The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

The second people to come to the mountain temple were a father and son, who came to ask about their future.

As soon as I entered the door, I was attracted by the statue. I stared at it for a long time before coming to my senses: "The mountain god is becoming more and more mysterious."

The old man wants to ask for a signature.

Pan Yun gave him a lottery box and drew a lot, which was a bad lot. The other party frowned and gave the lottery box to his son, asking him to draw a lot himself.

He drew a lot, looked at it carefully, and saw that it was a bad lot.

Father and son: ...

Pan Yun: …

She couldn't help but look up at the statue. If this wasn't her master, she would have doubted his ability.

Pan Yun took the lottery and asked, "What are you asking?"

The old man hesitated and said, "I want to send him to Nanjing to study. Studying is a good thing. Why are the two consecutive lot numbers bad?"

Pan Yun looked at the young man carefully. He was very honest, and his honesty and shyness were visibly visible to the naked eye.

Seeing Pan Jun staring at him, he blushed and lowered his head, reducing his eyes to avoid her gaze.

Like a sheep, it was released to fight among wolves, not to mention that there were tigers on the way to Nanjing.

Pan Yun counted on his fingers and said, "It's not a good time to travel far this year. If you still want to travel next year, come and ask for a fortune."

The old man was skeptical.

He came to the mountain temple to draw lots, originally just wanting to add some color to his planned itinerary and make himself happier. Who knew that he would draw two bad lots?

The old man couldn't help but look up at the statue.

This was not his first time to come to the Sanqing Mountain Mountain God Temple. He had come when the temple was first opened and also during the temple fair before the New Year.

He also donated some money as a kind person.

Before today, he was actually half-believing and half-doubting the mountain god, but he just held the idea that respecting the god would bring no harm.

But the moment he stepped into the mountain temple today, he felt something in his heart.

He stared at the statue, and the more he looked, the more convinced he became. So he lifted his robe, knelt down, and pulled his son.

The young man looked at his father in surprise.

The old man said solemnly: "You continue to study in the county, and you don't need to go to Nanjing for the time being."

The young man's eyes widened: "Really?"

The old man nodded seriously: "Really!"

The young man was overjoyed.

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't you want to go to Nanjing to study?"

"No," the young man explained hurriedly, "The son doesn't want to leave his father and mother."

Pan Yun smiled and said, "Congratulations, kind man. It's rare for a child of this age to be unwilling to leave his parents. This is a very filial child."

The old man's expression relaxed slightly.

Pan Yun: "There are many talented people in the world, and even more people who love to read, but there are not many young people who truly rely on their parents and respect and love their parents like their own children."

The old man's face became better, and he smiled faintly: "The only good thing about this child is that he is filial, but he is too clingy."

Pan Jun smiled.

Perhaps because Pan Yun’s last words were very pleasing to the old man, he donated two taels of incense money before leaving.

Pan Jun still gave them two talismans, one was a regular talisman, and the other was an unconventional talisman. In short, it was a talisman to ward off evil spirits, which had the effect of counterattack.

Pan Yun didn't want to scare anyone, so he handed the talisman to the young man and said with a smile, "Take this amulet with you at all times. Don't leave it except when you take a bath."

The young man took it in a daze.

The young man didn’t understand, but the old man knew, after all, he had once been a guest of honor of Mr. Qian.

He knew that this amulet had passed through Master Qian's hands, and it was worth more than twenty taels. It was said that Master Qian bought it from the mountain temple for no less than twenty taels.

It turns out there are benefits to coming to the mountain temple to draw lots and donate incense money?

The old man carefully put away the amulet. He didn't know that his son's amulet was different from his, and he also reminded him: "Keep it well, don't drop it."

The young man agreed.

After they left, a third group arrived.

It's really a group.

A group of people came here, their request was simple and festive, they came to calculate a date for their marriage.

So there are not only matchmakers, but also the husband's family and the in-laws' family.

A group of people surrounded a young couple with rosy cheeks, placed their birth dates and horoscopes on Pan Yun's desk, and asked her to calculate whether their birth dates were compatible and which day would be the best for their wedding.

Along with it was handed over sixty-six coins.

It can be seen from the red envelope that the financial conditions of the two families are pretty good.

Because within a radius of 100 miles, villagers came to her to calculate their horoscopes and dates, and the price for a red envelope ranged from one to eight cents, depending on the importance of the matter.

It has never exceeded this number.

This was the highest amount of income she had ever received from her fortune-telling and horoscope calculations.

Pan Jun was calm. He glanced at the two of them as usual, and then started to calculate based on their horoscopes.

Pan Yun nodded as he calculated and praised, "It's a match made in heaven."

Pan Yun first praised the woman and congratulated the man: "It is a sign of prosperity for the family. The two surnames have been combined. From now on, the two families will support each other for a hundred years. It is a sign of prosperity for the family."

The man was very happy.

Then he praised the man and congratulated the woman: "This is the image of a carpenter obtaining wood. In the future, as long as the man is humble and the woman is virtuous, both families will have a strong reputation."

The people who followed couldn't help but laugh: "Hearing what the temple keeper said, the two children are really a match made in heaven."

The two young men blushed, glanced at each other secretly, and even their necks turned red.

Pan Yun calculated the dates for them with a smile, and according to custom, he calculated three auspicious days for them, which were in June and August respectively.

After seeing these, the adults also thought that these three days were good and met their psychological expectations.

So they got together to discuss it, and without going home, they decided on the spot to get married next month.

Pan Yun nodded slightly. June was indeed a good month as there was less farm work to do.

It was getting late, so they turned around and saluted the statues. Because there were so many people, they didn't notice any difference between the statues. But after they returned, they couldn't help but tell those who hadn't been there, "As soon as I entered the temple, I felt that the temple keeper was very accurate in his predictions. Not only did he predict the date, but he also predicted my horoscope to the point of my heart."

"Temple keeper?" The listener's focus was elsewhere: "Didn't she go to school?"

"Oh, I was so focused on calculating the horoscope that I forgot to ask. Yes, didn't the temple keeper go to school?"

"Since the temple keeper is back, I will also go to the mountain temple to worship tomorrow."

"What do you want to pray for in your family?"

"It's okay. I went to pray for a peace charm. You don't know, but the peace charm I prayed for before the New Year worked. Some time ago, the cow in the village got so tired that it went crazy and directly lifted up my grandson. Guess what happened?"

"Oh, so it was your village that said some time ago that a cow went crazy?"

"No."

"How's your grandson?"

"Nothing happened!" She slapped her thigh and said, "This is the blessing of the mountain god. The mad bull hit several people. My grandson was standing on the side of the road peeing with others. Everyone else ran away, and he was the only one standing there stupidly. He was immediately gored by the mad bull."

"He was thrown into the air like a windmill and swung several times. I thought he was doomed, but we pinned the cow down and pulled him down. We found that his skin was not injured at all. The cow's horns were sticking to his clothes. The amulet I had prayed for him years ago was burned to charcoal. When I rushed over to hug him, the amulet was still hot and had not fallen apart."

"What a talisman~~"

"Yes, it works!" (End of this chapter)
