This little lady was in a complicated mood, crying and laughing, and several times Chu Xiaoran saw her hiding aside and wiping her tears.

Chu Xiaoran really couldn't stand it, so he asked, "Little lady, what difficulties have you encountered?" Let's see if I can help! ”

"It's just that I think of some things from the past...... the little lady wanted to speak and stopped, I don't know if it's because Chu Xiaoran is too young.

Out of politeness to ask if she wanted to help, Chu Xiaoran had already done it, whether the little lady decided to tell her that it was the little lady's own business.

Chu Xiaoran didn't chase after him and asked.

The ox cart swayed all the way, and finally arrived at Jiulong Town at noon, as soon as she arrived at the city gate, the little lady took the lead in getting off the carriage, thanked Chu Xiaoran again, and hurriedly went to the crowd, and did not forget to look left and right, looking like she was coming to the town to find someone.

Chu Xiaoran glanced at it a few times and then withdrew his gaze.

She was already hungry, so she asked Tuesday Lang to stop at a pasta stall on the side of the road with an ox cart, and decided to fill her stomach first.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, ordinary people did not fire at noon, but there were still a lot of people selling food in the town, shouting and shouting one after another, and the fall of Qizhou Mansion did not seem to have much impact on the town.

"Shopkeeper, let's have three bowls of noodles."

When Erlang and Yunxiang heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands: "Sanniang, it's good for you to eat, we are not hungry." ”

"What so much nonsense, let you eat it. How can you go hungry when you are an errand for this girl. ”

Just eat one meal in the morning, how can you not be hungry.

A bowl of hot shredded chicken noodles, even the soup was drunk, Chu Xiaoran's shriveled stomach was filled, and he burped with satisfaction.

Chu Xiaoran got into the ox cart again: "Tuesday Lang, do you know where in the town there is a place to sell compass yellow paper?" ”

"Sanniang, there is a feng shui street in our town, and there are several feng shui shops there."

Chu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows, and then remembered that in the Huizong Dynasty, Taoist priests were very popular, and it was not surprising that there was a feng shui street in the town.

Tuesday Lang drove the ox cart to Feng Shui Street, and Chu Xiaoran chose a shop at random and walked in.

The shop is not very big, about 20 square meters, on the left hand side are placed all kinds of rune paper and cinnabar, and on the right shelf there are different kinds of compasses, dragon rulers, and other things needed by feng shui masters.

Yesterday, when she went to worship Chu's father, Chu Xiaoran instructed Liu's mother to buy yellow paper and cinnabar, so now her purpose is to choose a compass that suits her.

Chu Xiaoran stood in front of the shelf, looking over from left to right, his eyes did not stop.

Because she didn't like the compass on this shelf, it was not that the compass was not exquisite enough, but that the compass was not fine enough.

Chu Xiaoran was too young, standing in front of the table, crackling and playing abacus, his eyes didn't glance at Chu Xiaoran and the others, in his opinion, Chu Xiaoran was a spoiled child, and when he was interested, he came to the store to take a look at it.

"Little official, do you only have these compasses in your store?"

Xiao Er heard Chu Xiaoran calling him, so he reluctantly raised his head, and said impatiently: "The child's family, what kind of compass do you know, go and ,......"

Xiao Er wanted to drive away Chu Xiaoran and the others who were "playing", but Yun Xiang was the first to be unhappy: "Little official, open the door to do business, the one who comes is the guest, how can you drive the guests out of the door, is it because the girl in our family is young?" ”

Xiao Er blushed a little when Yun Xiang said, but he didn't make a sound to drive people away.

Mainly because Yun Xiang's voice is loud, it has attracted several people to stop and watch, and he is afraid of affecting the business of the store, so he keeps his mouth shut.

Chu Xiaoran stood in front of the shelf, picked up a compass at random, and said: "This compass is a water compass, just wear a few rushes on the magnetic needle and float on the water surface to indicate the direction." This kind of compass has a big disadvantage that the water surface is easy to shake, which affects the effect of measurement. ”

After Chu Xiaoran finished speaking, he picked up a compass next to him and continued: "This is a dry compass, and its biggest advantage is stability. ”

In fact, the dry compass seems to have existed since the Ming Dynasty in the record, but for some reason, she actually saw the figure of the dry compass here.

Chu Xiaoran didn't want to dwell on this, even she could wear it here, and even the corn that only existed in the Ming Dynasty was now available, so it was not impossible for a dry compass to appear.

Chu Xiaoran showed his hands casually, and he calmed Xiao Er, he walked out from the table, put on a flattering smile, bent his back very straight, and walked to Chu Xiaoran, with a standard flattering look: "I didn't expect the little lady to be a knowledgeable person, it's all to blame the villain's clumsiness, don't be surprised, what kind of compass you want, you can look at it at will." ”

Chu Xiaoran hated such a face the most, put the compass in his hand on the shelf, and turned around and left directly.

Yun Xiang, who was following behind, also glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, and said: "Dog people look down on people, as long as you do this business, this store will have to close sooner or later." ”

Chu Xiaoran couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yun Xiang's words.

Yun Xiang is right in one sentence, that is, this store will have to close down sooner or later.

Because, in this feng shui shop, many items in it are not placed in accordance with the prescribed position, which destroys the feng shui in the store, just like the copper tripod on the table, the thing is a good thing, but it is placed in a taboo position.

In ancient times, after the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, he had cast three tripods, symbolizing heaven and earth, Xia Yu cast nine tripods, symbolizing Kyushu, the heavy pattern on the tripod, had a role in suppressing evil, and it was the most suitable to put it in the store, but there was a taboo that could not be placed on the right side of the table, because the ancients respected the left and the right was humble.

From here, it can be seen that this shop is opened by a layman, and he can't even look at the feng shui in his own shop, and he is embarrassed to sell tools for feng shui.

I'm really not afraid of being laughed at and lose my big teeth.

Chu Xiaoran walked a few steps and turned into another store.

This shop is several times larger than the store just now, the decoration is more heroic, and there are more things sold inside, and there are many kinds of cinnabar with just one drawing.

She has cinnabar now, although the condition is not very good, but her current cultivation, this thing is enough.

She still mainly buys compasses.

Chu Xiaoran walked to the shelf where the compass was placed, there were many compasses here, not only water compasses and dry compasses, but also triple plates, ternary disks and comprehensive disks.

What is a triple plate?

It is the heavenly plate, the earth and the human plate, which have three layers and twenty-four mountains, and these three disks are combined into a whole.

Heaven and earth are also known as "three talents", and there is a saying in "Zhou Yi": "The way of establishing heaven is said to be yin and yang. The way of standing on the ground is said to be soft and strong. The way to establish a person is to say that people are righteous. With three talents and two of them, it is easy to draw six hexagrams. ”

Among them, "two" refers to yin and yang.

Another meaning of triad refers to the cycle of biological development, which has three stages: occurrence, exuberance, and decline. Feng Shui focuses on the triad of the sun or moon moving to a certain mountain, which is represented by "birth, prosperity and death" on the compass.
