Chapter 17: The Fortune Teller

On this day, at the corner of the street in Jiankang City, it was quite lively.

If you look closely, a large group of people are gathered in front of a fortune-telling booth.

Sima Shao and Yu Wenjun snuggled up in the noodle shop next to them, eating noodles and watching the excitement.

The fortune teller was about sixty or seventy years old, dressed in a gray robe, and sat on the floor.

Holding a compass, copper coin, peach wood sword and other things in his hand, he chattered in his mouth: "Three Yin and Yang Hexagrams, Four Elephants, Five Elements Hexagrams, Seven Stars, Six Combinations, Eight Gates, Nine Palaces, Twelve Zodiac Signs, Tianshu Stars, Earth Xuan Stars, People, Demons, Beasts, Ghosts, Gods......

The onlookers were a little puzzled, but they didn't bother, and waited quietly.

It's been a long time.

"Let's do the math!" A middle-aged woman said anxiously.

"Hurry up, we've all been waiting for a long time." Someone next to him urged.

"Okay." The fortune teller was smiling, holding an abacus in his hand, and calculated.

The fortune teller had words in his mouth, a compass in his hand, his eyes staring at the hexagram, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes pinching his fingers to deduce, sometimes closing his eyes and contemplating, sometimes his eyebrows fluttering, sometimes gritting his teeth.

After a while, I heard the fortune teller say, "This lady, your marriage is really good." “

"How?" The middle-aged woman asked.

"Your husband must be very handsome!" The fortune teller praised: "Your husband's official fortune is not low, and he will definitely have a smooth career in the future!" “

Sima Shao sat on the sidelines and listened dumbfounded. But he could really fool around, he thought.

The middle-aged woman was overjoyed when she heard the fortune teller's words, and her husband was indeed handsome, and hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.

Sima Shao wanted to expose this charlatan.

But looking at the smile on the middle-aged woman's face, I couldn't bear to spoil her mood. I had no choice but to give up.

"This son."

The fortune teller looked at Sima Shao, who was eating noodles on the side: "Your marriage is not bad, although I can't see it clearly, but your face is really a perfect match for your wife, if you want, I am willing to calculate a hexagram for you for free." ”

"No need!" Sima Shao waved his hand.

The fortune teller didn't mind, and said with a slight smile: "Childe, your life is very wonderful, there should be a good story between your wife and you." ”

"I don't believe in these things, don't lie to me, fortune teller." Sima Shao said lightly.

"Oh boy, I'm telling the truth!" The fortune teller said hurriedly.

"Let's let the old gentleman take a look. Let me see, the face of the lady next to you has a sign of prosperity, and you will be blessed in the future. After Sima Shao heard the words of the fortune teller, he was stunned.

I am indeed very blessed, and this is true.

He stepped forward, lifted his head slightly, and looked directly at the fortune teller.

Seeing this, the fortune teller smiled slightly, his eyes swept over Sima Shao's body, and then he said slowly: "Guan Gongzi is gorgeously dressed and has an extraordinary bearing, and he is the son of a rich and noble family." ”

"Hmm." Sima Shao nodded, but did not answer, waiting for the fortune teller to continue.

"Please also ask Childe to extend his hand."

Listening to the fortune teller's words, Sima Shao stretched out his hands.

And the fortune teller took a closer look, only to hear the fortune teller say again: "Although the son has a rich face, but looking at the intricate texture in this hand, I think there will be a catastrophe in the future."

"Huh?" Hearing the fortune teller's words, Yu Wenjun was so frightened that he immediately asked, "How can Mr. be sure?" ”

The fortune teller smiled faintly and said, "The old man has been learning physiognomy since he was a child, so he naturally knows the reason. "

Yu Wenjun hurriedly asked, "How can I solve this disaster?" "

The fortune teller smiled and said: "Poor Dao has learned physiognomy since childhood, but he has never encountered this kind of thing, and he doesn't dare to speculate, but if you want to solve this matter, it is simple, Childe remembers to get good results because of good causes, if you want to survive this catastrophe in the future, you must help others, as for how to do it, Childe will have his own competition in his heart in the future." "

"Really?" When Yu Wenjun heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

The fortune teller smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, it's true." "

Sima Shao looked at the little daughter-in-law next to him who was still worried, and secretly complained in his heart: "Why do you carry it like this!" I'll just wear a cross, what kind of calamity is there, and I don't know if what this old man said is true or false, I'm afraid it's not a big fool, right? "

"Alright! Now that Childe is fine, let's take my leave! The fortune teller stood up and bowed, and then left.

Yu Wenjun was still immersed in what the fortune teller said just now, and he didn't notice that Sima Shao was looking at him at all, until she found out, her face suddenly turned crimson, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and muttered, "What are you looking at me like this." ”

"Nothing! It's just that I didn't expect the little daughter-in-law to be so beautiful, and she is so young and beautiful, it's really hard to take your eyes off! Sima Shao teased with a smile.

When Yu Wenjun heard this, he whispered shyly: "I'm too lazy to take care of you!" With that, he turned and left.

Yu Mansion.

Yu Wenjun was still thinking about the words of the fortune teller just now, but Sima Shao was thinking about the fortune teller's sentence just now, "You will be rich and rich in your life", and she secretly remembered it in her heart.

This fortune teller may have some skills. Sima Shao thought secretly.

And just when Sima Shao and Yu Wenjun left, General Yu's mansion also welcomed a heavyweight guest, this guest was a man about forty years old, wearing a black crown robe.

His face is very ordinary, but full of momentum, and at first glance he looks like a person who has been in a position for a long time.

This person is Sima Shao's father, Emperor Yuan of Jin.

"Wechen see Your Majesty." General Yu saluted.

"Don't be restrained, just get flat." Emperor Jin Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." General Yu thanked him and stood up.

Emperor Jin Yuan sat on the main seat, while Sima Shao's father stood aside, waiting for Emperor Jin Yuan's orders.

"I heard that Yu Aiqing has been busy with war matters recently, and she has worked hard.

I specially came here to reward Yu Aiqing, and by the way, I also let Yu Aiqing rest and rest, so that Yu Aiqing can have full of spirit to continue to conquer the north. Emperor Jin Yuan said with a smile.

"I have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some delicious food, Yu Aiqing must be full of food and drink."

"Then Weichen thanked Your Majesty first." General Yu hurriedly said.

"Haha, you're welcome, I know that you are a very good general, I believe that one day General Yu will definitely lead his troops to defeat the enemy, so that my Jin Kingdom can return to a peaceful and prosperous era and dominate the world." Emperor Jin Yuan said with a smile.

"Yu Aiqing, I didn't come to Yu Aiqing today just to offer condolences. I'm here to discuss something important with you. ”

"What's the matter? Your Majesty commanded. General Yu said respectfully.

"My son Shao'er and Aiqing's daughter Wen Jun still have a marriage contract, and now they are getting older, Shao'er runs back and forth to the Yu Mansion all day long, and Wen Jun can't move to Shao'er Palace."

"And I see that the two of them are getting along very well, so I want to discuss an auspicious day with you when they are not in the mansion, and when Shao'er turns fifteen next year, they can get married." Emperor Jin Yuan said with a smile.

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide." General Yu said.

"Although Shao'er is still young, I know that Shao'er is a very sensible child, I hope that Shao'er can start a family and start a business, open up branches and leaves for me as soon as possible, and let me hug my grandson as soon as possible, and then the country of my Jin Kingdom will be stable."

"Shao'er is the best son of my Jin Kingdom, so I am naturally relieved." Emperor Jin Yuan thought about it and said again.

"Obey." General Yu said respectfully, and then turned to Emperor Jin Yuan: "Your Majesty." The minister had a proposal that after His Royal Highness and the little girl got married, they would send them to the northwest border to exterminate the remnants of the former Qin. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Jin Yuan was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, after the minister has finished his important business, he can go to the battlefield. Presumably, this remnant can be eliminated quickly, and then the remnants of the former Qin will inevitably surrender, and at that time, my Jin Kingdom will be able to recover the lost territory. ”

"Oh." A strange light flashed in Emperor Jin Yuan's eyes.

"This matter will be discussed again. Rong Zhen will wait for Shao'er to get married and then think about it, you can step back first. ”

"Yes, the minister retired." General Yu saluted and retreated, and Emperor Jin Yuan looked at General Yu who had retreated, with a little complicated color in his eyes.

He was considering whether he should let Yu Aiqing go to the northwest frontier to exterminate the remnants of Former Qin, after all, it was the main gathering place of Former Qin.

But he was afraid that Yu Aiqing would die because of this, after all, he was old.

It made him feel very entangled......
