Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Looking back, Liu Wenyang looked at his own anti-theft system - he had neither a ferocious watchdog nor a skilled servant or martial artist, only a lazy python pretending to be a "dragon".  In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be really nice to have this big python to guard the home and care for the home, but only Liu Wenyang clearly knows that this python is an out-and-out "paper tiger", not to mention that it will break with just one poke.  , even if someone scares it with a pole, it can make it tremble all over. This is because the father was too harsh in the first place and left sequelae.  Therefore, this guy who looks very majestic on the surface is actually a coward. Liu Wenyang does not expect to use it to guard his tens of millions of property.  So, Liu Wenyang first exchanged the silver taels into one thousand taels of silver notes, then put the priceless beads together, and then began to think hard about a good way. It would be best to find an extremely secret place to hide the things.  , making it impossible for those snitches to attack.  But in this era, there are neither safes nor lockboxes. What should we do?  !  So Liu Wenyang started to think around at home. He looked through the bottom of the stove and felt that it was not good. If something went wrong, it would be burned by a fire. He also looked over the flower pots and felt that something was wrong. Maybe it would become mushy when the water was boiled.  Then he thought about learning from Sir Wei, used a knife to pry open the bricks on the wall, and hid the banknotes and beads inside, but he was afraid that the gap would be too obvious, so it would alert the snitch.  I have a headache!  Liu Daguan, a smart man, was stumped by the shelter of his private money.  But after all, he is not an ordinary person. He is able to pretend to be a fool and deceive him to this point. Of course, there is something unusual about him.  So Liu Wenyang thought about it, and then he thought of a wise saying: The most dangerous place is the safest place!  Immediately, he looked up and high-fived: "Yes!" But in the hall where he helped people read fortunes, there was a huge Feng Shui gourd hanging on the front wall.  The gourd has never opened its mouth, it is intact, and there are even dry vines attached to the mouth of the gourd.  The gourd has a "Fu Lu Shou" pattern painted on it. In the pattern, the longevity star with a bright forehead is riding a nine-color sika deer. Behind the sika deer's butt is a boy with buns pointing upward. The boy is vivid and holds a baby in his arms.  A big birthday peach.  It can be said that this feng shui gourd has exquisite workmanship and beautiful pyrography. It is the best accessory to decorate the facade and embellish the environment.  However, Liu Wenyang did not take the time to admire the workmanship of this gourd. Instead, he picked it off, held the mouth of the gourd with a knife, and sawed hard.  Time, time!  From the mouth of the gourd, powder is flying.  The powder hit his nose, "Sneeze!" Someone who was cutting the gourd's mouth with a knife sneezed and couldn't help but rub his nose with his fingers.  When the sawing was almost done, a section of the gourd mouth was cut off with a forceful blow.  Liu Wenyang was overjoyed. He first put the sawed gourd mouth aside, then took a slender chopstick, inserted it into the gourd, stirred it, and knocked out all the scattered gourd seeds.  He knocked and knocked until all the contents of the gourd's stomach were removed, and then he stopped.  Then, Liu Wenyang took the precious silver notes and beads and wrapped them tightly in moisture-proof oil paper. He first stuffed the beads one by one into the gourd mouth, and then rolled the silver notes into thin strips.  Stuffed in.  The last step is to put the sawed gourd head back towards the gourd mouth and seal it carefully with beeswax that's it!  Unless the snitch knew that there was something in the gourd, no one would have thought that Xiao Liu Shenxiang had put all his belongings in the gourd.  He tapped the gourd's bulging belly with his fingers, and the sound was muffled. Liu Wenyang and Liu Daguan looked at his masterpiece and couldn't help but shrug and smile. He felt that he was too smart to even do such a difficult method.  You can imagine it!  Liu Wenyang hung the Feng Shui gourd on the wall of the hall again. Liu Wenyang looked left and right, but he felt that hanging only one gourd seemed too monotonous and too conspicuous. Maybe those snitches had nothing to steal and took it away.  , Well, it would be best to hang some calligraphy and paintings to set it off.  Thinking of this, Liu Wenyang summoned Mingyue, a boy and book boy, and asked him to prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones, saying that he wanted to "draw with his pen."  Besides, this little kid Mingyue was nicknamed "Slug" in the past because he had no clothes to wear in the winter and his nose was so cold that his nose was runny all the time. His nose was like the Yellow River overflowing all day long and he couldn't stop it. Now in the Liu family it's just food.  Whether he is well-dressed or not, he eats and drinks every now and then, his runny nose has disappeared, and he has grown taller and stronger.  It can be said that in this Liu Mansion, the young master treats the little boy Mingyue very well.From time to time, he was even rewarded with a few small coins. This was a life of wealth that was unimaginable before.  In addition, Liu Wenyang also took special care of Mingyue's family, providing rice, flour, clothes, and other expenses from time to time.  Mingyue's mother was sick, and Liu Wenyang paid for the doctor.  Since then, not only Mingyue herself, but even Mingyue's old mother has become extremely grateful to the Liu family. She feels that her son can stay in such a family because he has lost his good fortune and burned high incense. She also keeps telling Mingyue to repay her benefactor.  , take good care of the young master.  Under her mother's advice, Mingyue cherished this rare opportunity even more and served Liu Wenyang and Young Master Liu wholeheartedly, for fear of doing something wrong and being expelled from the Liu family.  At this moment, the book boy Mingyue heard that Master Liu wanted to paint, so he hurriedly started to prepare, grinding, laying out paper, burning incense, and preparing water deep down in his heart, he was even more looking forward to it. He only knew that the young master was once a scholar.  , but I didn¡¯t know that he also knew how to paint, so I had to keep my eyes open to admire the young master¡¯s masterpiece.  ¡°If this little book boy had the foresight and knew that Liu Daguan had a bad calligraphy that would make people cry, he would definitely not look forward to his paintings so much.  In a moment, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all ready.  Liu Wenyang very solemnly put his hands into the basin and washed them with clean water. In the words of Ming Dynasty literati, this was called "cleaning hands". Then he wiped it with a towel and let the bright moon light the sandalwood until the fragrance overflowed.  At this time, he put his horse into a good position and began to draw luck.  What to draw?  !  Pine, bamboo and plum?  It¡¯s so vulgar!  ?Beauty pictures?  Afraid of being admired by others.  After thinking about it, I came up with it¡ª¡ªbut seeing Liu Daguan finally put pen to paper. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? She was standing quietly by the side, waiting with her eyes wide open, but she waited and waited, but Official Liu didn¡¯t move.  Just when he was waiting with eyes anxious and heart panicking, the other party made a move.  Mingyue didn't bother to blink, fearing that she would miss Master Liu's strokes and the momentum of his step down, so she hurriedly watched closely - only to see Liu Wenyang holding the brush, very roundly on it  A circle as big as a copper coin was drawn on the good rice paper.  That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a circle!  He probably felt that the circle was not too round, so he traced it again and again, and finally the circle became round.  The book boy Mingyue was stunned and thought, what is this?  !  However, after following her former boss Zhang Tiezui for a long time, the little boy Mingyue inevitably fell into the habit of flattering others. She said sweetly: "Young master, this circle is very good. It is round and black. If you add another tail, it will be perfect."  He became a little tadpole wandering around! "Liu Wenyang smiled without saying a word and started painting again.  I saw him standing some distance away, and then he moved the pen on the paper and actually drew another circle!  The child Mingyue smiled and said: "This circle is well drawn. It is round like a toad's belly and black like sesame paste. If you add six more legs, it will become a dung beetle rolling around in cow dung!" Liu Wenyang continued to write,  It turned out to be another black circle - Tong Mingyue: "" She had to use her brain to continue to pat the horse and said: "This circle is also good, very round and very black. If there are two more horns and a leg, it will become that crackling.  "The rattle!" Liu Wenyang ignored him and continued to draw circles until he had drawn seven black circles on the snow-white paper. Then he raised his wrist and put away the pen, and then asked the child Mingyue with a smile: "Tell me, these  What is it again? " The little boy scratched his head and scratched his head, and finally said with a grimace: "Master, please forgive me, I really don't know what you are drawing! They say they are a group of tadpoles, but they all have missing tails; they say they are shit.  A shell beetle, but it¡¯s missing too many legs; it¡¯s a rattle, but it¡¯s missing its horns and can¡¯t play¡­ Young Master, your painting skills are so unpredictable, I really can¡¯t guess what this is!¡± Liu Wenyang said proudly!  He smiled and said to Mingyue in a sincere and instructive tone: "Mingyue, Mingyue, you are lucky to follow me. After you follow me, you will not only be well fed and well-fed, but also learn a lot. Look, this  What is it again" As he spoke, Liu Daguan picked up his pen and drew a crooked ink line in the seven circles.  The little boy Mingyue's eyes widened and he looked at the pictures on the white paper again and again, but still couldn't figure out any clues?  My heart said, could this be a magic spell to catch ghosts or an exorcism spell?  !  Otherwise, why would it be so ugly?  !  Seeing that the child was still confused, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but said seductively: "Take a closer look, what does my painting look like?" The child Mingyue scratched his forehead hard, and looked at the seven people with wide eyes again.  A circle and a line?Suddenly he suddenly realized: "Oh, Master, I understand! What you drew is a bunch of money, but this bunch of money is a little less, only seven copper coins!" With a "click", Liu Wenyang knocked on the forehead of the little boy Mingyue  After a moment, he laughed and scolded: "You guy, you are obsessed with money at a young age. Apart from money, can't you see anything else?" After being knocked on the forehead by Master Liu, the little boy Mingyue couldn't help but feel bitter.  He said with a face: "Master, I am too stupid. I really can't see anything except a bunch of money Well, at most it looks like a spoon with a bent handle" Liu Wenyang laughed loudly, "  Mingyue, Mingyue, is your forehead a lamp? Why doesn't it light up if you don't knock it? But it lights up when you knock it Yes, this painting looks like a spoon, but it's not an ordinary spoon, but a handful filled with stars.  "The big spoon of the moon!" As he spoke, Liu Daguan took his masterpiece with his hands and stretched it out, saying: "This is the first painting you and I have ever painted. It may also be the first painting you have ever made."  The last painting - the picture of the Big Dipper! "The child Mingyue said: "The picture of the Big Dipper?" She looked at that "masterpiece" with surprise and uncontrollable astonishment.  .  Liu Wenyang was very proud and said: "Stop looking, hang it up first, and then you can see enough!" It took a long time for the child Mingyue to hold back a sentence, "Master, do you really want to hang this painting?" Liu Wenyang couldn't help but  She was stunned, "What do you mean?! Do you doubt my young master's painting skills?" "Oh no!" Tong Mingyue quickly waved her hands and said, "I just think this painting is too precious, and it is your first work, young master."  It may be the last piece of work. If something goes wrong when it is hung, then it will be like 'the turtle bastard has nothing to do - it is completely over'! " Liu Wenyang: "Stop talking nonsense!  , Yes, hang it next to the Feng Shui gourd! I have already figured out the location and time. As long as I hang this painting, the business in this hall will be prosperous and it will be great! " The little boy took another look at that painting!  Painting, he couldn't help but tremble because his art appreciation ability was not up to par, and he thought to himself, yes, not only can it kill people everywhere, but it can also exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits!
