Chapter 5. Daming also has second goods
For several days, Liu Wenyang was resting at home.
When he was bored, he took out the books under his pillow and read them.
The original "he" was originally a scholar, and of course there were many books in his family, but those were all things that learned to do eight-legged essays, such as the Four Books and Five Classics. Confucius and Mencius and Liu Wenyang were not interested in this. Only the old "Secret Scroll" made Liu Wenyang read it with relish. After three days, he almost turned the pages of the book.
Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning will appear!
Liu Wenyang thought this sentence was very reasonable because he found that he had some new understanding of fortune telling in the past few days.
Many people have said that a successful master of physiognomy must be a successful master of psychology.
This sentence is not surprising at all. When analyzing physiognomy from a scientific perspective, psychology and physiognomy complement each other. A good fortune teller will definitely understand the psychology of people and lead you through the nose. To put it nicely, it will help you solve your worries and get rid of confusions and give you some advice. To put it bluntly, it will use your psychological loopholes to make money.
Therefore, Liu Wenyang used to regard fortune-telling as a deceptive trick, but now, he doesn't think so anymore. Because he suddenly realized that observing phenomena is actually a very mysterious knowledge, a magical key that can help you open another door.
Just as the "Stories of Heavenly Secrets" says: Those who observe people's appearances, know people's hearts, and know people's hearts can know the world!
...
During this period, San Shu Liu Neng took food from time to time to help, but he was not as timid as before, and he was very stunning to deliver food directly.
When Liu Wenyang talked to him, she realized that since that day, Aunt San was afraid that what Liu Wenyang said was true, and she was afraid that he would sue the yamen to jail after writing the lawsuit. So when the man delivered food again, she turned a blind eye and secretly recorded the number, and waited for Yi Feiyang to take the rent of the field again as a speech.
"A Yang, your third aunt is a knife, a knife is so sweet, don't take it to your heart!" Liu Neng stuttered with his hands in his hands, "If you lack anything at home in the future, just say... Although your third uncle, I don't have much ability, I will not let you suffer!"
What else can Liu Wenyang say to such an honest person? "Don't worry, Uncle San, I won't blame Aunt San. Also, believe me, what you helped me today will be paid twice as much in the future!"
In this regard, Liu Neng just smiled foolishly. In his opinion, although his nephew lost his fame, he became more and more aware of the worldly ways. He was not as good as before, he was completely a nerd.
...
As Liu Wenyang's health became better and better, his father Liu Da was much more relieved, so he started to go out early in the morning, go out early and come back late, and make money outside. In his words, make more money and try to pay back the debt outside so as not to have no place to live.
Liu Da went out to make a living, and Liu Wenyang was alone at home. Although his health had not yet recovered, he could handle the small things such as making fire and making meals.
On that day, after all, Liu Wenyang went outside and took a look at the scene outside. After all, he had arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Although he could not "come here for a leisurely trip", he could not stay at home all day and not go out. However, he was in a good state and could only take a walk near his home.
When I left the house, I looked around and saw snowy, low houses, muddy roads, and pedestrians.
Now is the 28th year of Hongwu, and the Ming Dynasty rarely has peace and prosperity. Although Emperor Zhu Laoba is cruel to the ministers, he loves the people as much as his people. Therefore, the entire Ming Dynasty is full of prosperity.
Taohua Town where Liu Wenyang is located is located in the Poyang area. As an important commercial center, it has a wide range of connections and a prosperous business. There are many merchants from the south to the north.
Liu Wenyang's home happens to be in the center of the town, facing the street. On the left is a Yuelai Inn and on the right is a high-end silk shop. The terrain is centered and high up. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it is a good location for doing business. If you are interested, you just need to decorate it a little and it will be a good store. However, Liu Da didn't understand the way of business. He was eager to save his son before, but he mortgaged such a good property to Aunt Jin at the south end of the street.
Aunt Jin is as beautiful as a flower, but what is more famous than her beauty is her "turning stones into gold" method, especially her keen eye for shops, which can be said to have long been eyeing this Feng Shui treasure land.
In the lifetime when Liu Wenyang lived, people were almost crazy about speculation on real estate. For such a promising "store", Yi Feiyang could certainly see the value of it at a glance.
If you rent out your own home decoration, you will definitely get a generous amount of rent. When you save enough money, you will buy another store, rent and buy... After this, you will become a nouveau riche... Haha!
Liu Wenyang shook his shoulders and couldn't help laughing, and he made up his mind to redeem the mortgaged deed no matter what. He and his father would rely on this "shop" for the rest of his life.
With a general plan to make a fortune in his heart, Master Liu temporarily relaxed his mind and took out his leisure to appreciate the customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty.
First of all, let’s take a look at the men and women of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the men look dull and vulgar, and they are dressed very ragged. They are either thick cotton jackets or leggings and cotton pants. Occasionally, a few of them are worn, and compared with Yushu’s elegance, they lose several levels in temperament. After all, they come from their previous life. Although they don’t have the kind of body trembling and domineering spirit, they also have a unique masculine taste, which is definitely not comparable to these antique-level people.
As for those women, Liu Wenyang never expected that the women of the Ming Dynasty would be so enchanting. Yes, if the men of the Ming Dynasty were unsightly, then the women of the Ming Dynasty were very interesting. First of all, they mainly had red clothes, including a small red jacket and a big red jacket. Even if they were not as thick as a blue jacket, the clothes were not thick, with a tight neckline and a tight waist, which outlined a graceful figure. It can be said that they had breasts and butts, and there was no characteristic of backward social development and malnutrition.
Liu Wenyang's mentality and posture of appreciating beautiful women in his past life, and it tasted different in the eyes of those men.
This young man who looks like a scholar is too arrogant and frivolous, especially staring at the girls directly, which is simply insulting. Damn, I'm not yet in this state of directness, this little scholar is brave!
As for those women who were staring at, they were different, but most of them covered their mouths and chuckled and passed by. In addition, they were even bold and bold, and they directly responded to him with a few charming eyes... It can be said that they were charming and showed their postures.
Liu Wenyang was frightened. Unexpectedly, he was admired by the beauties, and even was omitted. These people were not as shy and reserved as ancient women, and were so open-minded.
In my impression, ancient women were all birds relying on human type, smiling without showing their teeth, and covering their faces when they saw strangers. Liu Wenyang even heard a story about a woman washing clothes by the river in ancient times. Because her exposed arms were seen by passers-by, she got home and took a kitchen knife and chopped off her arm, saying, "I have lost my virginity now, I can only break my arms to show my ambition!"
Therefore, in Liu Wenyang's impression, women in ancient times were all mentally ill, and were all little women who dared not look at men, but now... his cognition is completely broken!
In fact, the Ming Dynasty had just been established for more than 20 years, and the entire social atmosphere still preserved some customs of the Yuan Dynasty. Preaching such as men and women's defenses were not that powerful. The Neo-Confucianism of "destroying people and maintaining the laws of nature" was not so unhealthy, and the folk customs were simple and slightly open, but there were some legacy of the Tang Dynasty.
"This world is so good!" someone sighed, "I'm sorry for my ancestors if I don't mess with him like this!"
It was not until I had enough eyes that someone began to focus on his mind and look at the surrounding environment.
Looking around, there are almost all shops nearby, some are making irons, some are grinding tofu, and some are steaming buns. The steaming buns are out of the cage, attracting a greedy child.
Although it was snowy, it was very lively outside, especially in the twelfth lunar month, many people began to buy New Year’s goods regularly, and all kinds of hawking sounds were heard.
Is this the town of the Ming Dynasty? It looks like the markets in the countryside of the previous life, and are even more lively than those markets.
Liu Wenyang's eyes were scattered and he looked around curiously. Occasionally, a few people who knew him would greet him enthusiastically when they saw him, "Oh, isn't this Liu Ge'er? Why, is he cured of his illness?"
"Ha, Wen Yang, you can walk, this is a good thing! Don't be overwhelmed anymore!"
In a pork shop, pork is hung upside down with iron hooks and pig heads placed on the chopping board. The butcher Daniu, a butcher with Liu Wenyang, chopped the pork while shouting: "A Yang, don't be afraid if you can't become a scholar. At worst, you can learn to kill pigs with me!"
The wind cannon beside him, and the blacksmith Erhu swung the iron hammer and said, "What kind of pig is killing? It's so unreliable! It's better to learn to make a blacksmith from me, at least it's a long-term life!"
Big Niu Niu glared at the eyes: "What are you talking about? What's the point of thrusting iron? Every day, I can't fill my stomach. It's not like me, I always have meat to eat!"
"Yes, yes, like you, you have a pig's hair every day... If you eat so much, you must have a skill to be a man. With the skills, you can eat anywhere you go!" Erhu retorted as he opened his eyes.
The big Niu and Erhu are both young people who are about the same age as Liu Wenyang. When they were young, they studied in the same private school. However, the big Niu was stupid and Erhu was stunned. He took the book and would only doze off. When he saw the teacher, he was more like a sleepy person. He was confused all day long, basically he was just stumbled and was not a material for studying at all.
After reading for a few years, the two of them were so dull. They didn't even say anything about the simple "Hoing the Flood at noon" and "The Moonlight in front of the Bed". In the end, the old man was embarrassed to receive the gifts from the two families, thinking that he had no idea of teaching, so he had to persuade the two families to take their son back, and don't think about fame and fortune.
In contrast, although Liu Wenyang, who was the same age as them, was a little dull, he was diligent and studious. He memorized the Four Books and Five Classics well and wrote eight-legged essays in a bunch of flowers. During his school days, the two copied Liu Wenyang's homework, so they had a very good relationship.
...
Seeing that the two friends were arguing over their "future", Liu Wenyang couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"There are so many people who care about me. It seems that the Ming people are very simple." Liu Wenyang thought to himself, "But you should avoid learning to kill pigs. We are also scholars after all, holding a butcher knife in our hands is a shame for being gentle! As for the ironwork... the ironwork needs to be strong himself. His body, which is powerless, probably won't be able to harden even if he wants to!"
Just when Liu Wenyang lamented that the people of the Ming Dynasty were simple and the people were kind-hearted, a very disharmonious voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Tsk tsk, isn't that Liu Wenyang and Liu Dasai, who was called the dragon and phoenix by the old man? Why? I heard that you were removed from fame and fortune and lost your hope to jump into the river and commit suicide. Now, how can you live without any shame? You have to be too strong and you will only make people laugh at me, and your behavior will only make people look despised!"
Liu Wenyang followed the words, but saw a young man who looked like a young man, dressed quite decently. He held a paper fan in his hand, and a vulgar pink peony was painted on it. He was holding it in his hand and swaying with elegance, looking at him with contempt.
When Liu Wenyang saw this person for the first time, his first feeling was that there were actually two people in the Ming Dynasty?!
nonsense!
Fans are not a second-hand man in the winter!
