Chapter 1425: Elegant and Graceful, Extraordinary Bearing
The old fox has lived for thousands of years and is naturally very knowledgeable. He communicated with Jiang Hao and occasionally told some profound knowledge. Jiang Hao was able to handle it with ease, which surprised the old fox. He did not expect that this poor scholar could be so talented.
What is rare is that Scholar Jiang is elegant and elegant, but does not have a trace of arrogance, which is extremely valuable.
Hu Yuanwai had another drink with Jiang Hao. After putting down the glass, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I have nothing to do on weekdays. I have read some strange and strange records. Many of them record that monsters have transformed into humans, and mountain and stone spirits have transformed into monsters." Woe, I wonder what Mr. Jiang thinks of monsters?"
After listening to Hu Yuanwai's words, Jiang Hao knew that this was the old fox trying to trick him. If he hated monsters deeply, there would be no need to continue dating, and he might even fall out with him.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Hao said: "The Tao Te Ching says: The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as rudderless dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as rudderless dogs."
"The way of heaven never acts on emotion, and treats all things like grass dogs. There is no distinction between high and low, nobility and inferiority. They are all equal and selfless. The saint does not act on emotion and treats the common people equally."
"Jiang believes that people have good and evil, and demons can be divided into good and bad, whether they are humans or demons. Even if the spirits of mountains, rocks, flowers, plants, and trees become spirits, they are all forms of life. All things have animism. There is no distinction between high and low, regardless of one's origin. Look only at good and evil.”
"Those who do good will ascend to immortality, and those who do harm will have their souls destroyed and restore peace to this world."
Jiang Hao's remarks made the old fox feel comfortable. The smile on his face grew stronger and he stroked his beard unconsciously.
Ordinary people are either afraid of monsters or hate them as enemies. Scholars will throw out the sentence "I don't talk about monsters, power, chaos, and gods" and "respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them." As for those monks and Taoists , most of them fight and kill monsters, without distinguishing between good and bad, they just want to deal with them quickly, and they are never merciless in killing monsters.
In short, there are very few people in the world who have a good attitude towards fairies and ghosts.
It is absolutely rare for Jiang Hao to say that monsters have spirits and all things are equal.
Miss Hu, who was sitting next to him, looked up at the scholar after listening to Jiang Hao's words, with more sparkle in her eyes.
Her previous evaluation of Jiang Hao was that he was knowledgeable, elegant, elegant, and handsome.
Now there is one more thing, not to be pedantic.
At this moment, the chief butler Hu Quan walked in from outside and said respectfully: "I have seen you, sir. Miss Jiang, I have brought Mr. Jiang's IOU."
"Give it back to Master Jiang." Hu Yuanwai nodded.
Hu Quan gave Jiang Hao the IOU and a banknote salary, "Mr. Jiang, this is your IOU, and there is also a banknote to return you. Sixty taels will be deducted, leaving forty taels."
Jiang Hao took the IOU and the banknote, looked at them, stuffed them into his sleeves, stood up and handed over to Mr. Hu and Ms. Hu, "The matter is over, Jiang will say goodbye. Today I can see Mr. Hu and Ms. Hu for the third time." Fortunately, we will meet again someday.”
Without any hesitation, Jiang Hao stood up and left.
The Hu family's father and daughter did not see him off until they arrived at the hall door. They watched Jiang Hao walk out of the door and leave. The father and daughter stood still, each with their own thoughts. Hu Quan stood beside him and was a little surprised. He looked at his master and what he had left. Miss, I don’t know why I’m in a daze.
"I didn't expect that this son has such a pure heart. My daughter is unmoved by her beauty and beauty. It is really rare and precious in the world. Is this the temperament of noble people?" Hu Yuanwai said.
After some exchanges, Hu Yuanwai expressed a lot of admiration for Jiang Hao, although he still had a calculating heart.
When Hu Quan next to him heard this, he was shocked. What do you mean? Could it be that the master has taken a liking to Mr. Jiang and wants to find a husband for the young lady?
Before, Miss Hu had resisted her father seeking shelter for her from a noble person, but after seeing Jiang Hao's good looks and talent, she felt that she would not be reluctant to take shelter under such a noble person.
"But Mr. Jiang may not necessarily like his daughter." When Miss Hu said this, there was even a hint of resentment in her tone.
A beautiful woman with natural beauty was ignored by a man, which made everyone feel a little unhappy.
Hu Yuanwai pondered for a moment and said: "There is still some time before you can survive the disaster. Let's find a way."
Next to him, Hu Quan's eyes widened and he was shocked. Is there any connection between Scholar Jiang and Miss Seventh's tribulation? A thought suddenly arose in his mind. He wanted to protect a noble person from the tribulation. Could it be that Mr. Jiang is a noble person? This is amazing.
"Dad, I'm going back to my room to practice." Miss Hu bowed her knees and resigned.
Hu Yuanwai nodded and watched his daughter leave. He thought to himself that it was strange why Scholar Jiang was not attracted by his daughter with such a peerless appearance.
Could it be that Scholar Jiang is a manly man?
Masculinity was very popular in the dynasty, and it can be said that the emperor was very masculine, sleeping with his concubines only three or four days a month, and spending the rest of the days having fun with the eunuchs. No wonder the royal heir was so difficult to give birth to.
Later, the scholar-bureaucrats, officials, gentry and wealthy households took this as a trend and gradually became a custom. From a secret hobby to an overt hobby, playing with children and prostitutes became one of the pastimes of the scholar-officials and common people.
In the capital and some prosperous cities, there are even male prostitute houses. The men's court has a plaque reading "Changchun Courtyard", and the female prostitutes call it "Nevernight Palace", which is taken from Su Dongpo's poem "The wind and flowers compete into the Changchun Courtyard, and the lights and candles shine in the city that never sleeps." ’
Beautiful prostitutes compete with each other to show off their beauty, and they compete with each other to show off their wealth and attract customers.
Hu Yuanwai felt that he should send someone to observe Scholar Jiang carefully to see if he had this problem. If so, it would harm his daughter.
"Hu Quan." Hu Yuanwai called out.
Hu Quan hurried forward and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Send someone to inquire in detail about Mr. Jiang's family situation, his daily life, preferences, including whether he is a good man. The more detailed the better."
Hu Quan thought to himself, this is the master's intention to examine the son-in-law's family background and character.
"Let's do it now, little one."
"Hmm~~ Also, inform us about the Hu family's business. If you see Mr. Jiang in the future, don't hate him. If he hates the Hu family, it will not be beautiful." Hu Yuan said.
"Young man, just give the order."
After Hu Yuanwai finished speaking, he went back to his small courtyard to continue practicing. Butler Hu called a few people and rode to the county seat.
While on the way, Butler Hu still thought that the master was definitely attracted to Scholar Jiang, and judging from the young lady's behavior, she didn't seem to object.
Thinking that Jiang Shu had grown up to be a talented person, he thought that that guy was really lucky. His young lady was unparalleled in beauty and accomplished in cultivation, which really gave him an advantage. However, it seemed that he had vaguely heard about the young lady's tribulation, so Jiang The scholar Xu is a lady and a noble person, so this is correct.
Regardless of whether the scholar was born with a noble life or was lucky, after all, the master told him that he could not neglect it in the slightest.
When they arrived in the city, they immediately summoned dozens of shopkeepers and held a meeting at the Hu family's house. In the evening, there was a crowd of twenty or thirty people in the courtyard. Hu Quan walked out of the hall and stood on the steps. The people below immediately He lowered his voice and stood in respect, looking up at the butler Hu Quan.
Hu Quan's little eyes were quite majestic. After scanning around, he said: "What I said today is an order given by the master himself. You can't pass it on at will, and there is no need to speculate. Just listen and do it."
When everyone heard that it was the order from the boss, they immediately cheered up and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.
Hu Quan spoke, and his voice spread throughout the courtyard, "Young Master Jiang Haojiang of Qingxi Town, Lanxi County, will be a distinguished guest of Hu Ji's shop in the future. No matter where you go, you must serve him well and not show any slights. If Mr. Jiang is annoyed, Come on, the Hu family, you guys, it’s easy to be dismissed from office, but listen carefully!”
When people heard this order, their first reaction was, who is this Mr. Jiang Haojiang? He actually asked the great master to issue such an order.
Has there been any big shot in Qingxi Town?
Although there were many doubts in their hearts, no one dared to show any slightness. They all bowed and responded, and deeply remembered Jiang Hao's name.
Hu Quan nodded and continued: "As for the Hu family's shops in other counties and Jinhua Mansion, I will inform you via flying pigeons that Mr. Jiang is now in Lanxi. You should keep this in mind and never leave if you encounter anything." What a mistake."
"I'll understand." The shopkeepers responded again.
Jiang Hao returned home, leaned on the recliner, stared at the mountains in the distance in a daze, and thought about the circumstances surrounding his meeting with the old fox today.
First of all, I can be sure that the old fox's cultivation is stronger than mine, and his spiritual power is solid and not scattered. I can never do that.
And there is Miss Hu, who is so beautiful, with picturesque features, which reminds Jiang Hao of a poem, "When the fish falls and the wild geese fall, the birds are noisy, and the moon is shy and the flowers are trembling with sadness."
Ahem,
This is not the point. The point is that he feels that Miss Hu's cultivation level is not low, probably only a little worse than him.
The great butler Hu Quan was also transformed into a fox demon, but his cultivation level was much lower.
At the same time, he also smelled the scent of other foxes in the Hu family, far more than the Hu Yuanwai, Miss Hu and Hu Quan he saw. They must be from the same family.
What Jiang Hao was thinking about was why the old fox was so enthusiastic about him. He was just selling charms to pay off his debts, and his identity was just an ordinary person. Normally, there was no need for the following things to be completed for the transaction to be completed.
Think about it in detail and replay the scene in your mind.
When he entered the door, the old fox looked surprised when he saw him. From that moment on, the old fox's attitude became very subtle.
At that time, I thought that my cultivation had been seen through, but later I thought about it, but it was not true, but I am sure that the old fox must have seen something, and it was very important to him.
Hu Shang left in the middle. Jiang Hao guessed that he should go and talk to his daughter about his affairs. Otherwise, according to ancient etiquette, there is absolutely no need for a woman who has not left the court to accompany guests. She can eat in the show room. The old fox asked his daughter to come out. , just for yourself.
I want to indulge myself in female sex, hehe, but I don’t know that I have been in the flowers for a long time, and I have already developed an unfazed mind and a body of diamond and iron. Even though Hu Xinyue is as beautiful as a fairy, she can’t let herself lose her composure.
After that, he dealt with it skillfully and used his superb acting skills. He probably deceived the father and daughter quite a lot.
What do you see in yourself?
The jade tree is facing the wind, with extraordinary tools, heroic appearance, radiant spirit, dragon walking and tiger steps, talented in the world, tall and powerful, invincible to ten thousand people.
Well, it's possible.
In short, the old fox definitely has some ideas about him and he has to guard against him.
