Chapter 332 Find Yuan Jing to tell Master’s fortune
The news that the prince and the imperial master went to Pingzhou City to control the flood did not spread until the evening.
When she heard the news, Jin Yan knew that the epidemic had been concealed.
In the evening, she sat alone in Wen Yan's yard eating. From time to time, she glanced at Wen Yan's usual seat, then lowered her head to eat what she liked.
The cook at the house didn't expect him to leave so suddenly, so there were several dishes he liked on the table.
Jin Yan tasted them one by one and regarded them as helping him eat.
The carriage that came to pick her up from King Jin's Mansion was sent away by her. She only said that Master left a lot of homework and she was more pure at the Mansion.
After eating, she went to Yuan Jing's yard.
Under the dim candlelight, Yuan Jing squatted in the room where many strange stones were placed.
He muttered to himself, but Jin Yan couldn't understand it either.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
It wasn't until she squatted opposite him that Yuan Jing suddenly frowned and said something.
"Master went to Pingzhou City, please help me figure out whether this trip is safe."
She explained her purpose.
Although Wen Yan was apparently her master, he never wanted to teach her the art of fortune telling.
Although he said before leaving today that he would be safe, Jin Yan still felt uneasy.
"Has he left already?"
"Well, I'm leaving in the afternoon, I'm in a hurry."
Jin Yan wanted to fiddle with the rocks on the ground, but before she could touch them, Yuan Jing hit her hard on the back of her hand.
She quickly took it back and frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Tell your master your fortune!"
Yuan Jing said angrily, his eyes fixed on a few stones, moving from time to time, frowning and muttering from time to time, and then counting with his fingers...
After a while, his expression suddenly became serious.
Jin Yan followed him and frowned, but she didn't dare to disturb him.
Until later, Yuan Jing collected the stone as if nothing had happened and said calmly, "Everyone has his own destiny, there is no point in calculating."
"What happened?"
"I can't figure it out!"
He sighed heavily and sat slumped on the ground, "I can't figure it out."
"Why?"
"He is a national master, and he is with Xiao Tong. Xiao Tong has dragon energy in him. It's okay if he calculates it well. If he doesn't calculate it well, it will be bad for him."
Jinyan frowned a little when she remembered that the emperor of the Qing Kingdom in her previous life was Xiao Yi.
Has the world really changed?
"But the strange thing is that Xiao Yi's life doesn't count either."
Yuan Jing touched his beard. Before going down the mountain, he calculated that Xiao Tong did not have the so-called dragon spirit, and Xiao Yi was the one to inherit the throne.
But only a year later, everything changed.
Moreover, the floods in the south did not happen this year and should have been postponed for several years.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Jin Yan again, "Your master is gone, what are you still doing at home?"
"Do you hate me?"
Jin Yan frowned and said something.
Yuan Jing was stunned, moved his lips, and simply said nothing.
He was different from Wen Yan. He didn't like to interfere with other people's destiny, nor did he like to meddle in worldly affairs. That's why when he learned that Wen Yan had done what he did, he drove him down the mountain in anger.
But after all, it was the child he watched grow up, and he couldn't bear to let him go.
"Can you tell my fortune? Can fortune tellers know past lives?"
Jin Yan asked seriously.
In case Yuan Jing can really tell what happened in her previous life, is it possible that Master also knows what happened in her previous life?
"I'm not a god, how can I know about your past life?"
"If someone knew about his past life, what would be the reason?"
"you know?"
Yuan Jing suddenly stared at her, Jin Yan quickly shook her head, "I'm just curious."
Since he couldn't figure it out, she simply got up and left. Before leaving, she told Yuan Jing that there was a big crab in the kitchen. If he wanted to eat it, he could just have it steamed for him.
The news about the epidemic in Pingzhou City did not reach the capital until the third day after Wen Yan and Xiao Tong left. However, only people in a small area knew about it, and the common people were still unaware.
But the gates of the capital began to become stricter, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
Zhu Jinke advanced the opening time of Mingyue Tower by two days, and Jin Yan broke her promise to hold a banquet at Prince Jin's Mansion.
"Now is a special period, and Prince Jin's Mansion cannot do such a thing."
Jin Yan silenced Zhu Jinke with just one sentence.
Although since the flood, Prince Jin's Mansion has sent out a lot of things, from clothes to food to medicinal materials.
But they can't stand up at this time.
Jinran's hunting incident had already made the emperor unhappy last time, and now he had to keep a low profile.
Zhu Jinke could also understand that he also wanted to get his reputation out before everyone knew about it.
He simply held a banquet to raise money for the flood. I don't know how he persuaded the Zhu family to let the old man sit in the banquet and invited all the dignitaries in the capital.
As the largest wealthy businessman in Qing Dynasty, the Zhu family had close connections with many officials, so the banquet that day was unprecedentedly grand.
It's a pity that the Zhu family only contributed capital.
In other words, they don’t make a penny.
Even more manpower is needed.
But fortunately, the reputation has spread.
The collaboration between Xiao Yuexi and Yi Jie won applause from the whole house. Her music was melodious, while Yi Jie's voice was plaintive. It was quite appropriate to use it for a banquet in this way.
Xiao Yuexi finally has a positive reputation.
Everyone said that Princess Yuexi had great righteousness for her family and country, and it was a blessing to the country that she could condescend to benefit the people.
Others say that although Princess Yuexi behaves differently from others, she has a deep relationship with her consort, and it is understandable that she did some things she couldn't help herself.
The main reason is that the comparison with Xiao Yuexi is too bad, but it actually brings out her good qualities.
After these words reached the palace, Xiao Yue threw all the rare treasures on the floor and was slapped twice by the queen.
Not for anything else, just because the treasures placed in the room cannot be broken casually, many of them are gifts from the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
It would be fine if it were normal times, but now that she has made a mistake and is in confinement, she cannot behave like a princess.
The queen also blamed Xiao Yue for being unable to keep her temper and hated herself for being such a fool.
What Jin Yan heard was the news that Zhu Jinke had passed on to her. He had many informants in the palace.
Of course, the Zhu family's appeal is not as good as that of the Queen. They only raised a total of 1 taels for charity, which was not even enough to spend on the banquet.
But it gave the Zhu family a reputation for righteousness and gave Mingyue Lou a chance to show his face.
After the banquet at Mingyue Tower, Jin Yan received a letter from Wen Yan.
After Gan Ge left, the person taking care of her was named Baiwei.
There are really a lot of things to say!
"It has only been five days and the letter has been sent back. Your Excellency must have written it on the way. I have never seen Your Excellency care so much about anyone."
For example, now that the letter has just arrived in Jinyan's hands, he can't help but talk nonsense.
Jinyan raised her eyes and looked over, and Baiwei thought she was encouraged.
He said hurriedly, "What my subordinate told you is true. Although I only met the Lord once when I came back last time, his demeanor has changed. He is no longer an unattainable god, but has some fireworks. Write a letter?" I never dared to expect him to do such a thing..."
"To shut up!"
Jin Yan said angrily, she just wanted to read the letter now!
