Chapter 20: Proverbs
Ruan Yuyi glanced at Zhaorong lightly, and said in her heart, naturally she went to her nephew's house.
She replied to Zhaorong's words, but the person turned to Cheng Zhu's, "Auntie, I accidentally got separated from you when I was in the main hall, so I passed the corridor on the other side, and I saw a finch hitting the pillar on the side of the road, and I was delayed for a while. When we look at it again, the rain is already pouring down, and we will not be allowed to come back. ”
Cheng Zhu thought about it, it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, but the situation at that time was not accurate to say that they were separated, but everyone was afraid that they would be trapped in the hall by the heavy rain, and no one could take care of her.
With such an explanation, Cheng Zhushi couldn't say anything anymore, "Okay, be careful in the future, don't delay the time." ”
Ruan Yuyi wondered why her aunt was so talkative, but she still nodded.
"You can wander around the temple, but you can't hook up with a little master." Zhaorong is dressed beautifully and decently, but his mouth is unforgiving.
Where can a woman's innocence be slandered at will, and it is unruly to speak like this.
Cheng Zhushi took a sip of tea, Quan Dang didn't hear it, after all, the person who spoke was noble, and it was not for her to put her beak. Cheng Xingqiu has been studying for more than ten years, and he has always been a gentleman, and he can't see the eldest princess say these vulgar words.
He tugged at Zhaorong's sleeve in the dark.
Unexpectedly, Zhaorong didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, but asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”
Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi was willing to face Zhaorong, she frowned and said, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense. If you don't like me, that's it, the masters in the temple are concentrating on chanting Buddha, where can they spread rumors at will. ”
In Cheng Xingqiu's impression, Ruan Yuyi has always been obedient, so it is naturally impossible to sit down for such things, so he also said something for her, "Zhaorong, let's say a few words." ”
She doesn't care what others do, her lover is not on her side, which is intolerable to Zhaorong, "I knew that this palace would not save you, let you rot by the river, so as not to speak for the people next to you at this time, and make this palace troublesome." ”
Cheng Xingqiu listened, and also remembered the kindness of the eldest princess, and coaxed people with kind words. It's just that I always feel a little uncomfortable in a corner of my heart, maybe it's because at every time like this, Zhaorong is always willing to talk about life-saving grace.
Cheng Zhu's family naturally couldn't lose the face of the eldest princess, so he revealed the matter in one sentence, "Speaking of which, I am fortunate to have the face of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to invite Master Ruokong." Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yi'er, you can also go to fortune-telling with Rui'er. ”
The best thing is to be able to match the eight characters, so that she can also do Rui'er's family affairs one day, so as not to have too many dreams at night. If it doesn't match, Qiu'er really can't give it up, and it's not impossible to make Sister Yi'er fill the house for him.
Hearing Cheng Zhu's words, Zhaorong's face looked better, "Master Ruokong has a deep attainment in numerology, and he is mostly in retreat on weekdays, so this time it is also a coincidence." However, the master has a strange temperament, and it is not enough to take the eight characters of his birthday, he has to ask someone to go. ”
Ruan Yuyi's hand clenched.
It turned out that Cheng Zhu called her over and hit this idea.
She glanced at Cheng Rui on the side. He was really childish, he didn't know what they were talking about, so naturally he didn't have the slightest trouble, and he was playing with the tassels on his clothes.
Although Cheng Xingqiu didn't believe in these, he also knew that these were conventions and customs, and they must be indispensable, so he didn't say much.
"Aunt," Ruan Yuyi thought about shirking, "the four of them go together, I'm afraid it will make the master tired." I don't want to talk about my second cousin next time. ”
Where would Cheng Zhu agree, she glanced at Ruan Yuyi, her eyes sharp, "When the master is free, it is a chance, so why bother next time." ”
"Yes, Lingling, a rare opportunity." Cheng Xingqiu had other thoughts, and his eyes flickered.
Ruan Yuyi is afraid that she will say too much, and before the prince wants her to leave, she was poked by her aunt, and at that time, I am afraid that she will really not be able to escape from the Cheng family. So she fell silent.
During the chat, a novice slowly came in from the door, and said with his head bowed, "Ladies and gentlemen, Master Ruokong is invited." ”
When they reached a small courtyard, the novice stopped and signaled that they had arrived.
This place is almost next to the edge of the mountain forest, and further down it is not the area of the Holy River Temple, so it is very quiet, and the birds are very noisy. Far from being small, this courtyard is a little shabby.
It didn't look like a respected master living in it.
Under the guidance of the novices, several people entered the house. The room was dimly lit, and under the window lattice, Chen had a long low table and a soft cushion, where Master Ruokong sat on his knees, twisting a Buddha string in his hand.
Under the faint light outside the window, Ruan Yuyi noticed that he was closed-eyed, with an air that was not ordinary.
"A few donors, please come in."
If the empty lips are fanned, the voice is quiet.
Zhaorong took the lead in crossing the threshold, and the others saw this and followed. Ruan Yuyi walked at the end unhurriedly, and saw that Cheng Rui was attracted by the moss in the corner, so she called him.
"What you ask for today is the destiny of heaven, and you will stop at the point. If you believe, you will be true, and if you do not believe, you will not. With that, Ruokong opened his eyes. Although he has gray hair and a furrow on his face, his eyes are extremely black and white.
Cheng Zhu hurriedly pushed the eldest princess and Cheng Rui to Ruokong, and asked Ruokong to calculate their lives first.
After a long time, Zhao Rong held Cheng Xingqiu's hand tightly.
She had sent someone to inform the master earlier, so that he could say things for the better, whether the outcome was good or bad. As a result, she was at peace at this time.
Cheng Zhu put the birthdays of the four juniors prepared in advance on several cases. Ruokong took it, and after a long time, he stopped the pen and paper, and said slowly, "Water and fire are together, and the two lives are suitable." "It's just half a lifetime of marriage and half a lifetime of sorrow, and it may not be long.
He swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach and asked, "Does the donor have the sun and the moon in his arms?" ”
Hearing the satisfactory result, a smile appeared on Zhaorong's face, "More than three months." "Master Ruokong really has magical powers, and he didn't even see the pulse.
In fact, she frequently subconsciously stroked her abdomen, and it is not difficult for anyone to notice.
Ruokong suddenly stopped twisting the hand of the Buddha's string, his expression became solemn, and the words were repeated in his mouth, and he said after a long time, "Although the next words are suspected of evil, the donor must carefully consider them. ”
"Master, please speak." Cheng Xingqiu had a hunch that it would not be a good word, and said eagerly.
"I can't keep this son," Ruokong exhaled softly, "I'm afraid that the next day will bring disaster to the mother." "The later you go, the deeper the root of the bane, until the long root is dead and firmly rooted, and then you are really powerless to return to the sky.
When Zhaorong heard this, his blood surged up, and he stood up sharply and turned his face, "This palace is coming, how can you talk nonsense!" ”
"In the Holy River Temple, there is no distinction between high and low," Ruokong's expression remained unchanged, and he reminded in a low voice, "The donor is angry, the poor monk said, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it." ”
One by one, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Cheng Xingqiu went to help Zhaorong's shoulder and comforted, "The eldest princess is destined to be noble, and she is blessed by her neighbors, how can our children be a disaster." ”
Cheng Zhu was also a little incredulous, hoping that what Ruokong said was false, "Master, are you joking?" ”
"Poor monks never lie."
Her heart finally sank. How so? Doesn't it say that "two lives are compatible"?
Zhaorong's face was pale, and he didn't realize that his fingertips were pinched into his palms. This is the child between her and Xingqiu, and it is also the most reliable relationship between them, and they will grow up with love in the future, how can they let Ruokong set his life with a word.
Cheng Xingqiu was afraid that she would hurt her body, so he said that he would take her out for a break first.
Cheng Zhu's trust in Ruokong was shaking, and as soon as the two left, their hearts tightened, so they pulled Cheng Rui out.
Now that the group has left, Ruan Yuyi is naturally inconvenient to stay for a long time, and after bowing her body to thank her, she also turned around and wanted to leave.
Behind him, there was the voice of Master Ruokong, "Donor, but listen to a word, don't ask the people in front of you, and everything will be safe in the future." ”
Ruan Yuyi paused, turned around and saluted again, and then left.
