Chapter 1 Descendants of the Xuanmen
Whenever the sun rises, the morning sun is wrapped in the morning glow above the Empire State Building not far away, and under the beautiful smoke and clouds, the most spectacular civilization of mankind is highlighted here.
On the bustling Fifth Avenue, with Broadway and the global flagship centers of major brands, this newsstand may seem unremarkable, with dozens of such mobile newsstands near Central Park alone.
In addition to English, the newsstand signboard sign also has a line of affiliated books in Chinese: Chinese Ancient Books. That alone is a slight sign that this newsstand is a little different from all the other newsstands on Fifth Avenue. In addition to selling major newspapers and magazines in the United States, the newsstand also reserved a portion of space for the sale of a variety of ancient Chinese books, such as the Twenty-Four History, the Zizhi Tongjian, Buddhist and Taoist scriptures, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Four Great Classics, and some novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are also some ancient Chinese books that are not for sale, including "Zhou Yi", "Kan Yushu", "Shenxiang Quanbian", "Taiqing Shenjian", "Plum Blossom Easy Counting", etc., the only purpose of these books is not to decorate the façade, nor is it a sweat cow, let alone a rare ancient book treasured by the owner. Quite simply, simply because the owner of the newsstand wants to read.
There is a kind of waste in the world that makes people puzzled, this waste is not shelling mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns, nor is it Tsinghua graduates going home to raise pigs, but a young and promising, good-looking man is actually the owner of this newsstand - sitting in the newsstand all day long, there are customers who do business, and those who have no business read books, quite contented. Of course, it was not the owner of the street who was well-limbed and simple-minded, who had completed the equivalent of a university undergraduate at the age of 15, and who should have a bright future, but who was happy to be a small newsstand vendor. It is said that Bill Gates also sold books and newspapers back then. But when Bill Gates was selling books and newspapers, he was selling and reading financial, business, and IT electronic books; And this talented young man is selling and reading Chinese metaphysics books. From this, there is a 99.99945% chance that the owner of the newsstand will not become the richest man in the world.
The owner of the newsstand was none other than me.
My newsstand is located in the most prosperous area of Fifth Avenue, near the three-way intersection, from the perspective of Kanyu and Feng Shui, this place is in the "Three Fortune Exchanges", which can absorb the wealth of all directions, indeed, as long as I take care of the business, I can sell books and newspapers here to earn as a white-collar worker working in a skyscraper office.
The day's business is about to open again, I sorted out today's morning newspaper, and just as I was about to sit down to read the newspaper, a woman's standard and sweet American English came over: "Hello, may I ask—"
I didn't raise my head, and blurted out: "Buy magazines and newspapers, please choose by yourself; To buy ancient Chinese books, please enter the newsstand; If you ask for directions, turn left and walk 50 meters, there is a police station. "I've been selling books and newspapers on Fifth Avenue for more than two years, and these are just three types of people who take the initiative to talk to me during the day.
"No, excuse me, are you Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang?"
I shuddered, and looked up, and in front of me was an extremely eye-catching American blonde. I immediately asked, "How much does your family earn in a year?" ”
"Oh?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Well, it's about 20 million US dollars, and we have our own company." ”
"Okay." I nodded, "Since you've found me, I'll charge you at least $2 million based on your annual income." Please tell me more about the specific situation. I said this with ease, and looked at the young woman quietly.
As I mentioned earlier, I sell newspapers here on Fifth Avenue, and most of the people who come up to talk to me are buying newspapers and magazines, or buying ancient Chinese books, or asking for directions. Others, like the blonde lady in front of me, can come up and say my last name – but whoever comes up to me is my real client.
The girl smiled: "I heard people in the circle say that your personality and personality are very eccentric, but I didn't expect it to be so grotesque - first of all, we have to ask about our income, you know, in our United States, it is very rude to casually inquire about other people's income-"
"Okay, at least 2 million, are you willing to pay? I don't have time to talk to you, ma'am. I sat back down.
The girl nodded and said, "Okay-" looked around, walked into my newsstand, and continued, "That's right, I have been married to Michael for 10 years, but I still haven't been able to have a child today, Michael wants a child very much, he wants to be a father very much, but, we just can't give birth to ......" The open American girl said this, her face couldn't help but be embarrassed, "We are always powerless, we have been examined in the best reproductive hospital in the United States, the best doctors, The most advanced equipment could not detect any abnormalities and problems in our bodies, which means that we are all very healthy, but for more than 10 years, I just couldn't conceive...... Since the hospital didn't find anything unusual, some people said that we were encountering a paranormal phenomenon, so we turned to the church for help - Michael and I were devout Catholics, many priests, exorcists and priests blessed and performed rituals for us, and we drank holy water, but it still didn't help...... Could it be that there is a demon that prevents us from conceiving? At this moment, a distant uncle of mine mentioned you to me, a master from China, and he said that you are extremely high-level, and you have a good reputation in the circle, and you can cure the disease, but he said that you are very grotesque...... So, I came to find you. As long as Mr. Fang can guarantee that I will get pregnant—no, no, as long as Mr. Fang can guarantee that I will conceive Michael's child, $2 million is a small amount of money to us. ”
Hearing this, looking at this young and eager American girl, I laughed and said, "Have you ever considered 'IVF' - in vitro fertilization?" ”
"No, we think that this kind of baby will grow up to be in bad health, and Michael is also very superstitious, he said that this kind of baby will have a big conflict with his parents in the future......"
I nodded, recognizing the girl's face and looking at her form. Moon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the Lord is well-connected, Yizi; The Yin Hall is open, the people are steady, the main yin and yang are coordinated, and it is suitable for children; High nose and lips, flat jaw and straight neck, the main life is healthy, and it is suitable for children. I looked sideways and smiled at her, "Come to my newsstand—"
The girl was quite strange when she saw me like this, and immediately walked into the inside of my newsstand and stared at me.
The girl was shocked, extremely embarrassed, and said, "You, don't you want to check my body for me?" ”
I almost fell and smiled wryly, "Can you make me a gynecologist?" Besides, in broad daylight, I'll check your body in this newsstand and maybe it will make the front page of the New York Times tomorrow! ”
This girl shows that she is very suitable for a child, but she has been married for more than 10 years, but she can't get pregnant at all. If it weren't for her husband's ill health, the root of the problem might have been due to the feng shui of her patriarch's ancestral yin virtue and ancestral tomb, or the feng shui of the house he lived in (yang house). At that moment, I asked, "Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with your husband?" ”
"Well, I'm sure, we went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said he was completely normal." The girl nodded.
"So, who is the head of your family? That is, do you marry your husband, or does your husband intervene in the door? I asked.
"Of course I married him." The girl laughed.
The head of the house was her husband, but her husband was not present, so I immediately said, "I want to go up to the house where you live now, and you can take me there immediately." If there is nothing wrong with your house, then the problem is only with your husband – his ancestors or himself have done things that damage yin and morality, or there is a difference in the feng shui of his ancestral grave. I didn't think she understood these Chinese metaphysical scriptures as an American, and I didn't explain them anymore, so I stopped doing the book and newspaper business, locked the newsstand, and I followed the stunned girl into her car.
The girl drove for about half an hour and finally stopped at Schopenhauer's estate in the eastern suburbs of New York. She got out of the car and led me to a luxurious and elegant three-story villa, but as soon as I saw this villa, I immediately thought: this may be the problem!
