The white-haired monk looked at her, his eyes sunken and full of wisdom, and his gaunt face was filled with a deep smile. "I don't have any business anyway, so why not talk to the girl?"
"Business?" Lingli sneered, "Do you monks also do business?"
"Monks also need to eat." said the monk, looking very ashamed.
After hearing his vulgar words, Lingli lost her previous resistance. She threw up her sleeves and sat down and said proudly, "Okay, I have to wait for someone anyway, so I'll listen to what you have to say. Well said, the money for everyone's dinner tonight is settled now."
The monk smiled and looked at Lingli carefully. "Your fortune should have eight characters."
Lingli smiled and said, "Maybe all the inscriptions have eight characters?"
The monk shook his head, "No, no, many are twenty-eight characters."
"Then what's written on my fortune?" Lingli asked with a smile. This mysterious monk really thinks he is a living god
"The magpie has a nest, and the dove lives in it!" said the monk.
Lingli clapped her hands, "Okay, okay, you're a genius, but I haven't even read the fortune slip and threw it away, so whatever you say is right."
"Girl, believe it or not, if some things are taken away by someone, they should be taken back. This is the way of heaven." The monk said meaningfully.
Lingli was slightly startled. "Oh? Don't you monks emphasize forgiveness?"
"People forgive, but God doesn't. For you, for others, and for the way of heaven."
"I don't understand a word you said."
"Go back and think about it carefully, and you will understand." said the monk.
Lingli said simply: "Even if you said those eight words, I wouldn't know what they meant."
The monk sighed, "I don't have any business today, so I'll talk to you a little more. These eight words have two meanings. The first meaning is that a woman will live in her husband's house after she gets married. If you are asking about marriage, congratulations, you will find a good husband. If you are asking about another meaning, then this fortune has another hint."
"Any other hints? What are they?" Lingli stared at him and asked.
The monk smiled mysteriously, "Young lady, you know it in your heart, why bother asking me? I can't reveal too much of the secret. If I say too much, it won't be guidance, but instigation. Amitabha."
"You old monk are so cunning." Lingli laughed.
The old monk smiled and shook his hand, "It's just a free meal, don't blame me, girl."
Lingli hesitated for a moment, "This nest has been occupied by a cuckoo. If we want to take it back, it will involve bloodshed. Will the Buddha support this?"
"Amitabha, the Buddha has compassion for the world and will not allow those who suffer to continue to suffer, or allow those who do evil to continue to do evil."
"Then why do you always ask people to forgive?"
"Forgive, forgive all those who repent." The monk put his hands together, "Okay, girl, it's fate after all. I have said what should be said, and you also understand what shouldn't be said. Go, let go of the worldly fate, let go of the second meaning, counterattack to the first meaning, and return to the origin."
Lingli stood up and said, "What nonsense! But seeing that you have a kind face..." She took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, "This silver is my invitation to you for a vegetarian meal."
"Amitabha, thank you young lady."
Lingli smiled and said, "Aren't we all called donors?"
"It's just a title. Whether you are a donor or a girl, it's the same word. To me, there is no difference. Could it be that there is some difference to the girl?" the monk asked back.
Lingli thought for a moment and said, "No."
After the nanny added some incense money and hung up the eternal lamp, she hurried out to look for Lingli. Seeing her talking to the old monk, she pulled her aside and said, "We're not looking for this person, we're looking for that person over there."
Lingli looked in the direction she pointed. The monk who interpreted the fortune was surrounded by a group of believers. She said, "I don't know what to do. I'm leaving."
"Hey," Mammy hurriedly chased after him, "I've already begged, why don't you understand?"
Lingli walked along the way and searched, "The master just now has helped me solve it."
"What fortune are you asking for? How do you interpret it?" the nanny asked.
Lingli stopped and looked at the nanny, "Nanny Yang, do you feel that you have changed completely since the princess became pregnant?"
Mammy was startled. "Changed?"
"If we weren't together day and night, and I knew your every move, your various little movements, and your voice, I would really think you were pretending. How resolute and decisive were you in the past? Now, you are mysterious all day long, either worrying about this or that. If you keep nagging like this, the twins you mentioned will sound old-fashioned when they speak."
The nanny was thinking blankly, then smiled cleverly, and ignored her, looking all the way, and finally found a ball of slightly white paper lying on the ground.
She picked it up, opened it and looked, her face slightly stunned. It was indeed those eight words.
Aren't all signatures the same
She was unwilling to give up, so she went in and drew another lot.
She untied the paper from the bamboo stick and unfolded it, only to see the words "Returning home safely, blessed with good fortune and wealth, your partner will definitely meet a distinguished guest, and you will feel more at ease on the journey"
This fortune made her dazed. The maid came in and snatched it away, "I'll interpret it for you."
Lingli sighed and chased after him.
The nanny had separated the crowd and placed the fortune in front of the person who was surrounded. "Master, please interpret this fortune first."
She placed a silver ingot on the lottery ticket.
The fortune teller accepted it with a smile, then took the fortune and looked at it, saying, "She has already asked for a fortune. This fortune corresponds to the first one. It is both the process and the result. Go back."
Lingli was outside the crowd and was shocked when she heard what the fortune teller said.
Both fortune slips were drawn by her herself, so they cannot be forged.
She didn't read the first signature, but its meaning corresponded to her situation.
The second fortune stick had a clear meaning, as it taught her what to do and also told her what the consequences would be if she did it.
She heard the nanny repeatedly asking the interpreter to say a few more words, but the interpreter had stopped talking and started talking to other people.
Mammy was anxious, but she saw a hand grabbing her arm. She turned back in surprise and saw a firm look in Lingli's eyes, "Mammy, let's go back."
When we returned to the palace, it was very lively. Zi'an's laughter could be heard from the yard, making it very lively.
Mammy was startled, "I'm afraid there are guests coming."
Lingli was sharp-eyed. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a head that he hadn't seen for a long time. "It's not a guest coming, it's Xiaodao who has returned."
The nanny walked in quickly and saw Boss Dao standing next to Zi'an. The boy had become much darker, but he no longer looked childish and now looked a bit more masculine.
"Mammy, Sister Lingli." When Boss Dao saw the two of them, he came over happily and called out.
"Why are you back, kid?" Lingli hit him on the head. "Didn't I ask you to take care of something important in Beimo?"
"It's done. The Queen asked me to come back." Boss Dao said with a smile.
"Empress?" Zi'an was stunned. "Did Qin Zhou really marry Emperor Kangping?"
"Yes, when I returned to the country, they had held their wedding. The queen even asked me to come back and inform everyone, saying that the wedding preparations were rushed and she didn't have time to invite everyone to attend. Please forgive me." said Boss Dao.
