Chapter 85 My father died eighteen years ago
Meng Banxian lives in the center of Fucheng. He also built his own house, and it is very beautifully built. It has a two-story Western-style building and a rockery and flowing water garden in the yard. At first glance, it looks like he belongs to a wealthy family.
This guy is considered a legend in Fucheng. His nickname was Meng Laizi in the past. When you hear this name, you can tell that he is not a promising person. Meng Banxian is in his early fifties, but before he was forty-five, he was still called Meng Laizi.
.
Meng Laizi accomplished nothing in the first forty-five years. He lived in an old house left by his parents. He didn't even have money to repair the roof. He was idle all day long and made people dislike him. His parents married him a daughter-in-law before his death, but within a few years, this
The wife ran away with someone.
The parents were so angry with their useless son that they became ill in bed and passed away within a few years. Then, the guy surnamed Meng suddenly became talkative. He talked to everyone about the Bodhisattva's advice and had already discovered the secrets of heaven.
, Heaven knows half, Earth knows everything.
No one believed him at first, but this guy was indeed quite capable. He told the neighbors a few fortunes, which were quite effective. Gradually, his reputation grew. More and more customers came to his door, and even people from the next county town came to admire him.
Come.
Meng Laizi also became Meng Banxian. The old house was demolished and a two-story foreign-style building was built. Meng Banxian, who was bald and still unattractive, married a beautiful little wife who was as beautiful as a flower, twenty years younger than him, and gave him back
After giving birth to a fat son, Meng Laizi, who used to be disliked by everyone, became a winner in life that everyone envied.
There was also a plaque hanging on the door of Meng's house, which said "Meng's Mansion". It looked decent. Jiang Hanyan sneered, trying to be mysterious and pretentious.
"Go in and do as I say."
He Dan and Lin Xianghong were a little nervous. It would be absolutely fine for them to fight, but they were afraid of missing their sister-in-law's business by doing such a mental thing.
"Why are you nervous? Just talk less and keep calm." Jiang Hanyan said.
"Why."
The two of them nodded, took out their sunglasses from their pockets and put them on. Their demeanor immediately changed, becoming a bit like a gangster.
Lin Xianghong walked swaggering in front, followed by He Dan, who looked like a bodyguard. There were several guests in the yard, surrounding a bald old man with a red face, all of them looking respectful.
The old man was none other than Meng Banxian. He was reading the palms of the guests and talking eloquently. Lin Xianghong and the other two were making a lot of noise, and both Meng Banxian and the guests looked at them.
"Boss, sit here."
He Dan diligently took a stool, asked Lin Xianghong to sit down, and said: "Don't worry, boss, this Meng Banxian is very smart. He will definitely know about your father's situation, and he can communicate with your mother when he gets back."
"Really so powerful?" Lin Xianghong asked expressionlessly.
"It's amazing. From what I've heard, Meng Banxian is the most brilliant in the whole city. I've also heard people say that if Meng Banxian wasn't very smart, he would have to pay a thousand yuan in compensation!" He Dan said naively.
Other waiting guests spoke one after another, saying that Meng Banxian was indeed a spiritual man, and that the compensation price of 1,000 yuan had increased and was now 2,000 yuan.
It turns out that in order to attract business and show off his ability, Meng Banxian once said that he would pay a thousand yuan if his calculations were inaccurate, but until now, no one has asked Meng Banxian for the money.
First, Meng Banxian is indeed good at deceiving, what is true is false, what is false is true, what is false is true, what is false is true, there are many interpretations of one sentence, we cannot say that he is wrong.
The second is that many people don’t want to offend a Taoist man like Meng Banxian. If there is something going on behind the scenes, they don’t know how they will die.
He Dan smiled naively and said: "Boss, look at the loss of two thousand yuan. He must be smart. Ask Meng Banxian later how your father is doing."
"Um."
Lin Xianghong sat up straight and responded with an expressionless face, looking full of momentum.
Meng Banxian saw it and was secretly happy, this was the God of Wealth who came to his door.
Asking someone how they are doing like this is the best way to deceive someone. It must be that the father has gone out and the couple is having a conflict. Maybe they haven't seen each other for many years. After a while, he can definitely get a lot of money by just coaxing him.
.
Finally it was Lin Xianghong's turn. Meng Banxian pretended to look at his appearance and read his palm, then asked slowly: "Do you want to ask about your father's current situation?"
"Yes, my mother has been dreaming about my father these days and wants to know how he is doing." Lin Xianghong said.
"Have you not seen your father for some years?" Meng Banxian asked.
"It's been seventeen or eight years, and I can't even remember my father's face. They say you're a genius. How about my father now?" Lin Xianghong suppressed a smile and asked as Jiang Hanyan taught.
He Dan on the side yelled: "You calculate carefully, my boss is very rich. As long as the calculation is accurate, he will definitely give you a big red envelope."
Meng Banxian smiled slightly and said enigmatically: "Let me figure it out."
Then he pinched it quickly on his fingers a few times and muttered something in his mouth. He didn't know what he was saying. The other guests gathered around him curiously and wanted to know what Meng Banxian would say.
Finally, Meng Banxian stopped thinking, opened his eyes, shook his head, and sighed, "Your father's situation is not good!"
"What's wrong with my dad? Is he doing well?" Lin Xianghong looked anxious.
"Don't be impatient, wait for me to make a detailed calculation, but let me make it clear first. This calculation requires a lot of energy and blood, will shorten your life, and the hexagrams are different from others." Meng Banxian was confused.
"Divination is not a problem. As long as you can know my father's situation, it doesn't matter how much it is. You should calculate it quickly." Lin Xianghong's tone was very urgent, playing right into Meng Banxian's hands. It is best to swindle money from customers like this.
Meng Banxian pretended to do the math again. After a long time, he looked exhausted and said tiredly: "Finally, I figured it out. Your father is not far from you, mother and son. He just has a knot in his heart, so he refuses to go home.
If you look to the east, toward the city with water, you will definitely find your father."
Lin Xianghong's complexion suddenly changed and she clenched her fists. He Dan looked at Meng Banxian blankly with a strange expression.
"Go to the city with water to the east to find my father? Why did he get there?" Lin Xianghong's tone was a little strange. Meng Banxian didn't notice it and said with a smile: "Maybe there was some conflict with your father-in-law. I'll be more careful. Dong
Cities facing the sea have water in their names. Don't look for small county towns. Look for big cities. As long as you are sincere, you will definitely find your father."
But I was thinking in my heart, Shanghai and Hangzhou are both big coastal cities, and finding someone there is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. If you can’t find someone, this guy is not sincere. Anyway, he has pointed out the way, so you can’t say that he can count.
Not allowed.
"My father is in a coastal city? He is still alive, right?" Lin Xianghong asked again, in an even weirder tone.
Meng Banxian noticed something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it and affirmed: "You are living well, don't worry."
"Don't worry, my father has been dead for eighteen years. You Mabi, you've defrauded me of money and you didn't even go out to find out who I am!"
