Chapter 8: The First Hexagram
Fortune teller to send eggs?
The people in the bazaar had never heard such a saying, and they couldn't help but gather around.
But it is also limited to stopping around the hexagram stall to watch.
How can there be such a good thing in the world, help you calculate the fortune and give you eggs, don't be a new deception, right?
[Plan pass. 】
Jiang Fuyuan glanced at the crowd of people who were looking at the mountain eggs, and the corners of his mouth smiled and increased the chips: "The first one to tell the hexagram, send two eggs!" ”
The crowd let out a "whoa" exclaim.
Just now, the stall owner said that this mountain egg is ten yuan, and two can be twenty yuan, which can be worth half a catty of pork leg meat.
Behind Jiang Fuyuan's insight, her eldest baby Ke Mingsong couldn't help frowning in distress.
He had planned to take the eggs home and hide them before they were sold, along with the other food he had secretly stockpiled.
Even if he has been able to eat every meal for more than a month, he still can't get rid of the habit of hiding food, and he always feels that such a day is too good to be realistic.
Several times he couldn't help but put his ear to his brother's chest in the middle of the night to hear if there was a heartbeat.
He always suspected that he and his brother had actually starved to death, and now they were all visions of the afterlife.
Jiang Fuyuan didn't know what the big cub was thinking, she just wanted to increase it now.
This kind of mysterious business, someone must come out and say the truth, and tell others that she is accurate in divination.
"Three eggs, ten counts in a limited time, and no one wants to count them when I finish counting, I can only say that the opportunity has not yet arrived." She pretended to let her eyes down and sigh.
No longer looking at the crowd of chatter, she counted to herself.
"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"
When the countdown was to three, a lame old woman squeezed in front of the hexagram stall and said in a dumb voice: "I count." ”
Jiang Fuyuan hurriedly brought the bench under her ass to the old woman, and helped her sit down before she smiled and asked, "What does the old woman want to count?" ”
The old woman only stared at the mountain egg with a pair of cloudy eyes: "What is it with the lady." ”
She's here for the eggs.
It doesn't matter what it counts, whether it's accurate or not, as long as she is really given three eggs in the end.
The old woman's naked eyes could be seen by anyone, and a few people in the crowd covered their mouths and chuckled, and they gathered closer as if they were lively.
Jiang Fuyuan turned a blind eye to all this, and only focused on the old woman's face.
The three yin are narrow and narrow, there are few fields and houses in the home, and the pavilion is plump, and it should be rich in old age, but a scar crosses the pavilion and breaks the appearance of Fenglong.
Fortunately, the left and right cheeks are full, and there is a faint red light, which is the gas phase of the noble offspring that is about to be born.
"Does the old woman have a daughter-in-law who is about to give birth?"
The lame old woman was shocked, she didn't say anything about everything in the family, how did this hexagram lady know that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth.
There were people in the crowd who knew the lame old woman, and they were also shocked when they heard the words, and bowed their heads to each other and whispered to each other.
"How does she know about Granny Zhao's family?"
"Maybe it's a guess, or she has already inquired about the situation of Granny Zhao's house, and the fortune tellers are like this."
"I don't think so, she looks at her face, it's not from our town, maybe she has real skills?"
"Oh, if you want me to say, she is just guessing, what kind of immortal zun you heard her say, I haven't heard of it......"
The sound of the twittering discussion reached the ears of others, and there were more people participating in the discussion, and there were more curious people, and everyone craned their necks to look at the hexagram stall, waiting for Jiang Fuyuan's next words.
The lame old woman was suspicious in her heart, looked Jiang Fukite up and down, and after making sure that this hexagram lady did not know her, she couldn't help but ask: "May I ask the lady, can my daughter-in-law give birth safely?" Was it a grandson or a granddaughter? ”
Granny Zhao has only one son, and she is also a cripple, and it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law to continue the incense, of course Granny Zhao hopes to have a big fat grandson.
Gender is not within the scope of physiognomy, Jiang Fuyuan only replied with a smile: "They are all blessed children, old woman, you still have to make a fortune." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Someone raised his voice and coaxed: "Disperse, disperse, she is a liar, who doesn't know that Mrs. Zhao's family is so poor that she can't afford to eat, so she can still make a fortune?" ”
Another burst of laughter.
Granny Zhao's face turned red in laughter, and her thin fingers tightly grabbed the egg basket: "It's over, the three eggs that the lady said should be given to me!" ”
She showed her old face and was willing to tell the hexagram in front of everyone, these three eggs were what she deserved.
If this hexagram lady dares to repent, she will lift this hexagram stall!
Jiang Fuyuan slowly picked out the three largest mountain eggs and stuffed them into Granny Zhao's hands: "Fuyuan Immortal Venerable has the most important reputation, and I and other believers never go back on their word." ”
Putting the three mountain eggs in her arms, Granny Zhao lowered her head and dragged her lame feet, squeezing away the laughing crowd as fast as she could, and rushed home.
She walked so fast, with her head buried so low, as if she could leave the laughter behind her, and all the misery in the distance that could not be seen.
The daughter-in-law, as usual, held her big belly and leaned against the door early to wait for her.
"Mother-in-law is back, I came back so early today, is the needlework and thread all sold out?"
She is inconvenient and cannot go to the market to stall, so she does some needlework at home on weekdays, so that her mother-in-law can take it to sell it to subsidize the family.
Granny Zhao wiped the thin sweat on her forehead and squeezed out a smile: "Hey, yes, it's early to close the stall today." ”
As she spoke, she pulled her daughter-in-law and stretched out her hand to touch the mountain eggs, and whispered in a suppressed voice, "We have delicious food today." ”
On the way, she thought about it, three mountain eggs were boiled, her son ate one, and her daughter-in-law had to eat two, so that the baby pimple in her stomach could also be mended.
"Yikes! Where did the eggs come from? The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family looked surprised.
The family is poor, they can't afford to raise chickens, and eggs are also a rarity.
"You don't care." Granny Zhao said happily, "I'll go make a fire and cook, you go and see if the medicine for Wu'er is ready." ”
The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family nodded obediently, turned around and went to the house to look at the medicine jar, and before she had walked a few steps, she suddenly tripped over something under her feet, and her heart shrank in shock, and a stream of heat instantly flowed down the root of her thigh.
"Mother...... Mother-in-law, I feel like I'm about to give birth ......"
When a woman gives birth to a child, she has been in the ghost gate since ancient times.
Zhao Fu listened to his daughter-in-law crying hoarsely in the house, and Wen Po's "force" urged him to be heartbroken and anxious, dragging his lame legs around the yard.
"Mother, didn't you say that it would be born next month, why did Cui'er move so early?"
Granny Zhao had a bitter face: "I'...... I don't know, Cui'er was fine, so she tripped over it...... Oh, God willing......"
In her opinion, she blames the hexagram lady, and what she said is a blessed child, it must be her nonsense that attracted God's attention, so that Cui'er was born prematurely.
Granny Zhao couldn't wait to go back to the hexagram stall at this time and tear it up.
"There's nothing in our yard, why did you stumble......"
Walking to the position where the old lady said that the daughter-in-law was moving, Zhao Fu suddenly found that there was a small bulge on the ground.
The porcelain white is round, like a ...... The top lid of the jar?
Pull it a few times with your hand, and there are still cyan lines.
Zhao Fu hurriedly continued to dig, and after a while, he dug out a white porcelain altar of two fists and the size of the combination.
Shake and rattle.
He simply opened the lid and turned the altar upside down, instantly pouring out a pile of copper plates, and there were a few small pieces of silver inside.
Granny Zhao was stunned, she had lived here for decades, and she never knew that there was a money jar buried in her yard.
At this moment, there were loud baby cries in the house.
Wen Po happily shouted: "Born and born!" It's a dragon and phoenix fetus! ”
