Rebirth of Wufu Jin

Chapter 100 The Taoist Priest

Chapter 100 The Taoist Priest
After Yinqi left Xinuange, Wanyue was very puzzled, Zhou Gege was pregnant with a child in such a weak body, I'm afraid it would not be easy for her to give birth this time.

But thinking about it, she doesn't want to interfere with Zhou Gege's affairs, the most important thing right now is to order someone to go to the Yueminglou Tea Garden to inform shopkeeper Wang, so as to avoid any problems when the old man goes to the tea garden tomorrow.

She immediately looked at Yudan in the room, and seeing Yudan packing things on the table, she called Yudan.

Hearing the sound, Yudan turned her head to look at Wanyue, and asked, "My lord, what can I tell my servant?"

Wanyue glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she raised her hand to signal Yudan to come closer, Yudan immediately listened to her, Wanyue said something to her, Yudan quickly answered yes, and then backed away down.

After Yudan left the Xinuang Pavilion, seeing that she seemed to be heading towards the entrance of Baylor's Mansion, Madam Wang couldn't help being a little puzzled: What is Yudan going out for?Maybe it was to inquire about some news, but Wang Momo didn't bother to ask.

Wang Momo came to Wanyue's back room and asked softly, "Miss, I just saw Yudan go out."

Wanyue nodded and said, "Well, I'll let her go to Yueminglou tea garden to do something."

After Wang Momo heard this, the expression on her face was a bit intriguing. Before, the lady always asked her to hand over to the shopkeeper Wang in the tea garden, but today she let Yudan go. Wang Momo also knew that Wanyue wanted to flatter Yu Dan, but thinking that the young lady 'dislikes' her age, she feels a little uncomfortable. She thinks she can still accompany Wanyue for decades.

As soon as the court meeting ended on the second day, Yinqi and the emperor changed into ordinary people's casual clothes. Yinqi was worried that he would be recognized by the shopkeeper Wang of the tea garden. He believed that there were many officials in the tea garden here. Recognizing it, Yin Qi suggested that the emperor wear a fake beard bought from the street.

The emperor glanced at it, and then ordered Eunuch Li to take a piece of his beard, so he took Eunuch Li with him, and walked out of the palace together.

When the three of them arrived at the Yueminglou tea garden, they saw many carriages and sedan chairs parked at the entrance of the tea garden. Eunuch Li couldn't help but click his tongue: The business of the tea garden opened by Wufang Fujin is really booming, he has to curry favor with Wubeile.

On the side, the emperor also looked at Yinqi beside him in shock, "Yinqi, the business in this tea garden seems to be booming."

Yin Qi was a little embarrassed by what was said, he touched the tip of his nose, and replied with a smile: "It is probably because the opera troupe in this tea garden are good at singing, so the business is so good."

"Oh? Really? Is this troupe so good?" The emperor said with interest.

Yin Qi nodded, "The singing level of this troupe is considered top-notch, and I have come here to listen to a few plays in my spare time."

"In this case, I want to see it with my own eyes." The emperor said with great interest, and Yin Qi also smiled.

The three of them entered the tea garden, and when the staff of the tea garden saw the three of them, they rushed forward to greet them, "Masters, please come inside."

"Arrange a private room for me, and bring me a pot of tea and a fruit plate." Yin Qi blinked at the clerk, who immediately saw it, nodded and bowed in agreement.

The three of them were taken to the private room to sit down, and the clerk came in with a pot of tea and fruit plate, Yin Qi waved to the clerk, and the clerk retreated out tactfully.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, and the tea set was exquisite. After taking a sip of tea, the emperor sighed in satisfaction, and praised: "This tea is really good, not worse than the one in the palace."

After Yinqi heard this, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: This tea was specially selected by Yue'er after comparing it with tea merchants from all over the country.

But he still said modestly: "Huang Ama, these teas are all bought by the people, how can they compare with the tea in the palace?"

The emperor smiled, did not continue this topic, but turned his attention to the stage on the first floor.

At this time, the opera on the stage had reached its climax. The emperor looked around and found that only the spectators on the first floor were watching seriously. Several private rooms on the second and third floors were empty. The private room seemed to be full of people, some of whom looked like officials they had seen in court.

"Yinqi, look at the private room on the third floor!" The emperor fixed his eyes on the private room and raised his finger to point in that direction.

When Yinqi and Eunuch Li heard about it, they looked in the direction the emperor pointed, and saw several officials in the private room, Yinqi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Huang Ama, why don't we go up and have a look?" .”

"Alright." The emperor responded, and the three of them then walked to the third floor.

In the private room on the third floor, the inner three floors and the outer three floors are tightly surrounded, most of them are officials, and these people are very quiet when surrounded by people. Yin Qi seems to only hear the voice of one person inside. But it is not known who is speaking.

The three of them stood at a corner, Yin Qi and Eunuch Li looked at each other, Eunuch Li understood, and squeezed in, leading the emperor and Eunuch Li into the private room.

On the main seat in the private room, sat a Taoist priest wearing a green shirt. He looked about thirty years old and looked very ordinary. He looked like a rural woodcutter. The emperor couldn't help but frowned. , where is the innocence that those officials said.

When Yinqi saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just such an ordinary person was regarded as a fortune teller by those officials. One can imagine how unreliable these officials are.

The Taoist squinted his eyes and chanted the incantation intently, and kept counting the hexagrams.

After a while, the Taoist priest opened his eyes. He glanced around, and finally locked his eyes on the official sitting opposite him. He settled down and said slowly: "Benefactor, the poor Taoist has a few words. I don't know if I should ask?"

"Please speak." The official immediately moved his body closer to the table.

……

"Pin Dao sees that the benefactor is very good-looking, and there are noble people to help him. This life must have a bright future."

When the official heard the Taoist's good words, he couldn't help but beam with joy, "Thank you Daxian for your guidance, I am very grateful."

After speaking, he took out an ingot of silver and gave it to the Taoist priest. The Taoist coughed twice, took the ingot of silver from across the table, and continued, "Next."

The official stood up with a happy smile just now, and another official in line immediately sat in the position of the official just now.

The emperor is too familiar with this Taoist routine. Some scammers in the world use fortune-telling as an excuse to swindle money. However, the emperor is going to continue to see what other tricks this Taoist has, so officials who have read the Four Books and Five Classics willingly take out silver.

After a while, another official also came up to ask the Taoist about the hexagram. The Taoist looked at the official's appearance, then at his clothes, frowned and said: "The poor Taoist priest's fortune, the fortune of the benefactor Sha, life is rough, if you don't get out of danger early, I'm afraid your life will be lost."

"Ah! I don't know if the master has a way to resolve it?" The official trembled in fright and asked hastily.

"Benefactor, there are a few spirit beads here in Pindao that can be resolved, but the production process of the spirit beads is cumbersome and the price is quite high."

"Master, as long as it can save my life, any amount of money will do. I just ask Master to help me resolve this disaster." The official blurted out without thinking.

Seeing this, the emperor winked at Eunuch Li who was beside him. Eunuch Li stretched his head to look forward and saw the official's face clearly.

Seeing that the official on the other side was so willing to pay, the Taoist couldn't help raising his voice, "This one spirit bead costs at least 100 taels!"

Yin Qi was curious at the side, isn't this great fortune-telling fairy not counting fortunes according to rumors, but only official promotions?Why is life counting today?
