Chapter 007 The Seventh Melon
The next morning, Gu Xicao took Lin Yuan to start work.
The brother and sister were reluctant to eat breakfast outside, so they steamed two sweet potatoes at home and ate them before coming out.
When Wang Laoshi saw them coming, he immediately ran over with a newspaper in his hand: "Xiao Gu, take a look at this newspaper!"
Gu Xicao glanced at the newspaper. It was today's Hong Kong Daily. The headline news was that the Mong Kok Police Station had arrested a robber and solved a gold robbery case worth more than three million.
In the newspaper, Lin Jianyi, who looked righteous, was holding the gloomy-looking robber. Below was the reporter's report, which clearly described how the robber kidnapped the garbage man, replaced the garbage man's identity and hid in the police station to work.
"I saw it, what's wrong?"
Gu Xicao opened the table and put the stools in place.
Wang Laoshi stared at Gu Xicao with wide eyes: "Did you really figure out this case?"
Gu Xicao said calmly: "It's not me..."
"I was wondering how you could do this." Wang Laoshi breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xicao said this with a malicious look in her eyes: "Could it be you?"
Wang Laoshi uttered an "ah" and almost bit his tongue. His eyes almost popped out of his head and he looked at Gu Xicao in surprise: "You, is it really you?!"
"If you don't believe me, forget it. All right, Master Wang, make way. We're getting started."
Gu Xicao held up the banner and asked Lin Yuan to take out his exercise book and pen to copy yesterday's Quiet Night Thoughts.
Wang Laoshi had no choice but to return to his seat, but the look he gave Gu Xicao was one of shock and disbelief.
As an expert, Wang Laoshi had never heard of anyone who could tell fortunes so accurately. Even Master Bai, the most famous person in Temple Street, was considered by Wang to be someone who could only talk and understand people.
If fortune-telling were really accurate, everyone would have become rich long ago!
"Xiufang, I'd like to invite you to go shopping today, so please don't hesitate."
Sun Jiaying smiled and took Zhou Xiufang's hand, "Whatever you want to eat or buy, I'll pay for it."
"What are you doing? You're so generous. Did you have a great time just the two of you last night?"
Zhou Xiufang teased.
Sun Jiaying blushed and gave Zhou Xiufang a cold look, "Okay, it's rare for me to be so generous and you still have so much to say. I should have known not to invite you earlier."
"Okay, it's my fault, but what did you do when you went back home last night?" Zhou Xiufang was a little curious.
When this matter was mentioned, Sun Jiaying immediately became excited, "You can't guess what happened to my boyfriend yesterday. They caught the robber, and he and his colleagues can get bonuses!"
Zhou Xiufang was surprised and asked, "Did your boyfriend catch that robber? I heard he was hiding in the police station, is that right?"
"Yes, what's even more surprising is that Zhaogan and his team didn't find it themselves, they asked someone to tell their fortunes. Isn't that amazing?" Sun Jiaying said this in a mysterious tone: "The fortune teller is doing business on this street."
Zhou Xiufang couldn't help but smile, "It sounds so mysterious, it's not true, I don't believe it."
"You don't believe it, but your boyfriend's family does, don't they?"
Sun Jiaying patted Zhou Xiufang's hand and said, "You told me before that your boyfriend asked for your birth date and horoscope to be calculated, saying that you would bring good luck to your husband. We can't just calculate for others, we have to calculate for ourselves whether your horoscopes are compatible with your boyfriend's."
Zhou Xiufang felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
She is of Chinese descent and returned to Hong Kong last year. After returning, she found that the superstition here is really strong. Engagement requires choosing a date, and blind dates require matching horoscopes. "Forget it, I don't believe in this."
"Well, well, then why don't you accompany me to calculate it?"
Sun Jiaying winked at Zhou Xiufang.
Zhou Xiufang understood, "Okay, it seems you wanted to do it yourself, so you dragged me into it."
The two chatted and laughed, and soon found Gu Xicao.
When Zhou Xiufang arrived at Gu Xicao's stall, she was stunned to see that she was pale and thin, with long hair tied into a pigtail, and looked like a girl studying for preparatory classes.
Sun Jiaying was also a little surprised, but she had learned about it from Sun Zhaogan, so she was not very surprised. "Young Master, are you the one who tells fortunes for people?"
"Yes, does this lady want to count?"
As soon as Gu Xicao saw two female guests coming, he immediately became alert.
Sun Jiaying pulled Zhou Xiufang to sit down, "Yes, I want to calculate my marriage, how do you accept it?"
"188 per divination, no bargaining."
Gu Xicao saw Wang Laoshi hiding behind the horse scripture and looking at this side furtively. The corner of his mouth twitched and he pretended not to see it.
"188, so expensive, is it accurate?" Sun Jiaying muttered. She said with disgust, but still paid the money readily.
Zhou Xiufang couldn't help but smile helplessly at the side.
Jiaying has this temper. Sometimes she is extremely stingy, and sometimes she spends money recklessly.
"Accurate, for example, right now, I know you are here to settle the relationship between you and Sun Sir."
Gu Xicao took the money with a smile and dropped a mine.
Sun Jiaying opened her mouth slightly, "I haven't said anything yet."
"You don't have to tell me, I know everything." As long as they met, the melon-eating system could even find out when she graded test papers when she was a child. Gu Xicao said, "Miss Sun, you and Mr. Sun are a match made in heaven. Your marriage will be smooth in the future. However, you can't let Mr. Sun manage your money in the future. He likes to spend money recklessly, lends money to others easily, and loses money in stock trading easily."
"Yeah, you're right. Zhao Gan spends his salary recklessly every day. I've said this many times."
After Sun Jiaying was shocked, she nodded in agreement, "I'll tell him when I get back and ask him to hand over his salary!"
"Well done, Mr. Sun is so lucky to have you as his girlfriend!"
Gu Xicao nodded in agreement.
Sun Jiaying was so happy that her mouth was about to be crooked with laughter, "I always think so."
“Cough cough cough…”
Wang Laoshi next to him almost choked to death.
He couldn't help but feel sympathy for Sun Sir. He hadn't even gotten married yet, but his salary card for the rest of his life had already been reserved.
"Master, you are really amazing. Can you help my best friend calculate it as well?"
After feeling happy, Sun Jiaying also thought about caring about her best friend's feelings.
Zhou Xiufang held her hand and said, "I don't need it anymore. I don't believe in this. Don't waste money."
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Xiufang.
When she saw Zhou Xiufang, the smile on her face gradually faded. She looked Zhou Xiufang up and down and frowned.
Zhou Xiufang felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her strange expression, "Young Master, don't worry, I won't count."
"Actually, of the two of you, she doesn't have to count, but you have to count."
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Xiufang seriously, "Are you and your boyfriend planning to get married at the end of the year?"
? ?
Zhou Xiufang was surprised when she suddenly mentioned a secret that only she and her boyfriend knew. "How did you know?"
"Xiufang, you didn't even tell me such a big thing?" Sun Jiaying looked at Zhou Xiufang in surprise.
Zhou Xiufang was embarrassed: "We haven't really decided on this matter yet, but I plan to ask you to be the maid of honor."
"If possible, you should break up with your boyfriend."
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Xiufang in front of him with pity.
She really didn't expect that this beautiful sister would have such a bumpy marriage.
"What?" Zhou Xiufang's face was not looking good. "Young Master, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Sun Jiaying looked at Gu Xicao hesitantly.
On the one hand, Gu Xicao’s prediction was very accurate, but on the other hand, she felt that breaking up with her boyfriend because of fortune-telling was a bit too frivolous.
"Don't be impatient, tell me first, what's your name?"
Gu Xicao said soothingly, and after asking to confirm that she was right, she also asked for his name.
"Zhou Xiufang, my English name is Celina." Zhou Xiufang crossed her arms and said, "If you prove that what you said is right, I can give you 188, but if you are wrong, please apologize."
Zhou Xiufang.
That's right.
Gu Xicao looked at Zhou Xiufang and asked, "Miss Zhou, was your family very poor when you were little? Did your father abandon you and your daughter very early?"
Her voice was so quiet that only people around the table could hear it.
Sun Jiaying exclaimed: "Master, you are wrong. My best friend's family is very rich. She studied in the United States."
After she finished speaking, she felt relieved, fortunately the young master's words were not true.
However, when she turned her head and saw Zhou Xiufang's expression, she was stunned.
Zhou Xiufang's expression was as if she had seen a ghost.
She opened her mouth and found her tongue after a while. "How do you know this? No one in Hong Kong knows about this!"
"Yes, your mother is very capable and hardworking. She sneaked into the United States for you and earned her first pot of gold by washing dishes and clothes. When she had some money, she brought you and your grandparents to the United States. Later, your mother met your stepfather while doing business, and they got married. Your stepfather treats you very well, doesn't he?"
When Gu Xicao saw these materials, she was secretly impressed. It turned out that there was no shortage of hardworking people in any era.
It is rare to see a woman in her thirties who is unfamiliar with the place and dares to go to the United States to earn money to support her family.
"Yes, you are right."
Zhou Xiufang was in a state of confusion at this moment. On the one hand, she was shocked that this little girl, who had just met her, could actually calculate these things that outsiders had no idea about. On the other hand, she was panicked that what this girl said about her and her boyfriend not being suitable for each other might be true.
Sun Jiaying's jaw dropped to the ground. She knew nothing about these things. "Xiufang, Auntie is so amazing. She is simply a role model for us women!"
"Yes, I admire my mother too, so I want to make a career like my mother and live up to her cultivation of me!"
Zhou Xiufang's eyes sparkled when she talked about these things.
"I'm working in the advertising industry now, and I want to start my own company in the future and shoot all kinds of commercials!"
"If I'm not mistaken, your boyfriend must have told you that he supports you in your career, right?"
Gu Xicao became much calmer.
The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. She was nervous the first time she pretended to be a charlatan, but now she is much better.
Zhou Xiufang was not stupid. She could hear the hidden meaning behind Gu Xicao's words. She looked at Gu Xicao hesitantly and said, "Yes, my boyfriend supports me very much. He often brings me meals and encourages me to work hard. He said that he doesn't want his wife to be a housewife in the future."
Gu Xicao almost sneered.
What a classic passage. In the 21st century, men still use the same words to coax women.
