371: It's so late, where are you going?
Even the chief steward next to the emperor always spoke respectfully to the Ninth Princess. How could someone like him have the right to hang out in front of the Ninth Princess?
Chu Hanming was really in a dilemma: "But I...but there's nothing I can do."
Manager Wang closed the roster and said, "Then the Za family has no choice but to report truthfully."
Chu Hanming hurriedly grabbed Mr. Wang's sleeve, "Mr. Wang, wait a minute, everything is easy to discuss, right?"
"The Zajia family is just having a good discussion with Mr. Chu. After all, the Zajia family doesn't want to give you money when buying talismans."
Chu Hanming was also upset and couldn't help scolding Nan Li. He usually loves money, but now he won't even sell a mantra.
Seeing his hesitation, General Manager Wang became impatient: "Master Chu, why should you be afraid? It's just a flower bottle. For the sake of the Ninth Princess, the General Manager will probably only scold you a few words."
He is a rootless person, but he actually envies Chu Hanming.
It doesn't matter if he is a mediocre good-for-nothing, but he has a good background. His parents have worked hard for a lot of money, his brothers have succeeded in inheriting the family business, and even his nieces and nephews are top-notch, so he can continue to take advantage of it.
This God...how can it be so unfair!
But when Chu Hanming heard this, his expression changed and he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, this matter must not be made public."
If the old mother finds out, his butt will be spanked and he will be nagged.
Manager Wang frowned: "What do you want, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Hanming's eyes were darting around, and his mind was wavering. After a while, he finally made up his mind and said: "Then please ask Manager Wang to help cover up this time. I will be grateful. As for the mantra, I will give it to you in two days."
Just offer it."
Manager Wang grinned and began to flatter, "The Za family would be extremely grateful to have Mr. Chu help me."
Chu Hanming forced a smile.
He immediately left the palace and bought a similar white porcelain vase to put on display, and he just used the thousand taels of silver notes.
But what should I do if I agree to Manager Wang’s mantra?
Chu Hanming went to ask some charlatans and magicians setting up stalls on the street. Some of them didn't know what the mantra was, let alone draw it.
Chu Hanming wanted to go and beg Nanli again, but he happened to meet Zhimi at the door of the house.
His eyes lit up and he suddenly had an idea.
Zhimi lives in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion. He not only has to take care of the business in the store, but also takes time to do homework. He is very busy on weekdays.
Finally finishing his work, he was about to wash himself off and go to bed early, but unexpectedly a maid hurriedly knocked on the door and said that she seemed to have seen something dirty in the garden.
Zhi Mi was very surprised. After all, a magic circle was set up in the Hou Mansion, so evil spirits and other dirty things could not get close to the Hou Mansion.
However, seeing that the maid turned pale with fear, he still picked up the mahogany sword and followed her to have a look.
As soon as Zhi Mi left, Chu Hanming ducked into the house.
On the table, there are talismans drawn by Chimi, which are the homework he did tonight.
Chu Hanming rummaged through the cloth bag Zhimi brought, and sure enough he found a stack of talisman seals.
He knew that Zhimi's skills were average and he couldn't draw some talismans, so Nanli gave Zhimi some talismans to defend himself. This must be it.
When he was doing this, he went to find Xie Beihan.
Xie Beihan, a big fool, got excited and drew the pattern of the mantra.
However, Xie Beihan had no skills, so the mantra talisman he drew was of no use at all.
Although Chu Hanming despised Xie Beihan in his heart, he also praised Xie Beihan's good memory for being able to memorize all these crooked talisman and seal styles.
He also took a rough note, rummaged around, and finally found the mantra!
"That's it!" Chu Hanming said excitedly, his breathing quick and tense.
However, he quickly calmed down, hurriedly returned the stack of talismans and seals, and hurriedly slipped away to avoid running into Zhimi and exposing his matter.
Not long after, Zhimi came back. He waved the mahogany sword helplessly and murmured: "What? It's just a straw rope. Are you so scared?"
He suddenly stopped, looked at the bag on the chair, and tilted his head.
I remember that when I went out, the bag didn't seem to be arranged like this.
There was a talisman inside that was given to him by his senior sister. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately went over to open the bag and take a look.
Seeing that the pile of talismans and seals were still there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Why am I just like that sister? This is the Hou Mansion, how can someone come to steal the talisman?"
He felt relieved, washed briefly and then went to bed.
Chu Hanming finally got the mantra and was particularly excited.
He put the mantra in his purse and placed it under his pillow.
Tian returned to the house and saw him sneaking around. He took a closer look and said, "Second Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Hanming felt guilty for being a thief. He shook his head hurriedly, then scolded Mr. Tian with a low face: "You women, don't ask about men's matters!"
Mr. Tian's face stiffened.
She has always been grateful that she can become Chu Hanming's first wife, but that doesn't mean she has to accept everything.
"What the Second Master said is so boring. When you asked me to buy ingredients, you didn't have such an expression and tone." Tian rolled her eyes at him, and seeing how cautious he was about the purse, she murmured in her heart, "
If the second master is tired of being a concubine and wants to take a concubine, he can just say so, but the money the second master wants to take a concubine cannot be raised by the concubine."
Chu Hanming's little salary was not enough for him to spend on himself. Without the little money as a gift, their second wife would have been unable to survive.
Chu Hanming also knew that he had gone too far, and helped Mr. Tian sit down: "Madam, don't be angry. It's because my errand is a bit tricky, so I have a bad temper. I made you the main wife before, and I already said I won't accept goodbye."
I’m a concubine. Although I don’t have much ability, I can still do what I say.”
After hearing this, Mr. Tian's expression softened slightly.
She went down the steps given by Chu Hanming, pursed her lips, and said, "The second master can't do this when he sees Yinger, otherwise she will be too worried and affect her recovery."
"Yes, yes, madam reminded me." Chu Hanming nodded in agreement.
The two of them exchanged a few warm words before going to bed.
At midnight, Mrs. Tian heard Chu Hanming's snoring and knew that he had fallen asleep.
She stood up and lit the candle, and then carefully took out the purse under Chu Hanming's pillow.
When she opened it under a candle, she found that there was a yellow talisman inside. She couldn't help but be stunned.
She opened it and found that she didn't recognize what the talisman was.
Nan Li has already drawn amulets for them, why does the second master still value this amulet so much?
This isn't right.
Tian thought about it and realized that Chu Hanming would do stupid things sometimes, so she took her cloak and wanted to go to Qingliangyuan and ask Nanli what kind of talisman this was.
Although it was disturbing in the middle of the night, if there was nothing wrong with the talisman seal, she would secretly put the talisman seal back, and the second master would not find out, and the relationship between the couple would not be affected.
