When I came, the snow was still very heavy, and when I left Zhao's house, the snow fell lightly.

Liu Wenyang hummed a little song along the way, carried a supper, and rushed home gracefully.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was too cold, the road was too slippery, and the people returned to the night in the wind and snow, and enjoyed the snow scenery along the road, it would be very bourgeois.

At the door of the house, Daddy Liuda hadn't slept yet, he shook his hands, stomped his feet, and stood outside the door to visit the road from time to time. Seeing his son come back, Liuda shouted from afar: "Ayan, why did you come back so late?" ”

"Something happened halfway through, and it was delayed! Don't talk about it, it's such a strong wind, let's get in! ”

The father and son entered the house, Liu Wenyang took out the food, Liu Da was surprised, and said that Aunt Jin was crazy, she would be so generous, and said that it would be better if she had two sips of wine.

There are no tables and chairs at home, and the father and son are not outsiders, sitting on the ground, not paying attention to what they eat, and gobbling up all the candied fruits, bean paste buns, and osmanthus cakes.

Daddy Liu Da touched his belly, still unsatisfied, and asked Liu Wenyang about the repayment of the debt, and Liu Wenyang told Aunt Jin about allowing her to repay the debt on the 28th of the lunar month.

"What, the eighteenth day of the lunar month was repaid, and only ten days were given?" Liu Da couldn't sit still, "If you pay twenty taels of silver in ten days, then it is equivalent to earning two taels of silver a day!" Oh my God, how is this good? ”

Seeing his father jumping in a hurry, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will definitely be a way!" ”

"Yes, yes, the living can't be suffocated by urine, we will definitely come up with a way...... Otherwise, let's find someone to borrow money again! Liu Da muttered, but when he said this, he sighed again: "All relatives and friends, we have borrowed all of them, and now they are hiding when they see me, like seeing the plague!" ”

In fact, Liu Da wanted to borrow a little more from his brother Liu Neng, but as soon as he thought of his fierce wife, Liu Da died of this thought.

"Dad, don't worry too much, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there must be a lot of people burning incense and worshiping God in the City God Temple, as long as we work together to do a few more shops, we may be able to pay back the account!"

"Yes, yes, our father and son will work together to get through the difficulties!" Although he knew that his son was comforting himself, there was no other good way at this time, so Liu Da had to deceive himself and said, "Okay, it's not early, let's wash and sleep quickly!" ”

……

Liu Wenyang climbed into bed, curled up in the quilt in a jacket, shivering from the cold, and couldn't sleep. It was easy to say just now, but he also knew that it would not be easy to earn twenty taels of silver in ten days. Nowadays, the living standard of Daming is low, and twenty taels of silver is enough for the expenses of ordinary people for a year, so you can imagine what kind of "huge money" this is.

Since he couldn't sleep, Liu Wenyang leaned against the wall with his knees crossed, wrapped himself in a quilt, and then leaned against the corner of the wall, listening to the silence outside the window, looking at the gray light outside the papier-mâché window, which was the light reflected by the snow on the ground. He has a heavy heart, he comes from modern society and has more than 500 years of knowledge of the Ming Dynasty, but he can't help his family out of the predicament, it's really ashamed to think about it.

What to do?

Liu Wenyang kept thinking about it in his mind, but suddenly remembered the "miracle" that was born in him today. I can actually see people's complexion and luck through guò, isn't it a very magical ability? What if I used this skill to help my dad show people's faces?!

Suddenly, Liu Wenyang seemed to see the hope of repaying the debt.

……

The ninth day of the lunar month.

Rare good weather, the heavy snow that was originally blowing stopped, Liu Wenyang opened the door, and at a glance, the whole world was dazzling white.

He stretched his waist, he hadn't slept well all night last night, but when he saw such a silver world, he was still shocked.

Pick up a broom and clear the snow.

The heavy snow didn't reach people's knees, which had to make Liu Wenyang amazed, you must know that he had never seen such a large snow in his previous life, and those snows were always a thin layer, which made people worry that they could be crushed by lifting their feet.

If you want to clear out the heavy snow, it is definitely a very difficult physical work, and Liu Wenyang has spent a lot of effort to finally clear a road.

After a busy morning and a hasty breakfast, Daddy Liu Da let Liu Wenyang carry the fortune-telling signboard, and the father and son went to the City God Temple to do business together.

If it was placed in the past, Liu Da would definitely not let his Xiucai son show up to do this kind of humiliating business, you must know that if you can be admitted to Xiucai, you will have the opportunity to be promoted to become a protégé of the Son of Heaven, if you do a stall fortune teller, what will people think of you when you stand in the Jinluan Palace?

But now at this moment and then, the son has been dismissed from his fame, and his family owes a lot of money, if the father and son still work together, it is estimated that they will not even have a year.

Liu Wenyang didn't think so much about following his father to set up a stall to tell fortunes, after all, he was not from this dynasty, and he didn't have the belief that "everything is inferior, only reading is high"; On the contrary, he was corrupted by the "money concept" in his previous life, but he was not disgusted by the stall fortune telling, but looked forward to it. You must know that those fortune tellers in the previous life are all fat and oily, and the money is easy to come by, and a lot of money rolls in, and sometimes you can get good luck and both wealth and wealth, which can be said to be more refreshing than being a white-collar worker and an executive.

Therefore, along the way, Liu Wenyang fantasized that he relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to fool a few big customers, and then Jinshan Yinshan, become a rich man himself, and lie under the grapevine to eat grapes like Ximenqing......

When Daddy Liuda saw his son smirking all the way, he thought that he was too stimulated, and he was "forcing a smile", and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, "My hard-working child! It's all blamed on Daddy for being useless, damn it! He snapped and gave himself a mouthful.

Seeing his father slapping his face, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but be stunned, and Liu Da hurriedly said: "Mosquitoes!" Killed a mosquito! ”

Liu Wenyang was surprised, could it mean that the mosquitoes in the DPRK have such a strong vitality, and they still pretend to be immortal Xiaoqiang in the winter?!

……

Ancient people liked to worship gods, so there are many temples, temples, and shrines, such as the Dragon King Temple, the God of Wealth Temple, the Guanyin Temple, and the Mazu Temple.

In places like Peach Blossom Town, the most famous is the City God Temple. Of course, the City God Temple is dedicated to the City God, for such a 6 land immortals, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Laoba, is even more respected.

Because Zhu Laoba was encircled and suppressed by the Yuan army before he was called the emperor, he once stayed in the City God Temple and survived the disaster, after the emperor, he issued an order to seal the City God, and ordered the construction of high-standard City God Temples in various places, and for a time the City God Temples in all parts of the Ming Dynasty sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

According to Daddy Liu, the feng shui on the left side is good, there is a big tree surrounding, the so-called "good shade under the big tree", not to mention the left green dragon and the right white tiger, the green dragon is stronger than the white tiger, so it can be seen that the left side is better than the right side.

However, in Liu Wenyang's opinion, Dad has no choice, because the thatched house on the right is a thatched house!

Since you want to set up a stall, you must have tables, chairs, benches, paper, ink, pens, inkstones, these things cannot be carried from home when you are facing them, who has ever seen someone carry tables and benches and run over to tell fortunes? That's stupid!

Liu Da is not stupid, he has stored all his things in the morning in the incense and candle shop not far away, of course, the female shopkeeper did not help him so much because he was handsome, but because he had to charge him a "storage fee" of three cents every month. In addition, the female shopkeeper also runs the thatched toilet directly opposite Liuda, responsible for cleaning and cleaning, and indispensably collects "toilet fees".

Tables, chairs and benches are ready, paper, ink, pens and inkstones are ready, tear open the guise of fortune-telling, lean on the side, and write on the guise a couplet to solicit customers.

It can be said that it is concise and to the point, and the price is clearly marked.

Liuda father and son came earlier, and there were not many people who came to the stalls nearby, and there were even fewer people who worshiped God on incense.

Although the heavy snow has stopped and there is no wind, Liu Wenyang still feels a little cold after standing for a long time. On the contrary, Liu Da seemed to be accustomed to suffering, holding his hands, shrinking his neck, sitting in front of the table, leaning against the big tree behind him, humming a little song to himself, waiting for business to come to his door.

"It's a little cold, I'm going to walk around the neighborhood!" Liu Wenyang said.

"Don't go far, maybe you need a helping hand when the business gets busy."

"Got it."

After Liu Wenyang finished speaking, he walked along the mountain road towards the City God Temple.

The gate of the temple was wide open, and a young Taoist priest wearing a coarse sermon robe and moon-white cloth shoes was snotting while taking a broom to sweep the snow near the threshold.

Liu Wenyang looked up, but saw that this city god temple is really big, three floors high, five bays, a black and brown flat hanging above the gate, with a silver hook painted on it, and three big characters written in block letters ---City God Temple.

On both sides of the gate are carved window lattices, and the carved doors with long doors are open, and the two statues of the gods are faintly seen sitting in the center, with a majestic expression. In the incense burner in front of the statue, there are several incense candles, incense smoke is swirling, and sandalwood is pouring into the nose.

"Ahh Suddenly entering from the outside to the inside, the temperature difference was not adaptable, so that Liu Wenyang couldn't help but sneeze. Rubbing his nose with his hand, Liu Wenyang began to look around the interior of the imperial temple in this small city.

Spacious, bright and atmospheric!

It's much better than the dilapidated house where he and his father live. Glancing at the old man of the city god who was sitting precariously, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it is better to be a clay statue than to be a man, at least the clay statue has such a decent residence!" ”

"Everyone sighs that the gods are good, who knows that the gods have troubles!" Suddenly, someone said.

Yi Feiyang turned his head to look, but he was a bull-nosed old man, in his forties, with a high crown, green hair fluttering, wearing an expensive silk robe, but unfortunately his appearance was extremely incommensurate with this outfit, mainly because he had a crooked mouth, and his entire face was crooked.

"Immortal Chief's words are very Zen!" Liu Wenyang said with a smile.

"Hehe, I don't dare to be a Zen machine, it's just that there are too many laypeople, and I only know how to envy the life of the gods, but I only think about getting something for nothing......" looked at Liu Wenyang with a crooked mouth and a smile, needless to say, the "layman", and the "one who gets it for nothing", of course, is him.

Liu Wenyang didn't understand why this bull-nosed old man would make fun of himself, whether he dug his ancestral grave or stole his coffin board, so rushed!

"Haha, the Taoist is so humorous, but I don't know if you and I have any grievances in the past?"

"No complaints!"

"Weekdays have a grudge?"

"No hatred!"

"Then I don't understand, since you and I have no grudges and no hatred, your mouth is so stinky, why bother?!"

The crooked-mouthed old man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Liu Wenyang to be so sharp-tongued.

"Do you mean...... You don't know me? The crooked-mouthed old Taoist asked.

"Ha, ridiculous! Why should I know you?! Liu Wenyang looked at the other party with a thief in his eyes, and then raised his eyebrows, "Besides, you are not a woman, and I am not interested in old men, especially the kind of ...... with crooked mouths."

After hearing this, the crooked old man's face suddenly turned red, not because he was insulted by the hairy boy in front of him, but because Liu Wenyang didn't know him!

For a long time, he thought that he was very famous in Peach Blossom Town, and it can be said that women and children knew it, and no one didn't know him, but today, he was deflated.

Laughed dryly once or twice, pointed to one place with a crooked mouth: "Look at what it is?" ”

Liu Wenyang looked at it, but it was an inner room, with tables and chairs, similar to the doctor's clinic, but there was also a narrow and long plaque on the inner room, which read: Iron Mouth Divine Calculation.

On both sides is a pair of couplets, the upper couplet: criticize yin and yang to break the five elements, look at the sun and moon in the palm; Downlink: Wind and water survey**, take the sleeve.

I have to say that this couplet is much stronger than the "three pennies and one hexagram" written on his father's disguise, and it is not a grade in terms of meaning or momentum.

Seeing Liu Wenyang looking at the couplet, the old Taoist couldn't help but smile proudly, "Now, you should know who I am, right?" ”

Liu Wenyang nodded, no wonder there is no injustice and no hatred, this old guy sarcastically mocked himself when he met, the sentence "peers are enemies" is really not wrong, but I don't know how my father offended him.

It turned out that the crooked old man was originally surnamed Zhang, claiming to be from the capital, after the guidance of the masters, he boasted that he knew astronomy and geography, and Qimen Dunjia divined the astrology, and was omniscient.

At first, the big guy thought he was bragging, but after a long time, because fortune-telling was really smart, he was called "Iron Mouth God Calculation", also known as "Zhang Iron Mouth".

Zhang Tiezui also set up a street stall at the beginning, and at that time, he had some small friction with Liu Da because of grabbing customers to pull business. Although both of them are not young, they will inevitably have a stubborn temper and almost move their fists.

However, as Zhang Tiezui's "divine calculation" became more and more famous, and his status rose, he no longer took Liu Da as an opponent very seriously, or simply said "I don't care about this kind of cheating, cheat

Especially in the years ago, Zhang Tiezui was invited to set up a stall in the City God Temple, completely out of the street business, and the cost of fortune-telling has risen from three yuan to ten yuan today, and even thirty, fifty, and hundreds of yuan......

At this time, Zhang Tiezui was no longer hungry and cold, but clothed and fed, and he felt that he had become a superior person. Therefore, he is very taboo when others mention the past, especially when he mentioned the shame of his fortune telling on the street. But recently, there have been reports of him picking up steamed buns on the street when he was down, being beaten by green-skinned scoundrels, and being ripped off by others.

The first thing Zhang Tiezui suspected was Liu Da, only he would say bad things about himself behind his back. Needless to say, his business is good, his business is poor, and he has become an "iron-mouthed god", but he is still a "street god", in comparison, anyone can't help but slander himself.

Because of this, Zhang Tiezui hated Liu Da, and of course he wouldn't have a good look when he saw his son today.

At this moment, Liu Wenyang knew the cause and effect, and the iron mouth pointed to the plaque of "Iron Mouth Divine Calculation", and asked triumphantly: "What's the matter, now you should know who I am!" ”

Liu Wenyang really didn't want to make more trouble, but looking at the other party's triumphant face, Liu Wenyang suddenly felt unhappy, so he glanced at the other party's "respectful appearance", and said seriously: "I know that I know, but I always feel that this word should be changed, it should not be 'iron-mouthed divine calculation', but 'crooked mouth divine calculation'!" ”

"I didn't expect Liu Da to have such a sharp-toothed son as you, but I didn't know that your shabby business would last a few days!" Zhang Tiezui's flaws are used to being ridiculed, but he doesn't care about it.

"You don't have to worry about this, if we don't move in here to keep warm, maybe you move outside to get cold!"

"Hahaha, ridiculous! It's ridiculous! It turns out that in addition to your sharp teeth, you also like to talk so much! Zhang Tiezui looked at Liu Wenyang with a mocking and disdainful gaze, "If your father was really capable, he wouldn't have ended up in a field like today!" ”

"Haven't you heard of it, the world is unpredictable!"

"Then I'll wait with my eyes wide open!" Zhang Tiezui sneered, "Look at how you kid who hasn't grown hair yet, kicked me out!" ”

When it came to this, there was nothing to say, so Liu Wenyang provocatively raised his middle finger, "Okay, let's see!" "Turn and leave.

Open your iron mouth, "Fingers? What do you mean? …… Lao Tzu is the first! ”
