The heavy rain stopped briefly and it was sunny for two consecutive days.
hot!
too hot!
After the heavy rain, the sky in Xiangyang City was clear for three consecutive days. Not even a few clouds were visible, let alone rain stars.
The scorching heat mixed with anxiety makes Xiangyang City like a big simmering pot with the lid tightly closed. The air is stagnant, but the nameless fire in people's hearts is still burning strong.
Years of war have made the people of Xiangyang City feel that they have a specialty, they can smell the breath of war.
The situation in the city is still very stable now. However, with many years of experience, people have already felt that the war surrounding Xiangyang City, an important military town, is gradually approaching.
Although people are very anxious, their daily lives have not been affected in any way. Just like Fu Rui in the city tower, the people should eat and drink, and all schedules are going on in an orderly manner.
Not only that, the people of Xiangyang City were even happier.
The business of the brothel was booming, and the shouts in the gambling house never stopped for a moment.
In this day and age, there is today and no tomorrow. If we don’t play now, when will we wait?
The various avenues in Xiangyang City are full of smiling pedestrians. Seeing the smiles and excitement on people's faces, many people are even confused.
Is this a happy event for a big family in the city?
The atmosphere on the street was a little too lively and joyful.
The shops on the street are also seizing the last few days before the war starts, trying their best to make money. There is no other way, if you don't make money, what are you going to do?
Unlike during the Eight Kings Rebellion, the confrontation between the north and the south has become the norm in this era, and wars are common and inevitable.
Although the scale of the battle was not small, it was absolutely incomparable to the time when the Central Plains was a scorched earth and people were devastated everywhere.
At that time, it was relatively easy to follow the crowd and move the family south to seek refuge. But now, those who can lead their tribesmen to go south are basically villagers who have no family property in major cities and live scattered outside.
In the north, millions of villagers living in Xiangyang, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng and other important military towns have already found ways to survive in troubled times. Even if there is another war between the north and the south, they will still be able to survive.
They will live and die together with the city and will no longer be scattered.
You can't run away. Apart from living a down-to-earth life, there seems to be no other better choice. In fact, the villagers have to mobilize more wisdom in order to survive in the chaotic situation.
At the corner of the street, there was a small square table with three pieces of cloth pressed on it. After a closer look, I realized that what was written on it was: fortune telling, divination, and fortune telling.
There is nothing on the table except the white cloth.
On the broad street, a young man walked slowly over. He was wearing a far-traveling crown and a straight gown. He was not tall, but his appearance was dignified and his bearing was extraordinary.
I saw him holding a feather fan, slowly walking to the table, bowing and sitting down. Following his footsteps, the young ladies on the street quickly approached and followed happily.
Tsk tsk...
It's also very popular today.
The round fan was started, and several large characters were written in black ink on Bai Yu's fan.
Divine fortune teller.
Calculating the heavens and the earth, judging people, their abilities are great!
The fortune teller is finally here!
The fortune teller sat down and the ladies immediately gathered around him.
I looked left and right and couldn't get enough.
Look at his eyes, which are gentle and affectionate, and look at his eyebrows, like a sword hanging from a mountain.
The young ladies were amazed and excited that there was such a handsome young man in Xiangyang City.
It’s so pleasing to the eye!
Just one look at it makes me feel happy!
If you were kidnapped to my house...
"This little lady, what do you want to do?" When the business came, the fortune teller immediately became interested.
He shook the fan while dealing with the little lady.
"Of course it's considered marriage!"
A young lady wearing an apricot-yellow shirt and a headband of the same color rushed to the front excitedly.
In order to have further communication with the fortune teller, she has been guarding here before dawn. Who dares to take her position?
"It's considered marriage."
The fortune teller straightened up and opened his posture.
Even if he wants to deceive people, he must do it in a decent way. This has always been his highest principle in life.
After a brief glance, the young lady's appearance was all imprinted in my mind.
"The little lady is naturally beautiful and will definitely have a good marriage in the future!"
Fortune telling and fortune telling, to put it bluntly, is just a job based on lip service.
Some people are suspicious and feel guilty after doing bad things. They come to fortune-telling stalls just to seek peace of mind and find a way to solve the problem.
Then you have to think carefully and follow his concerns to defraud him of more money.
These routines are all a series of routines, one after another. They are definitely gold mines in the world of fortune telling and divination. They can be encountered but not sought.
If you can encounter such a thing in a month, you will make a lot of money!
However, this method does not work for young ladies. Most of the young ladies who come to tell fortunes come to tell their fortunes.
You said that the matter of marriage is illusory and illusory. Let alone his divine fortune teller, even Yue Lao in the sky can't explain it clearly.
Besides, everyone knows that the divine fortune teller cannot help them find a suitable lover, but can only give them a rough direction.
Since there is no urgent pursuit, the possibility of cheating money is greatly reduced if you want to commit a series of scams.
Therefore, to be honest, divine fortune tellers are not very keen on the business of predicting marriage.
However, why does the fortune teller still like to deal with these nymphomaniac little ladies even though he can't make much money?
There’s no other reason than it’s fun!
When doing business, you not only need to make money, but you also need to be personal.
The more people watching, the more lively the scene will be, and the more potential customers will be attracted. Even though the fortune teller is young, he has already understood this secret.
You see, it's just a casual compliment that makes the little lady so happy that she can't help but feel happy.
He slapped the table excitedly: "Really?"
"I heard that you are the most effective fortune teller in Xiangyang City. I believe you, but you must not lie to me!"
When the young lady spoke, her face was full of shyness, and her voice was full of annoyance. She didn't know it, but she thought the fortune teller opposite was her favorite lover!
The fortune teller silently accepted the copper plate and nodded.
