Chapter 174 Divination
“No, no.”
Faced with 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 the In the family of wealthy man Li, a dark-hearted 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 was very... dissatisfied with Zhu Ping'an, and he was full of dissatisfaction.
Zhu Ping'an felt like 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 look at the third child of the Li family like this Son, it’s really possible that I’m just jealous and jealous. 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.
"So-so, I'm just a little lucky." Zhu Ping'an said lightly, he doesn't like to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either.
"Just so so, then I want to see how smart you are."
The third child of the Li family heard what Zhu Pingan said. Even more dissatisfied, he turned away from the basin carried by the servant who was following him. He caught a live fish that was only half the size of a palm, 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 , with a smug smile on his lips.
The dark 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 alive, the third brother would definitely crush the fish to death; Ping An said it was dead, so the third brother stopped squeezing the fish to death and stretched out his hand. Parenting is definitely 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 dark girl can figure out, Zhu Ping'an can also figure out. 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.
"Simple. Haha, then just guess. If you guess wrong, there will be less clever, once-in-five-hundred-year words from you."
Young man in the second grade of middle school. The third son of the Li family looked confident.
Zhu Pingan smiled and nodded. The most interesting thing is to ravage the middle-aged young people.
"Actually, you must be thinking in your heart. If I say it's a live fish, you will crush it to death. If it's a dead fish in your hand, you won't be able to pinch it, so whether I say a dead fish or a live fish, you can immediately Invincible, right?"
Zhu Pingan glanced at the third child of the Li family and asked lightly.
Hearing this, the third son of the Li family had an abnormal look on his face, but he immediately urged, "It's none of your business what I want. Hurry up and guess it."
"Of course, what you said makes sense. Scholars pay attention to astronomy and geography. In fact, good scholars also have divination. Unique. Among the Four Books and Five Classics that we often read, the Book of Changes, also known as the Book of Changes, has the function of divination. The so-called gentleman observes the phenomena and plays with the words when he is in the house, and watches the changes and plays with the divination when moving. God bless him, and everything will be good and bad..."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head and talked a lot, leaving the third son of the Li family confused.
"Stop, stop, stop, I'm typing. What do you want to say? Just say it." The third son of the Li family impatiently interrupted Zhu Pingan's tirade. His brain was almost turned to mush by Zhu Pingan's tirade just now. .
"I have some knowledge of divination and 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 said concisely. Read it again.
"Oh, then you are a fortune teller?" The third son of the Li family stretched out his hand holding the fish and was very disdainful of what Zhu Ping'an said 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 We still need to confirm a few questions before we can determine the fish in your hand." Zhu Pingan pointed to the clenched hand of the third son of the Li family and said calmly.
“Stop talking nonsense and ask quickly.” The third child 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 not willing to cooperate.
After the third son of the Li family finished speaking, Zhu Ping'an went to the side table to find a writing brush and a piece of rice paper, 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 scheming 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 finished 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 was about to run out of patience!
Zhu Pingan finally raised his head from the paper, pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "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, and said with a dark face: "Paralyzed, he was still alive half an hour ago!"
Pfft
The sinister girl finally couldn't help but laugh. She pointed at her third brother with one hand, covered her lips with the other hand, and let out a series of laughter like silver bells. Her big watery eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, full of smiles.
“Third brother, you have been taken into the ditch by him, but you don’t know it yet.” The dark-hearted girl pointed at her third brother and mocked, “What Zhouyi gossip? I didn’t realize that he was doing it on purpose. Just delaying time." (End of Chapter)
