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

This beautiful agate cup finally fell into Nan Shi's hands.

Nan Shi liked to look left and right, until it was dawn, he was not willing to let go.

Both Qingying and Qinglan cleaned up the shop, Nan Shi reluctantly put the wooden box into Qinglan's hand, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to you!"

Qing Lan: "...Young Master?"

Nan Shi blinked at her crazily: "That's right, I'm giving it to you... But can you lend me to enjoy it for a while?"

This must be sent out, otherwise the horoscope will play a role, even if it is placed in the safe, maybe it will perform a ground sinking on the spot. The safe is fine, and the cup will be broken into eight petals!

He is now a man who has to borrow his mobile phone, and he is not worthy of having a treasure worth hundreds of millions.

Qing Lan understood instantly, and pushed the box back into Nan Shi's hand: "Okay, young master, please be careful and return it to me."

"Okay! No problem!" Nan Shi replied with a smile.

Qing Ying secretly shook her head aside, it would be more expensive than this if a servant at home took out a plate from the bottom of the box, I never saw the young master so happy!

Fortunately, Nanshi didn't know about Qingying's slander, otherwise Nanshi would have sprayed it back: other people's things and his own, are they the same thing?

Nan Shi couldn't help admiring it for a while, until the sun was shining all over the world, and it would be difficult to leave if he didn't leave, so he took Qinglan and Qingying home - let's take this agate cup home and put it in the store In case of any accident inside, he really has no place to cry, so take him home and let Qinglan find a place for him to keep it, and wait until the horoscope is changed back later.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, there are gradually tourists on the pedestrian street. Occasionally, you can see a tour guide holding a small eye-catching flag leading a group of old men and women to explain the scenic spots along the way. Nanshi and Qingying are both from the Republic of China Dressed in the same period, three people with three paper umbrellas, and asked if they were the staff responsible for group photos here.

When Nan Shi said no, those old men and women were even happier.

If you are not a staff member, then you don’t need to pay for taking pictures!

After Nan Shi was dragged twice and forced to escape in embarrassment, he walked to the parking lot on a small path—it wasn't that Nan Shi didn't want to take pictures with people, it was because he couldn't!

Think about it, a group of old men and women took a group photo, turned around and looked at the phone, oh my god, there is only one person in the photo, who is to blame for the cause and effect of the heart attack on the spot?If it hasn't been rescued, it will be a lot of fun.

In fact, Nan Shida doesn't need to go from the parking lot. No one cares about what kind of parking lot the ghost car wants, even if it is directly parked on the roof. Everything is done according to the behavior of living people.

The three of them walked slowly along the alley. Nan Shi, who was used to going out at night, yawned. Just as he was about to step up and go home, Nan Shi suddenly stopped - he seemed to be living here before. The old lady ordered tinfoil ingots?I made an appointment to hand it in once a month or half a month, and the calculation time is about the same. Now I just walk to the door of someone's house, so let's take it back by the way.

There are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, so I just pack up and give out year-end bonuses to the servants in the family!

Although his senior brother will give it to him, he, the young master, can't show nothing!

He turned around and walked back two rooms, knocked on the door after spotting the house number: "Is grandma at home?"

The sound of knocking on the door was three heavy and one light. Nan Shi actually wanted to stop when he knocked the third time, but it seemed that something was restricting him to knock four times, so he forced him to knock the fourth time. .

There is no sound inside.

But Nan Shi knew that there was someone inside, and it felt quite strange, not through his eyes, but because he knew there was someone inside anyway.

He knocked again and asked, "Is grandma at home? I'm Nan Shi, the boss of Nanchen Pavilion, have you finished the ingot I ordered from you?"

With this sentence, there was a sound inside: "Boss Nan? It's ready, wait for me to open the door..."

There was the sound of unusually slow and heavy footsteps, and it seemed that something had been bumped into, and it fell to the ground with a splash.Nan Shi waited patiently outside the door. After a while, the door opened.

Nan Shi was surprised when he saw the old lady. It had only been ten or twenty days since he saw her, and the old lady felt a lot older. Most of her hair was already gray, and it was piled up in a mess on top of her head, like a quilt. Like a punctured rubber ball, it was shriveled visible to the naked eye.

When she raised her eyes to look at Nan, her eyes were like the eyes of a dead fish, gray and without a trace of light: "Boss Nan...you are here. In your store, I'm sorry..."

"It's all right." Nan Shi smiled and said, "If you're not in good health, just rest. I walk past you every day, and I take you back with me. It doesn't take much trouble."

The old lady was silent for a while, then shook her head: "The things are inside, Boss Nan, let's move in... This is the last batch, and I won't do it in the future."

The room was still dark, and the sun seemed to have forgotten the room.

Nan Shi was startled, he could naturally see that the old lady's death was approaching.I don't know what happened, but in just half a month, her eyebrows have turned black, but if she survives this year, she should be able to live for another two years.

He looked around, but he didn't see the figure of the old man. He couldn't remind him directly, so he could only follow the old lady's words: "What's wrong?"

"I'm too old to do it anymore." The old lady shook her head, got out of the way, and pointed to the two cardboard boxes piled up beside the table.

Qingying nodded, and moved over with her skirt. Nan Shi couldn't bear it, and asked, "If you're not feeling well, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No need, just fix the problem like this." The old lady said: "I know it in my heart."

Having said all this, Nan Shi couldn't be more reluctant. He subconsciously wanted to scan the QR code to pay, but then realized that the other party's son was not filial, so he turned his head and asked the second daughter, "Who brought the cash?"

Fortunately, Qingying brought cash, and Nan Shi specially gave some more, and then went home with the cardboard box in her arms.

The old lady saw their figures walking away, and Nan Shi's gown flew up while walking, but the old lady didn't see Nan Shi's feet.

She rubbed her eyes and looked again carefully, but saw that Nan Shi had already turned around and was out of sight.

...It should be dazzled.

***

When he got home, Nan Shi was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he ordered someone to report to Chi You and went back to his room to sleep.

Qinglan was still holding Nanshi's precious agate cup, which Nanshi liked very much, so she naturally couldn't find a random place to store it like before, so she found it on Qinghetou.

Qinghe is in charge of internal affairs, and she is always referred to for anything in the inner courtyard.

"Sister Qinghe, should someone change the east wing of the young master's courtyard?" Qinglan gestured to the wooden box in her arms: "Young master's collection is not always kept in the dark."

In fact, she still has a lot of Nanshi's collection over there - didn't the store get teased by fire before? Nanshi felt sorry for those treasures he really liked. Keep it for him.

Qinghe thought for a while, and asked, "Your Master?"

"No, that's what I meant." Qing Lan said, "I'm afraid the young master will not be able to make money these few years."

"There is a generator under the east wing of Hanguang Courtyard, and it has been sewered, so I'm afraid it's not easy to change it." Qinghe said.

Because the whole family used to eat, drink, and surf the Internet alone in Nanshi before, the most technological gadgets in the whole house were all under the Hanguang courtyard where he lived. At that time, he was afraid of disturbing Nanshi. A basement, now it is not so convenient to make another basement to collect antiques.

But it's actually not that difficult, Hanguangyuan can't be moved, and just find an empty yard in the inner courtyard. The Bailulou, which is used for classes in Nanshi now, is good.

Qing He was about to say something when he heard Chi You's voice from inside: "Come in and talk."

Qinghe and Qinglan looked at each other, then went in hand in hand, Chiyou yawned lazily, Fang half sat up, Qinghe stepped forward and put his coat on him lightly, Chiyou looked at Qing Lan: "The young master is back?"

"Sir, Master, it will take half an hour for the young master to come back." Qing Lan bowed back.

"En." Chi You responded lightly, and suddenly thought of something again, and sneered: "...ask someone to clear out the east room in the mausoleum and put things for the young master."

As far as Nan Shi was concerned, did he really think that if he gave away his things in a fake way, he would be able to escape?Just kidding.

In terms of losing money, it doesn’t mean that only one’s own money can be ruined. If something borrowed from someone else is damaged, you have to pay for it.

Seeing that Nan Shi has been well-behaved and obedient recently, let's borrow a room and ask him to put some trash.

The two girls bowed their knees together and said yes.Chi You waved his hand and told people to back out.

He got up and went to the desk, and drew a lottery from the lottery container to read.

There was no writing on the hanging sign, but when he looked at it, two pitch-black words appeared - Xiaxia.

Chi You hooked the corner of his mouth sarcastically, threw the stick back into the barrel, and drew it again, but the stick broke when he was still unread. There are two bright red characters: 'upper'.

Chi You glanced at it, then threw the stick away.

This one is useless.

He didn't lie to Nan Shi when he counted others, but he didn't lie to Nan Shi when he counted his own good and bad.

Small things can count, big things can't.

The more people, things, and things are entangled with one's own luck, the harder it is to see the other's fate.

Ever since Nan Shi turned severe, Chi You found that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to see Nan Shi's fate clearly.

——However, this is a good thing for him.

He opened the window, and the breeze blew outside, shaking the tassels under the curtain.

Suddenly there was a strange smell in the air, Chi You frowned and asked, "...what's wrong?"

Where is it burning?

The servant passing by the corridor stopped immediately, bowed and replied: "To the master of the mountain, it seems to be the young master..."

Before he finished speaking, a silver ingot the size of a fist fell from the top of his head, and then the silver ingot hit his head like a hailstorm. Nan Shi's voice came from nowhere: "Qin Liu , the year-end bonus is being distributed! Get it!"

The servant was smashed with bags all over his head. He should have been able to catch all these ingots well, but Chi You was in front. He couldn't be presumptuous, so he could only silently lower his head and endure the rain of money: "... The young master is handing out the new year's money."

Chi You: "..."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from above Chi You's head: "...Oops!"

A man dressed in black was thrown from the beam, and fell behind Chi You in embarrassment, holding a silver ingot that had just been smashed on top of his head in his hand.Seeing that Chi You turned his head to look, he climbed up the beam again stiffly, and Nan Shi's voice sounded: "Brother Eleven, your year-end award! You are a hidden guard, and I will give you double rewards!"

There was a crackling on the beam, and the hidden guard was in a hurry to pick it up, but fortunately, it didn't fall to the ground and hit Chi You.

The silver ingots were lined up on the beams, and the whole room was inexplicably brightened.

Chi You: "..."

The servant asked in a low voice: "The owner of the mountain?"

Chi You slammed the window shut: "Go get the New Year's money! Don't be an eyesore to me!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The hidden guard on the beam also responded and rushed out.

***

Nan Shi fell asleep at first, but for some reason, he lay down on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He thought about it and there was nothing to do. There was Chi You at home, and no matter how strong the sun was, there was nothing wrong with it. When I have free time, I will send out year-end bonuses to everyone.

He originally wanted to have a sense of ritual, and then hold an annual meeting or something, but Qingying persuaded him that the family was going to hold a banquet for the Chinese New Year, and since no one went home to celebrate the New Year, the annual meeting was unnecessary, and he would just send money to let him go. It's enough for everyone to have a good year, and Nan Shi just gave up.

The sun is good, the wind is good, and Yuan Bao will light up the flames at will.

The accountant, who was temporarily pulled over to work overtime, held the laptop he had just learned how to operate, and read line by line to the exl: "Master, the next is the dark guard, and the dark guard has always been double the yearly money. If the amount is a little lower, it should be enough to give each person a hundred silver ingots."

Nan Shi thought about it: "Is it enough? Is it too little?"

"No, clothing and accessories for four seasons at home, food and shelter are included, and if you have money, you have no place to spend it."

"...That's fine." Nanshi thought that when he had money, he would send some RMB to everyone. The money in the underworld can't be bought in Yangjian for express deliveries. .

A few secret guards who were not on duty came over to help Nanshi burn paper money with smiles: "This is the first time I burn paper money for myself!"

"Me too!"

Nan Shi sat on the table counting the ingots, and rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Didn't you see that the young master is too busy for me? Do you still want me to burn it for you personally?"

"Yes, yes, the subordinates can burn it themselves, don't bother the young master."

Soon the hidden guards were self-sufficient and received their year-end bonus. Nan Shi asked, "How many more? Why didn't you come?"

"They are on duty today, and the subordinates can just take them back for them."

Nan Shi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Get the money! It's better to get it yourself. Forget it, I'll burn it for them."

"Mr. Liu, will you disturb them?"

The accountant counted the number of people, and reported the names of those who did not come to claim the money and their corresponding year-end bonuses to Nan Shi, especially watching the excitement and saying, "Young master, just burn it, and everyone in our family can stretch out their hands to save it!" will get in the way."

Nan Shi started the great business of giving money in person: "For Qin Liu!"

"Give it to Brother Eleven!"

……

***

In the past few days, it may be that Nan Shi's name of "Nan Ban Xian" has been spread out. Old customers bring new customers. As soon as he arrived at the door of the store in the evening, he found two old ghosts waiting at the door.

"I've met Mr. Nan." The two bowed to Nan Shi according to the ancient etiquette. Nan Shi was still holding the milk tea and skewers he just bought in his hand, but he still responded in a timely manner, so he treated him as himself Holding some jade fan in his hand, he waved his hands coldly: "You two don't need to be polite, let's talk inside."

"Thank you Mr. Nan." The two of them followed Nan Shi into the shop.

A pillar of fragrance was ignited, and Nan Shi sat between the curling smoke, his legs gracefully crossed, and looked at the two with a half-smile.

"Today's subject should be the one on the left." He put his hand on his knee, and stretched out his other hand naturally. Behind him, Qing Lan put 'Suan Tian' (the big name for the turtle shell) in his palm: " Also please come."

The premise is that the strong aroma of cumin in the store is ignored.

Nan Shi didn't intend to pretend to be coercive, but he found that it was more straightforward to give money and things to pretend to be a coward, and he felt that his money was well spent, so he pretended to be a coward with tears—after all, the customer is God, Although he is self-employed, he also pays attention to customer experience!

They also sell grilled sausages, with the same taste, the ones baked with cobblestones are more expensive than the ones baked with electricity.

The two old ghosts looked at each other, and there was a hint of fear in the left eye, but they still insisted and said: "Since Mr. Nan can predict the foresight, why not guess what I am asking for?"

Normally, Nan Shi would have raised his hand to drive away the guests, but it wasn't just yesterday that he was in a good mood, Nan Shi didn't care about them.

His eyes swept across the old ghost's face, and he said directly: "Go for reincarnation, if you force it to stay, it will be fierce."

The old ghost's face changed: "...Mr. Nan hasn't known my four pillars yet..."

Judging from his appearance, this old ghost has a wife who has a pretty good relationship.Both of them are dead, and they will be a pair of fairy mandarin ducks in the underworld, but his wife seems to be getting tired of him recently.Nanshi didn't see what kind of face his wife had, so it's hard to say the specifics, but if this old ghost doesn't reincarnate, his marriage will immediately break up, his head will be covered with grasslands, and he will be in dire straits.

Unless he has a hobby of being a tauren.

It's just that his eyebrows are thick and straight, and his eyes are clear and powerful, so he probably doesn't have this hobby.

Reincarnation, everything starts over again, the marriage relationship in the previous life will be dissolved naturally, and there will be no catastrophe.

Nan Shi interrupted: "You don't need to know, you've already told me."

Nan Shi held back the next sentence, 'Pay and get out'.

The old ghost wanted to say something more, but the friend on the side gave him a hand, and said to Nan Shi with a smile on his face: "Mr. I have been living comfortably for the past few days, and I still don’t want to be reincarnated, can you point out a solution to this matter?”

After all, he took out a small box, which contained a lifelike jade cicada.

"I carved this in my free time. Does Mr. Nan like it?"

Nan Shi glanced at Yu Chan lightly, and his eyes fell on the other party - why, he said, why does it look familiar, isn't this the master of jade carving, Master Sun Changchou, who died 50 years ago!

This one is also the same as Master Wu who made agate cups before. His works count as one piece, and all of them are kept in national museums.

Nan Shi made a secret in his heart, but his face remained calm. With one hand raised slightly, Qing Lan stepped forward to put Yu Chan away, and put the pen and paper in front of her.

Qinglan said: "Please also write down the four pillars and eight characters, my husband can make his own conclusions."

The other party quickly picked up a pen and wrote down his birth and death years on the paper, and looked at Nan Shi expectantly.

When Nan Shi read the four-post horoscope, he had a charter in his heart.

This fate is broken, things haven't happened yet, and the cause and effect are shallow, so it's not very difficult... just a bit strange.

This horoscope, logically speaking, is the fate of an orphan. Where did the wife and children come from?But his face told him that he did have a wife and children, not just one, it can be said that he is full of children and grandchildren!

A person's face and horoscope rarely do not match.

He pondered for a moment, then took out a brand new piece of paper and put it in front of the old ghost, Qing Lan said: "Please write a word as you like."

The old ghost dipped the pen into the ink, and the tip of the pen was hanging on the paper, but he was still slow to write.

Suddenly, a drop of ink fell from the pen, and some ink stains were spotted on the paper.

"Okay, there's no need to write." Nan Shi said softly, and he raised his eyes to look at the other party: "Is there a capable person to change your life for you?"

But this fate has not been changed too much, which makes the face and the natal chart not match, and there is even a vague appearance of the natal chart restored.

Nanshi had never encountered such a situation before, so he waved his hand: "Give Yuchan back to him, I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."

It's best not to take advantage of things you don't understand, and it's harmful to start rashly.

But this matter is a bit strange, Nan Shi decided to go home and ask his senior brother.

***

"...That's how things are." Nan Shi put the other party's fate in front of Chi You, and took out his mobile phone to show the other party's face that he secretly photographed.

"En." Chi You waved his sleeves coldly: "If there is nothing wrong, then step back."

Nan Shi looked at Chi You suspiciously. It was rare for Chi You not to answer his questions. If he got angry again, Chi You would teach him patiently. At most, he would beat him up afterwards: "...Brother?"

"I'm not in the mood today, let's talk about it tomorrow." Chi You yawned softly, got up leisurely, and was going to sleep!

Nan Shi looked at the sky - no, it's just dawn, according to his usual schedule, Chi You should still be dancing now... No, he's still in good spirits.

But when it came to this point, Nan Shi had no choice but to resign.

After walking out of Chi You's courtyard, Nan Shi asked Qinglan, "What's the situation? Is senior brother feeling unwell? You can ask Steward Zhou to find a doctor to show senior brother."

Qing Lan came back after following Nan Shi, so she naturally didn't know what happened to Chi You, so when she heard the words, she said yes, and turned to look for Butler Zhou.

Nan Shi sat down in the corridor, chatting a little - he didn't bother to go back, something was wrong with Chi You, he wanted to hear what the doctor had to say so he could rest assured.

While waiting, a black shadow suddenly fell beside him.

Nan Shi was not surprised: "What's the matter? But brother, what's your order?"

The dark guard Eleven who just came off duty said quietly: "Master, when you gave us the New Year's money yesterday, I happened to be on duty..."

"...Then what's wrong?" Nan Shi asked back: "Could it be that Eleventh Brother, you didn't catch it and smashed it on top of my senior brother's head? That's not the case, you are so good?"

"...No." After Eleven said that, he disappeared in a flash.

Nan Shi sat for a while, and suddenly realized with an 'ah'—could it be that he gave money to the whole family, but not to his senior brother, so his senior brother was unhappy?

Damn, what's the matter!

Chi You, who hadn't slept well during the day because of the smell of burning paper in Nanshi, just lay down for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to catch a silver ingot that fell from the sky.

Nan Shi: "Brother, you've worked hard! Nan Shi wishes you an early New Year greeting!"

Chi You: "..."
