Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

After receiving all the knowledge, Xu Dongsheng sorted out his gains and fell asleep peacefully. When he woke up, it was already the next morning. Old Xu had already prepared the meal and was ready to call him.

"Will you come with me to the steel mill later or will you go alone?"

After Xu Dongsheng finished washing up, he came to the living room, sat down, picked up his bowl and prepared to eat. At this time, Old Xu asked Xu Dongsheng whether he wanted to go with him or alone.

"I'll go alone, so I don't have to worry about people asking me all sorts of questions."

Xu Dongsheng shook his head and said that he would go to the steel mill alone. Otherwise, if he went with Old Xu, everyone would know that Xu Dongsheng's family had two working parents, and he was a purchasing agent. Although the job was hard, there were many benefits, and he would have to ask questions all the time.

Although everyone is very enthusiastic now, there are always people who are jealous of others, so it is better to keep a low profile. In this way, as long as you don't offend others, basically no one will come up to cause trouble. So Xu Dongsheng is ready to go on his own.

And the most important point is that Xu Dongsheng wanted to have his fortune told before going out. Although it would not take much time, he would not have to think about other things when he was alone.

"Okay, it's up to you to decide. I don't think you'll be allowed to go to work today. You'll report for duty and start your job next Monday, so you'll probably just go through the process and come back."

Xu Dazhuang nodded and said nothing more. After eating and drinking, Old Xu took a rest and Xu Dongsheng started to wash the dishes. When it was almost time, Old Xu left. Xu Dongsheng washed his face again, then returned to the room and summoned the three copper coins.

"Fortune telling."

At Xu Dongsheng's command, the three copper plate projections began to flip and change in his palm. After turning six times, they stopped and returned to their original state.

"One is Yin, two and three are Yang, four is Yin, five and six are Yang, Xun is on top and Xun is on the bottom, six clash hexagrams, Xun hexagram."

While Xu Dongsheng was remembering the results of the changes on the copper coin, he was also trying to recall what hexagram it was. When Xu Dongsheng got the name of the hexagram, the copper coin began to vibrate, and then Xu Dongsheng's consciousness came to the yellow list.

It only read: "Xun: Xun: Small prosperity. It will be beneficial to go somewhere and to meet great men." This hexagram was much better than yesterday. Xu Dongsheng looked at the golden hexagram on the yellow list and nodded, then looked at the gray hexagram at the back.

"The first six: advance and retreat, it is good for the warriors to be steadfast.

Nine two: Xun is under the bed, using historians and sorcerers for discussion. It is auspicious and there will be no blame.

Nine three: Frequent and stingy.

64: Regret will disappear, and the land will yield the third grade.

Nine-five: Zhenji, regrets will disappear, nothing will be disadvantageous. No beginning but an end. First Geng three days, then Geng three days, auspicious.

Upper Nine: Xun is under the bed, and the axe is lost. It is bad to be firm.

Xu Dongsheng had an explanation for the six lines of hexagrams. The first line said that those who wanted to march and fight could advance or retreat. The second line said that when doing things, there might be villains who would do evil things, but as long as you hide yourself and use the Shiwutang, you can restrain them.

The third line says that you are suppressed and frowned, but as long as you don't force yourself to stand out, the result will be good. The fourth line talks about not being upset about not getting something, and finally you will get three items from hunting, which means a good harvest.

The fifth line has a similar meaning, there will be gains after losses, and there will be good results. The last line says that there may be thieves, and if you don’t face them head-on, but choose to hide under the bed in fear, you will lose your money.

After the hexagram was shaken and the lines were analyzed, it was a good omen and suitable for going out. Xu Dongsheng immediately went out to his door without any hesitation.

Today is Saturday, but teachers and students still have classes, just like workers, working six days a week and resting one day, and doing voluntary labor and cleaning on the last day. So Xu Dongsheng didn't run into Yan Bugui when he went out, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter.

"Pooh!"

However, although he did not see Yan Bugui, he saw the third aunt. When the third aunt saw Xu Dongsheng, she made a "spit" sound to the side. Xu Dongsheng knew the reason, so he just curled his lips and smiled, and went to the gate of the courtyard.

"Dongsheng, wait."

Xu Dongsheng had just left the courtyard when he heard a shout from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Xu Damao. Xu Dongsheng didn't know when Xu Damao came back yesterday. Today, Xu Dongsheng was dressed more simply, just like any other employee who went to work in the steel mill, wearing blue work pants and a shirt.

"Brother Damao, are you going to work too? Do you have a screening task today?"

When he saw that it was Xu Damao, Xu Dongsheng did not have much discrimination or hatred. Although Xu Damao in his memory was quite annoying, and the novels he read in his previous life all said that Xu Damao was not a good person, Xu Dongsheng had no memory of Xu Damao bullying him or their family.

And Xu Dongsheng remembered that someone commented on Xu Damao, that although he was not a good person, he was the most sober one. Although he and Sha Zhu fought for nothing and was often bullied by him, when things happened, Sha Zhu stole someone else's wife, and the other person reminded him several times in a subtle way. If anyone was to blame, it could only be Sha Zhu himself.

After all, no matter who it is, if your wife separates from you and then climbs into the bed of someone else living in the same compound, if you have a bad temper, she would be doing you a favor if she doesn't burn your house down.

So even though Xu Dongsheng has been exposed to a lot of online articles, he has no ill feelings towards Xu Damao, who has never offended him.

"Yes, my dad was transferred to a brother factory today to show movies. And I'm going to tell you a secret. You are not allowed to tell anyone else."

As Xu Damao spoke, he couldn't hide the smile on his face at all. It was obvious that good things were coming.

"Oh? What good news did Brother Damao have? Tell me about it, so I can share in the good news."

Xu Dongsheng looked at Xu Damao who was eager to perform, and did not spoil his interest. He immediately cooperated and asked him what good news he had.

"Hey, I haven't even told you this yet, and you already know it's a good thing?"

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard Xu Dongsheng's words.

"It's written all over your face."

Xu Dongsheng smiled and pointed at Xu Damao's face and said.

"Really? Is it that obvious?"

Xu Damao wanted to check whether his expression was so obvious. However, neither of them had a mirror, so Xu Damao had to give up and told Xu Dongsheng the secret he wanted to tell.

"Hey, your brother Damao is going to set up his own business. My dad said that after he takes me to the Brothers Factory to show a movie today, he will retire from the steel mill. Then I can directly take over his position and become the projectionist of the steel mill."

As Xu Damao was talking about why he was so happy, the corners of his mouth turned up like an AK, unable to be suppressed.

"What about your father? The workstation replacement system that was promoted two years ago only allows the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled to retire, and then their children take over. Your father seems to be in good health, right?"

Xu Dongsheng was a little puzzled when he heard this. According to his memory, Xu Damao now had no chance of inheriting Old Xu's position.

He is not like Xu Dongsheng's family. Old Xu will be sixty in two years. He will be able to retire then and he can take his place. But this cannot happen with Xu Damao, right?
