Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

So Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice were very eager and found a homestay at random.

Pay the money and rent a very small but quite secluded courtyard.

Fortunately, the master and apprentice are Taoists, and they don't care much about basic necessities of life.

For vulgar things such as gold and silver, they don't care much.

Along the way, the two of them also kept giving alms, helping the poor people, and spent all their money.

So much so that in the end he had nowhere to live.

Coincidentally, the proprietress of this homestay is also a kind-hearted person who respects Buddhism and Taoism.

Seeing Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, master and apprentice, are immortal, and they are absolutely extraordinary.

She is also quite respectful and warm.

On the one hand, we need to reduce or exempt some rent for them, and at the same time, we also specially bought some daily necessities.

The proprietress is exactly the very good widow Zhang Shi who has always been interested in each other with Ma Zhou.

For Zhang's enthusiasm and care, Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice naturally thanked him again and again.

However, Yuan Tiangang and his disciples did not agree to the rent that Zhang wanted to reduce or exempt.

Just when the two sides were evading, the widow Zhang also said with a smile: "You two elders, although I am a married woman."

"But they have always worshiped gods and Buddhas devoutly."

"The rent for this part is actually not much money."

"It's just my heart."

"You two, don't shirk."

"Or it's like this, dare to ask the fairy elder to give me a divination."

"How about treating this little money as my fortune?"

Seeing that the widow Mrs. Zhang had said so, Yuan Tiangang could only nod gently.

"Chunfeng, since that's the case, then you should make a divination for this good man."

Afterwards, according to his teacher's order, Li Chunfeng read a fortune teller for the widow Mrs. Zhang, and made a divination.

The content of this hexagram shows that the widow Mrs. Zhang is destined to be extremely rich and her husband and wife are harmonious. After middle age, she can take advantage of her husband's nobility to skyrocket.

Gain further status and respect.

After hearing Li Chunfeng's words, the widow Mrs. Zhang's expression turned ugly.

Then after a moment of relief, he slowly said with some disappointment: "The hexagrams of this Taoist priest are obviously inaccurate."

"I'm a miserable person."

"When I was young, my husband died long ago."

"No children, no daughters, all alone."

"With nothing to do, let's rent out a few houses in Chang'an City to make a living."

"On weekdays, there is no one who can talk."

Listening to widow Zhang's words, Li Chunfeng couldn't help frowning in thought.

I thought to myself, this hexagram is intuitive and clear, it shouldn't be so outrageously bad, right? !

And this widow, Mrs. Zhang, has a pure heart, and judging by her expression, it definitely doesn't look like she is lying.

There is something strange here.

Seeing him frowning and thinking, Yuan Tiangang on the side still had that immortal and kind expression on his face.

Not to mention pointing out a thing or two to his apprentice, and solving his doubts.

Seeing this embarrassing scene, the widow Mrs. Zhang felt a little sorry.

Hastily changed the subject.

"I'm afraid the two immortal elders haven't eaten yet?"

"It just so happens that I cooked a lot of rice today, so I'll go get some for the two immortal elders."

"But it's just plain food, and I hope the two immortal elders don't dislike it."

Hearing the widow Zhang's words, Yuan Tiangang hastily evaded and declined.

As for Li Chunfeng, he felt a little bit sorry.

Unexpectedly, the first hexagram I came to Chang'an City was wrong.

It also inexplicably hit the heartache of this kind woman.

But at this moment, another tenant of the widow Zhang, Ma Zhou, came back with a worried head.

To be honest, the shock brought to him by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's master and apprentice today is really too deep.

Especially after hearing the miraculous stories told by the two adults, Wang Gui and Wei Ting.

He was really tempted, and wanted to ask Yuan Tiangang to give him a divination.

One, is to test their own fate.

Second, I still want to take a look at this marriage.

I am now thirty-six, very old.

Especially the ancient people had a profound concept of passing on the family line and continuing the incense.

If he continues like this, even he will feel sorry for his ancestors.

And the current self is not the kind who has no money and power, and objectively cannot marry a daughter-in-law.

Then there is him and the widow Mrs. Zhang, who have been hesitating about this matter for several years.

He also wanted to take advantage of Yuan Tiangang's hexagram so that he could give himself an instruction.

Throwing a straw that decides where the balance ends up going.

Therefore, since watching Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice leave, Ma Zhou has been thinking about it.

Where did these two priests go, how should I visit them in the future, where to find them, and so on.

Just after Ma Zhou entered the door with his head sullen and preoccupied, the widow Mrs. Zhang greeted him joyfully from the bottom of her heart.

"Ma Zhou, why did you come back so early today?"

Whenever he heard the voice of the widow Zhang, Ma Zhou felt a little warmth and peace of mind.

Today is no exception.

After hearing the greeting from the widow Mrs. Zhang, Ma Zhou wanted to raise his head with a smile, and chat with the widow Mrs. Zhang as usual.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, master and apprentice, in front of him.

The next moment, a look of incomparable surprise flashed across Ma Zhou's face.

"Yuan Daochang, Li Daochang?!"

"I didn't expect to meet the two Taoist priests again here!"

At this time, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng also hurriedly attacked Ma Zhou.

Say hello and hello.

At the same time, he explained to Ma Zhou that he rented a small house here to settle down.

I didn't expect to meet Manager Ma.

Ma Zhou also told them with a smile at this moment that, like the two of them, he also rented here.

And has been for several years.

Li Chunfeng was also a little curious about what he said.

With Ma Zhou's identity and status, he would believe that he had a luxurious mansion in Chang'an City.

How could it be possible to still rent in someone else's house?

At this time, the person who was most surprised and astonished was the widow Mrs. Zhang.

She looked at both sides, and then asked Ma Zhou in surprise: "So you and the two elders are old acquaintances?"

Chapter 678 My Last Name is Chang

Listening to Wang's words, Ma Zhou said with a smile: "The two priests and I can only be regarded as new acquaintances."

"Coincidentally, we just finished eating at the old house in Dongshi."

"I didn't expect to meet here again."

Yuan Tiangang also stroked his beard with a smile at this time, "Boss Ma, look, I said we will meet again soon, right?"

Ma Zhou also laughed at this time, saying that the boss is unpredictable, and this is really fast enough.

Afterwards, everyone got together to be more lively, so they ate another potluck together.

After dinner, before the curfew begins.

Yuan Tiangang and his apprentice went back to the house to rest.

Ma Zhou walked and chatted as usual, and sent Mrs. Zhang home.

Suddenly on the road, Mrs. Zhang stopped, full of sadness and self-deprecation, and said to herself: "Today, I asked the two elders to give me a fortune."

"In the end, the Taoist priest said that I was destined to be extremely rich, and my husband and wife are harmonious, and even my husband will be famous in the future, and his official fortune will be prosperous."

"I don't even know, did the Taoist priest see that I am a miserable person?"

"It's intentional to say good things to comfort me."

"I think I got married when I was cardamom. My husband was weak and sick, and he became a widow within two years."

"It's been more than ten years, and I have been childless like this, and I have been inseparable for more than ten years."

"That Taoist priest actually said that my life is good..."

Hearing the widow Zhang's words, Ma Zhou only felt that Zhang was pitiful, and his heart hurt like being grabbed by someone.

So I didn't know where the courage came from, and said immediately: "Actually, I have been thinking about it before."

"I have a chance to ask Daoist Yuan to do a divination for me."

"Calculate my fate, especially marriage."

"But now, I don't have to look for them."

"My marriage is doomed."

"will you marry me?"

Hearing Ma Zhou's words, the widow Mrs. Zhang turned around in disbelief, and turned around.

In fact, from the first day she saw Ma Zhou, she fell in love with Ma Zhou's appearance, talent, ambition and righteousness.

At that time, Ma Zhou was still a poor boy who couldn't even afford to rent a house.

She always felt that she was not too old, and she was younger than Ma Zhou.

There might still be some hope between him and Ma Zhou.

But slowly, Ma Zhou was reused by the King of Peking and Furongyuan.

The talent that has always been hidden gradually began to appear, and the light on her body gathered more and more.

Although the affection between the two of them for each other can be felt, it is getting deeper and deeper.

But in Zhang's heart, she felt more and more that she was not worthy of Ma Zhou.

Today, Ma Zhou is the Chief Manager of Furong Garden.

Who doesn't know the whole Chang'an City?

He even dealt with the big figures at the top of the entire Tang Dynasty all day long.

But I am just a poor man who has been widowed for many years.
