The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Ning Bao wasn't talking nonsense; she was genuinely and seriously reading someone's face, and what she said was the truth.
Judging from his appearance, Chen Boyu has recently been attracting a lot of romantic attention; in other words, there are women around him who are interested in him.
What Ningbao said next was just nonsense.
"Master, you've not only been having an affair lately, but you've also been getting very close to that woman."
And if I'm not mistaken, a woman delivered something to you today.
As soon as Ning Bao finished speaking, Mu Cheng'an and the others in the car stared at Chen Boyu as if they were watching a good show, with expressions of pure amusement.
Chen Boyu's face instantly turned red.
"Wan Ning, don't talk nonsense, it will ruin people's reputation."
Ning Bao looked at Chen Boyu seriously, lowered her voice, and whispered in a tone only the two of them could hear,
"Master Ningbao never speaks carelessly."
This woman has been actively trying to win your favor, but you seem to have reservations and keep pushing her away.
I can now see that she is your true love, and if you miss this one, you will hardly meet a woman who is so compatible with you again.
I just want to know, who is that woman?
Only then can I be sure if you two are each other's true love.
Chen Boyu hesitated for a moment,
"Ningbao, can we not talk about it?"
Ning Bao shook his head firmly.
"Can't."
Ning Bao just realized that if Chen Boyu missed this woman, he might end up a bachelor.
This is a big deal. She had promised Chen Boyu's mother, Old Lady Chen, that she would help Chen Boyu find a wife. She couldn't guarantee whether they would have children, but she still had to find a wife.
But now Chen Boyu has encountered a love tribulation. If he can't get over this tribulation, he will never get married. Wouldn't that mean he would break his promise to Old Madam Chen?
Ning Bao needs to figure out what Chen Boyu is worried about; only by knowing the reason can she help him.
However, Chen Boyu refused to tell her, so Ning Bao had to find out the woman's identity first before she could deal with the situation.
Chen Boyu thought for a moment, then whispered a name in Ning Bao's ear.
"Lin Huixin".
Ning Bao stared in shock, her mouth agape. After a long while, she finally gave Chen Boyu a thumbs-up.
"Master, you are too outstanding."
I considered all the unmarried women in the village, even the widow Liu from the east end of the former Chuyun Village, but I never imagined it would be Sister Huixin.
This time, Ning Bao took out his own tortoise shell and copper coins used for divination and seriously performed a divination for Lin Huixin and Chen Boyu.
Ning Bao was stunned when she saw the divination result. She turned to look at Chen Boyu seriously.
"How old is the Master again this year? 30? 28?"
Chen Boyu was a little embarrassed when Ning Bao asked his age, “28”.
He could guess why the little girl asked about his age.
Ning Bao raised an eyebrow.
"Oh! Our Huixin should only be 18 years old."
If it weren't for the delay caused by fleeing famine, Sister Huixin might have gotten married long ago.
"Master, you wouldn't be refusing Sister Huixin because of your age, would you?"
Chen Boyu nodded.
"Yes, I am not only much older than her, but I am also all alone. I have no family property. The house was built for me by Brother Sanqing and you guys."
I am unworthy of her in every way.
Ning Bao glared helplessly at Chen Boyu.
"You are really not good enough for my sister Huixin."
My sister Huixin is not only young and beautiful, but also virtuous and capable.
The key point is that Sister Huixin is literate and is still attending classes at the girls' school.
But I just don't understand, you look down on yourself, but I, Sister Huixin, don't. How can you have the nerve to refuse the kindness of such a wonderful girl?
Lin Huixin was originally from Shanglin Village. She was Lin Dazhu's younger sister, and her family and Lin Dajiang's family were from the same clan.
The Lin family and the Mu family have always had a good relationship, and Lin Huixin has been learning to read and do needlework from Shen Yuzhen.
In Ningbao's eyes, Lin Huixin is like her own older sister.
