When I was a child, during the Chinese New Year, every time relatives came to the house, there would always be a hurdle of New Year's money.
The children wanted to refuse but also wanted to put the bright red bills into their bags, but also felt that accepting them directly would leave a bad impression. The adults held the red envelopes and stuffed them into the children's arms persistently. Ever since.
The two sides are going back and forth, just like doing Tai Chi, and it is a joy to push back and forth.
Zheng Qing felt that now he seemed to have found the feeling of childhood again.
Granny Crystal's gift was a bit tricky. The young wizards looked at the beautiful crystal ball and wanted it but didn't dare to ask for it. Granny Crystal insisted on giving this gift and ignored the wooden box handed over by the public-funded student.
I asked, as if I hadn’t seen him before.
Just like that, Zheng Qing held the small wooden box in the air, unable to move forward or retreat, with an awkward smile on his face.
The old Taoist Mu Mingzi spoke at the right time.
"Since I've given it to you, just keep it with peace of mind." Although Mu Laodao's expression was rigid, his mind was very flexible, and he easily guessed the worries of the young wizards: "Don't feel that you are taking advantage. For fortune tellers,
, they always take advantage of others, no one else takes advantage of them..."
That’s the truth!
That’s why I dare not accept this crystal ball!
Zheng Qing roared in his heart. He still knew how many kilograms he had. With his credits and some scraps on his body, it was already his limit to be able to collect a hundred jade coins. But now, someone else would throw a third of it at him.
's net worth.
No one will feel at ease if I give it to anyone.
"Speaking of which, a crystal ball worth dozens of jade coins, even if you take advantage of it, where can you take advantage of it?... Granny Crystal is very rich. There are such crystal balls everywhere in her shop. I will give you one as a gift.
In fact, it's not that serious." Mu Mingzi continued to talk - although this analysis is a bit blunt, it sounds like it.
Unlike Mu Laodao, who was thinking in vain, Crystal Granny had not said a word since she gave away the small wooden box, and started staring blankly at the crystal ball floating in front of her again.
Several wizards looked at each other in confusion, and after communicating with their eyes for a moment, they finally accepted this first somewhat tricky gift.
"Great tea!" The fat man turned around and shouted to the elves, then smiled with him and began to guide Granny Crystal to visit D&K's internal layout and various products.
Mu Mingzi was a step behind.
He followed Zheng Qing and walked at the back of the team. When he reached the door of the store and before he crossed the threshold, the old man glanced at the bare walls on both sides of the store door, with a bit of a smile in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay. I know you guys have little experience." The old Taoist smiled and fumbled in his arms for a moment, then spread his palm and placed it in front of the young public-funded student: "Hang it up! Made of century-old peach wood, it's absolutely
A good thing to keep the house in check and ward off evil spirits!”
In the palm of his hand were two slender wooden strips, with small holes drilled at the top and red ropes threaded through them.
The old Taoist held the red rope and shook it. The two wooden sticks rose in the wind and turned into a six-inch long and three-inch wide talisman board in an instant. The names of 'Shen Tu' and 'Yu Lei' were written on it.
It looks similar to the hanging statue of the door god, but there are no images of the two gods.
Zheng Qing knew that these were the talismans that traditional wizards hung on both sides of the doorway outside the house, and they were also the most primitive form of peach charms. When the Forgiveness Hunting Team was decorating the store, they had discussed whether to hang such a pair at the entrance of the store, but
Due to the tight budget, after several discussions, the idea was finally abandoned.
At this moment, seeing the gift from the second guest, it would be too hypocritical for Zheng Qing to continue to pretend to be calm.
"Yeah, it really costs you money!" The young public-funded student happily took the red string from the old man's hand, walked a few steps, and hurriedly planned to hang the peach charm on it before the time was up.
Mu Mingzi's lips twitched as he looked at the wizard's neat actions.
"Why don't you give way?" he asked in a very surprised tone.
"If we push back, will you take it back?" Dr. Xiao Da, standing on the other side of him, asked with a serious face.
The old Taoist had a dull face, pondered for a moment, and shook his head: "Since it has been sent out, there is no reason to take it back..."
"So, why waste time?" Dr. Xiao Da adjusted his glasses and concluded: "Judging from the knowledge we have learned during our time in school, for wizards, there is no wealth more precious than time.
"
While talking, Zheng Qing had already hung two peach charms on both sides of the door.
Then he took a few steps back, moved further away, covered one eye and looked at it: "Do you think it's hanging crookedly? I can't see clearly..."
"Just take off your glasses if you can't see clearly. The sun isn't very bright. Why should a boy wear sunglasses?" A familiar female voice suddenly came from behind Zheng Qing, startling the young public-funded student.
Looking back, I realized that we were indeed acquaintances, and there were two of them.
Zhang Huaigu, who teaches the talisman class, and Sima Yangyun, who teaches history. The person who spoke was none other than Mr. Sima.
Zheng Qing's eyes lingered on the two young female teachers for half a second.
Then he turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dr. Xiao Da! The family members are here, come and receive them quickly!"
After shouting this voice, the smile on Sima Yang Yun's face quickly faded, and her originally fair face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. If the angle was right, Zheng Qing could still see the steam rising from her head.
Teacher Zhang next to me was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand upright.
Xiao Xiao hurriedly ran over from Mu Laodao, pushed the young public-funded student away, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of here!"
Zheng Qing pretended to stagger and ran away with a smile.
Teacher Zhang seemed to want to escape as well, but was held tightly by his female companion, unable to escape.
"You said that in such a small place, three people walking side by side would be too crowded... Can't you let me go out and get some fresh air?" Teacher Zhang's tone revealed a bit of helplessness.
"Yes, you said you were interested in this new store. Why are you running?" Mr. Sima's stammering explanation sounded particularly interesting.
Zheng Qing laughed secretly in his heart and ran to Mu Mingzi's side again.
Then he remembered a little thing.
"When we first looked at the store, you said that the business of several nearby stores was not good... I can understand why Wandering Bar didn't move, but why didn't you and Granny Crystal move?" Zheng Qing looked at the old Taoist priest inquiringly.
Mu Mingzi glanced at him silently: "Move? Why move? Where to move? We are different from you... We are the owners of these shops. If we stay here and open a shop, we can still look at some wealth, and we won't let anyone lose money.
Those homeless people in the North District went to live in the dark and smashed windows."
"For us, if we have business, we will make money, and if we don't have business, we won't lose anything."
