Chapter 171 It's All Wrong
"In the five elements, wood is the sky, and among the heavenly stems and earthly branches, Jia and Yi belong to wood. If we interpret this word alone, it is a very auspicious and excellent sign."
"Feng Shui turns around, life has ups and downs. If you interpret this word at this time, the future is promising. I dare not say that the future will be bright, but the literal meaning is that there will always be a noble person and someone to support you."
"It's not scary to encounter bad things, what's scary is that it's hard to turn things around after encountering bad things. This is already a rare good fortune and blessing."
"Madam, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Wealth, fame and fortune are all fleeting and should not be taken too seriously. As long as your family is united, the backbone is in the right direction, and you can't fall down, and always maintain a kind heart, gratitude and equal return, the vision you expect will still be realized."
“The process may be bumpy, but the ending should be very good. As for whether it can soar into the sky, it depends on whether this ‘wood’ character can ‘support’ the sky.”
While explaining, the Taoist priest pointed to the words on the table, which made the old lady and Jiang feel inexplicably excited.
The old lady thought that the support and backbone the Taoist priest was talking about were herself. Her mind was filled with the scene of how she had fallen to the bottom three years ago, how she had survived and now had a bright future. Her mind was filled with the thought that as long as she was alive and there, the Marquis's Mansion would not collapse. She immediately felt that the Taoist priest's interpretation of the words was really accurate.
On the other hand, Jiang was thinking that the Marquis' Mansion was now supported by their eldest family. Their family had encountered many problems recently, and now there was some estrangement and disunity. Was this a reminder to their family?
Is it possible that as long as the family is united, the Marquis' Mansion will be able to soar to great heights?
Then wouldn’t the ultimate beneficiaries be their eldest son?
The two of them had their own thoughts, but they were both fantasizing about becoming the best in the world and being envied and praised by others in the future. They smiled and nodded at the same time, feeling a little elated.
"Thank you for your guidance, Taoist Priest. Taoist Priest, do we need to do anything?"
"You don't need to be deliberate, just have good thoughts and do more good deeds. The pillars will not fall and the building will not collapse. Please cherish this blessing."
After he finished speaking, the Taoist priest shook the whisk at his elbow, which was rare, with an expression of deep emotion and admiration.
Both of them were very good at observing people's words and expressions. As soon as they saw the Taoist priest's reaction, they felt that today's fortune must be very good. The Taoist priest said no more, and the two of them bowed and left happily.
From the beginning to the end, the two of them never thought that whether it was the signature, the word or what the old lady had thought of, they were all inextricably linked to Mu Lianzhi.
After they went out, the two of them excitedly took people to various halls to kowtow and express their gratitude and to donate large amounts of incense money.
……
After running down the mountain in a hurry, Yu Hua saw the person who was supposed to pick him up and hurriedly went through another small door into another independent courtyard adjacent to Qingyun Temple.
It was basically used exclusively by the royal family, and was usually used to house concubines who were expelled from the palace, demoted, or punished. Some were temporary, and some died here from being trapped here. Occasionally, it was also used as a temporary resting place for some royal commissioners.
The yard is not big, but it is basically not open to the public.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he had not yet been sent here to practice Buddhism, so this courtyard was renovated several times and was mostly used as a residence for the royal family to worship Buddhism and practice Buddhism.
Yu Hua chose a secluded house near the door one day in advance under the pretext of "Guanyin's birthday" and came early under the pretext of "copying scriptures and fasting". It was originally just a temporary residence to facilitate going up the mountain, and also to find a reasonable excuse to appear on the mountain. She never thought that her plan would go wrong in the end.
Originally, she found an excuse to lure Beitang Yi here and planned this, it was just a show. She didn't intend to really hurt him, she just wanted to use the "bitter self-torture" to save him once and make her position in his heart irreplaceable.
She used two assassins that she had carefully trained over the years, one responsible for assassination and the other for archery.
Both of them were top masters. As long as they cooperated to ensure that they could delay him for a while, when she appeared and pounced on him, they could choose the right time to grazed her shoulder with the arrow.
Fearing that the two men might use heavy hands, she specifically instructed that the arrows be coated with poison. This would ensure that she would not feel too much pain and that her injuries would not be too light. She wanted Beitang Yi to owe her this favor forever.
She had asked two people, and even estimated the time in detail and considered all aspects, so she did not send more people. She just wanted to do everything sincerely and in a way that no one could find fault with.
There are so many killers, it would be unreasonable for a weak woman like her to take advantage of the loopholes.
Who could have thought that while a dedicated warrior held Beitang Yi back, she accidentally twisted her ankle and delayed some time. It was not a big deal and would not affect the overall situation. Who could have thought that a Cheng Yaojin would appear and get ahead of her?
And the most hateful thing is that she actually blocked the arrow for Beitang Yi.
She worked hard to plan for several months, but in the end she was marrying off to someone else?
hateful!
Qianyi, who was fighting with Beitang Yi, was killed, but Qianer risked his life by exposing his identity and shooting an arrow before she appeared. This shows that Qianyi was already at a disadvantage or in great danger at that time, and Qianer was most likely helping him control the situation.
Why did such a damn woman appear at this time?
Her entire plan was ruined.
Because of her interference, Qian Yi died. Not only did she lose a warrior, but her self-torture trick to control Beitang Yi was completely useless. If the matter got out of hand, there would be trouble.
She wasn't afraid of investigating Qian Yi's identity, but if people knew that this was her doing and her intention...
She didn't dare to think about the consequences.
In the side room, Yu Hua was holding the teacup and filling it with water. His thoughts were in a mess and his hands were shaking.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Looking at Gu Xue, Yu Hua shook her head and picked up the teacup again, only to find that there was no water in it.
Holding the teapot, Gu Xue added some more:
"My lady, what happened? I just saw a signal flare..."
How come she is okay and came down?
As soon as Gu Xue's doubtful words came out of her mouth, Yu Hua shuddered and the warm tea spilled all over her hands. She pulled out a towel and Gu Xue quickly wiped it for her:
"My lady, this servant did not mean it."
As she said this, she knelt down with a plop and raised her hand to slap herself.
This time, Yu Hua quickly stopped him:
"Something happened."
How did she forget about this?
She did not succeed in participating in the plan, but the plan was actually successful. Beitang Yi sent out a flare, and this matter will definitely become a big deal. This matter is not over yet.
Without thinking any more, she dragged Gu Xue off the ground again:
"Hurry, help me change my clothes first. We are here just to participate in the Guanyin birthday, copy scriptures and pray for blessings. We don't know anything else."
……
In the side hall of Qingyun Temple, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion and Jiang had just finished bowing devoutly and walked out. When they looked up, they met the female relatives of the Fuguogong Mansion. The joy in their eyes was immediately dashed.
