"Why hasn't my sister come to the palace for so long? But have you forgotten my sister?" Seeing Su Jin coming in, Nalan Mingzhu got off the bed and took her hand, a smile appeared on her pale face .

Su Jin is half a year older than Nalan Mingzhu, and the two hit it off since they were young, and they hit it off right away. For this reason, Su Jin is often called into the palace to chat and play with her. Constantly coming and going.

"I wanted to come and visit the Princess, but my mother stayed at home to study female celebrities. She said she was afraid that I would disturb the Princess's rest. The Princess has been better recently?" Su Jin is tall, plump, and her skin is not very fair. It's not very beautiful, but she is very easy-going, revealing a healthy and energetic atmosphere all over her body.

"It's still the same. It's not going to be much better or worse. It's just that the weather is getting warmer. I feel that I have some strength in my body. The imperial doctor said that I should go out more often to stretch my muscles and bones. I don't have anyone to accompany me. I'm too lazy to move, no, so I begged my concubine to invite my sister into the palace." Nalan Mingzhu smiled faintly, walked to the dressing table, sat down, and a maid hurriedly came forward to help her dress up.

"The peach blossoms at the foot of Lingluo Mountain are in full bloom, and the flower market there is also in full bloom. There are a lot of people going to enjoy the flowers. Why don't we go and see them?" Su Jin said casually.

"Okay, let's go to Lingluo Mountain, today." Nalan Mingzhu turned his head and looked out the window, it was sunny outside.

Hearing this, Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward, picked up the gold hairpin and jade hairpin on the table, and pinned it carefully to her temples.Bending down to look at the beautiful face in the mirror, he said with a smile: "The princess is beautiful and heavenly, if I go to Lingluo Mountain, I'm afraid Baihua will lose her color!"

"Sister, I'm joking. No matter how beautiful I am, others won't take a second look!" Nalan Mingzhu sighed, took a few gold hairpins from her temples, and said, "Since we are going to enjoy flowers, we don't need to wear these vulgar things. It’s better to be natural, just wear a few silk flowers.”

"I heard that the Kingdom of Shu has frequently invaded the border of the Yue clan recently, and the two sides have been in constant conflict. Yuzhou City is a border city, and it is also the closest to the Yue clan. The so-called fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond. It is probably because of this reason that my father let Master Xiao go back. He’s from Yuzhou, after all, he’s familiar with it!” Su Jin understood, and gave the maid beside her a wink, and the maid hurriedly put away the jewelry.He took out a few strings of silk flowers and handed them to her.Su Jin took the silk flowers and pinned them to her temples again, and looked at them carefully. This Yuzhou brocade really deserves its reputation. The silk flowers made are as thin as cicada's wings and lifelike!

"Sister, don't comfort me, I know. Master Xiao insisted on going back, even if there were no such things, he would go back." Nalan Mingzhu smiled faintly, "He doesn't like me!"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't deserve it. Think about it, how can he be worthy of the princess?" Su Jin finished dressing her, took the cloak and put it on her, and said with a smile, "Men in the world are all fickle. We can't afford to worry about the thin lover!"

"Sister will comfort me!" Nalan Mingzhu twitched the corners of her mouth, frowned slightly, stepped forward to take her hand, met her looking eyes, and forced a smile.

The two walked out of the Evergreen Pavilion.

The sun is shining outside, the blue sky is like washing, there is no wind, and the branches that have just sprouted buds hang there quietly, motionless.

At the foot of Lingluo Mountain, it really is a happy scene.

A large area of ​​peach blossoms is in full bloom, the field of vision is pink and white, and the air is filled with bursts of fragrance, which is refreshing and refreshing. In the peach forest, there are many tourists, crowds of people, and laughter everywhere.

Under the flowers among the trees, literati and poets are naturally indispensable. From time to time, the sound of the flute comes, which is beautiful and melodious, touching the heart.

On the side of the road, there have long been merchants who have filled a long row of stalls, with food, supplies, clothing, everything that one expects to find, and it is as lively as a market.

The only tea shed was also full of people. People who were tired from playing were resting and chatting there. A large copper-colored teapot engraved with patterns was bubbling with steam, and the overflowing tea fragrance attracted the footsteps outside the tea shed. Voice.

Su Jin and Nalan Mingzhu Yingying got out of the carriage and immediately attracted several amazed gazes, but when they saw the people following them, those gazes suddenly looked away. These two women are obviously rich or expensive people Miss, look again, beware of being beaten.

The two walked into the peach grove arm in arm. Looking at the charming peach blossoms, there were some smiles on their faces. They followed the crowd and walked in excitedly. The maids and guards behind them followed closely behind.

Not far away, there was a circle of people, as if there was something new.

The two looked at each other and moved over curiously.

"Marriage is counted under the peach blossom tree. If there is a fate, it will be thousands of miles away. If there is no fate, you will not know each other. If you have fate, you will count it. Don't treat your beloved as a passerby!" An old man dressed as a man sat cross-legged under the tree. The Taoist robes have a somewhat fairy-like taste.

Several women covered their mouths and laughed, pushing and shoving each other. No one was ashamed to step forward to make a calculation, but they just whispered around and laughed a few times from time to time.

Su Jin and Nalan Mingzhu couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

"Princess, why don't we go to the front to rest first?" Seeing that her forehead was sweating, Su Jin quickly took out a handkerchief, wiped it for her, and said in a low voice.

"No need." Nalan Mingzhu stroked his chest, collected himself, and said, "Let's stand here and have a look."

"En." Su Jin stepped forward to take her arm and took a few steps forward.

"My little girl is willing to do the math." A moment later, a woman in green boldly stepped forward and stood still in front of the old Taoist. A blush immediately appeared on her fair face, and she stepped forward and said openly, "Can the Taoist priest come forward?" Do the math for the little girl, when will I meet my lover?"

Behind him, there was a burst of laughter immediately.

"Girl's marriage is predestined, so is it still considered a lover?" The old Taoist opened his eyes, looked at her, and said calmly, "The most dead tree is spring!"

"I heard that she had a marriage contract, but it's a pity that her in-law's family has fallen into disrepair. She went away a few years ago and has not heard from her so far. Presumably, that relative doesn't count?" Behind her, a woman whispered to her companion.

"That's right! According to our local customs, if you reach the age when the two families meet and there is no news from one party, it will be considered as a divorce." The female companion beside him replied.

"Spring comes with a dead tree?" The green-clothed woman looked at the old Taoist in bewilderment, "I hope the Taoist priest will give a clear instruction!"

The old man smiled and remained silent.

"Oh, sister, why did you come here? The family is looking for you like crazy." A woman walked over from the crowd, stepped forward to grab the woman in green, and said. "Mr. Feng's family is back, and mother-in-law wants you to go home quickly."

"Which one is Yuanwai Feng?" The woman in green looked at her sister-in-law with doubts on her face.

"It's the one you were engaged to before." The woman dragged her out as she spoke.

The big girls and the young daughter-in-law were stunned for a moment, looking at the two sisters-in-law who left in a hurry, their faces were full of surprise, so clever?

They saw that the hexagram was so effective.Ignoring the shyness, they all rushed forward to let the old man do the math.

"The old Taoist lives in the world, sleeps in the open, and only has this skill. I hope everyone will understand, one tael of silver is one hexagram. The silver is fine!" The old Taoist slowly swept through the crowd and took out a cloth bag.Put it in front of you and say it word by word.

"One tael of silver?" Everyone was in an uproar, stealing money!

"Earlier, I counted one that didn't cost money, so why do I need to collect money after the counting?"

"That's right, he's still a monk! See money!"

"Let's go, let's go! It doesn't matter, the marriage is there, and the lover can't escape." Everyone muttered.Immediately dispersed like a bird.

Only Su Jin and Nalan Mingzhu were left standing there.

Nalan Mingzhu glanced at Su Jin, and Su Jin understood.Going forward, he took out a silver ingot, put it in the old Taoist's cloth bag, and said softly: "It's a long time, we want to count it."

"Although the girl's marriage has not changed, the man she was destined to meet has already appeared, but the girl has always regarded the man as a passer-by!" The old man looked up at her, and said calmly, "A girl's life is invaluable , lovers, naturally they are not ordinary people."

"Thank you, Daoist!" Su Jin stepped forward, gave him a salute, and retreated to Nalan Mingzhu's side.

When Nalan Mingzhu saw the Taoist priest looking at her, she couldn't help feeling nervous, as if he had seen through all her thoughts at a glance, and her face turned red accordingly.

"This girl, Hongluan, has moved, but her lover has not appeared for a long time. It's not that a lover is hard to find, but that the girl herself is too expensive and unapproachable." The Taoist priest said slowly, then lowered his head , stretched out his hand, counted with a dignified expression.

Nalan Mingzhu looked at the old man's finger counting up and down, and his heart sank.

At this time, some people surrounded him, pointing and looking at the old Taoist from time to time.

Nalan Mingzhu couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"Girl, please take a step to talk." The old Taoist saw her thoughts, stood up, and took a few steps forward.

Nalan Mingzhu followed happily.

Su Jin also hurriedly followed behind her.

"It's okay, sister is waiting for me here." Nalan Mingzhu smiled at her, "It's just a hexagram!"

Su Jin had no choice but to stop, seeing the old man whispered a few words to her, Nalan Mingzhu's eyes dimmed immediately, curtsied slightly to him, and retreated.

"Princess, what did the priest say?" Su Jin looked at her and said softly, "We're just curious, don't take it seriously. Fortune-telling is often ambiguous and inaccurate."

"Nothing!" Nalan Mingzhu said expressionlessly, "The priest just said some specious things!"

"I'll just say it!" Su Jin said disapprovingly, "How can you take the words of a quack warlock seriously?"

The two got into the carriage and were silent all the way.

"Father, did you arrange that priest?" As soon as Su Jin returned home, he went straight to the study, saw Hou Zhongyi splashing ink there, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"What's the point of making such a fuss?" Hou Zhongyi saw his daughter walking in hurriedly, and blamed him, "What Taoist priest, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"Father, don't lie to me. Didn't you ask me to accompany the princess to the foot of Lingluo Mountain?" Su Jinjiao said angrily, "As soon as we went, we ran into the Taoist priest who told the fortune teller, and he said it wasn't arranged by you." ?”

"I asked you to accompany the Princess for a walk down the mountain. That's because I know that the flower market there has already opened, so I just let you go and relax. Why should I go to such lengths to arrange someone to tell your fortune?" Hou Zhongyi looked at it in disbelief. Looking at her, "You guys actually met a fortune teller, what kind of hexagram did you get, let me hear it?" (To be continued.
