49 Divination
Lingfu slowed down before saying, "Since the county order is good, why do you still want to escape?" ”
The woman showed a hint of shrewdness that penetrated the world, raised her eyebrows, and said, "The white cloth has entered the dye vat, is it still good?" Even if he was a good one when he came, he entered the filthy land of the Chuyi County Ya, and within a few days, he would be the same as those filthy officials. ”
Lingfu was silent, the credibility of the Chuyi County government was obviously bankrupt in their hearts, they no longer believed that there would be a blue sky in this, and would rather go into exile with their families.
After another stick of incense, it was time to reach the handover of the rural road and the official road.
The man got off the little green donkey, and Cui Yuanting also stopped the horse and let the woman and the little boy come down.
The woman was still very happy: "This journey is much faster than ours, and we can stay early tonight." ”
The man also sighed, "Go on your way westward, but we will not go the same way, so we will part ways here." ”
Cui Yuanting looked at his face, and suddenly showed an unfathomable smile: "This brother, if you don't guess wrong, something good will happen to you in the next month." ”
When the man heard this, he glanced at Cui Yuanting strangely and didn't speak.
Or the woman continued, "What good things come from the outcasts?" Childe is not going to make fun of us. ”
Cui Yuanting said: "The younger brother has been familiar with divination since he was a child, and he has some experience in looking at appearances, starting classes, and looking at qi, why doesn't the lady believe it?" ”
As he spoke, he took out three copper coins from his sleeve and immediately threw them twice on the ground: "Go down from Shanggen, Ben hexagram, small profits are important, auspicious!" ”
The woman and the man didn't understand what it meant, but they understood the word "auspicious".
Displacement is imminent, their hearts are uncertain, they are confused about the future, and the peasants who watch the sky and eat are extremely superstitious, and at this moment, when they see Cui Yuanting's chatter and trouble, they all want to hear him say something.
Besides, "Ji"? Who doesn't want to hear good words, even if it's a blessing for the future.
So the woman asked, "Childe, what does this hexagram mean?" Talk to us. ”
The man was not as cowering as before, and nodded frequently.
Cui Yuanting glanced at them and started the performance: "Then the little brother will simply say, the hexagram means smooth, the future road of the two must be unimpeded, small profits are at stake, it means that if you have a line, you can get small profits." ”
The woman and the man looked at each other with a happy face—could it be that fleeing was really the right choice?
Cui Yuanting took in the expressions of the two, put away the copper coin and said: "However, in my opinion, this trip does not refer to escape, but the road back!" ”
The husband and wife were stunned again.
Cui Yuanting: "It's not a secret, I looked at the two of them, and they are all conducive to local development, but there is a small disaster at the moment, so it is not impossible to leave and avoid it." However, the aftermath of this catastrophe will be solved, and the so-called disaster will become auspicious, and the two will come back after that, and it will be all right. And the small profits mentioned in the hexagram are also obtained here. ”
The couple was stunned when they heard this, and the woman said, "What does the son mean, do you mean that we have to come back after we leave?" Only when you come back can you get the benefits mentioned in the hexagram? ”
Cui Yuanting nodded.
The couple hesitated at the moment, and seemed to disagree.
Cui Yuanting said: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe in the divination of the younger brother, let's make a bet, you can leave." But after a month, you can send someone to bring a letter and ask the elders in your hometown whether your fields have been returned to you in good condition, and you will know that the hexagram of the younger brother is not allowed or not. ”
The woman was amazed and said, "You mean that our fields will not be swallowed up by the big families and will come back?" ”
Cui Yuanting nodded firmly.
The woman immediately turned to look at her husband, both of whom had disbelief on their faces.
The field is their biggest stumbling block and dependence, if it can really be preserved safely, who wants to escape all the way through the mountains and rivers?
Seeing this, Cui Yuanting took out a string of copper coins from his arms and handed them to the two: "If you don't allow it, you don't have to come back, this copper coin has always been a shameless reparation for the younger brother." If it is approved, the two of you will return the money to the younger brother, and you will regain the land anyway, and there is nothing to lose. ”
"However, the younger brother is completely sure that you will return this money to me in the future. I passed by this place and have done a 'look', only to see the earth qi rising, lingering in the belly of the mountain peak of the green water and green mountains, full of vitality, then this place will inevitably produce a bright and righteous official for the people, I think the field of the two should be here. ”
Hearing this, the exiled couple was silent, and so was the Lingfu.
She really didn't know that Cui Yuanting could fool so much! Playing the role of the god stick boy brother to set a set, this time the peaks and loops turned, the ups and downs, that is, she was about to be fooled and lame.
It turns out that Cui County's serious book is not only used to promote the court to solve the case, but also to play it!
was thinking about it, but found that Cui Yuanting seemed to be looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, as the "younger sister" she played, her pretty face was slightly red, and she understood that it was time to speak by herself: "Uncle and aunt, my brother can't do anything else, but this class has never been Turin!" You take the money, and you will find out if you ask the villagers in a letter a month later! ”
She helped stuff the money to the exiled couple, and the husband and wife were already a little "lame", taking the money and leading the donkey east in a trance, without asking where to find the brother and sister when the money was repaid.
But it doesn't matter, Cui Yuanting is bent on letting the fleeing people take the initiative to come back, and he doesn't care about the whereabouts of the money.
Looking at the figure of the family gradually moving away, Cui Yuanting gently exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest.
He came, but he could not stop the people from fleeing.
There are many stubborn diseases here, even if he has a thousand pride and determination, he must eradicate it layer by layer.
Even if the grain was released, not all the people thought that he would be a good official from the beginning. He couldn't move out of his name, patted his chest and told the people to believe in him and not leave.
Only with little by little practical actions can the people see changes, see sins punished, and see justice manifested. Only then will they stay with peace of mind and live and work in peace and contentment in the future.
This is his practice as the head of a county, and it is a responsibility on his shoulders.
The horse snorted and scraped the ground with its front hooves. Cui Yuanting touched its mane and said to Lingfu: "Get in the car, we have to hurry back to the city." ”
Yes, the sun is hanging in the western sky again, and the curfew is like another biological clock, engraved in everyone's heart.
"Click, click", the horse's hooves rose, the smoke and dust churned, and the carriage carried the two people who were confused and disappeared on the official road.
Early in the morning, the main room of the Xu family.
Xu Baixing was woken up by the sound of a magpie, and Wei got up to wait for him to wash, put on boots and hat. Xu Baixing leaned up and held his chest up, and let Wei do some for himself, with the attitude of the head of the family.
"How is Lingjiao's family discussion?" Thinking of the magpie that was chirping just now, the "head of the family" spoke solemnly.
