Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 240 Fortune Teller

The sun is shining brightly.

Yesterday was the "Day of the Seventh Break" of the Seventh Young Master of the Hu Mansion. Fifth Auntie was wearing a gray brocade robe and a few plain hairpin rings on her head. She stood outside the ancestral hall. The group of steles made a sound similar to howling ghosts and wolves.

The ancestral hall was built by Kanehu in accordance with the customs of the Central Plains, but it does not enshrine too many ancestors. Except that the form is more like other family ancestral halls, the rules inside are also messy. The stele of the young lady and even the aunt is just to add something to the magnificent ancestral hall that was built.

Fifth Yiniang likes to blow the morning breeze in such an open place, which reminds her of the good time with her son more than ten years ago, without fear, and without the grief caused by the death of her father, brother and son.

The funeral organized by Nan Surou for the Seventh Young Master Hu Yun was extremely grand. According to the traditional customs of the Central Plains, the wake ceremony was held in the other courtyard of the Hu Mansion, and people from the Yun Mansion were "invited" to come and make up for Hu Yun.

After the death of the third prince, the great vengeance was avenged. Fifth Yiniang's troubled heart calmed down a little bit, but Nan Surou's actions made her feel warm at this bleak moment.

The people in the Yun Mansion were very skilled in making up Hu Yun's body, just like dressing up a bride, so that Hu Yun could be buried with the most beautiful appearance.

It's just that at this important moment, Nan Surou, who arranged the grand funeral, was unable to attend for some reason.

Even so, Wu Yiniang knew something in her heart, she knew that there was an undercurrent in Hu's residence, many people hoped that Nan Surou would not come back, even she thought so.

Although Nan Surou helped her, she thought it was what Nan Surou had to do, because Hu Yung went to Yuncui Pavilion because of Nan Surou's suggestion, and that's why he was in trouble. After all, Nan Surou was here There is an inescapable responsibility in this matter.

What's more, the arrival of Nan Surou has taken away the rights in her hands. She has nothing now. For her own future, she hopes that part of the housekeeping rights can return to her hands.

Therefore, after everything was settled, Wu Yiniang came to the outskirts of the ancestral hall to worship the seventh young master Hu Yun, but secretly prayed like a god, hoping that Nan Surou would never come back again.

The sun has climbed to the top of the head, and Wu Yiniang is planning to return to her residence after worshiping.

Unexpectedly, the second wife, Shi Yajun, was waiting for her under the shade of a tree not far away with a gentle smile on her face.

Wu Yiniang was disdainful in her heart. Before Nan Surou came to Hu's residence, the second wife, Shi Yajun, had fought openly and secretly with her for many years. Recently, this former rival was inexplicably affectionate to her, and even accompanied her to guard Hu Yun. Needless to say, she knew why.

Fifth Yiniang saw all of this, she smiled politely towards Shi Yajun who was not far away.

Fifth Yiniang was unmoved, she bowed to Shi Yajun, intending to pass by.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yajun stopped her: "Fifth Aunt..."

"Second madam, thank you for accompanying my concubine as the seventh young master Shouqi." Fifth aunt had to stop and said respectfully.

"Don't say that, we are a family after all. I watched the seventh child grow up. People's hearts are fleshy, and they have some feelings. Yesterday was the day when he died." Shi Yajun showed Regretful expression.

"Yes..." Fifth Yiniang's eyes showed sadness.

"More than a month ago, before he went to Yuncui Pavilion, he was still alive and kicking, but he would encounter unexpected disasters if he didn't make it, alas..." Shi Yajun sighed.

"Yeah, my concubine can't calm down even now." Fifth Aunt said in a low voice, "My elder brother just passed away last year, and my mother's family has no support. I didn't expect to meet Yun'er again. Alas, this concubine is really lucky. Suffering, so that you will suffer misfortune one after another."

"It's really hard for you, did those Taoist priests finish the water and land dojo yesterday?" After finishing speaking, Shi Yajun rolled his eyes and pointed out: "Oh, the things at home are all about Miss Su Rou. She took care of it, but she went back to Luming to worship. She was supposed to come back a few days ago to preside over it, but she hasn't come back yet. The master is really serious. How can she take care of such a big back house for a little girl? so much?"

Fifth Yiniang lowered her eyes, concealing a flash of sarcasm, and said in a low voice: "That's not to say, since Miss Su Rou came to power, we have gained a lot of benefits in the back house. Although she is young, she can still handle everything. Fair enough."

Shi Yajun smiled and said: "It's only you who think so, well, Lao Qi is gone, if you continue to be depressed because of this, your body will also collapse."

Fifth Yiniang silently nodded.

Suddenly, Shi Yajun changed the subject and said: "By the way, let me ask a fortune teller I know to give you a divination. Many people look to him to tell good or bad luck, and it is very accurate."

"Huh? But... the concubine doesn't really believe in these things..." Wu Yiniang didn't know that Shi Yajun wanted to make a fuss about this, so she immediately refused.

How could Shi Yajun let her go, held her hand, and said: "Anyway, it won't take much time, you just pretend that you have been cheated, come with me to have a look."

"Well... since the second wife has said so, the hospitality is hard to turn down, so I should go and have a look." Fifth Yiniang couldn't resist, so she had no choice but to agree.

Shi Yajun led Wu Yiniang with a smile, and stepped into the carriage leaving the house.

When it was almost noon, the carriage came to the foot of Xixia Mountain, and Shi Yajun took Wu Yiniang out of the carriage.

Fifth Yiniang did not expect that Shi Yajun brought her here.

There is a Yunfeng Taoist temple on Xixia Mountain, where incense is flourishing all the year round, and it is very famous. Here, a stick of incense costs one tael of silver, and the price is even higher for unwrapping the lottery.

Shi Yajun managed all the way, finally joined the queue, and took Wu Yiniang into the depths of the Taoist temple.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard a clear voice from inside, "My two ladies, I will be waiting for you for a long time."

This Taoist priest was born with a fairy-like appearance, and when Wu Yiniang looked at it, she felt that she should not be profaned.

Before Wu Yiniang could think clearly, she heard Shi Yajun respectfully introduce: "This is Song Ruoshui Taoist priest."

"I've met the Taoist priest." Wu Yiniang bowed to Song Ruoshui, thinking in her mind that the name of the person in front of her had never been heard before, so she wondered if there was something wrong.

As soon as Wu Yiniang finished the salute, she heard Shi Yajun say impatiently: "Master Song, you told me a few days ago that you put a jade statue of Pixiu in the East Wing. The monthly profit is 3000 taels of silver, thank you so much for your guidance."

3000 taels of silver?
Hearing this amount of money, Fifth Yiniang's heart skipped a beat.

Hearing Song Ruoshui's loud and unpredictable voice, he nodded kindly and said: "Don't dare not dare, sometimes there must be fate in fate, and there is no time in fate, so don't force it, it means that the young master has this fate, and the poor way is just conforming to it." Destiny."
