Pawn Crossing the River

Qiniang gently shook Uncle Feng's feather fan and said with emotion: "It's a great harvest."

Qi Xuansu asked his question: "Qiniang, so your surname is Yao?"

"What, you want to change your surname to Yao Xuansu?" Qiniang glanced at him, "That's not impossible, it sounds pretty good."

Qi Xuansu quickly waved his hand and said: "The surname Qi is quite good."

Although Qiniang is like a biological mother, the master is also like a biological father, always on a first-come, first-served basis. Who made him meet the master first?

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Qiniang, when did you become the head of Yao Fang of Qibao Fang?"

Qiniang didn't hide it, "I didn't become the owner of Qibaofang at some time. I was already the owner of Qibaofang before we met."

Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say for a while.

Qiniang continued: "As for why I didn't tell you, the main reason is because I was afraid that you would ruin your family."

"Am I prodigal?" Qi Xuansu muttered in a low voice, "Then you have to be victorious. Just such a small amount of peace money is not enough to watch Li Qingnu dance, and you are prodigal."

Qiniang pretended to be dumbfounded: "You want to see Li Qingnu dance? It's easy to say, as long as your girl Zhang has no objection, I can let Qingnu dance for you alone, flower dance, sword dance, Hu Xuan dance, Sixteen dance The Demon Dance, the Dance of Colorful Feathers, the Four Directions Bodhisattva Dance, and the Five Directions Lion Dance are all here for you to watch.”

Qi Xuansu coughed dryly: "I was just making an analogy."

Qiniang said anxiously: "Don't be embarrassed, we are all one family."

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to change the subject: "Qiniang, you and Wu Guangbi are fighting, are you okay?"

"How can a mere Wu Guangbi compete with me?" Qiniang hit the feather fan with a wave of her hand, with the intention of scolding Fang Qiu.

Qi Xuansu couldn't tell whether Qiniang was just blowing it or had something to rely on. He asked again: "Qiniang, not only are you and Wu Guangbi competing for the 'Xuan Jade', but Li Tianlan also wants it. Obviously this is a good thing, but After I fused this piece of 'Xuan Jade', why couldn't I become a heavenly being?"

Qiniang had expected this and patiently explained: "Generally speaking, there is no saying that 'Xuanyu' will be exhausted, but this piece of 'Xuanyu' is an exception. After all, it is a god who came to the world, so it directly caused this piece of 'Xuanyu' to be depleted." The piece of 'Xuan Jade' is almost exhausted. The good news is that the 'Xuan Jade' can slowly recover by absorbing the energy of the world. The bad news is that it will take about thirty years for this piece of 'Xuan Jade' to fully recover."

Qi Xuansu immediately grasped the key point: "Li Changge cannot wait for thirty years. The Li family must have a way to shorten this time, otherwise they will not compete for this piece of 'Xuan Jade'."

Qiniang glanced at Qi Xuansu approvingly and said: "This piece of 'Xuanyu' corresponds to the inheritance of witchcraft, so the way is to use incense and wish power to replace the vitality of heaven and earth to speed up the recovery of 'Xuanyu'. As for the amount of incense and wish power required , roughly equivalent to a third-grade spiritual officer.”

Qi Xuansu said with some frustration: "The Taoist sect strictly controls the power of incense and vows. With the power of the Li family, it is easy to get some incense and vows. But for me, it is extremely difficult."

Qiniang has always been half-hearted towards Qi Xuansu, so she just patted Qi Xuansu on the shoulder: "Aren't you about to be promoted to the fourth level of Taoist priest? It's not like there is no chance at all."

Qi Xuansu's eyes lit up.

At this time last year, Qi Xuansu was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest without any position, but now he was immediately promoted to a fourth-grade Taoist priest, and he was unable to change his mind for a while.

Just as Qiniang said, Qi Xuansu will soon become a high-quality Taoist priest. Although he cannot compare with the Li family, he is not clothed in white and his power of incense and wishing is not that difficult to obtain.

Qiniang continued: "Actually, this piece of 'Xuan Jade' also has benefits. At least it will help you get through the threshold of heaven and humanity. I don't know how many people are stuck on the threshold of heaven and humanity, and they can't take that step. For these people, , the door in front of them is closed, and they don’t know where to go. But for you now, the door to heaven has been opened, and there are no thresholds or bottlenecks. Even if you don’t have enough incense and willpower, Zhang Yuelu will be like this. As long as you practice slowly, you can successfully become a heavenly being within a few years."

Qi Xuansu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Qiniang put the feather fan away and planned to say goodbye and leave.

Qi Xuansu grabbed Qiniang's sleeve.

Qiniang turned her head and glanced at him: "Can't bear to be your mother? How old are you?"

While speaking, Qiniang shook her sleeves again, trying to shake Qi Xuansu away.

Qi Xuansu held on tightly and said shamelessly: "Qiniang, since you are the owner of Yao Fang of Qibao Square, can I take your name when I go shopping on the black market in the future?"

"No." Qiniang refused, "Even if you tell me my name, I will never admit it. I advise you to give up on this idea."

Qi Xuansu still refused to give up and said: "Then can you say hello to the people below and give me a discount when I go to the black market in the future. I don't want half price, just 20% off."

"That's a beautiful thought." Qiniang threw Qi Xuansu away with her sleeve, "Even if you are my biological son, you still have to settle the accounts clearly and don't even think about giving me less."

Qi Xuansu understood Qiniang just as Qiniang understood him, and took a step back: "Qiniang, as long as you give me a discount, I will give you half of the money I save. Is this okay? The wealth will not go to outsiders. "

Qiniang was immediately moved, and could no longer refuse, so she had to tell the truth: "There are thousands of large and small black markets under the name of Qibaofang. If I go to a certain black market, I can say a word and issue a temporary order. , It’s not difficult. But if you want all black markets to give discounts, you must issue a formal order. Qibaofang implements a rotating system, and only the rotating owner has the authority to issue such an order.”

Qi Xuansu asked: "How often do you take turns?"

Qiniang held out three fingers: "Once every three years."

Qi Xuansu's heart immediately went cold. There are seven workshop leaders every three years, and one cycle lasts for twenty-one years. However, he still did not give up and asked: "Qiniang, when was the last time you were the rotating workshop leader?"

Qiniang smiled slightly: "The year I saved you, I happened to step down as the rotating head of the workshop."

Qi Xuansu's mental arithmetic was completely cold. It would take more than ten years until Qiniang became the rotating workshop leader again. By that time, Zhang Yuelu is probably already a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and may even be expected to become a lower-ranked Shenzhi Zhenren. He is at least a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. It is not impossible to become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. Still care about this discount.

Qi Xuansu sighed deliberately: "That's all, it's just me tightening my belt a little more to make myself a little more miserable."

Qiniang was completely unmoved.

Qi Xuansu stopped pretending and said instead: "Qiniang, let's not talk about Qibaofang, let's talk about Qingpinghui. With your status, you can never be an ordinary second-class member. Your power in Qingpinghui is certain." Is it big?”

"What do you want to do?" Qiniang glanced at him sideways.

Qi Xuansu said cautiously: "The previous errands of the Qingping Association were all decided by you, right? In fact, there were no tasks assigned by the superiors at all."

Qiniang smiled half-heartedly and said, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

Qi Xuansu said: "If so, can I leave the Qingping Association? In fact, it's just a matter of your words. I can't ask for permission from the leader, right?"

Qiniang's face suddenly changed and she said angrily: "Okay, I really forgot about my mother when I had a wife."

Qi Xuansu said in astonishment: "What did you say?"

Qiniang said: "Isn't it because of Zhang Yuelu that you tried every possible means to get rid of the identity of Qingpinghui? You were afraid that she would see through this identity and fall out with you. Then why did you forget that I gave you this identity? Have you ever thought about me? Feel it?"

These words were so serious that Qi Xuansu didn't dare to smile anymore, so he stood up quickly and stood obediently. If this were the era when Confucianism was the leader, he would have to kneel down.

Qiniang took off her sunglasses, pretended to wipe her tears and said: "You tried every possible means to please Zhang Yuelu, and even gave up your life for her. Have you ever thought about it? I gave you this life. Have you ever thought about my feelings? What are you doing today? If you don't want the Qingpinghui status I gave you, then when you get rich in the future, do you have to dig out that side of your heart and completely draw a line with me, a secret society demon? Then you can become your Taoist disciple with no guilt? Real person, the daughter of the Zhang family who marries you, just pretend that she has never known a person like me."

Qi Xuansu's face turned red and he stammered: "I, I never thought about it that way."

Qiniang put on her sunglasses again and stood up to leave: "Whether you have thought about it or not, let it be."

Qi Xuansu quickly grabbed Qiniang's sleeve: "I really never thought about it like this. I will never mention this again in the future."

Qiniang's back was turned to Qi Xuansu, the corners of her mouth curved, but her tone was still very serious: "It depends on your performance."

Qi Xuansu couldn't see Qiniang's expression and felt ashamed, and began to seriously reflect on himself.

Qiniang left here with a full harvest, humming a ditty: "Boy, fight with me, you are still very young."
