"No, no."
Facing the anger of his precious sister, the third child of the Li family bent down and begged for mercy.
In fact, in Zhu Pingan's eyes, Rich Man Li's family is really an extraordinary family in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty where feudal society reached its peak. One of the most prominent features of feudal society was that men were superior to women. But in Rich Man Li's family, the family The black girl can be so domineering.
But think about it, even in a feudal society where men are superior to women, as long as their families are willing to pamper them, girls can still be raised as princesses in modern society. No one can say anything about people's own affairs behind closed doors.
"When I get home, I always hear people saying that you are smart. Wherever I go, I hear about the pride of Kaoshan Town and the talent that comes only once in 500 years in Kaoshan Town... It makes my ears feel calloused. I don't believe you can do it. How smart you are, it only happens once in five hundred years..."
The third son of the Li family had his nostrils turned upward, and he had a very... objection to Zhu Ping'an.
Zhu Ping'an felt that he was completely lying on his back. It's none of my business if others say I'm smart, and it's none of your business, unless...unless you're jealous, but looking at the way the third son of the Li family looks like this, it's really possible that he is. envy, jealousy, hate. It is estimated that after the third son of the Li family returned home, the rich man Li was checking the accounts at that time, and he might have casually mentioned his role in the audit. The other accountants probably respected him a lot, and it might have been because of this that he offended Li. The third child in the family, the middle-aged boy, was dissatisfied. At this age, when he is most competitive, he might have been boasted about something that only happens once in three hundred years.
"It's just so so, I have better luck." Zhu Pingan said lightly. He didn't like to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either.
"Just so so, I want to see how smart you are."
The third son of the Li family became even more dissatisfied when he heard what Zhu Pingan said. He turned around and grabbed a live fish that was only half the size of a palm from the water basin held by the servant who was following him. He held it in his hand and looked at Zhu Pingan provocatively. .
"Others say you are very smart, haha, guess what, is the fish in my hand alive or dead?"
The third child of the Li family looked at Zhu Pingan provocatively. There was a smug smile on his lips.
The sinister girl looked at her third brother in surprise. Why did the third brother suddenly become so smart? If Zhu Pingan said it was alive, the third brother would definitely crush the fish to death; but if Zhu Pingan said it was dead. Then the third brother will stop squeezing the fish to death. If he stretches out his hand, the child will definitely be alive and kicking.
Then, looking at Zhu Pingan, the sinister girl was also a little curious about how Zhu Pingan would respond.
"Actually, it's very simple to guess whether the fish in your hand is alive or dead."
What the sinister girl can figure out, Zhu Ping'an can naturally figure out too. Seeing the provocative eyes of the third son of the Li family and his proud smile, Zhu Pingan slowly raised the corners of his lips.
"It's simple, haha, then you have to guess. If you guess wrong, you won't preach any clever words that come only once in five hundred years."
Second grade youth. The third youngest of the Li family looked confident.
Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded. It was the most interesting to ravage the middle-aged young people.
"Actually, you must be thinking in your heart, if I say it is a live fish, you will crush the small fish in your hand; if I say it is a dead fish, you will not crush it, so no matter if I say the fish is dead or alive, Fish, you can be invincible, right?"
Zhu Pingan glanced at the third child of the Li family. He asked calmly.
When the third son of the Li family heard this, an abnormal look flashed across his face, but he immediately urged him: "What I want is none of your business. You should hurry up and guess."
"Of course. What you said makes sense. Scholars pay attention to understanding astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. In fact, good scholars are also unique in divination. Among the four books and five classics we often read, the Yi Jing, that is, the Zhouyi, has the 筮The function of occupancy, the so-called gentleman observes its appearance and plays with its words when he is in residence. When he moves, he observes its changes and plays with his occupancy. This is because God has blessed him, and good luck and no disadvantage..."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head and talked a lot, which confused the third son of the Li family.
"Stop, stop, stop, I've been annoyed by my husband's storytelling the most since I was a child. What do you want to say? Just say it." The third son of the Li family impatiently interrupted Zhu Pingan's tirade. His mind was confused by Zhu Pingan's tirade just now. It's almost turning into paste.
"I have some knowledge of divination, so I can accurately guess whether the fish in your hand is alive or dead." Zhu Ping'an was not angry when he was interrupted by the third son of the Li family. He raised the corners of his lips and spoke concisely.
"Oh, then you're looking for fortune telling?" The third son of the Li family stretched out his hand holding the fish, and was very disdainful of Zhu Ping'an's words about divination. I personally control the life and death of the fish, and you still tell me that you know divination! What a shameless statement! What cleverness, what happens once in five hundred years, nonsense, just a nerd who has lost his mind by reading.
"Of course I have to do it, but I need to ask a few questions before doing the divination. After all, fortune tellers on the street also need to know the birth date and horoscope. Of course, I don't need to know the fish's birth date and horoscope, but I still need to confirm a few questions. , so that I can make a prediction on the fish in your hand." Zhu Pingan pointed to the clenched hand of the third son of the Li family and said lightly.
"Stop talking nonsense and ask quickly." The third son of the Li family looked impatient.
"What kind of fish are you catching in your hand?" Zhu Pingan asked slowly.
"Little grass carp." The third child of the Li family was reluctant to cooperate.
After the third son of the Li family finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an went to find a writing brush and a piece of rice paper on the side table and wrote the name of the fish on it.
"Where did this fish come from?" After finishing writing, Zhu Pingan asked slowly.
"It came from the water, otherwise it could have jumped out of the stone?" The third child of the Li family looked impatient.
Zhu Ping'an dipped the brush into ink again and wrote the two words "水中" on the rice paper.
Zhu Pingan's serious action attracted everyone's curiosity. Almost everyone in the study looked at the piece of paper under Zhu Pingan's hands curiously. Could he really know how to divination?
Only the dark-hearted girl clearly despised her third brother, and she didn't even know that he had been taken to the ditch.
Zhu Pingan then asked two more questions.
"Are you done yet?!" The third son of the Li family's impatience has reached the extreme.
"It's over, no more questions. Give me a little time and I'll use the Five Elements Method to measure a hexagram." After Zhu Pingan finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to calculate on the paper seriously.
Just when the third son of the Li family is running out of patience!
Zhu Pingan finally raised his head from the paper, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "The fish in your hand is dead."
The third child of the Li family stretched out his hand, looked down at the fish in his hand, his face darkened, and he said: "The paralyzed one was still alive half an hour ago!"
Poof
The sinister girl finally couldn't help but laugh. She pointed at her third brother with one hand and covered her lips with the other hand. She let out a series of laughter like silver bells. The curves of her big blue eyes were as perfect as the crescent moon, overflowing with laughter. smile.
"Third brother, you were brought into the ditch by him." The dark girl pointed at her third brother and mocked, "What Zhouyi gossip? Didn't you see that he was deliberately delaying time." (To be continued. )
