Chapter 5 Fortune telling
In the evening, in the courtyard of the Zhang family, everyone gathered around a table lively, accompanied by the afterglow of the sunset, adding a lot of warm color to the cheeks of the Zhang family.
"While everyone is gathered, I announce a happy event. Chen took the posture of the head of the family and looked at everyone.
At this time, everyone at the table stopped their chopsticks and stared at Chen intently. Li and Zhang Laosi also stopped their chopsticks, sat with serious faces, and sat upright.
"I discussed with your aunt, and I am going to say goodbye to your eldest brother and Cuicui, and now it depends on your two children's own wishes. Chen looked at Zhang Tianyou and Zhang Cuicui as he spoke, with a happy smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to change my name to sister-in-law now!" Zhang Wanyi covered her mouth and snickered.
"The eldest brother has a daughter-in-law, the eldest brother has a daughter-in-law..." It is also strange to say that the hat man has been coming to Zhang's house for some time, but he has never mentioned his name, nor has he taken the hat on his head.
After listening to Chen's words, coupled with everyone's ridicule, Cuicui's face turned red, chopped her feet, and ran away with a red glow on her face.
"Boss, what do you think of Cuicui? While your Uncle Zhang and aunt are here. Chen said to Zhang Tianyou.
"Mother, I think Cuicui is very good!" Zhang Tianyou scratched his head a little embarrassed after speaking.
"Okay, it's easy to do with your words!" Regarding Zhang Tianyou's answer, Chen was still quite satisfied.
"Auntie, then you will ask Cuicui later, if Cuicui has no opinion, let's find a good day to handle this matter?"
"Boss, you say!" Li stabbed Zhang Laosi with his hand.
"Okay, I don't think there's a problem!" Zhang Laosi replied with a serious face.
... ...
The next day, Zhang Tianyou was preparing to go out to work as usual. But as soon as he walked out of the door, he heard the sound of gongs and drums, and saw a man dressed as a servant shouting while walking with a gong. It's just that it's a little far away, and I can't hear it very clearly.
"Godless, it's out of the slope?"
This is Uncle Guo not far from next door, and when the two of them went out of the slope, they met and said hello.
Although the Zhang family has assets in Shiban Village, they are not as lazy as other landlords, starting from his father Zhang Guodong, the work on the field has never been slack.
"Uncle, what are you going to do this morning?" Zhang Tianyou said to the person who greeted him.
"It seems to say that there is a great drought in the north, and the displaced people have run to the boundary of Jiuyang County, and people from the county have publicized that everyone should pay attention to safety at ordinary times and not go out casually at night, so as not to cause trouble. ”
"Doesn't the imperial court provide disaster relief?"
"Who knows?"
"Every year, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is estimated that the imperial court does not have so much money and food! Hey, don't talk about it, I'm going out of the slope, and I can't finish it when I'm late! Let's drink together when it's empty!" The man walked away with a hoe on his shoulder.
"Hey, this world..."Zhang Tianyou sighed, touched the bun tied to his waist, and said secretly: "Fortunately, my breakfast is still there." "It's a bit of a blessing.
... ...
In the courtyard of Zhang's house, everyone has already gotten up.
The third child, Zhang Tianliang, was forced to practice basic skills by the hats, and Zhang Cuicui and Zhang Wanyi had already started to make a fire to cook. Zhang Laosi slowly began to do some exercises in the yard, but he didn't dare to make too many movements, while Chen pulled Li to ask Cuicui's reaction last night.
In the yard, two big yellow dogs were walking slowly around the yard, as if they were patrolling their own territory, full of energy.
"Aunt her, what does Cuicui think?"
"Madam, Cuicui is still a yellow flower girl after all, with a thin face, but I can see that she likes God bless this child. ”
"That's good, that's good, I'll go and ask the stone blind man in the village to help me take a look. ”
"That's a good feeling. ”
Cuicui, who was cooking in the kitchen, listened to the conversation between her mother and her wife, and her face flushed again.
The Stone Blind Man is the only Mr. Yin and Yang in the Slate Village, but no one knows where he came from. It's like the kind that suddenly exists, if you don't farm or work, you just rely on fortune-telling to get by. However, in Shiban Village over the years, the villagers feel that he is quite accurate, and whoever has a red and white matter or other matters will find Shi Blind to calculate a hexagram.
After breakfast, Chen pulled Li and hurriedly ran to the stone blind man's residence. Fortunately, it was not very far, and after passing a mountain pass, we arrived.
"Mr. Shi, are you at home?" asked Chen softly.
"Come in!" came an old voice from the fence.
"Mr. Shi, I didn't bother you, did I?" Chen asked in a harmonious voice, can't he be called Shi Blind here, after all, Shi Blind is just a private name for the people in the village.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Zhang, so I said why I heard the call of magpies early in the morning. I'm tired of finding a stool to sit on, I'm blind and can't see and move. ”
"Where can we trouble Mr., just come by ourselves. Chen and Zhang found a stool and sat down on their own.
"I don't know what happened to the two of you?" the blind man went straight to the point, and he also knew that the people who came to him were all going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
"That's right, I found a family business for the eldest of my family, one is to ask the old gentleman to help calculate whether it is compatible or not, and the other is to ask the old gentleman to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac. ”
"Please also trouble the two of you to read to me the birthdays of the bride-to-be and bride-to-be. ”
Chen and Li respectively told the blind man about the birthdays of Zhang Tianyou and Zhang Cuicui, with a look of anticipation.
I saw the stone blind man raise his palm, compare his fingers, and chant words in his mouth, and then took out the turtle shell and money coins used for divination, held them with both hands and shook them, and covered them on the table.
Chen and Li looked at this and didn't understand it very well, but both of them were a little nervous.
"Daji! The two dolls' lives are very good, and they will definitely have many children and blessings in this life, and there will be nobles to help them! The strange thing is that this nobleman should be your own, but it doesn't seem to be human, it's a little strange!" The stone blind man touched his beard and shook his head.
Hearing this, Chen's heart tightened, his own nobleman doesn't seem to be a human being? Could it be that he is talking about his first husband?
"Madam, it's appropriate!" Li Shi was so happy when he heard Daji that he didn't know why, and he didn't hear the next words clearly.
"Yes, please ask the old gentleman to help you choose a good day!" Chen was infected by Li's excitement, and hurriedly asked Xiang Shi Blind.
"I think the third day of the next lunar month is very suitable, and please don't forget to call the old man to be happy!"
"That's certain, there are a little silver taels here, please ask the old gentleman to smile, we will retire first if we have nothing to do!" Chen dropped 10 taels of silver and pulled Li away.
"Then I won't send it far away, haha..." A hearty laugh came from the mouth of the stone blind man.
