Chapter 2 Pinch your fingers
Li Rizhi said proudly: "Of course it's calculated!" ”
He picked up the "Book of Changes" on the table and shook it at the big man!
Seeing that what he said was still a hexagram, the big man laughed twice, and did not follow Li Rizhi's words, but said: "Trouble the little brother, go and call the doctor to come out, I want to buy Bi Nan pills, buy two pills, if you really give birth to a son, then these two amounts of money will definitely be sent!" ”
"Buy two, it seems that you want to have twins, and you still want sons!" Li Rizhi said with a smile.
The big man said impatiently: "Little brother, don't say these irrelevant words to E, quickly call your family out!" He slapped the table with his hand.
He shouted loudly, even if Li Rizhi didn't call someone, then the real doctor inside would hear it, and he would naturally come out.
It's a pity that no one answered inside, but someone answered outside!
"Who is shouting here, I heard it all in the streets!" As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged scribe walked in from outside the medical hall.
The man was about forty years of age, of medium height, with well-trimmed features, a long beard, a beautifully trimmed beard, a black soft hat, a dark gray muslin robe, a folding fan in his hand, and a little scholar behind him.
When Li Rizhi saw this person, he immediately jumped up from behind the table and shouted, "Uncle, you're back!" There was joy in his tone.
When the big man heard this, he quickly turned around, and after seeing the middle-aged scribe, his face also showed a happy expression, he thought that this middle-aged scribe was the doctor here!
The big man immediately stepped forward, arched his hand at the middle-aged scribe, and said, "You are the doctor of this six-point medical hall, right?" I want to buy two pills with you, as long as my daughter-in-law gives birth to a son, I will send you the money, do you think it's okay! ”
When the middle-aged scribe heard this, he was slightly stunned, looked at the big man, and then at Li Rizhi, and saw that Li Rizhi was standing next to his lap, looking at himself with a little face!
The middle-aged scribe understood, and he smiled and said, "If you want to buy the Bi Nan Pill, you have to find this little divine doctor!" He pointed at Li Rizhi.
"Look for him, he's not a doctor! Could it be that you are not the doctor in this hospital either? The big man had an impatient expression on his face, and it was clear that he was not a person of good character.
The middle-aged scribe was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Of course this official is not a sitting doctor here, if you want to buy medicine, buy it quickly, don't be verbose here!" ”
The big man listened to the middle-aged scribe claiming to be his own official, and when he saw his leader, he thought, "Could it be that this person is an official?" ”
Immediately, the big man was a little stunned, and the common people were afraid of being an official these days, and he was no exception!
Li Rizhi ran to the counter and took out a beautiful box, this box was inlaid with gold and jade, which was a valuable thing at a glance, he opened the lid of the box and took out two pills sealed with wax.
The big man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "This is the good medicine that can give birth to a son?" ”
Li Rizhi nodded and said: "Exactly, if you can't give birth to a son, then you don't need money, Tong Su is not deceitful, and he will never cheat!" He handed the pill to the big man!
The big man in the shape of a man like a treasure, after carefully looking at the pill, then carefully put it into his arms, thanked Li Ri for knowing, and wanted to leave.
Li Rizhi suddenly said: "Your Qiaojia Village is too remote, but as long as you work hard, it is no problem to open up so many slope fields, as long as you use the strength of beating your wife on plowing the land, it is estimated that you will already have a hundred acres of land, and your son will not be scared away by you, and he will dare to be born in your family!" ”
The big man screamed, as if he was watching a ghost, looking at Li Rizhi, he said, "You, do you recognize it?" How do you know what's going on in the family? ”
Li Rizhi said: "You will be exposed to the light of your son-in-law in the future, I can't figure out which son-in-law it is, so when you choose a son-in-law, you must be cautious, a son-in-law is half a son, you can't pay too much attention to the eight characters of the birthday, you also have to look at the character, you can't listen to the matchmaker's nonsense!" ”
The big man was almost dumbfounded, looked at Li Rizhi with straight eyes, and stammered: "You, you, how do you know that you are looking for a son-in-law recently, how do you know that you have seen several birthdays in later generations?" How the hell do you know the ground? ”
"Heaven must not be leaked!" Li Rizhi picked up the "Book of Changes" on the table, shook it at the big man, and said: "I was going to calculate a hexagram for you just now, you don't need to, and now I can't calculate it for you, the time has passed, if you want to calculate it again, hurry up early next year!" ”
The big man opened his mouth wide and thought, "Hurry up early next year?" It doesn't just count as one hexagram a year, right? ”
He begged for a few more words, but Li Rizhi never ignored him anymore, his face was full of high-ranking people, and it was not uncommon to pay attention to your expression, and the big man had to leave gloomily, and I don't know if he would really rush to the hospital next year to tell his fortune!
After the Han left, the middle-aged scribe smiled and said: "I know, when did you start learning the Book of Changes, could it be that my brother-in-law didn't teach you medical skills, but he wanted to teach you how to start a hexagram?" ”
Li Rizhi grinned and said: "My father himself doesn't know how to tell hexagrams, how can he teach my nephew to learn!" ”
It turned out that this middle-aged scribe was Li Rizhi's uncle, named Zheng Gangling, Li Rizhi's mother, is his sister, he is the county commander of Xingyang County, a few days ago I went to the state to report on my work, and I just returned to the county today, and I specially wore civilian clothes to see my sister and brother-in-law, but I didn't want to see my nephew Li Rizhi first.
Zheng Gangling has always liked Li Rizhi, thinking that his nephew is smart, and he will have a big future in the future, maybe he can also be a jinshi, Zheng Gangling is not a jinshi, this is a pity for him, and among the close relatives, only Li Rizhi seems to be very promising, so naturally he has a lot of hope for him.
Zheng Gangling pointed to the door, in fact, at this time, the big man had already walked away, he said: "You don't know him, right, then how do you know where his family lives, and he still likes to beat his wife, in addition, how many acres of land does he have in his family, this will never be told to you as a child, unless you know in advance, how do you guess that he doesn't have a hundred acres of land?" ”
Li Rizhi is still young, and the ten-year-old child is the age when he likes to show off, and he really guessed correctly, so when he heard his uncle ask him, he was very proud, so he told him how he guessed and told him 1510.
Li Ri knew: "Actually, the man hasn't entered the hospital yet, and his nephew saw him, and saw that he came from the small temple, and he came to the hospital in a hurry, or he still wanted to buy Bi Nan pills, well, this pill was newly researched by my nephew, and he claimed that he could give birth to a son if he ate it, and he didn't want money if he didn't want money, so he must have failed to ask for a son, so he came to the hospital to try his luck." ”
Zheng Gangling hummed and said, "This is a good guess, but the pill you newly researched is a fake medicine, right?" ”
After saying this, Zheng Gangling suddenly laughed, pointed at Li Rizhi and said: "You naughty child, you actually make such a joke on the person who asks for a child, be careful that they figure it out, and run to the hospital to settle accounts with you!" ”
The matter of Bi Nan Pill is very easy to figure out, Li Rizhi first gave the pill to the person who asked for a child, did not collect money first, but collected money after giving birth to a child, gave him consistent money when he gave birth to a son, and did not need to give him money if he gave birth to a daughter, but no matter who gave birth to a child, it was either a boy or a girl, even if it was a dragon and phoenix fetus, there was also a boy, and the chance of having a son was half and half!
Therefore, Li Rizhi has half the chance to recover the medicine money, and the other half of the people who gave birth to daughters, because they don't have to give him money, naturally there is no financial loss, they can only say that his medicine is not effective, but they will not come to ask him to pay back the money, no money is no account, and naturally he will not settle accounts with him!
Li Rizhi chuckled: "Nephew, I've been selling this Bi Nan Pill for a while, but no one has come to look for trouble. Uncle, didn't you ask me how I would know where he lived, it was because he looked up at the signboard of my family's medical hall, if he was from the city, he would naturally know the name of my family's medical hall, but he didn't know, it means that he is not from the city, but he came to the temple in the city to ask for a son, which means that he is from this county, and the only place in this county without a temple is Qiaojia Village! ”
Zheng Gangling looked at Li Rizhi, nodded and said, "Yes, your inference is reasonable, and you are right, and then continue." ”
Li Rizhi said again: "He wears a robe made of satin, which means that the family has some money, but it is half-old, and it can be seen that he will not wear this dress if he does not go out, only when he goes out, for example, when he goes into the city, he will wear such good clothes, so he will not be very rich, and seeing that his hands are very rough, it means that he also has to work in the field, it is impossible to be a rich man with a hundred acres of fertile land, not to mention that Qiaojia Village is mountainous, and there can be dozens of acres of slope fields, even if he is a rich household!" ”
Zheng Gang sighed and nodded again and again, he felt more and more that his nephew was far superior to children of the same age in terms of intelligence and wisdom, and clearer than the minds of many adults, as if the pushers in his yamen were not as powerful as Li Rizhi in terms of reasoning.
"Then how can you guess that he hit his wife?" Zheng Gangling asked again.
Li Rizhi snorted and said: "Look at his anxious appearance, he knocked on the table without saying a few words, his temper is so bad, and he wants to have a son and wants to ask God to buy medicine, then his wife didn't give him a son, can he not beat people, so his nephew persuaded him not to beat his wife anymore, and who said that his daughter is useless, as long as he marries a good son-in-law, maybe it will be more effective than his son!" ”
Li Rizhi was full of words, and he spoke the truth, Zheng Gangling was happy to hear it, but the little scholar behind him was stupid, and he didn't understand what Li Rizhi was guessing at all!
In the memory of the little scholar, Li Rizhi is obviously a slug, he only knows what to eat, and he runs around the streets, he is a naughty little guy, far worse than him, when did he become so chattering, and can make the county magistrate so happy?
Zheng Gangling touched Li Rizhi's head with a smile and said: "You are a good seedling of Zhongjinshi, your uncle is very much looking forward to your future, you can't mess around in this medical hall anymore, you have to go to the yamen with your uncle, and your uncle will teach you to read in person!" ”
Zheng Gang was extremely satisfied with Li Rizhi's reasoning ability, he didn't think much of it before, but today he was very happy, and he began to look forward to Li Rizhi's future, and he was willing to contribute!
