Chapter 234: Three Questions
Thinking of this, Joseph frowned, and suddenly had an idea in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He didn't get out of the car, but just looked at Gould calmly and asked, "I said fatty, are you sure that if you want to visit this old boy, you have to pay a thousand gold coins first?"
The fat man nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, I did hear about it, and Boss Jose ...... Even if you pay this thousand gold coins, you are only qualified to visit Master Kant, and it depends on him whether he sees you or not!"
"Hehe, interesting!" Joseph smiled coldly: "What kind of Kant master, I want to see and understand today, come on, Gould, you go and report to me now." Well, that's what you say......"
After listening to Joseph's words, Gould's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "Boss Jose, are you sure you want to say that? It seems that these questions you are asking sound like some strange questions at all?"
Joseph smiled: "Fatty, you don't understand, these questions of mine are not ordinary people can answer. If that Kant master listened to my questions and was still indifferent and didn't want to see me, I'm afraid he was just a vain guy...... Go ahead, just follow what I just said, and report it word for word!"
Hearing Joseph say so confidently, Gould thought in his heart that he was afraid that his boss should be sure, so he simply got out of the carriage and walked straight to the door of the small courtyard.
The fat man knocked on the door for a while, and the wooden door of the small courtyard slowly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant walked out. Seeing this, Gould hurriedly asked, "I came to visit Master Kant on the order of my master, I wonder if this is his mansion?"
When he saw Gould and Joseph in the carriage, his brows furrowed slightly, but his tone was quite calm and asked: "Yes, this is the residence of Master Kant, although I don't know what is wrong with this gentleman, but Master Kant is not a guest, please leave." ”
The fat man seemed to have guessed that this servant would say this, he grinned, and just smiled and said: "I have long known that Master Kant is busy with affairs, but my master is indeed very sincere to come to visit, and I asked this gentleman to report on his behalf." ”
When the middle-aged man heard Gould say this, his expression changed slightly, but he only paused, and said in a somewhat stiff tone:
"Since the guest insists on seeing Master Kant, there must be a problem to ask for advice, but the master has a rule that no matter who or what reason, if you want to see Master Kant himself, you need to pay a fee of 1,000 gold coins first, I wonder if the guest knows this rule?"
Sure enough, it came!
Gould smiled slightly, nodded and said, "My master has naturally heard what Your Excellency said...... It's just that my master said that this thousand gold coins is just a small fraction, but his question is very much but has bothered him for a long time, if Master Kant can answer it for him, let alone a thousand gold coins, even if this amount is doubled tenfold, he is willing to pay 10,000 gold coins, and his question is also very simple......
The middle-aged male servant's face was also a little strange when he heard Gould finish talking about these questions. However, he has followed Master Kant for many years, and he has also been deeply taught by the master. Although the question asked by this fat man sounded a little strange at first glance, it also had a bit of profound meaning, and when he thought about it again, he was stunned for a while.
However, this servant is obviously not a stupid person, he looks at Gould's fierce face, and his body and dress reveal a bit of a warrior's bearing, thinking that he should be a powerful warrior.
Looking at Joseph on the side, although he is not very old, he is obviously the master in Gould's mouth, and looking at his demeanor, he is faintly with a bit of calm and unhurried bearing, I am afraid that he is not a simple aristocratic child.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged servant thought for a moment before nodding solemnly and said to Gould: "Since this is the case, then I will go and report to Master Kant first, and ask the two guests to wait here for a while." ”
The servant asked, and retreated directly into the courtyard, and the wooden door was immediately closed again.
"Boss José, what do you mean by those questions, I don't understand them at all...... By the way, did you say that Master Kant would meet us?" Gould couldn't help but glance at Joseph with some confusion as he saw the servant close the door again.
"Don't worry, fat man, if this Master Kant is really as knowledgeable and wise as the rumors say, then he will definitely receive our ...... after listening to my question."
The middle-aged servant closed the courtyard door and walked through the inner house to the backyard.
An old man with silver hair was lying on a bamboo chair at the moment, although the weather was very sunny, but after all, it was already winter, and the yard was very cool.
The old man was covered with a blanket of white snow fox fur, and there was a stove beside the reclining chair, on which was boiling a pot of boiling water, and white mist was constantly coming out of the mouth.
No need to ask, this old man is the famous scholar in the imperial capital-Master Kant!
When Master Kant saw this servant coming back from the front yard, his expression was very relaxed, he picked up the teapot casually, poured himself a small cup of tea, and said lightly: "Why, is it a noble child from a family in the imperial capital who came here, and sent it away?"
The male servant immediately straightened up, bent down respectfully and said, "It doesn't seem to look like a child of a family, his face is very raw, but it shouldn't be a simple fellow, they say......"
When the servant said this, he paused and said, "They have a few questions that they want to ask the gentleman, and they also said that if the gentleman can answer his question, let alone a thousand gold coins, even if the price is ten times doubled, he is willing to give ten thousand gold coins!"
"Oh, yes, what questions are they asking?mathematics, fine arts, divination, astronomy, or whatever?" said Master Kant, his expression rather flat, and he did not seem surprised by what the servant said.
"It's not ......" The middle-aged servant's expression changed a little strangely: "He only asked three questions. ”
As he said this, he glanced at Master Kant with his eyes, and the master still didn't seem to react, just squinted and lay on the chaise longue.
The middle-aged servant then continued: "He only asked three questions......
Well, the first question: 'Who am I'?
Second question: 'Where do I come from'?
The third question: 'Where am I going'?
These are the three questions......"
When the middle-aged servant said this, he was surprised to find that Master Kant, who was still squinting and closing his eyes just now, opened his eyes at this moment and looked at him with a shocked expression.
Master Kant's voice was a little strange, but there was a faint look in his expression: "The guy outside the door, really asked that...... Go, let him in......"
