The night is getting darker and darker, and the sky is full of stars.

He Angelica walked over step by step, his chest was like a fluttering rabbit, his eyes stared at the white figure without blinking, and he whispered: "Who are you, turn around!" ”

Hearing this, the man obediently turned around, recognized at a glance that the masked woman in black was He Angelica, and smiled at her with a little surprise: "Hey, girl, you are here too, did you come to me on purpose?" A strange handsome face, but the voice is very familiar, and the eyes are even more familiar, just by looking at each other, you know that this man is Bai Yangbai.

He Angelica also tilted his head to look at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you everywhere, you are dressed so chic and dignified, what are your evil intentions?" ”

Bai Yangbai raised his head with a smile: "You can see this, what is my intention......" said and straightened his clothes, and looked at her with a half-salute, his eyes raised and looked at her, "The girl is above, Xiaosheng is polite." Xiaosheng poplar, moved to Yangzhou from the north to avoid the plague, has been here for more than two months, since he saw the beautiful woman in Chengxu, he still can't forget it, how can there be such a beautiful person in the world? Although Xiaosheng is a foreigner, but the family has a small property, business and wealth, ten thousand silver bride price can be obtained, and a courtyard on the outskirts of the city is purchased for storing beauties, what does the girl think? ”

He Angelica looked him up and down, and commented: "It looks like a dog, it's really good, but Bai Gongzi, you have been canceled, and there is no need to propose, so let's continue to pretend to be a Taoist priest tomorrow and do things for the Luo family ancestral hall." When you earn the silver, don't forget to return the ten taels of silver you stole in my desk before, plus at least 100 taels of filial piety fees for the teacher. ”

"I'm canceled?" Bai Yangbai judged her eyes in surprise, and said, "It's so categorical, when I saw you this morning, there was still room for you to refuse, why only half a day later, the attitude before and after was a street, what happened?" ”

He Angelica didn't expect him to be so keen, and felt that his attitude had not changed, coughed twice in disguise, she took off her scarf, showed him a dark night flower-like snow face, and said proudly: "Look, this is the dual effect of Zhuyan Tonga Yingying Powder, it is really amazing, good man, although I am about to get married, I can no longer accompany you to pretend to be a family wine in the future, but your craftsmanship is really amazing, why don't you come to my door to maintain it once a month, I ask you to gamble money, how about it?" ”

With a beautiful face that makes people's hearts move, Bai Yangbai blinked his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to get married, or do you pretend to be a family wine with others?" Who is that man? Do I know each other? ”

He Angelica didn't plan to talk about his relationship with Meng Xuan too early, but the words actually flowed out of his mouth, with a bit of showing off: "It's Meng Xuan, the seventh son of Meng, going around and around, sure enough, he is my destined husband, I will get married soon, and if you look for me again in the future, you will go to the capital Mengfu." ”

Bai Yangbai scratched his chin, was silent for a long time, and stared at her for a long time, before he said slowly: "It is indeed a good match, two villains, you are more treacherous than him, he is more ruthless than you, you have two swords together, and the husband and wife kill people, it must be extraordinary...... Congratulations. ”

He Angelica accepted his congratulations and corrected: "For the time being, I am not a wife, and I am scheduled to be a concubine." ”

Bai Yangbai was silent again, suddenly touched into his arms, took out the turtle plate, Hongwu Tongbao money and Sinan astrological chart one by one, and said in a rare and serious way: "You and I have known each other, I like your girl's temperament very much, since you are going to marry into the Bofu as a concubine, it is not uncommon for you to forgive you with yellow and white things (He: against), I will use my housekeeping skills to occupy a hexagram for you, you have not taken up the marriage after you are fourteen years old, right?" ”

He Angelica immediately came to the spirit, Bai Yangbai is the master of the fortune teller, let him give himself a share of the direction of marriage, and also sweep away the dark clouds brought by Qi Xuanyu's ghost's parting words, what kind of nonsense that Meng Xuanbai and Yangbai will die. She squinted and nodded, and said kindly: "You have to calculate by heart, recently I have become more and more convinced of the study of Zhou Yishu mathematics, I think it is very accurate, it is better to borrow two auspicious words from you before getting married." I would like you to calculate carefully for me, my married life with Meng Xuan, how the environment of the Meng family is compared to the Luo family, how old Meng Xuan can live, how old I can live, and whether we can grow old together. ”

"When it comes to divination, no matter how shrewd a woman is, she is ignorant to the point of chilling, what hexagram can be calculated to such an accurate degree, it's really a shame that you can ask, can you grow old together? You have to manage this by yourself......" Bai Yangbai seemed to have a stomach full of anger, muttered in a low voice, and walked into the house with his eyelids drooping with his eyelids in his hand.

Seeing this, He Angelica hurriedly stopped him and suggested: "Let's change the place to calculate the hexagram, there is a water pavilion in front, this is an ominous place, which affects the aura of the divination thing." ”

"How so?" Bai Yangbai retorted, "In my opinion, the most aura place in the entire Luofu, and even half of Yangzhou, is this Tingzhu Courtyard, and it is perfect to tell the fortune here." When she turned around, she saw that He Angelica was suspicious and hesitated, so she urged her to say, "Don't rub it off, I still have to watch the stars, and I don't have a lot of time for you to tell fortunes." ”

He Danggui didn't expect Bai Yangbai to also take Qiao, so he followed him into the inner room and asked with a smile: "Bai Da Xingjia, it turns out that you also have the habit of stargazing at night?" She remembered that he didn't have such a normal and serious love.

Bai Yangbai really said with a serious face: "Yes, since the great vision of the stars and the earth, all the astrologers from all over the country have come to Yangzhou, and I don't know how many people are stargazing on the Weaver Girl Bridge tonight." Poor Dao doesn't like stargazing on weekdays, he is sympathetic to the world, and he can't bear to foresee the suffering of the world, but this time, he can't see it. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" He Angelica asked knowingly.

"I looked up at the celestial phenomena and saw the stars lined up, Taibai retrograde between the willow soil roe deer and the ghost golden sheep, and the streamer shot the difference between the wooden deer, the cow and the golden cow, and the heart and moon fox, do you know what this represents?" Bai Yangbai pushed the door into the poem, put a divination device on the table, and without waiting for He Angelica to ask, he continued to take care of himself, "This means that within three years, there will be a great turmoil in the world, and in that turmoil, no one can stay out of it, neither Ah Quan nor Meng Xuan." ”

"Oh, what a terrible celestial phenomenon, it's really disrespectful," He Angelica pulled out a stool and sat down, and said slowly, "Then please help me divinate the marriage." ”

Bai Yangbai was stunned, she thought that she would scream in surprise when she threw out such a powerful news, but she didn't expect it...... That's it? He looked down at the top of her head in displeasure and snorted coldly: "You don't believe it? I'm a Taoist saint, an expert in stargazing! ”

He Angelica put his hands on his cheeks and said lazily: "Believe it or not, for us little women, who will sit on the dragon chair tomorrow, and what dishes will be eaten for dinner today, compared with the two sides, or the latter is more closely related to us, so-please help me calculate, what are the big bumps in the road to my marriage with Meng Xuan, Meng Xuan's mother and future wife, are they good people?" ”

Bai Yangbo sat down with his mouth open, lined up the copper coins one by one, and said sourly: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you have another sweetheart, you are very concerned about him, when did you become so good?" ”

"Shhhh Saying that he made a wish in his mouth, to the effect that he believed in the woman Angelica, wanted to ask for a good marriage, and lived a life of peace and joy. After reading it, he asked Bai Yangbai: "Do you want to write down the eight characters of Meng Xuan's birthdays for me and me?" ”

Bai Yangbai squinted at her and said, "No, I know both of them, but for the sake of accuracy, all the men who are involved in your marriage, whether they are thinking alone or marrying you for a certain purpose, must be counted one by one to be accurate enough." I know Meng Xuan, Duan Xiaolou, Ah Quan and my own eight characters, but Peng Yan and Luo Bai don't know, do you know? ”

He Danggui didn't expect Bai Yangbai to add himself in, and he felt some embarrassment in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Peng Yan and the second cousin are exempt, they don't count." ”

"Not counting?" Bai Yangbai lifted his left eyelid and asked, "What about me?" Do I count? ”

He Angelica replied: "Whatever you want, you can calculate it if you want." She seemed to be close to Bai Yangbai in her previous life, but in fact, she was separated by several mountains and rivers, but he liked her but it was difficult to speak, and she was completely kept in the dark. And in this life, she is even more entangled with no love, but the words of Qi Xuanyu's ghost are still in her ears, although she doesn't believe it, but it doesn't hurt to calculate.

So, Bai Yangbai began to calculate the hexagram with his dead skin drooping eyes, repeating the various ways of placing the copper coin tediously and boringly, such as three moments, and finally buckled the turtle plate on the copper coin, nodded and said: "After a stick of incense, the result will be produced." ”

He Angelica waited with bated breath for this half a day, and when he exhaled, he found that he had been so nervous for half a day, secretly laughing at himself What was wrong, and even took two deep breaths, she smiled and teased Bai Yangbai: "You are really good at dressing up, two points more handsome than your original appearance, you just sit at the door of the temple and nunnery, set up a stall and tell the hexagram with your face, and it is sure that it can attract a large group of young ladies and ladies to covet." ”

Bai Yangbai made the signature gesture of picking his nostrils, and asked slowly, "Do you covet me?" ”

He Angelica twisted his upper lip into a disdainful arc, indicating that he was too disdainful to answer the question at all. So the two fell silent, and after a while, He Angelica couldn't help but speak again, silently waiting for the oracle of fate is a more painful thing, and speaking can be relieved. She asked, "You said it's good to listen to the local atmosphere of the bamboo courtyard?" Or is it the best in Luofu? How do you see this? ”

Bai Yangbai pointed to the surrounding southeast, northwest, and northwest directions, and explained in an old-fashioned manner the feng shui terms that He Angelica basically did not understand, and when it came to the impassioned place, the spit stars splashed everywhere, forcing He Angelica to raise a face towel to cover it. In the end, he finally said something that He Angelica could understand, and he said: "I heard that this Tingzhu Courtyard is the residence of your old lady, I guess he must have dabbled in Taoism, and he is also obsessed with the art of immortality." ”

"No," He Danggui denied, "His medical skills are inherited from the Yishui School, and I haven't heard of any deeds of burning Dan and refining mercury, maybe this Bamboo Courtyard just happens to have good terrain." ”

Bai Yangbai shook his head: "I see that the Xun position in this courtyard is the most suitable for placing the Dan furnace, and it is no accident, it should be deliberately arranged like this." You say that Luo Maitong has nothing to do with Taoism? But I tell you, this bamboo courtyard is clearly built according to the specifications of a Taoist temple, you see, the entrance is the side hall, the gate is facing the side hall, isn't it strange? Turning around the corridor, there shouldn't be a place for a garden, but there is a huge atrium, which looks awkward, right? ”

He Angelica was embarrassed: "Dao Sheng, the little girl is fourteen years old, and she is only a shallow learner, so she really can't understand your high theory." ”

Bai Yangbai finally commented: "In short, the bamboo courtyard is like a Taoist temple, although I don't have a room to visit, but I expect that all the beds in this courtyard should be without curtains, in addition to fitting the feng shui arrangement, it can also allow the soul to flow freely, unhindered, and the living and the dead can live well." He nodded his head again and again, admiring the good courtyard.

He Angelica did know that all the beds in the bamboo courtyard did not have curtains, it seemed that the old lady's instructions were correct, but what "the soul flows, the dead live well", it sounds really strange and cautious. She patted Bai Yangbai's shoulder angrily and stopped him from continuing: "Don't scare people in the middle of the night, I'm very timid, and I can't help beating people when I'm afraid." The time for a stick of incense has come, quick, uncover the turtle board and take a look at my marriage. ”

Bai Yangbai looked at her deeply, uncovered the turtle board, and shouted in surprise and inexplicably after a glance: "What's the matter, these four men are not your husbands, so who is your husband?" ”
