Chapter 126: The Magical Old Man
The proprietress looked at Qian Long and Yang Wei with a smile and said softly. Security here is not very good, and there are often some nameless bandits at night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"Wouldn't it? I remember hearing someone say that Sioux City is very safe, and that many outlaws are at the behest of this big underground brother. β
"Little girl, what you said is right, but that was before, and now these people have no money in their hands, so they have to take risks."
"Hostess, can you sit down and talk? Why don't we have some wine together? Yang Wei said with sincerity on her face.
"Okay... I'll have a drink with you. After speaking, the proprietress walked into the counter, took out a set of dishes and chopsticks, and sat next to Yang Wei. Qian Long glanced at the tableware of the proprietress and the porcelain from the official kiln during the Kangxi period. With excellent glaze and a pair of ivory chopsticks, Qian Long asked, "The proprietress is really a particular person?" The cups, saucers and bowls of the Kangxi official kiln plus ivory chopsticks that are at least sixty years old? β
"The young man has good eyesight, huh?" The proprietress complimented.
"I am very familiar with the official kilns of the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, so it is not surprising that I can see it. As for your chopsticks! I see that there are already a few fine lines on it, which are caused by long-term weathering. It took at least 60 years for the ivory to weather, so I concluded that it was more than 60 years old. β
"Yes, this ivory chopsticks should be a hundred years old, I'll pour them for the two of you first." After speaking, the proprietress poured wine for Qian Long and Yang Wei, and then poured herself a glass.
"Can the proprietress talk about these lawbreakers who are desperate?" Yang Wei is very interested in these people.
"Alright! These people are all Zhang Xiaodan's subordinates, and their targets are tourists from other places. Although the tourists reported the crime after being ransacked, they did not stay here for long because of the time. Therefore, they will not delve into the truth of the matter, so that the police will turn a blind eye. Besides, they are also afraid of Zhang Xiao's name, and they have accepted the benefits of others. β
"How did they commit the crime?"
"We have a beautiful scenery here, and when night comes, there are people rowing the river, and they go down the river to the reeds ten miles away. Isn't it very pleasant to be in the sky of the bright moon and the lake is quiet, accompanied by the stars, insects, songs, birds and birds, and the boat among the reeds? β
"Yes! I also want to see the beautiful view. Yang Wei listened to the description of the proprietress and suddenly wanted to take a look.
"It's girls like you who are their target." The proprietress said lightly.
"Why?" Yang Wei asked curiously.
"Because you are a woman, you are thin and easy to deal with, mainly because you are rich." The proprietress looked at Yang Wei.
"This γγγγγ" Yang Wei didn't know how to answer.
"Little girl, you are full of jewels, I think people have been eyeing you for a long time, you are careful in everything!" The proprietress reminded again.
"Oh... I see, thanks for the reminder. After the three of them took a drink, Yang Wei got up and said, "The boss lady will settle the bill for us, right?" β
"Forget it, you and I are fated to see this meal, even if I invite it."
"How can that be? These dishes are expensive, huh? I calculated that it should be 26,000 yuan, and as for the drinks, I don't know how much it is because it is not on the menu, so I will give you 30,000 yuan, right? After speaking, Yang Wei took out 30,000 yuan in cash and put it on the table, because the other party would definitely refuse if she swiped the card.
"I didn't expect you to have the ability to remember, little girl? I remembered it at a glance at the menu.,When I remembered these prices, it took many days.,Hehehe.γγγγ The old lady saw that Yang Wei was not bad at all, and inferred that she must have never forgotten it.
"It's nothing, I've had such skills since I was sensible, it should be a natural no-brainer." Yang Wei said modestly.
"I know little girl, you're a good moneymaker, okay? I will charge you 10,000 yuan, and you can still come to my small shop in the future, if you insist on giving me 30,000 yuan, you will look down on me, and you will not come to my small shop in the future, okay? β
"Thank you then." Yang Wei hurriedly put away 20,000 yuan, she always felt that she would definitely come back in the future.
"You're welcome, remember what I said." The old helper reminded again.
"Got it, then we'll go first." After speaking, Yang Wei took Qian Long's arm and walked out.
"Walk slowly, two..." The proprietress looked at the backs of the two and muttered, "This little girl is really cute!" My child should be that old, but Mom hasn't seen you in years. There was a hint of sadness on the hostess's face.
Yang Wei took Qian Long's arm and walked on the bluestone-paved street next to the river, gently leaning her head on Qian Long's shoulder, feeling very sweet.
"What a good face for the two of you! Why don't you sit down and show you? An old man with a long beard and a combed back said. Qian Long glanced at the old man, sitting behind a very ordinary wooden table, on which there were a lot of books and stickers and other things, and there was a cloth banner with the appearance of cloth clothes written next to it.
"You don't seem to believe much in these things, boy, do you?" The old man looked at Qian Long and asked.
"Yes, I feel that my fate is in my own hands, and it cannot be changed by others." Qian Long said confidently.
"You're wrong, young man, people want to know their fate but can't believe it, it's my generation's mission to help people guide the maze, I'm not like those people in my generation who want to cheat you out of the money in your pocket."
"Hahaha, really?" Qian Long said with some disdain.
"If you don't believe me, you can sit down and take a look, if what I say is not right, I won't take a penny, if there is some reason, just give some reward."
"Let's take a look, Qian Long?" Yang Wei seemed a little curious.
"Okay, then we'll see." Qian Long sat helplessly in front of the old man, and Yang Wei also sat down together.
"The two of you are really good-looking, but I can only send you four words, and I was born at the wrong time!"
"Why?" Yang Wei asked curiously.
"I'm going to explain it to you slowly, starting with this young man. He gave birth to an emperor, and he is definitely the lord of the world, but now is the era of peace, and the monarch's feudal society has long since perished, so he has no chance to dominate the world, do you say that he was born at the wrong time? Besides, little girl, you are also a mother's face in the world, but unfortunately you can only be an ordinary woman now. Hahaha... The old man laughed.
When Yang Wei saw the old man's words, she became even more interested in the old man's life experience, "I said, uncle, can you still show us?" β
"Of course, young man, show your left hand to the old man." After speaking, he took Qian Long's outstretched left hand, was stunned for a moment, and then observed it carefully, and the old man slowly stroked his beard and said. "Is there a mistake in this book? How is that possible? β
"What's wrong, uncle?" Yang Wei asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel strange, how could this young man be born in modern times when he is obviously a Ninety-Five Emperor?"
"What? You say he's the emperor? Hehehe... Don't you talk nonsense? If you pass, you'll be beheaded. Yang Wei laughed happily.
"Haha, no, but I think there must be a mistake in the record in the book, the person who wrote this book must not have imagined that the society of feudal emperors would be destroyed today, so people like this young man who were born like emperors also live the life of ordinary people, but this young man's life is very long!"
"Really? It's just that someone once said that I would live to be eighty-seven. "Qian Long has read the records of history, and he did live to be eighty-seven years old, and he is still the longest-living emperor in history.
"Nonsenseγγγγγ Who says you only live to be eighty-seven? The old man was a little angry.
"This... He is also a master. Qian Long didn't know how to answer.
"It's just nonsense, young man, I dare to use my life to guarantee that you will live beyond a hundred years old, but when you are nearly ninety years old, you will disappear from the public eye, I can't explain this to you clearly, maybe it is a fateful arrangement."
"I'm going to disappear?" Qian Long asked puzzled, "Hey... How can I tell you? It's similar to the retreat of the ancients, so you understand? β
"Oh... I understand. Qian Long thought to himself, "I died when I was eighty-seven years old, and it turned out that I left the Qing Dynasty again, where would I go at that time?" β
"Uncle, how long can you see how long I can live?" Yang Wei stretched out her left hand and handed it to the old man.
"Little girl, you have to look at your right hand."
"Oh... Yang Wei hurriedly stretched out her right hand.
"Little girl, you are definitely a rich and noble person, and you should have a lot of power in your hands now. If you're not an official, you're an executive in a big group. β
"Yes, I work hard in the mall, but I'm not an executive anymore."
"No, your palmistry clearly shows that you should be in charge of half of the country."
"Oh... Even if it is. Yang Wei thought to herself, "I do take care of more than half of the business of Ouyang Group, which should be right." β
"As for your lifespan?" The old man stroked his beard and did not speak.
"What's wrong? Am I short on life? β
