My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 220 I’m just being polite

Soon the three of them arrived at the top of the mountain. After confirming that Wan Sutong was willing to spend the 0533 points, chose a suitable location and placed the bricks in a square.

After making sure that everything was in order, 0533 looked back at Wan Sutong and said, "Thirty nails, three thousand points, and a roll of red string..."

Wan Sutong interrupted him before he could finish his words. "What kind of nails are only 0533 cents each?"

0533 then showed Wan Sutong the picture, and saw that the nails in the picture were exactly the same as modern iron nails, but 0533 calmly introduced, "This is not a modern nail, this is called a round cap nail."

Wan Sutong punched 0533 in the face, then turned his right wrist and looked at 0533. "Tell me again what kind of nail is this? How much is one penny?"

0533 He smiled and lowered his head, then he said timidly, "Modern iron nails, fifty for one penny."

Wu Zheng burst out laughing when he heard this, "Hahahahahahaha, hey, one penny for fifty, hahahahahahahahaha"

Wan Sutong nodded and touched 0533's head with great satisfaction. "Tongtong, if you want to earn more, just tell me. Even if I give you points, it's fine. How could you lie to me? You asked me to buy nails and then where should I put them? Or should I sell them for points?"

0533 lowered his head even lower, and kept poking his hands. "Host, I was wrong." Then he raised his head cautiously and looked at Wan Sutong. "Host, are you serious when you said you would give me points?"

Wan Sutong was so angry at 0533 that she snorted and laughed, then gritted her teeth and said, "Of course it's true."

0533 Hearing this, he immediately kissed Wan Sutong on the face happily, "Thank you, host! You are really the best host I have ever met."

Wan Sutong smiled brightly upon hearing this, and said proudly, "That is..."

Zhao Jinghua looked at Wan Sutong with her head held high and her chest puffed out, and turned her head slightly and chuckled.

Wan Sutong clenched his fist and coughed, "Thirty nails and fifty meters of red line, how many points?"

0533 After hearing this, he sighed heavily. "These cannot be bought separately. Fifty nails are worth one point, and one kilometer of red line is worth fifty points, for a total of fifty-one points." As soon as Wan Sutong finished speaking, a box of nails and a roll of red line appeared in his hand.

Wan Sutong immediately created a desk, opened the nails and placed them on the table, then looked at Zhao Jinghua with shining eyes.

Zhao Jinghua picked up the teapot on the table with a smile, poured water into the inkstone, and then picked up the cinnabar ink block to grind the ink. Seeing this, Wan Sutong was about to raise her hand to help but was stopped by Zhao Jinghua, "No need."

At this time, Qingtuan appeared on the table. "How about I do it?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly and handed the cinnabar ink block to Qingtuan. "Thank you." Then he transformed a ceramic teacup and said, "Just fill the cup."

Qingtuan took the ink block with a sigh and lowered his head. "I'm just being polite." Although Qingtuan said this, he still began to grind the ink diligently.

The three of them laughed at the same time. Wan Sutong raised her hand and touched Qingtuan's head. "You raise an army for a thousand days but only use it for a moment? Besides, you've become fat as a ball. You should exercise more."

After hearing this, Qingtuan sighed helplessly and said, "Okay."

Zhao Jinghua picked up thirty nails and walked to the center of the stone brick. When he turned his palm upward, the nails floated up. When he withdrew his hand, the nails were nailed in thirty different positions in an instant, forming a Bagua diagram. Wan Sutong applauded repeatedly, "Wow, my husband is so amazing!"

"Madam, thank you for your praise." Zhao Jinghua jumped up and then slowly landed beside the desk.

At this time, Qingtuan was grinding ink with great effort. Finally, when he poured the cinnabar ink from the inkstone into the teacup for the fourth time, the teacup was full.

"I'm so tired!" After saying this, Qingtuan carefully placed the inkstone on the table, then lay on his back on the table.

Wan Sutong very attentively picked up the brush and handed it to Zhao Jinghua, "Husband, you can't make a mistake, right?"

Zhao Jinghua took the brush and chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes." He picked up the teacup on the table and walked towards the Bagua diagram.

Zhao Jinghua dipped a brush in a little cinnabar ink and then squatted down to write the oracle bone inscription on the periphery of the Bagua diagram. "This formation will take at least two hours to set up. If you find it boring, you can follow Wu Zheng to the bandit camp in the east to take a look. Good and bad cannot be generalized. Be careful in everything. If you use money to ward off disasters, don't give too much or too little. People's hearts are unpredictable."

Wan Sutong jumped three feet high with excitement after hearing this. "Great! I'll go right away!" Then he raised his hand and put his arm around Wu Zheng's shoulder. "Brother, are you going east all the way?"

Wu Zheng nodded and then asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Didn't you just say that it was unsafe and we couldn't go? Why are you letting us go now?"

Wan Sutong patted Wu Zheng's shoulder with a chuckle. "Oh, the nature is different, isn't it? Your brother-in-law means that we don't necessarily have to build good relationships with them. Let's go and see. If they are extremely vicious, we will get rid of them for the people, and then let me be careful. If they are decent people, in order to prevent them from blocking the mountain road, I will spend money to avoid disaster."

Wu Zheng scratched his head as if he understood. "Then don't say too much or too little. People's minds are hard to predict. I understand the second half of the sentence, but I don't quite understand the whole thing."

Wan Sutong shrugged and said, "You can't give too much or too little. If you give too little, they won't care about the money. If you give too much, they will have bad intentions."

Wu Zheng nodded in sudden realization, "Oh, it seems that speaking is indeed a science."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Sutong raised her hand and hit Wu Zheng on the back of his head. "You! You are still an old general, but you have lived in vain! Don't you understand this?"

Wu Zheng was embarrassed when he heard this. "Oh, sister, didn't the system administrator say that I'm only fifteen?"

0533 Then, a bunch of digital codes came out with a spit.

Wan Sutong took back her arm from Wu Zheng's shoulder with disdain, and then looked at him with disdain, "Hey~ You're already thirty-five in total, and you're still fifteen..."

Wu Zheng was very unconvinced and retorted, "As far as I know, Prime Minister Wan's daughter is 23 this year, and you are 44!"

Wan Sutong heard this and said angrily, "Hey! You are wrong! I traveled through time when the original owner was four years old. If you count it this way, I am only forty-one. Besides, you were fifteen when you came to the mortal world, but more than a hundred years have passed in the human world. You and Eunuch Chen are probably about the same age."

Seeing this, 0533 quickly spoke up to persuade them, "You two, why are you arguing after just getting together? It's not a big deal over such a small matter!"

Wan Sutong turned his head and snorted, "Tsk, it's disgusting for a grown man to act like a spoiled brat."

Wu Zheng also tilted his head and snorted, "Tsk, you are prejudiced against me! The senior girls in school all call me little puppy. Besides, my brother-in-law likes me too! I like him to touch my head the most! And he calls me wolf cub!"

Wan Sutong burst out laughing after hearing this, then came to Wu Zheng and held up Wu Zheng's face, laughing as she spoke, "Oh, my little brother, hahahaha your brother-in-law treats you like a dog, hahahaha, you've suffered for so many years, hahahaha!"
