Chapter 30: Clever Tips
At this critical moment, Lu Yuting hurriedly ran in.
"Uncle, I heard that Yurong is sick?" Lu Yuting asked Lu Yixiang anxiously.
"Yu Ting, you're here, yes, Yurong she's sick."
"I was fine a few days ago, why did I suddenly get sick?" Lu Yuting was puzzled.
"Maybe I was scared by the thieves." Mrs. Lu hurriedly explained.
"Then I'll go in and see her."
Yu Ting said, walking towards Yurong's house. He didn't bother to look at Ichiro Watanabe, and was about to open the door, but was pushed aside by Ichiro Watanabe.
"Who are you that dare to break into Miss Yurong's room?"
"Oh, Mr. Watanabe Ichiro, this is my cousin, Lu Yuting, and Yurong is his daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door." Yu Lin came down from the upper floor.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Yu Lin say this, including Lu Yuting.
"My eldest brother was engaged to Yurong a few years ago, and he was supposed to wait for the Chinese New Year this year to do a happy event, but my second uncle and my sister-in-law were killed in the bombing of Guangzhou, and my eldest brother is now wearing filial piety, so this marriage was delayed, and when my eldest brother's three-year filial piety period expired, the marriage was done. My eldest brother is still counting on Yurong to inherit the lineage of our Lu family. β
"In this way, this marriage has not been completed yet, since this is the case, then Yurong cannot be counted as his wife." Although Ichiro Watanabe was surprised, he was still stubborn.
"Mr. Watanabe Ichiro, this is indeed the case, Yurong has already promised to Yu Ting, so one daughter cannot marry twice. I also hope that Mr. Watanabe understands the customs of the Chinese. Lu Yixiang felt that the lie made up by Yu Lin was a strategy to retreat from the enemy, so he hurriedly responded and stepped forward to explain to Ichiro Watanabe.
"Miss Yurong hasn't married for a day, so I still have a chance." Watanabe Ichiro spoke resolutely, as if he had a sense of vowing not to give up until he reached his goal.
"Mr. Watanabe Ichiro, now that we have our own opinions, no one can convince anyone, otherwise, let God decide." Yu Lin continued slowly: "Look, is this fair and reasonable? β
"What do you mean?" Ichiro Watanabe felt that he had a chance, so he was very interested in Lu Yulin's proposal.
"Yes, we Chinese, we attach great importance to marriage, so before marriage, it is often necessary to measure the birth date of both men and women, if these eight characters are combined, it means that this marriage is very happy and smooth, but if these eight characters do not match, this marriage may have problems, light, the husband and wife quarrel every day after marriage, and the relationship between husband and wife exists in name only; Seriously, after marriage, there will be various disasters, such as husband and wife, or father and mother, son and daughter, and if you don't get it right, there will be a disaster of blood and light, and the worry of extinction. β
"Is this birthday really so important?" After listening to Lu Yulin's set of explanations about the eight characters of birth, Ichiro Watanabe was skeptical.
"Of course, this has a history of thousands of years in China, and I can't help but believe it." Yulin's words made Watanabe feel that these eight characters were a very mysterious thing, and he even suspected that his marriage to Yoko might be because of the incompatibility of the eight characters, which caused his married life to fail.
"And how do you measure it?" Ichiro Watanabe asked curiously.
"Actually, it's very simple, just write your and Yurong's birthdays on paper and find a fortune teller to measure it."
"Oh, yes, it's not complicated, my birthday is the 35th year of the Meiji era, that is, March 15, 1902."
"Okay, I'll write it to you." Yu Lin took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote Watanabe Ichiro's birthday on the note.
Then, he took out two other pieces of paper: "I will also write the birthdays of Yurong and Brother Yuting." Okay, Brother Yu Ting, and you, Mr. Watanabe Ichiro, go outside and find a fortune teller to test it now. What do you think? β
"Okay, let's go now." After Ichiro Watanabe finished speaking, he walked out of the Lu Mansion.
"Big brother, let's go." Yu Lin pulled Yu Ting's hand, who was standing on the side in a daze.
"Yulin, can this work?" Yu Ting looked dazed.
"Okay, don't you know if you go? Alright, come with me. β
Yu Lin took Yu Ting's hand and went out together.
Lu Yixiang looked at the backs of the three of them and muttered to himself: "What is Yulin doing?" β
The three of them walked along the street looking for a fortune teller.
"Hey, just ahead, I saw it." Yu Lin pointed to the front and beckoned the two of them: "I saw the fortune teller's fortune teller." β
The three of them walked in the direction of the fortune-telling flag, and came to the corner of the street, where sat a thin old man of fifty or sixty years old, wearing a melon-skin hat, a gray robe, and sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, who was constantly shouting: "Look, measure, divination, fortune-telling." The fortune-telling banner next to it reads "Divination and Fortune Telling".
Yu Lin and his party came to the fortune telling booth.
"Sir, do you want to see the physiognomy or tell the fortune?" The fortune teller asked Lu Yulin.
"I'd like to ask you to test your birthday."
"Okay, please give me the eight characters."
Yu Lin handed the three notes to the fortune teller.
"How are there three?" The fortune teller muttered.
"That's right, this one, it's the woman's birthday, these two are these two gentlemen, please test, which gentleman this girl has a better marriage with."
"Oh, okay, let me do the math."
The fortune teller pinched his fingers and calculated, and at the same time there were words in his mouth. After a while, he picked up Ichiro Watanabe's birthday eight.
"Who is this birthday eight?"
"It's mine." Ichiro Watanabe responded.
"This gentleman was born in the Year of the Tiger, and the woman was born in the Year of the Monkey, as the saying goes, the tiger is guilty of meeting the monkey. The tiger and the monkey rush against each other, and it is good to avoid it. β
"Is this true?" When Ichiro Watanabe heard this result, his heart was half cold.
"Believe it, don't believe it, marriage is predestined, from the moment you were born, God has arranged your fate, you only know your life, in order to adjust your luck in a timely manner, follow the trend, in order to turn evil into auspicious, auspicious stars, if you go against the trend, then disobey the will of heaven, there will be unforeseen circumstances, and even killing."
"Then does this gentleman's birthday coincide with this girl?" Ichiro Watanabe asked impatiently.
"This gentleman is a cow, and he is a match made in heaven for a monkey. Although I dare not say that I am rich and noble, the two can raise their eyebrows after marriage, respect each other like guests, and bless their descendants, which should be said to be a good marriage. β
Ichiro Watanabe suddenly looked like a deflated ball, looking depressed.
"I really didn't expect that my marriage with Miss Yurong was not favored by God, since this is the case, it is difficult to disobey God's will." Watanabe Ichiro turned to Yu Ting: "Mr. Lu, you are really blessed to be able to marry such a good girl as Yurong." β
"Then let's go back." Yu Lin paid the hexagram money, and then, pulling Yu Ting back, Watanabe Ichiro walked behind like a defeated rooster.
Looking at the distant backs of the three of them, the fortune teller took off his sunglasses, tore off his beard, took off his melon skin hat, and exhaled with relief, this fortune teller was none other than Uncle Yao.
Watanabe Ichiro returned to the Lu Mansion with a solemn expression, as if he had been beaten by frost, and the spirit that was bound to be won just now had already disappeared without a trace.
"Sorry to interrupt me." Watanabe Ichiro bowed to Lu Yixiang and Mrs. Lu, and then waved his hand: "Open the way." Several Japanese soldiers hurriedly formed a team and followed Watanabe Ichiro back.
Lu Yixiang and Mrs. Lu, as well as Yurong and Yu Ting, all looked at all this in front of them inexplicably, and then everyone focused their eyes on Yu Lin. Yulin shrugged his shoulders and whistled.
"Everything is providential." After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs.
Everyone stared at his back blankly, looking at each other, inexplicable, and puzzled.
Everyone moved their eyes from Yu Lin's back to Yu Rong and Yu Ting.
As soon as Yu Rong and Yu Ting's eyes made contact, they immediately fled.
"Yurong." Yu Ting shouted: "Today's incident happened suddenly, I γγγγγγ I was also in a hurry to push the boat, a lot of offense, I hope Yurong you don't mind too much. β
"Young Master Yuting, what are you talking about, if you hadn't arrived in time today to help me break the siege, I'm afraid I would really have to be robbed by the Japanese to be his bride, then I won't die, in fact, I already have scissors in my hand in the house, in case this Watanabe Ichiro rushes in, I will die with him."
"Yurong, you are really a chaste woman." Yu Ting is full of respect for Yurong.
"Fortunately, you came, which is equivalent to saving my life. Before I could kowtow to you and thank you, you apologized to me instead, how did you make me deal with myself? β
"Yes, thanks to Yu Ting's timely arrival today, otherwise I would have died." Mrs. Lu remembered the scene just now, and she still had palpitations: "When Ichiro Watanabe was about to draw a knife just now, I really thought that I was going to die at his hands today." β
"yes, my heart is in my throat." Lu Yixiang still has a pounding heart when he thinks about it now.
"If Ah Cheng hadn't informed me in time, I'm afraid something really would have happened today."
"Ah Cheng? It turned out that Ah Cheng informed you. Ah Cheng has really made a great contribution today. β
Ah Cheng scratched his head: "It was the young master who asked me to sneak out of the back door quietly to inform Young Master Yuting." β
"Yulin was prescient." Lu Yixiang was very appreciative of his son's performance today.
At this time, Uncle Yao came in with a package.
"Uncle Yao, where did you go just now? You don't know that something almost happened in the house just now. The Japanese Osa Watanabe Ichiroγγγγγγ Seeing that Uncle Yao was back, Yu Rong hurriedly ran up and wanted to tell him what had happened.
"Did the Japanese end up drooping his head and wilting? And then walked away in ashes? β
"How do you know?" Yu Rong's eyes widened in curiosity.
"Why don't I know who I am?" Uncle Yao took out a melon skin hat, beard and sunglasses from the package, and then put on a melon skin hat, glued a beard, put on sunglasses, and was a fortune teller.
