18. The Servant List
Liu Deshi thought of Gao Yue's instructions and fell down, and said against his conscience that this move would definitely be the first in the Ministry of Rites Examination next year.
Although it was impossible to verify immediately, the disciple's mood suddenly improved a lot. He gave Liu De's room fifty dollars, and then scolded Sang Daomaofan before leaving. He was so angry that Sang Daomao's beard blew up, even saying that it was unreasonable.
Soon, the "confrontation" between Sang Daomao and Liu De's room attracted the attention of the entire market and several surrounding buildings.
More than a dozen fortune tellers came in succession. Sang Daomao said that he should be careful when he went out, but Liu Deshi said that he was just doing nothing. Sang Daomao said that the seal hall was black, and Liu Deshi said that the auspicious clouds were brushing his face; Sang Daomao said that the passing years were unfavorable, and Liu Deshi said that the time came to operate.
As a result, Sang Daomao was so angry that he was trembling all over and his mind gradually lost his calmness.
Soon, a maid from a family came over anxiously, trying to tell whether the mistress who was about to give birth would be a man or a woman. Sang Daomao said it was a woman, and then the maid looked at Liu Deshi. Before he could tell him to make a calculation, Liu Deshi blurted out that he was a man.
Coincidentally, the news came soon after that, the woman was born to a boy.
Everyone was in an uproar, and Sang Daomao exclaimed bad luck in his heart, thinking that his reputation in the East City had been ruined by such an unknown guy, so he hurriedly put away the banner and walked to the west.
In fact, Gao Yue knew in his heart that "calling everything" was a trick of deceiving people. As long as Liu Deshi rebelled against Sang Daomao's conclusion, either black or white, or east or west, there would always be opportunities to gain enlightenment.
But...in fact...in fact...in case, the maid just now was actually Gao Yue who hired someone to pretend. Of course, the issue of having a boy or a girl was also fake. Sang Daomao was just guilty.
After the unlucky Sang Daomao slipped away, the "temporary calculator" Liu Deshi became famous throughout the East City. Then when people gathered, Liu Deshi followed Gao Yue's previous instructions and shouted, "I didn't come here because of selling skills, but actually to save people."
Now people are even more curious, and they are all talking about whose disaster this person wants to predict?
"It's a matter of the imperial examination." After saying that, Liu Deshi closed his mouth like a silence.
It was spread to ten thousand times. Soon, Mrs. Pan Yan, who was living in the house, knew that there was a master who defeated Sang Daomao, who stayed in Tiexing. When she heard the "death field" and "save people", she immediately had a rich association in her heart: her husband knew the tribute and was in charge of the country's picking of virtuous documents. It was the key link. Just two nights ago, someone secretly sent it with three hundred silk cloths in a bamboo tube. Although the husband retreated immediately, an unknown premonition still lingered in her heart.
So when he heard Liu Deshi's bluff, the restless Mrs. Pan called her servant and invited Liu Deshi to the house.
After receiving the invitation, Liu Deshi said in his heart, "The predictions of Xiao Sanqi and Yisong are really accurate, especially Yisong. Why do I think he is like a different person compared to before?"
In Pan Yan's house, Mrs. Pan sat behind the curtain and asked Liu De's room to sit opposite her.
Before Mrs. Pan could speak, Liu Deshi took out a piece of paper and wrote a word "Pan" that was missing and avoided.
"This..." Mrs. Pan became even more nervous.
Liu Deshi was hoarse and reminded her, "The list that Pan Lishi had previously set was Zhu Sui's son of the Jiedushi of Youzhou, Wang Biao was the son of the Jiedushi of Ziqing, and the army was the husband of Princess Fushou, and Yuan Tongzhi and others also had many suspicions. This list is an unscrupulous list of nobles, which has been greatly criticized by the world. In the next year, Pan Lishi continued to do his own things, and would definitely harm himself! If the emperor asked and asked for a trial, if there was a real mistake, then..."
This made Mrs. Pan's face change drastically. What she feared most on weekdays: it was like the 300 pieces of silk cloth that my husband had returned last night. Not only did he offend the gifts, but he would not believe in your innocence when it was reported. Instead, he believed that you would collect more tricks. As the saying goes, Zhizi suspected his neighbor, which has always been the case since ancient times.
"Sir, please give me advice."
"Did you see the 'Pan' I wrote?" Liu De's room began to test the words below.
Mrs. Pan nodded quickly and said she had seen it.
"Pan means water on the left and fen on the right."
Mrs. Pan expressed her understanding.
"Water means cold, and foreign means renewal - in fact, the surname Pan Li Shizun hidden secrets, meaning that in the spring exam next year, Pan Li Shizun will release the rankings, and those who are listed can be replaced by the lonely and cold people."
Mrs. Pan said this and asked, "If the nobleman's request is ignored, wouldn't he be jealous of the people on the road?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Liu Deshi didn't answer, and his smile gradually became presumptuous. In fact, he complained in his heart. He was just talking nonsense, so how could he really say that he was ugly, but Gao Yue reminded him, "If Pan Yan's wife asks you something, she will laugh wildly and leave without saying a word."
After laughing, Liu Deshi said goodbye and left, leaving only the confused Mrs. Pan. She wanted to ask her father what she thought about this, but her father has always been very strict with her family. In the eyes of her father, she was not allowed to interfere in the Ministry of Rites.
While hesitating, the messenger quietly came and told the mistress that there was a student from the back door, saying that he wanted to do the papers.
Mrs. Pan frowned. How could I take care of the matter of this work? But she thought about what Liu Deshi said just now, so she asked the messenger to go out again and ask in detail about the situation of the person who came to the work.
As a result, the messenger came back again and said that the student who was in the book was covered with patches and was very shabby (Gao Yue turned out his old clothes and put them on). He reported that his family was "the third year of high school in the Weizhou District of the Bohai Gao Family", but in fact, there was no one in the court and there was no help from the top and the bottom.
"Is this senior year of high school the senior year that my husband and father once said? In this way, he can be considered a lonely scholar." Mrs. Pan then had a rich association: Just now, she said that the husband's ranking this year would be better for the poor scholars, but he didn't say that he would take all the poor scholars, and it would be better to take one.
And the signs are all about this tai student’s senior high school student?
After thinking about it, Mrs. Pan finally asked the envoy to invite Gao Yueyan in.
Little did they know that this was the beginning of Pan Yan's "backyard fire".
At night, Pan Yan returned from the Ministry of Rites, and Mrs. Pan pestered him to ask about the spring exam next year. Pan Yan privately said to his wife: Somehow, the list of the spring exam next year is often extremely concerned, and your father has come to inquire again and again, and even the emperor sent the nobles to inquire several times.
This made Mrs. Pan feel more convinced of Liu Deshi's words, and then advised her husband to "the officialdom is in a turbulent manner, so you should avoid your position as soon as possible."
