Chapter 166 I am a fortune teller

The scholars finally disappeared. Hu Ye looked downstairs through the window and found that the scholars had left before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, you guys go out first. Master, I'm going to study hard." Hu Ye coughed, and then said very seriously.

Saren stuck out his tongue and took Qingyi back to their room. Lao Qian retreated outside the door and guarded him at the door.

After sending them away, Hu Ye took out the couplet in his arms and spread it flat on the table.

At this time, Xiaoqiang also jumped onto the table and stared at the words on the couplet, as if he was a wolf who could watch calligraphy.

Hu Ye glanced at Xiaoqiang and said that this guy actually jumped up from the floor. It seemed that he had grown up and the table about three feet tall jumped up directly.

After touching Xiaoqiang's head, Hu Ye pushed it aside and wanted to watch Wang Wei's couplet carefully.

Those who have ambitions will succeed and make a fortune. The 12 Qin Passes will eventually belong to Chu.

Although this couplet only has seventeen characters, it contains more things.

The first one is Wang Wei’s personal preferences.

From these seventeen words, we can see that Wang Wei is not a person who is content with the status quo, and his writing style is more radical. Therefore, Hu Ye believes that when answering the paper, he must not be too gentle, and must be more radical. As long as he matches the examiner's writing style, at least he will pass the first level much easier.

The second is Wang Wei's font habits.

From these words, we can see that Wang Wei's fonts are now available. Although there is a copying system, those who copy must be familiar with Wang Wei's fonts. When copying, they found that they were similar to those of their own adult fonts, so they had to take care of them no matter what.

The third one is the general direction of this imperial examination.

This half of the couplet tells the story of Xiang Yu burning his boat. Although it is impossible to directly give a title to tell you how Xiang Yu was like this, it must be related to this aspect. At least it will not be a pure literary thing when literati and poets are together.

So after reading it for most of the day, Hu Ye had already read almost everything the throne wanted to express in this couplet, and he had a little confidence in this election, otherwise he might have been a disciple of the dead eunuch.

Xiaoqiang looked at Hu Ye blankly, and from time to time he played with the ink with his front paws, then stepped on the plum blossom mark on the rice paper, and he became happier the more he played.

"Xiaoqiang, don't make trouble!" Hu Ye reminded in a low voice. This couplet is a good thing and must not be ruined.

After being scolded by Hu Ye, Xiaoqiang stopped moving. He lay there intently watching Hu Ye imitate Wang Wei's font.

However, imitation is not achieved through urging us. Hu Ye only learned the sameness of form after learning for a long time, but he did not learn the essence at all.

It happened to be lunch time, and Xiaoqiang's gurgling stomach reminded Hu Ye. So Hu Ye had to put down his pen, picked up Xiaoqiang and walked out.

Fortunately, Xiaoqiang is not too heavy now, only twenty or thirty pounds. In a few months, Hu Ye will probably not be able to hold him.

When I brought Lao Qian and the others down for dinner, I met Yin Changlong again. I guess this guy had been studying in the house for a long time and was doing his best to prepare for this provincial examination.

"Brother Yin, it's just right, let's have a meal together." Hu Ye knew that this guy would definitely not be willing to spend money, even if he lent him one hundred taels, he would definitely save money.

But Hu Ye knew that the examination environment in the Gongyuan was four or five feet wide, and he couldn't stand up even if he didn't have a good body. He couldn't hold on inside. So Hu Ye must let Yin Changlong eat and drink well, he was the protagonist of his own bet.

"It's better to obey your orders than respect." Yin Changlong nodded and said yes.

So almost a few people ordered a hearty lunch, chicken leg meat and pork leg meat were essential. The old-money broad beans were used to serve wine.

And recently Xiaoqiang has become obsessed with drinking and always snatches a bowl from Lao Qian to drink.

Lao Qian was very reluctant, but the young master said that Xiaoqiang was his brother, so Lao Qian had to endure it.

Look, Xiaoqiang had just eaten a large piece of pork leg meat, and he licked Lao Qian's wine bowl with his tongue. Lao Qian glanced at him and then pushed the wine bowl directly to Xiaoqiang, indicating that it was yours.

Xiaoqiang showed two fangs to Lao Qian, and his mouth moved, as if he was showing off to Lao Qian.

Yin Changlong looked at these magical people and found that Hu Ye didn't look like the young master at all, but like Lao Qian's son. Sa Ren and Qingyi didn't look like his maids, but like his sister.

Xiaoqiang looks very much like his brother, because basically, Xiaoqiang eats whatever Hu Ye eats. Even the wine bowl is snatched from Lao Qian. Is this what a dog should do?

"Brother Hu, can I find out something?" Yin Changlong added a piece of green vegetables and asked Hu Ye carefully.

"Brother Yin has something to say." Hu Ye said to Yin Changlong after throwing a piece of meat to Xiaoqiang.

"How is Brother Hu sure that I will be a Jinshi? And I dare to use 10,000 taels of silver as a bet. Even if Brother Hu's family is full of money, this ten thousand taels of silver cannot be squandered like this." Yin Changlong asked his question about this day.

Because from the time they got along on this day, Hu Ye was not a fool and had no problems with his brain. But from his performance, he could see that he was more confident than himself, but he didn't know where his confidence came from.

Hu Ye smiled and then made a profound expression. Lao Qian knew at a glance that the young master was about to start lying, which was what he was best at.

Sure enough, Hu Ye took out three copper coins with a smile and shook them in front of Yin Changlong's eyes.

"Brother Hu, this is..." Yin Changlong looked at the copper coins curiously. The edges and corners on them had been worn out, and no one wanted them even if they were buying things.

"This is a good thing. I believe Brother Yin has also heard of divination." Hu Ye played with the copper coins in his hand and asked Yin Changlong with a smile.

"Divine art? I have indeed heard of it, but it is all done by those sorcerers. Is Brother Hu well aware of this?" Yin Changlong put down his chopsticks and looked at Hu Ye in confusion.

Under his influence, those fortune tellers were all old men. Hu Ye looked eleven or twelve years old, and he ate more rice than others, so he was like competing for jobs with those people?

"I just understand a little bit wherever I am." Hu Ye said modestly.

"Haha, my young master is just humble. If he said that divination skills are second, there would be no one in the world who dares to be the number one." Old Qian hugged the wine pot and drank the wine, and said carelessly.

The wine bowl was occupied by Xiaoqiang, so he could only drink it in the wine pot, which looked very domineering.

Yin Changlong looked at Lao Qian in surprise. This guard who didn't look like a guard was really uncovered. No one dared to claim to be the best in the world. He thought that this guy was a bit boastful.

But he found that Hu Ye had no intention of refuting at all. Could it be that Lao Qian was true?

"Brother Hu, I heard that Zhang Tianshi in the court had unparalleled divination skills. I wonder how your skills compare to him?" Yin Changlong asked curiously.

"Master Zhang Tian?" Hu Ye was stunned. It seemed that before coming to Peking, Jin Da had told him about this person, saying that he would use these three copper coins to humiliate Master Zhang Tian, ​​because Master Zhang Tian had stolen his father's limelight over the years.

"Yes, it is Zhang Tianshi of Zhengyi Taoist Sect who is always in the palace. He is the emperor's imperial celestial master, and he often makes some calculations. This year, this severe drought, the emperor asked Zhang Tianshi to sacrifice to the sky at the Temple of Heaven, but Zhang Tianshi said that this was not a natural disaster, but a **. Only when the disaster was eliminated would it rain. However, when the emperor asked him what he was, Zhang Tianshi stopped talking." Yin Changlong said the secrets of the palace, which sounded decent.

"**?" The copper coins in Hu Ye's hand fell on the table.

What a bullshit master this is? What era is this? I am still engaging in superstition here. This is not a natural disaster. Young Master, I am a veteran and I am very familiar with this matter. It will rain until October at the latest. It turns out that this master is just like this, and he only knows how to fool the emperor and the people.

Hu Ye suddenly thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to die. Could it be that this bullshit Master Zhang was teaching Zhu Yuanzhang the art of immortality and how to eat. There were many emperors who died like this in history. After all, when he was at that position, no one wanted to sit down forever?

"Brother Hu." Yin Changlong picked up the copper coins on the table and handed them to Hu Ye's hand, waking up Hu Ye who was thinking.

"Ah, oh, that's the matter, I'll talk to Zhang Tianshi in the future." Hu Ye said a little embarrassedly when woken up by Yin Changlong.

"Brother Hu is really a strange person." Yin Changlong couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, nothing, I'm just a fortune teller." Hu Ye hurriedly put away three copper coins and spread his hands and said. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
