Chapter 282 What is "Boy's Life"
Back in Shangzhou, Lu Yu called: "Brother Shanhong, are you done with everything?"
"Thank you for your concern, Sister Yu. Everything has been taken care of."
"If you don't go traveling, come stay at my farm for a few days during the holidays."
I laughed out loud. "That's exactly what I was thinking. A friend came over and stayed at the hotel. Every night someone came to see him. I was just looking for a quiet place to chat when you called."
She said, "Look, I know you better than anyone else. So I'll sweep the yard and wait for you. Stay at least one night."
"Come over tomorrow morning. Don't call anyone else, but you can call Brother Shuichun."
"Having more people won't affect you. They're all fishing guests. I'll also arrange meals separately. I have several teahouses. We can sit in the best one and chat."
Once it was confirmed, I called Nanxi and asked Shiyu to take him to the hotel tomorrow morning and bring a change of clothes. I would take him to a secluded paradise for two days.
The next morning, Xiaolin and I picked up Nanxi and drove to Sister Yu's house. Just as we were leaving the city, I got a call from Brother Shuichun, saying he was almost there and asking me where I was.
"We've left the city and are on the national highway."
"That's only more than ten kilometers."
"I know, 15.2 kilometers. I checked the meter last time."
"Haha, Master, be careful everywhere."
We arrived at the garden villa. Sister Yu and Yu Shuichun were waiting on the ground floor. After we got out of the car, I introduced Chang Nanxi to them.
Sister Yu smiled and said, "Brother, you often surprise me. You even bring a master with you for leisure time."
Yu Shuichun said: "A master's friend is a master, so if you want to meet more masters, just call Shanhong every now and then."
Sister Yu held Xiaolin's hand and said, "I want to fight every day, but I'm afraid my sister won't agree."
Xiao Lin smiled and said, "He needs to learn more from you. Look at you, you built such a large manor and are so capable. It's worth us coming to learn from you often."
Sister Yu said to Chang Lanxi, "Master, I'm an old show host. Please take a look at my farm first."
Under her guidance, we visited the flower and tree base. Some of the chrysanthemums, morning glories, hibiscus, osmanthus, and hibiscus flowers were in full bloom, while others still had flowers hanging from their branches.
Nanxi was not one to mince words and said to Sister Yu, "There aren't enough golden osmanthus flowers. You could plant more of this morning glory. Its seeds are called morning glory seeds, which are bitter, cold and poisonous. Intercropping can reduce insect pests.
It is also a traditional Chinese medicine. When used with agarwood, it can help relieve constipation and promote bowel movements. When used with fennel, it can treat edema, abdominal distension, and swelling of the limbs caused by yang deficiency.
I added, "But there is a warning: those with weak constitutions, pregnant women, and breastfeeding women should not use this."
Sister Yu clapped her hands and said, "Other people look at flowers in the fog, but the two masters look at flowers in the fog, and they see the knowledge in the flowers."
Nanxi said nothing, pointing at the Epiphyllum, "It's fine to grow this flower outdoors, but we should plant more of it indoors. It increases the negative ion content. Even though it blooms only for a few hours, it contributes a lot of energy."
Sister Yu nodded repeatedly. She sighed, "Since you've come, I even know where to put the flowers. How wonderful."
As for the fish pond, Nanxi wasn't interested, so Sister Yu led us back.
Arriving in front of the villa, Nanxi said, "Boss Lu, you should still hang a plaque. Such a large farm needs a name. As the saying goes, famous flowers have owners. These flowers and plants need an owner."
"Both masters are here. It's better to meet by chance than by chance."
Nanxi pondered for a moment and said, "It's called Jinyuan. It means a cluster of flowers. It means a colorful and prosperous scene."
Sister Yu said: "It's very good."
Sister Yu led us to the third floor, where there was indeed a very elegant tea room where we could dine outside and drink tea inside.
Everyone sat down, and Sister Yu personally made tea. They chatted for a while before Sister Yu suggested asking Nanxi to tell their fortunes.
Nanxi did not refuse, and Sister Yu told her the birth date. As soon as they heard her date of birth, they knew that Sister Yu was calculating for someone else.
Nanxi twirled her fingers, suddenly smiled, and said, "Boss Lu, you're testing me."
I quickly thought about it in my mind and understood why Nanxi said this.
Because the eight characters Sister Yu gave Nanxi indicated that the person was already dead, this was considered a challenge to fortune tellers in the physiognomy world. Using this eight characters was a way to test the fortune teller's skills.
I guess Sister Yu is definitely not trying to challenge herself, but she just doesn't understand the rules of the industry.
Nanxi said to Sister Yu calmly, "It's a boy's fate."
Except for me, no one else knew what "Tongzi Ming" meant. Nanxi meant that he didn't tell fortunes for the dead.
Seeing everyone's confused faces, I explained, "The 'boy fate' Nanxi mentioned generally refers to those who achieve success at a young age, have smooth sailing, and are untainted by worldly affairs. Their aspirations are as high as the sky, but their lives are as fragile as paper. For example, Zhang Mourong, Mei Moufang, and Deng Moujun all have 'boy fates'."
Lu Yu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
I said to Lu Yu, "Masters are generally not considered to have a 'boy's fate.'"
Lu Yu hurriedly apologized to Nanxi: "Master, I really don't understand the rules. It's just that I miss my pure and innocent cousin so much. I want to calculate whether she can really escape the calamity."
Although Xiaolin was with me every day, she showed little interest in my affairs. She nudged me with her arm and said, "Why can't you escape your fate?"
I explained, “The so-called boy fate is said to be the servants of the gods in heaven. Occasionally, they make mistakes and are expelled from heaven by the gods and demoted to the human world.
But such people have never experienced setbacks, are detached from worldly affairs, and maintain a clean and self-disciplined character. Once provoked, they go to extremes and often die young, renounce worldly affairs.”
Lu Yu said: "Sometimes, I feel so insignificant. My cousin is beautiful and well-behaved, but somehow she becomes world-weary. I've done a lot of work on her, but I still can't keep her."
Nanxi said: "Wanting to live, living tenaciously, is a kind of belief. Not wanting to live, especially hating life, is also a kind of belief. Therefore, there is no distinction between happy and unhappy people. It is just that different beliefs support every life."
Everyone thought what he said made a lot of sense.
Next, Lu Yu and Yu Shuichun asked Nanxi to tell their fortune.
When it comes to fortune-telling, most people don't like others to watch, so Sister Yu and Nanxi also stood up and went to another room.
Yu Shuichun said to me, "Master Chang is truly amazing. He can tell a child's fate after just one turn."
I said, “It really takes effort.”
About half an hour later, Sister Yu came out and was replaced by Yu Shuichun.
"How about it?"
“Quite impressive.”
"Compared to that Mr. Dong?"
"Each has its own strengths. However, Master Chang explains the first part in great detail, while the second part is basically the general direction."
I nodded, but didn't say anything more. I thought to myself, Nanxi looks simple and honest, but he's actually quite shrewd. His initial predictions are accurate, making you admire his skills. Then, he reveals everything, whether good or bad, which impacts people's mindsets.
About half an hour later, Yu Shuichun and Nanxi came over together.
I couldn't ask in front of Nanxi. Everyone smiled, and then Sister Yu asked Nanxi to stand up and help her check the feng shui of the house.
After the two left, Yu Shuichun sighed, "He's truly half-god. When we met, he told me I'd married a beautiful wife; when he looked at my palm, he knew I'd have a son first; when he touched my hands, he knew I'd marry late. All this was before I even reported my birth date."
I said, "His family has been fortune-telling for ten generations." As I spoke, I tapped my two index fingers.
"Judai?" He was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
I said, "Physiognomy is the summation of countless experiences. Generation after generation has accumulated this knowledge and categorized people into different types."
Yu Shuichun said, "Wait a minute, I want to ask him to help take a look at my nephew's girlfriend."
"What are you looking at?"
"My nephew said his girlfriend is pretty, but I think she's too old-fashioned and not worthy of my nephew. My nephew is the handsome one."
At this time, Sister Yu and Nanxi came in.
Yu Shuichun opened his phone, pointed at a photo and asked, "Master Chang, do you think this girl is pretty?"
Nanxi took the phone, looked at it, and said, "Let's talk after dinner."
"Hey, whether you say she is beautiful or not is based on your first impression."
Nanxi smiled and said, "It's hard to explain right away. I'll tell you about the beauty of bones this afternoon, and then you'll understand."
At this time, Aixia came up and started to set the table.
