Chapter 12: The Mystery of Fate (2)
My grandfather was going to ask a well-known old gentleman in the city to show Wu Wei a look at palmistry, and it was said that the old gentleman was very good at looking, touching bones, and measuring eight characters, and he was famous in the local area, and he was a good friend with his grandfather for many years.
At this time, the father came back to visit relatives, of course, mainly to come back to see his son, although he has been a soldier for many years, the concept of patriarchy in the family is still deeply rooted in the father's consciousness, the father is the eldest son in the family, adding a son is a great joy in the family, naturally to come back to celebrate.
When the father heard that his father-in-law wanted to ask someone to tell the child's fortune, he immediately disagreed, a soldier didn't believe in this set at all, he said to Shangguan Wenlan: "What kind of fate, don't give my son this set of superstitious things!"
"This is the old man's intention, you don't follow it, you can't make your parents angry when you go home once a year, you just don't hear anything. Shangguan Wenlan persuaded her husband, she knew Jiang Zhenwu's bullish temper, and she was not afraid of anything when she started a fire, so she offended many people in the army, otherwise she would have mentioned it earlier.
The old gentleman invited by his grandfather held Wuwei's little hand, stared at his eyes wearing reading glasses, and pretended to look at it for a long time, and then twisted his beard and said three miracles, and asked his mother to report Wuwei's birthday, the old gentleman pinched his fingers and muttered for a while, and then said to his grandfather: "What a genius, this child will be a powerful character when he grows up, but his hands are full of evil spirits, and he will definitely be stained with a lot of blood in the future." ”
"Is there a way to crack it?" asked the mother anxiously.
"Huh...... Of course, when he is over 100 years old, give him a chick and let him pinch the chick to death, and the blood of the chicken will be stained on his hands, which will naturally relieve his evil spirit. The old gentleman said with a smile.
Jiang Zhenwu listened to the old gentleman's words beside him, his face turned red with anger, and he was about to say a few words, when Shangguan Wenlan next to him grabbed his arm and signaled him not to speak.
"Is there anything else?" said my grandfather, who was convinced of the old man's words.
"This child has two clearance lines on both hands to the fingertips of the middle finger, the old man is the first time in his life to see such a peculiar palm print, whether it is to be an official or to make money can pass through the sky, but his eight characters in the earth branch of a piece of soil, there is a soil in the heavenly stem, it actually contains five partial wealth and does not contain officials, this child's eight characters is a fortune from the fortune of the game, the day is weak and weak, and there is no power to help, so it can only be used with the financial officer of Xiang Ke. The official does not appear in the eight characters for the sake of using God, so this child has no possibility of being an official, but the wealth is unlimited. It's just partial wealth rather than positive wealth, no matter what kind of wealth it is, this kid must be rich and unlimited!" the old gentleman shook his head and said a lot.
The mother didn't seem to understand the old man's words, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask the old man what is partial wealth rather than positive wealth?"
The old gentleman took a sip of tea and continued to say mysteriously: "In the eight-character prediction, Rigan represents himself, that is, this child, according to the relationship between the five elements and Shengke, the one who restricts me is the official ghost, the one who regulates me is the wife and wealth, the one who gives birth to me is the seal ribbon, the one who gives birth to me is the descendant, and the one who is with me is the brother, which is called the six relatives." According to the difference between the five elements of yin and yang, I am born, I am born, I am grieving, I am governing, and I have ten ways of existence, which are called ten gods in the eight characters, that is, positive wealth, partial wealth, righteous officials, partial officials, wounded officials, food gods, positive seals, partial seals, side by side, robbery. A person's fortune is from the perspective of his positive and partial wealth, wealth is the source of life, and everyone wants. Positive wealth refers to doing the right business or salary income, and partial wealth refers to the money obtained from the non-right road, partial wealth also represents the wife, partial wealth and more, from this son's eight characters can also see that his future wife is beautiful and virtuous, but ......" The old gentleman said this, and deliberately paused.
When my grandfather saw that the old gentleman had sold a pass, he thought that something bad was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "But what? ”
"There is a lot of wealth and prosperity in this eight characters, and this child will definitely be chic when he grows up in the future, and there will be a lot of girls around him, haha......" The old gentleman laughed on his back.
"Haha......" my grandfather couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't seem to be a good thing, and having more women is also a kind of distress." ”
The mother didn't care: "I thought it was something, it scared me, it's better than not finding a daughter-in-law." ”
The old gentleman thought for a moment and then said: "Judging from the combination of this child's palmistry and the eight characters, the child's future is immeasurable, and the edge is exposed, but it is too strong and easy to break, just like steel is too hard and easy to break, and it needs to be restrained." ”
"Please ask the old gentleman for advice, how to restrain it?" said the grandfather again.
The old gentleman pondered for a while, and then said to his grandfather, "Just give him a name and restrain the hardness of his fate." ”
"Just ask the old gentleman to give me a name, and I thank you on behalf of the whole family. My grandfather said sincerely.
"There is no need to thank you for the effort, there is a sentence in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, saying: 'For nothing, there is no cure.'" I think it's called Wuwei. ”
"Wuwei, Jiang Wuwei. Good, good name. After hearing the name given by the old gentleman, my grandfather praised it again and again, "This name has a profound meaning and is atmospheric, thank you, sir." ”
After sending the old gentleman away, Jiang Zhenwu said disappreciatively: "What a mess, I have to pinch a chicken to death, let my son go to fight as a soldier in the future, it is to be stained with the blood of the enemy, the more it is stained, the better......"
Before Jiang Zhenwu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Shangguan Wenlan, because his father's face immediately changed when he heard his son-in-law's words: "It's good for you to say a few words, and your son is not just your own ......"
"And this name, what is it called Wuwei, you can't go back to your hometown at all, his name has long been on the genealogy......"
Jiang Zhenwu's words completely angered his grandfather, and before he could finish speaking, the old man said loudly: "I don't care what you call the child, in my place it is called Wuwei, I just believe in superstition, what do you want......
When Jiang Zhenwu saw that his father-in-law was angry, he didn't say anything, no matter how big his temper was, he didn't dare to lash at Lao Taishan.
Of course, Wuwei's grandfather is also very dissatisfied with this name, Wuwei's grandfather is in the countryside, the family is a big family in the village, and there are as many as sixty or seventy uncles and brothers in the same generation as Wuwei, and the names of each generation have a fixed generational arrangement, which must not be messed up, especially the name can not have the same words as the previous generations. According to the arrangement of the genealogy in the clan, the Wuwei generation is the nineteenth generation, and they are the Zhou generation, that is, the last word of each person's name must be "Zhou".
Before Wuwei was born, his name was already in the family tree, and the names of the boys in the family were already in the family tree, no matter who was born, the name must be called this name, if there are not so many children born in the family, the names will be vacant, and if they are not enough, they will be added to it, and the family tree will basically be rewritten every five years.
Wuwei's name in the genealogy is Huanzhou, and this name can never be changed, so he has two names, called Huanzhou in his hometown, and Wuwei outside.
