Chapter 51

Ye Xian, hearing Tang Zhendong talk about the dowry in the room, couldn't help but feel a bit shy.

Ye Xian, though she didn't like her father's profession, thinking it was deceptive, she had to admit that if her father were to find a job after being laid off, it would be hard to not only treat her mother but also to support her tuition and living expenses. Even maintaining the family's daily meals would be a struggle.

Ye Xian's mother, Huang Xiuqin, had been sick for many years and hadn't worked. The household relied entirely on Old Ye.

Although Ye Xian had reservations about her father's profession, she was very grateful to him.

At first, Ye Xian couldn't stand Tang Zhendong, but after he showed his skills in treating her mother, she gradually began to pay attention to him. She slowly got to know him better, and with Old Ye often praising Tang Zhendong's miraculous healing of Old Li from the coal company during meals, Ye Xian truly felt that Tang Zhendong was a good person.

A young girl's heart always admires capable and handsome men, and coincidentally, Tang Zhendong met all these criteria. Apart from his somewhat rustic name, Ye Xian couldn't find any faults with him.

Additionally, Ye Xian discovered that Tang Zhendong was very smart and had an excellent memory.

Hearing Tang Zhendong talk about the dowry again made Ye Xian blush and her heart race. Wasn't it a bit too fast? She hadn't even graduated yet?

......

In the past few days, Tang Zhendong and Old Ye continued to wait for business in the small alley next to the train station. However, Old Ye's white cloth with the words "Mai Yi Shen Xiang" (Mai Yi Divine Fortune Teller) and the yin-yang symbol had been replaced by a large square cloth, with the text and yin-yang symbol in standard print.

Previously, Old Ye used a hand-drawn cloth, and the yin-yang symbol was also hand-drawn. Without a compass, Old Ye could only draw it by hand, so the yin-yang symbol was quite irregular. The circle looked more like an egg. However, this cloth, though not large, served as a sign to attract customers. Although it wasn't very noticeable, it basically fulfilled its purpose.

In the past few days, with the new large sign, Old Ye and Tang Zhendong, each sitting on a stool behind the sign, had a much higher回头率 (return rate) than before.

Previously, Old Ye sat here with a small cloth in front of him, which was not very noticeable. Many people wouldn't even see it if they weren't paying attention.

But this time, Old Ye and Tang Zhendong were very noticeable. Anyone passing by this road couldn't help but look at the old and young duo.

"Old Ye, isn't this sign I made pretty good?" This sign was made by Tang Zhendong at a nearby advertising shop in the newly built village. It cost thirty yuan to make, plus twenty yuan for the cloth, totaling fifty yuan. However, the effect was obvious, as the return rate had significantly increased.

"Haha, very good, very good. Young people are indeed quick-witted. Master is old, and this legacy will definitely be passed on to you, my good disciple. Work hard!"

Old Ye's tone changed, and Tang Zhendong knew that Old Ye must have seen someone interested in them. This person was likely coming directly to their fortune-telling stall, so Old Ye was putting on a dignified and wise appearance.

Without even looking back, Tang Zhendong immediately joined in, "Master, others may not understand your skills, but your disciple does. I still have a long way to go. If I could learn just half of your skills, I would be able to establish my own school. Master, you are truly a wise person who enjoys life, but most people are ordinary and cannot recognize a sage when they see one. Sigh." Tang Zhendong sighed deeply.

Old Ye smiled, stroking his not-so-long beard, and maintained a natural and dignified appearance, truly looking like a wise person.

Old Ye's gray beard, which he grew after entering the feng shui profession, though not long or completely white, added to his impression.

Tang Zhendong and Old Ye's cooperation was now extremely默契 (默契 means默契, which can be translated as "默契" or "默契" in English, but in this context, it means "默契" or "默契"). Old Ye's expression made Tang Zhendong even more certain that there was a big customer standing behind him. Otherwise, Old Ye's expression wouldn't have lasted so long.

"Master, you are a wise person, but I don't understand why you never show your true skills to shock the world. With your abilities, getting money should be easy, but why do you always eat vegetarian meals and live a simple life?" Tang Zhendong continued, "Oh, I understand. Master often says: even with a fortune, one can only sleep in a bed of one square meter and eat three meals a day. Over the years, the wealth you have given away must amount to several million, right?"

Old Ye still smiled, nodding, "Suffering is a blessing. Besides, what is loss and what is gain in this world? You must remember, money is an external thing."

"Disciple has learned. Thank you, Master, for your teachings. You always teach me how to be a person, no matter where or when." Tang Zhendong's attitude was very sincere. If Old Ye didn't know how smart Tang Zhendong was, he would have taken him as his true disciple just by seeing his sincere expression.

"Master, hello. Can Master look at the feng shui of a home?" A woman in her fifties, hearing their conversation come to a pause, stepped forward to ask.

"Oh, hello. Home feng shui is something a feng shui master must be proficient in." Old Ye still maintained his dignified smile.

Tang Zhendong turned around and saw that the woman was well-preserved, but her attire was adorned with jewelry. The gold bracelet on her wrist, about the thickness of a small finger, gleamed. At the current gold price of 350 yuan per gram, this bracelet alone weighed no less than 100 grams, worth over 30,000 yuan. It was clear she was a wealthy person, which was why Old Ye put on such a dignified appearance.

"Alright, Master, are you busy now? My home has encountered a strange problem. Can you come and help me look at it?"

Old Ye slowly stood up, maintaining a dignified and unhurried demeanor, "Of course. Removing illnesses and disasters, and resolving doubts, is our responsibility as feng shui masters."

However, Tang Zhendong knew why Old Ye was so slow: he was not young, and after sitting on the stool for a long time, his legs and blood circulation were stagnant, making it difficult to stand up quickly. He could only stand up slowly.

"Master, you are amazing. You immediately saw the problem with my home. Yes, my home is indeed plagued by illness and many unresolved doubts. Please come and take a look."

"Sure, let's go!"
