Chapter 48 Mr. Hexagram Interpreter
On a sunny day, the Huguo Temple is naturally bustling with people.
The majestic temple is surrounded by devout believers who come to burn incense. Holding incense and candles in their hands, they kneel devoutly in front of the Buddha and express their wishes, asking the Buddha to bless them to fulfill their wishes.
Outside the main hall sat a row of fortune tellers who specialized in interpreting divinations for people. As the most famous royal temple in the capital, the Huguo Temple was always bustling with worshippers. Among these fortune tellers, there were several well-known fortune tellers.
Xu Mingzhu came to the main hall and knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha for a long time, praying for the Buddha to bless her to get what she wanted. She stood up, picked up the bucket of fortune sticks on the table, and began to shake it, muttering "Buddha bless you" while shaking.
After a while, Xu Mingzhu shook out three sticks from the stick bucket, took the sticks and went outside the hall and went straight to the third to last fortune teller on the right.
Xu Mingzhu had inquired in advance and learned that this fortune teller had some prestige among the noble ladies in the capital. Her news of her being able to give birth to a son had to be told by a fortune teller in order to convince people.
There was a long, sparsely packed line in front of the fortune teller's stall. Xu Mingzhu looked out and saw five other people lined up ahead of her, all seeking clarification.
Wait, for the sake of making a big splash, waiting a little while is nothing.
While Xu Mingzhu was waiting, she heard someone in front of her calculate that she would marry into a good family, and that her wishes would come true and she would meet happy people when she went out, and other so-called good news.
Xu Mingzhu, who was listening from behind, curled her lips and laughed secretly: "What are you calculating? Wait, if I calculate that I can give birth to four sons, you will be scared to death."
After waiting for a while, it was time for the master to interpret Xu Mingzhu's divination.
Because the fortune teller would ask some private questions during the interpretation process, everyone consciously kept a distance from the fortune teller's booth, which made the queue look sparse.
Seeing that the person waiting behind her was still some distance away from her, Xu Mingzhu secretly rejoiced in her heart: God is helping me.
She quietly took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and placed it in front of the gentleman through the cover of her sleeve.
The fortune teller's eyes lit up when he saw the gold ingots handed to him by Xu Mingzhu: Oh, this is going to be a big deal!
He quickly reached out and took the opportunity to take Xu Mingzhu's divination stick to cover the gold ingot with the red cloth on the table.
Well, he's good at this kind of thing.
Seeing the gentleman accept the gold ingots, Xu Mingzhu concealed the joy in her eyes and said to him in a low voice, "Sir, what do you think if I could give birth to four sons?"
"Will I marry into a wealthy family just because I can give birth? A very wealthy family."
The fortune teller was slightly stunned after hearing this: Here comes a ruthless person who actually came up with such a dirty trick.
But the gentleman had to admit that although this trick was a bit damaging, it definitely worked. That very high and noble family, wouldn't they want their descendants to be prosperous and flourish?
This lady really grasped the weak spot and planned to hit the target with one strike.
As a professional fortune teller, he was certainly aware of the goings-on in the capital. Everyone had heard about the Crown Prince's selection of a concubine, and lately, most people had been looking to him for advice on that matter.
Everyone wants to gain a good reputation here to increase their chances of winning.
The gentleman lowered his voice, and while examining Xu Mingzhu's features, he whispered to her, "Miss, if you can add a little more money, I can calculate the birth of six sons for you. Would you consider it?"
Xu Mingzhu hurriedly shook her head after hearing this: "No, sir. Four is just right. Three is too few and six is too many. Four is just right."
Xu Mingzhu had given much thought to the number of sons she would have. After all, she had to decide how many would be just right.
Two or three seem a bit insufficient, six or eight sound a bit creepy, and four is just right, not more, not less.
If someone wants to use the same trick as her in the future, they won't be able to do it if they have fewer children. As for having more children, few people would dare to do it.
Seeing that Xu Mingzhu no longer wanted to add money, the gentleman threw away the fortune stick in his hand, and the fortune stick fell on the table with a loud noise.
The sudden noise startled Xu Mingzhu and she screamed in a shrill voice.
"Sir, what are you doing here? Oh, I'm scared to death." After saying that, Xu Mingzhu was so scared that she kept slapping her chest, her heart almost jumping out.
The maidservant following behind Xu Mingzhu also shouted anxiously: "Sir, what are you doing? You scared our young lady. If you want to tell fortunes, just tell fortunes. Why are you throwing fortune sticks?"
The noise here naturally attracted the attention of many people around.
The fortune teller looked at Xu Mingzhu with astonishment on his face, bowed to her with trembling hands, and even his words were trembling.
The gentleman raised his voice and said, "Miss, this is incredible! Today I have finally seen a noble person with great blessings."
"Miss, this divination is absolutely wonderful. I have been fortune-telling for decades and have never seen such a divination."
After saying this, he stood up tremblingly and bowed deeply to Xu Mingzhu twice.
Xu Mingzhu sat in front of the stall in a daze, looking stunned and speechless.
"God damn it, it's already started! Why didn't you even give me a look? It's so scary!"
Fortune teller...what I want is the most realistic effect. Look, how realistic it is.
Xu Mingzhu came back to her senses instantly, and with a surprised smile on her face, she asked the gentleman in a trembling voice, "Sir, please tell me quickly, what does this hexagram say?"
After the fortune teller and Xu Mingzhu's performance, everyone around them looked at this side with curiosity and listened attentively to see what they had figured out.
The gentleman sat back in his chair and raised his voice to Xu Mingzhu, "Oh, young lady, you are a very blessed person! I calculated with my fingers, and you are destined to have four children, all sons!"
"This, this, this truly astonishes me. In all these years, I haven't been able to meet a woman as blessed as you."
"Today, I've finally opened my eyes! Furthermore, your four sons are all outstanding individuals, you're truly blessed! Furthermore, your young lady's horoscope indicates prosperity for her husband and children, and even her family. Oh, she brings prosperity to everyone she meets. Her horoscope is truly amazing."
"Miss, your blessing is yet to come!"
When the people watching the excitement heard the gentleman's words, they couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, this young lady is really lucky. She is so fertile and has four sons."
"Oh, I wish this was my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law couldn't even have one son, but she got four in one divination, all sons."
"No, I have to burn more incense to the Buddha later, and ask him to bless me to give birth to four sons."
Xu Mingzhu was delighted. This was exactly what she wanted. She wished everyone in the capital knew that she could give birth to four sons. Who would dare to compete with her?
The Huguo Temple was filled with devout believers who came to burn incense. Within half a day, all the noble ladies in the capital knew that Xu Mingzhu had been predicted to give birth to four sons at the Huguo Temple.
Those who knew Xu Mingzhu scolded her for being shameless and for using any means necessary to choose a concubine for the prince. Everyone knew why such remarks were being spread at this time.
Those who didn't know Xu Mingzhu were asking around to find out which lady was so reckless in promoting herself.
Those who wanted to compete for the position of Crown Prince's concubine couldn't come up with a way to dispel this rumor. They couldn't just spread the rumor that their daughter could give birth to eight sons.
In the end, everyone agreed that Xu Mingzhu was really cruel and didn't leave any chance for others to survive.
It depends on how she ends up in the future. The royal family is not so easy to deceive. If she is not careful, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.
Xu Mingzhu: I don’t care. I just want to be a concubine. I will decide whether to deceive the emperor or not after I become a concubine.
