Chapter 2: Divination (I)
After finishing the meal, Yi Tianyun, who came out of the health hall, had already returned to the street next to the City God Temple with the tools on his back.
Clang, clang, trot all the way.
The commercial street next to the temple has a clear rule for a long time: all street vendors and other people who have no fixed business faΓ§ade are not allowed to occupy the street at will, and they can only occupy the land from morning to dusk every day.
At that time, the notice was posted, and everyone was in an uproar, but they were helpless, after all, no matter how much money they wanted, they couldn't go against the government. According to the rules, you can eat in peace, if you don't get confiscated by the government, then you really want to cry without tears, and there is nowhere to redress your grievances.
With these constraints in place, itinerant vendors will go early every morning to occupy their seats and take up their stalls before they can open today.
This is also what Yi Tianyun has to do every day when he gets up early, goes to the streets of the market in advance to find a good position, and plans for the day's business.
"Go inside at the entrance of Chenghuang Street, and there is a little alchemist at the end of the street who can tell fortunes."
The little squares in Chenghuang Street gradually became known.
He has been setting up a stall here for a while, and Yi Tianyun has also gained a little fame; although he is not sure how accurate he is, the guests who come and go are generally satisfied with it.
"That outrageous master is also a bit reliable", Yi Tianyun often thinks of this.
The art of divination is one of the few techniques that this cheap master has taught him seriously.
When he arrived at the place, Yi Tianyun put down the bamboo cage on his back, took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tortoiseshell copper coins, etc. from the bamboo frame, placed them on the low table one by one, and finally took out a scroll from his arms and sat on the ground like this, ready.
With the curling steam rising from the steamer of Grandma Sun beside him, the shouts of the street vendors echoed in his ears, as if Yi Tianyun turned the pages of the book for a moment, and the pedestrians on the street became more and more.
The early spring is steep, but after the early morning, it is much warmer.
Chenghuangmiao Street is bustling with people.
After sitting for a while, a sound of footsteps sounded in front of Yi Tianyun.
"Fortune teller, you tell me something, look at the fortune. β
Before he could look up, a pair of black cloth boots came into view.
"Pointing out fifteen texts in the maze, turning evil into forty texts, changing lives.. You can't change your life. By the way, it's only for the diviner himself. Yi Tianyun introduced his business with ease.
"It's not expensive, it's cheap, it's not good. Fortune teller, are you accurate?"
Yi Tianyun looked up and saw the full picture of the owner of the boots in front of him.
The person who came was a young man, similar in age to Yi Tianyun, short in stature, with slender eyebrows and eyes. He is dressed in a robe, with a white fur robe underneath. A colorful brocade on the chest, jade next to the clothes, engraved with the word Cui.
After a little look, Yi Tianyun replied:
"The world is impermanent, the laws of numerology are even more changeable, there is no absolute accuracy in the world, and I dare not pack a ticket. β
Yi Tianyun put the book next to the tortoise shell and sorted out the leather coat.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought,
But I don't seem to be able to understand, and I seem a little annoyed.
"What do you mean, you just say if you can calculate it accurately!"
"Almost! Do you count?"
Yi Tianyun is too lazy to talk nonsense,
The ignorance of this gentleman does not seem to expect him to have a good conversation with him.
The straightforward expression is obviously in line with the communication style of the youth, and the youth has eased up a bit.
"Then forget it, the money will be given to you. β
The young man stretched out his hand, took out a small piece of broken silver ingot from the purse around his waist and handed it to Yi Tianyun.
"I'm sorry, the shop is small, and I can't find it without a jizi. β
Yi Tianyun glanced at the silver and replied lazily.
"It's okay, if you have more, I will reward you, as long as you give me a good look, this bit of silver is nothing. β
When the young man handed out the broken silver, there were already a few people next to him. In these years, it is a big family to be able to carry money with them.
Young people enjoy the feeling of being noticed by others.
Yi Tianyun was speechless and took the silver.
At this time, it was already clear that the young man didn't care about this bit of silver, and Yi Tianyun didn't need to say more.
"Eight characters of birth", Yi Tianyun followed step by step, and then asked him.
"My surname is Cui, and my name is Tingshan. β
The youth reported his name, "Hongxian was born in February in the third year." β
"Cui Tingshan. Yi Tianyun repeated, "Then what is Your Excellency?"
Cui Tingshan was stunned, and the corners of his eyes jumped.
Although I understood what the little Fang Shi was asking in front of me, I always felt very awkward.
Regarding Yi Tianyun's question full of bad taste, Cui Tingshan said what he came to do.
Some time ago, an interesting incident happened in the Nancheng family:
As we all know, the Pang family is the premier family in Nancheng. On that day, a Taoist came to the Pang family, claiming to be from a sect in Hanzhou outside the north and south cities.
I heard that Yi Tianyun's mind suddenly appeared in his mind the appearance of his unserious master~( Μβ½ Μ~)~.
In fact, over the years, there will also be cases where the sect has come out to accept new disciples, so the Pang family is not surprised. didn't expect that this time it was unusual, the sect actually chose a girl this time.
The one who was chosen by that sect was the eldest lady of the Pang family, Pang Tianrong.
As a result, the reputation of the Pang family has risen even more, surpassing the rest of the large families.
Pang Tianrong, the eldest lady of the Pang family, became famous in one fell swoop, and the key is precisely stuck in the identity of the eldest lady.
As the eldest daughter of the family, even if she is selected by the cultivation sect, it is difficult to change her identity as a woman. Considering that if you enter the path of cultivation, you will not return home for many years. Therefore, the family plans to set a family affair for Pang Tianrong before bidding farewell to her. In this way, she can be matched to marry another family, and she can also be given a little restraint.
The subconscious meaning of bondage is that even if your wings are stiff, you are still a member of the Pang family. The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker must not be disobeyed, and after the practice, she will return to the Pang family and serve the family. If you can't have the ability, you will be nostalgic for the flowery world outside, and it will never return.
At this point, Yi Tianyun also guessed what Cui Tingshan meant, it seems that Cui Tingshan is planning to recruit relatives, and looking for his fortune telling is to calculate this matter.
Cui Tingshan didn't know that his purpose had been guessed by Yi Tianyun nine times out of ten, and he was still talking.
"Let me tell you, our Cui family is also a first-class family in Nancheng, and I am bound to win this time. I, Cui Tingshan, am also a young talent, and I am even more compatible with her..."
For the excellence of himself and his family, Cui Tingshan has a tendency to talk endlessly.
"Cui Gongzi, I already know, so now I will show you my face?"
Yi Tianyun interrupted his boast in time.
"You see? That's good, and it's a waste of my words. β
Back to the topic, Cui Tingshan looked at Yi Tianyun.
"Then you show me the picture and see if I can do it this time. β
Yi Tianyun looked at it fixedly and was silent.
