The next day, Li Chuyi and the others said goodbye to the Liang Mansion and walked out. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
When the two left, Liang Yiwen thanked him again and kept it, and when he saw that the two of them had made up their minds, he didn't say anything more, and presented the thank you gift that had been prepared.
Holding the silver ticket of 20,000 taels, Li Chu was a little trembling in his hand.
I have followed the Taoist priest for so many years, and at most I have saved 500 taels, and 20,000 taels of silver tickets have never been touched. What a piece of money that has to be paved into cash!
Well, what's important is to be put in the important place.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Li Chuyi secretly pulled open his pants and stuffed the silver ticket into the hidden pocket of his crotch.
The bird is close to the money hidden, but it can't be stolen.
The Taoist priest was indifferent, with a fairy wind and bones, and he was not moved by gold and silver vulgar things. was even more disdainful of Li Chu's move to hide the money, and looked at the turtle with a look.
Li Chuyi was very surprised by the Taoist priest's indifferent performance, especially when he saw that the Taoist priest took out a few handwritten talismans and gave them to Liang Yiwen, and as a result, he was even more stunned when he exchanged for more than 2,000 taels of silver tickets.
Why, I'm still tender, this old liar!
As for other jewelry and jade items sent by Liang Yiwen, both of them were grateful and insensitive.
Just kidding, such a big box of things, and the two of them don't have a white dragon horse, how can they take it?
Li Chuyi actually wanted to ask Liang Yiwen if these things that could not be taken away could be discounted, but thinking about the silver ticket in the crotch of his pants, he decided not to ask.
The master said that people should not be too greedy.
In the end, Li Chuyi, who was reluctant, picked a pair of exquisitely crafted golden bells from the box of jewelry and jade and hung them around his waist, followed the Taoist priest, and reluctantly walked out of the Liang Mansion under the congratulations of everyone all the way.
"Alas..... This Liang Yiwen is really rich!" Walking on the streets of the city, Li Chuyi sighed.
"Hmph, it's just a little silver tael, it's just a drop in the bucket for him, and you're an ignorant turtle who loses Lao Tzu's face. The Taoist priest sneered, "Do you think this surnamed Liang is just as simple as having money? Think about where he lives, can he live in that place if he is rich? If there is nothing behind it, can he keep it just because he has money?"
Li Chu was stunned for a moment, and then heard the Taoist priest continue: "And his wife, do you think that he is from an ordinary background? Can an ordinary big family be harmed by people with these phoenix blood mirrors? This kind of thing is difficult even for monks like us to see, let alone that he is ordinary?"
After a pause, the Taoist priest said gloomily: "Think about it, even if all the restaurants are opened by him, do you think he has the ability to throw tens of thousands of taels at will? Young man, don't think so simply." The silver ticket in the crotch of your pants is the fat and ointment of the people who suffer the people somewhere. β
Li Chuyi was silent. Although I feel that what the Taoist priest said is a bit exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, this Liang Yiwen should indeed not be an ordinary businessman. It is estimated that the Taoist priest saw something, and he was afraid that he would have something to do with Liang Yiwen and get into trouble, so he resolutely did not live in Liang's mansion, and took such a large sum of money when he left. In this way, even if he is implicated in the future, the Taoist priest can also have something to say, "Employment relationship, you pay me to do things."
Both of them fell silent and walked quietly on the road.
After walking for a long time, Li Chuyi scratched his head, turned his head and asked, "Then where are we going now?"
"Go see the excitement. The Taoist priest replied lightly.
"Are you going to see the triennial 'Wuyang List' competition?" asked Li Chuyi excitedly. The three-year Wuyang List Contest starts today.
The Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi and said disdainfully: "You really arch outward when you say that you are a turtle, what is so good about that competition that breaks the list? The monkey recites poetry and grasshoppers fight, do you think that I am such a naΓ―ve level as a teacher?"
Li Chuyi, who was scolded for no reason, automatically skipped the Taoist priest's ridicule, and still asked excitedly: "Then what are we going to see the excitement?"
The Taoist priest smiled slightly, approached Li Chuyi, and whispered, "Let's go and see who fell worse than a group of stupid geese." β
Li Chuyi was confused.
Who is worse off than a flock of stupid geese? What is the difference between this and the Taoist priest saying that monkeys chant poems and grasshoppers fight? Is the level high?
Shaking his head, knowing that following the Taoist priest always does not suffer, he no longer asked. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and you will know when the time comes.
"Then let's go. Li Chuyi straightened his backpack and said to the Taoist priest.
"Where are you going?" the Taoist priest was a little strange.
"Look at the goose wrestling, didn't you just say it?" Li Chuyi, did this Taoist priest laugh badly last night?
The Taoist priest twitched his face and said coldly: "When did Lao Tzu say that it is now?
Li Chuyi sighed helplessly, this Taoist priest always doesn't speak four or six. Patiently, he asked again, "Then where are we going now?"
"Well, there is nothing to do left and right, it is still far from the evening, and the buildings of Piaoxiang Building and Red Sleeve Zhai have not opened, so let's go to the venue of the Wuyang List to find a restaurant to eat and drink, and take a look at those monkeys and grasshoppers to perform to relieve boredom. The Taoist priest was a little helpless, as if he was deeply helpless about the rule that the Qinglou was not open during the day.
Li Chuyi pouted.
Isn't this still going to see the Five Yang List? What's the difference between this and what I said at the beginning?
I only dare to think about it, but Li Chuyi doesn't dare to say it.
After packing his bags again, Li Chuyi followed the Taoist priest and walked to the competition venue of the "Wuyang List" in Nancheng District.
The big competition of the "Wuyang List" once every three years is an extremely important thing in Wuyang City. Every time the day of the opening of the Wuyang List, the residents of Wuyang City are like a festival, from the dignitaries and nobles, to the peddlers and pawns, all of them are walking through the streets and alleys, lively and lively, and the temple fair is general.
The competition venue of the "Wuyang List" is a piece of land specially set aside in the city, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, which is used as a market venue on weekdays, and on the day of the "Wuyang List", it is used as a competition venue.
When Li Chuyi and the two arrived, the surrounding area of the venue had already been crowded by residents watching the excitement. Li Chuyi relied on the "swimming fish body method" practiced since childhood, twisted left and right and followed the Taoist priest in the crowd with difficulty, during which he was patronized by countless golden fingers and touched a lot, Li Chuyi didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't know.
Anyway, it's hidden in the crotch of your pants, and you have the ability to dig out the file?
When he squeezed out of the crowd, Rao is Li Chuyi Xuangong was in his body, and he was also tired and sweaty. On the other hand, the Taoist priest is still the handsome man who is breezy and calm, not to mention sweat, and even the dust is not stained a little more.
Recalling the Taoist priest's unknown method, the leisurely appearance of the crowd automatically separating in front of him, Li Chuyi could only secretly scold "old monster" in his heart.
I found the closest restaurant to the venue, and as expected, it was full. However, when the Taoist priest lightly patted the head of the shopkeeper of the restaurant with a silver ticket of one hundred taels, the shopkeeper immediately squeezed a "elegant seat" by the window on the highest third floor, and put a screen on it as a block.
The wine and food were served one after another, but Li Chuyi's heart was bleeding.
One hundred taels, just this was taken away by the Taoist priest's "light wind"?
Although I am worth tens of thousands now, I can't spend it like this!
Loser!
Li Chuyi was distressed, and looked at the Taoist priest with the eyes of a loser.
"Alright, put away your useless eyes, don't embarrass me with a dirty face. The Taoist priest poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said lightly.
"But, that's a hundred taels!" Li Chuyi was still distressed.
The Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi: "Can you sit here without a hundred taels? Without a hundred taels, can you have a private seat by the window? There is also a screen to block it? You have tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in your crotch, can you sit in the hall with peace of mind?" After speaking, the Taoist priest turned his head to look out the window, "Remember, good steel should be used on the blade, and only things outside the body, life will not bring death and not take it away, you must care too much, and if you are too persistent, you will lose your heart." β
Li Chuyi thought about it and felt that what the Taoist priest said made sense. Let yourself sit in the hall with tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, and you will definitely not be able to sit in the porcelain, so you will not say more.
looked at Linglang's eyes full of wine and food, in line with the idea that he could not lose his money and could earn back some points, Li Chu was in turmoil at the beginning.
The Taoist priest glanced at Li Chuyi, who was eating nonsense, and shook his head: "Something that has no interest." β
Li Chuyi pretended not to hear. He is not a Taoist priest, every time he spends money to order a large table of dishes, the result is mainly to drink, and the dishes on the table basically only move one bite, and say that this is what has status and taste. Li Chu felt that this was a waste of red fruits! It was a shameful waste! I was so disappointed that the Taoist priest had read to him the story of hoeing and the afternoon.
After chewing the case for a long time, he suddenly heard a light "huh" from the Taoist priest.
Li Chuyi stopped, touched the oil splash on his mouth, and looked in the direction that the Taoist priest was looking at, only to see a crowd surging under black pressure, and he didn't see anything unusual.
"Stupid, open your eyes. The Taoist priest's faint voice came.
As soon as Li Chu heard this, he immediately silently used Xuangong, and between his eyes opening and closing, a faint light flashed, and the world turned into black and white again.
Li Chuyi turned his eyes again, and this time he really made a discovery. I saw that in the crowd, some figures shrouded in various colors of smoke appeared here and there.
"See?" the Taoist priest asked, taking a sip of wine.
Li Chu nodded: "Who are they?"
The Taoist priest smiled when he heard this, and said, "They are the big geese." β
