Powerful ministers are husbands

Pang Miao deliberately chose the time when there were least people in the morning to go to Jinbao Building.

Although he is a scholar, at least he knows that businessmen like to make small plans. Judging from the conversation between the two brothers Cao Lu yesterday, Cao Xun is also quite suspicious.Therefore, some of the things arranged are also simple, so that there is no need to go around and talk about it, which made Cao Xun suspicious for no reason.

After the morning business in Jinbao Building, there were few people, and most of the guys were busy in the backyard.

After Cao Xun counted yesterday's account, he came out of the backyard and saw Pang Miao talking with Zhang Si.

Although Mr. Pang's younger sister is Cao Lv's first wife, he doesn't treat people right. The fire that burned on his aunt and eighth brother will not be involved in innocent people, so his attitude towards Pang Miao is not bad.

"Mr. Pang, you're here today. What's your order?" He stepped forward to say hello, "Master Cao Liu." Pang Miao politely arched his hands, still not very close, "I'm going to Chengnan Bookstore to collect books later. I met an acquaintance on the road and asked to discuss things here. In addition, my mother likes lighter dishes recently, so I revised the menu."

Cao Xun raised his hand and pointed to the stairs, "Young Master Pang, please come upstairs to the private room."

"No," Pang Miao waved his hand, pointing to the window facing the street, "I see it's pretty good there, just sit in the lobby. I'm sorry to waste your energy to tidy up the private room for a small matter." A row of camellias, full of bright red flowers, looks very festive, and this location is close to the counter, so Cao Xun can hear Cao Xun talking for a while.

Cao Xun felt that Pang Miao was quite honest, so he asked Zhang Sihao to serve him. He went behind the counter to check the restaurant's inventory account.

But at this moment, what he was thinking about was the sale mentioned by Cao Lv, and he was absent-minded about the accounts.

In fact, after a night, he kept thinking about Cao Lv's words. Rationally, he felt that the matter was not trivial, and he should agree to Cao Lv's request.But there is a small lump in his heart, he needs someone to push him...

Not long after, an old man with snow-white hair and beard came in. He was seven or eighty years old, but he was in good spirits. When he walked, the wind was blowing under his feet, and his clean and tidy off-white robes fluttered with his movements. He was quite fairy-like. The gaseous state made Cao Xun, who was the first to see him, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Seeing Pang Miao get up, Zhang Si hurriedly led people over, dusted the stool with a towel, and carefully watched the old man sit still.

"You are Mr. Qi that Sun Sheng mentioned?" Pang Miao asked respectfully.

The old man stroked his snow-white beard calmly, and smiled kindly, "It's the old man, Mr. Pang is lucky to meet you."

Pang Miao hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry to bother you to make a trip in person."

"Well, this is a hobby in my life, and I came here because of my interest." Mr. Qi said straight to the point, "Mr. Pang, please sit down quickly. If you have any questions, it's okay to say."

Cao Xun's eyes did not move away, and he needed a little room to breathe.

Pang Miao poured the wine and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I don't really believe in these things, but after Sun Sheng mentioned it to me, I have always wanted to see the old gentleman."

Cao Xun scratched his itch in his heart, so he should tell the whole story quickly.

"But... I have never lived with the old man. Why don't you ask the old man to talk about it first. If you are right, I think this is the best way to continue." Pang Miao caught Cao Xun looking here, but the words The speed is still unhurried, arousing his curiosity.

Mr. Qi looked at Pang Miao with clear eyes, and after going up and down three times, the old god said: "Mr. Pang was born on the 12th day of May [-], Zhang He, and has a twin sister..." He paused Paused, shaking his head, with sad eyes, "Your sister suffered an accident last year and unfortunately passed away."

Speaking of this, Pang Miao also looked sad, and said softly: "Mr. Qi, please continue."

"In the third year of Jingzhao, you were a Jinshi in high school, and you have been selected for nearly four years. At the beginning of this year, you got a job in the Secretary's Department as a nine-rank school secretary." Mr. Qi lowered his hand and smiled: "Mr. Pang, what the old man said is true." right?"

Pang Miao smiled nonchalantly, "You can know these things by just asking around, but I still can't believe you."

Mr. Qi was as steady as Mount Tai, and waved to Pang Miao, beckoning him to come closer and talk, "Mr. Pang, if you want to hear some secret things from this old man, then I will tell you. However, this family matter is for outsiders to listen to." It’s not good to go, I’ll tell you in a low voice.”

So the two of them got together and whispered.

Cao Xun didn't have a pair of clairvoyant ears, so naturally he couldn't hear what the fortune teller was saying, not to mention he wasn't interested in other people's private affairs.It's just that there have always been ghosts and gods. There are so many fortune-tellers and self-proclaimed half-immortals on the street, but he has never met one who is really capable. Most of them pretend to be ghosts and fool people.

Seeing the astonishment on Mr. Pang's face, Cao Xun thought to himself that the old man probably has skills.

He was still itching in his heart, and he paid more attention to the situation on Pang Miao's side.

Not long after, Pang Miao got up and bowed, "The old man is indeed a strange man, what you said is exactly right, and it is true." Then he sat down again, held Mr. Qi's hand with great sincerity, and poured out the bitter water: " You see, others can wait for two or three years to get an official position, but I have been waiting for nearly four years. Although it is a good job, I always feel nervous in my heart, feeling that I will die in the position of school secretary... ...My ancestors were prominent, after death, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors?"

He frowned, his eyes were covered with mist, and at the same time his body twisted a few times uneasily, appearing very anxious, fully expressing his confusion and anxiety about his future.

"Old Mr. Qi, please do the math for me. Will my future official career be smooth? If there is a catastrophe, how can I resolve it?"

Cao Xun looked at the old fortune-teller looking at Pang Miao's face in a dignified manner, and then counted, "Mr. Pang's future official career...will be hindered by villains. If he can't get over that hurdle, I'm afraid I can only be a small official when I die. The way to resolve it..." He moved to Pang Miao's ear again, gestured in his hand, and took out a talisman from his sleeve, "In this way, you must A general with a prosperous career, a villain who never meets obstacles along the way."

Pang Miao was not in a hurry to take the talisman, and murmured: "Mr., how much money do you think you want to charge?"

Old Mr. Qi raised his hand, and just when Cao Xun thought it was at least five hundred copper coins, he heard a sentence, "Old rules, only five copper coins are accepted".

Cao Xun's jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise. The fortune tellers he met before, as long as they took out any talisman or panacea, they would kill people severely. This old man is very strange. He has real skills. body, but only charge such a small amount of money.

He thought to himself that Pang Miao was Cao Lv's brother-in-law, and he was hanging around in the imperial city, so how could he be the fortune teller's babysitter, so he raised his robe and came forward, and gave Mr. Qi a respectful fist.

"Sir, I wonder if you can do some calculations for me?" He really wanted to know whether the business of the restaurant could be done well, and whether his wife and children could live a good life.So in the past, I often inquired about where there was a good fortune teller in the imperial capital, and I wanted to ward off disasters and take refuge, so that I could live my life in peace and stability.

Pang Miao didn't help to speak.

Mr. Qi stood up and walked slowly around Cao Xun, keeping his eyes on him all the time, seeing him clearly from top to bottom, and finally fixed on his forehead.

"This young man is destined to be rich and honored all his life, but it's not good, it's not good... Let the old man do the math—" He counted again, walked towards the courtyard, scanned the entire interior of the restaurant, his face became more serious .

Cao Xun waited for Old Mr. Qi to turn around and come back, and quickly asked, "How is it, old man?"

"I see that your seal has turned black, there must be a catastrophe in the near future, and the fierceness is in this restaurant." Mr. Qi sighed and shook his head, his brows were deeply furrowed, "This place will drag you down so that you will have no chance to turn around in this life."

Reminiscent of what Cao Lv said last night that the court was involved, Cao Xun was shocked, and grabbed Mr. Qi's sleeve as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Please, Mr. Qi, point out a way out."

Mr. Qi said: "Actually, the solution to it is simple. You just need to sell the restaurant and find a new job, and this fierce aura will no longer follow you."

Cao Xun asked, "Won't that harm the buyer?"

"It's not necessarily true. Everyone has their own destiny. Some people have a hard life, so they can suppress the fierceness here."

Cao Xun lowered his head and murmured after a while: "I see, I see..."

At this time, Pang Miao's heart was in his throat, and he didn't know if he could give Cao Xun a push.

At this time, a woman came in. Pang Miao recognized it as Mrs. Cao Liushao. He turned his face away and whispered to Old Mr. Qi.

Seeing her husband's gloomy expression, Mrs. Six asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"No, no." Cao Xun quickly adjusted his expression, and carefully helped his wife walk behind the counter.

Mrs. Six took out some snacks from the food box carried by the maid, and said to Cao Xun, "I heard something extraordinary today. Do you know how the second brother lost the medicine shop..." With the presence of outsiders, her voice gradually lowered.

Cao Xun was taken aback, "Is this really the case?"

"Where can there be a fake?" Sixth Young Madam shook her head, "No wonder the second brother divorced Guo Miao, it turned out that he did such a dirty thing. But the strange thing is that the eighth brother didn't punish these two people severely, and took away the medicinal materials to sell them. It's over."

Cao Xun didn't speak, the entanglement in his eyes finally dissipated.
