[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Until Wang Ren met Emperor Kangxi and was given a seat, he didn't figure this out.

He clearly followed the "dandy" path that Wang Ren himself should have, right?I don't read poetry and books, and I don't know etiquette.Although the original book did not mention what Wang Ren's daily life was like, he believed that the original Wang Ren never had the chance to meet the emperor!

Not to mention meeting alone to offer advice!

How could such a high-level matter as how to control the water have something to do with him, a dude!

But obviously now say to Kangxi, 'I'm sorry I'm just a dandy, I don't make anything, let me go, okay?Then I was dealt with by Wang Ziteng, who dared to embarrass me!

Kangxi asked Wang Ren about water control, and after Wang Ren was silent for a while, he told Kangxi what he had said before.That's all I know, nothing else!

Kangxi was silent, turned his head and asked the eunuch beside him, "Li Yu, how many households are there in the village over there?"

Li Yu lowered his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, there are more than 20 households in Old Lizhuang, about 30 households in Old Wangzhuang, and more than 50 households, with two hundred people."

Kangxi nodded, two hundred people are not many.Then he asked: "Can you guarantee that after they move out, this place will not flood?"

"Back to Your Majesty." Wang Ren replied like Li Yu, completely unaware that the title of His Majesty is only used by those who are close to him.Li Yu glanced at Wang Ren, then turned to look at Kangxi, seeing that he did not show dissatisfaction, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"The river on the hillside is diverted to the bottom, and the river must be dug deep. Then it turns into the sea. There are many trees beside the river. The so-called wood can overcome the soil, and the soil is heavy and the wood is broken; the soil can overcome the water, and the water is abundant. The soil is full of trees. If the soil is lost, the soil will be suppressed. If the soil is not lost, the water will not flood.”

Kangxi stroked his beard and nodded, and then said: "Then let them move. Now that the house and farmland have been destroyed, I took this opportunity to let them live in a new place. It was announced to the public that they cut down too many trees and destroyed the residence of the water god, which touched people. The water god is angry."

Li Yu bent down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then, since you know how to look at Feng Shui, it's up to you to find a new residence for the people in these two villages." Kangxi said.

Wang Ren was startled: "Huh?"

Li Yu winked at him, Wang Ren nodded hastily: "Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing Kangxi waving at him, he folded his hands and retreated.

After Wang Ren left, Kangxi said slowly: "As expected, I have seen him somewhere. Li Yu, do you have any impression?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have indeed seen it." Li Yu bowed and said.

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember a time when you went out of the palace and went to a fortune-telling stall on the street?" Li Yu said, "Speaking of which, the cloth he hung is very interesting, and it says 'fortune-telling for ordinary people'. When he mentions Feng Shui, the servant can't match people, he just thinks it's an imaginary person."

"Remember, it turned out to be him!" Kangxi smiled and tapped his palm with a fan, and said, "The only son of a first-rank official, going out to set up a fortune-telling stall?"

Li Yu smiled and said cautiously: "This person behaves differently from ordinary people."

"Wang Ziteng's only son. I remember rumors that he is an ignorant dude." Kangxi thought for a while.

"Yes." Li Yu said: "I have heard of this servant too. He is a dandy who doesn't like reading, but only likes to have fun."

Kangxi shook his head: "I don't know if he likes to read or not. But judging from the previous sentence of 'blocking is worse than sparse' and the remarks just now, he is by no means an ignorant dude."

He thought for a while, and said to Li Yu, "Call Yinxiang back."

Li Yu saluted and went out.Later Yinxiang came over and saluted Kangxi.

"Okay, come here." Kangxi said: "Sit down."

"Yes, Father."

"I want to ask about that Wang Ren." Kangxi said, "Are you familiar with him?"

Yinxiang thought for a while, and smiled slightly: "Father, you say you are familiar, but you just met him just now. You say you are not familiar, but my son and I have been really close to him recently."

"How is his homework?" Kangxi asked.

Yinxiang smiled: "Father, I remember that he is reciting "The Analects of Confucius" recently."

Kangxi: ==

"In addition, I don't know how to ride horses or shoot arrows. According to him, he is learning Guzheng recently, but that voice..." Yinxiang shook his head and said, "Er Chen and Third Brother were lucky enough to hear it once. If barbarians attack, he will play a song It can scare people away.”

Kangxi: ...

Yinxiang continued: "But I don't think he is a dandy. I once talked to him about the flood, and he described to me the scene of the miserable people being displaced. Father, I think you can talk about the flood. The first thing I think of is the people who have nowhere to go, and their character can be imagined."

"If he passes the scientific examination." Kangxi said: "I am willing to give him a chance, regardless of his rank."

Yinxiang smiled helplessly: "Father, do you think he will pass the exam? He is currently reciting "The Analects of Confucius."

A scholar's exam can kill him.

Kangxi had the urge to help his forehead.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Kangxi said: "I sent him to find a new residence for the people in the village. Yinxiang, you can go with him."

"Father? Are you really going to let those peasants move?" Yinxiang asked: "Wang Ren is very convinced of Fengshui and divination. Although my son thinks what he said makes sense, if he relies on Fengshui..."

"It doesn't matter what he relies on to find it, and it doesn't matter what kind of crooked reasoning he has." Kangxi said: "I only look at the result."

"Yes, Father."

Kangxi continued to ask: "Do you know about his divination?"

"Yes." Yinxiang said: "It's a bit ridiculous to say, when I first met him, he set up a fortunetelling stall on the street." From Kangxi's words, he knew that he remembered Wang Ren's stall, so Yinxiang decided to tell the truth.

Kangxi looked at Yinxiang amusedly: "You asked him to tell a fortune."

"Yes." Yinxiang said: "Because my son happened to be chasing down the private salt at that time, and seeing him divination for the person my son was chasing, I went to try it out of curiosity."

Kangxi: "What's the result? Are you sure?"

Yinxiang paused for a moment, and didn't know how to explain it: "It can be said that it is accurate. The minister was able to quickly find the warehouse where the salt was stored. It was he who calculated a hexagram for him. It's just that the minister still doesn't believe it very much. I think it's just a coincidence."

"There are always strange people and strange things in this world." Kangxi said with a smile: "Maybe he is very proficient in "Book of Changes", don't worry about it."

Kangxi and Yinxiang chatted for a while, and then let Yinxiang go back.Kangxi was silent for a while, then said, "Li Yu, what do you think?"

"My slave thinks that Wang Ren is not a bad person with evil intentions." Li Yu hesitated, "My slave thinks what Brother Thirteen said is very true, a person who will think about the common people, and has a noble character."

"I'm not doubting Wang Ren's character, but talking about his divination." Kangxi said: "I also asked him for divination, do you remember?"

Li Yu said: "I remember."

"It's not sure, and it's not sure." Kangxi said: "Forget it, after he comes back, I will tell him a divination. Whether he is playing tricks or has real skills, you will know once you test."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
