Chapter 7, Section 9 Downfall
"It's getting more and more interesting!" Xiao Fei tapped his forehead a few times with a folding fan.
Xiao Fei's troubles did not come from Leng Qiuhe, let alone from the seriously injured Situ Shenjian, nor from Han Yubing, who was exhausted a few days ago, but from the two thin letters he was holding in his hand, and these two letters were from Hangzhou, Jiangnan.
I have to explain that Xiao Fei is now sitting very comfortably in the carriage. And the direction of the carriage is no longer the north where heavy troops are hoarded, but the horse is galloping south.
I can't help but say that things came suddenly, a few days ago, just when Xiao Fei wanted to go to meet Leng Qiuhe and fight a beautiful counterattack, a letter from home was suddenly passed through the Xiao family, and the letter was sent half a month ago, when he was still confronting the mother and daughter in the Snow Jade Divine Mansion.
The letter was written by Xiao Hai: My son is like flying and seeing words like faces, my mother suddenly got a stubborn illness a few days ago, and although my father scattered all his money, he still couldn't ask for a prescription. At this time, it is the magic skill of my son that my father relies on, and I will return quickly when I see the word!
Although this is a bit strange, at the age of my father and mother, the body is indeed at a time when it should be paid attention to. As soon as Xiao Fei saw the letter, he immediately decided to put aside the affairs in the north and rush back to Hangzhou City immediately. I believe that with the wisdom of Leng Qiuhe and a few people, they should be able to deal with all kinds of crises.
Originally, Xiao Fei didn't have too many doubts about this matter, his mother was old and weak, so she was naturally prone to illness. But when he arrived in Kaifeng, he received a second letter from his father Xiao Hai-------
----- Wu'er is like flying and seeing words like faces: Er's mother's illness has been cured by a master, don't worry.
Just a dozen words caused Xiao Fei great unease. For the same reason, the appearance of the master mentioned in my father's letter was too inopportune and too timely. In the previous month, my father spent all his money to seek a famous doctor but failed, and when he rushed to the house with all his might, the man suddenly appeared and treated his mother. At this time, my father would definitely no longer regard this person as a doctor who cured the sick and saved people, but regarded him as a great benefactor and regarded him as a nobleman. If this person had ulterior motives, he would have already reached half of the success at this time, because he had already won the favor of Xiao Hai, the head of the Xiao family. Xiao Fei knows his father, he still retains the boldness of the Jianghu people, and he will naturally treat his benefactor with confidence.
Therefore, Xiao Fei did not hesitate to rent a carriage at a high price and marched towards Jiangnan at a faster speed. However, Xiao Fei's funds are indeed limited, and after stimulating the enthusiasm of various car owners three or four times, there is already little left. Xiao Fei has never been worried about money, so he went to a larger town to find a random shop to show the signboard of the Xiao family, and immediately there would be silver offered, and it was possible to be sent directly to the door in a luxurious carriage.
But after a short period of thought, Xiao Fei gave up his plan to ask for help from the Xiao family's forces. Because Xiao Fei couldn't guess the true purpose of the so-called master at this time, as well as the level of trust he had already gained in Xiao's heart, Xiao Fei didn't want his opponent to be able to grasp his whereabouts at any time------ Xiao family's shop would definitely report the whereabouts of the eldest young master quickly.
When he arrived in Anqing, Xiao Fei's silver had bottomed out, and there were less than three dollars of broken silver left after the big coachman. As I said before, Xiao Fei never worries about silver. From the day Xiao Fei entered the door of the Xiao family, Xiao Hai instilled in him an idea: the smallest problem in the world is to solve the problem of silver, and the problem of solving silver is also the smallest problem in the world. So throughout Xiao Hai's life, it seems that he has not encountered a few major problems.
Regarding how to make money, Xiao Fei is naturally proficient. As for Xiao Fei's talent, it has already been mentioned above, so I won't repeat it at this time.
Xiao Fei casually walked into a small town near Anqing City, spent more than a dozen yuan to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone, of course, they are the cheapest, and he can't compare with what he usually uses, and rented half a table from a Xiangshi for eight yuan, and then took out three yuan to buy two buns and a bowl of soy milk, making up for breakfast that was an hour late. In the end, there was more than one penny left. Xiao Fei wiped his mouth with his sleeve after breakfast, grabbed a brush, and wrote two big characters on the paper: calligraphy and painting. Then press the front end with an inkstone, and hang the characters down the table to block the corner of the neighbor's signboard.
Xiao Fei wants to sell calligraphy and paintings? Yes! In Xiao Fei's impression, the life he lived before the age of 10 was the most leisurely. Every day, I practiced, read, practiced medicine, and played with my brothers and sisters...... After the age of ten, he came to the Xiao family in Hangzhou, and turned into a wealthy family, although he likes a quiet environment, and often reciting poems and painting to linger in the landscape, but after all, he is the nominal eldest son of the Xiao family, and his gradually revealed business talent is also seen by Xiao Hai, so he has to always drill camp in financial interests. A few months ago, he went out of the house, and he also lived a thrilling and happy life, however, in the depths of Xiao Fei's heart, he still maintained the high level of a scholar.
Before, I heard that Leng Qiuhe could also work with the prince Zhu Jianshen to sell paintings on the streets of Hangzhou to make a living when he was being chased and killed, Xiao Fei admired Leng Qiuhe's courage and scheming, and at the same time, there was also a trace of envy in his heart. This kind of indifference when being in a Jedi is ininimitable, not everyone will encounter a problem that cannot be solved for a while when he can accept it, and not everyone can face it so calmly. Xiao Fei knew that he probably couldn't do it, not to mention how his life had been unsatisfactory in the past few years, just to say that he didn't have this calm and calm among thousands of troops! And this was probably the mental nature formed by Leng Qiuhe in the northwest frontier and Leng Xuan, who was with the enemy army.
That's why Xiao Fei stopped here to paint. If nothing else, just to relive the long-lost indifference, by the way, to relieve my body and mind that have been running for a long time, and to calm down and play with the opponent who is in the Xiao family in Hangzhou at this time.
"According to what I can see below, although this son is tired, he can't hide the luster of Yintang, and he must also be a blessed person!" Just as Xiao Fei had just prepared this temporary shop, his newly befriended neighbor spoke.
Xiao Fei shared a case with the fortune teller at this time, and he rented it by himself. The two of them sat next to each other, naturally they couldn't do without words, and now that the other party spoke first, Xiao Fei also raised his head and smiled, "Xiaosheng is so sloppy right now, but I can't see any blessings!"
"Childe's words are wrong! Since he left the mountain at the age of twenty-seven, he has broken countless people with an iron mouth for more than 20 years, and he has not looked at it and not concealed it from his son, judging from his face, Your Excellency must not be a person who has lived under the people for a long time!" the fortune teller asserted.
"The layman doesn't need to say much about comfort," Xiao Fei said with a smile, "Xiao Sheng doesn't have much money on him......
"Could it be that Gongzi thinks that what he said just now is for these money?" The fortune teller interrupted Xiao Fei's words loudly, obviously because of what Xiao Fei said.
"Why should a layman be angry, he is just a layman in his later life, and he has never been involved in the matter of fate, and he will not believe it. ”
"Well," the fortune teller shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Since the son doesn't believe what he says, he won't waste his words in vain." But please wait and see, the future will definitely prove that what he said is true!"
"This is a painstaking effort for a layman!" Xiao Fei said apologetically.
"If it's a trivial matter, don't mind. The fortune teller smiled, "But the face of the son is rare in the next life, I don't know if I can let the next look at the palmistry of the child?"
"I can only see it from Xiaosheng, so forget it! If you don't believe in fate, you still don't work for Mr.!" Xiao Fei smiled.
"Isn't Childe just unwilling to satisfy his curiosity? Don't hide it from Childe, he has cut off Zaifu and instructed the general, and in recent years, when he has traveled all over the world, I don't know how many strange people and strange people he has seen, but he has never met the appearance of Childe. Please also ask the son to be fulfilled!"
"In this case, if Xiao Sheng refuses again, he will inevitably be suspected of rejecting people thousands of miles away!" Xiao Fei said with a smile.
"Thank you Gongzi for making it perfect!"
"However, before that, Xiao Sheng must make it clear!" Xiao Fei said solemnly.
"Please make it clear!"
"Since the layman has traveled to the rivers and lakes for 20 years, there are countless people, but do you know that there are also taboos in physiognomy?"
"This is naturally known below, and for the heavenly machine, it is also very cautious below, and will never leak half a point for the small profits. Hearing Xiao Fei mention this, Xiangshi replied cautiously.
"I don't hide it, it's not that Xiaosheng deliberately deceived me just now, I'm not a person who doesn't believe in fate, it's just that my fate is strange, and I hurt the person who lives with me!"
"Could it be ......" Xiangshi was shocked when he heard this.
Xiao Fei nodded, thinking that Xiangshi already understood the meaning.
"I don't want this rare fate for thousands of years to appear here!"
"Do you still want to see Xiaosheng's palmistry?" Xiao Fei asked.
Xiangshi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't have this kind of cultivation when I ask myself, it seems that I am in the next blessing, and I am close at hand, but I have no chance to see this strange appearance!"
Xiao Fei was also inexplicably emotional, "I didn't expect the layman to be so obsessed with physiognomy!"
"Don't hide from the son, he was also born in a rich family, but he only had this preference in his life, and at the age of eighteen, he visited the famous mountains all over the world, and he learned art for nine years before he got to the mountain. After more than 20 years of wandering the rivers and lakes, although it is hard, it is also a wish to be fulfilled, and it is very self-satisfied!"
"The ambition of the gentleman, admired in his later life!"
Suddenly, Xiangshi smiled calmly, "I figured it out in the next life, even if I suffer the curse of God, anyway, in the next life, I will leak the secret of heaven several times, for fear of affecting my family, I broke off contact with my family a few years ago." This time, even if you fight for your life, you have to see this strange appearance through the ages!"
"Sir, why are you so bothered!" Xiao Fei smiled bitterly.
