Chapter 16. Daming local tyrants come to report
The next day, the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
Early in the morning, Liu Wenyang and his father finished washing up and ate a few steamed buns under hot water, just pretending it was breakfast, and then they hurriedly took the guise of fortune-telling and then set up a stall to tell fortunes in Chenghuang Temple.
It was different from last time. It was extremely deserted when I came here last time. Not to mention people, there was not even a bird. But today, there were two or three people standing in front of their stall. It seemed that the event was done well yesterday, but there was an old customer.
The three people who were waiting were two men and one woman, and the two men were a pair of brothers. The younger brother was kind, sincere and diligent, and had a stable family life. The older brother was lazy and greedy, and he was over 35 years old and was alone.
Yesterday, my brother's iron pot was stolen, so he called his brother to the City God Temple to ask the fortune teller to see if he could be retrieved before the New Year.
Liu Da knew that his fortune telling skills were not good enough, so he handed over the first business to Liu Wenyang for handling, hoping that he could do it more accurately.
By the way, when doing business, you need to be a good start. If the first business is booming, it will open well later.
However, Liu Wenyang was not interested in this first business. Isn’t it just a fuss? He has to spend so much effort to ask for fortune-telling?
But he didn't know that at this time, there was nothing valuable in ordinary families in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention a pot, even a rice bowl and a teacup were very expensive.
However, since my father took on this business, Liu Wenyang did not refuse much. Instead, the two brothers were a little confused because Liu Wenyang was not old and didn't even have a beard on his chin. As the saying goes, he couldn't do anything with no hair on his mouth. He didn't look like the old man next to him, with a big handful of elegant goatee, and he looked very fairy-like.
Liu Wenyang saw their thoughts, but slowly called the younger brother who had lost the iron pot and wrote a word, saying that he would help him test the words.
So the man wrote the word "four" upright.
Liu Wenyang thought for a moment and said, "The iron pot was stolen by your brother."
The brother next to him changed his face.
The younger brother glanced at the changed brother suspiciously, and turned around and asked, "What is the basis?"
Liu Wenyang explained: "The 'er' in the character 'four' is moved to the 'mouth', which is the character 'brother', so your iron pot is now in your brother's house."
"Fortune-telling, don't talk nonsense to get rid of our brothers' relationship!" The brother was angry and angry, "You are talking nonsense, you know that you have to go to jail for stolen people!"
Liu Wenyang smiled and said, "I'm just telling the truth, what's the crime?"
"Okay, you can test me a word too!" After that, the brother raised his brush angrily and wrote the cursive "four" character by hand.
Liu Wenyang looked at the word and smiled, "What does it mean to not talk about yourself? This is it! This word is like an iron pot, but there is a crack in the iron pot. It seems that you stole the brother's house because your iron pot was broken, right?"
Looking at the brother's face again, he never thought that Liu Wenyang would be so accurate!
The younger brother is not a fool. The reason why he brought his brother here was because he was suspicious. There was no need to say anything at this time. After paying the remuneration, the two brothers went back to make trouble. After all, they were brothers, and it was impossible to tear their faces apart for a pot of iron.
The people watching the audience applauded. The people who had already met Liu Wenyang yesterday were not very good, but those who had first seen Liu Wenyang's unique skills were clamoring for the wonderful.
Liu Wenyang is immune to these praises. On the contrary, his father Liu Da felt happy when he saw so many people praising his son, and felt that the stronger his son, the more honor he was.
The next fortune teller was the woman, dressed in an ordinary manner, which showed that she was a small family. It turned out that her husband went out to do business and was about to end the year and had not returned yet. She wanted to calculate when her husband would return home.
When Liu Wenyang watched her, his eyes couldn't help but jump slightly, and then he saw her "Couple Palace" appear dull.
"Martial Palace of Marriage" is also known as "Rapical Gate", which refers to the skin at the end of a person's eyebrows to the temple. The appearance method is like this, and the rheumatism is caused by cramps, such as scars, birthmarks, hemorrhoids, etc., which will cause the couple to live in discord and their relationship will be frustrated. However, what Liu Wenyang saw was a faint blue broken mark, and he guessed that her husband might have an accident and would never come back.
Liu Wenyang sighed in his heart. Seeing that the woman looked hopeful and still staring at her, she couldn't even say this inference.
The father Liu Da next to him had never seen his baby son telling fortunes so hesitantly and hesitantly, so he kicked him secretly with his feet. Liu Wenyang understood and said, "Your husband may have a big business outside, and it is possible to delay the day of going home. You don't have to care too much, you just need to buy New Year's goods and hope that he will return home!"
The woman was so happy that she got this hexagram. She had been worried and suspicious for many days. She said thank you in a blunt way, put down the reward and left happily.
Looking at the woman's happy back, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but sigh that the first time he didn't tell the result according to the art of observing the appearance, it seemed that his heart was still too soft... Damn, now I just hope that this woman won't come back and smash her own sign in the future.
It was a good time to open the door. Liu Wenyang observed the magical calculations. In less than half an hour, the Liu family’s fortune telling stall had already earned a full reward of 100 million yuan.
My father was ecstatic about such achievements. You must know that in the past, I could only earn more than ten cents a day, but now it has increased by more than ten times! It is estimated that according to this situation, I can earn at least seven or eight hundred or even thousands of cents a day, so there is really hope to repay the debt.
The Liu family's fortune telling stall was so lively that it attracted some people who came out of the City God Temple. Most of these people had their fortunes at Zhang Tiezui, and they could only regard this as a fun thing when they saw it. However, some of them were different.
This man is very handsome and dressed in a gorgeous manner. He is one of the top charity and rich men in the town. This marquis is forty-three this year. Although he has many wives and concubines in his family, he has given birth to five daughters in one breath as if he has put all the dumplings on it. However, none of them has brought their hands. It can be said that he has no children yet.
Fang Yuanwai was so sad that who would inherit his own property in the future? Who would take care of his ancestor's mourning hall? Fortunately, this time the woman in the family was happy again and was about to be about to give birth. Fang Yuanwai became scheming and ran to the City God Temple. One came to pray to the gods and Buddhas to hope that the family would be more children, and the other was to ask the Tiezui God to calculate the divination and see if this time it was a man or a woman. Unexpectedly, after the Tiezui criticized his horoscope, he decided that this time it was a girl.
Fang Yuanwai felt pain in his heart. He was thinking that he had never done anything bad in his life and he always spent money and porridge. What was he doing? It was not to accumulate good deeds and virtues, and to keep incense for the Fang family, but he seemed to have no hope.
Although he thought so in his heart, Yuanwai Fang was very unwilling to accept it, so he wondered whether to let the young young man from the fortune telling stall calculate a fortune for himself.
Next to him, the old butler who followed Fang Yuanwai seemed to see the master's thoughts and said, "Master, I heard that this young man's character test is very effective. Why not let him test the character test, and maybe some miracle will happen."
"Oh, what else can I do? That magical fortune teller has already said that this child is a daughter again!" Fang Yuanwai said this, but his feet walked towards the fortune teller stall.
"Hey, borrow light, borrow light! Please come here by the master!" The old butler quickly arranged everyone and asked Fang Shiwai to come to the fortune telling stall.
Although Fang Manwai felt miserable inside, he was as imposing as a rainbow on the surface. He gave the old housekeeper a wink. The old housekeeper dropped a ingot of silver and said, "I'll give you this ingot of silver, and I'll test the words for our master!"
"Wow, so much money!"
"Yes, at least one or two!"
"It's so generous!"
The people next to him couldn't help but scream.
The old butler put his hands on his hips and posed his majestic. For him, the most enjoyable thing was at this moment when the master paid for it and he was majestic.
Dad Liu Da didn't expect such a rich man to fall from the sky. He hurriedly swept the chair with his sleeves and asked the guest to sit down. He looked at the silver ingot and thought to himself, don't fly the cooked duck!
Liu Wenyang was also shocked by the other party's generous attack and jumped a few more times. Damn, a rich man!
You should know that for two days, he received almost all the hardships. He charges at most three cents, and some even can only pay one cent. He is generous like this, and there is no customer at all.
I got one tael of silver and now I have nearly 700 yuan. I am so generous in fortune telling in front of the stall that this person seems not simple.
With such thoughts, Liu Wenyang became serious, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he stared at Fang Yuanwai's face. Like a scanner, he instantly divided the face of Fang Yuanwai into several parts, and various information rushed towards him.
"But I wonder what word you want to test?" Liu Wenyang asked with a smile after being confident.
Seeing that he was so sure, he had a much better impression of this young master, at least not so rough. As for what words to write... he looked around and happened to see the wine guitar in the shop not far away, so he picked up his pen and wrote the word "nine" on the white paper.
After writing the words, before the Fang official could speak, Liu Wenyang had already said first: "Congratulations, you will have an extraordinary son!"
Yuanwai was shocked. Before he could ask anything, why did he say he had a son?!
While feeling surprised, I couldn't help but look respectful, and clasped my fists and said, "I would like to ask for details."
Liu Wenyang wiped his nose with his hands and smiled and said, "It's very simple. Look at your rosy face and your descendants are bulging. There must be joy in the family. Nine is a yang number, so you will know how to have a boy. The word "nine" looks like "nine", but it is not "nice", so you know that he will not be ordinary in the future."
Liu Wenyang then asked Fang Yuanwai: "Is pregnant woman your side room?"
Fang Yuanwai was even more surprised and replied: "That's right. How do you know?"
Liu Wenyang said: "The nine characters are like 'yuan' rather than 'yuan', so I know they are not Yuanfu. But adding the nine characters to the room will become the word 'yuan'. You must be careful of any traitors in the room."
Fang Yuanwai now regarded Liu Wenyang as a god and said in surprise: "It's incredible! The pregnant woman I asked was originally a maid. After she became pregnant, she aroused the jealousy of her concubines and tried every means to get her an abortion. I wonder if the child can be preserved?"
Liu Wenyang said: "Nine is the tail of the word "官" and the child will be completely and unharmed! So congratulations to you in advance, and you will be happy to have a son!"
"Hahaha!" Fang Yuanwai couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Have you heard it, have you heard it?! This young gentleman said I would be happy to have a noble son, while Zhang Shensun of the City God Temple said that I would have another daughter, one is a son and the other is a daughter. Who do you think I believe in?!"
"Of course it's Mr. Xiao Liu, he's very accurate!"
"No, Zhang Shenju is more accurate! He is also more famous than this young gentleman!"
"Yes, Zhang Shensun is famous for his iron-mouthed divine punishment. I guess this little brother is trying to flatter some silver flower flowers!"
...
People around him expressed their opinions, but in the eyes of most people, Liu Wenyang's physiognomy is still not as good as Zhang Tiezui.
The Fang Man Wai saw that he had made the scene cool, and he wanted this effect. In his opinion, he was eager to be a child. Regardless of whether the little fortune teller was accurate or not, it would be better to get a good lottery.
"Okay, don't say anything more!" Fang Yuanwai stopped everyone's discussion with great momentum, then looked at Liu Wenyang, who looked calm and without any timidity, and said, "Is Mr. Xiao Liu? I like to say something directly. Today I am very satisfied with the character test of you, but who is more accurate in your appearance or Zhang Shenxiang? It depends on whether my concubine gave birth to a man or a woman when she was about to give birth to a man or a woman. If you say it is a man, then someone in our side will set off firecrackers to give you a plaque and make you famous! If you calculate it wrong, then you are sorry, and I will break up your fortune telling stall that deceives gods and deceives ghosts!"
Everyone around was stunned by Fang Yuanwai's move. Unexpectedly, Fang Yuanwai, who usually smiled, had such an angry side.
Who is Liu Wenyang? He picked up the silver ingot and threw it in his hand and said with a smile: "Then we will make a decision! However, many people once said they wanted to break up my stall, but my stall is still fine now. I really hope that you can do it by Fang Yuanwai!"
Confident enough!
Enough to behave!
Everyone around them praised him with great sympathy.
In fact, what someone is thinking at the moment is that if you throw your head, it won’t be worth a lot of money if you smash this broken stall. At worst, I will start a new job!
Official Liu did not care about the dark side of the fortune telling stall. No one knew about it. Everyone saw his confidence and generosity against Fang Yuanwai. Therefore, after Fang Yuanwai led his entourage away, more and more people gathered in front of the Liu family's fortune telling stall, and the situation was even more prosperous than before.
Some of these people saw Liu Wenyang's divine calculator yesterday, some were impressed by his character test just now, and some were just watching the fun.
Among these people, there are some women who are attracted by Liu Wenyang's handsome appearance. Therefore, sometimes "family" in business is important, while Master Liu's "family" is first-class.
