Chapter Forty-Nine: Entering the Hall of Wounds at Night
Chapter 49 Night into the Hall of Wounds
In the evening, Ji Xiaogu had dinner at Aunt Cui's place, and after she was wrongfully accused of stealing people and being kicked half a month ago, this was the first time Ji Xiaogu came back to her.
Aunt Cui had washed in advance, her head and face were covered with a layer of incense powder, her skin was already good, and then she was looked at by the candlelight in this night, she couldn't even find a fine line on her face, and the fine skin and tender meat were beautiful, which made Ji Xiaogu, who hadn't seen him for a while, couldn't help but take a few more looks, Aunt Cui was happy in her heart, so she pretended to be shy, and poured him wine with a blushing face.
It's just that she is so vulgar, not as clean as Fang Cai's demeanor, Ji Xiaogu retracted his gaze, touched the wine glass and said:
"The young master of the Liu family can be safe and sound, thanks to Yu Shu's clever girl, by the way, she has more than a dozen this year?"
Aunt Cui counted it in her heart, and replied late: "If you go back to the master, she will be over fifteen." ”
Ji Xiaogu nodded, "That's a good time, and you're not young, you should think about going out and entering the house, do you have a plan in mind?" ”
Aunt Cui bit her lip, "Her background, her temperament is not pleasant, and she is stupid, how can anyone come to the matchmaker, it is to occupy the door of the Ji family, and the concubine only hopes that she can find a solid family, and she will not worry about eating and drinking in the future, what else can she ask for, that is, to be a concubine for a rich family, it is better than her to live that poor life." ”
Ji Xiaogu pondered what she said, "The temperament is not pleasant, and the person is stupid", and then recalled the impression he had when he saw the stepdaughter twice, laughed, looked at the woman in front of him who was not smart at all, and said:
"You don't have any ideas, so I'll ask my second sister-in-law to pay attention to it, see if there is any suitable person in Yiyang City, and give me her eight characters in Ming**."
There is no main room in the third room, the backyard is full of a group of concubines, the dragons have no leader, Ji Xiaogu ignores trivial matters, the manager is a subordinate after all, some things are out of reach, the relationship between the three brothers of the Ji family is good, the eldest * milk has not been in good health in recent years, and Mrs. Ji gave power to the second room.
The second grandmother is in charge, Ji Xiaogu entrusts the marriage of his children to the second grandmother of the Ji family to take care of, of course, he now hands over Yu Shu's marriage match, which is to give Yu Shu, an outsider, the identity of a Miss Ji family in disguise, which is very different from the host in the Ji family.
Aunt Cui is not too stupid, knowing that in this way, Yu Shu is sure that he can be married to this rich family in Yiyang City, and immediately stood up excitedly and squatted down to thank him:
"Master, concubine Xie Lu Xie Master."
In a few words, she handed over the marriage right of her biological daughter, and Aunt Cui was not only happy, but also a little relieved.
After all, she no longer has to worry about her daughter not marrying a good family, and she will become a drag in the future.
In the dark night, Yu Shu sat on the steps at the door of Jingshu Hall, supported his head with one hand, and yawned.
During the day, Qingzheng Taoist asked her to come to Jingshu Hall to find her in the dark, she ran after eating, no one was seen, the hall was locked and couldn't enter, she waited at the door for half an hour, ready to see no one again, and went back to sleep.
In the afternoon, she went to Mian Zhai, and she prepared a whole set of rhetoric on the way, how to explain to Cao Zixin that she was absent from work yesterday, but when she arrived at the place, Mian Zhai closed the door.
On the other side, the shopkeeper Wu told her that the paper and ink shop did not open yesterday, counting the day before yesterday when she asked for leave to travel, it was not open for three days, and she did not see Cao Zixin's figure, and the shopkeeper Wu also took the opportunity to dig the foot of the wall and asked her if she would like to come to his store to help.
Yu Shu politely rejected the profiteer, went home with doubts, and planned to go to see it again tomorrow, when she asked for leave that day, this shopkeeper Cao said to visit friends, shouldn't he go to another place?
Looking up at the half-toothed moon in the sky, Yu Shu stood up, patted his ass and prepared to leave, don't wait, if the old man has the mind to test her and let her wait stupidly in this cold night, she won't be accompanied, I don't know how precious her time is, and she can read books and recognize more words when she has time.
As soon as she took a step, the old Taoist priest came, stepping on the time, carrying things in both hands, and arrived at her in a few steps, stuffed the things in his hand into her arms, crossed her and took out the key to open the door, went in and lit the wall lamp at the door, saw that Yu Shu was still standing outside the door, and beckoned her to come in quickly, as if he was at his own home.
"Come in and don't let anyone see you."
"Oh." Yu Shu went in with a bunch of things, and Qingzheng Daoist closed the door behind her, and she turned her head vigilantly.
Qing Zheng turned around and saw her defensive, snorted, took the things in her arms, and handed her the fire fold:
"What are you afraid of, for the teacher not to eat people, go, light all the lights."
Yu Shu thought that he was to avoid people's eyes and ears, and it was understandable, so he was half vigilant and went in to light the lamp, where she cleaned for a few days, and felt it clearly, and she could find the candlesticks embedded in the wall even if she was blind, and lit them one by one, turning her head from time to time to pay attention to Qing Zheng, and saw him fiddling with a large pile of things in the open space in the hall, not knowing what he was arranging.
When she came, she thought about what Lao Dao would teach her, but she didn't know much about Yi Xue, and she couldn't even guess it when she thought about it.
After lighting all the candles and lighting up the hall, Yu Shu climbed down the ladder and paced to Lao Dao's side, watching him hold a large wolf hair, which was mixed with the unknown liquid in the bowl and drew some strange shapes on the ground.
"Master, what are you doing here?"
Qing Zheng Daoren didn't seem to hear what she said, he took care of the painting on the ground, preoccupied, Yu Shu had to close his mouth and wait, fortunately, he was experienced in his technique, and it didn't take long to finish the painting, he stood up with the bowl, checked it, and confirmed that it was correct, before he raised his head, revealing a slightly tired face, pointed to one of the several circles of graphics, and said to Yu Shu:
"Come here and sit down."
Yu Shu walked over on tiptoe, carrying her skirt, afraid that she would step on the painting if she didn't do it on the ground, and after sitting down, she found that these silver and shining paints had long been solidified on the ground, and she couldn't touch them with her hands.
Qing Zheng also sat down cross-legged opposite her, breathed a few times, and said:
"From today onwards, the teacher will pass on your easy technique, because you are anonymous, you don't have to follow the door rules, only one point, you must obey."
Yu Shu said: "Master, please speak." ”
Qing Zheng's eyes gathered, and his eyes were like torches: "It is a teacher, and it wants to help the teacher do one thing." ”
"Vulgar, too vulgar, next this old man is going to tell her a tear-jerking blood feud, what is the story of killing his wife and children, and brothers against his purpose, and then ask her to avenge him."
Qing Zheng frowned: "Why don't you want to?" ”
"Master, can you tell me what is going on?"
Just kidding, she hasn't been taught any skills, so she has conditions, in case she learns a trivial matter, and this cheap master tells her to kill people and set fires, then she has to do it?
"Don't worry, the teacher just wants you to find something on my behalf, and I won't ask you to kill people and set fires, and there is no danger of life."
Qing Zheng Daoist seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, in Yu Shu's embarrassed face, he reached out and grabbed it behind him, took two chess bowls and placed them between the two, the bowl was a very ordinary chess piece, one bowl of black, one bowl of white, he closed his eyes and said:
"If you don't let you see some real skills, you won't be convinced, come, you can grab a handful."
Yu Shu didn't know what he was going to do, so he obediently grabbed a chess piece in the white bowl.
"White Seven."
"What?"
"For the teacher, you have seven white seeds in your hands." Qing Zheng closed his eyes, and the old god was in the way.
Yu Shu spread out his palms sluggishly, and swept over with a glance, it was indeed no more, no less, seven white seeds, and he didn't have time to be surprised, so he heard Qing Zheng say:
"Catch it again."
Yu Shu then grabbed another handful of black ones.
"Black Nine."
Yu Shuran is silent, it's nine.
"Catch it again."
Yu Shu reached in and took it out.
"Black Three."
Yu Shu stared at the three sunspots in his hand, his eyes were bright, as if he wanted to see them out of a hole, once or twice it could be said that he was lucky, but he guessed it three times, this probability-
"Grab one in each hand."
Yu Shu licked her lips, her heartbeat accelerated a little, she put her left and right hands into the bowl respectively, her eyes stared at Qing Zheng's breathless eyes, she had more heart eyes, and her fingers "banged" to make noise, and then took it out.
"The left hand is white, and the right hand is childless."
"Smack-" Yu Shu's hand shook, and the white seed in the palm of her left hand fell to the ground, and she didn't know how silly the expression on her face was now.
Qing Zheng opened his eyes, looked at the admiration on Yu Shu's face with satisfaction, and was just about to speak, when he heard her exclaim:
"Master, Master, your ear power is too good, right?"
With this hand, if this bad old man is in the place where she lived in her previous life, how can she not be a gambler
Qing Zheng's beard trembled, and he said angrily: "Is this a bullshit teacher? ”
Yu Shu wiped the spit on his face, his attitude was much more respectful than before, and he hid his surprise with a hippie smile:
"And how did you guess that?"
Qing Zheng snorted: "Tell me, what is easy to learn?" ”
Yu Shu: "It's the study of easy reason." ”
If Liu Fuzi of Sanjue Book House heard her answer like this, he would be sure that a mouthful of blood would spray on her face, and after studying for half a year, he couldn't even say the basic meaning of easy learning, was there such a mix?
Qing Zheng Daoist glanced at her fiercely, stroked his beard and smoothed his breath before speaking:
"To put it simply, easy to learn is a science of predicting and divination, you remember, easy is to calculate, divination. There is no escaping either of these things. ”
Yu Shu nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
Based on Yu Shu's answer just now, Qing Zheng also knew what kind of broken level this newly recognized apprentice was, and it was too late to regret it, so he had to patiently enlighten her:
"You don't understand if it's difficult, as a teacher, I'll simply tell you, arithmetic, it's arithmetic, it's skill, divination is to borrow foreign things, such as hexagram plates and six money, this is the means, use skills and means to speculate on the future, this is my generation easy to learn, but also the most common easy technique."
Yu Shu suddenly realized that after reading so many heavenly books, she understood for the first time what the easy learning of the Da'an Dynasty was.
Then he wondered: "Then you just guessed that the chess pieces in my hand are also easy to learn, why didn't you see what foreign objects you used?" ”
The old man Qing Zheng smiled proudly, "It is a superior easy technique to be used by the teacher, and you can take it with all your heart and eyes, so why do you need any external objects, for the teacher's skills, judging blessings and misfortunes, and judging life and death, it just takes a little more effort." ”
Yu Shu's throat was a little dry, and her heart was itchy, if she just had a wait-and-see attitude to accompany this old man to play at home, then now she really wants to learn skills.
"Master, you're so powerful."
Qing Zheng proudly saw the eagerness and admiration in Yu Shu's eyes, this little girl has always been lukewarm in front of him, and she doesn't know any respect, now she finally knows how powerful his old man is, hum.
