Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

Chapter 293: Fortune telling parlor

Views:

Fang Li's voice was very brisk, with a Western accent in awkward Chinese, and he joked, "Oh! Dear Chairman, I heard that General Xu was so angry that he sent out the army last night? This is incredible. -" Not only did you last night You have gained a lot of prestige, and you have also gained the enemy’s attention?”

Xia Shao was so disgusted that her skin crawled. "If you don't change your accent, I will transfer you back to the headquarters. This way I will only see you a few times a year, so I can relax."

Fang Li immediately exaggerated: "Oh, Chairman! You can't do this to me, I just got favored!"

Xia Shao held her head and began to seriously consider transferring him back.

Fortunately, Fang Li didn't make a fuss for long. After saying this, he returned to his seriousness, and even his awkward Chinese accent became pure, "Don't worry, Wang Zhuo's company is always being watched. He is not the only one who has the ability. Our company has installed insiders, and we are also capable of doing so. I am arranging this matter, and will inform the chairman when there is news. Wang Zhuo should be at home these days, afraid to go out to meet people. This is why we have installed insiders. A good opportunity.”

"Yes." Xia Shao responded, telling Fang Li to be careful in everything, and then hung up the phone.

On this day, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin went to look at cars again, and finally chose a white Mercedes-Benz. Although the price was similar to the sports car last night, the model was a commonly used model. Xia Shao sat in and took a look, and felt that it was still suitable for her. It was spacious and comfortable.

On Monday, Xia Shao drove to school. Unfortunately, she met Wang Zihan while parking the car.

There are not many students at Beijing University who drive to classes, and the parking spaces are quite spacious. Xia Shao and Wang Zihan's cars entered the parking space one after the other. They were next to each other and bumped into each other when they got out of the car.

Wang Zihan is Wang Zhuo's sister. The Wang family has been in disgrace these past two days. Although everything is Su Yu's fault, it all started when Su Yu and Xia Shao were arguing about a sports car. It can be said that without this incident, there would be no such thing as Su Yu regretting the marriage and the Wang family being embarrassed. So Wang Zihan should be a little unhappy when she saw Xia Shao, but she smiled faintly at Xia Shao and said hello.

"Dr. Xia, what a coincidence." Wang Zihan has a dignified temperament, like the morning sun, with a faint smile, but there is no displeasure in his eyes.

"Good morning, Minister Wang." Xia Shaoyi smiled lightly, "I'm sorry about what happened on Friday night."

This incident brought great disgrace to the Wang family, and Xia Shao should not have mentioned it, especially because of her. But she still apologized. When Wang Zihan heard this, his reaction was very light. He just said: "I heard from my brother about this matter. That car was originally chosen by Director Xia, and Su Yu was responsible for the whole thing." It's Mr. Xia's fault, so don't feel sorry for it. It's better for us, the Wang family, to see clearly the people of the Su family now than to see clearly after my brother is married. On the other hand, my father and brother feel very sorry for what happened that night and want to ask When Director Xia has time, he and General Xu can go to Wang’s house for a meal, so that we can express our apologies and hope that Director Xia and General Xu will appreciate it.”

Xia Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, expressing his surprise and flatterment appropriately, and then smiled and said: "Commissioner Wang and Mr. Wang have invited me, how dare I not appreciate it. It's just that Yin won't come back from the military area until the weekend, so I'll ask him about the time." , how about giving Minister Wang an answer?"

"Then I'll wait for news from Director Xia." Wang Zihan smiled slightly and nodded to Xia Shao, "I have something to do with the student union, so I'll leave first."

Xia Shao nodded and saw Wang Zihan walking away before he smiled and snorted.

Wang Guangtang and Wang Zhuo were not willing to suffer the loss in vain and lost their marriage to the Su family. When they lost all their face, they still wanted to use what happened that night to get close to the Xu family.

If the Xu family and the Wang family are on good terms, then losing a Su family is not a loss at all.

snort! The plan is good, but can it come true... Haha.

Although the news about Friday night spread throughout Beijing University, many people knew about it. When Xia Shao was in class, she was naturally showered with all kinds of looks. But she has long been accustomed to this situation. The students look at theirs, but she is calm about hers. When it is time to go to class, she can laugh with her friends without being affected.

However, during lunch, as soon as Liu Xianxian entered the private room of the restaurant, she twisted her waist and sat next to Xia Shao, holding out three fingers, "I heard three versions. One, two women were competing for a sports car, and two real boyfriends helped, calling Come to the army for a fight. Second, two men are fighting for a girl, and the police, armed police, and the army take turns to fight, a big drama; third, Minister Wang's brother is in love with someone else, and his fiancée is looking for someone, and as a result, he meets a certain battalion commander in the car dealership. , the battalion commander felt sorry for Minister Wang’s future sister-in-law, so he called soldiers from the logistics department, but he didn’t expect that the field army would take the blame in the end!”

Liu Xianxian was counting the news she found with relish. Yuanze, Miao Yan and Zhou Mingxu all looked at Xia Shao without saying a word.

"Based on my many years of gossip experience, the above three versions are definitely not true. Can you tell me the true version?" Liu Xianxian looked at Xia Shao.

Xia Shao is already in trouble. This is nothing. The rumors are getting further and further away from the truth. Naturally, Xia Shao would not reveal her true intentions in scheming against the Wang family. She only mentioned the conflict over the sports car that night, and Liu Xianxian cursed angrily. Even Yuan Ze and the always good-tempered Zhou Mingxu frowned.

After scolding, Liu Xianxian looked regretful, "How come I didn't come across such a wonderful drama? If I had been here that night, I would have slapped the manager and the woman named Su so hard that they couldn't find anything!"

"You can't find anyone if you want to slap him now. One of them is at home and not going out, and the other must have been fired and is nowhere to be found." Xia Shao ate her food and poured cold water on Liu Xianxian.

Seeing that she was still smiling so leisurely, Yuanze frowned and said, "You have to be careful, beware of the Su family's revenge."

"Can't you? Does anyone dare to touch the person who is dear to General Xu?" Liu Xianxian didn't believe it.

Yuan Ze lowered his eyes, and an imperceptible dark color passed through his eyes. When he raised his eyes, his expression was as usual, "Not necessarily. If it was just a verbal dispute, the Su family would not dare to offend the Xu family. But now because of this matter, The Su family suffered a great loss because their engagement was annulled by the Wang family, so they will not hold a grudge."

"That's their daughter's fault! What's the matter with Shaozi!" Liu Xianxian raised her eyebrows, but she also understood that some people in this world are like this. It was obviously her fault, but she always thought it was someone else who harmed her.

"What should we do? Will Xiao Shao be in danger?" Miao Yan looked at Xia Shao worriedly.

Zhou Mingxu rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'm big, so I can act as a bodyguard next to Xiao Shao?"

Xia Shao was amused by her friends and looked at Zhou Mingxu, "Are you pretending to be a bodyguard? If something happens, I have to protect you."

Zhou Mingxu immediately blushed. Well, he has been unable to beat Xiao Shao since he was a child. "Then, what should we do? How about we all ask for a leave from school and stay with Xiao Shao every day?"

Xia Shao felt warm in her heart, but couldn't help but smile bitterly on her face, "How do you say it's the wind or the rain? Look at what you said, as if I will be kidnapped when I leave the school."

"That's right! What are you worried about?" Liu Xianxian smiled nonchalantly at this time, pointing at Xia Shao, "She is a magic stick, she can pinch and count. If someone is harmful to her? Can't she just count?"

"Healing can't cure you. It's the same with fortune telling." Xia Shao lowered her eyes. Besides, her fate was so strange that even her master couldn't tell her good or bad luck.

"Are you stupid? If you can't figure it out, why don't you just find someone to figure it out?" Liu Xianxian rolled her eyes at Xia Shao.

Um

Xia Shao turned around and said, "Who should I turn to?"

"There is a fortune-telling parlor in the capital, and it's pretty accurate."

"How do you know? Don't you never believe in these things? How do you know that there is a fortune-telling parlor in the capital?" Xia Shao looked at Liu Xianxian suspiciously.

Liu Xianxian rolled her eyes, "Isn't it you? I taught an elective course on Feng Shui last week, and now many people are very interested in Feng Shui. When I was in class this morning, I heard from the girls in my dormitory that they went shopping on weekends. I met a fortune-telling parlor, and the person was very accurate. I didn’t ask any more questions, and I’ll ask again when there’s class in the afternoon. I don’t have classes in the evening, can I take you to have a look?”

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, which made her interested.

Since she studied metaphysics and Yili with her master, most of the peers she met were busy fighting, but those who opened fortune-telling parlors didn't pay attention. Maybe he is really a master? Although her fate cannot be calculated, it is not a bad idea to meet someone, maybe meet an expert and have some exchanges.

Xia Shao only had two classes in the afternoon. After class, she went to the company first. After the company got off work, she drove back to Beijing University, picked up her friends, and went to the fortune-telling parlor together.

Friends gathered at the school gate, and Liu Xianxian was accompanied by a girl. The girl is also a dancer. She has a slim figure, long hair and fair skin. She looks very innocent.

"My roommate is Lian Keke." Liu Xianxian introduced.

Lian Keke was very excited to see Xia Shao, and her cheeks were a little red with excitement, "Hello, Director Xia. I have wanted to get to know you for a long time, and I finally have the chance today."

Xia Shao nodded, smiled, and greeted Lian Keke. This girl is very considerate. When she saw that there were a lot of people tonight, she said, "I'll take a taxi and take you from the front. I know the road."

Xia Shao smiled after hearing this and said, "No, I can fit in the car."

When buying a car, Xia Shao bought a seven-seat car, which was spacious. At first, she considered that except for Miao Yan, all her friends were from Qing Province. When she went back later, everyone would sit together in a spacious place. Secondly, everyone has luggage, so there are more seats to put things in.

"There are only a few people here, so you can rest assured. She usually has the most luggage, so there are not enough seats for her to put her luggage." Yuanze joked from the side.

Xia Shao was speechless, thinking that her embarrassing incident might be ridiculed for many years.

A group of people got into Xia Shao's car. Lian Keke gave directions on the way, while Xia Shao drove. On the way, they heard how accurate the fortune teller was.

According to Lian Keke, the fortune teller was amazing. He could figure out her last name and how many brothers and sisters she had in her family. That day she was shopping with some friends and passed by the fortune-telling parlor. The man inside turned his back to them and could actually tell what clothes they were wearing!

Xia Shao listened while driving, and then raised her eyebrows strangely.

As a surname

Why does this sound like a trick by a charlatan

Whether it is numerology, divination or Feng Shui, the purpose is to seek good luck and avoid evil. There are few numerologists or Feng Shui masters who have nothing to do to figure out what clothes people wear or what their last names are. Because this has no practical significance at all, and it cannot achieve the purpose of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, so what is it for

"He also said that I would lose money that day. I didn't believe it at the time. Later, when I went shopping with friends to eat, my wallet was stolen. It really meant that I would lose money!" Lian Keke said as if he had encountered a mysterious incident.

Xia Shao raised her eyebrows when she heard this. It sounded like something a master of fortune telling should do. But the previous ones sounded too much like the tricks of a charlatan. It seems that we should wait until we arrive.

The capital is the political center, and shops like fortune-telling parlors are not allowed to open. But as soon as Xia Shao drove the car to the door, he understood that the fortune-telling parlor was named after Zhou Yi.

When people name their children, they usually deduce the horoscopes, check the flaws of the five elements, and calculate the good and bad luck of the world, personality, and mathematics, and then find a good name. Hanging a fortune-telling parlor sign is naturally not allowed in the capital, but there are still shops with such names.

The place where the electricity is turned on is not remote. It is on a street with discotheques, bars, and specialty snacks. People come and go at night. There is a residential area not far away, and the flow of people is quite large.

It was dinner time when Xia Shao and others arrived. Although the door of the fortune-telling parlor was open, there was only a fortune-teller sitting inside.

The man was sitting behind the table with his back to the door. Looking from the door, he seemed a bit mysterious.

Xia Shao walked at the front. As soon as he entered, he glanced at the furnishings in the hall and saw that the hall was not too small. On the bookshelf were "The Book of Changes", "Golden Strategy", "Plum Blossom Divine Arithmetic", "Liu Yao Qi Gua", "Tibetan Sutra" and other books - although the books appear to be printed with old patterns, they look very ancient.

There are tortoise shells, copper coins and pen and ink on the table - although the tortoise shells and copper coins have no vitality and are not illegal weapons, they still look like that.

The pavilion is elegantly decorated, but the landscaping is haphazard and there is no Feng Shui layout.

Xia Shao knew it at a glance and sighed secretly.

At this moment, the man shouted, "Wait a minute! The lady coming in is wearing a white skirt and a pink top! Am I right?"

Liu Xianxian and others who followed behind were stunned when they heard this. Lian Keke looked excited and couldn't help but look at Xia Shao, as if to say, "How about it, are you sure?"

The man had his back turned to everyone and didn't look back at all. This was indeed accurate.

Xia Shao just smiled and said nothing. He walked in and said with a smile: "Master's calculations are really accurate. I heard that Master can calculate people's surnames?"

When the man heard this, he turned around and saw that he was a young man in his twenties. When Xia Shao saw this man, she frowned slightly. This man is quite thin, so thin that he can see his bones. His face also has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and this person has a pair of triangular eyes with three white spots, which indicates poverty, lowliness and evil.

No matter how you look at it, this person does not look like a master of numerology.

well! Charlatans are still the kind whose methods are very unscrupulous.

The man turned around and saw Xia Shao standing quietly across the table, obviously looking surprised, but then he glanced at the companion who came behind her, his eyes were obviously bright, but he immediately smiled, showing his big yellow teeth, "Miss, I want to count. Last name? Easy to handle!"

As the man spoke, he took out a stack of cards from his arms. There were about ten cards with hundreds of surnames written on them, with more than a dozen written on each card. Seeing this, Yuanze also walked over and took a look. His eyes fell on the table and saw that the table in front of the man was also covered with a piece of paper with surnames. It was also divided into about ten grids and filled with surnames.

Yuanze raised his eyebrows, smiled warmly, and looked at the paper and then the cards calmly.

Zhou Mingxu made a low sound and secretly tugged at the corner of Xia Shao's clothes.

Xia Shao smiled without revealing her expression.

The man handed the card to Xia Shao and said with a smile: "Miss, first look at the card with your last name on it, then choose it and give it to me."

Xia Shao lowered her eyes, covered up the light in her eyes, and reached out to take it. Yuanze also smiled meaningfully, and the two of them looked at each other, each realizing something. So Xia Shao picked one at random, and Yuanze also picked one at random.

Liu Xianxian just watched and did not take action, even though in high school, he knew that the things in Feng Shui and numerology were well-founded. But she still had little interest in these things. If she hadn't heard that this person was very accurate and might be able to help Xia Shao figure out whether she would be in trouble in the future, she wouldn't have come to this place.

But Miao Yan wanted to give it a try, but before she could reach out her hand, she was secretly stopped by Zhou Mingxu. Miao Yan was stunned, wondering what the problem was, and saw that Xia Shao and Yuan Ze had already handed the cards to the fortune teller.

The man smiled brightly and said, "Let's talk about it first, let's count it as a hundred."

one hundred? That's really good money.

Xia Shao didn't say anything and asked with a smile: "What next?"

"Choose your last name from these boxes, and I'll do the calculations for you," the man said.

Xia Shao smiled, searched cooperatively, and then pointed at one of the grids. Yuanze also pointed at a grid.

After seeing it, the man immediately closed his eyes, with a profound expression like a master, and began to count with his fingers. After a while, he calculated the result, looked at Xia Shao deeply, thought for a while, and then said: "Your... surname is Li."

Then he looked at Yuan Ze, "Your last name is... Tian!"

Yuan Ze smiled, and Xia Shao also laughed.

"Huh?" Lian Keke was the first to open his mouth in surprise.

Liu Xianxian raised his eyebrows strangely from behind. Miao Yan was also surprised, while Zhou Mingxu shook his head and smiled.

Seeing Lian Keke's surprise, the man immediately smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, hey, it was your fate that you met me. My ancestors were fortune tellers of the third generation, known as Half Fairies, they are very accurate!"

Liu Xianxian sneered, "Accurate? What's accurate? Her surname is Xia, his surname is Yuan! None of them are correct!" After saying that, he turned to look at Lian Keke, "Is this the master of Qizhun you mentioned? I think you are in trouble. Are you a liar?"

"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment, then stared at Xia Shao and Yuan Ze. Seeing their meaningful smiles, he knew that he had been cheated. Hearing Liu Xianxian's words at this time, he took advantage of the situation and became angry, "Miss, what you said is just a bad sign! People who live in the rivers and lakes have to pay for food, and they must be paid if they are not allowed. Ask your friends, I calculated it for her that day, was it accurate?"

"Yes, it's accurate..." Lian Keke couldn't figure it out, with a puzzled expression, "But, but why did the calculations go wrong today?"

"Fortune telling is all about fate. It seems that I have no fate with you. Then I won't say anything. Please come back." After the man finished speaking, he sat down with a determined look, but there was a hidden meaning in his eyes. Guang, "But let me tell you, even if I have no fate with you, I can still tell. You are going to lose money tonight. If you don't make it, you will see a bloody disaster! Be careful!"

The last four words seemed to be squeezed out from between the man's teeth.

Lian Keke was stunned for a moment, a little scared. That day this person said she was broke and she really lost her wallet. Are you talking about a bloody disaster tonight? It sounds like it's more serious than losing money...

Will it come true

"Who do you think has suffered a bloody disaster? Believe it or not, I will let you..." Liu Xianxian raised her eyebrows and took a step forward. As soon as she raised her foot, she was stopped by Xia Shao before she kicked the person's table.

"There are no rules. Master reminds us like this, and we should thank him for reminding us." Xia Shao smiled at Liu Xianxian, then turned to the man and nodded in greeting, "Thank you, master, for reminding us. I am grateful. If this comes true tonight, we I must come back to apologize to the master and offer him a reward."

"Okay, I'm hungry. Let's go eat quickly. There is a restaurant nearby. Let's go." Xia Shao smiled and seemed to pat Liu Xianxian lightly, but she felt a strong force slap her and push her away. Following her steps like the wind, she left the store.

Xia Shao walked at the end. Before walking out, she glanced at the man with a smile. Turn around and walk out of the fortune telling parlor.
