Chapter 674 One thing, two things.
Perhaps it was because as Gong Xiang said, there were many relatives and friends in the family who came to visit, or in Gong Yigua's mind, Wen Shuo was indeed a distinguished guest. It was also possible that Gong Yigua had earned money from Wu Yusheng last year, and the time began to make money like flowing water, so this family dinner was particularly rich tonight.
It can even be said that it was a waste!
There were four people in total, a large table of chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps and crabs were made. Gong Yigua also specially bought two bottles of the best Wuliangye...
It was already 9:30 pm when the meal started.
However, this meal made Wen Shuo feel a little uncomfortable - because he was very sensitive to discover that when the three of them were eating, they should follow the ancient saying of "don't eat or sleep" and Jiang Yao and Gong Xiang basically didn't speak much, and they would eat in small mouthfuls when they picked up food.
Even Gong Yigua, the man who is in charge of the family, poured wine a little unfamiliarly when entertaining the distinguished guest Wen Shuo, and said a few simple words to persuade him to drink...
Then I poured wine again, please, please...
Wen Shuo was just not used to this, but he had no objection.
Gong Yigua, who can't persuade people to drink or chat at the table, can only keep pouring wine for Wen Shuo and drinking with Wen Shuo.
Soon, Jiang Yao and Gong Xiang were all full and it was not easy to leave the table. They just sat quietly at the table, looking at Wen Shuo and Gong's hexagram, you drink one cup after another, you drink one mouthful of wine and eat vegetables.
The scene is weird and the atmosphere is awkward.
The fat man, who was born with a delicate heart, was a little at a loss for a moment.
If you say politely and eat and drink enough, it will seem too deliberate, which will make the host embarrassed and guilty. If you sit here and continue to look at the mother and son quietly and accompany you, you will drink the "dolly gourd" of Gong Yigua, just like this, chatting with you... It's too awkward!
After thinking for a while, the fat man smiled and raised his glass and said, "Sir, Madam, I have a reluctant request."
"Ah, you say, you say!" Gong Yigua seemed to be drunk and above.
Jiang Yao smiled gently, looking at listening with a gentle look.
"I came here abruptly today, and there was so much trouble. Mr. Gong and his wife organized such a dinner party. I was really moved and I couldn't help but blame myself." Wen Shuo smiled and drank the glass of wine and said, "I won't say much if I see you and I haven't had enough time to drink. Why don't you and me go to the study to drink and talk about it? It's better for the wife to clean up the restaurant earlier and rest safely earlier, so that she doesn't have to worry about taking care of us anymore."
"No, no, just drink and talk here. Xiaoxiang and I will go to rest first and don't bother you." Jiang Yao finally realized that it was her and her son who were here to accompany the guests, which made the guests uncomfortable.
Gong Xiang looked confused.
Gong Yigua suddenly realized the truth and said hurriedly: "No, no, it's good here, it's good..."
Wen Shuo was sweating profusely in his heart - this family!
He smiled and said, "Go to the study, there are still some things to talk about."
"Oh, that's OK, that's OK." Gong Yigua agreed, picked up the unfinished wine, Wen Shuo stood up and took the initiative to lift a plate of leftover chicken and a plate of crabs, and said with a smile: "Enough, let's go upstairs to have a drink..."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stairs without hesitation.
If you are more polite, it will make Jiang Yao and Gong Yigua even more embarrassing.
It's better to be so generous.
Seeing this, Jiang Yao did not go to clean up the restaurant first, but went to the kitchen to make a plate of snacks and a plate of fruits to send to the study.
Finally calmed down.
Gong Yigua poured wine for Wen Shuo and said apologetically: "Sorry, I am a man, well, and I have no experience in entertaining guests at home. I don't know the etiquette, so I'll forgive you more, please forgive me."
"It's nothing, but I'm here..." Wen Shuo waved his hand and smiled: "Now we are the two of us, so there is no need to say so many polite words."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Gong Yigua quickly started a glass of wine.
Wen Shuo smiled and said, "This time I came here to ask for something. Well, there should be two things now."
"Oh, I'm not polite!" Gong Yigua said: "If you have something to do, you can help, and if you can't help, you have to help... Of course, I dare not speak too much. You know that I don't have any other skills, and I don't have much social communication, so... well..."
"Master Gong, you are pretending to be pitiful, and you will have even fewer friends." Wen Shuo smiled and picked up the wine bottle, poured wine for Gong Yigua, and said, "I don't want to ask for others and don't like being asked. I can understand your attitude towards life, but I can't fully agree. What I mean is, half agree and half deny."
Gong Yigua was stunned, smiled bitterly and sighed, saying, "Actually, half of them are pretending, and half are serious. I have been used to such a life for so many years, and I am happy with it. I will not be disturbed and live a free life. I can calm down and practice and study and realize the truth."
"Then, I like to say something." Wen Shuo put down the wine bottle, boiled water and prepared tea, and said, "I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice and research on the mysterious method recently, so I want to solve the problem and open the bottleneck by studying the mysterious method of other sects... Don't get me wrong. I am not asking for your fortune to calculate the mysterious method, but just want to understand this mysterious method, the basic knowledge, talismans, mantras, mental methods, magic arrays, etc., and there is no need."
"This..." Gong Yigua looked hesitant. He wanted to say no to refuse directly, but what Wen Shuo said made it difficult for him to refuse.
In my heart, I felt a little disgusted with Wen Shuo's request.
This was an easy and embarrassing request, so why bother to make it?
Wen Shuo clumsyly peeled off a crab, and used chopsticks to pick up the crab roe with his chopsticks, and said, "It's all people in the Xuanmen. I understand that such a request is too difficult, so I shouldn't make it, but... I have encountered difficulties. I'll say frankly. It's not that there is a bottleneck in my practice, but that I need to comprehend the various mysterious techniques of the five mythology. Well, even if the mountain gate is gone, the four techniques will be gathered together to form a mountain gate. And in this world, I'm afraid I can't find it if I really look for mountain gate techniques."
"You want to collect all four techniques?" Gong Yigua was shocked that the little drunkenness that had just become popular disappeared.
"I'm just collecting everything, how can I have so much ability?" Wen Shuo smiled and said, "What I mean is just meditation."
Gong Yigua frowned: "What difficulties do you encounter? What should you do?"
"I can't tell you now, but I can't tell you in the future..." Wen Shuo said: "Of course, friendship is friendship, and this kind of busyness cannot be used to help you in vain, that is, I'm ignorant."
"How to say it?" Gong Yigua asked.
"Have you heard of the name of Academician Song Zhaosheng?" Wen Shuo asked back, and before Gong Yigua answered, he said: "I studied and discussed with the old academician, and drew the running pattern of the human body's meridians, acupoints, three souls, five internal organs, and seven souls. In short, it is to draw the Zhoutian!"
Gong Yigua was filled with energy, and a fiery excitement immediately burst out in his eyes.
"Exchange." Wen Shuo said these two words very simply.
"Academician Song Zhaosheng, what are you doing?" Gong Yigua asked carefully.
“Medical expert.”
"make a deal!"
Gong Yigua agreed simply and neatly.
Wen Shuo picked up the backpack next to him, took out a stack of A4 paper bound in advance, handed it to Gong Yigua, and said, "You take a look first, and... Master Gong, I hope you can compile the key points and structures of fortune-telling as detailed as possible."
Gong Yigua took a stack of paper into his hand, opened the first page and glanced at it, and immediately realized that this thing was definitely real!
He endured the urge to read carefully in his heart, closed it and put it next to him, and said, "You... just trust me?"
"Of course." Wen Shuo smiled.
"What if I give you fake or cheat?" Gong Yigua narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"People say that medical treatment is not self-government, and divination is not counted." Wen Shuo replied dyingly: "Is it possible that one of the fortune-telling can accurately calculate one's fate, whether it is life, death, blessing, or disaster?"
This seems to be a bit inexplicable.
But Gong Yigua, who was used to pretending to be confused, heard the clear confidence and threat in his words. He smiled and said, "If you calculate fortunes, you can really calculate your own fate, at least... I can do it."
In this sentence, there is also extremely strong confidence.
"Forget it, it's up to you if you are true or not, it doesn't matter." Wen Shuo waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the next thing. After the negotiations are completed, let's talk about the Xuan Lu Dao tonight. Of course, I'm asking for advice. How about your answer?"
Gong Yigua was choked and said with a hint of laughter: "Please speak."
"It's better to talk about family matters first and relax. The atmosphere was quite serious when I said just now." Wen Shuo said quietly.
"Sorry, I lost my composure, I will definitely write it out seriously." Gong Yigua was very embarrassed.
The few words just now were indeed a bit competitive.
Moreover, he really picked it up.
Too insignificant!
"I talked to your baby son today. This kid is very smart, but he has not practiced the mysterious method." The fat man really started to talk about his common words and said, "I can see that you love your son very much, why don't you pass on your mysterious method to him? It will be too late in a few years."
Gong Yigua shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Oh, this child has a great prejudice to me, especially the mysterious method, so..."
"Rebellious period?" Wen Shuo blinked his eyes and said with some gloating pleasure: "It came a little early, how old is he?"
"I'm twelve years old." Gong Yigua sighed and said, "This child is precocious. It's a big blame for me. I haven't been able to give my family financially good conditions for many years. In order to practice the mysterious method, I neglect interpersonal relationships on a daily basis, which has led to the embarrassment among relatives, friends, neighbors and neighbors. Alas."
"Um." Wen Shuo nodded and said, "Then you really don't want to pass it on to him? Isn't you making money now?"
Gong Yigua glanced at the fat man and said, "I will tell you my fortune and don't pass on my descendants."
"Damn!" Wen Shuo showed a surprised expression: "Why?"
"This is the fate."
Chapter completed!
