Chapter 136 Asking for Signs
There are people who are courting death and no one can stop them.
But what made Su Luoluo even more angry was the vixen following behind that bitch Su Yao.
"Did you see clearly? Was that the woman who was with Prince Anding on New Year's Eve?"
"To answer the question, young lady, it should be so." The little maid was actually sure. Such a beautiful woman would be hard to forget after meeting her once.
"I was just worrying about how to find her, and today she showed up at my doorstep." Su Luoluo turned her head with ill intent and glanced at Xu Zhao's back.
A woman's reputation is the most important thing, not to mention that Su Luoluo wants more than just a reputation.
The little maid glanced at her mistress and saw that she was looking at the girl without blinking. She was afraid that she was going to do something bad again.
She had been with the young lady for many years, but because she was timid and afraid of things, the young lady never told her to do anything. She just thought she was a secretive person, so she took her with her when she went out in the past.
When the little maid thought that her mistress might make a move soon, cold sweat broke out on her back and her face turned pale with fear.
"Let's go. Mother must be waiting anxiously in the side room."
Su Luoluo didn't care what the maid beside her thought. She was her maid. If something happened to her, she would not be safe either.
At this moment, Xu Zhao, who was concentrating on burning incense and praying to Buddha, had no idea that someone was thinking about him.
She saw Su Yao inserting incense into the incense burner in front of the statue of the Moon Goddess, with his hands clasped together, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be silently reciting a wish.
This set of procedures is not much different from the modern model of praying to gods and Buddhas.
Xu Zhao didn't go to many ordinary temples, but he went to the Temple of the God of Wealth quite often. He was very pious every time he went there, and now it was just the same pattern.
After burning incense, Su Yao knelt on the cushion and chanted, "I pray to the Moon Goddess to bless my son to have a smooth journey to Zhongjin and live a safe life in Zhongjin." After that, she shook the stick box in her hand until a stick was thrown out and fell to the ground.
The imperial concubine's maid quickly stepped forward to pick up the fortune stick on the ground. Seeing the words on it, she was overjoyed: "Your Majesty, this is an excellent fortune stick!"
She handed the lot in her hand to the imperial concubine.
"Okay, okay, may the Moon-gazing Goddess bless us!" Su Yao held the stick in both hands and pressed it against his chest.
Knowing what Su Yao would probably ask for, Xu Zhao started to talk nonsense: "Your Highness, even the Moon Goddess said that Qinghe's trip was a good one. Fortune and misfortune are interdependent. What we think is bad may actually be a blessing due to his own efforts."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Su Yao's reply, she inserted the sandalwood in her hand into the incense burner and prayed devoutly to the Moon Goddess to bless her parents and Shen Yu.
Su Yao got up from the mat with the help of the palace maid.
Xu Zhao took over and knelt down. She wanted to ask for two things today, so she had to draw the lots for each one separately.
First, it was for his parents. Whenever he was away from home, he would always think about what he could do for his parents. Soon, Xu Zhao drew a good lot and got what he wanted.
Then for Shen Yu, all Xu Zhao wished was that Shen Yu would be healthy and free from disaster while he was alive, and that he would be happy every day.
Knowing that it was difficult for the Moon Goddess to make such a wish, she shook the stick more devoutly and recited silently in her heart.
With a "rustling" sound, a stick quietly slid out of the stick tube and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Xu Zhao quickly picked it up and wiped off the incense ash that had fallen on the ground. As she moved, the worst fortune was revealed.
Xu Zhao paused as he was applying the plaster. Seeing the words on it, his brows furrowed, his heart filled with anxiety and hesitation.
Su Yao didn't care what Xu Zhao drew, but judging from her appearance, it was probably not a good sign.
"Come on, Chaoxi, let's go interpret the fortune." Since the fortune she drew was good, she was naturally in a good mood.
Su Yao walked quickly and went to the side hall with the best fortune in his hand.
Xu Zhao brought two lots and found the corresponding lot for one of them with Mingde's help, but he couldn't find the corresponding lot for the other one.
Mingde saw that it was his uncle who interpreted the fortune today, and introduced him, "This is my uncle, whose Dharma name is Yuanman. Today, you have good luck. Uncle Yuanman is the most accurate fortune teller in the temple."
Xu Zhao saw the monk sitting at the fortune-telling table. He had a chubby face and a kind smile, and looked a bit like Maitreya Buddha. He had a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck and also held a string of small Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Thank you, Master Yuanman, for clearing up my doubts." Xu Zhao handed over a stick and a fortune slip.
"Gentleness has always been superior to strength, and accumulating good deeds brings great fortune. If someone draws this hexagram, it's like finding nectar while thirsty." Yuanman read the words on the fortune stick, his brows beaming with joy. "Excellent fortune! Your wish will surely be granted, and the Moon Goddess will surely bless you."
After interpreting the fortune in his hand, Yuan Man returned it to Xu Zhao, "Only those who have done good deeds regularly can draw this excellent fortune."
"A person of merit?"
Xu Zhao has always believed that merit is something that can only be obtained by doing a lot of good deeds, but she thinks that the best thing she has done in her daily life is to give up her seat to the elderly on the bus. However, this is just out of politeness and should not be considered a great kindness.
"Don't let a kindness go unrewarded, even if it's small." Yuanman habitually touched the Buddhist beads in his hand. "Besides, merits follow the soul. Perhaps the donor did something great in his past life."
Xu Zhao nodded, not quite understanding. It was something very mysterious, but since the master had said so, he just wanted to have peace of mind.
Yuanman noticed that Xu Zhao still had a stick in his hand and asked, "Donor, why don't you look for the stick in your hand?"
Xu Zhao: "To be honest, Master Yuanman, neither I nor Master Mingde have found the text for this very bad fortune stick. I wonder if you have any explanation for it."
"May I see the fortune stick in your hand?"
"nature."
Xu Zhao presented the sign with both hands.
He took it and turned it over. It said number 101. This...
Yuanman raised his head and carefully examined Xu Zhao's face. Before, he just casually glanced at the woman in front of him and simply saw that she was rich and powerful, so he said that she was a person of merit.
Now it seems that this girl is not simple.
He returned the lot to Xu Zhao and shook his head, saying, "Amitabha, there is no answer to what you asked for on this lot."
This fortune stick prayed for Shen Yu to be healthy and free from disasters. She only wished for peace. Why was there no answer? She thought so in her heart and asked so aloud.
"There are only one hundred lots in the Moon Goddess Temple, and the one in your hand is the one hundred and first."
Xu Zhao turned the sign over and saw that it indeed said one hundred and one. "Master Yuanman, please enlighten me."
He closed his eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in his hand. "Amitabha, the stick in your hand is just something I casually carved in my spare time and put into this stick holder. Therefore, there is no serial number on the stick."
When he opened his eyes again, Yuanman's eyes were filled with regret. "This stick has been in the stick box for five or six years. You were the first one to draw it. If it weren't for what you did today, I would have almost forgotten my playful behavior so many years ago."
