Xiao Mingyue lay on her bed and fell asleep in a daze when she thought about it, and had a very special dream, in which she seemed to see herself, she was sitting on a throne, and below was a group of men, they were brutally fighting each other, but in the dream, she suddenly said to herself on the throne: "What are you still sitting here?" Why don't you stop them? ”

Hearing this, he got up and shouted to the man below, "Stop!" The men seemed to listen to her, and they all put down their weapons and looked down at themselves.

At this time, his body seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of mist, until he could not see anything, and seemed to be in the air, and then he saw that he seemed to be about to fall to the ground, so he shouted and woke up with fright.

"What a strange dream." Xiao Mingyue said.

After thinking about it carefully, the situation in the dream just now still clearly came to mind, and I felt very surprised, but I didn't think much about it, so I decided to go to the temple with Amber tomorrow to have a stick of incense and ask the gods for a sign.

The next day, he came to Jiming Temple with only amber.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the temple, they saw a group of people gathered around, as if pointing at someone, so they and Amber stepped forward and asked an aunt next to them, "What's the matter?" ”

The aunt said: "An old god stick, who stole other people's things, is being beaten!" ”

Xiao Mingyue listened and looked inside curiously, and indeed two men were punching and kicking an old man, scolding in their mouths.

Amber pulled Xiao Mingyue and said, "Miss, let's leave it alone." ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "Didn't you see that it was an old man, how could he stand it?" ”

So he squeezed forward and said to the two big men, "Stop!"

The two big men turned around when they heard this, and said to Xiao Mingyue: "Little girl, don't be nosy. ”

Xiao Mingyue said again: "How much money this old man took from you, I will give it to you for him." ”

The two big men looked at each other after hearing this, and one of them said with a big beard: "This old thing deceived us and stole five taels of silver from us, can you pay it back for him?" ”

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she said to Amber: "Give them all the money." ”

Amber listened, so she took out the money bag, Xiao Mingyue took out an ingot, and said, "This is enough, right?" ”

After speaking, he threw it to Dahan, and Dahan saw that Xiao Mingyue really gave him money, so he immediately changed his smile and said: "Enough is enough, Miss is really a living Bodhisattva." ”

He said to the old man lying on the ground: "Old fellow, this time you are cheap, don't let our brother catch you again next time." ”

After saying that, he took the money and left.

Xiao Mingyue walked over and looked at the old man who was still on the ground, and asked with concern, "Is the old man okay?" ”

asked Amber to step forward and help the old man up, and after Amber helped the old man up, Xiao Mingyue took a closer look and recognized that it was the old man who was telling his fortune behind the osmanthus tree at that time.

Then he said happily: "Old man, it's you, do you remember me?" ”

The old man raised his head lazily, looked at Xiao Mingyue, and said weakly: "It's a girl, I said that we will meet again if we are destined." ”

Xiao Mingyue hurriedly said: "How did the old man fall to this? ”

The old man said lazily: "Hey, I have no children and no daughters alone, and now I am in a recession for fortune telling, so I have no choice but to rely on some petty theft to get by, and now I have been hungry for two days." ”

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she was very pitiful and said, "It's so pitiful, then I'll take you to eat, okay?" ”

As soon as the old man heard that he was eating, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Okay, okay, then I want to eat Baoyuexuan's salted duck." ”

Amber stood aside and said, "You old man, don't kick your nose in the face." ”

The old man said, "It was your young lady who said she wanted to invite me to eat, why did you say me?" ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "Okay, Amber, the old man hasn't eaten for several days, so we'll meet his request." ”

After speaking, he called the coachman and took the old man to Baoyuexuan.

Amber asked in the car, "Miss, then let's not go to the incense?" ”

Xiao Mingyue looked at the old man and said to Amber: "It's important to take the old man to eat." ”

Going around and around, I passed through the downtown and came to the door of Baoyuexuan.

Xiao Er stopped the old man and said, "Beggars can't go in." ”

The old man retorted, "Who do you say are beggars, are there beggars who come to eat in carriages?" ”

Xiao Mingyue explained: "This old man is with us. ”

Xiao Er saw Xiao Mingyue say this, so he invited the old man in.

At the table, the old man ordered a lot of big fish and meat, and ordered two servings of saltwater duck alone, and said to Xiao Mingyue: "I'll take one away later, you won't mind, right?" ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said, "It's okay, if you like it, bring more back." ”

When the old man heard this, he said with a smile: "The girl has something unpleasant again?" ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "Don't hide it from your old man, the marriage you calculated for me before has really come true." And the two paintings you left me, thanks to them, my relatives and I have been able to turn evil into good fortune many times. But now, I'm in trouble again. ”

The old man said: "The old man's marriage will not be wrong, not to mention that it is a person with a good fortune like the girl, as for the seal I left for the girl, it is just the old man's scribble, since he helped the girl, it means that the girl is brilliant." This time, the girl must have come for marriage again, right? ”

Xiao Mingyue listened and said: "Exactly, the old man is really like a god." ”

The old man gnawed on the duck leg and said, "This is not expected, a young lady like a girl with a beautiful face and a noble background must have come to the temple for her own marriage." ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "I can't hide it, this time I am trying to escape from marriage. ”

The old man smacked his lips and said: "Other girls are all trying to get married, let themselves marry as soon as possible, the girl is indeed blooming peach blossoms, and the marriage continues, my old man is a little envious." ”

Xiao Mingyue thought that she couldn't tell the old man her true identity, so she said: "I am a daughter of an outsider, and now there is a person with a very background who comes to my house to ask for relatives, this person is very difficult to mess with, and has a lot of power, I hope that I can refuse his proposal and protect my relatives." ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "The girl doesn't need to worry too much, if the girl really doesn't want to marry that person, it is already wise to think of coming to the temple today, but sometimes even if it is a high god, sometimes it is difficult to make a decision." ”

Xiao Mingyue heard this and hurriedly said, "I still hope that the old man will give you instructions." ”

The old man smiled: "Since the girl considers the other party's face and the safety of her relatives, she can only sacrifice herself." ”

Xiao Mingyue hesitated and asked, "What does the old man mean?" ”

The old man said: "There are often female disciples in the temple who practice on behalf of them, either to ward off illness and disaster, or to pray for the blessing of their families, or to be hurt by love, with the blessing of the gods, aren't they and their families safe?" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Mingyue said thoughtfully: "The old man is suggesting that I use the name of cultivation to avoid this marriage?" ”

The old man said, "It's the girl's talent and understanding, but my old man didn't say anything." ”

Xiao Mingyue thought of this dilemma now, if she was close, she had just met the king of the party, and she didn't like him, she would definitely not be happy; If they insist on refusing, it will inevitably lead to contradictions between the two countries. It's better to find a reason to say that you can't have a family for the time being, but you can let the other party dispel the idea. ”

So, he smiled and said to the old man: "Thank you for reminding the old man, I didn't know the old man's name last time." ”

The old man ate the meat in his mouth and said, "Lao Suo's surname is Li, you can call me Old Man Li!" ”

Xiao Mingyue listened and hurriedly said, "Then how can it be done, why don't I call you Uncle Li in the future." ”

The old man was drinking, and when he heard Xiao Mingyue call him so, he said, "The girl looks up to my old man, and my old man is happy whatever the girl's name is." ”

After speaking, he said: "Thanks to the girl's rescue today, otherwise my old man's old bones would have been dismantled by those two people." ”

After Xiao Mingyue heard this, she took out the money bag, took out a gold ingot and some bits and pieces of silver, and said, "Uncle will use this money to do some small business in the future, and you can also live a living, don't drink and steal money anymore." ”

Amber said on the side: "Yes, our young lady pities you old, and you should be self-reliant to be worthy of my young lady's help." ”

The old man took the money and smiled and said: "I'm old, I don't have any ambition, but it's just a day by day, today I was lucky to meet the girl, it is my old man's creation, and the girl will be rich and noble in the future." ”

Amber listened and said, "That's nature, but my young lady is ...... today?"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Xiao Mingyue.

"Amber, you go check out." Xiao Mingyue said.

Amber almost missed her mouth, so she quickly took the rest of the money and went to the shopkeeper's checkout.

Xiao Mingyue asked tentatively: "I have shallow knowledge, but I heard that when I opened the country of Daliang, there was a divine military master with Emperor Wu, named Li Nuo, who was proficient in Qiankun divination, yin and yang gossip, and knew things like a god, known as Zhuge Liang second, and retired after destroying the former Qi, and since then he has been incognito and does not ask about court affairs." I wonder if my uncle has ever heard of it? ”

The old man saw Xiao Mingyue and said: "What kind of military advisor is not a military advisor, the old man is just a fortune teller, how can you know this person?" ”

He also said: "But although the world only has a pair of skins, no one can say what is behind this skin, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, just like the girl, your future fate has already been predestined, and the girl will know in the future." ”

Xiao Mingyue wanted to ask more, but the old man didn't want to say more, so he left with the remaining saltwater duck.

On the way back, Amber said, "Does the young lady really want to go to the temple to practice as the old man said?" ”

Xiao Mingyue said: "This is the best way now, after a while, the king of the party will completely dispel this idea, and we will come up with a reason." ”

Amber frowned and said, "Then if the king of the party has never dispelled his thoughts, will the young lady be in the temple all the time?" ”

Xiao Mingyue smiled when she heard this: "No, unless he is a dead eye." ”

So, when he returned to the palace, he told Emperor Tianjian and Empress Dowager Hu about it, although Emperor Tianjian and Empress Dowager Hu were reluctant, but for the sake of Xiao Mingyue's happiness, they sent many palace people to serve.

Emperor Tianjian replied to the king of the party, saying that Xiao Mingyue wanted to go out of the palace to practice in the temple and pray for the queen mother, so he refused.
