Is the Queen's fortune told today?

Chapter 19

Suddenly, Bai Bin shuddered, remembering his purpose of coming here.

"Second cousin, although the eldest sister is wrong about today's incident, you are also wrong, second cousin. My daughter's family should follow the three obediences and four virtues, and should not go out to show her face. I know that the second cousin is now a fortune teller, but she is out of the house, after all. It's not a long-term solution. In the long run, it will affect the second cousin's marriage, and it will also affect the reputation of the Bai family. Please also ask the second cousin to be the Bai family. For your own sake, don't go out to fortune-telling. "

Bai Bin talked like a cliché.

Talking so sophisticated at such a young age, I am really stupid in reading and reading.

Bai Xuanyin smiled wryly and shook her head, "Haven't you heard of these 360 ​​lines, and you can become the number one scholar? What is said in the book is not necessarily true. Who said that women can't show their faces outside? Who said that women are ashamed to go out? , These are fallacies written in the book, you must never believe it."

Bai Bin is a scholar, and usually admires the way of the sage the most. Now that he heard Bai Xuanyin's accusation against the sage, his face immediately sank, and he felt faintly angry.

"Second cousin's words are wrong. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. This ancient sage's words have their own truth. Second cousin does not read much on weekdays, so naturally she doesn't understand the mystery. But the words of the saints cannot be wrong."

Bai Xuanyin suddenly felt some pain in this temple, it was really hard to talk to such a little idiot.

"Since you said that reading is so good, let me ask you, what do you understand after reading the book? What is the purpose of reading?"

Bai Bin heaved a sigh of relief, and then opened his mouth with his hands behind his back.

"Reading is for understanding, reading is for the title of the gold list, and serving the country as an official in the court."

The corners of Bai Xuanyin's eyes curled up: "You said that this study is to serve the country, so if one day you are nominated on the gold list, it is necessary to do things in the court. There are six departments in the court, and each department has different responsibilities. Take For the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food, and the people in it are all proficient in arithmetic, but this arithmetic is not included in reading, so how can this be explained?"

"This?" Bai Bin didn't answer for a while.

Bai Xuanyin went on to say: "In addition, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the construction of various houses, as well as the size of the prince's house. All of these require proficiency in house construction and algorithm craftsmen to be competent. Do you think it depends on what you read? Can the books do that?"

Bai Bin became dull again, and at the same time kept asking himself this question in his mind.

What can you do after entering the court!

"In other words, when the time comes, you will be sent down to be a local official. To be a local official, you must master the local tax population, as well as the tax and tax performance. Do you understand all these? Then your so-called sage book can help What did you get? What did he teach you?"

Under Bai Xuanyin's questioning, Bai Bin lowered his head again and again.

He began to have doubts in his life, what is he studying for?
What can he do after he has finished reading the book and enters the court?
Originally, in Bai Bin's mind, becoming an official in the imperial court was his goal. After passing the Jinshi examination, he would be able to show his ambitions, but now, under the lobbying of his second cousin, he suddenly found that he seemed unable to do anything.

Moreover, he knew little about the imperial court, or even said he didn't understand it at all.

After a while, Bai Bin left just like Bai Xuanyin saying goodbye. When he left, he bumped into several servant girls one after another without paying attention.

"Miss, what's wrong with the second young master? It's like seeing a ghost."

Bai Xuanyin instantly looked at Zisu, could it be that she is a female ghost?
After Zisu came to her senses, she stuck out her tongue towards Bai Xuanyin.

Bai Xuanyin didn't care too much, if what he said just now could persuade Bai Bin, it would be good to think more about it in the future.

Bai Bin returned to the front yard just in time for Bai Zhengxian to come out of the study. Seeing his appearance, he stepped forward to inquire.

Bai Bing always knew everything he could say to his second uncle, so he gave out what Bai Xuanyin said before.

Bai Zhengxian did not expect that this daughter not only has the ability to tell divination, but now also has a thorough understanding of this life.

Especially the affairs of the court, as he said, this reading is not only to deduct the words on the book, but also to look at the current situation.

Originally, Bai Zhengxian wanted to wait until Bai Bin was a few years older before telling him about the turmoil in the capital, but now it seems that he might as well let him know more about it in advance, and he will not be an official in the future. Eat too much bitterness.

"Brother Bin, from now on you come to the study room every afternoon. Your second cousin is right. Reading can't just be mere rote. Sometimes you have to use it flexibly."

Bai Bin nodded wrongly, and even the second uncle agreed, that is to say, what the second cousin said was true, and his previous thoughts were really wrong.

It wasn't until Bai Bin returned to Qingqiu Pavilion that he remembered that he went to the second cousin to plead with the eldest sister, but unexpectedly, the second cousin told her back.

This second cousin is really powerful.

……

Ten days later, one of the two women who had fortune-telling before was sold to a brothel as a prostitute, and the other married a wealthy businessman as a concubine.

After learning about this incident, the people who come to Bai Xuanyin for fortune-telling every day become more and more afraid, but Bai Xuanyin only calculates ten hexagrams a day, and the first hexagram is free. Line up in front of Bai's house.

There were too many people queuing, which naturally attracted the attention of the Jing Zhaoyin Mansion. Such a long line every day would naturally affect the public security in the capital.

But these people didn't make trouble, so if they were to be sent away like this, it would be inappropriate, and the name would be unfair, so there was really no other way, and the people of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion had no choice but to find Mr. Bai.

Bai Zhengxian didn't believe it at first, but after the court was over, he saw the long line of the Bai Mansion, which couldn't be seen at a glance, and understood the hardships of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

"Yin'er, there are so many people queuing up for fortune-telling every day. If things go on like this, it will inevitably affect the law and order in the capital."

As soon as Bai Zhengxian spoke, Bai Xuanyin knew what he was going to say.

These two are what she was about to tell Bai Zhengxian about.

"Father, I heard that my mother has a small shop in the south of the city. I plan to put the booth in the shop, so that there will not be so many people queuing in front of the Baifu gate, and it will not be convenient for people in the house to come and go. .”

The reason why Bai Xuanyin had this idea was also for the benefit of her mother. There was a long queue every day, which seriously affected the Bai family's access.

Yesterday, my mother was called by my grandmother to scold her. Although my mother didn't mention it to her afterwards, she still felt sorry for Zhao Suyun.
