Chapter 50 Making Money

Miaozhen and Miaohe looked at her enviously, "We have never been to Guangxin Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture since we were young."

Pan Yun felt sad when she heard this, and was sad for her future life. "Then where is the largest city you have been to?"

"Yushan County."

It didn't sound very loud, so Pan Jun stopped talking.

Xuanmiao came over with an empty backpack. She had sold all the things she brought down the mountain. Unlike the small items for the three children, she sold them directly to the shops or merchants here.

They are all regular customers and the prices are basically fixed.

She glanced at the three people's stall. There were still a lot of things on the sack in front of Miao Zhen Miao He, but the sack in front of Pan Yun was empty. "How could you sell your talismans here?"

Pan Jun: "Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?"

Xuanmiao nodded, "It's amazing, who bought it?"

Miao He laughed loudly and said happily: "Fourth Master Uncle, Junior Master Uncle is joking with you. She didn't sell any talismans. She wants to go to Guangxin Prefecture to sell them. Fourth Master Uncle, I want to go with Junior Master Uncle."

Miaozhen: "I want to accompany you too."

Xuanmiao: "Once you can descend from the southern peak to the foot of the mountain, you can go wherever you want."

Except for Pan Jun whose eyes lit up, Miaozhen and Miaohe all slumped their shoulders and said "Oh" in a dejected tone.

Xuanmiao said to Pan Yun, "Come with me, and you two continue to sell your things."

Pan Yun gave his sack to Miao Zhenmiao and put his things there, then caught up with Xuanmiao, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the express delivery shop."

There is an express delivery shop every fifteen miles here. Dayuanwu is not far from Sanqing Mountain and has the nearest express delivery shop.

This was run by the imperial court. As long as they were delivering imperial documents and letters, as well as private correspondence, they would only be delivered to the village and then picked up by the individual in question.

There were only three people in the shop, sorting the letters and packages that had just been brought in. The shop manager saw Xuan Miao, frowned and walked over, "What are you doing here?"

Xuanmiao also said with a sullen face: "Receive the letter. Is there any letter from Sanqing Mountain?"

The shopkeeper looked on the shelf and threw out a letter, "There is also Sanqingshan Sanzhu, who is it?"

Xuanmiao quickly glanced at Pan Yun and said, "It's the pseudonym of my third senior brother Tao Ji."

The shopkeeper snorted, but threw another letter out, shouting in a moderately loud voice, "He's playing tricks on people. I don't know how he cheats people out there, and he even uses an alias..."

Xuan Miaoli ignored him, just walked past, picked up the two letters and turned away.

Pan Jun was stunned and hurriedly followed.

Xuan Miao suddenly stopped, handed her the letter, and asked coldly, "Do you know the location of the express delivery shop?"

Pan Jun nodded blankly.

Xuanmiao: "You will be responsible for gaining trust from now on."

When Pan Jun heard this, he hurriedly chased after him, "Senior Sister, are you deliberately offending him because I will be the one to gain his trust from now on?"

"No," Xuan Miao said coldly, "I was like this before, and so was he."

Pan Yun: "Aren't you afraid that he will destroy our letters and packages from Sanqing Mountain?"

"He doesn't dare." Xuan Miao stopped and said to her seriously, "Remember, when you come to collect letters in the future, if the letters are dirty or unusual, write them down and report them to the Yushan County Post Station. Don't be afraid of his cold face and threats. If you feel that you should have received a letter but didn't receive it, ask him to find it for you one by one and find the records to verify it."

Pan Jun was thoughtful. "The premise of not fearing power is that we have a stronger power than him. I understand. We have someone above us!"

Xuan Miao lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly. After a moment, he said, "You always give me a feeling that you are not Pan Hong's daughter, but Wang Zhen's daughter."

"... Senior Sister, you are humiliating me. Wang Zhen is a eunuch, how could he have a daughter?"

"Don't you know that he entered the palace by castrating himself? Maybe he had it before he castrated himself?"

Pan Yun snorted, "I have a good character. I'm not like Wang Zhen."

Xuanmiao then said: "You don't have power, but you don't have to fear power."

Then she will end up like her father.

Pan Jun muttered to himself and looked down at the letter in his hand.

The familiar handwriting made her unable to suppress the joy in her heart. She looked around and found that no one was staring at her. She didn't feel like she was being spied on, so she immediately opened the letter and read it.

It was Pan Hong's reply letter to her, in which he said that the three of them, father and son, had become accustomed to the life in exile and were currently living well.

Pan Yun was in tears.

Xuan Miao, who had already walked a distance, came back and stopped in front of her, "Did your father have an accident?"

Pan Jun shook his head, "No, but my father likes to report good news instead of bad news."

Xuanmiao: "Just like you, I don't like to tell the truth."

Xuanmiao also finished reading his letter and said to her, "My friend wrote back that your family has returned safely to Changzhou Prefecture, and your second uncle has found a teaching job at Jintai Academy with a good monthly salary."

"As long as he's safe, I'm not worried about my second uncle's ability to make money to support the family." In this respect, her second uncle is better than her father.

Back at the stall, there were quite a few people gathered in front of Miaozhen and Miaohe's stall. Pan Yun was anxious when he saw them and quickly squeezed in. The people surrounding the two were all young girls, wives and old ladies. The team was divided into two groups. Most of the old ladies surrounded Miaohe. One old lady was gesturing on her body, "Here, here, it hurts when I stand, sit, and lie down. Little Taoist Master Miaohe, please show me what's wrong with me."

Miaohe's chubby little hands pressed her waist. The old lady cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch," but she was very happy, "Right here, right here, little Taoist priest, press it more, press it more."

Young girls and wives surrounded Miao Zhen, lining up to hold out their hands to her, wishing they could get in front of her. "Little Taoist priest, can you help me check my marriage line? Can I get married this year?"

Miao Zhen took her hand and looked at it carefully, then looked at her face and shook her head, "Not this year, maybe there will be a happy event next year, you will be late for happiness."

"Is that so..." The other party looked disappointed.

Pan Yun, however, seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians at once, and he squeezed forward and said enthusiastically: "It's better to come later. It's good for you to come later. It's not only good for your health, but also for your fortune."

The other party's eyes lit up instantly. He looked at Pan Yun and saw that she was also wearing a Taoist robe. He saw that she was in the same group as Miao Zhen and the others. He immediately gave up Miao Zhen and squeezed in front of Pan Yun. The two ran in both directions and met in the middle of Miao Zhen and Miao He. "Really?"

Pan Yun nodded very confidently, "It's more real than gold, little sister, let me take a look at your palm to see where your love is headed."

The other party immediately extended his hand.

Pan Jun grabbed her hand and looked at her, then looked up at her face. He almost couldn't control his expression. This child has a bad fate.

Pan Yun frowned, and the little girl's heart immediately tightened when she saw it.

Pan Yun lowered his eyes to hide the light in them, and smiled at her: "Miss, your love should be close rather than far away, and happiness lies in the future. It may be hard at first, but happiness will always come after hardship."

The little girl only paid attention to the last two sentences: "It is better to be close than far away" and "Good fortune lies in the latter two sentences". After asking twice, the little girl happily took out a penny from her pocket and gave it to her, "Little Taoist priest, you calculated well, this penny is for you."

Miaozhenmiaohe doesn't charge for doing this, and Pan Jun didn't intend to ask for money either. She had long seen that the people here were poor. Apart from selling things, Miaozhenmiaohe were just doing volunteer work.

She squeezed in just to verify what she had learned during this period, so as to accumulate experience and go back to a wealthy place to read people's fortunes and make money.

At this moment, looking at the penny handed to her, she took it and said solemnly: "Good man, if you are unsure about your marriage in the future, please come to Sanqing Mountain to find me. I will do my best to tell your fortune and resolve it for you."

He added: "If it is difficult to go up the mountain, then ask the Three Pure Ones Mountain God in the mountain temple at the foot of the mountain."

Feeling Pan Jun's sincerity, the little girl happily agreed and left happily.

When the others heard this, they felt that Pan Yun's ability in physiognomy was a little better, and they immediately split up and squeezed in front of her.

After they had seen all the young girls, young wives and old ladies on the street, their voices were hoarse. Of course, all the medicinal herbs of Miaozhen and Miaohe were also sold out.

Xuanmiao handed them a bamboo tube and asked them to drink water.

The three of them sat together in silence, drinking water. It was extremely quiet.

The way back was also very quiet, not at all like when they set out in the morning when the three of them had been talking non-stop.

They didn't speak, but Xuanmiao did.

She looked at Pan Yun and Miao Zhen, "Why did you lie?"

Pan Yun said in a hoarse voice: "Who did we fool?"

"That little girl who asked about her marriage, she should get married this year."

Pan Yun: "It's not the right fate."

Xuanmiao: "But this is her fate."

Pan Yun: "When we read people's faces and tell their fortunes, isn't it to avoid bad fates and grasp good fortunes?"

Miao Zhen nodded repeatedly, "I think her life is in danger from this marriage, so I asked her to wait until next year."

Xuanmiao frowned, "As you two said, face reading is to avoid bad fate, then you should tell her. What I want to ask is, why do you lie and not tell her the truth?"

Pan Jun: "Hey, if something bad happens, just avoid it. Why bother to make others unhappy by talking about it?"

Xuanmiao looked at Miaozhen, "What about you?"

Miaozhen: "I'm afraid she'll be angry, and I'm also afraid her family will come and beat me up."

Pan Yun turned his head in surprise, "Are the people here so fierce? It's just fortune-telling, there's no need to use force, right? Has anyone in our Sanqing Mountain ever been beaten?"

Miaozhen looked up at Xuanmiao.

Pan Jun raised his head and met Xuanmiao's gaze. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "They can't beat Fourth Senior Sister, right?"

Xuanmiao glanced at her and turned away.

Pan Yun was extremely curious, and quickly pulled Miao Zhen and Miao He to ask quietly, "Did Fourth Senior Sister really get beaten? Did they win?"

Miao Zhen said: "Master Uncle and Third Uncle were also beaten. I heard that my master was also kicked out."

That sounds a bit bad. No wonder we have to focus on practicing martial arts and have some martial arts skills.

Xuan Miao turned back and urged, "Hurry up."

"Here they come——" The three of them hurriedly chased after them, carrying small backpacks.

After going down the mountain, Pan Yun earned a penny!
