Chapter 195: Too Much

Fan Ning turned around, only to find a middle-aged Taoist priest standing behind him, wearing a blue short robe, a purple yang scarf on his head, leggings, and cloth shoes on his feet.

This Taoist priest holds a stalk of floating dust in his left hand and a flag in his right hand, and writes on it: 'Look at the good and evil, ask about the future, iron mouth God calculates, and it is not allowed not to collect money.' ’

He looks a little skeletal and strange, his eyes are blazing, and he looks particularly energetic.

The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile on his face: "Xiaodao is the crown of Zhongnan Mountain Feather Priest, and I am willing to take a look at the appearance of the little official." ”

In each imperial examination, fortune tellers from all over the Great Song Dynasty also gathered in the capital, and the streets and alleys were full of fortune-tellers who set up stalls, and there were more than 10,000 people at the most.

There are fortune tellers, there are looks, there are bones, some fortune tellers are more accurate, it will be surrounded by imperial examination scholars, there are many depictions on the "Qingming Riverside Map", which is a scene of the capital.

Fan Ning was not disgusted with the Taoist priest because of Jian Meizi, he asked with a smile, "Tell me what I do?" ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled slightly, "The little official is a candidate for the current boy's examination, and he is from Jiangnan, right?" ”

Fan Ning smiled: "We are wearing scholar's clothes, we are not very old, and we speak with a Pingjiang Fu accent, of course the Taoist priest can guess." ”

Cheng Ze laughed, "It's been exposed!" Pretending to be a ghost here, why don't you leave soon? ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest was not annoyed, he glanced at Cheng Ze and said with a smile: "This little official also entered Beijing to catch the exam, but in the end he failed to pass the imperial examination, am I right?" ”

Cheng Ze was suddenly shocked, he spent 3,000 yuan to get the qualification for lifting people, and not long ago he was disqualified from the provincial examination by the Ministry of Rites for soliciting prostitution, these two things he kept secret, but he was seen through by a Taoist priest.

He hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to salute, "I underestimated the Taoist, I don't know how the chief can see it?" ”

"It's very simple, you have a defect in your left forehead, which means that you will have a big setback at the age of fifteen or sixteen, your eyebrows are short and thick, and there are many flaws, which means that your career was not smooth in your early years, but you are also rich and noble, and you do not have to worry about food and clothing.

Cheng Ze admired more and more in his heart, he happened to buy a house today, and when the Taoist chief said it, he hurriedly took out a piece of silver and a half taels and respectfully presented it.

Fan Ning whispered to Su Liang and said: "One person in the two hundred talent examination, of course, the vast majority of candidates will not be able to pass the imperial examination in the end, this is ambiguous, it can be said that he was disqualified, it can also be said that he did not pass the examination, Cheng Ze is so well dressed, the gold bracelet on his hand weighs at least three taels, and there are gemstone rings, of course, it is the appearance of wealth and nobility, as for the house, the Taoist priest is not necessarily now." ”

Su Liang smiled: "What do you think he will give me?" ”

Fan Ning sneered, "Of course you will be married, you and Cheng Yuanyuan are sitting so close, and the blind can see it." ”

Su Liang's face flushed, and he was unconvinced: "I don't believe it, I count your future for you, but give me a marriage, why?" ”

"If you don't believe me, just give it a try!"

Su Liang really didn't believe it, he straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, you might as well give me a fate!" ”

The Taoist priest stepped forward with a smile, looked at Su Liang, and quickly glanced at Cheng Yuanyuan, seeing Cheng Yuanyuan looking at Su Liang with affection.

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, "Congratulations to the little official, the little official is full of color, his eyes are full of affection, his wife is natural, and there will be a good relationship in marriage recently." ”

Su Liang glared at Fan Ning hatefully, so he had to take out fifty yuan and hand it to the Taoist priest.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was not too little, and he smiled happily, and he turned to Fan Ning again, "Actually, I noticed the little official when I went upstairs. ”

"Notice what about me?" Fanning asked with a smile.

"The face of the petty official is very special, the nose is flat, and the eyebrows are double-colored, which is a very rare fortune, especially for the future imperial examination......"

Fan Ning was able to hear it, but the Taoist priest stopped, he glanced at the Taoist priest, "Why don't you continue to speak?" ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said, "If the petty officials are sincere to listen, the petty Taoist will be sincere to say." ”

Fan Ning took out fifty yuan and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "You might as well continue!" ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest was just about to say, but Su Liang asked on the side, "What is eyebrow gloss?" ”

The Taoist priest had to explain to Su Liang first, "Eyebrow color is a few particularly long eyebrows, which will add color to the eyebrows and eyes of the whole person, like the Yin Tang of a small official, which is also a kind of color." ”

Fanning touched his eyebrows, he had already discovered that he did have a few eyebrows that were relatively long, on both sides, and he wanted to trim them sometime, but it turned out to be a sign of good luck.

The middle-aged Taoist priest continued to smile at Fan Ning: "The fortune of the little official is very special, not only the high school entrance examination today, but also the imperial examination in the future." ”

"What does that mean?" The crowd was confused.

"I can't tell you why, but petty officials have double eyebrows, which generally means that they have two big achievements in school."

"Could it be that it refers to the high school examination and the general examination?" Cheng Ze said thoughtfully.

"Impossible!"

Everyone said in unison, "You have taken the understanding test, but your eyebrows are not colorful!" ”

Cheng Ze touched his eyebrows and said nothing.

Fanning smiled: "This is a matter for the future, how do I know if you are accurate?" ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at Fan Ning carefully again and laughed, "The little official has been poor since he was a child, but then he met a nobleman, which made your family gradually rich, and this year the little official is going to make a windfall, and the wealth is extremely prosperous, I don't know if I'm right?" ”

Fan Ning smiled, "I'm a person who even borrowed the imperial examination, where to get rich, forget it, you can take the fifty yuan, borrow your auspicious words, I hope I can go to high school this time." ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest took the money and said with a smile: "We will have a goodbye time in the future, I hope that the petty officials will not be too stingy at that time and say goodbye!" ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest turned around and walked away.

........

After everyone finished eating, they got up and went back to their residence, and along the way, Cheng Ze was chattering and boasting about his new house, and it was easy to wait for him to stop being verbose, Su Liang picked up an empty space and spoke to Fan Ning in a low voice.

"Actually, I think that Taoist priest is a bit of a doorman, he said that you met a nobleman, I think this nobleman is Zhu Daguan, isn't it?"

Fan Ning also felt that this Taoist priest was a little elusive, saying that he had Taoism, but he thought that he gave too little money, and said that he was cheating money, but there were so many scholars in the restaurant, but he was only looking for himself, and he said that he was going to make a windfall this year, which made Fan Ning think of Tian Huangshi.

Fan Ning couldn't figure out this Taoist priest, so he smiled faintly: "He said that we will see each other in the future, then let's wait and see!" ”

As soon as everyone returned to their residence, the little maid cuckoo rushed out anxiously, "Little official, Brother Li has fainted!" ”

Fanning was taken aback, "What's wrong?" ”

The cuckoo shook his head again and again, "I don't know, I saw him faint at the door, so it was easy to carry him to bed and run to the doctor." ”

Fan Ning hurriedly rushed into the door, and Su Liang also ran in, just in time to meet a doctor coming out of Li Dashou's house with a medicine box.

Fanning hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with my friend?" ”

The doctor smiled bitterly and said: "The problem is not very big, just rest for a few days, he is mainly too tired, he is so tired that he collapses, even the iron beaten people can't stand it!" ”

"He will participate in the imperial examination the day after tomorrow, is there any way for him to recover as soon as possible?" Fanning asked anxiously again.

"I prescribed him two pairs of big tonics, but this is just an emergency, the best prescription is to rest, at least four or five days of rest, he can still recover, I have no other way."

Fan Ning hurriedly took out a tael of silver to give the doctor a consultation fee, and the doctor took the money and said, "Maybe you can buy some good ginseng for him to make soup, and he may recover a few days earlier." ”

"Thank you for the reminder!"

The doctor hurried away, and Fanning walked into the room, only to see Li Dashou lying very weakly on the bed.

Fanning stepped forward and asked, "Da Shou, how are you?" ”

Li Dashou sighed and said, "Senior brother, I shouldn't disobey you, I'm too ruthless, I can't even participate in the imperial examination now." ”

"You have a good rest and sleep today and tomorrow, and then take a few more medicines, your body is strong, maybe you can go to the imperial examination."

Li Dashou slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "I really want to sleep." ”

"Then sleep! I'll go get you some medicine. ”

Fan Ning covered the quilt for him, closed the door, turned to Su Liang and said, "Let him sleep well, let's not disturb him, I'll go get him medicine and buy two good ginseng sticks back." ”
