Chapter 147: Spout
Yu Shu waved the banner of not being able to collect money, and only three or five people stayed in front of their small hexagram stall in one morning, whether it was asking for money or asking for trouble, they all did not make a penny, and the business could be described as bleak, she and Xia Mingming spent most of their time sitting there as decorations.
As soon as noon, the real face was clamoring to go back, of course Yu Shu didn't hand her over, gave her a dime of silver and sent her to go forward to buy a green onion cake and come back to share it, and lunch was so improvised.
In the afternoon, I counted two hexagrams for free, and seeing that dusk was approaching, Yu Shucai closed the stall without hurry under the urging of Xia Mingming.
When I got home, it was still dark, and I smelled a smell of medicine when I entered the door, Yu Shu shouted, and when she heard Yu Xiaoxiu answering her in the stove room, she asked Xia Mingming to push the stall back into the house, and she went to the door of the West House to find Jingchen.
There was a half-soft grass curtain hanging on the door, the door was half-hidden and not closed, Yu Shu still knocked on the door twice before pulling the curtain in, to her surprise, Jingchen did not lie on the bed, but sat on the table in front of the window to write, looked up and saw her come in, held the brush in his hand, and smiled at her, which was pleasing to the eye.
Yu Shuzheng looked at him a few more times, walked over, stood on the side of the table, and asked:
"How about it, I looked for Lang Zhong and said that you are better?"
Jingchen nodded, took a clean piece of paper, and wrote on it: "The newly prescribed prescription, I have been taking the medicine for half a month, and I drank it just now." ”
"Well," Yu Shu looked down at the table, wanting to see what he was writing just now, but saw that it had a piece of paper in his hand, and what was written on it was not words, but drawing, she said "Huh", and looked closer, only to see that on the window sill drawn in ink, the small thing squatting was a black and white Jinbao, jumping on the paper, and was naughtily trying to jump down.
Although it is not a serious painting, the ink color is symmetrical, the movement and stillness are appropriate, and the Jinbao painting is vivid, Yu Shu likes it, so he asks Jingchen for it, takes it back and sticks it in the house, but it also adds some interest to the bare wall.
Yu Xiaoxiu cooked the porridge, Yu Shu cooked two more plates of hot dishes, her cooking skills were average, just a home-cooked entrance, but Jingchen and Yu Xiaoxiu were not picky eaters, Xia Mingming was embarrassed to pick because of eating white rice, two dishes and one soup were just enough for four people to eat, and there would be no leftovers.
After dinner, the weather was cool, Yu Shu asked Yu Xiaoxiu to move a chair to the courtyard, brew a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and the four of them enjoyed the cool under the moon.
Yu Shu leaned back in his chair and looked up at the stars, interjecting from time to time.
It wasn't until someone yawned that they went back to their rooms to sleep
No matter how reluctant Xia Mingming was, Yu Shu still dug her out of bed early the next morning.
"There's no one else, I'm sitting there, I'm going to do something on this hot day." Xia Mingming yawned while getting dressed, and complained over and over again.
Yu Shu grabbed a comb and brushed her hair, and said, "In case someone wants to count marriage, then I'm not good, just to test how well you have learned from Liuyao." ”
Yu Shu can get a few things, one at a time, divided into the time of disaster, the calculation of rain and rain, the direction of life and death of the eight gates, as for Feng Shui, she has learned a lot of things, lacks practice, and is not full for the time being, while the stars are related to major events, and they are not used to set up stalls on the street.
With short hands and soft mouths, Xia Mingming learned the skills with Yu Shu, and it was always difficult to cross the river and tear down the bridge, so he swallowed half of his stomach and followed her out.
Still outside the tavern yesterday, Yu Shu went first to chat with the shopkeeper Sun for a few words, before coming out to open the stall, about yesterday in her free hexagram someone went back to mention, today there are a few more guests, the interesting thing is that the people who came are all poor women, and they don't plan to spend money, but there are a lot of things to ask for.
When it was almost noon, another aunt surnamed He came, saying that her son accompanied her daughter-in-law to visit relatives in other places, and did not come back a few days late, and wanted Yu Shu to see if there was an accident on the road.
Yu Shu accepted the birth date of her son and daughter-in-law, and after some consideration, seeing that it was fine, she comforted: "Don't worry about the eldest mother, the two of them are safe and sound now, I think it is rare for the eldest sister-in-law to go back to her parents' house once, so she will stay for a few more days, and don't worry." ”
Aunt He said suspiciously: "Is that so, are you accurate?" ”
Xia Mingming sat behind Yu Shu and pouted in the shade, Bu Yi's people hated this sentence the most, when asked "whether it is allowed or not", say yes, there is always a case in everything, if you can't answer it, then what kind of thing is it.
Yu Shu was good-tempered and said: "You have in your heart that they are safe, and they will return safely, don't always think that something will happen, nothing will happen." ”
Yu Shu's words were ambiguous, Aunt He was not very satisfied, and asked again: "Then you calculate it for me, when will they come back?" ”
Hearing this request, Yu Shu smiled dumbly, "Auntie, I can't count this." ”
Aunt He frowned, and stretched out her hand to Yu Shu unhappily: "That's it, give me the eight characters, and I'll go to another house to ask." ”
"Please." Yu Shu handed her back the eight-character paper sticker, and the eldest lady stood up and was about to leave.
Xia Ming couldn't hold back his words in the morning, and when he saw that people begged for divination, not only did they not give money, but they didn't even say a word of thanks, so he snorted coldly: "I advise you to save a few steps, this is just to be asked by Si Tianjian, but no one answers." ”
Aunt He was about to leave, but when she heard this, she turned back again, with displeasure on her face: "Why can't you bear it, can't I go and ask somewhere else, what kind of words do you say, the soles of my feet are on my legs, where do you like to go, can you control it!" ”
This middle-aged woman has a solid body, her voice is also loud, and her speech is like a quarrel, two sentences attracted the attention of the street, Yu Shu sighed secretly, quickly raised her head and covered Xia Mingming's mouth, did not give her a chance to quarrel with others, and said to Aunt Nahe:
"I'm sorry, my brother's mouth is faster, you can ask elsewhere, I won't charge money if this hexagram is accurate."
Seeing that she had the upper hand, Aunt He said angrily: "I see that you are not very old and have not learned your skills well, so I will learn to come out and set up a hexagram stall to fool people, and persuade you to go home early, don't harm others and yourself." ”
Dropping this sentence, turning around and leaving, the pedestrians on the street took the words out of context, only when Yu Shu and the others were swaggering, pointing at them, whispering, and saying nothing good.
Xia Ming wanted to chase the woman angrily, but was caught by Yu Shu, and waited for someone to disappear before she let go.
"What are you doing with me, you see, everyone has run away!" Xia Mingming turned his head and said angrily to Yu Shu, "I can't explain the reason now!"
"What's your reason," Yu Shu rubbed the saliva on his palms against his clothes, sat down again, and was watched by a group of people on the street, but he was very calm.
"Of course it makes sense, we kindly tested her eight characters, but she wronged us for deceiving people." Xia Mingming threw down his arm angrily.
Yu Shu held the abacus in her hand, and her voice was neither high nor low: "That's because she didn't care, it's not that you are reasonable, people come to ask for hexagrams, we can figure it out, that's what we can do, believe it or not, it's her business, she can't figure it out, she wants to go casually, the road is facing the sky, you can still control where people go." ”
Xia Mingming didn't have anything to argue, but he somewhat understood that she had caused trouble just now, and she couldn't lose her temper, so she said angrily: "The most reasonable thing is you, I'll go back!" ”
Yu Shu didn't stop her, and watched her leave with her head bored, because she had been here twice before, and she was not afraid that she would get lost.
The shopkeeper Sun of the tavern heard the movement, and came out of the store to ask Yu Shu a few words, Yu Shu said truthfully, Shopkeeper Sun was old and had seen a lot of things, of course, he would not follow the crowd, so he gave a few words of comfort:
"Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time, if you have real skills, you are not afraid of a sentence or two of gossip, stay on this street for a while, and see a few more faces, it will not hurt you,"
Then she asked Xiao Er to send a pot of tea out, Yu Shu thanked her, no matter what the people on the street thought, no matter if anyone asked for divination, she just kept watch in front of the hexagram stall for a day, it was because she was not afraid of the shadow, and she was not afraid of people poking her back
Xia Mingming was embarrassed to talk to Yu Xiaoxiu and Jingchen when he went home because he caused trouble, and was asked why he came back early, and lied that he was not feeling well, Yu Shu went back in the evening and did not expose her, but he got up early the next day and didn't call her up again.
On Qiu Gui Fang, three streets, all day to night can be used to idle things, just a few, as the saying goes, good things do not go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, but a night's work, almost half of the street have been heard, there is a later life in the south of the hexagram stall to cheat people money.
Yu Shu went out of the stall today, and he didn't see a single person who asked for divination for a day, not to mention, and there were people who came to this street to see the excitement and see which one was a "liar".
She learned smartly today, she brought it with her when she came, no one came and didn't sit down, she studied the five elements of feng shui by herself, lined up a row of hexagrams, and regarded this messy street as her own study, and sat for a day without hearing anything outside the window.
Before sunset, she closed the stall half an hour in the morning, not because she couldn't sit still, but because there was a rain in the evening, she forgot to bring an umbrella when she went out in the morning.
Sure enough, when Yu Shu almost arrived home, it rained in the sky, and this rain came suddenly, and many people on Qiu Kwai Fong who didn't have umbrellas ran into nearby shops to hide from the rain.
The rain is getting heavier, the wind is cold, the shopkeeper Sun is about to close the window for Xiao Er, and he sees two rare customers in front of the door, patting the rain on his shoulders and walking in, the shopkeeper Sun sent Xiao Er, smiled and went around the counter to meet him:
"Mr. Xi, are you here to hide from the rain or to drink?"
"It's all in time." The young man who walked in front smiled, turned his head and said to the young man behind him: "Brother Rui, let's go upstairs and sit first, the shopkeeper will go down to the cellar to get wine, and today we will drink - Ah Hao!" ”
Before he finished speaking, the young man suddenly sneezed, and was shivered by the cold wind at the door, and the young man frowned, and explained to the shopkeeper Sun:
"Let's make a pot of hot tea first."
The young man rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's blown down by the wind, don't worry, come here to taste wine, what are you doing with tea." ”
The young man ignored his protests, took the clean square scarf he had brought with him and put it on his forehead, and turned and went upstairs first.
The young man covered his flushed face with the soap-filled square scarf before bowing his head and following.
