140: Sister, no need to demonstrate
This is what Nanli asked.
Nan Li took the pen from Zhi Mi's hand, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw: "Look at it, first like this, then like this..."
While talking, half of the talisman has been drawn.
The pen was particularly obedient in Nan Li's hand, never stagnating at all.
"Look, it's done!" Nan Li finished drawing a talisman, and it only took a moment.
Zhimi's lips twitched. Compared with his senior sister, he was always hit hard. He also understood that people are also different.
As soon as the pen came into his hand, he became disobedient.
Zhimi sighed: "Sister, you don't need to demonstrate, it will hit me even more."
Nan Li was a little helpless. No matter in her past life or in this life, she always felt like she had divine help in drawing the talisman. She learned it in a moment and drew it in no time.
At this time, Yuanchun came over: "Miss, someone is coming from Madam's family, please go over and meet her."
Nan Li nodded, "Okay."
She asked Chimi to practice well and then went to the main hall.
The Shen family was born in the large and prosperous Shen family in Huainan. The one who came today is the Shen family's concubine cousin.
Her name is Shen Xiang, and she was married to Kyoto. Her husband is the head of the Criminal Department, a fifth-rank official.
When they arrived at the main hall, Nan Li discovered that Shen Xiang had come with his son Yan Ling.
She bowed in obedience and looked calm.
Shen Xiang smiled brightly and said, "I haven't seen Liu Yatou for a few days, and she looks a lot more lively. But why are you still dressed so plainly?"
She waved and asked her maid to bring a box to her.
There are many pearls and hairpin jewelry displayed inside.
Not considered expensive.
But it should be regarded as the thing that Shen Xiang can best use.
"These are all carefully selected by me. Don't dislike them, Sixth Girl." Shen Xiang said.
"Cousin, you don't have to be polite." Shen quickly refused.
"Aunt, thank you very much for your thoughtfulness, but I have never been fond of luxury, so I will not accept this gift," Nan Li said.
Shen Xiang said: "Sixth girl, you are already engaged to the Ninth Prince, how can you still dress up so plainly? Accept it quickly, this is my intention."
A strange color flashed across Yan Ling's eyes, and he said, "Sister Nanli, don't you think the jewelry my mother gave you is not luxurious enough?"
Nan Li smiled softly: "Maybe my aunt gave me some bamboo hairpins and wooden hairpins, and I might just accept them. Although my aunt gave me gifts without asking about what I like, but as a relative, you might as well say it directly,
What brings you here today?"
It’s not that this cousin has never visited her before, but she didn’t prepare a gift when they met for the first time, but she specially prepared it this time.
It wasn't like Nan Li didn't understand the ways of the world, so she immediately guessed that they were here for her.
She has other things to be busy with and doesn't have time to go around in circles here.
When Mrs. Shen heard Yan Ling speak so rudely, her face darkened and she said, "Cousin, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Shen Xiang and Yan Ling looked at each other.
Yan Ling looked stern and said: "I would like to ask Sister Nanli to draw a few talismans. The money is easy to negotiate. Is it okay?"
Nan Li asked: "What talisman do you want?"
"Charms to drive away ghosts, talismans to drive away evil spirits, and talismans to attract wealth." Yan Ling said hurriedly.
Nan Li's eyes swept over the two people's faces, and he sneered in his heart, "You two have no ghost or evil energy in your body, so you don't need this talisman. As for the fortune talisman, this is a heretical talisman, and I can't draw it.
."
Shen Xiang was a little anxious: "I'm asking for it for your uncle. As you know, he often comes in and out of the Ministry of Punishments, and it's possible that he might be contaminated with dirty things."
"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter whether you draw the fortune talisman or not. You have to draw the ghost talisman and the evil spirit talisman." Yan Ling continued.
Nan Li smiled and said, "Then invite my uncle to come to your door, and I will show him personally what talismans and seals are needed."
Yan Ling got a little angry and shouted: "Chu Nanli! We are all relatives, do you have so many excuses?!"
"No painting." Nan Li's voice suddenly turned cold, and her sharp eyes pierced their faces, "If I guess correctly, you are asking for talismans on behalf of the Duke of Jin, right?"
The two of them looked stiff.
Seeing this, Nan Li didn't bother to look at them.
The prince of the Jin Kingdom was favored by thousands of people and had a cruel and domineering temper. He had come to her shop to buy talismans.
But when she saw it, she said she had no connection with him and refused to draw the talisman and sell it.
There is no other reason. The prince of the Jin Kingdom has many lives on his hands, so he is haunted by ghosts and evil spirits.
However, the ones he killed were all his own slaves who had signed death contracts. It was very common for masters to beat such servants to death. Even reporting to the official was useless, so Ye Siheng had nothing to do with these things.
But Ye Siheng couldn't control it, but she could earn the blood-stained money without any conscience.
Unexpectedly, people from the Duke's Palace of Jin actually found the mother and son.
Yan Ling knew her rules, so he had to soften his voice and said, "Sister Nanli, drawing a few talismans won't waste much time. Why don't you help me?"
"Yes." Shen Xiang wanted to earn a favor from the Duke of Jin so that he could help her husband get promoted in the future. "It will be good for you and the Anyang Marquis Palace to help the eldest son of Duke of Jin."
The Duke of Jin was a veteran of the two dynasties, and now he still had some dignity in front of Emperor Mu Wu.
"I won't help." No matter how much they talked about it, Nan Li could only say two words in the end.
The two of them immediately turned pale.
Shen Xiang said angrily: "Cousin, I came to ask you before to say a few nice words to my husband, but you refused to help. Now I just ask your daughter to draw a few talismans and give me money, but she doesn't want to do that either."
, I’m afraid you mother and daughter don’t think of us as relatives.”
Shen's face was cold, "If my cousin wants to have a cup of tea and eat a cake with me, I will welcome you. But you always force others to do something difficult, which is boring. My daughter's rules are here, no matter what
No one can ask her to change the rules! Cousin, it's getting late, so I won't let you eat."
Shen Xiang blushed in anger.
Unexpectedly, instead of trying to persuade Dian Nanli, Shen would support this stinky girl!
Even if the owner starts to drive people away, they can't stay shamelessly.
Shen Xiang came out of the Anyang Marquis Mansion with a son's anger. As soon as he got on the carriage, he cursed: "Damn stinky girl, I asked her to draw the talisman to give her face, but she is so ignorant!"
Yan Ling vented his anger on his mother, "Mother, you said that you would personally take action to ensure success, but now people don't recognize you as a relative! Do you know that I have already promised the prince, and now you want me
How to explain?"
Shen Xiang was furious, "Chu Nanli is not the only one in the world who can draw talisman. Let's find the Taoist priest of Sanqing Temple and draw ten or eight talismans. It will definitely be no worse than Chu Nanli's."
"Mother, this is a good idea!" Yan Ling was delighted, "They are all yellow talismans, why are they worse than Chu Nanli's."
He had finally won the favor of the Duke of Jin, and he didn't want to let the opportunity go.
The talismans were all the same. If he said it was drawn by Chu Nanli, then it was her. The Duke of Jin would definitely not be able to tell.
