As the morning light begins to break, the soft light gently pushes away the morning mist, covering the city with a hazy veil.
Jiang Yan went to the company as energetic as usual to start a new busy day.
Old Master Jiang accompanied Jiang Suisui with a loving look on his face as they walked towards the familiar stall in the park.
Along the way, Jiang Suisui pouted her small mouth and looked at her great-grandfather with worry.
She thought to herself that her great-grandfather was already so old and should be enjoying his leisure time at home after retirement, but instead he had to accompany her out to "work", which was too hard.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Along the way, she started to persuade her great-grandfather like Tang Monk chanting scriptures, trying to make him change his mind.
"Grandpa, don't go. Just rest at home. I can do it myself. You don't have to worry about me."
Jiang Suisui took Old Master Jiang's hand and shook it, her eyes full of earnestness.
Old Master Jiang seemed to be determined and refused to agree.
He smiled and touched Jiang Suisui's head, with a sly look in his eyes: "My dear granddaughter, Grandpa wants to go to the park to see the scenery and stretch his muscles. Besides, the air in the park is fresh and good for your health."
In fact, Grandpa Jiang didn’t just want to see the scenery. His little grandson didn’t understand. This was such a good opportunity.
It allows me to show off my smart and clever grandson.
Yesterday he saw the envious looks from those old men and women. The great-grandfather was like a child who had got a favorite toy. He felt so happy that his pride could be seen in his smile.
Soon, the grandparents and grandchildren arrived at the park.
Soft light filters through the mottled leaves and falls on the park paths.
Before I even reached the location of yesterday's stall, a winding line had already formed there, like a long dragon waiting to be fed by its owner.
The old men and women who were originally dancing, swordplaying, and playing chess in the park were now like being cast under a spell. They were no longer focused on their own activities, but gathered tightly nearby, their eyes fixed on the direction of the stalls.
While they were waiting, they were still talking to each other.
"I heard that the little girl's fortune-telling yesterday seemed to be assisted by a god. She was so young, but she was able to unravel such a complicated matter as a missing child and tell it clearly. The details were as if she had seen them with her own eyes. It was truly amazing!" said an old man in Tai Chi clothes in amazement.
"That's right! This matter has spread throughout our circle. I got up early today and rushed to queue up, hoping that this little fortune teller could give some advice to my old bones." An old man holding a birdcage echoed, his eyes full of anticipation.
At this time, Jiang Qi skillfully arranged his young lady's stall in an orderly manner.
Jiang Suisui carefully supported the old man, and after the old man sat down steadily, she sat down in front of the stall slowly.
She has a straight and elegant posture, and her eyes are like a quiet pool, deep and focused, with a calmness that allows her to see through everything.
Those small hands were like nimble elves, skillfully moving between the divination sticks and the compass. Every move exuded an innate mysterious temperament and a confidence beyond her age.
The first two hexagrams today progressed exceptionally smoothly and at an astonishing speed.
What the first two people are asking for is, first, to compare their horoscopes to find a good match, and second, to ask about their future in order to seek development.
In the blink of an eye, it was the last hexagram's turn.
I saw a young man in his twenties walking towards me with slightly heavy steps. He was thin, his face was haggard, and his eyes showed deep confusion and fatigue.
After he slowly sat down in front of the stall, he swallowed nervously and said, "Little Master, I just happened to pass by here, and I heard the grandparents praising your fortune-telling skills, so I wanted to come and ask for a fortune."
Jiang Suisui raised her eyes and swept her gaze across the young man's face with a torch-like gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate the soul. In an instant, she had some thoughts in her mind.
Without waiting for the young man to say anything, she said softly, "Write down your mother's date of birth."
Although he was young and his voice was soft, he carried an unquestionable authority.
The young woman was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She really knew what I was going to ask.
Under Jiang Suisui's calm gaze, he quickly picked up the pen and wrote down his mother's birthday.
The handwriting was a little shaky, as if the pen carried his years of longing and concern for his mother.
Jiang Suisui closed his eyes and concentrated, fiddling with the divination sticks with his hands quickly and accurately, muttering to himself.
The fortune sticks in her hands were like nimble snakes, weaving and weaving, making a slight rustling sound, as if they were talking to her, telling her the secrets that had been buried by the years.
After a moment, her expression changed slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of solemnity.
Jiang Suisui looked at the young man deeply and said, "Your mother is no longer alive."
These words were like heavy stones thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of huge waves.
The young man was struck by lightning when he heard this. His body shook violently, his eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in his eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment. "Little Master, how is this possible? She must still be alive."
The young man's eyes were dull. "My family said my mom ran off with someone else because she thought my dad was too busy and neglecting the family. I don't believe it! How could my mom..."
His voice was choked with sobs, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his heart, full of pain and confusion.
