"The night I came back, I prepared and started lighting incense for Lao Xian'er. Mainly, I wanted to ask why I couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. The incense couldn't be lit at first, but it finally lit up.
The cigarette is still black. After all, I have been your second master for so long. I immediately understood that it was you who was making a choice. It would be bad luck to smoke the incense randomly. But not long after, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
After about 10 minutes, the fragrance became normal. Later I understood that it wasn’t that the old fairy was angry with you and didn’t want you to be with Zhuo Jing, because the fairy was a family fairy and was always looking for you, but that you and
Zhuo Jing won't succeed this time, which Lao Xian'er has long expected. Although I couldn't contact you at the time, when I called you, I understood everything as soon as I heard Cheng Baize's voice."
Sitting on the sofa at home, Zong Bao still maintained his usual calmness, "Later, probably the next day, Zhuo Jing came. When he found the store, your father was frightened. He kept asking me about you and Zhuo Jing.
What happened to Jing? I'm afraid you might offend Zhuo Jing. Zhuo Jing asked me where you were hiding. He said it was his mother who told you something that made you not see him. I said you were still in Hong Kong, but he
If you don’t believe it, even if your parents and your aunt asked him to stay at your house, he wouldn’t go. You know he can be quite scary when he’s angry. No one dares to say anything. He sleeps in his car at night.
I thought he could stay here until you come back, but one morning I went downstairs to accompany your grandpa for a walk and found that his car was missing, so I guessed that he had gone back."
With that said, Zong Bao raised his eyes and looked at me: "Jiaolong, one thing I don't understand is why he doesn't know that you are still in Hong Kong. I think, with Zhuo Jing's ability, it shouldn't be that difficult for him to find someone, right?"
."
I sat there with my eyes downcast, but when I listened to Zong Bao's words, I felt my whole body become cold again. I opened my mouth softly and replied, "Because there are people with greater ability than him who can prevent him from finding me."
Zong Bao frowned slightly: "Are you talking about Zhuo Jing's mother? From what Zhuo Jing meant, his mother should have met you alone that night. In fact, Zhuo Jing's two days have really subverted my impression of him.
He didn't wash his face, didn't comb his hair, and was unshaven. He didn't look like him at all. I think something must have happened between you. You might be avoiding him on purpose, but look at him
I really couldn't bear to do that. I wanted to tell you about his situation, but your phone calls didn't answer. Instead, Cheng Baize called me back and said you were fine and told me not to worry, but I couldn't talk to Zhuo either.
Jing said that you are now happily together with Cheng Baize. Doesn't that irritate him even more? But I don't think how can you force someone to be like that? Zhuo Jing is at least a proud man of heaven. I don't want to blame you, but
Anyone who sees Zhuo Jing’s behavior will feel uncomfortable..."
I exhaled and looked up at Zong Bao: "Zong Bao, I didn't stay well with Cheng Baize. Zhuo Jing's mother did see me that night and gave me a bracelet. Then I vomited and didn't know.
It was something dark, and when I opened my eyes, it was yesterday, but you are right to blame me, I messed up the matter myself."
"I don't mean to blame you. I just feel that Zhuo Jing is so pitiful. He can make me feel pitiful. How can you say that you have done it? Since you fainted at the time, call him when you wake up.
Is there any misunderstanding? Please explain it clearly!"
"I went to call, but he seems to be sick now. My uncle said that his mother doesn't let him see outsiders. My uncle can't see him even if he wants to. It's useless for me to call." I opened my mouth quietly and handed this thing over.
Everything was explained to Zong Bao in detail from beginning to end.
Zong Bao nodded, then looked at me: "Then this time..."
I took a deep breath and looked at him, "Zong Bao, you may not be able to retire for a while."
Zong Bao stood up and walked to me: "Actually, I don't want to retire. I haven't been your second master yet, but I think you still need to find a chance to explain things clearly to Zhuo Jing, including your marriage-refuting evil.
Yes, at least don't make him suffer so much. As a bystander, I can't bear to see him like that."
I nodded gently: "I know, it's all down to me, I'm too self-righteous."
"Whoever is involved in emotional matters will be confused. I understand you, but it's better to end it and let him know everything, so as to save you both from such pain."
After saying that, Zong Bao actually put his arm around my shoulders: "Well, my great master, you are welcome to return. From another perspective, at least we have not lost a promising Onmyoji, right?"
I sniffed and said, "Zong Bao, don't blame me. Sometimes I feel very stupid."
Zong Bao smiled helplessly: "You are somewhat self-aware, so you shouldn't go to see your mother and get things done in a hurry, then your mother just doesn't agree to cook raw rice."
Yeah, but I think even if it’s not his mother, Cheng Baize can chase you to Hong Kong, which is enough to make your rice cooker. But from my point of view, I think this result is very good, at least, you
You are still an Onmyoji, otherwise, you have nothing, and in the end you come back alone with nothing, wouldn’t it become the kind of sad drama that my mother forced me to watch when I was a child?"
I didn't respond, and I can't do anything better now.
Seeing that I didn't respond, Zong Bao squeezed to sit next to me, touched me with his shoulder, and whispered: "Hey, you really drugged him, that, you didn't think about it.
However, he has been knocked down by you, so down there..."
"Liu Zongbao." I glared at him sideways: "Can you be less nosy."
Zong Bao scratched his chin: "I'm not gossiping, I just think that the difficulty level of your matter is a bit high. You should also understand what men are like. If you don't respond, there are some things that can be done.
."
"Why can't it be done?"
I stood up and glared at him: "I am half a man and I understand, but let me tell you, this matter ends here. If you bring it up again, I will kill you. Where is my grandpa? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Going for a walk, he doesn't like to hold it in at home."
Zong Bao crossed his arms and looked at me: "I strictly followed your request and told your grandpa that you were dating your boyfriend in Hong Kong. However, your grandpa misunderstood him as Cheng Baize, because Cheng Baize later called your grandpa.
The phone call said you were with him, so you know, your grandpa was quite happy, and kept saying that you were going to marry Cheng Baize. I don't even understand why your grandpa said that."
I frowned: "Didn't Zhuo Jing come? Didn't my grandpa see Zhuo Jing?"
Zong Bao shook his head: "We didn't meet him head-on. I was afraid that your grandpa would be worried about you if he knew about it. During the two days when Zhuo Jing came, I asked Aunt Sun to lead grandpa away in the park. Did I do something wrong? I should tell you
Your grandpa said your boyfriend is actually Zhuo Jing?"
I waved my hand: "No, my grandpa can't be happy no matter how happy he is. Don't let him get angry with me."
Zong Bao responded: "Then what are our plans for the next step? Your father has now entered the store. Xiaoni said that she has clarified the manufacturer's quality certification in the newspaper. Your father's management is also very good and quite good."
Experienced ones, but your father took care of everything for your aunt and your mother. Several shopping guides resigned, saying that it was more secure to use someone from your own family. Xiaoni asked you when you were going to the city, she...
"
"I understand. You told Xiaoni that when I go back to my hometown with my grandpa tomorrow to pay my grandma's grave, we will go to the city. Since my aunt and my mother have already gone to the store, there is no need to think about it. Even if there is no big conflict
, there must have been constant quarrels, and that environment must have given her a headache."
Zong Bao hummed, "Okay, you just need to understand in your heart. But do we still need to make curtains when we go to the city? I've been thinking about it for the past two days. Most big stores have their own manufacturers and brands.
So from any aspect, we have no advantage."
I have thought about this for a long time. After looking at Zong Bao, I breathed out: "Of course we can't stick to the rules when doing business. Since I am an Onmyoji, then after we go to the city, we will professionally make Feng Shui curtains."
"Feng shui curtain? What is the difference between this and ordinary curtains?"
"The difference is huge. Some of today's apartments can easily be blocked by the windows of the living room after entering the door. Although most families will choose to make partitions to avoid leaking money, but the partitions have flaws, which will make the two living rooms of small apartments become
If you are in a cramped space, what we want to do is to create a crystal feng shui curtain to attract wealth. It can not only have a partition effect, but the style can also be changed according to the interior decoration. It can also brighten the indoor light, and it is easy to take care of. It will not look like
The partitions remain the same. Although the cost of real crystal is higher, the customer groups we face are more receptive. The benefits will not be small. What we have to do is to be professional."
This idea is not groundless. I saw it at Li Maocheng’s home. Because their home is very large, hedging is unavoidable in many places, but he makes good use of various corrugated or semicircular crystal curtains. The guidance of an expert is definitely
Yes, but I think the idea is very clever. It avoids some flaws in Feng Shui without reducing the style of the home. Although I am not the first to do this, the market competitiveness is definitely better than that of home curtains and blackout cloth.
It is much smaller, and the important point is that the crystal is now in full swing, and I don’t need to explain too much about its efficacy. Everyone understands it. All I have to do is to arrange it in the right position. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, I specialize in Feng Shui.
The advantages of curtains are obvious.
Zong Bao suddenly looked at me with a silly grin on his face and said nothing. To be honest, Zong Bao was not suitable for smiling. His eyes were naturally dull, and when he smiled, he looked particularly careless.
I was speechless, "Why are you giggling!"
Zong Bao shook his head and looked at me with great interest: "Jiaolong, you said it would be great if you could deal with your own feelings in such a clear and logical manner. Sometimes when I encounter your hesitant look, I will
I really want to send you back to the factory for repairs.”
"roll!"
I rolled my eyes at him: "You have the nerve to tell me off, but you and Xiaoni can set an example for me."
Zong Bao's smile immediately faded, he scratched his head and stood up as if nothing was wrong: "Oh, why hasn't this grandpa come back yet?"
I shook my head helplessly, murmured something guilty, took out my mobile phone and took a look at it, sighing silently in my heart. My uncle only said that Zhuo Jing was fine, but he didn't see Zhuo Jing, so he asked me to wait.
Wait, she said she would continue to persuade Zhuo Jing's mother. I know that she is taking advantage of Zhuo Jing's illness to be under house arrest. If she really has been sending people to keep an eye on me, she should also know that I am back, but she just doesn't know.
, how is Zhuo Jing’s illness going?
…
"Old lady! Old lady! I'm here to see you!!"
"Grandpa, please slow down, I will support you, don't be anxious, haven't you already seen grandma's grave?"
The next day, I drove straight to the bottom of the mountain. As soon as I got off the car, my grandpa got excited and climbed up the mountain anxiously with his obviously unsteady legs. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly to grandma. Zong Bao and I supported him from left to right.
Looking at him, the wind on the mountain was very strong in autumn, and there was a sense of chilling everywhere. The frost had fallen, and most of the grass had turned yellow and was very slippery. I was really afraid that he would fall. Fortunately, my grandma’s grave was not very far from the bottom of the mountain.
Yuan, after more than half an hour of panting and tossing with Zong Bao, it was finally over. As soon as grandpa saw grandma’s grave, he collapsed and rushed directly to the tombstone: “Old woman, I’m useless, I can’t say I came to see you.
I came to see you, I really miss you, do you think I am too old and stupid to even give me a dream?"
My eyes couldn't help but feel sore, so I pulled out the grass on my grandma's grave, then knelt in front of it, slowly took out the sacrificial items from the bag, drew a half circle, and then asked Zong Bao to help him back.
Grandpa, he then arranged the offerings and lit the paper: "Grandma, Jiaolong is also here to see you."
As I said that, I listened to my grandpa crying and couldn't help but cry too: "Grandma, Jiaolong did something wrong. Don't blame Jiaolong. Jiaolong almost failed to live up to your expectations..."
I don’t know whether it’s the strong wind or my grandma’s fault. The burnt black paper was entangled in the air with the wind, and then the paper ash gradually fell on my head. Normally, it can be interpreted as the deceased.
I was collecting money, but I thought it was grandma who came out to see me. I lowered my eyes and kowtowed a few times: "Grandma, please blame me. Jiaolong is ignorant. He is really ignorant. You went too early.
Jiaolong really doesn't know what to do when he is alone. Grandma, I miss you, I really miss you..."
"Old woman, I miss you too. Take me away to accompany you. I've caused trouble for Jiaolong. I'm useless. I'm old and confused now. You think I'm still alive like this?
What!!”
Grandpa also knelt beside me, watching grandma crying with tears. I was a little worried about him, so I held his arm: "Grandpa, don't say these things. You will make both grandma and me feel uncomfortable."
, you have to be good, I still need to rely on you to take care of me."
"What should I take care of? Grandpa is old and really useless. Jiaolong, Xiaobai didn't come today. Otherwise, let your grandma take a look at Xiaobai and let your grandma rest assured. Xiaobai will be here in the future.
Taking care of you."
There was a 'pop'! As soon as my grandfather finished speaking, the incense exploded from the middle.
I was startled, and the incense was fried, and evil entered my body, which was a sign of ruin for my family and my family.
What does this mean? Then he looked at the tombstone: "Grandma, this is..."
Grandpa was also startled by the exploding incense head and looked at me: "Jiaolong, what are your grandma talking about? What are you talking about?"
I was afraid that my grandpa would be worried, so I hugged his arm and said, "Grandma said that you should be well and don't think too much about other things. You have to take good care of your body, otherwise she will be worried."
"Old woman! My brain is really broken. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember anything in the future. You can show your spirit and let me take a look at you. Otherwise, I won't even be able to remember your appearance in the future.
Stay."
I looked at my grandma's tombstone blankly, thinking hard about the reason why the incense exploded.
Suddenly, the wind picked up, and I shivered, and the sky and the earth immediately darkened. My grandfather excitedly shouted in my ear: "Old woman! Are you going to show up, old woman!!"
I knelt and didn't move, but watched the water slowly gush out from my grandma's tombstone. At first it was drop by drop, and then, like clear tears, it slowly trickled down two lines. My heart tightened.
I seem to have encountered this scene before when visiting my grandma’s grave. Why is grandma crying?
"Jiaolong, why is there still water flowing here? What's going on? Your grandma is crying! Your grandma is crying! Jiaolong, your grandma misses me too!"
Grandpa said anxiously, crying along with him, but I felt that it was not that simple. I reached out to the tombstone to wipe the water on the tombstone, and whispered in a low voice: "Grandma, what on earth is going on?
, Don’t scare Jiaolong, grandma, please give Jiaolong some hints..."
The water on my grandma's tombstone immediately disappeared. I was startled for a moment, turned around, and couldn't help but be stunned when I looked at the person who called my name: "Uncle Xu?"
Xu Gang panted and ran in my direction, sweating profusely from exhaustion, and his expression was mournful: "Jiaolong, you are really back! You are really back! Someone in the village said they saw you driving back.
I still don’t believe it, but fortunately I came after him to see if it’s really you!” After saying that, he looked at my grandfather again and ran over with excitement: “Uncle, I really miss you.
!!!”
Grandpa looked at him as if his name was on his lips but he was struggling to say it: "Yes, yes..."
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? I'm a gangster. You've forgotten me. You watched me get married and get a wife!"
"Oh, it's Gangzi, it's Gangzi. I haven't forgotten it. I just can't pronounce the name!" Grandpa nodded immediately and held Xu Gang's hand: "Gangzi, why are you still here?"
I glanced at my grandma's normal tombstone, then stood up and walked to Xu Gang: "Uncle, my grandpa's memory is not very good now, so sometimes he can't remember people's names."
Xu Gang nodded and shook his grandfather's hand hard, but tears flowed out: "Uncle, you have to help me."
Grandpa was startled for a moment and nodded repeatedly: "What's wrong with you, Gangzi? What happened to you?"
Xu Gang stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and also wiped the sweat on his head, "Uncle, Jiaolong, I asked Xiaohu to go to Anton to look for you, but he couldn't find you. Everyone in the village said
Jiaolong has a great future and is a famous gentleman. I am here to ask Jiaolong for help!!"
"Uncle, tell me slowly, why are you trying to save your life? What happened?"
Xu Gang sniffed and looked at me: "Your Aunt Yanhong is dying, Jiaolong, please go and help your uncle. My uncle has watched you grow up and knows that your grandma is very good at seeing things, so you took care of her."
Grandma’s fairy is good, so I trust you. If you don’t help, your Aunt Yanhong will die!!!” (To be continued)
