The Taoist priest touched Tang Chen's left hand and then her right hand, and then even dared to touch her face, but Tang Chen slapped him mercilessly and pushed his hand away. Wang Yanzhou, who was watching, was filled with hatred, but for once, he managed to hold back.
Tang Chen glanced at Wang Yanzhou, who was silent and gloomy, and shook his head helplessly. Then he asked with a smile, "How is it, Great Immortal? I feel like my lifeline has grown to my wrist. I should be able to live a hundred years, right?"
The legendary Huang Banxian's fingers on one hand twitched like he was going crazy, while with the other hand he stroked his unwashed beard and shook his head pretentiously, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
Tang Chen then asked, "Well, I've told you the eight characters. You've been thinking about this for so long, so it's time for you to give me an explanation, right?"
This time, Huang Banxian not only shook his head, but also felt that Tang Chen asked too many questions and had a bad attitude, so he simply stopped talking.
After Tang Chen rolled his eyes at Wang Yanzhou, he finally couldn't help but get angry: "Master, please say something, why are you shaking your head!"
The immortal continued to shake his head, unable to stop. Tang Chen raised the corner of his mouth, snorted coldly, picked up a stone from the side of his shoe, held it in his hand, and pulled Wang Yanzhou to leave: "Yanzhou, this old man is probably sick, let's go. I'll go find a doctor for him later. Since there is no explanation, the money is not worth it."
Huang Banxian was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped shaking his head. He walked out and held Erkang's hand, saying, "Wait!"
Tang Chen turned around and saw that he finally reacted. There was no rush to do anything anyway, so he simply sat down in front of the stall again, wanting to hear if this immortal could spit out a flower from his mouth.
Huang Banxian didn't make any further moves this time, saying bluntly, "Their horoscopes indicate one is water and the other is fire, which is the principle that water and fire cannot counteract each other. If they were to marry, there would undoubtedly be unrest in the family and endless disasters."
Without waiting for Wang Yanzhou to speak, Tang Chen anxiously asked, "Is there a way to crack it?"
Upon seeing this, Huang Banxian began to think about how many dishes to add to tonight: "As long as the Taoist performs the ritual for 49 days, there will naturally be improvement, but..."
Tang Chen didn't give him any pretentious words and just interrupted, "However, we think this kind of life is quite exciting, so we won't bother you. Thank you very much, goodbye."
After saying that, Tang Chen placed the stone he had just picked up on the table when he left. Before he had taken a few steps, he was stopped by Huang Banxian, who claimed to be blind: "Hey, girl, I don't accept stones here. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Tang Chen raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Didn't you say you were blind? I think you're very good. You spend all day fooling others instead of doing your work. I wonder how many good marriages have been ruined in your hands!"
After saying that, Tang Chen untied the purse from Wang Yanzhou's waist, took out some loose change from it, and placed it on the table, warning him: "Here's the money. You're already a grown-up, but you should also think about doing some normal work. If I catch you cheating again, I'll shut you down!"
After Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou left, the crowd dispersed. Huang Banxian collected his silver, sat down at his stall, and began gossiping with a few familiar vendors nearby. "That girl, she didn't even ask who I am before she said something like that. Be careful, or I'll cast a curse on her!"
The vendors looked at each other, and finally looked at the newcomer as if he were a joke: "Master, you should first find out who those two people were. I think your stall is really going to fail."
Huang Banxian felt a little timid when he heard this. Seeing how plainly dressed they were, he wondered if they had offended some wealthy family in the town. "So, you know who they are?"
The vendors kindly reminded him, "You opened your stall on someone else's land, and you curse them like this. You're not going to be able to continue your business."
Huang Banxian finally understood. Damn, he just said that casually because he saw the girl's bad attitude. If he had known earlier, he should not have been greedy for such a small amount of money and followed the normal routine! The key point is that he seemed to have lost control of his hands and touched the lady: "......!"
After getting on the carriage, Tang Chen sternly educated Wang Yanzhou: "I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to go shopping with me. Superstitions are a bad idea. Many of them are lies."
Wang Yanzhou also beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret: "I told Anian to look for it outside, but he didn't go. Sigh!"
Tang Chen was really unhappy after hearing this. Marriage is a matter between two people. If they like each other, they can be together. If they don’t like each other, forget it. Did he really listen to those feudal superstitions and cause trouble? "Hey, hey, hey, are you marrying me, or my horoscope?"
Wang Yanzhou saw that Tang Chen was angry and quickly replied, "Of course I'll marry you!"
Tang Chen snorted, looked out the window and asked, "Speaking of which, this is not the way back, where else do you want to go? You haven't made an appointment with some old immortal to check the feng shui of your house, have you?"
Wang Yanzhou explained: "Not this time. I was thinking of asking someone to help us choose a good day."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen immediately stated his attitude: "We've already agreed that if it's this kind of deception again, I won't go."
Wang Yanzhou said, "Don't worry, we're going to visit an elder. My mother doesn't have many relatives, and he's the only one left. Naturally, we have to tell him about this important matter of marriage. But he lives quite far away, so we might have to stay there all night."
Since it was a visit to the elders, Tang Chen naturally had no objection. After all, this seemed to be her first formal visit to the elders, so she couldn't lose her manners: "Did you bring a gift?"
"nature."
The carriage was moving rhythmically on the bluestone paved road. Outside the window, peach blossoms in full bloom formed the most beautiful scenery in spring.
Tang Chen leaned on Wang Yanzhou's shoulder, looked at the flowers passing by outside the window, smelled the fragrance that came from time to time with the warm breeze, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
The moment the carriage stopped, Tang Chen suddenly opened her eyes and woke up. After asking Wang Yanzhou to comb her messy hair, the two hurriedly got out of the carriage with gifts.
In front of the thatched cottage not far away, the bare fence was still entwined with vines that had suffered from the wind and frost in winter. A huge peach tree in the yard, sensing the call of spring, also bloomed little pink flowers here and there.
The middle-aged woman who was returning from feeding the chickens with a dustpan raised her eyes and saw Wang Yanzhou. She quickly put down her things and came to greet him: "Isn't this Yanzhou? Come on, come in and sit down. Your uncle has gone to meet the guests and will be back soon!"
