This was the first time Zhang Yan said such words to his little sister, and he also put this matter on the table for everyone in the family to know.
Wang Lanping was stunned at first. She almost wanted to speak but finally closed her mouth and did not say anything. I just looked at my second son, and then at my little daughter whose face was red with excitement, and finally smiled in my heart.
Although it is not appropriate for a daughter's family to be an outsider, children have their own blessings. Judging from the attitude of his second brother, will he still make his daughter suffer in the future? Just be happy to let her brother make the decision for her!
"Hahaha, little sister, did you hear that? Your second brother is arranging your future! Take some time and study hard. In the future, eldest brother, I will wait for you to help me become the shopkeeper!" Zhang Shun laughed. He often stayed with his little sister during this period, and felt that she was really suitable for business, as she was good at talking and had a bright mind. From now on, there will be no problem at all. But Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his little sister's appearance when she was learning calligraphy and accounting.
However, Zhang Shun's teasing did not go unnoticed by Zhang Huiyuan. At this time, she understood exactly what her second brother meant. That was an extremely rare choice for a woman from Nanyuan Kingdom, the right to choose her own future life.
Although Zhang Huiyuan is always in a hurry, she looks like she has not grown up. You must know that before Zhang Yan came back, when the Zhang family was in the most difficult situation, Zhang Huiyuan was responsible for most of the family on her shoulders. She was a woman with a strong heart and a resolute character. Facing her future life, she longs for more and more freedom. But before today, it was just a dream. For most women in Nanyuan Kingdom, their final destination is to support their husbands and raise children after getting married.
"Second brother, you, you didn't lie to me?"
"Why are you lying to you? It's not like you don't know how good your eldest brother's business is. I just said that after my eldest brother gets married, I will go to Xiangkou to take over the new shop and open a semi-colon. Then he will inevitably In the past, you will sit here in Langyuan City first. Isn’t this how the big shopkeeper can be trained little by little. But the premise is that your calligraphy can pass the test and you must be able to read and calculate accounts. Otherwise, I will treat you like a decoration. What’s the use?”
"Second brother, I'll study! I'll study hard every night from now on! I won't let you down!" After all, she was a sensible woman, and Zhang Huiyuan knew that she had to seize the opportunity in front of her. At the same time, he glanced at his mother, who was sitting next to him, smiling and saying nothing, and knew in his heart that his mother also acquiesced to this matter. For a moment, her pretty face flushed with excitement.
Zhang Yan smiled and nodded.
But after dinner, when Zhang Yan took the exam for Zhang Huiyuan, he still had to hit the palms of his hands. The pain caused tears to well up in the little woman's eyes. But he remained silent. And he said that he would definitely not be slapped again next time he takes the exam.
Zhang Yan had to leave before curfew. Before leaving, I asked Wang Lanping for a lot of colored paper. I also took away some firewood sticks from the kitchen and found a coil of string. When asked what he was taking it for, he just said he was making some small things, and the family members were vague and didn't ask any more questions.
When Zhang Yan opened his home in Zhuzui Lane, he didn't see Zhang Huiyuan coming out to see him off. This is the first time. The little girl was now throwing herself on the book with all her strength. Anyway, this was the first time Zhang Yan saw her caring so much about anything.
Back to the new house. Zhang Yan placed the paper talisman to guard the door as before, and then returned to his house. But this time I didn't practice. Instead, I put the colored paper and firewood sticks I brought from my home in Zhuzui Lane on the table, and went to find a knife.
Cut the firewood stick into a small section as thick as your little finger, and then tie it with a string to make a rectangular shape, about the width of your palm and half a foot high.
Then cut the colored paper and stick it on the frame. Finally, it forms a box that is closed on all sides, leaving the bottom and the front open.
He also took out the cinnabar and pen that he had been saving. After it melted away, he traced out sigils on the colored paper stroke by stroke, forming a complex formation. It's just that these talismans are different from those that Zhang Yan usually wears. They seem to have an inexplicable sense of depression and disgust that makes them want to tear them up.
The thing Zhang Yan built is called the "Fa Taiwan". If you look at it and feel depressed and disgusted, then you are right, because this thing is not the right method. It is a new technique after the Dao Dan realm.
After finishing the magic circle on the altar, Zhang Yan took out some of Wu Yuan's hair that he had collected from his arms and placed them in the altar. Then a white candle was lit and stood in front of the altar.
Carefully sense the status of the altar, especially whether it is in normal condition after being activated by spiritual energy. After everything was correct, Zhang Yan picked up a stack of talisman papers and continued to draw. This time he drew a total of twenty-five chapters of talismans in one breath. Each one was slightly different. It seemed that the strokes of talismans on them were increasing progressively according to the order in which he drew them, and became more and more complicated as he went on.
Like the magic platform that was made before, these talismans also belong to the category of the art of hating victory. And it is also a new technique that Zhang Yan can use now that he has entered the Dao Dan realm.
After drawing the twenty-five talismans, Zhang Yan took out the five that he had drawn at the beginning, and placed the remaining twenty in the four directions of the altar, together with the white candles lit in front of him. Surrounded by the altar.
"The first day." Zhang Yan took out the first talisman paper and lit it on the white candle. At the same time, he made seals with his other hand and muttered something silently in his mouth. I saw the talisman burning and turning into fine ash, but it did not float away. Instead, it seemed to be sucked by an invisible force, forming a small strand that circled and fell on the hair in the altar, covering it thinly, almost Not very visible.
After that, Zhang Yan did not stop, but burned all the five talismans he pulled out, and all the falling ashes were sucked by the invisible force and spread on the few hairs in the altar. .
After doing this, Zhang Yan was finished with today's work. He glanced at the white candle still burning in front of the altar and the hair in the altar, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There were four days before the wedding of eldest brother Zhang Shun, and there were still four stacks of talisman paper on the table. When the burning was completed, the few hairs were completely covered by the paper ash, and Wu Yuan's life was gone.
The time was also just right. As Zhou Cang said, Wu Yuan wanted to report illness and return to his hometown. He should probably leave Langyuan City in three to four days, and then there would be less trouble dying on the road. There is a huge difference between the sudden death of a local official on duty and the sudden death of a local official who has left his job. Zhou Cang also meant to remind Zhang Yan not to rush into action, as one less trouble is one less trouble.
However, although Zhang Yan clearly acknowledged this matter personally, it was equivalent to acquiescing to Zhou Cang's speculation. In disguise, he also reveals his other side which is more powerful. Let people know that he is not a so-called scholar who only knows how to make elixirs and make wheelchairs. He can also kill people, and he can kill people without leaving any trace.
