After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 3

He raised his head and looked up, the first thing he saw was a section of arm that was still blindingly white in the sunlight, like a piece of jade.With just one glance, one can imagine that this must be a person raised by gold and jade.

Going up, you can get a glimpse of the whole picture.

The young man's skin was as white as snow, and the tails of his eyes were long and narrow, evoking a sense of freehand style. His supposedly gorgeous face fell on him, and it only reminded people of youthful spirit.With one arm leaning on the window sill, holding his chin, he was looking downstairs with a smile, and looked towards him.

"Did you hear that? That jade is mine. Can you send it to me? I will thank you."

What the boy said was very natural, as if no one could refuse his request.If it was on a normal day, he would definitely ignore it, but...

Oddly enough, he nodded.

"Thank you!" A brisk voice floated out of the window, like the sound of jade and stone colliding.

He shook his head, feeling that he had not made this decision soberly.Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, it feels warm to the touch, without a trace of variegation, and the texture is excellent. The word "Xie" in seal script is engraved on the jade pendant.

There are quite a few people with the surname Xie in the capital, and he couldn't think of which "Xie" it was for a moment, so he calmed down his doubts for the time being, pulled his straw hat, and walked into the Xianxian Tower.

Seeing that Yupei was lucky to be fine, the dudes upstairs felt like they had escaped a catastrophe.

That jade pendant was a token of Duke Wei's mansion, one of the symbols of Xie Tangru's identity, if it was gone, Xie Tangru would have to kill them.

"Why are you still standing there stupidly?" Xie Tangru tapped on the table with his fingers, almost unable to bear with his few hurt friends. "Wait for others to see the monkey?"

Since this is the only way to sit down.

The young man in Tsing Yi and Jin Pao who was the leader, Li Mengshu, the only son of Lord Ming Le, apologized cautiously: "That...Ah Ru, we didn't mean it just now."

A bunch of people nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, it was really not intentional."

Xie Tangru twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Do you think if it's intentional, I can still let you sit here?"

A group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man in gray patted his chest, and took out a large handful of banknotes, "When the person who picked up your jade pendant comes up, don't you want to thank him? I'll thank him for you!"

He is the youngest child of the Xinjun Wang family, and also Li Mengshu's cousin, Shang Qinghuai.He is also the richest of the bunch.

Others stared straight at the big handful of silver bills.

"Yes, yes, this thank you is very important. The other party will definitely like it."

Xie Tangru: "..."

He said, "We'll talk about it when someone comes."

Everyone: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you."

Xie Tangru: "..."

"Hey. Here we come." Li Mengshu pointed forward, and saw the man in shorts and straw hat walking in front of them.

The brim of the man's hat was pulled down extremely low, and his head was lowered, only his chin could be seen.Of course, the complexion couldn't compare with this group of pampered, fair-skinned and tender-skinned young men, and even the hand that passed the jade pendant was calloused.

Li Mengshu: "Be careful, this jade pendant is very precious."

The man turned a deaf ear, spread the jade pendant casually in his palm, waiting for Xie Tangru to take it.

Xie Tangru sized him up without any trace, and doubts arose in his heart.I always feel that this person is not like an ordinary traveler or farmer, but more like a member of the army.

He took the jade pendant from the opponent's hand, and gently slid his fingertips across the opponent's fingertips.

Sure enough, these cocoons did not seem to be produced by doing farm work, but more like they were produced by using a knife or a sword.

What is this person's identity?Why did he appear in Kyoto in disguise in such an eventful autumn?

Could it be someone's spy?

After turning his thoughts quietly for a few weeks, Xie Tang looked as usual, holding the lost and recovered jade pendant with great joy: "This jade pendant is very important to me, thank you so much."

After a pause, Xie Tangru said again: "I will thank you with a generous gift."

Shang Qinghuai hurriedly handed out a handful of bank notes.

Only then did the man raise his head, and said in a low voice, "No need. It's just a matter of little effort."

Just now... I don't know if it was his illusion, the little boy hooked his finger on his palm.

It made him feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Xie Tangru's eyes darkened slightly, and said: "Since Xiongtai doesn't like these yellow and white things, I will not forcefully accept them. I just want to thank you. If Xiongtai encounters any difficulties in the future, just come to Duke Wei's mansion to find me. "

"Are you from Duke Wei's mansion?"

The man was a little surprised.

The mansion of the Duke of Wei was one of the founding heroes. It has been inherited from generation to generation. The previous generations showed signs of decline. Until this generation of Duke Wei was born, he commanded 20 soldiers and horses, repelled the barbarians in the south, and was deeply favored by the emperor.It's a pity that he has become famous in Beijing in recent years because he is obsessed with the way of cultivating immortals, saying every day that he has been taught by immortals, and he is no longer the same as before.It is very embarrassing.

However, Wei Guogong was brave in the first half of his life, and his only son, Wei Guogong's son, was an out-and-out dude. A few years ago, when he was appointed as a first-class prodigy by the court because of his extraordinary appearance, there was a lot of trouble in Beijing. turmoil.

All in all, both father and son are quite famous.

The person in front of him said that he was from Duke Wei's mansion, so he must be the son of Duke Wei.

The man raised his eyes and quickly sized him up, then lowered his expression calmly.

The rumors are true, but the appearance is indeed rare in the world.The color is like spring flowers, bright as Danxia.

Li Mengshu saw that his brother didn't speak and stood there in embarrassment, so he said, "Yes, yes, this is Wei Guogong's son. If you have any troubles in the future and ask him for help, Brother Xie will definitely not refuse .It's the same if you come to us."

As soon as he said that, a bunch of people behind him rushed to report their home.

"When you help Ah Ru, you help us. If you need anything, just come to us." One person promised, patted his chest.

"..." Xie Tangru tapped his forehead lightly, do these fools know who the other party is?Dare to make such a promise?

"Okay." He stopped these people, and then said to the front of him, "If you have anything to do, you can come to Wei Guogong's mansion to find me."

The man was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Unexpectedly, although it was rumored that the son of Wei Guogong was not good at writing, he was very popular and had a lot of friends.From the princes and nobles to the sons of merchants, they all have friendship with him.

"If the son has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."

Xie Tangru didn't stop, "You go."

After the people left, a group of young masters became active again.

"Just now when Ah Ru's jade pendant fell out, I was scared to death."

"Yeah, yeah. I almost thought Ah Ru was going to kill us all today."

…………

Hearing these words, Xie Tangru smiled, but tightened his grip on the wine glass, and whispered to the dark place: "Find someone to follow that person just now."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes lightly: "You guys have the nerve to mention it."

Li Mengshu touched his nose embarrassingly: "I accidentally bumped into it just now. Why don't you let me invite you for today's meal."

"Okay." Xie Tangru glanced at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "Xiaoer, I'll give you a portion of every dish here."

Li Mengshu: "...This, this is too much. Can we finish eating?"

"If you can't finish eating, take it home and give it to the old man." Xie Tangru said.

Shang Qinghuai said weakly: "Let Wei Guogong eat what we have left, isn't it good?"

The others also nodded in agreement, Wei Guogong is an elder after all.

"Anyway, the old man doesn't know." The unfilial son Xie Tangru raised his eyelids, "It's really impossible to ask Taoist priests to make elixir, and he can't wait to eat thousands of pills."

Wei Guogong lived in the army for the first half of his life, and he was not so meticulous about eating.I can eat anything.Besides, he didn't really intend to let the old man eat the rest.

A few people took it for granted.

"..." It turns out that these things can also be refined into elixir.

They were still a little hesitant, "...not so good."

The corners of Xie Tangru's lips twitched lightly: "Since you are so respectful to the elderly, I can only ask you to eat more and not leave any leftovers."

"Then let's eat more." Li Mengshu said, so many of them eat a few dishes, can't they finish it?

As a result, Li Mengshu's fan was about to fall when the dishes were served on three tables.

...This is too much.

Several people want to cry but have no tears.

Xie Tangru still greeted them with a smile: "Eat more, don't waste it."

Shang Qinghuai swallowed a large piece of fatty meat with tears in his eyes, and said to Xie Tangru vaguely: "Ah Ru, you should remind uncle to eat less elixir. The things refined by Taoist priests... The late emperor was..." It is a taboo not to mention ambiguity later on.

Xie Tangru handed him a glass of rice wine, "I have a measure of this matter."

"That's good...Ah Ru, can I stop eating?"

Xie Tangru smiled slightly, and put another piece of shiny braised pork into his bowl.

Shang Qinghuai: "..." Woohoo.

Several people were in a trance after eating a meal, and one of them said: "...I don't want to come to Yanxian Tower in my next life."

Shang Qinghuai rubbed his belly and said tearfully, "Me too."

Xie Tangru ordered people to find a food box for the leftover dishes, and said: "These few dishes that have been touched will be distributed to the beggars downstairs, and a few bowls of hot porridge will be given to them, and they will be recorded together." On the account of Mr. Li."

Li Mengshu, who was caught off guard by being named: "...??"

But he didn't dare to say another word at all, for fear that Xie Tangru would tell him to finish the rest.

After a while, Xie Tangru came over with a food box.

"Don't act so recklessly next time. This time it's me, if it's someone else—you'll suffer." He sneered slightly, and when he saw him drinking, he thought he was going to commit suicide by drinking poison. This group of people really thought, "Emperor Daxing passed away recently, and Beijing is in troubled times. You should also be careful not to let anyone catch you."

A group of people nodded immediately.

They also know that the princes are fighting fiercely.There is a family behind them, so naturally they cannot act rashly.

Shang Qinghuai even promised: "From tomorrow onwards, I will study hard at home. I will never go out to hang out again."

Xie Tangru sneered: "Have you finished copying the thousand copybooks that your father punished you for copying last time? Half a month has passed."

Shang Qinghuai bowed his head: "...No."

If he works so hard, can he still be called a dude?Isn't it normal that you can't finish copying?

A group of people said a few more words, and they all went back home.Xie Tangru also walked slowly towards Duke Wei's mansion with the food box in hand.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the mansion, he saw his father sitting cross-legged in the courtyard with his eyes closed.Xie Tangru frowned, and asked the boy next to him, "What is this for?"

The servant replied respectfully: "The Lord is accumulating spirit and energy, letting the clear air between heaven and earth flow through the internal organs and purify the body."

Xie Tangru was surprised: "Could it be that my Duke Wei's mansion has fallen to this point, and there is no water to bathe the dignified Duke?"

"..." Wei Guogong, who was feeling the fresh air between heaven and earth, had twitching veins on his forehead.

"You bastard, get the hell out of here."
