Chapter Seventy-Seven: Tea Divination

The wine entered the throat and intestines, and the morning sun in the distance was like fire.

On the official road, Mr. Tsing Yi walked alone, a fairy sword hidden by his side.

The gourd on his waist swayed endlessly.

Walk through the mortal world to find a confused 'solution'.

……

Before leaving, Xiao Liu filled the gourd with two large jars of wine, and the wine must have been enough to drink along the way.

It didn't take long for Chen Changsheng to walk out of Qiuyuefang.

There is a restaurant on the side of the official road, some drinks, plus some side dishes, which can make passers-by have food and clothing.

There are not many people in the restaurant, firstly, because Qiuyuefang is remote, and there are few people in the layman, only some passing officials and pedestrians will eat something here.

Chen Changsheng walked into the restaurant and said, "The store is disturbed, can Chen ask for directions?" ”

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a sackcloth shirt, and the business of the restaurant is bleak, so he is not wealthy.

"Sir, may I ask." The shopkeeper said.

"If you go to Beijing, but take this road?"

"Exactly."

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "From this road all the way forward, after seeing the water, and then follow the river all the way to the ferry, there is a boat at the ferry, and then you have to turn again, three times by water, about half a month to get to Beijing." ”

After hearing this, Chen Changsheng thanked him: "Thank you, store." ”

"It's a trivial matter, but Mr. went to Beijing to take the exam? Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea? The shopkeeper asked.

Chen Changsheng said helplessly: "Chen came out and forgot to bring the silver taels, I'm afraid I can't afford to pay." ”

The shopkeeper was also generous, and said with a wave of his hand: "A cup of tea is not worth a few dollars, and I don't charge Mr. Yin." ”

Chen Changsheng entered the restaurant, and the store poured two cups of tea to entertain the gentleman.

"Mr. is going to Beijing without silver taels?" The store was a little puzzled.

Chen Changsheng said: "Someone answered later. ”

The shopkeeper nodded in knowledge and said, "That's good, there are a lot of students who have gone to Beijing to take the exam over the years, and it is the first time I have seen Mr. You are so bookish." ”

"Angry?" Chen Changsheng paused and said.

"yes."

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "People say that there is a fragrance of ink on the body of the reader, the stronger the fragrance, the heavier the anger of the book, but Mr. You are different, there is no ink fragrance on your body, but you are the kind of person who knows at a glance that he has read a lot of books." ”

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Chen has read a lot of books, but they are just some miscellaneous books. ”

"That's weird." The store was a little confused.

Chen Changsheng asked, "The store seems to have seen a lot of scholars?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "In the past, students who went to Beijing to take the exam would come to me to drink a cup of tea before going on the road, and they would see more when they came and went." ”

He is not touting the gentleman in front of him, but at a glance, he can give people a feeling of brightness, which is different from all scholars.

"Will they come?" Chen Changsheng paused and said.

The shopkeeper explained: "This restaurant is left by the ancestors, at that time, the scholars in the workshop will drink a bowl of tea here when they go to Beijing to part, one is to practice, the other is to make an oath, and later it has become an unwritten rule, and students who go to Beijing to take the exam do not charge tea money here." ”

Chen Changsheng paused for a moment and said, "Forgive me, Chen didn't go to Beijing to take the exam. ”

"It's fine." The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "There is a lot of tea." ”

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Chen has taken advantage." ”

"What is a cup of tea cheap, Mr. said with a smile." The shopkeeper laughed as he spoke.

Chen Changsheng looked at the restaurant and asked, "How long has this restaurant been open?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "It's been more than 100 years, and it's still my grandfather who opened it." ”

"It's been like this for more than 100 years, confiscating the tea money?"

"Indeed."

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "At that time, the ancestors hoped that the younger generations could produce a talented person, and the reason for not charging tea money was also to get angry with some books and make a good fate. ”

"But the shopkeeper's son?" Chen Changsheng asked.

The shopkeeper nodded, "Exactly." ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Autumn has to go in August, there are still about two months, and you can still prepare." ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "It's only been these two months, so now he doesn't need to take care of the restaurant here, so he can study with peace of mind." ”

Chen Changsheng nodded in understanding after hearing this.

He glanced down at the tea on the table, and after a little thought, he said: "Chen can't drink the store's tea in vain, but Chen knows a little bit about divination, so he can calculate Ling Lang's luck in this autumn for the store, what does the store think?" ”

"Sir, do you still understand this?" The shopkeeper seemed a little surprised.

Chen Changsheng said: "On a whim, I pondered a little. ”

The shopkeeper was willing, and then asked, "Does that require anything?" ”

"The shopkeeper just told me Linglang's name."

"My son's name is Li Anfu, Ansheng An, and Fu of Fu."

Chen Changsheng nodded in understanding.

He stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers.

The shopkeeper saw that Chen Changsheng was calculating, but he didn't take it seriously, he just calculated it at will.

He doesn't believe in fortune telling.

Chen Changsheng's hand paused and looked at the store.

The shopkeeper asked, "Did you figure it out?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "In this hexagram, Ling Lang is not a shallow learner, and there is the name of Ling Lang among the one hundred and thirty-seven people on the list in Qiuyu, ranking sixty-five. ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "Sixty-five! It's very good to be able to get in, so let's borrow Mr. Jiyan. ”

Chen Changsheng smiled warmly and said: "Thank you for the tea in the store today, Chen Mou is on the red dust, and when he returns, he will come to drink tea again, and Chen will definitely bring silver taels at that time." ”

"Eh, tea is not worth a few dollars, sir, it should be the tea money in the future."

The shopkeeper laughed, and he found the gentleman more and more amused.

It seems that this gentleman really doesn't like to owe others, even if it is a cup of tea money, he has to nag for so long, but when he thinks about it, extraordinary people must have something extraordinary.

After drinking the tea, Chen Changsheng said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and then left the restaurant and walked towards the road ahead as the shopkeeper said.

The shopkeeper stood at the door, with a simple smile on his face.

"This gentleman is really interesting, like a scholar but pinching his fingers and telling fortunes, and there are also appearances."

The shopkeeper muttered, and then said to himself, "Sixty-five ......."

He shook his head, feeling pity.

It would be nice if it was true, of course he knew what level his son was.

"If you can be on the list, it will really be eight lifetimes of virtue."

With that, the shopkeeper went back to the restaurant, and after two days, he forgot about it.

……

Chen Changsheng glanced back at the restaurant.

After a moment, Chen Changsheng retracted his gaze and said something in his mouth.

"Be blessed."

The morning sun greeted the green shirt, and there should be a road between the roads.
