Chapter 425
Jin Chaochao smiled and said cheerfully, "Sir, do you want to buy it? It's very cheap, only 90 yuan."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then left with his hands behind his back, shaking his head.
Fu Tingyuan frowned, "How about we open the painting?"
"It's meaningless if you open it. The destined person will buy it regardless of whether you open it or not."
The stalls continued to be set up, and it was getting dark.
For the entire day, only one man stopped in front of the stall for a few minutes and spoke a few words.
Of course, there are more people on the pedestrian street in the evening.
Just when Fu Tingyuan felt that he would definitely not be able to sell any of his products today, a fair-skinned young man with a briefcase in his hand passed by, glanced at the stall, and then stopped.
He walked up to Jin Chaochao and asked curiously, "90 yuan per painting. You have so many paintings. What did you paint?"
"A picture of a child, a picture of a talented man, a picture of wealth, a picture of fortune and luck, a picture of health, a picture of a happy marriage, a picture of a house full of children and grandchildren, a picture of a peaceful and prosperous country, it depends on which one you need." Jin Chaochao replied.
The young man laughed and said, "These pictures of yours have meanings!"
He was polite and did not reach out to touch the painting.
Jin Chaochao explained: "The name of the picture refers to its meaning. For example, this picture of sending a child can be used to pray for a child. This picture of a talented person is suitable for children to worship, and it can ensure that the child has a bright future and is talented. This picture of health is suitable for patients, and it means health and peace."
The man thought for a moment and took out two hundred yuan from his bag, "Give me two paintings, one of good fortune and prosperity, and one of a large family with many children and grandchildren."
Jin Chaochao selected two paintings from the nine paintings and handed them to the young man.
He took the paintings with both hands, only to feel the two pictures suddenly become heavy, pressing down on his heart.
Jin Chaochao smiled and took back his hand, "Since you have bought it, you must bear its weight. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your decision."
Jin Chaochao took out twenty yuan from her pocket, handed it to the man, and reminded him, "Open it after you get home. If it feels heavy, you can sell these two paintings."
The man held the painting and felt a little regretful.
He just wanted to buy it for some unknown reason, not realizing that these two hundred dollars were the only money he had.
Now holding the heavy painting, he was too embarrassed to say goodbye.
He remembered what Jin Chaochao said to him, but he didn't understand it.
He left with the painting.
Jin Chaochao and Fu Tingyuan were busy putting away the other paintings.
Return home in the evening.
Fu Tingyuan and Jin Chaochao drank a glass.
"I was lucky today. I sold two paintings." Jin Chaochao was very happy.
Fu Tingyuan smiled and said, "It looks like you'll have to go out and sell paintings for the next period of time."
"That's fine, just think of it as me going out shopping." Jin Chaochao said.
Si Mingye and Mu Chuan looked over and said, "Sister, is it fun to sell paintings? Take us with you!"
"Of course it's fun. Since you two asked, I'll take you along."
The next day, Jin Chaochao took Si Mingye and Mu Chuan to sell paintings.
This time they randomly chose a street with shade from trees.
There were also a few Taoist priests and monks setting up stalls nearby.
When Jin Chaochao and the children appeared, several monks and Taoists stared at her.
"Miss, would you like your fortune told? I see that you are destined to be rich and your family must be very well-off. Unfortunately, you have a disaster in your life. I can help you resolve it." The old monk had a bald head and a fat belly and could hardly walk.
Jin Chaochao's stall was right next to his.
Hearing this, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence, old man, I am also a fortune teller. Do you want to tell fortunes? How about I tell you one?"
"Ah!" The old monk was stunned for a moment, staring at Jin Chaochao with a pair of sharp eyes, "Little girl, if you don't want to settle it, forget it, why are you teasing me?"
"I'm serious!" Jin Chaochao glanced at the monk and said, "I calculated that you will be ill in the next three days. I advise you to go to the hospital later."
"TUI, little girl, you are so poisonous at such a young age. I calculated that you would be in bloody disaster today. If you don't come to me to resolve it, you will definitely be bleeding and your life may very likely be in danger." The old monk was very angry.
Jin Chaochao spread out his hands and said indifferently: "My fate is determined by myself, it's just a bloody disaster, why should I be afraid?"
The old monk was speechless for a moment, and was so angry that he saw stars. "What a rude girl! Fate is determined by heaven. How can you go against fate?"
Jin Chaochao unfolded the lazy chair she brought with her, then sat down and said with a smile: "The more you calculate your fate, the worse it becomes. People who are bound by the fate that others talk about are the most foolish people."
"Nonsense! What do you, a little girl, know? You have no idea how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is." The old monk was very angry. He packed up his stall, stood up and walked away from Jin Chaochao.
Si Mingye sat beside Jin Chaochao with a confused look on his face.
"Sister, you are a fortune teller yourself, and you said that the more you calculate your fortune, the worse it gets... This is too hypocritical!"
Jin Chaochao looked at Si Mingye and said, "It is cause and effect that binds fate. As long as people are enlightened and awaken, they will know what kind of cause will create what kind of result. If you change the cause, you can change the result. Fate will naturally change. Ordinary people should not believe in fate, change the cause that leads to bad results, and achieve good results. That's why I say that my fate is determined by myself. As for my fortune-telling, it's because I know the will of heaven and can clearly deduce the future of others. Only people with true Taoism can have this ability."
Mu Chuan was puzzled, "What kind of person is considered a person of Taoism?"
"It's someone who can see the merits and sins of other people," said Jin Chaochao.
Mu Chuan blinked his eyes, "So what kind of person do you think I am, sister?"
Jin Chaochao touched his head and said with a smile: "You, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Mu Chuan suddenly felt very uncomfortable, "Ah! Tell me, I won't tell anyone else."
Jin Chaochao raised her hand and tapped his forehead. "As long as you study hard with me, your future will definitely be good. If you continue to mess around like before, it's hard to say what the result will be."
Mu Chuan is very smart and reacted immediately, "I understand! This is what you said about fate being changeable. First of all, we must have a correct goal, then even if the result is very bad, it will not deviate from the bad trajectory of fate. If our goal is wrong from the beginning, then the result we get will definitely be the worst trajectory of fate."
Jin Chaochao's eyes were bright, "That's right. If there are two roads in life, one road goes up and leads to heaven. But the climb is very slow and painful. But once you climb up, you will reach heaven. The other road leads to hell. It is downhill and the road is easy to walk. There will even be many temptations and short-term happiness along the way. You can even reach it without any effort. But after reaching the abyss, it will be even more difficult to climb up. So the goal of life must be chosen correctly from the beginning. Otherwise, there will be many detours and more setbacks and difficulties. People may even lose their fighting spirit in the face of these difficulties and never climb out again."
