I originally thought that people who practiced Taoism were paupers and would never be able to find a wife in their lifetime.
Don’t blame Li Chengyu for thinking this way.
Please refer to Wencai, Qiu Sheng.
It was not until Simu threw out a box of yellow croaker without blushing or breathing hard that Li Chengyu came to his senses.
How is it possible that a Taoist priest can’t get money
As the old saying goes, Buddha saves the rich.
As long as you have real skills and work hard, it is not easy to become a rich man.
Maybe with some connections, you can be a rich man in your next life, and the life after that.
Our family’s requirements are not high. We just want our descendants to continue to exist, for them to live in peace for a hundred years, for our children and grandchildren to live in harmony, and for our family to be large and prosperous!
The more Li Chengyu thought about it, the more excited he became. He touched Li Tianyang's head with his hand. He was originally a little hesitant about sending Tianyang to Liangshan.
Now it seems like a great job!
He was so happy that his mouth was almost crooked with laughter. If there weren't so many people here, and if he didn't want to maintain his dignified image, Li Chengyu might have hummed a verse on the spot.
In the end, none of them pushed the issue aside, and Li Chengyu tactfully withdrew. After all, Simu was Russell's elder, and it was only natural for Simu to pay for Russell's birthday.
The two adults and two children immediately set off towards the city, leaving the old butler Li on the boat to take charge of the overall situation.
In fact, there is no need to worry about those people carrying away the big ship. Butler Li is a smart man. The sailors he picked all have no bad records and have relatives.
People like this who have families always have some dreams in their minds when they go out to make money. On the contrary, those who are helpless and have nothing are the biggest hidden dangers.
When managing people, it is better to be careful and cautious, and it is best to be able to control them. This is the management philosophy of old housekeeper Li who has been managing the Li family's internal affairs for decades.
The four people slowly got off the boat, and the boat stopped at the port. There were many people transporting goods up and down the port. They lived off the land and the water, and there was no telling how many people had become rich because of the Yangtze River.
There are many people working at the docks, and brokers are future contractors. These people are often local tyrants who have well-informed information channels.
Although the money they offer is low, they are local tycoons who have made a lot of connections through experience and can naturally avoid a lot of trouble.
These are all the lessons Li Chengyu taught Li Tianyang from his experience, just like what Grandpa Li taught Li Chengyu back then.
These pieces of information were not known to everyone like in later generations. They were business secrets passed down by word of mouth among wealthy families.
Even in later generations, there are still people who have special experiences, special methods, and special connections, which become shortcuts to wealth.
The premise is often that it is passed down from father to son. If someone passes it to you who is not a close relative, they often want to take advantage of you.
Li Chengyu didn't avoid Russell. He now looked down on him. He thought his little experience and tips might not be appreciated by others!
As they walked, they arrived at the city gate. Although there was no one guarding it, the gate was crowded with people and was very lively.
“Huh!”
Li Chengyu was a little curious, "Why are these people crowding at this door?"
People who watch something exciting always follow the herd mentality. Although he didn't know what happened, Li Chengyu was still very curious.
The city gate was so far away from them that they could only see people's heads moving but could not see clearly what was happening.
Simu on the side chuckled and gently touched his glasses with his hand, which emitted a red light and scared everyone around him.
Fortunately, with the impact of Western literature, most people have heard of something called science and something called foreign matches, so they don’t really regard Four Eyes as a demon possessed!
It would be really interesting if Simu was really taken over and roasted.
However, the person walking towards him still looked him up and down, looked at him with a strange expression, turned his head and began to whisper.
“It feels like this is the person!”
"It looks like it."
"How about reporting it to the police?"
"Forget it. He doesn't look like a good person. Don't get yourself into trouble. Let's go, let's go."
The voices of the few people were very low, but Russell had sharp ears and could hear their whispers clearly.
He looked up and saw that Master Simu had a dark face. Russell tilted his head and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Simu took a deep breath, turned around and gave a middle finger to the pedestrians who had just passed by and had already gone far away.
He said viciously, "You bastards, don't let me run into you guys, or I'll beat the shit out of you!"
As he said this, he tugged hard at the Taoist robe on his body. Although what he wore was a little unconventional, it was still a Taoist robe after all!
Oh!
Simu was indignant, but he couldn't stand the curious looks of Li Chengyu and Russell, so he could only say depressedly, "There is a notice posted at the city gate."
"Notice? What did it say?"
When this was mentioned, Simu was extremely depressed. "Yesterday, in broad daylight, a wretched man wearing glasses and yellow clothes attempted to insult a 79-year-old woman. The crowd was outraged and beat the man to death on the spot. I hope the general public will be careful and alert to such cases in the future."
Russell burst into laughter before the conversation was over. He said, "You're a disgusting man wearing glasses and yellow clothes. You might as well just read out his ID number."
Hahaha!
The suspect Simu is you!
Russell was smiling heartlessly here, and Simu rolled his eyes in frustration. Is he that kind of hungry person
The seventy-nine-year-old woman, the hot and sexy vixen on the road, the enchanting female ghost, aren’t they attractive
Simu felt that he was a little wronged, but when he saw the strange looks from passers-by on the street, he felt uncomfortable.
Just then, a monkey trainer came over. The monkey had a hat on its head. His eyes lit up and he used his traditional trick of taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.
There was a snap, and the skill failed. The monkey trainer looked at Simu with disgust, his eyes revealing contempt.
You're stealing all the monkey's things? You're such a loser!
"Dayang, no need to look for it!"
The key is that Russell is reliable. He took out a Yuan Datou coin and flicked his finger, and it fell into the monkey's hand.
The monkey was also smart. He knew that this thing was more valuable than his hat, so he held the Yuan Datou tightly in his arms with both hands.
The monkey trainer also smiled happily and walked away happily.
Simu's old face turned red. It seemed that the ancestral method of fishing in troubled waters would not work. He had to learn from his master to steal things by taking advantage of the situation.
He took the hat awkwardly and put it on his head, which immediately covered most of his face. It really worked quite well.
At least there are fewer people watching him.
The crowd continued to move forward. Just as they were about to pass the city gate, someone looked at the floating notice and said something.
"He is also a wicked fellow, just like Liu Heizi from the Liu family. He is wicked and has brought trouble upon himself!"
"Oh, brother, what do you know?"
"Of course!"
The man spat on the ground and said, "You are not young anymore and you are having an affair with a young girl. She found you and made trouble in my house. Now you have lost all your face and you can't even get up from the bed."
He was gloating over the misfortune, "It would be better if such a wealthy dog owner died. He eats delicious food, drinks spicy drinks, and sleeps softly all day long. It would be great if they died out!"
Li Chengyu was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Seeing him like this, Simu and Russell looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that this Liu Heizi was Li Chengyu's business partner, the one who was going to host a welcome party for him today
Li Chengyu smiled awkwardly, "We may not be able to have this welcoming banquet today, how about we find a restaurant?"
If Liu Heizi had not gotten into this incident, he would have taken his people with him and, relying on their previous friendship, would have definitely arranged Russell's birthday clearly.
How does the saying go? The four closest people in life, they have been to prostitutes together, and so many years have passed, so they can be considered old friends!
But now that Liu Heizi is in trouble and seriously ill, it would be a bit unreasonable for me to take Russell with me today.
Russell nodded. People are in trouble, and they are forced to smile and celebrate. Isn't this just taking advantage of others
Before they could leave, they heard a commotion behind them, and one sentence was particularly loud.
"Fuck you, you son of a bitch, you cursed my dad behind his back, I'm going to fuck the hell out of you today!"
Then there was a burst of ghostly howling sounds. When I turned around, I found that the dense crowd had dispersed, and only a strong man was left, beating and kicking the person who had just spoken.
People around you are watching with gloating. It’s okay for you to insult others normally, no matter how much you insult.
But if you are unlucky and meet someone's son or himself, it would be so embarrassing!
There is no law against fighting now. Fighting with fists is a normal thing. If you have a hot temper, you will be killed directly.
Is it a crime? No, although filial piety is no longer the most important thing, it is still the most important thing. Insulting someone's parents is a serious crime!
Li Chengyu frowned, looked at the man carefully, and called out uncertainly, "Skinny monkey?"
The sturdy man who was beating people was also stunned. He was an eight-foot-tall man who learned martial arts from others and whose arms were strong enough to run horses. Yet, there were still people calling him skinny monkey
This nickname was from a long, long time ago!
He looked up and blinked at Li Chengyu, then suddenly realized something and slapped his thigh, "I remember now, you are the dog who always flicked my dick when I was a kid... Uncle Chengyu."
Li Chengyu: …
This skinny monkey, I used to be so nice to him, brought him so many delicious and fun things, but he didn’t even remember them.
I just have to remember this!
The skinny monkey knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly stood up from the ground and kicked the man on the ground again, "Get out of here now, if I, Liu Tiezhu, see you again, I will beat you up every time I see you."
He pronounced the three words "Liu Tiezhu" particularly loudly, as if deliberately reminding someone that he was no longer a short and skinny monkey.
"Ah, Skinny Monkey, how is your dad doing?"
Li Chengyu walked up to him and patted his shoulder with concern.
Skinny Monkey: …
Haha, you old man, you are still as bad as ever!
