The daily life of the fortune teller who was forced to open business

Nan Shi felt as if he was lying on the table.

It is the desk in Chiyou's study room on weekdays, it is very large, made of rosewood, well-maintained, it feels as warm as jade to the touch, even the cold dew in late autumn will not feel cold to the hands.

But he felt that his lower body was chilly, as if he was not wearing any clothes, but his waist was very hot, as if he was covered with a quilt.

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything, his mouth seemed to be covered with glutinous rice paste, and he couldn't even open it.

The door opened with a creak, and a deep red robe came into his sight, followed by blue and cyan figures. Nan Shi lay down on the desk, unable to raise his head. He didn't know who it was.

The blue and blue figures paused in front of him, and then they hurried forward again, as if they saw something they shouldn't see.Nan Shi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment. They seemed to be looking at him...how dare they look at him? !

"Well... go, no mistakes are allowed." Someone said indifferently, the voice was leisurely and majestic, with a sense of dignity and calmness, making people very curious about who the owner of the voice was.

... Who is it?This sound is so familiar...

Nan Shi thought slowly.

He seems to be soaking in cotton, floating, but he can feel the hardness, heaviness and lightness of the desk, which is very strange.

...Oh yes, it's his senior brother.

Why did the senior make him lie down here?

Nan Shi wanted to stare at him, but at most he could only see the delicate carvings of pine, bamboo and plum under the Duobao Pavilion.

After a while, Nan Shi heard the sound of clothes rubbing, and those blue and blue figures retreated. After the door was closed, the room became quiet, making the sound of the clothes more obvious.

That red dress caught his eyes, first the neat and delicate corners, then the jade inlaid belt, and the white inner shirt wrapped layer after layer over the leaning figure.

Chi You is here.

Nan Shi couldn't see Chi You's face, but could only see half a boot stepping out from under the red clothes, and then his head sank, something pressed on the top of his head and inserted into his hair, it was cold, half a thread Neither does the temperature.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Chi You's voice came from above.

... What's wrong?Nan Shi frowned and thought, but he couldn't figure out what mistake he had made, but another voice told him clearly, yes, he was wrong, he made a big mistake.

Chi You didn't wait for him to answer, his five fingers rubbed his hair closely, a layer of trembling surged from his spine to his brain, he trembled uncontrollably, and then heard Chi You say lightly: "It's fine if you know you're wrong .”

Nan Shi became tense all of a sudden, his heart beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his throat, he struggled to move, but it was as if he was being crushed by Mount Tai, his hand was lying powerlessly in front of him, He looked at his little finger and tried hard to move it, but he couldn't even move a fingertip.

He watched Chi You's hand leave his hair, turned around and left, and the long hair scattered like ink and clouds behind him swept past his eyes. He subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but he couldn't. There was a realization in his mind, he let the ends of his hair sweep his eyes, he should not be able to see clearly at the moment.

His eyes also became confused, his eyes were hot, as if some liquid was struggling to gather into drops from the eye sockets, fell down his nose, and dripped lightly on the desk, he felt as if he heard the drops. sound.

Not long after, Chi You came back again, he didn't know what Chi You was doing, he wanted to ask Chi You to let him go, it was really strange.

He could see again, and saw Chi You's hand falling in front of his eyes, Nan Shi didn't know what it was like, he just felt that he was staring at that hand, Chi You's hand was really beautiful, so falling In front of her eyes, there is no other decorations, clean, well-proportioned flesh and blood, blue blood vessels extending from the wrists, and submerged under the clearness.

With this hand in front of his eyes, Nan Shi even felt that his hand was an eyesore.

The sun fell into the room, and the slender fingers flexed a bit, the knuckles were glowing with luster, Chi You's hand rested on a pitch-black ruler, the ruler was smooth, and his fingertips were close to the ruler. upstream.

Nan Shi's mind was in chaos, and he could only stare blankly at that hand.

The ruler was finally picked up, the joints swelled up slightly with his movements, and the sleeves fell from his wrists, revealing a jade-like wrist, like a magnolia slanting from the window in the cold spring , there is only this one branch, but he is the only one who is full of trees and forests—Nan Shi's voice rang in his ears: his senior brother is going to beat him...

What did he do wrong?

No, you are wrong...you are very wrong...

Immediately afterwards, the ring was placed under his jaw, forcing him to raise his head, and in an instant he fell into Chi You's deep and calm eyes: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Nan Shi heard himself say: "...I don't know what's wrong."

The corners of Chi You's lips raised slightly, the ruler left, and Nan Shi was fixed in this position.The light of the ruler can tell people, and it vaguely reflects his red eyes.The red mole under his eyes is dazzlingly red on the black ruler, and his eyelashes are moving slightly. This expression is very familiar to him. He is hiding something. He is disturbed but tries his best to cover it up, pretending that he has a clear conscience.

He looked down at the ruler moving around, pried open his lips fiercely, smashed his teeth, and pressed the cold ruler firmly on the warm tip of his tongue, Chi You asked again: "I know I'm wrong ?"

Nan Shi said two words vaguely, it should still be the word 'I don't know'.

He was anxious in his heart, thinking that he should say 'knowing his mistake' at this moment. Chi You will take the soft but not the hard, and he must be the one who has just suffered a disadvantage, not to mention what's wrong with admitting his mistake now?

"Very good." He heard Chi Yousili say slowly.

With a movement of the hand clinging to the ruler, the ruler turned over, and the rounded corners touched his palate, stretched his lips and tongue, and abruptly opened the distance between the two, and then the wet ruler fell from his mouth. Withdrew from his mouth and patted his cheek lightly.

Even so, Nan Shi was still beaten to the side of his head. It didn't hurt, but it made him feel extremely ashamed.

The red clothes disappeared before his eyes, Chi You had already walked behind him, a light wind sounded, and then a piece of silky cloth covered the top of his head, blocking all sight.

The black one is his own coat.

The cold five fingers rested on his flesh, and the same cold ruler landed on his spine. They didn't hit him, but just slid past him like a venomous snake, swimming across his back.He only felt that his back was trembling layer after layer, and he was shaking like a sieve, and soon a layer of greasy sweat appeared on his skin.

The hard ruler pressed against his spine, and suddenly stopped moving, and Chi You's voice sounded again: "This is the last chance, do you know what's wrong?"

"I don't know."

"Very good." There was a gentle smile in Chi You's voice, but beneath it was a bone-chilling indifference.

Immediately, the uncomfortable feeling on his back disappeared.

He felt as if he heard the sound of the wind breaking when the ruler fell, and the black shirt in front of him shook, and he let out a muffled grunt. He vaguely felt that he wanted to escape, and now was the best time, but his body remained motionless , as if willing to accept the punishment.

Under the black shirt, the only thing he could see was his own hands.

Layers upon layers of red marks appeared on the white wrist at some point, and they kept shaking in front of his eyes. He vaguely thought... what is this, it looks like it has been tied up.

……

The next moment, Nan Shi woke up with a start, his heart was still beating violently, as if he had crawled into reality from a dream, he stared at the ceiling dryly, and for a while he couldn't remember where he was.

His body was empty, and when he stretched out his hand to touch it, he was covered with a long silk robe. He must have been dishonest when he fell asleep. What he usually wears is a bit like what Chi You is used to wearing.

No, that's not the point, the point is why did he dream that his senior brother was beating him?

What did he do?

Nan Shi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. In the dream, he felt that he was very wronged. If it wasn't for Qingying who was on duty outside the door, he would even howl twice to vent his depression.

Forget it, forget it, it's just a dream.Dreams are all fake and reversed... Chi You beat him more to admonish him, not to humiliate him. The most he can do is to be beaten to death if he makes a big mistake, so he won't be stripped in front of outsiders Clothes hit.

Does that mean that his senior brothers won't beat him in the future?

Before the smile on Nan Shi's lips raised the corners of his mouth, he suddenly froze.

He just lay there not daring to move.

Time seemed to have passed for a moment, and it seemed to have passed for a long time before he suddenly got up, and even hit the top of his head on the bed frame. Closed the quilt, feeling like a mess.

... No wonder Chi You beat him in a dream, but if it happened in reality, Chi You might have killed him directly.

It was just before dawn outside, and through the half-opened window, the dark blue sky cast a gloomy light into the room. Nan Shi half leaned on the bed, staring blankly at the beam of half-bright light, and suddenly felt It all seemed like a dream.

He hasn't been resurrected yet, maybe he fell to his death the moment he first met Chi You.He was still that cold, fierce ghost, who was pressed into the eighteenth floor of hell. At the moment when the sun and the moon alternated, he calmly and tiredly looked up at the world①.

He reached out and slapped himself.

He didn't hold back, and there was no need to hold back.

He is still young, so it is very normal to have such a dream, but even if the dream is involuntary, it should not appear Chi You... Is he a little abnormal.

Qingying, who was guarding outside, heard the sound and asked, "Master?"

"You don't need to come in." Nan Shi said flatly.

He has no mind to deal with others now.

Nan Shi carefully considered this dream, and then sadly realized that it might not be an ordinary dream. After entering the way of fortune telling, even if the tea is poured out of the cup, it will be an 'image', so would he have a dream for no reason? ?

The probability is very low.

No, it should be an accident, but he just recovered from a serious illness, and he took the old age ointment that couldn't make up for it. In addition, he was busy with things these days and didn't solve it by himself, and then he usually didn't contact any strangers. The one who has been in contact with him for the longest time is Chi You, and Chi You is very in line with his aesthetics, which is why he has such a weird and absurd dream.

Nan Shi thought about it for a while, and felt more and more that the possibility was very high, and his mentality gradually calmed down... It's okay, he's quite normal, that is, he needs to meet more beautiful people in the future, Chi You is right, he should go Find a permanent partner.

Speaking of which, why did he stand up when he dreamed that Chi You was beating him?This is a bit strange, is he interested in the letter circle?

Nan Shi thought for a while, silently took out his mobile phone and went over the wall to the external network, browsed around the circle of letters, very sure and sure that he felt dull, even disgusting, even if he found a similar punishment video correspondingly, he couldn't do it at all Experience what fun this can be - of course, mute the sound first, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing to let Qingying outside hear it.

Nan Shi, who didn't believe in evil, took the belt and smacked his thigh, and instantly a red mark emerged with the burning pain, and jumped into his forehead. Nan Shi didn't even think about it, and opened his mouth with a swear word :"Hold!"

very painful!

Grinning his teeth, he threw the belt away, reassuring himself that he wasn't interested in the thing at all.

Nan Shi gave up, and he was not the one who wronged himself.He got out of bed and changed a set of bedding for himself, went to the bathroom to wash up, put on his usual cotton pajamas, and fell asleep again.It's not even four o'clock, so I'm really sorry for myself if I don't sleep in the cage right now.

It wasn't for nothing that he went to the accountant. There were a little over a hundred people in the family, including the servants in the mausoleum. Nanshi drew 200 million from his small treasury, and distributed them according to the family level. Paper money would not be bought separately. Yes, there is still a lot of goods in the family, so he just decides to send out a little more and it's over.

People have worked hard all year round to serve, what is more real than sending money?

He doesn't need to worry about the New Year's gift. Steward Zhou has already prepared it, and he will send it out directly. In the past few days, Steward Zhou has also received a lot of New Year's gifts from outside, all of which were sent by companies that Chi You held shares in. .

In fact, he doesn't need to take care of these trivial matters, but he has to watch and figure out the process.

After the new year is over, he has to get up early on the first day of the new year, first to pay New Year's greetings to his senior brother, and then hold a sacrifice to give Tiandao's father a good meal. These days, the family is responsible for helping him to make offerings, so he should do it himself Thanks to Father Tiandao for his care for one year, please continue next year.

It should be fine for the next few days, mainly to play with grandma, and take the time to say New Year greetings to relatives and friends, give some gifts, wait until the seventh day of the new year to send grandma back to Z City, and on the eighth day of the new year to send my own Nanchen Pavilion Open it again.

Nan Shi felt that he had been very unlucky for a while. Although he got a blessing in disguise in the end, his strength improved and his fate improved, but it didn't hinder him to set up two strings of balloons to simulate firecrackers.

Hey, it's really a lost taste of the New Year if you can't set off firecrackers during the New Year!

After thinking about it, Nan Shi fell asleep again, and when he woke up again, it was dawn.Qingying and Qinglan entered the door hand in hand, one holding new clothes, the other holding a brand new set of accessories, they got busy around Nanshi.

Nan Shi's hair still didn't grow long, maybe it was even shorter - it was shaved for convenience when he was hospitalized, and normal people wouldn't grow their hair down to their waist in a month.

But even so, Qing Lan still grabbed Nan Shi and forcibly made him a dead center haircut. If it wasn't for Nan Shi's good looks, she really couldn't handle this hairstyle.

The newly embroidered gown is also luxurious, light blue in color, embroidered with wishful patterns of the same color, and the buckle is made of jade. Fortunately, Nan Shi is a man, otherwise he would not be able to bear the gaudy bunch of hairpin rings. A jade pendant will solve the problem. all questions.

"Master, are you eating in the room? Or at the old lady's place?" Qing Lan asked as she knelt down to straighten the corner of his robe.

"Then there's no need to ask? Is the old lady up?"

"Get up, I'm washing up." Qing Ying replied: "Yesterday, maybe the old lady was not used to it. She didn't go to bed until eleven or twelve o'clock. Today, she got up late."

"Okay." After Nan Shi finished speaking, he got up and went to have dinner with his grandma - Chi You reckoned that he was going to sleep at the moment, and he hadn't slept all night, and he should have fallen into that kind of tired state that didn't want to talk, Nan I was too lazy to pluck the tiger's beard when I was young, and I always felt a little unlucky to be beaten during the Chinese New Year.

"Master!" Qinglan stopped him suddenly, turned around and came out with a bowl of soup. Almost immediately, the room was filled with the pungent smell of old ginger. Nan Shi sniffled, probably understanding what it was. He turned around and ran away: "No, I didn't drink too much."

Qingying closed the door with a snap, her face was still respectful, but her eyes were flickering, clearly watching the show: "The owner of the mountain ordered that the young master drank too much yesterday, and today he wants to drink a bowl of hangover soup to avoid headaches. "

Nan Shi frowned and said, "...What kind of monsters are you two?! You are my handmaidens, okay! Down!"

Qinglan smiled persuasively: "Master, I advise you to drink, so as not to suffer."

Nan Shi: "...No, why should I suffer?!"

Qinglan and Qingying told each other about Nan Shifei wanting to occupy Chi You's recliner and still biting his hand. At the scene of She's death, Nan Shi stopped when he heard something hanging on Chi You's neck, raised his head and poured down the hangover soup.

"..." Nan Shi frowned, and didn't want to say a word. This soup really deserves to be specially ordered by Chi You, and it takes some skill to make the hangover soup so spicy.

Qinglan brought over Qingshui and Huamei again, and Nan Shi didn't spit it out.

It's better to beat him up!

***

His grandma's yard is on the east side, which happens to form a diagonal with Nanshi and Chiyou's yards. When Nanshifang went out, he saw that the house was completely new. It was clear that the inside and outside had been re-swept, and the garden was full of flowers and trees. Youzhi, peony and wintersweet are both fragrant, and it is still in the cold winter, but it is a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.

Perhaps the weather is beautiful, today is a sunny day, the sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, and there is no feeling of coldness.

Nan Shi walked through the garden and picked up two peonies, planning to take them back and put them in a vase for grandma.

"Grandma, are you awake?" Nan Shi carried the flowers into the door and handed them to the pink-clothed servant girl. Before he finished speaking, he heard the old lady's angry voice: "The early morning soul call!" Nah?!"

Nan Shi giggled, followed the sound and groped over. After pushing open the door, he saw Qingyue helping the old lady to dress up. Nan Shi's eyes lit up, he took two steps forward, and boasted, "This looks pretty!"

It should be driven out by needlework. A dress that looks like an old lord. The royal blue is solemn, with bats, deer and other auspicious patterns embroidered on it. The old lady frowned and complained: "I am an old woman and I will wear it for me." This! It's very troublesome!"

Nan Shi smiled and said, "Oh, it looks good! This outfit is really energetic. Let's take a couple of photos in a while and hang them at home so that people can see my grandma's beauty as soon as they enter the door!"

"You're going to die!" The old lady scolded in shame and annoyance, but a little smile appeared on her face after all, Qingyue pushed the two flat hairpins into her bun neatly, and said, "Old lady, alright."

The old lady took a second look in the mirror. The final effect was really good. Which woman doesn't like to make herself look good?Even at the age of 80!The old lady smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and Nan Shi stepped forward to help her go out: "Okay, okay, don't look at it, you can see a flower in the mirror! Let's go, have breakfast, A few days ago, the family recruited a cook who cooks Cantonese cuisine, and he is good at making shrimp dumplings."

"Hey, well, I got it!"

Both grandparents and grandchildren ate this meal to their heart's content. After the meal, Nan Shi really took out a camera and took a group of photos for the old lady. Anyway, it's hanging at home, so you don't have to make too much of it. Perfect, happy and done.

In the afternoon, the old lady went to take a nap, and Nan Shi was in a hurry to go to the cashier to give out year-end bonuses to the servants at home. Steward Zhou asked someone to bring out a big tripod, stuffed bundles of paper money into it, and the flames shot up into the sky At the beginning, Nan Shi handed out the thick wallets one by one. This year's time is still too rushed, and there is no time to come up with some tricks. He will definitely do it well next year.

In addition to money, the kitchen also prepared rice cakes, peanuts and other food, which were distributed in the same way. The family is not very strict in this regard, and no one is short of food and clothing, which is a good sign.

After all the things were sent out, the last one was left for Chi You—in fact, it was not prepared for Chi You, after all, he was the head of the family, and he had never seen anyone go in with the left hand and the right hand, Nan Shi insisted Let someone prepare a copy, everyone has it, his senior brother is no exception.

It is also a good sign to be the master of the house.

Nan Shi happily carried his things and went. He thought his senior brother should have gone to sleep, but when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Qing He happened to come out, so he asked Nan Shi to go in with a smile: "The owner of the mountain just asked the servant to go in." Please, young master, what a coincidence."

"Huh? My senior brother is up?" Nan Shi asked back, but the two of them were at the door of the room, so it was hard to talk too much, so Qing He lured Nan Shi in with a slight smile.

"Nan Shi met senior brother." Nan Shi saluted, Chi You was lying on the collapsed bed reading a book, and a stick of fragrance was lit beside him, very elegant and pleasant.

Chi You raised his hand, signaling Nan Shi to come closer: "What are you talking about?"

Nan Shi sat down next to Chi You, and said with a smile: "The New Year's ceremony, as a good omen, I brought it to the senior brother—the things in the account room have been distributed, and there is no trouble, senior brother, I will do it alright ?”

The implication is that it's time for Chi You to praise him.

There was a little smile on Chi You's face, and he slapped Nan Shi on the head with the scroll in his hand. Nan Shi was taken aback, but it didn't hurt: "Brother, why did you hit me?"

"Don't drink too much in the future." Chi You was actually puzzled in his heart, he hadn't seen that Nan Shi's drinking capacity was so light in the past, how could a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine make him drunk.

"Senior brother, I'm a human now!" Of course, Nan Shi knew what Chi You was thinking, with a sly look on his face: "I drank the hangover soup in the morning! I'm punished for everything, and I can't be punished anymore...drink when I'm a ghost What's the point of ordering wine? Can you still get drunk?"

A hundred years ago, he drank with his senior brother and used this method. There are many advantages of being a ghost. After drinking the wine, it will be transformed and it will be over. It is no different from drinking plain water.

Chi You tasted it after thinking about it for a while, and he didn't want to worry about how he was pretending with Nan Shi at that time, so he patted his cheek: "Narrow stuff."

Nan Shi turned his face subconsciously, there was still a smile on his lips, but his movements stopped short.

Seeing that he didn't move, Chi You asked, "Huh?"

Nan Shi turned around and exaggeratedly said: "Brother, you hit me hard on New Year's Eve, aren't you afraid that I'll be unlucky for a whole year?"

Chi You smiled slightly and said, "It's not too late for you to tell me this tomorrow."

The author has something to say:

①: It seems to be a sentence of knowing or not?But this is a sentence that I suddenly thought of when I saw it when I had insomnia.
