Chapter 9 The Dream of the Richest Man
The wine and dishes were served. The southern dishes were quite particular, with fine workmanship and not much portion size. This was related to the personality of the southerners. The southerners were so elegant and paid attention to the state of things. Whether it was food, clothing, housing and transportation, or ancient style, they paid more attention to health and elegance. The shopkeepers served one meat and two vegetables, and a pot of hot flower carvings, which were extremely delicate in shape, but the portion was probably only enough to be stuck between the teeth.
Taixu was not polite and raised his chopsticks to chew heavily on the table. He looked like a wolf who had been hungry for several days, and his eating habits were quite ferocious.
Xiao Fan sat blankly, still in a state of shock.
Zhang Sanfeng, what an awesome person! Unexpectedly, after only a few days of traveling, I accidentally met this old immortal junior brother. He was really lucky. If I could really meet the legendary Zhenren Zhang, I would like to ask him to help his disciple Zhang Wuji, learn the Nine Yang Divine Arts or the Great Transfer of the Universe, and then I would ask for some methods of alchemy. Then I would mix some sour plum juice, white flour and other things. It would not only harm people, nor could I let people ascend in the daytime. Under the banner of "Zhang Zhenren's exclusive secret recipe, dedicated to his dedication", if sold, how much is it worth, and the shortcut to get rich...
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan became more and more excited. He seemed to see the throne of the richest man in Jiangpu County waving to him...
Xiao Fan turned his head excitedly and said excitedly: "When will your senior brother..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Fan suddenly stopped his mouth. He saw Taixu, like a beggar, with his hands directly reaching into the dish and grabbing the dishes. He ate the mouth so hard that he was very ugly. He swallowed voraciously, like the wind swept the remaining clouds.
Xiao Fan felt as if he had been poured with a basin of cold water on his head and immediately calmed down.
He suddenly realized that the character of Taoist Master Taixu was really questionable. To be honest, he was just a liar in the world. He said that he was Zhang Sanfeng's junior brother, and he might also be a lie. If Zhang Sanfeng had such a junior brother who was a bad genius and looked more like a beggar than a beggar, he probably should have examined whether he had abused his junior brother too much for more than a beggar over the past hundred years. He is a land god and is extremely honored. How could his junior brother be so miserable?
Xiao Fan smiled and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. Where there are people, it is true that the world is the world of rivers and lakes. There are traps and lies everywhere in the world. He is a time traveler, but he is still deceived by ancient people. The world is so sinister.
After tapping the table gently, Xiao Fan automatically skipped Zhang Sanfeng's topic and frowned and said, "You said on the street just now that I was possessed by a demon. How do you say this?"
Taixu Zi'er drank a sip of wine, sighed with satisfaction, then burped, then rolled his eyes slowly and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed..."
Seeing Xiao Fan's expression was not kind from the corner of his eyes, Taixu smiled quickly and said, "Actually, you are possessed by a demon... This is just my intuition..."
I'm sure, this old bastard is just lying.
The so-called "demon possession" is just a gimmick to deceive him into having a meal, and it has the same meaning as the title party on the forum in the previous life.
Xiao Fan clenched his fists under the table. He wanted to scold him, "The author is **, and the appraisal has been completed."
Turning his head and seeing Taixu looking pitiful, Xiao Fan sighed again, forget it, he was so old that he wanted to have a full meal just to have a full meal. It was pitiful.
When Taixu saw Xiao Fan sighing, he was also embarrassed. He seemed to be magical. He took out a sign from somewhere and said pitifully: "Why... I'll give you a 18-character character?"
Xiao Fan: “…………”
"It's okay to count the passing years, the future of the marriage..."
Xiao Fan sighed to the sky and murmured: "Forget it, even a piece of toilet paper should play its role... If you really feel sorry for it, just calculate for me, when will I get rich?"
Taixu sneered and blurted out: "How fresh! I want to know when I will get rich. As for the fact that I still cheat food and drinks... Cough cough, Amitabha Buddha, I have lost my words. Come on, Brother Xiao, tell me your birth date and horoscope, I will calculate it for you."
Xiao Fan felt more and more sad when he heard this. This old man was real, but Xiao Fan felt very uncomfortable. An ancient old man easily deceived himself into a meal. This was a trivial matter, but Xiao Fan felt a sense of frustration in his heart. In ancient times... it was really hard to get through! It was only a month in the morning that he had set a lofty goal to become the richest man in Jiangpu County. In less than two hours, Xiao Fan was shaken by this goal. The old liar's butterfly wings gently waved his butterfly wings and slapped the dream of a progressive young man's richest man. It was really a sin. He could not redeem it even if he recited "Amitabha Buddha".
"Birthday and Eight Characters?" Xiao Fan smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know my birth date and Eight Characters..."
Taixu immediately showed sympathy: "So, are you a homeless orphan?"
Xiao Fan hesitated and said, "...I'm not considered an orphan either. I live in my father-in-law's house now, but I don't know how many more days I can stay..."
"Your father-in-law is..."
"A wealthy businessman in Jiangpu County, Chen Siliu."
Taixu was shocked: "So you are the son-in-law of the Chen family!"
Xiao Fan couldn't help but touch his nose and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I was so famous in Jiangpu County..."
Taixu smiled dryly, and his eyes at Xiao Fan were obviously very different, and it was hard to tell whether it was sympathy or regret.
"Your reputation is really great. I wandered around. I have only been here in Jiangpu County for a month and I have known your name. It's really... Alas, even if it's my honor!"
Honor is honor, and even "even if it is"...
Xiao Fan smiled bitterly and said, "You can't say anything you don't want to say polite words. Since you have said it, why not say it more hypocritical and make me happy?"
Taixu smiled and said, "It's true that you are famous. When Chen Siliu took you in, he showed off his pride all over the street, saying that the Chen family is not a family that loves the rich, and that the friendship is worth a thousand gold, and why don't you regret the relatives because of the poor and humble family? Because of the inclusion of you, the Chen family's integrity sign was well established in Jiangpu County, and the Chen family's business became more and more prosperous... As a result, after four years, Chen Siliu gradually stopped talking about these words on his face. When outsiders mentioned Chen's son-in-law to him, Chen Siliu said sternly without saying anything. It was people who could see that he had a plan to regret his marriage. Now the people and merchants in Jiangpu County are waiting to see when Chen Siliu will repent and regret this marriage and drive you out of the Chen Mansion..."
Xiao Fan suddenly realized it. No wonder he was frivolous about the weathering incident of Baoqin, so Chen Siliu didn't drive him out. It turned out that he knew that this son-in-law could not drive it, at least now, otherwise the reputation of the Chen family would have become bad.
Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "It seems that being famous is also a good thing. If my cowardly son-in-law was unknown in Jiangpu, he would have been wandering on the streets long ago..."
Taixu's eyes were observing Xiao Fan for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I say something simple and profound, Brother Xiao, I can see that you are not a thing in the pool, and there will always be a day when you rise up, so why should you be despised and be entrusted to others all day long?"
Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Of course I don't want to live under someone else's roof, so I came out today to see what ways to make money. The Book of Changes says: A gentleman strives for self-improvement. As a man, even if he can't dominate the world, he should at least support himself..."
When Taixu heard this, he immediately felt awe-inspiring and bowed to Xiao Fan and said seriously: "Young Master Xiao is a talented man, how dare you ask about your ambition?"
This question was too familiar. Xiao Fan was so energetic that he blurted out without thinking: "Dong Zhuo, known as the prime minister of Han, is actually a traitor in Han. I should rise up and attack him..."
Taixu was stunned: "…………”
Xiao Fan smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, you asked so handsomely. If you don't answer like this, it would be unsatisfactory..."
Taixu wipes sweat: "…………”
