The loss of reputation is not worth the loss.

"Blackjack." You Hongyin turned over his trump card and said, "It seems that God is quite partial to me."

The chips in You Hongyin's hand were almost 20 million M yuan. This victory directly turned into 30 million yuan, making a profit of 10 million yuan.

But after winning this time, You Hongyin stopped and did not continue. He even met with the person in charge of the casino and returned the 10 million he won.

"I just want to try out how accurate the formulas and algorithmic probabilities in Beat the Dealer are." You Hongyin said: "I don't want to be blacklisted by the casino just yet. Maybe I will be bored more often in the future. Come and play.”

After You Hongyin finished pretending to be cool, he was politely and respectfully sent away by the people in the casino as a potential big customer. He was as good as Gu Tianhu in the sky.

"Okay, I can't sweep the gambling world for the time being, but we can find a real gambling senior to learn from him first." You Hongyin said: "Anyway, life is still very long. And now we have a lot of time and enough money to do what we want to do.”

"I want to study finance." Gu Tianhu said.

You Hongyin said contemptuously: "You have been with me for so long, and you have still learned a superficial lesson. You have already memorized twenty Buddhist scriptures. Give up."

"I want to learn." Gu Tian said nonsense.

"Huh, I'm living the life now, it doesn't matter what you think."

"You Hongyin, you are here to train me after all."

"If I don't get training, my performance will not be deducted. What should I be afraid of?"

"You!" Gu Tianhu was angry.

Chapter 174: Celebrity Romance (1)

You Hongyin sat helplessly on the bed, listening to the cry of the person he was possessing.

It's hard for a grown man to cry like this.

The target of this mission is an ordinary person from modern times. His name is Chen Xiquan. His name is a bit vulgar, but he is not bad. He went to a prestigious university, graduated from school, worked for two years, and dated a girl. My friend was about to get married, but he got into a car accident on the way to work and lost his life.

Then Chen Xiquan traveled through time.

It's just that his life was not good, and he didn't catch a good time when he traveled through time.

It was a time of turmoil.

Chen Xiquan's identity is Guo Xi, the second in the family. His father, Guo Yuanchang, is a branch of the Guo family in Luoyang. He studied and practiced calligraphy when he was young and was quite talented. Later, he passed away to the Zhang family, who was also a branch of the family. , although the couple's surnames both have common surnames, they are really already a branch of the branch, and they do not live with the clansmen, but live in three thatched houses outside the city.

Yes, there are three thatched houses, and the Guo family has a mother, Guo, who is already in her forties. In this era, those in their forties are already considered elderly, so she must have a room by herself. It is normal for Guo Yuanchang and his wife to live in one room, but Guo Xi has an older brother, a younger brother, and a younger sister, for a total of four children.

You can imagine what it's like at home.

However, Guo Yuanchang is a celebrity, well, a celebrity who is not very famous.

Chen Xiquan was not born in liberal arts, but in his spare time at work, he would also read some historical novels about male protagonists traveling through time and space to counterattack. Regarding the term celebrity, he probably understood it as being indifferent to fame and fortune, but he did not understand that "celebrities are romantic" 'What do these four words really mean?

The current trend despises the pursuit of worldly things such as money, fame and wealth. The word "celebrity" represents people who love the mountains and rivers, sit and talk, and even drink and take medicine. Fortunately, their family has no money, let alone drinking and taking medicine, and they are already eating. Amazing.

Although Guo Xi's mother, Zhang, was from a collateral line, she still provided some things with her during the dowry. Now the whole family relies on her more than ten acres of land to support her.

A dozen acres may seem like a lot, but in fact the grain output at this time is very low. In addition, there are only two households of slaves in the family, and there are only four laborers in this family. They are too busy when planting, and they are not careful. The result is less food production.

Mrs. Zhang would like to build more houses, but since she married into the Guo family, the children have been born one by one. She has no time to worry about these things, and her husband is not worried about everything and does not care about these mundane affairs. , if not for Guo's mother to be able to handle things, I am afraid that the whole family would have gone to the northwest.

Guo Xi was twelve years old and had learned calligraphy from his father. One day he was playing with his elder brother at the door. He accidentally fell and broke his head and died. Then Chen Xiquan walked through.

Although after Chen Xiquan came over, Guo Xi's body was no longer in danger of dying again, but the wounds from that day were still there. Chen Xiquan had not inherited the memory of the original owner, so he had to tell others that he had a fall and his memory was gone. .

Originally, he was very worried that the medical treatment at this time was poor and the injury on his head could not be cured. Who knew that Guo's mother did not invite any doctor at all, but instead found a famous local Taoist priest and boiled a bowl of talisman water for him. drink.

Drinking this stuff can cause problems even if you don't get sick. Chen Xiquan had no choice but to ask for help from his cheap father who was also nearby. Grandma couldn't be superstitious. Guo Yuanchang must be superstitious too.

Unexpectedly, Guo Yuanchang was even more superstitious than Guo's mother. He seemed to have seen Chen Xiquan's fear, and comforted his son with such fatherly love. He actually said that this Taoist priest was a master of the Taoist sect and had superb alchemy skills. Even if it was just a talisman he drew casually paper, the effect is also very good.

Chen Xiquan didn't hear the logical point, but it was obvious that resistance had no effect, so he had to be forced to drink a bowl of talisman water.

In the end, Chen Xiquan could only comfort himself that what he drank was plant ash. Plant ash, except for the water being a little muddy, would not kill people. It was not poisonous or germ-free.

Chen Xiquan's fragile mind cannot be blamed. First, he felt guilty that he occupied the body of someone else's son. Second, he had received many years of modern education and was unable to accept superstition. Even if he believed that there were still supernatural phenomena in the world after traveling through time, the Taoist priest who pretended to be unprofessional was definitely not inferior to the masters.

Fortunately, he did not have any accidents because of the talisman water. The wound on his head did not get infected, and it began to heal and scab slowly. At this time, Chen Xiquan encountered another test of his own.

Eating.

At the beginning, he was a wounded soldier and his treatment was not bad. Zhang specially made millet soup to feed him. Although the taste of this millet was far less soft and sticky than modern millet, it was a bit sore, but at least Chen Xiquan could eat it.

Later, probably because the child was young and had strong recovery ability, Chen Xiquan was able to get out of bed and walk after five or six days, and the treatment of eating millet soup alone was gone.

Then he saw the staple food at home, wheat.

Yes, it was not flour, but whole wheat. Put some beans in the wheat and steam it, and it became wheat rice.

It was not that he couldn't eat it, but as a southerner, he rarely ate pasta, let alone whole wheat and steamed beans.

In addition to the staple food, the dishes on the table were a perfect series of boiled dishes.

This boiled dish was not the Sichuan cuisine that Chen Xiquan liked very much, but a real boiled dish with some salt and oil, and then it was served on the table after it was cooked.

Chen Xiquan, who had not yet had a clear understanding of the whole world, naturally despised it very much, but he soon realized that he had no right to despise it. Whether it was rice or dishes, they were snatched up by his brothers and sisters after being served for a while.

The four children were all in the growth period, and it was obvious that his brothers and sisters were really hungry.

Of course, Guo Yuanchang, the famous scholar, didn't have to rush to eat, because he ate alone, but he still talked about his children's etiquette when he saw them. Anyway, the general meaning was that people should not be without etiquette.

Chen Xiquan silently felt the so-called pressure of the times and missed the modern life in the past.

Unfortunately, he has died in modern times. ^o^思^o^Rabbit^o^在^o^线^o^Read^o^Read^o^

Perhaps because he was really hungry, and because he saw other people eating very deliciously, Chen Xiquan ate his first bowl of wheat bean rice and gradually got used to this kind of food.

Then he followed his cheap father to learn calligraphy and study.

The family was so poor that they could hardly afford to eat, but Guo Yuanchang felt that studying was more important than eating, so he did not let the children go out to support the family, but continued to study at home.

Guo Xi's elder brother Guo Yang is already fifteen years old, but he still studies with his father. However, studying does not take up the whole day. In other large amounts of time, the children of the Guo family are not very busy. This is why Guo Xi and his elder brother had a fight.

Chen Xiquan couldn't understand his father's thinking. Of course, he was not against studying. No matter what era or country, only by mastering cultural knowledge can we master the future. Learning is indeed very important. But this does not mean that survival is not important.

In Chen Xiquan's view, it is wrong for this cheap father not to go out to work for any reason. It reminds him of those who rely on their parents for support and Phoenix men. Isn't he a famous scholar? Shouldn't he be an official? If he doesn't become an official, he can do other jobs to support his family. There are 360 ​​professions among scholars, farmers, merchants and industrialists. There must be one that suits this cheap father.

But obviously, Guo Yuanchang did not have such an idea. In his daily life, apart from sleeping, eating, and teaching his children for a while, he just thinks.

Chen Xiquan thought he had misunderstood Guo Yuanchang before, thinking that he was a great writer who did not go out just to write his own works. But more than two months later, Chen Xiquan understood the world thoroughly and realized that Guo Yuanchang did not have the idea of ​​writing a book. He was not qualified to write a book in every aspect. And the daily meditation was just meditation.

In Chen Xiquan's view, these things were completely incomprehensible, but in the view of Guo's mother and Zhang, and even everyone around him, it seemed that what Guo Yuanchang did was a very normal thing.

This was also the first time that Chen Xiquan clearly realized that he was really incompatible with the three views of this world.

Chapter 175 Famous Scholars (II)

No matter how incompatible the three views were, Chen Xiquan could not say that he had abandoned the relatives of this body. Not to mention whether he had the ability to make a living, if he really succeeded, could he ignore them?

Therefore, Chen Xiquan understood that in ancient times, a family could not live alone after starting a family and building a career like in modern times, and only go back to visit occasionally. What is taken for granted in modern society is now considered extremely unfilial. No matter how unhappy they are with each other, they must live together so that outsiders cannot see that the family is not peaceful.

And now there is no such thing as imperial examinations to become an official, it is purely based on recommendations, which is why it is easier for children from aristocratic families to become officials. And if you want to get a recommendation, it must be because of your reputation.

This is also the main reason why "famous people" like fame.

After Chen Xiquan roughly understood the customs of the whole society, he could not say that his three views had been reshaped, but it did take a long time to adapt.

And gradually, he also learned from Guo's mother why his father was still unproductive despite the family's situation. In addition to reading, he did the most to show off his literary taste and participate in other people's gatherings for idle talks, just to maintain the name of the "famous family".

Guo's mother's husband, Guo Xi's grandfather Guo Yan, was a branch of the Luoyang Guo family, but he was also an official in his early years. Later, the direct line of the Guo family offended the Sima family. Although the Sima family was a royal family, they did not dare to touch the old Luoyang gentry. However, the Sima family was the emperor, so how could they swallow this breath in vain? If the direct line did not move, they simply started from the branch, not only removing Guo Xi's grandfather's official position, but also finding an excuse to fine him a large sum of money and grain.

Grandfather Guo Xi was very proud. He scolded Sima, and then took his wife and only son Guo Yuanchang to the suburbs without looking back, built three thatched houses and settled down. Grandpa Guo took nothing with him except two loyal followers, including property and servants from other families in the city.

Suddenly, such a noble act of ignoring power, not valuing property, and looking lightly on life and death quickly accumulated a reputation. Grandfather Guo's lineage finally began to no longer be a branch of the Guo family.
