Chapter 44: Asking Hexagrams
Zhao Wenliang spoke very slowly, but very carefully.
Many details of the underground world were told by him, and this information was exactly what Li Jiu needed, and Zhao Wenliang's words made Li Jiu gain a lot.
While speaking, the car had stopped in front of Zhao's house.
At this moment, a tall girl in a sportswear greeted her and opened the car door.
"Grandpa, is this the person you are talking about?"
After Li Jiu got out of the car, the girl's two eyes kept sweeping around Li Jiu's body, and there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.
"How many times have I told you, Xiao Jiu is older than you, you have to call him Brother Jiu, don't always be so big and not small, Xiao Jiu is a guest of our Zhao family, if it weren't for him, grandpa's old life would probably be gone."
As he spoke, Zhao Wenliang glared at the girl fiercely.
"Brother Jiu, thank you for saving my grandfather!"
Although the girl was a little reluctant, she did not disobey Zhao Wenliang's words, and said to Li Jiu honestly.
"It's okay, I just happened to be right, the old man is auspicious, even if I don't say it, he will be fine!"
The girl's psychological changes are all manifested on her face, not to mention Li Jiu, who is Mr. Yin and Yang, even ordinary people can see her joys, sorrows and sorrows at a glance.
Big families often start to fight openly and secretly since childhood, and as long as the people who grow up in such an environment are not fools, they are all scheming people with deep cities.
But the girl in front of her had no scheming at all, which made Li Jiu feel a little surprised in his heart.
"I guess too, physiognomy fortune-telling is a lie!"
As soon as Li Jiu's words fell, a smug smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face, and she said, "Grandpa, you see what I said is right." ”
"Nonsense!"
After hearing this, Zhao Wenliang's face finally sank.
When the girl heard this, she was suddenly clever, hurriedly took a step aside, and then stared straight at Zhao Wenliang with two eyes, and said, "Grandpa, he has admitted it, you still help him speak, I just don't want to be deceived!" ”
"How many times have I told you, the metaphysics of yin and yang has been passed down for more than 2,000 years, if it is really useless, then it will have long been annihilated in the long river of history, usually let you read more, you just don't stop!"
Zhao Wenliang's eyes widened, and when he spoke, his face changed even more.
"Grandpa, I was wrong!"
Zhao Wenliang was sick, and the girl knew about it, so when she saw Zhao Wenliang's face becoming ugly, she immediately panicked, and at this time, she didn't care if Li Jiu was right or wrong, and directly admitted her mistake.
"Then don't apologize to Xiao Jiu!"
Seeing that the girl was soft, Zhao Wenliang's mood was a little better.
"Brother Jiu, I'm sorry!"
The girl glanced at Li Jiu reluctantly, and then said in a low voice.
"Be louder!"
Li Jiu's ability, Zhao Wenliang knows, he came to Li Jiu this time, and the things he asked have a very huge impact on the next development of the Zhao family.
The girl's attitude made Zhao Wenliang very conflicted in his heart, on one side was his favorite granddaughter, and on the other side was Li Jiu.
In the end, reason took over the upper points, and Zhao Wenliang was ruthless in his heart and shouted loudly.
"I've already been humble......"
When the girl said this, her eyes were already red.
"It's okay, it's just a trifle!"
The scene in front of him was just a small episode for Li Jiu.
Zhao Wenliang and the girl's actions didn't matter in Li Jiu's eyes, he wasn't the kind of person who cared about the subtleties, so when he saw the girl's expression, he immediately stood up.
"Xiao Jiu, this is my little granddaughter Ling'er, she has been spoiled by us all these years, she speaks openly, don't take it to heart."
Zhao Wenliang already felt sorry for his little granddaughter, and as soon as Li Jiu opened his mouth, he followed Li Jiu's words.
"Uncle Zhao, Miss Ling'er is straightforward, she is innocent in nature, I think she is very good!"
When he said this, Li Jiu turned his head to look at Zhao Ling'er, and when he noticed a trace of gratitude in Zhao Ling'er's eyes, he said to Zhao Wenliang with a smile.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Wenliang smiled heartily, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Ling'er, and said, "Ling'er, you call your sister to the study, it's better for her to listen to this matter in person than for me to relay!" ”
"Alright, I'll go!"
Zhao Ling'er had returned to normal at this time, she nodded, and turned to leave, but when she entered the door, she turned her head and glanced at Li Jiu.
When she noticed Li Jiu's gaze, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and then quickly disappeared.
……
"Xiao Jiu, I came to you this time to ask you to help test one thing, this matter is related to the follow-up development of the Zhao family, if this matter falls, the pattern of Qingzhou will change nine times out of ten, the stakes are very high, it has been bothering me for a long time!"
In the study.
After everyone arrived to introduce each other, Zhao Wenliang spoke.
At this time, Zhao Wenliang's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, he was just an ordinary old man, but at this moment, there was a faint trace of fierce aura flickering on his body, his eyes were even more flashing, and his gestures revealed a kind of contempt.
This is what the owner of the first wealthy family should really look like.
Noticing Zhao Wenliang's changes, Li Jiu was also shocked in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.
At this time, there were four people in the study.
In addition to Li Jiu and Zhao Wenliang, there were two other women, one of whom was Zhao Ling'er, whom Li Jiu had already seen before.
The other woman is called Zhao Lingqi, and she is Zhao Linger's sister.
Although Zhao Lingqi and Zhao Linger are sisters, their temperament and dress are completely different.
Zhao Linger is dressed in sportswear, giving people a lively and approachable feeling.
But Zhao Lingqi is completely different, she is wearing a black tights, her body curve is perfectly set off, and she is paired with a standard melon seed face, no matter from that direction, she is a standard beauty.
It's just that the aura emanating from Zhao Lingqi's body, like ice and snow falling, gives people a feeling that no one is allowed to enter, and with her glasses with a black frame, her cold temperament is even stronger.
When Zhao Wenliang spoke, Li Jiu glanced at Zhao Lingqi and Zhao Ling'er a few times.
Of course, he is different from others, others look at each other because they are beautiful, but Li Jiu looks at them because he is looking at qi.
The study was originally not big, and with the addition of four people sitting around, Li Jiu's every move clearly fell into Zhao Lingqi's sight.
Sensing Li Jiu's gaze, Zhao Lingqi's face suddenly changed, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"Uncle Zhao, what kind of thing can make you so embarrassed Uncle Zhao?"
The hostility in Zhao Lingqi's eyes was unhindered, and Li Jiu naturally noticed it, but he didn't care at all.
When Zhao Wenliang stopped, Li Jiu took his gaze back and looked at Zhao Wenliang.
After coming to Xishanju today, Zhao Wenliang first talked about the underground world, and then called the two Zhao Lingqi sisters, this move made Li Jiu feel more and more that things were not simple, coupled with what Zhao Wenliang just said, Li Jiu was even more curious in his heart.
"Xiaoqi, you can take care of the rest!"
Zhao Wenliang did not continue, but turned his head to look at Zhao Lingqi.
"The underground world has existed for thousands of years, and after such a long period of development, the underground world also has a complete set of operation system, and gradually derived a huge organization, this organization is the 'inn', and the inn has nine shopkeepers, of which the big shopkeeper is equivalent to the ancient emperor, and the other shopkeepers are equivalent to various departments."
As soon as Zhao Lingqi came out, he spoke in an unsurprising tone.
"What about the hundred?"
In the bag left by the old man, although there is an introduction to the underground world, it is not complete, Zhao Lingqi's words made Li Jiu's heart also shock, and after a short thought, he came back to his senses.
"Although Baijia is not an inn, the two penetrate each other, and now, they are no longer distinguishable!"
Zhao Lingqi obviously knows a lot about the underground world, and as soon as Li Jiu opened her mouth, she gave the answer.
The hundred schools of thought asked by Li Jiu are naturally the hundred schools of thought of the sons of the pre-Qin period, and since Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, the hundred schools of thought have been hidden underground.
The reason why Li Jiu asked this was because he wanted to know the status of the Guigu Pulse in the underground world.
"Inns are all over the country, and even all over the world, although Qingzhou is small, there are also branches of inns, and this time it is difficult for my Zhao family to make a decision, it is in this branch."
Zhao Lingqi spoke very slowly, but the amount of information contained in each sentence was extremely huge.
When she said this, Zhao Lingqi glanced at Li Jiu, and when she noticed that Li Jiu's expression hadn't changed much, she was also a little surprised in her heart.
Even Zhao Lingqi herself, when she first came into contact with this information, she was shocked for a long time before she came back to her senses, and Li Jiu's performance was really surprising to her.
"Not long ago, the shopkeeper of the Qingzhou branch of the inn died suddenly, in order to stabilize the situation in the underground world of Qingzhou City, the inn issued a notice to choose a branch shopkeeper in Qingzhou City."
"The election will be held next week, and then someone from the inn will come and do the question in person, and no one knows what the topic is. Whether the Zhao family wants to participate, or how to win, this is the biggest problem that plagues our Zhao family. ”
Seeing that Li Jiu didn't move, Zhao Lingqi directly said the problem.
"Yes, this question has been bothering us for a long time, Xiao Jiu, this matter still needs your guidance!"
At this time, Zhao Wenliang also looked at Li Jiu, his eyes were full of expectation.
Even Zhao Ling'er, who had never believed in the metaphysics of yin and yang, widened his eyes at this time and looked at Li Jiu.
"Let's ask!"
This kind of thing, Li Jiu is still in contact with it for the first time.
Although Zhao Lingqi didn't say much, the amount of information in it was very huge, that is, with Li Jiu's heart, his heart was like turning over the river and the sea at this time.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Li Jiu fell into deep thought.
This process lasted for about a minute, and just as Zhao Wenliang was about to give up, Li Jiu spoke.
