The more you wear your sister

Chapter 31

Chu Feng smiled wryly and shook his head: "The big courtyard in Luoyang is not cheap."

"How much money do I have left?" For the first time since crossing, I was concerned about my financial situation.

"Let's think about it..." On these things, Chu Feng, the guard, knows better than myself, "The money that King Ning gave you before was more than 2000 taels, and those antique calligraphy and paintings are almost the same. This amount, but you have already returned all of it. You donated the remaining 200 taels to the disaster victims, and the remaining money in the government is only enough to maintain the basic life."

"So miserable?" I was wrong, and I will never treat money like dung with the thought of "I can't bring it back anyway".

"You, it's been less than a year, and you've made up your mind to leave, and you don't have any plans for the days ahead." Chu Feng said helplessly, "If you really want to, go and talk to Ning. Let me tell you, Wang, with the importance he attaches to you, as long as you don’t overdo it, he won’t refuse even if you ask for three to five thousand taels.”

"I've already returned it, so why go to ask him for it." I slapped the table proudly, "Zi said there is a way to make money. If you want money, don't I know how to make it myself?"

"I've never lived like this." Chu Feng unceremoniously exposed me, "How do you want to make money?"

"Business." I said confidently.

"...you know how to do business?" Chu Feng looked at me suspiciously.

Just kidding, don't even think about whose son I am.My mother is not only a business genius, but at least she can be considered a business genius. When her husband is gone, my father is sick, my son has just started kindergarten, and she still owes a lot of debts, she started from a small clothes shop facing the street. It started as a store, and more than ten years later, Lengshi expanded its scale into a clothing hypermarket with two floors of shops covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters in the city center.

I won’t talk about the immersion I’ve had since I was a child, even if it’s just about genetics, it won’t be that bad.

And now with such favorable innate conditions, if you really want to make money, it's not easy.

"But what are you going to sell?"

"Selling talismans." I said, "a piece of yellow paper, a bowl of cinnabar, with this kind of cost that is almost negligible, and the huge reputation that King Ning specially created for me, you can make a good deal with no cost and no profit." You just need to find a Taoist priest and teach me how to draw amulets, or just let the Taoist priest draw it directly, and sell it under my name."

"Then... isn't it a scam?" Chu Feng looked at me suspiciously, he was very clear about my real ability under my fame.

"How could it be? What I sell is psychological comfort and good expectations. It is spiritual positive energy. I will not claim to be able to cure all diseases and delay other people's treatment, nor will I claim that King Kong is not bad. Hit the sword."

I quickly determined my product positioning, just like Ping An buckle, lucky cat and other things, no one would think that buying a Ping An buckle can single out a big truck, and no one will put a lucky cat I feel that I can keep making money without opening a business or purchasing goods. In fact, it is just a psychological comfort.

In the modern age where few people believe in ghosts and gods, some people love to buy these things, let alone ancient times.

Chu Feng nodded: "The idea is good, but have you ever thought about how King Ning will view this matter?"

"Uh, what about this..." I remembered that Chu Feng had reminded me that I had to act like I was very dependent on King Ning, and firmly hugged King Ning's thigh, and my current behavior was simply to follow him. Cut off the rhythm of self-reliance.

I don’t use the beauties who gave me, sent me guards and I recruited another group, and returned the money and things that were sent to me. If you want to buy a house, you would rather make money yourself. Isn’t this a slap in the face?

"I remembered. It seems that I have heard someone say that every year the raw materials of jade tributed in the northwest are handed over to King Ning for selection. I will ask him for a few rough stones."

"Why do you want jade?"

"In other people's hands, it's just rough jade, but in my hands, it's no ordinary jade. As long as you find a skilled craftsman to carve it carefully, and add a mysterious saying, it will be reborn immediately. , become an exorcism holy weapon full of the spiritual power of a celestial master, or even a family heirloom."

Compared with light and fluffy paper, jade is of course better for money. I seem to have seen myself rolling happily in the countless gold and silver mountains.

Just do what you say, and I will go to King Ning to ask for the rough stone that afternoon.

"I said before, I can give you whatever you want, just a few pieces of jade." Yang Jue said calmly while drinking tea, "It's just that the best jade materials of this year have been sent to the palace. The rest are just mediocre goods, what are you going to do?"

I don't care about this at all, anyway, what I sell is not the jade itself: "I need some jade with aura to make magical instruments. Jade with poor quality may not have a bad aura."

King Ning looked at me silently for a few seconds, and then said: "Since you don't dislike fineness, I will send someone to bring over the remaining jade materials tomorrow, and you can choose whatever you want."

"You are so thoughtful!" I flattered graciously.

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me." He said with an air of "who is going to fight with whom?" "My king has been busy with affairs recently, but I haven't played chess with you for a long time. It's rare that you came to see me today. Why don't you accompany me?" How about I kill two sets?"

"I will accompany you to the end!"

For the sake of being short-staffed, I patiently played two games of Go with him and had dinner with him. It was late at night before I left Prince Ning's Mansion.

Chu Feng was still waiting for me at the concierge. As soon as I met him, I complained to him: "Why wait until now, you are afraid that I will get lost and won't be able to go back after only a few steps."

"That's not going to be..." Chu Feng smiled and didn't explain. He reached out to take the lantern handed to him by the guard of Prince Ning's Mansion. After leaving the gate, he kept holding my hand as if I would really get lost. .

His palms were very warm, and his fingers had some calluses from years of martial arts practice. My heart moved, and I deliberately lagged one step behind him, letting him pull me away.

"What's wrong?" Chu Feng asked me.

I smiled and shook my head without answering.

I remember when I was in junior high school, the school inhumanely forced me to go to school for evening self-study. Every night when I came home from school at ten o’clock, I had to go through a section of road with no street lights or pedestrians, and there was an abandoned road next to it. crematorium.

Although I am a boy, theoretically I should be bolder than a girl, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, I still cannot help thinking wildly. Every time I pass that section of the road, I am very scared, and I always feel that ghosts will run out of the shadows at any time.

My mother was too busy to come pick me up, so she could only comfort me by telling me not to be afraid. In fact, my father has always been by my side, and ghosts and ghosts dare not come to me.

So I kept imagining a tall figure in a green military uniform, walking in front of me, protecting me from those evil spirits and preventing them from approaching me.

Just like the feeling now.

Half a month later, the first "magic weapon" finished by a certain jade carving master was completed by me with a knife design. I asked Zhang Guan to contact those who have been sending invitations to my house to give gifts, and tried every means to win over me. Choose the richest among them, and treat them to dinner.

They came here happily, because I used to wear a mask when I went out as a holy envoy or a celestial master. Daogu", "face like a crown jade", and "outstanding", I accepted their compliments disrespectfully on the surface, but I muttered in my heart, those who dare to be so rich in this era are all smart people, don't If the money is decent, if you give it away so generously for free, don't be stingy to me when you have to pay later.

When everyone had finished eating and the guests and hosts were having a good time, I revealed my real purpose: "Actually, I came to you this time because I want to get acquainted with all the famous people in Luoyang City."

This sentence was exchanged for a "dare not to be".

"Secondly, I have a treasure that I want to sell to all of you here." I clapped my hands like I did in a TV show, and the ancient beauty Honglian, who was all dressed up, held out a beautifully crafted brocade box. He opened the brocade box without hesitation, revealing a silk base, a mahogany base, and a jade carving the size of a palm.

"This is..." The local tyrants came forward to take a closer look.

I admit that jade itself is not unusual, nor is jade carving, what is unusual is the shape - it is a Möbius ring.

That's right, it is the legendary ring with only the front and no back.What makes up this Möbius ring is not a flat belt, but a groove formed on both sides, with a cross-section in the shape of an "I". There is also a movable jade ball stuck in the groove, which can be moved along this The runway, which has no heads and tails, rotates infinitely, and the runway is also engraved with magical runes that I improvised that I have seen in comics and games.

It is indeed a national treasure-level jade carving master who spent a lot of money to hire, perfectly restored my creativity, and deeply shocked this group of ancient people.
