Chapter 1424: A Gentleman
"Based on my many years of experience, luck can be divided into purple, gold, silver, white, gray, and black. Ordinary people only have white luck. Those with poor luck have gray. People who are about to die have black luck. Those with silver luck will have this. People will be rich and have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives. With golden luck, they will be rich and powerful, and they will be able to protect one side or become rich. As for purple luck, only the royal family has it, and it will only appear on the emperor and the prince. "Hu Yuan. Heretic.
Miss Hu was very surprised, "Dad, did you see it wrong? How could an ordinary scholar have purple-gold luck?"
"It's absolutely true. My father has read it several times and confirmed it again and again. Ever since my father obtained the magical power of the Fox Eye Technique, he has never misjudged it, and he won't do it this time. That scholar does have purple gold luck. "Jia Shen."
Hu was not only surprised to find such a gifted person among the general public, but also felt excited about discovering beautiful jade and precious stones among the stubborn rocks.
"Actually, being a father also feels the difference. I can make a random guess that the scholar may be the illegitimate son of the old emperor of the previous generation. The younger brother of the current emperor is also unknown. Maybe he will be destined to be an emperor in the future."
This old fox really knows how to make connections. In this way, Jiang Hao was given the title of a royal illegitimate son.
Miss Hu was thoughtful and immediately guessed the meaning of her father's words. She looked at her father with a pair of bright eyes, "Dad, what do you want to say to your daughter?"
Hu Yuanwai knew that his little Qi Hui Lanxin should have guessed what he was thinking at this moment. He looked at his daughter with a kind face and said: "If my daughter can be protected by this son, she will probably survive this five hundred years of catastrophe." Increase."
After listening to her father's words, Miss Hu frowned slightly, "Father, even if he is blessed with great fortune, he is only a mortal after all. How can he survive under the thunder of heaven? There is no difference between entrusting others to protect us and killing others."
When the catastrophe comes, the thunder from the sky is terrible. Hu Xinyue has seen it several times. Her mother and sister were all killed by the thunder. Miss Hu is kind-hearted and does not want to scheme against others in this way, thus killing the scholar in vain.
Hu Yuanwai had a sad look on his face and sighed: "I am the leader of the Red Fox clan. Now you also know the situation of my Red Fox clan. I have been suppressing my realm just to wait for you to survive the disaster. If you can survive the great disaster, This calamity can be regarded as leaving a leader for my Red Fox clan to survive the thousand-year calamity for my father. Even if I die, I will be willing to do so."
"I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that after we die, the hundreds of people in the Red Fox clan will no longer be able to protect us, and our fate will be a hundred times more miserable than it is now. Hey~~~."
The last sigh had a trembling sound in his voice, which was full of sadness.
A sad look flashed in Miss Hu's eyes. She also knew that she had a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She had been practicing hard before and did not dare to slack off, just to have a chance to survive the thunderstorm.
His father asked him to seek refuge with a noble person for his own good and for the good of the Red Fox clan. However, it might cost that person's life.
Seeing his daughter's hesitation, Hu Yuanwai thought that it was enough, and stood up and said: "Daughter, don't worry too much. A noble person has God's protection, and it may not be able to harm his life. If it really doesn't work, push him away. We just have to deal with it ourselves.”
"I'm going to invite Young Master Jiang to have lunch later. You dress up a little and come here. My daughter is a beauty. I believe that Young Master Jiang will be obsessed with her if she sees her."
Hu Yuanwai walked down from the show building and out of the small courtyard. He turned back and glanced at the window of the show building and murmured: "Daughter, don't blame your father for plotting. He is doing this for your own good and for the good of my Red Fox clan."
Turning his head, Hu Yuanwai immediately put on a proud look on his face.
It is extremely rare to find such a man of great destiny among the people. When he really becomes his son-in-law, treat him kindly and sincerely. If he can really help his daughter survive the five-hundred-year catastrophe, wait until he can survive the thousand-year catastrophe. When the time came, it was hard to avoid asking him for help.
Hu Yuanwai has always suppressed his realm and refused to overcome the disaster. In addition to the fact that the Red Fox clan has no one in charge, the old fox is more afraid of death. During the last catastrophe of 500 years, he was almost destroyed by thunder under the thunder. Fortunately, he had obtained two magic weapons and a kind of elixir before, so he could survive. He still could not remember that horrible feeling. He now had no confidence in the thousand-year catastrophe.
Over the years, he has been practicing hard and earning money at the same time, just to buy various treasures, hoping to help him overcome the disaster.
If he can really survive the thousand-year catastrophe, his demon elixir can be turned into a golden elixir, and he can enter the legendary realm of earth immortals, extend his life by 500 years, and protect the Red Fox clan for 500 years.
The servants came to report that the food was ready, and invited the guests to the table. When they came to the restaurant, Jiang Hao saw that the table was full, including osmanthus duck, three-yellow chicken, Longjing shrimp, fried winter bamboo shoots, and lion head, a total of more than a dozen dishes. The dishes are extremely rich.
I'm afraid this table of dishes costs a few taels of silver, enough to feed a family of three for half a year. He is worthy of being the richest man in Lanxi.
The guests and hosts were seated, and the servant poured wine. Mr. Hu smiled and said, "It's a fate today, so you're welcome. Let's have a drink together."
Jiang Hao toasted his thanks and the two drank a glass of wine.
"Looking at Mr. Jiang's appearance, he must be a scholar. I wonder if he took the imperial examination?" Hu Yuanwai asked.
"I'm preparing to take the county exam this year." Jiang Hao said.
Hu Yuanwai was moved in his heart, "I have some friendship with Mr. Wang, the county magistrate. Do you need me to say hello?"
If Jiang Hao agrees, he can naturally use this matter as bait to support him in the imperial examination and betray him. When he is in high school, he will naturally be grateful to him and ask him to help his daughter overcome the disaster. There is no need for your daughter to commit herself to this scholar.
Hu Yuanwai lowered his voice and looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Have you heard the rumor about the county exam that the quota has already been decided?"
"I have heard it." Jiang Hao nodded.
Hu Yuanwai came closer, showing some intimacy, and said, "This news is indeed true. Lord Wang is a good person, but he is a little greedy. He also uses the national talent competition to make a business. One quota is 100 taels, and some people even offer 200 or 300 taels. The first place in the county exam has now been increased to 3,000 taels. I am afraid that County Magistrate Wang can make more than 10,000 taels with this."
Speaking of this, Hu Yuanwai looked at Jiang Hao with an elder's smile on his face, and a kind light flashed in his eyes. He said, "I don't know why, although you and I have just met, I feel very compatible. Mr. Jiang, I am willing to invest in you. If you are willing, I can take this first place from County Magistrate Wang. How about it?"
If you are too kind to others without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief.
If you are humble to others, you must have something to ask for, and if you are affectionate to others, you must have something to say.
I came here to sell talismans, and I had nothing to do with the Hu family, but they insisted on inviting me to dinner. Now they want to help me find connections to participate in the county exam and spend three thousand taels to buy the first place. This old fox must have some idea.
If it were someone else, they would be shocked to hear Mr. Hu's proposal that they could get the first place in the county exam without spending a penny, and then they would probably be at a loss.
Jiang Hao was very calm. After pretending to think for a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "Thank you Mr. Hu for your kindness. I have talent in my heart and don't want to do such a petty thing. If I want fame, I will take the exam with my own ability. If I fail, it's my destiny."
When he said this, Jiang Hao raised his head with his chest and looked stern, as if there was a great spirit bursting out of his body and rushing into the world.
At the same time, a jade hand that was about to lift the curtain stopped there. Through the bead curtain, Miss Hu saw the high-spirited man in the hall with a righteous face and said such generous words. Suddenly, her heart trembled for no reason.
"Hua Lingling~!"
The sound of beads attracted Jiang Hao to turn his head and look.
The bead curtain was lifted, revealing a delicate and charming face, and the slightly slender eyes looked at Jiang Hao. The two pupils were as crystal as black gemstones. Jiang Hao seemed to see his own reflection in these eyes.
Her hair was black and tied into a bun. A golden hairpin was inserted on the side. The beads were trembling and hanging down. Her skin was white and smooth, her lips were red and bright like red fruits. She was wearing a pink long skirt, which was decorated with black plums. Her shoulders were cut into waists. She was really beautiful and beautiful. Her stunning face, coupled with those eyes, was really beautiful and captivating.
No wonder the ancient emperors were fascinated by the foxy woman and never went to court early.
Jiang Hao actually knew there was someone behind the bead curtain, but now he saw her true face, and he could only say that she was truly gorgeous. However, he did not look at her for long, but just glanced at her, and immediately moved his eyes away from the woman, and stood up at the same time.
Hu Yuanwai also stood up with a laugh and introduced: "Mr. Jiang, this is my youngest daughter, her maiden name is Xinyue, and I call her Xiaoqi. Come and have dinner together."
Jiang Hao bowed to Miss Hu, "Meet Miss Xinyue, I am Jiang Hao, sorry to bother you."
The three sat down to eat. During the meal, Jiang Hao and Hu Yuanwai talked and laughed, and they were generous and generous. They were not inferior in knowledge at all. The two chatted very congenially, but Jiang Hao did not even look at Miss Xinyue.
Hu Yuanwai looked at Jiang Hao's performance and was quite surprised. If he was an ordinary young scholar, how could he be so calm when he met such a beautiful young woman like his daughter, and even did not glance at her? I am afraid that he could not help but secretly look at her, and his behavior was ugly.
In fact, Miss Hu was also very puzzled. Was it because her beauty faded, or was the scholar in front of her not interested in women?
Or, he was a real gentleman!
Hu Yuanwai rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "My daughter, today I had a good chat with Mr. Jiang, and he solved many doubts in my heart. Why don't you toast him a glass?"
Miss Hu picked up the wine glass, and her beautiful voice was like an oriole, and she said softly, "It's my first time meeting Mr. Jiang, I toast you a glass."
Jiang Hao raised his wine glass and looked at Miss Hu with extremely clear eyes, without a trace of evil and enchantment. He looked at each other frankly, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and talked about the previous topic with Mr. Hu again.
Miss Hu gently put down the wine glass and looked at Jiang Hao's side face. She found that this scholar was handsome, well-spoken, and had a generous and gentle demeanor. What he did before was definitely not fake. At this moment, Miss Hu has determined that Mr. Jiang is a real gentleman.
At this moment, Miss Hu had a very good impression of Jiang Hao.
