Chapter 394 The Predestined One Is Right Before You
The old man was anxious.
"Master, please help me."
His hands were covered with calluses and cracks, and he looked particularly miserable and vicissitudes.
"My wife died early, and I raised my son alone. I let him get married and have children, and life was getting better, but he went out to sea for business and something went wrong. The whole ship was swallowed by the waves. My daughter-in-law didn't want to be a widow, so she took the family's money and ran away with her adulterer. I raised my little grandson alone."
The most difficult disease to cure in the world is poverty.
He had to take care of the child and find ways to make money for his family.
"After the child was lost, I searched for more than ten years, went to too many places, and walked too many roads. But there was nothing, only a pair of worn-out shoes."
"But I'm old now, and I can't walk for a few more years."
He was about to kneel on the ground when he said this, but was stopped by Baopu.
The old man held his hand tightly, as if holding the last straw to save his life.
"Even if I close my eyes, I can't face my wife and children down there."
People around helped to speak.
"God has mercy on me, Taoist priest, please help him."
Someone pouted.
"The child has been missing for so many years, and the officials in the government office can't do anything. Let alone other places, aren't there a few children missing in Beijing every year? No matter how powerful the Taoist priest is, he doesn't have this ability."
A passerby saw this.
"This Taoist priest doesn't look very old, and I don't know how people outside have praised him as a half-god. I think it's unreliable. Old man, you might as well go up the mountain to pray to Buddha."
Many people who came here for his reputation became suspicious of Baopu.
At this time, a carriage came along the official road.
It was the hook that Baopu was waiting for.
Baopu sat up slightly.
The pampered wife of Shangshu Ling, Madam Yang, was helped down by everyone.
A pretty girl stood beside her, holding her hand.
"Mother, shouldn't we go back to Shangjing first? Since my grandfather passed away, our whole family has returned to our hometown to mourn. I really want to see my old friends. The crown prince passed away, and my father was called back by the emperor to attend the funeral. I haven't seen him for many months."
Madam Yang was wearing gold and silver, so decent.
She scolded at first.
"What's more important than bowing to the Buddha? Not to mention it's on the way, you have to come even if it's not on the way."
"When we return to Shangjing, there will be plenty of time to see your friends."
Madam Yang was ready to climb the mountain without looking around, and she heard Baopu's voice from under the big tree.
Baopu was not in a hurry.
"I've read your grandson's horoscope."
"The five elements are unbalanced, the useful gods are powerless, the taboo gods are rampant, and the fate is dead."
"Do you know what it means? He's dead."
"Looking at your face, you are destined to be alone, without brothers, without a wife, and without heirs."
The old man seemed unable to accept it, and his lips trembled violently.
"No... impossible."
Bao Pu: "What's impossible?"
Bao Pu counted with his fingers: "You got a windfall more than ten years ago."
He asked: "Are you sure it was lost? Didn't you sell it because you couldn't afford it?"
"Why do you want to find it back? You've lost all your money, and your life is not going well. You miss your grandson and want someone to take care of you in your old age?"
The old man finally fled.
Bao Pu glanced at the crowd and said arrogantly: "Come to me, don't hide anything. If I want to calculate, I can even pull your underwear out."
Madam Yang didn't know when she stopped.
"Go and ask."
The old woman agreed, left,
and hurried back to whisper in Madam Yang's ear.
Madam Yang believed in these things, and was slightly stunned: "Is it really so effective?"
"Pay attention, if you really have the ability, please go back home to check the Feng Shui."
Shen Zhiyi and others came at this time.
There are many people coming to Changdu Temple, and there are also many people riding in carriages.
There is nothing strange.
But Madam Yang had sharp eyes, and she saw Xiao Huaiyan riding slowly beside the carriage.
The old woman followed her line of sight.
"Hey, that looks like the eldest son of the Xiao family."
Madam Yang was very good at dealing with people: "I think he came to burn incense with his mother. The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is a straightforward person. Since we meet, it is fate. Why not go up the mountain together."
If Xiao Huaiyan was not too dandy and out of tune.
Madam Yang would have wanted him to be her son-in-law.
Then...
the carriage stopped.
A Shen Zhiyi got off.
Madam Yang's eyelids jumped.
"I didn't know that the young master Xiao was engaged."
She glanced at Shen Zhiyi.
"She looks familiar, from whose family?"
The old woman reminded: "Madam, it's the daughter of the Shen family of the Shaofu Supervisor." Madam
Yang lost interest after hearing that.
"The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is a famous family, and the Shen family is marrying up."
Miss Yang also followed with disdain: "I thought it was someone else."
"Xiao Huaiyan is a playboy, and even a mansion of equal status would not promise their daughter to him."
"Shen Zhiyi is the most pretentious and his behavior is annoying. He and Xiao Huaiyan are a perfect match."
Madam Yang did not think that this was inappropriate, but she still said.
"Okay, it's not good to gossip about others in front of the Buddha. Let's go up the mountain."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Huaiyan seemed to notice that he was being scrutinized, and raised his eyes to meet their gaze.
Seeing this, Madam Yang was about to put on a proper smile as an elder.
According to the rules, Xiao Huaiyan should come over and greet her.
The next moment.
Xiao Huaiyan looked away, not taking her seriously at all.
Madam Yang's face looked a little ugly.
She felt more and more that Xiao Huaiyan was being raised crooked.
She turned around with a cold face and went to climb the mountain.
But she did not forget to give instructions.
"When you return to the capital, get close to the general's wife. If you make friends with her, our Yang family will have a relationship with the Taifu Mansion and the Shunguo Mansion."
Miss Yang agreed immediately, and even felt relieved: "Every time I praised Gu Wu, she treated me coldly. It turns out she is a fake."
"She may have been hiding at home crying every day during this period."
She didn't even take it seriously: "The daughter of the Gu family is from the countryside. I am willing to associate with her. I am afraid that a few nice words can make her dizzy."
"Can she be more difficult to deal with than Gu Wu?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't pay attention to that side.
She went straight to Baopu.
"Master, I will count the peach blossoms."
Baopu: "No."
He has already counted three.
It's time to close the stall.
Shen Zhiyi smashed out a gold ingot.
Just kidding, Baopu didn't even blink.
He is working for Wei Zhao now! No shortage of money!
Shen Zhiyi smashed out another gold ingot.
I don't know who he was talking to.
"That's right, Taoist priest. I have extremely high requirements for my future husband."
"Although I don't have much ability, I'm damn picky."
"I want to find someone with good looks, good character, steady and reliable, hardworking and motivated, who can compose a poem in seven steps, and who can protect me with martial arts. It would be even better if he can rise to the top of the officialdom in the future."
She thought. So harsh.
No one Xiao Huaiyan can meet the requirements.
I hope he can retreat when he encounters difficulties and find someone else to cause trouble.
Xiao Huaiyan, who just walked over, raised his eyebrows.
Isn't that what he said?
Baopu: ...
He was about to say no.
Then he saw Xiao Huaiyan.
Baopu had already met him under Wei Zhao's arrangement.
Xiao Huaiyan didn't have any other thoughts. After all, it was not good to let this girl go for nothing: "Taoist priest, just help her calculate."
Baopu: "Okay, since you two are predestined, I will make an exception this time."
He asked about Shen Zhiyi's horoscope.
The truth.
"Miss, your love is on the way."
Shen Zhiyi was happy: "Really?"
"I never lie."
Baopu counted with his fingers.
Oh, he also knew Xiao Huaiyan's horoscope.
Baopu's eyebrows jumped, and his tone became much warmer.
The truth.
"Miss, your destined person is far away in the sky and right in front of you!"
Xiao Huaiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and she was in a really good mood.
Shen Zhiyi: ???
She was a little bit uneasy.
Especially when she saw Baopu winking at Xiao Huaiyan.
I'm afraid he had been bribed.
Shen Zhiyi stood up slowly.
She pretended to be stupid: "Where?"
She looked around.
Oh, there are men, but they are either too old or too young.
It's rare to see a few of the same age, but they are all wearing coarse linen clothes and don't look good.
Xiao Huaiyan cleared his throat: "I..."
Shen Zhiyi seemed to be thinking: "I understand."
Under Xiao Huaiyan's eyes, she grabbed the collar of the handsome Baopu.
"You."
