275: Magic or spell
Ye Siheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately put the official documents aside and left the study.
It is already June and the weather is very hot.
As soon as I stepped out of the house, the heat wave hit me head on.
Nan Li had just come back from outside. There were beads of sweat on her forehead and her face was flushed.
Seeing Ye Siheng in the corridor, he put on a bright smile: "Why didn't you enter the palace today?"
He seemed very free these past two days.
Yesi Heng took out a handkerchief, wiped off her sweat, and took her hand into the main room: "Brother Huang's health has improved a little and he can handle some political affairs, so I won't be so busy."
Qing Feng, who was nearby, heard it and looked ashamed.
Obviously he was afraid that the princess had other ideas in her mind, so she stayed in the mansion and watched her.
Yuan Bao has already put the ice cubes on the table, and using the fan, there is a cool breeze in the room.
Yuanchun brought sour plum soup to help Nanli cool down.
Nan Li drank a bowl in one gulp, feeling much refreshed and comfortable all over, and ordered: "Have another bowl."
Yesi Heng lowered his face and said, "Don't be greedy. This is a cold drink. Drinking too much can easily cause stomach upset."
Yuanchun looked at the two of them in embarrassment. She was a slave and would not dare to disobey anyone's orders.
Nan Li curled her lips and said helplessly: "Okay then."
Yesi Heng smiled, "Is the store very busy?"
He knew that she had gone to the store early in the morning.
"It's still manageable." Nan Li said, "It's almost July 14th, and the gates of hell are wide open. Everyone wants to buy amulets to keep them safe."
Her shop has opened up, and people from Kyoto come to her to buy talismans.
People from other towns even came to Kyoto just to buy a talisman seal from her.
Zhimi's skills were still weak and she could only draw more than ten house-destroying talismans a day. If the talismans were not enough to sell, Nanli naturally had to stay in the shop to draw the talismans, so she had no other skills for the past two days.
Yesi Heng thought for a while, "This year shouldn't happen again like last year, right?"
Taoist Baimei and his disciples were both killed, and because of the seclusion of Prince Qi, the Qi State was fiercely fighting in the court. It is estimated that they will not be able to stretch out their hands to attack the Mu State again.
Nan Li said: "It probably won't happen, but it's better to be careful. I can only sell a talisman for three hundred coins. By then, everyone should have a talisman to control their homes."
Yesi Heng was a little surprised, "Isn't this your loss-making business?"
Talisman paper and cinnabar are not cheap items. In addition to the manpower and shop rent, these 300 coins for a talisman are basically not much money to earn.
Nan Li smiled again: "Occasionally, you do good deeds and accumulate virtue."
She had rested enough and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
Yesi Heng sat there alone for a long time, and finally sighed.
What to do, he regretted it a bit.
Ah Li worked so hard to accumulate merit, but he was just holding him back.
The next day.
Nan Li arrived at the store early.
Zhimi had been busy for several days, and his whole body felt deeply tired.
He looked at Nan Li, she didn't apply makeup, her skin was still delicate, her clear eyes were looking forward, and she didn't show any signs of fatigue.
"Senior sister, you draw more talismans every day than me, why are you still so radiant?" Zhimi expressed envy, "Could it be that you know some kind of skill that can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and replenish your physical strength and skill?"
"No, I just had a good sleep."
However, Nan Li was shocked when she saw the dark circles under his eyes. She immediately expressed her distress and asked him to rest for two days and stop drawing talismans.
Zhimi gritted his teeth, "No, senior sister is still busy, how can I be lazy! Besides, this is a good training opportunity, I must not give up."
Nan Li said seriously: "It's almost done, haste makes waste, I'm afraid you'll run out of energy and die before you can make any progress."
Zhimi felt a sense of grievance.
He only thought about why his skills were so poor and how little he could do to help his senior sister at this critical moment.
"Okay, you are still young. Practice hard. Once you enlighten yourself one day, your skills will make great progress." Nan Li said.
Zhiya cheered up and nodded.
Before the doors were officially opened for business, there were people queuing up outside.
But at this moment, someone squeezed to the front, causing the people to curse.
The man ignored him, but the talisman array set up at the door was easily broken by him, and he walked into the store in a swagger.
Zhimi was surprised, this was the talisman array set up by the senior sister!
"You are here to cause trouble!"
He grabbed the broom tightly and tried to swat it over.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Yun Yubai dodged quickly, "I'm not here to cause trouble, I just want to show off my strength."
"Is that you?" Nan Li recognized him as the warlock that day.
"Isn't it just me?" Yun Yubai put his hands behind his hands and walked around. When he saw the talismans displayed on the counter, he couldn't help but nod while looking at them.
This little girl is indeed very talented. She is more than qualified to be his apprentice!
"Sir, what advice do you have here?" Nan Li asked directly.
Last time I saw this warlock, he was slovenly and had a smell of alcohol wafting from his body.
Today he had tidied up a bit, wearing a neat robe, and his hair was neatly combed and shiny. His already sharp eyebrows and starry eyes were even more outstanding, and he felt a bit dashing.
"I don't dare to give advice, I just want to do good things." Yun Yubai knew that she was already considered a top existence in the mortal world. If he rashly proposed to accept her as his disciple, she would probably sneer at him.
So I decided to approach slowly first, slowly show my strength, and convince her!
Nan Li raised her eyebrows: "Do good things."
"I just heard it outside. You, my little junior brother, are not very good at it. The Ghost Festival is approaching. Even if you are good at drawing talismans by yourself, you only have one pair of hands. My greatest advantage is that I care for my apprentice and am willing to help others, so I wanted to come and help.
Help you." Yun Yubai said.
He was able to utter the Soul-Death Curse that day, so Nan Li didn't doubt his strength.
But later I heard that he cheated Mr. Cao Ge of fifty taels of silver.
"Oh, you want to work part-time to make money."
"What? Part-time job?" Yun Yubai didn't understand what it meant, but he knew Nan Li had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "No, I just want to help so that you don't have to work so hard, little girl.
Home, it’s not good to be exhausted.”
The corners of Nan Li's mouth twitched, "Sir, I'm already married."
"So what, I don't mind." Yun Yubai blurted out.
Zhimi's eyes widened: "A prodigal like you is actually a Taoist? How embarrassing!"
After that, he started to hit the person with the broom again, trying to drive the person out.
Only then did Yun Yubai realize that he had said the wrong thing. With a wave of his sleeve, he stopped Chi Yayoi and said, "I misunderstood, I misunderstood. That's not what I meant."
Zhimi couldn't move, only his eyes and mouth could move: "Senior sister, he is... is he using a holding charm?"
Moving so fast?
He didn't see anything clearly.
