After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 30 A fortune teller

The corners of Yuan Qi's lips curved. This person had merit and virtue, and was not a gambler obsessed with gambling. It would be better if he could help.

"Don't worry about it. Your wife has given birth to a son."

The man beamed with joy and knelt down to kowtow to Yuan Qi: "To tell you the truth, my wife is not in good health and she almost lost the baby in her belly several times. The doctor said that she needs to take birth control pills, but I don't have enough money, so I just wanted to Go to the gambling house to try your luck. If you win, you can give my wife some more medicine to give birth safely. Xiao Daoist, is my wife safe? Do I really have a good son? "

Yuan Qi took out a peace talisman and handed it to the man: "You will know later. This is the peace talisman. Take it. Work more to make money in the future, and stop gambling."

The man left with a lot of thanks.

A gray-haired man eating noodles at the Zhang Liu Noodle stall kept looking this way.

After he finished eating the noodles, he paid Zhang Liu and walked over to Yuan Qi.

He has gray hair on his temples and looks to be in his forties or fifties. He is wearing a long white gown, and he looks like he must have passed the scientific examination this year. He was looking at what happened to the man just now and realized that what Yuan Qi said was right, so he thought about it.

"Little girl, do you think I can win?" The man took out a piece of silver and placed it in front of Yuan Qi. "My name is Fan Tong, from Heyang. I won the imperial examination at the age of nineteen. The whole family thought I was a He is such a good student, he asked me to concentrate on studying, and I passed the exam..."

He counted on his fingers: "Thirty years, little girl, do you think I can pass the Jinshi examination this year?"

Yuan Qi shook his head: "Your official position is not prosperous, so being able to get into the imperial examination is already a blessing from your ancestors. You are very lucky in terms of wealth. If you concentrate on doing business, you will definitely be able to make money from all over the world."

Fan Tong laughed and didn't feel much regret. He just felt an unprecedented relief. He had been taking the exam for thirty years and he didn't want to take the exam again, but he didn't give up and was always troubled: "What you said is really right. I have been lucky in wealth since I was a child. When I grew up, I studied and traveled. I always found ways to make money when I ran out of money. Even if I entered a gambling house, I would win nine times out of ten."

Now that he has a son and a daughter, he has no worries about food and drink at home, and his children are all filial. His only regret is that he failed to succeed after repeated attempts.

Seeing that this person was not upset by her words, Yuan Qi smiled slightly, very like a master: "Your family is well-off, full of children and grandchildren, and your life is perfect. If you can make good use of the money in your hands and give more to good deeds, maybe one of your descendants will be the best." Some people take the imperial examination route.”

Fan Tongxi smiled brightly: "What the little Taoist said is so right. I have a grandson who is eleven years old this year. He won the title of scholar last year. His master said that he is a good candidate for studying. He asked me to find a better one for him. Studying in the academy.”

"The results have been released, the results have been released!" The crowd on Zhuque Street surged, and the students who were waiting here to see the results released rushed over there.

Fan Tong stood up and said, "I'll go take a look too. Although I failed, I still have to take a look before giving up. With what the little Taoist said today, I will no longer be obsessed with this in my life. Thank you, the little Taoist."

Before leaving, Yuan Qi gave him a peace charm.

A carriage with a green shed stopped in front of Yuan Qi's fortune-telling stall. A woman in her thirties got out of the carriage and frowned when she saw Yuan Qi.

Today was her sister's birthday, so the family just wanted to make some fun, and she passed away.

Her sister is the wife of the Fu family, and her life is prosperous. Her children are all married. Even the daughter with the birthmark on her face recently met an expert, and the birthmark on her face is expected to be removed.

As soon as my sister was happy, she decided to have a good time on her thirty-ninth birthday.

The family was chatting, and she mentioned that her grandson had been crying all day since he was born, and he cried all night long. Doctors have also seen him, and he has also invited a goddess, but it has no effect. The grandson still cries non-stop. . Her sister, Mrs. Fu, introduced her to the little Taoist priest under the big locust tree on Tianshui Street.

She ran over without even bothering to have dinner at her sister's house.

My sister said that he was a bit young, but she didn't expect him to be so young.

"Isn't this too young?" The woman hesitated and asked the maid next to her: "Is that the young master talking about her? Why is it so small?"

She looked at Yuan Qi, and Yuan Qi also looked at her. The woman was well-maintained. She looked like she was in her twenties when she was in her thirties. She must have come from a wealthy family, and she had a good face. She had two children. She was a blessed person. , but the palace of children is a bit dark, and children may get into lawsuits recently.

The maid looked around: "It should be her. There is a fortune-telling stall in the small Taoist area around here. Come up and try it. I don't think Mr. Feng is a liar."

The woman came forward, sat on the stool opposite Yuan Qi, and said with a try attitude: "Little Taoist Priest, my grandson is always crying, can you take a look at it?"

Yuan Qi saw that there was a faint evil spirit on her body. The small wisp was extremely light, as if it was contaminated from someone else.

"No problem, but this is not the price of ten taels."

The woman was very cheerful: "As long as the little Taoist priest can solve my family's problems, I can pay you any amount of money. Let's go, my home is at the end of Zhuque Street, the one with the surname Bai."

The Bai family is one of the four major families in Rongguo, with many branches. Who knows which Bai family she is talking about? Is it the natal family of her grandmother, Mrs. Bai?

Yuan Qi quickly gave up the idea. Seeing that the woman was not dressed that richly, she was probably a branch of the Bai family.

"Master Xiaodao, please get in the car with me."

Yuan Qi closed the stall happily and followed Mrs. Bai into the car.

On the way, Mrs. Bai told Yuan Qi what happened on the day her grandson captured Zhou: "On the day we captured Zhou, we prepared many objects, including a Book of Songs, a scale beam, a silver ingot, a sword, and a There were a lot of good langhao pens and an abacus. They were all spread out on the table. My grandson looked like he was a scholar. He grabbed the "Book of Songs" with one hand and the langhao pen with the other. , do you think he will study and pursue an official career in the future?"

Yuan Qi was noncommittal.

Mrs. Bai sighed: "Everyone is very happy. This is my eldest grandson, and I think it's very good. But my grandson started crying just a few moments after he was arrested. The kind of wailing, why? I can’t even coax her. I’ve been crying for three days, my voice is hoarse from crying, and I can’t stop. Except when I fall asleep when I’m tired from crying, I cry whenever I’m awake.”

"This grandson is my treasure. I quickly asked my servants to call the doctor. The doctor said that the child was not sick. So I called the goddess. The goddess told us to find rice and water and put them on the bedside of the child. , chanted for a while, the child was quiet for a while, and then started crying again. The goddess chanted again, but it didn't work anymore."

In no time, the White House arrived.

Mrs. Bai led Yuan Qi in, and Yuan Qi discovered that something was wrong with the Bai family.
