Chapter 9 Master Qian's Brilliance



Wang Li gasped, "Master, you mean...my son is..."

Lin Xi nodded. "It's exactly what you think."

Wang Li's son has fair skin, sparse beard, light eyebrows, and watery eyes; he clearly doesn't like girls.

Lin Xi said, "You already know this in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't be asking around."

“That’s right, I wanted to prove my guess was correct, and now it seems…”

Wang Li rubbed her temples vigorously and remained silent for a long time.

Long ago, she noticed something was wrong with her son, so she frantically sought out fortune tellers, only to find that all the fortune tellers on the street were complete charlatans.

They would either say that their son's true love was late in life, or that their son would get married three times, and then try to trick her into buying some kind of peach blossom charm or a charm for having a son soon.

Only the little girl in front of him could see the problem.

Wang Li took a few deep breaths. "Master, should I prepare a bride price or a dowry?"

Lin Xi: "..."

That's some amazing mental fortitude; he accepted reality so quickly.

Lin Xi quickly made a judgment and whispered in Wang Li's ear, "Dowry."

Wang Li was exasperated. "How could this child be so disappointing? He's the one who's the second son. Who will inherit my fortune?"

She had a loud voice, and all the elderly people heard what she said.

Lin Xi covered her face.

To save Wang Li's face, she whispered.

Unexpectedly, Wang Li didn't care about this at all; people in big cities are indeed open-minded.

The elderly folks chuckled and said, "Wang Li, you're still young. Respond to the country's call and hurry up and have another one."

"Yes, yes, the children born this year are dragon sons."

Wang Li put her hands on her hips and said, "Go away! I'm forty years old this year, what's the point of having another baby? If you want to have a baby, go have one!"

But on second thought, this is also a good idea.

Wang Li then asked, "Master, do you think I can still get pregnant?"

Lin Xi smiled mysteriously, "You are already two months pregnant."

"What?!!"

Wang Li was shocked and subconsciously touched her stomach. "No wonder, I always feel like I've gained weight recently."

This made the onlookers even more excited.

"Wang Li, congratulations! Wishing you a smooth delivery and a safe delivery for both mother and child."

Wang Li shuddered at the thought of her son. "This time, I want a daughter!"

She quickly asked Lin Xi, "Master, can you tell me if I'm having a boy or a girl? I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to know the gender so I can make preparations."

Lin Xi shook her head. "According to the sect's rules, the sex of the fetus is not taken into account."

Another woman added, "The law stipulates that you can't reveal the sex of the fetus. Wang Li, don't ruin the master's life."

Wang Li quickly waved her hand, "Master, I was just saying. Thank you, Master. I'll invite you to the full moon celebration next time."

She touched her belly and walked away happily.

The rest of the elderly men and women immediately crowded over.

These elderly people all have pensions, so a thousand yuan is nothing to them; they can just buy a few less health supplements.

Lin Xi counted one thing after another, all of them minor matters: her children's marriages, her grandchildren's studies, and so on.

After performing ten divinations, it was getting dark, so she quickly packed up her stall to avoid being struck by lightning.

Lin Xi waved goodbye, "Grandpas and grandmas, come again tomorrow, first come first served."

I earned 10,000 today, donated 5,000, and have 5,000 left.

Earning 5,000 a day means 150,000 a month, making her a rich woman in no time.

There are more opportunities to make money in big cities.

Lin Xi splurged and ordered eighteen dishes from a restaurant.

As soon as she got home, she released five little paper figures.

Xiao Huo exclaimed, "Wow! It smells so good! It's much better than Xiao Mu's cooking!"

Xiao Mu tapped his head. "It doesn't taste good. Don't eat it next time."

Little Fire covered his head, "Little Wood, I was wrong."

He and Xiaoshui skillfully picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Little Gold put his hands on his hips and said, "Wait a minute, you two, the master hasn't eaten yet."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, let's all eat together."

Xiao Tu is new here and not used to using chopsticks, so she can't compete with Xiao Huo and Xiao Shui for food.

Xiao Jin noticed this and took three pieces of braised pork from the small bowl and gave them to Xiao Tu.

Xiao Tu paused for a moment, then gave a sweet smile, "Thank you, Brother Jin."

Xiao Jin gave a cool "hmm," and said, "Eat quickly."

Xiao Huo rolled her eyes. "What a fickle guy."

Xiao Jin glared at him, and Xiao Huo obediently continued eating.

The following afternoon, Linxi went to the same spot to set up her stall as usual.

As soon as she arrived, the elderly men and women immediately gathered around, some even bringing their own melon seeds, stools, and tea.

An older woman handed Lin Xi a handful of sunflower seeds, saying, "Master, come, come, don't be shy."

Lin Xi said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, it's worthless."

The woman waved her hand, "Master, you're absolutely right. Wang Li went to the hospital last night and it's confirmed she's pregnant."

Has Grandpa Li's daughter been found?

"My husband saw Grandpa Li crying while hugging a woman at the market this morning. He should have found her."

"It's truly amazing!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mr. Li and his wife walked over, pulling along a middle-aged woman.

The crowd spontaneously made way for them, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

With tears in his eyes, Mr. Li said, "Master, thanks to your reminder, I realized how close my daughter is to me."

He had been to the ends of the earth, but he never expected that his daughter would live in the same city as him.

Yesterday, after listening to Lin Xi's advice, Mr. Li couldn't sleep all night, and the next morning he took his wife to the market.

He walked very slowly. His wife saw someone selling tofu pudding on the street and stopped involuntarily. "Old man, Yueyue loved to eat tofu pudding when she was little."
