Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 174 Divination

   "No, no."

   Facing the anger of his precious sister, the youngest of the Li family bent down and begged for mercy.

In fact, in Zhu Ping'an's eyes, the rich man Li's family is really a very unusual family in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was the pinnacle of feudal society, and one of the most prominent features of feudal society was that men were superior to women. But the black girl can be so domineering.

  But think about it, no matter how feudal society is, no matter how men are superior to women, as long as the family is willing to dote on them, girls can still be raised as princesses in modern society. No one can say anything about other people's own affairs behind closed doors.

"When I get home, I always hear people say that you are smart. Wherever I go, I can hear the pride of Guashan Town, the talent of Guashan Town once in five hundred years... My ears are calloused, I don't believe you can How clever, it happens once in five hundred years..."

  The youngest of the Li family has his nostrils up in the sky, and he has...a lot of opinions on Zhu Ping'an, and he is full of displeasure.

Zhu Pingan felt that he was lying on the ground. Others say that I am smart is none of my business, and it is none of your business, unless...unless you are envious, but seeing the youngest of the Li family like this, it is really possible that you are envious Jealousy and hate. It is estimated that after the youngest of the Li family returned home, the rich man Li was checking the accounts at that time, and he may have just talked about his role in the audit. The other accountants probably respected him a lot, maybe because of this. The third child in the family, a sophomore in middle school, was dissatisfied. This age is the most competitive time, maybe he has been boasted about the once-in-three-hundred-year encounter.

   "It's so-so, I just got a little lucky." Zhu Ping'an said lightly, he doesn't like to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of trouble.

   "So-so, then I'd like to see how smart you are."

  The youngest of the Li family heard what Zhu Pingan said. Even more dissatisfied, he turned around and walked out of the water basin carried by the servants who followed him. He grabbed 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. Hehe, then guess, is the fish in my hand alive or dead?"

  The youngest of the Li family looked at Zhu Pingan provocatively, with a smug smile on his lips.

The black-bellied girl looked at her third brother in surprise, and said, 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 dead, The third brother stopped pinching the fish and stretched out his hand. Parenting is definitely alive and kicking.

   Then, looking at Zhu Pingan again, the black-bellied girl was also a little curious about how Zhu Pingan would respond.

   "Actually, it is very simple to guess whether the fish in your hand is alive or dead."

  What a black-bellied girl can figure out, Zhu Ping'an can naturally figure out too. Looking at the provocative eyes of the youngest of the Li family and his smug smile, Zhu Ping'an slowly raised the corners of his lips.

   "Simple. Hehe, then you can guess. If you guess wrong, you will not spread any clever, once-in-five-hundred-year words."

  Secondary two youth. The third child of the Li family has a confident expression on his face.

  Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded. The most interesting thing is to ravage the second-year youths.

"Actually, you must be thinking in your heart. If I say it is a live fish, you will crush it to death. If it is a dead fish in your hand, you will not pinch it, so whether I say a dead fish or a live fish, you can immediately Invincible, right?"

  Zhu Ping'an glanced at the youngest of the Li family, and asked a faint question.

  When the youngest of the Li family heard the words, an abnormal look flashed across his face, but he immediately urged: "It's none of your business what I think, you guess it quickly."

"Of course, what you said is very reasonable. Scholars pay attention to mastering astronomy and geography. In fact, good scholars also have their own uniqueness in divination. Among the Four Books and Five Classics we often read, the Book of Changes, that is, the Book of Changes, has divination Occupying the function, the so-called gentleman dwells in observing its appearance and playing with its words, and in moving it observes its changes and plays with its appropriation, so it is blessed by God, and there will be no disadvantages..."

  Zhu Ping'an shook his head and talked a lot, leaving the youngest of the Li family in a fog.

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm writing a book, what do you want to say, just say it." The youngest of the Li family interrupted Zhu Pingan's long speech impatiently. up.

   "I know a little about divination, so I can accurately guess whether the fish in your hand is alive or dead." Zhu Pingan was not angry when he was interrupted by the third son of the Li family, and he said it concisely with the corners of his lips curled up.

   "Oh, then you are divining?" The youngest of the Li family stretched out his hand holding the fish, disdainful of what Zhu Pingan said about divination. I control the life and death of the fish with my own hands, and you still tell me that you know divination! What a shame! What smart, what happens once in five hundred years, nonsense, purely a nerd who reads and loses his mind.

"Of course I have to do divination, but I need to ask a few questions before divination. After all, fortune tellers on the street also need to know the birth date and the like. Of course, I don't need to know the birth date of fish, but I still need to confirm a few questions. , so that you can test the fish in your hand." Zhu Pingan pointed to the hand tightly held by the youngest of the Li family, and said lightly.

   "Stop talking nonsense, if you want to ask, ask quickly." The youngest of the Li family looked impatient.

   "What kind of fish are you catching?" Zhu Pingan asked slowly.

   "Little grass carp." The youngest of the Li family was not very willing to cooperate.

  After the third child in the Li family finished speaking, Zhu Pingan went to find a writing brush and a piece of rice paper on one side of the table, and wrote the name of the fish on it.

   "Where did this fish come from?" After finishing writing, Zhu Pingan asked again slowly.

   "It came from the water, otherwise it could have jumped out of the stone?" The youngest of the Li family looked impatient.

  Zhu Ping'an dipped the brush in the ink again, and wrote the words "Shui Li" on the rice paper.

  Zhu Ping'an's serious action attracted everyone's curiosity. Almost everyone in the study looked at the piece of paper under Zhu Ping'an's hands curiously. Could he really know divination?

  Only the black-bellied girl despised her third brother clearly, and she didn't know that she was taken into the ditch.

  Zhu Pingan then asked two more questions.

   "Are you still finished?!" The impatience of the youngest of the Li family has reached the extreme.

   "It's over, there is no problem. Give me a little time, and I will use the five elements method to measure the hexagram." Zhu Pingan lowered his head after speaking, and began to calculate seriously on the paper.

   Just when the third son of the Li family was about to run out of patience!

  Zhu Ping'an finally raised his head from the paper, pondered for a moment, and said lightly, "The fish in your hand is dead."

  The youngest of the Li family stretched out his hand, looked down at the fish in his hand, blushed, and said, "Paralyzed, it was still alive half an hour ago!"

   poof

  The black-bellied girl finally couldn't help laughing, pointed at her third brother with one hand, covered her cherry lips with the other, and let out a series of laughter like silver bells, her big watery eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, full of smiles.

   "Third brother, you have been taken into the ditch by him, but you don't know yet." The black-bellied girl pointed at her third brother and laughed, "What Zhouyi gossip, I don't see that he is deliberately delaying time."
