Chapter 459
When they saw Miaomiao, Pan's father and mother were very happy. The smiles on their faces never disappeared from the moment they entered the door.
Mother Pan held Su Miao's hand and chatted non-stop about everything from daily household matters to recent interesting events, as if she wanted to release all the enthusiasm that had been accumulated for a long time.
Until Pan's father couldn't help it, he gently touched Pan's mother's arm and reminded her with a smile: "Let Miaomiao see what we brought and see if she likes it."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Mother Pan finally woke up from her dream, quickly let go of Su Miao's hand, turned around and walked quickly towards the table where the gifts were placed. She was so anxious that she almost knocked over the chair next to her.
Although the gifts that Fatty brought the day before were all high-quality items, most of them were ordinary food.
What Pan's parents brought today was obviously much more valuable.
I saw beautifully packaged gift boxes neatly placed on the table. When I opened them, there were high-end supplements such as ginseng tea and donkey-hide gelatin. The packaging was exquisite and it was obvious that they were of great value.
The most eye-catching thing was the sparkling pearl necklace lying in a velvet box.
The pearls on this necklace are round and full, sparkling with a soft luster in the sun. They are two sizes larger than the ones Su Miao bought before, and they are obviously high-end products.
Su Miao couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself, this thing hasn't even been done yet, and they are willing to give such an expensive gift!
She subconsciously declined repeatedly, her tone sincere yet somewhat uneasy: "Auntie, this gift is too expensive! I can't accept it."
Mother Pan waved her hand hurriedly, then took Su Miao's hand and held it tightly, her eyes full of sincerity:
"Of course I can! Auntie has so many jewellery. Oh! When I bought them, I was thinking, if only I had a daughter, I could give her all the jewellery and dress her up beautifully.
Miaomiao! Auntie really likes you. I never thought that I could have such a beautiful and smart daughter! "
Seeing that Su Miao was still refusing, the fat brother was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and started to smooth things over: "Dad! Mom! Please calm down for now, this is too exciting, it's scary!
Now that this relative hasn't acknowledged it yet, Miaomiao definitely wouldn't dare take it! You should at least complete the process first!"
As he spoke, he smiled and winked at Su Miao, easing the atmosphere a lot.
Father Pan nodded quickly and agreed, "That's right! Yuanzheng, Miaomiao, do you have a Taoist priest in mind? Let's go and do a calculation together."
Su Yuanzheng and his daughter exchanged a glance, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Although I have lived in Yongcheng for a few years, I still don't know which Taoist priest is better here."
"If you don't mind, I do know an old gentleman who's quite famous and very accurate in his predictions. His house isn't far from here, only about ten minutes' drive away. Why don't we go over to his place?"
Su Miao nodded, and said in a clear voice: "Okay, then let's go and calculate for that old gentleman."
After the deal was made, the group hurried out and got into the car driven by Pan's father. Pan's mother held Su Miao's hand in the back seat and was reluctant to let go.
Su Miao has seen people queuing up at shopping malls, at movie theaters, at restaurants, and even at the toilet...
I never thought that you have to queue up for fortune-telling.
When they arrived at Huang Qigong's small courtyard, there were already about ten people sitting in the yard.
The courtyard was filled with a leisurely yet slightly anxious atmosphere. Everyone was chatting idly, and the topics were nothing more than family matters or curiosity about Qigong's fortune-telling.
From time to time, someone would look at the closed door, their eyes full of expectation, as if the answer to their life was hidden behind that door.
Seeing them come in, Qi Gong's daughter-in-law came over to greet them. With a professional smile on her face, she politely asked, "What can I do for you?"
Father Pan politely replied, "Hello, we are two families and we are planning to become in-laws. I would like to ask Qigong to help us calculate the fortune."
"Oh~ This is a small matter. Who are you going to marry? Please give me your birth dates."
As Qi Gong's daughter-in-law spoke, she took out a pen and paper from her pocket and prepared to take notes.
Her movements were skillful, and it was obvious that she had received countless people who came to tell fortunes like this.
Su Miao is the most important, so she must be given the horoscope, and then comes Pan Mama's.
This was what Pan's father and mother argued about all night last night, and finally decided by playing rock-paper-scissors.
On the way here, Pan's mother boasted proudly, "I told you Miaomiao and I were meant to be together. Her family is in business, and so is mine. We're a perfect match!"
Pan's father said unconvincedly, "Humph! I think my family is a good match! Their family is in business, and our family is in politics. We complement each other!"
However, no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, losing the game of rock-paper-scissors was a loss, and there was no regret.
Qi Gong's daughter-in-law said that there were many people here today and they had to wait patiently, so she went into the house with two notes.
Seeing so many people waiting outside, they thought they would have to wait a long time. Unexpectedly, after just a few minutes, the seventh prince's daughter-in-law came out and invited them in.
One of the older brothers who was waiting said in confusion, "Auntie, they were the last to arrive, how come they got in before the rest of us?"
"Seventh Master has his own rules for calculating things. Please wait a moment."
After the seventh prince's daughter-in-law finished speaking, she led Su Miao and the others into the house. Her tone was calm, but it was impossible to refute.
When Su Miao and his group entered the house, the last person who came to tell fortunes was just about to leave.
He was holding a fortune-telling divination in his hand, his face full of joy, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he kept saying words of thanks. He also bowed to thank the seventh prince's wife, looking as if he had received great news.
When entering the room, Su Miao observed it secretly. It was a very clean room with simple furnishings.
On an antique wooden table lies a large compass and a somewhat worn book with slightly yellowed pages, as if telling the story of the years.
The room was filled with a light scent of sandalwood, which made people feel inexplicably calm.
"Dad, that's them. They're considered godparents. This post belongs to this girl."
"Well, come sit here."
Qi Gong raised his eyes and motioned Su Miao to sit down. His voice was low and steady, with a reassuring power.
Su Miao followed the instructions and sat on the stool in front of Qigong.
"Hmm? Hiss...this?"
Qigong looked back and forth between the horoscope and Su Miao's face, his eyes filled with complex emotions alternating between confusion, shock, and sudden enlightenment.
His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had encountered an extremely complicated problem.
While he was looking at Su Miao, Su Miao was also observing him.
Unlike the mysterious Mr. Wu San, Mr. Qi has a gentle temperament and gives people the feeling of an old scholar.
Although there are traces of time on his face, one can still see the handsomeness of his youth.
His hair and beard were neatly groomed, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. If he walked outside, others might mistake him for an old teacher.
