Lin Xi raised her hand, "Line up properly, don't push. We're having our fortunes told today."
An older woman asked, "Master, why is today the fifth hexagram?"
Lin Xi coughed lightly, "It's a rule of our sect."
In reality, the purple aura around her was fading, and her fortune was dwindling; she could no longer earn that much money in a day.
Lin Xi's dream of becoming a rich woman was shattered before it even began.
She planned to secretly bite Fu Jingyao late at night after the purple aura had completely disappeared.
This time, we must make a good plan.
First, knock Fu Jingyao unconscious, then bite him. After biting him, apply some ointment to remove the mark, ensuring he won't notice.
Lin Xi straightened her expression and continued telling fortunes.
Ma Cuixiang won first place.
I heard that a new master has come to the antique street and helped Grandpa Li find his long-lost daughter. She came to queue up before dawn.
She often does fortune telling; whether she's truly skilled or not can be easily tested.
Ma Cuixiang, holding her grandson's hand, stepped forward and said, "Master, my grandson is taking the college entrance exam this year. Can you tell me if he will be able to get into university?"
Beside her, Xu Ze'en said impatiently, "Grandma, don't you know my grades? Don't believe in this superstitious stuff. Dad said it's all a lie."
Ma Cuixiang patted his head and said, "What do children know? This is not feudal superstition, it is promoting the excellent traditional Chinese culture."
She straightened her back. "Besides, I'm spending my own money, what brat dares to complain?!"
Unable to argue with his grandmother, Xu Ze'en stood in front of Lin Xi with one hand in his pocket, looking up at the sky.
Ma Cuixiang smiled apologetically, "Master, the child is just being silly, please don't mind him."
Lin Xi waved her hand, "It's alright, we're just young people."
Xu Ze'en was speechless. Who was the child here?
This master looks even younger than him; Grandma is really senile.
Lin Xi spread out paper and pen, "Write a word."
The master said that by changing the way fortune telling is done, the onlookers will be more interested.
Character divination is also a form of fortune telling.
The elderly men and women put on their reading glasses, stared wide-eyed inside, and said they had never seen fortune telling like this before; it was truly a rare sight.
Xu Ze'en picked up a pen and wrote the character "佳" (jia), his tone extremely impatient.
"Then what?"
Lin Xi glanced at it and said, "Your grades are among the best in the school, so getting into university shouldn't be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Ma Cuixiang felt relieved.
Xu Ze'en proudly raised his chin, "I've always been number one in my grade since I was little. If I can't get into university, who can? A thousand yuan is only worth this one sentence. You're making money too easily..."
Ma Cuixiang grabbed his ear and shouted, "Shut up!"
"Ouch! Grandma, it hurts!"
Xu Ze'en covered his ears and stood silently to the side.
Ma Cuixiang asked, "Master, what is the meaning of the character '佳'?"
Lin Xi said calmly, "There are two meanings."
"Jia, with fire on the left and earth on the right, the hexagram Jin (晋) is composed of Kun (坤) below and Li (离) above, symbolizing the rising sun. This is an auspicious hexagram."
"Your grandson has excellent grades and will be admitted to his ideal university. He has a bright future ahead of him."
Upon hearing this, Ma Cuixiang couldn't stop smiling. "This child has no other talents; all he knows how to do is study since he was little."
Xu Ze'en raised his chin even higher. "I admit, what you said is very true."
The onlookers were envious, saying, "Aunt Ma, are you here to show off your grandson?"
Ma Cuixiang said proudly, "Don't cause trouble."
She then asked, "Master, what is the second meaning...?"
Lin Xi smiled mysteriously, "Jia also refers to a beautiful woman. Being a couple is truly a joyous occasion in life."
"What?!"
Ma Cuixiang understood, grabbed Xu Ze'en's ear with her other hand, and twisted it sharply.
"You little brat, you're dating too early!!"
Xu Ze'en: !!!
His classmates and teachers were unaware of his relationship, so how did this woman know?
Oh no! His ears are gone.
Xu Ze'en hung his head, howling in pain, "Grandma, it hurts, it hurts, stop..."
Ma Cuixiang put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You didn't learn any other skills, but you learned all of your father's skills in early romance."
Xu Ze'en: "..."
Grandma, you just said I only know how to study, but now all I know how to do is date.
Xu Ze'en cast a pleading look at Lin Xi, "Master, we are truly in love."
Ma Cuixiang picked up her cloth shoes, "What does a little kid like you know about true love?"
Lin Xi spoke up to stop her, "Auntie, let the young people handle their own affairs. Interfering will only bring bad luck to them."
The character "佳" also has a third meaning: the name of the person Xu Ze'en likes contains the character "佳".
However, she didn't say it aloud, saving the child some face.
Ma Cuixiang, a fortune teller, understood immediately: "Master, this girl is Xu Ze'en's destined partner."
A destined partner is someone you are meant to be with for life.
Lin Xi nodded. This child is very lucky.
Xu Ze'en's face was full of gratitude. "Thank you, Master. You are truly a divine being."
Waaah, the master saved his ears.
Ma Cuixiang thanked him and dragged Xu Ze'en home.
In the crowd, a young man rolled his eyes, sensing that his opportunity had arrived.
He walked up to Linxi, picked up his brush, and wrote the character "佳" (jia).
Wu De, a man, shouted, "Let me also calculate whether I can get into university?"
He sneered.
How do you interpret the same character "佳"?
If he couldn't explain it, Wu De would be able to complete the task that Master Qian had given him.
Lin Xi glanced at his face, her smile unchanged, "Are you sure you want to count this as academics? Are you sure you want to write this character?"
Wu De urged impatiently, "Hurry up and calculate, can't you figure it out?"
Lin Xi said, "Then as you wish, pay first."
Wu De tossed out a thousand yuan and snorted disdainfully, "Don't try to use the same old excuse. I'm not someone who's easily fooled."
