Chapter 36 Everything is in your brother's calculations
Xu Miaoyun never expected that this old Taoist priest would choose him.
In fact, in Xu Miaoyun, the so-called "Old Taoist" priest only counts three people a day, but it is just for the purpose of attracting attention. Maybe they have already found a trustee and choose one person as the last one, and then calculated one very accurately, then sighed and said, "Hey, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will reluctantly calculate it for everyone."
Then, it was a big deal for each person to collect one penny. Maybe his reputation would be spread and he would have a good business in the future. Didn’t you see what the people around you said seriously? Maybe some people were the ones he asked for.
But Xu Miaoyun never expected that this old Taoist priest actually chose him, and he was definitely not his support.
Xu Miaoyun was wondering, and everyone around him looked envious. The noble ladies who followed him also urged Xu Miaoyun to go up and calculate the fortune and make a fortune. The rare opportunity should not be missed.
After all, most girls care a lot about their marriage, so Xu Miaoyun was no exception, so she walked forward and wanted to draw a lottery from the sign.
But the old Taoist priest raised his hand and stopped him and said:
"I don't need to make a decision this time. I will use the secret Nine Palaces Qimen technique for you. Wait for a moment."
After Xi Yingzhen said that, she rolled her eyes and calculated her fingers. She looked at her very professional attitude, and everyone else was confused, and they stretched their necks to see the results.
Xi Yingzhen didn't count for too long. After all, she was still very tired when rolling her eyes. After letting go of her fingers, she touched her white beard and said:
"This girl is from Xu Dadu, the mansion of Wei State, right?"
Xu Miaoyun was stunned. The ladies beside him looked at Xi Yingzhen like gods, because no one knew them here at all. They didn't show up in public and they even disguised themselves today. This old Taoist priest has never seen him before.
Can this be calculated?
The other noble ladies, looking at Xi Yingzhen, had already believed it, and Xu Miaoyun was also frightened, thinking that there is really a science of calculation and prediction in this world?
Hearing Xi Yingzhen touching her beard, he continued:
"The girl's marriage is amazing!"
After Xi Yingzhen said that, she laughed, pointed to the beam of the Jiming Temple and said:
"In this Jiming Temple, there was a pair of miserable mandarin ducks. This girl was a maid, and that young man had a noble status. However, they had a good impression of each other and had a private life. In the end, they were obstructed by the world and could not be together. In the end, they both sacrificed their lives. The two left a jade pendant. In this Jiming Temple, if I don't calculate it wrong, you are the reincarnation of that girl."
What a good guy, he was a miserable mandarin duck and reincarnation. The people were shocked at that time.
One of the favorite songs that ordinary people have watched these days is love stories like "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "Dou E's Injustice" and "The West Chamber". Not to mention how popular it is, whenever these songs are sung on the stage, they will definitely be full of scenes.
The people's interest suddenly became swelled. The old Taoist priest said that the love-taking jade pendant was in Jiming Temple. Fortunately, the people couldn't reach the beams, otherwise the beams would be collapsed by you now.
At this time, a strong man came out and said:
"What you said in an old Taoist priest is mysterious. Is it true? Let me take a look!"
Before the people could react, they saw the strong man running up, then kicked hard, supported one hand on the wall, and flew up again with his strength. Then they looked shocked and raised their hand to pick up the beam. When they came down, they really had something in their hands!
Everyone was shocked again, and the monks from Jiming Temple who were watching the fun silently were also shocked.
Hum? When did we put jade pendants on the beams of our temple? But these monks didn’t dare to say anything. At this time, they jumped out and said that this old Taoist priest is a lie. Isn’t it clear that they put such Taoist priests in Jiming Temple to tell fortunes and explain fortunes?
What's more, this old Taoist priest seems to have a good relationship with his abbot and often sits to discuss it.
The monks didn't say anything, so the other people naturally didn't know that this was arranged in advance. They thought that the monks had agreed to this tragic love story, but no one said anything, each of them was shocking.
But a sharp-eyed person saw what was in the strong man's hand and said in surprise:
"Huh? Why is this jade pendant only half?"
When the others saw it, yes, why is it only half? Didn’t the pair of miserable mandarin ducks who died of love left a jade pendant?
Xi Yingzhen smiled and said, touching her beard:
"It was originally a whole piece, but since the girl had been reincarnated as a human being, the noble son naturally reincarnated. Their marriage was in the dark, and the other half of the jade pendant was in the hands of the noble son. As for this half, the girl should keep it away. One day when she met the other half of the jade pendant, she would be the destined person of your destiny."
After Xi Yingzhen finished speaking, she paired it with this tortuous and bizarre story and his image as a charlatan. Stop talking about it. This thing is definitely no worse than what comes from "Brief of Liang" and "The West Chamber"!
What do the people like the most? They like these stories of gods and gods! The most important thing is that there is a follow-up.
The strong man also handed half of the jade pendant to Xu Miaoyun's hands with a serious look on his face. Xu Miaoyun is almost stunned now. Looking at the jade pendant again, why does it seem like it is very new?
Xi Yingzhen completed the task, and then according to Zhu Qi's pre-arrangement, he began to pack up his things without saying a word, and collected a lot of money. He didn't have to set up a stall here in the next few days. Zhu Qi was still very generous.
Just as the old Taoist priest left leisurely and Xu Miaoyun looked at Yu Pei and wondered, someone beside him shouted:
"Hey! I look so familiar with this jade pendant. The talented man who wrote "Song of Drinking Under Flowers" in Xiaoxiang Pavilion was also wearing this piece!"
Someone immediately puzzled:
"How do you know it's the same?"
The man quickly answered:
"Because that talented man also wore half a jade pendant, and the style was special. I'm sure these two jade pendants could be put together!"
After saying that, the man bowed to Xu Miaoyun and said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Miss, I actually have such an envious marriage with that talented man."
The great talent who wrote "Song of Drinking Under Flowers"... Isn't that the King of Liao?
Xu Miaoyun felt the sky was spinning, and she was a little confused, but when she heard that her destined person was His Royal Highness, she was a little panicked at that time. Her good feelings that were originally extinguished suddenly rekindled and even poured oil on her hands.
Of course, the people around them also knew the author of "Song of Drinking Under Flowers", and someone immediately shouted:
"It's His Highness, King of Liao!"
"Ah? Your Highness of the King of Liao? Is that Taoist priest true? This girl's destiny is His Highness of Liao? By the way, His Highness of Liao went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"
"I heard that His Highness of the King of Liao went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to learn materials, so don't think wrong."
"Hmm? Why did I hear the madam Xiaoxiang Pavilion say that His Highness the King of Liao is very powerful, and the girls in her Pavilion are thinking tightly."
"Ah, I know that they want to be tight, but I can't slander His Highness the King of Liao."
"That's the truth. His Highness of the Liao King is such a gentleman. Don't talk nonsense."
"That Taoist is not talking nonsense, right? What if His Highness of the King of Liao causes trouble for him..."
"Hmm? Where is that priest?"
The people started to talk, and Xu Miaoyun was in a mess. When the noble ladies around him saw this, they hurriedly pulled Xu Miaoyun away.
Zhu Qi, who was hiding in the dark, saw from beginning to end and waited until Xu Miaoyun was pulled away, and the people around him were still talking, and then he felt relieved.
Zhu Di was confused and asked strangely:
"Brother Third, your plan is progressing step by step. It's so well arranged. Why didn't you go out and take out the other half of the jade pendant just now? Isn't this beautiful thing done?"
Zhu Qi rolled his eyes at Zhu Di, and when he heard that he was a young man who had never thought about a complicated plot, he said:
"I'm going out right now. This girl is smarter and thinks that it might be the preview. Even if I fall in love with her, but if I don't make up public opinion, I can still take her back to the palace directly? I must be famous.
You and I are princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty. We can’t do what a dandy can do. We don’t know that there are so many rules in the palace. You have to take advantage of the situation. Do you understand? And sometimes, you can scratch your feet and get itchy. The more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the less fish you have!”
Although Zhu Di was confused when he heard it, he felt very powerful. He had no need to say anything about the admiration in his eyes, but he thought about it and asked:
"But third brother, there might be Xie in those groups of ladies. You have a scandal with the Xu maid. What if Xie deals with the Xu maid?"
Zhu Qi laughed and said:
"Yes, you can think of it, I can't think of it? Don't worry, everything is in your brother's calculations. Let's not talk about whether Xie will go through hardships to deal with the maids of the Xu family. I must have a next step! Otherwise, if I let so many people act in this drama, half of them are actors, would it make people watch the fun?"
Zhu Di was intrigued and asked:
"What's next?"
Zhu Qi turned his head and said:
"Let's go find Xu Zengshou!"
