Qian Laoer was stunned for a moment, and then he asked tentatively: "You ask so many questions, just because you want to be the fang yourself?"
Hong Tao counted on her fingers, "I know Feng Shui and can design houses for people; I can also read faces and help tenants find a house that suits them; besides, I can also do valuations and know how to go to the Yamen. How can I do that?"
No more."
Qian Lao Er was speechless and funny, "My child, this Fang Ya is not as simple as you think. Don't think you think Fang Ya needs to be appraised and act as a mediator just because I run around all day to get tenants to come to your door."
, just go to the Yamen for a run?
You underestimate this industry too much. Do you know how long it took me to get to this point? I was led into the industry by my master when I was fifteen years old. I have been working in this industry for thirty-one years now, and I have only been in this industry for the past ten years.
Circle your feet.
Another point is, I have lived for more than forty years, and I have never seen a woman with teeth, let alone one as young as you."
Hong Tao raised her chin, "Then it can only be said that you are short-sighted. How big is the world, how far can you see?! Besides, when I become a fang, won't you see it in your lifetime?"
Qian Laoer didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was quite a cliché.
"My child, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. I've known you for so long. Let me tell you the truth. Putting aside everything else, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in this industry just because of your mouth. You have such a mouth, but
It’s so unforgiving.”
Hong Tao bit her lip, closed her mouth for a while, and then said unconvinced: "These are all afterthoughts. Why bring them up now? Are you born with an all-round ability? Not really."
Qian Lao Er naturally wouldn't argue with a child, so he just smiled and said, "Yes, this is something to talk about later, but if you really want to be a fang, you have to be fifteen.
But you are a girl. When you reach the age of fifteen, you will have to marry each other. From now on, you will be married to your husband and raise your children. How can you put aside these and become a married couple? "
Hong Tao chuckled and thought to herself: My aunt has not been married to a Taoist partner for more than two hundred years, but she wants to marry her husband and raise her children at the age of fifteen? She is afraid of losing face and being thrown into the Taoist Prime Minister's Pavilion.
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I've decided to take care of this tooth."
The waiter brought the food to the table, Hong Tao took two pairs of chopsticks, handed a pair to Qian Lao Er, and then said: "And you want to be my guarantor."
Qian Laoer was so shocked that his jaw dropped, "You are not even old enough, how can you be a housekeeper? This has never happened before."
"I'll follow you a few more times in the afternoon to get acquainted with the people in the yamen. You can recommend me to them when the time comes. It's easy to do things with acquaintances." Hong Tao went to pick up vegetables and eat.
Qian Laoer felt that he was being entangled by this little ancestor, and said with a bitter face: "Little ancestor, even if I believe you are not joking, I don't dare to be your guarantor.
For any guarantor who guarantees a house, if something goes wrong with the guaranteed person, the guarantor will be punished. This is the reason why there are many house bugs and few house teeth. Except for apprentices, no one will easily make a house for others.
Tooth guarantee.”
Hongtao looked unconcerned: "You are just afraid that I will cause trouble for you. I won't cause trouble, so don't worry. Besides, my father, mother, brother, and sister are all more powerful than the other, so it won't be a big deal."
They can't hold it back."
I know that your whole family is powerful, but I don’t dare to dig a hole for myself like this. Qian Laoer shook his head: “Guarantee is not acceptable.”
Even if nothing happens, he has no place to lose his face. If his colleagues know that he is vouching for a child, they will laugh out loud.
Hong Tao took two more bites of food and said, "If you vouch for me, I will help you solve the problem of not being able to marry for the rest of your life."
Qian Laoer's chopsticks fell on the table with a clatter.
He is forty and six years old, but he has not married yet. It's not that he doesn't want to marry, it's just that he is so stupid. The matchmaker said that one was a prostitute and the other was a promiscuous one. He talked about at least twenty people, but none of them came true.
It was also for this reason that Qian Laoer learned the hard way and simply gave up the idea of marrying a wife and starting a family, and instead focused on his fan teeth. Then he gradually became prosperous, and finally turned from an unknown little fan tooth into a famous one.
This was a question that had troubled him for decades. How could a child be able to protect him as a matchmaker? Qian Laoer picked up the chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls of food in silence before asking tentatively: "Second Miss is good at observing faces, could it be that she is good at reading faces?"
What did you see on my face?"
Hong Tao nodded, "Your marriage palace is defective, so the road to marrying a wife will be bumpy."
Qian Laoer took another two mouthfuls of food and continued to ask in a low voice: "Then...is there any solution?"
"Of course there is a solution. And I guarantee that your family will be able to hold a happy event this year." Hong Tao looked at him quite proudly.
Qian Laoer smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable, "But with my appearance, if a girl were willing to marry me, she would have married me long ago. Why wait until now?"
Hong Tao clicked her tongue and frowned slightly, "Although you are Han...well, marriage has not been around for more than thirty years, and it does not prove that it will not happen in forty, fifty or even sixty years."
arrive.
Some things come slowly. If you say you can't, let it come. But if it does, don't refuse in a hurry."
Being taught by a child in such a serious manner made Qian Laoer a little uncomfortable. However, after thinking about this again and again, he felt that he had to change his mind: he really couldn't treat this second young lady as a child.
In the end, Qian Laoer compromised. He admitted that he still had hope in his heart, and he still wanted to find a wife in his lifetime. If God would continue to care for him and he could have a son and a half, then his life would be perfect.
After all, all he wants in this life is to have a warm person to talk to when he returns home from a busy day, and to buy interesting gadgets when he goes out to comfort his children.
"The guarantee is fine, but I can't guarantee that you will really be able to become a housekeeper. The identity card must be issued by the government office. Since you are not old enough and you are a girl, there is a high probability that you will be rejected by the government office."
Qian Laoer clearly had an expression on his face that this was not going to happen.
Hongtao held her chin and thought for a while, then said, "We'll talk about it after we try it."
If it really doesn't work, then she can only go to Sanzen disciples to find someone to train herself. But this is not what she wants, so she has to try it first.
"Also, even if you pass the test due to your age, there is still one more test you have to pass." Qian Laoer continued:
"Fang Ya also has an assessment, and the tests are all related to Fang Ya's work. At the end of each month, the Yamen releases the date for Fang Ya's assessment two or three days in advance.
The people responsible for the assessment are all senior old Fang Ya from the past. These people are all experienced people. You don’t have any experience in Fang Ya’s work, and you don’t have a master to teach you things that you can’t see on the surface. They just come up with whatever they want.
The questions will stump you and it will be difficult for you to pass their assessment."
Hong Tao was a little surprised, "Why does Fang Ya need to be assessed?"
