Chapter 6 Gua stall
"Where is the divination stall in the city? It should be famous."
Jiang Chu got on the carriage and asked the Jiang family's coachman.
Before going to Shuyang City, she wanted to see the approximate level of the divination masters in this continent.
"There are quite a lot of stalls, but there are two most famous ones, one in the west of the city and the other in Wumu Lane on Sanguan Street." said the coachman.
After speaking, he secretly took a look at Jiang Chu.
Does the lady feel that life is hopeless, so she places her hope in divination?
In the past, she didn't pay much attention to hexagram techniques. She often said that they were evil ways and could not be compared with orthodox martial arts.
Alas, life is so unpredictable.
"Then go to Ebony Lane." Jiang Chu said immediately.
The west side of the city is too far, but Ebony Alley is very close. You can stop by before leaving the city without taking any detours.
Jiang Chu and Wuyou were sitting together in the carriage. After Jiang Chu sat down, he looked at Wuyou.
She wore a black dress used for martial arts, with her wrists and ankles tied up. She was neatly dressed, plain and unadorned, without any decoration.
The features on the girl's fair and thin face are not bright and attractive, but there is a calm aura like water, and her painted eyes are calm and collected, with a maturity that has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
She was sitting respectfully with her knees together, holding a sword in one hand, with her eyes half lowered. After feeling Jiang Chu's gaze, she raised her head and looked back with questioning eyes.
"Wuyou, are you...17 this year?" Jiang Chu asked.
Wuyou, who understood lip reading, nodded.
She is only 17 years old, only 1 year older than the original owner, but Wuyou's eyes and temperament are not like a teenage girl at all, but like a forty-year-old elder who has a lot of experience and accumulation.
Wanton publicity, bright and moving, this is the privilege only those who live a happy life...
Jiang Chu felt a little emotional and said nothing for a while.
The carriage drove for a while and then stopped, "Miss, we're here."
"Well, you guys wait for me in the car, you don't have to follow me."
Jiang Chu stopped Wuyou from getting up and followed, and jumped out of the car first.
People were coming and going in Ebony Alley, including traders, men, women, and children, but Jiang Chu saw a divination stall under an old tree at a glance.
The word "Gua" on a flag was fluttering in the wind, and the old man who set up the stall, with a fairy-like spirit, gray hair and gray-white cloth, was squinting at a small black wild cat on the tree opposite.
There were two people queuing up at the stall to ask for divination. Jiang Chu looked at it and walked over, finding a seat not too far away to listen.
"Master, are you saying that as long as I wait for two more months, the things I'm worried about now will turn around for the better?" a middle-aged male customer in his forties asked eagerly.
"When the time comes, what should come will come. Just stay calm and don't be anxious or angry."
The old man stroked his long beard and said slowly.
"Thank you, Master. It's a small gift. Master, please don't refuse!"
The man happily presented a small bag of broken silver, and then left with a lot of thanks.
The old divination man nodded indifferently, as if he was not very interested in the silver presented to him, but he skillfully and quickly put the silver into his sleeve.
Jiang Chu:……
"What are you asking?"
The old man at the hexagram booth looked at the last person waiting in line for hexagrams.
"Well, I have been a bachelor and want to find a wife."
The speaker looked to be in his early twenties, wearing old clothes with holes in the toes of his shoes. He was as thin as a bamboo pole, with squinty eyes and a bulbous nose. His face must have been pimpled, so it was full of acne.
The seal is filled with pits and pits that are terrible to look at.
After he finished speaking, he grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.
Not only was he ugly, but he was also poor. That’s not to mention he was also dirty. His clothes and shoes were all stained, and he didn’t know if they had been washed since he wore them.
And I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiang Chu always felt that there seemed to be an unpleasant smell at the end of his nose.
She silently took two steps back, getting further away from this person.
The old man Gua Tan looked at this man without changing his expression, "Oh? Then what kind of wife do you want?"
"You have to be virtuous, someone who does laundry and cooking for me, and you have to be good-looking and in good shape. You can't be worse than Mrs. Xiao from Fengyun Building! By the way, it's best if her family has some wealth, some land and some land."
It doesn’t matter a little, I won’t be picky! If the conditions are right, then it’s not non-negotiable for me to be your wife, hehe..."
The man laughed again, and then looked at the stall owner with hope, "Master, please do the math for me, how long will it take for me to find the young lady I like?"
Jiang Chu crossed his arms across his chest and looked at the old man with interest.
"Tell me your birth date." The old man's mouth seemed to twitch, and then he said calmly.
The man obeyed, and the old man took notes and took notes.
"Let's cast lots," the old man said again.
The man walked over and shook off a lottery ticket.
The old man took the lot, looked at it, caressed his beard and pondered, his face serious.
The man couldn't help but worry, "Master, what's the result?"
"In the first half of your life, you didn't have any luck in marriage, but there was an opportunity that might bring you wealth." The old man said slowly.
"Finance? That's great! Master, please tell me what kind of opportunity it is!" The man ran forward excitedly, put his hands on the table, and moved his face towards the old man, full of impatience.
The old man froze and slowly turned his head away, "You, please take a few steps back."
"Oh, okay."
The man stood up and backed away obediently.
The old man was stroking his beard and looking at him without saying a word.
The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly dug around, and then took out a few copper coins, "Master, don't dislike it, I only have so much..."
"Well, it doesn't matter. The opportunity I'm talking about is in your own hands. It won't show up in a short time. It will take a long time for you to work hard to achieve obvious results."
The old man didn't dislike it, he took the copper plate without changing his expression, and then said calmly, "First of all, you have to have a job to do. Go out more often. The more dirty and tiring the work is, the more diligent you have to do it. You will get to know noble people through this. In a short time,
In half a year, or as long as a year, you will definitely meet noble people who will support you, and wealth will come naturally."
"Meeting a noble person in half a year? That's great, thank you, master!"
The man clapped his thighs excitedly, and then left with a lot of thanks.
After he left, the old man took a long, deep breath and said, "It really pisses me off."
"Puch."
Jiang Chu couldn't help but laugh.
"Little girl, why did you stay here for a long time?" The old man looked towards her with a natural expression, sizing her up, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he had a flash of inspiration.
"I came to you, naturally, for divination." Jiang Chu walked up to the stall with a smile, sat down in front of the stall, and put down five taels of silver. "You can figure out where I will go from now on. If what I said is right, then this
Five taels is yours."
