Generally speaking, Master Gongsun He goes to tell hexagrams in the morning, and he will not go at dawn, because no one has so much leisure to tell hexagrams at dawn, so he almost always has breakfast and rests for a while, and when it is almost noon, there are more people on the street, so he goes to the street to tell hexagrams, so he at least has more than an hour to verify this matter for himself.
As soon as the sky was hazy, he immediately got up and got dressed, and without disturbing the master, he went out lightly. Walk briskly towards the West Side.
According to the hexagram that appeared in Yi Xingchen's mind when Peng Qingchen was calculating the hexagram before, the lower hexagram represented due west, so he went west to find it. He walked all the way forward, and walked very fast. There were no people on the streets early in the morning.
After walking a few streets, he saw an old man in front of him dragging a dung cart, slowly walking over, shaking a copper bell in his hand from time to time, and Ding Lingdang rattled. This manure truck is specially used to collect the toilets used by the houses and businesses along the street at night.
The dung truck creaked forward on the potholed bluestone pavement under the vigorous drag of the old man. Suddenly, the wheel got stuck in a small pit, because it was already loaded with most of the car's dung water, and it was so heavy that the old man could not drag it out for a while.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly ran forward and helped him push the dung truck behind him, and finally, pushed the heavy dung truck out of the small pit on the ground.
The old man looked back to Yi Xingchen gratefully and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "Old man, it's really hard to come out early in the morning to work." ”
The old man shook his head helplessly: "No way, for the sake of livelihood, how can you have the money to support your family if you don't come out to work?" ”
Yi Xingchen asked: "Old man, there is something I want to ask, do you know where the well is being built in this area of Xicheng?" ”
The old man walked the streets and alleys every morning to collect manure water, of course he knew, and said: "There is a well in Tongluo Hutong, and the well has collapsed for some reason, and the craftsmen are rebuilding the stones, so that section of the road is not easy to walk, and the stones are piled up." ”
The old man said that the Causeway Hutong is a relatively large alley, and Yi Xingchen inherited it in his memory, so he was happy in his heart, thanked him repeatedly, and walked briskly towards the Causeway Hutong.
When he came to the mouth of the alley, he heard the sound of clanging inside, and when he looked up, he saw that there were several craftsmen beating stones not far from the alley, and there were many stones piled up next to them.
Yi Xingchen slowly walked into the alley, and sure enough, he saw a well, and half of the stones in it had been built. The water wheels were poured aside.
This place is where the owner of the silver white lotus flower is located.
The hexagram of the three-dimensional water wind well hexagram in Yi Xingchen's mind, the fourth line is flashing, suggesting that he should think from this, and the fourth line of the "Book of Changes" is written "Jing Zhen, no blame." It means that wells are built without plague. That is, he reminded that a well was being built next to the person he was looking for, so just now he asked the old man who was towing the manure truck where the well was being built, and sure enough, he asked and found this place.
He looked up and landed on a large mansion not far in front of the well. At first glance, this mansion is newly built, and the windows are bright and bright. Yi Xingchen immediately locked his attention on this bright mansion. Because, the upper mutual hexagram of the water wind well hexagram in my mind is the fire hexagram, which represents the bright mansion.
In this way, the owner of the white lotus should be in this mansion. Of course, Yi Xingchen wouldn't step forward to knock on the door, and he couldn't believe that his use of fortune-telling to interpret dreams was really effective, so he just came today to see the situation.
So he sat down on a piece of stone beside the stonemasons, and looked around boredly, sometimes looking at the stonemasons beating stones, and there were many people in the city who were so bored and idle, so the stonemasons were not surprised at all, and no one looked at him, and continued to be busy making stones.
Yi Xingchen waited for nearly an hour, but the door of the mansion never opened, and no sound came out, as if it was an empty mansion with no people.
Yi Xingchen looked at the time, it was almost time to go back to set up a stall with his master, so he had to get up and leave and return to his residence.
Master Gongsun He had already gotten up, had breakfast, and the two of them went out to tell fortunes.
As soon as they set up the hexagram stall, someone came to tell the hexagram, and both the master and apprentice were very happy.
The divination of the fortune-teller was that his man always ignored her. At home, it was as if she didn't exist. After calculating the hexagram, judging from the hexagram, the body hexagram representing the woman is the Kanshui hexagram, so Gongsun He told the woman who divided the hexagram that because she talked too much, she kept talking like a chicken woman, and her man was annoying, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her.
After the man had calculated the hexagram and left, until noon, no one came to tell the hexagram. I made this five cents, but it's still very good to be able to open. At noon, the master and apprentice divided a piece of cooking cake and ate it with water.
After lunch, I saw Aunt Liu carrying a handful of vegetables and hurriedly coming over from the other side of the street. When she arrived at the old place where she used to sell vegetables, she put down her pick, wiped her sweat, and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun, hexagram!" ”
Gongsun He just nodded lightly, but Yi Xingchen stood up happily and said, "Aunt Liu, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, thanks to you for taking me to Haichuan Pharmacy to see a doctor, it's really cold, after I went back to take a pair of medicines, I was worried that I would be afraid of cold at night, but at night, although I was really a little afraid of cold, but it was much better than the first night. So, I was a little convinced that I was indeed sick. I took medicine for another day, and as a result, last night, after sweating, I woke up this morning and was in good spirits. Only then did I believe that you said that I was not evil, because I kept running that day, sweating profusely, being blown by the mountain wind, catching a cold, and after taking medicine, I was completely cured. Fortunately, you reminded my aunt, otherwise, I gritted my teeth and took five buckets of rice to ask those Taoist priests to do something for me, not only would my health not be good, but I would have lost five buckets of rice in vain. Then I don't have a place to cry. Hehe,—— come, hexagram, give you this to eat! ”
Aunt Liu said, took out something wrapped in a blue cloth bag from the dustpan, and handed it to Yi Xingchen. Yi Xingchen curiously took it and opened it, but there were some wild fruits inside. Yi Xingchen looked at it with an appetite, and asked in surprise: "Where did it come from?" ”
"Of course I picked it on the road, I climbed up the cliff to pick it. The roadside has long been picked by others, and I look at this fruit very well, so I can say a little thank you for picking it for you to taste. ”
Gongsun He pursed his lips and said, "Picking some wild fruits is also called thanks?" You can say it. ”
Aunt Liu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun, don't treat me as such a picky person, today I will pick half of the vegetables for you, and half of them will be sold, and this half of the vegetables is a little thank you from me, so it's always okay, right?" ”
Gongsun He's old face showed a slight smile, glanced at her and said, "Forget it, you spent half a day and picked such a long way into the city to sell vegetables, and you only sold a dozen yuan, and gave away half of it, what else do you earn?" The family also pointed to you selling vegetables for some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to go back, if you have this heart, I am already happy. ”
Aunt Liu smiled and said: "I know that Mr. Gongsun has a good heart, and you master and apprentice are both kind-hearted people, thank you, otherwise, the dirty clothes of the two of you, I will take them back to wash." After washing, I'll bring you the vegetables next time, believe me or not? ”
Gongsun He shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's so strange and troublesome, if you go back and take care of the old and take care of the young, and then wash our clothes, then there will be no time to rest." Besides, our master and apprentice only have two sets of clothes each, and we can just wash them ourselves. Your kindness is appreciated. ”
This time, Aunt Liu's vegetables were sold very quickly, and in less than half an hour, the two picks of vegetables were sold out, and she earned more than ten yuan, so she was happy, and took out two yuan and handed it to Yi Xingchen and said, "Come, this is the candy that Auntie bought for you to eat, take it." ”
Yi Xingchen hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, but Aunt Liu always insisted, stuffed the two pennies in his arms, picked up the empty basket, and walked away quickly with a smile.
Perhaps it was the luck brought by these two cents, not long after Aunt Liu left, two people came to tell the hexagram and earned another ten cents. In the evening, they counted three trigrams in total and earned fifteen wen, which was very good.
After closing the stall and returning to his residence, Yi Xingchen heated the meal, and the two of them ate. Yi Xingchen washed the dishes and chopsticks, saw that the sun had just set, and there was still afterglow in the sky, so he told the master that he was going out for a walk, so he went out.
Naturally, he was going to the mansion in Xicheng that was repairing a well, and continued to wait for the owner of the white lotus.
