Mr. Lu's delicate bag
Chapter 192 Testing the Shore
Chapter 192 Measuring the Shore
Ever since that night at the cemetery when her son opened up to her and insisted on having Shen Jiaojiao, Mrs. Lu has been worried.
Although she didn't mention it to others, people who knew her knew that she seemed to have encountered some difficulties.
I heard from an old friend that a certain master is still in the city, so I might as well go there to have my fortune told, which would help me relieve the depression and doubts in my heart.
She had never really believed in such things, but some subconscious instinct ingrained in the Chinese made her consider it and make the call. She asked someone to help connect her with him. This master was quite well-connected, and ordinary people who wanted to see him would have to wait in line.
This time, the master is in the city, and I have the help of my good friend. Thinking about it this way, it seems like it is God's will, so I might as well go and listen.
I received a call from Lu Shize in the afternoon. The old lady of the Lu family also declined Ji Yalan's invitation to go for a massage together. She just said that she had something to do and would make an appointment next time... I hurriedly called an old friend and asked if the meeting with the master could be brought forward?
After many twists and turns, we finally met in a private room on the 4th floor of a fancy teahouse at dusk.
The other party was an old Taoist priest with a white beard. The old lady of the Lu family was welcomed in respectfully. She first smelled the faint fragrance of wood and grass, and then saw the whisk used by the other party, and she believed it to be true.
"Master, we are fortunate to meet each other."
The Taoist priest stroked his beard and nodded, indicating that she didn't need to be so formal. His two apprentices, the younger Taoist priest, brought her warm tea and spread a piece of white paper and a pen on the mahogany table.
This Taoist priest was the one who came to City A at Ye Qing's invitation last time. Then, other people came to visit him, so he has not been able to return as scheduled.
"What are you measuring?"
The old lady of the Lu family hurriedly said, "Well, will you keep our conversation confidential? My friends..."
"Of course it's a secret, otherwise my apprentices and I won't be able to stay in this business in the future."
After hearing these words, the old lady of the Lu family felt relieved.
"Oh, I don't know her birth date very clearly, is this okay? I only know her lunar birthday and the specific time..."
Of course, Lu Shize's mother wanted to know whether Shen Jiaojiao was a good match for her son, but she didn't want to directly calculate her son's birth date and horoscope.
After all, there is a saying that some people have a good fate, but repeated calculations may affect their original fate.
So, ever since her friend mentioned it, she wanted to calculate from Shen Jiaojiao's perspective how compatible this child would be with her son.
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "Let's do a fortune telling. This doesn't require birth date and eight characters."
"Divination?"
The Taoist priest nodded and pushed a piece of paper towards her, "I didn't intend to help you with your fortune telling, as that covers a wide range of topics. But it's late today, and time is limited, so I can't explain it in detail.
A fortune telling should be able to help us resolve the current confusion a little bit."
The old lady of the Lu family picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and then carefully wrote down a word - "bank".
When handing it over, he did not forget to instruct, "I am doing this for my granddaughter. I want to know her marriage fate."
The Taoist priest took it, and then the young apprentice brought the stove. He raised his hand, shook it gently, lit the paper, and burned it.
Seeing the falling ash, he finally spoke, "The word 'bank' has a mountain on it, so it means high ground.
Moreover, the high land beside the water is called "bank". Since it is a high land, it can be extended to mean noble or proud, such as the "majestic" we often say.
Your granddaughter's marriage should be with a very important person. Firstly, the age difference will be quite large, and he will be much older than your granddaughter."
"Much bigger?"
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Yeah, it's a lot bigger, not just 3 or 5 years old."
The first person that old lady Lu thought of immediately was her son Lu Shize. The two were 9 years apart in age. Could this be true?
The Taoist priest continued, "Moreover, his social status and wealth status are also quite high..."
Hearing this, the old lady of the Lu family was completely speechless. Isn't this... her own son?
There are many people in City A who are older than Shen Jiaojiao, and who are rich and have status. Only his son is single...
The Taoist priest glanced at her expression and smiled faintly, "And..."
"And what?"
"The word 'An', as I just said, means great and noble, so this person can be considered a benefactor to your granddaughter and should be of great help."
Forget it, there is no need to test it. My son has worked like a slave for her for so long, and I have to continue to help her in the future...
Lu Shize's mother was depressed for a while, and finally stood up and counted two bundles of money from her wallet. "Thank you for your honesty. Today's matter..."
The Taoist priest also stood up and said, "Actually, I know that you don't really want to calculate for this child."
"what?!"
The old lady of the Lu family turned pale.
The Taoist priest gestured for her to drink tea, picked up his whisk, and walked around her. "...In ancient times, divination was usually done in the morning. If divination was done at sunset, it was called Xijiabu, and the word became 'outside'.
Therefore, in ancient times, divination at night generally meant that something was happening on the border.
The word "wai" not only means the spatial frontier, but can also be extended to mean close or distant relationships, such as "outsider, see outsiders".
So, in your heart, the person you most want to help you with divination is not her, right? In your heart, she is an 'outsider' compared to the other person."
The old lady of the Lu family paused, took a sip of tea silently, put it down, and quickly looked up at the Taoist priest, "I... Well, to be honest, it's true. I was a bit opportunistic, I'm sorry."
