Chapter 24 Heng Hexagram
The little maid was still annoyed and blamed herself, and Wanzhang had already entered the room by herself. As soon as she pushed the door and entered the house, she felt a cold air coming towards her, and she shivered all over her body. It's getting cooler, but how can it be colder indoors than outside?
There is no other reason for this, only the state of mind of people.
Sima Daofu sat with his back to the door, guarding the small window lattice that contained all her expectations, devoting a person's life to silent watch, pinning on passivity, blocking the sun, casting a long black shadow on the ground, the back was lonely and sad.
Hearing a noise behind her, she turned around very slowly like a puppet, her eyes still blank, and she looked at Wanzhang.
Wanzhang glanced at her, couldn't help but sympathize, but still turned her eyes sideways, she was too pitiful, too pathetic.
I seemed to clearly see in her a girl's vivid and vivid heart slowly being corroded by hopeless love, rotting day by day in waiting, gradually losing its vitality, only becoming a pool of blood, bloody appearance, too uncomfortable.
And like this, she still has a trace of expectation until today, her heart is dead, but she is not dead to Wang Xianzhi, Wanzhang has already guessed what she let her come to, she is still waiting, and she thinks that there is a possibility between them.
Sima Daofu smiled at her hard, got up, gave up his seat, and then said slowly:
"Miss Wanzhang, I'm sorry for you to go, I have something important to ask for."
Wanzhang faintly: "Princess, please speak." ”
Sima Daofu smiled again, but it was not so much a laugh, but not that it was self-deprecation, bitter and helpless self-deprecation:
"The girl is not a prophet, and she knows that the horse and the palace are respectful on the surface, but in fact, they are detached." Hearing this, Wanzhang couldn't help but be stunned, surprised that she was so outspoken, and uncovered her scars so calmly in front of others, without even wrinkling her eyebrows, thinking about it, and understanding, probably she has been sick for too long, and she just wants to find someone who can heal herself, so it doesn't matter if she uncovers the old scars again and again. lowered his head, and listened to her continue, "But this palace doesn't accept fate, I always have a hope, I feel that as long as I keep waiting, he will always have a day to turn back, as long as I wait ......"
Seeing that Sima Daofu was still looking at the figure in the distance in the window, his eyes were far away, and there was indeed a faint expectation under the thick mist, and even a trace of bitterness but with a soft and loving smile in his eyes, he already knew that this small window had become the sustenance of all her life and soul, which could not be changed, nor could she reduce the slightest bit of love.
Anyway, the matter has come to this point, and all others can do is to give her a pale hope, which is good, and it can be regarded as a kind of kindness.
There is a lover in the world, and Wanzhang can only try to enlighten: "The princess is affectionate and friendly, and the concubine is not an ignorant and ruthless person, so she must always change her mind." ”
"Really?" Sima Daofu smiled on his lips, his smile was lined with bead rings and emerald ornaments, and he was so weak that he could not break it at the touch of a button, but he soon recovered his unsolvable sadness, "But I did something wrong, I deposed his sweetheart from the palace, and later died of depression, although it was not my harm, but after all, I was inseparable from me for the rest of my life, although I married in with full of love, but I didn't know that Wei Que had a nest, Wei Gu occupied it, he hated me, he was destined to hate me for the rest of his life." ”
"Those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that the death of the Xi family has nothing to do with the princess, the seventh prince must understand, and even if he hates, but so many years have passed, a living person who is sincere to him is not as good as a cold dead man?"
In Wang Xianzhi's heart, it is precisely because Xi Daomao is dead, so Sima Daofu will never be able to compare with her, and the Xuan family will always live perfectly in his heart, and Ren is all the living women in the world who can't compare.
"The girl has a good heart, so she lied to me like this."
However, Sima Daofu is not a fool after all, hearing the meaning of kindness and persuasion in her words, as soon as Wanzhang wanted to defend himself, he heard her smile and said: "Look at me talking so much nonsense again, let you be tired of listening to it." In fact, I invited you today to ask you to help me calculate one thing, I heard that Miss Wanzhang is very good at divination, I don't know if I can calculate the marriage for this palace? ”
Wanzhang swallowed his saliva, it seems that his reputation is already outside, although it is only spread in a small area between the two families of Wang Xie for the time being, but these two families can completely represent the upper class society of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although they can only help people count marriages now, but at least the object is a princess, although it is a down-and-out princess, but after all, she is also a royal princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Sima Daofu's fingers clenched slightly, and his lips lightly spit out a few words: "I want to know...... Is it possible for me to be with him, with him......"
Wan Zhang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the result of this matter actually doesn't even need to be counted, Wan Zhang knows that Wang Xianzhi will never fall in love with Sima Daofu again, I'm afraid she herself knows it nine times out of ten, but she still doesn't want to give up, this is a princess's pride, but also a woman's paranoia.
But for the only hope of Sima Daofu's survival, I thought that I probably had to tell a white lie.
"Okay, I'll do the math for the princess." Wan Zhang smiled at her, stood up and took out three copper coins from her body and put them on the table, "Can you borrow three incense sticks from the princess?" ”
"Nature." Sima Daofu also got up and rushed out of the door to call someone, "Come on, get incense." ”
The little maid who came in listened to Sima Daofu's instructions and took out three fine incense sticks from the box, and soon after inserting them into the incense burner and lighting them, there was a curling aroma wafting out, and the whole room was full of incense.
The incense mist is swirling, the copper coins are thrown six times, and the hopes of other people's fate are all in their own hands, heavy and fragile.
The copper coins fell crisply again and again, probably from this moment, Yunzhang understood that her opinion of the princess had changed, in the past, she only blamed her for being a selfish person who did not care about the feelings of others because of love, and now she understands that she is just deeply rooted in a person's affection, desperate for everything, but all the consequences caused by this are not what she thinks, but she silently endured these blames, put away the dignity of a princess, and even any woman, and silently brewed this strong and fiery love into a bitter fruit buried in the deepest part of her heart.
She pitied the princess.
And it is precisely because of pity that it is necessary to lie.
The five hexagrams have been decided, and only one throw is left to determine the meaning of the hexagram, but the general idea of this hexagram has actually been decided, which is extremely poor, even if the best result is only the future is unknown, and it still depends on the creation.
Under Sima Daofu's bated breath, Wanzhang threw out the last copper coin, although he had eyebrows, he was still very nervous because of the influence of the client, his eyes were fixed on the traces of the three copper coins in the air, and he began to fall after reaching the highest place, and he didn't dare to blink, and years of experience had told her the final result.
Big bad luck.
Never.
A copper coin has landed, positive, second, reverse, third......
Bite......
Wan Zhang quickly pressed the last copper coin on the table one step at a time, and with the violent heartbeat of Sima Daofu and herself, she took a heavy breath and felt the burning gaze around her.
"Miss Wanzhang, this last ......"
"On the contrary, the sixth line is less yin."
She spoke very quickly because she was nervous, this was the first time she had lied in the divination, the master had said that the divination did not speak, and she did not know if she would be punished for breaking the precepts, but in order to leave Sima Daofu with a hope for her life, she was willing.
"Then the hexagram means ......"
Holding the three copper coins tightly in the palm of her hand, her hand felt hot, her chest was still beating suddenly, and the refreshing incense only made her feel a deep sense of guilt at the moment, so she forcibly suppressed and trembled and extinguished the three incense, and slowly walked to the table and sat down.
Sima Daofu was still staring at her hopefully, and Wanzhang tried his best to stop his hands from trembling, not daring to look at the other party's eyes: "This hexagram is a constant hexagram, the upper and lower Xun hexagrams, the thunder and the wind disperse, which means that yin and yang are more harmonious, eternal and lasting, the princess does not have to worry, everything can always be gained by perseverance." ”
"Really? So how long? Sima Daofu was convinced of her clumsy lie, and a glimmer of light appeared in her pale eyes, which showed how long she had been looking forward to this result, how much effort she had put into it, and how could people provoke her heart?
Wan Zhang didn't dare to look at this kind of hopeful eyes, don't look over: "As the saying goes, the world is impermanent, and you should seek the way to success in adversity." ”
"It doesn't hurt." The princess, who had been shrouded in gloomy haze for too long, smiled with youthful joy again, full of humble joy, looking at the small window, just like the son of the year, just like the flower that has been out of water for too long will bloom vigorously as long as it encounters a little rain and dew, "As long as there is hope, it is enough, no matter how long I wait, I will wait for a lifetime." ”
Sima Daofu looked so happy, but Wanzhang couldn't stand it anymore, and he pretended to leave in advance, for fear that seeing this fragile joy would be shattered at the touch, and then it would only be a double disappointment. Looking down at the copper coin that had been tightly pinched in her hand, she had lied after all, wishful thinking for Sima Daofu, but she didn't know whether this was good or bad for her.
Well, if it is good in the future, then let her bear the punishment of lying, and if it is broken, let her bear the hatred of Sima Daofu.
As a diviner, he is destined to be responsible for what he has said.
Coming back from Sima Daofu's courtyard, Wanzhang was still full of pressure and sorrow in her heart, even Xiao Yunzhi saw her heavy thoughts, not to mention that she was as delicate as Xie Daoyun, but it was precisely because Xie Daoyun was smart and exquisite, but he didn't ask her more, Yunzhi and Liu Wu wanted to ask and were prevented, and only thoughtfully told her to go to rest earlier, Wanzhang also understood Xie Daoyun's kindness, and went to the room with a grateful look at her, and stayed on the bed silently for a long time, thinking that retribution would be retribution, anyway, his life was hard, so he fell asleep hard.
