The daily life of the fortune teller who was forced to open business

Yin and Yang eyes can also be divided into congenital, acquired and temporary.

Temporary ones are the easiest, folks have a way to open them, simple, convenient and easy to use—it’s not as mysterious as in the legend, for example, if you use ox tears, rhino horn incense, etc., you can naturally connect yin and yang, but this category is It is time-sensitive, and it is not considered a serious acquired yin and yang eye. Some Taoist people cannot keep their eyes open for a long time in their lifetime, so they can only rely on this method to use it at critical moments.

Of course, it's easy to close it up, and it's over if you don't use it.

Acquired ones are like Nan Shi, who have this talent but are not top-notch, and gradually turn it off as they grow older, and then open their yin and yang eyes because of certain opportunities.This kind of confinement is more complicated than a temporary one, but the left is nothing more than people, food, and utensils.

To put it simply, either find some eminent monks, or wear corresponding utensils, or eat some miraculous food, replenish yang energy, shield the aura and magnetic field of the underworld, and lose sight.

If it is congenital, there are only two ways left: one, find an expert to change your life; two, ask God for help to take away the talent of yin and yang eyes.

However, this road basically does not exist. God is so busy. It is better to hope that God can find an expert than to hope that God will have a whim one day.

Nan Shi is this expert.

Nan Shi looked at Liu Han: "Are you willing to return to normal?"

Yes, back to normal.

It is not normal to have these eyes.

Nan Shi's question actually asked her that she would like to return to a normal life and have nothing to do with these ghosts. There is a high probability that she will never encounter supernatural events again. At the same time, even if she encounters them, she will be ignorant , can only rely on instinct or knowledge to escape.

Liu Han is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Not to mention, this thing is actually very cool in the eyes of a large number of young people. Fourteen or fifteen years old has always been an age that is not willing to be ordinary.She turned her head to look at Ms. Liu, shook her head and said, "I don't want to turn it off, it looks good."

Ms. Liu quickly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you know? If you can protect yourself, I, a mother, won't let you turn it off! Now Mr. Nan is willing to help, that's the best but."

Miss Liu finished training her daughter, looked at Nan Shi again, and apologized: "I'm sorry Mr. Nan, the child is still young, she doesn't understand - if she inherited our family's talent, she should keep it, but in these years I have also sent it to the Taoist temple, and also to the nunnery, she does not have this talent, and she can only harm others and herself if she keeps it."

Nan Shi agreed with this statement. Although he didn't want to turn it off if he moved to another place, in fact, his life is the most important thing. Not wanting to do it is completely different from not doing it: "Then Miss Liu, have you considered it? If you turn it off If she loses it, Ling Ai may not be suitable to stay by your side."

Miss Liu is a member of the family, she is naturally like Nan Shi, if Liu Han stays with her mother, I am afraid that she will lose her life soon--I didn't see that most of the folks who dance the magic yin and yang come alone go alone?Even if there are spouses and children, most of them have to live alone.If nothing else, I'm afraid that one day I will be unlucky and something will happen to me, and I will drag my family down.

Just don't be a drag, ghosts come and go around every day, how can an ordinary person live by his side?Do you think you have lived too long or are you in good health?

"Mr. Nan, don't worry. I've already contacted her with a private junior high school with a dormitory system. She can study consecutively in junior and senior high schools. If she is promising in the college entrance examination, she can take the domestic one. If she doesn't, she can go abroad and go to a pheasant university." Ms. Liu said Nan Shi thought she was caring for her daughter, but Ms. Liu answered again: "Private schools are really expensive, even if she doesn't close her eyes, she still has to study for me. The tuition has already been paid." gone."

Oh, it turns out that I love money.

The world is real.

Nan Shi smiled very understandingly, and lowered his eyes to look at Liu Han: "How about this, I'll lock her up for a few years first, and if she still wants to come to me ten years later, I'll do it again for her." It doesn't matter if you open it, if you don't have this heart, just keep going like this."

Ms. Liu tasted it carefully: "That would be the best, but is it a little troublesome for Mr. Nan?"

"It's easy to do." Nan Shi said.

Liu Han thought about it for a while and nodded, as he agreed.Nan Shi asked her to take the horoscope, and used Suantian to find out the horoscope for her quite seriously. These few days are not suitable for this little girl, and there will be an auspicious day in four days, so that day is more suitable.

Four days later, Nanshi's affairs happened to be over, and he was able to help her deal with it before returning to S City.

Miss Liu also knew that they were particular about fortune-telling, so she nodded without asking any further questions, and left a bank card to Nan Shi: "Please trouble Mr. Nan, this is the deposit."

Nan Shi wasn't polite to her either, they had an old relationship, but he was considered a benefactor of the Liu family, so there was no reason not to take money.

After sending Miss Liu away, Guo Xingxian just came out of the bedroom yawning: "I didn't come out when I heard you had guests just now... I'm starving to death, do you have anything to eat?"

Nan Shi ordered two copies for breakfast before, but now he still has one copy. Hearing this, he got up and went to the kitchen to heat up the milk for him: "Wait, Dad will heat it up for you."

"Okay, dear son."

***

Lihua Pavilion is a three-story building, neither big nor small, very delicate.

Nan Shi and Guo Xingxian came a bit late, just on the eve of the opening ceremony, and Lao Zhang who was waiting at the door greeted them as soon as he saw them, and said, "Mr. Nan, Mr. Guo, you are here. I thought you weren't coming..."

The two followed him inside and said, "There was a traffic jam when we came here. I didn't expect it to be so traffic jam today on a working day."

Lao Zhang patted himself on the face lightly: "Look at what I did, it was my fault, I should have picked up the two of you... Please follow me."

The two were led to a box on the second floor. After entering the door, Lao Zhang took the menu and invited them to order a table of dishes, and then ordered someone to pull open a sliding door on the entire wall, and the scene was displayed in an instant. Out of the auction platform below.

"It's quite formal." Guo Xingxian sighed.

"That's right." Lao Zhang stood aside politely, without sitting down: "This time, Li, Wang, and Zhao's family cleared their warehouse together. Such a grand event is rare. Lihua Pavilion has always been good at doing business. People, how could they miss it? But with them, at least things are guaranteed.”

To be able to go on the auction stage, it must be genuine, otherwise a buyer claiming to be from the Song Dynasty took it back for appraisal and found out that it was a counterfeit, slapping Lihua Pavilion in the face.Of course, it doesn't matter if the auction item doesn't specify that it is from a certain era, but the price of this kind of goods will be greatly discounted.

Lihua Pavilion takes a commission for auctions, and generally does not do such thankless things.

Lao Zhang went on to introduce: "This auction will be divided into open auction and secret auction. The open auction is a normal auction. If the two of you fancy something, you can just bid directly. For the secret auction, you need to fill in a Numbers, just operate on the tablet, and after all the hidden auction goods are over, Lihua Pavilion will announce on the spot who took the photos.”

Guo Xingxian was very curious when he heard this: "Is the secret auction also for the highest bidder?"

"Normally not." Lao Zhang explained: "But it depends on the price given by the seller. The one closest to the number given by the seller is chosen, but some sellers will also mark that the higher asking price gets."

"You two have to pay attention. This price would rather be filled up than low. Many sellers themselves will participate in secret auctions in order to prevent things from being auctioned off. If the price is listed, they would rather pay a commission themselves Those who don’t want to sell. If you win the auction, the waiter will deliver the item to you, so you don’t have to go through the formalities yourself.”

Nan Shi rested his chin on the side and listened: "So that's the case, thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"I can't bear to call me like that." Lao Zhang said kindly: "If there is nothing else, I'll go back to my box first—it's next door. If Mr. Nan has anything to do, call someone to call me next door. One sound will do."

"Okay." Nan Shi responded, and Lao Zhang took his leave and left.

Guo Xingxian then shook his head and said, "You're too shrewd."

The reason why Lao Zhang is leaving now is to avoid Nan Shi and Guo Xingxian asking him to pay attention to the reference price at the auction later. Everyone in the hidden bid has only one chance. If he didn't win, he would inevitably be angered by Nan Shi and the others, so he left in a hurry.

"It's not bad if people are willing to talk to us to this extent." Nan Shi leisurely took the auction brochure handed over by the waiter and read it. Guo Xingxian also took a copy. They were all paper and well-designed It's quite beautiful.

This manual is divided into three parts. They are the items that will be auctioned every day. Most of them are open auctions.

Most of the good things are photographed in the dark. Guo Xingxian turned two pages and suddenly pointed to a fish-shaped handle and said, "Look at this, does it look like the one we saw at the street stall the other day?"

Nan Shi also leaned over and took a look: "Huh? Really? How did this get lost?"

Shouldn't this be at the police station?Why is it at the auction again?Could it be twins?

"Let's see, maybe it's not the same thing."

After a while, the food was served, and at the same time, the auction officially started.Naturally, the first item cannot be a dark shot, at least it is the finale. It is a jade screen. It can be seen that it was carefully selected. A finely carved jade plate is inlaid on the shiny nanmu frame. The corresponding pattern is also displayed on the large screen at the rear.

The host is a respectable man in his forties, he raised his voice: "The first thing to do today, our boss said, we have to come up with something more expensive, let's take care of it!"

Everyone in the building let out good-natured laughter.

The host also laughed, and after laughing, he said in a high-spirited way: "During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor made a beautiful jade screen with happy eyebrows to welcome the spring. The jade board on it is a whole piece of suet jade. The most difficult thing is the pattern on it. , self-contained, the nanmu shelf below is also an old thing, we have never replaced it in Lihua Pavilion! This thing is rare no matter what era it is! You can look forward to it! The base price is 2000 million, and the bosses are invited to bid!"

This price is not cheap, nor expensive, it is a price with a bit of conscience, after all, the material is there.

As the opening, this thing will not be easy to be photographed. The big screen behind the host kept beating, and soon locked on a number: "Boss No. 17 is generous, take the lead Bureau, 2000 million! Is there any higher?"

Nan Shi laughed; "Are all the auction hosts so down-to-earth now?"

"Maybe this is popular now?" Guo Xingxian said.

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other and covered their wallets with heartache.

The two of Yu Chaping are not indifferent, but the money they can use is only so much. Nanshi is still rich at first, but yesterday he donated what Mrs. Li gave at half the price. , not so much.

If the base price of this jade screen can be taken away, maybe the two of them can buy it together.

Guo Xingxian said in pain: "I suspect that we came to the wrong place, is this a place where the two of us can come?"

"Calm down, eat the vegetables." Nan Shi didn't change his face: "The first one must be more expensive, and it won't be so expensive later."

"Hopefully so."

Guo Xingxian can only turn grief and anger into appetite, eat a wave first and then talk.

The dishes in Lihuage are not bad. After the two of them finish the cold dishes, the next filming has not yet finished. The price of the jade screen has already exceeded [-] million. Nan Shi glanced at the numbers above and felt like a dream: "No, is a jade screen so expensive? Don't you know jade?"

Guo Xingxian reluctantly took the tablet to Nan Shi to search for the price of mutton fat jade, and then gestured to the one on the table: "Look at the size, it's such a big and thick board, and it's a double-sided carving. Even those who buy plastic will have to charge you four or five hundred, not to mention suet jade... This color is also a coincidence, it looks better than the ones dyed on purpose, how can it be not expensive?"

"There is also nanmu. Where can I find this material these days? You can't steal it. The dragon chair in the palace is made of golden nanmu. It should be Xiangnan."

Xiangnan wood is slightly purple, with beautiful texture and a special fragrance, so it is called "Xiangnan".

Guo Xingxian looked down eagerly: "It would be great if I could touch it... See it and you will own it. If you touch it, I will earn money."

Nan Shi looked at the waiter who had been standing in the corner as a decoration, and the waiter immediately showed eight sharp teeth: "This jade screen is not available for close observation, if you are interested, sir, you can wait for the auction to finish. Buyer to discuss."

God knows who bought it?

Guo Xingxian burst into tears.

The auction below has also entered a fever pitch, and everyone stopped holding back, and finally stopped at 2000 million. The host shouted excitedly: "2000 million sold!! Boss Liu is so grand! Our opening baby today is It fell into the hands of Boss Liu, I wish Boss Liu happy every day, and welcome the spring and the coming year!"

A beam of light fell on a box on the third floor, and a fat middle-aged man appeared beside the railing and waved to everyone with a smile on his face. It seemed that he was Boss Liu.

Soon this jade screen was withdrawn, and the second collection came up. It was a scroll. When I unfolded it, I saw dragons and phoenixes dancing on it, and then I looked at the meaning of the words. The two looked at each other again, speechless—— Come on, it's another thing that you can only look at and can't afford.

There is a word on this scroll. This word is a full-text recitation item in the junior high school Chinese textbook.Generally speaking, it is the author himself who prompts the lyrics, and there are very few literati and poets who will beg others to write their own poems, so the price can be imagined.

Someone joked loudly: "Why do I think this second thing is more suitable for the opening? Is it because your Lihua Pavilion is not good enough, and you brought the finale treasure ahead of time?"

"That's right, I'm going to be unconvinced if the finale is not as good as this one!"

The host looked innocent: "That must be the wrong thing! Miss Manners, go to the backstage to have a look, did you take the wrong thing?! How did I remember that the second auction item was an inkstone sold in a stationery store?"

Laugh out loud.

Even though Nan Shi knew it was intentional, he couldn't help laughing.

Now that the painting scroll was up, it was impossible to go down, and in the end it was auctioned for a sky-high price of [-] million.

Guo Xingxian said with an expression of 'I have ascended to heaven': "You said, the two of us are here today to open our eyes, right? Let me tell you that this table meal is not cheap, if it is the same as these two collections , the two of us may have to wash dishes for a lifetime here to pay off."

Before Nan Shi could speak, the waiter pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, the fee for your box has already been paid by Mr. Zhang next door."

Guo Xingxian touched her heart exaggeratedly: "Then I can rest assured."

The third auction item is finally something that both of them can afford. It is really an inkstone, with a base price of 20. If you want to say how good it is, it’s not too much, but there are quite a lot of similar things in this building. , the first two pieces couldn't even afford the reserve price, so I took a breath, and suddenly came a piece that everyone can participate in. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly high, and finally it was sold at a price of 78, which far exceeded the value of the inkstone. .

The people who bought it were a bit taken advantage of, but the people who come here are not short of such a million, so they are happy to buy it.

Then came the fourth and fifth pieces... Nanshi and Guo Xingxian kept holding back and never made an offer. What Nanshi wanted were antiques with good cost performance, and Guo Xingxian's goal was a little clearer. He only wanted jade. Things obviously didn't meet the standards of the two of them, so they didn't make a move.

When they arrived at item No.17, as soon as the items arrived, the two looked at each other again, and Nan Shi asked, "Do you want to buy it?"

"Okay." Guo Xingxian scooped up the tablet and offered a price.

"Mr. No. 36, the bid is 20 yuan! Is there a higher one?" The host blushed, "If it's 20 yuan, you can take it away, but it's a big profit! It's also the pink color of the Yongle period in the Ming Dynasty." Peony and Dushan jade ornaments, tsk tsk, this is rare!"

Although Dushan jade is one of the four famous jades in the Rabbit Dynasty, its value is far inferior to that of jadeite, suet jade, and white jade. Mountain jade is even rarer, and regardless of the era, as far as modern times are concerned, if there is a piece of powder on a Dushan jade handle, the price will be several thousand more.

This is a high-quality product, and the base price is really a conscience, even if it is doubled, it will not be a loss.

Guo Xingxian clasped his hands together and looked at the sky: "Father Tiandao bless you, I hope I can buy this piece at a low price! I like it so much!"

Nan Shi heard it funny, and taught him how to go through the back door: "You can't just say it, you have to give me some sweets, and you have to fulfill your wish!"

"Oh!" Guo Xingxian immediately said, "If I can get this Dushan Jade at a low price, I will make a big sacrifice for Father Tiandao!"

At this time, someone quoted below: "21!"

"Okay! 21! Is there a higher one?!" the host asked.

Guo Xingxian added 22 yuan without hesitation, not knowing if the oath had an effect, but he was surprised that no one would snatch it from him, and let him get it with 36 yuan!The host shouted: "Mr. No. 22 is lucky today! I'm starting to envy you! [-] turnover! I wish you prosperity and prosperity!"

Guo Xingxian was so happy that she danced and wanted to go to the side of the railing to let the beam of light shine on her. She waved her hand decently, and was pressed down by Nan Shi and sat down: "Don't be ashamed? They spent one or two hundred million yuan. It’s fine if you wave your hand, if you spend 10,000+, don’t go up and show yourself!”

"Okay..." Guo Xingxian pouted.

The next one is the first hidden bid this time.

The hidden mark was covered by a red cloth, and the host lifted the red cloth to reveal the contents inside: "This is the first hidden mark in this show, an unknown ice species jadeite Ruyi, the author is unknown, now There is 10 minutes of bidding time, everyone who is interested, don't miss it!"

"Tsk tsk! This water head is too big! Such a big ice jadeite, if you can't see the dynasty, it won't be reduced to a secret auction! If you want me to say, it can be the finale!"

Boosed from below: "You brag like that with an ice species? Old Wang, you can't do it!"

"It's unbelievable to hold out millions of dollars! As long as it's not famous, emeralds are worthless in the old days!"

The ancient jadeite of the Rabbit Dynasty is a worthless thing. It is more of a good-looking gem, but less of a stone. Before a certain dynasty, it was only used by the people and could not be used on the table. ①

As for this Ruyi, it is also a worthless thing. Its essence is to scratch. Thanks to its nice name and auspicious omen, its symbolic meaning gradually surpassed its practical significance.

He has also seen a lot of Xingxian jadeites. What he likes is the carving, and he thinks the carvings are good. In addition to the current price of jadeite, as long as the price of such a big one is not more than 300 million, it will be profitable. .

Nan Shi was quite moved, it was quite suitable to be placed in the store as a facade, so he discussed it with Guo Xingxian, and the two each offered a price and put it into the hidden bid.

There will be no results for a while, and you have to wait until all the auction items are over before you know whether you have won or not.

The next item is an open auction item: "Eight Treasures Lotus Bracelet made by Emperor Yongzheng of Qing Dynasty, with a reserve price of 80 yuan, are you optimistic about it? Let's not mention this carving, but Yongzheng believes in Buddhism, at least This one should also be consecrated by the master! Don’t miss it when you pass by! Bosses, if you like it, you can bid!”

Nan Shi frowned, this bracelet...why does it look a bit like Chi You's one?

He naturally remembered the items Chi You wore clearly. After he picked out that bracelet from the warehouse, Chi You kept wearing it on his wrist. Between Su Jing and Nong Yan, he stared at it a lot. Remember clearly.

Could it be another twin thing?

Nan Shi suddenly became greedy.

Everything else might be an extravagant wish, but buying a bracelet similar to Chi You's is not... no?

The author has something to say:

①I remember this saying, but I haven’t verified it, so I just made it up
