Volume 1: Official's Initial Chapter 27 - Eight Characters of Name Settled! Hall Master!

  At night, Liu Guanghua and Cai Zhenghua went to the home of Liu Yuansheng, Director of Guangdong Provincial Radio and Television Bureau and President of Guangdong TV Station.

  "Director Liu, you must take charge of this matter! I didn't expect that Little Wang would still hold a grudge against me after arriving at Hanjiang TV and deceive me into coming to Hanjiang City... If it weren't for the comrades from the Hanjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau telling me the truth, I would have been kept in the dark forever! That would be an injustice of the ages!" The provincial TV reporter who was beaten the most severely rushed over from the hospital, ignoring his injured arm, to pour out his grievances to Liu Yuan-sheng. At the same time, he brought Liu Li-hua and Cai Zheng-hua along to pay a visit.

  For a long time, Liu Yuansheng had been lowering his head to read books, occasionally frowning and writing a few words, looking like he was studying some profound academic question! Because in his hand held a very thick dictionary! Thicker than a brick!

  "Director... I..." The TV reporter who was beaten looked a bit embarrassed at this time! Earlier, he knew that he had been framed by Xiao Wang from Hanjiang TV and immediately became furious! He turned his anger towards Xiao Wang! When Cai Zhenghua promised to teach Xiao Wang a lesson and demote or expel the leader and members of the Petition Work Group of Hanjiang Municipal Public Security Bureau who beat him, the reporter was moved! After getting familiar with each other, he took Liu Guanghua and Cai Zhenghua to Liu Yuansheng's home to resolve the issue. Unexpectedly, Director Liu, who had always been good to him, cold-shouldered him, making him feel very humiliated!

  Liu Yuansheng closed the brick dictionary, looked at Cai Zhenghua and Liu Bianhua with a slanted gaze, then snorted to the reporter: "Despicable thing. Just a few days ago you were still resentful of the Hanjiang City Public Security Bureau! How did you change completely in the blink of an eye? I know what's going on with you. You all go back, the decision made here will not be changed!"

  "Director... You see, Comrade Hanjiang City has been here for many days, they are indeed sincerely apologizing to us and severely punishing the one who beat him... I won't pursue this matter anymore. Director, you see..." The reporter who was beaten changed his attitude so quickly because Hanjiang City gave him a lot of benefits.

  Liu Yuansheng glanced at the reporter and sneered: "You don't understand what's going on here, so don't get involved. Everyone leave, I'm busy."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Yuansheng picked up that big brick-like dictionary and continued to study it! It seemed that there really was a golden house and a beauty like jade inside!

  Liu Bi Hua had long since seen that it was a "Kangxi Dictionary"! Looking again at Liu Yuan Sheng scribbling on the paper, Liu Bi Hua seemed to have understood something. The corners of his mouth suddenly revealed a mysterious and sinister smile.

  Cai Zhenghua saw Liu Bihua's smile and felt a little puzzled. Did Liu Bihua have some new discovery? Or was there something unusual about it? But now, even if the TV station's reporters didn't pursue responsibility, Liu Yuansheng's side wouldn't change either. In other words, the pressure from the Central Organization Department on the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee would not change! That is to say, Cai Zhenghua thought that restoring his position was still impossible!

  The atmosphere in the living room is a bit awkward! Liu Yuansheng seems to have treated Cai Zhenghua, Liu Bianhua and others as air! Ignoring them! Not hearing or asking! Not even a cup of tea!

  The reporter who was beaten by the provincial TV station smiled wryly and glanced at Cai Zhenghua and Liu Bihua before saying, "Director, then I'll leave first."

  Liu Yuansheng's wife opened the door, and the TV reporter nodded and bowed out... But Liu Yuansheng's wife didn't close the door. She looked at Cai Zhenghua and Liu Bianhua with a meaning of "Aren't you leaving yet?"

  Cai Zhenghua sighed and said, "Director Liu, we're leaving! Please believe in the sincerity of our Hanjiang City!" Liu Yuansheng didn't even lift his head, still reading that Kangxi dictionary.

  Cai Zhenghua smiled wryly and pulled Liu Binghua, then walked towards the door.

  Liu Bihua had just come up with a clever idea... At this time, a middle-aged man rushed in from outside and said: "Dad, has the child's name been decided? The household registration is about to be done, how can it be done without a name?"

  Liu Yuansheng raised his head and lectured, "What's the hurry! I heard that master say my grandson's eight characters seem to lack water... naming him should make up for it! I'm looking for a character with 'water' or 'rain'. A child's name is a big deal in life, can't be careless!"

  Middle-aged man weakly said: "Dad, are you okay? Will you be alright?"

  Liu Yuansheng continued to lower his head and look at the Kangxi Dictionary, muttering in his mouth: "You little rabbit..."

  The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment.

  At this time, Liu Yuansheng's wife coughed a few times impatiently... Cai Zhenghua pulled Liu Binghua and left! Cai Zhenghua is also a person with strong self-esteem, and can be considered as one of the big families in Beijing. It's just that Old Man Cai said that if they don't reach the level of a regular hall, he won't take action! Otherwise, a director of a broadcasting hall should be able to handle it!

  "The name... isn't like that!" Liu Bihua threw out a mysterious and profound sentence as he stepped out of Liu Yuansheng's house, imitating Zhou Xingchi's phrase: "The ball... isn't kicked like that!"

  Cai Zhenghua was taken aback and looked at Liu Bihua in confusion. Liu Bihua whispered, "Director, don't worry! We'll definitely get him!"

  "Wait a minute, young man, what did you just say?" Liu Yuansheng raised his head in surprise, how could this young man be so arrogant?

  Liu Bihua turned around calmly and said, "Director Liu, I didn't mean it that way!"

  "Oh... Young people speaking wildly! Do you know how to name things? Do you even know what kind of dictionary this is?" Liu Yuansheng said disdainfully.

  Liu Bihua sneered: "A Kangxi Dictionary, what's so great about that?"

  Liu Yuansheng was surprised: "You know Kangxi Dictionary? Are you a Mongolian?"

  "Kangxi Dictionary", compiled by Zhang Yushu, a scholar of Wenhua Hall and Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Chen Tingjing, an official of the Imperial Academy and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, during the Kangxi period of the Qing dynasty. It was written with reference to the "Zihui" and "Zhengzi Tong" of the Ming Dynasty, and is a detailed Chinese dictionary that was completed in the 55th year of Kangxi and has been continuously reprinted until now." Liu Guanghua's tone was light and casual.

  Liu Yuansheng suddenly stood up! When he found himself losing his composure, he sat back down and exclaimed in shock: "Incredible! Nowadays young people can't even read the Kangxi Dictionary, let alone understand its usage! It's said that the Kangxi Dictionary is great for naming children, little brother, what insights do you have on this?"

  Liu Bihua has gone from being a young man to a little brother!

  "Not bad! Modern name study is based on the number of strokes in Kangxi Dictionary! So, to come up with a good name, Kangxi Dictionary is an essential tool!" Liu Bihua looked very confident, with a glint of wisdom in his eyes, making people around him feel his mysteriousness.

  "Oh, young brother, please sit down. Have some tea!" Liu Yuansheng shouted.

  "I'll go pour the tea!" The middle-aged man immediately got up to pour the tea, he was Liu Yuansheng's son. Recently he also had a son and wanted to give him a good name. Now it seems that Liu Bihua is really talented, he became enthusiastic at once.

  Tsai Cheng-hua has finally secured a seat! His grandmother had been lobbying hard for days in Hanjiang City to no avail! Liu Bih-hua just exchanged a few words and got the seat and tea... This left Tsai Cheng-hua with a lot of emotions!

  Liu Yuansheng saw Liu Bihua sit down afterwards still very "calm and composed", with a masterly demeanor, he valued Liu Bihua even more in his heart.

  Liu Bihua knew that it was time to show his true level! Relying on deceit and cheating would definitely not fool Liu Yuansheng! He thought for a moment and said: "Director Liu, I see you're looking for characters like 'water' and 'rain'. Is your precious grandson's eight-character horoscope lacking water in the five elements?"

  Liu Yuansheng's son immediately interjected, "Yes, Master. My son is said to be born with a lack of water in his eight characters. However, none of us understand the specific meaning of the eight characters, we only have a general idea."

  Liu Yuansheng said: "There is a master who looked at the eight characters, he said that the eight characters lack water can be made up in the name, these days I have been trying to come up with a good name, and it's really exhausting."

  Liu Bihua smiled and said: "Director Liu, the study of names is not based on radicals or strokes! It's based on the five-numbered rationality! What are the five numbers?

  Heavenly Stem, Earthly Branch, Earthly Stem, Outer Stem, and Total Stem!

  Liu Yuansheng's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise: "It seems I've heard of it. But I know very little about this technique. Can you explain it to me, young brother?" Liu Bihua's previous profound theory was full of mystery and shock, now Liu Yuansheng truly looked at Liu Bihua with new eyes.

  Liu Bihua took a sip of tea and frowned... Liu Yuansheng immediately scowled and said: "Good tea!"

  Liu Yuansheng's son immediately ran to Liu Yuansheng's study, carefully took out a box of top-grade oolong tea.

  Cai Zhenghua felt this scene was seriously unrealistic! Who exactly was asking who for a favor here?

  "Tiān gé - This is the surname left by ancestors, for example, if Liu Tingchang's surname is Liu, then your grandson will also be surnamed Liu! This is basically unchangeable. Of course, its influence on a person's life is not great."

  Personality - also known as the main character, is the center of the entire name, implying a person's life destiny.

  Destiny - also known as pre-transportation, implying a person's fate before middle age

  Outer frame - implies a person's social skills, intelligence, etc.

  Total Luck - also known as Later Life Luck, implying a person's luck from middle age to old age.

  Liu Bihua said as she explained, and after finishing, she calmly picked up her teacup and took a sip, saying: "Good tea!"

  Liu Yuansheng broke free from his deep contemplation and revealed a hint of a smile to Liu Bihua, saying: "Younger brother, it seems you've studied this technique quite thoroughly. Can you elaborate further on the Five Grids Numerology?"

  Liu Bihua said, "Alright. Wu Ge Shu Li has a total of 81 numbers, which means that the good or bad fortune of a person's name is determined by these 81 digits. This explanation is quite dry, so let me use my own name as an example to illustrate it."

  My name is: Liu Bihua. Analyze whether this name is good or bad.

  1. Tian Grid Calculation Method - If it's a compound surname, directly add up the strokes of the surname. For example, 'Si Ma' Tian Grid is 5 + 10 = 15. If it's a single surname, add one more stroke to the total strokes of the name. For example, our surname 'Liu' has a Tian Grid of 15 + 1 = 16. The 16th Yin Earth indicates: Thick and heavy with virtue, peaceful wealth and honor, both financial and official careers are flourishing, achieving success and fame. Belongs to great auspiciousness.

  2. Personality calculation method - Surname + first letter of the name. 'Liu Bihua', Liu 15 + Bi 18 = 33 personality. 33 Yang Fire indicates fortune: The sun rises to the sky, the phoenix and dragon meet, fame spreads all over the world, prosperity reaches its peak. Not suitable for women. Extremely auspicious.

  3. Calculation method of land grid - first word of name + second word of name. 18 (Bao) + 14 (Hua) = 32 land grid. If I am called 'Liu Bao', it is a surname + a name. The calculation of the land grid is 'name + 1'. 18 (Bao) + 1 = 19 land grid. 32 Yin Wood represents the luck: Many unexpected good fortune, noble people get help, wealth and prosperity abound, flourishing to the extreme. Very auspicious.

  4. External Gua calculation method - Tian Gua + Di Gua - Ren Gua = Wai Gua.

  Liu Bihua, Tian Gua 16 + Di Gua 32 - Ren Gua 33 = Wai Gua 15.

  15 Yang Earth indicates the following luck:

  Good fortune and longevity, wealth and honor, elegant demeanor, high moral character. Extremely auspicious.

  5. Total Stroke Calculation Method - Surname + Name, which is the total number of strokes in the surname and name combined. Liu Binghua, Liu 15 + Bing 18 + Hua 14 = 47 total strokes. The fortune indicated by 47 Yang Jin: Blooming flowers, everything goes as desired, auspicious and joyful, heaven-given happiness. Extremely auspicious.

  Liu Bihua spoke as he scribbled and drew on a piece of paper... Liu Yuansheng and his son basically understood.

  Liu Yuansheng was puzzled again: "Young brother, what did you just say about yin and yang... are numbers divided into yin and yang?"

  Liu Bihua smiled and said: "Numbers are not only divided into yin and yang, but also into the five elements."

  Odd numbers belong to yang: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9; even numbers belong to yin: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10.

  "Numerical Five Elements: 1 - Yang Wood, 2 - Yin Wood; 3 - Yang Fire, 4 - Yin Fire; 5 - Yang Earth, 6 - Yin Earth; 7 - Yang Metal, 8 - Yin Metal; 9 - Yang Water, 10 - Yin Water."

  Liu Yuansheng's son rubbed his head and said, "It's really amazing. There's still a mystery to this."

  "Ha ha, numbers have other meanings too. Starting point rules: authors with ending numbers 1 and 2 are in group one; 3 and 4 are in group two; 5 and 6 are in group three; 7 and 8 are in group four; 9 and 0 are in group five."

  Liu Yuansheng's son was bewildered: "What starting point? What author?"

  Liu Bihua smiled and said: "This needs to be asked of the director." After finishing speaking, Liu Bihua gave a mysterious smile.

  Liu Yuansheng sighed, "This little brother understands a lot! It seems that he can't pretend to understand if he doesn't. Luckily, with the little brother's guidance today, otherwise I would have randomly given him a name and misled my good grandson."

  Seeing Liu Yuansheng attach so much importance to Liu Binghua, Liu Yuansheng's wife quickly brought some fruit, candies, melon seeds... and politely said: "Master, you've worked hard, eat something, don't be polite. Director Cai, don't just sit there, come and eat together. Come, have some tea."

  Cai Zhenghua hastily expressed his gratitude... but in his heart, he was grateful to Liu Bihua! This guy is really his own blessing! Looking at the current situation, as long as Liu Bihua settles the name of Liu Yuansheng's grandson, his own affairs may take a turn for the better! Thinking that several times in a row, Liu Bihua either saved his daughter or helped him greatly, Cai Zhenghua suddenly became distracted! He thought to himself about his daughter Cai Sujuan and Liu Bihua... Ah, but his wife opposed it! And another thing is that their relationship seems to be just like siblings, without any other implications.

  They were too polite, so Liu Binghua and Cai Zhenghua had to eat and drink for a while, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

  Liu Yuansheng said, "Just now I was a bit slow to react, and I hope you can forgive me. Director Cai, this matter is currently being disputed by the higher-ups... Now it's even hard for me to take it back. In fact, you're the scapegoat! I think you understand that too."

  Cai Zhenghua hastily said: "Director Liu, I more or less understand. But there's one thing I'm not clear about - is Director Liu and the Provincial Governor on good terms? It seems like the Provincial Governor is taking advantage of you in this matter... making a big deal out of it!"

  Liu Yuansheng lifted a cup of tea, motionless for a long time... He sighed and said: "Can't be used as a gun by others. You can see through this point, and guessed that it was the provincial governor... impressive!"

  Cai Zhenghua pointed to Liu Bihua: "Director Liu is overpraising. It was Liu Bihua who saw through and pointed out my mistakes. The conspiracy of the TV station reporter being beaten was also detected by Liu Bihua... Without these two things, how dare I come to see you with a thick face?"

  Liu Yuansheng looked at Liu Bihua in surprise and said, "Great! Little brother is indeed a genius! Not only is he proficient in the eight characters, names, and other absolute skills... but also has a deep understanding of the struggles in officialdom... I really admire him! Now, I'll go make a phone call to my brother. Some people want to take advantage of our Liu family? They've miscalculated!"

  Liu Yuansheng looked like an impatient person and immediately got up and went into the study to make a phone call.

  Taking this opportunity, Liu Bihua continued to explain the Five Elements numerology to Liu Yuansheng's son, explaining the meaning of 81 digits. In previous history, Liu Bihua had named hundreds of names for friends and relatives' children, and was very familiar with the meaning of the Five Elements numerology.

  However, Liu Yuansheng's son said he really wanted a daughter... Could he give his son a name that sounded feminine but looked like a man? For this idea... Liu Bihua was speechless! But he still agreed to try his best.

  It wasn't long before Liu Yuansheng came out after finishing the phone call. His face didn't look too good, with a hint of disappointment. He said helplessly: "Just now my brother also asked me if I was being used as a gun by others? I still insisted on it. But my brother said: Now the kite is flying too high... he can't grasp it back. So, Director Cai's matter will have to wait."

  "It's nothing, let things take their course. Thank you, Director Liu, for your concern." Cai Zhenghua felt a pang in his heart upon hearing Liu Yuansheng's words... it seemed that this one matter had actually caused different factions within the capital to struggle against each other, and he was still quite honored!

  Liu Yuansheng said, "Actually, these past few days you've been constantly looking for me... it's really moved me! Don't look at how I ignored you just now, but actually, regarding your visit and uncovering the truth about the TV reporter being beaten up, I'm truly grateful. So even if you had left just now, I wouldn't have wanted to hold onto this anymore. At least the reporter won't make a fuss, and the video tape won't be broadcast."

  Cai Zhenghua hastily expressed his gratitude! In his heart, he secretly sighed that hard work was not in vain for those who were determined! These past few days had not been wasted! However, if it weren't for Liu Bihua's idea and persistence, Cai Zhenghua would have probably returned to Hanjiang City already! And naturally lost the current opportunity.

  Liu Yuansheng smiled and said, "Hehe, Director Cai, don't worry! With Liu Bihua's talent to help you plan, I think your future prospects are boundless! Of course, Liu Bihua's younger brother's future will be even more promising!"

  Cai Zhenghua repeatedly expressed gratitude, with a sweet smile on his face... Liu Bihua politely said: "Director Liu, what kind of talent am I? You're overpraising me! Let's not talk about this anymore, giving your grandson a name is more important!"

  Liu Yuansheng smiled and said, "That's troublesome!" Earlier, Liu Bihua had shown his strength, and Liu Yuansheng had also taken the initiative to ask about Cai Zhenghua. Next, it was naturally Liu Bihua's turn to continue repaying Liu Yuansheng.

  Liu Bihua said: "Just now I mentioned what is called Wuge! How to calculate the five numbers? The remaining 81 numbers are auspicious or ominous, let me categorize them:"

  The most auspicious numbers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 45, 47, 48, 52, 57, 61, 63, 65, 67, 68, 81.

  Lucky Numbers: 6, 17, 26, 27, 29, 30, 38, 49, 51, 55, 58, 71, 73, 75.

  3. Numbers that can be officials: 3, 13, 16, 21, 23, 29, 31, 37, 39, 41, 45, 47.

  "When naming, just choose according to these numerals."

  Liu Bihua then wrote down all these numbers, and Liu Yuansheng understood as soon as he saw them.

  Liu Yuansheng said with a smile: "I've learned something! Little brother, specifically, how should I name my grandson?" Liu Yuansheng now had no doubts about Liu Bihua's naming skills.

  Liu Bihua smiled and said, "That requires your grandson's eight characters! Look at the five elements of generation, restriction, and transformation!" Liu Bihua spoke rather casually. As for whether Liu Yuansheng was willing to hand over his own grandson's eight characters to himself, that would depend on what Liu Yuansheng thought.

  Liu Yuansheng became cautious at this point! Although he now highly recognized Liu Bihua's talent, a person's birth eight characters cannot be casually revealed! This Liu Bihua in front of him... can he be trusted?
