Chapter Twenty-Seven: An Infatuated Woman
The woman knelt on the ground without saying a word, which surprised Li Ling and Xu Fatzi, and at the same time put them in an embarrassing situation.
The Ming Dynasty was very strict in etiquette. Naturally, you can't help each other. "Get up! Forget it this time, I hope you will follow Xian'er in the future, I don't want to have a next time! βγ The old man said slowly, full of majesty. "Thank you, sir!". The woman glanced at the old man gratefully, and after thanking him repeatedly, she left the gate of the tribute courtyard with the child in her arms.
The old man smiled and asked the two, "Is the young man also here to take the township exam?" I wish you all the best in high school! βγ
When he left, the two officials on duty stood more straight, and Li Ling couldn't help but sneer, this old man can't be a big man, right? "It's finally time to come out, let's go to the Temple of Confucius?"
After seeing the examination room, students generally go to the Confucian Temple to remember the saint, which is said to bring some good luck and let them spring up in the examination room.
The fat man is a person who likes to be lively, how can this kind of place be missing? Seeing the lively scene in the Confucius Temple, he forgot that the little girl Jixiang was still waiting for the child's parents on the street!
There are indeed a lot of people in the temple, in addition to the Xiucai who came to take the exam, more parents brought their children to pay homage to the saint, hoping that the saint would be merciful, give the child a little wisdom, and be a scholar in the future!
The two of them worshiped the statue of the master and arrived at the square in front of the temple, but the wide road was crowded, Li Ling frowned, he knew that he would not come. "Look, it's the girl who cheated us out of our money." Xu Fatzi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately shouted as soon as he found out about the situation.
When Li Ling raised her head, the girl had already disappeared into the crowd.
Forget it, her reappearance doesn't mean that she must be deceiving others. "Lin Xiucai came to unsign again, let's go and take a look, by the way, ask for a hexagram, I heard that it is very effective!".
Two passers-by passed in front of Li Ling, but their words moved Xu Fatzi, separated the crowd with both hands, and walked towards the center of the temple.
There were a lot of people in front of the hexagram stall, lined up for more than ten meters, but more people were watching from the side.
This time, Li Ling also saw that the fortune teller was also a teenager, and the girl who cheated them out of money was by his side.
Xu Fatzi was very annoyed, this girl had just deceived herself of ten taels of silver, but now she was here as a goddess, she was a child a few years old, and she also knew how to interpret the signature.
When Xu Fatzi was about to step forward to reason with her, he suddenly saw the person who was asking the young man for a sign, he was like being struck by lightning, he couldn't take care of his friends anymore, and took a few steps back from the crowd. "Tian'an marriage is not accidental, meet and reunite, listen to gossip in your ears, and accompany the old couple to a hundred years. Girl, this is a sign, I guarantee that your wishes will come true! βγ Lin Xiucai took the signature and blurted it out without thinking.
The woman's face turned red all of a sudden: "Childe made a mistake, I'm asking about the future, I want to ask that person if he will go to high school in the township exam this time!" βγ
Lin Xiucai did not answer directly, but said sincerely: "The girl's heart has seen it from heaven, and whatever you ask for can be done!" βγ
This girl has come to ask for a sign for her lover for the fifth time, but the strange thing is that every time he can win the lottery, Lin Xiucai sighed softly, and I don't know who will be so blessed to marry such a virtuous woman in the future.
The woman was fluttering in white, regardless of the world's gaze to ask for a future for her lover in front of her husband, Li Ling was infected, and he thought of Yang Ying, who was desperate for herself.
Li Ling was very intoxicated by this atmosphere, presumably Yang Ying and Li Er were already about to return to Datong, after all, the injuries suffered by several people had already healed, and the speed would definitely be very fast! "You come out with me first!". Xu Fatzi pulled him out of the crowd, and then asked, "Did you take a fancy to the girl who unsigned just now?" I tell you, stay away from her! βγβ Did I see him? Where is this, I think you like someone." Li Ling couldn't laugh or cry a little, but it was the first time he saw the woman, and he just admired her courage to pray for her lover.
Li Ling's explanation is very pertinent and reasonable, the other party just misses his fiancΓ©e, and Xu Fatzi is completely relieved. It turned out that everything was misunderstood.
The fat man was seen through his mind, his head was lowered, and in order to avoid being questioned, he took the opportunity to get into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
It's greasy, it seems that the relationship between the two is not simple!
The woman got a satisfactory answer, and respectfully gave Lin Xiucai a piece of silver, which weighed twenty taels. Very satisfied, he entered the temple gate, honestly kowtowed three times in front of the statue of the master, and prayed sincerely.
No need to ask. She is begging her master to bless Xu Fatzi.
Taking advantage of Li Ling's inattention, the fat man slowly blended into the unsigning team.
Lin Xiucai's sister had just gotten a piece of silver, and she was happy in her heart, but suddenly she found Xu Fatzi, didn't he come to me to ask for money, the little girl looked at her brother, and looked worried. "This brother, is the signing you just explained real?".
Xu Fatzi ignored the little girl, but asked Lin Xiucai directly, this question also bothered him for a long time, and it was certain that the woman who asked him to sign a sign liked him, but he didn't know whether he should accept the other party. "I've signed him five times, and each time it's signed, almost the same meaning, I think this is the so-called providence!" Lin Xiucai said faintly.
I'd rather demolish seven temples than destroy a marriage, girl, I can only help here.
When the two returned to the inn, Xu Fatzi had been thinking about his thoughts sullenly, but Li Ling didn't persuade him again, and some things still had to be figured out by himself.
There has been no trace of Jixiang, and the two of them are not concerned, they both think that he went back first, but when they arrived at Gaosheng's old store, they still didn't see him, and the guys in the store didn't know, so the two knew that something might be wrong. "Jixiang must have had an accident, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing that made me anxious!". The fat man is really in a hurry, Jixiang has followed him since he was a child, and he has never made a mistake! "Xu Lai, get out of here, I know you're in the inn!"
When the two were at a loss, a soprano voice came from outside the inn, and Xu Fatzi rushed out at that time, if this crazy woman was let in, maybe there would be some trouble! "Su Moth, can you let me clean up, and when the township test is over, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
When Li Ling walked out of the inn, he saw the woman praying for his lover in the Temple of Literature at first sight, it seemed that he was right, she must have a lot to do with Xu Fatzi.
There was also a person behind her, who was actually the missing auspicious, and he explained to Xu Fatzi with a bitter face: "Young master, this is all forced by the county lord!" βγ
Jixiang is also very helpless, the young master ordered him to wait for the child's parents on the street, he waited for a long time instead of meeting the person who interrogated the child's whereabouts, but met Zhu Sumo, the dominatrix, she has a noble status, and under persecution, the little girl had to explain the facts, and his young master is now living in the old store of Gaosheng.
This girl is the county lord, and it seems that Xu Lai's identity as a fat man is not simple.
