Chapter 1: Clever Calculation

Chapter 1 (1)

As one of the largest cities in Daqin except the capital Chang'an, Pingyang City is very prosperous in commerce, with many shops on the street and a surging flow of people on the road, but the painting style of a stall in a street corner not far away is a little different, which is incompatible with the situation where the stalls in the market are full of customers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A simple fortune-telling booth, the only sign is the three big characters on the front of the book with a little oil stain sticking to it:

Hexagram half-immortal.

The stall owner is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who can't be reminiscent of a half-fairy at first glance, so bored that she is catching flies around her to play, and the appearance of her young teeth is probably the biggest reason why she can't attract a single customer in a place with such a large flow of people.

In the end, even the flies around him were caught, and Wanzhang propped his head and fell back into deep boredom and depression.

Alas, why is his fate so tragic? And an unlucky person like her, who has even become difficult in her own life, how could Master think that she can still help others achieve great things in the first place?

Thinking that she has almost been unlucky all the way since she came out of Gaoliu Mountain, as soon as she came out of the mountain, she thought that because she was in grief and anger at the time, she didn't even ask her master where Phoenix Xingjun was, so she had to pick up a few branches on the road and simply divined a hexagram by herself, and the hexagram showed the southeast direction, and then through the mouth of passers-by, she learned that the southeast direction is the central city of Daqin-Pingyang.

Then it took her five days to finally walk to Pingyang City in Daqin, enter the city, just relieved and wanted to find a high-end inn to stay, take a good bath and eat a meal to relieve the fatigue of the journey, but as a result of touching the purse, she suddenly found that the entanglement had been exhausted, and she could only pick a middle and lower inn under the constraints.

Slept until midnight, and suddenly woke up poor, although the grade of the inn where I live now is not high, but the prices in the big city are really outrageously high, at most three days later, I am afraid that I will not even be able to afford to eat. On the one hand, he blamed his master for being stingy, and he wanted the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass, and on the other hand, he could only rack his brains to think of ways to make money without capital.

After insomnia for half an hour, Wanzhang finally had an idea, she can use her own expertise, set up a fortune-telling stall on the street corner, and it will be over.

And when I think about making money, I can't help but get more and more excited when I think about it, and even start to think that when I make money and then complete Master's task, I will retreat and travel around the world, maybe it will become a good story in history:

The magic is clever and calculated, and he retreats to the clouds.

This thought kept thinking of the moon going down and the sun rising. Driven by money, she didn't feel sleepy, so she went directly to the store to borrow a table, asked for two broken tablecloths, and with a stroke of her pen, wrote "Hexagram Half Immortal" on one tablecloth, and drew a gossip map on another tablecloth, and happily set up her own door.

However, the result is that until now, she has been setting up a fortune-telling stall here for three months, and the business she has received is pitiful, and the customers of the day can be counted on their fingers, and the money she earns is only enough to pay for the room and meal, and it is not enough to even occasionally want to add a meal.

Originally, on the first day, she was also full of excitement and impulse to run her own business, but from the time the sun just rose to the third pole of the sun, her excitement and impulsiveness, as well as her longing for money, have all been worn away.

I really didn't expect that when she was in Gaoliu Mountain, she was famous in the countryside within a radius of seven miles since she was seven years old, a dignified figure who was revered by everyone as a fairy, and every time she told someone's fortune, she needed to queue up to limit the number, but here she showed up and lowered her body to set up a stall, these people dared to disdain her, and almost all of her self-confidence was shattered into scum in the city of Pingyang within three months.

It seems that she is still too naïve after all, her ideals are too plump, and the reality is too skinny, and now, she can't help but doubt her own worth, as well as ...... The mysteries of the universe.

The universe, the universe, the universe is so big, there are not only the existence of the Phoenix Star Monarch who is reincarnated as an adult and a group of people who are assisted one after another, but also those who are just those who are just those who are just to achieve a great cause, there are so many that they are like the sand of the Yellow River, so humble that they can't find even a few words of mention in the history books.

With a long sigh, anyway, his desire to make a fortune is gone, and now he only hopes to find Phoenix Xingjun as soon as possible, but he doesn't know when he will meet it.

Suddenly, I was frightened by an inexplicable idea of my own, if I couldn't wait for him, wouldn't I have to set up a fortune-telling stall here for ten years?

It was horrible.

No, no, if she can't wait for Phoenix Xingjun today, she must turn passive into active tomorrow and start looking for him in person.

As for today......

Looking at the sky, it is not advisable to enter wealth.

Let's just pack up and go back to the inn, have a good rest, and start tomorrow to find someone who needs her help.

However......

Just when she had just sorted out the hexagram on the table, stood up and turned around to accept the guise of "hexagram half-immortal", she suddenly heard the arrogant voice of a man in front of her desk.

"Hey, fortune teller!"

Wan Zhang almost rolled her eyes in her heart, she was almost raised in the palm of everyone's hands since she was a child, how could she have been treated so rudely.

Fortune teller? She is obviously a hexagram immortal, is she a hexagram immortal!

But when you go out, you have to be restrained, restrained.

She turned around with a restrained emotion, lowered her head and smiled, "I wonder what the guest wants to count?" ”

While looking at the two people standing in front of him with his peripheral eyes, the faces of the two people who couldn't be more obvious, one is the master, and the other is the servant. It was this evil servant who just spoke out of disrespect, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, but the attitude of this master is very different from that of the servant, smiling politely, and she really can't help but feel shocked:

How could this person be so good-looking?

The eyebrows are beautiful, the phoenix eyes are bright, the face is intelligent, and the young man is rich. It's just, it's just a pity......

If it is too much, it will be fateful.

However, she didn't have time to see the other party's eyebrows clearly, and she had a little emotion that Hui Ji was bound to be hurt, and couldn't help but shake her head, before she could see the other faces, the servant beside the other party had already shouted irritably: "Hey, what do you see, my son-in-law wants to test words, are you okay?" ”

Wan Zhang glanced at the servant, he didn't look ugly, but this look of looking down on people made people angry, sneered, sat down leisurely, rolled his eyes, raised his head and said:

"There is nothing in this world that I can't do, and there is nothing in this world that I don't know."

"Hmph, you little woman has a big tone, so you should drag your chin and be careful to smash the signboard."

Wanzhang ignored him anymore, looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old beautiful son, and asked with a smile:

"I wonder what you want to test?"

"Win."

He said, "Win or lose." ”

"Okay."

Wan Zhang nodded, took a piece of paper and spread it on the table, then dipped the pen in ink, slowly wrote a winning word on it, looked up at the young man, lowered his eyes and said, "Your Excellency may as well sit down first and listen to me tell you carefully." ”

I felt that there seemed to be a shadow in front of me, and the boy was already sitting in front of him, and his servant wanted to wipe the stool first, but he stopped him with a movement.

Only then did Wan Zhang realize his lack of consideration, looking at his dress and demeanor, he must be from everyone's background, and I am afraid that he would not easily use things from outside to let him sit on this broken stool borrowed from the inn, which is really condescending.

But I only pretended not to see it, and continued to analyze the word "win".

She changed a small block pen, stained it red, pressed the paper with one hand, and circled the "death" part on the winning word with the other:

"Your Excellency wants to count this word, first of all, please look here, this dead word on the head speaks of crisis consciousness, if you want to win, you need to be familiar with the truth of being born in adversity and dying in peace."

The other smiled and nodded silently as she listened, as if believing what she said, and the little servant, after she spoke, began to think that she had two brushes, and stood quietly behind her master and clasped her hands and listened.

Wanzhang smiled lightly, and hooked out the other parts, "mouth", "moon", and "shell", and continued: "This word is about communication skills, which must be able to express and listen; And the word "moon" refers to physical fitness; There is also this shell word, which means that a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a proper way, and ill-gotten wealth is not advisable. ”

Finally, she slowly circled the last part of the winning word, a "fan" word. didn't analyze, but first looked up and glanced at the brocade boy sitting in front of her.

This person seems to be more beautiful and excessively beautiful recently, and he can't help but be tempted, but he doesn't know how many disasters this beauty will bring, and it will harm others and himself, and the future is uncertain, and a fog will not be cleared.

The Phoenix Star Monarch mentioned by the master turned out to be such a person. Sure enough, there are many fortunes and hexagrams, but it is better to say that he is not so much determined by his talent as ...... It's shocking to the world.

Qingyue is beautiful, and her face is self-defeating.

Wan Zhang sighed silently in his heart, lowered his head and said:

As for this word, it means that the winner must have a peaceful mind. Think of the worst and strive for the best. It is important to know that the results of the world are not always satisfactory. The measurement should be big and the mentality should be good. ”

She paused, as if she had been thinking for a long time, and looked up at the phoenix in front of her: "The winning word that Your Excellency wants to test is actually talking about the five attitudes you need if you want to win, and the first four are all necessary for Your Excellency, but this last one - mortal heart, I'm afraid Your Excellency doesn't have it yet." If you want to make a big business, you have to start here. She slowly circled the word "fan" again, "Settle your heart, keep it the same, and respond to all changes, which is the ability that your Excellency lacks." ”

The other party's face changed slightly, his eyes fluttered in his eyes, and he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled: "You are reasonable, but you are wrong, you are just an ordinary person, and I am afraid that it is far from what you said about success." ”

Wanzhang blinked, and suddenly laughed: "The great cause I am talking about is just about being an official and making a fortune, but Your Excellency thinks too much." At the end, he added with a sly look, "You can't insist that I can't measure it accurately, and I won't give money." ”

The phoenix-eyed boy smiled as if there was starlight overflowing from his eyes: "Naturally, naturally, it's just that I'm thinking too much." The smile softened slightly, and he suddenly asked her, "What's your name?" ”

She subconsciously reported to herself:

"Wanzhang."

"Zhang?" The other party repeated, thinking about it, his voice was clear and leisurely, and he shook his head lightly with a smile, "The pearl jade in the mouth of the dead man, no matter how good it is, it is unlucky after all." ”

"It's Gu Yu who is psychic."

Wanzhang blinked, tilted her head and smiled, although she knew her fate and knew the past and the present, but at this time, after all, she still showed the smart appearance of a girl.

The young man smiled movingly: "Okay, good." Then he stood up, turned his head sideways and said to the person behind him, "Kanshui, don't give this girl money quickly." ”

I don't know when I have learned that silence is golden, and the servant who has been standing quietly for a long time heard the master's command, and hurriedly answered the call and took out the money from his purse and gave it to Yunzhang, a whole ingot of snowflake silver, and he was so arrogant that he didn't let her find it.

After that, the master and servant said goodbye and left, and Wanzhang held the silver and waved goodbye enthusiastically, smiling happily.

It seems that today must be a turning point for me to come to a hard time, not only to find Phoenix Xingjun, but also to make such a sum of money, a good day must be coming.

A master and a servant, at this time had walked to the other end of the street, and the peerless noble young man said lightly to the servant behind him while walking:

"Kanshui, there is no one at this time, you are still dressed up like this, are you addicted to pretending to be a domestic servant?"

The servant behind him immediately took off his servant clothes, revealing a brocade robe with a black background and red fire patterns embroidered on it, and it turned out to be a martial arts attendant.

Although he followed behind, he didn't forget to bow his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, Taishou." ”

Hearing this, the young man in front of him suddenly stopped, and the boots embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with dark gold thread paced a few steps in place, his face was extremely solemn, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he said coldly:

"Call me, King of Zhongshan."
