Chapter 182 I Want to Ask About My Marriage
"Have you ever heard of an old saying, old sir?" When Yu Banxian saw Old Man Cen asking this in an anxious manner, he knew it was time to come clean.
"What are you talking about? Please speak, Immortal." Old Man Cen pretended to listen attentively.
“Spending money can avoid disaster.” Yu Banxian looked at him mysteriously and uttered these four words.
“This, this…” When Old Man Cen heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched twice, and he felt that things seemed not so simple.
"Those nobles gave me wealth and gold, and I performed a ritual for myself behind closed doors. In this way, if God wants to punish me for leaking the secret, these treasures will serve as a disaster for me. After all, they are all real money." Yu Banxian lied in a serious manner.
When Old Man Cen heard this, the corners of his mouth began to twitch.
Anyone who believes this kind of nonsense will be able to deceive and cheat people out of their money.
However, Old Man Cen also knew that since he had invited a half-immortal to his home, it was impossible not to show some appreciation.
In fact, what Yu Banxian said was not entirely wrong.
This is of course "spending money to avoid disaster."
It’s just that his wealth was destroyed and his disaster was eliminated.
To be more precise, Yu Banxian's job is to "take money from people and help them get rid of disasters."
"Banxian is right. Please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon." Now that he understood Yu Banxian's meaning, Old Man Cen naturally wanted to let the other party get what he wanted. As he said that, he went into the inner room.
Yu Banxian pretended not to care and nodded at him.
But as soon as Old Man Cen disappeared at the door of the inner room, he began to stick his head out with an impatient look and kept looking into the inner room.
After a while, Old Man Cen finally came out from the inner room.
He held a heavy bag of eight treasures in his hand and handed it to Yu Banxian, saying with a smile: "Please accept it, Banxian. However, my family is just a farmer after all, and I really can't give you more."
Yu Banxian took it, opened it and was slightly surprised.
so much!
Mrs. Gao always complains that Old Man Cen is stingy, but isn’t this a very generous gift?
He made a fortune today!
"Ahem!" Yu Banxian suppressed his surprise and said seriously, "I have seen the sincerity of the old gentleman. Don't worry, I will clean up all the evil spirits and dirt in this house for you. As for your family's fortune, I will calculate it for you later!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Banxian!" Old Man Cen was very satisfied to see that Yu Banxian agreed so thoughtfully.
As for that package...
Although they were all valuable items, he never dared to sell them.
These things have been hidden in the house for decades, and even Mrs. Cen, who values money more than anything else, doesn't know of their existence.
Now, taking these funds that he dared not spend or use, and exchanging them for Yu Banxian to tell his fortune for his family, can be regarded as making full use of their true value!
He had thought all this out long ago.
So Old Man Cen didn't feel any pain at all.
Next, the two of them sat down and chatted about some gossip, mainly Yu Banxian telling Old Man Cen about what he had seen and heard when the wealthy families in the county town performed rituals.
Old Man Cen loves to hear all these.
Especially those wealthy families where someone is an official, these are the families he envies the most and the ones he most hopes to become like.
Now, all his hopes are placed on Cen Han.
I just hope that Cen Han will become the top scholar in the future, so that he can have a taste of what it feels like to be the grandfather of an official.
The two were talking, and before long, Gao said the food was ready, so she began to treat Yu Banxian to a meal.
Old Cen's family never eats lunch.
But because Yu Banxian came, the rule of not eating lunch was temporarily broken, and the whole family sat at the table to eat.
Naturally, as a distinguished guest, Yu Banxian sat at the same table with Old Man Cen to eat.
He ate very politely, one mouthful at a time, in a leisurely manner, which made people feel that he had a full stomach. He didn't seem like a farmer who wolfed down his meal without caring about his image at all.
At another dining table, Cen Shuang would stare at Yu Banxian as he ate politely, and several times hesitantly spoke something.
As if he felt her gaze was too frequent, Yu Banxian finished eating and put down his chopsticks. He took out the handkerchief he carried with him and wiped his mouth. He smiled and looked at Cen Shuang: "Young lady, do you have anything to ask me?"
"Hey, hey, can I ask you something?" Cen Shuang was flattered to see that he actually took the initiative to talk to her.
When he heard her ask this, Yu Banxian subconsciously glanced at Cen Yan secretly.
Cen Yan nodded at him quickly.
"Of course you can." After getting Cen Yan's permission, Yu Banxian immediately smiled kindly and said.
"Well, then I want to ask, ask about my marriage..." Cen Shuang was a little shy, her voice was low and her little face was timid and shy. She did not forget to secretly glance at the expression of Old Man Cen, and seeing that he did not look unhappy, she became a little bolder.
"Well, could you please tell me your birth date first?" asked Yu Banxian.
"Can I tell you?" Cen Shuang looked at her mother, Yu, and asked.
Birth date, which is important information, is generally not easily told to others.
But Yu also wanted to hear Yu Banxian talk about her daughter's marriage to see if there could be any turnaround, so she told Yu Banxian openly.
After Yu Banxian got her birth date and horoscope, he began to pretend to calculate something with his fingers.
But in fact, he was waiting for Cen Yan to give him a hint.
Cen Yan found this somewhat amusing.
This Yu Banxian is really honest.
Ask her everything?
However, she didn't mind taking this opportunity to cause some trouble for the mother and daughter of the third room.
So, she picked up a piece of pumpkin, chewed it in her mouth for a while, then frowned and spit it out.
Hint that she gave it anyway.
As for whether Yu Banxian can catch it, it depends on himself.
On the surface, Yu Banxian was calculating with his eyes half closed, but in fact, when he occasionally opened his eyes, he was paying close attention to Cen Yan.
Fortunately, the position where he was sitting was facing Cen Yan.
At this moment he immediately caught Cen Yan's series of actions, and as he was thinking about it, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he understood what she meant.
"I've figured it out." Yu Banxian thought about it for a moment and suddenly spoke.
His tone was a little low, and his expression was a little solemn.
"Half-immortal, what do you mean?" Yu asked nervously.
"If my calculations are correct, your daughter should have a marriage currently, and is in the process of discussing it, right?" Yu Banxian said.
As soon as he opened his mouth, both Yu's mother and daughter were surprised, as if they thought, "He was right!"
