Chapter 82 It all depends on you
"Let's go together!" Li Shimin held him, and the two walked towards the crowd together.
At this time, the people around were whispering, some pointing, some covering their mouths and laughing. Xu Luo in the crowd seemed to be the focus. Li Junxian, who was walking beside Li Shimin, was involuntarily attracted by a woman who was watching. Her eyes were smiling, her lips were slightly parted, and the pearl earrings on her earlobes were swaying gently, as if silently tempting something. Li Junxian's heart moved slightly, but he quickly came to his senses and followed Li Shimin's steps.
His Majesty Li Er and Li Junxian looked at each other, wondering: Who is so fearless that he dares to provoke Mr. Han? Could it be that the people from Jingzhao Prefecture were behind this? However, it was unlikely, after all, the prefect Gou Daren had been kicked far away.
The two were wondering, so they walked to the outskirts of the crowd and looked inside. They were stunned. They saw a well-dressed man with his beautiful wife kneeling in front of the fortune-telling stall, tears in their eyes.
"Mr. Han, thanks to you, otherwise I would have no hope in my old age!" The official said excitedly, "It is all thanks to you that I have a child today! This is such a great kindness, let me and my wife kowtow to you!"
His Majesty Li Er and Li Junxian were completely stunned. They originally thought that someone was coming to cause trouble for Mr. Han, but who knew it would turn out like this.
"Mr. Han is really a genius!" The people watching were talking about it.
"That's right. A few days ago, I asked a fortune teller to calculate when my second son would be able to get married. The fortune teller said that good things would happen in Chongming Temple three days later. Hey, guess what? It really happened!" said a chubby businessman with a beaming face.
"What you're saying is nothing. I even asked a fortuneteller to tell my fortune, and he said not to go south. I originally planned to go south to purchase goods, but the next day I heard that a group of robbers appeared on the official road in the south, and everyone passing by was robbed, and some even lost their lives!" Another tall and thin scholar joined in.
"Yes, Mr. Han's calculations are so accurate, he can predict the future like a god!" Everyone was amazed.
At this time, His Majesty Li Er and Li Junxian noticed the wife of the official. Her eyes were rolling, her lips were slightly parted, and she had exquisite earrings hanging from her earlobes. As she nodded slightly, the earrings swayed gracefully, her chest rose and fell, and her skin was as white as jade, which made people unable to help but look at her a few more times. Her every move revealed the temptation of a mature woman.
The people around were still discussing it, but Emperor Li II and Li Junxian were already deeply attracted by the charm of this lady and Mr. Han's magical fortune-telling.
In a small town, Xu Luo is famous for his amazing divination skills. Even Mr. Qian and his wife have become his loyal followers. It is said that Xu Luo always hits the mark when it comes to fortune-telling and marriage prediction. Mr. Qian, who has no children, turns to Xu Luo for help, and the result is...
Xu Luo looked at the weeping couple in front of him, and quickly bent down to help them up. "Mr. Qian, what are you doing? We are not used to such things!" He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I am just peeking into the secrets of heaven and telling people's fate. Besides, you have also paid for the divination, so we don't owe each other anything! Hurry up and get up!"
After Xu Luo's repeated persuasion, the couple wiped their tears and slowly stood up. This Qian Yuanwai was the one who had come to Xu Luo to ask for a child not long ago. He followed Xu Luo's instructions and left Chang'an City at noon that day, walking along the river, silently saying in his heart: "Even if I lose my life, I must leave a descendant for the Qian family!" The ancients valued incense and family offerings. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and having no descendants is the worst. He knows this truth better than anyone else.
Just when he was feeling discouraged, something unexpected happened. That day, Qian Yuanwai happened to meet a beautiful woman, who was as beautiful as autumn water, lips like cherries, skin as white as snow, and light steps. The woman's every frown and smile was very touching. He could not help but stare at her in a daze, as if he had forgotten the purpose of his trip.
Since that day, Mr. Qian has been restless, thinking about when he can visit Xu Luo again to solve the mystery in his heart. In a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and he finally embarked on the journey to find Xu Luo again. Old Qian, this old man, is already in his forties. Recently, his wife at home has been pregnant for almost two months. When he heard the news, he was happy and worried. He was happy that the old tree bloomed and could bear fruit; he was worried that he was half buried in the earth and still had to take care of the little cub. Isn't this funny?
"At my age, my hair is almost falling out, and I am still a father." Old Qian laughed at himself, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden. "However, the Qian family continues to have descendants, thanks to Mr. Han!"
He slapped his thigh and bowed to Mr. Han with gratitude. "I came here today just to thank you! I am a rough-handed person. I can do nothing but trade."
As he spoke, Lao Qian waved his hand, and the servants hurried over with trays. When they opened the trays, the people around were all stunned. They were full of pearls, jade, gemstones, and agates, which were dazzling. There were also a few golden cakes next to them, which were golden and rare in the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Mrs. Qian came over with her belly bulging. Her eyes moved, her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled gently. She looked so beautiful that it made people's heart beat faster. She had a slender neck and jade-like skin. Just standing there casually was enough to attract everyone's attention.
"Mr. Han, please accept these small gifts." Mrs. Qian's voice was soft, but it carried a temptation that was hard to refuse.
Mr. Han looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh that the Qian family was really blessed.
Mr. Qian happily held the golden cake in his hands, and the people around him exclaimed one after another, as if a small storm had been set off. When Xu Luo saw the glittering golden gift, his eyes lit up involuntarily.
"Oh, Mr. Qian, you are going to embarrass me!" Xu Luo pretended to be panicked and waved his hands, looking like an honest gentleman. "This gift is too heavy, how can I dare to accept it."
"Sir, please don't refuse!" Mr. Qian said seriously, "What are these gifts? Compared with the Qian family's continuation of incense, they are simply a drop in the bucket. If you don't accept them, I, Qian, will come to bother you every day until you agree!"
Xu Luo showed a bit of "distress" on his face, but he said: "Your words really put me in a dilemma." Then he waved his hand and said to the servants: "In this case, you can put these gifts on the table. Be careful not to damage them."
Following Xu Luo's instructions, the servants carefully placed the gifts on the table. At this time, a servant came over with a plaque covered with red cloth.
"Sir, please take a look!" Mr. Qian smiled and unveiled the red cloth. In an instant, the people around him exclaimed again.
"'Ma Yi's Divination is Good', this plaque is wonderful!" Qian Yuanwai exclaimed, "Sir, you really deserve it!"
