Tan Manxing thought of Tong Leren's attire when they first met, and said with certainty.
"Don't worry, it's what you're good at."
She said leaning in and whispering quickly in his ear.
As Tong Leren listened, his expression changed from curiosity to pride and excitement.
"I'm good at this, just leave it to me and I guarantee it will be done perfectly!"
Haha, this childish guy finally has a place to use his skills.
Tan Manxing looked at Tong Leren who was showing off, blinked strangely and went to the bed to rest.
After lying down, she didn't pay attention to Tong Leren who was sleeping outside. She took out the little golden toad given by Master Tan from her arms and played with it thoughtfully.
In addition to looking for clues about the red-faced man, she was also privately investigating what her master had told her.
Now she had arrived in Xiangzhen, but she had no idea what her master wanted.
The master said that this thing would help her find the right direction, but it has been almost half a month and there has been no sign of this golden toad.
With doubt in her heart, she carefully put the golden toad into her arms, closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep.
Perhaps this matter can also start from County Magistrate Li?
Early the next morning.
Tong Leren left Li's house on the pretext of helping Tan Manxing buy something.
After he left, he walked along the street for a while to make sure no one was following him, then quickly slipped into an alley, and when he reappeared, it was from the street in the distance.
He also changed from his maid's attire back to his previous Taoist attire.
This time he even had some fake beard on his face to increase the people's trust.
Soon he was carrying an old flag, stroking his false beard, and staggering into the main street.
The flag has bold black letters on a yellow background, and the big word "fortune telling" can be seen from a distance.
He was dressed in a gray robe and waving a flag while speaking in an old voice.
"Fortune telling! Fortune telling for marriage, fortune telling for luck and fortune, fortune telling for the future."
He walked and shouted, and soon came to a corner.
He didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not. He sat down on the spot, spread out the package on his body, placed the abacus, astrolabe, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it, and then sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.
For a moment, it seemed that there was something in that aura.
Soon, many pedestrians gathered on the roadside to look at what was happening.
Soon, one of the hesitant ladies walked up to him and sat down under the constant shouting of Tong Le Ren.
"Master, can you help me see how long it will take for me to get pregnant?"
The aunt was also at her wit's end. She had seen many doctors over the years, but she just couldn't get pregnant, which made her very worried.
It was a rare occasion for an old Taoist priest to pass by their place, so she wanted to give it a try even though she was shy.
When Tong Le Ren heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
How could he do that!
But he still had to open his eyes with a calm expression.
He looked around and saw so many people gathered around him without him noticing when, and he almost jumped up in fright.
Fortunately, he still remembers his personality.
"Please sit down."
He stroked his beard and spoke.
"Birthdate."
He waited for the aunt to sit down, picked up the astrolabe and began to ask questions.
After getting the last number, he recalled what his grandfather taught him and started to play it.
That focused expression made everyone around who was watching the fun subconsciously hold their breath.
"Brother Zhou, do you think Brother Tong can really tell fortunes?"
How could Tan Zhi be absent when there was something exciting to watch, even though she was called out by Tan Manxing to cover for her.
Both of them were real faces, and no one could have imagined that they were serving food and sweeping the floor in the county magistrate's mansion yesterday.
Tong Leren made a rough calculation and asked someone to bend down and ask some questions in a low voice. During this time, he quietly placed his fingers on her wrist.
After traveling all over the country for so many years, he still knows a little bit about medicine.
Confirm that the woman is just suffering from some physical damage.
He stroked his beard and spoke.
"Female donor, your blessings are yet to come. Remember not to overwork yourself. Drink lotus seed soup for three consecutive years, and your wishes will surely come true."
"Really! Thank you, Taoist Priest. I'll definitely keep it in mind. How much does it cost, Taoist Priest?"
When Aunt Li heard the word "zi", she was overjoyed.
Tong Le Ren: Uh, this thing just replenishes qi and blood.
"Female donor, fortune telling requires a good connection, so I won't charge you any money."
It was not until this moment that Aunt Li felt that Tong Le Ren was a true master.
Tong Le Ren: I haha.
Seeing that there was such a good deal to be had, the people around all crowded over to beg Tong Le to help them calculate.
Tong Leren saw that his stall was about to be squeezed out, so he decisively cut in.
"Dear donors, fate can only be encountered, and this old Taoist priest won't charge you if it's not fate."
This statement successfully scared away more than half of the people.
The other half watched hesitantly, reluctant to spend the money in their pockets.
Looking at the situation, Tan Zhi pulled Zhou Yixuan and squeezed over.
"Master! Master! Please help me calculate my marriage fate."
Tong Le Ren was worried about how to sing this play, and when he saw Tan Zhi coming over to join, he decisively chose her.
"Please take a seat, lady."
The two of them were whispering, seemingly telling fortunes, but actually exchanging information.
"Donee, there is a destiny in the dark. Wherever the stars lead, that is when destiny emerges."
Looking at Tong Leren who spoke in a very eloquent way, Tan Zhi actually thought for a moment that he could tell fortunes.
"Thank you, Master. I understand!"
She shouted exaggeratedly, left a silver ingot and left.
Tong Leren watched Tan Zhi leave like that, and wanted to call him but was worried that it would be against his status.
What he didn't finish saying was that her love life in the horoscope was indeed a bit tortuous.
"Forget it, forget it, feelings can't be forced."
Zhou Yixuan, who was still standing there, had his eyes slightly changed when he heard this, but he just turned around and left silently.
Tong Leren ignored it and continued stroking his beard like an old fortune teller.
He kept the stall for three days, occasionally giving it to a few people for free, but charging three cents for most of the time.
Because the money was not much, and he was very good at speaking.
For a time, he became a famous fortune teller in Xiangzhen.
The name of Master Tong finally reached the ears of County Magistrate Li.
That day, Tong Le Ren continued to carry his fortune-telling flag to his old position.
This time, several guards were waiting here early.
"Master, my master wants to invite you for a visit."
Tong Leren saw that the fish had taken the bait, touched his beard and shook his head to refuse.
"Even if your master has great abilities, I won't go. Can't you do it yourself when you ask someone to do something for you?"
He glanced at the people in front of him, closed his eyes and meditated quietly.
The guard looked at Tong Le Ren's bad attitude and quickly bent down to apologize.
"Master, my master is willing to pay one hundred taels of silver."
Tong Le cursed the evil powerful people in his heart, but his face remained calm and motionless.
