Green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance staining clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, delicate hands pluck stars, making neon into garments.

Chapter 68 Marriage
Lin Hao smiled brightly: "Sir, you still remember me? You have a really good memory."
The person blowing the candy figure on the side curled his lips.
What good memory? There are not many people coming to her house all day long. Anyone can remember this little girl.
"Sir, can you tell my fortune?" Lin Hao sat down on the small stool in front of the fortune-telling stall and asked with a smile.
Master Mingxin frowned: "Didn't the little girl ask someone to tell her fortune a few months ago?"
Lin Hao glanced down at the bridge and whispered, "I asked that fortune teller to tell me my fortune, but he wasn't right!"
When she lowered her voice, several vendors subconsciously pricked up their ears, and when they heard what she said, they immediately looked strange.
How did Mr. Li, the fortune teller under the bridge, offend this little girl?
Lin Haocai didn't care what these vendors thought. He sighed helplessly and said, "So I still want to find a master to settle it."
"What do you want to do, little girl?"
Lin Hao smiled: "Marriage."
The vendors: This little girl is so shameless.
"Sir, can you help me calculate it?" Lin Hao looked at Master Mingxin calmly.
As a girl in her prime, of course she wants to get married.
Ming Xin Zhenren moved his fingers and stood up. "I've said it before, the more you calculate your fate, the worse it gets. It's not suitable for a girl like you. If you want to find a partner, you might as well burn incense and pray to Buddha."
Seeing Master Mingxin skillfully put away his disguise and leave, Lin Hao chased after him, leading the donkey: "Sir, sir, could it be that my fate is extraordinary and I will have great fortune in the future, so you don't dare to calculate it?"
Master Mingxin paused, twitching his lips: "Little girl, don't flatter yourself."
"Then why won't you tell me my fortune?"
Master Mingxin looked at Lin Hao deeply and shook his head: "Because there is nothing to count."
After he said that, he ignored Lin Hao and walked forward quickly.
Lin Hao held Lin Xiaohua's hand and followed slowly behind.
Du Qing, who was secretly protecting Master Mingxin, showed a fierce look several times, but without Master Mingxin's signal, he could only remain inactive.
"Little girl, if you keep following me, we will reach my house." Master Mingxin stopped and looked slightly gloomy.
Lin Hao bit his lip, showing a bit of stubbornness: "Sir, tell me your fortune, and I won't follow you."
Master Mingxin frowned: "Why did the little girl insist on looking for me?"
Lin Hao shook his head: "I don't know either. Anyway, the moment I saw you, I felt that you were a master hidden in the city."
Master Mingxin stared at Lin Hao with a deeper look in his eyes.
Lin Hao seemed unaware. He looked around and lowered his voice, "To be honest, sir, I was born in a general's mansion. If you tell my fortune, I will give you a lot of money."
After hearing her introduce herself, Master Mingxin's expression relaxed a little.
He sent Du Qing to check Lin Hao's identity and found out that she was not lying. This way, his suspicion of her ulterior motives was dispelled.
"Young lady, you come from a wealthy family. What more could you ask for?"
"Marriage!" Lin Hao frowned in distress. "To be honest, sir, my mother and sister's marriages haven't been very smooth. When I think about my own future, I feel discouraged."
Ming Xin Zhenren looked at Lin Hao intently and said, "I see that your forehead is full and your cheeks are rosy. Although there will be twists and turns in your marriage, you will eventually find happiness and joy and meet your ideal partner."
"Twists and turns?" Lin Hao's pestering Master Mingxin to calculate his marriage was just an excuse, but after hearing him say that, he still became curious.
Mingxin Zhenren stretched out a finger and said: "There is a peach blossom calamity."
Lin Hao's eyes trembled.
Peach Blossom Tribulation—Could it be referring to the prince?
Bah, bah, bah, that's not worthy of being called a peach blossom calamity, that's called bad luck.
"Is this disaster... sad?"
Ming Xin Zhenren smiled and said: "If I could be as clear-eyed and clear-minded as I am now, I wouldn't be sad."
"Thank you, sir."
"Go home, little girl, and stop bothering me." Master Mingxin quickened his pace.
"Sir, sir." Lin Hao followed closely, "You haven't collected the divination fee yet."
"Then one or two taels of silver will do." Master Mingxin said casually.
Lin Hao took out a tael of gold from his purse and handed it over.
In the sunlight, the gold sparkles and burns the eyes.
Master Mingxin has already noticed several fiery gazes.
"Too many."
Lin Hao smiled sweetly: "Master said that I would meet a good man. How can one ounce of gold be considered too much?"
She stuffed the gold into the hands of the Master Ming Xin and climbed onto the donkey: "Sir, I will ask you to tell my fortune again when I have any more questions."
Seeing Lin Hao waving his hand and riding away on his donkey, Master Mingxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally got rid of this troublesome girl.
Master Mingxin quickened his pace and turned a corner, but suddenly someone blocked the way ahead.
He turned around without changing his expression, only to find that the road behind him was also blocked.
There was a person on each side.
"Old man, hand over the gold!" someone said viciously.
Master Mingxin took out the gold from his sleeve and threw it into the man's arms: "Can I go now?"
"That won't do. You said you didn't want one or two taels of gold, so you don't want it. It shows you still have money on you!"
The people who gathered around had greedy expressions on their faces.
"Let us search you before we let you go!"
The man who got the gold reached out to grab Master Mingxin, and suddenly a scream was heard.
"My hand, my hand!" He covered his wrist and screamed, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
While they were stunned, Master Mingxin strode away.
When they came to their senses and tried to chase after him, a young man appeared in front of them and said, "Hand over the gold you just stole."
"What the hell are you - ah -" the harsh words turned into screams.
Du Qing broke the man's wrist expressionlessly and looked at the others.
The others scattered like birds and beasts.
After getting the gold back, Du Qing walked around in circles, frequently looking behind him, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous house.
He knocked rhythmically on the door.
The door opened, and standing inside was Zhenren Mingxin.
Zhenren Mingxin stepped aside to let Du Qing in.
"How about it?"
"I've questioned them, and they're just idle guys from the neighborhood. They're targeting you purely for money."
Master Mingxin shook his head: "That little girl is really capable of causing trouble."
"Master, what should we do next?"
Master Mingxin slowly scanned the furnishings in the room and sighed, "Let's move."
Although encountering robbery on the road is accidental, you should not be careless.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and with the prudence of Mingxin Zhenren, he had seven or eight places to stay in the capital. The two of them moved as soon as they said they would, quickly packing up their necessities and quietly leaving the place.
As dusk fell, Lin Hao met Liu Bo in the garden of the general's mansion.
"The fortune teller that the second lady asked me to keep an eye on has moved away in a hurry."
This was within Lin Hao's expectations.
With the teacher's caution, he would definitely avoid anything unusual.
She gave the gold piece, and it would be hard for the street thugs not to be tempted if they saw her. To help the teacher out of trouble, Du Qing would definitely take action.
What she wanted was the short time Du Qing took action, so that Liu Bo could track the teacher to his whereabouts. This way, by keeping watch ahead of them, he could quietly follow the two to their new residence.
It's true that Du Qing is a good tracker, and so is Liu Bo. Sometimes, all it takes is a moment of opportunity, a moment of haste and carelessness.
