Knowing the secrets of heaven, knowing the way to heaven, and seeing the future... What a great statement!
If there really were such talented people, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
Qin Rushuang asked unconsciously, "Are you really that awesome...?"
Boss Xu became interested and said, "Of course."
Qin Rushuang said with a smile: "If there really is such a god, then my husband-in-law and I will pay a visit on another day. But we don't know where this magical power is manifested. We are afraid that after we go, we will get the money in vain, but it is a lie."
.”
Boss Xu waved his hand and said: "Oh, madam, this is wrong. This Taoist Master Wang really has some skills, otherwise he would not be so popular in our Zhou County."
"Then please tell us, Boss Xu, where exactly does Taoist Wang have his magical powers?"
When this was mentioned, Boss Xu became interested and started talking endlessly.
It turned out that Boss Xu and his wife had been in love for many years and there were no concubines in the family. However, Mrs. Xu was in poor health and could not conceive a child.
Later, when Boss Xu was 40 years old, he finally gave birth to Lin'er, and he was still a boy. This old-born only Miaomiao became the treasure of Boss Xu and his wife.
More than half a year ago, Taoist Priest Wang brought a group of Taoist priests to Zhou County to see the Taoist temple. Boss Xu didn't believe it at first, but one time his son suddenly fell ill due to unknown stimulation. He had a high fever and kept calling many doctors.
From the looks of it, it all healed after taking medicine, but relapsed a few days later.
Boss Xu thought it was the work of gods and ghosts. When he was desperate, he remembered that there was a Taoist temple on the mountain, so he went to burn a stick of incense with the mentality of giving it a try.
"I'm not telling you that, Taoist Wang is really amazing. After I burned the incense, I donated some sesame oil money. Taoist Wang gave me a pack of talisman water and asked me to feed the child and wait."
"I didn't expect that after feeding him a few times, my little son really gradually got better!"
"Of course, this is just one of them. Taoist Wang is indeed quite capable. He can explain the affairs of my family clearly and clearly. Moreover, under the guidance of Taoist Wang, I have become as strong as a child in the past six months.
Cow, be in good spirits!"
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun looked at each other, which was a bit interesting.
Qin Rushuang carefully looked at Boss Xu's expression and saw that he was over fifty years old. Although he was a little fat, his face was rosy. His whole person revealed a spirit that only young people have. He looked more energetic than many men in their fifties.
Better.
"Is there anything else?" Qin Rushuang asked again: "Don't blame me, Boss Xu. We business people would rather believe in some things than trust them in others. My husband-in-law and I also want to know more about it, don't you think so?"
, Mr. Xianggong?”
Xie Xun on the side seemed to be in a trance, and only came back to his senses after Qin Rushuang called him again.
"Ah...yes, madam."
Qin Rushuang showed a puzzled look and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look a little absent-minded?"
Xie Xun put away his thoughts and said, "Nothing."
Qin Rushuang's words of "Mr. Gong" just now made him feel a little elated.
Boss Xu said: "Daozhang Wang has indeed given me some help in this business. Speaking of which, he recently gave me some advice, saying that I will have good fortune this year and have noble people to help me. If the noble people come, they will definitely go east."
Come."
Having said this, shopkeeper Xu seemed to have remembered something. He looked at Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun with wide eyes, and asked excitedly: "I haven't asked yet, where are these two distinguished guests from?"
"Kyoto."
Shopkeeper Xu slapped his thigh, "It's amazing! Taoist Master Wang is really amazing! Isn't Kyoto just east of Zhou County? By the way, you two said they were here to discuss business. What kind of business is it?"
In order not to alert others, Qin Rushuang returned the topic to business matters.
"Looking for Boss Xu, it's naturally the rouge business. I heard in Kyoto that the Xu family's rouge is very famous, so I came to Zhou County to visit in person."
"As for this list...it's naturally a big one."
"Our husband has contacts with many dignitaries in Kyoto. He would like to purchase a high-quality rouge. The price can be whatever Boss Xu decides. As long as the quality is decent, we can get as much as we want."
Boss Xu smiled happily, and while saying a few more words about Wang Taoist Master, he discussed business matters with Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun in detail.
Qin Rushuang picked up some words that businessmen liked to hear, and inadvertently revealed some of the list of dignitaries in her hand to Boss Xu, which made Boss Xu even more happy.
Seeing that it was getting late, Boss Xu made a final decision: "If the two distinguished guests don't mind, you can stay in the mansion today."
Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang had already booked a room at an inn in the city, but firstly they wanted to discuss business with Boss Xu, and secondly they were very interested in the Taoist temple, especially curious about what Boss Wang said about Taoist Master Wang's knowledge of heaven, so
After discussing with Xie Xun, we decided to stay at Boss Xu’s house.
Boss Xu happily took the two of them back to Xu Mansion.
The Xu family is indeed one of the top businessmen in Zhou County, and the yard is naturally very elegant.
Several people came to the door of Xu Mansion and were about to go in. Qin Rushuang suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.
She looked back and saw a man in ragged clothes walking beside her. He was holding a basket in his hand, with blood dripping from it.
Seeing Qin Rushuang frowning, Boss Xu hurriedly said: "Madam, don't be surprised. This man lives in the street next door. He is a small gangster. He is the only one in the family. He is lazy and poor."
"Look at his bag full of pig offal that he begged from the pig butcher. No one wants it, so he begs for it and eats it himself. Look at that whole big bag. It comes to my door every day.
, blood dripped everywhere."
"Oh, I scolded him a few times, but I thought it would be hard for him to be alone, so forget it and ask the servants to clean it up."
Leaving aside this little episode, Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun stayed in Xu Mansion.
Qin Rushuang ordered his people to be on guard around Xu Mansion, and only took Qingzhi to live with him in Xu Mansion.
While having dinner, Qin Rushuang met the youngest son that Boss Xu mentioned.
The child looked about ten years old. He was a little timid and thin. Although he was very polite, he looked at outsiders timidly.
After dinner, Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang returned to the room. With only two people in the room, the two discussed the news they had received from shopkeeper Xu today.
"This Taoist Master Wang...what do you think, Prince? He does sound like a god."
Xie Xun shook his head, "It's just opportunistic."
Qin Rushuang smiled and naturally knew what Xie Xun meant.
Let’s not talk about Boss Xu’s younger son for now. Maybe there is something fishy that they don’t know about.
Simply speaking, Taoist Wang's assertion that a noble person came from the east was just a coincidence.
Zhou County has a special geographical location, with Kyoto to the east, and the other surrounding counties have similar or even slightly inferior economic levels to those of prefectures and counties.
If there is really any noble person who wants to bring business to Boss Xu's rouge shop, he must come from the east.
Moreover, businessmen from Kyoto, if they really want to do business, will never be stingy with money, just for quality.
Taoist Master Wang's words sounded like they were spoken by an opportunistic and smooth-talking Taoist.
"Why don't you stay in Xu Mansion for a few days and see what happens?" Qin Rushuang suggested.
