Chapter Fifty-Nine: Leaving the Teacher is Unfavorable
Wentai saw that she couldn't make up her mind, so she simply made up her mind and said: "Let's buy it, on the first day of the new year, it's just time to try your luck." ”
The Guan flutter on the first day of the Lunar New Year is not only a fun activity for the people of Tokyo City, but also has the intention of testing luck in it, after all, it really depends on luck to win or lose this thing.
If you can win a few times in a row, it means that your luck may be better this year, and people will have more expectations for life in the New Year, and if you lose in a row, you will lose not only money, but also expectations for the year ahead.
So it's a real test of the player's ability to bear it.
At this moment, Wen Shu's hesitation also has this concern, in a few days, she will accompany Miss Lu to set off for Cangzhou, if she loses, she will have some pimples in her heart, but since her father has already spoken, she also wants to try, in case it is a good sign.
Wen Shu nodded, took the five copper coins from the stall owner, and then clasped his hands together, silently thinking in his heart, he must win, he must win.
Copper coins can be thrown three times in total, as long as one of the three is all right, it will be counted as a player wins, Wen Shu shook a few times, and then opened his palm, and the copper coin fell on the wooden board specially erected by the stall owner with a bang.......
Three positives and two negatives!
She froze and threw again.
Four positive and one negative!
When Wen Shu picked up the copper coin for the third time, her heart was already beating a little fast, she took a deep breath, the hand holding the copper plate did not move for a long time, and the stall owner did not urge, anyway, there was no one else in front of the stall now.
"Throw, if you lose, it's your father's." Wentai saw that she was a little stage frightened, and laughed on the side.
How could Wen Shu ask for his money, but these words also reminded her that luck is not something that can be changed by holding it in the palm of her hand, as the so-called stretching out your head is also a knife, shrinking your head is also a knife, it is better to be happy.
As soon as the thought was clear, when the copper coins in his hand were thrown away, in the sound of cheering, the three copper coins were lying upright, and the remaining two copper coins were dripping and turning in circles on the wooden board, and no one knew whether it was right or wrong until the moment it fell.
Wen Shu's heart instantly rose to his throat.
The steel plate spun around a few more times, and then fell on the wooden board with a clatter in a cold wind.
Five!
Win!
Wen Shu almost jumped up happily, although the stall owner did not look good, he also obeyed the rules and handed her the deposit and the gilt silver butterfly hairpin.
The first time she bought it, she got off to a good start, Wen Shu smiled happily and squinted, which was not only a hairpin for nothing, but also meant that she had good luck in the coming year.
In order to ensure that this mood would not be ruined, she did not participate in the subsequent buying, but Wentai went to the foot shop that sold wine to play a few handfuls, and the final result was a win or loss, although she came back with two pots of wine, but she also spent seventy or eighty yuan in betting.
In the blink of an eye, the third day of the Lunar New Year is about to come to an end, but the shops and stalls along the street are becoming more and more lively, because there are many lucky people who want to seize this last opportunity.
The only things that have remained unchanged are probably the hospitals that save lives and help the wounded, and some shops in the industry that are engaged in white work, such as her house.
Of course, the law does not explicitly stipulate that coffin shops cannot participate in the purchase, but for the sake of morality and customs, they are also not allowed to participate.
Wen Shu ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles at the stall opposite the Li Family Medical Hall, and while eating slowly, he looked at the people entering and leaving the medical hall.
Under the New Year's Festival, there are not many people who enter and leave the hospital, if it is not a sudden disease, few people are willing to go to the hospital during the New Year's Festival, and some diseases that require long-term medication have already been taken well in the year before.
Wen Shu squatted for nearly an hour before he saw two patients entering and leaving the hospital, and looking at their faces, he also knew that they were not suffering from jaundice.
In the frequent gaze of the stall owner, she was embarrassed to settle the bill, and then changed places to squat, this squatting for another hour.
Two hours passed, five people came in and out of the hospital, but not a single person with jaundice waited, Wen Shu went home discouraged, made a simple lunch, and hastily ate, and then went to Wushu Temple.
The temple of Wushu Temple is not big, there is only one main hall and two side halls, the incense in the temple is not very prosperous, there is only one Buddha statue in the main hall, at this time there is only a plainly dressed woman in the bow inside.
Wen Shu quietly approached and listened, but she was a begging son, she reluctantly withdrew from the hall and waited outside the door for nearly two hours.
In these two hours, only three pilgrims came, one prayed for his son's high school, one asked for good karma, and one begged the gods and Buddhas to exorcise ghosts, saying that they always had nightmares.
Wen Shu glanced at the Buddha statue with a compassionate smile on the top, and secretly sympathized in his heart, the Buddha was really busy enough, and he had to take care of everything.
The next day, it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was the day to go to Liyuan to learn martial arts, which was supposed to go on the third day of the junior high school, but on the afternoon of the second day of the new year, Lu Xi sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Master Liu had returned to his hometown for the New Year and had not returned, so she asked her to go a day later.
After Wen Shu had breakfast, he changed into his usual gray and simple practice shirt, and when he arrived at the agreed place, Lu Xi was already waiting there.
Seeing her coming, he first smiled and said hello, and then took out a small sachet from his sleeve: "The son entrusted me to hand it over, saying that it was for the little lady's New Year's money." ”
New Year's money, Wen Shu's face is inexplicable, Lord Lu gives her New Year's money?
Isn't it only the elders who give the younger generations New Year's money?
Lord Lu is not her elder, is this also the rule of the Hou Mansion?
Before she could ask her doubts, Lu Xi had already stuffed the sachet into her hand, then jumped on the car and said, "It's not early, little lady, get in the car quickly." ”
Coming back to her senses, Wen Shu hurriedly climbed into the carriage, and after entering the carriage, she secretly opened the sachet, and she didn't know how much money Lord Lu would give her. There were some expectations in her heart.
Who knew that when the sachet was opened, it was indeed a piece of paper, but it was not Jiaozi, but a white paper on which the words were written, and the content on it made Wen Shu even more confused.
At this time, Lu Xi outside asked her how she was doing this year, and was there anything interesting?
After getting along for so long, she and Lu Xi have a much closer relationship, and they will chat a few words when they have nothing to do, and they will tell him some interesting things in the streets and alleys.
When he arrived at Liyuan, Master Liu was still waiting there, there was still a pot of tea in front of the table, Wen Shu called out to the master with a smile, and handed him the New Year's gift he brought, which was nothing unusual, the same thing as going to Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings, two dried fruits and a pot of wine, plus her own flower buns.
Master Liu looked at things with some surprise, it stands to reason that he is not Wen Shu's serious master, but he was entrusted by Lu Shaoqing to teach her temporarily, and she didn't need to be treated as a teacher.
But this little lady treated each other politely, which made Master Liu more satisfied with Wen Shu, he only felt that this child was a filial piety, and the only regret was that she was not a man, otherwise, he would definitely accept him as a disciple and pass on this martial arts.
