The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 11: Beat it up with a rake

No matter who speaks, the ladies and young ladies in the capital always speak in a roundabout way.

Even if something happened and caused a falling out, for the sake of reputation, they would just make sarcastic remarks or make indirect accusations.

Liu didn't expect Xie Lan to break up with her in front of so many people.

Seeing that Liu was so angry that she wanted to scold Xie Lan again, Xie Ying slightly pulled her sleeve.

With an apologetic look on her face, she said, "Sister, you misunderstood. Mother and I didn't abandon you. I was not feeling well yesterday, and mother rushed to take me to see a doctor.

I thought the road was too bumpy and I was afraid that you were too weak to handle it, so I asked Uncle Liu to drive you slowly to Yushi Town."

Liu was concerned about her reputation and could only swallow her anger and put on a self-blaming expression.

"Lan girl, your mother was worried because she saw that you hadn't arrived at Yushi Town yet, so she said something inappropriate in a hurry. Fortunately, you are fine now, so your mother is relieved."

Liu is trying to turn the tables, and now the mother and daughter are working together to cover up the incident.

It's quite a beautiful thought.

Unfortunately, Xie Lan wouldn't let them have their wish.

She didn't go back to the capital with them to suffer bullying, and now she was about to die, so she had nothing to worry about.

If you have any dissatisfaction and don't return it on the spot, will it be kept for the next life?

Xie Lan sneered, "Misunderstanding? I don't think so. You said you were not feeling well, but I saw that your face was rosy, so you didn't look like anything was wrong."

Xie Ying's face changed slightly, and her mind raced, "Sister, I did feel uncomfortable yesterday. But mother took me to see a doctor, and I got better after taking medicine."

"Oh, which doctor is this who can bring people back to health? Such a great skill is buried in Yushi Town. Which clinic is he from? What's his name?
We are going back to Beijing, so why not recommend him to the Emperor? If he can get a job in the Imperial Hospital, it would be better than staying here."

This was just something she made up, why is this damn star still not giving in?

Xie Ying pursed her lips and said nothing, she was so angry that her nails almost broke the skin on her palms.

Liu glared at Xie Lan in dissatisfaction, "That doctor is just a traveling doctor. He left after examining your sister and is now missing.

Okay, your sister and I have been looking for you all night and we are exhausted. Now that you are back, let’s go back to the inn and rest. We have to travel tomorrow.”

Xie Lan sneered again, "You've been searching for me all night? Where did you search? In a clothing store? You and your daughter are searching for someone, and you still have the mind to buy new clothes?

Also, you guys came out to the streets so early in the morning, don’t tell me you were looking for me.”

Liu was so angry at the ridicule that her face turned red. She regretted for a moment that she shouldn't have said anything about looking for someone, giving this little bitch another excuse to make trouble.

"Sister, you are mistaken. The clothes that mother and I are wearing were bought when we were in the capital. It's just the first time I wore them, so you misunderstood that I bought them here."

Xie Lan smiled, "But your clothes are clearly from Zhangji Clothing Store on West Street. You may not know that Zhangji's clothes are all unique and can't be found anywhere else.

Moreover, the embroidery on your clothes was embroidered by Madam Zhang herself."

The Liu mother and daughter were speechless. They saw that the styles of Zhangji's clothes were no worse than those in the capital and the prices were cheap, so they bought several sets.

I didn’t expect that this little bitch even knew Zhang Ji’s clothes so well.

Although they were extremely annoyed, Liu's mother and daughter did not dare to say anything else.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. If they deny that the clothes were not bought by Zhangji, this little bitch might even drag them to Zhangji for a confrontation.

Listening to the whispers of others, Liu had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being and decided to deal with her after returning to Beijing.

This caused quite a stir and attracted many people to stop and watch.

Liu was just about to signal the coachman to take Xie Lan away when she saw Cao, the shopkeeper from the nearby Jinyu Pavilion, squeeze in from the crowd with a smile and walk respectfully to the carriage.

"Fairy, it turns out you've come down the mountain. Come in and have a cup of tea and rest. I've just received a batch of goods in my store. Can you see if there's anything suitable?"

Xie Lan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sorry to bother you, Manager Cao."

"You are so polite, Fairy. It is a great honor for us to have you here."

Liu originally wanted to go back to the inn to rest, but when she saw Xie Lan was about to enter the Jinyu Pavilion, the mother and daughter looked at each other and followed her in.

Seeing the shopkeeper being so attentive to Xie Lan, serving her tea and snacks, Liu was secretly annoyed. Just now when they came to buy jade, the shopkeeper ignored them. Who knew what kind of seductive tricks this evil star had used to make the shopkeeper so infatuated.

How could Liu know that the reason why Manager Cao was so attentive to Xie Lan was because he regarded her as the God of Wealth.

The Jinyu Pavilion had been open for several years, but business had been bleak. The owner of the Jinyu Pavilion had tried many ways to turn losses into profits, but none of them worked.

Just when he was planning to close the store with great reluctance, he accidentally heard about Xie Lan's abilities, so he went to Mount Sanqing with the mentality of giving it a try.

At that time, Xie Lan just needed to buy some jade to make ritual tools. Seeing that the owner had donated a lot of money, he agreed to help him set up a feng shui formation to gather wealth.

The owner of Jinyu Pavilion didn't have much hope originally, but he didn't expect that after setting up the wealth-gathering array, not only did the business turn around, but he also made a lot of money and even grew bigger and bigger.

From then on, the owner and manager of Jinyu Pavilion regarded Xie Lan as the God of Wealth.

Xie Lan had no idea what Liu was thinking. She picked out more than a dozen pieces of jade before sitting down to drink tea and wait for the shopkeeper to settle the bill.

She picked out all the cut jades, although they were not top quality jades and were not big. However, once they were carved with formations and made into magical instruments, their value could increase by more than ten times.

There are many noble people in Kyoto, so this is a good opportunity to make some extra money.

Xie Lan was happily calculating in his mind, and the shopkeeper had also done the math.

After paying the banknote, Xie Lan's eyes accidentally swept across the two stones beside him and suddenly paused.

"Shopkeeper, how much are these two pieces?"

Shopkeeper Cao looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile, "Fairy, these two pieces are scraps that have been cut off. They are not worth buying."

scrap?

Xie Lan frowned slightly, bent down and looked at the two pieces of jade.

She didn't know how to gamble on stones. The cut surfaces of these two stones were all white, without a trace of green. They really looked like waste stones.

But... she actually saw a hint of familiar spiritual energy from the two stones.

Just like what she got from that young master.

Xie Lan calmly withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly, "Manager Cao, I have never cut a stone before, so I can just play with these two pieces."

In the business of gambling on jadeite, the jadeite gambling shops will sometimes recycle the scraps cut by customers at extremely low prices and then sell them to those who don't know much about the business to pick up bargains.

If it were an ordinary customer, Manager Cao would not only sell these two pieces of scraps, but would also take the opportunity to make another fortune.

But Manager Cao was actually afraid of someone like Xie Lan who was an expert in the mystical arts, and he didn't want to offend her.

Knowing it was waste, he didn't want to sell it, but seeing Xie Lan's insistence, he could only sell it to her for twenty cents.

Seeing Xie Lan buying several hundred taels of jade without blinking an eye, Liu was unhappy.

It can be seen that Xie Lan actually wanted to buy the material that she had just cut to pieces, and was gloating over her misfortune.

But after hearing what the shopkeeper said, he became angry again.

She just sold this scrap back to Shopkeeper Cao, who charged her 20 taels. But she was only charged 20 wen when she sold it to this bitch, which really pissed her off.

Liu didn't expect that something even more annoying was yet to come.
