The whole family, including the dog, is a villain.

Chapter 34: Fortune Telling at a Stall

"..."

Jun Huanzhi pointed at the perfectly deboned chicken leg bone and said seriously, "I'll give it back to you!"

"The bones you have gnawed would keep a dog silent!"

"..."

Jun Huanzhi sighed and said helplessly, "You're out of money so soon?"

"if not?"

Shi Jin spread his hands helplessly: "If I had money, would I come to you?"

"You still know that you are a subordinate?"

Jun Huanzhi's face was somewhat gloomy: "If someone didn't know, they would think you were my ancestor!"

"Don't say that."

Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "Those who owe debts are ancestors. You are my real ancestor now!"

"Then why do you let your ancestors go out to work and earn money? You are really filial!"

Having said that, Jun Huanzhi did not refute.

Life is not easy, Your Majesty sighed.

"Where's Xiaoqi?"

"My subordinate is here."

A young man in costume and with oil paint on his face came out of the tunnel.

Jun Huanzhi quickly pulled him up and asked, "You went to the theater again?"

"Yes."

Xiao Qi smiled and took out a handful of change from his pocket.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Xiao Qi is the weakest among the ten secret guards. He cannot practice martial arts at all. He only learned bone shrinking and ventriloquism from his master and performed on the streets. Later, he was picked up by Jun Huanzhi and used as a substitute.

Since Jun Huanzhi was too poor, and Xiaoqi was a good boy who knew how to be grateful, he was not only good at ventriloquism, but also had a great voice. So when Jun Huanzhi didn't need him, he went to the theater to sing and make money, and collect information at the same time.

"Our theater has recently changed its owner."

Xiao Qi is a very optimistic child: "It's the leader of the four famous actors in the past, Master Yanyan."

Speaking of Master Yanyan, Xiao Qi immediately opened up: "Master Yanyan is not only beautiful and kind, but also has a beautiful voice, like the chirping of an oriole. You don't know that the ticket for one of his plays costs two taels of silver!"

"Two taels of silver?"

Jun Huanzhi was a little shocked. Two taels of silver were enough for him to spend for several months.

"More than that."

Xiao Qi said with admiration: "The tickets for Master Yanyan's first comeback show were sold at ten taels of silver each. It's hard to get a ticket! Not to mention the rewards he received. I heard that it was as much as a thousand taels."

Jun Huanzhi heard this and asked seriously, "Xiao Qi, do you think I have a talent for singing?"

"Master, we all learn opera in primary school, why are you joining in the fun?"

Shi Jin urged: "You haven't told me yet, how did you make all this money?"

Xiaoqi used to be a minor actor in the theatre, working hard all day and only earning a dozen copper coins.

"Although I am not young anymore, Master Yanyan thinks I have a talent for singing, so he offered to take me in as his apprentice."

"You agreed?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "Of course!"

"Indeed, we should agree to it."

Shi Jin directly took the silver coins from Xiao Qi's hand and put them in his pocket, saying seriously, "Where can you find such a good job?"

"Hurry up and change your clothes and remove your makeup."

Shi Jin urged: "The master is still waiting to go out and make money!"

"what?"

Xiao Qi thought that the master had something urgent to do, but who knew that he was going out to work to earn money, so he said: "The master can't make much money, it's better for you to stay in the palace, I can earn money for the master."

"You are still a child. How can the master bear to put the burden of life on a child like you?"

Xiaoqi is the youngest among the ten secret guards and is only fifteen years old this year.

The ten secret guards were either picked up by Jun Huanzhi or tricked and deceived.

It’s different with ten kilograms, he took the bait on his own initiative.

Xiao Qi took off her makeup, revealing her true face, a little boy with red lips and white teeth, so handsome.

Jun Huanzhi took out a human skin mask and put it on Xiaoqi's face, and he turned into Jun Huanzhi.

"Xiao Qi, stay here. The master and I are leaving first."

After Jun Huanzhi and Shi Jin jumped down the tunnel, they heard Xiao Qi say with tears in her eyes: "Master, I will sing opera to support you in the future."

"Master, do you feel guilty?"

Among the ten secret guards, Shi Jin is the most disrespectful one and has the most say. Even Jun Huanzhi has to listen to him.

Jun Huanzhi grew up in the deep palace and knew nothing about the outside world, while Shijin grew up in the market. He taught Jun Huanzhi many principles of making money (crossed out) and being a human being.

In fact, Jun Huanzhi did not necessarily have to go out to work in person, but if Jun Huanzhi wanted to secure his throne, he could only integrate into the market instead of being trapped in the deep palace, being a deaf and blind man, being deceived, and being a puppet for life.

The master and servant walked in the tunnel for a long time before they reached the end and came to a dilapidated small courtyard.

Push the door open.

There were all kinds of clothes hanging inside.

"What are you wearing today?"

Shi Jin pointed at a half-worn Taoist costume and said, "Today we are going to the overpass to set up a stall to tell fortunes."

Jun Huanzhi was the first to change his appearance, becoming a middle-aged man with a goatee and even his exposed skin.

Shi Jin helped Jun Huanzhi change into Taoist clothes, and then watched Jun Huanzhi go out to set up a stall.

Jun Huanzhi has been a child prodigy since he was young. He could recite Thousand Character Classic at the age of two, compose poems at the age of three, and speak fluently at the age of five. He is truly a child prodigy!

Unfortunately, he was just an unpopular prince in the cold palace.

But he also has his opportunities.

Although his biological mother was deposed as queen and was turned against by everyone, there were still people who remembered her kindness.

For example, the old eunuch who cleaned the library had once received favors from the Empress Dowager.

The library was built in the palace and usually no one went there, so the old eunuch hid the young Jun Huanzhi in it. Even if someone came by chance, little Huanzhi could just hide behind the bookcase and would not be discovered.

The library collected almost all the books in the world. Xiao Huanzhi felt like he had found a treasure and almost lived in the library with the old eunuch.

He worked very hard, and within just a few years he had memorized all the books in the library.

Therefore, even though Jun Huanzhi was not an orthodox Taoist priest, he was well-versed in the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, so he was more than qualified to tell people's fortunes.

The overpass is bustling with people.

Jun Huanzhi hung up the banners and then set up the stall.

Not long after, Jun Huanzhi opened a shop.

The first guest was a middle-aged man who came to ask Jun Huanzhi for help in writing a letter home.

In addition to fortune-telling, Jun Huanzhi also writes letters for others, and his business scope is quite wide.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, those who cannot go back home will always write a letter to report their safety.

Therefore, Jun Huan knew that business was good today.

Shi Jin secretly escorted Jun Huanzhi to the overpass. Seeing that he had opened the shop, he did not stay long but went to do his own thing.

After writing more than twenty letters home, Jun Huanzhi's wrists felt a little sore, but when he saw the money box full of copper coins, he suddenly felt that all the hard work was worth it.

Just then, an unexpected customer suddenly came to the fortune-telling stall.
