20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 77 Jiang Hu’s verdict
Since the marriage of Jiang and Hu had been put on the agenda, Xu Ruqing, as the aunt, naturally kept it in her mind. Early the next morning, she asked someone to find connections and invited the "master" from Jiang Xiang's faction.

Although they are all well-connected friends, they are still willing to invite them.

How else can we say that fortune telling is a "golden" business!

Regardless of whether it is a prosperous or troubled time, from princes and generals to ordinary people, whenever the words "luck" and "fate" are mentioned, they feel a little in awe. Even if their calculations are inaccurate, at most they will not give money. , most people would not turn over the table and smash the stall in front of them. Unless they are maliciously looking for trouble, I don't see anyone insisting on begging for nothing from the fortune teller.

Jiang Xiaodao and Hu Xiaoyan followed their aunt's instructions and waited in Jiang Chenghai's house just before noon.

After a while, three small foreign cars came outside the courtyard gate.

Xu Ruqing was sitting at the head of the carriage. As soon as the driver stopped, she jumped down and led the old man and young man behind her into the house door.

Jiang Chenghai heard the commotion and hurriedly led Xiaodao out to greet them. However, the two people he saw were gentle and scholarly in their behavior. If he hadn't known their identities in advance, he would have thought they were some Confucian scholars.

In the jargon, this is called "pressing people with one point". When you stand at attention, you will feel knowledgeable. Before you even speak, you will make people believe you.

Tan Renjun is in his fifties, short and lean. He wears a melon skin hat and a fur coat. He is still shivering and looks very afraid of the cold.

Behind the old man was a young man, who was about the same age as Xiaodao. His brows were sharp and his temples were as sharp as a knife. His appearance was unremarkable, but he looked a bit honest and not too aggressive.

Just as Jiang Chenghai was about to speak, Tan Renjun, speaking with a thick accent, took the lead.

"This must be the famous 'Owl of the Sea'. I have admired you Tan Renjun for a long time! This young boy is my disciple."

The young man immediately stepped forward and said in the same formal manner: "Junior Liu Yansheng has met Senior Jiang."

The young man was quite stunned. As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to kneel down and bow down in front of him, which frightened Jiang Chenghai into quickly stopping him.

"No, no, no, it's not a holiday. We don't care about seniority here. Now that we have entered Guandong and passed Shanhaiguan, we are all brothers side by side."

"Yes!" Jiang Xiaodao echoed, "Here, there are so many old men below six, and ability is the key to seniority!"

Liu Yansheng was slightly startled. His disciple was close to the old Hongmen and had a strong sense of seniority. Now that he saw that Jiang Xiaodao was similar in age to him but dared to speak like this in front of his elders, he felt a little envious.

After greetings, several people followed Jiang Chenghai into the back room.

Hu Xiaoyan was sitting in a wooden wheelchair at this time, nodding silently to the two of them.

Before coming, Xu Ruqing had told Xiaoyan's situation in advance, so Tan Renjun didn't show any surprise after entering.

Everyone sat down. Jiang Xiaodao got the pen and ink for Mr. Jiang, laid it out, and then sat across from Hu Xiaoyan side by side.

Logically speaking, judging the horoscope and reading the fortune is a step that should be done long before the blind date. However, Jiang and Hu are both cheap kids. They have the same idea and rely solely on the whims of the little things, so that they came to do the calculation in person today. marriage.

Xu Ruqing was the most enthusiastic. He first made two cups of tea for Tan Renjun and the others, and then asked, "Who do you think you are, sir?"

Tan Renjun smiled and touched the stubble on his chin: "You can count bones, test characters, plum blossoms, Qimen, Liuyao, and crape myrtle, but the most accurate ones are the Five Elements and Eight Characters."

Jiang Xiaodao originally didn't believe in Midas words, but now that he heard the other party's tone, he couldn't help teasing him: "Sir, your skills are quite complex. How much does it cost to see you for a visit?"

Unexpectedly, Tan Renjun quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm here for the first time, and I haven't set up a dock yet, so I don't dare to open a business. Thanks to the two big men, 'Chun'erhong' and 'Hai Lao Owl', I'll come over and take a look. I won't take any money." It’s all about making friends.”

"Hey! I'm familiar with what you're doing!" Jiang Xiaodao couldn't help but laugh, "First I said no money is required, and then I talked about how to open the altar. They are all incense money given to passing gods!"

Xu Ruqing quickly stopped: "Xiaodao, don't be stupid! Mr. Tan was invited by me. Even if it costs money, you don't have to pay for it."

Using "not taking a penny" as a guise is indeed Jin Xing's favorite method, but Tan Renjun is very determined.

"This young master is not old, but he seems to have had his eyes opened. Although what you said is good, I really won't take any money today. If you tell any lies, just drive me out of Fengtian."

"You came all the way to Fengtian. If you don't care about money, what do you want?"

As soon as Jiang Xiaodao finished speaking, Jiang Chenghai and Xu Ruqing also looked slightly sideways to see how Tan Renjun would answer.

The old man didn't explain much. He just patted Liu Yansheng who was sitting next to him and said with a smile: "It's not for anything, I just brought my apprentice out to see the world."

This answer obviously cannot convince the two old Jianghu, "Hai Lao Owl" and "Chuan'er Hong".But since people don't want to make it clear, they can't keep asking.

Xu Ruqing rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, my eldest nephew is too arrogant and stupid. He is neither big nor small. Don't be surprised."

"Young and naturally energetic, it won't be a problem!" Tan Renjun said, pushing the pen and paper in front of Jiang Xiaodao, "Then write down your name and birthday first." Jiang Xiaodao immediately picked up the pen and wrote down like a dog. Your own birthday.After he finished writing, Hu Xiaoyan was stunned. Firstly, she couldn't write, and secondly, she was abducted since she was a child. She only remembered the year, month and day of her birth, but never knew the specific time.

But Tan Renjun said: "Nianzhu's parents, Yuezhu's brothers, Rizhu's husband and wife, and Shizhu's daughter. If we only look at the marriage, if the hour is missing, it won't be a big deal. I can deduce it based on physiognomy."

After finishing reading, Jiang Xiaodao pushed back the pen and paper.

Tan Renjun was not in a hurry to make calculations, but told the ugly things first.

"We masters and disciples came to Fengtian this time, not to seek wealth, but to make friends. We are all in the world. We don't use any of the tricks of gold point, long, ring, and sell. They all follow the instructions in the numerology monograph. Answer truthfully. If you are blunt, your words may not sound nice. If you offend a few people, please bear with me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chenghai and Xu Ruqing couldn't help but look at each other.

It seems that Tan Renjun really has no intention of doing business. After reading the horoscopes, he was neither surprised nor frowning in deep thought. He just buried his head in calculations with his fingers and did not "exaggerate" or "deceive". He did not even say anything. Not a word.

Jiang Xiaodao didn't care at all about the calculation results, but Hu Xiaoyan looked a little concerned about gains and losses.

After all, they are father and son, and she is just the daughter-in-law that Jiang Xiaodao picked up out of anger.

Although Hu Xiaoyan never said it explicitly, she was always worried that she would be abandoned. If she really encountered the so-called incompatibility of the eight characters, the conflict between the five elements, and a marriage broke up, would Jiang Xiaodao still care about her?

Xu Ruqing was thoughtful and could see Xiaoyan's worries at a glance, so he held her hand and comforted her: "Just taking a look, don't think blindly."

After drinking tea, Tan Renjun concluded that it was over and nodded, thoughtfully.

Hu Xiaoyan couldn't wait and asked hurriedly: "Sir, how are you doing?"

Tan Renjun groaned: "The male protagonist is born with fire, and the female protagonist is born with water."

Water and fire are in conflict with each other, could it be a bad fate?
Everyone wanted to ask again, but Tan Renjun stopped talking. He just wrote two limericks on the paper.

The first song is about Jiang Xiaodao:

The Lord of Fire has a fierce nature and cannot turn around, and runs all the way to darkness.

If you are happy when you meet a close friend, you will not frown upon your words.

If someone is right, he can make others come and suffer losses.

A thousand days of friendship make a thousand days of good, but one day of kindness fades into ashes.

People with strong fire are strong-willed and can only accept what comes their way but not choke.

All goes well with him, and he choked on half a sentence and was busy.

If you speak a few words when you meet someone, your quick tongue will cause disaster.

He is a hero and a gentleman, but he is also a villain and a strong man.

The second song is about Hu Xiaoyan:

The daughter of the water lord is unusual. She is rich and poor.

There are good and bad temperaments, and talking and reasoning can mediate the situation.

You might as well be a girl with a skirt and a hairpin, but don't let a man be full of ambition.

The stars in the sky can make plans, and people are born smart in this world.

Shui Man is careful and good at planning, and he is a good person to run a family.

When I was young, I had troubles and had no support, all because I had three kinds of disasters.

Fortunately, I was born with good fortune, just waiting for the noble person to change my luck.

When I grow old, I am afraid that my body will be weak and I will be destined to eat flowers.

　These two numerology jingles are not made up. They do exist. They are just slightly changed. Jiang and Hu designed them this way from the beginning, especially Jiang Xiaodao's "You can only go along without choking" and "Run on the same road." To the black" character.
