余曰。剋過正妻否彼曰。還是結髮。予曰。傷過正妻。方可存子。彼曰。何也
I asked: ?Do you have gone beyond your principal wife?? He said: ?Still tying hair [i.e. first marriage of couple]?. I said: ?Go beyond your principal wife, only then have a surviving child?. He asked: ?Why??
予曰。內卦亥水之財。卽爲正妻破而被剋五爻子水財爻。乃爲再娶之妻變出申金子孫。必生子也但五爻子水。亦被戌土之剋。雖化長生。又有酉日之生不免多病。
I said: ?Inner trigram Hai water?s Wealth indeed is principal wife. It is broken and is countered. The 5th line Son water Wealth line indeed is second wife. It transforms into Shen metal Son-Daughter. You will have children. But the 5th line Zǐ water is also by Xu earth, countered, although changing into Birth(p) and with You day producing, cannot escape from many illnesses.?
卯年占。果於巳年死妻。卽於冬月續絃。申年得子。此婦月中得病。久臥床榻。
