This is an old tripod with incense ash accumulated over the past hundred years. Whenever a major event occurs, people will come here to take divination. After three incense sticks are burned, something will happen. Whenever an important event occurs, people will come here to take divination. This is also a long-standing tradition in Xicheng.
The old man was having a headache, and he couldn't bear to watch Li Rongsen kowtow continuously. Moreover, the more pious he looked, the more helpless he felt, but there was nothing he could do.
"Old man, what are you doing?" An Yan asked as she walked into the hall. She saw the old man wiping the big tripod. She had never seen the tripod so shiny, which showed that it had been wiped many times.
The old man looked up and said, "I just wiped him so that he can discuss it with us."
There was no expression on An Yan's face. She seldom came here unless there was some major event. She had never used this big tripod to tell fortunes for herself, so it felt a little unfamiliar.
There was no incense burning in the cauldron, but there was still a scent wafting around.
"The city lord doesn't usually come here, why did you come here today?" The old man asked this question even though he knew the answer, but he didn't know what to say if he didn't say this.
An Yan glanced at the old man and said, "I plan to come over and pick a day."
"Does the city lord want to burn incense?" the old man asked. He was surprised. The sun really rose from the west.
"Mr. Li is not satisfied with those days at all, so I came here to pick one myself to see what kind of day it is." An Yan said as she looked around and felt that this place was very quiet, with hanging curtains fluttering in the wind, and many small copper bells that made crisp tinkling sounds when blown by the wind.
The old man said: "Don't say that Mr. Li is dissatisfied. I am dissatisfied too. It is getting later and later."
"Ling Hai said that Mr. Li and I are not destined to meet, so it will be hard to pick a day." An Yan said as she turned sideways to look at the old man, as if she had realized something.
The old man frowned, lowered his eyes and said nothing, not daring to say anything.
"You don't have to hide it from me. There is no date at all, right?" An Yan asked him directly.
The old man still didn't speak. He suddenly knelt down and said, "City Lord, maybe I shouldn't say this. If we are not destined to be together, why do we have to force it?"
An Yan walked towards the old man and knelt down in front of him, saying, "You don't understand me yet. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do, not even the heaven and earth."
“Perhaps the most painful price must be paid.”
"What can I do without paying a price? Since I have decided to be with him, I have nothing to fear from anything else." An Yan looked at him calmly.
"Mr. Li is lucky to have met the city lord." The old man chuckled with a hint of mockery.
Anyan said: "He has also paid a lot for me, he is worth it."
The old man frowned and said, "I just hope that the Lord of West City will be safe and sound, nothing else."
An Yan was silent for a while, and then said: "Please pass me the incense, old man, and I will choose a day." After saying that, he got up from the ground.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but then he had to stand up. He walked over to the incense table, took three long incense sticks, lit them, and handed them to An Yan, saying, "City Lord, please think twice."
After An Yan took the incense from the old man, she bowed three times and then inserted the incense into the bronze tripod.
The incense burned very quickly, and slowly it seemed as if something would appear in the air. At this time, An Yan raised his palms to generate energy, and white light appeared at the fingertips of both hands, and then he pushed it towards the top of the cauldron.
The old man was shocked. He said to An Yan, "City Lord, you want to change your fate again."
"This is not the first or second time I've done this. I have the final say on this day." An Yan said as she added more energy.
"City Lord, you can choose the date yourself today, but in the future, you will have to endure greater disasters. I'm afraid that a good relationship will turn into a bad one." The old man wanted An Yan's good, and he didn't want her to go her own way.
But for An Yan, she just wanted to be with Li Rongsen wholeheartedly, and she thought that she was not hurting anyone by doing so, so there was nothing wrong with it. She added more energy, but still nothing appeared above the tripod.
An Yan said: "Even if it is a bad fate, I accept it. It is better than no fate at all."
The old man frowned, and he tried to find the next best option, "Can we wait until the next life?"
"Of course not. I have already come to this life, and I must have the result in this life." An Yan's hair, which was originally not long, grew rapidly and flew up along with the energy around her body.
The old man was extremely panicked. He saw that An Yan's expression was very determined, and he also saw words on the big tripod. That day was five days later.
This made An Yan very satisfied. She put away her energy and said to the old man, "This is the day."
"Congratulations, City Lord. Congratulations, City Lord." The old man lowered his eyes and bowed to An Yan. He couldn't be happy even if he saw such a day.
An Yan stroked her waist-length hair and said, "I won't cut my hair. It will be easier to put it up on the wedding day." She then said to the old man, "Go and make the arrangements. Mr. Li and I will get married in five days."
"Yes." The old man agreed.
An Yan walked out and went to her room.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Li Rongsen was not in the room. After he finished designing the drawings, he took the draft to the place where gold jewelry was made. He went to find Xu Gongze. He thought Xu Gongze had first-class craftsmanship, so he asked him to discuss it. Over time, they became friends who could talk about anything.
Xu Gongze is a very capable craftsman with a delicate mind and superb skills. No matter how complicated your design is, he can make it for you.
Li Rongsen praised him highly and thought he was a hundred times better than those people who made jewelry outside. At this moment, he was asking him: "Do you think this will work? Add some jade, but it has to be beautiful and not too rigid."
"You can inlay jade on this gold crown, and then have long tassels hanging down. Under each tassel, you can decorate it with ornaments, such as pearls. It's not too heavy."
"Not so good, pearls are white." Li Rongsen thought this plan was very ordinary.
Xu Gongze lowered his eyes and said, "Then change it to jade, or I can use gold to create some images.'"
"This is better. Let's use gold. Jade can be inlaid on the crown." Li Rongsen said as he modified the drawing and made some marks on it.
"Or you can inlay it with jade, that would also be fine." Xu Gongze said to him again.
Li Rongsen looked over at him and said, "How about this, let's try them all and see which one looks more noble?"
"I can do whatever you want." Xu Gongze nodded, and he saw the golden ring on Li Rongsen's hand and said, "When it comes to attainments and skills, the city lord is the best. Look at the ring on your hand. Although it is simple, it is different."
After hearing what he said, Li Rongsen looked at the ring on his ring finger and said, "Of course, your city lord is different. No one can compare to her."
Xu Gongze said: "Mr. Li is so lucky."
"Indeed." Li Rongsen did not hide his joy at all. He handed him a new blueprint and said, "You also make this one. It's a gold collar."
"Okay." Xu Gongze took it and put it aside, saying, "I'll do my best."
"I'll bring you the earrings drawings later."
"Okay." Xu Gongze nodded and continued to work on his hands, while Li Rongsen stood up and walked out of the house. He was going to go back to An Yan to see if she had come back.
