Chapter 140: Encounter
Wu Sangui listened to Liu Xuanchu's next link, which was exactly what he wanted, which was exactly what he hesitated about, how many soldiers were together in the world, success or failure is unpredictable, the world can only be owned by the real Son of Heaven, he has little confidence in himself, although he has been preparing for more than ten years to wait until this day, but when it came to the army, he hesitated.
"Sir, this king is still not sure!"
Liu Xuanchu said:
"A few days ago, a scholar named Xuxuzi happened to come to Yunnan, why didn't the prince invite this scholar to take a look."
Wu Sangui said:
"The people in the rivers and lakes are all more lies and less truth."
Liu Xuanchu said:
"This void son is a disciple of the physiognomy master Liuzhuang, who has obtained the true inheritance of Liuzhuang, and is known as a god and Taoist."
Wu Sangui still said suspiciously:
"How so?"
Liu Xuanchu said:
"The Taoist rich Zhu million prince of Jiangyin, his hometown, should remember, right?"
This Zhu million is the richest man in the north of Jiangyin, more than 40 years old, no son, bought a little wife Li, gave birth to a boy a year later, when the family watched the celebration, the wandering Xuxuzi was catching up with this festive wine, he drank more than 30 glasses in a row and was not drunk, this Zhu million saw it in his eyes, he was very surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for advice, and asked if the Xuxuzi had any spells, can you give him a little advice?
The void man does not hide that he has no ability, but only has the ability to be rich and poor. This Zhu million asked the void son to give one or two.
Xuxuzi looked at it carefully for a long time before he said:
"The bones of your whole body are very tacky, your facial features are turbid, and the fluff on your feet is inches long, you really look like a rich man, but there is a clear breath in the forehead, which penetrates deep into the skin, faintly showing the lines of hunger, I am afraid that it is inevitable to suffer from hunger in the future.
Zhu Million didn't believe it at the time, he had a million family fortune, and even if he didn't make a profit, his children and grandchildren would not be able to spend it while sitting at home.
When the wet nurse came over with her son in her arms, Xuxuzi said in surprise when she saw it:
"This child's appearance, he will go to school at the age of 12, he will be able to take the Zhongxiang Examination at the age of 15, and he will enter the soil at the age of 16, and he will be able to do the Hanlin Palace at a very young age, but I am afraid that his life span will not be long."
The Void Son said again:
"Talent and wealth are mutually reinforcing. The reason why you have a million-dollar fortune is because five or six generations of your family can't recognize a word. Now that your son has only learned a lot, and when he becomes a Hanlin official, I am afraid that the hundred-foot-high mountain of money will also be in vain."
Zhu Wanchu didn't believe it, the consequences were really like this, when his son was 12 years old, he really went to school. This year, his shop was burned down and he lost tens of thousands of dollars.
Three years later, his son was promoted to filial piety, and all seven foreign ships he bought were shipwrecked and sunk in the sea. The family of the shipwrecked shipwright sued him to the government and had to sell a large amount of property and bribe him up and down.
so that they may be spared from sin. The next year, the son passed the palace examination and was awarded the rank of concubine, and by the time the golden news arrived home, the rich man and his concubine were already living in a rented dilapidated house.
He was full of hope that his son's position would be higher and that the court could be reorganized. But within half a year, his son died in his official position.
The family also starved to death.
Wu Sangui didn't know about the person Xuxuzi, but he knew that Zhu Million and knew that his son was beheaded by Chongzhen in a fit of rage, so he asked Liu Xuanchu to ask this Xuxuan Taoist to give him a face and give him some guidance.
In order to prevent this Taoist from talking about people's lives and talking nonsense, Wu Sangui had an extra heart, he found a sergeant who looked similar to himself to pretend to be himself, and he disguised himself as a guard, and mixed in with several of the guards.
After the Xuxuzi arrived, he saw Wu Sangui at a glance, and ignored the pretending sergeant who was sitting high on the tiger skin chair, knelt in front of Wu Sangui, and said:
"Why should the prince be so contemptuous?"
Several other guards pretended to laugh at him for recognizing the wrong person, but this Void Void Son's words were more sincere and sincere, so Wu Sangui invited this Void Void Son in.
Xuxuzi said to Wu Sangui:
"Wang Long is about to ascend to the great treasure, and the poor road is in the city of Yunnan, and I see that many of the prince's subordinates are generals, and this is all because of the light of the king's luck."
Wu Sangui was very happy to hear the words of this vain man, and strengthened his confidence in the rebellion.
Wu Sangui rewarded the void son, and said to Liu Xuanchu for a while to live out, the sky was clear, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and a piece of eaves was blown down by the wind, falling to the ground and shattering.
When Wu Sangui saw the unhappiness in his heart, he thought it was a bad omen, and the color on his face changed, and Liu Xuanchu immediately explained:
"That's a good sign. The dragon flies in the sky, from the wind and rain, which is a good omen, indicating that the king will rise up. The eaves tile fell to the ground, indicating that God wanted the prince to change the palace of yellow tiles. ”
Wu Sangui listened, so he decided to choose a day to fight.
Colorful beauty blood
Summer rain is easy to fall and easy to end.
The thunder in the west was still rumbling lowly, and a bright, curved rainbow had appeared.
After the rainstorm, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, and the meager clouds of smoke swept silently across the clear sky.
The grass swayed in the wind, quietly thirsty for the water after the rain; The drenched tree shakes its leaves weakly; The birds kept singing, and the chirping of the stream and the murmur of the new stream of rain sounded very pleasant.
The forests, the fields, and the far places that cannot be seen, the unexpected tranquility, which reminds one of a weary child, now finally falling asleep peacefully.
Kangxi stood in front of the palace, let the gentle wind blow, he looked up at the swallows murmuring under the eaves - this pet bird in the world, whether it is in the thatched hut in the countryside or in the splendid palace, no one will hurt him, how comfortable!
Standing for a while, feeling a little tired, Kangxi was about to return to the hall, but when he saw Huang Jingshi standing under the Danqi, he smiled and said;
"Huang Jing, what about Zhang Wanqiang?"
"Back to the master," Huang Jing smiled respectfully, "Lafayette went to the Dajue Temple to burn incense, and forgot where to put something - ask him to help find it!" ”
"Oh." Kangxi replied lightly, and suddenly smiled again, "Last time, you said that there are a few interesting places, how about taking me out for a walk?" ”
"This, the slave doesn't dare—Father-in-law Zhang had already taken a picture and said that it was Lafayette's decree—" Huang Jing hurriedly replied after hearing this.
Before Huang Jing finished speaking, Kangxi interrupted: "This is my idea, and you didn't instigate me to go, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Wanqiang is still in charge of me? Called-" He wanted to say that it was Xiao Weizi, but after thinking about it, he changed his words, "Tell Mu Zixu and the donkey to follow, and let's go out for a walk." ”
Kangxi and his entourage all four changed into micro-clothes, but they did not go to Xihua Gate, and quietly slipped out from the side door of Shenwu Gate.
The wide street is very lively, and the more and more wine shops and teahouses are built, each one is more beautiful than the other. On both sides of the street, there are silk and satin shops, flower and yarn shops, old shops, jade jewelry shops, stationery shops, needlework and embroidery shops, fresh fish and seafood shops, flower and fruit shops, artisan shops, camphor wood furniture shops, leathersmith shops, wine and rice workshops...... There are all kinds of treasures, and there is nothing you want.
Kangxi Za walked through the crowd and watched, and his heart was very ironing: all this was given by him, he was among them, and none of them knew that he was
"Today"!
After walking around the downtown in the west of the city, they came to the Qianmen area again. Here is another pattern, full of theaters, guild halls, and restaurants.
In front of the theater, there is a huge pink plaque, in addition to the posters such as a certain corner string and a certain play, some are also inscribed with bamboo branch words written by famous people of Doufang.
These words aroused Kangxi's interest:
On a certain day, a certain national performance class, red and yellow strips were posted to clear customs
Kangxi couldn't help laughing: "It's so vulgar and interesting, but the word 'so-and-so' is used very well." Then he looked at the next one, but it was:
Jinzhan post printed thousands of copies, Zhejiang Shao Township word Luqing Hall
When I looked up, I saw a plaque hanging horizontally on the lintel, which read
"Luqingtang" has three big gold characters, and I can't help laughing: "I don't believe it, his family's drama is only for Shaoxing people to watch!" So saying, he went in.
Huang Jing hurriedly smiled: "The master didn't see clearly, he doesn't act here, he is specially called the church." If you want to listen, it's best to go to Liuheju, eat, play and play, then you can have a good time! ”
"Let's go, let's see!" Kangxi waved his fan and said with great interest.
Liuheju is very large, it is a hotel, and it is next to the theater village, and the theater on one side is called Yanqingtang, which is not very eye-catching; On the other side, it is called Qingyuntang, the façade is big and there are many people.
Kangxi crowded into the crowd to watch the play card, which read: "Ziyun girl plays "Qin Pick". The bamboo branch said in a louder tone:
Every taste comes up and praises endlessly, and that knowledge is still Qingyuntang
After looking at it, squeezing out the crowd, Huang Jing and the three of them were already waiting in front of the door of Liuheju.
Kangxi didn't speak, and stepped into the door with a flick of his sleeves.
"What do you want from the guest officer?" There were a lot of people on the miscellaneous seats downstairs, and a guy was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and when he saw them coming in, he smiled and stepped forward and asked, "If you don't think it's noisy, there is a well-spaced seat upstairs, quiet and elegant, and ......it is convenient to drink and eat, order plays, listen to singing, and watch juggling."
Kangxi was a little dazed, he didn't know anything about this.
Huang Jing replied: "Our lord is a noble person, and what you say is not suitable." In the big house at the back, we ordered the main hall and put on a table of eight treasures of seafood. I bother you to go to Qingyun Hall again, and when the play over there is over, immediately call the Ziyun girl to come over and sing! ”
"It's good to say," the shopkeeper knew that he had met the God of Wealth as soon as he saw this posture, and said with a smile.
"Miss Ziyun's head wrapping silver thirty taels has to be sent over first, she is becoming popular, and there are many people who ask her to sing, even if she sends her head wrapped, I am afraid that she may not be able to come!"
Huang Jing couldn't help but smile, pulled the guy aside, handed him thirty taels of silver, and said in a low voice: "You used to whisper to Miss Ziyun that it was Lao Huang who called her, maybe the girl rewarded you with all this silver!" When the man heard this, he was very excited, and hurried away for joy.
Kangxi walked into the main hall and took a look, and saw that it was very elegantly arranged, with bonsai flowers, mirror stands, self-striking bells, bookshelves, and kang couches.
Little drops are three thousand years old,
Coming and going in the world.
Kangxi couldn't help but nod
"Good!" , The donkey was a rough man, just looking around curiously, but Mu Zixu was very energetic, and he didn't look like a serious place, so he smiled and said: "Lao Huang, why does this place look like a brothel?" ”
