Chapter 033: Fortune telling
The Nine Emperors Meeting was held in Beiping Liyuan, the so-called Nine Emperors were the human emperors, the human emperors were nine, the heavenly emperors were thirteen, and the earth emperors were eleven, because the human emperors created clothes, houses, musical instruments, etc., so the pear orchard line only worshiped the nine emperors. All members of the Liyuan Opera Troupe, from the first day of September to the ninth day of the first month, must have a day of bathing and vegetarian food to show their reverence for the Nine Emperor Gods.
The old master of Liyuan is surnamed Long, his name is Changle, and he can be said to be the most respected person in Beiping Liyuan, and the older generation of people have to call Master Long when they see him. After Master Long and fortune teller Wu Qingyun arrived at Xiaoxue in Qiantang Town, they first went to visit Mr. Zhang, and when Mr. Zhang saw Wu Qingyun, he immediately got up to greet him.
"What kind of wind is this blowing you, Old Immortal Wu?" Mr. Zhang held Wu Qingyun's hand and said.
Wu Qingyun introduced the teacher of Liyuan, Fu Long Changle, and said: "This is the old master of Liyuan, looking for me to find a child to play the Nine Emperor Gods, I am thinking that the students of your school should have a decent person to bring to meet, and I just haven't seen you for a while, let's go and drink tea later." ”
"You're direct." Mr. Zhang said with a smile.
Master Long gave Mr. Zhang a salute and said, "I have met Mr. Zhang, the last time I saw Mr. was in my garden, at that time, I heard Uncle Qin call Mr. the second brother, I thought that Mr. was the patriarch of the hall, but I didn't expect that it was Mr. Pedant, and he was an old friend with Mr. Wu, which was really disrespectful." ”
Mr. Zhang hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Brother Long is polite, how can I be called a virtuous and respectful person, just a teaching bastard, you two are highly respected, a Taoist immortal, a pear orchard master, can come to my despicable place to walk around." ”
"Sir is too modest." Master Long said.
Mr. Zhang said: "Just now, Brother Wu said that brother, you came to my school to find a child who played the Nine Emperor Gods, I don't know what the requirements are?" ”
Master Long said: "It's only two days before the Nine Emperors Meeting, and the little flower girl in my garden suddenly fell ill and couldn't go on stage, so I temporarily found a baby to save the scene. ”
Mr. Zhang snorted and said, "It's good to have a few babies, and I don't have much to say about my vulgar eyes, so I call the students to the playground, and you look at them one by one." ”
"That's better, Mr. Trouble." Master Long thanked.
So Mr. Zhang struck the gong to greet the students to class in advance, and then notified the teachers of all grades to gather the students in the playground.
Mr. Zhang took Master Long and Wu Qingyun to the playground, the students lined up and stood up, and heard the teacher say that it was the master of Liyuan Xing who came to pick apprentices, so they all held their heads high, the school was more than 400 people, Master Long walked by one by one, picked three or five slightly favorite ones, and finally when he reached the first grade, he saw Jiang Sheng standing between me and Xiao Wu at a glance.
"What's your name?" Master Long asked.
"Jiang Sheng." Jiang Sheng said.
When Jiang Sheng and Mr. Zhang went to the pear orchard, they sat in the back row with Qin Changqing, but they were not seen by Master Long.
Master Long said: "This little baby is good, her appearance is passable, and her posture and figure are fine, but I don't know what her voice is." ”
Mr. Zhang looked at Jiang Sheng and asked, "Last time, I heard Changqing say that you have heard some Peking opera, and I don't have music and rhythm classes in this school, so if Jiang Sheng can sing, come and listen to Master Long for a while." ”
Jiang Sheng shook his head and said, "I can't sing." ”
The other students below couldn't help but be envious and jealous, so they volunteered, "I'm coming!" ”
Master Long looked at a few students who spoke, either they had birthmarks on the corners of their mouths or their hair was messy and dirty, and they couldn't look at them after all, so he said, "Just this little baby, at least after the Nine Emperor Meeting." ”
Mr. Zhang nodded, looked at Jiang Sheng and said: "Liyuan will hold the Nine Emperor Meeting on September 9, when you will play the supreme Nine Emperor Gods, be worshiped by everyone, and visit Beiping City, you will go to play, and listen to Master Long's words." ”
Jiang Sheng nodded, frowned, and said, "Got it, sir." ”
Seeing Jiang Sheng frowning, Master Long said: "It's not that you want to run away, someone will carry you to pick you up at that time, and after the Nine Emperors Meeting, you can eat big fish, meat, fragrant cakes, and honey, and it doesn't hurt to stay in my pear orchard to play for a while." ”
Jiang Sheng said: "I don't like meat, can you take my sister and friends to eat at that time?" ”
Master Long didn't expect Jiang Sheng to say this, so he agreed, looked at Mr. Zhang and Wu Qingyun and said, "This kid has some opinions, why don't Mr. Wu look at his face, can he become the corner you said?" ”
Wu Qingyun nodded, stretched out his hand to let Jiang Sheng put his little hand up, he touched Jiang Sheng's palmistry, and said: "Just looking at the face is indeed a drama embryo, but palmistry numerology is a career of the physiognomy, and it is not impossible to cultivate it." ”
"Can this kid become a big official in the future?" Mr. Zhang asked.
"People's lives can not be determined in a word, which way to go ultimately depends on how you live, delicious and waiting for death, diseases and natural disasters are all disasters, of course, the chance of avoiding these is much greater than that of others, and there is more than one emperor in the world, and there is only one person who can become the emperor in the end." Wu Qingyun said.
"You're talking in a fog." Mr. Zhang said with a smile. "It just so happens that my students are all here, so you can see who can succeed in the future."
Wu Qingyun seemed to see that his old friend was in a very good mood, so he said: "Okay, then the old man will make an exception today, and see who of your disciples is the most outstanding in pedagogy." ”
Wu Qingyun squinted his eyes as he spoke, and looked at the students of Qiantang Town Primary School one by one, and after a while, he pointed in my direction and said: "There is a three-foot blue light above my head from afar, no accident, I will be a champion in the future!" ”
Wu Qingyun's words made everyone look back at me in unison, and I blushed a little embarrassed at the moment.
Mother said that Zhang Guangzhu caught a big red carp that weighed more than ten catties, and the old people in the village said that it was the best place to release the arowana, but Zhang Guangzhu did not release it. Many people have heard of the Arowana, if the pregnant woman eats the baby she gave birth to will be stained with dragon gas, the future will be either rich or expensive, either the emperor or the champion, so they will pay a high price to Zhang Guangshan to buy, Zhang Guangshan does not sell, and he has no daughter-in-law, so he gave the Arowana to the pregnant mother.
My mother has said more than once that in the future, I will be a female talent in Qiantang Town and a female champion in Beiping City.
At that time, my grades were in the middle of the class, some people were envious, some people were jealous, and some people were suspicious, and even Mr. Zhang was not very sure and asked: "Brother is saying that the female doll named Jiang Rong will be the champion in the future?" ”
"No, no, no." Wu Qingyun hurriedly waved his hand, pointed over again and said, "I mean the little fat man next to the girl." ”
Wu Qingyun's words made many people laugh, even Xiao Wu laughed, Mr. Zhang's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Brother, you are a little far away, he can't even memorize the "Three Character Classic", and he has not passed the exam. ”
Wu Qingyun said: "At this time and that time, the blue light on the top of his head is his Confucian life, you want me to see the future, not the present, believe it or not, in short, the hexagram says so." ”
"I'm the champion, Jiang Rong, I'm the champion, haha......" Xiao Wu laughed, danced, and ran around the crowd excitedly.
Mr. Zhang's face was embarrassed, before Xiao Wu was expelled by Mr. Zhang, he blocked Li Tieniu and Li Tiedan's brothers every day, and later Niu Aihua learned that Xiao Wu had not gone to class for a long time, so he went to school in person, scolded at the door of Mr. Zhang's office, and did not get up at the door, Mr. Zhang had to agree to Xiao Wu to come to class, so that Niu Aihua immediately disappeared from school.
Since then, Mr. Zhang has not been very unkind to see Xiao Wu, he doesn't care about Xiao Wu, and often uses him as a negative teaching material, as long as he doesn't cause trouble and hurt people, thank God, but Wu Qingyun said that Xiao Wu has Confucianism on the top of his head, and he will be a champion in the future.
This is a slap in the face to Mr. Zhang, how can he not be angry?
"This kid has a lot of strength, you say that he is a general, you say that he is a Wenqu star, hum, this is not nonsense!" The more Mr. Zhang thought about it, the more angry he became, he didn't give Wu Qingyun face at all, and he swallowed back the words that he wanted to encourage the students. "Let's all disperse, go back to class!"
After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he turned his head and left, Master Long looked at Wu Qingyun embarrassedly, Wu Qingyun shook his head and said, "He has this temper, it will be fine in a while, take this child over." ”
Master Long nodded, and asked Jiang Sheng to follow him to Mr. Zhang's office with Wu Qingyun.
Xiao Wu was happy for a long time because of Wu Qingyun's words, and he couldn't settle down in class, so he talked to his tablemate Wang Hu many times in a row.
When he came home from school in the afternoon, Xiao Wu also jumped all the way, because Niu Aihua and Ma Aiguo had separated, Xiao Wu was different from us, in the past, he pestered Jiang Sheng to ask Jiang Sheng to give him a ride, this time he happily forgot that no one took care of it and jumped all the way home.
After Xiao Wu went home, he naturally told Niu Aihua what Wu Qingyun said, Niu Aihua didn't care at first when she heard Xiao Wu say this, but Xiao Wu's grandmother was shocked after hearing it, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Wu and asked: "Grandson, the person who said that you will be the champion in the future is a fortune teller surnamed Wu?" ”
Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Well, my classmates all said so, and he also said that there was a light on my head!" ”
Xiao Wu's grandmother was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly pulled Niu Aihua and said: "Aihua, when you were a child, I also showed you to Mr. Wu, he was very good at fortune-telling!" Mr. Wu said that you are rich and noble, this should not be fulfilled, the crosshairs don't know that you gave birth to a Wenqu star, you clean up, this old Mr. Wu is not far from our house, go visit him! ”
Niu Aihua hurriedly dressed up, went to the street with her old mother to buy some eggs and fruits, and took Xiao Wu to Wu Qingyun's house together.
Wu Qingyun's family lives behind the old street in Qiantang Town, through the alley and two streets away, a spacious mansion, with a gossip bronze mirror on the door, and stone lions on both sides.
The one who opened the door was a little Taoist boy, who introduced the little five mothers, and Wu Qingyun sat in the welcome hall.
"How many people come to my house, I don't know what you are doing?" Wu Qingyun asked.
"Old Immortal Wu, I used to be Yang Chunfeng from the same village as you, do you remember?" Xiao Wu's grandmother, Yang Chunfeng, asked with a smile.
Wu Qingyun nodded and said, "I have some impressions." ”
Yang Chunfeng said happily: "Wu Lao Immortal, this is my daughter Niu Aihua, grandson Ma Xiaowu, today my grandson came home and said that you told fortunes at school that he would be the champion in the future, and I and my daughter specially came to thank Wu Immortal." ”
Yang Chunfeng said and put the eggs and fruits on the ground, Wu Qingyun saw Xiao Wu and said: "It's true, this little baby is called Ma Xiaowu, I heard Zhang Shunyi say, naughty and mischievous fights, very unpopular, notoriously annoying, I said when I was in school that he was the champion, not only did his reputation lose his reputation, but even the old guy was born for half the weather to break off his robe with me, it seems that your grandson is really angry with people and gods!" ”
Xiao Wu heard Wu Qingyun say this, and said cowardly: "Thank you Old Immortal Wu for your compliment." ”
Niu Aihua slapped Xiao Wu's head, Yang Chunfeng was a little embarrassed, and said: "Then Wu Lao Immortal, you give my grandson a closer look, is he really the champion?" ”
Wu Qingyun beckoned Yang Chunfeng and Niu Aihua to sit down, and he also sat on the upper seat, and then beckoned Xiao Wu to his side, looked at the palmistry carefully, and asked Niu Aihua Xiao Wu's birthday, and said after a while: "A Confucianism is indeed good, whether it is the champion depends on his own creation, the child is too young, the numerology has not yet been oriented, and the specific handling has to rely on himself." ”
Yang Chunfeng said: "Wu Shenxian, my daughter and I are both from the Zhuang family, and we can't recognize all the words, how do you think the life of this champion is given?" ”
"You old woman, my master's fortune telling is against the way of heaven and leaking the secret of heaven, and you want him to help your grandson give the champion life, don't you want my master to break his life, if this fat man knows all day long, what kind of law do you have?" A fair-eyed boy next to him said.
"No one shall be rude." Wu Qingyun looked at Xiao Daotong and scolded.
Yang Chunfeng also felt that her words were a little excessive, and her expression was a little embarrassed, Niu Aihua inherited her mother's personality and was usually spicy, and she didn't dare to say much when she saw Wu Qingyun at this time, so she hurriedly asked Xiao Wu to kneel down and kowtow to Wu Qingyun.
Xiao Wu knelt on his knees, knocked his head three times, Wu Qingyun pulled up Xiao Wu, and said: "Your child's palmistry is intermittent, and the lifeline and marriage line are also blurred, I calculate that you will face a choice in ten years, and if you choose the right one, you will be successful, and if you choose the wrong one, you will work hard for a lifetime." ”
Xiao Wu raised his head and asked, "How do you know if it's right or wrong?" ”
Wu Qingyun said: "Right is right, wrong is wrong, I'm afraid that you know it's wrong and you have to choose, people, there will always be a time when you have to do it." ”
Niu Aihua was overjoyed and said: "Anyway, it's only ten years, and I'll help him choose it when the time comes, thank you for the reminder of the old fairy." ”
Niu Aihua knelt down and kowtowed as she spoke, Yang Chunfeng still had something to ask, and Xiao Daotong said: "The master only counts one hexagram a day, you come to the master's house without an appointment, today is already an exception, please go back." ”
Yang Chunfeng saw Xiao Daotong say this, glanced at Wu Qingyun with a serious face, and had to thank him, leading Niu Aihua and Xiao Wu away.
After Xiao Daotong sent Yang Chunfeng back from his wife, he asked Wu Qingyun: "Master, you gave that little fat man his life today, and he said it so clearly, that woman helped her son choose, it must be a good choice, isn't he definitely the champion in the future?" ”
Wu Qingyun shook his head and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "She won't live that long." ”
