602. Lady Wang of the Courtyard
After a while, Steward Cui hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and urged the servants who were carrying it again:
"Hurry up, move quickly, the prince is in a hurry!"
At this time, Du Buyi and White Lotus had already hidden behind a large tree nearby.
Steward Cui saw that there were five people around a big box not far away, as if they were lazy, so he rushed over angrily, pointed at the five people and said menacingly:
"Everyone else is busy, you five dare to be lazy here?"
Liu Erbao turned around and replied:
"Steward Cui, we've been carrying the box for so long and haven't stopped, can't you let us rest for a while?"
Steward Cui called a servant next to him:
"Where did these five people come from, and how do they do things?"
The servant replied:
"They were met on our way from the palace, and they heard that we were short of people to move boxes, so they volunteered to help!"
Cui Steward says:
"Oh...... It turned out to be voluntary, no wonder I'm lazy here!"
Then he walked up to the five:
"You move the boxes for us, this housekeeper won't treat you badly!"
Liu Mazi asked Steward Cui:
"Butler, are you going to pay us?"
Steward Cui nodded:
"Yes!"
Liu Mazi immediately said again:
"Butler, if you give our five brothers less than ten taels of silver today, the five of us will quit and leave. ”
When Steward Cui heard this, he was about to get angry, but after carefully looking at the five people, he found that these five people were all strong, so he stopped, hesitated, and said:
"Okay, ten taels is ten taels, then you have to work harder!"
Liu Huan replied at this time:
"Okay, such a high price, brothers, how can we miss this kind of good thing, let's move quickly, hurry up!"
So the five of them hurriedly began to stack the boxes one by one onto the carriage, and did things neatly and without delay.
Steward Cui, who was watching from the sidelines, also became very satisfied at this time, and thought to himself:
"These ten taels of silver don't seem to be a loss, not a loss!"
Then I went back to the hospital.
At this time, the White Lotus, who was hiding in the time, whispered and asked Du Yiyi:
"Brother Du, what should we do now?"
Du did not forget to say:
"Since the Wuyi brothers are here, let's wait here. ”
As soon as the words fell, suddenly Du Cheng was slapped behind him, startled, and quickly turned around to see that it was Yang Chengdao.
I saw Yang Chengdao dressed as a fortune teller, holding a banner in his hand, engraved with the seven characters of 'Lotte knows his fate so he is not worried', and carried a small wooden box on his back.
The White Lotus asked Yang Chengdao in surprise:
"Dao Chief, how did you become a fortune teller, where did you get this banner and wooden box?"
Yang Chengdao smiled weirdly:
"Of course I borrowed it from a passing fortune teller, otherwise how could it be so professional?"
Then he glanced at Du Buyi and White Lotus respectively:
"Which of you wants to accompany me into the courtyard to find out?"
White Lotus preemptively said:
"I want to go, my uncle's courtyard I have never been in?"
Yang Chengdao looked at the White Lotus:
"White girl, but you're a little troublesome!"
The White Lotus replied:
"It's okay, look at me!"
As soon as the words fell, White Lotus ran out and directly stunned a man who was guarding the carriage next to him, and asked Du Yifu to drag it over together.
Then he said to Du Yifu:
"Help me get dressed, I'm going to change. ”
Du did not forget to ask:
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered when you put on this man's clothes? And other fortune tellers can't be around people like you, why don't you let me go?"
The White Lotus snatched the clothes that the man had taken off just now:
"I don't care, I just want to go in and have a look, you just wait for us outside!"
Then he quickly changed into this man's clothes, and did not forget to wipe some dust on his face so as not to be recognized, after all, the white lotus is the niece of Prince Xiang.
Yang Chengdao put the wooden box on the white lotus's back, walked out with her, and came to the gate of the courtyard.
At this time, I only heard Yang Chengdao shouting:
"Lotte knows his fate so he doesn't worry, he counts all the unknown things in the world, the world asks me who I am, I am the reincarnation of Zhang Tianshi!"
After a while, a maid walked out, and after glancing at the Heavenly Enlightenment Daoist and the White Lotus respectively, she pulled her cheek and said:
"Where did the god stick come from, dare to come to our Xiangwang Courtyard to cheat?"
Yang Chengdao waved his hand and explained:
"Girl...... Girl, you misunderstood, misunderstood the poor Dao, the poor Dao is really the reincarnation of Zhang Tianshi, I don't believe that girl, if you have any troubles or what you have recently, you can come to the poor Dao, and the poor Dao will definitely be able to resolve it for you. ”
The maid immediately asked again:
"Do you want to collect money?"
Yang Chengdao shook his head:
"Poor Dao is the reincarnation of Zhang Tianshi, of course I won't accept a penny from you, girl!"
The maid glanced at Tiancheng Daoist incredulously:
"Dao Chief, are you serious? Fortune tellers really don't charge a penny?"
Yang Chengdao raised a hand:
"I swear, if I tell your fortune for the girl, if you collect a penny, you will be thundered by the sky!"
The maid let go of her caution:
"Well, I believe in you!"
Then he brought Yang Chengdao and the White Lotus into the courtyard, and then under a pavilion, let the two sit down and drink tea.
After a while, the maid entered the house and walked over with a young woman with a beautiful appearance.
After the young woman sat down opposite Yang Chengdao, Tianchengdao said:
"Looking at your dress and decoration, as expected, you must be the prince's concubine, right?"
The young woman smiled:
"Dao Chief, you really have some Taoism!"
Yang Chengdao asked:
"I don't know, madam, do you want Poor Dao to predict the future for you or divination for you?"
Madame sighed:
"I've been with the prince for three years, and I've never been pregnant, I don't know if I can give me some guidance?"
Yang Chengdao nodded slightly:
"Oh...... It turns out that Madame wants to divinate the heirs, please put her hands on the table!"
Madame pulled up a slight sleeve and laid a pair of white jade hands on the table.
After Yang Chengdao first checked his wife's pulse, he looked at the lines of his wife's palm with a solemn expression:
"Ma'am, have you been having any headaches lately?"
Madame nodded:
"Yes, in the past few months, there will be occasional headaches for a few days, I asked Lang Zhong to come and see, and Lang Zhong said that it is normal. ”
Yang Chengdao kept shaking his head:
"No, no!"
The lady asked:
"Listening to what the Taoist chief said, is there a mistake in Lang Zhong's diagnosis?"
Yang Chengdao asked again:
"Madame, have you been having nightmares a lot lately?"
Mrs. looked at Yang Chengdao incredulously:
"You know that, too?"
Yang Chengdao replied:
"Poor Dao is the reincarnation of Zhang Tianshi, why don't you know?"
Then he said:
"Madame, could you describe your dreams to the poor road?"
The lady said with a little horror:
"In my dreams lately, I always dreamed of a man covered in blood with a blood-dripping knife chasing me around!"
Yang Chengdao nodded:
"In this way, Poor Dao has something to say to Mrs. you alone, I wonder if Mrs. is willing?"
Madame replied:
"Of course!"
Yang Chengdao glanced at the white lotus who was holding a wooden box and dressed as a man next to him, and the white lotus went with the maid willingly.
At this time, there were only two people left around the entire pavilion, Yang Chengdao and Mrs. Villa.
I only heard Yang Chengdao ask in a whisper:
"Madam, did you fail other men before you entered the palace?"
Yang Chengdao saw that his wife had been hesitating, so he said:
"Madame, there is no one else here, you can say that it doesn't matter, the poor Dao is an immortal, and he will definitely keep his mouth shut. ”
Mrs. looked at Yang Chengdao:
"You're really going to keep your mouth shut?"
Yang Chengdao stood up and pretended to leave:
"Since Madame doesn't believe in this immortal so much, the immortal has to leave. ”
Mrs. hurriedly grabbed Yang Chengdao's sleeve:
"Dao Chief, I believe in you, I believe in you!"
And then it began.
It turned out that five years ago, Wang Shishi, who lived in Zaoyang County and was only fifteen years old (that is, the real name of the current Mrs. Xiangwang Courtyard), met a Xiucailang who was only eighteen years old and had a dignified appearance called Wu Kui in the county seat.
After the two met, they soon developed affection for each other.
Although Wu Kui loves to read, his family is poor, but Master Wang's family is a big family in Zaoyang County, and Master Wang's family naturally looks down on Wu Kui.
So Wu Kui vowed to marry Master Wang after being admitted to Jinshilang, Wang's father and Wang's mother couldn't stand the bitter plea of their daughter to go back, so they had to agree to Wu Kui, if one of them was Jinshi, they promised to marry their daughter to Wu Kui.
So Wu Kui began to study hard, and went to take the exam first, but he didn't expect to come back after really winning the lift.
At this time, Wang's father and mother were very happy when they heard the news of Wu Kui's promotion, and they began to allow their daughter Wang Shishi to be with Wu Kui.
Therefore, before the entrance examination to Beijing, Wu Kui took Master Wang to Beijing to participate in the palace examination.
However, the two encountered a group of robbers on the way to Nanyang, and Wang Shishi was captured by the robbers, and since then he has lost contact with Wu Kui.
Later, I didn't expect that there was actually a fellow villager of Master Wang among the robbers, all of whom were from Zaoyang County, and out of friendship with their fellow villagers, the robbers secretly let Master Wang go.
So at this time, Master Wang also went to the capital alone.
When Master Wang arrived in the capital, half a year had already passed since the palace examination, and Master Wang had been inquiring in the capital for a few days, but he had not heard any news about Wu Kui.
At this time, there was not much left of Wang Shishi's entanglement, and it was a problem to even eat, so naturally he had no entanglement back to Zaoyang County, so he had to beg all the way back to Zaoyang County from the capital to find Wu Kui.
Wang Shishi, the daughter who has always been pampered, where can she live a begging life, when she arrived in Kaifeng, she finally fell ill on the street in Kaifeng City.
And when Master Wang woke up, he found that there was a man who had saved him, and in the days when Master Wang was sick, this man had been quietly taking care of Master Wang and had never left.
Master Wang was naturally very grateful to this man, so after recovering from his illness, he did not leave immediately, but wanted to repay the man's love first, and by the way, inquire about Wu Kui's whereabouts in this Kaifeng City.
