Fish swimming around the world

Early the next morning, Jiang Fan went out to play with monkeys as usual. Brother Monkey was very unhappy with the fact that his elder brother was juggling on his own, but he couldn't screw him over. Even if he could, he couldn't afford to offend little Xixi who was so excited about playing, so he could only grit his teeth and work hard.

In one morning, thanks to Xiao Xixi's cute bonus, I gained fifteen guans. Of course, the top guy on the list was still the top guy on the list, and one person contributed ten guan. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Xixi a bottle of gourd wine, squeezed her fleshy cheeks, and walked away with the usual steps of a wealthy landlord, without saying anything.

Jiang Fan stared at his back for a while, his eyes somewhat unclear.

Seeing that the weather was not very good, Mr. Jiang simply closed the stall in advance.

This also happens to be an opportunity to go for a stroll in Dongdaji.

With little Xixi hanging around his neck and holding the monkey in his hand, he and the little fox pretended to be shopping, walking and stopping all the way until they wandered to Dongdaji at noon.

The so-called Dongda Market is just a bustling commercial street with small merchants and hawkers on both sides. But all the way away, Jiang Fan saw a stall set up in a remote corner, with one person, a table, a chair, and a banner. .

Jiang Fan did not go over immediately, but sat down at a nearby tea stall and ordered two large bowls of tea soup.

While drinking tea, I chatted with the tea stall owner who had no business.

Then he seemed to see the fortune-telling stall intentionally or unintentionally, and curiously asked the stall owner: "Is that a fortune-teller over there?"

The stall owner took a look and curled his lips: "Lu Tiezui, who calls himself the God of Operation Yuan, doesn't look like he has a fairy-like demeanor and is like an outsider, but he is actually a swindler."

"Oh? Then I think there are people who are also supporting me. I'll ask him to show me this girl later." Jiang Fan said with a smile.

"Brother, you look like an outsider at first glance. No one in Daicheng knows what this person is. I advise you not to go. Otherwise, you might get cheated by him. It's all a waste of money."

The stall owner was very disdainful of this person. According to his introduction, this guy's name was Lu Sheng. I heard that he had studied for several years but failed to pass the exam. After failing, he had no livelihood, so he set up a stall like this. The dead talk and tell lies, but most of them only have a job of copying letters and writing letters for others. Occasionally they do fortune telling, but they just fool the older girls and younger wives. They listen for fun and are rewarded with a few cents.

This guy is also thick-skinned. As long as he has enough money to buy a drink, it doesn't matter who takes him as a joke.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but find it funny. He seemed to have seen a lot of this kind of people in movies and TV shows in his previous life. Basically, there were two types, either an expert like Dongfang Shuo, or a real charlatan, with the latter accounting for the majority.

The guy in front of me is wearing a soap coat and a small hat, with four slender black beards, thin eyebrows and long eyes. He looks a bit like an immortal, but the flag next to him is a bit funny. He wrote a couplet: If it doesn't work for me, It’s up to you whether you’ll be paid or not. It’s up to you. The four big characters in the center - Iron Mouth Divine Calculation.

If nothing else, this banner is very unique.

Jiang Fan suddenly felt very interesting and said to the stall owner: "But what I saw just now is that there are one or two Jianghu people?"

The stall owner snorted: "You don't know, this guy has been in Daicheng for a long time, and he lives by his mouth. He knows a lot about the messy things in the rivers and lakes in Daizhou. He relies on introducing others to the Holy Land and Daizhou. Customs and customs can also make some money, especially those who have just come to Daizhou from outside. They can always be fooled if they don't know it. Brother, don't let him fool you. "

Jiang Fan laughed: "It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway, let's have some fun."

After saying that, he put down a few pennies and led Xiao Xixi towards the fortune-telling stall.

He came to the table and stood there, looking at it with interest. He saw that this man was busy writing. Jiang Fan glanced at the content and saw that he was writing a letter home to a porter.

The content was dictated by the porter and was unremarkable. However, what surprised Jiang Fan was that the man used it in cursive script.

But it's not that strange. After all, as soon as the wine comes out, there are copycats everywhere. Cursive script has long been popular in all directions. It's not surprising that this kind of literati understands, but this guy obviously understands its essence better. Although the handwriting is not as good as Gu Qingshan's, it is not far behind.

After a while, when the family finished writing, the porter dropped two pennies and left happily holding the letter in his hands. Before Jiang Fan could say anything, he saw the guy put down his pen, squinted his eyes and twisted his mustache with his hand, and coughed: "Auspicious clouds are coming from the west today. I'm counting on a certain house to see if there are distinguished guests coming..."

Jiang Fan took a look and said, okay, here it comes, he really doesn't let the business go. But he didn't think much about it, after all, he had just come from West City.

"Then look at it, how expensive is it?"

Lu Tiezui squinted his eyes without looking at him. He clasped his knuckles and chanted for a moment, then suddenly slapped the table and exclaimed: "It's indescribable, it's indescribable. In the land of water virtue, purple energy comes from the west!"

Jiang Fan was horrified, Qin was indeed a land of virtue, could this sour scholar really be an expert?

"Oh...it seems that sir will continue to wait for the distinguished guest. Can we, brothers and sisters, make a fortune first?"

Lu Tiezui then opened his slender eyes and looked at him. After just one glance, he took a deep breath and stood up: "Oh - amazing, amazing!"

After saying that, he actually looked Jiang Fan up and down, and even circled around him twice.

Jiang Fan pretended to be confused: "Sir... this is..."

"This...this...is presumptuous, so presumptuous. This little brother is very noble and really has great luck." Lu Tiezui said with surprise on his face.

Jiang Fan frowned: "You are so unreliable. I'm just a monkey trick. Where did I get my luck from? I'm probably a liar. Forget it, let's go."

Lu Tiezui hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! How dare you ask the young master to sit down and talk?"

Jiang Fan hesitated: "We don't have much money..."

Lu Tiezui pointed at the cloth banner: "If it doesn't work, I won't charge you."

Jiang Fan looked at him suspiciously: "I'm just a monkey trick, don't fool me."

Lu Tiezui slapped the table: "I'm asking, little brother, who in Daicheng doesn't know me, Lu Tiezui, the iron mouth is straight, if it doesn't work, just listen, if it doesn't work, just get up and leave. Without taking any money or saying anything, Lu gave away money for tea!

Jiang Fan hesitated: "...Then, I'll just listen. Dare to ask..."

Lu Tiezui sat up straight: "But it doesn't hurt to talk?"

Jiang Fan looked at him: "Sir, do you think there will be any bloody disaster today?"

Lu Tiezui was stunned at the time, and soon saw the monkey behind Jiang Fan grinning, holding a stick in his hand, and a fierce look on his face.

"Ah...this..."

"Can't you figure it out?" Jiang Fan snorted: "Just call you a liar and give me the tea money."

Lu Tiezui's eyelids twitched and his face fell, but he quickly took a breath: "Brother, don't be joking. It's better to listen to what Lu has to say about my brother. "

"Okay, you tell me, I'll listen." Jiang Fan looked at him with interest.

Lu Tiezui's face returned to calmness, he stroked his beard and said, "But I don't know if I want to have wealth, fortune, or marriage for my children?"
