It was noon, outside Hangzhou.
A slender man in white slowly stopped. I saw that he had a face like a crown jewel, eyes like bright stars, two sword eyebrows flying into his temples, majestic and heroic, a touch of worry looming in his clear and smart eyes; his arrogant handsome face was paired with a touch of worry The color makes the whole person's temperament look even more extraordinary!
Looking around, an extremely tall tower towers in front of us. Looking at the three words "Hangzhou City" on the city wall that have never changed after years of vicissitudes; he sighed: "Finally arrived, hey... I don't know if he is here after all, forget it, now that he is here, he will be at peace. , since we have come here, I will go in first to look for people and make inquiries. Furthermore... He pursed his dry lips, touched his growling belly, and took a look at this legend. The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou makes it a worthwhile trip!”
After making up his mind, the man in white raised his feet and walked quickly towards the city.
It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. However, there was no drop of sweat on his face and he still looked as usual. Although he was very tired along the way, his pace was still as steady and strong as usual! I don’t see the fatigue that ordinary people should have!
Not long after he entered the city, the man's eyes were immediately attracted by the scenery in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared before entering the city, he still couldn't help but be amazed: various carved carriages competed in the street, the sun was golden and green, and the fragrance of Luoqi was flowing. ; The new voices are cleverly laughed in the Liumo Flower Street, and the strings are tuned in the tea houses and wine shops; the treasures from all over the world are collected and returned to the market; the strange smells of Huihuan District are all in the kitchen.
With the tall Hangzhou City Tower as the center, there are row upon row of houses on both sides, and there are many shops on both sides of the street. There is an endless flow of pedestrians, people, and traffic on the street. The cruel sunshine at noon shines on these red bricks and green tiles and the sudden outcroppings. , brightly colored pavilions on the eaves, adding a bit of poetry to the prosperous scenery of Hangzhou in front of you.
The beautiful scenery in front of him made the man in white feel like a dream, which feasted his eyes and comforted him for the rest of his life. "Smoke willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, there are hundreds of thousands of homes, clouds and trees surround the dike and sand, raging waves roll up the frost and snow, the sky is endless. The city is lined with pearls, and the households are filled with Luoqi, competing for luxury." He collected it a little erratically. In his mind, he praised: "The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is indeed better than seeing it a hundred times! Hangzhou's reputation is well deserved!"
The landscape of Hangzhou is within easy reach. The hot wind was blowing on my face, and on the bustling Su Causeway, there were many pedestrians, the scenery was picturesque, and the sounds of hawkers and shouts kept coming and going, making the scene very lively. Walking on the street, he looked at and savored the bustling hustle and bustle of Hangzhou. He felt joyful for no reason, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face that was deeply worried.
Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and glanced sideways in one direction. After a while, his expression slowly became serious, and he no longer had the intention to appreciate the picturesque scenery of Hangzhou. The pace also speeded up a lot unconsciously.
When he was passing by the table of a fortune teller who set up a stall, he was thinking about something when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Young Master, please stay here for now."
He looked sideways, and it turned out that a fortune teller next to him stopped him. Then he stopped, turned to look at the fortune teller, and looked at him. He saw a tall fortune teller. A middle-aged man with a goatee, he is sitting on a chair at this time. The table is equipped with brushes, rice paper, a few books, bamboo sticks and other necessary things for fortune telling; a cage on the right side of the table is filled with There is a white dove, a flag is placed on the right rear of his wife, with four eye-catching characters "Ma Yi Shen Xiang" written on it, and a portrait of a human face is pasted on the wall directly behind the husband.
While the man was sizing him up, the fortune teller was also sizing him up. The fortune teller pretended to be profound and said: "Young Master, you have a frown on your face and a black face on your face. Everything must be going wrong recently!" After listening to the gentleman's words, A flash of joking flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "I want to find a friend, what can you do?"
Hearing this, the fortune teller smiled slightly and said, "Well, there's no problem with that! Let's take a test first!" After saying that, he took a piece of white rice paper on the table and handed it to him. He took the rice paper, took the brush on the table and brushed it a few times before writing a big word "official" on the paper, and then handed it to the fortune teller. After the fortune teller took the paper, he only glanced at it, laughed twice, and said, "Congratulations, your long-lost friend should have been promoted and made a fortune by now."
Hearing this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the white dove on the table and asked with a smile: "Sir, where do you start with these words?" The gentleman seemed to have known that he would ask this question a long time ago. As soon as he finished speaking, the gentleman took the piece of paper and explained to him: "Look, the character "官" is strong, powerful and powerful. Therefore, the person you are looking for must be a rich and noble person." The man in white seemed not to have listened, and then asked: "Shouldn't the character test be based on Zhuji?"
Upon hearing this, the gentleman was shocked and thought to himself, this man actually knows how to build a ji? ! Knowing that the person in front of him was definitely not as easy to fool as a human being, he rolled his eyes and thought quickly, thinking about how to deal with it. In fact, he was not a real master of physiognomy, and his fortune-telling and fortune-telling abilities were mediocre at best. He is only half-skilled. He learned this from some books. He only went to the streets to make money by cheating because of the need to make a living. This is because he can make money quickly. He has been in the world for many years, and he also knows some truths. Anyone who comes to see fortune tellers, He must have something to ask for and desire. To put it bluntly, he is here to seek comfort. All he has to do is use his lips and say more nice things, because he knows that there is no one in this world who doesn't like to hear nice things. You can achieve your goal so easily, so why not do it!
The amazing thing is that since he did this, not only has he not been exposed, but more and more people have come to him for fortune telling and fortune telling. The more people there are, the more money he makes every day, and His reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and people are not satisfied with it. Once this person tastes the benefits, it is difficult to stop. The temporary benefits are no longer enough for him, so he resolutely decided to continue working for a long time, until now.
Now he has developed a pair of sharp eyes and knows what kind of people are easy to deceive and what kind of people are not easy to deceive. When the young man in white passed by, he concluded that this person was an inexperienced and newbie. He was a young boy in the world, thinking that he would make money again, so he stopped him at the beginning.
However, things in the world are unpredictable. If you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. Today, he miscalculated.
All the actions of the gentleman fell into the eyes of the man, but he did not criticize him. Instead, he looked at the fortune teller quietly, waiting for his next words to see how he would justify himself.
Just when the young man thought he would at least think about it for a while and come up with an excuse before speaking, the fortune teller blurted out: "My appearance, Yang Buyi, is not very well-known in the world. I can tell you one thing, but I can't say anything else..." Before the fortune teller finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by an unexpected word.
