At 5:30 in the morning, Lin Qingyin appeared next to the old tree in the Public Park on time. At this time, there were already many uncles and aunts sitting near the old tree. Even Aunt Zhang, who was convinced that Lin Qingyin was a liar at first, came to join in the fun.

Aunt Zhang and Grandma Jiang have been good friends for many years. No one knows the situation of the Jiang family better than her. However, after that day, it only took a few days, and then the Jiang Family flourish again. Aunt Zhang started to question her heart. Could it be that this little girl has some skills?

Out of curiosity about Lin Qingyin, Aunt Zhang couldn’t help but join the crowd. Fortune-telling was not cheap, but it doesn’t cost money to watch the bustle. If she gets one or two things right, then it can be said that it was just a coincidence, but if she gets everything accurately, then she really has skills.

Aunt Zhang watched Lin Qingyin sitting cross-legged under the old tree. She was really puzzled. She couldn’t understand how can such a young girl engaged herself in this kind of business?

After Lin Qingyin sat down, she grabbed small stones to form an array. Fatty Wang had seen Lin Qingyin use stones to form an array in the Jiang Family’s house. Seeing this, he asked the uncles and aunts to withdraw a bit from the place, and then put his chair in front of Lin Qingyin. This chair was for the customers.

Lin Qingyin threw out the stones in the hand as if she was just playing, but each stone fell exactly where she wanted. Seeing Fatty Wang’s face full of sweat, and the uncles and aunts constantly fanning fans, Lin Qingyin also included Fatty Wang’s place and the empty chair in front of her in the array.

When Lin Qingyin threw out the last stone, Fatty Wang immediately felt that the heat in the air had dropped, and the cool breeze passed by, making him very comfortable. Fatty Wang looked at Lin Qingyin and wanted to give her a hug. For a fat man, there was nothing that could make them happier than feeling the cold breeze blowing outside in summer!

After feeling refreshed, Fatty Wang started working and took out a piece of crumpled paper on his pocket, then said aloud: “No. 1, Wang Shufen.”

“It’s me, me, me, me!” An Aunt who had looked at Lin Qingyin for a long time rushed over at a speed that was completely inconsistent with her posture. She sat down on the chair and looked the crowd around her shyly, then said in a low voice: “Master, I have something I can’t make up my mind.”

Lin Qingyin handed her a pen and paper: “Write a word.”

It was Aunt Wang’s first time to ask for divination, she didn’t quite understand her meaning. A knowledgeable person next to her told her: “Think of a word and write it on the paper. The master can guess what you want to ask based on  your written words.”

Aunt Wang took the pen with a muddled head, she didn’t know what to write. She subconsciously wrote a common and simple word “Heaven”.

Lin Qingyin looked at the word and looked at the face of Aunt Wang: “Your husband has been dead for 5 to 6 years now?”

Aunt Wang’s eyes widened: “This year is the sixth year.” Thinking of her husband who passed away, Aunt Wang sighed a little: “He has no luck. After working for a long time and brought up his children, he left me alone. To be honest, I don’t know how did I survive these first 2 to 3 years. My children work in other places, I am alone all day and night. Only these recent years, I came out when I join a dance and mountain climbing club.”

Lin Qingyin’s finger tapped the word “Heaven”, then said: “Heaven, two people, forming pairs, as if paired by heaven.” Lin Qingyin looked at Aunt Wang with brimming eyes: “What you want to ask today is about your marriage.”

The onlookers all kindly smiled. Aunt Wang turned back and waved her hand a little embarrassedly: “Both sides, don’t make a fuss, or I won’t let you listen.”

The old neighbors shut their mouths immediately, and Lin Qingyin smiled: “Did you bring the two of your’s eight characters?”

“Yes, I have!” Aunt Wang took out a note and handed it to Lin Qingyin, with a bit of anxiety on her face and expectation: “In fact, I haven’t told my children. I wanted to know first if it will work. If so, I’ll ask my children’s opinion. If not, I will not bother with it, and worry my children.”

Lin Qingyin looked at the eight characters in front of her and directly said without beating the bush: “Heaven and earth are a good pair. The five elements of Yin and Yang are also matched. It is a good marriage. Your woman’s chamber is facing the sun, and there are two beads, meaning there is a late blessing. You don’t need to worry about the opposition of your children.” Lin Qingyin said while writing a series of dates under the two eight characters: “August 16 this year is a good day for happy events, which is exactly the same as your eight characters.”

Aunt Wang couldn’t close her lips from smiling. She gladly took out a thousand yuan, and handed it over: “I’ll go home and call my children. If the happy event is settled, I will ask the little master to drink wedding wine.”

Lin Qingyin nodded with a smile: “Okay, I’ll go and wish you happiness.”

Aunt Wang hummed a song in satisfaction and walked away. The people who watched the whole scene looked at Lin Qingyin with brimming eyes. After writing a simple word, the Little Master saw so many things, it was simply amazing.

The second person who came for divination was an old man with the surname Li. He seemed to want to grab the fortune of Aunt Wang. He didn’t say anything and just wrote the word “Heaven” directly on the paper. Seeing the lively aunts next to him, he couldn’t help but said with a smile: “I also want to ask about a happy event, if it’s a good marriage.”

Everyone around him laughed, and then listened to Lin Qingyin’s unhurried inquiries: “Is this for your son’s marriage?”

Uncle Li glanced at Lin Qingyin: “How can you tell that I am not asking for myself?”

Lin Qingyin smiled: “From your appearance, you and your wife have a good relationship, and you both are in good health. Do you still want to ask for yourself? Aren’t you afraid that your wife beat you with a broom?”

Someone who knew Uncle Li suddenly burst into laughter. Many people knew that Uncle Li’s wife was very straightforward but also had a short temper. Uncle Li has been beaten by his wife these recent years.

Seeing Lin Qingyin had seen through his mind at a glance and figured out that he had a son. He was very convinced of her and quickly wrote his son’s eight characters: “I want to ask about my son. To tell the truth, my son had a blind date last month. I saw the little girl is well-behaved, so I wanted them to settle the marriage as soon as possible. Please help me to see if the two are destined to be together.”
