Chapter 40: Longevity is a destiny
The thin man walked over to Chen Cheng and sat down, looked around, and whispered, "Easy is easy." ”
Chen Cheng bowed his head, this is a hexagram for Yi Ji. "What is it?" he asked. ”
The thin man said, "Longevity." ”
Chen Cheng continued to bow his head, today is Yi Ji's birthday, count the number of life, of course, pick up good words. But how can he know what word measurement? After pondering for a while, he had an idea and began to talk nonsense: "Yi, Zhou Yi." So the lifespan is weeks. ”
"How much is a week?" The thin man asked confusedly.
Chen Cheng smiled, although he couldn't tell fortunes, he would be a magic stick. The god stick and the Internet god are similar, just deliberately misinterpret it, and it doesn't matter if it's far-fetched.
He said: "The cycle repeats, there is a beginning and an end. ”
"How do you solve the problem of having a beginning and an end?" The thin man is confused and expectant.
He said, "Nature is consummation." If it is not complete, it has a beginning and no end. "He doesn't say how long he will live, he just says ambiguous things. Perfection, of course, is a matter of opinion. If he dies now, it is okay to insist that he is perfect.
The thin man was really satisfied with this answer, nodded thoughtfully, and directly took two ingots and five taels of official silver to him. Leaving in silence.
He still seemed to be looking for someone in the crowd. After a while, he saw someone and greeted him with the same expression. I think it is another "word tester" that he is optimistic about in advance.
Ma Chunhua took the silver and played with it in her hand.
Chen Cheng couldn't help but be amused: "My family's spring flowers, what's so fun about silver?" ”
Ma Chunhua said proudly: "I have never seen so much silver." ”
Chen Cheng was dumbfounded: "It's only ten taels." Our master guarantees a dart, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, right? Have you ever seen so much silver? ”
Ma Chunhua said: "But I have never seen it so easy to make money like Cheng Lang." ”
For her, that's true. The income of the dart master of the Pegasus Dart Bureau is not low, but the hard work is only two or three taels of silver a month. Like Chen Cheng, she can earn ten taels by bragging a few words, and with her experience, it is indeed a bit rare.
Of course, the main thing is that the lover is in the eyes. It is precisely because he likes Chen Cheng that he feels that what he does, as long as he can't do it, is terrible.
On the other hand, no matter what you do, if you just say with a sneer on your face that it's not a big deal, such a person can like you anywhere, but they will never like you as a person.
After waiting for a short time, the people were almost there. Today's main lord has appeared. I saw that Yi Ji, the head of the Kowloon faction, had two gray temples and a white beard under his chin. He walked out with arched hands, his face flushed, richly dressed, and a jasper wrench on the finger of his left hand.
Yi Ji walked to the front and said with a smile: "Thanks to all the friends from the rivers and lakes who came to Yi's birthday today, I don't think it is that Yi has any thin noodles, but that the Kowloon faction is famous in the rivers and lakes, and it is just that Yi is blessed." Yi Mouxi is the head, and I just hope that the name of the Kowloon faction will not be smashed in my hands, that is. ”
Chen Cheng listened to his loud voice and full of energy, these words seemed to be humble, but the tone was actually very conceited. Unconsciously smiled, this was the first head he had ever seen, and it turned out that the temperament of the head and the leader were similar. Of course, he directly counted the cave master like the fifth Xuan as the head of the house.
Next, the disciples said in unison: "I wish the teacher good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”
At this time, the other guests also said: "I wish Mr. Yi good fortune like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." "Someone started up, and everyone basically knew what was going on, so naturally they said it neatly. Although it is not as good as the disciples like a voice, it is not chaotic.
Yi Ji smiled slightly, and said some more words, the words were quite neutral, all of them were official, just like the leaders of Chen Cheng's previous life.
After talking for a long time, the general meaning is to thank you for coming, give him face today, and he will give everyone face in the future. Such a simple sentence was said by him. If you use it for reading comprehension, I don't know how many heroes in the world will be stumped.
Chen Cheng only cheered loudly with everyone, anyway, at this time, he has his own laugher. The laugh leader applauded, and he followed. Ma Chunhua has seen more scenes like this, only Qu Feiyan heard it and even yawned.
Finally, Yi Ji finished speaking. For the three of them, they finally came to the main topic of this birthday banquet, eating. Chen Cheng served vegetables to the second daughter regardless of his face, and whispered to Ma Chunhua about this meal, and they earned some travel expenses, and it should be no problem to save some money to go to Hengshan City, and they can go on the road tomorrow.
After a few more moments, Yi Ji toasted to the table. Chen Cheng stood up with a teacup. He doesn't drink alcohol, as an otaku in his previous life, he is not interested in drinking, and is only keen on fat house happy water. There is no such drink in this life, he prefers to drink tea.
It's just that this inevitably attracts the ridicule of countless people. The emphasis on this is the drinking of heroes and heroes, and the larger the amount of alcohol, the more heroic the people. In fact, there is no scientific truth to this at all.
It's just a test of obedience. If you are allowed to drink, you will drink, which means that you are subject to me.
Chen Chengcai didn't want to get used to them, and held the teacup with a nonchalant face.
When Yi Ji saw this cup, a trace of imperceptible displeasure flashed in his eyes, but his face was still full of smiles. At this time, the thin man who was accompanying Yi Ji suddenly poked his head close to his ear and whispered a few words. Then when Yi Ji looked at Chen Cheng again, the smile on his face was much more real.
Yi Jiman drank this cup, said a few more words, and after taking care of everyone, he suddenly turned to Chen Cheng and said: "The Northern Henan Pegasus Dart Bureau is well-known in the north, and Yi is also admired in the south. Now I see the young heroine of the Pegasus Dart Bureau, which is really extraordinary. ”
This is the first person he has named and praised at this table. When everyone heard this, they looked at him again, and their eyes were different. No wonder he dared not to give Yi Ji face and not drink. It turns out that the friendship between people is not ordinary.
After Yi Ji left and sat down, Chen Cheng whispered to Ma Chunhua: "I estimate that I will send us fifty taels of silver later." ”
"Why?" Ma Chunhua asked curiously.
Chen Cheng said: "Do you still need to say it? I think it was just when his junior brother told him that the criticism in my life was measured by my word test......"
At this, he hesitated again. If you say this, it means that Yi Ji doesn't look up to him because of the fame of the Pegasus Dart Bureau at all, whether he guesses right or not, it is always a little inappropriate to say this in front of Ma Chunhua.
Who knew that Ma Chunhua didn't care: "Oh, I'll just say it." One in Xiangxi, one in northern Henan. My dad hadn't heard of him, and he hadn't heard of my dad either, so that's the norm. ”
In fact, she also knew that the status of the dart game in the martial arts was extremely low. For example, the disciples of the Songshan faction are much louder than the signboard of the Songshan dart master. As long as she doesn't ridicule Pegasus or act in a hurry, she can handle it calmly.
Sure enough, after a while, the thin man came to the door in person, and this time he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels. He lowered his voice and said, "My senior brother is very satisfied with the words you tested. You stay and tell my brother tomorrow. ”
Chen Cheng was dumbfounded, this feudal superstition was engaged. He hurriedly said, "I don't know how to tell fortunes." ”
The thin man frowned: "How can anyone measure words and not know how to count hexagrams?" ”
Chen Cheng almost wanted to say that he couldn't measure words, but when he saw the silver ticket in his hand, he finally endured it, and only said: "Your Excellency's words are not right, just like you said that someone can not punch or kick." But for those who can box, it is common for their feet to be mediocre. ”
The thin man said: "My name is Zhang Zheng, and I am the third junior disciple of the head of Yi. Everyone else calls me Zhang Sanye. ”
Chen Cheng said in passing: "Third Master Zhang." What I thought in my heart was that the third master Zhang in everyone's ordinary mouth was Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. You are also called Zhang Sanye, do you like to be a eunuch?
He also knew that the other party took the initiative to tell the name, which was a sign of the sincerity of the cooperative attitude. But no matter how sincere he is, he won't tell the fortunes.
Zhang Zheng asked, "What's your name?" How can I introduce you to my brother? ”
"Pegasus Dart Bureau, Lu ...... Section. Chen Cheng made a name. Lu was called "three" because the other party, and he subconsciously doubled it. Cole is purely because it is a common male name in his mind. It is known that the word "science" was used as an abbreviation of the word science in later generations, and it was a very common male name in some eras. In this plane, it's not very common.
Zhang Zheng bowed: "Brother Lu." Count one hexagram, twenty taels. ”
Chen Cheng's brows furrowed. If before, it didn't seem strange to let him tell fortunes to ask for a lip show, and spend some silver. This can be done again and again, but for what purpose? He didn't quite believe that it was just a matter of fortune-telling itself.
Zhang Zheng saw that he was silent, and knew that the other party had doubts in his heart, so he said, "As long as my senior brother is satisfied, add another hundred taels." ”
Chen Cheng patted the table: "Lu is familiar with Zhou Yi, and fortune telling is naturally easy." ”
