The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 12: Asking for Fortune
When Zhang heard that Liu Moyan wanted to go to the Taoist temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, she decided to go with her, taking her eldest daughter with her to have her marriage fortune told.
Liu Moyan thought that with her mother watching over her, even if Pei Shuo came along, he wouldn't be able to do anything to her, so she nodded in agreement.
Xu Yao was also happy when she heard that she could go to the Taoist temple. She had been in this world for so long, and the days when she could go out were very few.
I've been staying in the kitchen for the past two years to keep healthy. Now that I've finally gained some freedom, I want to go out and get some fresh air.
On the day of burning incense, the Pei family's carriage arrived early.
As soon as Xu Yao went out, he saw him riding on a horse, dressed in red, looking unrestrained and carefree.
What the ancients said about a young man in fine clothes and riding a vigorous horse is true.
This young master was in the prime of his life, handsome and extraordinary. She suddenly remembered the strange man she met in the Bai family silver shop that day.
Somehow, she compared the two of them in her mind and found that they were both equally handsome, but each had their own characteristics.
If Pei Shuo is full of youthfulness, he is like the sunshine in summer, proud, unbridled and warm.
Then the young man from the Bai Family Silver Shop is like the warm moonlight, and his smile is as refreshing as a spring breeze.
She suddenly became curious, do these two people know each other?
Xu Yao leisurely imagined the love, hate and vengeance between the two in his mind, and felt that if the two met, they might become a couple in a BL novel who loved and hated each other and were unable to stop loving.
Thinking of this, Xu Yao couldn't help but chuckle.
Liu Moyan heard it and asked in a low voice: "What are you laughing at?"
Xu Yao raised her eyes and found that Pei Shuozi seemed to have heard her laughter and looked over. Xu Yao shook her head quickly: "Today is a good day. I am happy to be able to go out and play."
Hearing her say this, Liu Moyan also smiled and didn't say anything else. She followed her mother into the carriage.
This luxurious carriage was naturally for the masters, while a little girl like Xu Yao sat in the inconspicuous carriage at the back.
The only people who could ride in the same carriage with the lady were the maids in the mansion and the old women who served her personally.
They are all capable housekeepers who serve the Madam, and they are not comparable to little girls like them.
Fortunately, Xu Yao was not willing to sit with the boss, so she squeezed into the carriage at the back with a few maids. When the carriage started moving, she took out a bag of cakes from her arms and shared them with everyone.
Seeing the delicious food, the maids became lively and started chatting with her.
The group arrived safely at Tai'an Temple. This Taoist temple was quite famous and all the noble ladies in the capital liked to come here to burn incense.
It is said that there was once a Taoist priest named Yunhua who ascended to heaven in broad daylight and a statue of him was made in the Taoist temple.
This Taoist temple is located at a high place with many steps. When the carriage reaches the mountainside, it has to stop and everyone has to walk up.
Liu Moyan took a look and found that there were about fifty steps. Fortunately, she didn't have to climb hundreds of steps.
She was not afraid of climbing stairs. The physical strength she had trained during the apocalypse seemed to have followed her here. As her body gradually recovered, her physical strength became much stronger than that of ordinary people.
What she was afraid of was that these spoiled young ladies and ladies would be unable to walk halfway and would need her to carry them on their backs.
Fortunately, her worries did not come true. When the noble ladies got off the carriages, they usually needed help to walk, but here they left their maids behind and climbed up the stairs step by step by themselves.
Xu Yao was somewhat curious and asked Zhang's personal maid Mulian in a low voice.
Mu Lian replied in a low voice: "To burn incense and pray to the gods, you naturally have to go up step by step yourself to be pious enough."
Xu Yao nodded, no wonder.
Although they were out of breath after walking these dozens of steps and had to stop every three steps, they still climbed up.
Xu Yao caught a glimpse of the young master and the eldest lady of the Pei family. They had their backs straight and were not breathing heavily.
But Pei Shuo's eyes were fixed on Liu Moyan in front of him. His eyes were so hot that even Pei Yi couldn't bear it and poked him with her elbow, telling him not to do so.
Pei Shuo reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and Xu Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this pair of lovers were really torturing single men.
The group finally crawled to the gate of the Taoist temple, and the waitress came forward to support her wife.
After the ladies had caught their breath, they slowly walked inside.
There are not many people coming to burn incense in the temple today. They come in groups of three or four, carrying baskets with offerings and incense in them, each with their own requests.
There is a huge incense burner in front of the Taoist temple, which is filled with incense sticks of various sizes, some of which have burned out and some are still burning.
The air was filled with the scent of sandalwood. Xu Yao couldn't help but sneeze twice and turned his back.
The moment she turned her head, she seemed to see an old man with a white beard flash by, and when she blinked again, the man disappeared again.
Somehow, Xu Yao developed a strange sense of familiarity with that person.
Xu Yao thought he was dazzled and didn't take it to heart. He followed Liu Moyan into the Taoist temple.
They first went to burn incense to the Three Pure Ones. Maids and old women like Xu Yao followed Nanny Chen's actions, lit the incense and passed it to their own wives.
Holding incense in their hands, they lined up according to their seniority and burned incense to the Three Pure Ones one by one.
After burning incense, put the incense in your hand into the incense burner and kneel in front of the shrine to make a wish.
After making a wish, the little Taoist priest next to them took out a jar of lots and asked them to draw lots.
This is one of the most common activities in the Taoist temple. Xu Yao inexplicably smelled a fragrance, as if it was the smell of food. She couldn't help but sniff her nose. She thought she was the only one who felt that way, but unexpectedly, several maids beside her couldn't help but sniff their noses as well.
She whispered to Mulian, "Do you smell the fragrance too?"
Mulian: "The vegetarian food at Tai'an Temple is famous for its deliciousness. We must try it later."
When Xu Yao heard the word "eat", his eyes lit up.
At this time, the masters had also drawn the lots and were ready to interpret them.
Xu Yao originally thought that it would be a good fortune, a bad fortune, or something like that, but he didn't know that there were only numbers on each fortune stick. He had to take the fortune sticks to the Taoist priest for interpretation to know whether he got a good fortune or a bad fortune.
Xu Yao saw the number Liu Moyan got, number 99.
These women took the lots to interpret them one by one. Pei Shuo waited until they left before he knelt on the ground, worshipped the Three Pure Ones, and asked for a lot.
Xu Yao knew what he was asking for without even thinking about it, but she had a strange feeling that what Liu Moyan was asking for was not the same as what he was asking for.
She treated herself as a spectator, standing at the forefront of the crowd, looking around with eyes full of curiosity.
The Taoist priest who interpreted the fortune had a long beard and a peach wood hairpin in his hair.
The dark blue Taoist robe he wore brought out his unique temperament, making him look mysterious and profound.
Zhang was the elder, so it was her turn to interpret the divination first. She handed over her divination and the Taoist priest took a look and said, "It's a medium-sized divination. The hexagram says, do your best and leave the rest to fate. Madam, just do what you should do, and what you want will come true."
