Chapter 9 Monks don't talk about money, they talk about fate

Xu Boqing did not choose to sit on the small bench, but cleaned out a bluestone slab and sat cross-legged on the ground, in a meditative state, the long sail behind him fluttered with the wind, but there was really a little bit of 'fairy wind bones' dusty demeanor...

And he sat there quietly, and did not utter a shout.

From what I heard at the city gate just now, it can be inferred that the 'capable people' in Hongyang City have been requisitioned and transferred, and they will not be able to come back until after noon, which means that they are now the only one in this fortune-telling stall.

I'm not afraid that no one will come......

Niu Ben is still the same as usual, taking advantage of the old man's absence, stealing some money from the house and sneaking out of the door, with one hand behind his back, and a money string in the other, and went to the morning market.

He is a good gambler, and he has a quirk, every time before entering the gambling house, he has to find a fortune teller to calculate today's fortune.

Although he also knows that fortune tellers are all gods who talk about cars, and they are not accurate at all, but they can't stand people from talking nicely.

Picture a color head is not...

As a result, I walked around the morning market today, but I was surprised to find that the stalls I frequented were empty.

"Hey, it's really weird."

Niu Ben muttered, walked around the street again, and made up his mind that if there was no one yet, he would skip this process today and go directly to the gambling house.

When he turned to Liu Laogen's stall, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Someone!!

'It's time to open......'

Xu Boqing saw that someone walked straight towards him, and only smiled slightly, knowing that this first order was coming.

Niu Ben pulled over the small bench and sat down, looked him up and down, and asked, "Boy, look at the noodles?" Not a local? ”

"The benefactor is as wise as a torch, and Xiaodao is indeed not a local."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, Master Niu, I didn't give you anything, you can't be a donor."

Niu Ben said and glanced at the canvas leaning against the wall, and then asked, "Since you kid is not a local, how did you occupy Old Man Liu's fortune-telling stall?" Also, why are there no one at the fortune-telling stalls in the city today? ”

"Good to teach the donor to know."

Xu Boqing coughed lightly and pretended to say: "Liu Laogen is Senior Brother Xiaodao, and Master Xiaodao has ordered him to come to Hongyang City to join Senior Brother Liu.

I never thought that when I first came, I met the adults in the yain who went out of the city to handle the case, and Senior Brother Liu and a number of 'capable people' in the city were all invited, saying that they were to assist in handling the case.

Before leaving, Senior Brother Liu handed over the stall to Xiaodao to help those who were destined. ”

"Snort, a talented person......"

Niu Ben sneered inexplicably, looked at Xu Boqing, and said playfully: "Since you and Old Man Liu went out of the same door, and he handed over the stall to you when he went out, then you should also be a fortune teller?" ”

"And ......"

Xu Boqing nodded and asked, "I don't know what the donor is?" ”

"Fortune."

Niu Ben's fingers groped for the money string in his hand and said, "You calculate, how is Niu Ye's fortune today?" ”

"Yes~"

Xu Boqing nodded.

As early as when Niu Er was sitting on the small bench, he carefully observed that this person was holding a string of money in his hand and a fortune talisman hanging around his waist, which must be extremely wealthy...

And there is a layer of inconspicuous cocoons at the tiger's mouth and bucket pattern of the fingers, which is mostly caused by shaking the dice and touching the pai gow all year round.

Surely a gambler!

That's easy to do......

He smiled slightly and said: "Xiaodao is proficient in plum blossom easy counting, and also asked Niu Ye to say the number within five tens, Xiaodao can calculate today's fortune according to the number provided by Niu Ye." ”

Niu Ben didn't understand what plum blossoms were easy to count, but when he heard what he said, he had a nose and eyes, and he faintly looked forward to it, so he thought about it and opened his mouth to say: "One... Two... Three... Five... Seven, you tell Niu Ye to say. ”

"One... Two... Three... Five... Seven ......"

Xu Boqing frowned slightly and pinched his fingers, then smiled, and said: "Yes, two, three, five do ten, one seven is eight, it is for Niu Eight!" Double the cow, good fortune. ”

"Niu Ba? Double the cow? ”

Niu Ben was slightly stunned, only knowing that his name was Niu Ben, but he didn't know what this 'Niu Ba' and 'doubling Niu' meant?

"Master Niu doesn't need to worry too much, this is an industry term."

Xu Boqing saw that he didn't understand anything, and explained with a smile: "To put it simply, it means that Niu Ye is prosperous today, not to mention that he will win every gamble, but he also wins more and loses less."

After noon, before evening, he will be able to double the money in his hand. ”

"Oh?"

Niu Ben stared at him and said in surprise, in the past, fortune tellers and lottery heads, what the other party said was also very good, but they were all some nonsense, and no one dared to say how much money could be won at a fixed time like this young man.

If it's not allowed, won't it ruin your own job?

"Boy, it's no joke to win or lose, it's good if you calculate it accurately, what if it doesn't count accurately?"

"Don't worry, Master Niu, senior brother has been operating here for many years and has a good reputation, and today he will deliver this stall to me, how can I smash my own signboard with confidence?"

Xu Boqing's voice paused, and then he said: "In this way, if this hexagram fails to be fulfilled after noon and before evening, Niu Ye can come here to smash this stall, how about it?" ”

"Good! You said it yourself! ”

Seeing that he was sincere and sincere, Niu Ben patted his thigh and applauded, and his mood became more and more comfortable, and he asked, "Boy, how much is your hexagram money?" ”

"Monks don't talk about money..."

Xu Boqing smiled slightly: "Talking about fate~"

"Hahahaha, okay, you kid listen..."

Niu Ben smiled, took out a handful of copper plates from his body, stretched out his hand to the ground, and said, "Master Niu is happy today, and these changes will reward you." ”

With that, he got up and ran to the gambling house.

"The donor is good to go."

Xu Boqing looked at about 20 Liang Tongbao on the ground representing the round sky, and his face was also happy, with the current purchasing power, a Liang Tongbao can buy two steamed buns or a big bun with fresh meat.

After counting, there are twenty-two pieces in total, and such hexagram gold can be said to be quite rich.

Seeing that Niu Ben had gone away, he was also hungry, feeling that he could eat a cow, and after picking up the money, he wanted to go to the surrounding breakfast shop to solve the problem of fasting.

I didn't think that before I could get up, an old farmer came in front of the stall......

"Little fairy, can you name this?"

Xu Boqing nodded slightly, and responded: "Yes, dare to ask the old man's surname?" ”

"How can there be anything expensive, my surname is Lu, just outside the city of Lujiazhuang, the little fairy is called Lao Lu."

The old farmer sat down a little cramped, and then said: "That's the case, my baby is about to be one year old, I brought him to the city before, and the old fairy said that my baby lacked wood and water in her life, so she gave her the name Lu Senmiao." ”

As he spoke, he also took out a piece of paper with the words 'Lu Senmiao' written crookedly from his body and handed it over.

Xu Boqing took it and took a look, and complained silently in his heart, he didn't know which god stick was pulling the calf, and this eating appearance was also ugly...

Can't you choose a professional name?

He smiled and nodded, and asked, "Since Ling Lang already has a name, are you going to change your name?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The old farmer nodded and said: "I asked the gentleman of the school, he said that this name is too difficult to write, I think it is also, in the future, the child will go to school for the exam, his name has just been written, and half of the other people's exam papers have been answered, so how can it be done?"

So my family discussed it, and wanted to change the baby's name with wood and water in his life, and the strokes were simple. ”

"There is wood and water, and the strokes are simple."

Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he patted his leg with bright eyes and said, "There is!" ”

He looked around, found a broken red brick from the corner of the wall, and used it as a pen to write the three big characters 'Lu Benwei' on the ground.

Seeing that the old farmer was a little puzzled, he explained word by word: "This 'Lu' is your child's surname, I won't repeat it, this 'Ben' word has a total of five paintings, taking the meaning of being honest and honest, simple and easy to understand;

The most important thing is the word 'reed', let me ask you, where does this reed live? ”

The old farmer frowned and replied, "By the pond." ”

"By the way, it's by the pond!"

Xu Boqing nodded, and then said: "There is water in the pond, and there is a tree named reed on the edge of the pond.

Isn't Ling Lang's life short of wood and water?

The word "reed" has a total of seven strokes, with simple strokes, and what is even more rare is that it also contains wood and water.

Moreover, this "reed" through "great", the significance is also extraordinary, this person should not only be honest and responsible, but also have an upward heart, the word "reed" contains such a deep meaning. ”

"Shhhh Lu Benwei, Lu Benwei, good, good! ”

The old farmer gasped and said hello three times in succession, but he really didn't expect that this simple word 'reed' could analyze so many deep meanings.

Xu Boqing smiled slightly: "It's good if the donor is satisfied~"

"The ......"

The old farmer took out two copper plates from his arms, handed them over, and asked a little crampedly: "Little fairy, this... Is it enough? ”

Xu Boqing saw that his hands were black and rough, full of calluses, and there was still some dirt in his nails.

He took the money disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, you are satisfied......"
