Chapter 46 The opportunity to turn things around is right in front of you

"Look, our young master has really become the perfect example of 'clothes make the man'." The servants chuckled.

Lin Jingzhi walked out of the door, and the servant quickly brought the horse over. It was a tall and strong horse, which matched his temperament today and was simply impeccable. He nodded, as if he was still in a dream, and climbed onto the horse's back.

Surrounded by servants and followed closely by two maids, the group headed towards Chang'an City with great momentum.

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Qian family, a middle-aged man sat in the pavilion and sipped tea leisurely. Xiaoya walked over slowly, with youthful vitality in every step. Her white neck looked particularly attractive in the sun.

"Dad, your daughter is here to pay her respects to you." Xiaoya's voice was as sweet as honey.

"Well, Lin Jingzhi will be here soon. Xiaoya, are you really planning to marry that guy?" The middle-aged man frowned, seeming a little worried.

Xiaoya smiled, her eyes gleaming with determination, "Ever since Grandpa arranged this marriage, I have chosen him. As for why you suddenly changed your mind, I really don't understand."

"Oh, you girl." The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, but there was a hint of pampering in his eyes.

The middle-aged man looked like a completely different person from yesterday. When he heard the woman's question, he couldn't help but sigh and put on a bitter face.

"Well, since you asked, I won't hide it from you." He pretended to be serious and said, "Last night, your grandfather came to visit!"

When the woman heard this, her eyes widened and her face was filled with fear. The middle-aged man saw this and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"In the dream, your grandfather chased me around the yard with a stick, scolding me for being an unfilial descendant, saying that breaking the engagement had brought shame upon him, that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his old friends, and couldn't stand up straight in front of his neighbors. So, I..."

As soon as the words fell, the woman burst out laughing, her eyes rolling, she bowed gracefully, with a bit of expectation in her tone: "Thank you for your help, Dad."

A few days later, the Zhuque Street in Chang'an was bustling with people. The wedding procession was huge, and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

The groom rode on a tall horse, looking very happy. Inside the carriage, there was a young woman in wedding dress. Her eyes were full of autumn water, her lips were like cherries, her skin was whiter than snow, she was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away.

"Look at this grand ceremony, which young man or young lady is getting married?" Passersby speculated, but their eyes were unconsciously attracted to the woman in the carriage.

The common people in Chang'an City gathered like a tide today around the sudden and luxurious wedding banquet of the young master of the Lin family, their eyes wide open, feeling both envious and amazed.

"Haven't you heard of him? He's the young master of the Lin family who was borrowing rice everywhere not long ago!" A middle-aged man gestured exaggeratedly.

"Which young master of the Lin family? Oh, remember that their family was in decline? Why are they making such a big fuss now?" Another old man stroked his beard, looking puzzled.

"Yes, which family did he marry?" a woman inquired curiously.

In the crowd, the man who had just spoken raised his lips and revealed a sly smile: "Ha, it seems you are still in the dark. Of course, the young master of the Lin family married the young lady of the Qian family.

In Chang'an City, apart from the rich and powerful, only the Qian family could afford such a thing. "Mr. Qian is a well-known traitor. How could he marry his daughter to the young master of the Lin family who had been humiliated before?" a young man questioned.

"That's right. Didn't they say that as long as Young Master Lin could give out a stone of rice, Mr. Qian would agree to the marriage? Did he really get the rice?" another one echoed.

The man smiled and waved his hand: "Well, I don't know. Why don't you go and take a look, and the truth will come out naturally."

"Yes, yes, let's go together and see for ourselves, then we'll understand!" Everyone agreed and followed the wedding procession towards Suzaku Street.

In the shadows outside the crowd, Xu Luo sat quietly in front of the stall, flicking the fortune sticks with his fingers, interpreting the fortunes for several customers. Since he was wronged that time, his life has become increasingly dull, as if he has been forgotten by this prosperous city.

Xu Luo's name was already well-known in Chang'an City. People came to him one after another, asking him for advice. One day, when Xu Luo was enjoying the excitement, a loud gong and drum sound attracted his attention.

"Whose wedding is this?" Wang Fu next to him looked around curiously.

Xu Luo just smiled and said nothing. In a blink of an eye, the wedding procession approached in a mighty procession. Suddenly, the young man at the front of the procession jumped off his horse, and in full view of everyone, he strode to Xu Luo, lifted up his clothes, knelt down and bowed.

This scene made Xu Luo stunned. "This is..."

"My benefactor, thanks to your good advice that day, I can finally marry my beloved lady!" the young man said excitedly and bowed deeply to Xu Luo.

The onlookers were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They never thought that the groom would come to thank Xu Luo, and they never thought that his marriage with Miss Qian was secretly arranged by Xu Luo. Everyone was in awe of Xu Luo's divination skills.

At this moment, another figure slowly walked out of the carriage. The man was elegant and graceful, which attracted everyone's curious gaze.

"Mr. Xu Luo, Lin Lang and I will always remember your great kindness!" She lowered her head slightly, her hair gently sliding down her shoulders, revealing the delicate skin of her neck.

"Yes, if it weren't for your wit that day, my friend, our wonderful story would have become a regret." Lin Jingzhi followed, and the two of them bowed together, like two lotus flowers swaying in the wind.

Seeing this, Xu Luo couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of teasing in his smile. He stood up from his chair, walked lightly to the two of them, and reached out to gently help them up.

"Haha, the fate between you two is a match made in heaven. I am just taking advantage of the opportunity." He joked, "You just need to live a sweet life. That will be the best way to thank me."

Lin Jingzhi and the young lady from the Qian family smiled at each other, her eyes sparkling with happiness, as if they could illuminate people's hearts. The two were still immersed in the joy of a dream, and had never thought that they would have such a beautiful day and beautiful scenery today.

"As you two tie the knot today, I have one more thing to say to you."

Xu Luo's smile was as warm as the sun, and his words were filled with sincere blessings for the newlyweds.

"In the future, you must discuss things together and don't be rash." Xu Luo had a serious face, but he couldn't hide the mischievousness in his eyes. "Especially in the next three years, don't run to the northwest. There, there is a lot of trouble waiting for you!"
