Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

Walk towards the city gate, in a restaurant beside the city gate.

A man dressed as a scribe was sitting by the window and eating food. He looked like a middle-aged man who was just under 30 years old.

The two mustaches on his lips moved up and down with the food in his mouth, which looked a little funny.

A pair of thick eyebrows are not simple and honest, but more shrewd.The eyes are not big, but they are a pair of eyes that are difficult for people to see through.

This unattractive middle-aged scribe took a mouthful of food, chewed it, and looked out the window casually.

The flow of people outside the window is different for everyone.

But in his eyes, most of them are the same. In his opinion, there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is those who can achieve things, and the other is those who are useless.

He has learned some physiognomy, and occasionally made some rough comments on some people. He still has some confidence in seeing people.

"Kaba Kaba." There were chewing sounds in his mouth.

The middle-aged scribe's eyes were a little bored, and today was the same as usual, he couldn't see anyone worth seeing.

Just as he was about to look away, he glanced at the street for the last time, but stopped there.

A man in a white shirt walked by there, the white clothes were still very conspicuous in the crowd, with a bamboo hat on his head, and behind him was a bamboo box half the height of a person.

Chapter 286: It's all said, don't be superstitious

In the distance behind the white-clothed man, there seemed to be a beggar-like child quietly following with three doughnuts.

The middle-aged scribe did not look at the child, but focused on the white-clothed man.

The mouths that were chewing the food slowly stopped, and the bowls and chopsticks in their hands were put down.

That person, with one glance, couldn't see anything.

When a person sees a person, he will have a first impression, no matter what it is, it may be appearance, an action, or clothing.

There will always be a feeling.

As for that person, he didn't feel anything, as if a log had passed before his eyes.

He had never seen anyone like it.

The scribe raised his hand and took a grain of rice from his mouth into his mouth.

Shouting food in his mouth, he turned his head and shouted.

"Store, pay the bill."

The crowd in front of the city gate was crowded, and Gu Nan squeezed out of the city among the crowd.

Suddenly heard a cry from behind.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, wait a moment, wait a moment."

The voice was not obvious in front of the crowded city gate, Gu Nan thought it was not calling her, so she didn't turn her head.

"Your Mightiness?"

"Your Mightiness."

It wasn't until the man called out twice that Gu Nan turned around in surprise.

All I saw was a middle-aged man in literati attire pushing his way out of a group of people, until his hat was crooked.

The literati heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Nan finally stopped. He was worried that he would not be able to make it in time.

Adjusting his hat, he took a breath and stepped forward to say.

"Your Excellency, my servant, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?"

Said and made a please gesture.

Although Gu Nan was puzzled, it was not easy to refuse, but she didn't really mind just talking a few words.

But she didn't know the person in front of her, so she didn't know why she would find her.

The two walked to the side of the road, in an open space, right next to the city gate, and they could still see people coming and going in the city and hear the complicated voices.But compared to the front of the city gate, it is already much better.

The two walked to the clearing.

The literati surnamed Xu turned his head to look at the city, and shook his head as if recalling the scene where he was crowded out just now.

"The gates of the city have been guarded by soldiers, and the city will be unstable."

The voice has calmed down, and it is no longer as breathless as before.

Gu Nan nodded in agreement. There was indeed chaos, but it wasn't just the city that was in chaos, but the whole world.

"I don't know what your Excellency called me for?"

Turning his head to the side, he asked a little puzzled.

"Ah." The scholar surnamed Xu seemed to be informal, grinning, and the two mustaches on his lips moved accordingly.

"I'm a native of Ruyang City. Apart from studying scriptures and Taoism since childhood, I prefer to study physiognomy. I often study it, but I have learned something. I often sit in restaurants and watch people's appearance."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Gu Nan with both eyes. He still couldn't see anything, the bamboo hat was covering his face, and he couldn't even tell the difference between male and female.

Said with some embarrassment.

"Just now, I saw Your Excellency passing by in the street in a restaurant, and I couldn't understand the meaning of his appearance, so I chased after you. Please give me a closer look."

As he said that, he even showed embarrassment on his face, after all, his behavior seemed weird to others.

······

Physiognomy?

Gu Nan glanced up and down at the middle-aged scribe, as if he understood something.

He smiled, waved his hand and said.

"It's still free. I don't have any money on me. Your Excellency should find someone else."

Xu Wenren was stunned for a moment, wondering what he wanted money for, and then reacted, his face flushed for a while.

He knew that the other party regarded him as a charlatan.

He touched his nose in embarrassment, he, Xu Shao, was quite well-known in Runan.
