Chapter 23: Successfully left the house and met the national teacher.
Touching the bulging bag, Xu Wanyue rushed to a noodle stall first.
"Boss, give me a bowl of plain noodles."
The noodle stall was doing good business, and the boss squeezed over after a long while and said with a smile: "Okay, judging from your accent, you are not a local, right?"
Xu Wanyue didn't want to say more and just nodded.
The noodle stall owner saw that the girl was dressed like a rich girl and was curious.
But since no one said anything, he just went back to his work.
After a while, Xu Wanyue hurried to visit other stalls and finished everything in no time.
Xu Wanyue walked on the sidewalk, wishing she had eight hands.
I should have brought someone out to get the things.
"Boss, I want all of this..."
"Wow, this kite is so beautiful, I want one..."
As Xu Wan walked, he realized he had reached the end, so he simply sat on the ground and took a rest.
The things were too heavy to carry, so I was planning to find some money to have someone send them back to the palace.
Imperial Master Youan has been setting up his fortune-telling stall for almost a day. Just when he was doubting whether his divination was accurate or not.
When I looked up, I saw a woman appearing not far away.
God bless me, I finally waited for this day!
Youan shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't miss it if you pass by. I am very accurate in fortune-telling."
It was the first time that Xu Wanyue heard a fortune teller bragging like that, but she never believed in such things and just took a quick look and thought nothing of it.
You An was anxious and continued to shout, "It can be considered as destiny. I know everything in the world, especially the strange and unusual things. I am the best at it."
When the bystanders saw how he was bragging so much, they were about to step forward to take care of his business.
"Go, go, go, go away. Why are you joining in the fun? Go sell your vegetables now..."
Others: I’m speechless!
Seeing that the person was about to walk away, Youan jumped over the table, rushed over and dragged the person to the front of the stall.
"Girl, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I see that you have a good relationship with me, so how about I tell your fortune for free?"
Before Xu Wanyue could refuse, she was pressed into the fortune-telling stall.
After taking a quick look at the old man, he found that he had gray hair, was wearing a Taoist robe, and had a wisp of gray beard. He looked like a divine fortune teller with profound Taoist skills.
But even so, we can't force people to come. Xu Wanyue was angry and naturally spoke rudely.
He slammed the table and said, "Hey, old man! Even if there is no business,
You can’t force anyone to come here, I’ve already said I don’t believe in this, what’s the matter, are you trying to force me to buy or sell? I’m telling you, I don’t have any money to give you…”
Seeing that the other person was an old man, Xu Wanyue restrained her tone and said with a sigh, "See if you know how to do business. You have to set up a stall at the end of the street. There are not many people here..."
Youan had been unable to find an opportunity to speak, but now he finally got a chance to speak. "Miss, you're right. This is the first time I've ever been..."
"Wait, are you going to say that we are destined to be together and you want me to be your apprentice for free?"
Xu Wanyue had suffered losses in this regard before, and now she doesn't believe it at all.
She was afraid that the old man was a human trafficker and would suddenly take her away.
Xu Wanyue packed her things and prepared to run at any time. "Old man, I have something else to do. I won't chat with you here anymore. I hope you find your next destined person."
Youan didn't expect that this girl was so eloquent and said all the words she had prepared.
There was no other way, You An shamelessly hugged the other person's legs and said, "Girl, please believe me, I am definitely not a liar, I am the imperial teacher of the dynasty, my name is You An!"
Xu Wanyue glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, trying to break free, but she failed. "You are the imperial teacher, so why don't you stay in the palace? Why come here to set up a stall?"
Youan cried out in his heart, but was afraid that people would not believe him, so he explained anxiously, "The Imperial Master is just a sinecure. I only attend court when something important happens."
Youan was right. The current emperor was not like the previous emperor who sought immortality and needed to refine elixirs every day.
Now he only needs to calculate auspicious days for major events. Isn't it just a sinecure?
If there hadn't been an order from above, he wouldn't have come out while he was still in seclusion.
There is an imperial teacher in the current dynasty, and Xu Wanyue has heard people mention him at home.
I believed it reluctantly and said "oh".
Seeing that it was working, Youan jogged up from the ground and sat on the stool.
Wow, this old national teacher has pretty good legs and feet.
Seeing the old man acting so hard, Xu Wanyue became curious and simply put down her things to listen to him brag.
"Girl, I won't say any more. I have decided to take you in as my disciple. How about you learn from me from now on?"
Afraid that Miss Xu would speak again, he added, "I am an old man who can tell fortunes, and I am also good at medicine and arithmetic. I can teach you everything when the time comes."
After saying this, he raised his chin proudly and pinched his gray beard, as if to say, "I am very powerful."
You'd better become my disciple right now, otherwise you will miss this opportunity.
When Xu Wanyue saw the old man like this, she almost laughed off the hands that were supporting her cheeks.
"That's it. Nothing new. I'm afraid every Taoist priest would say this. I thought you, an old man, could say something else that I haven't heard before."
Old man, I don’t want to play with you anymore. I have something else to do.
He stood up and was about to leave. You An thought of something, his face changed, and he used his trump card, "Where can the people from another world be safe?"
The girl refused to listen, so he didn't care about his senior brother's instructions. And what he said was the truth, so it couldn't be considered cheating.
After hearing this, Xu Wanyue was overjoyed and realized that there was hope for her to return home. She dropped her things and grabbed the man's sleeve and shook it loudly, "Master, Master, you are really a divine fortune teller.
I was a little loud before, I'm young, please don't take it seriously."
Xu Wanyue thought that she might have to go home soon, and she couldn't help crying. "Master, please calculate for me how I can go home. Don't worry, I will give you any amount of money you want."
Youan had an unfathomable expression on his face. Seeing her pious look, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
However, he still stroked his gray beard and said, "Well, the secret cannot be revealed. When you become my disciple... or you can become my disciple now, from now on,
Follow me every day, and I will explain it in detail slowly."
If I had known she would believe me, I shouldn’t have said all that nonsense before.
But this little girl is quite interesting. If she accepts Wu Gong as her disciple, the Imperial Master's Mansion will be more lively.
However, this is the first time I have accepted a disciple, and I wonder if this girl will find the Imperial Master’s Mansion too cold.
Otherwise, I'll go back and recruit a few people from Xin Mansion?
Youan was immersed in the joy of successfully recruiting a disciple.
Xu Wanyue just suddenly heard the word "another world"
I was just a little excited, but now after hearing what he said, I came to my senses, wiped my tears and pouted, "Don't worry about becoming my disciple, I have something to do now, so I'll leave first."
"Hey, Miss Xu, don't run. I'm waiting for you. Hey... run slowly, don't fall."
After saying that, he picked up the thing and disappeared in the blink of an eye like a running rabbit.
Xu Wanyue didn't know this imperial teacher well enough, and didn't dare to trust him completely, but she was also afraid that he would continue to pester her.
I'll think about asking the prince first.
