Lei Ling hid aside and twitched slightly, not because she was sick, but because she was suppressing a smile.
Hahaha, I didn’t expect that this old devil would also make a miscalculation one day.
All the hard work was in vain and nothing was gained!
Thinking of this, Lei Ling became extremely happy. If she wasn't afraid of being heard by Ye Ming, she would have laughed out loud.
Fortunately, shopkeeper Liu didn't really keep Ye Mingming busy and presented him with a jar of ten-year-old daughter's red wine.
Ye Ming calculated it and found that it was only eight years and nine months. How could there be ten years?
Profiteers, committing fraud!
Depressed, I found a corner, opened the mud seal, and tasted the wine.
After drinking up every drop of the wine, Ye Ming picked up the tortoise shell and started calculating again.
...
There is a Li family manor five miles away from Rongshu Town, which specializes in raising various livestock and poultry.
Thousands of cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and dogs were raised to provide meat for the great men of Yanhua Prefecture.
A young man was washing a donkey with a brush.
An elderly long-term worker next to him said:
"You kid, be careful. If you skin the owner's precious donkey, you'll be punished!"
"I know, you've said it several times!
Uncle, tell me, there are many good animals in our village, why does the owner of the village care about such a donkey? "
"You kid, it's normal for a new guy to not know."
"So, there is something else going on here?"
"That's not..."
Owner Li was engaged in the livestock and poultry business, and he believed in Buddhism very much. He hoped that the animals who died because of him would have a good pregnancy in the next life and would not harm himself, so he was very charitable and charitable.
There was a long-term worker named Li Gen who worked in his family for many years and worked hard without complaint.
For a period of time, Li Gen's old mother was ill and had no money for treatment.
Li Gen asked the village owner to borrow money, and the village owner was generous and lent him the money.
A total of seven taels of silver were borrowed before and after.
The old mother was cured, but Li Gen couldn't pay back the money at all.
He could only work hard for the owner of the village. The owner of the village was grateful for his filial piety and hard work, so he directly waived the silver he owed.
Li Gen was greatly moved and vowed to turn into a donkey and continue working for the owner in the next life.
As a result, on the second day after taking the oath, when he was out herding cattle, he was shot in the knee by an arrow from a hunter who didn't know where he came from.
I went home and lay there for a few days, then died.
That night, the owner of the village dreamed of Li Gentuo, saying that he would repay the owner's kindness in the next life.
The owner of the farm woke up from his dream and heard that a new donkey was born in the donkey shed at home that night.
The owner of the village thought that the dream had come true, and from then on he paid great attention to the donkey.
Since the little donkey was born, he has been very honest, works very hard, and is not sneaky at all.
Therefore, the owner of the village became more convinced that the donkey was the reincarnation of Li Gen, so he named it Donkey Gen. He would ride this donkey whenever he traveled.
After listening to what the old worker said, the young worker looked incredulous. He looked at Donkey Gen who was being bathed honestly and said:
"Is this really reincarnation?"
"Anyway, everyone said so. The owner of the village is very precious, so it should be good."
The old man took a puff of dry cigarette and said so.
After hearing the story, the young long-term worker no longer dared to underestimate the donkey and said:
"If I were reincarnated in the future, I don't know what I would become..."
"You kid, do less immoral things, accumulate more evil virtues, and try to be a human being in your next life."
The old manager laughed and cursed.
“It’s so tiring and painful to be a human being!
If I could choose, I would be a cat for a lady from a wealthy family.
Not only can I eat and drink well every day, but I can also be held in my arms, not to mention how comfortable it is! "
The young long-term worker had a longing expression on his face.
"Come on, cats from wealthy families are all better than eunuch cats. If you want to be a eunuch, you can."
"Forget it then, I haven't married yet!"
While the two were talking, they heard someone on the other side of the yard discussing something about an expert coming to the manor, who was an extremely accurate fortune teller, and so on. A group of people curiously went over to take a look.
The old permanent worker and the young permanent worker looked at each other and followed to watch the excitement.
...
In the open space in the front yard of Li's Manor, a blind man who looked like a beggar was sitting there telling people's fortunes.
Moreover, it was not free of charge, so long-term and part-time workers who usually did not have many recreational activities suddenly came over and wanted to settle it for themselves.
Don't tell me, this blind beggar really has some skills, and he can make accurate calculations.
"Blind man, how about you help me calculate my fortune?"
"Well, you, you were poor in the first half of your life, and you just live one day at a time."
"Yes, yes, that's how I am now, but what about the rest of my life?"
"The second half of your life...the second half of your life, ahem, you should cherish the life you have now! Okay, next one."
"Hey, hey, tell me clearly, tell me clearly, what will the rest of your life be like?"
The blind beggar ignored him and started counting on the next one.
Young and old permanent workers were also crowded in the crowd.
The young long-term worker quickly squeezed in front of the blind beggar.
"Help me calculate my marriage..."
The young long-term worker said a little embarrassed.
"Well, your marriage is very close. It will happen within half a year."
"real?"
"Of course."
"Then is my marriage a good marriage or a bad marriage?"
"Your marriage... carries a lot of weight."
"Heavy weight?"
The young long-term worker's eyes lit up. Could it be that he was about to make a comeback and marry a young lady from a wealthy family?
Otherwise, how can we say it is heavy?
"Yes, it's quite heavy. Okay, next one."
The young long-term worker was squeezed out by his family, but he looked happy and said excitedly to the old long-term worker:
"Did you hear that? My marriage is very important, haha, it is very important!"
The old Changgong didn't show any happy expression, he just said:
"Just believe half of the fortune teller's words. Don't be happy too early."
"What do you mean? You don't like me? You think I'm not that bad looking. Maybe I'm attracted by that young lady from a wealthy family?"
The young long-term worker just thought that the old long-term worker was jealous of him and didn't think much about it.
When the long-term and short-term workers gathered together to tell fortunes, they suddenly heard a discordant voice:
"What are you all doing here? Don't you want to do any work? Go and do your work!"
"It's Butler Li, hurry up, hurry up, let's go!"
When the gardeners saw Butler Li appearing, they quickly dispersed.
The young long-term worker also ran away with me, but he was thinking to himself, when I turn around in the future, I will definitely teach this arrogant housekeeper Li a lesson.
The owner of the village is so easy to talk to and kind, but Butler Li is nothing but the most hated person.
I don’t know why, but the owner just doesn’t want to replace this annoying guy!
After Butler Li dismissed everyone, he immediately changed his appearance and came to Ye Ming.
"Fortune teller, can you tell me a fortune?"
"What kind of?"
"Calculate the blessings of my descendants."
"So far, you have given birth to three sons and two daughters. Most of them died in infancy. Now you only have one son and one daughter left.
After my daughter leaves the cabinet, she will experience some twists and turns, but she will be able to get through them. "
Seeing that Ye Ming easily told his situation, Butler Li quickly asked:
"What about my son?"
"It's not a problem to live past twenty safely."
Butler Li was smart and realized the problem and asked nervously:
"What about after the age of twenty?"
"You can consider raising your grandson well."
After hearing what Ye Ming said, Butler Li understood something and sighed.
"My son is already nineteen this year, and his daughter-in-law is also pregnant...",
Ye Ming just said:
"Five cents."
Butler Li knew the rules and took out five cents from his purse and handed it to Ye Ming.
"Sir, the owner of the village has invited you."
Seeing that Ye Ming is really capable, Butler Li changed his name to "Sir".
Ye Ming stood up with a smile and followed Butler Li into the manor.
I fell down twice because of the uneven road surface.
Butler Li's eyelids jumped when he saw it, and he helped Ye Ming walk with him, so that he didn't fall again.
As he was walking, he heard the dog in the manor barking at the roof.
Butler Li looked curiously and saw a cat fleetingly disappearing.
There were many cats and dogs in the manor, but Butler Li was used to seeing this kind of scene and didn't take it seriously.
The two of them entered the inner courtyard of the manor and saw Master Li dressed in silk and satin clothing.
Businessmen are not allowed to wear silk and satin, and this owner Li obviously went over the rule.
But in fact, the court will not be too strict in this regard, it just depends on whether it wants to catch the typical ones.
Seeing Butler Li bring the people, Villa Master Li first looked at each other to confirm that Ye Ming was really capable, then stepped forward and saluted with a smile.
"Sir, please sit down."
Butler Li supported Ye Ming, sat on the stone table, and wanted to pour tea for Ye Ming.
"No tea, no tea."
Ye Ming waved his hand and refused.
Just when Butler Li was about to praise Ye Ming for his superior demeanor, he heard Ye Ming say again,
"Serve the wine, serve the wine!"
Owner Li nodded slightly, and Butler Li stepped back to arrange the drinks.
Zhuangzhu Li was not in a hurry to let Ye Ming tell his fortune, but asked about other things first.
But no matter what he asked, Ye Ming would either ignore him or just say it was inconvenient to say anything.
After asking for a long time, I couldn't get out a single useful word.
Zhuangzhu Li realized that this person was not easy to fool, so he didn't plan to go around in circles.
At this moment, Butler Li brought wine.
Ye Ming opened the clay seal directly, poured it into a cup, and tasted it.
Master Li smiled and asked:
"I heard that Mr. Li is good at calculations, so Mr. Li also wants to ask him to calculate a hexagram."
"Easy to say, easy to say. I wonder what Mr. Li is?"
"Li is a businessman, so he naturally has to calculate his fortune."
"Master Li has great fortune. In the past three years, he has only made profits and will not lose money."
"What about three years from now?"
"We must guard against natural disasters, and even more so man-made disasters."
Upon hearing this, Zhuangzhu Li's eyes flashed, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, he said again:
"Li would also like to ask Mr. Li to do another fortune telling."
"What kind of?"
"How about Li's moral character?"
Yin De...
This is not easy to calculate.
Ye Ming picked up the tortoise shell and tried to calculate.
During Ye Ming's calculation, Zhuangzhu Li also looked nervous.
He has looked for several so-called experts to calculate the evil virtues, but he has not gotten the answer. I wonder if this time...
After a long time, Ye Ming finished his calculations. He stroked the tortoise shell with one hand and confirmed it repeatedly. He said nothing for a long time.
Master Li was also waiting calmly.
After a long time, Ye Ming asked:
"Master Li's surname shouldn't be Li, right?"
Hearing Ye Ming's words, Master Li's eyes narrowed and he said solemnly:
"Li's previous surname was Cui, but now his surname is Li."
"Master Li has killed people, right? There are quite a few..."
"Yes, when Li was young, he once occupied the mountain and became the king..."
"Is Master Li now repenting of his past mistakes?"
“In the beginning, I opened this manor just to hide my name and withdraw from the world.
But I am always afraid in my heart. After believing in Buddhism, I am also afraid that my moral character will be damaged and I will not be able to be a good person in the next life.
If you become a beast..."
As he spoke, Master Li looked towards the scene where the cook was killing the chicken.
"Excuse me, sir, what is Li's moral character?"
Ye Ming knocked on the table and said slowly:
"I'm afraid the owner of the village will have to accumulate bad virtue for another ten years."
After hearing Ye Ming give a more accurate figure, Village Master Li breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still hope.
Then he asked again:
"I don't know, how long does Li have to live?"
"The village owner can take the initiative to do more good deeds and speed up the accumulation of moral virtue."
Ye Ming did not answer directly.
Upon hearing this, Master Li's expression darkened, and then he took a deep breath and raised his hands to Ye Ming to express his thanks:
"Li thanked Mr. Li for this advice. He will definitely do more good deeds in the future and put an end to the bad consequences of the past."
Ye Ming was noncommittal and didn't respond. He just took another sip of wine.
Master Li knew that Ye Ming was unwilling to reveal more, and although he felt it was a pity, he had no choice but to give up.
"I wonder how much money is needed, sir, according to this calculation?"
“No money is needed, but a donkey is needed.”
"Donkeys, there are quite a few donkeys here in Li..."
"I just want that end."
"Which end are you talking about, sir?"
"That's what Master Li wants."
