Chapter 52

Chen Ning just smiled the entire time. She was not anxious or impatient at all.

They waited until the sky turned dark and the people in the market slowly dispersed. Many of the vendors had already packed up their stalls and left.

She slowly stretched her waist and looked at Xiao Ru, "Girl, why do you have such a sad face?"

Xiao Ru pursed her lips and touched her empty purse as she said, "Young miss, you said you brought this servant out to earn money, but this servant hasn't seen a single copper coin. Instead, we've spent ten copper coins in vain. We don't even have money to eat buns anymore."

Chen Ning gave a laugh. She scratched Xiao Ru's nose and said, "Are you laughing at your young miss for not having the ability to earn money? Isn't it easy to earn money? Alright, then I'll show you my skills. "

Her eyes turned and fell onto a hurrying old man. She smiled at Xiao Ru and said, "Girl, our money for today's meal will depend on this person."

Xiao Ru followed Chen Ning's gaze and saw that it was an unfamiliar old man. She couldn't help shaking her head, not believing it at all.

Chen Ning stood up and walked in front of the old man. She cupped her hands with a smile, "Old uncle, you're blessed to have a child at such an old age. Congratulations, congratulations!"

The old man had a head full of white hair and was wearing a silk robe. He was around fifty-sixty years old and he was holding a basket in his hand. He was currently walking in a hurry, but he was suddenly stopped by Chen Ning. He couldn't help being stunned.

When he saw that Chen Ning was an unfamiliar girl that was not even twenty years old, the old man's face revealed an impatient look. He gave a perfunctory nod to Chen Ning and said, "Same to you, same to you."

He walked past Chen Ning and continued forward, not even looking back.

Xiao Ru saw that the young miss had been given the cold shoulder. She was afraid that she would be sad, so she prepared to comfort Chen Ning.

She saw the old man walk a few steps before suddenly turning around. He looked at Chen Ning and said in a doubtful voice, "Little girl, we don't know each other, how did you know that I had a child at such an old age?"

Chen Ning smiled as she pointed at the eight words on the table. She said with a smile, "My family has an ancestral art of fortune telling. There is no fortune telling people's fortune that doesn't work. When I saw old uncle from afar, your forehead was glowing and your face was red. I calculated that you just gave birth to a fat boy this year, isn't this a great fortune?"

The old man's eyes popped out and he had a face of disbelief, "You're saying that you calculated this for me?"

"Of course." Chen Ning smiled and nodded.

The old man was filled with doubt as he looked over Chen Ning. No matter how he looked at her, she did not seem like an expert fortune teller.

His impression of fortune-tellers was that they all wore long robes, had long beards, and looked unfathomable. There was no way they would be like this young and smiling girl in front of him.

"Uncle, if you're willing to listen, why don't you sit down and let me read your fortune for you? I'll help you predict the future of your fat son. How about that?"

Chen Ning looked at the old man's face and saw the doubt in his eyes.

She did not explain because the more she said, the more suspicious it would be. Her suggestion was what the old man was most concerned about. Which father in this world didn't want to know the fate of their precious son?

The old man nodded without even thinking, "Alright! Then you can help this old man read it. "
