After He Shichen and Chu Qianli signed the contract, they lived peacefully at home for a while and did not tell their parents about it.

Yu Xin and He Zhenghe were unaware of the private contract between the two parties, nor were they aware of Chu Qianli's various little actions at school.

He Shichen usually turned a blind eye to Chu Qianli's outrageous behavior. He always felt that it was useless to complain to his parents, so he simply let it go. However, letting her do whatever she wanted did not work, and new troubles soon arose.

In the living room, He Shichen was slowly flipping through a book on the sofa when he suddenly heard the urgent ringing of the phone.

Aunt Li rushed out in a hurry. When she answered the phone, she politely replied, "Yes, yes, if it's express delivery, someone will deliver it to you... What? Okay, then."

He Shichen looked up suspiciously, only to see Aunt Li rushing out the door, not knowing where she was going after answering the phone.

Not long after, there was a noisy sound at the door of the villa. A group of strangers in uniform arrived, carrying huge packed boxes and gathered at the door in a mighty manner.

Aunt Li came back from outside in a hurry. She went to He Shichen embarrassedly, hoping that he could help her sign for the things she had sent.

"Oh, I originally said I would sign for it, but they insisted that someone from my family sign for it, otherwise they couldn't deliver the goods with confidence!" Aunt Li said with a headache.

He Shichen stood up in surprise: "What is it?"

"I don't know either. It looks quite big."

At the door, He Shichen looked at the well-trained group of people in uniform with suspicion. He took the receipt from the leader and asked hesitantly, "What are you delivering? Cash on delivery?"

He Shichen didn't understand why Aunt Li couldn't sign for him. He looked closely and found that it was not an ordinary courier, but a high-end organization that came to deliver the goods in person. He felt even more puzzled.

The delivery leader was very polite. He patiently explained: "It's either cash on delivery, which means you've already paid, or you need to confirm your identity when receiving the goods."

Aunt Li is not considered a member of the family, and the agency stipulates that she cannot collect the money on behalf of others.

He Shichen signed casually and handed the form back.

The leader looked down at the name and asked with a suspicious look on his face, "Is your last name He?"

"right."

"Sorry, wait a moment, I'll make a phone call to check, the recipient's surname is Chu." The leader took two steps to the side, he started to dial the number and check the recipient's information.

He Shichen understood immediately after hearing this. He hurriedly stopped her and whispered, "No need to call. The last name Chu is fine."

The delivery leader refused to listen to the explanation and insisted on verifying the information. I don't know who he called, but he finally put the goods down after confirming that it was correct.

Everyone moved the huge box to the yard with great difficulty and finally put the huge object away properly.

The delivery leader said considerately: "Where do you want to put it? We can help you move it before we leave."

He Shichen looked at the amazing package that had not yet been unpacked and asked in confusion, "What is this? A work of art?"

The group of people moved the boxes directly into the yard. It didn't look like they were something that could be placed indoors.

The delivery leader lowered his head to read the message, and answered seriously: "Huntian Zodiac Instrument."

He Shichen: “?”

As a top student, He Shichen had learned history quite well and knew that the Hun Tian Yi was an ancient astronomical observation instrument, which was quite consistent with Chu Qianli's nonsense.

He Shichen thought about the strict delivery process, frowned slightly, and asked, "Isn't this a cultural relic?"

The leader laughed and said, "Hahaha, you are such a joker. Of course it can't be a cultural relic."

He Shichen breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader continued, "We made a one-to-one replica of a historical artifact using gold. The ancient Huntian Zodiacal Instruments were all made of copper plated with gold, but this one is made of real gold, so of course it's different!"

He Shichen suddenly felt something was wrong and asked tentatively, "...gold?"

The leader nodded and said, "Yes, it is made entirely of gold, so we dare not deliver it casually."

Even if it is a Hun Tian Yi, its essence is still gold. If it is destroyed and stolen, it will be ruined.

He Shichen: “???”

"Where did she get so much money to buy this!?" He Shichen said in disbelief, then lowered his voice and said in a devastated realization, "Wait, it seems like I gave it to her..."

He Shichen has been learning practical skills from He Yuanyang, and has accumulated a considerable amount of savings over time. Even Yu Xin and He Zhenghe don't know the exact number.

He is a serious and rigid person. He despises the second-generation rich who spend money on sports cars. He believes that his own strength transcends all external forms and is certainly not a person who spends money lavishly. In a sense, his personality is closer to that of a first-generation rich who made his fortune from scratch, rather than a second-generation rich who relies on his family.

He Shichen didn't think much when he gave her the money. He was not the kind of person who spent money. He guessed that Chu Qianli would spend it lavishly, but he didn't expect her to buy this.

Others can buy luxury cars and drive them out to show off their wealth, but she puts a golden Hun Tianyi in the yard to attract thieves!

A moment later, Chu Qianli returned home happily. She was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by He Shichen.

In the living room, He Shichen waved at her and said expressionlessly, "Come here, let's talk."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Qianli jumped down from the stairs and walked over with curiosity on her face.

He Shichen pointed to the golden Hun Tianyi outside the window and said coldly, "Explain this to me."

"Ah, I almost forgot. He just called and said it was delivered!" Chu Qianli jumped out happily. She couldn't wait to open the French window and ran into the yard to observe Hun Tianyi.

"This is not the point at all!" He Shichen stood up angrily, followed her into the yard, and said angrily, "Why would you buy something like this!?"

He Shichen doesn't want to be a person who shows his emotions on his face, but her antics constantly refresh his perception. He doesn't know why she wants to buy it, nor does he know why it can be bought online. He feels that the popularity of online shopping has corrupted contemporary children.

Chu Qianli said pitifully, "Because it is the Huntian Zodiac Instrument?"

He Shichen: "So? Why can't you buy copper plated with gold, but must buy gold?"

Chu Qianli opened her arms, facing the Hun Tian Yi, and said in a vivid voice: "Brother, gold is the product of neutron star collisions. The explosion of former stars evolved into new stars, and these heavy elements remain on the earth. Using them to make the Hun Tian Yi is the ultimate romantic aesthetic. How can copper plated with gold compare to gold? Gold is the remains of past stars..."

He Shichen rubbed his temples with a headache and said calmly, "So you can measure more accurately with the gold one?"

Chu Qianli: "No, gold is soft, and may not be as good as copper-plated gold."

He Shichen: “…” Then what were you talking about just now?

Chu Qianli touched his chin and said, "I saw it that day but I wasn't sure if I had the money to buy it. Wow, I just paid and found that it could really be paid. I was quite surprised!"

He Shichen: “…………”

Chu Qianli's surprise was He Shichen's shock.

He Shichen now understood why Chu Qianli said that she couldn't keep money. If you gave her ten yuan, she could spend it all and live a good life. If you gave her one billion, she could also spend it all and live a good life.

Money is like a virtual number in Chu Qianli's mind. She doesn't care how many digits it is. She can live with it no matter how many digits it is. She has her own way of living in the village and in the He family.

He Shichen turned back to his room with a gloomy face. He was in no mood to scold her. He said in a voice as cold as cold water: "I will give you money once a year. You should just spend the living expenses your parents give you normally."

Chu Qianli was shocked: "Why!?"

"Because you lack the correct concept of consumption now." He Shichen sneered, "I'm afraid that if I give you money every month, you will buy a spaceship after a while and say that it is convenient to use it to watch the stars."

"You're overthinking it. The money I give you now can't buy a spaceship."

"…So you've really thought about this?"

“…”

He Shichen made up his mind and kept his word. He really stopped paying Chu Qianli on a monthly basis. He only told her the monthly income and said that he would pay her in full in one lump sum during the Chinese New Year.

Chu Qianli was forced to save money by the money printing machine, and became unhappy for a while.

In the class, Chu Qianli complained to her deskmate, and then complained: "Just tell me if this is too much!"

"Ah, this..." Tan Muxing hesitated to speak. He felt extremely guilty now, not knowing whether Chu Qianli or He Shichen was being excessive.

Although it is pitiful that Chu Qianli is restricted in her consumption, what she has done is indeed amazing.

Tan Muxing had heard of playboys buying sports cars to go to nightclubs, but had never heard of him spending a fortune to buy a Hun Tian Zodiac instrument.

She really doesn't have any bad intentions, but it's not quite right to say that she has good intentions.

Chu Qianli lay on the table and sobbed: "Wuwuwu, if this happens, I will have no money to spend normally..."

Tan Muxing said in a good-tempered manner: "No, you still have income from eating vegetables."

"No, that money is not enough. I just thought he would give it to me, so the fee for taking advantage of the situation is not high." Chu Qianli scrolled through the pages of his mobile phone in distress. "I also wanted to buy a golden sundial, and he just messed up my original plan!"

Chu Qianli's fees at school and online are not high, and no matter how much he sells, it is not as much as He Shichen's stock trading. Huangjin Huntianyi is mainly funded by the money printing machine.

"..." Tan Muxing is Chu Qianli's desk mate and friend, but for some reason he sympathizes with He Shichen.

Tan Muxing suggested: "You can buy it during the Chinese New Year?"

Chu Qianli looked worried: "What if someone buys it midway?"

Tan Muxing decisively dispelled her doubts and shook her head, saying, "No, a normal person would not buy this."

Tan Muxing had the same idea as He Shichen. He felt that buying the gold Hun Tianyi was useless, but he was soft-hearted and could only respect his deskmate's choice.

Chu Qianli started to roll around again, tossing and turning in her seat, fearing that the golden sundial would be bought.

Tan Muxing sighed and said, "What if I buy it for you?"

"No..." Chu Qianli lowered his head in frustration, then muttered softly, "We have no karmic relationship, so I can't take your things."

"Karma?"

"That's right, you have to pay back what you take. There is no such thing as free lunch."

There was nothing wrong with Chu Qianli giving Shichen the money. The essence of the relationship was that they had a karmic relationship. In other words, he owed her. Because of the misalignment of their identities, they had karma even though they were not related by blood.

"But I can tell your fortune and that'll be considered an exchange. You don't have to give it back!" Chu Qianli stood up excitedly, his eyes sparkling. "Is there anything you want to be told?"

Tan Muxing said awkwardly: "Sorry, no."

"Oh, by the way, you don't like to calculate this, so there is still no way..." Chu Qianli looked disappointed.

Since Tan Muxing rejects metaphysics, he can't get this back.

Tan Muxing thought for a moment and said cautiously, "How about we just go through the motions? I'll let you do the math?"

"It's useless. Even if you don't really want to settle it, you still have to pay it back in the end." Chu Qianli shrugged, "This mechanism is very strict. You can't get away with it."

Seeing her distress, Tan Muxing thought hard and said, "You charge based on the income of the person you are telling fortunes for, right? Then we can find some people with high incomes, so you can charge more and buy the golden sundial."

Chu Qianli was stunned: "That's not a problem, but there's no such person?"

Chu Qianli wanted to charge a sky-high fee for taking the vegetables, but the key was that the person asking for the vegetables had to be rich enough, and it was very difficult to find such a person.

Tan Muxing: "My father has a friend who wants to find someone to tell his fortune, why don't I go ask him?"

"Okay!" Chu Qianli agreed immediately, but she looked puzzled, "Ah, but how do you know that they want to calculate?"

"Well, I know it anyway..." Tan Muxing hesitated. He looked away guiltily and muttered hesitantly, "It shouldn't be considered as intercepting, right?"

As a wealthy young master, Tan Muxing has wealthy people around him, so it is easy for him to find high-income customers.

On the weekend, Chu Qianli followed Tan Muxing to a quiet teahouse. Looking at the well-dressed middle-aged man, she quickly understood her classmate's method of attracting customers.

Tan Muxing said amiably, "Uncle Jianping, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to find someone to do your fortune-telling? I went to ask for you."

He Jianping was originally sitting at the tea table. When he saw the two people coming upstairs, he stood up to greet them. Now he was surprised and asked, "Muxing, is this the master of Qianmen? He looks very young to me."

He Jianping is in his middle age. He has a little white hair on his temples but looks energetic. He sits on a chair with his back straight, looking very energetic like a businessman. He has recently encountered some minor troubles. Business people are a bit superstitious, so he wants to find someone who is proficient in fortune-telling to tell his fortune.

The most famous sect in the north is Qianshan, but it is not easy to find a master of Qianmen. The Tan family has some history with Qianmen, so He Jianping asked an old friend to ask. The Tan family had already rejected the matter, but Tan Muxing said that he had found a master.

To give an example, He Jianping asked someone to buy KFC for him, and Tan Muxing bought him McDonald's.

Chu Qianli was just taller than Tan Muxing's shoulders. She looked very childish and naive, and really didn't look like a master.

If it were any other time, He Jianping would welcome Tan Muxing to bring his friends to the teahouse, but he had important things to do now and felt that the two kids were just joking.

Of course, He Jianping did not blame Tan Muxing on the spot, but sat down with a stiff upper lip, intending to fool the two of them first. He simply explained the matter to Chu Qianli, thinking in his mind how to perfunctorily deal with the children and politely dispel their ideas.

Chu Qianli cast a divination on the spot, using the Fu Gua astrology method, and his wording was also different from that of the domestic numerology school.

He Jianping frowned when he heard this. He did not believe in foreign planets and constellations, but believed in Feng Shui and the I Ching.

Chu Qianli: "If you only look at the results, what you asked can come true, but it may not be what you think..."

He Jianping listened absentmindedly and didn't take her words to heart.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the stairs next to me, followed by a loud male voice: "Lao He, where are you? I found a master for you. He has used the six-line method to calculate your fortune and it is fine. Come out and listen!"

Chu Qianli and the others were all stunned; their conversation was abruptly interrupted.

The two men went up to the second floor and saw the three people were equally surprised. The leader muttered, "Hey, you have guests?"

"These are two young guests." He Jianping stood up immediately. He looked at Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing shyly and said politely, "Well, I'll chat with them first. You two can sit down and have some tea and snacks. There's a delicious hot pot restaurant across the street. We can go try it later."

Tan Muxing looked troubled: "Uncle Jianping..."

Tan Muxing was not good at speaking, but was very good at understanding emotions. He Jianping obviously treated them like children and didn't take Chu Qianli's gossip to heart at all.

Chu Qianli was silent for a moment. She didn't get angry when someone cut her off. Instead, she said softly, "Liu Yao is very accurate, but sometimes the process is more important than the result. You have to think clearly whether what you are asking is the same as what you want."

"That's quite a philosophical statement." He Jianping waved his hand to call people over and said casually, "I'll ask them to get you some fruit. You sit down for a while!"

He Jianping followed the two men who came later and left.

Tan Muxing immediately felt guilty, and he quickly comforted her, "It's not your problem, it's just that Uncle Jianping likes Yixue, and he usually looks for some fortune-telling masters in the country..."

Tan Muxing knew that Chu Qianli's predictions were accurate, but He Jianping only believed in Dongfang's.

"I understand, I understand. It's just that I used the wrong words!" Chu Qianli acted calmly in front of He Jianping, but her true colors were exposed in private. She said in annoyance, "If he had said earlier that he liked Eastern astrology, I would have explained it to him in classical Chinese. It's just the wrong words. Why is he so stubborn!?"

Chu Qianli originally used Western divination to make it easier for materialists to understand, but if He Jianping likes Eastern astrology, she can also use Eastern astrology to interpret the hexagrams. What she is studying is clearly the starry sky!

The divination plates of each school may be different, but they all have something in common and are almost the same if you look closely.

"The 'Seven Stars' in the Seven Stars and Four Remaining Stars are the sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire and earth. If he doesn't like to hear the Western divination, I will translate it into the sun, the moon, the white star, the year star, the morning star, the fire star, and the calming star!" Chu Qianli said in distress, "Could it be that he won't be able to do it if the question is changed to another one?"

Chu Qianli thought that her fortune telling was just a math problem, but she didn't expect to fail with Chinese and English.
