Chapter 1 "Dreams" Come True
Vaguely, he vaguely saw a few people coming over, raised their hands with difficulty, and shouted weakly: "Help me!" Help meοΌ β
However, there were bursts of laughter around them.
"What is he talking about?"
"You're already drunk like that, who knows what nonsense they're talking about."
"It's really a pity for that Miss Kou, who was born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, and ice and snow are smart, but she is married to this kind of wreck, alas... It's really unladylike! β
.....οΌ
Although his vision is blurred, his hearing is still there, and he is very puzzled in his heart, why do they all speak Chinese? Am I in the Chinese Quarter?
He only remembered that he had come out of a bar in New York with a little drunkenness, saw that it was getting late, and then got into his car with a fluke mentality, but when he passed through an intersection, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him......
After he regained some consciousness, his first reaction was that he had been in a car accident, and he felt that there was a flash of light in front of him, so he naturally thought that it should be an ambulance or a police car, and a few blurred figures in front of him should be a nurse, as for why there are so many people around, why they are all ......Chinese, he has no power to think about it at this time.
Suddenly, I heard a person in front of me shouting, "You are still stunned, carry it down!" Alas... What a shame. β
Immediately, he felt his body lifted, swaying and shaking, almost not shaking him out, shaking for a long time, he couldn't help but wonder, the position of this stretcher seems to be a little far away? But no sooner had the idea come to him than he felt like he was being thrown into a car.
It's really thrown in.
"Ahem, ahem!"
He was suddenly smashed, and immediately snorted, and spit it out, he now even suspects that he really had a car accident, but he can't scold, he is secretly angry in his heart, damn it, these nurses actually treat me like this, even if I am drunk driving, I have committed a crime, then it will be judged by the court, how can you treat a seriously injured person so roughly, I want to complain, I must complain to you.
In the midst of endless resentment, he fainted again.
I don't know how long it took, but he slowly opened his eyes, and he was greeted by a strange curtain, and he couldn't help asking, "Where is this?" β
A slightly hoarse voice sounded beside him, "What? I went to Chunmanlou this time, and I didn't even know my own home? β
He was startled, and when he looked at it, his face was full of shock.
I saw a slightly old, kind-eyed elder sitting next to the bed, with a cane in his hands, the key is that the old man is wearing a robe worn by the ancients, and his eyes subconsciously glanced around, and saw that the furnishings and decorations in the house can only be seen in those ancient TVs.
The sight in front of him made him confused, and he said, I'm either in the hospital or in prison, how... How did you send me to the set?
At the same time, the elder also looked at him, but his eyes revealed extremely complicated feelings.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little delicate, and both of them seemed to have something to say, their lips pursed, but they both wanted to say and stopped, and neither of them said anything.
After a while, the old man suddenly sighed and said, "I have never looked away from countless things in my life, but I didn't expect to look away in my daughter's life, this is really ironic!" Hehe! β
Speaking of the back, the elder laughed, only with a slight hint of bitterness.
Is this old man acting? He looked at the elder blankly, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when there was a sudden stabbing pain in his head, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain, only to feel countless unfamiliar pictures and some strange voices emerge, the only thing that can be sure is that these are not his, Xindao, what is going on?
The elder glanced at him, sighed again, and stood up, "You can rest well." β
With that, he walked out, not noticing that the young man on the bed was looking at his hands with shocked eyes at this time.
"Why... Why don't I have any injuries on my body? β
Not long after the old man went out, the young man suddenly spoke. He hurriedly lifted the quilt again, staggered out of bed, looked at his intact body, he really couldn't even find a bruise, and at the same time, strange pictures continued to emerge in his mind, and after half a loud, he couldn't believe that he said to himself: "I... What do I cross? β
He was originally a Chinese working Wall Street, initially engaged in trading analysts, and recently created his own investment company with several of his business partners, but it cannot be said that the future is bright, because Wall Street is a cliff, and it may be doomed at any time, but those strange pictures and voices tell him that he is in Beijing City in the thirteenth year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and this body is named Guo Tan, who is the son-in-law of a large family surnamed Kou, The elder was his father-in-law, Lord Kou Shouxin.
This Kou Shouxin was a tooth merchant, a middleman who negotiated deals for buyers and sellers in ancient Chinese commercial activities and took commissions.
After several confirmations, including seeing the unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, he finally confirmed that he had really crossed over, which had to be replaced by someone else, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to accept it for a while, but he was quickly relieved, he was not annoyed, unwilling, or complaining, even if he lost everything he had worked so hard to build, as well as his dreams, not only that, but he was more grateful at this time.
Because he felt that he had made a very stupid mistake and deserved to be punished very severely, either to die or be disabled, or to go to prison, so he was much luckier than the others, after all, God had given him another chance.
He stayed in the house for two whole days, and learned about Guo Dan according to those pictures, memories, and sounds.
It's good that he doesn't understand this, but after understanding it, he feels very embarrassed.
Because this Guo Dan is simply the perfect embodiment of waste.
Guo Dan was born in a talented family in Nanjing, it can be said that he was born as a scholar, but unfortunately he is not out of the blue, and he can't even pass the exam, he belongs to the kind of person who has no talent for reading, but he gives his brain to read badly. His mother died young, and his father died when he was sixteen, Guo Dan, who had no life skills, followed his father's last words and came to the capital to seek refuge in Kou Shouxin.
This Kou Shouxin is also from Nanjing, and Guo Dan is a fellow villager, and the relationship between the two ancestors is very good, so Kou Shouxin took Guo Dan in.
It just so happens that Kou Shouxin only has one daughter and no children under his knees, which is very embarrassing for businessmen, because under the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult for women to inherit the family business, because women can't show their heads outside every day, sit in a group of men to talk about business, even if she is willing, many men will not be willing.
And after a serious illness, Kou Shouxin is no longer able to take care of business, he must quickly find an heir, he saw that Guo Dan looks good, it seems to be a talent, although a little wooden, and will not do business, but after all, he is a scholar, he can still be cultivated, the key is the son of the old man, the right family, so he married his daughter to Guo Dan, hoping that Guo Dan can inherit his business.
Where do you know that this Guo Dan is a waste, he can't read, and he still looks down on those who do business, he has no ability, he is so ambitious, self-righteous, and often flattered by those traders, he doesn't know the world, and the result is that he makes jokes every day, and is played by those shrewd traders.
The night before yesterday, Kou Shouxin asked Guo Dan to complete the final signing work, and the previous details had been negotiated, just to take this opportunity to experience Guo Dan, because he had asked Guo Dan to directly participate in the negotiation of the sale, and he had never succeeded.
But even so, Guo Dan was fooled by his competitors to go to Chunmanlou to drink flower wine, not only revealed the information of the Kou family, but also got drunk, embarrassed not to mention, and screwed up this stable deal.
"Alas... It's really amazing to eat soft rice to this extent! β
Guo Dan smiled bitterly, but then remembered that he used to joke that the biggest dream in his life was to be able to eat soft rice with his appearance, and now his "dream" came true, which really made him feel that he had his own providence in the dark, and said to himself: "Since God is as I wish, then why don't I eat this soft rice to the end." β
He used to be very ambitious and hungry for money, but now he is very discouraged and has no fighting spirit.
Although he didn't have any complaints about the crossing, he felt that he had been practicing offstage for ten years at this time, and was about to show off his strength on stage, when suddenly the stage was gone, not canceled, but disappeared directly, and he felt very lonely.
Knock knock!
A knock on the door interrupted Guo Dan's thoughts.
"Come in!"
I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid walk in with a meal, put the food on the table, and said, "Uncle, the master said that after you have eaten, you will go to the back hall." β
Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I know." β
Since that night, Kou Shouxin has never appeared again, it is this maid named Xi'er who is responsible for delivering him food, as for his wife Kou Liansha, she didn't even show her face, and according to Guo Dan's memory, Guo Dan and Kou Zhuansha have been sleeping in separate rooms since the day they got married, and they don't eat together, and they rarely see each other, in fact, Kou Liansha doesn't want to marry Guo Dan at all, but is forced by the order of her parents.
But if you look at it from the perspective of eating soft rice, it is to eat and drink for nothing, and you don't have to work, which is really not too cool.
Guo Dan is also very satisfied with this, because he doesn't know how to deal with these relationships yet, and it is of course very good to be able to keep his distance.
After eating, Guo Dan went out of the door and went to the back hall, just came to the door of the back hall, and saw a tall and graceful woman walking on the opposite side, combing a peach blossom bun, wearing a plain long skirt, simple and dignified, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, collar like a grub, beautiful and moving, looking at its appearance is eighteen or nineteen years old, but the face does not have the gentle and virtuous of ancient women, upright posture, it seems to be very shrewd and capable, indifferent, and does not look so approachable.
This woman is Kou Shouxin's daughter, Guo Dan's wife, Kou Zhuansha.
Generally speaking, this wife is beautiful, of course she is happy as a husband, but Guo Dan is a little unhappy, after all, he eats soft rice, and the other party is beautiful and smart, so... So what do you want him to do? Unless he's gifted in some way, he doesn't know that for the time being.
"Husband."
Kou Zhuansha came to Guo Dan's side, bowed, and shouted generously.
Judging from Guo Dan's memory, although Kou Zhuansha was reluctant to have sex with him, she never showed any arrogance, and in front of Guo Dan, she was very knowledgeable.
This is the source of soft rice, Guo Dan didn't dare to offend, and stretched out his hand and said, "Madame, please." β
"Husband, please."
Kou Zhuan Sha said.
"Don't, don't, I'm still counting on you to eat, you should be invited first."
The soul who advocates moneyism still thinks that this rich is the uncle, since you are raising me now, then you must lick it.
"Huh?"
Kou Zhuansha looked at Guo Dan in surprise.
Damn, I'm Guo Dan now, I'm Guo Dan ...... now. Guo Dan hypnotized himself, and he was no longer humble, and took the lead in entering the hall.
The husband and wife entered the hall one after the other and bowed to Kou Shouxin, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Sit down."
Kou Zhuansha was like a virtuous wife, sitting next to Guo Dan.
Kou Shouxin glanced at Guo Dan and said lightly: "Have you woken up?" β
You really can't open which pot to mention. Guo Dan said: "Wake up." Oh, thank you father-in-law for your concern. β
Kou Shouxin only felt that this was a little weird, but he didn't think about it, and said, "Do you know about Jin Yulou's desire to buy Chen Lou?" β
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
Because the memory has just merged with the soul at the moment, he has to think about many things slowly, and he can't remember it at this time.
Kou Shouxin nodded, as if he felt that with Guo Dan's sense of smell, he didn't know that it was a matter of course, so he explained: "That Jin Yulou has always wanted to buy Chen Lou and dominate the entire Liang Garden, and Chen Lou's business has been getting worse day by day, and he also has plans to sell it, but because the two of them have been fighting, and the grievances are quite deep, Jin Yulou sent people to negotiate with Chen Lou several times, but Chen Lou refused, so Jin Yulou wanted to find our tooth shop to help him complete the deal, as far as the old man knows, Jin Yulou not only found us, but also found the Liu family, I made an appointment with the two of us to go to Jinyulou tomorrow to talk in detail. β
This Liang Garden can also be said to be an ancient park, and it is a very prosperous area in the capital, which is very rare. And the Liu family in his mouth is actually the largest private tooth merchant in the capital.
Guo Dan looked at Kou Shouxin suspiciously, and said uncertainly: "Father-in-law, do you want your son-in-law to go?" β
Kou Shouxin nodded.
Wow... You've got a big heart! With Guo Dan's IQ, do you dare to let him go? At this time, Guo Dan really admired Kou's courage to keep his word.
How do you know that Kou Shouxin said: "But after you go, try to talk as little as possible." β
Guo Dan was stunned again, talk less, how to talk about business, does it depend on appearance? Although Guo Dan's appearance is not bad, the other party is not a woman, and he is puzzled: "That... What is the son-in-law going to do? β
Kou Shouxin said: "Go study and see how the son of the Liu family talks to Jin Yulou." β
At the beginning, Kou Shouxin let Guo Dan preside, that is, he directly participated in the negotiation of the sale, but later he changed to be familiar with the process and went through the motions, and now it has become a learning experience, which lowers the standard step by step, which fully shows that Kou Shouxin has been disappointed in Guo Dan to the extreme.
But he has no choice, divorce is a very difficult thing now, in short, the son-in-law he recruited, no matter how stupid he is, he has to let his daughter lie next to him, although he has not yet been lying, but he is already thinking about whether to skip Guo Dan and focus on the third generation, as a businessman, the vision is still long-term.
β......οΌβ
Guo Dan felt a little incomprehensible, and said, "Then ..... this deal?" β
Kou Shouxin said: "The Liu family is bound to win this deal, and it is difficult for us to compete. β
Guo Dan understood, he couldn't fight anyway, so it was better to give him a chance to learn, it was really well-intentioned, nodded and said, "The son-in-law knows." β
Kou Shouxin waved his hand and said, "You go down first." β
"Yes. The son-in-law retired. β
Guo Dan stood up, and Kou Zhuansha, who had been silent, also stood up. Guo Dan found out that there was still a beautiful woman here, but he quickly reacted, as if all along, Kou Zhuan Sha was silent, no matter how foolish Guo Dan did and how much of a deal she messed up, she didn't complain, but in fact, she was helping Guo Dan deal with the aftermath.
Kou Shouxin said suddenly: "Liansha, you stay." β
Guo Dan glanced at Kou Liansha, and then walked out, anyway, it was not a good way.
Kou Shouxin glanced at Kou Zhuansha, and sighed: "My father knows that you have always been angry with my father, but there is no way to be a father, although you are shrewd and capable, you have even surpassed your father in terms of doing business, if you didn't help behind you, my Kou family would have closed down long ago, but unfortunately... It's a pity that you are a daughter after all, alas... You can't come forward to negotiate business, so no matter how uncompetitive Guo Dan is, we still have to rely on him. β
Kou Liansha said lightly: "My daughter knows." β
"I hope you can really understand the pains of being a father."
Kou Shouxin smiled bitterly, and said: "Recently, the Liu family has been aggressive, and recently robbed us of several transactions, looking at this situation, they seem to be intent on targeting us, you have to be more careful." β
Kou Liansha nodded slightly.
Kou Shouxin saw that Kou Zhuan Sha was still as silent as ever, and he was helpless in his heart, and said, "You can go down too." β
PS: Brothers, I, Hu Hansan, have finally returned, and I really miss you guys.
