The people in Hualan Court knew that Shang Chenxi was joking, but they didn't care.

Shang Chenxi saw that they didn't care, and said with a sad look: "You guys, you come from a big sect, you don't know how hard it is for ordinary people to make a living to support their families and make money, and you don't know the price of firewood and rice. ”

"Especially in business, you have to pay for it. The so-called mud swallow mouth, sharpen the iron needle, scrape the gold Buddha face and search carefully, where to find it. Mosquitoes are slipped of fat in their abdomen, and egrets are cleaved with fine meat on their feet. It describes a person who picks the door and is stingy, but in fact, it is impossible to get rich without this. ”

Yi Liunian said disapprenousively: "Second master, it's okay for others to say this, you are the son of the richest man born with a golden key, but you are suspected of standing and talking without backache." ”

Shang Chenxi shook his head slightly: "That's not what I said. Small businesses have to be careful with their budgets, but the gains and losses are only the livelihood of each family. Big businessmen seem to be beautiful, and they often make money every day, but in fact, they are in the tuyere, the height is unbearable, and they need to walk on thin ice from time to time, and one will be beaten into the abyss and fall into the dust, involving the net worth of thousands of people, and even their lives. ”

"A few spirit stones really can't be cared about, but the mall is like a battlefield, and no small things and details can be neglected. The wealth of the family is not as good as the daily income, and the accumulation of bit by bit is terrible. ”

"My father was fond of calligraphy and painting all his life, but do you know what is the only pair of characters hanging in his study? ”

"Come, Lan Ting, explain what it means. ”

Hua Lanting said: "With great ambitions, he only seeks medium blessings and lives the life of ordinary people. ”

Lin Xian said: "We must be far-sighted in doing things, we should be low-key in life, and we must leave room for doing things." ”

Shang Chenxi bowed: "Looking at the top, middle and bottom, the horizontal view is high and flat. When you think of the top, you want to go down, when you stand high, you look for wide, when you are angry, you would rather suffer a loss than be angry, and when you should be stingy, you are willing to be angry and not let go. ”

Yi Liunian was still not convinced, and said: "Your car space is several times larger than my toilet, how can you live an ordinary life." ”

Shang Chenxi was amused by him: "That's the pomp and show of momentum and strength that you have to have, what do you children know? Besides, the second master hasn't cultivated to the point of my old man, can't you enjoy it? Are you dissatisfied or are you red-eyed? Life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it." ”

Hearing this, Yi Liunian reflexively remembered the slogan when Wang Jinlian practiced him and the tragic situation of him being bedridden a few days ago, and immediately wilted.

However, he was still unwilling, and he couldn't say anything about Shang Chenxi, so he turned the finger to Niu Kelian and asked, "Brother Niu, don't you feel sorry when you businessmen sell cheap things to others at a high price?"

Niu Kelian said with a smile: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what's the loss? Besides, brother, I also watch people put down dishes, and those boys, brothers and ladies won't care." Moreover, I have seen it, the handmade stitches of shawls and scarves are good, and the quality is first-class, and the girl did not dare to shout the price before, and sold less. ”

"I'm telling you, cheap things, only you are happy the moment you buy them, and you will soon be annoyed when you use them. What about good quality things, the moment you give money is distressing, and when you use it, you are happy every day, and your sweetheart is even more worthwhile if she is satisfied. ”

At this time, Wen Yin interjected: "Anyway, I don't think it's worth it, I feel like I've been cheated, so how do you say to beware of this situation?"

Shang Chenxi said: "It's easy to do, just refuse to leave as soon as possible, he said that you won't let go of the sky." Don't be embarrassed, those who have bad intentions and are embarrassed to cheat you are not good people anyway. ”

Yi Liunian sighed: "It's better to do business, I can do it hard, I can't do it, I am too tired to be tempted." ”

Shang Chenxi: "No. I told you that business is nothing more than human nature, and if you can't figure out human nature, your cultivation will not be much better. The reason why those enlightened people and business tycoons can succeed is that, except for a very few geniuses, most of them have different thinking than ordinary people in discerning human nature. As for the skills, the more you suffer, the more you will naturally have more experience. ”

Hua Lanting humbly asked: "Is there any way to improve the grasp of human nature?"

Shang Chenxi said: "There are many ways. For example, if you have the opportunity to have more contact with children, children's minds have not been contaminated by the world's environment, their thinking is simple and straight, and they can often hit the most primitive human nature, which is very inspiring and helpful for insight into the essence of things. ”

"I teased a kid the other day. I asked him how many sides a box has? He didn't quite know the concept of up, down, left, right, front and back, and the little guy told me very simply that there were two sides, inside and outside. It makes so much sense that I'm speechless. ”

Then he asked me what was smaller than an ant, and I said it was dust and sand, and the answer was that it was wrong, and the correct answer was that it was the son of an ant. How simple and direct to penetrate the essence, I was once again speechless. ”

Everyone recalled Shang Chenxi's words, and Yi Liunian said to Niu Kelian again: "I can't go back to my mother's womb, I will give up the road of innocence, and I agree with this matter of suffering more losses and gaining knowledge." However, Brother Niu, will a treacherous person like you also suffer?"

Niu Kelian laughed and said, "Why not? I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet." I'm not afraid of your jokes, little brother, my brother just ate a freshly baked loss before he came out, and this loss was made for me by my wife, and now I think about it, my heart is still hot - I want to vomit blood. ”

"Our family's money is in the hands of your sister-in-law, and recently I finally secretly saved 800 high-grade spirit stones and put them in a storage bag, but historical experience proves that it is not practical to put it anywhere. So I came up with a brilliant idea, I put the bag in the pile of old clothes in the closet, and she didn't find out, for fear that she would not be able to explain it if she turned it over, so I added a note in it just in case, which said: Save enough for a thousand and give it to my wife. ”

"And guess what, when I took it out before I went out, I found that it was two hundred dollars more, and it became a thousand more......

"Where do you let Lao Niu and me reason? It's really a good trick to give it first if you want to take it, it is worthy of your brother Niu and my daughter-in-law, otherwise why would I use the second master to help me calculate your little food money......?"

After the group finished eating, they came out and continued to walk along the street, and saw a tea shop decorated with a more chic, the name of the shop was Yongyue, and the business was good, and the moon was almost full of guests as soon as he climbed into the corner of the house. They went up to the second floor and sat down for tea in a private room overlooking the small courtyard and street below.

Ten people ordered the best Pu'er, Tieguanyin and jasmine tea according to their own preferences, and sat and waited for the tea.

This is said to be a private room, and the partition is a relatively dense bamboo curtain. Although there were people in the room on their left, there were two people talking in the first room on the right, and they did not deliberately suppress their voices with spiritual power, and the tea shop was relatively quiet, and the voice drifted in with the breeze.

One person said: "Fifth brother, I didn't expect you to come here to live in seclusion, but I called my brother to find me." ”

The other person coughed a few times and replied: "There is a distant relative here, the place is also quiet, while recuperating from the wounds, I also hide from the disturbances in the sect, I think it's good, why do you have to come to find me?"

"There's nothing urgent, let's talk about it, drink tea first, I can't even find time to taste tea for a long time. That, fifth brother, how are your injuries?"

"That's it. There is a good saying, the three best lives in life are money in the bag, books in the hand, and tea in the cup. The three best states of life are unexpected, self-evident, and healed without medicine. ”

"In recent days, a book and a pot of tea every day, we are not short of money, you are not an unexpected encounter, I can guess a few points without saying your intention, but it is not easy to heal without medicine, but six accounts for five, and I am also content with the fifth brother. ”

"Fifth brother, you guess badly, my brother is here for nothing else, just for this medicine......"

When the two of them said this, their voices were lowered and they could no longer be heard.

Hua Lanting and these people were chatting, and two people came in at the door, attracting everyone's attention.

One is a middle-aged man with a scarred face and deep wrinkles, and one is one-eyed but bright, followed by a lame young man with delicate eyebrows. The two of them were neatly dressed, and they only obviously had the attitude of servants in a hurry.

After the two came in, they found a large table in the courtyard and sat down, and ordered some fruit and tea.

Hua Lanting and the others had already seen it, but Niu Kelian stared at the middle-aged man for a long time, his eyes showed surprise, and finally lowered his head and whispered a few words to Shang Chenxi.

Shang Chenxi nodded: "Oh, old friend, okay, you go and reminisce about the past." ”

As soon as Niu Kelian stood up, Hu Jianbo, who was standing behind Shang Chenxi, suddenly opened his half-closed eyes and said, "Wait a minute, this person is easy to disguise, and there is a tail on the back." ”

Sure enough, seven or eight men crowded in outside the door, and the first one had a fierce face and a bright eye, and after coming in, he looked around, and then led the big man and the golden knife to sit around the table where the middle-aged man and the young man were sitting.

After staring for a moment, the leader of the big man smiled, and said to the middle-aged man: "Hu Ruyuan, don't run anymore, I'm tired of waiting for my brother to follow for a long time." You can hide it from others, but you can't fool me, so come back with us. ”

"Your business, your own creditor settles accounts with you, and it has nothing to do with me, I am just entrusted by others to chase you back, and I advise you not to make it difficult for our brothers. ”

The middle-aged man sighed after hearing this, and said to the beautiful young man: "The night walker can do nothing, but he can't make the dog bark." ”

Pang Yan asked, "What did you say?"

The beautiful young man said to him: "This uncle, my father means that although people who walk at night can abide by self-discipline and not be a traitor, there is still no way to make the dogs in the alley bark at him. ”

Pang Yan was furious: "You are still hard-mouthed when you die, you Hu Ruyuan still dare to say that you are not a traitor? Dare to scold me Pang Yan is a lackey, good." ”

"Originally, the owner of the money said that it would cost three times more to find you alive and bring it back than the price of the corpse. Your uncle, we are not greedy for this money, the Fox Gang has always done things in an authentic way, today your Pang Ye is in charge of killing and burying! ”

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes like electricity, staring at the man who was called the third child.

He was really not blind, but he changed his face, and at the same time he did not forget to say to the young man:

"Remember, son, it's okay that not every word of sorry will be exchanged, but every sentence of your uncle will be exchanged for your uncle. ”

As soon as the words fell, the man called the third man stiffened, his face was straight, his eyes were confused, the corners of his mouth were salivating, and he slashed back with a knife, but instead of slashing at Hu Ruyuan opposite, he slashed at his eldest brother Pang Yan beside him.
