When Qian Yunrou passed by the gate of Fengqi Academy for the third time, an old stall owner stopped her.
"Little girl, come on, come on, I think you look very good, how about I tell your fortune?"
Qian Yunrou frowned and asked tentatively: "How much do you want?"
The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled kindly: "If it were anyone else, they would have charged at least twenty cash. But I think the girl is a lucky person, so I won't charge any money."
Qian Yunrou didn't believe it: "No money?"
The old Taoist nodded and said with a smile: "I said I wouldn't accept it, so of course I won't accept it. Little girl, did you just survive a disaster some time ago, and now you have very few relatives and no one to take care of your daily life?"
Qian Yunrou's eyes lit up and she suddenly became interested.
It can also be seen that her face is unusual, and the words she speaks are similar to her current situation. It can be seen that she has really met an expert.
Qian Yunrou nodded quickly and said: "That's it, but it's all their fault. I didn't drive them away."
The old Taoist smiled, with a trace of contempt flashing in his lowered eyes. When he raised his head again, he looked friendly.
"Come on, let's sit down and talk."
Unknowingly, the old Taoist took Qian Yunrou to the roadside under the shade of a tree and sat on a stone bench built by the academy for tourists to sit on.
The old Taoist spoke eloquently, first saying that Qian Yunrou was born in a merchant family, and then that she would definitely be rich and powerful in the future. The person she married was the number one scholar in the dynasty, and she was destined to be granted a royal title. Finally, he talked about Qian Yunrou's current fate.
There are obstacles, and these obstacles must be removed to achieve success.
Qian Yunrou was very excited and quickly asked how to remove it.
The old Taoist said: "The secret must not be leaked. How to remove it depends on the girl's own ability."
Qian Yunrou immediately blushed. If she had the ability, would she still be upset here?
She immediately reluctantly took out a tael of silver. She didn't have much private money now and couldn't spend it carelessly.
When the old Taoist saw the silver, his eyes did not waver.
Qian Yunrou squeezed her fist and added another one or two.
"Two taels of silver, no more. If you don't tell me, I will find someone else."
The old Taoist was in a dilemma for a while, but when Qian Yunrou was about to take back his hand, he decisively took the silver.
In fact, Qian Yunrou regretted it the moment she saw the old Taoist take the money.
But before she could speak, the old Taoist spoke: "Do you know the Red Sect?"
Qian Yunrou immediately perked up her ears and nodded quickly.
"Know."
The old Taoist said: "This matter is too important. Let's go to your house to talk about it. Otherwise, if we talk about it outside, I'm afraid..."
Qian Yunrou immediately said: "Okay, you go home with me and talk."
The old Taoist looked at Qian Yunrou, who was unsuspecting, and frowned. How could such an idiot survive?
Aren't you afraid that when he comes to your door, he will steal your wealth and sex?
If he hadn't had a mission today...
He has a task today, but he won’t have one tomorrow?
The old Taoist turned his eyes, paused while stroking his beard, and smiled even more kindly.
…
In the evening, Wang Xiu was waiting for Lu Yunhong to go home together.
Under the wall of the academy, looking at the elegant graffiti, she finally found Lu Yunhong's painting.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunhong's painting style this time is not a demonstration of his painting skills and his advanced painting method that does not show landscapes, but a warm and simple daily life.
Under the two simple thatched houses, there is a red lantern. There is a tall pine tree in front of the door, and there is a stone bridge next to the tree. Two people are coming together, walking across the stone bridge, like
I came back from an outing and was about to return home.
The curling smoke of fireworks looks so harmonious in the vast sky and earth.
The mountains and rivers in the distance are all faint ink marks, but these two people are colored, one red and one blue, and they stand out among the ink.
It's like, in the confused world, everything around you is unimportant, only the people around you, the one who is by your side, is where your heart is.
The two people carrying everything home together, holding hands intimately, seemed to be listening tenderly, and seemed to be whispering quietly, giving people unlimited imagination.
Unknowingly, Wang Xiu showed a yearning look.
She hopes that in their twilight years, she and Lu Yunhong can be like the one in this painting. By then they will be retiring in Fengqi Academy. Lu Yunhong will come to teach the students, and she will sit in the infirmary. After Lu Yunhong finishes his class, they will be together again
Take them back together.
Life is a long road, and it is always warm and sweet to have someone by your side.
When Fengqi Academy was first built, she hoped that her father-in-law Lu Shouchang would have someone to rely on. Of course, this was also the escape route she prepared for herself and Lu Yunhong.
Above the court, the situation was treacherous. If the Wang family had not already been involved, she would rather retreat to the countryside with Lu Yunhong and live a plain and happy life.
But now, they can't.
Finally, Lu Yunhong came.
From a distance, he saw Wang Xiu standing in front of the mural. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and his expression became particularly comfortable.
I saw him walking over, hugging Wang Xiu and asking, "How are you doing? Have you seen our shadow?"
Wang Xiu shook his head deliberately: "No."
Lu Yunhong hummed: "It doesn't matter if you can't see it, but everyone knows that the people I draw are you and me."
"I guess they will color and maintain this painting regularly in the future, because it represents the two of us and the beginning of Fengqi Academy."
Wang Xiu was stunned and then asked in surprise: "Did you do all this on purpose?"
Lu Yunhong said: "Of course. I heard from Qian Liangcai that you specially reserved this area for me, and asked people to cover it with something to prevent them from painting."
"I just like the way you prefer me. No matter who comes or who wants to paint, there is always a place reserved for me in your heart. Do you think I will waste it?"
Wang Xiu: "..."
Her words of love are so plausible, she has learned a lot!
Wang Xiu took Lu Yunhong's hand and asked, "Where have you been? I didn't even find you just now."
Lu Yunhong didn't want to lie to her, so he lowered his head and chuckled: "I found a Taoist priest to figure it out."
Wang Xiu looked at him in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Lu Yunhong said: "How many children can we have?"
Wang Xiu: "..."
"several?"
Lu Yunhong said boldly: "Three."
Wang Xiu: "..."
"Okay, you can give birth by yourself!"
Lu Yunhong hugged her and said, "You have to understand him. After all, it's not easy to make two dollars. He's afraid that I won't give him the money if he says it's less."
"puff."
Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was repeating what the Taoist priest said.
But who knows if he had selfish motives and deliberately used such words to test her?
Wang Xiu immediately glared at him and said angrily: "I have the final say on how many children you have, and it has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yunhong knew the current situation and said: "Of course. Who am I? I just contribute a little bit. Then my wife must say it's okay before I can do anything."
Wang Xiu: "..."
Driving again, right?
She turned her head to look at Lu Yunhong, her eyes slightly cold.
