Chapter 4 Xu Changsheng's Secret

When the town first came to life in the early morning, there was already a young man running through the streets.

However, the weather today was not very good. It rained heavily at any time. Xu Changsheng didn't expect it when he went out, so he could only take off the coarse clothes outside, hold on with one hand and protect the tofu with the other, and run all the way.

The last one was shopkeeper Qian of the wine shop. Seeing that Xu Changsheng was soaked like a drowned rat, he asked him to stay and dry his clothes before leaving. But Xu Changsheng had to rush to class, so he threw his clothes over and rushed into the rain again.

However, when Xu Changsheng arrived at his usual place, it was still a little later than usual. The class had already started, and Xu Changsheng could only adjust his condition quickly.

But at a glance, it seemed that Gu Lingqing didn't come to class. Could it be that he was too embarrassed to come to class because of what happened yesterday afternoon?

Xu Changsheng was too lazy to think too much. He leaned gently against the window and watched Mr. Lu sitting on it, explaining an article about a saint. But after a few words, he squinted his mouse eyes and rolled up the book on the table.

There was a lot of beating and swearing.

Xu Changsheng has long been used to it. After all, Mr. Lu has always looked like this.

"Okay, Xu Changsheng, you are actually hiding here and secretly stealing our class!" A cry of surprise sounded behind Xu Changsheng.

The students sitting in the classroom also heard the exclamation. Looking back, they saw Xu Changsheng's pale face through a small window.

Xu Changsheng was also stunned. He looked back stiffly and saw that it was Gu Lingqing. His face was full of disbelief at this moment, but Xu Changsheng clearly saw that it was ridicule, endless ridicule. Looking back again, he found that he was sitting in the school.

Most of the students were laughing, with ridicule of Xu Changsheng written all over their faces.

It seems to be saying that this poor guy who can't even pay the tuition actually comes to school and has the nerve to secretly hide outside the window to listen to the class.

Xu Changsheng felt as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back. He couldn't bear it any longer. He rushed into the rain like crazy and ran wildly. It seemed that he could still hear Gu Lingqing's laughter in his ears, mocking him.

Xu Changsheng ran faster. He promised that this was the fastest he had ever run in his life, but it was not fast enough. At this moment, he just wanted to fly home immediately and bury his head in the quilt so that no one could see him.

I am alone, my eyes are also dark, and I no longer need to see this complicated world.

It didn't take long for Xu Changsheng to rush back to Weichen Lane. Aunt He was very surprised when she saw Xu Changsheng running wildly. She came out of the door and shouted, asking Xu Changsheng what happened, but Xu Changsheng didn't want to pay attention to anyone at this time and just wanted to go back quickly.

Go to the room.

With a "bang", Xu Changsheng opened the courtyard door, rushed into the room with rainwater all over his body and soaked clothes, lifted up the quilt, and buried his head in, but it looked more like the one who had crawled into the wall.

into a crack so no one can really see it.

At this time, Xu Changsheng's mind was in chaos. It seemed that his mind was filled with the mocking expressions of Gu Lingqing and the students. They were all pointing at Xu Changsheng, laughing very crazily. Xu Changsheng's temples were also bulging at this time. He

I've never felt so uncomfortable.

In the quiet quilt, Xu Changsheng could hear his own heartbeat. It was beating very fast and loud, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. What Xu Changsheng didn't feel was that his body was outside the quilt at this time.

He was also shaking non-stop, shaking like a sieve.



At this time, in the market, a thin, middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a shabby Taoist robe, a mustache at the corner of his mouth, and a Five Sacred Crown on his head was leaning under a tree to hide from the rain and was also drowsy.

Liang Mi couldn't help but poke him with her finger. She started laughing and chatting, and immediately woke up. She looked around, thinking that there was business coming to her door, but she found that there was nothing and it was still raining heavily.

Even this big tree could no longer hide. The Taoist robe on his body was wet in many places. Tanxiao turned around and glared at Liang Mi.

Liang Mi said in a low voice: "Talk and laugh, it's not like there has been no business all morning, right? What should we have for lunch today?"

"Won't

Yes, even if it rains heavily, someone will definitely go out, don't worry." Tanxiao said as if the old god was there.

Suddenly Tanxiao's eyes lit up, "Isn't it coming from the front?"

Tanxiao cleared her throat and greeted Aunt Li who was walking towards her. "Hey, Aunt Li is here to do some fortune telling. A poor person knows how to calculate fortune for five thousand years and five hundred years for fortune. I can calculate fortune, career, and marriage. I don't know."

What do you want to calculate? Besides, if it rains today, I’ll give you half price, it’s only a penny…”

When Liang Mi heard this, she immediately pinched Tan Xiao's thigh.

Tanxiao immediately came to his senses and changed his words: "As long as two cents, two cents is enough."

Aunt Li looked at the conversation and laughter with a suspicious look on her face, but she thought that it had been raining heavily this morning, and the two of them must not have earned a few pennies, and they might not even have lunch yet. So she came over, and at worst, I would give them two cents.

If you give them money, it should be a good relationship.

There was no place to sit, so Aunt Li stood in front of Tanxiao holding an umbrella, and said with a smile: "Then help me calculate my fate."

Aunt Li thought that Lao Qian's behavior seemed a bit strange in the past few days. Could it be that he had found a vixen outside? But his daily expenses were all in his own hands, so he probably didn't have much money to go out.

Tanxiao responded. When it was time to tell fortunes, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He no longer had a smile on his face, but a serious expression. He took out three copper coins from his arms and lined them up in his right hand. Then he went to

When he tossed it in the air, the copper coin flipped in the air, and he held the hand with his left hand and moved it quickly.

Liang Mi felt that Tan Xiao looked very arrogant now. If he learned this skill, he would be able to brag in front of Xu Changsheng for several days. Liang Mi also begged Tan Xiao several times to let him teach her this skill. But every time

At this time, they were talking and joking about accepting Liang Mi as an apprentice. This is a housekeeping skill, and non-apprentices will not be taught.

Liang Mi always felt that his eyes were shining when he joked about accepting him as his apprentice. If he really became his apprentice, he would not go out to tell fortunes to make money, but would force himself to tell fortunes every day to support him. Then

Wouldn't he have suffered a big loss? Maybe he wouldn't even have time to go out to patrol the territory. As for tricking him into becoming an apprentice, learning skills, and then turning his back and denying him, Liang Mi would never dare to think about it.

If Xu Changsheng found out, he would have to break his legs.

After finishing the hand gesture with his left hand, the three copper coins fell back to his right hand and were lined up in a row. Tanxiao looked at the copper coins in his hand, raised his head and gave Aunt Li a strange look, turned around, took out a pen and paper, and wrote on the paper

He wrote a word and handed it to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li also spread out the paper with a suspicious look on her face and found that the word "San" was written on it.

I couldn't help but grab the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it back to Tanxiao. He yelled, "You are such an old man who has suffered from the plague. How have I ever seen you curse like this? I see you as pitiful, so I wanted to give you two coins."

"Money, I didn't expect you to be ungrateful. Instead, you cursed me. You deserve to be hungry, no, you deserve to starve to death!" After saying that, he didn't want to keep it for a moment. He picked up the vegetables on the ground and walked back angrily.

Tanxiao wiped his face, not sure if it was the rain or Aunt Li's saliva, but his face looked full of vicissitudes of life.

Liang Mi looked at Tanxiao with disdain. Tanxiao was a little embarrassed. Finally, a business came to her, but she was actually cheated on him.

It seems that I will be hungry again at noon today, but I still think I can go to Fulu Street to try my luck. Most of the wealthy families live there. After some discussion, we decided to take advantage of the rain to subside.

Click here and go quickly.

The two of them found a place to hide from the rain next to Li's house, opened the stall and waited for business to come.

It didn't take long before I saw Li Mingyue, the eldest daughter of the Li family, walking back from outside holding a green dotted oil-paper umbrella. She was wearing a blue green smoked sweater, a water mist green grass pleated skirt, and a light blue

The green water is thin and veiled, the shoulders are shaved, the waist is slender and the steps are slight, the appearance is also excellent.

No wonder there were so many people who came to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by the master of the Li family.

Talk and laugh immediately

Shouting, Li Mingyue hesitated for a moment and then walked over. Liang Mi lowered his head. He was not interested in such a young lady who looked like a wooden board. What he liked was Li Ruan, who was interesting, especially

When Li Ruan lowered his head to get the tofu.

After chatting and laughing, the mustache on her mouth twitched, and she said: "I wonder what Miss Li counts today? Luck, career or marriage? I think it should be marriage. Looking at Miss Li's rosy face, could it be that she has met her sweetheart?

Yes? Then let’s do it. Today’s hexagram is half price for Miss Li, only two cents is enough.”

Li Mingyue thought for a while, then opened her red lips and said, "Then consider it marriage."

This time Tanxiao was not so fancy and asked Li Mingyue to pull out a bamboo stick from the tube. Tanxiao took a look at it, then pulled out a piece of talisman paper from the package he carried with him and handed it to Li Mingyue with a smile on his face.

Li Mingyue took a look at the talisman paper, her face changed drastically, she pinched the talisman paper into a ball, threw it back to the chatter, turned around and left with a cold face.

While talking and laughing, I was a little stunned. The plot didn't seem to be like this. Shouldn't Li Mingyue give herself two pennies with a happy face, and maybe even give herself a few more pennies on a whim? How could this happen?

Liang Mi looked up at Tanxiao, picked up the talisman paper from the ground and spread it out, only to see what was written on it.

Eighteen-year-old bride and eighty-year-old man, with pale hair and red makeup.

The mandarin ducks sleep in pairs at night, and a pear tree presses the begonia.

Liang Mi glanced at Tanxiao angrily, "I'm telling you, Laotan, can you really make money?"

"Didn't I get nervous and draw the wrong one? I was originally given a draw to sign for her, but I didn't expect to draw this one out." Tan Xiao was also a little depressed.

Liang Mi stood up, patted her butt, and said helplessly: "I'd better see what Xu Changsheng has to eat. I'll starve to death sooner or later if I follow you."



In the Sun Mansion not far away, Sun Qiao and Wu Weihu were also discussing something in the room.

Suddenly Sun Yuexuan pushed the door open, pointed at the two of them and said, "Okay, you two actually want to run out and fight again. I have to tell my father and Uncle Wu this time."

Sun Qiao and Wu Weihu obviously didn't expect that Sun Yuexuan would eavesdrop at the door and hear that they were planning to beat Li Handong secretly.

Wu Weihu was nervous for a while, at a loss, and quickly denied: "No, Yuexuan, you heard it wrong. We were all joking, how could we really go out and fight again."

Sun Yuexuan looked at Wu Weihu with contempt. This was what she disliked most about Wu Weihu. He was obviously tall and thick, but he was so timid and did not dare to admit anything.

On the contrary, Sun Qiao didn't. Sun Qiao took out a few taels of silver from his arms, handed it to Sun Yuexuan, and said: "Good sister, you can't tell dad this time. If you tell him, I won't have any pocket money. I won't have any pocket money."

I won’t have enough money to buy you food.”

Sun Yuexuan tilted her head and thought for a while, it seemed to make sense.

So he gave Wu Weihu a rollicking look and skipped away.

The remaining Sun Qiao and Wu Weihu looked at each other. The news was leaked. They had no choice but to cancel this time. Next time, they must find a place where no one is around to discuss.



Xu Changsheng never dared to take his head out of the quilt, even though his heart was not beating so fast and his stomach was not growling loudly.

Moreover, I seemed to vaguely hear Su Sheng and Liang Mi knocking on the door. Aunt He also called several times. I also heard Gao Jianzhi shouting Xu Changsheng's name loudly next door. He must be mocking himself, so he didn't dare to

If you go out, you'd better wait until it gets dark at night before going out.

It wasn't until dark that Xu Changsheng went to the kitchen to get something to eat. Aunt He at the door of the house didn't feel relieved until she saw the fire in Xu Changsheng's house. She also heard about Xu Changsheng today and knew that this boy was shameless.
