Zuo Yuyan is not the only one who has the same doubts.
Zuo Xiangting held the Hu pen in his hand and looked at the flawless white rice paper in front of him, unable to put down his pen.
At this time, he was restless and his hands were unsteady, so how could he write well?
Finally, Zuo Xiangting sighed, cleaned the pen tip, hung it on the pen holder, rolled up the rice paper, and put it aside.
Zuo Zongyuan had been wandering around in the world. Seeing that his father was not interested in calligraphy, he wanted to step forward and help clear the desk.
But Zuo Xiangting waved his hand to him, then walked to the side and sat down, and said to Zuo Zongyuan: "The desk will be cleared later. Come and sit down first. I have something to ask you."
Zuo Zongyuan put down the inkstone and came to sit in front of Zuo Xiangting.
"If you think about it again, is it really an accident that you met those hard-working people on Yangma Street?"
Zuo Zongyuan said slowly: "Back to my father, I also suspected that there was fraud, but thinking about it carefully, when my carriage knocked down one of them, those people did not have much entanglement with the child, so the time was wasted It didn't last long, and it was only because of the heavy rain that we lost sight of Su Shi."
Then he added: "When I found out that Su Shi was missing, I immediately drove to the back door of the General's Mansion and waited, but I waited for more than an hour."
"You said that when you saw Su Shi again at the back door of the General's Mansion, he walked back to the General's Mansion. Don't you think it's strange?"
Zuo Zongyuan mused: "I didn't think much about it at the time. I just thought he had been sitting in the carriage for too long. Seeing that the rainstorm had stopped, I got off the carriage early and walked back to the General's Mansion."
"There really aren't any markings on that carriage?"
Zuo Zongyuan shook his head: "I carefully observed the carriage and found no marks. I only know that it is neither a carriage from Qiji Carry nor a carriage from the General's Mansion."
"That carriage has long been parked at the General's Mansion waiting for Su Shi, which means someone hired it in advance. Who is this person?"
Zuo Zongyuan immediately replied: "It should be Chen Xiaolan."
"Go and check to see if we can find the driver and determine Su Shi's whereabouts."
Zuo Zongyuan hurriedly agreed, but did not act immediately and looked at his father with a puzzled look.
"Do you have anything else?"
Zuo Zongyuan immediately expressed his doubts: "My child doesn't understand why the Crown Princess is so interested in Su Shi?"
"I don't know the reason." Zuo Xiangting said slowly: "But regarding Su Shi, Yu Yan said some very strange words, which my father still can't understand."
Zhou Jin stared at the thirteen files in front of him, and his mood became very complicated.
She had read these files several times, and the things recorded in them were all trivial matters. However, the more Zhou Jin read, the more frightened she became.
These thirteen files were collected by secret guards in Liujiacun over the past two days. The Ciyun Temple at that time was located on Niubei Mountain in Liujiacun.
The first hexagram that Pei Xun divined at Ciyun Temple was Liu Xiaonian from Liujia Village. He had just turned sixteen that year.
At that time, Liu Xiaonian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot because he had lost the rented cattle.
After the work, Liu Xiaonian just wanted to take a nap, but his sleep lasted for more than an hour. When he woke up, there was no trace of the cattle in front of him.
If he couldn't get the cattle back, he would have no choice but to be beaten to death by his parents when he returned. Even if his parents couldn't bear to beat him to death, the money they paid for the cattle would be enough to wipe out their family.
Liu Xiaonian has been looking for two hours. The sun is about to set and others are coming to ask for cattle, but Liu Xiaonian doesn't even see the shadow of the cattle.
Just when he was confused, he met Pei Xuan dressed as a Taoist priest.
At that time, Ciyun Temple had existed in Niubei Mountain for more than ten years, and Liu Xiaonian had also visited the Taoist temple to play. Although he is in awe every time he goes there, he may not believe in the divination of Taoist priests.
Because every time he listened to the Taoist priest interpreting hexagrams for others, he was confused and his head was spinning, and he didn't know what the Taoist priest meant.
The only thing that can be understood is how much money others want to donate to the Taoist temple.
But now Liu Xiaonian is desperate. If he doesn't find the cattle and return them to the owner, he might be punished.
So when he saw Pei Xuan, he went to see Pei Xuan in a hurry and rushed to see him. But before he could speak, Pei Xun just glanced at him and said with a smile: "The cattle are lost?"
Liu Xiaonian's mind was blank at this time and he could only nod his head desperately.
Pei Xuan pointed to the southwest: "Go forward one mile, and you will naturally get what you want."
Liu Xiaonian was about to leave when Pei Xun suddenly called him again, with an even bigger smile on his face.
"You and I are destined to meet today. When there is a happy event in the future, don't forget to bring a jar of wedding wine to Pindao."
After saying this, Pei Xuan left with a smile. Liu Xiaonian was so anxious that he couldn't think about this sentence and hurriedly followed the direction Pei Xun pointed.
Just after running a mile, Liu Xiaonian heard several cows braying. He felt happy and looked up, but he was dumbfounded.
He saw the cow he was looking for barking lowly while circling a tree, lowering his head and bumping into it from time to time.
A girl in red clothes on the tree had a pale face, hugging the trunk tightly, and kept screaming out of fear.
When Liu Xiaonian saw this, he immediately rushed over, grabbed the cow whose eyes had turned red, and comforted him several times before calming down the cow.
The girl on the tree finally couldn't help but burst into tears, crying so hard that his heart melted.
It was getting dark and the girl was exhausted. Liu Xiaonian had no choice but to let the girl sit on the back of the cow. Then he led the cow and took the girl back to the neighboring village.
So when Liu Xiaonian returned home, it was already dark, and then he was severely beaten by his father. The blood marks on his butt made it impossible for him to lie down and sleep.
That night was the first time in Liu Xiaonian's life that he had insomnia, not because his butt was spanked and the pain made him sleepless, but because he thought about that pretty little face and aggrieved expression all night.
Six months later, Liu Xiaonian and Liu Yue got married, and only then did he understand the meaning of Pei Xun's original words. On the day of his wedding, he and Liu Yue came to Ciyunguan with a jar of wedding wine and sincerely thanked Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan accepted their wedding wine with a smile and said, "Today is your wedding day. I don't have anything to give you, so I will ask you a message as a congratulatory gift."
So Pei Xun started the hexagram again, and when the hexagram image came out, Pei Xun said with a smile: "This hexagram is suitable for the situation, it is the hexagram image of peace and many children. Congratulations, little brother, you will have peace in this life, and you are destined to have three sons and one daughter."
At the end of Liu Xiaonian's file, the secret guard once wrote a sentence.
According to the investigation, Liu Xiaonian's family has been free from illness and disaster for more than 20 years, and they have three sons and one daughter, which is consistent with the hexagram.
