Chapter 6 Same Hexagram Different Fruit
Just when he was confused, Aunt Liu had already smiled and thanked her, then sat back to her stall and began to greet pedestrians and buy her dishes.
When she saw someone walking by, she said enthusiastically: "Uncle, buy vegetables. The ones I just picked from the field are fresh and sophisticated. Brother, buy a handful of vegetables and go back. It's cheap, only one handful of money."
She kept greeting, but none of the people walking past him stopped to look at the green vegetables.
When Aunt Liu greeted passers-by to buy groceries, Yi Xingchen also stood in front of the divination stall and called passers-by to tell fortunes according to the memories left by the apprentice in his mind. Of course, he did not like some fortune tellers who pulled others to say that there was a disaster, scared the other party, and forced the other party to sit down and tell fortunes.
In Chengzhi's memory, Gongsun He said that such things are contrary to the laws of nature, and they only rely on their abilities to make money by making money. Therefore, Yi Xingchen just kept calling the old man, uncle, and aunt, just do fortune telling, which is very smart.
However, he was so angry that he was so angry that no one sat down to tell their fortunes.
In the memory left by that apprentice, there were still many people telling fortunes in the Ming Dynasty, and the court's discussion of fortune-telling became popular. Many literati and poets were proficient in fortune-telling and numbers, and used them as topics after dinner. Therefore, the people who really sat at the roadside fortune-telling stall to predict good and bad luck were mostly poor people who were ignorant of the people, and these people would not spend money on fortune-telling before they had no choice. Although one fortune-telling cost only five cents. However, for poor people, even a penny is precious.
The sun was getting a little bit west, and it had been an hour since Aunt Liu carried a load to sell vegetables.
Aunt Liu couldn't help but look at Gongsun He complained and said, "Sir, didn't you say that my vegetables will be sold soon and will make a profit? Why has it been more than an hour and didn't even ask me personally? When my vegetables were picked in the morning, they were so watery and wilted now that they couldn't sell them. I had to go through the cemetery when I went back, which was scary."
Gongsun He said, "Why are you in a hurry? My hexagram will not be wrong. Someone will come to buy your food soon. Business, I have to wait. I and I have been around for about two hours since noon to now, and it has not opened yet. Apart from telling you a free divination, no one comes to me to tell you. I don't know who to complain to me."
After almost an hour, as the sun gradually set on the eaves to the west, and further down, it was about to set. Aunt Liu was even more anxious and began to complain about Gongsun He, saying that he was not sure about fortune-telling, which made him like a game.
Gongsun He was very depressed and had no choice but to stare at him.
Seeing the sun set, I don’t go back, I’m afraid I will not be able to get home in the middle of the night.
Aunt Liu said to Gongsun He angrily: "The fortune teller! I'm telling you to confiscate my money and telling me the fortune teller. If you collected my money, I have to ask you to return it. What's your fortune teller? I said I could sell it early and make money. No one has come to buy it yet. The vegetables are wilted. Can you still sell it for money? Really, - Otherwise, I'll sell it for you at a cheap price. I'm too lazy to pick it back. I'll pick it for you after picking it up and pick it for home. I can't sell it tomorrow. I'll sell it for you at a cheap price, half price, and five cents."
Gongsun He smiled bitterly. He did have five cents in his pocket. This was what he planned to buy sesame cakes and steamed buns for his apprentice and his own stomach. Vegetables are not as good as steamed buns and steamed buns. So he could only smile bitterly and shake his head and say, "I don't have money to buy your vegetables. I will only have money unless I open them. It seems that it's going to be dark. I'm afraid I can't open them, and today's Zhongyuan Festival will not be able to celebrate."
"What are the Zhongyuan Festival? I have to go to the cemetery when I carry the load and go back! I have been in trouble for eight lifetimes. Why is this business so difficult? My family is still waiting for me to sell vegetables and buy a piece of pig skin to go to the festival."
"You still eat pig skin? Tsk tsk, our master and apprentice haven't been touched with lard for more than half a month. What can you care about with people we haven't even touched with oil stars?"
When Aunt Liu heard this, she stood up and said to Gongsun He: "I'm telling fortunes. It's wrong for you to say this. If I hadn't heard your nonsense just now and could not sell it in an hour, I would have changed to another place immediately, and maybe I would have sold it. Or, if I couldn't sell it in an hour, I would have picked it back and ate it myself, and I wouldn't have to go through the cemetery in the dark. Now when I heard your words, the sun was about to set and had not sold it yet. I could only go back in the dark. Passing by the cemetery, I would be scared by the ghost, and the medicine costs would be paid by you!"
When Gongsun He saw that she was angry, he did not call her husband, but called her "goods teller". He was also a little angry, so he stood up and said, "I said that the vegetable seller, what's the reason for you? I'll confiscate you a penny of money. Do you believe it or do you beg me to calculate it for you. Now you say the other way around and ask me to pay for the medicine. What's going on?"
"Even if I didn't pay a penny, you would hurt me if you were not sure about it. - Can you ignore it if you hurt someone and don't charge it?"
"Telling fortunes is just to help you come up with ideas. You have to make your own decisions on how to do it. You can't blame me, right?"
Aunt Liu said with her waist and said, "I don't care! You have been hurting me. I have been dragged to this point and haven't sold it yet. I will not extort you if I sell this dish to you. I will sell it for ten cents at noon. Now I only have half the price for five cents. Give me some capital and I will leave, otherwise you won't think about leaving!"
Gongsun He was so amused when he saw her relying on him. Seeing that the onlookers staring at him, it was hard to argue with a girl on the street, so he could only say unhappy: "I haven't opened since noon, so how can I buy your vegetables? But today is the Zhongyuan Festival. If I can open it before closing the stall, I will buy your vegetables. Our master and apprentice go home to celebrate the festival, without meat, and eating some vegetables can be considered a festival."
At this time, the sun had set and the sky was full of colorful clouds.
Looking at the colorful clouds in the sky, Yi Xingchen suddenly felt aroused in his heart. He understood what was going on with the flash of the hexagrams that appeared in his mind just now.
There are eight hexagrams of the Plum Blossom Yi numbers, Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun, representing several meanings, which are called the image of all things. The interpreter of the hexagrams is to find the meanings of the heavenly hexagrams from the meanings represented by these hexagrams.
What flashed in my mind before was the Lihuo Gua, and the Li Gua means colorful clouds in the plum blossoms and thousands of objects. Does that mean that Aunt Liu’s vegetables will not be sold until the colorful clouds are everywhere in the evening?
He was thinking about it here that Gongsun He and Aunt Liu had arguing over there, causing many people to stop and watch, and burst into laughter from time to time.
At this time, a fat man onlookers walked out and said, "Okay, don't argue, you two have to pay five cents. The fortune teller, I'll tell you a fortune. If you give you five cents, you will have money to buy her vegetables and she can go home. I am a kind person and do good deeds." After that, he took out the five cents and slapped it on the wooden box in front of Gongsun He.
Gongsun He and Aunt Liu were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly claimed their gratitude. Everyone around looked at the fat man with admiration and even said that he was a kind-hearted person.
Gongsun He was about to bend down to pick up the money, but Aunt Liu was much faster than him. He grabbed the five cents in his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, five cents are not too much, no more, two are cleared. The dishes belong to you! These dishes are ten cents, and you will give you half the price, and you will take advantage of the boss. Hehe."
When Yi Xingchen saw this scene, he even had a flash of inspiration in his mind. It was true! It was fulfilled! The Li Gua flashed in his mind indeed indicates that the time for fulfillment was the evening with the sunset full of colorful clouds. At this time, Aunt Liu's vegetables were sold.
Now, I will look back at the six three-dimensional hexagrams in my mind. The body hexagram is Zhen hexagram, which means being angry. Didn’t Aunt Liu just get angry? The hexagram that represents the divination object is Lihuo hexagram. Wood produces fire and leaks out, which means that it is a small evil, and in business it means that you can’t make money. Aunt Liu’s 10 cents of vegetables were sold for only five cents, but she did not make much money, which was completely consistent with the hexagram!
The result of the hexagram in his mind is completely different from the result of Gongsun He's interpretation of the hexagram. Gongsun He's interpretation of the hexagram is normal to interpret the hexagram according to the method of Yizi of Plum Blossoms, and look at the relationship between the body hexagram and the use hexagram. The result is that Kan water produces Zhen wood, which is auspicious, so the master came to the conclusion that he would sell it quickly and make money.
However, if the Li fire flashes in your mind as the result, the Zhenmu Shengli Fire is the main evil, and it will delay for a long time before it can be sold and will not make any money.
