Chapter 42 Fortune Telling(1/2)
Lijia'ao is really small, only about half the size of Banpo Village.
However, the houses in Lijia'ao are neatly built.
Although it is not a brick house, the walls are all made of bluestone, but the roof is paved with blue tiles.
Generally speaking, Lijia'ao looks wealthier than Banpo Village.
When people in the village saw Li Guilan and Song Juan, they all smiled and had very good attitudes.
On the way to her uncle's house, Song Juan met seven or eight cousins, a dozen cousins-in-law, and two cousins. As for the little ones younger than her, they were all running around the village in a swarm.
go.
"This population is really prosperous!"
Song Juan admired her uncle more and more for developing a family by herself.
She knew that her grandfather was the only son of his uncle.
When she arrived outside her uncle's house, Song Juan couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Her uncle's house is located in the center of the village. It was originally a large courtyard with five in and five out. But now, the outermost wall has been demolished, and the five-in and five-out courtyard has become five rows of houses.
.
My uncle’s daughters-in-law now live in these five rows of houses.
Of course, there are several cousins of Song Juan who also live here. On weekdays, they are responsible for taking care of the daily life of the old uncle and their respective mothers.
Compared with before, the biggest difference between my uncle's house and my uncle's house is probably that the five-entry house with its own entrance has been replaced by five rows of houses.
"Mom, what is my uncle's family background?"
Song Juan asked in a low voice.
Based on the fact that she had entered a big house five times before, Song Juan felt that her old uncle must be a rich farmer!
However, the truth is that my uncle's family background is poor peasants.
"Do you feel strange?"
Li Guilan suddenly became happy when she saw Song Juan's appearance, "Don't be surprised, when your uncle lived in the village, he didn't have any land."
"Then how does my uncle support his family?"
"It's not about robbing homes, right?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Guilan slapped Song Juan directly, "Your brother-in-law is self-taught. He usually sets up a stall in the county town and tells people's fortunes. He's so good!"
"...?!"
Song Juan was dumbfounded.
Can your old uncle tell fortunes?
Well, there is absolutely no information about this in the memory of my predecessor.
"I didn't tell you before because you were still young and I was afraid that you would say nonsense. In those years, your brother-in-law did this and it had a bad influence!"
"Also, now that you know it, don't talk nonsense, do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Song Juan nodded hurriedly.
Fortune telling, this is a member of the ninth class.
Not long after, Song Juan met this legendary uncle.
When the two met for the first time, Song Juan felt her soul tremble, as if everything about her was clearly seen by him.
"Sister, please stay here with me!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely treat her like a treasure like you and won't let her be wronged!"
Li Zhao looked at his eldest sister seriously, with a smile on his face.
"Brother, I take it seriously!"
Li Guilan, however, looked serious.
"Sister, when have I ever lied to you since you were a child?"
Li Zhao stroked his goatee, "I didn't want to see Juan'er before because she was not sensible at that time. Now that she is so sensible, how can I, as an uncle, not love her?"
"Okay, just let Juan'er stay here for three to five days. Once the things at home are over, I'll come and take her back!"
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just stay a few more days!"
Li Zhao chuckled.
Song Juan looked at the old uncle's smiling face and her heart beat faster.
She became more and more suspicious that she had been seen through.
After Li Guilan leaves, will my old uncle directly cast a spell to take his soul out of this body?
Or, will I be regarded as some kind of lonely ghost?
"Let's see about this later!"
Li Guilan was very worried that Song Juan would not be able to adapt to her daughter's growth, and she had never left him outside.
Finally, Li Guilan had lunch at Lijia'ao, and then her eldest nephew Li Shouren sent him back to Banpo Village.
As for Song Juan, she stayed in Lijia'ao.
After Li Guilan left, Li Zhao called Song Juan and took her into the Li family's ancestral hall.
"Kneel down!"
After entering the ancestral hall, Li Zhao glanced at Song Juan and spoke calmly.
Song Juan looked at the pitiful few memorial tablets placed in the ancestral hall and looked at the old uncle in confusion.
"how?"
"unwilling?"
Li Zhao glanced at Song Juan, "Now that you are here and you are the granddaughter of the Li family, shouldn't you pay homage to the ancestors of the Li family?"
"Do you know my situation?"
Song Juan still didn't kneel down.
When Li Zhao heard this, he smiled and said, "What else?"
"Little girl, my old man can still tell a bit about your origins."
"Of course, I can't see who you are and where you come from."
"However, I know that my unlucky niece is unlucky."
"If my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law had been raised poor since childhood, that girl might have lived a few more years. But they didn't listen to me and spoiled the girl too much. The blessings she deserved for decades were lost in more than ten years.
Enjoyed it all!”
Li Zhao sighed, "Even now, I don't know what is good."
"Okay, hurry up and kneel down and kowtow!"
This time, Song Juan knelt down directly and kowtowed respectfully to the rows of spiritual tablets.
Just like what the old uncle said, since she is the granddaughter of the Li family and the daughter of Li Guilan, it is natural for her to kowtow to the ancestors of the Li family.
After Song Juan finished kowtowing, Li Zhao called her out.
"Little girl, do you want to learn fortune telling from me?"
"I tell you, our family's arithmetic method was inherited from the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. The ancestors were Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng!"
"Can I learn?"
Song Juan was really stunned now.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be passed down from male to female?
Also, although I am the granddaughter of the Li family, her surname is Song!
"certainly!"
"Don't think too much. This knowledge is all about fate."
"None of your cousins have the fate or qualifications."
"Only you are suitable!"
"Otherwise, do you think I would pass it on to you casually?"
"Then, do you want to become a disciple?"
"nonsense!"
