(The previous chapter was revised and supplemented by 2,000 words.)

Just like the classic scenes seen in later generations, it is nothing more than having the courtesan come out to perform a song or dance for everyone.

So that those lustful guys can pay more money.

It is similar to an auction. Whoever bids the highest price can get the virginity of the courtesan.

"Okay, arrange a seat for us. I am also interested in this." Zhang Haoran waved a folding fan in his hand, looking very suave.

He gestured to Zhu Dachang next to him, who gritted his teeth, took out a thumb-sized piece of silver, and handed it over reluctantly.

Upon seeing this, the madam reached out to grab it quickly, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out of his hand.

"Tsk! I thought I met a wealthy man, but it's so hard for him to give me such a small amount." The madam secretly despised him in her heart.

Zhang Haoran glanced at Zhu Dachang speechlessly, but he didn't blame him. After all, he had been a beggar for so long, how could he be willing to give away so much money?

However, this was already an extraordinary performance by Zhu Dachang. For him to speak, a few copper coins as a reward would be considered good.

At this moment, I am raising my head smugly, feeling my vanity is skyrocketing.

The two were led by the madam to an empty seat, surrounded by obscene laughter.

The guests are surrounded by flowers and greenery, toasting each other with cups and glasses. I believe that everyone who comes here will be infected by this atmosphere and fall into it.

It can be seen from Zhu Dachang's dazed expression and the drooling at the corners of his mouth.

With the sound of a gong, the sharp voice of the madam was heard, which was nothing more than some words to stir up the atmosphere. After the long-winded words, the protagonist of today appeared. A woman in a silk shirt and gauze skirt walked onto the stands with light steps.

Zhang Haoran could see that she was pretending to be pretentious, pinching the corner of her sleeve to half cover her face, and trying hard to do some delicate and charming things.

Others may not know, but he knows that Xiaoyu is actually the kind of woman with a hot temper, even a little bit aggressive.

Although many of them were influenced by her environment and experiences, they inevitably shaped her current personality.

Xiaoyu fiddled stiffly on the stage for a few times and then walked away.

However, it does not affect her curvy figure and beautiful face, which fascinate some people.

"Okay, everyone has seen it, now let's see who will be the winner." The voice of the madam rang out again.

"I'll give you one hundred taels!"

"I'll pay you one hundred and fifty taels!"

"Three hundred taels! Don't even think about snatching it from me today!"

"Who do you think you are? I'll give you five hundred taels..."

For a moment, there were signs of competition among the bidders.

"One thousand taels, our master wants it!"

At this time, an unquestionable voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look. When they saw the person sitting there, they immediately fell silent. There was no other reason, they did not dare to fight with the official.

"Who are you? Why are you so domineering? This young master will give you one thousand five hundred taels." A shrill voice with a hint of cynicism broke the silence.

The man with a resolute face who was shouting for his master looked over when he heard the voice, took a look and said with a smile: "Humph, where did you come from, you stinky beggar, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

The young man had disheveled hair and untidy clothes. At first glance, he really looked like a beggar.

He casually lifted his hair and said, "Master, I have never known what the heavens are high and the earth is deep, but I love to defend the weak."

"Kid, where are you from? I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Not everyone can afford to offend you."

"Oh my... I'm so scared! Do you know who I am? How dare you threaten me in my territory?" The boy said with an exaggerated expression and sneered.

"Boy! You are courting death!"

The subordinate who spoke seemed eager to show off in front of the official. He jumped in front of the young man and kicked him in the head.

The young man was not panicked. Instead, a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. He did not feel embarrassed. He rolled on the ground and avoided the attack.

"Hey~ So arrogant, you just start fighting as soon as you say so, relying on your kung fu skills, right? What a coincidence, I have practiced all kinds of martial arts since I was a child, today I will let you see them."

As he said this, he got ready to fight with the man.

But to outsiders, the boy's moves were just some fancy moves.

Sure enough, after only two or three moves, he was kicked away.

"Hehe, kid, you dare to show off your mediocre skills." The man sneered.

"How is this possible!" the young man said distraughtly.

Several people dressed as martial artists who came with him secretly thought something was wrong when the young man started to attack, and hurried forward to support him.

"Master, are you okay?"

These martial artists were all hired by the family at their expense, because he loved martial arts so much that the old man in the family had no choice but to accept them.

"Masters, didn't you say that I have already completed my apprenticeship and that there is no one who can rival me in this world? Why was I defeated so easily by him?"

"Uh~ Well, Master, I just thought you wanted to have fun. I usually just act with you. Besides, you met a real master today. Even if we fight together, we are no match for him."

The martial artist had no choice but to confess in order to prevent the young master from being blindly confident and getting beaten to death in the future.

The boy looked a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Hahaha... I thought he was some kind of creature, but turns out to be a giant baby hiding in an adult's arms!" the man said sarcastically.

"Hey! Don't go too far. My young master is the son of Lord Li Maochun. If you offend him, you will suffer the consequences!" said a martial artist next to the young man.

When the man heard this, his face was startled and he glanced sideways at the person who was sitting there with him.

The latter nodded slightly, and then he returned to his seat.

"This Li family is not simple. Their ancestor was once the governor of Tongshan, and their brother is even the son-in-law of the emperor. They still have some connections in the court. Now that I want to recommend you to serve as an official in the court, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Hearing this, the man nodded in understanding: "Thank you, sir."

The young man left with his people, feeling ashamed and angry.

For the people here, it was just a small episode. They just treated it as a show and soon returned to their previous liveliness.

Zhang Haoran recognized the young man from before. He was the reincarnation of Arhat Subduing the Dragon who had not yet awakened. His name was now Li Xiuyuan.

However, due to the farce just now, the two parties who had offered high prices one left and the other lost interest, which made the madam very sad. Therefore, she could only let everyone make a new offer.

However, these customers are not fools. If they bid again, it will not be as much as before.

This made the madam feel like the duck had flown away from her mouth.

In my heart, I still cursed that nosy idiot.

In the end, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Zhang Haoran directly shouted out ten thousand taels.

"Oh~ This young man is really generous and has good vision. Please go upstairs. Our Xiaoyu will be yours tonight." The old procuress felt a sense of satisfaction as if she had lost something in one place but gained something in another. The wrinkles on her face were all filled with smiles.

"Dachang, wait here, I'll be back later." Zhang Haoran instructed Zhu Dachang beside him.

"Ah? Sir, aren't you going to spend the night here? It's okay, don't worry about me, I'll just be waiting in the carriage." Zhu Dachang said.

"What are you talking about? How can I, your young master, stay in such a secluded place? Just wait." Zhang Haoran said, tapping his head with the fan in his hand.

"Oh~" Zhu Dachang rubbed his head, still confused.

Zhang Haoran ignored him and went upstairs on his own.

The people downstairs looked at him with different eyes, some were envious and jealous, and some looked at him as if he was an idiot.

Ten thousand taels? That's enough to buy dozens of wives. Just for one woman? It's not worth it no matter how you calculate it.

The madam led Zhang Haoran into Xiaoyu's room.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, come and meet your patron. You are so lucky. He is willing to spend ten thousand taels for you. Moreover, he is handsome, which is what you want. He is much better than those old men." The old procuress said with a smile.

Xiaoyu had been sitting there wondering which pig would take advantage of her tonight. When she looked over, she saw that it was indeed a handsome young man as the madam had said. She felt a little relieved and a hint of excitement appeared on her face. This was much better than those fat old pigs.

"How are you, young master? Xiaoyu is here to meet you." Xiaoyu bowed to Zhang Haoran awkwardly, obviously not used to these red tape.

He bit his lip, looked up from time to time, and could not hide the joy on his face.

Seeing this, the madam smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, please serve the young master well tonight. I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he walked out and closed the door.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only two people left.

"Um...sir, please take a seat." Xiaoyu said hesitantly.

Zhang Haoran nodded, sat down, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaoyu, don't be nervous, sit down and chat first."

Although Xiaoyu has a carefree personality, she seems a little shy in front of Zhang Haoran.

After looking at Zhang Haoran, he sat next to him.

"I wonder what you want to talk to Xiaoyu about?"

"If the girl doesn't mind, let's talk about your life experience." Zhang Haoran said.

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened.

In the film, when the story unfolds, Xiaoyu has become a woman who has completely fallen into the secular world and has thrown away all concern for her reputation.

There are three characters who need to be reformed. They have suffered disasters for nine lifetimes. One has been a savage for nine lifetimes, one has been a beggar for nine lifetimes, and the other has been a villain for nine lifetimes.

But why they need to endure nine lifetimes of suffering is unknown.

Zhu Dachang is portrayed as a weak and timid character, which makes many people have a bad impression of him. However, in fact, Zhu Dachang's image is not entirely like this.

As a beggar in a disadvantaged position, Zhu Dachang also experienced many twists and turns in the game of subduing the dragon, but he always maintained his self-respect and dignity in front of Xiaoyu.

In the scene at Yixiangyuan, Zhu Dachang, under the provocation of Jianglong, finally fought bravely and lost his life for Xiaoyu. This is another Zhu Dachang we see, a Zhu Dachang full of courage and sense of justice.

He is no longer a weak and timid beggar, but a man with self-respect and dignity. Zhu Dachang also has a special affection for Xiaoyu.

When Xiaoyu's life was threatened, Zhu Dachang resolutely decided to sacrifice his own life to protect Xiaoyu, which also allowed us to see the true loveliness of this character.

Of course, Zhu Dachang's final fate was also unfortunate, but he regained his dignity and self-esteem in the last moments of his life, which is the most touching part.

Zhu Dachang in the film is a very human character, and his story also makes us feel the complexity and diversity of human nature.

Through Zhu Dachang's story, we see not only a fictional character, but also the beauty and loveliness of human nature.

At the beginning, Xiaoyu was just a woman who sold her body, but under the influence of Jianglong, she began to try selling tofu and became a tofu beauty.

However, although it appeared that she had changed her career, she was still engaged in the sex trade.

As the plot develops, Jianglong finds Xiaoyu and decides to use lies to win her affection.

However, Xiaoyu saw through all of this, and she fell into extreme sadness and despair.

In order to get rid of the shadow of the past, Xiaoyu resolutely decided to change herself. She cut a knife, leaving a scar on her face, symbolizing her determination and determination to start over.

From then on, Xiaoyu truly became a tofu beauty. She earned her living in a legitimate way and turned over a new leaf.

We often lament about fate and often talk about it when we have conversations. So what exactly is fate? And what has created our fate at this moment?

The ancients said: Fate is determined by heaven, but fortune is created by oneself.

And their fate seems to be arranged. Although they have different backgrounds and experiences, they will eventually move towards the fate they were supposed to have.

They do not have Nezha's courage and strength to determine their own destiny, so they can only become toys manipulated by fate.

In this movie starring Stephen Chow, a bet between Arhat the Dragon and the gods led to the "unshouldn't have" changes in the fate of three characters: a beggar for nine generations, a wild man for nine generations, and a villain for nine generations.

Why do we say “should not have”? Let’s first talk about what “nine lives” are.

Some people say that "nine generations" means nine generations. "Zuo Zhuan: The Twenty-Five Years of Duke Xiang" says: "Nine generations of noble families were wiped out in one fell swoop. How pitiful!"

Some people say that "nine generations" means nine lifetimes.

It is believed that after death, people will be reincarnated and have another life. That is, reincarnation, nine times of reincarnation. The word "nine" also refers to the majority, a large number.

The "nine generations" here should mean eternity. The three of them should be beggars, barbarians, and villains from generation to generation. Their fate should always be like this, so how can there be any change?

Dazhong, a beggar for the ninth generation, has always been content to be a beggar. Even though he has a lot of money and can eat and drink as much as he wants and order whatever he wants, he still has no confidence and courage.

Jigong asked him to say loudly: "Give me two bowls of shark fin to rinse my mouth!" But Dazhong still didn't dare to say it, and finally ran outside the restaurant to pick up the chicken butts thrown away by others to eat. This is the fate that a beggar for nine generations should have.
