013 The Charlatans: The Living Don't Make Dead Man's Money
At the entrance of Sandai Street, Wei Shui sat down on the steps, and the hexagram banner of "the iron mouth is straight off, and a hexagram is a thousand gold" is supported aside. The www.biquge.info is different from any fortune teller in ancient times, but it is very much like a charlatan sitting on the side of the street in the modern day.
In this world, most of the people still believe in this. However, there are many who write straight and straightforward, and few who dare to say a thousand gold. Scarcity is expensive, so on the first day, there were always a lot of onlookers throughout the day. However, when Wei Shui first arrived, he directly wrote a hexagram, and most of the people watched from the sidelines, but few dared to come forward to try.
But in the early morning of the next day, when the stall was about to close, such an incident happened, so that Wei Shui, who had just set up a hexagram stall, let alone the guests, and there were no onlookers.
Here's the thing.
Wei Shui studied Zhou Yi gossip, Qimen Dunjia and other Jianghu crafts, although he was said to be a liar, and most of the so-called fortune tellers were even guessed. But after all, he has really memorized a lot of ancient books, and there have always been a few times, and he is very confident in the results he calculated. At such times, he often chooses to trust his own judgment and not change it at will as the guest reacts.
Early the next morning, he received his fifth business. It was a young man named Ke Dinggong, who was born at noon on the eighth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Hongzhi. Dressed in ordinary clothes, but with a sense of luxury. There are no hard calluses on his hands, so he should not be engaged in physical activities, but like a young master of a rich family.
Wei Shui arranged a fortune telling for him and looked at it carefully. Originally, he was thinking about how to take out a few more of his eldest sons, which could be regarded as 'robbing the rich and helping the poor', but the more he looked at this plate, the more he felt that his first feeling was right. So, all the extortionists and other things were left behind, and he gave the young man a final conclusion very firmly.
"This young master, say something that doesn't matter. In your parents' palace, the greedy wolf is jealous of seeing Hongluan, and the eight-character bias is double punishment, which is enough to see that you are a concubine. ”
As soon as Wei Shui's words came out, Ke Dinggong's eyes widened.
"What do you mean by a concubine?" Ke Dinggong's eyes were on fire, and he looked very scary.
But Wei Shui firmly believed that he was absolutely not mistaken, so it was doomed that Ke Dinggong would be useless even if he stared out his eyes. Wei Shui calmly explained to him: "I mean, you were born to Ling Zun's concubine......
"You talk nonsense!" Ke Dinggong immediately went into a frenzy, and it didn't count as a shout of anger, but he actually hit Wei Shui's face directly with a fist. Immediately after that, he stepped forward and punched and kicked. Wei Shui held his head, lay on the ground and shrunk into a ball, letting Ke Dinggong move indiscriminately, neither silently nor dodging.
In this era of attaching great importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines, Wei Shui said that Ke Dinggong was a concubine, which was equivalent to scolding him. Otherwise, why do you always scold people and say, the little lady raised it, the little lady raised it? That's it!
Before being beaten, Wei Shui knew the consequences, but occasionally he would commit such a stubborn temper, who was to blame?
Ke Dinggong had enough of scolding, and spat at Wei Shui angrily before turning around and leaving. When I met people, I said that Wei Shui was a liar, he didn't say anything about money, and he didn't even have a nice word! That's it, Wei Shui has no business.
However, despite having no business, Wei Shui still sits here every day. He firmly believed that Ke Dinggong would definitely come back to him. Because on that day, there was something more serious, and he hadn't said it yet!
The sun was three poles, and Wei Shui raised his head to face the scorching sun. After a while, he closed his eyes and yawned. Shrinking up, he was about to fall asleep, but he was awakened by a chaotic and rapid sound of footsteps!
Ke Dinggong ran to the corner of the street, and many people who knew about the incident a few days ago involuntarily gathered around, ready to watch the excitement. But he didn't want to, this guy ran to Wei Shui's hexagram stall, didn't smash it, didn't hit it, and knelt down on the street towards Wei Shui.
"Sir, help!" Ke Dinggong shouted this, and tears flowed down involuntarily.
Wei Shui was stunned for a moment, then reacted, couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said, "You came to me at this time, why don't you stay with Ling Zun for a while." But...... Looking at the time, Ling Zun should have gone. People can't be resurrected after death, and the festival mourns and changes! ”
Ke Dinggong knelt on the ground, crying incessantly.
The onlookers couldn't help but whisper. Many of them knew Ke Dinggong, the only son of Ke Yuanwai, a well-known grain merchant in Shaoxing Prefecture. There are few people in the family, except for Ke Yuan and his wife, only Ke Dinggong. Moreover, Ke Yuan is afraid of the outside and never takes a concubine. So that day, Wei Shui said that Ke Dinggong was a concubine, and in the eyes of everyone, it was a joke!
You can see what is happening in front of you...... Everyone can see that Wei Shui can calculate it, and there must be no mistakes!
Ke Dinggong didn't know how long he cried, until his voice was hoarse, then he choked and stopped, and looked at Wei Shui, who was sitting on the steps looking at him. While sobbing, he said the matter, "Sir, I ...... I can't stand you! On that day, I only saw that you were a beggar, and I despised you. Listen to me again...... Saying that I am a concubine is a moment of anger, which offends you. When I returned home that day, I learned that my father had gone to Tianfu to ask for debts, because instead of giving the money, Tian Xufei had spoken ill of my father. I asked Lang Zhong to come and see it, but they all said that the end was approaching and he had no power to return to the sky. Just now, my dad told me that I ...... I really am...... Sir, please save my father no matter what!"
Disasters in the world always happen very quickly. Catch people off guard! What Wei Shui didn't say that day was that there would be a big disaster in their family, not only Ke Yuan, but even Mrs. Ke, I am afraid that they would not be spared. But the person in front of him is auspicious, except for the loss of his parents, there should be no other twists and turns.
"Young Master Ke, with all due respect, it's too late for anything. I advise you to go home early, otherwise, not only will you not be able to see Ling Zun's last face, but I am afraid that one of Ling Tang's lives will also be transferred away by the King of Hades! Seeing Ke Dinggong's slightly suspicious look, Wei Shui smiled, "Otherwise, the little one will accompany you, right?" If not, you can do whatever you want with me! If you get it......"
Ke Dinggong looked at Wei Shui, waiting for his offer.
Wei Shui smiled and said, "If it's approved, I won't take a penny." It's true that a hexagram is a thousand gold, but that's only worth a thousand gold. Walking the rivers and lakes is to watch people collect money. I don't make the money of the dead! What's more, I can't handle this matter with you. Since it can't help you solve the problem and collect money, it doesn't make sense! ”
