"On the eighth day of the first lunar month, your cousin Xingyu's marriage was going to be arranged. You knew that this situation had to be dealt with. Your fifth brother also told me what you said to him."

"I also told this to your uncle. He said it was not your fault and he believed in your ability. He hoped you would not hesitate because of your cousin Xingyu's attitude."

"Your cousin Yuxing came of age last year, but she still hasn't found a marriage, and her personality isn't gentle enough. You can actually tell her marriage fate, is there a way to solve it? Or is there anything you can remind him to be careful so he can avoid it?"

"He also listened to your advice and went to Tianji Pavilion and Yunshang Temple. They are both Taoist priests from your school, right? The answers given by fortune-telling and horoscope readings are almost the same. He is really anxious."

The reason why Marquis Yong'an brought up Zheng Xingyu's matter first was mainly out of consideration for Zheng Yuanfang's face.

Zheng Yuanfang was able to suppress Princess Kangyi's ambition, and Princess Cheng was also in charge of the sisterly conflict between Princess Kangyi and Princess Kangning.

But they are sisters after all, and their two families are related by marriage. Zheng Yuanfang's attitude is also very humble. His daughter is a heavenly master, so he cannot refuse the request.

But he still laid the matter out, hoping that Yuntang could point out a clear way.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Yuntang was unwilling to have his fortune told, and did not even earn the money Zheng Yuanfang had paid for his divination.

Now, after hearing what his father said, he counted on his fingers and sighed, "It can't be avoided. This matter will not affect the Duke Chen's Mansion. It's just what Zheng Xingyu is destined to encounter. It depends on her own choice."

Seeing that she had said this, Yong'an Hou put down his teacup and remained silent for a while, then asked helplessly, "Since she knew that this was bound to happen, how should she choose to mitigate the consequences as much as possible?"

"Turning misfortune into fortune and seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, isn't that what Taoist fortune tellers do?"

When Marquis Yong'an said this, he took out a stack of silver notes, a total of one thousand taels.

He sighed and explained, "Your uncle came to me for help. If you are willing to show me a way forward, I will definitely pay you the divination fee, but I will not use this money to force you to do something."

"If this one thousand taels is not enough, let me help to fill the gap first, and he will make up for it later."

"Tang'er, your father is not forcing you to help others. I just want to say a few more words for him because he is also a father and works hard for his children."

"Just like your marriage, although your father doesn't have to worry about it, he still can't help but worry and worry, because he is afraid that you will meet the wrong person and trust the wrong person."

"I know that the emperor will definitely arrange the best for you, but I am still worried. Now that you have revealed Xingyu's marriage, how can your uncle, as a father, not be worried and anxious?"

"If it is inconvenient for you to help, you can recommend a master. The Duke Chen's Mansion will pay for the divination. Tianji Pavilion and Yunshang Temple only said that they interpreted the divination but were unwilling to help. They said... they are too busy recently."

Yun Tang nodded and explained, "The Luotian Grand Ceremony will begin next month, and everyone is busy and doesn't want to be distracted by such a small matter."

"The problem I mentioned is indeed a bit of a rough fate for Cousin Zheng."

"But it's not a big deal. Life is never smooth sailing. It's just that I spoke too quickly and she had a bad attitude, which made things difficult."

Yun Tang reached out and put the 1,000 taels of silver on the table into his sleeve, then said, "Her marriage fate was originally set high because of her mother's ambition, but it was a fate that she could neither get high nor low."

"Don't even think about a high one. She doesn't want a low one. The one she likes is one-sided. She is also doomed to be a villain. Naturally, it won't work. There will be no marriage this year."

"That's why I said that day, 'Marriage is determined by heaven, success is determined by man, and choice is up to oneself'. As long as she is not arrogant and overbearing, and listens to the arrangements of the elders, this difficulty will naturally be resolved."

"But if I had said it so clearly at the time, she wouldn't have believed it. She would have thought that I couldn't bear to see her doing well and was cursing her on purpose."

"Therefore, I cannot continue to speak out. Not only will that not help her resolve the situation, but it will also make her more likely to rush into a flame and hurt herself and others."

"You will know what is destined to happen when you meet it. Although she feels a little sad, it should be an opportunity for her to be more sensible. It's not a bad thing."

After Yuntang finished speaking, he picked up his own teacup and took a sip of tea. The tea was a little warm after being left for a while, and it tasted just right.

Marquis Yong'an had been listening seriously, chewing over what Yuntang had just said, and then nodded, with a gentle smile in his eyes when he looked at Yuntang.

Although the child said a lot and seemed to point out the problem, he did not get down to the actual point and there was no clear solution.

But she had made her concerns clear, so how could she continue to dig deeper?

She didn't go into details, and she had her reasons for not going into details!

Yong'an Hou asked, "Then I will tell your uncle what Tang'er said."

"Although I still don't know what your cousin Yu Xing will encounter, but judging from the result, it is not going well for her this year and she won't be able to get married."

Yun Tang nodded and added, "If she can calm down after experiencing some setbacks, there will be hope for her next year. People have to grow up on their own, not just grow in age."

These words were said in a very mature and steady manner, and did not sound like something a thirteen-year-old girl would say.

But Yuntang was a child who grew up in a Taoist temple, and Marquis Yong'an would never treat her as an ordinary girl from the beginning.

Thinking of Yuntang's experience, Marquis Yong'an's eyes were filled with some guilt. This was a regret that he could not make up for.

"Tang'er, your fourteenth birthday will be next month. Next month is also the Luotian Grand Ceremony, which will last for 49 days, right? Will your marriage be settled this year?"

Marquis Yong'an still asked about Yuntang's marriage. Although Yuntang had told him not to worry about it and that the emperor would arrange it, but... he was the biological father!

But as soon as he said this, he smiled awkwardly and said:

"I told you years ago that many families were interested and came to your grandmother. Your grandmother picked out several families and wanted to meet you, but I stopped them."

"On the eighth day, the wife of Duke Chen and your grandmother mentioned several families. Among them, the second son of Duke Ding and the eldest grandson of Duke Yue were the ones they mentioned most. Your grandmother was also very interested."

"It was only because your second brother was there and heard it that he quickly reminded them that your marriage was decided by the emperor and that our mansion could not interfere that the matter did not go on."

"But your grandmother sent someone to ask me. Even if the emperor makes the decision, there must be a choice, right? She intentionally asked you for your decision, and then proposed it to the emperor. It can be regarded as her concern for you as a grandmother."

"I heard that the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion..." Marquis Yong'an paused here and looked at Yuntang with a hint of inquiry, "Your ninth senior brother's surname is Si, but is he from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion?"

"I recently heard that Duke Dingguo angered the emperor, and the old lady didn't even call the imperial physician when she was sick. I don't know why. Tang'er, do you know?"
