"That's right." Aunt Xiao nodded in response.
Old Madam Ren was a little surprised. "When they first moved here last year, our old master sent the butler to deliver some congratulatory gifts, and the Han family also sent gifts in return. However, the women in their family rarely go out, so although there are some courtesies between our two families, I have never met anyone from the Han family. How come the Han family has a connection with the Yanbei Palace?"
Aunt Xiao thought about it and shook her head: "I haven't heard of this. I have been to the Han family twice and met the old lady and the wife of the Han family. The old lady Han is a kind person, and the wife Han is also very capable."
"I heard that the current head of the Han family, Old Master Han, is marrying in?"
Old Lady Ren was genuinely curious about the Han family. Normally, a son-in-law was looked down upon and held little status in his wife's family. Yet, this old man had taken over the Han family after the previous head of the family passed away. He wasn't the patriarch, but he was more than a patriarch.
There were many rumors about the Han family in Baihe Town. Some said that the Han family was originally a wealthy local family in Jizhou, with only a few assets. It was the current old man Han who had a unique vision and, convinced by his father-in-law, sold some of his land to start a business, which eventually made him a fortune.
Unfortunately, the Han family has always kept a low profile. The men go out to do business, while the women stay at home and have almost no contact with people in the town.
Just as Aunt Xiao was about to answer, the curtain of the east room was lifted and Ren Yaohua walked out.
"Grandma, I've packed everything... Eh? Do you have guests?" Ren Yaohua had been favored by Old Lady Ren since she was young, and she spoke more casually than other granddaughters. She was halfway through her words when she saw Aunt Xiao.
Old Madam Ren glared at her and said to Aunt Xiao, "I've spoiled this girl. She has no rules. Don't be offended, Aunt."
Aunt Xiao said hurriedly: "Everyone knows that the girls in the Ren family are either gentle and friendly or lively and lovely."
Ren Yaohua came up with a smile and greeted Aunt Xiao, then said to Old Lady Ren, "Grandma, I still have to go back to Ziwei Courtyard, so I won't disturb you from entertaining guests."
Old Mrs. Ren nodded and said, "You can have lunch over there. I want to have a vegetarian meal with Aunt Xiao today."
Ren Yaohua responded and turned to leave.
Aunt Xiao smiled as she watched Ren Yaohua leave: "Is this your third sister? I haven't seen her for a while, and she looks even more beautiful."
Old Madam Ren laughed heartily and said, "He's too impulsive, a mischievous monkey."
"I think you are a person who knows your limits." Aunt Xiao said, suddenly stretched out her right hand to calculate, frowned slightly, then took her hand back, picked up the tea beside her and took a sip without making any expression.
Her actions were seen by Old Lady Ren.
Old Madam Ren knew that Aunt Xiao was good at feng shui and fortune-telling, and her predictions were quite accurate, so she couldn't help but ask, "What was Aunt Xiao doing just now?"
Seeing that Old Lady Ren was asking more questions, Aunt Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "I remember that your third sister was born in the Gengwu year?"
"Aunt has a good memory. Hua'er was born in August of the Gengwu year, and he is twelve years old this year." Old Mrs. Ren nodded.
Aunt Xiao thought about it carefully and said thoughtfully, "Isn't this year my zodiac year?"
Old Madam Ren frowned: "But what's wrong? I remember that your aunt Zeng Huaer's fate is very compatible with mine."
Aunt Xiao shook her head. "That's right. Old Master Ren was born in the year of Bingxu, and you were born in the year of Gengyin. Bing and Geng are originally in conflict, but Third Sister is a Tiger, and because Yin, Wu, and Xu form a fire element, it perfectly matches the fortune of the Ren family house. This is very auspicious. However, this year is Third Sister's zodiac year, and she offends Tai Sui, so this auspicious omen will turn into a bad omen."
