Chapter 62 Four Master's Friends(1/2)
The whole hall was filled with people quickly, and there was a bowl of meat porridge in front of everyone, but except for Xiao Zhiling and Liu Ruiying, no one moved his chopsticks.
He saw a young man who must have been hungry, staring at the meat porridge in front of him and swallowed his saliva, but he did not dare to pick up the bowl and swallow it voraciously.
Until then, one person got down from the upper floor and walked straight to the empty head in the middle.
When everyone saw him, they stood up and bowed, nodded and nodded with a smile.
Liu Ruiying looked familiar with people, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them for a while.
When everyone started eating porridge, he and Xiao Zhiling had already put down the bowls and chopsticks, and the plate of beef on the table was also seen.
"Don't you know this person?"
The little clever one is best at observing words and expressions. No matter how many people are present, they can see their eyebrows and eyes.
"Familiar, but I don't remember..."
Liu Ruiying shook her head and said.
The man was carrying a wide knife on his side, and his body was black.
Liu Ruiying knew that this kind of steel was called Wugang. It was also refined from the most ordinary iron and stone, but the process was extremely complicated and could only be mastered by a few iron smelting families. And it was never rumored, so it was difficult to see on the streets.
If it really compares it, it is even rarer than the Ou Family Sword.
When Zhenbeiwang Realm, Liu Ruiying saw that there were many decorations made of black steel on the frame of Zhenbeiwang.
Iron ore is produced there, and there are families like Qingfu with a profound background. As a prince, it is normal for some rare objects.
Whether he likes it or not, is this kind of thing used to decorate the storefront? Poor families still have clothes for their body faces when they go out.
But weapons made of black steel are more unusual than decoration.
Judging from the attitude of everyone towards him just now, this idea can also be proved.
"I seem to know him?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Jin Ye's Mansion."
Little clever voice lowered his voice.
Liu Ruiying's mind suddenly became clear.
He suddenly remembered that when he was drinking in Jin Ye’s mansion, there was a large table of people, including Xiao Zhiling. However, later Jueyinshu came to find a job, so Liu Ruiying had to leave the table first and go to solve the problem, so he didn’t have a deep impression of the people present.
The people at that table were all friends of Mr. Jin.
He is rich, generous, and not stingy. Such a person will not worry about having no friends wherever he goes.
But how affectionate these friends are is another matter, but at least when they drink wine, they will definitely call you and come.
And they will concentrate on drinking only. In that short moment, they will forget all their worries, forget their identities, misunderstandings and frictions.
The man with a black steel knife on his waist was named Chen, and his single name was the character "Tiger".
In addition, his daily behavior is often insane and full of energy, giving people a feeling of being a tiger in a tiger's spirit, so many people call him "Chen Huzi".
This kind of nickname is usually not dared to call it out in person, and they are all whispered behind their backs.
But Chen Hu is an exception. Not only is he not angry, he is very happy that he has such a catchy nickname.
According to his own words, when doing things, his parents gave him the "tiger head and tiger brain" and thus, the four tigers were surrounded by them. Therefore, they also had a nickname called Chen Sihu.
This name is more famous than Chen Huzi. Although he is the leader of the Chen family, his friends from all over the family and outside call him the "Fourth Master".
For a person, "tiger spirit in a tiger" means being straight-hearted, broad-minded, and not holding grudges. "tiger head and tiger brain" look a little silly and cute while not losing its cuteness.
Being friends with the Fourth Master and being friends with the Jin Master are the only choice.
The difference is that the Chen family where the Fourth Master is located is, even if they are not the best-selling group, they are one of the best in the Pingnan King Realm.
In that city, the Fourth Master himself knew half of the city. The Fourth Master did not know the remaining half of the city, but they knew the Fourth Master. After all, they could all be regarded as the Fourth Master’s friends.
Things are precious because they are rare, but when there are more things, they are worthless.
At the beginning, people couldn't tell the difference between real and fake, and when they saw the "Fourth Master's friend" coming, they were extremely attentive.
I wish I could stick them all up just to win such a name. Even if this name does not bring any benefits to them, as long as it sounds nice, they will do anything.
But no matter how big the family business is, it cannot withstand these "friends" coming to create things every day.
Often, there were about twenty people in the previous group. They ate, drank and played in the Chen family's industries for several days. When they were about to leave, a group of "friends" came again, and the two gangs did not know each other.
It’s like going to an inn, without leaving anything, but taking away a lot of things. Such a deficit is not something that ordinary people can bear.
As time goes by, the Chen family gradually learned the truth about these "friends", so they sternly told the Fourth Master that unless he comes forward in person or writes notes, it will be impossible for anyone to use his name.
If such a person is not covered by a good family, he will definitely die of poverty on the roadside. Fortunately, Mr. Chen is a good-looking man. Although he is a boss, he is a half-military, but his younger brothers are all very capable and have no worries about the property left by his ancestors.
One is stupid and the other is lazy.
But neither of these two types of Master Chen is.
Although he is so arrogant when doing things, no one has ever thought it makes him stupid. And he is so diligent about things he is interested in.
Unfortunately, all he is interested in is money-spending. He doesn't make any money, and he's thrown away in vain.
Usually, I either practice knife or chase and bet with others.
Not long ago, he had just visited the Zhenbei King Realm and talked about the "literary dragon and tiger fighting" in Zhongdu City at the dinner table. Master Jin mentioned the verbal talk and said that Huo Wang's old brother, Ye Wei, the previous generation's highest Onmyoji, and his apprentice Xiao Jinkan, also went to Zhongdu.
Mr. Jin originally intended to show that he knew Liu Ruiying, and Liu Ruiying and Xiao Jinkan's friendship was so fierce. If he replaced it like this, wouldn't it mean that he also met Xiao Jinkan, one of the contemporary supreme Onmyoji?
But Mr. Chen, who is "tiger in a tiger", and "tiger head and tiger brain", cannot hear the implication, and even did not let Mr. Jin finish his show off.
"Isn't it just an Onmyoji? What awesomeness... I bet with you that as long as I am willing to study, it will definitely be the same if I don't have three months."
As for the bet, at that time, in someone’s mansion, there were only clothes left beside him except for a black steel knife.
He was drunk and slapped his forehead, and then he bet on the Wugang Knife, which he regarded as life, as a bet. The two agreed to see each other again in three months. Mr. Chen Si must have a good fortune for Mr. Jin. At the worst, he had to test a word to be considered a win.
Mr. Chen Si bet that he never let the other party place any equal bets.
It is mainly because he lacks nothing. Even if he doesn't have anything, no one else has it. So the bet becomes dispensable.
After the two agreed, they didn't even finish the glass of wine, so Mr. Chen hurried back home and asked his servants to collect books on Yin-Yang techniques throughout the city, and also posted a list on the street, 10,000 taels of gold to hire a real-life Onmyoji to teach him.
This is almost his own private property.
When the younger brothers saw that the boss was making trouble again, they thickened the door panel of the warehouse overnight and replaced the lock core with a new one.
This is a lesson that can be learned so quickly and accurately.
As long as there is no big deal, just make a big deal and it will not affect the family's livelihood. In fact, with the Chen family's status in the King of Pingnan, unless it is leaked, what else can be considered a big deal?
If you want to leak the sky, you must have this ability.
No matter how "tiger a tiger is in a tiger", the real tiger will not go to heaven, let alone him, a fake tiger.
This time I came to Weicheng, and as his identity, I don’t have to stay in the inn overnight, waiting for the Ou family to open the access control.
But he had been staying in this inn for five days, and it was two days earlier than Xiao Zhiling.
In the dangerous city, the Hu family sells wine and the Ou family buys people, but Mr. Chen Si also has his own plans.
The Chen family is located in a total of only two or three Onmyoji, and they are all half-bottles. Those who come from other places are almost all liars. I thought that even if I can’t get ten thousand taels of gold, I can at least have a few delicious meals.
It's like some scammers in the world, who only keep a temporary benefit and ignore their long-term reputation.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen’s method of taking the school was really unique. He personally asked three questions. The first question: Are there ghosts in the world? The second question: Are there gods in the world? The third question: Calculate what I will eat for lunch tomorrow.
The first two questions are easy to say, but they are nothing more than having or not.
Since you all pretend to be Onmyoji, of course you have to fill it in.
Although the last question is a bit difficult, it cannot stop someone from thinking too much.
What Mr. Chen eats at the Chen family? He can buy it from the servants of the Chen family. If he goes out to a restaurant, the shopkeeper of the restaurant is even more jealous of money. As long as he gives enough money, he will only worry that he has said too much and is difficult to tell, not too little.
Eating this kind of thing is entirely based on your interest. Whoever can tell you completely and accurately? Even if you give money, you may not be able to make a clear statement.
The servants of the Chen family were extremely resistant at the beginning. Even the servants in this family had a strong sense of belonging. They could not do anything to betray their master.
What's more, this is a life matter closely related to the master.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen's younger brothers smelled business opportunities.
They secretly told the servants, don’t worry, and boldly said that the money was all over the sky. When the other side gave the money, they would just say a few dishes to make do with it, and then the Chen family would share the money with you.
In this way, the constraints were gone, but the entire Chen family became boiling from top to bottom.
Mr. Chen Si only chose halfway through choosing Mr. Onmyoji, and the Chen family was about to earn back the tuition he promised to go out.
It is said that murder and setting fire to the gold belt, but it is just such a group of fools who believed the Fourth Master’s trouble and rushed to give money to the Chen family.
The money spent is over a thousand taels of gold a year old, and the people who spend money are happy because the person who gives him the clearest is the head chef of the Chen family.
When I think of myself as having the most true faith, ten thousand taels are within my control, why do I care about one thousand taels? I can’t bear to leave my child and can’t trap the wolf. At critical moments, I can’t do anything without some courage.
The final result was that Mr. Chen Si looked at the answer sheets one by one, which was like looking at the menu in a wine shop.
He has been here for more than 40 years to eat and drink, but there are still many dishes that he has never heard of... In anger, he received the notice and headed straight to the dangerous city.
To be continued...
