Chapter 137: Fortune telling in the palace

Some people say that red plums are such by nature, which is why they bloom in the cold season.

Some people say that red plums like to stand out from the crowd, so they bloom more brilliantly in winter.

Some people also say that this red plum is a loyal thing, which can be used as a metaphor for the life of the emperor and the queen's love.

Seeing that this topic was getting more and more deviated, the emperor couldn't help but say, "Okay, I asked you to talk about your thoughts on this red plum, not to ask you to compliment me." ”

"Forget it, let's all retreat."

A group of noble ladies of the family were all scolded by the emperor, and they could only retreat happily, and at the end, everyone glared viciously in the direction where Xia Qingqing was, only to see that she was pulling Duchess Xing Guo and Duchess Liu Guo to talk affectionately there.

"I look at it, these flowers are good, if you can pick a few and bring them back to my grandfather, it will be excellent to make a flower porridge."

As soon as the Duchess of Qin Guo heard this, she became interested, "Oh, is this a new food that your Bai Yutang is going to launch again?" You'll have to send it to my house early. ”

Xia Qingqing immediately said, "It's easy to say, you, just wrap it up on me, after I have determined the method, the first one will be sent to your house," the Duchess Liu Guo next to her began to be unrelenting, "Rao, when will Qingqing be sent to my house?" ”

Xia Qingqing comforted the two of them and said, "At the same time! At the same time, the two ladies' houses will be delivered at the same time, this hot and freshly baked fish fillet porridge is guaranteed to be delivered to the hands of the two ladies, and the heat will not dissipate! ”

The two old women began to tease Xia Qingqing, and the three of them laughed. Mrs. Liu Guo asked, "How do you make porridge with these flowers?" You should also pay attention when you make it, if it is not edible, do not eat, don't look back, the food is not eaten, you eat it again, vomit and diarrhea. ”

Xia Qingqing said, "This, you, don't worry, these things will be done well." After trying it, it didn't dare to be brought to me without poison. ”

"Grandfather, I've mentioned it many times, for fear I'm going to get food poisoning."

"Your grandfather's fears are unfounded! There are several aspects of this, and we still have to pay more attention to it. ”

Xia Qingqing said, "I also know, so I usually pay attention to it." This flower porridge is actually the best flower from the production area in the south of Xi'an, I heard it! ”

"This way of eating was brought back by the caravan, I heard the caravan say that the local people eat like this, the flowers are directly sandwiched in the white porridge and boiled over the fire is the flower porridge, and then put the white sugar or fish candy, adults and children love to eat it, sweet."

"If the sick child doesn't like to eat, he must make this flower porridge and let them eat more, this is a local specialty, I think it's best to send someone to the local area to learn it, in case there is something we don't understand and we don't operate well."

"When it comes to giving people a problem, although our Baiyutang is a restaurant, how can we take care of the safety of diners? Otherwise, the diners will have to eat away, who will come to this restaurant to eat? ”

Xia Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled, and the Duchess of Xingguo also said, "Okay, since you can think of this, then I will feel at ease, I'm afraid, you are a little money fan, you know how to make money every day, and you don't take these dangers to heart at all." ”

Xia Qingqing said coquettishly, "You see you must have heard too much from Lord Xing Guogong!" "Where am I a money junkie? Am I passionate about ways to make money, but not about money? ”

Duchess Xing Guo pretended not to understand and said, "Oh, aren't you keen on money? ”

"Then why are you Bai Yutang making so much money?"

Xia Qingqing said vigorously, "If you make money, it must be useful!" ”

Duchess Xing Guo asked again, "What kind of use is it used for?" ”

Xia Qingqing continued, "That must be in a useful place!" You see, when the earthquake in the north was this time, didn't I bring some silver taels with me when the old prince went? ”

"Although we don't bring much, we can also solve the urgent need for a while! And money is such a thing, you can't see it on weekdays, if you really need it urgently, the more the better! ”

The Duchess of Qin looked at her helplessly and said, "You! It's really a business material, this clever mouth, can speak well, and I don't know if the third prince will be able to talk to you after he marries you in the future! ”

"You, you must be careful about everything, don't say a word to scare the three princes to a dead end, you can't do it when you turn around, and you will be enemies again."

Xia Qingqing shut up and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't mention doing business or making money, I still have something to talk about with the third prince," as soon as she said this, the two married people laughed, "You, you're still young, you don't know what it means to get married?" ”

Xia Qingqing pretended not to understand, looked up at the two old ladies in ignorance, and the two of them talked and laughed, without mentioning a word again.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the father-in-law of Fu'an said, "The emperor will hold a banquet and invite all the ladies and nobles to the main hall." ”

Everyone began to walk in the direction of the main hall, and the emperor and Master Puhua chatted freely, from the red plum blossoming in the snow to the evergreen pine and cypress trees, and then talked about the sun that rises in the east and sets in the west every day.

"Everything has its own laws, Your Majesty, you don't have to be too melancholy, after all, this hasn't happened yet."

The emperor looked suspicious and said, "Master Puhua said this, can he deduce what is going on for me?" ”

Master Puhua discussed with the old prince in the carriage in the palace, if the emperor asked again, he would pick a suitable time on this flower-viewing banquet, and then tell the story of the daughter of the phoenix.

It seems that now is the best time, Master Puhua said, "Amitabha, I have been chatting with the emperor for a long time today, let Lao Gao go back to the room and calculate, and go to the holy dormitory tonight." ”

"Tell the saint about the hexagram display, do you think it's good?" The emperor was overjoyed and said, "I will play." ”

Then the emperor said, "Please go to the banquet with Master Puhua, since I have invited Master Puhua to the scene today, I think these young ladies from famous families must be, I hope to be able to personally let Master Puhua approve a batch of lives." ”

"Wouldn't it be better if Master Puhua could figure out whose marriage it was? I can even decree marriage. ”

"Isn't it a good thing to achieve a heaven-sent relationship like this?"

"What the emperor said is very true, it's just a lifetime, it's a matter of personal luck, but it can't be measured at will, and there will be a saying that the more you calculate, the thinner it is, so that the poor monk will go with you, if there is a noble girl who is willing to measure, the poor monk will make up a hexagram for her."

"Whether it's good or bad. All written on the paper, asked her to take it home to check it herself, so good, it can be regarded as avoiding the possibility of disaster on the spot, once the poor monk launched the evil is not auspicious, it will naturally appear extraordinarily vague, if it is really a big murder, it will inevitably warn the saint in advance. ”

"In this way, it couldn't be better, or the master thought it through."

Master Puhua did this, and immediately reassured the emperor's heart, he originally asked Qin Tianjian to calculate who the daughter of the phoenix life was in the distance, but he was also worried that Qin Tianjian had made a mistake and wronged others in vain.

If there is Master Puhua next to him to calculate together, then this result can be regarded as a little true.

It's just that Master Puhua doesn't know about the daughter of the Phoenix Order at the moment, saying that he will go back tonight to tell the hexagram, and the emperor is also secretly thinking about whether to talk to Master Puhua about this matter now.

The emperor was in a dilemma, he wanted to tell Master Puhua directly and let him help with the calculation, and he also hoped that Master Puhua would tell him after he calculated it himself.

I was also entangled for a while. As the two came to the banquet, all the ladies got up.

"Courtiers see the emperor,"

"Courtiers see the emperor."

"Everyone, excuse me."

"Everyone has their own songs and dances to enjoy when they are seated," the emperor glanced at Master Puhua, who nodded slightly.

The emperor ordered Fu'an to inform the nobles present of what had just happened, "If anyone is willing to calculate, just come to Master Puhua immediately." ”

For a while, there were dozens of people who wanted to calculate their fortunes, and in addition to the women who knew the destiny of heaven, the girls who were in the prime of their cardamom years all wanted to test their marriage.

"Amitabha, thanks to the nobles who do not dislike it, are willing to believe in the poor monks, but because of the large number of people today, it is better for the girls to write their names and birthdays on the paper first, and when I ask, hand them over to the poor monks, so that they can also save some time, do you say you can? Emperor. ”

"Of course, everything will be done according to Master Puhua's requirements."

"Thanks, Your Majesty."

At the palace banquet, there was a lot of fun, in fact, everyone had their own ghosts, and some young ladies hoped to find a good marriage through Master Puhua.

Some even want to directly attract the emperor's attention, everyone has different thoughts, and the methods are naturally different, and the ghost is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, and wants to seize the time to arouse the emperor's interest.

Don't worry, don't panic, there is only one Xia Qingqing in the audience, and the Duchess of Xing Guo next to her will not fight for your mortgage, "How difficult it is for this Puhua master to come to the palace, look at everyone is writing their birthdays, why don't you write?" ”

Xia Qingqing blinked her eyes and said, "I have already asked Master Puhua to tell my fortune, and I was still in Foguang Temple at that time, and my grandfather should pull me to calculate it." ”

"The theory of fate, I think that it is already destined in the dark, and these things will happen whether it is counted or not, and my grandfather thinks that there are many things, and it is better to know earlier than to know later, I don't think so."

"What if you know something in advance? You can't avoid it, you can't avoid it, it's just adding to your troubles. ”
