By Jia Xiuzhen

The chaos of timing is not as simple as charcoal rice noodles.Just to say that that day, Yingchun's nanny heard Xiuju and Siqi's double reed, and she was anxious, and hurried home after saying a few words.After entering the house, she began to search for money. When her daughter-in-law saw her looking for gambling money, she said, "Mother, what are you looking for? You will bet today?"

The nanny said impatiently: "What a gamble! That dead hoof chess player, relying on the old face of Wang Shanbao's family, first snatched the job of managing money from me, and now he is threatening to take that deadly jade! Redeem and return!"

Her daughter-in-law sneered and said: "What a big deal! What can she do with a little girl? Mother, you are always brave and not afraid of acting, but now you are afraid of a yellow-haired girl, which is strange!"

The nanny became even more impatient when she heard her talking like this, and raised her voice: "Stop talking about it! This jade can involve people's lives, and I'm going to find the second grandma to investigate! You can think of a way to come out, don't stand there and talk You don't have to worry about making sarcastic remarks!"

Her daughter-in-law felt bored when she heard this, and said embarrassingly, "Yo, it's not that I'm taking other people's things, so why did I get involved. Don't talk about the second grandma, even if the wife comes, I won't be involved!" The nurse was anxious and looked for it. The two pieces of jewelry cost a few taels of silver, so I hurried out to redeem them, too lazy to talk nonsense with her daughter-in-law.

The nanny went to the pawn shop in Qianjie and put the things on the counter, and the enshrinement saw that she was a regular customer, so she didn't care too much about her, so she happily accepted the pawn ticket and gave her what she pawned.The nanny hurriedly opened it and saw that it was the piece of warm jade, so she hurriedly put it away and hurried back to the house, thinking about finding a random corner to store it, she just said that the embroidered orange and chess pieces were wrong and she didn't see it.

She was in a hurry to rush back, but she didn't notice that there was a man in black clothes behind her.Seeing that Nanny Yingchun had entered the back door of Jia's mansion, the man thought that she was indeed in the city.Earlier, when I was in the mountains in the east, I noticed that there was a strong spiritual consciousness sweeping past, but I couldn't follow the direction. I only guessed that it should be in the city.I searched for this for a long time, but there was no trace, but I almost caught the bald and vicious way of the thief.

Now seeing that the things in the old lady's hands have spiritual power, but how could they come out of a pawnshop.Just as he wanted to enter the mansion for a closer look, he saw an extremely powerful burst of light emanating from the mansion, forcing him to somersault in the air and fell down to reveal his figure.

"Damn old ghost!" Seeing that the power came from the ancestral hall in the mansion, I think the ancestors of this family are amazing, the power is so murderous, I don't know how many heads were beheaded when they were alive.It's a trivial matter if you want to force your way in, but it's just that there will be some movement, which may cause others to fight back, especially the pair of monks who are lingering.Henhen had no choice but to give up, he thought it better to keep a close eye on it, and make plans when the ancestor spirit of this family is not in the mansion.Thinking of this, he turned into a light and shadow in a flash and went northeast.

In the Wuling Mountains in the northeast of the capital, a gleam of light shines in, but it is a hidden temple with the inscription "Oolongyuan".There are no people in the front or back, but the incense is very strong. The big jar of sesame oil is lit with Changming sea lanterns.But there is no monk or abbot, nor is there a Taoist Buddha statue. In the middle of the empty front hall, there is only a section of black object, which is made of unknown material, and there are hidden long lines.

A monk felt something from afar, but he disappeared when he got to the front, the Taoist said: "There is nothing left and right, I am going to tell Fairy Jing Huan about crossing people, it is better to talk to her." The monk nodded in agreement, The two went to the illusory realm together.

Fairy Jing Huan is about to achieve a small success, and all the golden Bodhi girls came to congratulate her with treasures, and they heard the news that Da Shi Miao Miao and Dao Miao Miao were coming to visit, and hurriedly stood up to greet her.Therefore, at the beginning of the Huifengliu evil spirit's calamity, these two people brought a stubborn stone to join in, and thought about taking a few off to make some merits, which can be regarded as some connection.

Jing Huan led the crowd out to welcome them, and when the two sides met, they offered fairy tea and spiritual fruit, and the monk told all the things he had done to cross people, and Jing Huan repeatedly praised him for his kindness.At the end, Master Mang Mang mentioned: "Now there is a Wu Hanshui scorpion in the world, who has the idea of ​​becoming a jiao and transforming into a dragon, but I don't know why he often stirs up wind and rain everywhere and paints charcoal. I wait for two chases. Let it escape from the real body. Heaven and man correspond, I don’t know if it will hinder the injustices who have experienced calamities, so I will tell the fairy to know.”

After hearing this, Jing Huan didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "There have always been wild foxes and lonely ghosts in this world. It's not a big problem if you think about it." The monk had already brought the words, and seeing that the matter was over, he left go.

Jing Huan was about to return to the palace, when a maidservant in colorful clothes approached and said: "There is something wrong with the crimson bead fairy grass in the jade fence recently, please go and check it." After hearing this, he immediately took people there.But I saw a graceful and slender grass in the white jade fence, the leaves are dark green and the tip is slightly purple, and there are no flowers or fruits.

It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to detect the clues, but when Jing Huan saw it, he felt that the aura surrounding the fairy grass seemed to be much weaker, and the clear spring at the root of it was as quiet as no waves.The little maidservant who reported the matter before said at the side: "I should be on duty these days. A few days ago, I found that the spring of tears under here is gone. At first, I thought it was my eyesight. This is specially marked, please Fairy Take a closer look, it has been more than half a day, not a single drop is missing."

Fairy Jing Huan nodded slightly when she heard the words, and said softly to the little maid: "I see, it's not because of your improper supervision, I'm afraid it's because Fairy Crimson Pearl has some coincidence in the lower realm." The little maid told herself Nothing to do, Fang heaved a sigh of relief.

Jing Huan returned to the dormitory, his younger sister Jianmei saw her and asked: "Sister, how is the grass?" Fairy Jing Huan frowned and said: "I don't know why the fairy spirit is weaker, although the difference is not much, But I can't hide it from me." Jianmei said: "It's not that my sister insisted on going down to earth and crying, I think it's better to let sister Jiangzhu come back as soon as possible, so everything will be fine?"

Fairy Jing Huan glanced at her and said: "I don't know what your plan is. If the waiter of Shenying really wants to be with you, I will naturally not stop it. It's just that you have to be careful. After cultivating a human body, she didn't come from our gradual cultivation, but turned into auspicious grass and trees, and there is no trace of debt, and the ascension to the real immortal is just around the corner..."

Before Jing Huan could finish speaking, Jianmei murmured in a low voice: "Ascending is ascension..."

"Bastard!" Jing Huan scolded angrily, "I let you go through the calamity of love in order to understand the Tao through love, and you are so fascinated by love! If you continue to do this, maybe I will let you go through thousands of lives and come back, see Wash or not wash your mind!"

When Jianmei heard this, she knew that the policeman was really angry, and hurriedly defended: "My sister is so unreasonable, I'm just saying something... I'm just worried, worried that if the crimson pearl fairy grass finds out, we will bind her with love Throughout the ages, trying to plot her fairy spirit, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be bad for us..."

After hearing this, Jing Huan sneered and said: "She is a natural elf of plants and trees. How could she understand this? Even if someone told her clearly, she would not believe it. Don't you know the power of emotion? As long as love is deeply rooted in this first calamity, Naturally, the soul has a memory, and it is found in the world of mortals, "I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals". The aura of fairy grass is self-generated, but her spirit is busy reincarnating and has no time to refine it. It is not just for my use, how can it be said?"

Jianmei hesitated and said: "The world... There are many tricks in the world. Although she was ignorant when she was born, she will be able to remember the past and the past when she is reincarnated. The human way is 'a person grows into a fine man'. It is really necessary to guard against." Jing Huan laughed. : "The spirit of plants and trees transforms people, how can there be a long-lived generation? They all died in Shaohua, and when they first opened their hearts and didn't know the sufferings of the world, they only lived in the word "love". The so-called love, how can they learn those methods?"

When Jianmei heard this, she thought about it before and after, and then she smiled.Seeing her like this, the policeman snorted coldly and said: "This time, the evil ghost is reincarnated, why don't you ask the King of Hades for a hairpin? You just took advantage of me and turned yourself into it. Hmph, you really think I don't want you!" You know?" Jianmei laughed after hearing this and said: "The old man of Hades is so annoying every time, he wants to stuff three when he wants one, who has the patience to mess with him? Sister Kuang always says that I don't practice in practice because of my empty thoughts. Going down to the world of mortals to experience experience, isn't it better than staying in the air?" Jing Huan knew that she was sophistrying, but he couldn't do anything for her, and only told her not to indulge her love and lose her heart.

The two of them also talked about the weakening of the aura of Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, Jianmei said: "I can only open my naked eyes, but I don't see anything strange." I don't know if it has made up its mind." Jianmei said: "The sky is not very good, my mortal body is just a mortal, even if I saw it, I wouldn't recognize it." Jing Huan made up his mind and said: "In a few days it will be the fairy birthday of Empress Tianji. After I have been busy for a while, I will personally pick up Jiang Zhu's living soul and come to talk about it. I will know when the time comes."

Not to mention how suspicious clouds are in the sky, it is late at night in this world.A group of people sneaked to the Oolong Courtyard in the deep mountains, offering incense, adding oil, and one kneeling in front of the case to pray silently.It was only half an hour before and after, and people went to the empty building, leaving a courtyard alone with lights, so I was not afraid of running out of water.When descending, one person said: "This dragon king is really brilliant, the mid-autumn festival can attract such a strong cold wind, and it has snowed on several hills here." Hearing a cough, he immediately shut up, stopped and walked quickly OK.

Seeing the depth of autumn and the increasing coolness, this Sister Feng's heart was burning.Seeing her like this, Jia Lian reminded her with a smile: "The charcoal in this mansion is all from Zhuangzi, and it comes in twice a year. I have never heard of any lack of it. This coal, it's always Lai Da. Reason. The back and forth in the shop last time, although you can’t rely on you anywhere, it only shows you, and I don’t know what people think. Listen to me this time, take it easy.”

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you say that? It's like I'm fighting over an errand with the servant. But this time the old ladies and wives are rushing to explain that they have to prepare everything as soon as possible so that they can be at ease. Naturally, I have to urge Reminder, if a person can’t do this job, even if he has done it for 100 years, he still can’t do it on this day. There must be someone who can do it. It’s not even a prince or minister. An official will be able to do it for a lifetime."

Jia Lian heard her like this, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it's nothing to do with me. I just remind you." Sister Feng glanced at him and said, "This has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you." It's not just this or that that has something to do with it?" Jia Lian hurriedly waved his hands, snatched the door away while laughing.At this time, Sister Feng was not in the mood to settle the accounts with him, and after a few days, there was still no confirmation from Lai Da, so Sister Feng went back to Mrs. Wang, and when she got it, she found someone to make arrangements for herself.

Zhang Cai's family said back and forth that day that they had found a seller, who opened a large coal mine in Yulin, on the side of Shuangmen.Now it is not the peak season for coal sales, and in previous years, it would not start to sell until after the beginning of winter. In the whole area of ​​Xishan, it can take a hundred cars to enter the city in a day.This year he has settled down a bit, and is waiting for the time to make a fortune. How could he have thought that private coal kilns would be banned from the government. It was supposed to be some kind of filial piety in the next year, but he didn't know that this time it would be worthless if he gave money.

Several of his brothers who were in the same industry were ordered to close down, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry directly sealed the kiln, saying that if they dare to commit crimes again, they will be punished severely.His land is more remote, and he might not be able to last long, so he is anxious to find a buyer.One is not yet the time, and the other middle coal brokers see that he is so low in price, they hate him so much that he can't do it, but they can't.

Sister Feng asked, "How much coal does he have to sell?" Zhang Cai's family replied, "I don't know that. It is said that a large kiln can produce several thousand catties a day." I asked him exactly how much he had, and if I asked for everything, what price would he give. It would be best if I could get back to you today." Hearing this, Zhang Cai's family hurried to find someone to talk to the coal boss.

After a while, there were three 10,000+ catties of high-quality coal, and Sister Feng wanted them immediately, and paid him a total of 300 taels of silver.The coal boss never expected that the coal would be so easy to get out. Although the price was reduced a lot, it was much better than what he had planned.He specially left his own business name post for Zhang Cai, and said that he would like to deal with Zhang Cai again if he changed his business in the future.This is gossip, so I won't mention it.

In less than ten days, the charcoal from Zhuangzi also arrived in the capital. Silver frost charcoal, black ash charcoal, and low-grade charcoal were all listed.The [-] jin of Xishan coal purchased by Zhang Cai and others were also put into the warehouse.When Sister Feng got the detailed account and general account, she reported it to Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu. Jia Mu said, "you are quick at hand. You even bought the coal lumps together. It's hard to find someone for you now."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "When my sister-in-law said that, although I comforted her with my mouth, I was actually trembling in my heart. Not to mention, if the white hair wind blows for a few more days, I'm afraid my ancestors will order some of my food." Clothes to keep warm. If you don’t rush to buy everything you can find, there is an advantage, it’s [-]% cheaper than in previous years, and the things are also good.”

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "No one else is rushing to buy these at the moment, but you can't help choosing." When Jia Mu heard this, she also nodded and said, "Although you don't have much money, it's your heart for managing your family." Mrs. Wang He also said: "She is young, her brain changes quickly, and she does things in a hurry, but she doesn't care."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "This is working for you. You dislike her!" Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Because the old lady praised her, I have to be picky, so that she won't be too complacent." Mrs. Wang was so funny, she laughed and said: "You are smart now! She works hard, so don't praise her, and save the reward, isn't it very beneficial."

After hearing this, Sister Feng knew that the matter of the coal was over, so she joked, "It's strange that I listened to my ancestors today, and I was very happy in my heart, but I felt chilly in my waist." When everyone laughed, she again Said, "Now the charcoal is sent first, and the ones used for the new year are from several villages nearby, but there is no way to Baishuizhuang in Heishan Village, so we have to wait until the twelfth lunar month to arrive, but they are big heads." Jia Mu nodded and said : "There are old people in the village to take care of the arrangements, and the village households will look at the sky. Besides, it is so far away, even if you are in a hurry." Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
