What festivals do ethnic minorities have? The fortune teller clearly counted four prime ministers. Why did he starve to death in the street?

If you don't talk, you deserve to starve to death.

Whenever a person with a good face tells others about his face, what he says is implicit, half bright and half dark, and never tells the other party all the results. This practice is called "don't reveal secrets" in divination and divination, otherwise it will be punished. Of course, except for those liars,

However, there are exceptions to everything. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a man with a bright face. Because his fortune-teller told people the truth, he starved to death.

Here's the thing.

One day, shortly after Zhang Kao-zhong was a scholar, he and Kou Zhun went to Suoguo Temple to play. As they walked, they looked around and wandered around. They came to a divination platform. Divination was done by a man in his fifties. He can tell fortune by divination. Zhang said to him, how about the teacher telling our fortune? Say that finish with your fingers around Kou Zhun.

After listening to Zhang's words, the fortune teller carefully looked at their faces, then clapped his hands and laughed, and said loudly, "You two will be great prime ministers in the future."

At that time, Zhang had just been admitted to Jinshi, and Kou Zhun was only a small official in the DPRK, which was a thousand miles away from the position of prime minister. As prime ministers, neither of them thought of it.

Although Zhang and Kou Zhun don't believe the fortune teller, they are in a good mood and have a higher interest in playing. At first, they only said they would go for a while. Because of Xiangtu's words, they went shopping for a long time.

After walking around, they met two other people.

At this time, Zhang Qixian and Wang Sui also fought in Suoguo Temple. Both of them are scholars, just entering the official career, serving as officials in the court, but their official positions are very small. The unexpected meeting of four people naturally made them very happy. After greeting, Zhang mentioned the fortuneteller. Wang Sui was so frightened that he sent Zhang and Kou Zhun to see the man.

Four people came to Guatan, and a group of people drove to the station. The fortune teller looked up and got a fright. Then he smiled and said, "It's a miracle to meet four prime ministers in one day."

The four men also laughed and felt incredible, thinking that the fortune teller was talking nonsense. Is it so easy for a prime minister to do it? Interestingly, all four of us are prime ministers. After they laughed, they dropped some money, shook their heads and walked away.

Many years later, four people became prime ministers, and they were big prime ministers. Sometimes they get together and talk about the experience of Suoguo Temple. Four people thought banxian was a master, so they sent someone to look for him. First of all, they thanked him for his kind words. Secondly, they asked him some questions.

After a period of searching, they learned that the fortune teller had died and died sadly because of starvation. Hearing this, the four of them all cried.

After the fortune-teller visited four fortune-tellers, the business was much worse than before. People think that this fortune teller talks nonsense for money and has no integrity. Gradually, people no longer believe in him, and fewer and fewer people ask him for fortune telling. Without business, fortune tellers could not make ends meet, and finally starved to death in a ruined temple.

Later, Zhang told his good friend, Fan Zhen, a famous writer and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty. Fan Zhen was deeply moved by this story, so he wrote it down in Dong Zhai Chronicle, so that the story could be handed down.
