Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Thinking of Yue Qianzhang's note just now, Chu Shiyu asked: "Is that note given to you by your master? And the note for the future person?"

"Yes, Master gave me a lot of notes, divided them according to the days of the day. I just need to find the corresponding person according to the day." Young Master Tianqing said as he took out a palm-sized bamboo and wooden folder from his Taoist robe. When he opened it, he saw three notes inside.

"Does your master know who will come here every day?" Chu Shiyu asked in surprise. If this is true, then what Yue Qianzhang said just now that there are immortals in this mountain is true!

"Master said that he only knows some people and doesn't know most of them. Not everyone who prepared a note will come, but let me give it to those who come." Young Master Tianqing said as he took a note, looked at it, and handed it to Liu Rusi.

Liu Rusi had just taken it in surprise when Tian Qing handed another note to Chu Shiyu. Then he searched among the guards behind them and found a dark-skinned guard who gave him the last note.

Tianqing said happily: "Everyone who has a note is here today!"

Although they were full of doubts, they all started to look at the notes in their hands. When Liu Rusi was reading it, Xiao Qinhao also leaned over to look at it, holding her hand.

"Mountains are high and deep, and rivers are so steep that one may think there is no way out. Even if one spends all his money, he will get it back..." Little Qin Hao frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "These two sentences should not be the same poem! The rhyme is not right."

Who says it's not true? She can even recite the poems from which these two lines came! However, Liu Rusi just stared at the four words "a thousand gold scattered" with a frown.

"Master said that this is what he meant. It's fine as long as the meaning is clearly written." Young Master Tianqing responded seriously to little Qinhao's doubts.

Xiao Qinhao didn't quite agree, but didn't want to refute. He moved closer to Chu Shiyu and pulled his hand, wanting to see his note. Chu Shiyu also indulged him by lowering his body to show Xiao Qinhao.

"He uses this path to escape disaster, but the river cannot be stopped and ends up flowing into the sea..."

Liu Rusi looked at Xiao Qinhao awkwardly. Normally, Xiao Qinhao would not be so tactless. Only a few people would be like this. Maybe it was because they got along so well during the ten days of teaching. Even though he changed his name back to Chu Shiyu and his identity was different, Xiao Qinhao did not treat him with estrangement...

But fortune-telling and prophecy-telling are all very private and secretive, and it would be over the line for Xiao Qinhao to go and see them. The problem was that Chu Shiyu read it right away, and she didn't have time to stop him.

The two people who read the note had confused expressions on their faces. Liu Rusi still had some idea about the huge fortune being spent, but Chu Shiyu had no idea what it meant. If it weren't for what happened with Yue Qianzhang and what the little Taoist boy said, he would probably have regarded it as a mysterious statement.

Chu Shiyu glanced at the dark-skinned guard, who was hesitating whether to show the note to Prince Duan. Chu Shiyu turned around and asked Tianqing: "Did your master tell me how to interpret these notes?"

Tian Qing shook his head and said, "Master said that I can't tell you everything. If you understand, then you understand. If you don't understand, then it doesn't matter. Since you have come to this point, it is your destiny."

"I can't tell you everything. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Then why did your master leave a note?" Liu Rusi asked speechlessly.

"Master said that some secrets cannot be revealed, but now that I know it, I feel uncomfortable if I don't tell you. This is the only way. No matter if the readers understand or not, he has said it anyway."

Chu Shiyu and Liu Rusi both looked displeased. If you can't say it, then don't say it. Leaving a note will only make people guess.

Chu Shiyu looked at Tianqing and asked again: "How do you know who to give these notes to? Won't you give them to the wrong person? Did your master tell you about each one?"

Tian Qing tilted his head in thought and said uncertainly: "Master didn't tell me, but when I saw the note and the person, I knew who it belonged to. I don't know if I missed it."

They were all stunned at the same time, and then they looked at Tianqing carefully. Liu Rusi saw that the Qianjin Sanjin was probably sure that it was hers, and the one of Yue Qianzhang was accurate. The remaining two pictures of Chu Shiyu and the guard were uncertain, and the accuracy was really difficult to verify...

After a moment of silence, Huang Caiyun suddenly asked, "Little Master, can I ask for anything here?"

Tianqing replied, "Master said that it depends on the person. Some people get what they want even if they don't ask for it, some people get nothing even if they don't ask for it, and some people get nothing even if they ask for it."

"Then how do I know what to pray for? Even if I get what I want, how do I know whether it was already there or was something I prayed for?" Liu Rusi pinched her fingers with her fingernails. Was it really something Qin Lie prayed for, or were they destined to meet?

"Master said that ordinary people don't know what to pray for, so they can only give it a try. As for whether it was obtained, you will know when the time comes."

Tianqing turned around and looked at the stove, then said to the others, "I'm going to cook, please feel free to help yourself."

Liu Rusi saw that it was still early, but it would be dark in another hour. She looked at his tender hands and smiled gently, "Can we eat together? I'll cook."

Tian Qing smiled and said, "Okay! Master's cooking is not good, so my cooking is not good either!"

There is a small vegetable garden not far from the Taoist temple’s kitchen, so Tianqing picks and cooks the vegetables on the spot.

Liu Rusi asked Tianqing what she wanted to eat, then went into the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. She was used to doing this at home, so she was skilled at it even if she moved to another vegetable garden.

Chu Shiyu wanted to go and help, but little Qin Hao also wanted to go, and people like Sun Zhizhao dissuaded him from helping. As a result, Liu Rusi said that the vegetable garden was too small and didn't need so many people, so she left Chu Shiyu outside the garden.

The small vegetable garden fence couldn't block their figures, but standing outside made them feel excluded. Chu Shiyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he lowered his voice and shouted at the group of people, "Get out, you're an eyesore here."

Sun Zhizhao naturally objected. How could the prince go to this mountain without any help? "The prince..."

His words were interrupted by Chu Shiyu's terrifying eyes. Knowing that they could not persuade him, Sun Zhizhao and others had to retreat. However, they did not retreat directly to the foot of the mountain, but waited at the stone steps below the Taoist temple. They could not see the prince, but could hear the movement, so as to respond at any time.

No matter what they said, Liu Rusi took Xiao Qinhao and Tianqing to chat about family matters.

The Taoist temple grows vegetables but does not have farmland, so firewood, rice, oil and salt must be bought from the mountain. In the past, the temple master would go down to buy and carry them back every once in a while. Later, when there were familiar pilgrims, some pilgrims would bring some with them when they went up the mountain. Each person brought not much, but now there are more pilgrims and there is too much food to eat.

As for what they thought, the master and Tianqing would eat the oldest food first. Smelling the moldy rice, Liu Rusi was speechless. No wonder the food tasted bad. It would get worse in the future...

While Liu Rusi used simple language to explain the dangers of eating spoiled food, she gestured to Chu Shiyu to dump the moldy bags of rice.

"But! Isn't this a waste?" Tian Qing couldn't stop it. He looked at the gray rice being dumped into the weeds in the valley with reluctance.

Before Liu Rusi could say anything, Xiao Qinhao spoke up: "Mom said that eating spoiled food may seem economical, but it is actually more wasteful. If you spoil your body, you need to take medicine to treat the disease, which wastes money and medicine. If you can't be cured and die from the disease, then you have directly wasted a life."

“But…” Tianqing felt that it made sense, but he still felt reluctant.

"If it were in my house, we would feed it to the cows, chickens and ducks before it goes bad." Little Qin Hao looked at the rice and actually felt it was a pity why he just left it there and let it go bad. Who knows how many eggs the chickens and ducks would lay if they ate it, and feeding it to the cows would also make them grow stronger.

“We used to raise cows in the temple and feed them, but later on there was too much food and the cows couldn’t finish it all…and now the master has taken the cow away.” Tianqing liked that cow very much and he often took it out to graze.

Xiao Qinhao suggested: "Then raise another cow, or some chickens and ducks."

"That won't work. Master said that raising living beings with flesh, blood, spirits and souls will result in more karma. We who are influenced by the secrets of heaven cannot raise livestock casually." Tianqing explained.

Little Qin Hao suddenly had an idea when he heard this. He looked at Tian Qing seriously and asked, "When did you start raising your cows? Was it sent by a very powerful man with a scar on his face?"

"How do you know? That person sent it to us four years ago. Master said that we normally wouldn't accept livestock, but that person was so sincere and it was destined to be a cause and effect relationship with us, so we accepted it."

Little Qin Hao nodded suddenly, and said with some sadness: "Is this the karma your master talked about? That man is my father, and that cow was given to me by my father to fulfill a vow after I was born."

Tian Qing also seemed to suddenly realize something, and then asked apologetically: "Then your father... has passed away?"

Little Qin Hao nodded sadly.

Tian Qing looked up at the sky and said, "That is Tian Yan's Forty-Nine... There are many lives and deaths that are predetermined. The only things that can be changed are things other than life and death. There are very few lives and deaths that can be changed."

Two children, one big and one small, were chatting on the side. Liu Rusi, Caiyun and Chu Shiyu were listening while they were busy cooking.

Unlike the time when she was at the noodle stall, where she was filled with grief and anger, Liu Rusi was just a little sad at this moment, and she didn't even stop her busy movements...

If Qin Lie was destined to die a year ago, perhaps this would have been the best ending Qin Lie could have asked for.

She was still unwilling, but also a little fortunate. Meeting Qin Lie was the best thing in her life.

The three people divided the work in an orderly manner, and a meal that was not rich but delicious was ready. The five people sat at the small square table and started to eat.

Tian Qing took just one bite and shouted excitedly, "It's so delicious! I've never eaten such delicious food!"

Liu Rusi was helpless and a little distressed, while little Qin Hao beside him swallowed the food in his mouth and said seriously: "Brother Tianqing, my mother said that you should not talk while eating, otherwise you will choke easily."

Tian Qing blushed a little when he heard that, and lowered his head to eat in silence, but his eating speed still showed that he thought it was delicious.

After finishing a light meal without any meat, it was already dusk. They would not stay overnight at Baitian Temple - and there was no other place to stay, so they had to go down the mountain.

But Liu Rusi still delayed for a while, and she carefully explained: "Your rice and flour are all stored in the kitchen outside, so it is easy to get damp and moldy. We just put the rice and flour for you in the empty space on the right side of the main hall. It is drier over there. If pilgrims bring rice and flour in the future, let them put it directly there."

Tian Qing nodded, and Liu Rusi asked again: "The offerings you received, that is, the money, are you just going to leave it there like that? If someone is greedy, it would be too easy to take it away."

"Don't worry, Master said that the money comes from offerings from others. It's okay for others to take it directly if they need it. As for those who do it secretly or out of greed, they are damaging their own opportunities." Tian Qing obviously didn't care.

Liu Rusi understood but didn't want to learn this spirit, so she let it go. She looked at Tianqing and asked, "Are you really not going with us?"

Tianqing's face showed more reluctance, but he still shook his head and said, "I want to wait for Master to come back."

I really want to catch your unreliable master back! Tianqing didn't want to leave, so Liu Rusi naturally wouldn't force him.

It was a chance encounter and they didn't know if it would be the only one they would meet in this life. They bid farewell to Master Tianqing. They were the last pilgrims to go down the mountain that day - although no one lit incense.

It was dark, but the road was still clear, and there were guards holding torches waiting just down a few steps.

The way down the mountain was steep. Liu Rusi walked with little Qin Hao. Chu Shiyu had walked behind them when they went up the mountain, but now he was walking in front of them. He looked back from time to time, waiting for them to get closer.

Liu Rusi noticed it, and she looked up less often. She focused on the road under her feet and walked carefully with Xiao Qinhao.
