I dig ancient tombs for the country

Chapter 6: The Fortune Teller

We walked into the hall with the middle-aged man, and saw that the walls were surrounded by glass arms, and there were many small shelves of jade and jade, as well as some porcelain and pottery jars.

At the back of the hall is a small reception room. A thin old man in his fifties is sitting on the sofa. His gray hair is combed shiny and his eyes are shining sharply. He is wearing a gray and white silk Tang suit. Rolling a pair of Wenwan walnuts in his hand.

This is Master Cai?The two of us came to Master Cai anxiously, and he stared at us with a scrutinizing look, as if to say that these two brats dare to rob the tomb?My scalp was numb from Master Cai's sharp gaze, and I felt uneasy.

Brother Sen came forward with a smile and bowed his waist, "Master Cai, these are my two little fellows I told you about. Regardless of their young age, they can work neatly and have good eyesight." After speaking, Brother Sen stood respectfully aside and waited for Master Cai to reply.

Master Cai walked up to both of us, rolling the walnuts in his hands back and forth, and we stood upright, not knowing what to say for a moment.Master Cai wandered around the two of us for a few laps before he let out a heavy "hum": "It's okay, you look very energetic. From now on, you two will follow Uncle Bing and work hard. I will never treat you badly."

Hongmao and I both shouted respectfully, "Master Cai." Master Cai waved his hand, and then we were taken out by Uncle Bing.

Next, we were arranged by Uncle Bing to greet the guests in the front hall, and learn some knowledge about identifying jade jewelry by the way.The two of us have never been exposed to these things, so we study very seriously, for fear of being laughed at by others.

During the day, we followed the shopkeeper and listened to the shopkeeper’s introduction of all kinds of curios placed in the armrest. At night, we both read books in bed and discussed the origin and value of various porcelain and jade. We learned a lot these days. It was also very fulfilling.

One morning, Uncle Bing told the two of us not to go to the store, but to go to the stalls outside to see if there was anything eye-catching, and by the way, we could actually compare and compare.

The two of us happily came to the street, one street and two rows were full of street stalls, and there were all kinds of things on the stalls, and we were dazzled by looking at them.People are in groups, lingering and forgetting to return, so lively.

We followed the flow of people towards the center of the street. As we walked, we saw a fortune-telling stall surrounded by many people. An old man wearing glasses was sitting in front of a table with eight immortals. The old man was about 50 years old. Aged, with a goatee and a black silk gown.On the table are tortoise shells for divination, bamboo sticks, copper coins of the Five Great Emperors and Five Little Emperors, and a compass for geomantic omen.A flag was hung on a tree next to it, with a few large characters written on it: There is no arbitrariness in judgment.

At this time, we saw so many people gathered in front of the fortune-telling booth, so we stepped forward curiously to watch the excitement.I saw the fortune teller was showing a middle-aged man, and the fortune teller talked eloquently: "Mr. Guan has a full vestibule, high and long eyebrows, and full ears. Let's look at your birth date, March 1956, 3 On the day of the day, the monkey is a monkey, the monkey on the mountain, the fire on the mountain, the pig and the monkey are incompatible, you can’t find a pig. You got married when you were 13 years old, and your lover is a chicken. I don’t know if I’m right?"

The fortune teller stroked his goatee and looked complacent.We looked at the middle-aged man together, and the man immediately replied happily: "Yes, yes, sir, please continue."

The fortune teller shook his voice, and continued: "Judging from your face and birth date, you are destined to have many daughters. If I'm right, you have four daughters and one son." The middle-aged man stood up excitedly and shouted, "Mr. is really a fortune teller."

The fortune teller pressed his hand towards the middle-aged man, meaning you sit down first.After the middle-aged man sat down, the fortune teller pretended to be mysterious and said: "I think Mr. Yintang is shining, and his eyes are bright. When you are 30 years old, you will have a prosperous official career and have the appearance of an official."

"That's right, I happened to be thirty last year. I was favored by the leader, and now I'm the leader of the bureau." The middle-aged man's eyes lit up again with excitement, and the way he looked at the fortune-teller was different.

All the people around the stall were talking about it. This fortune teller is indeed called a fortune teller. He has been setting up a stall on this street for about five years, and his reputation is quite good.I listened to other people's comments, and I smiled contemptuously. Most of these fortune tellers are fools, so I don't believe it.

While I was wandering, the fortune teller shook his head and stroked his goatee: "However, sir, you will have a bad luck after the age of 45, but the heavens and the earth are against the moon, and the Lord has damage to the body and official positions, and there are The villain is causing trouble."

"Ah!" The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise: "Then, does the gentleman have a solution?" Everyone looked at the fortune-teller together with a "swish".Look, I'm starting to deceive people, I'm slandering in my heart, and I'm even more disdainful in my eyes.

The fortune teller closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then stretched out his withered fingers to calculate, muttering what he was talking about?It took a long time before I opened my eyes, looked at the middle-aged man and said solemnly: "Because a villain is jealous of your prosperity, he dug a hole and buried a thing in the southeast corner of your ancestral grave, using it to occupy your ancestral grave by force." , you find this thing, burn it with fire, remember to remember.”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man knelt down on the ground with a "plop", with tears in his eyes: "Thank you sir, I, Ren Zhong'an, will never forget the great kindness of your guidance." In Mr.'s hand, he left with a thousand thanks.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, a girl in her twenties sat down at the table and said, "Sir, let me have a fortune too." The fortune-teller looked at the girl carefully for a while, and then asked the girl to report her own fortune. Birthday horoscope.

"August 1963, 8 is the end of time." The girl looked at the fortune teller and announced her birth date.

The fortune teller stretched out his finger again, muttering words, pinching his fingers and counting: "Girl, you are a rabbit, you were born in the year of Kuimao, you are born in gold foil, and the dragon and the rabbit are restrained. Excuse me, I have found a partner who belongs to the dragon. If you are not compatible, three days A quarrel between the two ends."

"Yes, sir's calculations are quite accurate." The girl's eyes lit up, and she asked shyly, "Although we often quarrel, we have a deep relationship and don't want to separate. I wonder if there is a way to break it?"

The fortune teller went on to say: "When the girl was 12 years old, she was handed in the Guihai Universiade, her studies were not high, and she committed a crime of Ma Xing. She left home at the age of 16 and went to Anyang. It is suitable to get married when you are married, and it is best to find the three zodiac signs of dog, sheep, and pig, and the others are average."

"Oh" the girl was slightly disappointed: "But the calculation is quite accurate, sir, I did leave home to Anyang at the age of 16, and I also started working at the age of 19, but I am exactly 24 years old this year, and there is only one person who belongs to the dragon. Boy friend."

"It's not difficult. The girl is at a young age and has a successful career. Are you afraid that you won't find a good match? Judging by the girl's appearance, the girl will spend money on the treasury in the future, and she will work alone. 42-year-old Jiao Bingyin Universiade, the official sits for a long life, the Lord has a large investment in construction, and a lifetime of wealth and treasury is a rich man."

"Thank you sir for your good words, but is there a solution to my marriage?" The girl looked at the fortune teller intently with her eyes full of hope.

"As the old saying goes, let nature take its course, everything has its own destiny, you can't force it, remember it." The fortune teller looked solemnly, his eyes looked up at the sky, thoughtful.

Well, it's noon, and it's not easy to see through the secrets. If anyone has a fortune to calculate, please come tomorrow, and the old man will do the calculation for him.

Everyone dispersed, and Hong Mao and I were about to leave when suddenly the fortune teller pointed at me and said, "Can you listen to me, young man?" I was taken aback, wondering what the fortune teller was going to tell me?
