Noble Lady

Waiting for Xue Chenyu and his group to leave the Taoist temple.

The middle-aged Taoist priest Wu called the disobedient Zhang Songqing to his side again.

"Why do you want to tell that girl's fortune? Didn't I tell you not to do such fortune-telling for anyone casually?"

Zhang Songqing pursed his lips in grievance and said, "Because, because the lots she and her sister drew were too weird."

"They were both predicting the fortunes of their families, and the rise and fall of their clans, but their predictions were completely opposite. I really want to know why."

Taoist Priest Wu thought of the copper coin he had swept away. He was silent for a moment before he said, "What kind of lot did they draw?"

Zhang Songqing pushed the lot they drew to his master.

"Time and fate are so absurd, I am wandering and tossing around." He said, "This is what my sister drew."

"There will come a time when we will ride the wind and waves, and sail across the vast ocean." Zhang Songqing couldn't help but make a bitter face: "This is what my sister drew."

One is bad luck, the other is that there is still hope.

But they are one family.

There must be a reason for drawing such a lot.

Taoist Priest Wu touched his chin and fell into silence for a long time.

"That's really strange. Could it be that they weren't thinking of the same thing when they drew the lots?"

Zhang Songqing shook his head. "Master, you should have seen how the master and servants were positioned."

This made Taoist Wu silent again.

After a long moment, he sighed and said, "I see. The positions of the two sisters and the three maids behind them are exactly the same as the hexagram."

"Water and marsh are trapped. With Dui on top and Kan on the bottom, it represents the pride of the superior and the danger of the inferior."

"Right, right, how scary." Zhang Songqing wrinkled his delicate face into a ball like a bun.

"Master, you've said before that maintaining chastity in poverty won't necessarily earn people's trust. And the more fallacies you spread, the more you'll sink into the quagmire."

Taoist Priest Wu asked him, "How do we solve this problem?"

"This is the perfect opportunity to judge one's integrity. No matter how formidable the obstacles, a gentleman should still demonstrate a magnanimous spirit and relentlessly pursue the truth. The road ahead is long and arduous..."

Zhang Songqing stood with his hands behind his back, imitating his master's steps in an air of old-fashionedness. Then he paused and looked back.

"Only those who endure hardships and hardships can be considered as true gentlemen."

Taoist Priest Wu: “…”

I asked you to remember the principle, not to imitate my actions.

The key is that he has learned it well and it looks pretty good, which is embarrassing.

"So, in your opinion, what will happen to these sisters?" Taoist Wu pretended not to be embarrassed and changed the subject.

Zhang Songqing pouted and shook his head. "It's strange. They should be in a huge predicament, but that sister has an even stranger power. I can't explain it, but I think she can do it."

What it means is that she might be the one who breaks the deadlock.

However, Kun is the most powerful of the four evil hexagrams, and its degree of difficulty is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

To break out of that extremely dangerous and difficult-to-escape trap, she would have to possess some kind of powerful force.

Taoist Wu did not refute, but became more silent.

Zhang Songqing has had an outstanding talent for divination since he was young, a skill he almost had from the womb.

But excessive wisdom will lead to harm.

He was afraid that the child was too precocious and would bring disaster upon himself, so he did not dare to really take him in.

Just let him guard the fortune-telling box here and help people solve their problems and answer their questions, so that he can accumulate some merit.

Therefore, he repeatedly warned Zhang Songqing not to tell fortunes for others at will.

Especially those with serious causal relationships.

But he had been feeling uneasy since he left the Taoist temple, and the ox cart he was riding in almost overturned on the way, so he quickly turned back.

It just happened to coincide with the divination that Zhang Songqing had made.

Although he didn't know what the result of the divination would be, he could feel that if the divination was finally determined, it would definitely cause a huge uproar, and Zhang Songqing would have to bear the consequences.

The girl just now was involved in something that must be extremely serious.

It’s a huge relationship, a huge cause and effect.

That's why the lots she and her sister drew would be extremely subversive.

After much consideration, Taoist Master Wu made a difficult decision.

"Zhang Songqing, haven't you always wanted to formally enter the sect? Go follow that girl. She's your destined one, and she'll lead you into the sect."

Zhang Songqing: "Ah? But that girl isn't from the Taoist sect."

"Then don't you feel the power of all living beings in her?"

"Oh, I see." Zhang Songqing's eyes lit up, and his already bright eyes became even brighter. "I was wondering why she had such a comfortable feeling."

Taoist Wu stroked his beard and said in a serious tone, "That's it. Now, do you still doubt my decision?"

Zhang Songqing shook his head like a rattle.

Then he picked up the fortune sticks, copper coins, etc. on the table, wrapped it with the tablecloth, tied it up, threw it on his shoulder, and ran out of the Taoist temple swiftly.

Finally, he turned back and said, "Master, I'm going to look for my destined person. Please take good care of yourself while I'm away from the temple."

Taoist Priest Wu, "I understand. You yourself..."

"Then I'll be leaving. Take care, Master." Before he could finish, Zhang Songqing had already left.

Taoist Priest Wu: “…”

"It's true. Now that you have found your destined partner, you no longer need me as your master." Taoist Priest Wu smiled bitterly.

But I don’t know what he was thinking about, his eyes suddenly darkened and a look of compassion appeared on his face again.

As the saying goes, God is jealous of talented people.

"That girl has an extraordinary power. Maybe she can really change your fate of dying young."

Having said that, Taoist Wu sighed, put his hands behind his back and walked into the hall unsteadily.

At that moment, he could not have imagined that Zhang Songqing's departure would make him the only genius in the history of Dasheng, and indeed the entire imperial dynasty, to be appointed Imperial Preceptor at the age of twelve. ...

……

After coming out of the Taoist temple, Xue Chenyu had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Before, she always felt a little hesitant.

Since she was reborn, she was determined to divorce He Minzhi and did many things, which led to many things developing rapidly differently from her previous life.

So she doesn't know what the future holds.

She only knew that the wealth of the Marquis' Mansion was still enviable, so she tried every possible way to protect her family.

But sometimes she would think that if she knew where the road ahead was, she would walk more firmly.

That's why she made up her mind to come to the Taoist temple today.

When she met the young Taoist priest, although she didn't have her fortune told, she had a hunch that they would meet again.

Although the young Taoist priest named Zhang Songqing is young, he has a power that people can trust.

She believed that this person had the answers she wanted.

"Let's go, Luoluo, let's go buy some food." Taking a deep breath, Xue Chenyu took Xue Luoyan's hand and walked towards the market.

Xue Luoyan: "Not only food, I also want to buy rouge, powder and jewelry!"

Xue Chenyu couldn't help but pause, "Does our Luoluo have to start dressing up too?"

"Sister Taotao said she wants to invite me to her birthday party next month. She made me a new dress, but I don't have any jewelry to match it, and I'm afraid it would be disrespectful." The little girl said seriously.

Xue Chenyu touched her head and said, "Sister is worried about you. You are so focused on practicing martial arts that you won't care about your clothes anymore."

"That's different. Martial arts training is one thing, and being a female general is my lifelong pursuit, but I can't be without even basic etiquette."

"Otherwise, people will laugh at us and say that we raised a daughter who has no rules."

These words were well-reasoned and Xue Chenyu felt relieved. "Our Luoluo has really grown up and can even reason with her elder sister."

"Well, let's go pick out some jewelry to go with the clothes I gave Luoluo."

The author of the hexagrams and other things all looked up information on Baidu, so it is not authentic and is only necessary for the plot. Don't argue, because if you argue, you are right.
