I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 319: Modesty is not her thing
But Dai Qing took this opportunity, grabbed her wrist, and with a little force, made her sit on the small stool opposite.

Being pressed on a stool, the old lady looked at Dai Qing with a pale face. Before she could speak, Dai Qing spoke first.

"It's the couple's business to decide whether to have a boy or a girl. It's better not to worry too much, otherwise it won't do you any good."

Dai Qing said, looking at the old lady's face.

"I see dark circles under your eyes, which indicates that you will be unlucky with your children. If it is for the sake of your children and grandchildren, you'd better let go and interfere less in their lives. Your family will be peaceful. Otherwise, there will be chaos and no peace."

As the saying goes, when there is a troublemaker in the family, life will not be peaceful.

This old lady was very strong-willed when she was young, and now that she is old she still wants to control her children's lives.

But now that the children have started their own families, they have their own lives. If the old lady interferes too much, it will only cause conflicts between the couple, disharmony in the family, and even poverty.

Sure enough, when the old lady listened to Dai Qing's explanation, her face turned dark and she looked angry.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Li's cough.

"Ahem~, old sister-in-law, listen to my advice, a harmonious family brings prosperity, and children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

The old lady's mouth trembled, and it took her a while to find her voice. She stood up suddenly and pointed at the two people's noses.
"Are you fortune tellers? I came here with money to seek an explanation, not to be taught by you."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at Dai Qing out of the corner of his eye, his expression calm, not affected at all.

Not bad, I can keep my composure and stick to the bottom line.

Just scold me.

"My sister-in-law already knows what's going on, why bother asking again?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then she snorted and stood up.

"If you didn't tell my fortune, I definitely wouldn't pay the money."

Seeing the old lady leave angrily, the pregnant woman next to her also looked unhappy. She looked at Dai Qing and was silent for a moment.
"Thank you little girl."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a little effort."

Dai Qing looked at her worried expression and couldn't help but comfort her.

"You just said that no matter if it's a boy or a girl, it's your child. Just relax and take good care of yourself. Remember, worrying too much is not good for the fetus."

"I know, but there's a lot of noise at home..."

She suddenly stopped talking halfway through and looked at Dai Qing with a red face. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, and she didn't know what happened. She couldn't help herself in the face of the little girl's concern.

He glanced at Dai Qing awkwardly and left in a hurry.

Looking at her back, Dai Qing shook her head helplessly and turned to look at Shen Xiangzi.
"What does Xiangshi Jiang think about the issue of having a boy or a girl?"

Listening to Dai Qing's question, Jiang Li looked at her quietly for a moment, with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Whether a boy or a girl is born is a fate created by the parents... Of course, these days, most families still prefer boys, who will become the pillars of the family when they grow up. On the other hand, daughters will be married off when they grow up."

"When a boy grows up, he becomes a new member of the family. When a girl grows up, there is one less person in the family. The common people have always believed that a family will prosper if the population is prosperous. That's all."

Listening to Jiang Li's analysis, Dai Qing nodded.

"Will Master Jiang favor boys over girls?"

“…I don’t have any children, so I can’t answer this question from your perspective.” Faced with Dai Qing’s question, Jiang Li was stunned for a moment and spoke softly.

But the smile in his eyes could not be concealed. The little girl was quite interesting.

"Although Taoism does not affect marriage and having children, I have been obsessed with physiognomy all my life and have never thought of getting married. Although I am alone, the Jiang School has also accepted several disciples, so I have a place to go."

After hearing this, Dai Qing looked up at the physiognomist lines on his face and couldn't help but speak.

"Every time a strategist goes down the mountain, he wants to show his ambition and prove what he has learned. After Jiang Xiangshi left the mountain, he kept lingering in the market. Why is that?"

Jiang Li: “…” The little girl’s eyes are quite sharp?
Seeing Jiang Li silent, Dai Qing looked at him for a moment and smiled awkwardly, "I just asked casually, don't take it to heart, Master Jiang."

Maybe I accidentally touched someone's privacy.

"My friend's physiognomy skills are not worse than mine, so why haven't you been recruited?" Jiang Li came to his senses and kicked the ball back.

"I don't discriminate between people when I read people's faces. Everyone who comes is a guest, and meeting is fate... But I like freedom and don't like being bound, so I won't be recruited by anyone."

This is her bottom line, there is nothing to hide.

Becoming a private fortune teller for a family or a force makes it difficult for her to stick to her bottom line, which goes against her principles as a human being.

Of course, up to now, she has not been favored by any force.

"...My friend is a clear-headed person." Although the idea is good, sometimes ideas and reality collide.

Once you are targeted, you cannot fight back with just belief.

"You are still young, but you are impressive. No wonder the old Taoist praised you so highly. You are indeed a young man to be feared."

The little girl in front of him was better than the several disciples he had accepted, both in terms of talent and courage.

I'm really curious about which hidden master created this girl?

Dai Qing smiled at Jiang Li's praise, but she was not modest. She aspired to be the best fortune teller, and modesty would be hypocritical.

"My grandfather once said that I was born to be a fortune teller."

Jiang Li: "..."

This girl is not humble at all.

However, the confidence and pride in this girl always made him feel inexplicably close to her.

Once upon a time, their Jiang school also produced such a talented person, but he was short-lived and was destroyed by the slander of those people.

The Jiang family has been stigmatized for half a century for no reason.

Suddenly, Dai Qing discovered that Jiang Li was emanating a hostile aura mixed with anger.

Why are you suddenly angry?

Did she say something she shouldn't have said, or did she accidentally poke his lung again?
"What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Li was stunned. He realized that he had revealed his emotions in front of a little girl. His body suddenly became stiff.

He looked a little annoyed.

Because of this, his father reminded him more than once to control his temper.

As a fortune teller, the worst thing to do is to have a bad temper and lose control of your emotions.

Sure enough, after so many years, he still lacked practice.

"Make the kids laugh."

Jiang Li calmed down for a while, then turned to look at Dai Qing. Her big eyes like black grapes were blinking at him, which made him even more embarrassed.

At your age, you are not as good as a young girl. How shameful.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone has secrets that cannot be touched, you and I are the same."

Dai Qing smiled gently, thinking of the knowledge about the Jiang School that Taoist Zhen had popularized to her, and she could vaguely guess some of it.

In fact, she was very curious about the genius fortune teller Jiang Tuo, but apparently, this name was a taboo in the Jiang School.

For a moment, neither of them spoke and the atmosphere was silent.
