XII. The words of the fortune teller

At five o'clock in the morning, the cries ----,of the two chickens in the backyard of the Li Mansion couldn't wait to squeeze into the crack of the front yard and back door of the front yard and into the ears of their hostess Yue Hongying. Yue Hongying opened her sleepy eyes and looked out the window with a furrowed brow. I saw that outside the window, there was still a black world. She muttered impatiently: Hey, it's not dawn yet, what's wrong with these two cocks?

With a muttering mouth, Yue Hongying turned over. In this way, what catches your eye is: the back of her husband Li Yunfei. Suddenly, a flash flashed in her mind: Last night, her husband, who was crying bitterly at the dinner table, finally stopped crying for a long time. She picked up the teapot and poured hot water, squeezed a wet hand towel to wipe his face. But he stretched out his hand and pushed it away; Then she poured hot water into the footbasin, took off his cotton shoes, and put his feet in the footbasin. When he stretched out his hand and was about to scrub for him, he kicked over the footbasin. There is not a drop of water in the foot basin, but the ground is watery, and it seems that you can raise fish!

Yue Hongying knew: Li Yunfei was still angry with her. So she watched: he pulled up his cotton shoes and turned around and walked into the room. He hurriedly followed him to the door of the room, watched him go to the bed, throw off his cotton shoes, and lie on the bed with his back facing up, his limbs wide open. In a moment, the man's characteristic rough snoring sound rushed through the entire room. However, Li Yunfei's snoring at this moment, in Yue Hongying's heart, was like the desolate and sad long cry of the goshawks falling in the sky!

Looking at the scene in front of her, Yue Hongying's heart was like someone who had torn it apart violently, it hurt so much. The sensation soon permeated: in every cell of her body! However, until now, she still does not understand: her mistake is that she is too greedy in her heart. knew that because she was unwilling, her husband continued to support her uncle to study and take the exam; Or give the uncle a share of the family property he deserves. She is still playing her little Jiujiu: Yunfei, Yunfei, for the sake of the future of us and your two boys, we must absolutely keep this "selfish" heart. Hate me as you like!

So, Yue Hongying sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Li Yunfei's back with a pair of eyes without blinking, secretly thinking about her thoughts. Until, the ears drilled into: the small alarm clock in the shape of an "owl" on the desk, the pleasant sound of the prompt "Master, master, it's almost zero." It's time for us to sleep! Then she thought to herself: Oh, the night is deep. We really have to sleep! Thinking of this, she tried her best to breastfeed, and moved Li Yunfei's body to the right position, and finally took off his cotton robe, cotton pants, and cotton shoes. Then, he took off his warmth and lay down beside him. As soon as she pulled the quilt over the two of them, her eyelids began to tremble up and down. After a while, she finally went to "Interpret Dreams of Zhou Gong"!

In fact, getting up late like today, Yue Hongying is still "the first time". She has had a habit since she was a child: that is, at four o'clock in the morning every day, as long as she hears the roosters crying, she always rolls over and gets up. When she quickly dressed and got out of bed, she realized that she was always the first to get up.

This habit has continued until: she married into the Li Mansion in a sedan chair with eight lifts, and it has never changed! However, today, her eyelids seemed to be glued, and she didn't move at all! However, the brains of domestic animals are extremely simple. They don't understand the pain and regret of human beings. Therefore, they still call out majestically and with high spirits. It's completely a no-toss: the master has no choice but to admit defeat, and he will definitely not give up easily!

However, no matter how hard they tried to call, today's hostess still pretended not to hear, frowned and closed her eyes, lying beside her husband Li Yunfei, looking at the ceiling in the house in a daze. She definitely didn't understand: what was wrong with thinking about her two biological flesh and blood? Why can't even your own man understand and support him?

With just a bag of cigarettes, the maid Xiaolian walked to the door and knocked twice. However, there was no movement in the room. She knocked several more times, but the door still showed signs of emptiness. She couldn't help but churn in her heart: Today, I didn't see the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother leaving the house. How could these two not hear my knock at the door? Oops, didn't there be an accident last night?

The more Xiaolian thought about this, the more she felt that her heart was like being wantonly violated by a blizzard. Cool and swishing all over the body: every nerve! She couldn't help but tremble and pushed open the door, and saw that the eldest young master was facing the inner wall sideways, and seemed to be still sleeping. However, the young grandmother was facing up on her back, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

Immediately, an inexplicable anger couldn't help but rise leisurely from the bottom of Xiaolian's heart. This anger made her forget the humility of her identity! I saw that her mouth popped out of her mouth: Grandma, we knocked on the door several times just now. What do you mean by pretending not to hear?

When Yue Hongying heard this, she understood: she had been in a trance. She hurriedly smiled apologetically at Xiaolian, and then said: Xiaolian, my eldest brother treated the old lady like that yesterday, which was actually not my intention. I've been frustrated since last night. That's why I didn't hear your knock just now! Xiaolian thought to herself: Hmph, all the misfortunes that happened in the Li Mansion yesterday were not all due to you. It's incredible that you're now "crying cat and mouse fake compassion"!

Speaking of this, Yue Hongying suddenly felt that the conversation between herself and Xiaolian just now seemed to have reversed the identity of master and servant. So, she deliberately coughed twice and said with a calm face: Xiaolian, early in the morning, you ran into the master's room and breathed. You'd better give me a reasonable reason, or don't blame me for being rude to you! As she spoke, she put on a cotton robe and cotton pants while glaring at Xiaolian viciously.

Xiaolian, although she is a maid. However, her enlightenment is not stupid at all. Of course, she could see that the hostess looked at her eyes like a "tiger, leopard and jackal" as greedy and fierce! At this time, she finally woke up: Oh, when she spoke like that just now, she was really "arrogant and putting the cart before the horse". It's no wonder that the young grandmother is angry! So, Xiaolian hurriedly and cautiously said the purpose of coming here: Grandma Da Shao, there is a fortune teller from outside the mansion----

Yue Hongying said angrily: Fortune teller, right? It's such a, why don't you call the old lady? But you are so bold to come and make trouble with me! Xiaolian hurriedly explained: Grandma, you don't know. This fortune teller asked me to find you by name! Otherwise, whoever borrows me ten guts, the slave and maid will definitely not dare to come here to disturb the master!

When Yue Hongying heard this, she said: Hey, this person actually named me and wanted to see me. Could it be that he is the blind man who often helps me tell my fortunes? What did he do when he came to look for me? Thinking of this, she turned to Xiaolian and said: Go and call that gentleman to wait in the living room, and I will go after freshening up and dressing up. As she spoke, she stood up and walked briskly to the dresser.

Xiaolian said "sigh" playfully, and quickly turned around and left. With just a bag of cigarettes, Yue Hongying came to the living room. I saw a lame man I didn't know, looking up at the back wall of the living room with great interest: a hanging landscape painting. His head nodded like a "chicken pecking rice", and he couldn't stop praising it.

Yue Hongying thought to herself: Hmph, this seems to be a deflated San'er who has never seen the world. However, she still said politely: This brother, what is your surname? Also, we have never lived with you. I wonder what advice you have for me? Only then did the "appreciator of the painting" turn around, pinch the beard at his chin and say: "Oh, the contemptible person is not surnamed Liu Zi Cangtian." Let's quit our other business today and come to Fuzhong. Isn't it just for the future of the young lady!

Yue Hongying couldn't help but say suspiciously: What? Are you for my future? Why do I sound so confused? poured out the puzzlement in her heart, and she secretly wondered in her heart: Hmph, surnamed Liu, you don't "slap a swollen face and become fat". If you can't come up with a suitable reason, see how I clean you up!

Who knows, the man surnamed Liu, after hearing this, laughed and said: Young lady, don't worry, don't worry, let's talk to you in detail. It couldn't be simpler. However, it suddenly made Yue Hongying's heart sink: Oh, this Mr. Liu, it seems that he knows a lot of things in our family? Suddenly, she felt that her back, as if it was being wantonly swallowed by the cold wind, was coldly wading into every cell in her body.

Yue Hongying will never know: The Mr. Liu in front of her is the fortune teller that Li Yunlong met and asked in the market the day before yesterday. (It's just that he didn't accept Li Yunlong's broken silver that day.) Right now, Mr. Liu thinks: I have long heard that the third son of the Li Mansion has excellent grades since childhood. In the future, it will be a talent! I have also frequently heard that this Ms. Yue treats her uncle extremely harshly and meanly. Today, we came to Fuzhong voluntarily and tried our best to persuade this Ms. Yue to fully support the uncle to study hard for the exam!

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu encouraged a clever tongue like a "spring" and began to lobby Yue Hongying: Ms. Yue, as the saying goes, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace". Let's come to visit today, but I can't bear to see you and offend Tianquanxing! His words just landed. Yue Hongying's eyes stared at him vigilantly, and said inexplicably: Mr. Liu, what is the Tianquan Star?

Mr. Liu pretended to look serious and said, "Ms. Yue, we just walked to the wall of the backyard of your mansion and saw several tall and stout peach trees in the mansion: lush branches, flowers, and lush greenery. It's a soul ingestion! I stretched out my hand and counted it, and then I knew that the third son of your mansion had a very noble identity. He is the Heavenly Power Star of the Heavenly Realm!

Yue Hongying was taken aback when she heard this: Mr. Liu, what are you talking nonsense? (Actually, she didn't know that the look on her face had already been completely revealed, and she already believed what the fortune teller said.) It's just that her mouth doesn't want to admit it! )

Mr. Liu looked at the other side: she was obviously a woman who looked like she was "listening attentively", but she did not admit defeat at all. I have the bottom in my heart! I saw that he still said unhurriedly: Ms. Yue, may I ask if the third son of Fuzhong was born in the second day of Wushu? At this moment, Yue Hongying couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart: Hey, he was all right. It seems that Yunlong's kid is really a "destined" talent. What should I do?

Soon, Yue Hongying thought of it: her husband Li Yunfei has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he has also practiced martial arts halfway. When he grew up, he could only barely mess up with the affairs of the county master. It can be seen that he and the two boys born to him have grown up, and I am afraid that they will have to rely on money to donate money to buy official positions. She deeply understands that if she only relies on her husband's salary on duty in the county government to donate official positions for both male children, it is impossible at all. For the sake of the future of her two male babies, she must be "ruthless" and stingy with her uncle!

Thinking of this, Yue Hongying gritted her teeth and said: Hmph, what's the big deal if you were born on the second day of Wushu? Mr. Liu is too self-righteous, right? When Mr. Liu heard this, he thought: Oh, no wonder everyone says that she is not easy to deal with at all? Today, we've got a lot of knowledge! However, for the sake of the talented Li Yunlong, we must also fight with her!

So, Mr. Liu cleared his throat and continued: "Ms. Yue, if it were someone else's birth on the day of Wushu, it might really be nothing. The third son of your mansion, he has a tough advantage that ordinary people don't have! Yue Hongying, a woman, was originally a person who believed in fortune-telling and fortune-telling. At this time, she couldn't help but ask nervously: Mr. Liu, what are his tough advantages? Is there a way to resolve it?

Mr. Liu thought to himself: Hmph, Ms. Yue, do we still think that you will never take the bait again? Well, since you're still willing to believe us. Then, we must make good use of it! So, he deliberately looked at Yue Hongying, stretched out his hand to his mouth, and made a "shhhh The god said mysteriously: Ms. Yue, this third prince has the advantage of heaven and earth. If, you want to know the answer, stick your ears out. I'll tell you this!

When Yue Hongying heard this, she really tilted her head sideways and put her ears to Mr. Liu's mouth. Then, the fortune teller's words drifted in with the wind: one of them is the "official star peach blossom". refers to the peach blossom occupying the official position, that is, the official with the peach blossom. When he meets the peach blossoms, he is not only undefeated, but also rich and noble. The ancients called the merry and beautiful man. For example, when the day of Wu Shu is the second day, the mao is the peach blossom of Wu, and it is also the official star. Second----

When Yue Hongying heard this, she thought: Oh, how can Yunlong's life be so "auspicious"? If these words were heard by Li Yunfei, it would be worth it! No, we can't let him talk about it anymore. So, she hurriedly waved her hand to stop it, and said with a laugh: Mr. Liu, we have loved fortune telling and divination all our lives. When we were girls in my mother's house, we became obsessed with this thing. After marrying into the Li Mansion as a daughter-in-law, she basically went to her mother's house once a month.

Yue Hongying lowered her head and took a few sips of tea, and continued to say frustratedly: "Mr. Liu, after all these years, I have also understood what you fortune tellers said, and some of the words are quite effective; Some words are not reliable. We know your words better to believe it or not. Actually, let's go to my mother's house once a month. It's just that in order to hold a fortune teller's field. Because, he's my cousin! (Actually, only she understands that these words were made up by her "against her own wishes", so that the fortune teller in front of her "knew the difficulty" Oh!) )

Mr. Liu thought to himself: Oh, look at what Yue Hongying said one after another. No wonder people say she has a powerful mouth and is extremely difficult. It seems that none of them are "groundless"! Okay, she's got a big mouth. Let's play a game of "want to catch and indulge" with her! Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed and stood up, clasped his fists at Yue Hongying and said: "Ms. Yue, since you have said so, you are extremely distrustful of me. Then let's take our leave and go on the street to continue my business! In the future, if something happens to you and the children, don't blame us again: I didn't make it clear to you today!

As he spoke, Mr. Liu stood up, turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the south courtyard of the Li Mansion without looking back. At this time, it was Yue Hongying's turn to have a pimple in her heart: Oh, look at him walking like that. It seems that he really came to the Li Mansion to remind me. If, I'll let him go now. In case, we and the children really encounter something unexpected in the future. It's my own good children who suffer!

Thinking of this, Yue Hongying hurriedly ran to Mr. Liu's side, grabbed his arm and couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Liu, please walk slowly." Please, tell me what you know! When Mr. Liu heard this, he thought: "Ms. Yue, look at how energetic you were just now." Now, you've even changed your address to "you." You woman turns her face so fast!

Mr. Liu, after finishing the sigh for Yue Hongying in his heart, a thought suddenly came to his heart: Ms. Yue, since you can't wait to trust me, let's tease you again! Thinking of this, in the face of Yue Hongying's deliberate retention, he stiffly shook his arm, and said with a calm face: Oh, it's useless for us to say it. Don't waste your tongue in vain!

At this moment, Yue Hongying's heart has long been frightened by what Mr. Liu said before. She hurriedly squeezed out some smiles and said: Mr. Liu, we just said some thoughts about fortune tellers in our hearts. I hope you don't have to be surprised! Only then did Mr. Liu pretend to be "enlightened" and said: Well, didn't you really drive me away?

Yue Hongying hurriedly "lied with her eyes open": Mr. Liu, how can we drive you away? Well, it's all because you've misinterpreted what we mean. Hurry up, let's go back to the hall and chat over tea! As she spoke, she dragged Mr. Liu back to the hall and sat down, and quickly poured a cup of hot tea again. Then, she said very humbly: Mr. Liu, let's continue the topic just now!

Mr. Liu picked up the cup and took a few sips of tea, cleared his throat and said "knowingly": Ms. Yue, where did we talk about just now? Yue Hongying smiled bitterly and said: Mr. Liu, just now you mentioned "second". Mr. Liu scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a while before he "opened his mouth": Oh, yes, yes, we did say those two words. Hey, as we get older, our memory also deteriorates a lot. Make you laugh! Okay, let's move on. The second is that the third son of the Li Mansion was born with a full heavenly court, a face like a peach blossom, red lips and white teeth. It's like "racing over the flower fairy", walking like stopping and being polite. It must be someone who will "make a difference" in the future!

Mr. Liu glanced at Yue Hongying, and said slowly: This third point is that I silently recited the three words "Li Yunlong" in my heart, and turned three copper coins in my hand. Then, three more times, it turned out to be all heads. Positive is positive, and positive is masculine, aggressive, enterprising. This fully proves that Li Yunlong can be a man of letters, and he is all in the right place. If Ms. Yue still doesn't believe it. We brought three copper coins, and I can show you the other side!

After Yue Hongying heard this, she secretly exclaimed in her heart: Oh, why is Yunlong's life so good? Just listening to this Mr. Liu already makes me jealous! If we are "immersed in the scene and see it with our own eyes", it won't make us dizzy! No, no, we must not throw copper coins from Mr. Liu. In this world, isn't there the proverb that has been passed down from generation to generation that "out of sight is pure"?

Thinking of this, Yue Hongying was extremely embarrassed and said: Mr. Liu, I was born "timid as a mouse" and cannot stand the fright. Let's not watch you throw copper coins! (Actually, she didn't know at all: just now, when Mr. Liu said "throwing copper coins" as evidence, it was just "a false shot".) In fact, before saying "throwing copper coins" as proof, he was very worried in his heart: the woman in front of him would propose to "verify in person" on a whim. Because, his ability is only to give people "fortune telling". As for "hexagram", he is a layman. He was also very worried about himself: he missed the copper coin! Because, if you lose face by mistake, it doesn't matter. It's just that if Li Yunlong's good future is delayed because of this. Well, he really can't forgive himself! )

When Mr. Liu heard this, he was overjoyed: Haha, Ms. Yue was as timid as a mouse and didn't dare to look at the "copper coin". Heck, that's exactly what it is: thank goodness! However, he knew that in the face of her who was difficult to deal with, at the final critical point, he absolutely had to throw out a "killer weapon" to scare people. Usually, unless it is a last resort, he will never take this kind of evil means of "indiscriminately"!

So, Mr. Liu said word by word: Ms. Yue, do you want to continue to support Li Yunlong to study the "Four Books and Five Classics" and go to the capital to take the imperial examination? Regarding this question, you'd better "think twice"! We're done. Let's say goodbye!

As he spoke, Mr. Liu turned around and walked towards the south courtyard gate of the Li Mansion. Looking at his back, Yue Hongying couldn't help but become more and more scared the more she thought about it. One of her hearts immediately felt like something had been torn apart. It hurts, it hurts! The voice like a mosquito and fly floated out of her mouth like a gust of wind: Hey, on one side are my two biological flesh and blood, and on the other hand, the inviolable little brother-in-law. What the hell should I do?
