Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"No, Liu Banxian, what does this mean to you? You didn't say whether I can go to high school or not!"

Xie Chunfang still had some brains and asked immediately.

Liu Banxian stroked his beard and said: "Young Master, that's not what you said. As the saying goes, heaven's secrets should not be leaked. You and I just met by chance, so how could I possibly leak the secrets of heaven to you?"

Don't tell me, Liu Banxian's posture really looks like that.

Xie Chunfang frowned and said, "Then what's your destiny in setting up a stall? In this huge capital, everyone can't be destined to you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Banxian immediately hooked his hand towards Xie Chunfang: "Master, come here for a little bit."

Xie Chunfang was curious and moved forward.

The book boy on the side is on guard. In addition to following and serving his young master, his duty is also to protect him.

"Isn't this what fate is all about?"

Liu Banxian rubbed his fingers with a smile on his face.

Xie Chunfang reacted immediately and sneered: "You are indeed a charlatan. Do you think I will believe you?"

Xie Chunfang is not short of money, but he doesn't have the habit of spending money lavishly.

Liu Banxian's action of rubbing his hands together to ask for money made Xie Chunfang's impression of him plummet.

Liu Banxian immediately said: "Sir, don't talk nonsense. I have told your fortune. The authenticity cannot be disputed. Why do you say that I lied to you? Is it possible that you are also a fortune teller?"

"Moreover, you and I met by chance in this capital. We have fate, but it is shallow. If there is silver as a bridge, wouldn't it strengthen our fate? Fate is nothing more than the connection between us."

"What is the most real connection in this world, it must be silver. Therefore, I accept money to strengthen the fate between you and me. Do you understand?"

Liu Banxian's deception can be said to be quite skillful.

The most important thing is that he speaks extremely fast, leaving little buffer between hearing and thinking.

The book boy had already touched his head and seemed to be convinced by Liu Banxian.

Xie Chunfang frowned, as if trying to find the loopholes in Liu Banxian's words.

But I recalled it several times, but I didn't find anything wrong.

"Can fate be bought with money?"

Xie Chunfang said with a puzzled look.

Liu Banxian smiled and said: "What is buying? It is to strengthen the bridge of fate. Once your silver is in my hands, then a relationship will be established between you and me, and fate will naturally come."

"I see that the young master has an extraordinary appearance and a dignified appearance. He must be a man who has read poetry and books. I can't help but understand this."

Liu Banxian cheated again, one after another, which made Xie Chunfang confused.

"Then how much silver do you want?"

Liu Banxian asked after hesitating for a moment.

Liu Banxian said calmly: "Today, I have a similar fate with the young master. Counting the time before the imperial examination, the secret will be leaked. However, because I care about the young master, I will accept two taels of silver."

This price is a hundred times what Liu Banxian paid when he told fortunes in Lishui County.

Although it’s time to raise prices when you come to the capital, but at this price, it’s definitely a rip-off.

But Liu Banxian is not just talking nonsense. A young master like Xie Chunfang is rich.

If it's too cheap, I won't believe it.

"It turns out it's only two taels, so pay!"

Xie Chunfang did not hesitate at all and directly asked the book boy to pay.

The book boy's heart is bleeding. His young master really doesn't know the fortune telling business.

broken!

Say less!

When Liu Banxian heard Xie Chunfang's words, his face was still full of smiles, but he already regretted it in his heart.

According to Xie Chunfang's expression, he can at least collect five taels.

"Now we can explain it clearly."

Seeing Liu Banxian accepting the money, Xie Chunfang immediately asked.

Liu Banxian nodded and said: "Master, don't be anxious, let me do the math."

After saying that, he immediately started to close his eyes and pinch his fingers.

Su Jing also discussed Liu Banxian's fortune-telling gestures. According to Liu Banxian himself, all gestures are actually fake.

He can tell fortunes, but not in this way.

The reason for doing this is to give customers a psychological hint that they are really thinking about it.

The longer it takes, the more customers can be convinced.

But it shouldn’t be too long, otherwise customers who are waiting impatiently will lose their patience.

This degree is all controlled by yourself, there is no fixed formula to follow.

After about a cup of tea, Liu Banxian opened his eyes and said, "Young master should not be from the capital."

"Yes, I am indeed not a local."

Xie Chunfang nodded.

Although Liu Banxian didn't directly tell the result, he was able to point out that he was not a native of the capital, which showed that he still had some abilities.

Liu Banxian continued: "The master's family background must be extraordinary. The elders in the master's family should have high hopes for this imperial examination."

"No, my father really wanted me to win, but after all, it is the first encore of the Ming Dynasty. There are so many scholars here, how can it be so easy?"

Xie Chunfang replied, a little unconfident in her words.

He doesn't like reading books very much, but his brain is not stupid.

The first encore of the Ming Dynasty, countless scholars gathered here, and there was no age limit. I only studied hard for ten years, how could it compare to twenty, thirty, or even forty years.

A few days ago, Xie Chunfang also inquired about other candidates. Among the candidates, he was almost the youngest.

This session of Enke should be the one with the largest number of people and the most difficult one.

Liu Banxian listened carefully to Xie Chunfang's answer, and felt his heart pounding.

"Sir, the matter of Enke is a dragon gate opened by the emperor for the majority of scholars. Naturally, there will be countless carp coming to this matter. You need to relax your mind."

Liu Banxian comforted him briefly.

Xie Chunfang smiled and said: "I can't relax. Everyone is happy if you pass the exam. It's a big deal if you don't pass the exam. Come back next time."

After all, Xie Chunfang is very tolerant of the 'mine' at home.

He didn't care whether he passed or not. Anyway, it was his father's request to come here to take part in the imperial examination.

Liu Banxian stroked his beard and said, "It's good that you can think like this, sir. You don't only have one chance in life."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and talk quickly."

Xie Chunfang became a little impatient and urged directly.

Liu Banxian smiled and said: "Sir, didn't I already say it?"

Xie Chunfang was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "You mean I can't win?"

"It shouldn't be possible this year."

Liu Banxian corrected Xie Chunfang's words.

Before Xie Chunfang could say anything, the bookboy beside him couldn't bear it anymore: "You old man, how dare you curse my young master like this and give me back two taels of silver!"

Liu Banxian said calmly: "Tell fortune tellers. I, Liu Banxian, have always been outspoken. If I only say good things, what is my fortune?"

In this wave, Liu Banxian directly established his own persona.

For customers who can be reasonable, fortune telling means there are good and bad fortunes, but for customers who are unreasonable, Liu Banxian will choose to tell.

The truth is the truth, but there will be less content.

"Get out!"

Xie Chunfang dismissed the book boy with one sentence.

Then he looked at Liu Banxian and said, "You said I can't pass high school this year, but what if I win?"

Liu Banxian said very calmly: "Then you come to this stall to find me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

How can a guy who has no confidence in himself be in high school?

Liu Banxian cursed in his heart. He told fortunes these days, and this was not the first time he met a scholar who wanted to participate in Enke. Most of those who really come to count are like Xie Chunfang.

Those who are capable are studying hard at home right now. Those who have been wandering on the street for most of the day have basically no chance.

"Okay, Liu Banxian, I will remember you. Let's see when the time comes."

Xie Chunfang pointed towards Liu Banxian, obviously not convinced.

He himself could say that he could not pass the exam, but when others said it, especially fortune tellers, he was a little unconvinced.

"I am waiting for you here."

Liu Banxian was calm and composed, not worried at all.

Xie Chunfang turned and left, and the book boy followed closely, not forgetting to look back and glare at Liu Banxian.

Liu Banxian smiled and was not angry at all.

Earning twenty taels of silver from one business is not a great feeling.

Originally, Liu Banxian thought of simply staying on the street until evening and going back at night.

But now with Xie Chunfang's business, he changed his mind.

Let’s go back to Uncle Renyuan’s house for dinner!

It was evening in a blink of an eye, and the kitchen in Uncle Renyuan's house started to move.

Su Jing was still in the study, so he had naturally prepared everything he needed to prepare. At this time, he was thinking about improving grenades.

After all, Zhu Di personally came to his door to ask for help. There were too many things before and he never paid attention to it.

Now that I have some free time, I have to think about it carefully.

In fact, the grenades made by Su Jing are now restricted purely because of the weak industrial foundation of Ming Dynasty.

Make bricks without straw.

What Su Jing has to do is to improve the shortcomings of grenades under the current industrial level of Ming Dynasty.

However, Su Jing spent several hours in the study and still had no good ideas.

After all, he had already thought about it when he made it.

In the eyes of others, this is innovation, but to Su Jing, this is just copying the gourd.

Su Jing knows very well what kind of performance a perfect finished product should have.

So when he first created it, he had already considered every aspect.

It's obviously difficult for him to change just one word!

"Master, it's time to eat."

Butler Li's voice pulled Su Jing away from her thoughts.

He opened the study door and went straight to the dining room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Banxian smiling.

"Liu Banxian, why are you back?"

Su Jing asked subconsciously.

Liu Banxian smiled and said: "Master Su is leaving tomorrow, how can I not come back today?"

Su Jing walked to the table, shook her head and said, "Liu Banxian, I'm afraid you refunded the last night's room fee."

After being told by Su Jing, Liu Banxian's expression was obviously unnatural.

But after spending a lot of time with Su Jing, he was still able to stabilize.

"Mr. Su, this matter is over. Starting tomorrow, don't worry, I will absolutely guarantee that your repair project will go smoothly."

Liu Banxian gave a direct guarantee.

Su Jing said calmly: "I have already explained that your opinion will be the main one when the time comes."

"Hey, that's right, don't worry."

When Liu Banxian saw Su Jing moving his chopsticks, he also started eating.

Su Jing said: "You are the master, and you have to bear the main responsibility if something happens. Power and responsibility are equal."

"Um, this..."

Liu Banxian suddenly felt that the matter arranged by Su Jing was not a good thing.

"I try my best."

Liu Banxian was a bit unimpressive.

Su Jing smiled and said, "Liu Banxian, have you ever been to Xiangyun Pavilion?"

"Of course I've been there before."

Regarding this kind of matter, Liu Banxian would not lose his momentum.

Su Jing said lightly: "How does it feel? This girl from Xiangyun Pavilion must be extraordinary."

Liu Banxian immediately said: "It's just average, nothing surprising."

"Oh."

Su Jing looked at Liu Banxian and said, "I heard that the number one girl in Xiangyun Pavilion, Zhi Luo, is Chen Yu Luo Yan, a moon-shy flower."

"Um...well...I've seen a lot of girls, and they are a little prettier, not as exaggerated as the rumors say."

Liu Banxian spoke vaguely and kept stuffing rice into his mouth.

"Hahahahaha!"

Su Jing laughed directly.

Liu Banxian quickly swallowed a mouthful of rice and said, "Master Su, what do you mean?"

Su Jing said: "Liu Banxian, I am the one who made up Miss Zhiluo of Xiangyun Pavilion. I have never been to Xiangyun Pavilion, and I have never asked about it. I just said it casually."

Liu Banxian, an old guy, has average acting skills after all.

Su Jing already noticed something was wrong as soon as she asked.

As soon as he said it casually, Liu Banxian's secret was revealed immediately.

"Master Su, you...you..."

Liu Banxian's face turned red quickly. It was a trivial lie, but it would be difficult to lie if his face was exposed on the spot.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Liu Banxian, I didn't know that you would be so popular in old age. You are already so full of energy!"

"Huh...huh..."

Liu Banxian took a few deep breaths to calm down.

He looked at Su Jing and said, "Mr. Su, stop talking, old man, I'm not going at all."

"Why don't you go? Are you kicked out again? What's the reason this time?"

Su Jing asked curiously.

Liu Banxian shook his head and said: "I took the clothes, but I always felt uneasy and never had the courage to go again."

"what?"

Su Jing was a little confused. She didn't expect that Liu Banxian would not dare to go.

"Liu Banxian, you are not like you. Could it be that you are not in good health recently and can't do it?"

Su Jing looked at Liu Banxian with strange eyes.

Liu Banxian immediately said: "Master Su, don't talk nonsense, I'm very good! I just don't know what I'm talking about!"

"No, Liu Banxian, you have these clothes and you don't need money anymore. Are you scared of the final step?"

Su Jing sounded indignant.

Liu Banxian lowered his head, obviously embarrassed that he did not dare to go.

Suddenly, Liu Banxian raised his head and said, "Mr. Su, why don't you go with me tonight! Just in time, I have to leave tomorrow, so relax tonight!"

Su Jing immediately shook her head and said: "Liu Banxian, I can't help you with this kind of thing. You have to go it alone. I, Su Jing, keep my integrity and keep safe. I will not go to these fireworks and willow alleys in the capital!"

What Su Jing said was a righteous statement, and he was right. If you don't go to the capital, it doesn't mean you haven't gone to Lishui County. (End of chapter)
