Chapter 26 Examination skills
As soon as he heard that he could make money, Gongsun He calmed down, there were also women who came to him to tell fortunes before, but they were all kiln sisters in some low-grade kilns, and there were few such high-end ** women looking for him, after all, if these people want to tell fortunes, they will generally go to the fortune hall to ask those so-called half-immortal gods to count, and they will not go to the roadside stalls to ask him to count the poor old men of the hexagram stalls.
Gongsun He has been poor all his life, he has no money, so naturally he can't marry a daughter-in-law, and he doesn't even have the money to find a **woman for a night**. Not to mention entering the **, I even have to bow my head from the door, I didn't expect that I would go to the ** inside to tell people fortunes today.
He listened to what the middle-aged man said, but there was some truth in it, he told fortunes and took money, and he didn't come to visit the kiln to spend money to find women, so what to worry about.
So, as soon as Gongsun He gritted his teeth, he took Yi Xingchen to follow the middle-aged man in black shirt into the **.
The man led them to the door of a relatively remote room on the first floor, pushed the door open, smiled and said to a woman inside, "Xinghua girl, Mr. Gongsun has invited you." ”
Yi Xingchen raised his eyes and saw a woman lying on a gorgeous soft floor in the room, wearing a pink long skirt, holding cloud temples, her face was covered with a thick powder, and her curved willow eyebrows were drawn.
There are two large pots of fires in the corner of the house, although it is spring now, it is still very cold in the morning and evening, ** women are thinly dressed, and people who come will also loosen their clothes and untie their belts, so naturally the stove is indispensable.
After hearing the middle-aged man speak, the Xinghua girl looked up at them, and didn't get up, just beckoned them to come in, and then said to a little maid next to her, "Reward!" ”
The little maid went into the back room to get the money bag, took out ten cents, and handed it to the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is the ** turtle father, entrusted by the apricot blossom girl, to ask Gongsun He to tell his fortune. The turtle took the reward, thanked him with a smile, and withdrew to close the door.
Gongsun He stood in the hall with Yi Xingchen, a little at a loss.
The maid brought two round stools wrapped in embroidered brocade and invited them to sit down, and made tea.
The Xinghua girl glanced at the two of them and said to Gongsun He, "The old man is Mr. Gongsun, who is a fortune teller?" ”
Gongsun He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her: "It's the old decay." ”
The Xinghua girl smiled slightly, glanced at Yi Xingchen from the corner of her eye, and then fell on Gongsun He, and said, "I heard that the old gentleman is very accurate in his fortune telling?" ”
"It's okay, thank you girl." Gongsun Hehan smiled, but his eyes were lowered and he didn't dare to look at the other party.
Yi Xingchen is not as restrained as his master. Because the Apricot Blossom Girl didn't look at him much except for glancing at him when she came in, after all, the boy he crossed and possessed was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and in the eyes of the Apricot Blossom Girl, he was only a half-old child, and he couldn't arouse her interest.
Yi Xingchen has seen too many girls wearing heavy makeup in modern society, and modern makeup technology and cosmetics far exceed those of the Ming Dynasty, so it is really not easy for women to see their age after dressing up in modern society. But the Ming Dynasty is different, this apricot blossom girl wears heavy makeup, and she looks beautiful, but under Yi Xingchen's eyes like a torch, she still sees that his age is at least in his thirties, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are difficult to remove in the Ming Dynasty, and her age has been exposed.
The Xinghua girl smiled slightly, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes became more obvious: "Mr. Gongsun, my maid saw you in Haichuan Pharmacy yesterday to find something for a chubby man, and she really found it." After the maid came back and told me, I realized that there was still a master like Mr. in our Tunzhou hidden in the market, which was really surprising. I also like fortune telling, in the past, the people who invited were self-proclaimed masters and half-immortals, but most of them were not effective, like Mr. who can accurately find things by divination, I really haven't met anyone. Those people rely on their mouths to coax people to cheat money, and Mr. is the one who is really capable. ”
Only then did Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen know that it turned out that the maid of the apricot blossom girl saw Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen at the Haichuan Pharmacy last night about Gongsun He and Yi Xingchen telling the fortune of Jia Fatzi to find his land deed. At that time, there were indeed a lot of people in the pharmacy, and there were a few girls who looked like them, but at that time, Yi Xingchen and Gongsun He didn't look carefully, so they didn't know if the maid of Xinghua Girl was also among them.
Yi Xingchen turned his face to look at the maid who was making tea just now. The little maid smiled and said, "Yes, last night I saw you in the pharmacy to tell the fat man's fortunes, and you really found the Tian Qi that the fat man was looking for, and we were all stunned." When I came back, I told the girl, and the girl was full of praise. It just so happens that our girl has something to divide, so today I have to ask Mr. to come, and I want to ask Mr. to calculate a hexagram and calculate our girl's marriage, hehehe......"
"Mouthy!" The apricot blossom girl blushed and scolded, and the maid hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hands, and stepped aside with a smile.
The apricot blossom girl smiled again and said to Gongsun He: "Don't hide it, I've been in ** for many years, I'm really tired of the fireworks days, and now, the money for redemption has almost been saved, but my intended person has not appeared, and I am a little anxious." I heard that Mr. Gongsun's fortune calculation is so magical, so please come and calculate a hexagram, just like my maid said just now, I want to ask when my marriage will come? ”
Gongsun He smiled and nodded, turned to Yi Xingchen and said, "Bring the rice." ”
I heard that I was going to go to the door to tell the hexagram, so Yi Xingchen had already followed the habit of going to the door to tell the hexagram in his memory, and when he took the things from the hexagram stall home, he carried a small bag of rice with him for the hexagram. Hearing Master's order, he quickly took it out and put it on the coffee table.
The apricot blossom girl sat up straight. She used to count hexagrams, knew the rules, and was just about to reach out to the bag to get rice, but suddenly retracted her hand again, looked at Gongsun He and said: "It's not that I don't believe Mr., after all, hearing is false and seeing is believing, I still want to test Mr., please help me calculate a hexagram, if this hexagram is accurate, and then ask Mr. to count my life's events, I will believe it, I don't know if Mr. is willing?" ”
Gongsun He said: "Okay, what is the matter with the girl going to take the school entrance examination?" ”
The apricot blossom girl rolled her eyes, beckoned the maid over, and whispered a few words in her ear. The maid smiled and nodded, and walked quickly into the back room. In a moment, a black lacquered box with a lid came out and placed it on the coffee table.
The Xinghua girl said, "Mr. Gongsun, please take a hexagram and see what is in my box?" ――You don't need to say exactly what it is, no one can do it, unless it's a god. It only takes Mr. Gongsun to figure out the types of things inside, such as melons and fruits, coins, clothing, and so on. ”
Gongsun He is a little weak-hearted, this is a test, but the hexagram can be seen, as for whether it is accurate or not, it is another matter. He nodded and said, "Just ask the girl to make rice." ”
The apricot blossom girl reached out and grabbed two handfuls from the rice bag, put them on the plate, and when she was about to grab the third handful, Gongsun He stopped: "No need, since it's just guessing things, you don't need to exchange hexagrams and change hexagrams, you just need to use the body hexagram and the use of the hexagram, so you only need to catch it twice, and the number of the two times is taken from the upper and lower hexagrams respectively, plus the time to determine the movement, you can know what is inside." ”
After Gongsun He counted the grains of rice, he sorted them according to the eight trigrams, and then obtained a copy of the hexagram, taking the number of hours plus the number of the first two hexagrams and dividing them by six to get the moving line. The upper hexagram is the Xun hexagram, and the lower hexagram is the redemption hexagram.
Gongsun He examined the hexagram, and the original hexagram representing the person seeking the hexagram is the Xunmu hexagram, and the Xun hexagram is the meaning of the eldest daughter, which is in line with the woman's age, indicating that this hexagram is accurate. The hexagram that represents the object of divination is the gold hexagram, and in the image of all things, the hexagram also has the meaning of gold, so it should be metal.
So, Gongsun He pondered for a moment and decided to say it according to the hexagram, right or not only depends on God's meaning.
He was about to say that it was copper and iron and other metals inside, but Yi Xingchen next to him preemptively said: "Master, this hexagram is a hexagram, and the hexagram represents jewelry, and the box should be jewelry!" ”
"You guessed it! If it's really jewelry, it's amazing! The little maid stroked her palms in surprise and exclaimed, and reached out to open the food box, which was a jade bracelet, the jade quality was excellent, and it seemed that the price was very expensive.
