Chapter 20: Five Drawbacks and Three Defects
"Miss Yin, please be seated!"
I felt that Mr. Su was like a different person, his face was full of enthusiasm, and he didn't react at the first time, why is there such a big difference in Mr. Su's attitude before and after?
What she didn't know was that Su Chen's change would be so big, entirely because she said that she had a private money of 100,000 yuan.
Money, for Su Chen now, is what he lacks the most.
Yunyin soup alone, every time the medicinal materials used in the decoction cost a lot of money, and at present, it seems that he needs to take it at least thirty times, which will cost tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention some expenses for follow-up cultivation, which is all money.
There is a saying that the poor learn literature and the rich learn martial arts, but in Su Chen's opinion, it doesn't cost much, and the most expensive thing is cultivation.
Seeing the expression on the girl's face, Su Chen also knew that his attitude had become a little too fast, which made him think of an allusion.
Legend has it that the great writer Su Dongpo went to a temple one day to play, and the abbot saw that Su Dongpo was generally dressed and his appearance was not good, so he sat in his position and did not move, but lazily raised his hand to let the little novice show him a seat, and said: "Sit, tea." ”
Su Dongpo was a little unhappy when he saw that he was treated so slowly, so he wanted to tease this monk who judged people by his appearance, and immediately asked the little novice to come over with the book of good karma, and wrote a donation of one hundred taels on the book of good fortune in front of the abbot.
When the abbot saw this scene, the expression on his face became enthusiastic, he got up from his position, and said to Su Dongpo, "Please take a seat", and at the same time instructed the little novice: "Serve tea." ”
Su Dongpo smiled slightly, and then wrote his name on the book of good fate, and the abbot saw that it was the famous writer Su Dongpo, and hurriedly shouted excitedly: "Please take a seat", and at the same time, he hurriedly instructed the little novice: "Good tea." ”
Later, the abbot knew that Su Dongpo's poems, calligraphy and paintings were the best in the world, and it was difficult to find a thousand gold, so he asked Su Dongpo for Mobao, and Su Dongpo did not refuse, he agreed very happily, and wrote two couplets directly on the paper.
Uplink: Sit, sit, sit.
Downlink: Tea, Tea, Good Tea.
Horizontal batch: customers are divided into three classes.
Su Chen felt that he was no different from the abbot now, there was no way, it was difficult for a penny to be a hero in these years, besides, he made money by his ability, and there was nothing wrong with not stealing or robbing.
"I don't know who Miss Yin wants me to show me to?"
"So you agreed?" said Yinli, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Well, the people of my generation have learned the ability to guide people through the maze, pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, but it is easy to be punished by God if we leak the secret of heaven, so we are not willing to act easily. Su Chen's serious answer accentuated the tone with the word "easy".
"I understand, I understand, I've read a lot of books related to fortune-telling and reading, and I've asked a lot of people on the Internet, those who do your job are prone to make five disadvantages and three shortcomings. ”
Hearing Yinli mention the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, Su Chen almost didn't laugh out loud.
Five disadvantages and three deficiencies, this is a very well-known word, especially in the two industries of geographer and physiognomy, which will be mentioned almost at every turn.
The so-called five disadvantages and three deficiencies, the five disadvantages refer to widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability; widowhood refers to having no wife or losing a wife, while widowhood refers to the widowhood, that is, widowhood, loneliness refers to the death of both parents or the death of the father, and independence refers to the old age and no one to support the elderly, and as for the disabled, there are some defects in the body.
Among them, the most common is the disabled, especially the physiognomy and his party, most of those who look at fortune-telling in many places are blind, but these blind people are not blind because they have too many fortune-tellers, but they are blind before fortune-telling.
There are many schools of fortune telling, and the blind belong to the blind school, the ancestor of this school is Guiguzi, when Guiguzi saw that the blind people lived in hardship to make a living, he passed on a set of numerology inference to the blind.
If someone goes to a blind person to tell a fortune, they will find that when they are telling fortunes, they will generally pinch their fingers, and then read something in their mouths, in fact, this is because the blind people began to infer in their hearts according to the sexagenary branches of the eight characters, and put in the mantras they recited, and if you listen carefully, you will find that they are reading words related to the years, months and days of the sexagenary branches.
However, the biggest feature of this faction is that after passing on the blind, this faction will only accept disciples who are also blind, and will not pass them on to future generations, because the existence of this faction is to give the blind a livelihood ability.
In addition to the people of this faction, the other five evils are a joke in Su Chen's opinion, no, these are said by those old men, if there are really five evils, then King Wen of Zhou will gossip the day after tomorrow, and he will not live well.
According to what those old men said, those who will worry about the five evils are all half-, bastards who are less than half a bucket of water, and those who really have the ability will naturally have a way to resolve the cause and effect of contamination.
However, the old men did not deny the three shortages: money, life, and power, especially the first two, which in their opinion are the most important to pay attention to.
The reason for the lack of money is very simple, cultivation is very expensive, and that is a bottomless pit.
As for life, the same is true, although the world in which a practitioner lives is also in the mundane world, there is still a difference between him and ordinary people, it is normal to fight with each other for life and death, and the pursuit of progress is often nothing to do, and there are indeed not many people who die well when they go to some mysterious forbidden places.
As for the "power" thing, in the words of the old men, it depends on what you think, but don't expect the supreme position, since Qin Shi Huang, this thing is a purple qi empowerment, and no cultivator can touch it.
For Su Chen, he doesn't want to show people, he just doesn't want to trouble and be contaminated with cause and effect, but if he gives money, it's different, giving money is a transaction, as long as it's not aiding and abusing.
If Wang Ziyang appeared here at this moment, he would find that Su Chen's face was exactly the same as his master at that time.
"So, you mean you want me to look for your brother?"
After listening to Yinli's request, Su Chen was a little puzzled, if this girl really believes this, there is a boy with a crush in her heart, and she wants to see if the boy and her are a good match, and she feels normal, but what the hell is it to show her brother, German orthopedics?
"Mr. Su, I won't hide it from you, there are quite a lot of people in our family, and the people are also very prosperous, just passed down from my grandfather's side, and there are more than fifty cousins and sisters in my generation. ”
Hearing Yin Li's words, the corners of Su Chen's mouth twitched, this person is indeed prosperous, because their generation is in family planning, and the normal family has only two children at most, and there must be more than fifty people in the same generation, which means that the brothers of the previous generation have fifteen foundations, and the daughters are not counted.
"My grandmother gave birth to sixteen, all males. Seemingly knowing what Su Chen was thinking, Yin Li explained.
"Your family is really blessed. Su Chen praised half-praised.
"Mr. Su, do you know why there are such prosperous men in my family?"
"I want to hear about it. ”
Yinli took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his words, and said after half a sound: "My grandfather and my grandmother met by the matchmaker, but at that time, my grandmother's house was a province away from my grandfather's house, and my grandfather didn't read any books, he was just a laborer at that time, and he hadn't even been to the county......"
From Yinli's narration, Su Chen finally knew the specific thing, but he was also a little shocked when he heard this story.
