Chapter 319: Humility Does Not Belong to Her

But Dai Qing took this opportunity, grabbed her wrist, and with a little force, made her sit on the small stool opposite.

Being pressed on a stool, the old lady looked at Dai Qing with a pale face. Before she could open her mouth, Dai Qing spoke first.

"Whether to have a boy or a girl is the couple's business. It's better for you not to worry too much. Otherwise, it won't do you any good."

Dai Qing said, looking at the old lady's face.

"I see that there are dark spots under your eyes, which indicates that you are afraid of harming your children. For the sake of your children and grandchildren, you'd better let go and not interfere in their lives. Your family will be peaceful. Otherwise, there will be chaos and no peace."

As the saying goes, when there is a troublemaker in the family, life will not be peaceful.

This old lady was very strong-willed when she was young, and now that she is old she still wants to control her children's lives.

But the children have started their own families and have their own lives. If the old lady interferes too much, it will only cause conflicts between couples, disharmony in the family, and make the family even poorer.

Sure enough, after listening to Dai Qing's explanation, the old lady's face turned dark and she looked angry.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Li's cough.

"Ahem~, old sister-in-law, listen to my advice, a harmonious family brings prosperity, and children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

The old lady's mouth trembled, and it took her a while to find her voice. She stood up suddenly, pointed at the two people's noses,

"Are you fortune tellers? I came here with money, not to be taught by you."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at Dai Qing with a calm expression, not affected at all.

Not bad, I can still keep my composure and stick to the bottom line.

Just curse me.

"My sister-in-law already knows what's going on, why bother asking her again?"

After hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, snorted and stood up.

"If you hadn't told me my fortune, I definitely wouldn't have paid the money."

Seeing the old lady leave angrily, the pregnant woman next to her also looked unhappy. She looked at Dai Qing and was silent for a moment.

"Thank you little girl."

"It's okay. It's just a piece of cake."

Dai Qing looked at her worried expression and couldn't help but comfort her.

"You just said that no matter whether it's a boy or a girl, it's your child. Just relax and take good care of yourself. Remember, worrying too much will be bad for the fetus."

"I know, but there's a lot of noise at home..."

She suddenly stopped talking halfway and looked at Dai Qing with a red face. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, and she didn't know what happened. She couldn't help herself in the face of the little girl's concern.

He glanced at Dai Qing awkwardly and left in a hurry.

Looking at her back, Dai Qing shook her head helplessly and turned to look at Shen Xiangzi.

"What does Xiangshi Jiang think about the issue of whether to have a boy or a girl?"

Listening to Dai Qing's question, Jiang Li looked at her quietly for a moment, with a smile on his face.

"Whether a child is a boy or a girl is determined by the parents' fate... Of course, these days, most families still prefer boys, who will become the pillars of the family when they grow up. Girls, on the other hand, will be married off when they grow up."

"When a boy grows up, he becomes an additional member of the family. When a girl grows up, there is one less person in the family. The common people have always believed that a family will prosper only if the population is large. That's all."

Listening to Jiang Li's analysis, Dai Qing nodded.

"Will Master Jiang favor boys over girls?"

"...I am poor and have no children, so I cannot answer this question from your perspective." Facing Dai Qing's question, Jiang Li was stunned for a moment and spoke softly.

But the smile in his eyes couldn't be concealed. The little girl was quite interesting.

"Although Taoism does not affect marriage and having children, Fei Dao has been obsessed with physiognomy all his life and has never thought of getting married. Although he is alone, the Jiang School has also accepted several disciples, so he has a place to go."

After hearing this, Dai Qing looked up at the physiognomist's marks on his face, but couldn't help but speak.

"Every time a scholar comes down from the mountains, he wants to show his ambition and prove what he has learned. But after Jiang Xiangshi left the mountains, he kept wandering around in the market. Why is that?"

Jiang Li: “…”

The little girl has sharp eyes?

Seeing Jiang Li silent, Dai Qing looked at him for a moment and smiled awkwardly, "I just asked casually, don't take it to heart, Master Jiang."

Maybe I accidentally touched someone's privacy.

"My friend's physiognomy skills are not worse than mine, why weren't you recruited?" Jiang Li came to his senses and kicked the ball back.

"I don't discriminate between people when I read people's faces. Everyone who comes is a guest, and meeting each other is fate... But I like freedom and don't like being constrained, so I won't be recruited by anyone."

This is her bottom line, there is nothing to hide.

As a personal fortune teller for a family or a faction, it is difficult for her to stick to her own bottom line, which goes against her principles.

Of course, so far, she has not been favored by any force.

"...You are a clear-headed person." Although the idea is good, sometimes ideas and reality collide.

Once someone is targeting you, you cannot fight back with just belief.

"You are so young, yet you are impressive. No wonder the old Taoist priests praise you so much. You are indeed a young person to be feared."

The little girl in front of him was more talented and courageous than any of his disciples.

I'm really curious about which hidden master created this girl?

Dai Qing smiled at Jiang Li's praise, but she was not humble. She was determined to be the best fortune teller, and being humble would only make her look hypocritical.

"My grandfather once said that I was born to be a fortune teller."

Jiang Li: “…”

This girl is not humble at all.

However, the confidence and pride in this girl always made him feel inexplicably close to her.

Once upon a time, their Jiang School also had such a genius, but he was short-lived and was destroyed by the slander of those people.

The Jiang family has been stigmatized for half a century without any reason.

Suddenly, Dai Qing discovered that Jiang Li was emitting a hostile aura mixed with anger.

Why are you suddenly angry?

Did she say something she shouldn't have? Or did she accidentally poke his lung again?

"What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Li was stunned, and then he realized that he had revealed his emotions in front of a little girl. His body suddenly became stiff.

He looked a little annoyed.

Because of this, his father reminded him more than once to control his temper.

As a fortune teller, the worst thing to do is to have a bad temper and lose control of your emotions.

Sure enough, after all these years, he still lacked cultivation.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Jiang Li calmed down for a while, then turned to look at Dai Qing. Her big eyes like black grapes were blinking at him, which made him even more embarrassed.

At your age, you are not even as good as a little girl. How shameful.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone has secrets that cannot be touched, you and I are the same."

Dai Qing smiled gently, thinking of the knowledge of Jiang School that Taoist Zhenyou had popularized to her, and she could vaguely guess some of it.

In fact, she was very curious about the genius fortune teller Jiang Tuo, but apparently, this name was a taboo in the Jiang School.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was silent.
