With the money in their pockets, Tian Minyan and Tian Minrui headed straight to West Street. After noon, there were far fewer people on the street, but there were still vendors selling business on the street, and some setting up desks to write letters.
At the east end of West Street, a thin bamboo was inserted diagonally into the hole made in a table. A long piece of white cloth hung on the bamboo, with the words "Ping Ban Xian" written on it. One was wearing a wide robe and had a long chin.
The old man with a beard crossed his legs and from time to time called people passing by to read their palms and tell their fortunes.
"Nanny, this half-immortal is not accurate. I'm afraid grandpa won't believe it." Tian Minrui frowned.
Tian Minyan looked at the Ping Banxian stroking his chin beard. The more he looked at it, the less he felt that he was immortal. People said he didn't look like a prince when he wore a dragon robe, but he didn't look like an immortal when he wore a Taoist robe.
"Is it possible that we go to the temple to beg?" Tian Minyan curled her lips and said helplessly: "If the monks don't lie, then those masters and monks will cooperate with us in this play? Moreover, this half-immortal occasionally bumps into two people.
It’s a good thing.”
She just wanted to find a Taoist fortune teller to perform a double act with them. She only needed to tell the big house that their third house and the big house were in conflict with each other. The big house was having trouble with his official career. The Taoist said this.
, are you still not in a hurry? If Tian Huairen takes the opportunity to bring up the idea of dividing the family again, the eldest son will definitely use this conflict to persuade the old man to separate the family, and the old man who is most nervous about the eldest son will also take advantage of the situation.
In fact, even if she didn't bribe the Taoist priests, the elder family would be happy to see the family split. They wished that only one of them could become an official and enjoy the so-called wealth.
It's just that Mr. Tian's stubbornness and good face won't allow him to split up the family indirectly here, so even if she doesn't want to give up, she will have to spend a few dollars.
"What should we do?" Tian Minrui was a little frustrated.
"Let's give it a try." Tian Minyan pursed her lips, made up her mind and walked over.
When he came to the stall, Ping Banxian took a fan and drew a semicircle. He squinted at Tian Minyan and said, "Girl, I see that your hall is dark and your eyes are dull. You must have suffered something bad recently."
, there will be a bloody disaster soon..."
Bah, bah, bah! Tian Minyan spit on the ground three times, scolding you secretly with a dark face, and your whole family is going black.
She sat down, and the half-immortal across from her suddenly smiled brightly and said, "It's your blessing to see me, the half-immortal, today..."
"Half Immortal, how much money does it cost to look after a house?" Tian Minyan was impatient to listen to his lyrics and quickly interrupted him.
Ping Banxian was stunned, and drew a round fan in the air: "Huh?"
Tian Minyan rolled her eyes and said: "Half Immortal, please go to Yangmei Village to see the house. How much money will it cost?"
When Ping Banxian came to his senses, he turned his little eyes and said, "It takes a lot of walking, but it takes this amount." He raised two fingers.
"Two dollars?" Tian Minyan smiled.
Ping Banxian twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
"Twenty?"
Ping Banxian's face darkened and his veins protruded.
"It can't be two hundred, right? It's too expensive." Tian Minyan pretended to be distressed.
"Little girl, it's not twenty or two hundred, it's two taels." Ping Banxian couldn't help it and suddenly spoke out.
Tian Minyan snorted coldly in her heart, "Two liang, you might as well grab it, bullying a kid who doesn't understand the market!"
"Ping Banxian usually looks at his palms and writes two talismans, which is only twenty talisman, right?" Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows and sneered: "When did Banxian become famous enough to look at a house and pay twenty taels of silver?"
After hearing this, Ping Banxian's old face turned slightly red. He thought that Tian Minyan and Tian Minyan were just children and not well-dressed, but he didn't take it lightly. He only offered a high price to coax him, thinking that he could get it, but he couldn't get the power.
Amused the children.
But he didn't expect that this girl actually knew how much he paid for fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and she even revealed it to his face.
Thinking of this, Ping Banxian said with a dark face: "Is this girl here to cause trouble?"
Tian Minyan laughed and said: "Half-immortal old man, I can sit here, so naturally I want to give you business."
Seeing Ping Banxian's suspicious look, he added, "I really want to invite you to see my house."
When Ping Banxian heard this, the black air on his face faded a lot, and he said proudly: "I, Ping Banxian, live within a hundred miles of this area, and I am an accurate fortune teller. I am also an excellent judge of people's affairs in houses. Two taels of silver can be said to be an advantage for you."
"
"It seems that Ping Banxian doesn't want to do my business." Tian Minyan sneered and stood up.
When Ping Banxian saw the two children about to leave, he quickly called out: "Hey, hey, don't go, come back, come back."
Tian Minyan turned around and didn't turn around, just looked at him indifferently.
Ping Banxian looked at the girl's pair of dark eyes that seemed to suck people in. He thought that the little girl was very shrewd. He coughed and said, "The price is negotiable. Come back and talk about it."
Tian Minyan walked back and sat down, and said, "For a hundred big bucks, I don't need you to see anything. Just come to my house and do what I told you and say it in front of my family."
Ping Banxian was startled again, and soon understood, I am afraid this girl is up to something, tsk tsk, she doesn’t look bad, so why is she so evil?
"Girl, I won't do anything like that if a bad person gets married and loses his conscience, otherwise he will lose his life." Ping Banxian said, stroking his beard.
Tian Minyan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. She was afraid that this half-immortal would regard her as a bad girl with a heartless heart. She couldn't help but joked: "What if I give you two taels of silver?"
Ping Banxian fanned his fan for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "This doesn't cost anyone's life, so it doesn't matter."
Tian Minyan sneered lightly. Seeing his embarrassment, she didn't waste any time and said, "I don't want anyone's life, nor do I want to ruin someone's marriage. As long as you have a chance, I'll pay you a hundred dollars."
"Yangmei Village is really not far away. One hundred dollars won't help. You can go back." Ping Banxian waved his fan.
"Think about it, you don't need to be really talented, as long as you show off according to what I teach you, you will make money in vain." Tian Minyan followed the instructions.
Ping Banxian was a little moved. Thinking about it, one hundred dollars was still too little. He shook his head and said: "It's less, it's less."
Seeing him like that, Tian Minyan said cruelly: "Two hundred is enough for you to buy some good meat and wine."
"three hundred."
"Two hundred, even one more is not enough. You don't want me to invite others."
Ping Banxian hesitated for a while, squinted his eyes and made some calculations, then asked: "Tell me first, what is it?"
Tian Minyan then leaned over, said something like this, and finally looked at him: "Can I make it?"
After listening to the whole story, Ping Banxian suddenly said: "This little girl has a lot of tricks up her sleeves. It's okay. I'll try it tomorrow."
Tian Minyan was overjoyed, and in order to increase Ping Banxian's credibility tomorrow, she briefly explained to him a few things that were not going well at home, and finally said: "Ping Banxian, I gave you two hundred dollars, but you earned it for nothing.
, shouldn’t you talk about this matter in the future?”
Ping Banxian slapped the table and said sternly: "Although I am not an immortal Taoist, I am a half-Taoist. Since I agree with you, how can I talk nonsense?"
Tian Minyan wanted to say something, but she thought that even if he said it out in the future, it would not matter. After all, she did not want to kill people or set fire, but she was just trying to use some tricks to scare the old man and achieve the purpose of breaking up the family.
With this thought, she made a plan with Ping Banxian, agreed on a time, and explained the direction of the Tian family, and then she and Tian Minrui went to his home.
