Chapter 330: Detailed explanation of the word "come", the atmosphere becomes cold
Under everyone's urging, I asked Murong to find a pen and paper. Then I wrote a big "Come" on the paper. Pointing at the "Come" word, I said:
"The art of fortune-telling is to find the original meaning of a word. You can type "what is the original meaning of lai" into your phone."
Everyone searched together and reported the results:
wheat.
wheat.
wheat.
"Yes, its original meaning is wheat. It has nothing to do with coming, going, past, future, etc. It just means wheat."
I wrote the oracle bone script for the character "来" on the paper and asked, "Does it look like this: the ear of corn is drooping, with many leaves beside it?"
Mr. Chen nodded, and Li Quande's eyes lit up: "Yes, it really looks like a bunch of wheat ears."
I said, "After several simplifications, this character still has something to do with wheat. It's '一+米', and it still has something to do with eating."
Mr. Chen asked, "The original meaning is 'wheat'. Wheat is a kind of food and is related to catering. Why can't we open a hotel here?"
"Okay, your question is very good. According to our field of fortune-telling, we need to analyze the word 'wheat' in its specific context.
Wheat sowing is divided according to region. In the northern region, spring wheat is usually sown between March and April after the Spring Festival and harvested between August and September.
Winter wheat is mainly grown in the south, usually sown in September or October each year and harvested in April or May of the following year.
Boten is in the south. Divining the character for "wheat." The timing is wrong. It should be harvest time, and we're just now arriving. How can we expect a harvest when we haven't even planted the seeds?
If we were to do this in the north, it would be perfectly fine, a combination of time, geography, and people. But we're in the south, which is against the will of nature. So I say, it's best not to come, or to come a little later."
The first to burst into laughter was Li Quande. It was a wild, unbridled laugh. To someone who had never experienced fortune-telling before, he thought my talk was nonsense.
However, his laughter quickly subsided.
He noticed that Mr. Chen, Murong, and Shao Youxiang didn't smile at all. They had seen how good I was at fortune-telling and thought my analysis was very rigorous and impeccable.
They had no idea that the word "lai" meant "wheat." Mr. Chen was even more confused. According to him, although "lai" was just a casual word, it didn't violate the "time of heaven."
The atmosphere was very cold for a moment, so cold that no one wanted to talk.
I said, "Lai means Mai. From a phonological point of view, the pronunciations are somewhat similar: Mai - Mie - Mei. Of course, you can treat this as a joke."
Murong was the first to object to this being a joke. He said, "Teacher Wan's analysis makes sense. Even national events have to be held on selected dates. I built this villa, and the local architect set the start date for September 9th. But when we asked the Chinese architect to check the date, he said it didn't work."
Li Quande asked: "Why not?"
Murong said, "I only noticed this after I met Teacher Wan. Nine is the largest yang number. Two of the largest yang numbers together is too much for a commoner like me to bear."
Mr. Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, that's also mentioned in the movie. They chose September 9th to go into the city, which was called 'going to Beijing to take the imperial examination.' They also chose a date."
Li Quande didn't understand what Mr. Chen said and wanted to ask. Murong said, "I'll tell you later."
Li Quande said to Mr. Chen, "If you believe it, you will get it. If you don't, you won't get it. Boss, this opportunity is fleeting. If you have the courage to come, I'll take care of the infrastructure."
I can promise that I will bring in funds to start construction. You can invest in shares or not. You just need to pay for the infrastructure later."
This matter became a bit awkward.
As my loyal fans, Murong Feng and Shao Youxiang absolutely believe in my statement, while Mr. Chen is wavering.
After all, he was an entrepreneur. He smiled and said, "Shanhong is also a family theory, worthy of attention. Okay, let's not dwell on this matter. I have one more day tomorrow. I will go to the construction site and visit the duty-free shop."
"Murong, Youxiang, Shanhong, don't accompany me. I'll take Secretary Ma for a walk. Let me take a look and think calmly, okay?"
Murong said, "That's fine. Boten is so small anyway. When the time comes, just send me the address and we can find a restaurant nearby and have dinner together."
I heard this, and Mr. Chen was dissatisfied with my calculations and explanations. He didn't even take me with him. This was the first time we had a disagreement.
I quickly stated, "I think this is a very good idea. You can make a decision after you've seen it. I didn't say it's absolutely impossible. You can come later."
Mr. Chen quickly changed the subject and said, "Shanhong, call Ningjing over and ask Youxiang to help her take a look at the jade bracelet."
I just remembered that I had forgotten about this. I walked out of the living room and called Ning Jing on the third floor. A moment later, she came to the tea room on the first floor.
Mr. Chen said to Shao Youxiang, "She bought a bracelet in Vietnam. Can you help her choose one?"
Shao Youxiang took the bracelet, pulled out his small three-color flashlight, and shone it on the bracelet. He then tapped it lightly on the coffee table and asked, "How much did you buy it for?"
"8000." Ning Jing replied.
Shao Youxiang smiled and said, "It's not a loss. It's worth the price."
After saying this, he suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "Did you buy this at a regular duty-free shop?"
Mr. Chen and I burst into laughter.
Shao Youxiang and others thought there was something fishy going on and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
After I finished telling the story, Ning Jing finally realized that a thrilling "black-killing scheme" had actually taken place. Fortunately, everyone in her hometown was in this business, so she was on guard and didn't suffer any loss.
The others didn't take it seriously and just laughed it off, because this kind of thing seemed very normal to them.
They chatted for a while that night before going to bed.
However, after I went to my room to wash up, Murong called and asked me to go to his bedroom on the second floor.
I went down to the second floor and the door was open. I pushed it open and saw Shao Youxiang there.
Do they have anything else to talk to me about?
