"The real goat" said the poor boy

"It's Sanyang, Sanyang" the Taoist priest corrected
"Goat, goat"

The Taoist priest was so angry that his beard trembled, "I haven't had any income in the past three or four days. I don't have any rice to cook. It's okay if I don't make any money. How can I still cause trouble?"

The Taoist priest pointed to the names embroidered on the table and told the poor boy, "San, Yang, Zhen, Ren, do you recognize them?"

The pauper rubbed his fingers and whispered, "I can't read..."

"Hey! I'm so angry! Whose child is this?"

"I came to you to learn how to read, you teach me"

"Shall I teach you? Who are you?"

The poor boy took out a string of beads from his arms and handed it to the Taoist priest, "Grandpa said that you would teach me how to read."

Master Sanyang was going crazy with anger, but his anger instantly disappeared when he saw the string of beads in the poor boy's hand.

There were originally two strings of beads, which were the personal treasures of Master Sanyang, also known as Wang Lao Shenxian. The entire string of sheep's horn abacus beads was polished from the horns of antelopes in the Himalayan snow mountains. It has a round top bead with a thousand-year-old red coral from the East China Sea carved with a dragon pattern. It is equipped with high porcelain turquoise carved dragon head tee and phoenix head tee. A few years ago, the old fairy gave the son of the northwest king a dragon head bead. Today, the poor boy has a phoenix head bead. Apart from the size of the two beads, this is the only one. Different everywhere

A nine-eyed dzi bead hangs under the tee. The dzi bead is divided into two branches, and each one is decorated with four opal round beads. There are only two such bead strings in the world. But he gave it to this little girl
"Master Taoist, would you like to teach me how to read?"

"Call Master!" Master Sanyang knew in his heart that his senior brother must have his own reasons, so he taught him as soon as he asked him to teach him.
"Yes! Master!" The poor man knelt down and kowtowed three times to the Taoist priest, and from then on he became his master.
Even though Sanyang Zhenren is in such a state, he is actually the most talented person in the world. Even Wolong and Phoenix are not as good as him. This person is a man of great talent and strategy. He is knowledgeable about the past and present, literature, history and military arts, hundreds of schools of thought, and heavenly stems. All the earthly branches, astrology, etiquette, and methods are all understood and understood.
In the early years, the emperor heard about this man and went to invite him many times. However, he was very disgusted with the corruption and filthiness of the officialdom and did not want to be with him, so he hid in the city and set up a stall in the busy market, telling people's fortunes and writing letters for him to make a living.

"What's your name?" the Taoist priest asked.

"poor boy"

"Which one is poor?"

"I can't read, they said it means poor"

"It's a good girl, what's the name?"

"Returning to Master, my disciple feels that it is very good. Although he is poor, he is rich in his heart. Being poor is rich."

"You girl, you think clearly. Being poor is not about being rich, it's about being hungry!" I heard the Taoist priest's stomach growling like thunder.

"Is Master hungry?" The poor boy took out a paper bag from his bosom, which was the yam cake that he hadn't finished eating yesterday. Master must be satisfied with this apprenticeship ceremony."

"Hey! Dear disciple...bring it quickly." I saw that the Taoist priest's face was almost blooming. He took the yam cake and ate it. It was worse than the poor boy yesterday.

After eating for a while, I even licked ten fingers.

"Poor boy..." The Taoist priest was about to say something when he saw a person coming from the east end of the street. She was very enchanting in red and green. This girl was the most popular girl in Tianxiang Tower named Jin Lian, but now she is old and has lost her beauty. Not as good as before

"Hey! Sister Jinlian," the Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward to greet her with a smile on her face.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Sanyang."

"Why haven't I seen my sister recently to calculate my marriage? But I was right last time and I already have a family?"

"If your calculations are accurate, then the sow should have a family. You know clearly that people in our industry rely on marriage to earn a living, but you are always bluffing me. In the past, you talked nonsense and defrauded me of how much money I had. Now I have something to do. I will come back to settle accounts with you another day..." Jin Lian said and left angrily.
"Sister Jin Lian! If you have time someday, I'll give you a divination for free!" the Taoist priest shouted towards Jin Lian's retreating figure.
"Poor", the Taoist priest came back and sat down and called to the poor, "You will go back today and come later when you have free time. I will teach you everything I have learned in my life." "Do you also teach divination?" asked the poor.

"teach"

"Poor children don't want to learn"

"Why?"

"No..."

At night, the old gods burned incense, turned into talismans, danced, and sat down to chant sutras just like last night.

When the poor man saw the old god sitting down, he also came out and sat down next to him, "Grandpa, did you bring red bean and yam cake today?"

The old god smiled and said nothing, then took out a paper bag and handed it to the poor boy.
The pauper took it and opened it, and each of them took a piece of fine food.

"Can you see your master today?" the old god asked

"See you! It's just..." Paoer hesitated to speak.
"It just doesn't look reliable?"

"Yeah! His divination is inaccurate."

"Hahahaha..." The old fairy Niushou laughed

"He is very hungry. His stomach growls and the sound is like thunder." The poor boy said, "The poor boy is satisfied just to have a master."

"Grandma is gone, and the pauper has no relatives in this world. But now the pauper has a master, and grandpa, you are good to me, and my brother and Chengzhe, the second lady and sister Xiangxing, the pauper actually has With such great blessings, poor children must live well..."

"Infinite Heavenly Lord! Good boy, good boy!"

At dawn the next day, Mother Su came over and called the poor boy, "You damn girl! You are born lazy! Today is the old lady's birthday, and there are many guests in the house. If you don't hurry up and go to work, you will be lazy all day long." "

When the poor girl heard this, she got up immediately and went to the well to fetch water. However, the kitchen was busy today and she fetched more water than usual. The fire in the stove was not extinguished all day long. How could a child as young as her be able to do so by herself? Many, but Mother Su only looked at her. If she saw the slightest slightest neglect, she would come up and beat her.
The poor girl remembers what the old fairy said that night. She will never forget the person who killed her grandma even if he turns into ashes. She will definitely find the person who killed her mother. She is currently beating her Su. Her mother is the person she hates the most. She has recorded all these beatings and will definitely pay them back a lot in the future...

The main entrance of the palace is wide open, and it is very lively to welcome and send people off.
The courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, which was very festive. The old lady got up early in the morning and dressed up, and all the daughters-in-law at home came to pay their respects to her birthday first.
Baozhen even picked a bright red rose and gave it to the old lady to wear on her temples. The old lady was very happy and everyone in the family was rewarded.

After lunch, all the princes and important ministers came over with their families. The men and children were with the prince, and the women went to the old lady's courtyard to say hello and chat.

When the banquet was held in the evening, everyone ate together again. The third lady sat far away and looked carefully at each table. However, Mr. An and his wife were not seen, so they called Yun'er over and asked in a low voice.
"I said there are some things that delayed me," Yun'er said, "I'll come when the show starts."

The third lady heard this and whispered to Yun'er for a long time. After hearing this, Yun'er hurried away, not knowing what to do...
