In the courtyard from the front, it is not big, but there is a backyard in the back, as well as a two-storey small building, which is also an ancient building, carved beams and painted buildings, and even the curtains and door curtains are antique bamboo curtains, which are very exquisite.

Du Linlin took Li Zi'an and Mu Chuntao to a room on the second floor, which was a bedroom with a flower bed and an embroidery frame under the window, on which there was an unfinished embroidery work, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks.

Inside, there is a hanger under the wall, on which are hung a number of Hanfu.

There was a faint fragrance in the air, the same as the smell of Du Linlin's body.

Smell the fragrance and know the master, this room is Du Linlin's room.

Li Zi'an said: "Lin Lin, this place is really good, do you often live here?"

Du Linlin said: "I have been buying this house for a few years, but I don't come to live there often, and when I am in a bad mood, I come here to live for a few days and see the sea. ”

She walked over to the window and pushed it open.

Open the window to see the sea.

The white clouds, the blue sea, and the surging beaches are as beautiful as an oil painting.

"If only I had a place like this, where I fell asleep in the sea breeze at night and the waves woke me up in the morning. Mu Chuntao couldn't hide the love in her heart.

Li Zi'an quietly remembered this sentence.

He has always wanted to give Mu Chuntao a gift that can express his heart, and the gift must be of sufficient weight, but Mu Chuntao lacks nothing, what he has always given is himself, as well as his mastery, but he always feels that it is not enough. Peach's words gave him a direction, pay attention to it in the future, if you find a suitable place, you will buy it for her, and it will not be in vain that people have paid so much.

From now on, you have to save money for your own house.

Du Linlin walked over to the dresser under one of the walls, reached out and pulled open a drawer, and then took out an iron box from the drawer.

The iron box was rusty, and I could vaguely tell that it was a box of cookies, very old, and it looked at least ten or twenty years old.

Du Linlin came to Li Zi'an with the box and opened the box.

Inside the iron box was a yellowed photograph and a yellowed piece of letterhead. The photo is placed on letterhead paper and can be seen at a glance. The photo shows a beautiful young woman holding a baby. The baby was a lovely boy.

Li Zixin was a little curious about why Du Linlin showed him such a photo, but he didn't rush to ask, but reached out and took out the photo and the letterhead.

On the paper was a date, November 11, 1994, 4:21 p.m.

It's just such a date, and nothing else.

Li Zi'an looked at the woman carefully, looked at the child, looked at the date on the photo, and gradually became thoughtful.

Du Linlin said: "Brother Zi'an, I have been troubled by an incident recently and have been upset, so I called you to invite me to give me a divination, I don't say what I ask for, what you have divined, okay?"

Li Zi'an nodded, then stretched out his right hand in front of Du Linlin, palm up: "You close your eyes and draw freely in my palm, if I tell you to stop, you stop." ”

Du Linlin put a finger on Li Zi'an's palm, and then closed his eyes and drew casually.

Li Zi'an concentrated.

The lazy portable stove woke up, and the green smoke curled.

There is something in the heart, and the hexagram has something to answer.

The time of a minute is running quickly. Li Zi'an said, "Stop." ”

Du Linlin stopped and picked up the finger from Li Zi'an's palm. She didn't ask anything, just looked at Li Zi'an.

Mu Chuntao also looked at Li Zi'an, for her, when he was divining the troubled water, he had a very mysterious charm, and she liked to watch the troubled water divination the most.

Li Zi'an closed his eyes.

The hexagram appeared, and it was a woman in a red robe riding a horse carrying the sun to the west.

In fact, all the hexagrams are presented by the Great Lazy Portable Furnace, and the person seeking the hexagram collects them one by one, and then generates hexagrams and hexagrams.

What is the principle of divination?

There is no way to know.

The hexagram emerged: Zhaojun was unwilling, the northern mandarin duck and the southern duck were paired together, the old father favored sons over women, and Mulan's dream finally came to naught.

Li Zi'an has read this hexagram, and he has a score in his heart.

He opened his eyes.

"Brother Zi'an, what kind of hexagram?" Du Linlin still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.

Li Zi'an didn't answer, but opened the alloy toolbox, then took out a notebook with a cowhide cover from the toolbox, and then wrote the hexagram on the first page of the notebook with a pen and handed it to Du Linlin.

The master is becoming more and more detail-oriented.

In the past, when he was just starting out, he dictated hexagrams.

Now, he writes the hexagrams in a beautiful little notebook, which is clear to the seeker at a glance, and he also avoids homophones.

It's just that the word is really not good, and you have to practice it well when you go back.

Mu Chuntao also leaned over to take a look, but she, like Du Linlin, couldn't see it.

"Brother Zi'an, what does this mean?" Du Linlin asked.

Li Zi'an opened his mouth to explain the hexagram: "You drew a picture of Zhaojun out of the plug in my hands, and the first sentence of this hexagram is also that Zhaojun is unwilling to go out of the plug, and someone is proposing to you." ”

Du Linlin was stunned on the spot, she didn't say a word about it, but the master said it in one bite, it's amazing!

Li Zi'an continued: "The latter sentence cuts off the result of this matter, the northern mandarin duck and the southern duck are paired together, that person is a northerner, this matter is estimated to be successful." ”

"What about the last two sentences?" Du Linlin was a little anxious.

Li Zi'an said: "Your father's patriarchal ideology is heavy, Mulan's dream will eventually come to naught, Hua Mulan's joining the army on behalf of her father is a very beautiful story, this Mulan also refers to you, you want to take over the business of the family owner from your father's hands, and fight in the mall instead of him, but this is just a dream of yours, it has become untrue." ”

Du Linlin was silent, his expression gloomy.

Li Zi'an made a summary: "Zhaojun is out of the fortress, that is the woman given by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu Hu Han Xie Shan Yu, and the marriage is a political marriage." This historical story appears in your hexagrams and hexagrams, and you are that Wang Zhaojun. The person who proposes to you should also be a son of a famous family, and your father will agree for the benefit of the head of the family. ”

"It didn't matter if he agreed, I had to say yes. Du Linlin said angrily.

Li Zi'an continued: "Your father is patriarchal, but you are his only daughter, he has no choice, but he wants to marry you to that wealthy son and marry to the north." It's not stated in the hexagram, but I guess he actually has a son, right?"

Du Linlin looked at Li Zi'an, his eyes were full of surprise and admiration.

Li Zi'an also looked at Du Linlin: "As soon as I came, you showed me this photo, and then asked for a hexagram, the child in this photo is your father's son, right?"

"Brother Zi'an, you are like a god, can you guess who this kid is?" Du Linlin's eyes were hot.

Li Zi'an was silent for a moment before saying, "Do you really want me to say it?"

Du Linlin nodded.

Li Zi'an sighed: "Listen to his words and watch his deeds, isn't this clear, this kid is Du Wu." ”

"Huh?" Mu Chuntao's surprise fell, "Old ...... Teacher, aren't you talking about that apprentice of yours?"

It's almost a little bit, so it's called my husband, but fortunately, I'm a little anxious and wise, and I changed it to a teacher.

However, Du Linlin didn't have the heart to catch Mu Chuntao's speech disease at the moment, her whole mind was on Li Zi'an's hexagram: "Brother Zi'an, you are really a god, I was just suspicious, but when I heard you say this, I was sure that it was Du Wu." But my suspicions are well-founded, Brother Zi'an, how do you know?"

Li Zi'an said: "Of course I also have some basis, Uncle Du loves Du Wu very much, and I don't give Uncle Du much poison extraction ointment, but he is reluctant to use it himself, and he has to take a bath for Du Wu." In addition, Uncle Du asked Du Wu to worship me as a teacher, which also wanted Du Wu to learn well. In addition, I have seen the way Uncle Du looked at Du Wu, it was not the eyes of a nephew, and it was not even the same as the way he looked at you. ”

Du Linlin smiled bitterly: "Can it be the same, Du Wu is a son, and I am a daughter." He pulled out the ointment for Du Wu, but he didn't even ask me if I wanted it, I didn't want to pull out the ointment, I just wanted to listen to a warm word, I just wanted a little father's love, is this too much?"

Li Zi'an is not easy to interject, and it is not easy to comfort her.

This incident also put him in an embarrassing situation, on one side he was a friend, and on the other hand, he was a disciple, who to help and who not to help?

However, he had some sympathy for Du Linlin in his heart, she had paid so much for the Du family, and even Du Zhishan was able to come back from the ghost gate, which was also her credit. However, instead of being grateful to her, Du Zhishan wanted to arrange a marriage for her with a family alliance. To be honest, Lao Du is a bit too much to do, but from his point of view, he can't say it.

In fact, Du Linlin's experience is very similar to Yu Meilin's experience, good enough, ambitious and ambitious, but she is a woman. This is a world dominated by men, and a woman often needs to put in more effort and pay more for her to be successful.

Not to mention a wealthy woman, even an ordinary working woman is the same, she finally struggled to a desired position, but as soon as she got married and had children, most of that position was gone.

"What are you going to do?" asked her.

It's not good to say nothing, what she needs most now is comfort and encouragement.

Du Linlin shook his head, and a trace of bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I don't know, my heart is very messed up now." ”

Li Zi'an said softly: "Don't be sad, if you need my help with anything, just ask." ”

Mu Chuntao winked at Li Zi'an, but unfortunately Li Zi'an didn't see it.

She is in a hurry, it is your apprentice who wants to inherit Lao Du's career and property, do you want to help your apprentice's sister deal with your apprentice?

If so, Master, what do you want to do?

"Brother Zi'an, are you really willing to help me?" Du Linlin looked at Li Zi'an, his eyes were hot.

Li Zi'an actually wanted to take back the words he just said, but what he said was equivalent to spilling water, so he had to nod his head stiffly: "Well, of course I do." ”

Du Linlin smiled.
