006: The second brother is stupid and has too much money

After hearing this, the two looked at each other.

There is indeed a lot behind this matter.

The clue ends here. I don’t know if the white porcelain Guanyin was specially prepared for the old lady, or if it was just a coincidence.

Xie Beihan looked at the two of them, "What happened?"

"Just... I broke this Guanyin, don't tell anyone." Chu Shuo said half-truthfully, "By the way, take out the jade pendant we bought together earlier and show it to my sixth sister."

Xie Beihan did as he was told.

Nan Li glanced at it and said: "There is nothing wrong with your jade pendant, but you are trapped in the Seven Killing Formation. Today is the seventh day. You will be killed before midnight tonight."

Xie Beihan was stunned.

Suddenly someone told him that he would die today, and he became angry. He suddenly stood up and said angrily: "I helped you investigate things, and you just don't thank me, but you came to curse me to death?!"

Nan Li has seen many such people and is not angry.

People are often like this and only want to hear good things.

"Prince Zhenbei, there is a black mark on your forehead. You can't see it yourself, but I can see it clearly." She stretched out her hand, "Five hundred taels, friendship price, I will solve it for you."

Xie Beihan's eyes widened, and he became even more angry: "Erlang, your sister is mentally ill, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take a look at her?"

Chu Shuo frowned, "Beihan, what my sixth sister said is true. How could I harm you?"

Even if he is a close friend, he cannot say that to his sixth sister!

"Humph, she is just a young girl talking nonsense here, and you are the only one who can believe it." Xie Beihan took his jade pendant and left angrily.

It's ridiculous to say that he will die tomorrow.

Master Zhiguang said that he would be free from disasters, live a long life, and would marry a beautiful girl in the future!

Although Chu Shuo was a little annoyed, he couldn't ignore his brother of many years and had to chase him out.

After a while, he came back helplessly, obviously unable to convince Xie Beihan.

"Sixth sister, he is outspoken and honest, don't take it to heart." Chu Shuo pleaded, "You must find a way to save him."

"Didn't you give him the peace charm? He won't die for the time being." After Nan Li finished speaking, she picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

Chu Shuo was a little surprised, "You also know this?"

He was really worried about his best friend, so when he asked him to stay, he quietly stuffed the peace charm into Xie Beihan's lapel.

"The peace charm I gave to the Chu family is different. I can know its location." Nan Li did not explain too much.

"Sixth sister, I can give you a thousand taels, and you can help him solve this problem, okay?" Chu Shuo begged.

"What? He saved you in his previous life?"

Chu Shuo said: "I don't know if he saved me in his previous life, but he did save me in this life."

One autumn hunting day, he accidentally left the hunting range and was taken as prey by a black bear.

At the critical moment, it was Xie Beihan who lured the black bear away, and he saved his life.

After hearing what he said, Nan Li understood in her heart and said: "Don't worry, he has accumulated merits in his previous life and this life, and he will not die so easily. Otherwise, he would not meet me today."

Fate is wonderful beyond words.

"I'm sorry that he has so many beauties in his arms in this life. It's a virtue he accumulated in his previous life." Chu Shuo muttered.

"You can also say that."

Probably Xie Beihan saved the lives of those Tong Fang in his previous life.

But what Nan Li was surprised about was that with Xie Beihan having so many married couples, how could the children's palace be so weak, and he was destined to have only one son.

Is it possible that he will marry a jealous woman in the future and sell off his entire family?

But this is someone else's business after all, and everyone has his or her destiny.

If you forcefully change your destiny, you will have to pay a heavy price.

"Then I have to buy something. You pay for it today." Nan Li said again.

This time when I went down the mountain, everything was cleaned by Qingxu.

There are not many talismans and seals left.

"I've already placed an order for you, including talismans, cinnabar, peach wood swords, and various magical weapons." Chu Shuo said with a smile.

He puffed out his chest slightly and raised his chin, waiting for Nan Li to praise him and say that he liked his second brother the most.

Looking at his smiling face, Nan Li already had a bad feeling in her heart.

When I returned to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, I happened to see a fat woman directing her servants to move goods into the warehouse.

This is Chu Shuo's biological mother, Aunt Qian.

As her surname goes, in addition to being rich, she is also wealthy.

Her natal family is the richest businessman in Luoyang, with an annual income of one million taels and supporting thousands of workers.

Yesterday, Chu Shuo told Aunt Qian about the danger of the jade pendant. Aunt Qian was very grateful. In addition to the Taoist supplies sent, she also brought all kinds of golden ornaments and various luxurious fabrics to her own shop.

"Sixth Miss!" Aunt Qian herself also wears gold and silver, but she pays attention to the rules, and her clothes are not tacky, but have a unique charm.

"This is..." Nan Li looked at the packed warehouse, a little puzzled.

"You helped Erlang. This is all my mother's little thought. If you don't like these styles, I will order someone to see you off." Aunt Qian said.

Chu Shuo casually opened the box and took a look, and said in amazement: "Auntie, the ones you chose are elegant yet luxurious, luxurious but not elegant, they are very good!"

Nan Li stumbled, shocked by Chu Shuo's literary talent.

Then she looked at the jewelry he praised. It turned out to be a red gold necklace inlaid with various gemstones. Under the sunlight, it shone so brightly that it almost blinded her.

"Miss Sixth, come and try it. You are fair and beautiful, and it will definitely look good on you." Aunt Qian was already eager to try it.

Thinking of the weight of these jewelry, Nan Li's scalp went numb and she waved her hands hurriedly: "No, they are suitable to be kept in the warehouse."

As soon as the two of them heard this, they knew that Nan Li didn't like these styles, and they were considering whether to ask craftsmen to customize them themselves so that Nan Li would be satisfied.

Nanli couldn't help them, so she asked Yuanbao and Chunbao to help move out the yellow paper and other objects so that she could prepare the talisman.

But as soon as she saw it, her face darkened.

The yellow paper was defective, the cinnabar was imported from Xibei, and even the mahogany sword was made of ordinary wood.

"Where did you buy these things?" Nan Li asked.

Dare to deceive her second brother and seek death?

"The largest shop on West Street is called Duofu Tang. I heard it was opened by a Taoist priest with profound Taoist teachings. People in Kyoto go there to buy talismans." Chu Shuo came over and took a look. He was a layman. Naturally, he was a layman.

I can't see any way.

"You don't know how to do it. What he sells you is either substandard or fake," Nan Li said.

As her second brother, she fully utilized the four words "people are stupid and have too much money".

Aunt Qian put her hands on her hips angrily and said, "Are you bullying Erlang for his young age? This is unreasonable. Come and find a few thugs. I will come to the door in person to return the goods."

"Aunt Qian, wait a minute, my second brother and I will go," Nan Li said.

Duofu Tang is in the west of the city, and it takes half an hour to get there by carriage.

It was approaching noon, the May sun was not yet too strong, and people were coming and going on the street.

Sure enough, as Chu Shuo said, many people bought talismans and seals from Duofu Tang.

Different talismans have different prices. An ordinary tranquilizing talisman costs fifty taels of silver.

When they got off the carriage, Chu Shuo ordered someone to carry the boxes of things up. He shouted angrily: "Shopkeeper, these things are either substandard or fake, and you dare to sell them to me? Return them quickly and refund your money, otherwise,
Chapter completed!
