At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 523

Li Chunfeng did not accept the bamboo stick from Gao Bufan, but stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This Mr. Gao is no better than others. If you want to ask a hexagram, you have to charge more than others."

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and thought to themselves, could it be that this Taoist saw the identity of the lord?

Shu'er frowned and said, "Didn't monks say that all living beings are equal? ​​They are both asking hexagrams, why are the prices different?"

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "The equality of all living beings is just a nonsense of Buddhism. People in the world are born unequal. How can all living beings be equal? ​​It's like a girl who was born to be a servant, but this girl was born to be a master. Things matter, and fate matters." Noble and humble!"

Shu'er was speechless for a moment, Cui Shirou hurriedly said: "I have treated Shu'er as my own sister since I was a child."

"Girl!" Shu Er was so touched that her eye circles were red.

Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "That's because the girl has a kind heart. Just like what Pindao said just now, girl, you have kindness in your heart, which is invaluable."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Li Daochang has such a sharp tongue, since that's the case, how much will Li Daochang charge me for a calculation?"

Li Chunfeng rolled his eyes, took out a piece of wood from his bag, it turned out to be a Xiangxi (chess) board, stroked his beard and said: "Well, if the poor man's signing divination satisfies the young master, the young master will reward the poor man for a while." For the copper coins on the auxiliary chessboard, put one coin on the first grid, two coins on the second grid, four coins on the third grid, and so on, each grid is twice as much as the previous one, how about it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding people breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that Li Chunfeng would open his mouth like a lion, but they didn't expect that it was just a chessboard filled with copper coins. up.

Shu'er laughed and said: "What is it worth, don't talk about Mr. Gao, even I, a maidservant, can afford it."

Gao Bufan was very speechless, the little girl's film is not afraid of the wind flashing her tongue, you can afford it, and it's not enough to sell you dozens of times. The increase of this method seems to be small at first, but in the end Finally, each grid is an astronomical number. How many grids are there on a chess board?It seems to be about seventy squares, that's two to the seventieth power, and it's only the amount of copper coins needed for one square, tsk tsk, maybe it's not enough to sell the whole Youzhou!

Li Chunfeng looked at Gao Bufan, stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word!

Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Cui Jiuling frowned, obviously counting silently, and finally their complexions gradually changed, becoming more and more ugly.Cui Shirou didn't take it seriously at first, but when she found that everyone's complexions were not right, she did some calculations, and immediately covered her small mouth in surprise. what!

"Brother Gao!" Cui Shirou called out anxiously, obviously fearing that Gao Bufan would be fooled.

Gao Bufan smiled and nodded at Cui Shirou, the latter couldn't help but his pretty face turned hot, and then he realized that Brother Gao was much smarter than himself, how could Brother Gao not understand what he understood.

"Li Daochang is a high-ranking man, I'm afraid his life is not so expensive." Gao Bufan shook his head and said.

As soon as this statement came out, the people watching the excitement all around couldn't help but feel that Gao Bufan was stingy, and he couldn't part with a thousand coins, and his clothes probably cost more than ten thousand coins.

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "Although Poor Dao is not good at reading faces, he still has a little discernment when asking himself. Your life is only more expensive than this."

Gao Bufan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I really can't afford so much money, otherwise, how about painting a painting for Li Daochang as a reward?"

Li Chunfeng was stunned for a moment: "Painting? Could it be that Mr. Gao is the national player of Danqing?"

"Cough, it should be counted." Gao Bufan said boldly.

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui immediately raised their heads to look up at the sky. Your Excellency's handwriting is indeed not bad, but let's not mention the paintings. How dare you call yourself the national master of Danqing after you have mastered the six orifices?
Cui Shirou has never seen Gao Bufan's paintings. At this moment, Brother Gao has a confident face, and his beautiful eyes are full of admiration and expectation. It turns out that Brother Gao is not only good at poetry, but also can paint!

Li Chunfeng also seemed to be curious, and said with a smile: "The young master is indeed full of talent. If so, then it's settled. Please give the lottery to the poor Taoist."

Gao Bufan handed the lottery in his hand to Li Chunfeng, and the latter took it and said in a loud voice: "It's a happy time for the change of the flying dragon, and today's ascension is expected. It's auspicious to seek wealth, and it's no doubt that it's more auspicious to seek official positions. Hey, It’s also a top-notch one.”

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui looked at each other happily, this lottery is so powerful!
Li Chunfeng looked at Gao Bufan carefully, and then chanted: "The poem says: Shoot an arrow into a red heart, and everyone will say it well. The day is long and the rooster sings at noon, and real fire makes real gold."

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "Why?"

Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "This lottery can't be solved by a poor man, the young master understands it himself, well, I will give this lottery to the young master."

After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he handed the bamboo stick to Gao Bufan, then packed up and prepared to leave.

Everyone couldn't help but look astonished, what's the matter with this Taoist priest, isn't it too unkind to say that half of it is to keep people's appetite, isn't it?

Gao Bufan didn't seem to take it seriously, he smiled and said, "Wait a minute!"

Li Chunfeng put down ten copper coins on the table, waved his hand and said, "Don't ask, young master, keep this lottery, and you will know later."

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Then Li Daochang doesn't plan to take the painting below?"

"If Mr. Gao is willing to give the painting, the poor will naturally ask for it." Li Chunfeng said.

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Does Li Daochang want to stay in the city tonight?"

"The poor Taoist will stay here for a few days, and naturally stay in the city."

"Okay, I will let someone send the painting to Li Daochang for appreciation." After Gao Bufan finished speaking, he turned around and walked with the bamboo stick, and suddenly stopped and turned to greet: "Rou'er, let's go back to the city go!"

Cui Shirou let out a sigh, and hurriedly followed, Xiafei's cheeks were delicate and well-behaved, and her heart was sweet.Cui Jiuling sighed secretly, it seems that this girl will soon be someone else's girl.

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, smiling tacitly, that your lord has no offspring so far, so they naturally don't object to your lord marrying more houses, and judging from the divination that Cui Shirou asked just now, this girl will give birth to a precious son early, wouldn't it be more Okay, it's just... is Qinghe Cui willing to live by his side?

…………

"Marriage is originally determined in the previous life, and this is the good relationship in the previous life. The unicorn with good virtue enters the dream, and the noble son is blessed until the end of life." Cui Hu happily paced back and forth in the study, saying: "This is really what Rou'er asked for. signed?"

Cui Jiuling nodded and said: "Yes, Daoist Li also said that my sister, Hong Luan, is moving, and good things are coming soon. It will be years ago, and next year if it is late. Yes, Mr. Gao was there at that time, so he must have seen it."

Cui Hu rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and said with a laugh: "This is a match made in heaven. The unicorn will fall into a dream, and the noble son will be blessed until the end of his life. Good! Good! Good!"

As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a child. If Rou'er marries Changqing, although she can't sit upright, but if she can give birth to the eldest son to the Gao family first, her status will rise in the future. Well, this matter can't be delayed any longer, it has to be put on the agenda Okay, for the sake of Rou'er's lifelong happiness, this old face is going to be sold out.

At this time Cui Jiuling said again: "Master Gao also asked for a lottery, but Li Daochang hesitated to say anything, saying that this lottery could not be solved, and also gave the hexagram lottery to Mr. Gao, saying that we will see the result in the future."

Cui Hu's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "What signature?"

Cui Jiuling still remembered, so he chanted: "It's a happy time for Feilong to change, and this day's ascension is expected. It's auspicious to seek wealth, and it's even more doubtful to seek official advancement."

Cui Hu's eyes brightened when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked: "Then what else did Daoist Li say?"

Cui Jiuling said: "There is also a poem attached: Shoot an arrow into a red heart, and everyone will say it well. The day is long and the rooster sings noon, and real fire refines real gold."

The joy in Cui Hu's eyes became even brighter, and he stroked his palms and said, "This Daoist Li is indeed a bit of a Taoist, Ling'er, in the future, you must assist the chief minister, be an official butcher, and return to your hometown with good clothes. The future can be expected!"

Cui Jiuling was slightly startled, and nodded solemnly.

Cui Hu smiled and said: "It's not too late, father, let's talk to the old patriarch about Rou'er's marriage." After speaking, he left happily.

Let's say that when Gao Bufan returned to the mansion, the beautiful servant Ming Cui changed his outer clothes and fetched water to wash his face.

In fact, Gao Bufan didn't go out for an outing in the city today, but went to the school grounds to watch Xu Shiji's military training, so his body was full of travel and dust.

"Hey, young master, what is this?" the beautiful maid curiously picked up the hexagram stick Gao Bufan put on the table and asked.

Ming Cui still called him Master Gao Bufan all the time, this unique title is only Gao Dashao, other people's families usually call him a certain man, or a certain son.

"When I entered the city, I met a Taoist priest and asked for a lottery." Gao Bufan replied.

Ming Cui laughed and said: "Then why did the young master take back all the hexagrams from others? If one is missing, how will they do business in the future."

"It was given to me by a Taoist priest."

"What a strange Taoist priest!" Ming Cui muttered, then looked at the sign on it curiously, and then turned the back and read: "Han Gaozu ascended the throne, and he went to the upper hexagram. It's incredible, this is really big!"

"Han Gaozu enthroned" is the hexagram name of this sign, Gao Bufan naturally saw it, smiled and said: "It's just a way for charlatans to make a big splash, why make a fuss about it."

Ming Cui carefully put away the hexagram sign, and said with a smile: "Whether it's grandstanding or not, the servant girl will keep it for you, young master."

Gao Bufan stood up and walked to the case, opened a piece of rice paper, took out a charcoal pencil, and began to draw with rustle.

"Hey, what did the young master draw?" Ming Cui came over to look curiously, and found that the young master had drawn three circles of different sizes on the paper, and some oval-shaped trajectories.

"You don't understand even if you tell me." Gao Bufan tapped the beautiful servant girl's forehead, and the latter pouted her lips, and walked away contentedly.

What Gao Bufan drew is the revolution map of the sun, the earth and the moon. Hey, Li Chunfeng is good at astrology and arithmetic, and he is also a great mathematician. Bi Suan Jing, etc., have made great contributions to astronomy and mathematics.

Gao Bufan felt that Li Chunfeng should be shocked when he saw this picture!
Of course, Gao Bufan didn't want to subvert Li Chunfeng's world view, he just thought that such a talent should find a way to stay, and to keep such a talent, naturally he had to do what he liked.
