In Wang Jin's house, Wang Jin was lamenting to himself, lamenting that he was confused and greedy for beauty, which led to his poor reputation and stagnant career.
This Wang Jin is a descendant of Wang Quanbin, the founding general of the Song Dynasty. He is now a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Three years ago, he wandered among the hooks and accidentally fell in love with Li Xian'er, the top star. After just one glance, he couldn't help but miss her every day.
This move angered his wife Chen, who wanted Wang Jin to cut off contact with Li Xian'er. Wang Jin was furious and drove Chen back to his hometown. Then he ransomed Li Xian'er and took her as his concubine.
As soon as this incident came out, public opinion was fierce, and Wang Jin was also criticized by thousands of people. Because of this incident, his reputation was not good. He was originally the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he was soon replaced and his official position was demoted.
He became a doctor, and he stayed in this position for three years. He was stagnant and had no hope.
"Husband, why are you depressed? How about I play a song for you?"
Li Xian'er twisted into a snake demon and came to Wang Jin's side. She leaned against Wang Jin with her soft jade body and said delicately.
Wang Jin was irritable, pushed Li Xian'er away, pointed at Li Xian'er and complained: "It's all because of you, you bitch. If it weren't for you, how could I, Wang Jin, have fallen like this? Get out of here."
Li Xianer suddenly felt aggrieved, burst into tears, and left with tears in her eyes.
Wang Jin felt depressed, so he left the house and went to Goulan to have fun and drink to relieve his worries.
On the way to Dianqing Pavilion, Wang Jin passed by a fortune-telling stall and was stopped by the fortune teller.
The fortune teller said: "You are worried about something, so why not make a hexagram to solve the current predicament."
Wang Jin looked disdainful and said: "Huh, you, a fortune teller, can't even keep food and clothing on the table, so how can you relieve my worries? Don't waste my precious time."
"Hahaha,,,"
The fortune teller laughed, and then said with a profound look: "There are thousands of things in the world, but everything is within my five fingers. I can determine a person's wealth with a word, and a dynasty's luck can be revealed with a hexagram. If you don't believe it,
You’ll know once you count it.”
Seeing that he was not convinced, Wang Jin immediately picked up his pen and wrote down the word "Sheng" and said: "If you are impatient, please explain this word."
The fortune teller looked down, thought for a moment, and then said: "The word "promoted" written by the king implies the future and destiny of the king. What the king wants to plan is his own official career. Now the troubles he has now are also because of
His official career was not going well and he encountered difficulties, so he was in a bad mood."
Wang Jin was shocked. He immediately felt that the fortune teller was unfathomable. He could tell his own thoughts with just one word. His attitude changed, he straightened his body, raised his hand and saluted the fortune teller, and said: "Sir, you are a great talent. I have so many talents just now."
I'm rude, sir, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
The fortune teller looked calm, and then asked Wang Jin to sit down and talk. Wang Jin straightened his posture and sat down to ask questions.
Wang Jin explained his situation one by one, and finally said: "I wonder if sir, there is a clear way to guide me. If my predicament is solved, I will definitely reward you generously."
The fortune teller smiled slightly and said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's easy to solve."
"Oh, sir, if you have any clever ideas, please teach me."
Wang Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the fortune teller what he had in mind, but the fortune teller seemed not to hear and said nothing.
Wang Jin suddenly woke up and quickly took out a Jiaozi with a face value of two coins to express his gratitude.
A fortune teller usually only costs a dozen copper coins. Two coins is two thousand coins, which is certainly a lot.
But the fortune teller didn't notice it at this time and still didn't say a word.
The fortune teller knew that Wang Jin was an official and rich, and it was rare to find a big fish, so he naturally wanted to kill him before giving up.
Wang Jin knew that he thought it was too little, so he took out two more jiaozi from his body, with a face value of five guan, and a few scattered silver coins, and handed them over together.
However, there were still too few fortune tellers. In desperation, Wang Jin had to give the jade pendant on his waist to each other and said: "Sir, I am in a hurry and don't have much money. This is a family heirloom jade pendant. It is of great value. Please give it to me sir."
Take it."
The fortune teller took the jade pendant, knowing it was precious, so he accepted it, and then said: "Now the government wants to implement the compulsory teaching method, Chen Guiyi was ordered to select heroic stories to be compiled into teaching materials. If Chen Guiyi can compile your ancestor Wang Quanbin
Enter a heroic story for the world to worship, your predicament will be solved immediately, and you can expect to be crowned a marquis and worshiped as prime minister."
Wang Jin was enlightened and suddenly felt enlightened.
Yes, if the ancestors are included in the textbooks for students all over the world to study every day, then as a descendant of the ancestors, I will naturally ascend to heaven and get the glory. Who dares to say that I am not good, and my career will naturally skyrocket.
Wang Jin was overjoyed and bowed respectfully, saying: "Thank you sir for your enlightenment. I will definitely reward you generously when I take charge of the ministry."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I tell fortunes on the street, just to solve the problems of the world. It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't mean anything."
Wang Jin was proud and returned home.
When the fortune teller saw Wang Jin walking away, he hurriedly closed the fortune telling stall and went to Dianqing Pavilion to find the girl and have a good time.
Back at the mansion, Wang Jin quickly ordered the housekeeper to prepare his belongings, tidy them up, and then went to visit Chen Guiyi's mansion.
Arriving at Chen Guiyi's residence, Wang Jin explained his purpose and asked for an interview.
Since Chen Guiyi was appointed by Zhao Yun to preside over the reform, he has been very busy. Even when he returned to the mansion, he rarely had time to spare, so he ordered his housekeeper to inform him of his absence.
At this time, Chen Guiyi's wife advised: "My husband was an official in the same dynasty as him, and we feel like colleagues. He would not hit anyone with a smile on his face. He is sincerely visiting. How can he refuse people thousands of miles away? It doesn't matter if we meet him once."
See, why don’t all the officials say that your husband is relying on the favor of the officials and is arrogant?"
After hearing this, Chen Guiyi felt that it made sense and met him in the living room.
The two of them greeted each other, and Wang Jin took out the gift list and gave it to Chen Guiyi, saying, "I hope you will accept your kindness."
Chen Guiyi refused and said: "You and I are officials in the same dynasty. Visiting each other is normal communication. If you give a generous gift, it will inevitably arouse people's speculation. It will be bad for you and me. Please take it back."
When Wang Jin saw this, he felt unhappy and had to stuff the gift slip back into his arms.
Chen Guiyi asked: "Your Majesty is a rare visitor, and I don't know how to come to my humble residence in person. What do you mean?"
Wang Jin had a flattering smile on his face and said: "To be honest, I would like to ask your envoy to help me with something."
"What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. I heard that the new teaching materials will include heroic stories. There are more than two hundred heroes selected in total. Therefore, I kindly ask you to include the deeds of our ancestor Wang Quanbingong during the screening. In this way, all of us will be filial.
"
Chen Guiyi's face suddenly became serious, and he said: "How can I dare to specialize in such a major matter? Every hero must be compared at all levels, and then selected by me and many colleagues through discussion.
