Chapter Fifty-Six: A Blessed Marriage(1/2)
Knowing that the clues to the Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty are in Tianshi Cave, Yue Leiting is happiest. Although he lost to Lan Qing today, he seems numb after losing for more than 20 years. As long as he can find the Fourteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty.
, Yue Leiting really plans to stop, and if he continues to bet with Lan Qing like this, I am afraid that Lan Qing will not leave Yiyuan the day he dies.
Lan Qing was in a very good mood today, especially after seeing Gu Anqi. The daughter of her old friend made her a little excited. Maybe it was because she remembered the past and insisted on leaving everyone to eat, so Lan Qing cooked the food herself.
Seeing Yue Leiting still drinking tea carelessly, Yue Qianling snatched the tea cup from his hand angrily and nodded to the kitchen. Yue Leiting understood and laughed and ran to the kitchen to help.
Just as Gu Anqi wanted to go in and talk to Lan Qing, she was pulled away by Xiao Lianshan.
"Can you give me a little wink? Brother Ting is meeting on the Magpie Bridge. We only get this chance a few times a year. Brother Ting and Aunt Lan spend the night talking to each other. Why are you doing the work?"
Only then did Gu Anqi react and actually touched Xiao Lianshan's head and said with a smile.
"Haha, I suddenly had an idea after not seeing each other for a few days."
Chu Tianci was still thinking about Tianshi Cave. It was obvious that this was no longer a secret. At least the mysterious man knew much more than he knew, and he knew it earlier. Without further ado, Chu Tianci planned to rush to Tianshi after returning.
Shidong.
As soon as she turned around, she found that Yue Qianling was standing behind her, and when she turned around, she almost touched her forehead.
"Why don't you make any sound when you walk?"
"Chu Tianci, I didn't realize it. You are really capable." Yue Qianling looked at him with a half-smile and said.
"I...I didn't provoke you today?" Chu Tianci subconsciously took a step back. At this distance, Yue Qianling couldn't hit him.
"You didn't provoke me, but you provoked my dad!"
"Brother Ting?!" Chu Tianci thought for a while and said with a confused smile. "When did I provoke Brother Ting?"
"Just pretend, don't think I don't know. There's no one here now. I'll give you a chance to confess." Yue Qianling blocked Chu Tianci's path and said seriously.
"Confess? I...what do I have to confess?" Chu Tianci asked aggrievedly.
"Okay, if you don't say yes, I'm going to go in and tell my dad that he didn't win against my mom today because of your trouble."
After Yue Qianling finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave. Chu Tianci became anxious and quickly held her back.
"You must not cause trouble in this matter. I am doing this for Brother Ting's own good and cannot let him win. Besides, Aunt Lan has good intentions. Don't let Aunt Lan down for her twenty years of service to you and Brother Ting."
"It's a joke, look at what you said. My dad can obviously beat my mom today. She left home when I was three years old. Now you have the chance to go back with me, but you come out to cause trouble. How can you feel at ease?"
Yue Qianling's voice got louder and louder. Chu Tianci was afraid that Yue Leiting would hear her, so he dragged her towards the garden.
"Do you know why your dad hasn't been able to win for more than 20 years?"
"He's just unlucky. I've never seen anyone do it like this. In terms of probability, there's a good chance of winning once every twenty times, but he can't win even once."
"Haha, that's as simple as you think." Chu Tianci smiled faintly and whispered. "Don't forget what Aunt Lan is studying."
"..." Yue Qianling suddenly remembered the experience Lan Qing just mentioned and said in shock. "You mean...my mother deliberately made it impossible for my father to win?"
"Did you see there was a pool when we came in?"
Yue Qianling nodded.
"There are several stone boats inside, which are called straw boat borrowing arrows." Chu Tianci pointed to the pool and said. "You didn't realize that the position where your dad is sitting is just facing the stone boat. This is Aunt Lan's deliberate arrangement. The straw boat borrowing arrows
Zhuge Liang has made a lot of money with his arrows, but Brother Ting is going bankrupt even if he sits in that position."
Yue Qianling thought for a while and shook her head.
"You're just talking nonsense. I pay my dad every year. Although my dad does sit in that spot more often, I also remember that there were times when he drank my mom's position upside down, and I didn't see him win against my mom.
.”
Chu Tianci smiled and said calmly.
"Who is Aunt Lan? Gu Anqi is an expert in Feng Shui and Kanyu. Think about it, she learned it from her father Gu Liancheng, and Gu Liancheng is Aunt Lan's senior brother. Do you think Aunt Lan is just an ordinary person?
"
"Then...is there anything mysterious about it?" Yue Qianling thought about it and what Chu Tianci said was right.
"There are three willow trees at the door, two in front and one behind. There is a big bluestone in the middle. The willow trees hang down but they don't touch the bluestone. What does that bluestone look like?"
"Like... haha, quite like a pig with its head raised."
"What does Brother Ting belong to?"
"My dad is born in the year of Pig!" Yue Qianling knew as soon as she finished speaking that there was another mystery. "Does this have anything to do with my dad's zodiac sign?"
"The big bluestone in the middle is indeed a pig with its head upturned. It wants to eat, but it can't reach it no matter how hard it is. The three willow trees, two in front and one behind, are in the shape of a "pin", and it is an upside-down "pin". Think about it,
Can you still eat if I put you upside down?"
Yue Qianling shook her head and whispered.
"No wonder my dad loses a little bit to my mom every time. It turns out my mom did something wrong."
"That's not all. The earth bridge cuts the stream in half. Water controls wealth, and earth controls water. Use earth to cut off water. People who pass by the bridge will definitely lose in bets in front of Aunt Lan. Moreover, there are two in front and behind the earth bridge.
Magpies, when added together, are four. The word four is the same as death, so it becomes a dead bird. Magpies are the birds that attract wealth. If they become a dead bird, they will lose everything."
"Oh, so that's the reason. No wonder I saw you asking my dad to take off your shoes and step across the water instead of walking on the earth bridge."
"I originally planned to let Brother Ting win..."
"Admit it, I knew you were making trouble. What's your state of mind? Are you unwilling to see our family reunited?" Yue Qianling rolled her eyes at him and said angrily.
"I asked Brother Ting not to walk on the earth bridge, but to cross the water. The water under his feet will bring wealth and fortune. Then I put the willow leaves on Brother Ting's feet, breaking Aunt Lan's pig-eating situation. Brother Ting only needs to
You can see the willow leaves by lowering your head, just like a pig can eat by lowering its head."
"In this case, why did my dad still lose?"
"I asked Brother Ting to take out the lighter and point it at the stone boat in the pool at the door, and at the same time take the willow leaves off his feet."
"Lighter?" Yue Qianling asked in surprise. "Why is this?"
"The straw boat borrows arrows, what are the arrows made of?"
"It's made of metal!"
"What are lighters made of?"
"Of course lighters are also..." Yue Qianling nodded with sudden realization. "Lighters are also made of metal. You asked my dad to fulfill the allusion of borrowing arrows from a straw boat. Money is gold. What you borrowed is not an arrow, but my dad's.
Luck in wealth is also luck in gambling.”
Chu Tianci smiled and nodded, feeling that Yue Qianling was quite smart.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because of the beauty mark on Aunt Lan's mouth!" Chu Tianci slowly put away his smile and said regretfully. "Actually, that's not a beauty mark at all, it's called a bitter star mole! I'm also curious about why Aunt Lan left when you were three years old.
You, as a mother, it is so unbearable for a mother to leave her children. When I saw the mole on Aunt Lan’s mouth, I realized Aunt Lan’s good intentions. She did this entirely for you and Brother Ting.
.”
"...For me and my dad? That's why she left us? What's your logic?" Yue Qianling asked in surprise.
"With a bitter star on your face, you will suffer punishment from your closest relatives! If you have an heir like a daughter, disaster will never leave you!"
"What do these two sentences mean?"
"People with bitter star nevus on their faces will hinder their close relatives. If the child is a girl, if they stay around, there will be constant disasters." Chu Tianci sighed and said sadly. "Aunt Lan is proficient in divination and fortune-telling.
How could someone with a bitter star not know that in order not to be punished?
To defeat you and Brother Ting, she can only avoid you. Although the bitter star nevus is unknown, the bitter star nevus will bring prosperity to your wife and daughter. As long as she is not close to you, it will make things smooth for you. Brother Ting is a good example. He has six
The ten years of good luck are due to Aunt Lan who encouraged him."
"..." Yue Qianling's eyes were moist. She didn't expect that Lan Qing had sacrificed so much for herself and Yue Leiting. She was not sensible when she was a child, and she had resented Lan Qing for a long time. "She never told us that she was alone.
People endure so much."
"Aunt Lan refused to say it because she knew Brother Ting's temper. If Brother Ting knew about this, he would definitely not let Aunt Lan leave. That's why Aunt Lan made an excuse and said that Brother Ting left home in anger because he was trying to find something to do.
She won't go back until she wins."
During the meal, Yue Qianling suddenly became quiet. Chu Tianci was afraid that she couldn't help but say what he just said, so he sat next to her and was always on guard.
Lan Qing seemed to have noticed Yue Qianling's depressed look and said with a smile.
"What's wrong today? You usually talk the most. Is the food I cook not delicious?"
Yue Qianling forced a smile to please Lan Qing.
"Mom, I didn't know you could do fortune-telling, why don't you give me a divination test?"
"Haha, the sun is out in the west today. You are also a graduate student after all. How can you believe these things?" Lan Qing smiled happily and suddenly said thoughtfully. "Qian Ling has grown up.
This year, your peach blossoms will be in the palace of husband and wife, and the red luan will be next to the destined beauty. It seems that the red luan star is moving, haha, I will calculate your marriage luck."
"Mom, why are you counting this again?" Yue Qianling blushed and lowered her head. Chu Tianci had also said before that his red star was moving, and she was curious and wanted to hear what Lan Qing said. "Mom, don't be so troublesome.
I’ll just test one word.”
"Haha, okay, but there are rules in the industry. I have been collecting mountains for a long time. If you want to test calligraphy, you have to pay me."
"Mom, you are so evil. You charge money to test your daughter's calligraphy!"
