Chapter 224: Turning the Face


Uncle Chen felt that he was only focused on making a living in the world, but he didn't know that there were experts hiding in his small mountain town.

Who is Uncle Chen?

This gentleman went to work as an apprentice in a shop in the state capital when he was eleven or twelve years old.

The first three years of his apprenticeship were basically doing odd jobs for the shopkeeper, and he was worse than a servant.

The servants at least had a monthly salary, but three years as an apprentice earned nothing.

No, it is very generous for the shopkeeper to give three feet of blue coarse cloth to each person during the Chinese New Year.

Generally speaking, an apprentice can’t actually learn anything in three years.

These three years are the time for the shopkeeper to evaluate your character.

After three years, he will officially teach you things.

At this time, you can be upgraded to the lowest level.

Little fella.

When you are promoted from an apprentice to a boy, the shop will start paying you wages on a monthly basis.

When you get better at your job, your wages will definitely increase, but to what extent it can increase depends on each person.

For example, there are some people who work hard in a shop, that is, they are just a clerk, and they get the wages of a clerk.

For those who are more clever, they have been promoted from clerk to shopkeeper, and they are already in the limelight.

No matter how clever you are, if you steal a lesson and do it yourself, you will be considered the best.

For example, Uncle Chen, although he has done a few immoral things, he secretly learned all the skills of the master during his three years of apprenticeship.

At the age of fifteen, he returned to his hometown and opened a small shop, and also After marrying his daughter-in-law, Aunt Chen, and now being the richest man in Bishui County, Aunt Chen can definitely be considered a capable person in a certain sense.

Uncle Chen's experience is no worse than that of He Zijin.

When he heard He Zijin say that the things were given to Taoist Chaoyun by the Prince of Shu, he couldn't understand everything, but Uncle Chen immediately determined one thing: What kind of identity do you need to let the Prince give you a gift?

Uncle Chen is the most proficient in giving gifts and so on.

Don't think that going with a gift is something that will ruin your fortune.

Being able to do so with good manners at least shows that a person has a better future.

For example, when Uncle Chen first started his career, he was not very wealthy and had little money.

Secondly, he also wanted to visit the temple on Mondays, but he had to know which way the temple door opened.

If Uncle Chen can gain a foothold in the state capital, he will have many connections here.

But based on Uncle Chen's status, he was able to curry favor with the Ning family only because of his daughter.

He would not be able to reach the position of governor or governor, let alone the status of Prince Shu's palace.

Not to mention the big and small masters of the Shu Palace, even the stewards of the Shu Palace are not easily accessible.

This is because Uncle Chen is rushing to give gifts to others.

It is so difficult.

Ouch, their Bishui County actually gave birth to a living god who was sent to the Prince of Shu's palace to give gifts.

That's right Just a living god immortal Still alive Thinking of this, Uncle Chen was dissatisfied again.

You said that his old lady also chanted sutras all day long.

Why did she, who had worshiped the gods and Buddhas for most of her life, not worship Nirvana at the right temple?

They are all named He.

The old woman prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha for more years than He Zijin.

As a result, she went to Nirvana and failed to have a good relationship with the living gods.

Look at He Zijin, wow, it’s strange that this girl has learned it.

A body full of divine and divine abilities.

Just because this girl has a divine connection, let alone ten taels of silver per hexagram, even a thousand taels per hexagram, he will come to pray for nirvana.

Thinking like this, Uncle Chen felt that the bracelet he wore today was a bit thin.

Fortunately, we are all real relatives, so it will not be too late to talk about the bracelet in the future.

Uncle Chen planned to find out He Zijin's background first, so he asked, "Zijin, as you know, my great-uncle is getting older.

Hey, this man has become older and has given up everything." , I was just like your great-aunt, I just thought about it.

It’s about burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

Oh, no, it’s about worshiping the gods, the Sanqing gods.”

Uncle Chen introduced his religious beliefs to He Zijin very sincerely, “My uncle, I also believed in it when I was a child.

One year our county There was a flood, and alas, all the houses were flooded.

The villagers in the county had no place to run, so they all fled to the mountains.

We were poor at that time, and there was limited food in the mountains, so I just wanted to fish in the water for food. , I was young at that time, and I didn’t get out of the water. .

I was so frightened that Brother Dan, who went fishing with me, went back crying.

Two days later, some villagers saw me floating up from the water.

At that time, they thought I was dead, but they fished me out.

Look, it’s fine, do you think it’s strange?”

He Zijin said sincerely, "Uncle, you are a strange person.

Strange people have strange encounters.

It is strange for others, but it is strange for you."

It's a good thing that Uncle Chen is not in the divination business, otherwise he would just make this casual nonsense.

His ability is really a powerful enemy.

Uncle Chen thought that He Zijin believed him, so he smiled happily, "Hey, I am not a strange person, I am blessed by the three pure gods."

Seeing his arrogant appearance, He Zijin couldn't help but tease him, "It's not necessarily the Sanqing gods.

There are also the Bodhisattvas from Furong Temple, or the Mountain Gods and Waters.

It could also be the Dragon King from the Crystal Palace."

"You don't know this.

The water was strong at that time and the Furong Temple was flooded.

How could the Bodhisattva show his magical powers?

Both the Mountain God and the Dragon King are all under the Three Gods."

Uncle Chen knew the immortal system quite well and added , "Speaking of which, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are from outside, and Sanqing is the nirvana of our local gods.

Local gods are also kind, aren't they?"

He Zijin really couldn't say no, but He Zijin said yes, and just as he was setting up steps for Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen laughed, playing into his heart, his treacherous old face lit up, and he said with a smile, "Look, our ancestors Didn't Sun want to go somewhere?

As I said, it's the Ninth Festival again, and I was planning to go to the mountain to burn incense and repay my wish to the gods who saved my life.

I have been supporting my family all these years. custom Things have neglected the gods.

This man is old and always thinks about old things.

I thought, although there are many Taoist temples on Furong Mountain, there are few who know the basics.

It is Zijin who learned this skill from Yun Guan.

Chaoyun Temple That's good.

But I rarely go to the mountains, and I'm not familiar with the Taoist priest.

I heard that you often go to the mountains.

Why don't you tell my uncle when you go, and I'll go with you.

How about burning incense?"

He Zijin said, "I don't have anything to do with it.

If you think it's appropriate, just go."

Uncle Chen is a very thoughtful person, and being too thoughtful is not a bad thing.

He goes out to do business and earns this family fortune.

Who would believe that he has no evil intentions.

But people with many eyes will be suspicious, especially when He Zijin said, "You have to think it's appropriate."

Uncle Chen quickly asked, "Is there something inappropriate?"

It wasn't that he was too cautious, but why?

The relationship here was easy for Zijin, after all, the two families were related, so he said it shamelessly, but He Zijin was still a little girl and flatly refused.

But although Uncle Chen didn't know the identity of Taoist Chaoyun, he was not an ordinary person who could ask the Prince of Shu to give him a heavy gift.

If you go there rashly and leave a bad impression on the Taoist priest, you will lose more than you gain.

Therefore, whenever Uncle Chen hears something wrong, he must ask for the reason.

He Zijin said sincerely, "I just feel that you won't be able to see my master if you go."

"Why is this" "He doesn't like to meet outsiders."

"Can you give me some recommendations for my great-uncle?

Think about it.

At my age, it's not easy for me to go to the mountains.

If I can't see the true God, it's really hard to burn incense."

He Zijin said, "You just pretend to be confused because you understand.

If you hadn't seen Prince Shu giving gifts to my master, you would have burned incense.

Don't tell me this.

It's annoying to death."

He Zijin rolled his eyes and said, "Zi Jin, you are my uncle's close friend." where, We two have mountains and rivers, ah, by the way, the high mountains and flowing water, Boya Ziqi and so on."

Uncle Chen finally thought of this allusion as he slapped his thigh, and he laughed and said, "My great-uncle, I cared about it when I was a child.

I am doing business and haven't read a few books, so I am not as knowledgeable as you kids.

But having said that, Zijin, what is our relationship?

My old man has seen some ups and downs in his life, and I am not that unreasonable.

It’s not that I’m asking the Taoist priest for anything, I just feel that there is such a master and immortal living in seclusion in our small place.

As the head of the local gentry, shouldn’t we take more care of him to avoid losing etiquette?”

At Uncle Chen's age, he spoke to her in such a pleading manner.

He Zijin had always been soft-hearted and said, "My great-uncle is a person who knows ten things after hearing them.

Think about it, in our Bishui County, how is your great-uncle better than the Hu family?"

Aunt Chen said, "I'm just a country squire, how dare I compare with Chief Hu Shan?"

He said bluntly that the Hu family is the most famous family in Bishui County.

It has been in Bishui County for 1800 years and has always been the family of officials.

The Chen family, it’s just that Uncle Chen’s generation has exploded, and it can’t compare to the Hu family.

He Zijin asked, "Have you ever seen people go up to Mount Hu to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

Uncle Chen took a small breath and suddenly became alert.

Mr.

Hu often went to the academy.

The academy was quite close to Chaoyun Temple, but according to He Zijin, Mr.

Hu had never been to Chaoyun Temple.

Mr.

Chen For the sake of reliability, let me ask, "Hu Shanchang has never been to Chaoyun Temple."

"Don't ever believe me, I lied to you."

He Zijin rolled his eyes again.

Uncle Chen chuckled, "Don't worry, don't worry, how can I not believe in our daughter Nirvana."

He Zijin numbed him for some reason.

Uncle Chen asked He Zijin again, "Then tell me, Mr.

Hu Shan doesn't know, or there is some other reason."

"How do I know?

But if you ask me, when you don't know which way to go, just follow the crowd."

"The Hu family is a big loser."

Uncle Chen scratched his chin, "Why don't I go to the state capital to find out something."

When I heard this, I meant it for He Zijin.

He Zijin smiled and said, "No, you should be more careful."

Aunt Chen was afraid that He Zijin would misunderstand him.

After all, he did not want to lose his way to Taoist Chaoyun.

Although he did not know the details of Taoist Chaoyun, he also knew that he was not a mortal.

Aunt Chen said, "I mean, the news from the state capital is good after all."

Ask some questions.

"Otherwise, what can these bunch of country bumpkins in the county find out?

"I'll tell you after my great-uncle finds out."

He Zijin sneered, "You are really pretending to be confused because you know what you know.

You can inquire as much as you like.

You don't have to tell me what bits and pieces you find out.

Don't come to me in the future to inquire about this or that.

The person who hid it in the state capital last time I haven’t settled my matter with you yet, so this time you’re testing me again and I’ll give you the bracelet back.”

He fell out and drove Uncle He away gd1806102:
