The master in their group is an old man in his seventies, with a tuft of gray goat beard and a pair of reading glasses.
We explained our purpose and first told Qingwan her date of birth and time.
He closed his eyes, shook his head and thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the white paper for a long time.
Then he said in a mysterious way: "There is a mystery in this Kun-shaped destiny. The Sun is weak, and there are many punishments, conflicts and harms. In addition, the star of the disease symbol is clearly visible. This is a sign of a weak constitution and lingering diseases."
I was moved by what he said, and asked anxiously, "Can it still be saved?"
As if he hadn't heard what I said, he continued, "Moreover, the five elements in your fate are biased, like a candle swaying in the wind and rain, with little vitality, indicating a short life. And there is also the sign of death, like winter ice, covering up vitality, and showing a dying state."
After saying that, she raised her head and asked, "Are you my husband?"
I nodded and said, "Tell me your date of birth, so I can see if there's any hope for her in your fortune."
I reported it to 놛 immediately, and 놛 repeated the calculation by shaking his head.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and scorching flames burst out of his pupils.
놛 said: "This gentleman, looking at your horoscope, the star of regular wealth is dim, while the star of irregular wealth is strong."
I asked in confusion: "What does that mean?"
The answer is: "Main wealth is your legal wife. Main wealth implies that if your wife has a strong fate, you will divorce her, and if she has a weak fate, she will be killed by you. As for side wealth..."
Zhang Fangfang and Zhu Qingwan immediately came to my mind. Could it be that these eight words really contain such mysteries?
놛 paused and glanced at Lin Xun and Liu Yun out of the corner of his eye.
Then he said, "Piancai refers to a side room, which in ancient times meant a concubine. Nowadays, it is fashionable to have three wives and four concubines. You can also understand it as a lover, confidant, etc. You have a strong sidecai and peach blossom star in your life, which means that there will be many women around you, and you can also get help from these women."
This was very awkward. Lin, Liu and I looked at each other, as if a fortune teller had seen through our relationship.
He went on to say, "You have both the official seal and the wealth seven killers in your fate. Once you get the order, the power, and the power, you will have a prosperous career and a high position. In the past few years, your big luck, small luck, and annual luck are all good. You will be able to rise straight up and get promoted after you are 35 years old."
These were all my concerns. I asked anxiously, "From my perspective, can my wife still be saved?"
He shook his head helplessly and said, "Life is unpredictable. You are unlucky in marriage. This situation cannot be changed by human power. She has no hope at all."
It was like I was hearing the judge pronounce the final sentence of death. My only, faint hope collapsed in an instant, and the despair made me feel like dying.
On the way back, I was in a very low mood.
Lin Xun comforted me while driving: "You are taking it too far. I think this so-called master is just talking nonsense to cheat people out of their money."
Liu Yun also echoed, "Lin Xun is right. I was deceived before. Now I see that it is just a farce."
I didn’t want them to worry too much about me, so I comforted them: “I don’t believe in these things at all. I have already said that these are just superstitions, literary dregs, feudal superstitions, and…”
I couldn't say any more. I first choked up, and then burst into tears.
Liu Yun, who was sitting next to me, put my head on her chest and said with sobs, "Go ahead and cry. There's no one here with you. Cry as much as you want. Cry as loud as you can. Don't hold it back and make yourself hurt."
Lin Xun also said with tears in his eyes while driving: "You can cry as much as you want today, but after you finish crying, you should act as if nothing happened, so that Qingwan can live happily in her last days and not let her have any regrets. Sister Yun and I will support you with all our strength behind you..."
She also burst into tears, stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.
That day, the three of us hugged each other and cried bitterly, venting all the grief that had been suppressed in our hearts.
From then on, I never shed a tear until Qingwan's life came to an end and she left me forever.
On Sunday morning, Wang Yanshu came to the hospital to visit Qingwan again, and they held hands and talked for a long time.
When I saw her off, she said to me, "Hongjun, you have to cheer up. Qingwan has become suspicious of your listlessness."
I was startled and asked her, "What did Qingwan say to you?"
She said, "Qingwan said she wanted to thank me for being the matchmaker and bringing you and her together. She said that the experience of being with you left her with no regrets."
She raised her head, stared at my face and said, "Do you think there is a problem with her saying such things at this time? So don't be so depressed. If I were you, I would see the clues at a glance."
I said, "I know. I won't do that again."
Wang Yanshu looked at me with sympathy and said to me in a soothing tone, "No one wants to face separation and death, but it is the law of nature. As long as you have loved each other deeply, your life will be perfect. You should cherish every moment with her. You should take a long-term view. You still have a long way to go in your life. She definitely hopes that you will stay depressed. The better you are, the happier she will be."
When he was sent to the hospital gate, he ran into Zhang Xiaodong who was carrying something.
Wang Yanshu and I went up to him and shook his hand and greeted him.
Wang asked: "Director Wang, are you leaving now?"
Wang Yanshu said, "I'll let you go after I see Qingwan. If there's nothing else, I'll go back in the afternoon."
Zhang Xiaodong said: "Because her child was attending cram school, Guan Shujuan was busy picking up and dropping off the child and had no time to visit Qingwan. So she felt sorry for Qingwan and took the time to make some three-fresh dumplings for Qingwan in the morning."
Wang shook the bag in his hand, and then said to Wang Yanshu: "Director Wang is really anxious, let's find someone to talk to."
Wang Yanshu and I both nodded, and I said, "You can come back once every two weeks to rest at home or help your sister-in-law. I really feel bad for you coming here."
Zhang Xiaodong snorted and teased, "You are a kind-hearted boy. Just take good care of Qingwan. This is the best way to repay me."
We all laughed and the atmosphere became relaxed.
After watching Qingwan eat dumplings served by her mother-in-law, the three of us left the ward and came to the stage where I had stood that night.
