    In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.  It seems that the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in two or three days.  In the past few days, my father Liuda started to go out and buy a lot of new year's goods. Not only did he buy a lot of food and supplies, but he also spent money to hire an old woman with excellent cooking skills, and bought two small tea and water pouring stations.  Maid.  It turned out that the Liu family's business was very busy during this period, and some old ladies from wealthy families inevitably came over. The old man felt that it was inconvenient to always be the one to pour tea and water, so he bought two maids, one named Xiaocui.  , one is called Xiaohong, red and green, which is also festive.  As for the old woman who is responsible for cooking, she was specially hired by my father. I heard that her skills are good. She used to be a cook in a wealthy family. She is diligent and honest.  "As a result, the Liu family, which originally had only three people, suddenly had three more people. Fortunately, there were many houses and a large yard. Even with three more people, it still seemed unusually spacious.  Father Liu Da is taking care of things here, so that his son Liu Wenyang has no worries, and the originally prosperous business is even more prosperous.  During this period, Aunt Jin came and asked Liu Wenyang to go there.  Liu Daguan is no longer what he used to be. He can no longer run around like a boy paying off debts.  Be reserved!  You are a person with status!  However, Aunt Jin urged her again and again, making Liu Wenyang wonder if the other party was still thinking about the donkey lent to him.  !  To be honest, it's not that Liu Wenyang doesn't want to return the donkey, but that the donkey has good food and shelter in the Liu family. He stays in the shed and roars a few times when he has nothing to do. He has no heavy work to do. Now he is fat and strong so fat  If you return a donkey, won't you suffer a loss?  !  Of course, according to Liu Daguan's current property, a donkey is not worth much, but it is different if the person who returns the donkey is Aunt Jin.  "How mean, how preoccupied, and how hurtful to one's self-esteem is this little girl Liu Wenyang remembers every account and incident clearly, so this donkey just won't pay it back!  At this moment, as it was approaching noon, Liu Daguan politely sent away the boy who was helping Aunt Jin to deliver the message.  The boy was so depressed that his legs and feet were almost broken. He didn¡¯t know how many times he had passed the message, and now he had to return empty-handed. He didn¡¯t know if he would be scolded.  So when I went back, I had a sad face, as ugly as if my parents were dead.  In contrast, Liu Wenyang was full of pride, feeling that he had defeated Aunt Jin once again.  At this time, the newly purchased maid Xiao Cui came over with a cup of tea. Mingyue happened to see her, so she said to Xiao Cui: "I will take care of the young master. You can go about your business." That Xiao Cui is very good.  Reluctantly and unwillingly, she gave the tea to Mingyue.  It turns out that Liu Wenyang and Liu Daguan's "beautiful appearance" have long been famous far and wide. In this Peach Blossom Town, and even the surrounding generation, they have already become the idol in the minds of many girls.  Although Xiaocui and Xiaohong are newly purchased maids from the Liu Mansion, they are very thoughtful and always want to be close to their master. Even if they can pour tea and water for the "beautiful" Master Liu, they will be happy.  Especially compared to Xiao Hong, Xiao Cui is slightly more pretty and has a good figure. This time it was finally her turn to serve tea and water to the young master, and she had already thought of various ideas in her stomach.  For example, he spilled a little bit of the tea when he was placing it, and then made a pitiful look, kneeling on the ground and begging for the young master's forgiveness; another example was that the scented napkin he brought with him accidentally fell on Master Liu's lap.  At her feet, when he asked, she shyly replied that she knew how to embroider mandarin ducks In short, she had to do everything possible to make the young master notice her and notice her.  However, Tong Mingyue¡¯s loyalty stole the script that Xiao Cui had already designed and ruined her hard-earned opportunity. Do you think this will make her happy?  Little Tong Mingyue didn't know that he would be scolded by the new maid because of a bowl of tea. Seeing that the young master had been busy for a long time, he must be thirsty, so he cleverly handed over the half-cut tea.  .  Liu Wenyang was in a good mood, and seeing how well-behaved he was, he took the tea cup with a smile, took a sip and said, "We were already busy enough, but this Aunt Jin still comes to make trouble. Is it possible that her little donkey is made of gold?"  She wants it, but I won't give it to her! " Mingyue didn't know what kind of drama her young master was playing. It seemed that he had never been a stingy person, but what he said meant that he was angry with Aunt Jin.  Tong Mingyue knows Aunt Jin¡¯s name. She is known far and wide as a ¡°pretty widow.¡± I heard that she is very pretty, but her life is not good. She has killed several men in a row. I hope my young master will not get involved with this widow.  ~The woman is contaminated, so as not to be exposed to bad luck.  &nbsp; Just when the child Mingyue was thinking wildly, Liu Wenyang asked him: "Mingyue, how many guests are there outside?" Mingyue replied: "There are still twenty or thirty. But most of them ask you to help with fortune telling, and there are  "Are you not looking at Feng Shui or Yin Yang House?" Liu Wenyang nodded, and suddenly took out a piece of paper from his side and said, "It's not a big deal to do a fortune telling."  Not much. So I decided to tell fortunes to only ten people every day, and persuade everyone else to go back. As for the price, this is the price list I listed. Please find someone to copy it and post it!  " After observing Liu Daguanren's "paintings" yesterday, the little boy Mingyue thought that he was already immune. However, when he saw the bad words in front of him, he still couldn't help but take a breath and thought to himself, what kind of bad penmanship should be used to draw such bad words?  Such bad writing!  "Fortunately, the young master said that he would copy it and post it later. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to post it so blatantly." Mingyue said in her heart.  With her little head tilted and looking at Master Liu¡¯s words, Mingyue couldn¡¯t help but think of her former boss, Zhang Tiezui.  Compared with Master Liu, Mingyue suddenly felt that although the iron mouth was inferior in fortune-telling and fortune-telling, its skill in writing calligraphy was much better.  "No one is perfect!" Mingyue sighed again like a little adult.  ¡­ ¡­ The "price list" drawn up by Master Liu is very clear at a glance.  Xunlong Diantun: 300 taels of silver.  Guan Yin House Feng Shui: 200 taels of silver.  Guanyang House Feng Shui: 100 and two hundred silver.  Physiological observation (including palm reading, facial reading): 5 taels of silver.  The horoscope of batch: 3 taels of silver.  Test word: 1 tael of silver. ? ? Please note below: We only receive ten customers per day. If you have special needs, please make an appointment.  Seeing this, the little boy Mingyue couldn't help but admire Liu Wenyang so much, she patted the horse with a smile and said: "Young master is smart, so there seem to be fewer people who read fortunes, but the price has been raised, and our business is still booming!"  " Liu Wenyang is very happy that Mingyue can see his feelings at a glance.  Yes, just like before, three pennies, ten pennies, earned one by one, it would tire ten cows to death.  I can't stand such a large-scale work with my body, so I might as well raise the level of my business. Not only will it be much easier, but I can also make a living for other colleagues.  To prevent those people from pointing fingers behind his back and nagging him to engage in "monopoly".  "It's best if you understand what I mean. Post this as soon as possible. If anyone asks, just say that this is our new rule in Liu Mansion. If anyone accepts this price, the first thirty customers will get our  The Liu Mansion specially customized the 'Lucky Feng Shui Gift Pack Every Year'! "Liu Wenyang tirelessly instilled in the little boy Mingyue the business philosophy of cheating the dead without paying for it.  It is obvious that Tong Mingyue has a strong receptive ability. She admires Young Master Liu's business tricks like Yunshan's. She once again feels that she is following the right person, and she can learn many things from time to time that she could not learn before.  After talking freely about his business experience, Liu Wenyang was also tired and waved his hand, meaning to let the boy go down to prepare.  But Mingyue didn't go out immediately. Instead, she opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she had something to say but didn't dare to say it.  Who is Liu Wenyang? He is the best at observing words and expressions, so he said to him: "You have something else to say, but it doesn't matter." The little boy Mingyue then said with an ugly face: "I do have one more thing to report here  It¡¯s like this, young master, there are more and more customers in the house these days. Those guys selling Feng Shui gourds and house-protecting mirrors are all clamoring for more labor, young master, saying that the workload is getting bigger and bigger, and you can make money.  There are more and more, but they only have a pitiful thirty cents a day" Mingyue tried his best to remove some unpleasant words from the original words, so as not to make the young master angry, but even so, there was still a vague hint of what he said.  Some telltale signs.  "Also, they said they are waiting for your reply now. If you don't give them more labor, they will collectively stop working! At that time, even if you spend double the money to invite them back, they will not come back!" Threat!  The threat of nakedness!  I didn¡¯t expect that there would be collective strikes in the Ming Dynasty.  Liu Wenyang smiled, picked up the teacup with his hand, blew gently on the tea leaves floating on it, and asked Mingyue, "What do you think?" "What?" Mingyue didn't understand.  "Let me ask you, what kind of person do you think I am? Am I as mean and ungrateful as they say, greedy and stingy, holding on to the money bag and only squeezing their hard-earned money?!" Liu Wenyang said with his eyes.? Staring at the bright moon squinting.  Mingyue suddenly felt that the young master in front of her seemed to have changed. He was no longer as gentle and polite as usual, but had an indescribable power.  Especially those eyes, like two sharp knives, seem to be able to penetrate your heart at any time, making it impossible for you to escape!  Why do you have this strange feeling?  Mingyue really doesn't understand.  Little Tong Mingyue didn¡¯t know that since ancient times, skilled fortune tellers have used unique methods to practice the art of fortune telling, and Liu Wenyang is no exception.  There is a saying in the Fragment of Tianji: "If you want to practice the art of fortune-telling, you must first look up at the bright sun until your eyes are dazzled, and put red and black beans in a dark room. Then hang five-colored strands outside the window and reflect the moon to distinguish its colors. All are correct."  Then look at people. The method is to use two torches at night to look at the person's appearance and complexion, and then refer to the year and month of birth. "Liu Wenyang practiced according to the above method, and as his reputation became more and more famous, he continued to practice.  The more diligent you are, lest you are not good at your studies and make a fool of yourself in the future.  Nowadays, as his ability to observe physiognomy becomes more and more profound, and his ability to read people becomes more and more sophisticated, his eyes are as bright as torches. Not to mention staring at people closely, just looking at them with a little force can also give people a good impression.  This kind of indescribable shock is enough to scare those who have ghosts in their hearts.  The Chinese website welcomes all book lovers to come and read.
