Chapter Twenty-Five: Grass of Fate
In July in Gusu, the bridge, the water, and the sunset are inseparable.
Duckweed and Xiaowa set up a stall, and Xiaowa sat next to her boredly. It was really boring, she tore off a piece of papyrus, poked the duckweed with her fingers, and said, "Sister, do you want to play with the fateful grass?"
"What is a fated grass?" asked duckweed, curious.
Xiaowa raised her face, handed the papyrus in her hand to the duckweed and said, "This is it." This is fun, you can test whether two people have fate. ”
"Isn't this papyrus? so amazing? Come, tell me how to measure it?"
Xiaowa smiled: "This long stem, I tear this head, you tear that head." If we tear it out to be a square, it means that we are destined. If it is torn, then we have no fate. ”
Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "This is more suitable for testing marriage, I and Xiaowa are already so close now, and there is no fate? ”
The little baby's face was flushed with shame, and her pink face was like the sunset on the horizon at the moment.
While the two were talking, they saw a group of people crowding around a woman walking towards the duckweed stall.
A young woman wearing a dark pink gown, a red beaded flower on her head, and a tasseled bun stepped forward, surrounded by a group of maids, who looked like the ladies of a large family.
Xiaowa quickly put away the papyrus in her hand, and respectfully replaced the woman with a bowl of tea.
The woman waved her hand, and very tactfully refused, apparently because the tea was not good enough, but there was still a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes were gray and lacklustre.
Duckweed said very politely: "Madame came, is it for fortune telling, or to solve doubts, or do you need help with some trouble?"
The woman smiled, and withdrew her subordinates and many girls, leaving only one personal girl.
"People on the street said that a very beautiful female Taoist priest came to Gusu. is good at fortune telling and divination, but it has only been known to all ages in Gusu for a few days, but it is really not easy. She said slowly, her voice very sweet and delicate, giving people a delicate feeling. But for some reason, Xiaowa shivered when she looked at that very delicate face and listened to her sweet voice.
"Madame, I'm just a little bit of a warlock. It was rare for the neighbors to trust me, so I was able to gain a foothold in Gusu, and my wife smiled. Duckweed said modestly.
The young woman didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about herself, but asked unhurriedly, "Dare to ask where the real person is practicing and what is the Dharma name?"
"Yin and yang break the five elements, and feng shui explores the six elements. If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, Kunlun Mountain duckweed, I don't have a legal name. Madame, like them, just call me duckweed lady. Duckweed knew that the young woman was more cautious, and she should be testing whether she was a charlatan.
The young woman sighed softly, as if she was infinitely worried, "Kunlun Mountain is so far away from Gusu, how did the duckweed lady think of coming to Gusu to cultivate?"
"It's not about cultivating, it's about making good connections. Madame has something on her mind, it seems that she has been stuck in her heart for a long time, why should she be so suspicious. I came from Kunlun Mountain, lived in Gusu, and will not stay for a long time. Madame, don't worry, I'll talk to the idlers. Duckweed was very understanding and said seriously, "This is my sister, but she is eleven or twelve years old, and she doesn't understand anything, so naturally she can't talk nonsense." If the lady is still not at ease, I will let her go and sit nearby. ”
"No need. For such a young child, it is late in the day, and it is not safe for no one to watch. Also, she is very cute, and I like it very much. The young woman smiled softly, touched the little baby's head, and a rare light appeared in her eyes, "Duckweed lady, I want you to help me calculate a hexagram, when will I... She sighed again, as if embarrassed to speak.
The maid beside the young woman said anxiously: "The lady is smiling, my wife has been married to our son-in-law for two years, but she has not given birth so far. The lady came to visit the duckweed lady this time to ask when the woman would be able to conceive a child, so as to fulfill a wish. ”
The young woman's face was slightly red, but her usual tone was still flat, and her voice was sweet: "If the duckweed lady can help me conceive a child as soon as possible, I will definitely have a good gift in addition to the reward." ”
Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "Madam is polite, since you are here, it is fate." He stretched out his hand for me to see. ”
The woman was still preoccupied, and kept looking around, as if she was afraid of meeting someone. Duckweed carefully observed the veins in the woman's hand, and asked casually: "Madame is very preoccupied, and there are too many things in her heart, but it is not conducive to the body." ”
The woman smiled reluctantly: "Yes, the lady is right, the doctor has always said this." It's just that I have too many affairs in the house, and I do everything myself, and if I want to let go of those things, it's really impossible. ”
Duckweed withdrew her hand and looked at the black qi hidden between the veins of the woman's palm, her expression was a little complicated.
Seeing the duckweed's expression, the woman was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked, "Duckweed lady, but what's the problem? Can't I conceive a child?"
Duckweed shook her head and said with some embarrassment: "Madame's meridians all over her body have been entangled with black qi, I'm afraid I'm in big trouble." Maybe it's not just that I can't conceive a child, I think, maybe I will die in two months. ”
When duckweed said this, the young woman seemed to have suffered some blow, and her gray eyes became even more dull. Xiaowa was also stunned at this time, she knew that duckweed had the ability to see qi, and would never talk nonsense for money.
The maid next to the young woman hurriedly said, "Where did you come from, the female Taoist priest, talking so nonsense." Our lady is in good health.,How could it be.。。。。 ”
"Hongxiang, Hugh is rude. The young woman was still calm, and said sharply, "Now that you are here, you must not talk nonsense." After that, he apologized to the duckweed and said: "Duckweed lady, this girl is really rude, she is too worried about me to be like this." Besides, it's hard not to be scared when the lady says this now. I don't know the lady, but what credentials do you have?"
"Credentials?" Duckweed smiled, "Madame is too suspicious, and instead of asking me how to resolve it first, she asks me for the credentials first." Well, I'll just ask one question, can Madame have twin sisters?"
The young woman's face changed slightly, but she still forced her composure and said, "I have a twin sister. ”
"That's right. Duckweed suddenly became serious, with an anger on her face that she had never felt before, "Madame's sister is still alive?"
The young woman trembled, and even the maid behind her changed her face. The woman said in a trembling voice, "My sister has been dead for two years. Could it be that she, is she pestering me?"
"Madam, we asked someone to do the Fa at that time, why are we still pestering Madame?" the maid's face was no longer bloody, and her hands were clenched tightly.
The sun slowly receded into the depths, and the night began.
