Just when he was puzzled, Aunt Liu had already smiled and thanked her, then sat back at her stall and began to beckon passers-by to buy her food.

When she saw people walking by, she had to say enthusiastically: "Uncle, buy vegetables, just picked from the ground, fresh and watery, big brother, buy a handful of vegetables and go back, cheap, a handful is only a penny." ”

She kept greeting. But none of the people who walked by stopped to look at the greens.

When Aunt Liu beckoned passers-by to buy vegetables, Yi Xingchen also stood in front of the hexagram stall and loudly beckoned passers-by to tell the hexagram according to the memories left by the apprentices in his mind. Of course, he is not like some fortune tellers who pull others to say that the other party has a disaster, scare the other party, and force the other party to sit down and tell the fortune telling.

In the inherited memory, Gongsun He said that such a thing is against the way of heaven, and they only rely on their ability to honestly calculate hexagrams to make money. Therefore, Yi Xingchen just kept calling uncle, uncle, aunt sweetly, calculating hexagrams, very smart and so on.

However, his mouth was dry, and no one sat down to tell them fortunes.

In the memory left by that apprentice, there were still many people who told fortunes at this time in the Ming Dynasty, and it became a common practice in the court to discuss numerology. Therefore, most of the people who really sit on the roadside fortune-telling booths to predict the bad fortune are illiterate poor people, and these people will not spend money on fortune-telling until the last resort, although the calculation of a hexagram is only five cents. But for the poor people, even a penny is precious.

The sun is turning westward, and it has been an hour since Aunt Liu picked up the burden to sell vegetables.

Aunt Liu was a little breathless, looked at Gongsun He complainingly and said, "Sir, didn't you say that my vegetables will be sold soon, and I will make a profit?" Why has it been more than an hour, and there is no one to ask? When I picked my vegetables in the morning, they were fresh, but now they are all wilted, and I can't sell them anymore, and I have to go back to the cemetery in the dark, and I am scared to death. ”

Gongsun He said: "What's the hurry, my hexagram won't be wrong, someone will come to buy your food soon." Business, we have to wait, I and I have been from noon to now, almost two hours, and it hasn't opened yet. Except for a free hexagram for you, no one will come to me to tell the hexagram, and I don't know who to ask to spit out my bitterness. ”

After almost an hour, seeing that the sun was gradually setting on the eaves of the west, and further down, it was about to set, Aunt Liu was even more anxious, and began to complain about Gongsun He, saying that he was inaccurate in his calculations, and he would harm himself to a game.

Gongsun He was very depressed, blowing his beard and glaring at his eyes, but he couldn't help it.

Seeing the sunset, if I don't go back, I'm afraid it will be midnight before I get home.

Aunt Liu said to Gongsun He angrily: "Fortune teller!" I'm looking at you confiscating my money and telling me for nothing, if you take my money, I have to ask you to return it. What is this hexagram of yours? Said that I could sell it sooner and still make money, but no one has come to buy it until now, and the vegetables are wilted, can I still sell it for money? Really, -- or else, I'll sell it to you cheaply, I'm too lazy to pick it back, and I can't sell it tomorrow if I pick it up and pick it home. Cheaper for you, ten cents, half price, five cents sold to you. ”

Gongsun He smiled bitterly, he did have five cents in his pocket, which he was going to buy for his apprentice and himself. So he could only smile bitterly and shake his head and say: "I don't have money to buy your food, unless I open it, I won't have money, it looks like it's going to be dark, I'm afraid I can't open it, and I won't be able to celebrate the Midyear Festival today." ”

"What kind of mid-year festival is there, I will carry the burden back and go back to the cemetery! It's been eight lifetimes of blood mold, why is this business so difficult to do? My family is still waiting for me to sell vegetables, buy a piece of pork skin or something to go back for the holidays. ”

"Do you still eat pork skin? Tsk, our master and apprentice haven't touched lard for more than half a month, what can you eat pigskin, and what do you care about people who haven't even touched the oil star? ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Liu was a little angry, stood up with a sigh, and said to Gongsun He: "I said that it is not right for you to say this, if I hadn't heard your nonsense just now, if I can't sell it in an hour, I will immediately change to another place, maybe I will sell it, or in other words, I can't sell it in an hour, so I will pick it back and eat it myself, and I don't have to go through the cemetery in the dark." Now that I hear your words, the sun is about to set and I haven't sold it yet, so I can only go back in the dark, passing by the cemetery, and I will be frightened by ghosts, and the medicine will have to be paid by you! ”

Gongsun He saw that she was angry, and he didn't call him husband, but "fortune teller", and he was also a little angry, so he stood up and said, "I said that the vegetable seller, what is your reasoning?" I will confiscate a penny from you if I tell you a fortune, do you believe it or not, or do you beg me to calculate it for you, and now you say the other way about me, and let me pay for the medicine, what is going on? ”

"Even if I don't pay a penny, if you don't speak accurately, you will hurt me, - can you ignore people if you don't take money?"

"Fortune telling is just to help you make up your mind, and you have to make your own ideas on how to do it. You can't blame me, can you? ”

Aunt Liu crossed her waist and said, "I don't care!" It's all because you hurt me, I haven't sold it until now, this dish is sold to you, I won't blackmail you, it sells for ten yuan at noon, I only need half price and five yuan now, give me a capital, and I'll leave, otherwise, you don't want to leave! ”

Gongsun He saw that she was relying on herself, she really couldn't cry or laugh, seeing the onlookers staring at her, and it was not good to argue with a girl on the street, so she could only say angrily: "I haven't opened since noon, how can I have the money to buy your food?" But today is the Midyear Festival, if I can open and make some money before I close the stall, I'll buy your food. When our master and apprentice go home for the festival, there is no meat, so eating some vegetables is also a festival. ”

By this time, the sun had set, and the sky was full of colorful clouds.

Looking at the colorful glow in the sky, Yi Xingchen's heart suddenly moved, and he somewhat understood what was going on with the hexagram flashing in his mind just now.

There are eight hexagrams of plum blossom easy number, which are dry, dui, separated, shocked, Xun, kan, gen, and kun, which represent a number of meanings, which are called all things. The interpreter is looking for the heavenly opportunity to interpret the hexagram from the meaning of each of these hexagrams.

What flashed in my mind before was the hexagram from the fire, and the hexagram has the meaning of Caixia in the plum blossom and the image of all things. Does that mean that Aunt Liu's greens can't be sold until the evening when the sky is full of color?

He was pondering here, and the two of them, Gongsun He and Aunt Liu, quarreled with each other, causing many people to stop and watch, and laugh from time to time.

At this time, a big fat man from the onlookers came out and said, "Okay, you two don't quarrel, don't you just pay five cents." Mr. fortune teller, I will ask you to calculate a hexagram and give you five cents, and you will have money to buy her vegetables, and she will be able to go home. I am a kind-hearted person who does good deeds. With that, he took out the five coins and slapped them on the wooden box in front of Gongsun He.

Gongsun He and Aunt Liu were immediately overjoyed, and they hurriedly thanked each other. The people around looked at the fat man in admiration, and even said that he was a kind person.

Gongsun He was about to bend down to pick up the money, but Aunt Liu was much faster than him, grabbed the five cents in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sir, five cents, no more, no less, two clear." The dish is yours! These dishes are ten cents, and if you are given half price, you will take advantage of the boss. Hee-hee. ”

Seeing this scene, Yi Xingchen had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and it was really so! It was fulfilled! The detached hexagram flashing in my mind really indicated that the time of fulfillment was the evening when the evening was full of colorful clouds, and at this time Aunt Liu's green vegetables were sold.

At this moment, looking back at the six three-dimensional hexagrams in my mind, the body hexagram is a shock hexagram, which means to be angry and angry, wasn't Aunt Liu angry just now? The hexagram that represents the object of divination is the hexagram of leaving the fire, the wood makes a fire, and the leak is out, and the main culprit is a small culprit, which means that it cannot make money in business. Aunt Liu's ten yuan of green vegetables was only sold for five yuan, and she really didn't make any money, which was completely consistent with the hexagram!

The result of the hexagram in his mind is completely different from the result of Gongsun He's interpretation of the hexagram. Gongsun He's interpretation of the hexagram is normal according to the method of plum blossom easy to count, looking at the relationship between the body hexagram and the use of the hexagram, the result obtained is Kan Shui Shengzhenmu, the lord is auspicious, so the master came to the conclusion that it will be sold soon and make money.

But according to the result of the fire flashing in his mind, Zhenmu will delay for a long time to sell it, and he won't make any money.
