The joy of sworn brotherhood? Does anyone want to become a brother with me or do I want to become a brother with someone else? No, who deserves to be my brother? That guy named Meng? Well, his father is a second-grade official, and he is a big playboy.
You can barely be brothers with me.
Haha, he is obviously very satisfied, but he refuses to admit it. This is the childishness that Ma Hanshan occasionally shows.
"Mr. Lai, I am not a casual person, and I will not casually become friends with others." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Well, you are indeed not a casual person, but... you are so happy in your heart." Lai Wenjin said in a positive tone.
"Haha... Mr. Lai is very confident." Ma Hanshan shrugged and said.
"I haven't missed anything since my debut." Lai Wenjin is actually very conceited. In this regard, he is not modest at all.
Ma Hanshan took a look at Lai Wenjin and found that this uncle was very similar to himself in some ways, and his level of confidence was almost shameless.
"Mr. Lai, does he know who General Meng is?" Ma Hanshan turned on the jump mode and changed the topic.
"Not to mention Da Songren, even the Donghu people know who General Meng is. Two hundred years after the founding of this dynasty, there were two General Meng. General Meng Liang has passed away long ago, and now there is only one General Meng Zhong." Lai Wenjin looked at a fool.
Looking at Ma Hanshan, he said.
"Oh? There is only one general named Meng? Is Mr. Lai familiar with this General Meng Zhong? Why does he have such a strange name? Can you tell me about him?" Ma Hanshan's idea is that this guy is now considered to be in a high position.
It would be good to be sworn sworn friends with his son, but the key is to check to see if this old man's position is secure.
"I'm not familiar with it. I never like to pay special attention to a certain official, whether he is a good official or a bad official. Because if I pay too much attention to someone, it will affect my analysis of divination. The art of Yi, thousands of changes,
It must be combined with the analysis of the time, geography and people, otherwise the mistake will be a thousand miles away." Lai Wenjin said seriously.
Ma Hanshan said with a slight disappointment and stopped talking. I thought this old man knew something about Mr. Meng, but he just knew him.
"Lao Lai, your reputation as a Yi Xue master is not worthy of your name." Ma Hanshan said after taking a sip of the porridge that was just served.
"Haha, you don't need to provoke me...I will make an exception today and help you with one more fortune telling, wait a minute..." Lai Wenjin put his hands in his sleeves, half-closed his eyes, and muttered something in his mouth.
Ma Hanshan smiled and lit his camellia pipe. There was nothing more pleasant than succeeding in his cunning plan. Although Lai Wen had broken his mind, he still did what he wanted, which made him very satisfied.
"General Meng has been promoted." Suddenly, Lai Wenjin opened his eyes and said.
"Damn, it doesn't matter what you say, the imperial edict has been issued." Ma Hanshan said disdainfully.
"Oh, has the imperial edict been issued? I understand. The boy you brought back yesterday is related to General Meng... Let me think about it... is he the son of General Meng?" Lai Wenjin narrowed his eyes again and put his hands into his sleeves.
.
"Yes, General Meng's youngest son." Ma Hanshan shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't forget it. I thought you were really some kind of master. In fact, Yi Shu is just that. You can only count what happened.
, but can’t predict what hasn’t happened yet, alas, it’s so disappointing.”
Ma Hanshan looked very disappointed. In fact, he was also very disappointed in his heart. He thought this old man was a god, but in the end, he was just a stickman.
He needs a god, not a stick. If he really has to pretend to be a god, he can do it better than many people.
Ma Hanshan's disappointed look irritated Lai Wenjin, who looked very unhappy.
Since his debut, he has never been treated like this. He has always been looked up to by others. This boy's disappointed and dismissive look towards him made his face turn red, which was hurtful.
"Is General Meng leaving Beijing?" Lai Wenjin said suddenly.
"Ah? Well, he will be transferred to the Zhongzheng Army Jiedu Envoy and stationed in Shouchun Mansion." Ma Hanshan said lazily.
"Has he left Beijing?" Lai Wenjin opened his eyes and asked anxiously.
"I don't know, what's the matter?" Ma Hanshan felt that Lai Wenjin was starting to look more and more like a magician.
"General Meng, this month is not conducive to the westward journey, there will be a bloody disaster." Lai Wenjin said very seriously.
"Lao Lai, can you stop being so nagging..." Ma Hanshan didn't believe what he said.
"Well, I thought you were different. Why do you treat Yi Shu like this? Forget it, since you don't believe it, just wait and see what happens. Anyway, his life is not in danger." After Lai Wenjin finished speaking, he lowered his head to eat.
Breakfast, don't say a word again.
Haha, Ma Hanshan thought it was funny that the uncle was acting like a child. He also dealt with the breakfast on the table seriously and stopped talking, but he laughed in his heart. He had never seen an uncle like Lai Wenjin.
After dinner, the two of them walked to the inn. When they returned to the inn, Lai Wenjin said very seriously: "I will not drink your wine until I have verified what I just said. But I will still tell you a fortune every day until the full moon."
, as to whether you believe it or not is your business.”
"You mean, you still fulfill your promise, but you prevent me from fulfilling mine? You are forcing me to break my promise, Mr. Lai, you can't be like this." Ma Hanshan said with a serious face.
"Since you don't believe what I say, I won't drink your wine. When will you believe it, I will drink your wine." Lai Wenjin has a very good character. If others don't believe in his Yi skills, he will
Don't drink other people's wine.
"Oh, I believe it, I believe it. I'm going to tell Brother Meng right now and let him find a way to inform his father." Ma Hanshan said seriously.
"Haha, he's not in the inn..." Lai Wenjin rolled up his sleeves and went back to his room.
Ma Hanshan scratched his head and felt that this uncle was really interesting, even more childlike than Shen Hua.
After passing through the lobby of the inn, Ma Hanshan arrived at the backyard.
"Brother Meng...Brother Meng, are you up?" Ma Hanshan screamed in the distance.
"Master, the young general is out." Qi Nanyue came out of the room and said.
"Ah? Out? When?" Ma Hanshan was surprised. Did Lai Wenjin see Meng Lianggon go out, or did he predict that he had gone out?
"When did you go out?" Ma Hanshan said.
"He went out through the back door a quarter of an hour ago." Qi Nanyue paused and added, "He left a message for the young master, saying that he was going to deal with something and would have a drink with the young master when he came back in the evening."
"Damn, you're still drinking. If you don't drink with him, how can you drink like that? It's just life-threatening." Ma Hanshan waved his hand and said.
He went out from the back door a moment ago. In other words, Lai Wenjin didn't see it, and no one told him. He figured it out. Is this uncle really not a magician? Is Yi Xue really that magical?
"Haha, I think the young master should drink with him. It can be seen that he has a very good impression of the young master. The young master should get closer to him." Qi Nanyue said seriously.
"Tch, he's not a woman. Who can get close to him... I won't go play today. There's nothing interesting in Ezhou. I'll have a day off and rent a boat to Lin'an tomorrow." Ma Hanshan entered his room while waving his hands.
It's not that there is nothing interesting in Ezhou, but that Ma Dazhai is mainly waiting for his "happy event" to happen.
Although Ma Hanshan said he didn't believe Lai Wenjin's words, he still took Lai Wenjin's words about General Meng's bloody disaster to his heart. Therefore, he wanted to verify Lai Wenjin's words about the joy of sworn friendship first.
He is lying in the inn today to see if anyone comes to befriend him. If someone is really befriended by him, it proves that Lai Wenjin's prediction is indeed somewhat accurate, then the matter of General Meng must be taken seriously. stand up.
Regardless of whether he had this relationship with Fan De or not, Ma Hanshan felt it necessary to remind Meng Zhong as a powerful military attache of the main war faction.
Ma Hanshan didn't go out to play, so Zhang San, Li Si and the others could go out and have fun. Even Shen Hua also went out to play.
Of course Qi Nanyue will not go out. He has to stay in the inn to protect Mahanshan. In his mind, Mahanshan is not his student now, but his relative and the relative of everyone in the village. He must ensure that everyone's relative is safe. Safety.
Lai Wenjin was sulky in the room for a while, and then went out. People like him can only be quiet when they are in retreat, and cannot be quiet at other times.
In fact, most people misunderstood Lai Wenjin and thought he was a master of Yi Xue. Some people in later generations even described him as a person who engaged in feudal superstition.
The real Lai Wenjin did not just play Yi and learn divination, which was just a pastime in his spare time. He regarded this as a kind of evidence. What he was most fascinated by was the art of war, astronomy and geography, and the military skills of Sun Bin, Zhuge Liang and other senior masters. He has thoroughly studied all the books and other works. He is also very obsessed with astronomy and geography. In Dasong, the map he drew of the Dasong sea area is the most detailed and has the most islands. On his sea area map, there are nearly three large and small islands. Thousands, which is almost half the number of islands in the sea defined by the country in Mahanshan's previous life.
In the era when the so-called sky-measuring ruler was used for navigation, he actually explored three thousand islands in the sea. It has to be admired. If Ma Hanshan knew about it, he would definitely admire Lai Wenjin. You know, the so-called sky-measuring ruler A ruler is actually a ruler used to measure the sun's shadow. On the vast sea, it is awe-inspiring to think about how difficult it is to calculate one's own course just by looking at the position of the sun and stars, and then combining the sun's shadow and other conditions.
[Note: Measuring the celestial ruler and the position of the sun, moon and stars to calculate the heading is the original version of the "star-guiding technique" used by Zheng He in the ocean. It took many more hundreds of years for the quadrant and octant to be developed, as well as the long-lasting sextant]
History books, no matter how fair they are written by, cannot completely record all the people and events. Therefore, future generations only know that Lai Wenjin is a master of playing the "Book of Changes", but they do not know that he was a military strategist and astronomer. Navigator and geographer. Perhaps it was because he was mixed with Mahanshan that he was not recorded by historians.
It was noon, and Meng Lianggon didn't come back, Lai Wenjin didn't come back either, Zhang San, Li Si, and Chen Hua were nowhere to be seen. Ma Hanshan cursed a few words, and after lunch he and Qi Nanyue played chess in the courtyard.
"Mr. Qi, do you believe that Lao Lai said that I am happy to be married today?" Ma Hanshan said while playing with the chess pieces.
"Trust, what Mr. Lai said will definitely happen..." Qi Nanyue actually trusted Wen Jin.
"I think he is a magic stick..." Ma Hanshan disagreed. It's already past noon, and there aren't even any ghosts. Could it be that you, Qi Nanyue, are sworn sworn friends with me...
