Now more and more shops do not close during the Chinese New Year, and open early after the New Year.
Wei Mian has scheduled the opening date for the tenth day of the first lunar month. Xin Xiaotong said that several people have called to make reservations during the New Year period. Many people want to calculate their fortune for the new year, or ask for some Feng Shui ornaments and talismans to attract wealth. Some even said that as long as it is made by Master Wei, price is not a problem.
This did remind Wei Mian, but she didn't want to run this business in a fortune-telling shop. Going to an antique shop was a good choice.
So the next day, Chen Dapeng came to Bishui Garden to meet with Wei Mian. After some discussion, it was still the same as before. Chen Dapeng would be responsible for purchasing Feng Shui ornaments, and Wei Mian would be responsible for consecrating and blessing them. The profits from the sales would be split 20% and 80% between the two.
Wei Mian wanted to split it 50-50, but Chen Dapeng refused no matter what, saying that he had already taken a lot of talismans and this was the most reasonable way to split it.
She also said that last time Wei Mian was introduced to someone selling vases, he made a lot of money, so she wouldn't dare take advantage of her in other ways.
Wei Mian noticed that his wealth palace was red as soon as he came in. He guessed that he had made a lot of money from the bottle, so he stopped refusing.
Whenever someone asked for relevant information later, Xin Xiaotong would directly recommend Chenji Antiques to them.
On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, an old customer called and asked Wei Mian to help take a look at his childhood friend, saying that the man had encountered some strange things.
Wei Mian had been eating and drinking at home these days, and thought that he couldn't continue to be so decadent. He was looking for something to do, so he readily agreed.
After the two men came in from the door, Wei Mian looked directly at the man sitting in the wheelchair. His limbs were now wrapped in thick yin energy.
As soon as Dong Chao entered the fortune-telling shop, although his limbs were still cold and stiff, he felt much more comfortable overall, and the feeling of being about to die was greatly weakened.
His pupils trembled. It seemed that the master of this family might really be a very capable person as his childhood friend Yang Xuefeng said.
Yang Xuefeng had been here before. At that time, he needed to choose between two jobs. Both of them attracted him, but he was not sure which one had better development prospects, so he came to the master to help calculate.
Although he spent 20,000 yuan on divination at the time, it was definitely useful. After he got to the new position, he showed his talents, and both the salary and status he got were incomparable to before.
The leader praised him highly for his outstanding performance and made it clear at the company meeting that he was a talent he had selected and would be placed in a more critical position in the future.
As for the person who chose another job, he only found out about it during a New Year's dinner with his former colleagues. He went there with full confidence, but was beaten badly by reality.
It turned out that there was a relative who was hindering him in every way and always opposed him in everything, so the new management measures he wanted to push through were completely impossible to implement.
But the leader would not think so. He would only think that he was incompetent and even considered firing him.
Yang Xuefeng understood his colleague's work ability. The two were on par with each other, but because they chose different branches, they had completely different experiences.
It was also because of this incident that he became extremely convinced of the idea of catching ghosts and fortune-telling. During the Chinese New Year, he wanted to have dinner with his childhood friend, and after meeting him, he found out that something strange had happened to him, so Yang Xuefeng hurriedly took him to see Master Wei.
Wei Mian nodded lightly to the two of them, then asked them to sit down and went straight to the point.
"This gentleman must have run into something unclean! It started about a month ago."
Wei Mian's tone was very certain, which made Dong Chao, who had already suspected that he was haunted by a ghost, feel like he had found a soulmate.
"Yes, yes, Master, I feel like my illness is strange. The hospital can't find anything wrong with me, but I don't understand why. I didn't kill anyone or set any fire, so why am I being haunted by a ghost?"
Dong Chao felt that he was particularly wronged. Although he didn't dare to say that he was a good person, he had never done anything bad. Sometimes he would even donate fifty or one hundred yuan to the poor sick people who had no money to treat their illnesses when he saw them on fundraising platforms.
So he felt that being haunted by a ghost was very unreasonable.
Wei Mian had seen Dong Chao's face since he met him. He knew that he was just an ordinary person. He lived a mediocre life without much success, but he also didn't suffer any major disasters.
The only characteristic of him is that he has downcast eyebrows and likes to take advantage of small things.
"I've observed the Yin energy in you, and it should have started about a month ago. Did anything special happen during that time?"
"No!"
Dong Chao said without hesitation.
Ever since he thought that the coldness in his hands and feet might be caused by a ghost, he thought about all the bad things he had done since he was a child, even remembering the time when he stole two cents from the podium when he was a child.
At that time, the two cents made him feel guilty for a long time. If he really killed someone, he would not know how long he would feel guilty!
"Tell me your birth date and I'll calculate it."
It is daytime now, and the ghost is not with Dong Chao, otherwise Wei Mian could ask the other party. Now he can only rely on calculations, but this is always not very detailed.
Dong Chao hurriedly told his birth date and time. Wei Mian lowered his eyes and calculated for a while, then opened his third eye to him.
A month ago.
That day, Dong Chao made an appointment with some friends to go fishing together. His newly bought fishing rod had arrived. It cost him half a month's salary, and he was just about to show it off to his fishing friends.
The group had agreed to meet at ten o'clock, but Dong Chao was anxious to try out his new fishing rod, so he went to the river where he often fished at around eight o'clock.
He set up the chair as usual, took out the red worms and mixed them into bait, glancing at the river while stirring.
Dong Chao quickly withdrew his gaze, but he suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly looked up at the river again.
What is that rose-red thing that is getting closer and closer to the shore?
The river spans more than 20 meters, and the water flow is relatively calm at the moment. There are several large reservoirs upstream, and the gates are opened to release water after every heavy rain.
Some smaller fish will be washed into the river below. Over time, the fish fry grow bigger and bigger, and more people come to fish.
Although it is called upstream, it is actually several kilometers away from the place where Dong Chao was fishing. The road is winding and one section is close to a residential area.
So occasionally some people without good deeds will throw their household garbage in, and it is not uncommon to see a plastic bag floating on the water.
But Dong Chao was sure that the rose-red thing was definitely not a plastic bag. Instead, it looked like something like clothing.
If that thing had just drifted away, Dong Chao would not have been curious, but it drifted near him and stopped.
Dong Chao looked around. Because it was the morning of a holiday, many people had the whole day to fish. Not many people came over at the moment, and the only person who was fishing was a few hundred meters away from here.
He swung out his fishing rod and hooked the rose-red object in two strokes, then pulled it closer little by little.
The thing was very heavy, but Dong Chao did not give up. After some effort, he finally pulled the thing to the shore.
But when he looked down, he found that it was a female corpse with her hands and feet chopped off!
