The Chen family has a daughter to marry

Chapter No.16:

Just a little while before Xue Liuer went to the inn, Chen Xiaobaa had already won the leader in Master Lin's first test. The first problem that Lin Daoyuan, a businessman, asked Master Lin was to count the copper coins, so Among the 30 people, the ten slowest people will be eliminated, and there will be a total of three competitions, and the time will accumulate.

Chen Xiaobaa was very talented in business, so he picked it up easily. At the meeting, Chen Xiaobaa finally met the scholar named Hu Ansheng.

How can the man surnamed Hu be considered a scholar by his appearance?He has a burly figure that can't be concealed even in a loose white cloth jacket. His skin is tanned in this scorching place, but his appearance is quite handsome. There is no pedantic bookishness in his gestures, but he can still listen to him when talking with him. He was a handsome young man, but at the end of the game, a pair of eyes like ice skates looked at Chen Xiaobaa with extreme hatred, as if he wanted to pluck out the heart of this cunning little "man" - others may not know, but in fact this In this competition, Hu Ansheng should have won the championship!

When Chen Xiaobaa entered the arena, she saw the stalwart Hu Ansheng for the first time, and asked Lu Weizhi to confirm her identity, so she went up to make jokes, saying "I am very optimistic about the match made in heaven between Brother Hu and Ms. Lin" and so on. Waiting for words of praise like this, and before the opening, he stood on tiptoe and patted Hu Ansheng on the shoulder, saying, "Even if you definitely lose, being able to share the stage with a hero like Brother Hu is not in vain."

Although Na Juan responded lukewarmly with "Miao Zan Miao Zan", it is not difficult to see the joy in his heart from the smugness in his eyes.

Master Lin prepared a pre-ordered copper plate for each person. There were about a thousand coins per person, and they were stacked into several small "hillsides" in front of each person's square table.

Most of the people who came to run for the election were sons from wealthy families, some were locals from Luotuo Town, and some came from all over the world. After hearing that the topic was opened, some families were happy and some were sad. The businessmen who deal with money and money, and the worrying ones are the slutty young men who idle around all day long, judging from their appearance and guessing that they don't even know how to use the abacus and account books on the table.

Mr. Lin's question is very good. Firstly, this round is to eliminate those useless prodigal sons, so that after being recruited into the Lin family, they will spend all day drinking flowers, gambling, and ruining the family's wealth. I wronged my daughter, Lin Jiayu; secondly, the Lin family is a merchant's family, if you can't even do the work that ordinary shopkeepers or even clerks can do, how can you take charge of the Lin family after Master Lin's death; Obviously, it's just that Hu Ansheng is expected to be unable to do the "caressing" of his businessman's family, and wants to cut off his daughter's thoughts early.

However, to Master Lin's surprise, Hu Ansheng was the fastest person to count the number of copper coins in the first round, even half a cup of tea faster than Chen Xiaobaa who followed closely behind!

Master Lin, who has been a businessman for most of his life, and Lin Daoyuan, who is also Lin Jiayu's father, immediately wakes up. He understands the key point but is helpless. Informed my sweetheart.

This is not a fair game. As expected in the second round, Hu Ansheng still won the first prize, but in the third round, the scholar won the first prize, but was almost eliminated. What happened was extremely strange——Na Hu An Sheng reported the correct answer as always, but Master Lin nodded, but Chen Xiaobaa, who had just counted the silver coins, raised an objection, insisting that the amount of copper coins reported by Hu Ansheng was not accurate.

Master Lin was quite surprised. He saw a hint of cunning in Chen Xiaobaa's eyes, so he calmly sent his servants to count again, and the result was exactly as Chen Xiaobaa said—this was so frightening. With a calm face, Hu Ansheng had no choice but to go back to the examination table with his wallet in his arms and count again. It was an amateur who counted one by one, but he plummeted to the last place, and the final count made Hu Ansheng even more desperate. Vomiting blood, the pile of copper coins somehow lost one piece!But it was just a copper coin. If there were not many young masters like Hu Ansheng who were not good at managing money, if he hadn't got the first two rounds, Hu Ansheng would have been eliminated!

Lu Weizhi and Wang Peng, who had long been displeased with Hu Ansheng, were very happy. Lin Daoyuan, who was sitting in the examination room, saw the tricks in it, and couldn't help but doubled his affection for the very clever Chen Xiaobaa, and he won Kuier's position early. Chen Xiaobaa, just like the first time she entered the Lin Mansion, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and swaggered away from the examination room under the eyes of everyone's envy and hatred.

Going to the inn of the fat boss to find Xue Liuer was nothing special, and it was just a coincidence to see a ghostly thief on the street corner who was about to steal. It was an extreme surprise.

From then on, Chen Xiaobaa seemed to have her soul taken away, and she stood there dumbfounded. If Xue Liuer hadn't come to drag her into the inn, she would have been taken away with the flow of people on the street.

The time coincided with noon, and the two entered the inn to order some food. The big monk and the little "idiots", who were probably cheating and begging, also shamelessly followed behind them and sat down together carelessly.

Holding a broom and already out of breath, the waiter was so angry that she wanted to chase her away, but the kind-hearted Xue Liuer took some silver from the package and asked the waiter to turn a blind eye and add another pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Since it was Xue Liuer's request and a reward of silver taels, the waiter had no choice but to curse and take it away, staring at the little "idiot" and whispering to himself: "You are lucky to meet a female Bodhisattva, otherwise I will break your legs."

The sloppy boy named Xiao Zhu'er giggled, and said mercilessly: "I don't know that just now that unworthy descendant made such a great skill that he couldn't even blow a fart."

The shop waiter left angrily, the chief monk folded his hands together and flattered Xue Liuer: "A benefactor is rewarded with kindness, it doesn't matter if there are fewer vegetables and food, just order more meat for the poor monk."

Xue Liuer was full of surprise, and asked, "Isn't it true that monks can't eat meat?" The great monk seemed to have answered this question a thousand times, and it was the fallacy that "meat and wine pass through the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention to it", and he misinterpreted dozens of Buddhist scriptures by citing scriptures. , until Xue Liuer, who is simple in nature, was dizzy, and paid more than two dollars for a pot of beef.

The food was served, the great monk Xiao Zhu'er really didn't know how long he hadn't eaten, so he picked up the chopsticks and started to gobble it up, Xue Liu'er was so fierce that Xue Liu'er didn't dare to compete with the two of them for food, and Chen Xiaobaa, who was still in a daze, was even more so. Even their jobs were taken away by the two of them.

Satisfied with wine and food, the table was in a mess, and the monk Qi'er was quite satisfied belching, while Xue Liu'er was protecting the rice bowl with one hand, while stealing eyes to see Chen Xiaobaa's strange appearance of frowning and smirking at times.

Little Zhu'er rested one foot on the big monk's lap irregularly, poked the monk's lower abdomen with his elbow, pouted at Chen Xiaobaa and asked, "Hey, big monk, is this benefactor bewitched by an evil spirit? Since she has been favored by others, let's do a good deed and do a small ritual to get rid of her demons."

The great monk covered his mouth and snickered: "Hehe, it looks like the benefactor Chen is a love gu. It's easy for the poor monk to exorcise other little ghosts and demons, but the word 'love' really can't do anything."

Little Zhu'er bit a chopstick as a toothpick, and squeezed out contemptuous words from between her teeth: "Then you can't do nothing, what is the decree of your monks? Oh, I almost forgot, you wine and meat monk? You can still be regarded as a monk? After cultivating a Buddha for most of your life, you are farther and farther away from the Great Buddha of the West, right?"

The great monk hit Xiao Zhu'er on the head with a hammer, and said angrily: "Who says I'm not a monk? You think I can't see that you are a violent method? It's done! Poor monk, let's try it and see if it can call back the soul of Benefactor Chen .”

The monk breathes out his breath, his behavior seems simple and ordinary, but his breath is surprisingly long. This posture of accumulating strength is like the precursor of a Buddhist lion's roar, but at the end he whispered carefully in Chen Xiaobaa's ear: "Bai Xian Dust?"——Although the words were soft, Chen Xiaobaa's eyes immediately glowed with a scorching look, and he slammed the table to stand up, staring at the bald monk in front of him and eagerly asked: "Where is she?"

The diners in the store cast strange glances at Chen Xiaobaa who was standing up against the desk, Xue Liu'er blushed and pulled Chen Xiaobaa back to her seat, while the smiling monk touched his bald head and shrugged and replied, "The girl is naturally in Beihan. "

Chen Xiaobaa was like a discouraged ball immediately, lowered her head and said to herself in frustration: "That's right... that's right... That person is clearly a man, how could I think it was her? It's just that they have a similar figure, how can I get this as confused..."

When she came back to her senses, Chen Xiaobaa hurriedly clasped her fists to the monk in front of her and thanked the monk: "Master, it's because I've been awake all night and my mind is confused—may I ask how Master knows...knows the name of 'that person'?"

Xiao Zhu'er interjected: "Nonsense, there are people in the two worlds who don't know the name of the troublemaker? It's just that Bai Xianchen has taken a big blame in this life. Others regard her as the plague god and dare not call her by her name directly."

Chen Xiaobaa was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What is the second world? Forgive Chen Xiaobaa for being clumsy, I don't understand what the little brother said."

Xiao Zhu'er waved her hand and said: "Don't, don't, don't, what about 'little brother' and 'big brother', the master and Xiao Kui'er both call me 'Little Zhuer', so you can call me that, the monk next to me I don’t know if you guys have heard of his name, his nickname is 'Xuan Sheng', he was a well-known figure in the Jianghu decades ago, tsk tsk, but who would have thought that seeing a hundred things is better than seeing it, but he is an idiot Chess masters love rascals who regret chess."

The big monk blushed and hit Xiao Zhu'er on the head with a hammer, and then said "Amitabha", and said to Chen Xiaobai: "The benefactor sometimes dreams, does he dream that the world is suffering, and there are many corpses walking in the field?" □□, a terrifying monster surrounded by black air?"

Chen Xiaobaa said in surprise, "Exactly!"

The great monk asked again: "Do you still dream of a white-haired woman walking northward with a sword, slaughtering a group of terrifying beasts with one enemy and one hundred, just like a god descending into the world?"

Chen Xiaobaa nodded again and again, and Monk Xuansheng said: "Amitabha, that dream is true if it is said to be real, and it is also false if it is said to be false. After all, it is already a matter of the previous life. In Buddhism, there are causes and effects. There are past lives and future lives. There is reincarnation hell and western bliss. I have never seen it with my own eyes, and I can say it is true or false, but I vaguely remember that the woman’s journey northward is no longer a story in the current world. How can there be life-eating ghosts from hell in this world now? Tell that person to go back to hell."

Chen Xiaobaa focused on her expression, bit her lips and said, "'That person'... That female fairy looks like Bai Xianchen, but Bai Xianchen doesn't have that kind of ability... Bai Xianchen is just an ordinary person. But the woman..."

Xiao Zhu'er rolled her eyes and said: "Ping you big-headed ghost, although I don't want to see that white-clothed woman, I still admire her immortal realm that has never been seen before, and probably never will be seen since. The white hair on your head is from Wudang Mountain. In order to save your life, Bai Xianchen used his past life cultivation to save you from death. Otherwise, your life would have come to an end as early as in Wudang Mountain. How could you live to this day? Sigh, it’s really good luck, you Chen Little Baa, does he know how much he can do with the cultivation base of Bai Xianchen at this time? Not to mention thousands of cavalry, even if the Xie Wang Sect and all the masters of the king come together, they can easily dismiss them. For me, his grandma's, I'm sure..."

Before Xiao Zhu'er could finish speaking, Monk Xuansheng said, "You must have been killed by Liu Hongyan long ago—goodness and goodness, it's true that Master Chen didn't practice martial arts, and according to Liu Hongyan's strange thoughts, I'm afraid it's already been predicted. You will use Bai Xianchen's cultivation to practice martial arts and become immortal. According to the poor monk, the woman in red with a heart like a snake and a scorpion will not stop you, but will even help you. Water——Others thought that the landlord in red who claimed to be "knowledgeable in the world of martial arts" was just a vain name. It's unimaginably terrifying—even if it's not what the poor monk thinks, under Liu Hongyan's nose, Chen benefactor only needs to start practicing martial arts, and he will surely die. Fortunately, Chen benefactor is born with wisdom, and he can hold his breath until the day he escapes from Sucheng , if it were someone beside me, he would have died no less than seven or eight times already."

Xiao Zhu'er's face was full of displeasure, but after thinking about it, she seemed to think that what Xuan Sheng said was reasonable, so she nodded without refuting.

Chen Xiaobaa scratched her scalp and said shyly, "Why don't you talk about wisdom, it's just cowardice."

Monk Xuansheng said with a smile: "In the last life, Bai Xianchen went northward to slaughter ghosts. It is admirable to carry the way of heaven that no one dared to carry alone. She finally exhausted her cultivation to change the cause and effect of the world, and she gave birth to this I don't remember the ideal world of her great achievements, and it's even more lamentable——Chen benefactor went to Beihan to find Bai Xianchen in this life? Could it be that he has fallen in love with the very feminine White Hero?"

Chen Xiaobaa laughs and plays around on weekdays, but when it comes to the person named "Bai Xianchen", her mind goes blank, she just nods blankly and blushes.

Xue Liu'er buried her head in eating her rice, while Xiao Zhu'er punched Xuan Sheng's chest without waiting for Chen Xiaobaa's answer, stared at Chen Xiaobaa and said, "Although I don't like Bai Xianchen, you, Chen Xiaobaa, are just a mortal. How can you be worthy of that woman in white? Xuan Sheng, an unscrupulous monk, always likes to talk nonsense. Believe it or not, I will file a complaint in front of the master and make you a wine and meat monk who can't eat and walk around?!"

Monk Xuansheng wanted to punch back cautiously, but when he heard Xiao Zhuer's threat, he panicked and flattered him for a while, because he was disrespectful, he began to squeeze Xiao Zhuer's slender leg resting on his thigh, shamelessly Impatiently ingratiating, he asked, "Is this strength comfortable, sir?"

Chen Xiaobaa lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, she had her usual playful smile again: "Xiao Zhuer's words are too far-fetched, how could I have any unreasonable thoughts about Bai Xianchen? That woman originally liked Liu Hongyan, now in the Sword God Pavilion, Yuemo and Sword God Lord have become a pair—compared to these two gods, what am I? How can I compare with those two women in appearance and martial arts? Bai Xianchen How can you be so short-sighted and look at me, a country bumpkin?"

"I was supposed to die that day. It was Bai Xianchen who saved me. The story of the hero saving the beauty is very good, but we are both women. No matter how hungry I am, how can I fall in love with Bai Xianchen?" ? I have sworn to Liu Hongyan long ago that I will never fall in love with that woman in this life. This is a way to save my life at first, but how can we love each other when we are both women? I clearly earned this vow."

"It's true that I want to go to Beihan to find Bai Xianchen, but I just want to see how she is doing in Beihan now, and I want to tell her in front of her that I didn't dare to say it when we parted in Wudang. Those two words that were exported."
