Chapter 177: Song Kangnian Offers Suggestions

Zhu Xu and the other two were still walking around, enjoying it. Even if the palace gate was about to be closed, there was no intention of going back.

The Spring Festival is really interesting. Unlike later festivals, it is purely spontaneous and does not give it any other attributes. Along the way, Zhu Xu replaced lanterns, tasted snacks, played riddles, grabbed house boats, set off firecrackers, etc. almost never stopped.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Huachun were much calmer and always protected him with caution.

There were crowds of people in front of me, and the lights were like dragons. Cao Wenzhao looked from afar and smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's go and put the lanterns."

"Okay, buy a few more lanterns."

Zhu Xu was eager to try it out, and with three lanterns in his hand, he quickly walked towards the river.

There are people on both sides of the river, and there are many lanterns floating on the river surface, with white lotus flowers set off, like dotted on a black mirror, shaking and looking very beautiful.

Walking along the river, many young and green apricot women and flower girls squatted by the river, pushing lanterns, playing shyly, laughing endlessly.

Zhu Xu looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk, it's so good to be young."

Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao knew Zhu Xu very well, and they became resistant to the strange words that suddenly appeared on His Highness Hui. They pretended not to hear them, and followed them with a large circle of lanterns.

"Auntie, are we going home?"

"Yes, it's so late. If you don't go back, the master will be angry."

"Auntie, my sister and I haven't had enough fun yet. Let's play for a while. I haven't read the literary meeting..."

"Okay, learn from your sister and be a quiet and virtuous woman..."

A middle-aged woman walked towards her with two little girls of eleven or two, passing by Zhu Xu and the other three.

Zhu Xu blinked his eyes, stopped and looked back, thinking to himself, "The little girl who didn't speak just now looks so familiar."

Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao were stunned and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Zhu Xu turned his head and quickly found an empty place, pushing the lights in his hand into the river.

"Make a wish."

Zhu Xu waved to the two people behind him, then looked at the lantern seriously and began to make a wish.

Cao Wenzhao and Cao Cao looked at each other. Shouldn’t this wish be made in the temple?

Zhu Xu was muttering for a while, turned to look at the two of them and said, "Don't you believe it? Let's go and find the master to calculate."

"Master?" Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao followed Zhu Xu and saw him heading straight to a fortune-telling stall not far away.

Zhu Xu walked over with excitement, stood in front of the stall and looked at each other, with a sail on the other side.

There are eight big characters written on the sail, "Iron mouth is straight, one divination is a thousand gold", and there are old and old on the table, everywhere. However, the fortune teller is wearing silk and satin, and the fan at hand shows that it is Tang Bohu's fan face, a mustache, a high nose bridge, and his eyes are narrowed, as if there is a flash of light.

A wife in her forties sat on the bench and looked at the divination master nervously and said, "Master Song, what is my master's fortune this year?"

The master of the hexagram raised his head and lowered his eyes, looked at his fingers pinching, and sighed lightly for a long time: "Mrs. Li, Mr. Li's fate is short of water. Now there is a severe drought in the north. I am afraid that your mansion will not only be unhappy this year, but also unhappy forward, right?"

Mrs. Li was shocked and said in a panic look: "Master Song, you are right, then, is there any solution?"

Master Song pinched his fingers again and said seriously: "Mr. Li's fate is not water, so he can go south. You must leave before Lantern Festival, otherwise there will be great trouble."

Mrs. Li took out a handful of broken silver from her purse with trembling hands and said, "Thank you, Master Song, if it works, I will definitely come and fulfill my wish again."

Master Song seemed not to have heard what Mrs. Li said, standing straight and said calmly: "Getting and separation is fate, madam does not have to be attached, go quickly."

Mrs. Li yelled a few times and soon squeezed into the crowd.

Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao looked at each other with a strange look. Is this Master Song confused or really has this vision?

There are many surprises in the court, and there are very few people who are not implicated. Releasing outside is undoubtedly a good way to avoid the trend.

More importantly, they knew that His Highness Hui would not stare at a fortune teller for no reason, and would also patiently listen to him nonsense for a long time.

Zhu Xu was holding his hands behind his back, tilting his head slightly, and looking at Master Song who calmly put the silver in his arms.

"Come on, let's do some fortunes for our young master, and it's also a fortune for this year."

Cao Huachun walked forward, moved the stool, and said to Master Song with a faint expression, but could not hide the sharpness of his voice.

Master Song looked at Cao Huachun, then turned to Zhu Xu, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Immediately, he spread out a piece of paper and said, "Please write down your birthday."

Zhu Xu sat on the stool, always looking at the person in front of him with a meaningful look. After listening to him, he smiled slightly, picked up a pen, and wrote the four words "Birthday Eight Characters" on the paper.

Master Song was stunned, stared at these four words, and nodded for a while, saying, "Young Master, you are so precious."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Master Song is very talented."

Master Song bowed slightly and smiled faintly, "Let the young master laugh."

Zhu Xu looked at him, paused, stood up with a smile and said, "One hundred taels, inherit the auspicious words of Master Song!"

Cao Wenzhao did not hesitate at all, took out a silver note from his sleeve and handed it over, his eyes scanning the face of "Master Song" seriously, as if he wanted to write it down.

Master Song stood still, looking at the silver notes on the table as if they were looking at money like dirt, with a expressionless face and indifferent.

Zhu Xu didn't care whether he was moved or not, but looked at an extremely beautiful lantern running over not far away, and was bargaining fiercely with the stall owner.

"Fifteen cents, just go away if you don't buy it, don't affect my business!"

"Ba Wen, if you don't sell it, I'll leave!"

Cao Huachun and Cao Wenzhao looked at "Master Song" a few more times and followed Zhu Xu closely.

Master Song watched Zhu Xu leave, watched Zhu Xu buy the lantern, and watched Zhu Xu walk away happily with the lantern, and looked at him and disappeared.

"Master Song, Master Song..."

Both guests were driven away by his expression. He frowned until he was sure that Zhu Xu had really left and whispered softly: "Is he really leaving? Why did he leave..."

Two men in their early thirties walked in the crowd, both of whom looked elegant and energetic. They came to the table of Master Song and shouted, "Brother Kang Nian, why are you still here? Hurry up, close the stall quickly, Miss Lin is about to dance music."

When Song Kangnian heard this, he woke up and looked up at the people and said, "Okay, I'll close the stall immediately, wait for me." He said as he quickly put the silver notes on the table in his arms, picked up the fan and sail and left in a hurry.

Zhu Xu also had a lot of fun all the way. Until he was about to come, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, who is the fortune teller just now? Do you want to go and check it?"

"No need." Zhu Xu smiled carelessly. He is now more interested in the lanterns in his hands. The lantern is exquisite and small. It seems that some pattern is embroidered on the outside. It reflects two lines of poetry inside, and it looks like a riddle. (To be continued.)
