One touch and one silence

Liu Yue drove the carriage and stopped at the door of a clothing store. He went in, bought some things and came out soon.

Then he continued driving out of the city.

Nanzhi opened the bag that Liuyue had just brought and took a look. It contained a black robe, and she realized that it was the clothes for disguise.

When the two arrived at Qian'an Temple, Liu Yue parked the carriage in a secluded place, picked up another bag in the carriage, and smeared it directly on Nanzhi's face, even her neck and hands.

Half an hour later, Nanzhi touched the big wrinkles on his face and the age spots on the back of his hands, and exclaimed in amazement.

Nanzhi got off the car happily. When she got off, Liuyue also got off. At this time, Liuyue had become a little disciple beside the Taoist priest, and even the sword he had been holding in his hand was thrown aside.

Nanzhi looked at Liuyue. Her makeup and clothes were fine, except for her eyes.

"Master Liu Yue, please change your expression. Don't be so cold."

After saying that, Nanzhi walked out with his head held high, bought a foot-long white cloth from the roadside, and wrote two big words on it: fortune telling!

Nanzhi randomly found a place and asked Liuyue to rent a table and two chairs from a tea stall. He spread a white cloth with the words "fortune-telling" written on it on the table. The two words "fortune-telling" were written vertically on the table so that people could see the two big words at a glance.

"Now we just have to wait for that stupid bird to show up."

"Uh! Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. It's a guest, a guest!"

Nanzhi smiled naively, and Liuyue's mouth twitched. There was nothing good in what this master said.

She sat leisurely in the chair, looking relaxed and contented, not in a hurry at all.

Nanzhi sat there for the entire morning. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, Nanzhi sighed.

"Hey! I didn't make a cent today, but I spent dozens of taels of silver. Xiao Yueyue, do you think I lost money?"

Liu Yue rolled her eyes and didn't look at Nanzhi.

Who knew that Liu Yue's action of rolling her eyes was seen by a passerby, who found it interesting.

The man walked forward and looked at Nanzhi's small appearance, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Hey, which Taoist temple are you from? Why are you setting up a stall here?"

"Your disciple is so cute. How dare he roll his eyes at you? Aren't you angry?"

When Nanzhi saw someone coming, she immediately smiled without caring what the person did.

"Hey! My disciple is lively and active by nature. As an old Taoist, I am too lazy to restrain his temper."

"The customer wants to have his fortune told. If it's not right, you don't have to pay!"

Nanzhi's last sentence actually aroused some interest among the visitors. "Oh! Really?"

"Of course it's true. Taoist Priest, I never lie."

The man became more interested and sat down opposite Nanzhi.

"How did you calculate it, sir? How much does it cost per divination?"

There was a hint of smile on the visitor's face.

"Just pay as the customer sees fit. Today is the first day of business, so just do as you please."

"Come on, come on, please extend your hand!"

Liu Yue just stood aside, quietly watching his master fooling others.

The man followed Nanzhi's words and stretched out his hand. Nanzhi pinched half of the man's palm and carefully observed the lines on the man's hand.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Sir, great joy!"

The man didn't understand why he was so happy, and thought to himself that this guy seemed to be similar to other scammers.

It's either a disaster or a joy, and then you have to give a reward.

He was tired of hearing it.

"Oh! Taoist priest, please tell me, why am I so happy?"

Nanzhi took a look at the malicious look in the man's eyes and knew in her heart that this guy had been cheated many times and thought that he was also a liar, so he wanted to find something to hold against him?

"Mr.'s wife has been pregnant for more than a month, and this baby must be a boy."

When the man heard Nanzhi's words, he stood up in surprise and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Do you think the Taoist priest looks like a liar?"

The man blurted out without hesitation, "Very similar."

Nanzhi:……

Nanzhi frowned. If it weren’t for the fact that this guy was a good person, she really wanted to kick him out.

The man also felt that he had said something wrong. His face turned red and he apologized to Nanzhi embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I've been deceived many times. It was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."

After the man finished speaking, he took out a fifty-liang silver note and handed it to Nanzhi.

"I hope you won't blame me, sir."

Nanzhi didn't even look at the fifty-liang silver note, thinking that this person still didn't believe in him.

Then he said to Chen Jin, "Your name is Chen Jin, right? You are twenty-four this year. After giving birth to three daughters, you haven't been pregnant for nearly ten years. Even though you have taken in many concubines and kept many mistresses, right?"

The more Chen Jin listened, the more his doubts dissipated. Very few people knew about his mistress, not even his parents.

I originally went with her because I heard from others that she was good at giving birth. But who would have thought that after half a year, she hasn't even conceived a baby.

That's why he came here today, hoping to get a good fortune.

Who knew that he drew a good fortune, but the fortune message was not good, saying something like "all empty and useless", which made him happy for nothing.

"The Taoist priest is right. Is this pregnancy safe?" This is what Chen Jin is most worried about.

Nanzhi shook her head.

"What should I do, old sir? I can't let the Chen family be cut off from me!"

Chen Jin had a sad face and begged Nanzhi to help him.

"It's not impossible. Your wife's pregnancy this time is extremely dangerous, and your family is not at peace. You don't care about your three daughters, which is unworthy of a father. So this child is an opportunity given to you by God, but also a punishment for you. It depends on whether you can seize it."

Nanzhi kept the secret and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jin knelt on the ground and begged Nanzhi: "Master, please give me some advice!"

"Get up, get up, what are you talking about!"

"Your wife must be careful during the first three months of pregnancy. If she can survive the first three months, the pregnancy will be safe. The only thing left is the day of birth. As long as she passes these two stages, the child can stay in your Chen family."

"When you return home, first find a gynecologist or an experienced nanny to keep an eye on your wife at all times."

"Second, be nice to your three daughters. Otherwise, if that child sees you in heaven and ignores his three sisters, he might think that your Chen family's tradition is bad and leave your Chen family. Then you might not have a son in your life."

"Not only do you have to be good to those three daughters, but your family as well. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember every word the old gentleman said in my heart and dare not forget it for a moment."

After Chen Jin finished speaking, he took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his pocket and placed it on Nanzhi's table.

"Go! I'm sure your wife already knows that she's pregnant by now."

Chen Jin left Nanzhi's stall with many thanks.

Liu Yue looked at her master, wondering why she would ask that person to treat his daughter well.
