Chapter 81: The Young Man Selling at the Stall [2]

  Everyone who was paying attention to this side of things were all feeling unhappy. They thought that they might also need to come up with something special, make some strange flags to attract people over. Maybe tomorrow it would be their turn to earn these five taels, and still have no costs.

  What's the big deal about fortune-telling, it's just a matter of moving your lips!

  "Please write your name and eight characters of birth date!" The young man took out a red paper with pen and ink attached.

  The young master furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then wrote down his own name and the eight characters of his birthdate!

  "You were born into a noble family, with both parents alive, your father is a high-ranking official, and your mother is not simple either. You should be extremely wealthy, and you have an older brother and a younger sister!"

  When the young man said these words, a hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, it was clear that everything he said was right, but soon a look of understanding appeared, followed by a slightly disdainful expression.

  "Although you were born into an official family, you like to practice martial arts and will have a good career in the military! Your marriage will appear soon, as for your children, you will definitely have a son before the age of 23! And then there will be..."

  "Fart!!" The young master slapped his hand on the table and burst into anger.

  "Nobody farted, don't interrupt!" The young man frowned and then continued.

  ...The crowd fell silent once again.

  "You're talking nonsense!" the young master shouted angrily.

  "No, I'd admit it if I did, but since I didn't, how can I admit it? Alright, now listen to me without interrupting!" the young man said calmly.

  “……”?

  "Haha, you're really interesting, he said you're talking nonsense and farting!!" Xiao Ai laughed again, adding some sound to this originally silent scene.

  "Oh, so you didn't believe me. Actually, whether or not you believe it is up to you. I've taken the money, so I'll tell you what I have to say. These are all direct quotes from the book, there might be some slight differences, but they shouldn't be too great." The young man said calmly.

  From start to finish, the young man's tone and attitude were always so calm, even his reactions were a bit too calm, making people feel a bit dull, but maybe it was just because he didn't think about it at all.

  "Judging from the book, it seems you haven't read it thoroughly!" The young master said coldly.

  "I've already read through it!" The young man replied calmly.

  "It's definitely not because what you said is completely inaccurate. Although the previous ones were accurate, this matter everyone knows about, just ask the people around you and they can tell you my situation!!"

  The middle-aged uncle on the side nodded at this time, and the young master in front of him was a legendary figure. There were not many people here who didn't know about it, and to find out, it wasn't very difficult, it could even be said that it was too easy!!!

  "And the words after that, are all nonsense!! I had a son before I was 23, aren't you joking?! How old am I now, didn't I just give you my birth date, can't you calculate it?!" The young master said coldly.

  "This year you're twenty-three years old and two months!" said the young man.

  “……”?

  At this time, even if you don't understand the situation, you can see that what the young man said has already happened, and since the young master says it didn't happen, it means that things are no longer certain!!!

  "What about my son? How could I not know that I have another son!!" The young master sneered, his smile full of mockery.

  "You don't know about it, doesn't mean it's not true!" At this time, the young master wanted to say something, but the youth waved his hand and interrupted: "Alright, since you don't believe me, then I won't say anything unimportant. You can keep your five taels of silver, but your fate is sealed - today will be a day of bloodshed!"

  "Haha, I've heard this saying many times, and many people have said that my temples are black, and there will be a bloody disaster soon, just like you! But those people are all scammers!!" The young master laughed loudly, the sarcasm in his eyes was self-evident, and it couldn't be more obvious.

  "I'm not a liar, and I said today, not recently!!" The young man said calmly.

  "Haha, today, just wait and see, I'll take a look at the remaining two or three hours to see what happens, can make me have a bloody disaster!! Tomorrow, I hope you're still here!!" The young master said coldly.

  "I'll be here tomorrow too, I'll be here for the next few days!" The young man replied casually, "If there's nothing wrong with the guests, then I won't see you off!!"

  The young man made a request and then began to read his book. At this time, people with sharp eyes found that the book in the young man's hand seemed to be a book about architecture. Is it possible that he also has talent in this area? Or will he design houses in the future?

  Everyone's mouth corners curled up with a sneer, they wouldn't believe that this young man could master it, what they believed was that this young man would probably use it to deceive people.

  Xiao Ai paused for a moment, feeling somewhat perplexed in her heart. She thought the book in the young man's hand looked familiar, but she couldn't quite recall where she had seen it before. Yet, she felt that as soon as she figured it out, she would discover something.

  But she just can't figure it out and doesn't know what kind of thing she will discover!!!

  Like that, Xiao Ai and those young masters and ladies all left. When they were leaving, some of the young masters and ladies couldn't help but mock that youth, but he was very calm and completely ignored their actions.

  "Little brother, you'd better hurry up and leave now. You've already earned five taels of silver, that's enough! These young masters and misses may not be the kind who act recklessly and bully others, but they're not easy to mess with either. Tomorrow they'll definitely come looking for you to settle accounts, and by then your five taels of silver will be gone, and you might even get into trouble!" The middle-aged uncle said to the young man after he had walked away.

  "No need, I just speak directly from the book. If it's wrong, then there's nothing that can be done! It can only be blamed on my lack of skill. They can smash my signboard and ask for a refund." The young man said nonchalantly.

  "...The middle-aged uncle was a bit speechless, this young man did business too personally, he must be some rich kid just playing around, absolutely not really here to do business."

  The next evening, the young man came to set up his stall again. As usual, he shouted a slogan and sat down to read a book without doing anything else.

  "You really came!" The middle-aged uncle said he thought it was possible, but when it was truly in front of him, he still felt a bit surprised.

  "Uh-huh, just a few more days, nothing's going on, so I'll continue." The young man replied, lifting his head, then lowering it again to read his book. Although it was evening, the lamps were shining brightly.

  The middle-aged uncle sometimes suspects that the young man beside him may have come here just to read books because of the bright lights.

  This middle-aged uncle really guessed it right, there is indeed such a reason!!!

  Time flew by for half an hour, and the middle-aged uncle sold over a dozen pounds of nuts, while the young man's business was still zero. The middle-aged uncle kept looking at the young man with some concern.

  However, what he was worried about wasn't the young man's business volume. The five taels from yesterday were enough for him to sell nuts for a month. What he was worried about was that because of those five taels, the young master from yesterday would come and ask for them back, would smash his signboard, and most worryingly, would beat people up.

  I hope you won't come, five taels of silver is a lot for us ordinary people, but it's not much for that young master, maybe just a drop in the bucket, I hope that young master won't mind.

  The young man on the side continued to read his book, completely unaware that the middle-aged uncle next to him was still worried about himself. He even bought a pack of almonds and put them in his mouth, crunching away.

  "He's here!!" The middle-aged uncle suddenly said, his face a bit tense.

  He saw that group of young masters and misses from yesterday appear again, with even more people than yesterday, walking towards this side in a mighty manner, which made the middle-aged uncle feel that things were getting troublesome.

  At this time, the middle-aged uncle didn't dare to be too obvious, and just whispered: "Little brother..."?

  "What?! The young man looked up at the tense uncle with a bit of puzzlement, but soon he understood what the middle-aged uncle was going to say, because he had already seen that group of young masters and ladies."

  Looking at this group of young masters and ladies coming over with an air of momentum, the young man's expression was very calm, but others were not so calm, they all felt that something was going to happen.

  Some people are happy, some people worry. The happy ones can basically be explained by schadenfreude, they want to see the excitement, want to see someone making trouble and smashing stalls, and such people account for the vast majority.

  A few people still have a conscience, worrying that the young man was bullied too much. Encountering such a group of young masters and ladies, each one here is very influential in this new moon imperial capital. Therefore, don't mention so many coming together, even if there's only one, it's not something the young man in front can handle.

  Just as everyone was waiting for the next development, waiting for what they thought should happen to happen, the direction of events took a shocking turn that left them all speechless. This was an outcome they had never anticipated.

  All of a sudden, the young master who had his fortune told yesterday appeared in front of the youth, clenching his fists. These were still somewhat consistent with everyone's guesses, but what followed was different. The young master did not clench his fists to smash the stall, but instead lowered his head and said: "Sorry, sir, I wrongly accused you yesterday!"

  What?!

  What is he saying, is he apologizing? And still addressing that young man as "sir"?

  The onlookers were momentarily bewildered, unable to make out what had happened, but soon understood that since the young master had apologized, it meant that everything the youth had calculated yesterday was correct.

  It's just that this matter seems a bit inconceivable, yesterday the young man calculated that this young master has a son, and there is also a bloody disaster. The bloody disaster is easy to say, after all, it may happen later, but how can one explain having a son?

  That young master doesn't know, it should mean he has no talent, right? There are very few people who don't even know their own son.
