When she saw the clean and tidy bamboo mat under the grape trellis, Deng Lan felt calmer. She actually felt as if she was not in the bustling city center, but in a mountain forest.
Wei Mian took off his shoes first, sat cross-legged on the cushion, made a gesture of invitation to Deng Lan, and turned to pour tea.
Deng Lan, with some curiosity, followed Wei Mian's example and sat on the futon.
She had seen it when she came. The place was surrounded by greenery and there were almost no people. This small world was surrounded by grape trellises on three sides, with only one side for people to enter and exit, giving it a very private feeling.
This made her feel a lot more relaxed. Looking at the clear tea handed to her, Deng Lan suddenly wanted to speak.
"Master, actually I'm not going to tell fortunes for myself today. I want to tell fortunes for my sister and her marriage fate."
Before Wei Mian could ask what it was, she had already told him everything.
Deng Lan had been holding it in for too long. She didn't know who to tell about this matter. She was afraid that her friends and colleagues would have the same idea as her parents and think that she was jealous of Deng Qian and couldn't stand her being better than she was.
Wei Mian said nothing after hearing this.
Judging from his facial features, Deng Lan is honest and has deep feelings for his sister. He is not a jealous person.
"Do you have the birth dates of your sister and the other person?"
"have!"
After saying that, Deng Lan handed over a piece of paper. This was something she had specially copied from her sister's marriage certificate. The two of them wanted their engagement to be in a Chinese style, so she prepared this thing.
Wei Mian only glanced at them and laughed before he even started calculating. "There's no need to calculate the horoscopes. These two people's zodiac signs are just not compatible."
Deng Lan was stunned. "What?"
"Your sister was born in the Bingzi year, which means she is a rat, and your brother-in-law was born in the Gengwu year, which means he is a horse. People with a rat sign shouldn't marry someone with a horse sign."
Wei Mian took a sip of tea and then slowly said, "If you don't become wealthy, disasters will come one after another. You may not be able to establish a family or career, or you may not live long. There will be many evil spirits, and you may even be separated from your family and ruin your family."
No explanation was needed; the meaning was clear from the literal meaning. Thinking of how much Deng Qian cared about this marriage, Deng Lan asked uncertainly, "Master, can you take another look at my horoscope? Or my face? Is there any way to resolve this?"
As she spoke, Deng Lan pulled out a photo of the two of them from her phone. It was a group photo, probably taken at a scenic spot, and both of them were wearing masks.
Just showing the eyebrows and eyes is enough for her to see.
Deng Lan stared at Wei Mian intently, but there was no sign of abnormality on her face.
Wei Mian's gaze fell on the two people's horoscopes. After a moment, she sighed softly and looked up at Deng Lan. "Your sister's horoscope is unlucky, indicating a short life. She will die within five years of marriage, and she will die at the hands of her husband."
"As for your brother-in-law, he has prominent brow bones and a small distance between his eyebrows. Even though he's wearing a mask, you can still see his prominent cheekbones. This is the typical facial features of a murderer. He is also very suspicious and has a tendency towards violence. After marriage, he often beats and scolds your sister. This should be apparent by now."
Deng Lan couldn't help but cover her mouth, her face filled with horror. "How, how is this possible?"
Wei Mian lowered his eyes and said nothing. Nothing is impossible in this world. Deng Qian is also a vain person. Since the other party's character has been exposed before marriage, a normal person will definitely leave quickly and cut the loss in time, wishing that they will have nothing to do with each other in the future.
But there are also some abnormal people who always think that they are willing to give men another chance as long as they have promised that they will never do it again, or if they get material compensation.
Then next time they will go a little further and give more compensation, thus falling into a vicious cycle.
It is almost equivalent to exchanging violence for benefits.
Her repeated tolerance and forgiveness only resulted in the man becoming more and more aggressive. In this kind of relationship, unless one of them leaves the other, the death of one of them is inevitable.
Wei Mian had met a man in the park before, and that man’s daughter had encountered a similar thing abroad, but that man was different from Deng Qian.
The other person was forced to suffer domestic violence unwillingly, while Deng Qian did it voluntarily. The two are different in nature. Wei Mian said this and had no intention of interfering too much.
The key is that she has foreseen that even if Deng Lan intervenes, their marriage may have some twists and turns, but they will still get married in the end, and the things that follow will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time.
When Deng Lan, who was distracted, left, the two Zheng brothers happened to arrive.
“Boss!”
Zheng Hao smiled brightly at Wei Mian with his big white teeth.
"Please come in. What brings you here? Are you done with your family matters?"
This was not Zheng Hao's first time in the small building. He had gone in once before with Zheng Kaiyuan, but he didn't have much chance to look around.
In fact, Zheng Hao had long been curious about this legendary haunted courtyard, but his grandfather came over once and then returned home with a grim look on his face, telling the other younger generations of the Zheng family not to get close to it.
Zheng Hao was quite obedient. Even if he was curious, he would not come over to see unless the old man agreed.
Wei Mian let him walk by himself and took Zheng Heng to the living room.
Niu Jingyi had met Zheng Heng before, and since she knew that he was also in this line of work, she served him some tea without any embarrassment.
Ordinary tea is for Zheng Heng, and fruit tea is for Wei Mian.
After seeing this, Wei Mian gave her a thumbs up and then happily picked up the fruit tea.
"Uh," Zheng Heng was a little unsure what to call Wei Mian.
If I call him fellow Taoist, it's like calling him my own father, but if I call him master, it's too formal. I can't call him big brother like that idiot at home.
Wei Mian saw his dilemma, so he said sympathetically, "My, uh, ancestor and your ancestor had the same master. We can be considered to be from the same school, but there is a slight difference in seniority. You have to call me Uncle Master."
Ancestor.
Wei Mian thought about it and swallowed the last word to avoid scaring the other person to death.
"Uncle Wei."
Zheng Heng called out without any hesitation. Taoism emphasizes inheritance, and it is very common for uncles or even great-uncle masters to be young. Some people are young but of high seniority.
There was no need to lie to him about Wei Mian's strength. When her soul left her body, her father said that she recognized the Soul-Calming Jade at first sight.
Wei Mian nodded in satisfaction. He searched his body but couldn't find any gift for the younger generation, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zheng Heng hurriedly said, "Master-uncle has already given me a lot of high-level talismans when he saved me before. How can I let you spend money now?"
Wei Mian waved his hand, "Let's put it this way."
If she were still in Zhengyang Sect, when her senior brother got married and had children, she would definitely send a gift to her nephew, regardless of his status, just as a token of her appreciation as an elder.
Wei Mian thought for a moment, said "You wait", and hurried upstairs. After a while, he ran down again and handed over a brocade box.
"This is for you—"
Zheng Heng was about to stretch out his hands to take it when he suddenly heard a sharp scream.
"Ah—Boss, I want one too!"
