Chapter 17 Relief
Pan Yu suppressed her smile and returned to the "light smile" feeling, saying: "Han Wen, you must tell me the story of Zhu Yingtai tonight and see which girl made you miss her so much.
"
Xu Xian lowered his head to drink tea and responded vaguely.
Changing the topic and asking: "How do you know when the First Snow Festival is?" The First Snow Festival is not a fixed date like the Double Ninth Festival and Qingming Festival, but the day when the first snow falls every year, but things like the weather,
Even the weather forecasts in previous lives are not necessarily accurate. This is the so-called unpredictable will of God.
Li Siming looked at the two of them and said, "I think this matter will happen to you again!" But he sighed in his heart. Being handsome and beautiful is originally a good thing. It is easier to win people's favor and make friends easier, but when it comes to Pan Yu,
Even a man would be moved by seeing it, but instead it became a fetter. Moreover, Pan Yu always gave Li Siming a strange "illusion".
Li Siming still remembered that whenever everyone gathered together, Pan Yu would be the focus of all the stars, but even if he was chatting and laughing freely in the crowd, the ethereal and lonely feeling did not diminish slightly, but became stronger. Like a good actor on the stage,
He expresses all kinds of joy, anger, sorrow and joy vividly, but not a single movement, not a single expression, not even a single look belongs to him.
It's been a long time since Li Siming saw "flaws" exposed like today.
Xu Xian leaned lazily on his chair and said, "Can we tell fortunes? Can we still know when it will snow?"
Li Siming took a sip of tea and said, "Of course you don't know how to tell fortunes. You can go find someone who knows how to tell fortunes!"
"Huh?"
"It turns out that there really is a weather forecast in this world!" Xu Xian stood in front of a Taoist temple and sighed deeply. Carrying twenty taels of public funds from the academy, Xu Xian came here with an incredible mission - to find a fortune teller to calculate something.
It snows sometimes.
Isn’t it true that the Zi’s silent power confuses the gods? But in this world where snake monsters exist for thousands of years, even if the “zi” comes, there’s nothing you can do about it! After all, the Four Books and Five Classics cannot predict the weather.
There is a black plaque hanging on the door of the Taoist temple, with the three characters "Xuanji Guan" written on it, which makes it look very impressive. I heard that this is the most famous fortune teller in Hangzhou, and the fee is not low. A weather calculation costs twenty taels.
Silver is really an industry that Xu Xian really wants to join.
It's just that this ancient Taoist temple is not in the famous mountains and rivers, but in the bustling city of Xicheng in Hangzhou City, where all kinds of noises are heard. There are a few people lingering at the door of the small Taoist temple, including rich people in fine clothes and poor people in commoners.
Han, all looked at the door anxiously and expectantly, but did not speak to each other.
Pan Yu sighed: "Practice in a place like this is either elegant or vulgar, but I don't know what kind of owner it is."
The arrival of Xu Xian and the two men immediately attracted the looks of hatred from these people. Xu Xian was wondering to himself when Pan Yu explained at the side: "The three hexagrams a day are not counted too much. These people are probably afraid that we will agree with them."
Let’s fight!”
"Then what should we do?"
Pan Yu smiled without answering and walked forward. Xu Xian once again saw Pan Yu's magic, which was no less powerful than the magic. After all, magic can't change people's hearts.
Pan Yuxian said to a fat man who looked like a wealthy businessman: "Excuse me, are you here to seek divination?"
When the wealthy businessman saw Pan Yu's graceful demeanor and extraordinary conversation, he did not dare to underestimate him, "Exactly."
"Calculating fortune?"
The wealthy businessman thought to himself: It’s no big deal that you can’t guess what I’m wearing. “I’ll just tell you, I have a business that’s hard to decide, and it’s related to my fortune for the next year. You look like scholars. Did Kong Sage teach you something?”
First come, first served principle." He looked rather arrogant. The Xia Dynasty had developed industry and commerce, and it was not the complete emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce like the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, the status of the merchants was not low, and he had a lot of freedom in front of two poor scholars.
Pan Yu was not annoyed, but continued to ask: "I know a little bit about business, but I don't know what business it is."
The wealthy businessman wanted to show off, and it didn't involve any business secrets, so he just talked about it in detail. He was a porcelain merchant and planned to build a new kiln factory, but the investment was quite large. If he lost the money, he would really go bankrupt.
Pan Yu affirmed: "You will definitely make money."
The wealthy businessman stared with his little eyes and said, "Go, go, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Pan Yu just asked: "Do you know Jin Wancheng?"
"Who doesn't know the name of Jin Wancheng, a wealthy man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang? I have many business dealings with him." The wealthy businessman said proudly.
"Did you know that he recently bought two big boats?"
"Of course I know, I invited me to go on the first flight." The wealthy businessman's face was full of pride, but he was unsure. In fact, he just received a low-level invitation and didn't even say a word to Jin Wancheng, just joining in the fun.
That's all.
"Do you know why he bought the boat?"
"This" the wealthy businessman looked embarrassed but did not want to lose face. "Of course the merchant ship is for trade!"
"That's good, but he already has enough ships. He can't use such a big ship for water transportation."
"You mean, shipping?" The wealthy businessman showed a thoughtful look on his face.
"Exactly. Do you remember the group of Bana envoys who passed by Hangzhou a year ago?"
"Remember, they are all as black as briquettes. If you don't know, you might think they are Rakshasa demons from hell."
"Our envoy who paid a return visit came back last month!" Pan Yu ended with a smile.
"Are you talking about new routes and trade?" Under Pan Yu's suggestion, the wealthy businessman connected many clues and came to a conclusion that surprised him. This Jiangnan rich man was going to take a big risk, although the risk was extremely high.
, Haiyuntong's foreign profits can be hundreds and thousands of times. By then, not only the price of porcelain, but also silk and tea will rise. Of course he will not take this risk, nor is he qualified, but there is still no problem in drinking the soup.
"I'm not a fortune teller, I didn't say anything, and I can't guarantee anything."
The wealthy businessman gave Pan Yu a big salute and lost all his arrogance. He shouted to the bearer waiting on the side of the road: "Get up the sedan, get up the sedan." He said to Pan Yu: "Sir, you are really a great talent. I will definitely invite you to visit me in the future."
You, dearest ones at home, would like to thank you for your patronage of this my name card." After saying this, he ran into the sedan chair and walked away tremblingly.
No magical calculation can compare to the information in one's own hands. People will only rely on heaven when they are powerless. Most of the time, they are still willing to believe in judgments based on real evidence.
Xu Xian exclaimed: "Have you known this news for a long time?"
Pan Yu said with a smile: "I have been studying behind closed doors all day, so I have no time to care about this. The butler of the Jin family sent me an invitation and asked me to return it." The only thing that the butler can send in person is of course the VIPs around Jin Wancheng.
However, Pan Yu could not let Pan Yu waste half a day of study time to join in the fun. He wanted to take an official career, which is the broadest, most far-reaching and most dangerous road in the world.
"Why did he leave in such a hurry?"
"There are so many knowledgeable people in the world. The news will spread out soon. If you act a moment earlier, you will be worth countless real money. You can't help but be in a hurry." Pan Yu explained to Xu Xian one by one calmly and calmly.
Xu Xian muttered to himself: Is it you who has traveled through time or me? I cannot understand the thinking of people with high IQs at all!
In this way, Pan Yu solved the problems of the remaining people one by one, but there was nothing he could do about the last one. A skinny countryman whose whole family had been suffering from strange diseases recently, spent countless medical fees but to no avail, and the mother of the family was already dying. Pan Yu
Although he is smart, he is not a doctor after all, and there is nothing he can do about it.
The countryman begged for approval and said, "Please, sir, please show some kindness. Look, my hair is almost falling out. I've already done two fortune-tellings today. I don't know if I can make it to tomorrow. Even if I can wait,
, the children at home can’t do it either!”
Pan Yu thought for a while and finally sighed and said to Xu Xiian, "This means that manpower is sometimes poor!"
"It's just that if you are sick, you should seek medical treatment. If you can't cure it, it's because the doctor you seek is not good at medical knowledge. But coming here is just asking for fish."
Xu Xian, who was standing nearby, was moved when he heard this. He thought of a possibility and asked, "Is your disease caused by hair loss and loose teeth?"
"Hey, how did you know?"
Xu Xian became more confident in his judgment and said, "Have you picked up anything recently, like stones?"
The villager's face tightened and he looked defensive, but he said, "No, no, how can there be anything?"
Xu Xian frowned and said, "If you still want the lives of your whole family, just tell the truth."
After some questioning, the villager finally told the truth. A few days ago, he fished out something from the field, a stone cicada. It was crystal clear, resembling jade but not jade, and looked like it was worth a lot of money.
