If you want to say that money is really a good thing, whether you are a man or a woman, young or old, can like to ask for it, and I am no exception.
Moreover, based on the situation of my family at the time, since my death in the second trial, in addition to pulling five children, my parents had to take care of the second uncle who was paralyzed in the sex. Now that I grow up, I am still responsible for making money for my second uncle’s treatment. I was responsible for the illness, so when I heard Qianxue say that "money is not a problem", I immediately moved my heart.
Since it's a fascination with money, as for the rules of the ghostmaker, naturally it is not so important. I also gave myself an excuse, saying that the rules are dead and people are alive. Some rules are not impossible to work around.
However, there are some rules to talk about, that is, since it was her relative's house that had an accident, she had to let her relatives come in person and bring gifts, so that she seemed sincere.
If you can invite ghostsmiths casually, isn't we ghostsmiths too worthless!
So at the moment, I immediately turned around and walked back. In fact, I didn't have the confidence to go. I was afraid that Qianxue would not stop me and could not earn the money she said that "money is not a problem".
As soon as I left, Qianxue really chased me up. She stopped me and said that her relatives really needed me. I said that if her relatives really need me, she won't let her invite me. I don't understand the rules at all.
I said the word "rules" very seriously, just to remind her.
Qianxue immediately understood what I meant, so she told me that she would look for her relatives right now.
I nodded in satisfaction, then carried my hands back, and went back to the coffin shop in style. Near noon, Qian Xue brought a middle-aged man to the coffin shop. The middle-aged man was probably in his forties, not tall, but very rich. Looking at his clothes, his family should be very rich.
But what I pay most attention to is the leather bag in his hand, and guess what gift he brought me.
The middle-aged man introduced himself, saying that his name was Qian Baili, Qian Xue's uncle. He also said that he didn't invite me in person in the morning, and he didn't mean to belittle me. I couldn't get out of it because of important things. I hope I don't mind.
I said graciously that it doesn't matter, just come here. Qian Baili called me the little master very politely, saying that I shouldn't have eaten at this time, and he wanted to invite me to dinner and express his apologies.
I didn't bring a stand
If you raise your own worth, you can say yes. So Qianbaili and Qianxue took me to the best restaurant in town at the time, and asked for a private room.
I have lived in the town for more than a year, and I pass by the door of the food court almost every day, but this is the first time I have eaten there. The reason I have never been is very simple. Eating at the food court is expensive, and I can’t bear to spend it. money.
When the wine and food were on the table, Qian Baili first poured me a glass of wine, and then filled it with himself. He picked up the glass and said that the little master was careless about what happened in the morning. He punished himself for three cups as an apology to me.
My old god was sitting there, without speaking, he drank three glasses in one breath. After drinking, he put down the cup, he took out a cigarette from his bag and handed it to me. He said that he didn't know what to order for me, so he bought a cigarette. It was a trivial matter. I hope the little master will accept it.
At that time I was less than 18 years old, but I had already started to smoke. I learned to smoke from my brother, but we usually smoke our own cigarettes. We can only smoke when the master’s family gives gifts to people. Boxes of cigarettes, but gifts are also given in one pack, no one has ever given the whole one.
I took the cigarette and saw that the good guy is actually the little panda that national leaders often smoke. This courtesy is not light!
As the saying goes, the heavier the gift, the more difficult it is to ask for, so I did not dare to accept it for a while, and passed the cigarette over, saying that his gift was too heavy and I dared not accept it, so it is better to talk about him first. .
I say this to imply that if I can handle your family's affairs, I will accept this cigarette. If I can't handle it, then I have to apologize, I can't accept this cigarette.
This is also the rule of our ghostsmiths. If you accept money or gifts from the other party, you must help the host to get things done. You can’t just accept gifts and ignore the facts, and the rules will be broken.
Qian Baili obviously saw what I meant, and it was okay to laugh at it. This little gift was a gift for me and a good bond.
Hearing what he said, I stopped being polite, took the cigarette and put it aside, saying that in the morning Qianxue said that his house was haunted, this kind of thing might be a bit difficult to handle.
Qian Baili smiled and did not speak. Instead, he took out a red envelope and handed it to me, saying that it was five hundred yuan. Although it was not much, it was also a meaning. After the event was completed, he was giving me a big one. of.
I dare to confiscate the red envelope. If it is said that receiving his cigarettes is a meeting ceremony, then charging him 500 yuan means that I have to accept his business.
I have to do what I can to take over the business. Although I have experienced a few weird things and learned 90% of his skills during the period when I was studying arts with my senior brother, I still did this kind of thing by the big girl once in the sedan chair. , So I have to be cautious, in case the money can not help him, losing face is a small matter, bad reputation is big.
My senior brother once taught me and Jia Sidao that the most important thing in the profession of a ghost is reputation.
When Qian Baili saw that I didn't accept his red envelopes, he asked me if I was still unsatisfied, and if there were any, please mention it.
I smiled awkwardly, as the saying goes, people respect me a foot, and I pay a foot, he said so, I am too embarrassed to make trouble any more, just say that I can’t eat, sleep, and after eating. , He can talk to me in detail at the coffin shop.
Hearing what I said, Qian Baili was relieved immediately, said thank you, and put away the red envelope first.
Satiated with wine and food, I led them back to the coffin shop, invited them to the second floor, and went directly to the room where the brothers usually entertain guests. After everyone was seated, I went straight to the point and let Qian Baili talk about the haunting in his house.
After Qianbaili heard me say this, his face became serious. He said that he was in the medicinal material business, and he always ran in the three provinces of Northeast China. Because of good luck, he made some money in the past few years, and it is not easy to have money. I will forget my ancestors. Therefore, at the beginning of this year, he hired a group of craftsmen to carry out a major renovation of the house in his hometown. It took more than three months to renovate the house, and of course it also cost a lot of money.
According to our local rules, when a new house is built, there must be a housewarming ceremony, and in the housewarming ceremony, there is a warm house, which means to make the new house lively and don’t let it cool down. In fact, it is just a picture. Auspicious, it means that this new house is booming and the descendants are full.
Thousands of miles basically run outside all the year round, but after all, they go out from here, so the customs of the hometown should be paid attention to.
So, he invited a group of relatives to his new house to help with the greenhouse, but he didn't expect that after playing at the house, he started haunting the house, starting with the greenhouse.
