Chapter 186 Stepbrother's Deep Schemes
The old man's words almost made Zhang Qing'er burst into tears. Could it be that the old man had also seen through her little scheme?
Although she learned that her cousin Lin Qian was a scumbag, Zhang Qing'er still felt a little sad and uncertain about the future, as her years of anticipation had not been in vain.
What good marriage can a woman who has been rejected by her fiancé find?
"Master, do you think... will my suffering end and my happiness begin in the future?"
"Father has been promoted, and this trip to the south is to another unfamiliar place," Zhang Qing'er asked uncertainly.
"Girl, think things through. Every cause has its effect. The South is a blessed land."
After Bai Ying finished speaking, he remained silent no matter what Zhang Qing'er asked.
Don't say too much, or you'll make mistakes. Just touch on the point and stop there. If you ask him again, he really won't know.
"Master, thank you for your guidance."
Zhang Qing'er bowed deeply and presented the silver with both hands.
Seeing that Lin Yuesha didn't quite believe her, Bai Ying stubbornly refused to accept the money. Having dealt with the young girl, Bai Ying knew she was very shrewd; if she accepted the money, she risked being mistaken for a swindler, which would be a greater loss than gain.
“Young lady, we are destined to meet, there’s no need to mention money.”
Bai Ying pushed the silver back, and Jiang Baozhu believed her a little more. She hesitated and said, "Master, I would like to have my fortune told."
"good."
Fortune telling is too difficult. One must be proficient in all eighteen martial arts and have a silver tongue. No wonder the emperor sent him here; no one else could do it.
At the very least, if someone is going to use a character for divination, you need to be able to read.
Jiang Baozhu thought for a moment and wrote the character "木" (wood) on the paper.
"The girl's family has few siblings, and as the saying goes, a single tree cannot make a forest."
Bai Ying was somewhat impressed with his own talent; how could he be so amazing! His words were somewhat cryptic, yet logical and well-founded.
The Jiang family's troubles were disgraceful, all because Jiang Baozhu had no brothers to help her.
"That……"
One sentence struck a chord with Jiang Baozhu, and she hesitated before asking, "Master, do you think I will have any brothers?"
My mother, Madam Xu, is in poor health. Even with the best care, she only has a few years left to live. A few years later, my father will be in his prime and can remarry and take concubines.
Jiang Baozhu had already considered these things, but thinking about them now still makes her feel heartbroken.
Everyone is selfish, and she is no exception.
Now that her father has a son, he won't care about her anymore.
"Fortune changes with the celestial phenomena, so young lady, this old man does not know."
Bai Ying stared at Jiang Baozhu, who was the little girl's good friend. Since that was the case, he would say a few more words of comfort.
“Young lady, although I cannot answer your question now, you are destined to have many children and be blessed with many blessings. You are destined to have five children.”
Five sons, is that enough? Even a sow can't reproduce that many times.
Bai Ying really wanted to open a folding fan, thinking, "Isn't that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baozhu's cheeks flushed red with embarrassment, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.
Will she and Zhang Jing have five sons after they get married? I can hardly believe it.
She covered her face with her hands, unable to ask a single question, and could only repeatedly thank the white-bearded old man.
Bai Ying waved his hand, his expression indifferent. These two were just appetizers; the little girl was the one he wanted to seduce.
"Sister Yue Sha, why don't you take the test too?"
The old man's predictions were incredibly accurate, and he didn't charge any money; he must be a master from somewhere.
Our meeting today must be fate; if we miss this opportunity, we will never have such a good chance again.
"Okay, then I'll have my character analyzed too."
Lin Yuesha was thinking of a pockmarked face, so she wrote the character "麻" (pockmarked) on a piece of paper.
Bai Ying looked at it, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Lin Yuesha felt as if the air had frozen, and she was somewhat afraid to look up at the old man.
"What would you like to ask, young lady?"
Bai Ying wanted to cry. The first two were simple, but this little girl was unusual and had stumped him. He had to explain it in a way that made sense and flowed smoothly.
"Asking about marriage prospects."
Lin Yuesha bit her lip. She wanted to ask about her fortune, but there was no doubt that she could make money. What puzzled her most was her marriage. How many women were indifferent to their marriage?
"Ah, young lady, then this old man will speak frankly."
Bai Ying sighed first, making Zhang Qing'er and Jiang Baozhu's hearts tighten.
"Please speak, Master."
Lin Yuesha gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead and tell me. I can bear it. If my marriage is not going well, I will deceive myself and believe the high monks of Yutan Temple."
"The character '广' with two '木' radicals forms the character '麻', which means that the girl has someone to protect her, has a noble destiny, and will naturally turn misfortune into good fortune in times of danger."
Bai Ying, drawing on Lin Yuesha's experiences, made up a story.
Lin Yuesha thought about it carefully and realized that what the master said made sense. She had been in danger several times, and she had helped others and they had helped her in return.
The most bizarre thing was that He Xing suddenly died just as he was about to reveal her secret, which greatly surprised Lin Yuesha.
Although her journey was full of twists and turns, she kept encountering kind people and did not suffer much injustice.
"However, young lady, the presence of two pieces of wood indicates that you will be admired by many men in the future, and these two men will be evenly matched."
Bai Ying was talking nonsense, but she found herself quite addicted to it.
"Then how should I choose?"
Lin Yuesha was stunned. Two men were vying for her? Was it really that few? With her looks, suitors would be lining up at her door.
"A young woman should not marry before the age of eighteen, otherwise she will marry the wrong person."
Bai Ying wanted to wipe a bead of sweat from his brow. This was the master's true intention. All that nonsense had been said, but it all boiled down to one essential point.
"Can you get married after you turn eighteen?"
Lin Yuesha was indifferent; she didn't plan to get married so early anyway, and intended to spend a few more years with her parents.
