Is the fortune-telling of fishing boat life accurate?

A few strange things that surprised the fortune teller.

Pei Du, a famous figure in the Tang Dynasty, was penniless when he was young, and lived only by teaching in a private school in the countryside. Although he is very knowledgeable, he has no choice but to be unlucky and try again and again. One day in 789, 25-year-old Pei Du walked into the street, passed a Taoist temple and saw a Taoist priest looking at people's faces. He waited until everyone had left before inviting the Taoist priest to see him. The Taoist priest is familiar with the door and said, "With all due respect, you were born with a humble appearance. Not only is there no hope of fame in my life, but my eyes are floating outside and my entrance is vertical. It's a street begging for food, starving to death! I don't think you should take the fame test! Pei Du was very sad to hear that. He was so depressed all day that he was listless in teaching.

A few days later, Pei Du went for a stroll in the Taoist temple and saw a woman kneeling in front of the statue, mumbling the sutra, and then hurried away after praying. Pei Du saw a parcel on the table and opened it. This is a very valuable item, a jade belt and two rhinoceros belts. He thought it must belong to the woman just now, so he sat waiting for the owner.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the woman, sweating and panting, hurried in, glanced at her desk and burst into tears.

When Pei Du came forward to ask her, the woman cried and said, "My father is seriously ill and his family business is in danger. I invited a famous doctor yesterday, and I got a little better. So this morning, I rushed to my relatives' house, borrowed a jade belt, and prepared the mortgage loan medical expenses. I passed this Taoist temple to pray, but I was in a hurry and forgot to bring my jade belt. When I arrived at the pawnshop, I found that the jade belt was lost. I have no money, my father can't live, and I have a mother and siblings to support. I don't know what to do! Say that finish, and burst into tears.

Pei Du offered relief, and the woman thanked her and left.

On the way home, Pei Du met the Taoist priest again. Just a few steps away, the Taoist called Pei Du back and said to him, "You must have done a great thing. I saw your face. The entrance of the snake has become a jade belt pattern. Not only will you not starve to death, there will be countless blessings in the future, and you may even be in the picture! Pei Du was afraid that the Taoist priest was satirizing him, so he replied, "You are kidding! Why is the master's speech inconsistent? The Taoist replied, "A seven-foot body is not as good as a foot face, a foot face is not as good as a three-inch nose, and a three-inch nose is not as good as a little heart! Pei Du smiled and said, "What does it feel like? The Taoist priest replied, "If you want to know the meaning of heaven, you must take it from the clouds, know what is in it, and distinguish the God in your eyes. You have accumulated a virtue, your eyes are not floating, your eyes are purple, your mouth line is longer than a pit, and your beard is even and beautiful. If you do the evil deed, your face will change, and you will certainly enjoy extremely expensive wealth! So Pei Du told the Taoist that he had just found the jade belt in the Taoist temple, and the Taoist priest also praised his kindness.

That year, Pei Du was admitted to Jinshi. Because of his prosperous career, more than ten years later, he was promoted to "Bo Boda Bachelor", and soon, he was promoted to Prime Minister.

The process of his promotion to the post of Prime Minister was very tortuous: at first, Pei Du was sent to Cai Zhou on the orders of the imperial court to issue letters to various armies. After returning to the imperial court, he wrote to the imperial court, demanding that the rebels be attacked and captured alive. Wang Chengzong and Li Shidao conspired against Cai Zhou's reinforcements, so they secretly lurked in the capital, stabbed the powerful minister and killed the Prime Minister Wu. They attacked Pei Du with their swords three times. The first sword cut the shoelaces. The second sword stabbed Pei Du in the back, but only cut his underwear. The third sword slightly stabbed Pei Du's head. It happened that he was wearing a felt hat, so the sword wound was not deep. When the traitor came after Pei Du, Pei Du's entourage, Wang Yi, caught the traitor and let out a cry. The traitor turned and cut off Wang Yi's hand with a knife, and Pei Du was able to escape. Because Pei Du escaped in a hurry, he accidentally fell into a ravine. The traitor thought Pei Du was dead and left.

The emperor said, "This is the will of God, and Pei Ducan was able to escape! So Pei Du was appointed as "Huaixi Ambassador". Pacify the civil strife in Huaixi, and seal him as "Duke Jin". He is often ordered to send envoys to border countries. The King of Siyi will definitely ask about Pei Du's age and appearance, which shows how much Chinese and Yi people respect and admire him! Pei Du served the four emperors and always showed good moral character. He has five sons, all of whom were knighted by the court.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a Huang Yongjue on Chongming Island in Jiangsu Province. At the beginning, the master concluded that he had no children all his life and could only live to be 60 years old.

Once, a ship from Nanyang was caught in a storm at sea, and the whole ship was about to collapse. Huang Yongjiao met him on the shore, and quickly took out twelve taels of silver and hired a fishing boat to rescue him. A total of 13 people were saved.

Later, he met the fortuneteller again. The fortuneteller was surprised and said, "You have black lines all over your face, and you must have accumulated a lot of virtue. In the future, you will not only have a son, but also be admitted to the top scholar, and you yourself will live a long life. After that, I gave birth to a son named Zhenfeng. In 2008, I was the top scholar in Kangxi, and I didn't die until I was in my nineties.
