Chapter 68 Is there no other way?

Chapter 68 Is there no other way?
At the driver's command, a dozen or so guards on horseback rode away. Soon, the gangsters were scared and fled in all directions.

"Master, it's solved!" the driver came back to report.

"Well, let's set off quickly and return to Chang'an." Changsun Wuji said impatiently in the carriage.

However, unexpectedly, the carriage did not start immediately.

Changsun Wuji was furious and was about to lift the curtain to curse, but he saw a woman kneeling on the ground in front of the carriage. Her bright eyes were like water, waiting for his attention. Her lips were slightly parted, as if calling him silently.

On the bustling streets of Chang'an City, Liu Quan, with a worried look on his face, confided his family affairs to Xu Luo.

When Xu Luo heard about Liu Quan's wife, his brows furrowed, as if he had thought of some thorny problem.

"Brother Liu, this matter is really not simple." There was a hint of seriousness in Xu Luo's tone.

Liu Quan asked anxiously: "Xu brother, is there no other way?"

Xu Luo glanced at Liu Quan with a complicated look, and suddenly remembered the joke circulating in the market:

It is said that a man went to ask a monk for advice because his wife was too fierce. The monk told him to raise a goose, saying that geese can bring bad luck to his wife.

He couldn't help laughing out loud, but this laughter was obviously inappropriate in front of Liu Quan.

"There is a way, but..." Xu Luo paused, and decided to give the unkind suggestion, "How about, Brother Liu, you take a concubine, or divorce your sister-in-law?"

When Liu Quan heard this, his face turned pale instantly and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, as if he was deeply hurt.

His lips trembled, and he wanted to explain himself, but he could only speak weakly: "Brother Xu, I... I have never thought about this. I love her deeply, even if she has a thousand faults."

Looking at Liu Quan's honest and sincere appearance, Xu Luo suddenly laughed, and this laughter made Liu Quan even more confused.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Quan widened his eyes, not knowing what was going on.

Xu Luo waved his hand, his smile still on his face: "Brother Liu, you are so innocent. It reminds me of that joke..."

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, Brother Liu." Xu Luo came back to his senses and patted Liu Quan on the shoulder, "Let's think of other ways."

"Brother Liu, this matter is actually not that troublesome!" Xu Luo put on a relaxed look, but then frowned.

"However, my sister-in-law's incident is indeed a headache. It's a long story, and it's hard to explain it all at once."

He paused, a mysterious smile on his face, "How about this, I'll give you a tip, go back and try it with my sister-in-law, maybe you can crack it! If it still doesn't work, then I have no other options, I can only say it's God's will."

Xu Luo's expression suddenly turned serious. Seeing this, Liu Quan's eyes instantly lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay! Brother Xu, I don't trust others, so I trust you! Tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

Xu Luo pinched his fingers, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Tonight, before dark, you and your sister-in-law go out, walk west, and walk to a dilapidated temple. There, worship and tell the whole story of that year. Perhaps this will solve the problem of childlessness."

When Liu Quan heard this, he was so excited that he almost jumped up, and he quickly stood up and was about to leave.

However, just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped and took out a bulging purse from his arms. The clinking of twenty or thirty copper coins inside was clearly visible.

"Brother Xu, our friendship is friendship, but you have to accept the divination fee, otherwise it would be against the rules!" Liu Quan said seriously.

"Liu Quan is really honest. He is still thinking about the rules at this time. However, his excited look makes people want to laugh." Xu Luo had a smile on his face, but there was obviously some helplessness in that smile.

He weighed the purse in his hand. There were twenty or thirty copper coins in it. Liu Quan was afraid that he had emptied his own small treasury.

This guy sells vegetables at a stall every day, and the little money he earns with great difficulty is saved from the daily expenses of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

This time, he gave it all to himself.

"Brother Liu, we have to follow the rules, but we can't let you suffer any loss." Xu Luo said with a smile, "I'll take the money, but I don't need so much. So, I can just take three copper coins myself."

When Liu Quan heard this, his brows furrowed. Just as he was about to retort, Xu Luo had already taken out three copper coins from his purse and waved them in front of him: "Brother Liu, that's enough. Go home quickly."

"Brother Xu, this...Alas!" Liu Quan stamped his feet anxiously. He turned and left with tears in his eyes, and his figure gradually disappeared in the crowd.

Xu Luo smiled lightly. At this time, several horse-drawn carriages came galloping in the distance, and the coachman in front shouted, "Get out of the way!" Xu Luo listened to the voice and couldn't help but feel that those carriages looked familiar.

Just as he was thinking about it, Princess Changle came over. She glanced at the carriages with her charming eyes and said, "Hmm, they look familiar. I seem to have seen them somewhere."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, gently brushing Princess Changle's face. Her hair danced in the wind, revealing her white neck and delicate collarbone, making her look particularly charming.

Xu Luo and his little apprentice had their eyes wide open, full of curiosity about the carriage speeding past.

Suddenly, a carriage passed by Xu Luo, and a gust of wind playfully lifted a corner of the curtain.

Xu Luo took the opportunity to take a glance and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The person in the car was none other than Changsun Wuji, and sitting next to him was a young woman with a pretty face, watery eyes, and lips as seductive as roses.

Xu Luo pretended to be mysterious and counted with his fingers, shaking his head and muttering to himself: "Hey, our eldest grandson, it seems that he can't escape the gentleness of a beauty. Once he passes this test of love, it will be difficult to turn back!"

Princess Changle, who was standing by, suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this. It turned out that the person in the carriage was her uncle.

Xu Luo turned to the princess and said, "Little princess, you will understand the debt of love in this world in the future. But now, it's getting late, it's time to go home!" After saying that, he stood up with a smile.

Princess Changle pouted, secretly complaining in her heart, but she had no choice but to obey.

Her rosy cheeks and slightly upturned pink lips made her look both cute and dissatisfied.

At the hour of You, the sound of reading aloud could be heard in the Lizheng Hall of the Imperial Palace. Princess Changle held the handwritten Three Character Classic given to her by Xu Luo and read aloud in a clear voice.

Caixing turned around and said to Guanyinli with a look of joy: "This Three Character Classic is truly a masterpiece!"

Before he finished speaking, Empress Chang Sun nodded in surprise, as if she had seen something incredible.

She couldn't help but interrupt: "Second brother, do you know that this "Three Character Classic" was contributed by Mr. Xu of Xia Jing."

At this time, Princess Changle was standing by with a beautiful smile on her face, nodding repeatedly to confirm.
