Chapter 48: In a Word

After returning to Changqing Town, Chu Boyang and Zhou Bin's moods improved. They both knew what they should take care of now and what they couldn't.

After everything was settled, Zhou Bin also told Chu Boyang that the work matters could be postponed for the past two days and let him familiarize himself with his position as the director of the Agricultural Extension Department. He would have to wait a few more days before Chu Boyang could get into work.

, after all, it is said that sharpening a knife does not waste time cutting firewood. After Chu Boyang first becomes familiar with what the department and position need to do, and the functions he has, it will still be of considerable help in his subsequent work.

In this way, Chu Boyang was equivalent to having a few days of free time, but of course he did not dare to slack off. He worked hard and only spent one day to fully understand his job. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to find a way.

Allowing farmers to generate and increase income.

After such free time, Chu Boyang had time to practice his family heirlooms. And when he started practicing, he thought of Zhang Guafu, an old divination man at the head of the Shangchenghuang Temple in Qingquan County.

After receiving Zhang Guafu's advice before, Chu Boyang acted according to his instructions and was promoted immediately after moving the tomb. Of course, Chu Boyang believed in Zhang Guafu's ability and character.

However, because I was eager for quick success and instant benefit, in order to be promoted quickly, I actually caused Grandma Zhou to lose her life and become ill, and I felt guilty. In addition, my cultivation level was temporarily low, and I couldn't solve the problem of losing Yuanshou. So I thought that these days it was Zhang Guafu.

On the day he returned from his trip, before he officially started work, he asked Zhou Bin for leave and rushed to Qingquan County.

Qingquan County is where Chu Boyang's family lives. Although Chu Boyang has been promoted, he did not rush home to announce the good news because of his priorities. Instead, he went straight to the City God's Temple.

Chu Boyang arrived in Qingquan County early in the morning. It was also morning when he arrived at the Chenghuang Temple. The sun was not very strong in the morning, but because it was not a festival, not many people went to the temple fair. There were only a large number of stalls in the Chenghuang Temple, but they were still open.

Released.

Being familiar with the road, Chu Boyang easily found Zhang Guafu's stall. As expected, Zhang Guafu had come back. With his silver beard and white hair, he was sitting behind the desk. The white flags were still displayed on both sides. What was different from last time was that this time

Once, at Zhang Guafu's stall, there were already seven or eight people lined up.

Sitting in front of Zhang Guafu at this time was a slim young woman with heavy makeup and a cheongsam that looked rich and prosperous. I don’t know what she looked like from the front. If you just looked at her behind, she just looked like a prostitute.

Among them, Chu Boyang even suddenly compared her with Zhou Ruoxuan. In comparison, the woman in front of him seemed not even half as good as Zhou Ruoxuan.

Chu Boyang was originally looking for Zhang Guafu in a hurry, but now he saw that there were so many people queuing in front of Zhang Guafu's stall, so he was not in a hurry. He just walked nearby, stood aside, and listened to Zhang Guafu's divination.

.

The fortune teller stroked his beard and said calmly: "Although the girl's surname is Jin, her family's wealth is not gold. She wears a stinky outfit and embroiders straw wicks. Ask your husband for divination, and you will find it bright at night; ask for divination for marriage, but no fate is also fate."

On the contrary, a five-character rhyme poem has already explained many things about the woman's divination and karma. As soon as she finished saying this, Zhang Guafu looked at the woman and said, "Do you understand, girl?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I can only understand that you guessed my last name correctly, but I can't understand the rest."

"Don't be afraid if you don't understand." After Zhang Guafu said this, he twirled his beard, looked towards Chu Boyang, and said, "Tell me, let me see how much progress you have made this month.

"

Chu Boyang was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhang Guafu had already discovered his existence, but he didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly got behind Zhang Guafu, and before he said the first word, he just took one look at the woman and said

He found that this person was indeed just as he had thought. He was a prostitute, a man in the world. The so-called man in the world meant that he was in the business of selling women in exchange for money.

Most of the women in this profession are not too ugly. The woman in front of me still has a little bit of temperament behind the layers of makeup, but she can't hide the haggardness after staying up late for a long time.

Of course Chu Boyang also knew that observing words and colors was also one of the aspects of physiognomy, but at this time Zhang Guafu was not examining Chu Boyang's physiognomy, but wanted Chu Boyang to translate the predictions of Zhang Guafu's divination.

"The meaning of this five-character poem is that although your surname is Jin, girl, you don't actually have much money; the clothes you wear are actually just a display, like an embroidered pillow with straw wicks inside." Chu.

Boyang spoke really slowly, "The above is about you, and the following is about what you are asking about. You are asking about your husband in divination, but because of your profession, your husband will be there almost as soon as dawn.

I will leave. In fact, for you, you don’t have a husband that really belongs to you."

As Chu Boyang spoke, the woman's expression also changed, and the way the people around looked at the woman also changed to some extent. Especially those men, they could always listen to Chu Boyang's words to some extent.

When something happens, such as this woman's career, men begin to look at her with lustful eyes.

But this woman didn't care at all. She was of course used to the strange looks in men's eyes, and even used to all the looks looking at her.

Although the way Chu Boyang looked at her was different from other men, it was still more or less contemptuous, except for Zhang Guafu.

Zhang Guafu sighed, looked at the woman, and said: "He didn't say the last sentence. Asking for fortune telling about marriage, no fate is also fate. If the girl doesn't make up her mind and completely breaks away from her current career, then

I’m afraid I won’t always have my husband by my side, so girl, I hope you’ll think more carefully about it when you get back.”

After hearing this, the woman just nodded, and then took out a wad of large and small bills. She didn't know the exact amount, but she just left without saying anything.

As soon as the woman left, the people around her started to sigh and looked at the woman's back. Some people even followed the woman openly and openly.

Zhang Guafu sighed after looking at it, and then said to those who were still in line in front of him: "Thank you for your compliments, but it's a pity that I have completed the three hexagrams today. If I want to do divination again, I hope tomorrow comes early!"

"What? Why are the three hexagrams full again today?" I heard people complaining there, "Master Zhang, can't you calculate more hexagrams every day? There are only three hexagrams every day. In the past two days, I have come to you to ask for hexagrams.

I got up and came out just after dawn, but why can't I get a hexagram?"

"What's the use of you waking up just after dawn? I didn't come out before dawn! But look, I happened to be standing in the fourth hexagram today!" The man at the table shouted angrily, "You're all damned.

That bitch stole the last word, so damn unhappy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man slammed the table, pushed people away and left.

As soon as someone left, many people left immediately. In the blink of an eye, all the people who had gathered in front of Zhang Guafu's stall dispersed.

When these people dispersed, Chu Boyang smiled faintly and said, "Old sir, shall we go back?"

Zhang Guafu did not say whether he would go back or not, but just twirled his beard and sighed, saying: "The sky is moving vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement; the terrain is flat, and a gentleman carries things with great virtue." These people line up every day to perform divination, even though they believe in destiny divination.

, but after all, they are not in the right way, so even if they queue up all night, they will not be ranked in my hexagram at all. On the contrary, that prostitute named Jin has some good intentions, although it is also her own selfish thoughts, but she fell into

Fengchen, but it is also unavoidable."

Chu Boyang had simply thought that the woman surnamed Jin was just a lowly woman who made a living by selling women, but he did not expect to hear Zhang Guafu tell him the whole story.

This move made Chu Boyang even more convinced of Zhang Guafu. Thinking that the Zhou family moved the graves and Grandma Zhou had ruined Yang Shou, it would be a good idea to come and ask Zhang Guafu for advice, and Chu Boyang knew people

Among them, Zhang Guafu is probably the only one who has the ability to help Chu Boyang.

Zhang Guafu didn't know what Chu Boyang was thinking, so he just said to himself: "As soon as you look at this person, I know that although you have learned some physiognomy, you are just scratching the surface, and you can't show off at all.

But it’s a coincidence that you are here today, as I am interested in teaching you the art of physiognomy, so come, pack up my business for me, and go to his place to eat, chat, and teach you!”

"Okay!" Chu Boyang responded, happily picking up the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table for Zhang Guafu.

But just as he put away the stack of papers, Zhang Guafu suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Boyang's arm.

Chu Boyang was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw Zhang Gua Fu frowning and asked Chu Boyang: "Are you here this time to ask me for help?"

Before Chu Boyang had time to answer, Zhang Guafu had already thrown his arm heavily and said bitterly: "Why is this old man so confused! You can't even figure out this thing! How dare you act against heaven and do something that harms people's life and longevity?

Waiting for something to happen? You really got into trouble this time!"

As soon as the words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue. Chu Boyang was shocked. Although he already knew that Zhang Guafu was highly capable, he did not expect that in just such a short time, Zhang Guafu would already know what Chu Boyang had encountered.

Suddenly, Chu Boyang hurriedly apologized to Zhang Guafu: "Old sir! This is all because I was eager for quick success and quick gain, but now I regret it and don't want to harm anyone's life, so I ask the old gentleman to help me!"

Zhang Guafu sighed angrily and said: "Since you are not a heinous person, nor did you do it intentionally, I will help you, but I don't know if it is too late to fix the problem."

"There's enough time! There's definitely time!" Chu Boyang said, and quickly packed up the last things on Zhang Guafu's table, and said to Zhang Guafu, "Old sir, let's go back quickly. I...I'll put those two volumes of notes together

Brought it too!"
