Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 59
Seeing that she could not make up her mind, Wen Tai simply called the shots and said, "Go ahead and buy it. It's the first day of the new year. It's just a good time to try your luck."

For the people of Tokyo, Guan Pu is not only a fun activity, but it also has the meaning of testing luck. After all, buying this thing really depends on luck.

If you can win several times in a row, it means that your luck may be better this year, so people have more expectations for life in the New Year, and if you lose repeatedly, you will not only lose money, but also your expectations for the coming year .

Therefore, it is really a test of the player's psychological endurance to buy this thing.

At this moment, Wen Shu's hesitation also has this concern. In ten days or so, she will accompany Miss Lu to Cangzhou. I also want to try it, in case it is a good sign.

Wen Shu nodded, took five copper coins from the stall owner, put his palms together, and said to himself, I must win, I must win.

The copper coin can be tossed three times in total, as long as one of the three times is correct, the player wins. Wen Shu shook it violently a few times, then opened his palm, and dropped the copper coin on the wooden board specially set up by the stall owner.
Three positives and two negatives!
Her heart faltered, and she threw it again.

Four Pros and One Cons!
When Wen Shu picked up the copper coin for the third time, her heart was already beating a little faster. She took a deep breath, and the hand holding the copper coin did not move for a long time, and the stall owner did not rush, anyway, there was no one else in front of the stall. .

"Toss it, the loser will be the father." Seeing that she was a little stage frightened, Wen Tai smiled beside her.

How could Wen Shu ask for his money, but these words also reminded her that good or bad luck cannot be changed by holding it in the palm of your hand. As the saying goes, stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, it's better to have fun.

As soon as the idea came to light, he was about to throw the copper coins in his hand. Amidst the sound of clattering, the three copper coins lay upright, and the remaining two copper coins were twirling around on the wooden board. Before the moment of falling down, No one knows right and wrong.

Wen Shu's heart instantly rose to his throat.

The steel plate rotated a few more times, and then fell onto the wooden board with a thud in a gust of cold wind.

Five positive!

Won!

Wen Shu was so happy that she almost jumped up. Although the stall owner didn't look very good-looking, he still abided by the rules and handed her the deposit and the gilded silver butterfly hairpin.

The first time she rushed to buy, she got off to a good start. Wen Shu smiled happily and narrowed her eyes. To her, this was not only a hairpin for nothing, but also meant that her luck would be very good for the next year.

In order to ensure that this mood would not be destroyed, she did not participate in the subsequent shopping. Instead, Wen Tai went to the foot shop that sells wine to play a few games. In the end, there were winners and losers. The bet of seventy or eighty Wen was gone.

In the blink of an eye, it was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the activities of Guanpu were about to come to an end, but the shops and stalls along the street became more and more lively, because there were many lucky people who wanted to seize this last chance.

The only things that remain the same are probably the medical clinics that save lives and the wounded, and some shops in the funeral industry, such as her home.

Of course, the law does not expressly stipulate that coffin shops cannot participate in rush buying, but out of morality and customs, they cannot participate. Before the Chinese New Year, other shops posted peach charms saying "Business is booming", but hers did not. It must not be pasted, otherwise the spine will be poked off.

Wen Shu ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles at the stall opposite the Li Family Medical Center, and while eating slowly, looked at the people entering and leaving the medical hall.

During the New Year's Eve, there were not many people going to the clinic. If it wasn't for a sudden illness, normally few people would be willing to go to the clinic during the New Year's Eve. For some illnesses that required long-term medication, the medicines had already been taken years ago.

Wen Shu squatted for nearly an hour before seeing two patients going in and out of the hospital, and judging from their expressions, she knew that they were not suffering from jaundice.

Under the frequent gazes of the stall owner, she paid the bill in embarrassment, and then squatted in another place for another hour.

Two hours passed, five people came in and out of the hospital, but none of the patients with jaundice was waiting. Wen Shu went home frustrated, made a simple lunch, ate it hastily, and then transferred to the hospital again. Wushu Temple.

Wushu Temple is a small temple, with only one main hall and two side halls. Therefore, the incense in the temple is not very prosperous. There is only one Buddha statue in the main hall, and only a plainly dressed woman is worshiping inside.

Wen Shu quietly approached and listened, but she was a beggar. She reluctantly withdrew from the hall and waited outside the door for nearly two hours.

During these two hours, only three pilgrims came. One prayed for his son's high school, one prayed for a good marriage, and the other prayed for gods and Buddhas to exorcise ghosts, saying that he always had nightmares.

Wen Shu glanced at the compassionate and smiling Buddha statue above, and secretly sympathized in his heart. The Buddha is really busy enough to take care of everything.

The next day, it was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was time to go to Liyuan to learn martial arts. Originally, the third day of junior high school was supposed to go, but on the afternoon of the second day of junior high school, Lu Xi sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Master Liu had not returned to his hometown for the New Year. Let her go one day later.

After Wen Shu had breakfast, he changed into his usual gray and plain exercise shirt. When he arrived at the appointed place, Lu Xi was already waiting there.

Seeing her coming, he first greeted her with a smile, and then took out a small sachet from his sleeve: "Young master entrusted me to hand it over, saying that it is the lucky money for the little lady."

The New Year's money, Wen Shu's face is inexplicable, Mr. Lu gave her the New Year's money?
Isn't it only the elders who give lucky money to the younger generation?

Mr. Lu is not her elder, so is this also the rule of the Hou Mansion?

Before she could ask her doubts, Lu Xi had already stuffed the sachet into her hand, then jumped onto the wheel and said, "It's getting late, little lady, hurry up and get in the car."

After regaining her senses, Wen Shu quickly climbed into the carriage. After entering the carriage, she secretly opened the sachet. She didn't know how much New Year's money Mr. Lu would give her. Look at this light weight, could it be Jiaozi?She secretly had some expectations in her heart.

Unexpectedly, when the sachet was opened, there was indeed a piece of paper inside, but it was not Jiaozi, but a piece of white paper with words written on it, and the content on it made Wen Shu puzzled.

At this time, Lu Xi who was outside asked her how her year was going, and was there anything interesting?
After spending so much time together, she and Lu Xi got closer and chatted a little when they had nothing to do, and immediately told him some interesting stories from the streets.

When we arrived at Liyuan, Master Liu was still waiting there in full attire, with a pot of tea in front of the table. Wen Shu smiled and called Master, and handed him the New Year gift he brought, which was nothing. It's strange, it's the same thing as going to Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings, two kinds of dried fruit, a pot of wine, and the flower buns she made herself.

Master Liu was a little surprised when he saw the things. Logically speaking, he was not Wen Shu's serious master, but he was entrusted by Lu Shaoqing to teach her temporarily. She didn't need to treat each other with courtesy.

But this little lady managed to treat each other with courtesy, which made Master Liu more satisfied with Wenshu. He only thought that this child was filial. , Pass this martial art down.
