Lu Cijiu glanced at the queue outside. There were guest stars from the variety show "Jing", Master Ma Wencai and several experts from last night, as well as official people.
Surprisingly, people still lined up in an orderly manner, and there was no queue-jumping.
The stars arrived the earliest and may have a favorable position as they are all in the same hotel.
No, it’s understandable that Duan Wei came to see him, but why did those three senior people come too?
It's understandable that an official representative from Kyoto Gaoren came here, Lu Cijiu thought.
The three-person team of Dou Qinglan bought amulets to seek peace of mind, especially Duan Wei, who couldn't sleep the whole night, and her agent's assistant was guarding the room.
Lu Cijiu didn't know that after he fell asleep, in Gong Xichao's eyes, these people were insignificant trivialities, so they were all turned away. No one could even knock on the door. They could only wait patiently until the next morning and wait for Master Lu to wake up. Who knew that so many people would come in a while, so they simply lined up.
The three veteran stars who invited the household spirits came to ask Master Lu for help/choices. Shi Qing, for example, wanted to ask Master Lu what she would choose. She still liked her current boyfriend very much. Although her boyfriend was about to go bankrupt and was a fake rich man, they had a good relationship and she felt that her boyfriend was quite reliable.
She's 33 now, neither too old nor too young. Having a child is rare, so she doesn't really want to abort it. She just wants to ask Master Lu: Is there any hope for her boyfriend's career? Can he make a comeback in the future? Should she sacrifice her career for marriage and having children?
Shen Wenguan was here just to accompany the cast. It was revealed that he had hemorrhoids, which was not a good thing to say, but he is not a young and popular actor. He relies on his acting skills and works to speak for himself. If he doesn't shoot action scenes, he can just shoot another script.
The most anxious and worried person in the room was probably the actor who was exposed for being a gigolo and cheating on his wife, who had begged Master Lu to "change his fate." His wife had already argued with him on the phone the previous night and threatened to divorce him and leave the house.
As for the other masters, they came to test Gong Xichao's true identity.
"Master Lu, Master Lu, please save me."
“Master Lu, look at me first.”
"What's wrong with you, Sun Hao? You are behind me, don't cut in line." Shi Qing directly called him out.
Sun Hao is the male star who cheated on his wife.
I used to give Sun Hao face, thinking he was a good man. He was quite graceful and well-behaved when recording the show together. Shi Qing and Sun Hao's wife were also on good terms with him. I didn't expect him to be such a scumbag.
Sun Hao's face darkened and he glanced at Shi Qing. Shi Qing lifted her hair and rolled her eyes, but ignored him. Who was afraid of whom? She relied on her status and strength, and was not inferior to Sun Hao. It was not to the point where she had to depend on Sun Hao's mood for her livelihood.
"Everyone, stop arguing. There are too many people here. Let's go to the hotel buffet and follow the numbers, okay? Is that okay?" Lu Cijiu asked.
The numbers were already arranged in Chengdu. Even if everyone wanted to jump the queue and throw money at Master Lu (that's what Sun Hao thought), when they saw the cold-faced assistant beside Master Lu, they all fell silent, lined up in an orderly manner, and went to the restaurant in a mighty procession.
It was already half past nine and the hotel's breakfast buffet was gone.
But after Lu Cijiu, a large group followed him. They included people with fame and status in the Kyoto metaphysics circle, some who were well-known in the entertainment and traffic circles, and some officials in military uniforms. They directly called out the hotel manager and politely said that the hotel kitchen would continue to serve some meals, as it was neither early nor late at night.
The hotel manager will deal with it by closing the hotel and letting these people take over the restaurant.
In the morning, any extra porridge, soy milk, etc. will be served first.
Everyone took their numbers and sat down in scattered groups. Even if the stars had already eaten in the morning and were too anxious to eat, they still held a cup of unsweetened soy milk and waited for Master Lu to call their number.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Cijiu smiled slightly and gave the porridge to the children first.
"We only have red bean porridge and pumpkin porridge. What else do you want?"
Dudu covered his belly and said in a baby voice, "Bao Bao."
"Meat buns." Tail added while licking his lips.
The kitten said slowly: "Diao Jiao."
"Shrimp dumplings!" Dalong added.
Okay. Take some meat buns, shrimp dumplings, and steamed buns.
"I'll get it." Gong Xichao stood up quickly and strode to the food counter.
Lu Cijiu noticed that the metaphysical masters in Kyoto were staring at Boss Diao with burning eyes. When Boss Diao gave them a cold look, the Taoist priests and monks all lowered their heads, some drinking soy milk and some tasting porridge.
"This soy milk is good, Master Zhaokong, try it."
"Master Changqing, you're too polite. Please try this porridge."
A harmonious atmosphere.
Gong Xichao brought the dinner tray over and placed it on the table. The cubs ignored the people waiting in the restaurant. Their stomachs were growling with hunger. They wiped their hands clean. Wei Ba first pinched his favorite meat bun and placed it on the dinner tray. He then took Hu Sanniang out of his arms and placed her on the table.
"Auntie, eat steamed buns. They are so delicious with the meat inside." Weiba likes Hu Sanniang very much.
Hu Sanniang: ...They have all become spirits and have long lost the habit of eating food. But seeing the little tail trying hard to sell Amway, Hu Sanniang held the bun steadily with her two front paws and started to gnaw on it with her little mouth.
It’s really good.
Master Ma Wencai in the distance: ...
This fox was definitely Hu Sanniang. Master Ma found it incredible. He was a spirit medium, dedicated to the worship of the family spirit, and he hadn't recognized Sanniang yesterday. But he looked at the little fox again, and saw it munching on a bun with a simple look on its face. It didn't look like the pampered Hu Sanniang he had respectfully invited and only agreed to help after the incense tower offered him many good words.
Hu Sanniang was said to have a good temper, but that was because she was the more approachable of the five deities enshrined by Master Ma. In reality, all deities had tempers, like Hu Sanniang, who was known for her nagging, flattery, and sternness. She would usually use an exquisite incense table and incense burner.
As a result, now I have a hotel plate and a bun to eat by myself.
Master Ma's mentality is a little broken.
What's wrong with him?
This Lu Cijiu farewell party was almost missing a boss. But Lu Cijiu had no idea that Master Ma had lost his temper, and he was still glaring at their table with a sour, jealous look. There were so many eyes staring at them in the restaurant that Master Ma's gaze drowned them out.
Lu Cijiu had almost finished his meal and told the cubs to eat slowly and not to eat too much. He told Boss Diao about this and asked his eldest son to supervise and watch over them.
He went to an empty table, and the director, who was very perceptive, asked directly, "Has Master Lu started calling numbers yet?"
"Okay. The first one—" Lu Cijiu saw that it was Dou Qinglan and said, "If you have nothing to do, give up your seat."
I have the amulet, but now is not the right time to chat because the official is still here.
Dou Qinglan also knew this and said, "Brother Lu, I will be your assistant—"
There is murderous intent!
Lu Cijiu looked at Dou Qinglan with a half-smile. "Little Dou, you're so bold, daring to challenge Boss Diao." Dou Qinglan didn't want to be an assistant, he wanted to hear gossip. Sensing the murderous intent, he immediately said, "Brother Lu, you go ahead and do your work. I'm not worthy of being an assistant. I'm going to eat first. I haven't had anything this morning yet."
Tell lies with open eyes.
Dou Qinglan rolled aside to eat, and went back to the hotel to rest, which was so boring.
The second is Shi Qing.
"Master Lu, you heard the recording of the program in the courtyard yesterday. I want to ask if what Huang Daxian said is true?"
Lu Cijiu nodded.
Knowing this, Shi Qing was not too disappointed when she got the answer, and immediately asked what she was thinking. Lu Cijiu did not answer first, but said, "One hundred thousand."
Fortune-telling requires payment. The money should be donated after the old one. Now that the institute is doing better, the money earned from fortune-telling cannot be used for personal use.
Shi Qing took out her cell phone without saying a word and transferred 100,000 yuan to Master Lu.
"You are destined to have few children. If you abort this one, you will have to wait until you are forty-seven to have another one."
Shi Qing is thirty-three this year. If she really has to wait until she is forty-seven to give birth again, it would be very difficult.
"Master, do you mean that I don't need to abort this baby and can marry the baby's father?"
"I don't have any suggestions. I'm telling you what I calculated. It's up to you to decide." Lu Cijiu finished reading Shi Qing's face. "Give me your hand, and a photo of your boyfriend."
Shi Qing immediately pulled out a photo of the two of them on her phone.
"Sure enough." Lu Cijiu said lightly.
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat. "Master, is he not well?"
"Your face shows constant peach blossoms, but they're not in the right position. Your relationship has been rather bumpy. The right peach blossoms don't appear until you're thirty-five, but you missed it." Lu Cijiu said this with certainty, "You originally wanted to marry your boyfriend, have children, and temporarily retire from the entertainment industry, right?"
Shi Qing had already understood the implication of Master Lu's words and nodded. "Yes. I did try to get along with him first because he was rich, but after getting to know him for a long time, I felt that he was a good person with a good personality. Now, even though I know he is almost bankrupt and is a fake rich man, I hesitated, but I still can't bear to let him go. I want to give Bao Bao a home and give him a chance."
"Master Lu, is he not feeling well?"
So according to her original idea, when she was 35 years old, her ideal romantic opportunity came, but she missed it because she got married.
"He doesn't have a good-looking face, has a bad temper and is easily impulsive. He also has some special hobbies in that area." Lu Cijiu said implicitly.
Shi Qing frowned, "Aben is usually very patient, especially kind to children. He's also very gentle in bed. I haven't noticed any strange sexual fetishes."
Lu Cijiu listened to Shi Qing's words without explaining, thinking that she didn't believe him. Then he heard Shi Qing decisively say, "Master Lu, I believe you. What's a single mother like? I can handle it. Thank you, Master Lu. This bastard won't compete with me for custody of the child, right?"
"Someone who will use the custody rights as an opportunity to extort money from you and ruin your reputation." Lu Cijiu said.
"Haven't I heard these words enough? It doesn't matter." Shi Qing lifted her hair and became charming again. She had made a decision in her heart and was no longer as hesitant, entangled and uncertain as before.
Shi Qing is known for her stunning looks and straightforward personality. Rumors abound that Shi Qing is arrogant and domineering, with a chaotic private life and various illicit affairs with men. Whenever she gets resources, she's rumored to have slept with the investor, among other things.
The entertainment industry is very unfair to female stars.
If a person is positioned as beautiful and sexy, he or she must be bold and uninhibited, and his or her status depends entirely on sleeping with others.
Shi Qing made her decision, thanked Master Lu, and left. She was ready to break up. After hearing what Master Lu said, she suddenly understood. She now thought her boyfriend was a jerk. Since the company had been in trouble for a long time, why did he keep it a secret from him and even said he wanted to get married?
Isn't this a marriage fraud?
Trash.
Without the director calling his number, seat number three, Sun Hao, hurried over to take his seat.
"Master, what should I do? My wife already knows. Will my future career be ruined? Is there any hope for me?"
Lu Cijiu was very cold towards Sun Hao. He took out his cell phone and raised the price.
"Two hundred thousand."
Sun Hao finished sweeping.
Lu Cijiu said, "Ask your wife for forgiveness, then reform yourself, and issue a statement to the outside world, saying that you had improper relationships with the two actresses——"
"What are you talking about? If I really do this, I'm done!" Sun Hao interrupted hurriedly, wiping his sweat and complaining anxiously, "There's no other way!"
Lu Cijiu: "You want a divorce."
"Of course. That tigress has a bad temper. She usually treats me like a dog at home and likes to order me around in public. She is ten years older than me and has a bad temper. Her family is rich, but it is not all her credit that I have made it to where I am today in the entertainment industry. She always says that she is the one who owes me all this. I've had enough of her. I don't believe that I can't make it in the entertainment industry without her." Sun Hao muttered, and finally gave himself confidence.
Lu Cijiu searched for Sun Hao and his wife. His wife was the daughter of a shareholder of an entertainment company. They had been married for fifteen years and had a son and a daughter. They always appeared as a loving couple in public events and activities. Sun Hao always acted like a gentleman who doted on his wife.
"Your wife has a stronger face."
"Yeah, yeah, I've been married to her for fifteen years, I'm really fed up with it." Sun Hao continued to complain.
Lu Cijiu interrupted coldly, "But your wife paved the way for you, fought for resources, gave birth to children, and managed your household and your career. She may be strong on the outside, but she's kind on the inside."
The two children were taught to be upright, kind and polite.
This shows that the mother who takes care of the child is very attentive.
Sun Hao came here seeking recognition, not wanting to hear Lu Cijiu say good things about his wife. He impatiently said, "I've been married to her for so long. If it weren't for you, you wouldn't know her temper. I came to you to find a solution. I wanted to ask you if I could continue to be popular after the divorce, if I could surpass my previous status in the industry. Didn't I ask you to talk nonsense? Didn't you give me 200,000 yuan for free?"
No one is perfect; everyone has temper flaws, especially when living together. Friction is inevitable, especially when married couples are together. But Sun Hao now attributes all the reasons for his infidelity to his wife's bad temper, age, and dominance, hoping everyone will understand his difficulties and that infidelity is human nature.
Pooh!
"I see that you have a bad temper too. You are so arrogant even though you are living off your wife. You look like a rat. You are old, but you still think you are a handsome and elegant young man? You are a scum who cheated on your wife. Get out of here. I don't want to let you go." Master Lu also has a temper.
Sun Hao was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, his face flushed and neck thick, pointing at the road and saying goodbye.
"You fake master, I thought you had some real skills. Give me back my money. I'd rather feed the dogs than give it to a liar."
Lu Cijiu sneered and wanted to return the money after listening to it, "Do you know that I run a black shop?"
There was a quarrel here, and the whole restaurant watched silently and watched.
Dou Qinglan was ready to go up and protect the emperor. He had heard about Sun Hao from the program crew. He didn't expect that such a decent person would dare to shout here.
Of course, the one who was faster than Dou Qinglan was Assistant Gong.
No one noticed, but in an instant, Assistant Gong was beside Master Lu. Standing over 1.9 meters tall, he looked down at Sun Hao, who claimed to be 1.8 meters tall but was actually 1.75 meters tall, and asked coldly, "You want money?"
Lu Cijiu snorted, "That's him, it's all settled, and he still asks me for money."
"Kill him." Gong Xichao burst out with murderous intent.
Lu Cijiu didn't stop him, but he didn't say anything either. The two of them just stared at Sun Hao. Sun Hao was so scared that he almost peed himself. He kicked the chair and shouted, "Mad man, psychopath."
"Brother Gong, let's fight him!"
Gong Xichao was disgusted by his dirty hands and waved his hand. Sun Hao, who had originally been planning to run away after his tantrum, found that he could not leave. Not only that, his hands became uncontrollable and he slapped himself on the cheek.
Suddenly there was a red slap mark.
It was so loud that the onlookers covered their faces silently, but the eyes of several masters sitting at a nearby table lit up, and they all looked at Gong Xichao respectfully.
I saw this guy taking action again.
It was dark last night and I felt dizzy, so I didn’t see how Mr. Gong fought at all.
The only sound in the restaurant was Sun Hao slapping himself in the face.
Finally, the redness and swelling were unbearable, so Lu Cijiu said, "Forget it."
Sun Hao regained control of his hand, but he twitched twice due to inertia. Shocked and frightened, he ran out and shouted at the door, "Just wait, Lu Cijiu, I'll see if I can't kill you."
"Then let me give you one last word. After the divorce, you will be ruined and will never be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. Everyone will despise you, and you will be left alone when you grow old."
Sun Haoxin was surprised. He thought to himself that he didn't believe that he couldn't find another master. Lu Cijiu was ungrateful and really thought that he was a master who couldn't help him. If that didn't work, he would go to Thailand to ask for help from a little ghost.
I don’t believe that in the entire circle, Lu Cijiu is the only useful person.
After that, the speed increased. Duan Wei and the young man bought amulets. The key point is Duan Wei. Although the black dragon was beaten back to a hundred years of cultivation, he succeeded in asking for the title, and he did owe Duan Wei karma. Either he killed the black snake and ended this karma.
But Lu Cijiu would not let Gong Xichao kill the black snake just because of Duan Wei and owe him a small debt.
I can only give Duan Wei a buff version of the amulet.
Painted with his blood.
"Be sure to keep it close to you, and contact me if you have any questions."
"Okay, thank you Master Lu." Duan Wei had serious dark circles under her eyes. She held the amulet in her hands as if it were a treasure and thanked him repeatedly.
The director and staff of the program team all prayed for amulets and left the restaurant satisfied. The director asked Master Lu if the program could be broadcasted without any problems, but there were some minor problems.
Later, someone from the official team came to take over the master tape. The director was very nervous, but when he thought of Master Lu's comments, he felt relieved. Sure enough, the master tape was returned two days later, but there was a part that needed to be "modified".
Not to mention that the finale of the show was a huge hit, especially the locals in Kyoto said that the filming of the Locking Dragon Well was really exaggerated. There were lightning and thunder that day, and the elderly in the family said that there was a dragon undergoing a tribulation, and the microscopic bridge on the Locking Dragon Well was split open.
That’s a stone bridge!
This proves that dragons really exist.
Now, the restaurant's star director team left first with tact, and several other masters came over to introduce themselves to each other. Master Ma Wencai was also there.
It was already noon, and Lu Cijiu didn't want to delay any longer. After eating, he wanted to take the kids for a walk and play for a while. There was a heavy rain last night, and it looked like the sky was going to break, but today was a sunny day. Since we were already in Kyoto, it would be a shame not to visit the Forbidden City.
"Is everyone okay?"
Taoist Priest Chang Qing of Qingyang Temple first glanced at Gong Xichao, thought it over, and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, what is Mr. Gong's true form? I'm sorry."
"I told you." Lu Cijiu didn't understand what was so interesting about this question and said incredulously, "Could it be that everyone came to me today to ask this?"
Others: ...It’s true.
Lu Cijiu said seriously, "I'm not lying, everyone. If you don't believe me, don't talk about Diao Peng—"
"Who doesn't believe it?" Gong Xichao raised his chin slightly and scanned the masters coldly.
It feels like "Let me see who told me to be a eagle". I didn't have time to take revenge last night, and these guys came to my door today, looking like they want to be beaten to death.
Lu Cijiu said: "No, no, no, the masters are too old to do it."
"No matter how big you are, you are still bigger than me." Gong Xichao snorted coldly.
Lu Cijiu: "No one is older than you, no one is older than you, you are the greatest."
Master Ma looked strange, feeling that Lu Cijiu and Gong Xichao were colluding to say something obscene, and openly looking down on them for being so young. But perhaps he was overthinking it.
Ma Wencai saw several Taoist monks wiping their sweat and repeatedly admitting that Mr. Gong was the oldest and they were all smaller.
It’s very…
Never mind, he must be overthinking it.
After seeing off the experts, they exchanged WeChat accounts and created a small group called "Kyoto Family." When Lu Cijiu saw the name, he felt the netizens' complaints, which were hard to describe. Ma Wencai also got his wish and, through his thick skin, squeezed into a position as one of the Kyoto experts.
What is lost in the evening may be gained in the morning.
The program team failed, but unexpectedly they became famous thanks to Master Lu.
The person from the military was very polite and said that he was sent by his superiors. If Master Lu wanted to go out and play during this period, he would drive and act as a guide.
Although it was a bit of a surveillance situation, he couldn't run away anyway, so he had a driver and didn't use him. Lu Cijiu was no pushover and readily agreed, saying, "Then let's go to the Forbidden City today."
The person sent by the military was wearing a uniform, was in his early twenties, and looked very energetic. I said you could just call him Xiao Wang.
The pups slept well yesterday. Their backpacks were filled with snacks and cakes. They ran happily with their little feet. It was time to go play~
Tail still held Hu Sanniang, stroked her fur, and said, "Auntie is going to play."
Hu Sanniang nestled comfortably in his arms, with her furry legs sticking out. Once she accepted the idea of being a pet, it felt pretty good. She would be held in her arms when she went out, her fur would be stroked when she was free, and she would be given food first. It was all pretty good.
So wonderful.
After finishing their work, the children can play. For the children, this is a benefit they have earned after "getting off work" based on their "ability", so of course they are very happy.
There were many of them, and Xiao Wang was driving a large car, a military jeep with military license plates. They arrived at the Forbidden City without any problems, bought their tickets, and entered. Xiao Wang asked, "Would you like a tour?"
"No need. If there's anything we don't understand, we can just catch a female ghost palace maid and ask her." Lu Cijiu said.
Xiao Wang: Huh???
"Really?"
Xiao Wang looked like his worldview was shattered, and then he tried hard to accept himself and reorganize himself, trusting Lu Ci's old duck.
Seeing that the other party really believed it, Lu Cijiu quickly said seriously: "No, no, this place has been a royal place since ancient times. Now there are so many people coming and going every day. The yang energy is strong, and ghosts are not sold wholesale. How can there be ghosts everywhere?"
Then I went in and got slapped in the face.
There are ghosts everywhere he goes.
