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

The sleeping time was short. Xu Dongsheng had been in the countryside for a few days. Maybe he was used to his bed or something, but he didn't sleep well. So after he came back, Xu Dongsheng slept particularly soundly. So when his biological clock rang in the morning, Xu Dongsheng also slept for a while. He didn't get up until Old Xu got up, and then he helped make breakfast.

The breakfast is a simple corn porridge, served with a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of braised meat, and a bowl of cabbage soup. Although there are only two dishes and one soup, this is already the highest living standard in the courtyard. Even Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the backyard who ranks third in salary, can only eat scrambled eggs.

There were not many people eating fried eggs in the courtyard, so the aroma of fried eggs was really charming. Children would pass by Xu Dongsheng's house from time to time, just wanting to smell the aroma of fried eggs, but even if Xu Dongsheng and his son did not invite them, they would not enter the house, because after eating, they had to return the food.

After eating someone else's fried eggs, I'll go home and have fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Xu Dongsheng's family ate scrambled eggs, while the second and third children of Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard ate their favorite big slaps. Seeing that Xu Dongsheng's family's life had improved because of Xu Dongsheng, and his family was still relying on him for food, he wished that the second and third children could go out to work now.

So this morning, the second brother Liu Guangtian and the third brother Liu Guangfu were beaten just for taking a look at the scrambled eggs on the table.

The beating of children by Liu Haizhong's family was already commonplace in the courtyard, and no one cared. Even the king of heaven could not stop a father from beating his son. So the Liu Guangtian brothers could only be beaten in vain.

"Dongsheng, are you going to go shopping today? Or stay home?"

After dinner, Old Xu was going to work. Someone had already left the courtyard gate, so Old Xu had to leave too. When he left, Old Xu saw Xu Dongsheng cleaning up the dishes and thought, Xu Dongsheng is just a little young, otherwise it would be better for him to get married. However, Old Xu thought that even if he didn't get married, it would be okay to have a date. So Old Xu planned to lead Xu Dongsheng in this direction.

"I'll take a look. The original plan was to go fishing and relax. If I'm lucky and catch some fish, I can also submit the completed task."

Xu Dongsheng had already thought about it before he fell asleep last night. If it wasn't a bad omen, he would go fishing to relax. He was an expert in fishing, so he might as well use it. If he only caught one or two big fish, no one would say anything.

"You are so mature at such a young age. The mission is important, but you also need to combine work with rest. Why don't you go to the Temple of Heaven or the Temple of Earth?"

Seeing that Xu Dongsheng was always on duty, Old Xu immediately said that he wanted to relax and asked Xu Dongsheng to go to the park. However, as soon as the old man mentioned these two places, Xu Dongsheng knew what Old Xu was thinking. The Temple of Heaven Park and the Temple of Earth Park were both good places for dating and chatting, and also for taking pictures of mother-in-law. Old Xu was thinking about his daughter-in-law.

"Don't worry, Dad. With our looks, we are much better than anyone else. With our family conditions, as long as I get old enough, there will be a girl waiting for me. You don't have to worry about it. Ah, go slowly on the way to work."

Xu Dongsheng understood what Old Xu meant, and immediately told him that with such good conditions, it would be impossible for him not to get married. Old Xu thought about it and it seemed to be true. With their family conditions, as long as they were not picky about family background, Xu Dongsheng could pick any girl he wanted.

Thinking of this, Old Xu felt relieved. He watched a man about his age passing by the door, called out to Old Zhang and wait, then trotted out of the courtyard.

After Old Xu left, Xu Dongsheng cleaned up the dishes in a short while. There was only lard in the food, so it was cleaned up after blanching it in boiling water. It was quite simple.

Xu Dongsheng placed the scraps he had gotten from fortune-telling in the past few days, including soap, porcelain bowls, and brooms that were usable at home, at home, then entered his room, locked the door, and silently recited fortune-telling. Immediately, coins began to roll.

"One is Yin, two is Yang, three is Yin, four is Yin, five is Yang, and six is ​​Yang. Xun is on top and Kan is on the bottom, this is the Feng Shui Huan hexagram. There is wind on the water. I can tell without looking at the yellow list. This hexagram is very auspicious."

Soon, the yin and yang of the six lines came out, and Xu Dongsheng got the name of the hexagram. Looking at the hexagram, Xu Dongsheng felt happy, and then his mind shook, and Xu Dongsheng's consciousness came to the yellow list.

I saw the golden hexagram on the yellow board: Huan: Heng. The king has a temple. It is beneficial to cross the river, and it is beneficial to be steadfast.

Below is the gray hexagram text.

"The first six: Use the strong horse to save, auspicious.

Nine Two: The mechanism is loose and the regrets will disappear.

63: Relax your mind and have no regrets.

64: To disperse the group is extremely auspicious. To disperse the group is incredible.

Nine and five: Huan Khan, his great name is Huan, the king resides, without fault.

Upper Nine: Let the blood flow freely, and go far away, without any fault.

It can be seen from the hexagram that this is an auspicious hexagram, just like the king going into the temple to offer sacrifices and divine, it is beneficial to cross a river, and there is no harm in the hexagrams from the first line to the ninth line, so Xu Dongsheng does not need to pay attention to anything.

After getting a lucky divination, Xu Dongsheng felt much better. Today was destined to be a day of harvest. He immediately pushed his bicycle out of the room, took out his fishing rod, and prepared to go fishing.

"Dongsheng, you just came back. Don't you want to take a rest? Why are you going out so early?"

Xu Dongsheng had just come out of the house and was about to lock the door when two people came out from the central courtyard. They were none other than Jia Dongxu and his apprentice. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu came out one after the other and arrived at the door of Xu Dongsheng's house.

"Hey, this is a tough task. I've been in the countryside for a few days and I'm going to go fishing in Shichahai to relax. If I'm lucky enough to catch two fish, that would be even better."

Xu Dongsheng did not hide it. Anyway, even if he did not tell them, they would know about it. Moreover, these two people seemed to come to see him specifically. Xu Dongsheng looked at Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai standing in the middle of the courtyard and knew that these two people would not come to the temple for no reason.

"That's true, Dongsheng. I heard that you came back with a bag of eggs yesterday. That's great. You can benefit yourself."

Jia Dongxu waited for Xu Dongsheng to lock the door, then he spoke and asked Xu Dongsheng about the eggs he brought back yesterday.

"Brother Dongxu, you can't say such things. Am I seeking benefits for myself? It's as if I, as a purchaser, have so much power that I can abuse it for personal gain. When I went to purchase the eggs, I bought them at the normal market price. The villagers felt bad and gave them to me as gifts. But I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of farmers. I gave them things in exchange.

How come in your eyes, Brother Dongxu, I am using my identity as a buyer to seek benefits for myself? If that is the case, then you have to report all the buyers in Sijiucheng, no, almost all of them. We deal with the common people in the countryside, it is normal to recognize relatives and make friends. It seems that there is nothing wrong with friends and relatives giving us some things and giving red envelopes to children, right?"

This doesn't seem to be a talk, it seems to be looking for trouble. Although Jia Dongxu said this unintentionally, as if it was a simple joke, if other people heard it, it would be Xu Dongsheng abusing his power for personal gain. It doesn't matter if you lose your job, but if you go to jail, your reputation will kill you these days.

Although these are the benefits of the purchasers, if someone is determined to take advantage of them, even if they don't make you squat in the mud fence, you will at least be disgusted. Therefore, Xu Dongsheng immediately glanced at Jia Dongxu and talked about the source of the eggs with a formal expression, and expanded the conflict.

"Ahem, Dongsheng, Dongxu said something wrong. You buyers are really hard-working. It's normal for your fellow villagers to thank you. Dongxu just got excited all of a sudden."

Seeing that Xu Dongsheng looked unhappy, Jia Dongxu was also irritated by Xu Dongsheng's tone. They came to ask Xu Dongsheng for help, not to make Xu Dongsheng fall out with them, so Yi Zhonghai quickly restrained Jia Dongxu and spoke to Xu Dongsheng in a gentle tone.

"Haha, I'm excited, so I can't say anything careless. Some words can hurt others."

Xu Dongsheng glanced at Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai and pushed his bicycle to leave.
