Chapter 499: Marriage is just four words, it has nothing to do with love
After dinner at home, I took Xiaoyu for a stroll along Huaxi Lake, pushing her in a stroller. Xiaolin and Guihua talked as we walked.
People walking and riding bicycles constantly pass by on the lakeside avenue. After living here for several months, some people recognize me and say hello.
Sister Guihua said, "Mr. Wan, you have a good job. You know a lot of people. I still don't know anyone."
"Not knowing someone has its advantages. After living here for a long time, everyone will raise their hand when they see one. I rarely raise my hand."
Xiaolin said to Guihua's wife, "He likes to show off. How many people know him? It's hard to even name one. How could he say that?"
After walking for a while, a person came up to him and said in surprise, "Hey, Teacher Wan. Are you taking a walk too?"
I looked over and saw it was Principal Hu. I smiled at her and asked, "Which building do you live in?"
"It's the duplex behind the villa area. I was planning to come find you after my walk."
"Okay." I took a few steps, suddenly turned around, and called Principal Hu, who trotted over.
"You better send me a picture of your daughter's boyfriend."
Principal Hu said, "Okay. I'll send it to you right away."
We continued walking. Xiaolin asked, "Who is it?"
"A school principal."
Sister Guihua said, "The principal has a lot of power. I have a relative who is the principal of a middle school in Beijing, and all the directors and secretaries come to visit him."
I said to Sister Guihua, "You're telling the truth. If Principal Hu didn't need anything from me, she wouldn't have said hello to me. Look at the way she walked just now, she acted as if no one was around."
Xiao Lin said, "She asked you to read her fortune?"
I said, "Please ask me to be a matchmaker for her daughter. She is too beautiful to get married."
Sister Guihua asked, "Is it too much to ask?"
Xiao Lin winked at Sister Guihua: "He likes to joke. Don't believe him."
After a walk, I went home to make tea and opened my phone to look at photos.
This kind of face is a typical horse face, with clear lines, toughness and manliness.
But his cheeks were thin, his face was broad and his nose was long, his eyebrows were short and sparse, his mouth was wide and his lips were thin. In physiognomy, this is called a heartless face.
When they need something from you, they will do anything for you. But when you are no longer of any use to them, they will turn against you without mercy or loyalty.
At 7:15, Principal Hu came with her daughter. As soon as she entered the door, she began to reflect, saying that there were guests at home and she was sorry for being late. Then she said to her daughter, "Wan'er, this is Teacher Wan."
Wan'er smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Wan."
I said, "Sit down."
Principal Hu then explained Wan'er's situation: "She works in an office at a foreign company. We want her to teach or take the civil service exam. She's not interested."
I poured tea for her and her mother and took the opportunity to glance at Wan'er. She had big eyes, a high nose, and a particularly deep philtrum.
I smiled and said, "Your daughter looks like both mom and dad. She combines the best of both worlds."
Wan'er immediately said, "How am I like my father?"
"The philtrum is deep and straight."
Wan'er glanced at Principal Hu coquettishly: "Yeah, I said I look like my father, and Teacher Wan said the same thing."
Principal Hu asked, "Having a deep and straight philtrum is a sign of good fortune, right?"
"It looks especially good when it matches the facial features well and has the right proportions. For example, female celebrities like Liu Shishi, Angelababy, and Dilraba Dilmurat are all like this."
Wan'er was shocked: "Teacher Wan, are you so familiar with celebrities?"
I said, "For face reading, you have to study other people's appearances. There are many pictures of celebrities, so it is easier to study."
"Do you think I look like a celebrity?" Wan'er asked me, tilting her head.
That was exactly what I wanted. I wanted to lead her by the nose, so I said with a smile, "You have the qualities to be a star, but don't get involved in that circle."
Even Principal Hu was bewildered, wondering why I'd started with the philtrum. She thought I'd truly recognized her daughter's star potential, so she held her teacup, about to drink but not yet, and stared at me.
Wan'er was anxious and asked, "Why?"
I insisted on making her wait, slowly pouring myself a cup of tea, slowly picking it up, and slowly taking a sip. I waited until her eyes were wide open, then I said:
"You are too naive. That circle is very complicated."
Principal Hu immediately realized what was going on and said, "Teacher Wan, you've hit the nail on the head. She's good in every way, but she's incredibly simple."
Wan'er glanced at her mother and said, "What is simplicity? It means being passionate and unrestrained." After that, she opened her hands outward, making a gesture of embracing the world.
Principal Hu said, "You're not innocent enough to find a boyfriend like this."
Wan'er glared at her mother fiercely.
I said, "Wan'er, your mother is right. She really cares about you. You should be careful when choosing a boyfriend. We have a saying that goes, 'Men are afraid of choosing the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.'"
"Teacher Wan, did you think I married the wrong man just because of what my mother said?"
"Then tell me about your boyfriend. What potential qualities do you like about him?"
"First, he has to be handsome. My family is all good-looking, so I want to find a handsome one too."
I nodded. "No problem."
"Secondly, he understands me better than my parents. He knows what I'm thinking without me having to tell him. How wonderful is that."
I said, "Yes, if there is such a person, I would like him too."
"Third, he's good with computers, and I'm a bit clueless. He often helps me out."
I nodded again and said, "He is at least five years older than you, right?"
Wan'er asked, "How do you know?"
I said, "Let me analyze this for you. According to your mother, your boyfriend's family is from the countryside and their situation is very difficult."
"Yes. He lost his mother when he was seven."
Principal Hu was surprised: "Why didn't you tell us about this before?"
Wan'er felt a little aggrieved and said, "He just told me this morning."
Principal Hu didn't even look at his daughter. He turned his face away and sulked.
I said, "The more you know about the situation, the better. Based on my years of experience in this field, a person who loses his mother at a young age often has a strong sense of inferiority and a stubborn personality."
But your boyfriend is an exception. He is very outgoing and especially good at pleasing women. He can guess what you are thinking.
I can only say this to you: How many women does it take to raise such an outstanding man?
Principal Hu's eyes widened.
Wan'er didn't understand what I meant. She asked, "Teacher Wan, are you saying...?"
I said, "I can't explain it clearly right away, and I'm not talking about your boyfriend. I can only use metaphors to explain some phenomena."
For example, there is a guy named Jun Ge in our village. He also lost his mother when he was young, and after graduating from high school, he went to Guangdong. Because he was handsome, he worked as a waiter in a nightclub.
So he knows what brands of cars, wines, and clothes are considered high-end. As for what others are thinking, he can tell at a glance.
Why? Because he specializes in serving wealthy and outstanding women, and so many outstanding women have cultivated so many excellent qualities in him.
Principal Hu became increasingly angry as he listened, and sternly asked, "Have you investigated your boyfriend's past?"
Wan'er said confidently, "In his spare time, he works in a nightclub to supplement the family income. He has two younger brothers who need to go to school."
Principal Hu tried to hold back. If she hadn't been in my study, she would probably have slapped me.
I said, "Wan'er, I suggest you read a foreign novel called The Red and the Black to learn about the protagonist, Julien. After you finish reading the novel, compare it with the novel itself. Then think about it calmly."
Wan'er's mouth drooped as she said, "Who still reads novels these days?"
I have nothing to say. This is what Master once said: so-called physiognomy, fortune-telling, and divination are just reminders. Others have already formed their own opinions.
I didn't say anything, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold. Principal Hu said, "Thank you, Teacher Wan. How much is it for keeping you busy for an afternoon and evening?"
"one thousand."
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I'll transfer it to you now."
After they left, I took out a cigarette and smoked it slowly. When I was done, I put it out and went upstairs to sleep.
When we got to the living room, Xiaolin saw that I was unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"
I told Xiaolin about the situation.
She said, "According to your theory, her friend is heartless and ungrateful, and no one would be happy with him, so why doesn't he want to get married?"
I gave a wry smile. "I never said 'No one would be happy with him.' You forced it on me. In this world, there's always someone better. I just think Wan'er isn't right for him."
The real love in this world is before marriage. Marriage is called marriage.
Marriage is just about compatibility. Love is secondary.
Xiaolin sat there, looking at me in surprise. I went into the bathroom to wash up, leaving her alone in the living room with her thoughts.
