Chapter 317: Guaranteeing Your Lifelong Wealth
"Master, help me calculate."
"My God, my feet have been hurting for more than ten years. Can it be cured?"
The people who had just been queuing up seriously immediately squeezed towards Hua Qing, scrambling to be the first, fearing that if they were too late, the master would not give them the count.
'bell'
The sound of the copper bell in Hua Qing's hand shaking rang out. The people who had been scrambling to get in front of him just now were like good children, quietly staying in front of Hua Qing. Hua Qing's unfathomable eyes swept across the audience: "Today, I am here to tell fate and save people. I will tell fortunes and save people. I will pay one ounce of silver for each divination."
"ah."
"One tael of silver, this is too expensive!"
"That's right. In the past, fortune tellers only charged a few dozen coins."
The crowd murmured, and soon someone retorted: "Then the fortune tellers in the past were all liars. How can they compare with this master?"
"One tael of silver, I'll give it to you." The woman who had been eating melon seeds earlier, had just put out the fire at home and beaten up the man at home, and immediately came to find Hua Qing. When she heard the one tael of silver, she took out one tael of silver without hesitation: "If it weren't for the master, I would have been treated as a fool!"
"Madam, your blessings are yet to come." Hua Qing put the silver directly into the purse and asked, "Who else wants to count?"
One or two taels of silver stopped many people who wanted to join in the fun.
For a moment, everyone who had been rushing forward busily fell silent. Luo's mother pulled Luo Min out and said, "I'll go. I want to treat my daughter's eyes!"
Hua Qing glanced at them and said, "To cure your daughter's eyes, you need three things."
"Which three?" Luo's mother said excitedly.
Hua Qing looked at Luo Min deeply before saying, "The first two things, the blood of a relative and the blessing of an octogenarian, are easy to find. The last thing requires the blessing of a hundred children under ten years old. Only then can your daughter's eyes be cured."
"Is this to cure my eyes, or what?" Luo's mother asked with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Can this cure my eyes?"
…
"This Donglin County is too dilapidated. The streets from beginning to end are so narrow that only one carriage can pass through." The prince lowered the curtain. He had originally wanted to go out for a walk, but when he looked at the streets of Donglin County, he suddenly lost interest.
"Brother, how can a small county town compare to Shengjing?" Jun Lie took the initiative to suggest: "Why don't we go to the Jinjiang River embankment and take a look?"
"Third brother, are you really going to the dike?" The prince leaned back on the cushions and looked at Jun Lie's serious expression. He said, "Don't worry, the dike has been repaired. We are just going through the motions."
Jun Lie frowned and asked in a low voice: "Brother, then, then are we not even going to the Jinjiang River Dike?"
"Look at what you have done, how can you still look like a prince?" The prince looked at Jun Lie with a flash of contempt in his eyes. The prime minister's grandfather said that the third prince might have other thoughts. Now it seems to him that he can't even fight for it. He is so timid as a rat that he doesn't dare to do it.
"I just asked someone to book the best Chunfenglou in the county. How about we two brothers have a drink? It's perfect. After that, we can go boating on the lake." After the prince said this, he didn't give Jun Lie any chance to refuse and took Jun Lie directly to Chunfenglou.
"Listen to my eldest brother." Jun Lie responded.
The carriage stopped along the way.
"Little girl, can you tell my daughter: I hope your eyes will get better soon?" A woman's voice sounded, and she continued: "As long as you say one word, I will give you a penny."
There was anxiety in the woman's voice.
"Is this a new trick in Donglin County?" The prince listened to the voice and asked curiously, "Zhongyan, go and find out."
"Yes." Zhongyan responded and quickly went to inquire. He replied, "Master, the woman's daughter's eyesight has gone blind for unknown reasons. The woman consulted a fortune teller, who said that if a hundred people could gather their blessings, the blessing of an octogenarian and the blood of their relatives, their eyesight could be healed."
"Isn't this nonsense?" The prince couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. "If this can cure eyes, then there will be no more blind people, right?"
The carriage continued to move forward. There were still many people at Hua Qing's fortune-telling stall on the roadside. Even one or two taels of silver could not stop Hua Qing's accurate predictions!
"Third brother, do you believe it?" The prince asked as he looked at Hua Qing who was surrounded outside. Next to him was a huge fortune-telling flag fluttering in the wind.
Jun Lie took a look, his gaze fell on Hua Qing, and replied: "Letter."
"Third brother..." The Crown Prince looked at him, speechless. He let the carriage continue on its way to Chunfeng Tower and boarded a pleasure boat. The scenery outside was picturesque, and the Crown Prince was in a very good mood. He said, "Second brother favored a courtesan and was reprimanded by the Emperor. Was it you who did this?"
"Brother." Jun Lie looked anxious.
"Well done." The Crown Prince patted his shoulder and praised him. He snorted coldly, "Second brother doesn't even take me seriously on weekdays. He thinks that just because his mother is the Imperial Consort and controls the six palaces, she can surpass me, the Crown Prince? I'm not dead yet!"
"I am glad that your Majesty has reprimanded him and put him under house arrest this time." The prince looked at Jun Lie with admiration.
"Brother, I, I just want to go out with you." Jun Lie took the initiative to admit it, showing goodwill, and said: "Brother is the crown prince, and he is also the eldest son. Second brother..."
Jun Lie hesitated to speak. The prince was very interested and sat up straight and asked, "So, you want to stand on my side?"
"My elder brother is the crown prince appointed by our father. Of course I have to stand on the side of the crown prince." Jun Lie stated.
"You're also a prince, but haven't you ever thought about that position?" The prince looked at him with a sharp gaze. As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Lie stood up excitedly and saluted the prince, saying, "Brother, please stop making fun of me."
"Hahaha~" The prince's hearty laughter echoed far away. He pulled Jun Lie up, sat beside him and said, "Third brother, as long as you follow me, I will definitely ensure that you will be rich and prosperous in the future."
"Brother, can I go out for a walk? Shengjing is not suitable for me." Jun Lie said immediately.
The smile in the prince's eyes deepened, and he agreed immediately, saying, "Okay."
Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, and they are happy.
After returning to the county government house and separating from the prince, Jun Lie immediately asked, "Is Guo Yang back?"
"Not yet." Lan Ying shook his head and asked, "Do you have something to ask Guo Yang?"
"Guo Yang is back, report to me immediately." Jun Lie stood in front of the window. The prince would believe his statement today, but the prime minister would definitely not. However, it didn't matter, there was still a long way to go.
"Master, I've found out that the fortune teller is indeed Miss Hua Qing who is by Miss Xiao's side. Not only her, but also Miss Luo Kui is there. However, Miss Xiao is not there." When passing by Hua Qing's stall, Jun Lie understood with just one look.
He found an excuse and kept following Master Hua Qing. He was still wondering why his master asked him to follow this master. When he found out that this fortune-telling master was Hua Qing in disguise, he was completely shocked!
The master's eyes are so sharp!
