"Yes, Junior Brother is occasionally greedy and stealthily buys some candied haws and other snacks when he interprets the lot for others. Senior Brother, can you not be so discerning every time? He is so young, but he has to copy the scriptures several times. I feel sorry for him. Jade Axe has been quietly waiting outside the room every time. "
"Oh. Senior Brother almost forgot that Junior Brother is now your disciple's disciple in name. The three of you are very close. "
"Senior Brother, you are a little jealous, aren't you? Haha, I can't help it. Junior Brother has accepted a good disciple. "
"Junior Brother, aren't you supposed to be on duty today? How do you have time to chat with Senior Brother here? Copy 'Daoist Yi Shu' tonight. "
"Senior Brother! Then you should be striking the chime at this time! "
"Haha, I can't help it. Senior Brother is in charge of Wudang Mountain's commandments."
"…"

In front of the lot booth, Su Su and the other two had gone far away. Wei Miao was still in the distance. The enchanting Miao woman who had been married for a long time was sitting on the bench in front of the table in high spirits. She looked at the young lord who had begun to close the booth and said in a bad Central Plains official's accent, "Little handsome brother, do you also interpret the lot for me?"
Hsu Fengnian couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister, you have been married for many years. Why are you still asking for marriage?"
She said carelessly, "I can't help it. My man is not afraid of anything. He is just afraid that I don't want him. I don't have any thoughts. I just want to see if I married badly."
Wei Miao, who was short and average-looking, grinned. As a man, and one of the few martial arts grandmasters in Jianghu at that, his temper was really too good to be true.
Hsu Fengnian looked at the couple and said firmly, "No need to look. It must be a good lot!"
The Miao woman hesitated and finally gave up.
When Wei Miao left, he turned his head and looked deeply at Hsu Fengnian.
Hsu Fengnian naturally wouldn't take away the table and the stool. He also didn't intend to take the lot. Of course, there were a small mountain of copper coins, not a single coin less!
This was the life-saving money for him to make up for his mistakes.
At this moment, Hsu Fengnian was slightly stunned.
A young woman wearing a wooden hairpin and a cloth skirt slowly walked over. Even if her clothes were shabby, even if she didn't know any martial arts, her unique aura that seemed to be tainted with the arrogance of the Tian family could be seen at a glance.
She held a cloth bag in her arm, which was filled with golden persimmons that had just been picked from the trees.
Hsu Fengnian felt a headache coming on.
She was on Mount Wudang, while Gu Jiantang had just come up the mountain. Actually, it was not appropriate for either of them to meet each other.
One of them was a princess who had died of illness in the palace according to the history books of the imperial court. The other was a great pillar of the country who was loyal to the Zhao family of Li Yang.
It was none other than Princess Sui Zhu, Zhao Fengya. She was sitting on a bench that had already been closed, facing him.
Hsu Fengnian returned to his seat and helplessly asked, "Why are you here?"
She smiled indifferently and said, "Let's see if I can shake out the first lot."
Hsu Fengnian was about to speak when she continued, "Where did you hide it? Take it out, otherwise how can I shake it out?"
Hsu Fengnian shook his sleeve unabashedly, and a bamboo stick fell out.
She sneered and said, "You really know how to do business. Even if you can't become the King of Beiliang in the future, you can still hide in the Central Plains and become rich."
Hsu Fengnian chuckled and said, "Should I say that you have a crow's mouth, or should I say that I'm borrowing your auspicious words?"
She said with a cold face, "Lot cylinder!"
She was as arrogant as she was in the past.
Hsu Fengnian only cared about money and not people. "You have a hundred copper coins?"
She picked up a ripe persimmon from the cloth bag and put it on the table.
Hsu Fengnian widened his eyes.
It was not because of the arrogance of Princess Li Yang in the past.
It was because of the appearance of another princess behind Zhao Fengya.
It was just the princess of Da Chu in the past.
Zhao Fengya turned her head and glanced at her. "Oh, the female sword immortal who likes to fly around and show off her power has come."
Jiang Ni said unhappily, "It's none of your business."
For some reason, Jiang Ni felt that the culprit who had once destroyed her vegetable garden, even if she had become the Emperor of West Chu, even if she was now a female sword immortal, she still did not have the confidence to face Zhao Fengya, who was supposed to be a fallen phoenix who was inferior to a chicken.
In terms of fighting, when they first met, Zhao Fengya, the Princess Sui Zhu who was familiar with archery and horses, was slightly better. Now, Jiang Ni could probably beat down a thousand Zhao Fengyas. But the more this was so, the less Jiang Ni wanted to fight.
In terms of cursing, Jiang Ni was probably not Zhao Fengya's opponent in the past, present, and future.
Zhao Fengya said domineeringly, "First come, first served. I'll shake the lot first!"
Jiang Ni curled her lips, but she did not dare to say anything in response.
Hsu Fengnian sighed and put down the bamboo tube.
Zhao Fengya raised her head and said, "When shaking the lot, don't do anything!"
Hsu Fengnian rolled his eyes and waved his hand, indicating for Zhao Fengya to quickly shake the lot.
Zhao Fengya picked up the bamboo tube with one hand and casually turned it a few times. She gently tossed out a bamboo stick. She casually picked it up and glanced at it. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up. She turned her head to look at Jiang Ni, who was clearly much more nervous than she was, and heavily slapped down the bamboo stick.
She stood up and left, unkindly taking the persimmon with her.
Only when Zhao Fengya turned around did Jiang Ni sneakily pick up the bamboo stick.
Shock, grievance, resentment, and sadness appeared one by one on her devastatingly beautiful face.
In the end, she was on the verge of tears.
The confused Hsu Fengnian leaned over to take a look.
Hsu Fengnian somewhat understood Su Su's feelings.
It really was tit for tat!
The lot in Jiang Ni's hand was the lot that Zhao Fengya had casually shaken out.
"A good match? A celestial beauty. What more could a husband ask for? "
The first lot!
Hsu Fengnian pressed his hand to his forehead, speechless.
Alas, the copper coins that he had spent so much effort to obtain had been completely earned for nothing.
Hsu Fengnian could not help but be careful. He was afraid that this pitiful little mud person in front of him would also do the same "casually".
She only needed to lift her hand, and a [Great Liang Dragon Sparrow] would fly out of the red sandalwood sword sheath in the thatched hut!
Hsu Fengnian could not help but sigh, feeling sad.
She quickly threw the lot back into the bamboo tube like it was scalding her hand. Then, she turned her head and wiped her face. She turned her head again, not looking at Hsu Fengnian or the lot tube. She only stared at the mountain of copper coins. She asked in a soft voice, "You earned all of this in the afternoon?"
Hsu Fengnian who was filled with sorrow nodded his head.
Her tone suddenly became light. "How much?"
Hsu Fengnian said in a soft voice, "It's not a small amount. If it's converted to silver, it should be around a hundred taels."
Her eyes immediately lit up. Her originally dark and gloomy face was glowing.
She raised her head and asked in a probing voice, "It's all mine?"
Hsu Fengnian held back his laughter. "Of course."
Hsu Fengnian stood up and struck while the iron was hot. He gave Jiang Ni a large cloth bag that he had prepared earlier. "Help me hold the money, it's a bit heavy."
She nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice. She quickly stood up and walked around the table, standing beside him. She bent down and opened the bag with both hands. Her eyes were very serious, and her face was filled with anticipation.
Hsu Fengnian placed his elbow on the table and swept the money into the bag.
The copper coins on the table were squeezed together, and the copper coins in the bag were knocked together, making a clattering sound.
In the beginning, her smile was still reserved, but she did not hide it anymore.
His hands did not stop moving. He only secretly turned his head to look at the side of her face, looking at that dimple.
Being liked by someone was the most joyous thing in the world.
She did not look away as she said with a smile, "It's really heavy!"
Hsu Fengnian replied, "When we go back, I'll carry the bag."
She nodded her head and said, "En!"
