Chapter 6 The poor road comes from the mountains, here to pluck the phoenix's hair
Although the treasured dragon vein was in Liaodong, Hu Ye did not go north directly, but chose to go south instead.
He first arrived at the secret branch of the "Heaven and Earth Society" located in Luoyang. Through the channel of conveying information in the association, he sent a letter to his father. He explained his plan for treasure collection and asked him to make arrangements first.
Then, he rode a bad horse all the way south, and he couldn't help but stay hungry, eat thirst, drink till nights on the road, and rushed to Foshan Town in Guangdong in one day.
Foshan Town, Hankou Town, Hubei, Jingde Town, Jiangxi, and Zhuxian Town, Henan are collectively known as the "Four Famous Towns in the World". It is not only located in a key position, but also a well-connected water and land hub, but also a place for distribution of goods and goods in the Lingnan area, and a gathering place for industries such as smelting, casting, ceramics, textiles, and pharmaceuticals. Although it is just a town, the market is prosperous but it is better than many famous counties.
Because the streets were full of traffic and crowds, Hu Ye got off the horse at the north entrance of the town, and walked leisurely into the town with his hands holding the reins.
When he walked to the town, he suddenly saw a very large-scale courtyard in front of him. Looking from the tall courtyard wall made of blue bricks on the north side, there were faintly trees and eaves pecking at each other.
Hu Ye was very skilled and had a sharp ear. From a distance, he heard a high and low laughter and noise from the courtyard wall, as well as the sound of singing silk and bamboo and singing songs.
When he got closer, he saw a vegetable garden opened outside the courtyard wall of the mansion, about two acres and one or two centimeters in size, surrounded by fences made of branches, and a small shack was built at the opening on the north side.
In the vegetable field, a pair of middle-aged men and women dressed in plain clothes were each carrying a wooden barrel, taking turns to draw water from a pool in the corner of the vegetable garden, and watering it into pieces of vegetable beds.
Next to the shack, two children squatted on the ground with their heads in their heads, and there were some big and small stones in front of them. They didn't know what games they were playing.
Hu Ye's heart moved, stopped at the entrance of the vegetable garden, and sang: "Two donors, I am polite!"
The man and woman turned their heads and met when they heard the sound. Seeing a young Taoist standing there with a horse, the man hurriedly put down the wooden barrel, walked a few steps to meet him, clasped his fists and bowed, "I don't know what instructions do you have to call the villain couple?"
Hu Dao bowed and said, "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun. I was so thirsty that I was a little overwhelmed by the way here. I wanted to ask for a bowl of water to drink, but I wonder if it was convenient?"
The man nodded quickly: "It's inconvenient to have a bowl of water, the Taoist priest wait."
After saying that, he turned around the shack, picked up a pottery jar and poured it into a large thick porcelain bowl with clear water, held it in both hands and sent it to Hu Ye, and said shyly: "The little man is poor and cannot treat him with tea. Please don't be surprised."
Hu Ye smiled and said, "When you go out, you will be blessed to drink water. Why not talk about being weird?"
As he said that, he took the big bowl and drank the big bowl of water in one go.
He returned the bowl to the other party with both hands and asked with a smile: "I am rude, haven't you asked the donor's name yet?"
"Don't dare," the man took the bowl and replied, "The villain is exempted from his surname Zhong, and he is ranked fourth in the family."
Hu Ye looked up at the mansion in front of him and asked casually: "The mansion in front is very lively, but what are the happy events in the master?"
Zhong Asi didn't care, and replied casually: "That is the house of Mr. Feng Tiannan, our rich man in Foshan. Today is his happy day to accept the wife of the seventh house. All the top figures from all over the country rushed to congratulate him, and some people sent a few big shows, so it was very lively."
"So that's it." Hu Ye nodded, bowed his head and thanked the other party, and led the horse to walk forward.
Zhong Asi didn't care about this brief intersection, and still returned to work with his wife to carefully take care of this vegetable garden that was related to food and clothing plans.
But while walking, Hu Ye thought to himself with some bad taste: "First drink your bowl of water, and then save your family from a disaster in the future. In this way, the cause and effect are clear, I am considered to be a person!"
But in the mansion in front, the owner Feng Tiannan was personally delivering a guest to the door, bowing and laughing, "Boss Fang came to congratulate him from afar, but he only hurriedly drank a glass of water and wine and was about to leave. This really made the brothers feel very uneasy!"
He was about fifty years old, wearing a brand new brocade robe, with a rich face, two white beards on his upper lip, but his eyes were filled with divine light, and he was full of power.
The boss Fang was a man with white face and no need to beauties. Although he was dressed as a merchant, his every move showed a bookish spirit.
He bowed and returned the bow, and said with a smile: "Today is Mr. Feng's happy day. I should have stayed here to accompany you and have fun. But you and I just said that you have decided on that big business. I must go back to Guangzhou as soon as possible to arrange money transportation and other matters, so I had to say goodbye first. Forgive me, forgive me!"
After politely admonishing each other, the boss got on a carriage waiting at the door and walked south along the street.
At this time, guests still came to Feng Mansion in a constant stream, but Feng Tiannan valued his identity and not every guest had to greet him in person. At that time, he turned back to the mansion to entertain those guests who were worthy of weight.
Among these guests who continued to enter Feng Mansion, a pair of men and women seemed quite eye-catching.
The woman was a woman under forty years old. Although she was half old, her body under her long light green skirt was still graceful and her face was very beautiful. There was a faint cunning and naughty temperament that should have belonged to a girl.
The man was a 17 or 18-year-old boy with a medium figure, bright clothes, and handsome appearance. He just put a pair of round sunglasses from the West on his nose, which looked a bit more gimmicky.
The two of them were walking in the crowd, while talking in a low voice.
"Mom, I heard that Feng Tiannan is nicknamed "Nan Batian". Mingli is a rich man, but in fact he is the head of the famous "Five Humen" in the world. There are many disciples in Guangdong doing business without capital, and he is entrenched in Foshan to share the spoils. Dad is a serious businessman, how could he congratulate such people?"
"You also said that Brother De is a businessman. If you want to do business throughout the world, you will naturally have to deal with people from all walks of life. We just keep watching in secret to prevent him from being bullied by bad people. Don't ask more about the other things!"
There is a banquet in the front yard of Feng Mansion. If the guests are not qualified to receive them personally, they can just find a seat to sit down and eat and drink.
The mother and son sat down in a corner, then stretched their necks and looked around in the crowd, looking for their husbands and fathers.
Suddenly, a clear and long smile rang in the air, suppressing the noise in the yard: "The evil guest is here, please come out and meet you!"
Everyone was shocked and looked up in the sound, but saw a young Taoist priest standing on a branch as thick as a finger at the top of a big tree in the yard, swaying with the branches, and his big sleeves danced in the wind, as if he was flying fairy.
Feng Tiannan in the house heard the three words "President Feng" in his laughter, and then he knew that the person who came must be from the world, and that the person who came was not good, so he immediately took his son Feng Yiming and more than ten men to the yard.
A group of people looked up and saw the Taoist on the treetops. They were shocked by this shocking light body skill and were stunned on the spot.
Feng Tiannan looked solemn, and he clasped his fists into the air and bowed, "Dare you ask what is the name of this Taoist priest? What advice do you have when you visit the humble house today?"
