I made the villain right.

After getting on the carriage, Zhilu lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

Du Xuan was also a little embarrassed, his eyes fell on Zhilu from time to time, and then quickly looked away.

After a moment of silence, Du Xuan spoke first: "Xiaolu, have you ever been to Yue Lao Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhilu raised her eyes and replied, "I have been here before with the Crown Prince's Consort."

Du Xuan continued, "I have been busy preparing some things these days and neglected you. Please don't be angry."

Zhilu shook his head gently: "I'm not angry."

Her tone was calm and a little indifferent, making it impossible to peek into her true thoughts.

"Have you heard about the rumors about the prayer belt?" Du Xuan asked, with a barely perceptible flash of expectation in his eyes.

Zhilu seemed to be recalling something and said, "I've heard that if your prayer belt is picked up by a destined person, it means that you and that destined person will be bound together for life."

"Then do you believe it?" Du Xuan asked, staring at Zhilu, watching the expression on her face.

"I do not know."

Zhilu's words confused Du Xuan and he suddenly became suspicious.

Can his plan of picking up the prayer belt still go ahead?

At this time, Zhilu slowly said, "I am half-believing and half-doubting."

Du Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to reassure Zhilu, he lowered his head slightly, with a cunning look in his eyes.

"I believe it. I heard from my wife that the prayer belt she tied at Yue Lao Temple was picked up by the Pavilion Master by chance. Look at them now. They are so loving and loving. It's really enviable."

After hearing this, Zhilu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Du Xuan in confusion: "You seem a little strange today?"

Du Xuan felt more guilty when she stared at him like this. His eyes began to wander. He replied, "Is there?"

"Yes, you said more. You used to talk less." Zhilu said with a smile, his mouth slightly raised.

"I think you are interested in this rumor today and want to ask more questions."

Soon, the group arrived at Yue Lao Temple.

In the past, many pilgrims came to the Yue Lao Temple to pray.

But today, the temple was deserted with few people around. Perhaps it was because the weather was cold and no one wanted to go out.

Soon after entering the door, I heard someone shouting, "Look at the hexagram, look at the hexagram."

The voice is low but full of energy.

When everyone looked up, they saw a white-haired old man setting up a fortune-telling stall in a corner of the temple.

Beside him stood a banner with eight large characters inscribed on it: "Divine prediction, able to interpret the universe through divination."

On the table were tools for fortune-telling, including tortoise shells, copper coins...

The old man was wearing a long gray robe, the corners of which were slightly worn, but had been washed clean.

Although he has a head full of white hair, there is no trace of time on his face.

Only a pair of eyes were bright and sharp, showing a keen insight into the world.

The eyes of the people who knew about it met.

Shi Jin glanced at Zhilu and suggested, "Zhilu, let's go get a fortune."

"Okay." Zhilu responded.

The two men were just about to approach the fortune-telling stall when two women walked out from the side door.

They walked straight past the crowd. One of them looked unhappy and complained, "This fortune teller is a liar. He will tell nonsense as long as you pay him. My cousin was cheated yesterday."

Facing the sabotage from passers-by.

When everyone heard this, they paused and their expressions froze.

There is a group of crows calling in my heart.

Du Xuan behind him had a gleam of regret in his eyes.

He glanced at Ran Ke calmly, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Where did you find someone who is so unreliable."

Ran Ke was also a little at a loss, and whispered: "I bought it on the street, and I spent twenty taels to invite him. I thought he looked like an immortal, but who knew he often did such deceiving things."

The fortune teller had sharp ears and heard every word of these words.

He looked up and saw a group of people not far away. After looking carefully, he saw Ran Ke's figure and instantly realized that his employer had arrived.

Especially when he caught Ran Ke's funny look of making faces and winking, he understood what he meant.

The fortune teller stood up suddenly, clasped his hands together, and explained in a solemn manner, "Don't slander me. I have been in the martial arts world for decades and have always adhered to the principle of honesty and integrity. I will never cheat others. What the girl said just now must be a misunderstanding!"

After saying this, he looked at them and said with a smile, "I see that you all have extraordinary bearings. I'm sure you all have doubts in your hearts. Would you like to have a fortune-teller?"

He stroked his silver beard and said, "I am proficient in King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams. I can use tortoise shells and yarrow to spy on the secrets of heaven and understand the past and future. Whether it is marriage, official career, or future fortune, I can unravel the mystery and give you guidance."

Zhilu looked hesitant and asked softly, "Shall we still watch?"

Shi Jin pulled a slightly awkward smile and said in a casual manner, "Look, we can't come here in vain. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. Let's hear what this old man has to say."

Shi Jin pulled Zhilu forward and helped her sit down on the small stool in front of the fortune-telling stall. Then he turned to look at the fortune-teller and said, "Old sir, please tell this girl about her marriage fate."

After saying that, she secretly glanced at Zhilu and found that Zhilu's face was full of anticipation.

After the fortune teller sat down, he squinted his eyes and looked at the group of people, as if he was searching for something.

Suddenly his eyes fixed on Du Xuan and Zhi Lu.

He recalled his employer's request to tell fortunes for a man and a woman wearing pink and blue clothes, and he was immediately certain that the two people in front of him must be the protagonists.

Thinking of this, he immediately reached out and picked up the tortoise shell on the table, put a few copper coins into it, and began to shake it gently.

The copper coin hit the turtle shell, making a crisp sound.

After shaking it for a while, he turned the tortoise shell upside down on the table, slowly took out the copper coins, and looked at their arrangement carefully with a serious expression on his face.

Everyone gathered around instantly, looking at the hexagram curiously.

After a moment, the fortune teller stroked his white beard, his eyes deep and distant.

He stretched out his five fingers and bent them slightly, and his thumb tapped and slid quickly on the knuckles of his index and middle fingers.

The atmosphere was deliberately made more mysterious to whet everyone's appetite.

Shi Jin's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this.

This guy can act better than her.

Shi Jin coughed lightly and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"This girl's true love is right beside her."

The fortune teller looked at Du Xuan with a sharp gaze and said with certainty, "It is a young man in green clothes."

Du Xuan's eyes followed Zhilu all the time.

When Zhilu heard this, she subconsciously thought of Du Xuan.

She glanced at Du Xuan from the corner of her eye and happened to meet his gaze. In an instant, she looked away in panic.

The corners of Du Xuan's mouth couldn't help but rise.

He set his eyes on Zhilu again and said seriously, "The two of you are destined to be together, just like the stars shining together, attracting each other."

He lowered his head and glanced at the hexagram on the table: "From the hexagram, your red thread is strong and long, and it ties the fate of the two of you together. Although you will face some storms, you will be able to turn danger into safety, and your relationship will become deeper. In my opinion, good things will happen to the girl soon."

Ran Ke suddenly seemed to have discovered something incredible. She looked at Du Xuan in disbelief and shouted, "Xuan, wear green clothes today. Zhilu, could he be your soulmate?"

Everyone nodded.

"Very likely." Shi Jin had a mischievous smile on his face, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

Zhilu just felt that everyone was a little abnormal today, as if they were paying special attention to her and Du Xuan.

Zhilu only felt that the atmosphere around him was weird, and everyone's eyes seemed to carry some deep meaning, making him feel uneasy.

I hope you won’t discover your secret.

Zhilu was a little flustered. After listening to this, he quickly stood up and changed the subject: "You guys come and calculate it too."

"I don't need it. I've found my soulmate." Shi Jin took Fan Hua's hand and showed it with a smile.

"I don't need it either. I already have someone in my heart." Luo Yi said, holding Shi Wei's arm.

Ran Ke's eyes flickered twice, and he said casually: "My true love is on the way."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

After a while, Luo Yi suggested: "Let's go to the marriage tree. I want to make a wish too."

"Okay." Shi Sheng raised the corner of his mouth and responded softly.

Everyone moved to the marriage tree.

Although the leaves have fallen, this marriage tree does not appear lonely at all.

The densely packed prayer ribbons hanging on it give the tree a different kind of vitality and add a touch of beauty to it.

Shi Jin and Fan Hua stood under the tree hand in hand, quietly looking at the tree full of prayer ribbons.

She couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know how many people's wishes this tree carries. I hope it will live forever."

"Yes, these wishes contain the most beautiful emotions in the world. This tree will be nourished by love and stay green year after year."

Fan Hua responded to Shi Jin gently and held her hand a little tighter.

Shi Jin suddenly thought of something, so he reminded her, "The wish boards on our peach tree are almost all gone. You have to write a new wish and hang it up."

After hearing "our family", Fan Hua's eyes brightened up.

He liked hearing such expressions from her mouth. These three simple words, "our family", bound them tightly together.

They are relatives and lovers.

"Okay." Fan Hua responded with a smile, his eyes full of pampering.

Behind him, Luo Yi got two prayer belts from the monks in the temple and gave one to Shi Sheng.

The two men were writing at the desk in the yard.

After a while, the two finished writing and walked hand in hand under the tree.

Luo Yi's eyes moved slightly, as if he thought of something, and a sly smile flashed in his eyes.

Instead of waiting for the destined person to pick it up, it would be better for her to choose that destined person.

"Come, I'll hang it up for you."

Shi Sheng wanted to take Luo Yi's prayer belt, but he heard her say: "We don't hang it up, we can just exchange prayer belts."

Shi Sheng immediately understood her intention and said with a smile: "Okay"

Then the two of them exchanged the prayer belts.

After Luo Yi took Shi Sheng's prayer belt, he lifted it up and slowly read out: "Morning and night, I miss you forever. Even when we are old, we will always be together."

Shi Sheng also did the same, put the two prayer belts together, and said: "I wish to be with you day and night, year after year without letting you down."

After reading it, the two smiled at each other, and then spontaneously kept each other's wishes.

On the other side, Du Xuan pretended to look around casually, but in fact his eyes were following Zhilu.

He had found Zhilu's prayer belt in advance, and now he was thinking about how to pretend to have picked up Zhilu's prayer belt.

Ran Ke seemed like a lonely man, sitting on a stool not far away in the courtyard, looking at the three couples under the tree, his tone quite sour.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

After a moment, he seemed to be relieved and said in a deep voice: "Just be a witness to their love."

At this time, Du Xuan took advantage of Zhilu's gaze on him, and calmly took out the prayer belt and threw it up.

Then he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Whose prayer belt fell down?"

When Zhilu looked over, he saw a prayer belt falling into Du Xuan's hands.

Her eyebrows moved slightly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she hurried over.

Zhilu was puzzled and wanted to see what wish was written on it.

Du Xuan recited to himself: "I wish to find a like-minded person, and we will never see each other until we grow old together..."

When he was reading, Zhilu had already seen the word "deer" written under the horns of the prayer belt.

After knowing that it was her prayer belt, she hurriedly covered Du Xuan's mouth.

At this moment, she felt shy and embarrassed and just wanted to escape from here.

"Don't read it, it's mine."

After saying that, she snatched the prayer belt, took Du Xuan's hand and walked to another place.

Du Xuan looked confused and let Zhilu pull him.

Zhilu pulled him to a quiet place before stopping.

After Zhilu stopped, he lowered his head slightly, tightly grasped the prayer belt with both hands, and did not speak for a long time.

Du Xuan couldn't help but speak first: "Xiaolu, I..."

Zhilu raised her head suddenly and interrupted him: "Du Xuan, I am in love with you, are you in love with me too?"

This sudden scene made Du Xuan break down.

He had originally planned to express his feelings passionately, but now he was a little at a loss.

A trace of panic first flashed across his handsome face, and then it was replaced by helplessness and doting.

"Yes, I like you, but...but how could you say this first?"

After hearing the answer, Zhilu was delighted and threw herself into his arms.

"As long as we like each other, it doesn't matter who says it first."

Du Xuan hugged Zhilu tightly, stroked her hair, and said softly: "I have been preparing for several days to confess my love to you today, but you got there first, and my plans are all messed up."
