Chapter 72: The word "夙"

Emperor Qing attached great importance to the marriage between the two countries, but there were also some difficulties. According to the usual practice, if the two countries agree to marry, the emperor will appoint a certain prince or princess, and after the two monarchs send people to join the two sides, if it is appropriate, the matter is settled. It is also not up to the willingness of the two parties to marry, because this is a political marriage in itself, and as a royal child, he has the consciousness that marriage cannot be autonomous since he was a child.
However, this time the marriage with Yunshao Country, it obviously seems impossible to do so.
Since the Queen of the Kingdom of Yunshao allowed the three princesses to come to Legend City in person, she obviously intended to let the three princesses choose their marriage partners. It is well known that the Queen of the Kingdom of Yunshao dotes on the three princesses. Only if you like it.
If the three princesses of Yunshaoguo were to choose their husbands in Yuguo publicly, Emperor Qing would not be happy. After discussing with the courtiers, she was happy to give the queen face. The main reason is that if Emperor Qing personally appoints the candidates, he is also very difficult to make a choice. Therefore, Emperor Qing summoned Zhang Nian, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, and finally drew up a plan, which is to hold a grand flower viewing banquet for the young talents of Lijingcheng and all the ladies to attend, and hold martial arts and poetry sessions at the banquet. entertainment show. In this way, the three princesses could not only see the young talents of Da Yuguo, but at the same time, they would not lose track of Yuguo's face.
The location of the flower viewing banquet was finally set in Mingyue Villa, a royal courtyard in Jiuman Mountain, and the date was set on March 15.
Durian is now considered to be the talent of Lijingcheng and is also invited. Although Qin Jiu may not be regarded as a lady, but at any rate, he is also the master of the Tianchen Sect and was also invited.
Early in the morning on the 15th, Qin Jiu took a sedan chair, carrying loquat, lychee, yellow hair, durian and cherries, and two groups of people one after another set off towards Jiuman Mountain.
Qin Jiu deliberately asked the sedan chair to pass by the gate of Yunshao Country Post.
On the corner of the street not far from the post building, there was a fortune-telling booth. An old man in a gray robe was sitting in front of the fortune-telling booth, shaking a broken fan in his hand. Next to the fortune-telling booth was a bamboo pole with a yellowed cloth strip hung on it, and a large book with three words: Li Tiezui. There is a small print in the following book: The word test and fortune-telling are straightforward.
This Li Tiezui is obviously quite accurate for fortune-telling, and there are many people around the stall. Among them, there is Shang Linger from Yunshao Kingdom.
Divination is popular in Yunshao country. Whenever there is a major event, you must first ask the hexagram to test for good or bad. Whether they believe it or not, this has become their habit.
Before setting off from Yunshao Country, Shang Linger had tested the hexagrams and asked about the marriage relationship, but the result was not very smooth. That's why I thought of adding another hexagram.
Shang Ling'er squeezed into the crowd and saw a man in the dust, asking for a divination. This man learned that his wife was about to give birth. He had just rushed back from the field and had not yet returned home. When he saw a fortune teller, he wanted to ask first. A hexagram depends on whether the child is a male or female.
For this kind of problem, Shang Ling'er actually thinks that the most accurate thing is to go home and have a look, but the man has to do the calculations. He has got three girls and is counting on his birth son.
Li Tiezui asked the man to stretch out his left hand and look at the lines on the man's palm. He smiled and squinted his beard and said, "From the perspective of your hand lines, you are the life style of both children. This is a good one. Blessed."
The man was overjoyed. He paid the money and was about to go back. He happened to be seen by someone and pulled him and said, "You are back now, your wife gave birth to a big fat boy."
Shang Ling'er saw Li Tiezui's calculation quite accurately, and was hesitating whether to count it, and listened to Li Tiezui waved his hand and said, "If you count one more hexagram today, the number of hexagrams will be full, so you won't count it anymore." Count the five trigrams.
Shang Ling'er couldn't even hesitate now, and hurriedly squeezed in front of Li Tiezui, and said softly: "Sir, help me figure it out!"
Li Tiezui lifted his eyelids and glanced at Shang Ling'er lightly. There was a gleam in his eyes. He covered half of his face with a paper fan, and said slowly: "Although the girl is a servant, she looks like a dragon and a phoenix. Die Pianran is the face of great wealth and nobleness. If a girl wants to ask Gua, she must ask about marriage!?"
Shang Ling'er didn't expect Li Tiezui to say exactly what she said, and nodded.
Li Tiezui took his beard abducted, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, please take a test!" As he said, he handed over a piece of yellowed rice paper and a pen with a fork.
Shang Ling'er raised the pen, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she really didn't know which word to write. After thinking about it, she finally wrote the word "夙" and glanced at Li Tie's mouth, for fear that he could see that he was writing them. Fortunately, Li Tiezui didn't seem to notice the name of King Anling, so he gently pushed the paper in front of Li Tiezui.
Li Tiezui lifted his eyelids and looked at the word "夙". After pinching his fingers, he closed his eyes, his face darkened slightly.
Shang Ling'er looked at Li Tiezui's face, and her heart sank slightly. After a while, Li Tiezui opened his eyes, his gaze seemed to be able to guess what Shang Ling'er had in mind, his eyes narrowed, and his voice became a little low: "This long-cherished word means long-cherished wish. It means that there is someone in the girl's heart. But after the word is opened, it is a bad word inside. Bad is bad. Bad, it is not a good relationship."
When Li Tiezui said this, Shang Ling'er's face had changed. But Li Tiezui's conversation changed again, and said: "But if this word is deleted and another word is added, it will be phoenix. Feng is a good match for the girl, but the girl needs to let go of her obsession. In addition, it is a pity that this Feng is now in a trap, and she needs the girl's eyes to find it."
Shang Ling'er frowned, still a little puzzled, but Li Tiezui continued: "Let's talk about this sign together. Although the girl's marriage is quite rough, it must be a difficult place. There is nowhere to go. A girl’s future marriage will be an extraordinary marriage. Girl, give it to the girl."
Li Tiezui aggravated the word "extraordinary". After speaking, he didn't look at Shang Ling'er's expression and started to clean up the Guatan.
"The number of classes today is full, please test another day." Shang Ling'er was still thinking about the mystery in Li Tiezui's words. Li Tiezui finished cleaning up the hexagram stall, carrying the bag, squeezing out the crowd, far away. Distance, nodded toward Qin Jiu's sedan chair, then smiled and walked away.
Qin Jiu sat in the sedan chair and opened the curtain with her bare hands. A pair of enchanting phoenix eyes saw Li Tiezui merged into the flow of people. She put down the curtain, knocked a melon seed, and threw it into Huang Mao’s mouth, indifferently instructing: "Go Right!"
There was a light rain last night, after the rain, Jiuman Mountain looked green and green. The mountains are shaded by trees, peaches and apricots are fragrant. The light rain is fine, and waterfalls can be seen everywhere, flying down in the sun, like a jade bead splashing, endless.
When I walked almost halfway up the mountain, I saw the green shade in front of me, and I picked out a cornice. When I walked closer, I saw the houses and pavilions hidden by the green trees and red flowers. Bypassing the gurgling creek, we arrived at Mingyue Villa.
Mingyue Villa is a royal courtyard built on the mountain, covering a large area, and planting no less than 100 kinds of precious flowers. Nowadays, it is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and the warm breeze hits the people, and the flowers are in full bloom everywhere in the village. After Qin Jiu arrived at Mingyue Villa, under the guidance of the palace, he headed towards the garden.
Concubine Hui is currently being banned because of Liu Laishun's case. Therefore, for this feast, Emperor Qing recalled the concubine Xian who was worshipping the Buddha at Cangwu Mountain to host it. Concubine Xian has always been obsessed with worshipping Buddha, and rarely cares about world affairs. So she didn't come forward, just sat in Mingyue Villa, and everything was presided over by officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Zhang Nian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, first arranged a martial arts competition, aiming to show Yun Shaoguo the martial arts of men from Dayuguo. The martial arts field is in the flower garden of Mingyue Villa, where there is a large open space with racks of weapons.
Around the open space, several large pergolas were built, all surrounded by silk and silk, and the women gathered in the pergola to watch the martial arts competition. Qin Jiu walked into the pergola, found a comfortable seat and sat down, squinting towards the court.
The wind in the early spring is full of sunshine and warmth, and the sun shines in through the fresh green leaves, and there is also a hint of freshness. The willow trees in the flower garden swayed slightly in the wind, and the peach trees bloomed with a few brilliant pink trees, and the snow-white pear blossoms on one side were beautiful and enchanting. With such a beautiful scenery, all the talents in the field are romantic and handsome. It can be seen that Emperor Qing sincerely wanted to marry Yunshao Country, and the selected talent was not inconspicuous.
In fact, besides allowing the three princesses of Yunshao Kingdom to choose their husbands, this flower viewing banquet is also a good opportunity for these young talents to get in touch with the ladies. Therefore, not all of these talented scholars came for the three princesses of Yunshao Kingdom, and most of them came for other women.
Qin Jiu's gaze patrolled the crowd for a moment, and he saw a young man in Chinese clothes standing beside Xie Dichen.
The man with handsome eyebrows, a tall figure, and an elegant smile at the corners of his lips is Xie Dichen's second brother Xie Zhuochen.
Xie Zhuochen is not only high in martial arts, but also handsome in appearance. What's more rare is that he doesn't have a favorite girl. Therefore, Yan Suo was chosen as the most suitable candidate for the three princesses. The Xie family is Yan Su's powerful confidant. If the three princesses of Yunshao Kingdom marry Xie Zhuochen, they will undoubtedly become Yan Su's strongest support.
Qin Jiu glanced at Xie Zhuochen, stroked the yellow hair in his arms, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Huang Mao didn't say anything else, and his tongue skills were not small. After Qin Jiu finished speaking, he let Huang Mao go out.
In the pergola, Yingying and Yanyan gathered in one hall, chattering constantly, guessing what the three princesses of Yunshao Kingdom looked like and which man she would choose. More is paying attention, I don't know if Anling King will fancy the three princesses of Yunshao Kingdom.
At this moment, seeing a commotion in front of the crowd, Qin Jiu knew that the third princess of Yunshao Kingdom had arrived.
I saw several attendants at first, and then saw a tall man guarding a veiled woman walking slowly.
