What does it mean to be alone in Taoyuan?

He went straight to the six-pointed star booth and found an old man with a saint-like style and a handsome face. "Sir, please give me a divination." "I don't know what I want to ask?" "I want to ask my brothers, I wonder if you can tell me?"

Mr. Wang looked up slightly and gave nine words: "Taoyuan has three meanings, and I am alone." ? "What do you mean?" People don't understand and want to ask. Mr. Wang smiled without a word. Ask again. Mr. Wang said, "I have already explained."

"I am a person. How can it be said that it is a three-knot righteousness? " "Sir, I know you are an only child. It's a pity that you are not as good at making friends as Third Sister Taoyuan. Life is too lonely, lonely, and there is no brother in the world, right? " "Oh, I forgot, I have another brother who was sent away when I was a child." "The two brothers? I know you have brothers. Taoyuan Sanjie was sworn in. It turns out that you have beaten three brothers, and there are only two left. "

"I'm actually three brothers." "Three brothers? That's right, Taoyuan Sanjieyi. It turns out that you hit three brothers, one, and one of the three brothers was inarticulate. " "Then there are my four brothers!"

"Four is more appropriate. Taoyuan Sanjieyi, it turns out that you hit three brothers, and another one came out over there and became four. " People laughed, paid the hexagrams and turned away.
