Chapter 170: Counting is Counting

Su Qin frowned slightly, thought about it, and felt that Xu Gao had fallen into superstition too deeply, so he might as well follow his train of thought and warn him, maybe there would be some unexpected gains. Su Qin pretended to be knowledgeable, and said seriously: "I know some tips for giving birth to children, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”

When Xu Gao heard that Su Qin had a knack for making people have children, he was immediately ecstatic in his heart, got up, grabbed Su Qin's hand, and said eagerly: "How can I not want to hear it, what is the magic method of sir, please tell me quickly." ”

Su Qin said solemnly: "If you want to have an heir, you should fast for seven days, eat less ointment and delicacies every day, and walk more in the garden of Fuzhong. Then choose your favorite wife and concubine to accompany you. If you fast like this every six months, you will have a child in two years. ”

Xu Gao was skeptical and said: "People don't get close to women when they are fasting, but Mr. Su persuaded me to take my wife and concubine with me, so I just watched and didn't touch it." That's awkward. ”

Su Qin laughed in his heart, knowing that Xu Gao really thought that this was a mysterious trick, he was such a person, the more you exaggerated the bizarre things, the more convinced he became.

So, Su Qin said in an affirmative tone: "Other people's fasting is not close to women, but what I said about fasting to give birth to children is the opposite, but it is okay to have sex." No one else knows that the way to give birth to a child is fasting, so it is very difficult to have a child. ”

Xu Gao nodded, as if he had comprehended the mystery of fasting for childbirth, and Su Qin secretly laughed a few more times. In fact, where is there any fasting for having children, but Su Qin came up with a way to let Xu Gao have children as much as possible. Because there was no guarantee that he would definitely be able to have a child, Su Qin also deliberately extended the time, saying that it would be effective to keep fasting for two years.

Before Xu Gao got the spell cast by the "Heavenly Master", he had accidentally heard a trick to ask for a child, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth on the road.

The carriage arrived at Xu's mansion, drove all the way, and stopped directly at His Excellency Tingfeng. When Su Qin got out of the car, he saw that the weeping willows by Mingjian Lake kept falling yellow leaves, and the trail was sprinkled with fallen leaves, clear yellow and splendid, reflecting the clear and translucent water of Mingjian Lake, a refreshing and pleasing scenery.

Seeing that there was still some time before the dinner began, he proposed to Xu Gao that he wanted to walk by the lake alone, and Xu Gao happened to go to the palace to pick up the Heavenly Master Wenqing and Zhongshu Lu Tong, so he agreed to Su Qin's request.

Su Qin then walked by the lake, he believed in the reins, where he went, he took a rest, and when he saw that the scenery was very elegant, he went to see it closely. Such a relaxed mood, Su Qin hadn't enjoyed it for a long time, as if it had only been experienced when Yunmengshan studied with his master a few years ago.

On the south shore of Mingjian Lake, Su Qin found a particularly delicate small courtyard with blue-gray lacquer painted walls, elegant and generous. Su Qin was very interested, so he walked to the gate of the courtyard, and he found that the courtyard gate was not locked, so he pushed the door and went in, admiring the exquisite patterns of various flowers and plants carved on the pillars and eaves.

He watched for a while, and was in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone shouting at him: "Who are you, why are you trespassing here?" ”

Su Qin was suddenly startled, and when he looked back, he saw an old man of medium stature standing in the courtyard, glaring at him. Su Qin hurriedly apologized to him and said: "My name is Su Qin, I was invited by Xu Gao to be a guest in the house, I walked by the lake because I had nothing to do, and I saw the exquisite architecture here, so I came in to enjoy it." Ten thousand beggars forgive sins. ”

As soon as the old man heard Su Qin's name, his attitude immediately eased, and he showed a hint of a smile and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Su Qin, I am the Wu housekeeper of the Xu Mansion and Wu Jing's father." I've heard the story of you exposing that gang of liars last year, and today I have to see Mr., and the old man wants to thank him in person. ”

The old man said, clenching his fists and bowing. Su Qin hurriedly returned the salute and said humbly: "How dare you accept the great gift of the old man, I also heard Xu Gao talk about Steward Wu, you are a good hand at taking care of the big and small affairs of the Xu Mansion, and the Xu family has prospered so far thanks to you." ”

Steward Wu sighed and said, "The old man was entrusted by the first master to take care of the Xu family's property, but I will always have a day when I will pass away, and after that, I don't know when the little master will toss this family property clean." ”

Su Qin heard Steward Wu's sadness and helplessness, so he kindly persuaded him a few words. Steward Wu saw that Su Qin was a sensible person, and he was a rare person with a positive shape among Xu Gao's friends, so he invited Su Qinyan to the house, and the two talked.

Steward Wu told Su Qin a lot of past things about the Xu family, and from him, Su Qin learned that the Xu family had only made a fortune from Xu Gao's grandfather's generation, and he was also poor before, Xu Gao's grandfather was the top business master in Luoyang City, and he worked tirelessly and accumulated a large amount of family property.

In Xu Gao's father's generation, he continued to work hard, and finally became the richest man in Luoyang City.

It's a pity that Xu Gao's father was old and had a son, and he spoiled Xu Gao since he was a child, eating, drinking, and enjoying himself, and the Xu family's property was spent a lot.

Steward Wu said as he spoke, and there were tears in his eyes. Su Qin hurriedly persuaded again. Steward Wu said: "Xu Gao loves to mess around, but people are not bad, and his heart is good, I hope he can restrain his desire to have fun and spend some effort on running the industry, even if he consumes family property in the future, it will be enough for several lifetimes of people to eat and wear." ”

Su Qin was deeply moved by Steward Wu's loyalty, and thought: "If there is really a father, there must be a son, although Wu Jing is a little naΓ―ve, but in terms of loyalty, he is the same as his father." ”

Su Qin thought of the evening banquet again: if he didn't expose the so-called Wenqing Heavenly Master's deception, Xu Gao would throw out 10,000 gold at once, which was quite a considerable fortune, and he could almost easily buy twenty shops in Luoyang City with good locations.

Su Qin intended to help Xu Gao again, and he said to Steward Wu: "I don't know if you have free time tonight, I want to ask you to come forward to do something, also to let your little master avoid losing 10,000 gold." ”

Steward Wu was so shocked that his mouth opened wide when he heard the loss of ten thousand gold, and he hurriedly said, "Of course the old man is free, but I don't know what the matter is?" ”

Su Qin replied: "What's the matter, it's not convenient for me to tell you now, you just wait here after dinner, and when the time comes, I will come here to pick you up in person." ”

After Steward Wu learned from his son what Su Qin had done, he had a good impression of him, and he talked deeply today, which increased his trust, and he said: "Then the old man will follow Mr. Su's teachings, and wait here, without Mr. Su's instructions, the old man will never leave." ”
