Chapter 185 He must suppress the second room
"How is it?" Old Man Cen asked hurriedly when he saw his face change.
“Well, well…” Yu Banxian hesitated, as if he found it difficult to speak.
"Banxian, you must tell me what happened!" Old Man Cen grabbed Yu Banxian's hand. Because he was too nervous, his palm kept tightening, causing Yu Banxian to grit his teeth and gasp in pain.
"Old sir, you and I get along very well. Even if I risk being punished by heaven, I must tell you that, as the saying goes, everything requires a balance. This hexagram says that if the second branch becomes successful, I'm afraid your entire Cen family will be buried with it..." Yu Banxian said solemnly, and as he spoke, he did not forget to take another look at the second branch.
"What? Buried with him!" Old Man Cen was frightened by his words. He immediately grabbed Yu Banxian's hand and kept tightening it.
Yu Banxian's face twitched slightly in pain.
But he has to endure it!
“It’s not what it means literally as burial companions. The general meaning is that in order to maintain the balance between your old Cen family and the second branch, if the second branch prospers, the other branches of the old Cen family will surely decline, not prosper.” Yu Banxian said.
"You are talking nonsense!" At this time, Cen Yan suddenly refuted him.
Yu Banxian just announced the result of his second divination, and did not deliberately avoid everyone.
So, Cen Yan heard it immediately.
She was full of surprise just now, but when she heard these words, she knew something was definitely not right, and she immediately opened her mouth to stop him.
But how could Yu Banxian listen to her?
He immediately frowned and said, "How can you, a young lady, accuse me like this? Tell me, what did I say wrong?"
"Grandpa, don't listen to what this guy says. What he said about our second branch prospering and the old Cen family declining is all untrue. How could our second branch have the chance to prosper? My father only knows how to farm, but I've never heard of anyone who could become prosperous just by farming for his family!" Cen Yan said angrily.
"How could there not be? Those stories about princes who were exiled to the common people, even if they became farmers, as long as their background was discovered, wouldn't they immediately turn their fortunes around and become rich overnight?" Yu Banxian also refuted her.
"This is just a story! There's no real such thing!" Cen Yan was at a loss for words because of what he said. She was so angry that her face turned red.
"How is it not possible? As the saying goes, there is something real and something unreal. How do you know that the so-called unreal is not real?" Yu Banxian said in a mysterious way.
"This is not right..." Cen Yan wanted to argue further.
"That's enough!" However, Old Man Cen scolded her, "You are just a young lady. Why don't you stay in the house and take good care of your mother? What are you talking about here? Go back to your house!"
"Grandpa!" Cen Yan was reluctant to go back to the house.
"Go back!" Old Man Cen glared at her.
Seeing this, Cen Yan had no choice but to go back to the second room.
Before entering the house, she glared at Yu Banxian with hatred and threatened angrily, "How dare you make up stories about our second room like this...just wait for me!"
She spoke the second half of the sentence with a particularly strong tone.
Yu Banxian blinked and tried to exchange glances with Cen Yan. Seeing that Cen Yan's expression suddenly became meaningful, he knew what he meant and understood it.
Cen Yan returned to the house.
"Half-immortal, please give me some advice, how can I solve this problem?" As soon as Cen Yan left, Old Man Cen immediately asked Half-immortal Yu for advice.
"Crack? What is this crack? To put it bluntly, as the saying goes, if one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family, if the second branch becomes prosperous, then even if the other branches of your Cen family are not doing well, so what? They are all brothers. I believe that the second branch will be just like the other branches and will not be affected in any way." Yu Banxian looked at Old Man Cen with some confusion.
When Old Man Cen heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart.
The second house has never been treated well. If it really becomes rich, and the first and third houses ask for help, how could Cen Yan, with his vengeful personality, treat the first house well?
The most important thing is that the second room is not important at all!
He wanted the first and third wives to prosper, but as for the second wife...
He must suppress the Second House, trample it into the dust, sink it into the mud, and never be able to escape from it for the rest of his life!
He wanted him to see the second house prosper with his own eyes...
That would mean his death!
“What the Immortal doesn’t know is that the second son has a cruel temper, and his daughter is not an easy person to deal with either. From what she said just now to threaten the Immortal, you should know that if the second branch becomes prosperous, it will not be a good thing for the country and the people. Alas, I am a scholar after all, and I cannot bear to see the common people suffer… Therefore, I must suppress my selfishness and must decipher this hexagram. The second branch, it would be best for you to be an ordinary citizen all your life.” Old Man Cen said with embarrassment.
When Yu Banxian heard this, he was filled with contempt.
hypocritical!
This old scholar has really learned all the hypocrisy from those scholars!
What for the common people?
Just him?
Is he worthy?
He also said that he had to suppress his selfishness...
Is it because you are selfish and can't stand seeing the second wife doing well?
His second son was so unlucky that he was born into his family!
"What the old gentleman said is absolutely right. Your selfless character really makes me ashamed!"
Although he was disdainful, Yu Banxian didn't show it on his face. He quickly said seriously, "Of course there is a way to crack this. I saw from the hexagram that if the second branch wants to prosper, it has to rely on the old Cen family."
"What Banxian means is..." Old Man Cen's eyes lit up, as if he had something in mind, but he still had to get a definite answer from Yu Banxian.
“The foundation of the second branch is in your Cen family. As long as this foundation is uprooted and the connection with the auspicious energy is severed, the second branch will naturally not be able to prosper.” Yu Banxian pointed it out, but still did not explain it thoroughly.
But just these were enough for Old Man Cen to understand.
"I understand." He nodded with a look of sudden realization, his eyes filled with deep thought and calculation.
"Then whether to cut off the relationship or not depends on you, old gentleman." Yu Banxian said.
It’s getting late.
Yu Banxian’s purpose of coming to Lao Cen’s house today has been achieved.
However, Yu only understood half of the conversation between Yu Banxian and Old Man Cen.
I felt like Yu Banxian had gotten the job done, but I wasn't quite sure.
Just at this time, Gao had finally cooked two bowls of sago porridge over low heat. She was planning to come out to take care of Cen Ying and serve a bowl to Cen Fang later.
Beside her, Cen Shuang had a look of urgency on her face and kept urging her.
"Don't worry. I know that Yu Banxian will never really say anything good about the second branch!" Gao said calmly and confidently.
