[Old Nine Gates] The concubine is polite

The handicap where Qi Ba is located can be called a fortune-telling street. On the surface, Qi Ba's fortune-telling booth is really nothing outstanding.However, those who come here to look for Qi Ba are probably because of Qi Tiezui's ability. Qi Ba is a strange person among Changsha's old nine sects. Although he is a fortune teller, he never believes in ghosts and gods.He is good at fortune-telling and is very accurate. When fortune-telling, he will take a look, say half a sentence, and hide half a sentence, but the half sentence hidden will cost a thousand gold to buy.Qi Tiezui has no skills, and relies entirely on his words and fortune-telling to gain his reputation. He makes good use of various props and gadgets, which can often come in handy in times of crisis.

I remember that Du Niang's comments to Qi Ba seem to be funny, but in fact they are thoughtful, well-planned, and extremely accurate, but at the same time, there are many things that they know but can't explain.Li Yan has not been here for a long time, but after several contacts with Qi Ba, he understands why the Buddha relies so much on this person, and now he also needs to turn to him for help.

The plaque at the entrance of Qijia Xiangtang reads "One purchase, one calculation", the left couplet reads "Take a divination by name, measure the characters to see the phase", and the right couplet reads "Feng Shui, fortune-telling and fortune-telling". Li Yan looked at the left and right Nagato couplets and smiled. Said: "Baye, this man looks low-key, but he is actually quite confident. Look at this door couplet, which hides the horoscope "to guide the maze and turn danger into good fortune". Isn't it just because of the horoscope that Baye is here? "

The guard looked at the long couplet on both sides of the door and read it over and over again. Although he couldn't understand it, it didn't affect the admiration he looked at his wife.

As soon as Li Yan walked into the incense hall, a young man pretending to be a servant greeted him: "Are the two of you the lottery or... Fourth Miss?"

"Xiao Man, I'm not the Fourth Miss now, you want to call me Mrs. Zhang." Li Yan smiled and fanned her pretentious sandalwood fan.

The servant's face was full of joy of meeting an acquaintance, and he said courteously: "Yes, ma'am, you haven't been here for a long time. Eighth master is now in the inner hall, shall I take you there?"

Li Yan closed his fan and clapped his hands, proudly said: "It seems that I am lucky, let's go, I am here this time to find Lord Ba."

Qi Ba's incense hall is not big, and turning around the screen wall in front is the inner hall. When Li Yan came in, Qi Ba had just unwrapped the ticket for a broker and sent the guest away. Seeing Li Yan, a rare guest, come to the door, he was surprised: "Why do you Is Kong coming over? No wonder I made a fortune today, saying that a distinguished guest is coming, I am still wondering where the distinguished guest came from after a long time, but I never thought that it was you, a rare guest. Xiao Man, serve some refreshments."

"It's rare to go out, so I turned to you to have a look. I haven't been here for a long time, and nothing has changed here." Li Yan sat down, took a sip of Xiao Manjing's tea and put it on the table, looking around. surrounding arrangement.

Qi Ba also looked at his incense hall, and saw that it was getting late outside the door, and joked: "The Qi family has a single lineage, and now I am alone, it is enough to run this incense hall. But what kind of wind is blowing today, you Usually at this time, I go back to the mansion on time to have dinner with the Buddha, why did you come to me today?"

"Satisfied and happy, you are the most understanding person in life. I really need your help today, and now I have one thing I can't understand. I know that your divination is the most effective, and I immediately thought of you , give me some pointers, too?" Li Yan praised and praised, and laughed happily with Qi Ba.

"Come, ask for one in the lottery." Qi Ba took the lottery from the table and handed it to Li Yan, asking Li Yan to put six coins into the sesame oil box before asking for a lottery.

Li Yan closed his eyes and thought out the problem he wanted to solve in his heart with the stick. After shaking it for a while, he finally got one. There was nothing else written on the sign, so he wrote 72 lots.Li Yan handed the lottery to Qi Ba devoutly.

Qi Ba glanced at the sign and read out a poem: "Nongfeng needs to ask for honey from others, but he is afraid of being stabbed in the tail. Although there is a different road in front of him, he hides deep in the thorn forest."

As soon as Li Yan heard the poem, he smiled wryly: "I don't need to listen to your explanation, I can already guess that it's not a good sign. It seems that what I asked is really what I thought."

Qi Ba nodded: "Although I don't know what you are looking for, but don't be too discouraged. This lottery is Zhongji lottery. You must be careful and not force it when you explain it. It's like bees gathering honey for its origin. Afterwards, it's all about the virtues of our ancestors." Zhi, if you can do it in a logical way, you will grow more and more. It is the reward of heaven, and you must be patient if you suffer first, then you will be happy, otherwise there will be no chance of success, and the word forbearance will turn evil into good fortune."

Li Yan Daoyuyan: "To sum up the above, I can sum it up in four words, let nature take its course, right?"

Qi Ba explained in detail: "The so-called 'the mountain does not turn around the road, the road does not turn around the person', in fact, many times, as long as you change the angle and think in reverse, you can change your mood. When the real environment is limited and does not allow major changes, you might as well Be patient for a while, don't make rash and impulsive decisions at this moment, maintain an optimistic and relaxed mood, and not be easily affected by the environment or personnel."

Li Yan nodded receptively: "I understand, this signing is just as I planned, and I can feel relieved when I get the same signing from you."

Qi Ba didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Emotionally, you came to me just to seek peace of mind?"

Li Yan ate his snack and nodded: "Yes, you are the reassurance."

Seeing Li Yan's delicious food, Qi Ba also picked up a snack: "Haha, my treatment has been slightly improved, from a green onion to a reassurance charm, yes, the promotion is just around the corner."

Li Yan finished his snacks, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, looked left and right, saw that the guards and Qi Ba's servants were outside, and beckoned to Qi Ba with a mysterious face, beckoning to come closer and talk: "Old Ba, actually Well, I have one more thing I want to divination with you this time, you can calculate for me, when will I be able to conceive a child? Or calculate when it will be easy to conceive when I prepare for it?"

"Pfft!" Qi Ba spat out the crumbs in one gulp, before he could swallow it, he coughed half to death as it got stuck in his trachea.

Seeing that Qi Ba's face was flushed with coughing, Li Yan helplessly stepped forward to help him pat his back, and said in his mouth, "Hey, you are so anxious to eat a snack. This snack belongs to your family. It’s so delicious, how can you eat it like this?”

Qi Bayi pointed at Li Yan coughing so hard that he couldn't speak, tremblingly stretched out to the tea cup on the table and picked it up to drink a meal of beef. After finally recovering his breath, he said in a hoarse voice: "Ah Yan, next time Just let me know when you come." Anyway, let me have a preparation to escape, once you come, I will go with half my life, you husband and wife together, I will drive west sooner or later.

"Why are you so polite? You and I have known each other for many years, and we have long been indistinguishable from each other. The snacks you prepared today are not bad. There is no need to prepare them too carefully. I am not the person who cares about such things."

Surprised by Li Yan's cheekiness, Qi Ba picked up the teapot again and poured a cup of tea by himself, let's drink a cup of tea to calm down the shock.

"How is it? Quickly help me figure it out, time is running out." Li Yan anxiously calculated that if she conceives now, she will not be able to give birth until next year. In this way, when war breaks out, at least she can take advantage of the fact that her child needs the protection of the Buddha. A little bit of bargaining chip is also good.

But why is this time-crunching sentence so familiar, where does it seem to have been heard?By the way, it seems that the Buddha often likes to say this sentence, if he doesn't move, he doesn't have time.I remember that when watching "Tomb Raider Notes", Zhang Qiling always liked to say this sentence when he recovered a little bit of memory. It seems that the Zhang family has the problem of "time is pressing", and now even he is infected by saying this sentence. Sure enough The sister is from the Zhang family, hehehe.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't know what he was thinking, Qi Ba suddenly smirked when he was talking, and moved the chair away as if avoiding suspicion: "OK, let me do the math for you. I understand your anxious feeling. But this matter, don’t be in a hurry. Besides, I’m a single, unmarried man. Although I can do divination, I have no experience in this area. So my suggestion, there is something , mainly rely on manpower."

Li Yan unfolded his fan to half cover his face, blinked his beautiful eyes, and complimented: "I know, but the thing is to pay attention to the right time, place and people. Now I have the right place and people. If the time is not right, I have to Are you looking for professional help? When it comes to fortune-telling, who else in Changsha is more professional than you?"

Covering his eyes with one hand, Qi Ba sighed in admiration: "Okay, okay, I'll let you count." After that, Qi Ba calculated according to the horoscopes of Master Zhang Dafo and Li Yan.

"what?"

Li Yan immediately sat upright: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Qi Ba was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, withdrew his hands and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "A good thing is coming soon, it seems that you and Buddha are going to treat me to a good meal."

Now Li Yan was in a daze: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I, Qi Ba, either don't tell the truth, or tell the truth."

Li Yan stood up as if in a daze: "Old Ba, I ask you for auspicious words, I'm going back and getting ready."

Qi Ba then stood up and sent Li Yan out: "Okay, go back quickly, I can wait to hug my eldest nephew next year."

Li Yan's face burned, and now she felt belatedly shy: "What kind of nephew is it, at least godson."

Qi Ba's speechless footsteps trembled: "...I haven't got the money for this wedding, but you have already started to think about the meeting gift. It seems that the Buddha has you, and he will never have to worry about food and clothing."

Li Yan pushed Qi Ba, and said with a smile: "Lao Ba loves to praise people, and it has always been a good habit of me, a good wife and mother, to plan ahead."

Qi Bayi sent Li Yan all the way to Chayingkou and boarded the car before waving goodbye. Before the car window was raised, he said to Li Yan in a slow voice: "Everything has its own destiny, Ayan don't need to worry too much."

The car was moving, and Qi Ba, who was smiling outside the window, gradually moved away from his sight. Li Yan turned around and lowered his head and smiled: "The people around Buddha are all wonderful people."

"Ma'am, I heard that Ba Ye's fortune-telling is very accurate, did you get the lottery you want today?" Seeing Li Yan's smiling face, Xiaokui asked with a wink.

Li Yan raised her head to look at the curious Xiaokui, and said with a smile, "Well, if you seek benevolence, you will get what you want."
