After picking up the White Cut Black Prince
Chapter 11 Chapter 19
Zhang Chenghu had heard of Wen Chu's reputation at home, and many of the servants in the family went to Wen Chu for fortune-telling. Her fortune-telling price was cheap and accurate, and word spread quickly. Many people liked to come to her for fortune-telling. Even if she was not accurate, it was only a dozen coins, which was much better than those who charged fifty coins for fortune-telling.
At first he thought that the servants were all deceived. All the fortune tellers in this world were charlatans. If she was really powerful, she was just a powerful charlatan.
Until one day, Zhang Chenghu fell deeply in love with a woman and was suffering from lovesickness. He really wanted to know whether he could be together with that woman, so he went to Wen Chu with the idea of trying everything possible.
Seeing that there was no one on the street just now, I thought I had come to Chengxiang Tower with Lin Sujian for dinner. Who knew that by chance I ran into a young Taoist priest walking out. The way he looked and dressed, wasn't he the Taoist priest who was very accurate in fortune-telling?
When Wen Chu heard this, she understood that he had come to her for fortune-telling.
She has always been able to read people's expressions. These two men, one looks more noble than the other, and it is unknown which family they are from.
Wen Chu didn't want to offend anyone, but it was getting dark outside, and Wen Chu had to ride in the ox cart of Aunt Yang's husband to go back to the village. If it was too late, Wen Chu would have to walk back by himself.
"Sir, I'm so sorry." She pointed to the sky outside and said, "Look, it's getting so dark outside. I have to hurry home."
The son of the prefect, there are few people in this town who hold higher positions than his father. He came to her in person and politely asked her to tell his fortune. He never expected that the little Taoist priest would refuse. For a moment, his face turned a little ugly.
He was about to get angry, but Lin Sujian beside him said, "If the Taoist priest is worried about the lateness, we can send him home later."
Although Lin Sujian was born quite romantic, his style of doing things was obviously more formal than Zhang Chenghu. Even though Wen Chu rejected them, he still had a smile on his face.
Let two strange men take her home? Wen Chu didn't know how Lin Sujian dared to say such a thing.
Lin Sujian seemed to know what Wen Chu was thinking and said, "Master, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. He is the son of the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, and I am the son of the Chief Justice. I came here just to ask you for a divination. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone else to verify it."
Wen Chu didn't expect that these two people would have such identities. He was shocked and couldn't help but feel a little funny. It seemed that he was really successful now and had the ability to make them come to him.
Wen Chu knew that although Lin Sujian's words were meant to be discussed, he had explained his identity in this way, so how could she say no. She knew that she couldn't avoid this incident today, so she could only compromise and said, "Then please lead the way to the wing room, sir."
The three of them walked towards the wing room. Wen Chu placed the food box on the table and asked Zhang Chenghu what he wanted to calculate. Zhang Chenghu replied, "It's like this. Half a year ago, I met a woman. I was moved by her appearance when I first saw her. Later, I had the honor of talking to her and found that we had similar interests. Later, I secretly decided to spend our lives with her. However, her family background is really not high. Even though I want to marry her, my family members don't want to. After the woman knew about it, she didn't want to see me for almost a month."
After Zhang Chenghu finished speaking, Wen Chu raised his eyebrows and asked, "So this gentleman wants to ask, can you and this girl achieve a happy ending?"
Zhang Chenghu nodded.
Wen Chu asked again, "The woman you mentioned is of low status, but how low is her status?"
Zhang Chenghu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said rather awkwardly: "Well, anyway, it's not too high, how high it is, young Taoist priest, don't know."
Zhang Chenghu didn't say anything, but Wen Chu guessed it in his heart. Seeing how shy this person was, if she was a decent girl, even if she was poor, she wouldn't be so secretive like him.
Most likely, it's an identity that is not worthy of being shown in public.
From Zhang Chenghu's previous words, Wen Chu guessed that the woman was most likely a prostitute in a brothel, and then seeing his reaction, he became even more certain.
Wen Chu didn't even need to tell fortunes or look at their horoscopes to guess their fate.
The girl in the brothel and the son of the prefect. Besides, judging from what Zhang Chenghu said, the girl might not want to be a concubine, otherwise, the two of them would not have ended up in such a situation.
What's the point of this?
It would be fine if Zhang Chenghu could fight against the family, but he has already made his attitude clear, right? If so, would he still come to her for fortune telling? Obviously not.
Wen Chu said, "You two agreed to be together forever, but Master Zhang made a promise to that woman, promising to marry her?"
Zhang Chenghu probably didn't expect Wen Chu to ask this, and after a long time, he nodded.
Men, when they are in love, they dare to say anything. He promised to marry a prostitute in a brothel, and the woman must have taken it seriously. She lived with this hope for a while, but in the end, it was all in vain. How could she be willing to see him again?
Wen Chu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, then said, "This woman must be a romantic woman."
She didn't need to look at Zhang Chenghu's expression to know what it was. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wen Chu continued, "Mr. Zhang, whether you two can have a positive result, you know it best in your heart, don't you? There is really no point in predicting this."
Zhang Chenghu's face was already very ugly. He knew better than anyone whether he and Yue Niang would be together in the end. After Yue Niang knew that he had lied to her, she would definitely not be willing to forgive him, so how could they have a positive result?
But he still held on to some hope, what if the divination Wen Chu had calculated was good?
He placed all his slim hopes on Wen Chu.
Lin Sujian, who was standing by, heard Wen Chu's question and finally looked at the young Taoist priest in the eye. This trip was not in vain. He became curious and wanted to know what Wen Chu could calculate.
Lin Sujian laughed and said, "Little Taoist priest, you see, if you don't tell him his fortune, he won't be happy. If you tell him that they are not destined to be together, that's fine, so he can give up this idea sooner."
Wen Chu turned to look at Lin Sujian after hearing his words. She said seriously, "Mr. Lin, you can't say that. Even if I tell fortunes for people on weekdays, I dare not tell everything. Things in the world are unpredictable, and things between men and women are even more difficult to say. One move can affect the whole body. There are thousands of hexagrams. If you tell, there is only one answer. If you don't tell, there are thousands of answers. After the hexagram, it turns out to be a very bad omen. Will Mr. Zhang give up? If so, then I will ruin someone's marriage."
The implication of this statement is that Zhang Chenghu should do his best and leave the rest to fate. The result of the hexagram is really unimportant.
Besides, originally, this matter was all Zhang Chenghu's own fault, but when the calculation showed that the two of them had no fate in the future, Zhang Chenghu gave up on it just because of her divination. Wouldn't that mean he was putting all the blame for their separation on her?
She can't bear this sin.
Zhang Chenghu still refused to give in, and was about to slam the table and curse. His tone was already very bad, and he said in a deep voice: "Little Taoist, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. I just want to ask for a fortune for myself and Yue Niang."
When he had something to ask for, he would call the little Taoist priest all the time. When he saw that his request didn't work, he would just call the little Taoist priest directly.
Tsk tsk, what a face.
When Wen Chu was reading fortunes for people, she was most afraid of meeting someone as stubborn as Zhang Chenghu. The matter was clear as the sun and the moon, and there was nothing to be said for. But she couldn't afford to offend these two people. If they were determined to make things difficult for her, she would not be able to get away with anything.
It's really difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, Lin Sujian saw Wen Chu's dilemma, and even though he was curious, he didn't want to push him any further. He turned to Zhang Chenghu and said, "Some things are really hard to calculate, so don't embarrass the little Taoist priest. It's getting late, I'll take the little Taoist priest home."
Wen Chu wanted to leave here quickly, but she didn't want to ask Lin Sujian to see her off. She said, "Don't bother Master Lin. I can go back by myself."
Seeing Wen Chu trying to shirk his responsibility, Lin Sujian asked with a smile, "Young Taoist priest, are you afraid that I am a bad person and will harm you?"
One must be on guard against others, Wen Chu thought so in his heart, but he still felt a little embarrassed when Lin Sujian exposed him in front of him.
Since Lin Sujian said so, Zhang Chenghu could only give up. He grew up with Lin Sujian and could see that he was somewhat interested in this little Taoist priest. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. If the little Taoist priest doesn't want to, then forget it. I am embarrassing the little Taoist priest today. It's getting dark. Since we are delayed, let Sujian take the little Taoist priest for a while. He has a carriage, so it won't be a problem."
Wen Chu finally stopped refusing after seeing this. If she really went back home, she would probably have to walk until the middle of the night. She said, "But my home is at the foot of the mountain, in a remote and poor place. I'm afraid it will dirty Master Lin."
Lin Sujian did not take this remark to heart, he cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Young Taoist Priest, this is a serious statement."
Wen Chu touched his nose and he would soon know how serious the condition was.
