Chapter 279

Jin'er looked at Lin Shuhang, Lin Shuhang smiled at her, and waved his hand.

Jin'er understood, opened the door and said, "Who is it, who is yelling! My uncle is not at home. The front office is on holiday for a few days, and my uncle went outing with the young lady yesterday!"

I saw the person at the door wearing the costume of the Privy Council Messenger, and he was slightly taken aback when he heard the words: "This is the order of the Taiwei..."

Jin'er doesn't care what Taiwei Gao is, she only knows that the eldest son-in-law is the biggest, if he told her to say that he is not at home just now, even if the sky is falling, even if the emperor comes, the son-in-law is still not at home.

"Oh, you are so annoying. I told you that my uncle is not here, so I can't make it out for you, can I? Maybe my uncle will come back at noon tomorrow. If you want to find it, come back tomorrow!"

As he said that, he closed the door with a slam, and turned his head excitedly to find my aunt, to ask how I was doing, and to ask for a few compliments, but my aunt had long since disappeared from the room.

Lin Shuhang jumped out from the side window.

With Gao Yanei's disposition, he must have already told his father what happened yesterday, and there will be no good things to come. Before his plan is implemented, he can't let himself be imprisoned or be fettered by him, that would be too much. If there is a delay, of course, you can just dismiss it casually.

Gao Qiu just summoned him. After all, Lin Chong didn't do anything yesterday, and he was still a bit jealous of Lin Chong's identity. Since he didn't intend to use force, he could play Tai Chi casually to delay the time.

And Lin Shuhang on the street no longer looked like Lin Chong, but changed into a Taoist robe, holding a sign in his hand, pretending to be a fortune teller.

The Taoist robe was temporarily sewn by Mrs. Lin and Jin'er in the past two days, claiming that wearing the alchemy formation makes it feel more comfortable.

To say that Lin Chong himself is handsome and powerful, and his figure is quite tall. Even if there is a picture of mountains and rivers on his face to help change his makeup, he is still very different from those fortune tellers on the street who are hunched over and have dog skin plasters on their faces, but It is precisely because of this difference that it makes him look particularly eye-catching...

Go straight all the way to Jinglongmen in the north.

In Kaifeng at this time, apart from the Bianhe Street on the side of Xiangguo Temple, Jinglongmenwai Street and Fengqiu Street are also very bustling and lively places, and the vicinity is full of dignitaries. Jinglongmenwai Street and Fengqiu Street In the middle is the famous Wangfu Street, where the grown-up princes, as long as they are not enfeoffed princes, almost all live here.

Therefore, the consumption in this neighborhood is also extremely high. Even a simple meal costs at least two taels of silver. Although there are not as many people as there are in Bianhe Street on the whole, as the saying goes, all the contacts are rich and powerful, and there are no white people. The Eight Classics belonged to the kind of rich and honored place where a brick can be smashed out and a third-rank official can be smashed out.

Arriving here, Lin Shuhang found a bustling teahouse entrance, and then set up the flag that he had been keeping.

I saw a pair of couplets in the last letter, which said, "calculate 3000 years before and 3000 years after, push back the words in the picture, I just take it easy".

In the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang’s back-tweeting pictures were already quite famous in the Northern Song Dynasty. They were known as the book of divine fortune-telling. Its predictions for celebrities such as Wu Zetian and Yang Guifei were all fulfilled, and more importantly, they were fulfilled. A celebrity in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, the Empress Dowager Liu who listened to the government behind the curtain during the Renzong period of the Song Dynasty. Its age is less than a hundred years ago, but the emperors and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty and even the common people have worshiped this wonderful book like a god.

But at this time, Lin Shuhang actually said that he was "just waiting for him". With such a tone, I am afraid that there is only one fortune teller in the world.

As soon as this signboard was played, it immediately attracted the attention of many people without shouting.

By the window of the attic on the second floor, there was a young man dressed in rich clothes and said with a smile: "Hey! That fortune teller, what skills do you have to praise Haikou? Do you dare to make a fortune with me? You are right, I will reward you very much, young master." , I’m not sure, I have to let you eat the board, do you dare to do it?”

Fortune-telling... This thing is actually far less mysterious and profound than ordinary people imagine.

The so-called Zhouyi gossip and Qimen Dunjia can all count Xiaotian Dao's life, but they are often counted as a "general trend", and as those fortune tellers said, even what you will do in the future, whether you can become an official and make a fortune, and whether you can live Calculating how many years old is pure nonsense.

The so-called double treasures of fortune-telling, fortune-tellers generally rely on two skills, one is the terms of algorithms such as Zhouyi gossip and Qimen Dunjia, which are specially used to fool people. Of course, if you really have the skills, you can calculate a little bit In the general direction, combined with a little analysis of your status and status, and with a certain amount of speech, the result is often more right than wrong, and that is what people call a half-immortal.

And if you can't figure it out, then you can rely on the other most important ability. To put it bluntly, it is the fortune teller's personal vision, experience, and ability to read dishes and talk to fool people.

Although Lin Shuhang has never studied the Book of Changes, he is familiar with the gossip. It evolved from the 64 hexagrams, not to mention Qimen Dunjia. Back then Zhuge Liang taught him Xiaoqimen Dunjia, and he was already proficient in Xiaoqimen. , use some technical terms to fool people, there is no problem at all, and since I come from the modern age thousands of years later, I really say that I can predict the future, who dares to have an opinion?
As for the fool, he had fooled the entire Tufang tribe into a daze as early as a thousand years ago, not to mention that today is different from the past, but he has a real weapon in his hand that he never had when he was in the Tufang tribe!
I own the Encyclopedia of Time and Space, as long as I have a first name, a surname, and a date of birth, I can let the simulator retrieve the other party's information on the Encyclopedia of Time and Space... Then Hugh said that it is such a big thing as his fate, then Even counting how many poops he pooped yesterday, and how many catties and taels each poop weighs, he can tell the exact exact thing.

With this sharp weapon, are you afraid of hair?

If you come here today, you may not be able to wait for the person you want to see, but you are here to make a name for yourself!
At this time, he smiled slightly, looked up, and saw that the person who called out just now was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was born full of heaven and his earlobes were over his shoulders. .

He asked lightly: "A lot of money? Dare I ask you, how much is it?"

The young master took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and put it on the window sill: "Is this heavy enough?"

Lin Shuhang laughed: "I have heard for a long time that Bianjing is the center of the world, and this Wangfu Street is where the world's power and wealth gather, but it is unexpected that there is a sour smell of poverty everywhere. How dare you call it a mere ten taels of silver?" Heavy? Too little, too little!"

There was a slight silence all around.

These days, ten taels of silver is really a lot. According to many records in the Water Margin, like Lu Zhishen bought wine and meat, arranged for a dozen rascals to eat and drink, but only spent two taels of silver, which is about at least 2022 in 2000. Yuan, the twelve taels is ten thousand.

Such a trick-like fortune-telling, directly giving [-], if you have to say that you are rich and powerful at any time, the fortune-tellers probably want to flock to them, but this person not only did not thank him, but instead called it a small amount, and even ridiculed the poor...

After a little silence, there was a lot of laughter in the surrounding teahouses, not laughing at the fortune teller, but laughing at the young man who was underestimated by a quack fortune teller.

After the young master was stunned for a moment, his face was a bit uneasy. He was accompanied by two servants. Seeing the master being humiliated, he wanted to rush downstairs to teach Lin Shuhang a lesson, but the young master waved his hand to stop him.

Brother Young Master squinted his eyes, he was born well, and he also had some scheming.

At this time, if someone beats the fortune teller, wouldn't it mean that he is really poor and can't afford money?
He squinted his eyes and asked, "Then how much do you want?"

Lin Shuhang smiled slightly: "If you are a poor fortune teller, if you meet a destined person who is born rich and honored, not only will you not get a penny, but you will be greeted with great courtesy, but if it is not destined, a divination will cost a hundred gold!"

hundred gold...

In the Northern Song Dynasty, one tael of gold was equal to about 20 taels of silver, and now the Northern Song Dynasty also participated in the war between the Liao and Jin Dynasties. During the war, gold was always more valuable, and the exchange rate with silver was about 1:30. That's 3000 taels of silver.

As he said that, Lin Shuhang looked at the young master slowly: "Young master, do you want to count?"

I thought that the person only opened his mouth for a hundred taels of silver, so he would have to gamble a month's worth of money and have to verify the authenticity, but he didn't expect this person to open his mouth for a hundred taels of gold, which was really beyond his ability to bear.

If the calculation is inaccurate, he can still beat him up easily, but if the calculation is really accurate, can he still renege on his debt under the eyes of everyone?As for what is predestined and not predestined, it is just an excuse. I am afraid that there will be no predestined person for him in this world. Whoever believes in him is an idiot.

It's just that it's hard to get off the tiger at this time, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "If you are not sure, so what?"

But seeing Lin Shuhang waved his hand casually, he actually took out five huge ingots of gold ingots, judging by their size, they were exactly the standard 20 taels of gold.

The unit of measurement in the Song Dynasty was 16 taels per catty, so these five ingots of gold weighed a total of six catties and four taels. It can be seen that the Taoist robe has wide sleeves and no backpack, so I don't know how he got it just now.

Lin Shuhang laughed and said: "If I said that I smashed my signboard, I thought it would be unfair to you, then so be it. If the calculation is not accurate, how about I pay a hundred taels of gold?"

The five ingots of huge gold ingots were put out and thrown on the stone steps so casually, which really seemed to treat money like dung, and the golden ingots shining in the sun were even more eye-catching.

If there were people who thought that the fortune teller was joking before, they all changed their views involuntarily at this moment, and even the young master did not dare to underestimate him.

Can a person who can easily take out a hundred taels of gold be an ordinary person?Moreover, with this wealth, he even came to the street to set up a stall to tell fortunes... This is also a strange person!

Gold, gambling, and strange people are the most exciting things in any era. In addition, the guests here are all rich and idle, not only in the attic, but also the spectators around the teahouse. Immediately, they all gathered around and booed.

It was just a little ridicule from the young master to the fortune teller, but now it has turned into an eye-catching and popular event.

At this time, the son-in-law was already on the verge of riding a tiger.

One hundred taels of gold... He doesn't have so much money for a year. I'm afraid he will have to stay at home for nearly two years without eating, drinking or playing. Let him play such a big bet, he really has no confidence , but at this moment, from the eyes of countless eyes around him, it is impossible to just say cowardly now.

"Bet, bet!" He gritted his teeth fiercely, slapped the window sill hard, and decided to ask a difficult question: "What would you be?"

Lin Shuhang, however, was lukewarm, and said with a smile: "That depends on what you want, young master?"

After all, that young master has also been in the market, and he has some understanding of the three religions and nine streams, and knows some tricks of fortune tellers. He is just a person who has investigated you in advance, and after getting your information, he deliberately teases you for fortune-telling, but he just used what he already knew , Tell some information about you, in order to win people's trust.

He sneered at this moment and said: "Many people know my name Cao Xun in Bianjing, and even more people know my life. If you take this to test you, you will not be able to test your ability."

Cao Xun... really deserves to be called Wangfu Avenue, a celebrity can be thrown out with a random brick.

This person is the son of Cao Zu in the Hall of Giving of the current dynasty, and is also one of the courtiers who accompanied Huizong and Qinzong to the north in the official history. After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, he fled from the Kingdom of Jin under the order of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty had an audience with Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, and wrote the famous "Northern Hunting Experience Record", which has great reference value for later generations to study the knowledge and psychological journey of Huizong and Qinzong when they were escorted from Kaifeng to Yanjing.

This is indeed a blessed person. Although he accompanied the Hui and Qin sects to go north in his prime of life, and has been devoting himself to rescue the two sects since then, but he failed all his life. But at least he was a rare one among the courtiers who went north. , and in the Southern Song Dynasty from official to Taiwei, he was promoted to the positions of Huangcheng Secretary and Kaifu Yitong, and was even posthumously awarded as Taibao after his death. He could barely be regarded as a high-ranking official.

Lin Shuhang smiled and said, "Young master, please come up with a topic at will. As long as it is within these three realms, there is nothing I cannot figure out."

Cao Xun pondered for a while, pointed to the servant beside him and said, "This man's surname is Chen Mingzhong, you may figure out his life and future?"

Lin Shuhang asked: "Is there a birth date?"

The servant said.

But seeing Lin Shuhang counting with his fingers, his fingers were as fast as the wind, and he looked like that, he really has some skills.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, although the aura of heaven and earth has been thinned, the Taoist traditions are still vigorous. Song Huizong is the famous emperor of Taoism. An accurate fortune teller, and his speaking skills are unparalleled in the world.

Cao Xun obviously understands this, and also knows that these Taoists are extremely good at rhetoric, no matter whether the other party is accurate or not, if he wants to argue with cunning words, he is afraid that he will not win the debate, so he has to be ruthless...

He was thinking about countermeasures, but saw that the fortune teller had already laughed.

He took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down two sentences, and said at the same time: "This little brother's life is miserable."

"I lost my mother at the age of three, my father at the age of six, and was sold into a government slave when I was young..."

Just listening to Lin Shuhang's eloquent narration at this time, he didn't just give a rough outline like an ordinary fortune teller. Instead, he explained everything about this servant from birth to the present, including the birthmark on his buttocks. , How many meals have been eaten at the host's house... There is no detail about it, no details about it.

The people around couldn't help but looked at the servant, but saw that the servant named Chen Zhong was already dumbfounded at this moment, his eyes were full of red, and just by his expression, he knew that he was doing well.

Sure enough, Cao Xun frowned and looked at his servant. Even if he wanted to win, he would not let his servant play tricks in public, so he just asked, "Is that true?"

Chen Zhong's eyes were red, he held back for a long time before he nodded involuntarily, he couldn't help crying: "Thinking of the villain's life, grief comes from the heart, young master, don't blame..."

When the voice fell, there was an uproar all around.

Fortune-telling, is there anyone who can do this?This, how is this possible?Beyond cognition, this is simply shocking!

Cao Xun's face turned red and white: "You only talked about his past, but not his future! Who knows if you just met him before?"

This statement was obviously a bit far-fetched, there were a lot of laughter around, obviously some people began to feel that Cao Xun couldn't afford to lose.

But where did the hundred taels of gold come from to lose to him?I can only bite the bullet and hold on.

"Tell me about his future! What is his future fate?"

Let people talk about the future, which is obviously cheating.

Lin Shuhang smiled slightly, but he couldn't see through his mind, so he just smiled and said: "This person has a chance of sixty-eight, so he is at the end of his life. You must wait until he is sixty-eight to admit defeat and then pay me for the bet?"

Cao Xun was planning this plan, but he didn't expect to be yelled at by people, and there were a lot of laughter and laughter around him. His face was red and white, but he suddenly thought of a plan: "You said he died at the age of 68?"

"good."

"No pain?"

Lin Shuhang responded: "Very healthy."

"That's good!" Cao Xun suddenly slapped the table and stood up. Before waiting for the reaction of the people around him, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and slashed at Chen Zhong's right hand.

"what!"

The sudden change not only caused Chen Zhong to scream, but also everyone around him was startled, and many people screamed out.

But seeing Cao Xun's face full of evil, he pointed at Chen Zhong's severed hand, and laughed wildly: "Didn't you say that he was free from illness and pain, and died in a healthy life? But now he is disabled, you fortune-teller, What else is there to say now!"
