Chapter 293: Xiangshi

As regular as the rising sun and the setting of the moon, the liveliness of Lin'an City has not diminished by half a minute.

After a walk around the morning market, Mrs. Shen gained a lot in the vegetable basket, and her weathered smiling face was hidden in the crowd, which looked particularly simple and unpretentious.

While looking for the way back to the palace, he carefully counted the ingredients in the basket, and planned everyone's lunch in an orderly manner. Diligent, conscientious, abiding by the duty of a woman's family, silently losing a warmth for this small medical home.

After counting the ingredients in the basket, there seemed to be nothing missing, and the kind smile on Aunt Shen's face was even more gratifying. As soon as she raised her head to identify the direction, Aunt Shen's eyes were attracted by the stall under the camphor tree not far away.

At first glance, it looks unremarkable, a brown wooden table is simply placed with the four treasures of the study, tied to the branches of the camphor tree on the white cloth sail gently swaying with the morning breeze, the cloth sail is impressively written: Solve the word and ask the good luck. A man who is about 30 years old a year shakes the paper fan in his hand and sits quietly in the corner, waiting for a customer to come to test his words.

And what attracted Aunt Shen was the sense of mystery that throbbed in her heart. Sitting under the camphor tree, the face is flat, but a pair of eyes are extremely clear, as if they can understand people's minds. Passing through the endless crowd, his spotless eyes also explored Aunt Shen's side; At this time, silence is better than sound, and before she knew it, Aunt Shen walked towards the hexagram stall.

"You may be seated, sister-in-law."

Xiangshi smiled elegantly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

"I'm just curious."

When the sense of mystery jumped out of her heart, Aunt Shen had already landed in front of the hexagram stall. It's a little embarrassing.

"Those who come follow the fate, and they are at peace with the encounter, and the sister-in-law doesn't have to be too rigid about the reasons."

Xiangshi's faint smile showed sincerity. Aunt Shen also felt that it was quite fateful, so she calmed down her worries and sat down on the bench in front of the hexagram stall.

"Look at Mr. Sven, he must also be a person who reads poetry and books, how can he live in the market and make a living by measuring words?"

"I'm just a talented person, with some ink in my stomach but no skills. Fortunately, I know a little bit about the I Ching mystics, so I opened a hexagram stall at the entrance of this alley. Occasionally, he writes letters for his neighbors and earns a few scraps of silver to make ends meet. ”

"Oh, I see."

Between small talk. Aunt Shen also sympathized with the plight of this Xiangshi. There are 1,000 quintals of grain, but only three meals, which are also forced to make a living.

"I don't know if this sister-in-law is trying words to ask the good luck or write the letter on her behalf?"

"Well, since it's here. Let's just test the word and ask for a good luck. Answered. Aunt Shen carefully took out her money bag, "Sir, how much silver is a word?!" ”

"Ten cents. But sister-in-law, don't worry, if you can't count it, you won't take a penny. ”

Whether the words are accurate or not, Aunt Shen didn't take it to heart at all, but she sympathized with the scholar's experience for a while and took care of his light business; I took out ten cents from my money bag. Aunt Shen put it in the porcelain bowl on the Xiangshi hexagram table.

"There is Mr. Lao, this is the word measurement money."

"Thank you. Sister-in-law, please give the word. ”

Didn't care about the money in the porcelain bowl. Xiangshi took the pen and paper straight and politely placed it in front of Aunt Shen. However, this time, she was able to pass Aunt Shen.

"I'm a woman, I don't know much, and if I want to come up with a word for a while, I really can't be defeated."

"Good luck and evil are in the heart, good fortune and misfortune follow fate, sister-in-law doesn't have to be too deliberate, write whatever comes to mind."

Xiangshi's words were reasonable, and Aunt Shen also thought about it quietly. On weekdays, I am most happy to see a big family in the medical hall, and I am happy to be happy and reunited; At this time, there was a fate to sit in front of this hexagram stall and ask about the good luck, and a word suddenly appeared in Aunt Shen's mind.

Following this feeling, Aunt Shen dipped the pen in ink and carefully wrote between the papers.

"Sir, just use the word 'circle' to ask the good luck."

Putting down Su Hao, Aunt Shen respectfully handed the paper back to Xiangshi.

Looking at the word "circle" written by Shen Damiang, Xiangshi's hand was holding the head of the paper fan for a while, and his expression gradually condensed a strict sΓΉ; After half a ring, Xiangshi Qinghuan's traceless eyes looked at Aunt Shen who was messing in his heart again, and shook his head gently.

"Round but not real, I'm afraid it's not a good omen."

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

The apprehension in Aunt Shen's heart was inexplicably elevated, and she looked back and forth at the word "circle" she wrote, and she really didn't see any bad signs.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, the head of my sister-in-law's family must be gone, right? And it should die in misfortune. ”

Her face was stunned, Aunt Shen was stunned for a while but nodded, and her admiration for this scholar in her heart was inexplicably more.

"Although my husband died in a misfortune, I still have a son in the family, which is also a great luck in misfortune. It's just that the youngest son is not yet an adult, and the sister-in-law should have suffered a lot for the family. ”

"How do these gentlemen see it?!"

A stranger who meets for the first time can grasp the things he has experienced in his life, how can he not make Aunt Shen marvel!

Now the sister-in-law's 'round' word has been broken, the so-called 'family is broken', leaving only one member, so I guess that the sister-in-law has been widowed for many years, and has worked hard to raise her young son. And the word "person" under the word "member" in the "circle" is half a foot next to the horizontal under the word "mouth", there is a way that "men stand up to the sky and have their own responsibilities", and at this time the word "member" is not up or down, indicating that the young son in the family has not yet been able to raise a family. ”

While explaining, Xiangshi persistently dismantled the word "circle" on the paper. At this time, Aunt Shen, who was shocked, must have already thrown herself to the ground for the five bodies that she admired.

"Sir, what a man of God! Can you retest the women of the people, can the recent disasters turn the danger into a disaster? ”

Convinced of Xiangshi's ability to determine the auspiciousness, Aunt Shen was naturally worried about the current changes in the medical hall, and couldn't help but push this matter to the hexagram to determine the auspiciousness.

"The word 'member' in the word 'circle', Bei Shen said, presumably the disaster in the sister-in-law's mouth not only affects the livelihood problem, but also the people in the family are worried about their lives. I don't know if it's right?! ”

Now that the hospital is closed to avoid disasters, everyone naturally has no way to make ends meet; And Zhu Xi, the head of the hospital, suffered many disasters and almost died. These various things should be interpreted by the Xiangshi, which is naturally comparable to the manifestation of the Bodhisattva!

"Sir, I wonder if there is a way to resolve it?"

As soon as her heart was in turmoil, Aunt Shen begged for this scholar with affection, and this interpretation of the word and asking for good luck and evil became a bodhisattva's enlightenment, and the good deeds of purifying all beings in danger were over.

"I am just a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, not a bodhisattva who crosses people in danger. Sister-in-law, the future has been decided, and it is not something that can be changed lightly by manpower, so there is nothing you can do about it. (To be continued......)
