The old man on the scale would say "If the flower weighs eighty-seven, you will live to ninety-one"; the young girl on the scale would say "If the flower weighs one hundred and five pounds, the rich man's family will come to your house. Don't be unwilling, don't be unwilling, because it is your destiny that you will meet the number one scholar."; the young boy on the scale would say "If the flower weighs twenty-three, the young master will grow up and become a successful businessman. Don't be afraid to get a seventh-rank county magistrate, it will be easy to marry a duke or a minister." The scale can only be punched from the inside (that is, from the small number to the large number), not from the outside to the inside.
