Chapter 166: I'm a Fortune Teller

Those scholars finally disappeared, Hu Ye looked downstairs through the window, and was relieved to find that those scholars were gone.

"That, you guys go out first, young master, I'm going to study seriously." Hu Ye coughed, and then said very sternly.

Saren stuck out his tongue and went back to their room with Tsing Yi. Lao Qian retreated to the door and stood guard at the door.

After sending them away, Hu Ye took out the couplet in his arms and spread it on the table.

Xiao Qiang also jumped on the table at this time, staring at the words on this couplet, as if he was a wolf who could watch calligraphy.

Hu Ye glanced at Xiao Qiang, this thing actually jumped up directly from the floor, it seems that it has grown up, and the table that is more than three feet high jumped up directly.

After touching Xiaoqiang's head, Hu Ye pushed it aside, and he wanted to take a good look at Wang Wei's couplet.

Where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all.

Don't look at this couplet, it's only seventeen words, but it contains a lot of things.

The first is Wang Wei's personal preference direction.

From these seventeen words, it can be seen that this Wang Wei is not a person who is content with the status quo, and his style of writing is biased towards radicals. Therefore, Hu Ye thinks that when answering the questionnaire, he must not be too gentle, and must be radical. As long as you match the style of the examiner, at least the first hurdle will be much easier.

The second is Wang Wei's font habits.

It can be seen from these words that Wang Wei's font, although there is now a transcription system, but those who copy must be familiar with Wang Wei's font, when transcribing, found that it is similar to the font of their own scholars, so you have to take care of it.

The third is the general direction of this imperial examination.

This half of the couplet tells the story of Xiang Yu's breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, although it is impossible to directly say how Xiang Yu is like this in this imperial examination, but it must be related to this aspect. At least it won't be something purely literary that literati and get together.

So after Hu Ye watched it for most of the day, he had already seen almost everything that the throne wanted to express in this couplet, and he had a little confidence in this middle move in his heart, otherwise he might really be an apprentice to the dead eunuch.

Xiao Qiang looked at Hu Ye blankly, playing with the ink with his front paws from time to time, and then stepped on the plum blossom mark on the rice paper, and the more he played, the happier he became.

"Don't make trouble!" Hu Ye reminded in a low voice that this couplet is a good thing, and it must not be destroyed.

was scolded by Hu Ye, and Xiaoqiang didn't move. Lying there intently, watching Hu Ye imitate Wang Wei's font.

But imitating this thing is not a one-time rush, Hu Ye only learned the shape after learning for a long time, and he didn't learn the essence at all.

It happened that it was time for lunch at this time, and Xiao Qiang's rumbling stomach reminded Hu Ye. So Hu Ye had no choice but to put down the pen, picked up Xiaoqiang and walked out.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiang is not too heavy now, only twenty or thirty pounds, and in a few months, it is estimated that Hu Ye will not be able to hold it.

When they came down to eat with the old money, they met Yin Changlong again. Presumably, this product has also been studying in the house for a long time. I am making every effort to prepare for this township test.

"Brother Yin, it's just right, let's eat together." Hu Ye knew that he would definitely be reluctant to spend money on this goods, even if he lent him a hundred taels. He must have saved flowers, too.

But Hu Ye knew the examination environment in the Gongyuan, a small cubicle four or five feet wide, and his body couldn't be straight, and he didn't have a good body. It simply doesn't hold up in there. So Hu Ye must let this Yin Changlong eat and drink well, he is the protagonist of his own gambling game.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Yin Changlong nodded yes.

So a few people ordered a hearty lunch, chicken thigh, pork leg meat is indispensable. Old money's broad beans are used for wine.

And recently, Xiaoqiang has also become obsessed with drinking, and always grabs a bowl with Lao Qian to drink.

Lao Qian was very reluctant, but the young master said that Xiaoqiang was his brother, and Lao Qian had to endure it.

No, Xiao Qiang just gnawed a large piece of pork leg meat, so he licked two mouthfuls of Lao Qian's wine bowl with his tongue, Lao Qian's eyes squinted, and then he pushed the wine bowl directly to Xiao Qiang, indicating that it was yours.

Xiao Qiang showed his two fangs towards Lao Qian, and his mouth moved, as if he was showing off to Lao Qian.

Yin Changlong looked at these magical people, and he found that this Hu Ye didn't look like a young master at all, but like Lao Qian's son. Saren and Tsing Yi don't look like his handmaidens, but like his sisters.

This Xiaoqiang is very similar to his brother, because basically what Hu Ye eats, Xiaoqiang eats. Even the wine bowl has to be robbed with the old money, is this what a dog should do?

"Brother Hu, can I inquire about something?" Yin Changlong added a piece of green vegetables and asked Hu Ye cautiously.

"Brother Yin has something to say." After Hu Ye threw Xiao Qiang a piece of meat, he looked at Yin Changlong and said.

"How is Brother Hu sure that I will be a Jinshi? And dare to take 10,000 taels of silver as a bet, even if Brother Hu's family is entangled, this 10,000 taels of silver can't be squandered like this. Yin Changlong asked his own questions about this day.

Because it can be seen from this day's getting along that Hu Ye is not a fool, and there is nothing wrong with his brain. But from his appearance, it can be seen that he is more confident than himself, but he doesn't know where his confidence comes from.

Hu Ye smiled, and then made a profound expression. Lao Qian knew at a glance that the young master was going to start deceiving people, which was what he was best at.

Sure enough, Hu Ye smiled and took out three copper coins and shook them in front of Yin Changlong's eyes.

"Brother Hu, this is ......" Yin Changlong looked at the copper coin curiously, the edges and corners on it had been worn away, and no one asked for anything even if he bought something.

"This is a good thing, I guess Brother Yin has also heard of divination." Hu Ye played with the copper coin in his hand and asked Yin Changlong with a smile.

"Divination? I have indeed heard of it, but it is all done by those warlocks, is it possible that Brother Hu also knows this way? Yin Changlong put down his chopsticks and looked at Hu Ye very suspiciously.

Among his influences, those fortune tellers are all old men, this Hu Ye looks eleven or twelve years old, and the rice he eats is not as much salt as others eat, is it like grabbing jobs with those people?

"I only know a little bit about where it is." Hu Ye said very modestly.

"Haha, my young master is modest, if he says that divination is second, no one in the world dares to call it first." Lao Qian held the flask and drank the wine, and said with a big grin.

The wine bowl was occupied by Xiaoqiang, so he could only drink it directly with the wine jug, which looked very domineering.

Yin Changlong looked at Lao Qian in surprise, this guard who is not like a guard, he really speaks without concealment, and no one dares to claim to be the first in the world.

But he found that Hu Ye didn't mean to refute at all, could it be that what Lao Qian said was true?

"Brother Hu, I heard that Zhang Tianshi's divination skills in the imperial court are unparalleled in the world, I don't know how your skills compare to him?" Yin Changlong asked curiously.

"Zhang Tianshi?" Hu Ye was stunned, as if before coming to Beiping, Jinda told him about this person, saying that he wanted to humiliate this Zhang Tianshi with these three copper coins, because this Zhang Tianshi had stolen his father's limelight over the years.

"Yes, it is Zhang Tianshi, who is the Zhengyi Sect, who lives in the palace, and is the imperial heavenly master of His Majesty the Emperor, and often makes some fortune telling. In this year's drought, the emperor also asked Zhang Tianshi to worship the heavens at the Temple of Heaven, but Zhang Tianshi said that this was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. However, when the emperor asked him what kind of man-made disaster it was, Zhang Tianshi was silent. Yin Changlong said the secrets of the palace, and it sounded decent.

"Man-made disaster?" The copper coin in Hu Ye's hand fell on the table.

What kind of bullshit is this, what age is this, and he is still practicing superstition here, what kind of man-made disaster is this, it is obviously a natural disaster. Young master, I am a person from here, and I am very familiar with this matter, and it will not rain until October at the latest, so it turns out that this heavenly master is nothing more than this, and he only knows how to fool the emperor and the people.

Hu Ye suddenly thought at this moment, this Zhu Yuanzhang is going to hang up, could it be this bullshit Zhang Tianshi who is teaching Zhu Yuanzhang some kind of immortality technique and teaching him what bullshit elixir to eat. There are many emperors who have hung up like this in history, after all, when it comes to that seat, who doesn't want to sit down forever.

"Brother Hu." Yin Changlong picked up the copper coin on the table and handed it to Hu Ye, waking up Hu Ye who was in deep thought.

"Ah, oh, what's that, I'm going to talk to Zhang Tianshi in the future." Woken up by Yin Changlong, Hu Ye said with a little embarrassment.

"Brother Hu is really a strange person." Yin Changlong couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm just a fortune teller." Hu Ye put away the three copper coins in a daze, spread his hands and said. (To be continued......)
