"At the end of the day, it's very likely that you'll encounter all kinds of disasters when you go out, or your condition will relapse."
Liu Ruxiang took two steps forward and said, "Mr. Jiang, don't believe me. Let me ask you, have you ever felt a loss of appetite recently? Sometimes you feel uncomfortable sleeping, and you have also begun to suffer setbacks in your career, right?"
Jiang Lishan originally looked disapproving, but when he heard Liu Ruxiang's words, he was stunned: "Master Liu, how did you know that I have started to lose money on several investments recently? What is the reason?"
"I don't understand why investments are losing money. I'm not a professional in this field, but I know that someone is doing something to you, and he is here today!" Liu Ruxiang said this, and there was an uproar.
Everyone was sitting at the table eating, and suddenly a label that could harm someone was placed on their heads, and they were ordered to look over in surprise, or to look at each other at the strangers they didn't know around them.
"You woman, don't be too harsh. We are all here to sincerely congratulate you. How could you frame Mr. Jiang? Don't play riddles and make us suspicious of each other."
"What evidence can you bring out? You can't spit on all of us who have good intentions."
Many people thought that Liu Ruxiang was responsible for all these conflicts, and they pointed at her angrily and scolded her.
"Everyone, I, the Liu family of Yumen, have established a foothold in the entire Zhuangjia area based on the law of masters and public servants. It is clear and resounding throughout the entire west of the Lijiang River. I never tell lies. If you want me to provide evidence, then I will come and get it!"
"Mr. Jiang, let me ask you, for this birthday celebration today, who arranged the decoration outside this villa?"
Jiang Lishan looked stunned for a moment, then recalled: "I really don't know this, so I let the butler take care of everything. Dafu, come here and answer Master Liu's questions."
A thin middle-aged man named Dafu came over: "Master Liu, our family is organizing the external decoration of the birthday banquet this time. It is all done by the eldest son."
Liu Ruxiang nodded and looked at the eldest son beside Jiang Lishan with a sneer: "Brother, let me ask you, why are there so many statues of red-crowned cranes placed outside this villa, especially at the entrance of this underground house? Is it a real red-crowned crane?"
As soon as the cook finished speaking, Jiang Lishan's eldest son next to him burst into laughter: "You asked me this question, you're not doing it to be funny, are you?"
"Lookers, listen, what is this female liar talking about? She is asking me what the red-crowned crane means. Do you think it's funny?"
Some people praised it, and others immediately burst into laughter.
"A stupid woman with long hair and short knowledge, doesn't even know what a red-crowned crane means?"
Jiang Lishan frowned, not understanding what Liu Ruxiang meant by asking.
"Since you don't understand, let me tell you. We put red-crowned cranes outside because they mean longevity. Especially the two we put at the door are live wild red-crowned cranes. Red-crowned cranes are the mounts of immortals. According to legend, Among them, the mounts of gods such as Taibai Jinxing, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun and others are red-crowned cranes. I asked people to place red-crowned cranes in this home, what’s wrong? Isn’t this bad?”
The eldest son asked aggressively while explaining.
But if you look closely, you can see that he speaks in a very high pitch, very fast, and his tone is obviously angry. Moreover, his eyes were a little evasive and he kept looking around.
Liu Ruxiang told me before that if a person speaks in a calm and forceful manner, with a voice that sounds like it is coming from the Dantian, then what this person says will be more credible. But speaking faster and louder is a sign of lack of confidence.
I squinted my eyes slightly to understand this.
However, I still don’t understand what Liu Ruxiang meant when she asked the red-crowned crane just now.
Because I have studied "The Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" written by the great poet Li Bai in my elementary school textbook. I remember the teacher said that cranes are the mounts of immortals, and the red-crowned crane is the most noble type of crane. If you are rich, you can put it on There must be no problem at the door.
"Bah bang bang," Liu Ruxiang sneered on her face and clapped her hands, "What you said is very good. Then let me ask you again, who sent the flower baskets at the door?"
Hearing Liu Ruxiang ask this question, Jiang Lishan's son took a deep breath and sneered: "You ask me what I am doing. The flower baskets at the gate of the villa were all given by the guests who came here today. Don't they look good? They are lined up in a row, so impressive."
Liu Ruxiang continued to applaud: "Good, good, good."
At this time, the guests present could not help but feel a little angry when they saw Liu Ruxiang mentioning the flower basket at the door.
After all, there are so many flower baskets, and those who send them are basically sitting here.
"Humph, we came here out of kindness to wish Mr. Jiang a birthday. What's wrong with sending a flower basket? Could it be that we are also harming Mr. Jiang? Don't make trouble for yourself."
"That's right, you're a scoundrel who specializes in defrauding people of money. You'd better leave early. Especially among us here, who is not a social elite or a celebrity from all walks of life? You can't afford to offend."
Liu Ruxiang didn't care about the ridicule of these people, and there was a hint of sharpness in her eyes: "Okay, that's good. Since you all admit it, I won't press any more questions. Of course I know the meaning of the red-crowned crane. It represents longevity. I Liu is not a fool."
"But, eldest son, please explain, what does the crane's broken wings... mean?"
As soon as Liu Ruxiang said these words, Jiang Lishan's eldest son's face immediately showed a trace of panic, and then it disappeared in an instant.
"What are you talking about? That crane has broken wings. I spent a lot of money to get that red-crowned crane. Do you know how much the red-crowned crane costs? I guess you won't be able to earn it even if you cheat for half a year."
Liu Ruxiang shook her head: "You are still stubborn."
"The red-crowned crane has a beautiful meaning. This is true, but it also depends on the specific form. A birthday peach is used to celebrate birthdays, which is very good, right, but what if it is a birthday peach with a rotten heart? In the same way, a red-crowned crane to celebrate birthdays, Whether it is a sculpture or a real thing, it should be an auspicious shape of flying, dancing, splashing in the water and looking for food. But if you pay attention to the red-crowned crane sculptures we visited outside today, you will definitely find that the wings of these red-crowned cranes are all broken. .None of them are in a flying state."
"The broken wings of a crane not only do not have the original meaning of longevity, but instead symbolize decline and premature death!"
As soon as Liu Ruxiang said these words, everyone was stunned.
"Is it true? The red-crowned cranes downstairs all have folded wings?"
The guests were restless, and Jiang Lishan's face was ashen.
