Chapter 508: I'll Take Care Of This Matter To The End
It is really difficult for these idlers to expect that the talented people who only know how to enjoy flowers and enjoy the moon, and those talented people who carry cages and walk birds know what carrying poles, digging and dustpans are.
It's normal to not be able to guess things that you have never seen before.
The stall owner took down the box under the lantern, and there was a stick inside.
There are three seal characters written on the stick: Shangshangji.
Then the stall owner saw the lottery in Xiao Ruxue's hand, and was pleasantly surprised: "I didn't expect the girl to get the lottery! The future will definitely bring good luck, why don't you go to the hexagram stall over there and ask for divination, and you will definitely gain something."
"?!!!"
Xu Qing looked at the stall owner who was selling lanterns, then at the hexagram stall beside him, and understood something instantly.
Waiting here? !
Xiao Ruxue pulled Xu Qing and said, "Let's go there quickly."
Xu Qing couldn't bear to disturb Xiao Ruxue's interest, so she let him drag her over.
The fortune-teller was an old man in a commoner Taoist robe, but whether he was a true Taoist priest or not remains to be verified.
The old man saw the stick in Xiao Ruxue's hand, then looked at Xu Qing who was holding Xiao Ruxue's hand, and asked, "Young lady, do you want to untie the stick?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded: "Yes, untie the sign."
The old man took the lottery in Xiao Ruxue's hand, looked at it and said, "Is this girl asking about fortune, fortune, or marriage?"
Xiao Ruxue immediately said: "Marriage."
The old man nodded and said: "This matter reveals the secret, and it needs to be ruined to avoid disaster. For ten copper coins, the old man will use the risk of his life to reveal the secret for the girl."
Xiao Ruxue put a piece of broken silver on the table: "I didn't bring copper coins."
The old man's eyes were straightened when he saw the piece of broken silver, but he pretended to be calm and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, sincerity is good, money doesn't matter..."
Xiao Ruxue asked: "Then what is my marriage like?"
The old man opened his mouth and said: "Sign up, ask about the marriage, Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river island, a fair lady, a gentleman is good."
Xiao Ruxue hated reciting poems the most. She could not hear what the old Taoist said: "What do you mean?"
The old Taoist first explained the four lines of the poem, and then said: "A girl's sweetheart is right in front of her eyes. A beautiful woman matches a talented man, and a lover who has a good fate will grow old together forever."
Xiao Ruxue was obviously satisfied with the old Taoist's explanation, and her mood became better and better.
Leaving from the hexagram booth, Xiao Ruxue lost a piece of silver.
Originally guessing lantern riddles to win prizes, but now it has become fortune-telling with money.
But Xiao Ruxue was having fun, and Xu Qing didn't care about it.
It is said that girls' feelings are always poetry, although Xiao Ruxue doesn't like to recite poems, but it does not prevent her feelings from being full of poetic and picturesque.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue, who was walking on Xu Qing's right, suddenly let go of Xu Qing's hand, ran from Xu Qing's right to Xu Qing's left, and grabbed Xu Qing's left hand.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ruxue looked up at Xu Qing's sideways face, and said, "My right hand is hot, please help me cover my left hand, it's so cold."
Xu Qing squeezed Xiao Ruxue's cool left hand, and couldn't help laughing: "Does this also need to be covered with rain and dew?"
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue saw some people surrounded in front who seemed to be looking at something, and there were still many people surrounding the front.
Seeing this scene, driven by curiosity, Xiao Ruxue couldn't help pulling Xu Qing over.
Due to the small number of onlookers, Xiao Ruxue and Xu Qing easily walked to the front row, and then saw that the woman named Liu Wanyan was protecting the beggar mother and child who had been given by Xiao Ruxue behind her. Several people who looked like police officers confronted each other.
The little beggar seemed to be injured, with a piece on his forehead broken, but he still had a silly smile on his face, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.
The lead arrester quickly said: "Girl, it's none of your business here, leave quickly."
But Liu Wanyan said: "You are yamen servants, but you beat and kicked a beggar mother and son and hurled insults at each other, it's too much."
The chief arrester quickly said, "How can you, a girl, interfere with the affairs of the yamen? You are an outsider and don't care about you. Go away! Otherwise, you will be beaten together!"
The only ones who can stop them are outsiders who know nothing but pretend to be chivalrous and courageous.
The beggar woman who was covering the child's forehead with a cloth looked at Liu Wanyan and said, "You better go, girl, I appreciate your kindness..."
Seeing this scene, the people around were also discussing:
"Is this temptress harming people again?"
"Yeah, I gave birth to two innate idiots for the county captain. Isn't this a temptress, what is a temptress?"
"Her father was not a good thing back then. As expected, like a father, like a daughter..."
"His father? Is that the county lieutenant's dishonest cousin?"
"That's right. Back then, her father lost all his family property in a business and entrusted his daughter to the county captain. The county captain happened to have a son, so he found a marriage and married him to his own son. We can't wait for this matter. Doesn’t everyone know the county?”
"If you want me to say that the county lieutenant is also benevolent, but who knows that this temptress is entangled, not only the child born is stupid, but one of them died."
"By the way, I heard that the first child who was born was not only stupid but also had physical problems, but after two years he slipped and fell into a dry well and drowned, the second one was still the same, the county captain said she was a temptress, kick her out"
"Who knows how he died, maybe..."
"Hush...you can't say such a thing!"
...
Seeing that Liu Wanyan was not leaving, the officials waved their hands, "Take this ignorant girl away! Don't neglect the orders of the county captain!"
"Yes!" Just when the guards at the side wanted to attack Liu Wanyan, Xiao Ruxue flew forward and swung the guards away with a wave of his sleeves.
Liu Wanyan looked at the person who suddenly appeared beside her, and said pleasantly, "Miss Xue, why are you here?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "This gang of officials bullies people too much! It's too much to be so cruel to children!"
The policeman tried to persuade him with good words, but one person after another came to "fight for justice", and he couldn't help feeling angry: "It's the opposite! You dare to beat the official, what crime should you deserve!"
Xiao Ruxue snorted, "Are you still beating the child? What should you do?"
The arrester quickly said: "This is the order of the county captain!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "Can the county lieutenant ignore human life?"
While taking care of her, the beggar woman pleaded tremblingly: "Madam, I appreciate your kindness. Officials are not to be beaten. Don't offend the government because of my useless wife..."
Saying that, the beggar woman saw Xu Qing who also came forward, and begged: "Master, please persuade your wife..."
Xiao Ruxue felt more and more comfortable when she heard the beggar woman's words, she put her hands on her hips and said, "I'll take care of this matter to the end!"
