Chapter 241 Gutai Astrology
Chang Yu inquired about the situation when Zhu Sheng came home drunk and late that night:
Shao Jinqiu, the most talented man in Daning, was a man of great talent and handsome appearance. He was famous for his "poetry, wine and sword". He was the dream lover of countless young girls.
For some reason, Shao Jinqiu sold poems to Gangji City. The news was known to the maids who were new to the Magi. They clamored to have a look at the first talented man, and dragged Zhusheng away with them.
Zhusheng and a few maids crowded into the crowd, and when it became lively, they even invited Shao Jinqiu to join them upstairs for a banquet. The girls couldn't get anything even with lanterns, so how could they count the hours.
Unexpectedly, the talented man and the beautiful woman drank too much and drank too much, and they were all a bit dissolute. Shao Jinqiu took advantage of the wine and kissed Zhu Sheng's little hand. Zhu Sheng slapped Shao Jinqiu, and they parted on bad terms, and then the girls returned to the guest house.
Chang Yu poured jealousy on the fire, caught Zhu Sheng and scolded her, which made the little girl anxious. He took care of her, but still didn't talk to her. Chang Yu tried to please her several times but hit the wall.
I was wandering around for a while, trying to figure out how to get my sister to reconcile with me.
While he was dazed, two people came in from the sound of boots outside the door. The leader was his chief officer, followed by another person. He was wearing a pheasant feather crown and a crocheted jacket, revealing his dark belly. He was wearing pleated linen trousers.
, stepping on a pair of shining silver wooden clogs, with a black and purple face and a fierce look, and a pair of black bean eyes staring at Chang Yu closely.
The chief officer first introduced Chang Yu to the visitor, and then turned to Chang Yu and said: "This is Zuo Huo Wu, King of Baiyue, Zhu Zhu, the great shaman of the Volcano Clan, a destiny master from heaven..."
The visitor rudely interrupted the chief officer's ramblings and asked Chang Yu: "My name is Jun Ma Hong, are you the astrologer in Zhongyuan?"
"That's right." Chang Yu was very uncomfortable with his iron-brush-like eyes and replied with a forced smile.
"I didn't expect it to be a young boy!" Jun Mahong said in an aggressive tone, "Are you really capable, or are you here to show off and deceive others to make a living?"
Chang Yu looked at the chief officer in embarrassment, and the chief officer shrugged, so he could only say: "I know a lot about astronomy, although I'm not very good at it, but I have to be the Chief of the Heavenly Supervisor of Daning..."
"People from the Central Plains are so verbose!" Jun Mahong turned his face and motioned for the chief officer to go out first, and then asked Chang Yu as if to force a confession: "Let me ask you, what is the auspicious day for your elephant?"
Chang Yu was stunned and didn't understand why he asked this. "It's June 12th, oh no, the anaconda moon is seven."
Junma Hong suddenly got close to Chang Yu's face, staring at the prey with his dazzling eyes like a beast. "Are you sure this is an auspicious day?"
Chang Yu was forced to lean back, constantly struggling with whether to tell the truth or continue to lie, and a small amount of sweat broke out on his forehead.
He was an honest young man and was not very good at telling lies, but what was strange was that Wang Yinran's voice seemed to be faintly ringing in his ears.
"I say it's an auspicious day and it's an auspicious day!"
That's right, the current situation of her classmate is still unclear. If she exposes her words, she doesn't know if she will be in danger.
I quickly calculated it in my mind and already had an opinion in my heart. "Yes, this is the auspicious day!"
Junma Hong approached again, but Chang Yu felt awkward and wanted to take a step back. As a result, his feet got caught on the legs of the chair and he sat down on his butt.
Jun Ma Hong collected his authority and said fiercely: "Whether you are an unparalleled national warrior or a charlatan, I only remind you to remember what you say accurately, otherwise the holy fire will burn all those who have done wrong!"
Junma Hong turned around and left the house, leaving behind a sentence: "I am heading to Ootai, the royal city, at midnight tonight. The king wants you to calculate the time."
Chang Yu arrived at Ou Tai in Wangcheng on time, and there were two people waiting on the top of the stage. One was Jun Mahong, and the other was Wang Yinran.
Surprised, Chang Yu felt a little resentful towards Wang Yinran. Seeing that this newly decorated concubine was different from his classmate who looked like a lotus on a moonlit night, he felt jealous and depressed.
Wang Yinran was very natural and took the initiative to come forward to give him a blessing. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you still comfortable living in Gangji?"
Chang Yu reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, returned the salute, and said stiffly: "It's okay, it's okay."
Wang Yinran had a delicate mind and had already expected Chang Yu to react like this, and had already planned it in his heart.
"The invitation for junior brother to come today is not for private matters, but there is a matter of etiquette that needs to be decided. Because the matter is confidential and cannot be easily publicized, the king will personally invite you to the fire wizard. Before the governor, you must make a gesture towards the holy fire and must not reveal the secret. Can you?
?”
Junma Hong over there flipped his right palm, and an orange-yellow flame shot up from the palm of his hand, illuminating the lightless top of the stage. "The panic holy fire turned into the sun and moon, shining for thousands, but it is true and true."
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, and was disgusted by Wang Yinran's pretentious manner. When he got angry, he didn't care whether the holy fire was effective or not, and said to the light: "I just keep the secret!"
"If you violate this oath, you will be burned by fire!" Jun Ma Hong added gloomily.
Wang Yinran smiled, approached Chang Yu and said, "Qin Wushang, the leader of the old Shun forces in Bizhou, came to visit secretly. He hopes to form an alliance with Baiyue and jointly compete for the top spot. You have to test the fate of this matter tonight."
Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for Junma Hong to hear her clearly.
Chang Yu hated the whole family and made up his mind to dismantle the enemy to offend the king. He thought that forming an alliance would definitely be beneficial to Baiyue, but he did not want to make the two of them a good friend. No matter what the outcome of Guan Tian was, he would just make a nonsense.
Very bad.
Immediately, I took the order to display the golden talisman and determine the fortune. It was almost dawn after a lot of busy work. The result was "even", which cannot be said to be good or bad. It all depends on how the parties involved operate and the external environment.
However, he already had a plan in mind. He slowly put away his robe and pretended to look solemn. "Hiss..."
Seeing his pretentious ugly face, Wang Yinran almost laughed out loud. "What, what does the hexagram indicate?"
"I'm afraid this matter is...unlucky!"
"Unlucky? How unlucky is that?"
"The guest star is bright, the main star is dark, and the evil guest is suppressing the main star, which may be a sign of a dove occupying the magpie's nest."
"Is there any way to solve it?"
"There must be, but..."
Wang Yinran was so patient, holding back his laughter and accompanying Chang Yu in his acting to the end. "Oh, just say it freely, there's nothing taboo about it!"
Chang Yu found out that Wang Yinran had seen through him, but now that the play was starting, it couldn't end casually. "The solution is very simple, just don't form an alliance!"
Before Wang Yinran could speak this time, Junma Hong asked angrily: "If we really need to form an alliance, is there any way to break it?"
Chang Yu was stunned when he was asked. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he pretended to stretch out his left hand and pinched his fingers. After a while, an idea came to him, and he pretended to be incomprehensible and said to Junma Hong: "There is a way!"
"any solution?"
"The snipe and the clam fight!"
"What fight?"
Wang Yinran quickly explained the meaning of this idiom to Junma Hong in Baiyue dialect.
After Jun Mahong understood, he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded slightly to Wang Yinran, put out the flames with his palms together, and then turned around and walked off the stage.
The nebula is brilliant, shining bright starlight on the top of the Ou Tai Terrace.
At this moment, only Si Tianjian and his classmates looked up at the stars, silently without words or movements. Only the night wind gently blew their clothes and skirts, and occasionally a few lazy dog barks came from the direction of the outer city.
It looks even more chilly at night.
Or did Wang Yinran take the initiative to break the silence? She walked gently to Chang Yu's side and whispered in his ear: "You're just ignoring me like this?"
Chang Yu's body froze, and he hurriedly took a step away, turned to look at the lights of the outer city, and snorted a sneer: "I am a humble man, and I don't dare to curry favor with noble people."
Wang Yinran chuckled: "Look at your potential, you are still a man, how come you are so small-minded!"
Chang Yu turned his head sharply and wanted to refute her, but couldn't find the right name or words. Suddenly he felt like a child in front of Wang Yinran, being manipulated and used by her. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply turned his head
Don't go back, I don't want to say a word.
There was another moment of silence, and Wang Yinran quietly changed his tone, as if he was sad or weeping.
"To this day, I don't want to hide it from you anymore. I really have to do this for my own reasons. I am not a pleasure-seeking ** as you imagined."
Chang Yu was still angry: "I didn't say you were... or anything like that!"
Wang Yinran suddenly turned to the front of Chang Yu, grabbed his sleeves with both hands, and two lines of clear ice trickled down his carved white jade cheeks.
Chang Yu didn't want to take care of her at first, but the beauty burst into tears, and even the steel-like man was broken. He was at a loss and said in a panic: "What are you...what are you making a fuss about?"
Wang Yinran raised his hand and wiped his tears gently, and said slowly: "Now I only have you as a friend. The pain in my heart makes me really uncomfortable. Are you willing to listen to me, so that you can know whether my heart is right or wrong, what I have done?"
Whether you do it for yourself or for others."
Chang Yu didn't know how to deal with it. In the past few days, Wang Yinran's sudden marriage to King Zangra had made him extremely uncomfortable. Although he didn't dare to think that Wang Yinran could really fulfill his promise of "promise", her promise was hers.
The scenes are still in front of my eyes, how can I just give them up?
Listening to what she said at this moment, it seemed that she really had a hidden agenda. He was hesitating whether to listen or not, whether to believe that she was a demon with human skin painted on her or that she was Qinglian who fell into the mud. Wang Yinran was hesitant.
Already held his hand.
The soft and boneless catkins stirred the unruly melancholy in the unclear mind into a thin paste, and Chang Yu's feet followed her down the stage involuntarily.
Wang Yinran dragged Chang Yujin along a remote path and entered a garden. He spotted a rockery and climbed in.
There were stone tables and stone piers built in the middle of the rockery. Wang Yinran took Chang Yu to sit down, but did not shrink his hand. Instead, he brought his other hand up to hold Chang Yu's left hand tightly.
Chang Yu subconsciously twitched his hand, but Wang Yinran held it tightly. He felt embarrassed and said, "What are you... doing?"
Wang Yinran's eyes were filled with fluorescence, and he choked slightly: "Do you know that if a person carries too many secrets and too many responsibilities, living will be too tiring!"
Chang Yu was surprised: "How could this happen? Don't commit suicide!"
"Actually, I'm not an ordinary girl." Wang Yinran's eyes flashed with light, his face was miserable, and Chang Yu unconsciously felt seven points more pity.
"I am originally from Baiyue!" Seeing Chang Yu's mouth opened in shock, she continued: "I am from the Hakuku tribe. My father's name is Duolimaoge, my mother's name is Duoliweiduna, and my elder brother Duolimengwu.
Duoli Shewu, my younger brother Duoli Zhuying, my real name is Duoli Shaoyin!"
Chang Yu bit the tip of his tongue. Firstly, he didn't believe what he heard. Secondly, he felt a little dizzy, as if he was tipsy. "Are you okay? Why are you talking nonsense? King Zangcha is bullying you."
What?"
