Chasing Tang Ji

Chapter 3 Little Master 2

Seeing that Lian Tang was in a daze, Steward Cao thought he couldn't remember, so he said, "The nine-petaled lotus and the crane are carved on this mutton jade pendant. The nine-petaled lotus is from Buddhism, but the crane is from Taoism. I'd rather put the two together." I haven’t seen it before, so I don’t know what it means. I asked Lu Xiucai that day, and he didn’t know what it meant. I thought, it’s a gift from the immortals, so I just need to keep it safe.”

Lian Tang turned the fairy sword and jade pendant over and over to look at them.

The so-called fairy in the body's memory is actually a scourge who stole persimmons. In the end, it was 'I' who won, but the scourge was so angry that he stabbed 'me' with a sword. What kind of character is this?

Hey, wait a minute, no, why did the wound heal so quickly?This unscientific!

However, although the wound has recovered, the owner of this body is still dead after all!

Lian Tang stared at the jade pendant fiercely, as if he wanted to pierce it with his eyes, "The scourge, you brought labor and capital here, don't let me know who you are, otherwise... read this book The young master can't kill you!"

It was the first time Steward Cao saw his young master's expression so fierce, he seemed to be a different person.

Was he really a fairy?Isn't it evil or something?

Steward Cao thought about it, and decided to invite a Taoist priest to take a look, but the family really couldn't afford any extra silver taels, and it would be hard enough just to pay for Lian Tang's schooling, so he had to give up.

Lian Tang quickly discovered this most practical question, and after asking, he found out that Steward Cao has now become a fruit farmer, selling persimmons and persimmon cakes for a living.

Butler Cao: "Master, let's cultivate for a few days. When you get better, you still have to go to school. You don't need to think about these trivial matters if you want to get a good reputation. After all, you can't do business. The master once explained..."

Lian Tang waved his hand to signal him to shut up: "The problem of food and clothing can't be solved, so what is there to learn!" But after thinking about it, this is a time and space that has no intersection with the known world, and the humanities, history, geography, etc. may be different.So you still have to learn, and you still have to learn what you should learn. For fame... save some money before going.

Lian Tang went to visit the Lingshuang Mountain every day for the past few days, and found that the persimmons were in harvest season, not only in his family, but in the entire Luoyi Village and even neighboring villages there were a lot of persimmon trees.Persimmons themselves are not expensive, and they are not worth much if they are sold.

Thinking of the fact that businesses in society now spend huge amounts of money on advertising for their products, these methods are not in vain, otherwise, are they waiting to starve to death?

So one day later, the story of Xiao Liantang's encounter with an immortal in Suoyi Village spread.

The story is true, but a few sentences have been added and deleted.There was no mention of a sword piercing the heart, but the jade pendant and the fairy sword were said to be tokens of love given to him by the gods!

Lian Tang knew that selling the jade pendant and fairy sword would certainly bring him a lot of money, but it was not a long-term solution after all. It would make a big difference if they were regarded as tokens of love!

In order to increase the credibility, he also specially visited Lu Xiucai and asked him to compose a doggerel now.

The proposed condition is that he will be paid [-]% after the bill is settled.

Xiucai's family is not rich, and money is needed for studying, buying books, buying pens, ink, paper and inkstones, major exams, and the daily expenses of the whole family. I heard that Sancheng has already moved his heart, but he insisted on holding his neck and not nodding because he was afraid of the gods.

Lian Tang said: "When the time comes, there will be a lot of people talking. Who knows that the rumors will change. You only need to write poems, and I will do the rest."

"Who is troubled by Lingshuang?

Bi is also crispy, and yellow is also nectar.

It's because the gods thought it was too crazy, evened the silver hook, and embellished it with golden autumn! "

As soon as this poem came out, it quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city.

Facts have proved that people's ability to gossip is not to be underestimated no matter where they are, but many people come to ask in a day.

Lian Tang nodded and admitted with a smile, he naturally greeted the eighteen generations of the evil ancestors in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on the surface.He also managed to turn everyone's attention to the persimmons in the back mountain.

Lian Tang said: "I don't sell those persimmons. He... likes to eat my persimmons very much, I have to keep them for him, besides, they are my matchmaker with him..."

He spoke in a whisper, turned his head and took a bite of the chili pepper, and when he turned his head to face the guests who were overwhelming the courtyard, his face was already flushed, and he looked very shy and affectionate. He said: "You can go and see, but, you must not pick."

This time and space is not good for Nanfeng, but if there is, no one will object, and there are many rich men among the three wives and four concubines, so everyone has no doubts about the fact that the gods have a crush on him as a man. Disagree.

"Little Master Lian, this is not acceptable. Persimmons are meant to be eaten. If you don't pick them off, they will rot on the tree or fall into the soil. At that time, they will be ruined. You have really failed the immortal's kindness to you! "

Lian Tang pretended to be surprised, and when he looked up, his eyes were full of tears.Although he is not very eye-catching, but he is still young, his handsome face is flushed with shame, and his whole body looks like a jade brick, which makes everyone's hearts melt. He asked foolishly: "What about that?" What can I do?"

Then a servant woman from a rich family snatched up and said: "I still have to sell it. Firstly, us ordinary people can enjoy the fairy spirit, and secondly, young master, you can also add some clothes. It's going to be winter soon. If you are froze, That fairy will feel distressed."

Butler Cao: "..."

He has been standing by with a dark face, Lian Tang is pretending to cry, but he is really crying.

If this matter is not done well, it will offend the gods in the sky. If it is punished by the sky, then I dare not think about it!

When he heard that Lian Tang wanted to do this, he tried to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade him.

"Young Master, don't you even want your name? When you grow up, you want to marry a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, but if this is the case, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want? Just pack up and marry yourself off!"

But even if you marry, you have to get married, 'With the token of love from the immortal', who would dare to ask for the young master!

Thinking of this, Steward Cao became even more mournful, and shed a few lines of tears uncontrollably.

A sharp-eyed guest looked at it and persuaded, "Isn't it, young master, it's not easy for the three of you, master and servant. Immortals live in the sky, so you don't know the suffering in the world. If you don't sell it, how will you live? You can still suffer!" Is it the day when the gods marry you?"

Lian Tang looked very embarrassed, he secretly hooked his fingers from behind, signaling Xiao Lang to come out.

Xiao Lang understood and was about to go forward to pour water for Lian Tang, but when his hand touched the teapot, he suddenly fell limply into Lian Tang's arms with a plop.

Everyone present: "...!"

Butler Cao: "..."

Lian Tang raised his hand indiscriminately and wiped his eyes with the sliced ​​ginger he had prepared in his sleeve, and immediately burst into tears: "Xiao Lang, are you sick? Wake up, Xiao Lang!"

Steward Cao carried Xiao Lang into the back of the house, and everyone sighed.

Lian Tang took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck and knelt down among the crowd, crying: "Please do me a favor, buy this jade pendant, I'm afraid that my school boy's illness will not be delayed..."

Hey, isn't this the nine-petal lotus crane mutton jade pendant bestowed by the gods in the rumors?That's a token of love, is it going to be sold?

Seeing that there is a door, everyone hurriedly persuaded them away: tokens of love cannot be sold, but persimmons can!

Lian Tang had a helpless expression, "But...but he likes to eat my persimmons, saying that persimmons are like nectar, and persimmon cakes are like cakes. If I sell them, he will lose them if he wants to eat them."

"I said Lian Xiaogong, I didn't mean you. How much can he eat with one mouth? You are still young and don't understand. In fact, it's all drunkards' intentions. What the immortals value is not persimmons, but persimmons. You!" said a fat servant woman.

Lian Tang looked confused: "...What wine? I'm talking about persimmons..." Lian Tang wiped his eyes, and realized for the first time that it's not bad to time travel as a child.

Everyone: "..."

Then someone answered and said, "I said, you kid, why can't you make any sense! It's about persimmons, you leave him a bag, and sell the rest. It's better if he thinks it's not enough, the more he thinks about it, the more he can't eat it." , the more I can’t eat, the more I think about it, and I’m not dead set on you, do you think so?”

Everyone nodded sharply.

Lian Tang was silent for a while, then nodded with a vague understanding.

Seeing that he had finally opened his mind, everyone rushed to pursue the victory: "You have to keep the jade pendant, if you sell it, the next time the immortal comes, I'm afraid you will be angry!"

"Yes!"

"You dare to sell it, but we ordinary people don't dare to buy it..."

After being persuaded by the crowd for a long time, Lian Tang seemed to be persuaded, he reluctantly said: "But, the price...I don't quite..."

This is agreed!

Everyone present was in a commotion, and they were going to grab it immediately. Everyone knew that the number of persimmons in his house was limited. Needless to say, there were not many persimmons left on the old persimmon tree that the gods enjoyed, and there were not many other trees in total. , They all scrambled to bid high prices.Lian Tang didn't say a word, and waited for the small yard to become an auction site.

But he took it as soon as he saw it was good, and stopped it in time when the persimmons were fried to a tael of silver each. After making the decision, he told everyone to deliver the goods in a day.

Cao Steward and Xiao Lang were dumbfounded as they watched the crowd leave happily.

But this is just the beginning.

According to his young master's instructions, after picking the persimmons, they carefully wrapped them in silk bags one by one, put them in bamboo baskets covered with petals, and tied them with bright red silk ribbons in a strange way. The young master said it was a gift box.

Not only that, they even wore the same style of robes when delivering the goods, escorted them with gongs and drums all the way, and did not forget to read a bunch of auspicious words when they were delivered to the door of the nobleman's mansion, which made Steward Cao overwhelmed.

The nobles were very surprised, and gave enough rewards when they were happy, and some even gave the deposit for the next year's nectar and doughnuts.

Steward Cao looked at the large bags full of silver taels and thought it was a dream.

"Father, you have received so much deposit, so will there be so many persimmons to sell next year?" Xiao Lang asked casually.

Butler Cao suddenly woke up: "Master, I was so confused for a while, I didn't expect this..."
