Chapter 350 Keeping a low profile is the best way to protect yourself
I stared at the dragon robe in front of me in amazement, thinking, is this shop owner really desperate to hang a dragon robe in the shop?
"Haha, this is a dragon robe that was custom-made for Puyi. It's a pity that he was chased off the dragon chair before he could put it on." The shop owner said with a smile, then turned around and walked into the back hall, taking me upstairs.
There were all kinds of cloth on the second floor hall, and several old men wearing gowns and reading glasses were measuring the sizes of two women.
The two women were in their 30s, both wearing cheongsams. Although their looks were not very stunning, they were very attractive and had a sense of nobility.
"Hey, shopkeeper, is this a new customer?" One of the women with a beauty mole on the corner of her mouth said with a smile: "You look unfamiliar, must this be your first time here?"
"Haha, you have good eyesight, this young man is indeed here for the first time, but his family is our old customer, since the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, they have been ordering clothes from us." The old man replied with a smile.
When the old man said this, the two women were startled, and all looked at me in amazement.
"No wonder, when this young man came in, I felt a sense of nobility." The woman reacted quickly, and after she finished speaking, she smiled and winked at me.
"Let's go, follow me to the third floor." The old man didn't say much to the others, and took me to the third floor.
Unexpectedly, the two women looked stunned and said, "Boss, you are a bit biased. We sisters have spent tens of millions of dollars here, but you didn't invite us to the third floor for a cup of tea."
"Next time, next time." The old man smiled and replied, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After that, he took me to the third floor quickly. However, when we went upstairs, I could feel that the two women's eyes were always on me. Obviously, they seemed to be very curious about my identity.
"Those two people...are they here to customize clothes?" I looked back and saw that the two women were still looking at me, so I couldn't help asking.
"Well, they are from Beijing. Their ancestors were all rich and powerful. Although they are down and out now, they still have a fortune of several billion." After saying that, the old man turned around and looked at me with a smile, and asked, "You just met them. Did you see anything?"
I didn't say anything, but carefully recalled the faces of the two women.
These two women have 90% similar faces, and they are obviously sisters from the same family.
One of the women has a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth. This beauty mole can be said to be a sign of wealth and prosperity, or a sign of prosperity for her husband. 7K妏敩
But this woman has a very shallow scar on her brow. In terms of physiognomy, the scar is like a knife hanging on her head, which hurts herself and also harms her husband.
The other woman has a pair of peach blossom eyes. She should have a lot of men around her. However, her lips are too thin and the corners of her mouth droop, which makes her look unlucky, especially her eyes always have a hint of spring light. Such a woman has a rich sex life, but is destined to be alone, especially when she gets older, her money will be cheated away and she will be left alone.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the old man smiled and said, "It seems that you have figured it out. Both of them are single. The woman with the beauty mole on the corner of her mouth was married a few years ago, but her husband died in a car accident, and she never found another husband after that. Her career has also been bumpy. Someone told her that Yunnan is her blessed land and she will meet noble people here, so she has been managing her business in Yunnan for these years. The other woman is the sister of the woman with the beauty mole on the corner of her mouth. The two of them opened a media company together. In Yunnan, they are also famous socialites."
At this point, the old man looked at me with a half-smile, and I frowned when I saw this, and then said, "My master only taught me the unsophisticated technique of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits and the way of talismans. The rest, my master didn't teach me at all."
"Haha." The old man laughed and stopped talking to me about this topic. Instead, he took me into a room on the third floor.
The entire third floor seemed to be a storage room with many single rooms. After the old man took me into a single room, he pressed on the wall of the single room.
A buzzing sound was heard, and the wall suddenly turned. Then, a larger single room appeared in front of me.
"It's just a clothing store, but there is a secret room?" I was a little surprised, and I felt more and more that this clothing store seemed not simple.
The old man walked into the secret room and stopped in front of a safe. After entering the password and fingerprint, the safe popped open with a "click".
When the safe popped open, a faint chill immediately spread out from the safe. I frowned, wondering what was in there, why was the chill so strong?
At this time, the old man took out a box from the safe. The box was made of alloy, about the size of a shoe box, with a combination lock and fingerprint lock on it, and the wisps of chill were spreading from the box.
"This is what your senior sister left for you." The old man put the box on the table and said, "But you can't open it now. After opening it, the essence will dissipate and the effect will be greatly reduced."
"What's in it?" I asked in astonishment.
"Your senior sister said that she can't tell you now. She can only tell you when your clothes are ready and you take this box out from here." The old man smiled mysteriously, and then locked the box back into the safe.
My mouth twitched when I heard that, and I thought to myself, since I can't take it away now, why did you hesitate for so long and bring me to the third floor?
But then, my face darkened.
Because I thought of the woman on the second floor again.
"Could it be that this old man...really wanted to connect those two women?"
I shook my head. No matter what happened to those two women, I couldn't help them now.
First of all, I don't have that ability yet.
Judging from their faces, they had not encountered any dirty things or any disasters, so the things they asked me to do must be related to Feng Shui.
Secondly, my identity is too special. Once the news that I am a descendant of a ghost is spread, there will be endless troubles. At that time, I can't live in peace.
Although this old man has no Taoist skills, he is really good at guessing people's hearts. Seeing my gloomy face, he probably guessed my thoughts and said with a smile: "Let's go. Some things cannot be forced before fate arrives. I will take you downstairs and come back in ten days."
I nodded and followed the old man downstairs quickly. I
didn't see the two women on the second floor. I didn't know if they went to try on clothes or had already left.
After leaving Lefuxiang, the old man said to me with a smile: "Young man, you have a long way to go in the world, you must take care of yourself, don't be like your master in the past, showing off your sharp edge. As the saying goes, if you are in the world, you will inevitably get hurt. You must know that keeping a low profile is the kingly way to protect yourself."
The old man looked like an outdoor expert. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with his crutches, leaving me standing alone in the wind with a confused look on my face!
