Chapter 26
Go For a Divination
Zhao Ruifeng’s father was so angry at Zhao Ruifeng’s behavior that he trembled. In the heavy rain, he sent Zhao Ruifeng to the Zhao family’s old house eight hundred miles away overnight to let Zhao Ruifeng’s grandfather help raise him. This sent him away for eleven years. When Zhao Ruifeng came back, he directly became the general of the country, which almost blinded the eyes of the Zhao family! He still could not figure out how Zhao Ruifeng saved the emperor and became the emperor’s favorite!

Zhao Ruifeng’s father had been doing very well in the past ten years. His newly-married wife, Xiao Meili, was very lucky. She actually got the empress’s favor and became a popular person in the palace. Her daughter, Zhao Panpan, was also childhood friends with the Crown Prince. It was said that Zhao Panpan’s beauty was unparalleled, and the Empress treated her like her own daughter. There were also rumors in the capital that Zhao Panpan would marry the crown prince when she came of age, but no one knew if it was true. However, it was true that the Zhao family’s house was restless. After all, Zhao Ruifeng’s father was quite a playboy when he was young, and now he was a handsome middle-aged man with many female confidants outside. Although Zhao Ruifeng’s father had many female confidants and had many children, he only had one son, Zhao Ruifeng! It was strange to say this. Zhao Ruifeng’s father had two wives. The first wife was Zhao Ruifeng and Zhao Yingying’s mother. Later, Zhao Ruifeng’s mother passed away, and Zhao Ruifeng’s father married his second wife, Xiao Meili, and had two daughters. In addition, he had six concubines, and the six concubines gave birth to nine daughters, so the Zhao family had a total of twelve daughters, and could be called the twelve golden flowers of Jing City.
Zhao Ruifeng’s father had so many women, but he probably did not even think that Zhao Ruifeng, who he had driven away, was his only son. It was really hopeless. It was said that there was a gambling den in Jing City that opened a bet about the Zhao family. Every time a woman got pregnant in the Zhao family’s backyard, everyone would bet on whether it was a boy or a girl. After betting more than ten times, everyone lost interest in gambling in the end. After all, it was a girl every time!
Zhao Ruifeng’s father did not like Zhao Ruifeng at first, but because he did not have a son, he tried to make Zhao Ruifeng move back to the Zhao family. He wanted Zhao Ruifeng to get married and have children as soon as possible, but every time he set Zhao Ruifeng up for a blind date, Zhao Ruifeng would make his date die! This was too terrifying. Zhao Ruifeng’s father was very flustered. He asked people to find out if there were any girls in Jing City who had strong eight characters, so they would not die due to Zhao Ruifeng’s bad luck. At the same time, he tried to have children with his concubines. He wanted to try for a son while he could still move! Therefore, the Zhao family’s backyard was in chaos. It was only because Zhao Ruifeng worked hard and became the state general that the Zhao family’s environment was so chaotic and no little girl dared to marry into it.
“Mother, this big family is so stingy. In the past, they would allow us to offer joss sticks and pray at the heavenly furnace, but this year, we’re not even allowed to offer sticks.” Zheng Rong looked at the censer that was a few meters tall and touched her stomach regretfully. They had been married for a year, but there was no news about her pregnancy.
“What joss sticks? do you want to see the scene of the burning joss sticks being extinguished in an instant again?” Jiang Er said in an irritated tone. The silly son of the Cheng family was not very good, but the girl of the Cheng family was charming and pleasant. Now that the wife he was about to get was gone, he was a little irritated. However, he did not dare to mention Jiang Xi’s marriage again. The Cheng family had been so scared that they had run away. In fact, Jiang Er was also afraid.
“Let’s go and get a divination.” Yang Fen was also a little scared. She pulled Jiang Xi over to get the lot pot. When Jiang Xi picked up the lot pot, a pair of calloused hands reached out to her. It was Zhao Ruifeng. Zhao Ruifeng did not even look at Jiang Xi. He pursed his lips and began to shake the lot pot. Jiang Xi also picked up a bamboo pot and shook it. A man and a woman, one tall and one short shook the bamboo pot in their hands and made a rhythmic sound. There was an inexplicable sense of harmony. The old monk, who was explaining the lots, seemed to have sensed something. He looked up at Jiang Xi and Zhao Ruifeng with a profound look in his eyes. This was heaven’s will.
The Happiness Temple was famous for being accurate when asking for a fortune stick. Many people traveled thousands of miles just to ask for a fortune stick. It was said that the state preceptor came from the Happiness Temple, but no one knew if it was true. However, the state preceptor would come to the Happiness Temple once a year. No one knew the reason, but people would come over every day, hoping to see the state preceptor. However, no one had ever really seen the state preceptor.
