On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, there is slight heat, Dinghuo is strong, Yimu is strong, Jitu appears, which is auspicious, so it is good to go out.
Shi'an took the pass card given by Cao Cao Zhang Dongli and entered the inner city to the residence of Cao Cao Liu Jian.
Because Liu Jian received the invitation in advance, he ordered people to prepare sumptuous meals and drinks before Shi'an arrived. The whole family, except the female family members, were all waiting in the main room.
When Shi'an arrived, Liu Jian personally led his two sons out to greet him.
However, his two sons did not understand his intentions, and their attitude seemed a bit perfunctory. Especially when they saw that Shi'an was younger than them, they even suspected that their father was an old fool.
The eldest brother couldn't hold himself back the most. He stopped Shi'an when he entered the door and asked, "I heard that Mr. Shi'an is very good at life skills. I wonder if you can let me and my second brother see it."
Shi'an bowed to Liu Jian first, and then said to the Liu family elder: "I wonder how the eldest son would like to meet you?"
Liu Jian frowned, scolded the boss and stepped back, and apologized to Shi'an: "The dog is rude, please don't blame me sir."
Shi'an looked very understanding: "Young master Ling was born in the Xinwei month of the Yigeng year. His nature is fire, and he is upright and straightforward. This is what makes him valuable."
Liu Jian was shocked, "How do you know that Quanzi was born in the Xinwei month of the Yigeng year?"
Birthdays and horoscopes are the privacy of the family. They are not disclosed except when necessary. Under normal circumstances, no one knows, let alone inquires. This made Liu Jian feel surprised and at the same time felt inexplicable fear.
Seeing his father's attitude, the eldest son of the Liu family was surprised when he found out that his birth date had not been told. He secretly thought that this man might really have some skills, so he stopped showing up and gave his hand, "I've offended you a lot just now. I hope you can."
Don’t be surprised, young gentleman.”
Shi'an shook his head slightly and smiled, "Young master, don't worry about it."
Liu Jian glared at his son before offering an invitation and taking Shi An to the main room to have tea.
The maids filed in and brought tea and snacks and then left.
Shi'an sat down, followed the invitation, took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup and said: "Please tell me your birth date and birth date."
Liu Jian thanked him with a smile and waved, and the waiter who had been waiting for him walked out of the corner carrying a tray covered with red cloth and came to Shi'an.
There was a folded piece of paper on the tray. Shi'an opened it and looked at it for a moment, then put it down. After the boy had retired, he said to Liu Jian: "My lord, next month's lunar luck will be due to the evil of water. It's very bad, so avoid water."
When Liu Jian heard that it was a serious threat, his whole heart was raised, but he also heard that he wanted to avoid water, so he was confused, "What do you mean by this, young gentleman? Avoid water? I am a Caocao, specializing in water transportation, how can I avoid water?"
?" You can't take a month's leave, right?
Shi'an said: "I know it's difficult for you, sir. If you can't avoid it, you can only overcome it with danger."
"Danger?" Liu Jian thought for a moment and suddenly understood, but this danger was also quite risky, so he asked without giving up: "Do you really have no other choice but this way?"
"It's best if you can avoid it, but if you can't avoid it, you have to face the difficulty. The path I've given you is already the best solution."
Liu Jian frowned slightly, and after a moment, he raised his hands and said, "May I ask, young gentleman, if you have a specific date?"
"The day that my lord cares most about is that day."
Liu Jian stared at him, shocked in his heart. After a moment, he recovered and said with cupped hands: "Thank you, Mr., for your guidance." Then he signaled to the boy, who brought him another tray with ten pieces of gold on it.
Shi'an smiled and thanked him, put the gold into a cloth bag, and stood up to leave.
However, Liu Jian quickly stopped him and said in a negotiating tone: "Young sir, I have another unkind request. I wonder if you can help my family as well. The reward will not be a problem."
While he was talking, another boy came out with a tray, and there was fifty gold pieces on it.
Liu Jian continued: "I still have my parents, wife and children at home. I know that Mr. Xiao has a rule of counting every month. I wonder if Mr. Xiao can make an exception."
Shi'an is wrong: "Thank you for your trust, but I've already set the rules and it's really hard to make an exception."
"Are you really unable to accommodate? If the remuneration is not enough, I am willing to add more." Liu Jian said with some pleading.
The eldest and second eldest brother of the Liu family, however, looked confused. Their father was a dignified Cao Cao, so how could they be so respectful to a fortune teller?! Moreover, the two brothers were confused by the fortune telling just now and had no idea what it meant.
However, the two brothers were just suspicious and confused in their hearts. They knew that their father would be angry if they interrupted at will, so they only had confusion on their faces.
After listening to Liu Jian's words, Shi'an handed over his hands and apologized: "Remuneration for me is all external things. I have already set the rules and it is impossible to make exceptions. I hope you will forgive me."
When the conversation came to this point, Liu Jian could only look disappointed, "Then please invite the young gentleman to the dining hall for dinner. I have ordered someone to prepare a thin banquet."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. There is no need for food." Shi'an refused with a smile, then changed the topic and said gently: "But if you really want to tell fortunes for your family, you might as well join the Ming Pavilion. Those who join the Ming Pavilion will be given to you every year.
The family calculates their annual fortune."
Liu Jian originally thought that there was no chance, but he heard that he could join the Ming Pavilion. Although he didn't know it, he happily asked: "This is great, but I don't know what this Ming Pavilion is? How can I join?"
Shi'an slowly explained: "Those who join the Ming Pavilion only need to pay thirty gold every year to buy a year of peace for their family."
Liu Jian thought for a while and confirmed: "Sir, as you said, thirty gold a year can be enough to enter the Ming Pavilion, and my whole family, including me, has to calculate their annual fortune."
Shi'an nodded slightly: "Exactly."
Compared with ten gold per person, a family only needs thirty gold a year, which is obviously more cost-effective. However, although Liu Jian was novel about this method, he still remained a little vigilant and asked: "I wonder if I can join the Ming Pavilion?"
What are the requirements?"
"There are no requirements. Although I cannot make an exception, if your Excellency joins the Ming Pavilion, I will abide by the rules in the pavilion. In addition, Ming Pavilion will take thirty gold every year. Of course, if your Excellency does not want to join the Ming Pavilion again next year, this deal
Just do it on your own."
Liu Jian understood. If you enter the Ming Pavilion, your family will receive 30 gold for the whole year. Compared with a single person, it will save you 30 gold. And if you don't want to enter the Ming Pavilion again next year, you don't need to pay anymore.
This was a good deal. Liu Jian only thought about it briefly and asked the young man to contribute another twenty gold coins. "Now that I am entering the Ming Pavilion, do I only need to pay twenty more gold coins so that sir can calculate my family's fortune for a year?"
"
"Exactly." Shi'an accepted the twenty gold and said, "Please tell me the birthdays of your family members."
Liu Jian was so happy that he quickly presented the birth dates of his parents, wife and children.
Because it was a year's fortune for a family of six, there was a lot of time wasted. It was already an hour after the Ten Security Department finished their calculations and left the Liu Mansion.
Liu Jian personally sent him out of the mansion and sent a carriage to take him back to Taoyaju.
After Shi'an left, the eldest and second son of the Liu family expressed their doubts.
Lao Dadao: "Does my father trust this person too much? What he said has not happened, so how can we know whether it is true or false?"
The second child was confused and asked: "He and his father just settled the matter, but the child didn't understand. What does it mean?"
However, Liu Jian did not say it clearly. He was just shocked and sighed, "This man is absolutely perfect."
