Chapter 189 Shen Zhiyi Sets Up a Stall
[Never mind, I'm not really interested in watching it anyway, it's alright.]
The system couldn't help but chuckle.
[Host, just say you don't have money. No need to make excuses.]
"You're the one who's broke! I may not have a lot of money, but I do have some. I'm not short of cash, not to the point of not being able to afford a cup of tea at Yazhai. Wait, this Yazhai is actually the property of that stingy Minister of Personnel! Damn, am I the only official in the entire capital who's openly poor?"
Shen Zhiyi assumed that the newly appointed Minister of Personnel had spent all his salary on food, but she never expected him to have such a large amount of assets.
Only she was truly poor.
He Ling's breath hitched; he had never imagined that Ya Zhai was actually under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Personnel.
Wait a minute, no wonder he's a favorite of the Emperor, he actually dares to give such a high-ranking official a nickname.
Then he...
[This elegant study is just so-so, isn't it, system?]
The system no longer wanted to talk to Shen Zhiyi; its ugly face, contorted with envy, jealousy, and hatred, was completely distorted.
"See, see, I didn't say anything wrong. He Ling ostensibly went to the elegant study to be a storyteller, but in reality, he went there to meet his lover. Tsk tsk tsk, and that lover's identity is quite extraordinary."
Shen Zhiyi was engrossed in watching, completely ignoring He Ling's words.
Upon hearing Shen Zhiyi's words, the system curiously glanced at the surveillance footage and couldn't help but become excited.
[Host, this lover of He Ling looks somewhat familiar!]
Oh dear, how could she not look familiar? Isn't that the Sixth Princess?
Gasps of astonishment rose from the surrounding crowd, and the city officials couldn't help but look at their superiors with admiration.
That's awesome! That's incredibly awesome!
They actually managed to latch onto the princess's coattails.
No wonder he hasn't been home much lately, leaving his wife waiting every day. Turns out he's planning to dump her.
He Ling panicked. Shen Zhiyi was spreading rumors; he had no intention of kicking his wife out.
[Kick him out already, you're just wasting your wife's time. But the Sixth Princess is going to kick you out soon too. She's recently taken a fancy to a new handsome young man. He has a great voice and sings really well. You, the storyteller, are outdated.]
He Ling's face turned pale, and he couldn't finish his sentence.
This sixth princess gets bored with things way too quickly.
He didn't get any benefit at all!
Oh dear, what was He Ling just saying?
The system thoughtfully replayed the video for Shen Zhiyi, who, knowing how to set up a stall, smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you, sir. I understand."
He's heartbroken, you're happy, you know, and he's sad now.
He got kicked and then humiliated in front of his subordinates.
"It's alright, it's alright, as long as you're happy."
As he spoke, He Ling practically floated away.
Shen Zhiyi left satisfied with her stall number.
With this sign, she can set up her stall anytime.
You'll need to change your outfit.
She has three days off, no rush!
As soon as the person left, He Ling was immediately surrounded by people under his tree.
"What are you doing?"
"What a sir! You actually managed to get on the good side of the princess."
Speaking of this, He Ling's mood soured.
"I didn't hear what that living devil said, I got kicked."
"Being dumped is no big deal. Having been with the Sixth Princess is a great honor. If possible, could you introduce us to her?"
"Get lost! Do you think princesses are garbage collectors? You think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can go there?"
*
[Host, what are you doing?]
"Setting up a stall, huh?"
"To...to be a scammer? That's not right."
"What liar? You're being rude. I'm telling fortunes, and it's 100% accurate."
The system is in a state of disarray.
This system does not have fortune-telling functions and cannot predict the future.
"You don't need to predict the future. Just know what's happening in the past and present. As for the future, just make it up."
system:……
I never expected it to happen this way.
Shen Zhiyi, true to her word, changed into a Taoist robe, put on a fake beard, and sat down in the chair.
The bundle on the table was filled with clothes that had been changed out of their clothes.
"Cough cough cough."
Shen Zhiyi cleared her throat and began to call out.
"Fortune telling, fortune telling, no money back if it's inaccurate."
system:……
Who would have thought that Shen Zhiyi's way of making money was this?
In ancient times, many people were superstitious and feudal. When they heard that fortune telling was free, some people naturally took the bait.
But as soon as the other person saw Shen Zhiyi's face, they wanted to leave before they even had a chance to sit down.
Shen Zhiyi quickly called the person to stop.
"You're leaving without even saying what you want in return."
The man cursed, "You're so young and you're pretending to be old. You must be a fraud. Who are you trying to fool with that fake beard?"
Shen Zhiyi stared blankly, completely bewildered.
Is it really that obvious? It's not like that in the TV series!
A faint, mechanical voice came from the system.
[The TV series treats you like a fool, but you can't treat them like fools, host. You really don't look like a fortune teller at all.]
Enraged, Shen Zhiyi tore off the fake beard.
He might as well keep wearing the veil and continue to deceive people.
Soon enough, someone did arrive.
The person who came was a girl wearing a veil, who looked furtive.
But Shen Zhiyi knew at a glance that the other party had something to hide.
Suppressing his excitement, he feigned profundity and asked, "What brings you here, young lady?"
"I... I want to have my marriage fortune told."
At this point, the other person became shy.
"Marriage."
Shen Zhiyi drew out the words, internally screaming at the system.
[Since you haven't fixed any bugs, hurry up and get this girl's marriage status sorted out for me.]
[You can't predict our fate, host.]
[I didn't ask you to calculate, I just asked you to look. That expression clearly indicates something's up; she wants to know if that guy is reliable.]
The system quickly retrieved the monitoring data, much faster than Shen Zhiyi could find it herself.
[No wonder this girl is wearing a veil; she's the daughter of the Minister of Works, the ninth child in her family. Wow, the Minister of Works certainly has many children and grandchildren!]
"Hey, that's your daughter, you old man, no wonder you weren't saying anything earlier."
At this moment, a row of people stood at the window of a restaurant.
In the capital, there are no secrets. The news of Shen Zhiyi setting up a stall here quickly spread throughout the court. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone around was there to see what Shen Zhiyi was up to.
The Minister of Works remained silent, merely wiping the cold sweat from his forehead to ensure nothing out of the ordinary would happen.
It's really killing me.
[Holy crap, I knew it!]
The system followed the path.
You humans really know how to have fun.
Did the Minister of Works know about this? Probably not, and even his wife might not know.
The young woman in front of me is supposed to be engaged to the adopted son of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
At this point, all the civil and military officials began frantically searching for the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
Unfortunately, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was too busy to come.
But it's alright, the General of the Cavalry is here!
