"Are you really planning to live this life in such a muddle-headed state, accomplishing nothing?" Song Xi asked me.
"What does it mean to be ignorant? What does it mean to achieve nothing? Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small. If I can stick to these two sentences that Master taught me all my life, it will be considered a good one. It’s a life worth living.” I said.
"Good and evil are relative, not absolute. Sometimes people have to sacrifice small details for the sake of the overall situation." Song Xi said.
"In your circle, this is indeed the case. But in our eyes, both minor and major festivals are festivals, and they all need to be abided by." I paused and said, "Now you should Understand, we are on different paths and do not seek each other. Right?"
"I thought you were a very pursuing and ideal man, but now it seems that I was wrong," Song Xi said this to me. , that look, that tone, was extremely disappointing.
"It's not too late to see through me now!" I said.
“Goodbye!” Song Xi turned around and walked out the door, driving away in her Prado.
After Song Xi left like this, I suddenly felt a little lost.
"Brother Chu Yi, why are you frowning?" That guy Yi Ba came quietly.
"Song Xi came here just now." I paused and said, "After understanding my sincerity, she said that she was mistaken. She originally thought that I was an ideal person, but she didn't expect that In the end, I didn’t pursue it so much.”
"Whether it is us Taoists or you Xiangren, they are all outsiders. Chasing fame and fortune is not the pursuit of outsiders. The ideals in the eyes of people inside are different from us. So, then It's normal." Yi Ba smiled and said. : "This is why I only called Bai Mengting sister-in-law as a joke, but never called Song Xi."
In the next few days, Xinsheng Pavilion returned to its previous calm, except for Yi Outside of eight, no one else came to the door.
This morning, at about ten o'clock, an Audi A6 drove up. Sun Qinglan got out of the car and strode into the gate of Xinsheng Pavilion.
"It's been a long time since you came! Are you here today to see the Prime Minister?" I asked Sun Qinglan politely.
"I want to ask you something." Sun Qinglan looked me up and down with suspicious eyes, and then asked: "Did you go to Cuiwei Garden to have a photo taken?"
Cuiweiyuan? Sun Qinglan's question was obviously referring to Mr. Xia!
"No comment." I replied to Sun Qinglan coldly.
"If you don't tell me, I won't be able to help you." Sun Qinglan replied quietly to me. Listening to her tone, it seemed as if I had gotten into some big trouble!
“I’m just a fortune teller, I don’t need your help.” I said.
"You can't say it so absolutely." Sun Qinglan smiled slightly and said, "Maybe you still don't know until now. Did you see the problem with the photo you saw in Cuiwei Garden? ”
I didn't answer Sun Qinglan's words, but sat on the Taishi chair very calmly, closing my eyes and resting.
"I wanted to help you out of kindness, but since you don't appreciate it, let's forget it." Probably because I ignored her, Sun Qinglan turned around angrily and went out the door.
The Audi A6 started and disappeared from the gate in a flash.
Although I ignored Sun Qinglan, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t listen to what she said! The last time Song Xi brought Mr. But he never came.
Also, Song Xi has never contacted me since she left last time.
People are all about emotions after all. Although Song Xi is very disappointed in me, I still don't want to see anything happen to her. After hesitating for a while, I picked up the phone and dialed Song Xi's number.
“Why are you looking for me?” Song Xi asked me angrily.
"Sun Qinglan came to see me just now. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I called and asked." I told the truth.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" After replying to me, Song Xi hung up the phone.
Why does this woman make me feel so heartless!
After lunch, I was about to go find Yi Ba to play for a while! As soon as I went out, I saw a Prado approaching. He hung up the phone in the morning and drove to see me in the afternoon. Which song did this girl Song Xi sing?
"Isn't this Miss Song who hung up the phone on me without even saying goodbye? Why did you come all the way to my Xinsheng Pavilion?" I laughed and joked with Song Xi.
"The first two times I saw you, weren't you so serious and turned away people thousands of miles away? What happened today? Not only did you call me, but you also took the initiative to make jokes?" Song Xi said Tell me something.
“You’re not bored and came to me to make me laugh, are you?” I asked.
"How can I have the free time to come all the way to amuse you?" Song Xi walked into the Xinsheng Pavilion, and then said: "You called this morning and said that Sun Qinglan came to see you. What did she tell you?”
"She said I saw a problem last time when I had her fortune-telling done at Cuiwei Garden," I said.
"Problem? What problem?" Judging from Song Xi's expression and her tone, she should also be confused.
"How do I know about the things in your circle? If I knew, I wouldn't call you specifically." I said.
"I thought you had discovered it because of your conscience, so you called me! After doing this for a long time, are you afraid that something will happen to you?" Song Xi looked at me with disgust and said: " Mr. Xia seems to have disappeared recently, and I don’t know where he has gone.”
“So, what Sun Qinglan said is not unbelievable at all? "I asked.
"Whether it is trustworthy or not, I can't say." Song Xi frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Let's get some more words out of her!"
"Will she come again?" I asked with some uncertainty.
"Sun Qinglan is a utilitarian. She comes to you because she definitely needs you. Since she needs you, she will naturally come to you again!" Song Xi said.
"Okay!" I nodded and said, "If Sun Qinglan comes to see me again, I will help you trick her."
"What do you mean to trick me? That's it. It seems that the matter has nothing to do with you?" Song Xi rolled her eyes at me and said, "If you show Mr. >
"Why?" I asked speechlessly.
"Why are there not so many people in this circle? Before you got involved, you still had a choice. But after you got in, you actually had no choice. I know you are very good at reading faces, but No matter how thick your arms are, they can't twist your thighs."
Song Xi paused and said, "I know what you are thinking. ? Don’t you just want to be a fortune teller? Before you became famous, you could do it. Now that your reputation as a junior master has spread throughout the Yudu officialdom, you think it’s just based on your ability. , Is it possible to still be a simple matchmaker? "
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. What Song Xi said is indeed true.
I have been with Master for more than 20 years, and in my memory, he has never shown his face to any dignitary. In Fengyang County for so long, he has never even seen the photos of the Bai family. He has always only shown them to the poor. It is precisely because of this that I have been able to live a normal life for more than twenty years.
One wrong step, every wrong step. Ever since I broke the Yin hexagram rule of not looking at women and started reading faces for Bai Chuchu, my life path was destined to be unsettled.
“Do you still want to escape now?” Song Xi asked me.
"What are you escaping from? What is there to escape from?" In order to cover up my guilty conscience, I asked Song Xi this question. "Whether it's love or career, you're always escaping, aren't you?" Song Xi glared at me and said, "You can't solve any problem by escaping, and don't imagine that you can solve it by just relying on your ability to read faces. Keep your heart.”
