------------

  Actually, Xiang Tianliang's gesture had a specific meaning, it was agreed upon with Li Yajuan and Ye Nan beforehand.

  As expected, Ye Nian understood tacitly. As soon as the four of them stepped out of the elevator, she apologized to Wang Zigui and said that she had forgotten to take the car key, turned around and went back into the elevator again.

  She wants to make a phone call to the antique market over there to send a signal, otherwise this play will be sung out and the flavor won't be strong enough.

  Toward the bright five uncle is indeed in the antique market, but not to set up a stall, setting up a stall is just a humble name for their line of work. Generally, those who have made a name for themselves no longer need to go out on the street, but instead switch to sitting at home, and customers will come one after another.

  Xiang Yunqiu has some reputation, comes to Qinghe once a month, stays for ten days, and doesn't stay one more day. He earns money without arousing the jealousy of his fellow Taoists in Qinghe.

  Ye Nan drove to Antique Street, turned into a small alley, and after seven twists and turns, finally stopped in front of the gate of an old mansion.

  Wow, there were already 7 or 8 cars parked in front of the door, and at a glance, they were all imported.

  Wang Zi Gui Xin said, "Everyone who comes is a character, this Old Fifth of the Zhao family, business is quite good."

  In the courtyard, it was quiet and still, with only a young man in his twenties standing there. When he saw Xiang Tianliang, he immediately came up to him and said respectfully: "Hello, older brother."

  He raised his hands to the sky, counted to ten on his fingers, waved his hand, and didn't even open his mouth.

  A group of people entered the main hall, but saw that there were over a dozen people sitting inside, all silent as if dumb, looking solemn and stern.

  On the right side, eight taishi chairs were arranged, with six people sitting on them. Each of them was sitting upright and solemnly, without a smile on their faces. At first glance, it was clear that they were all masters of physiognomy. Wang Zigui whispered to Tian Liang, "These people are all physiognomists from various places who have come to pay respects to Fifth Uncle."

  On the left, two rows of four long wooden chairs were sat with over a dozen people, including both men and women. Some wore suits, some carried briefcases, some held pagers, and others had beepers on their belts. These people should be the "breadwinners" of the matchmakers.

  A young man stood on both sides of a door, the door was not closed, only hanging curtains, towards Tian Liang led Wang Zigui and three others to the door.

  Young man rushed forward and made a fist salute, "Hello, senior brother."

  Xiang Tianliang nodded towards the sky and leaned in, whispering a few words into the young man's ear.

  There was a commotion at the back of the long wooden chair, someone squeezed in, and everyone became restless.

  The young man walked over, bowing and saying in a low voice: "Everyone please calm down, my senior brother has brought an old friend of our master's who hasn't been seen for thirty years. Sorry, please wait another ten minutes."

  The hall immediately fell silent.

  The prince leaned against the door and lifted a corner of the curtain to look inside.

  But there was one person sitting on a mat like a monk, wearing white clothes and pants, with a shaved head and eyes closed, thin as a skeleton, face pale as frost, he was Xiang Yunqiu, the fifth uncle of Xiang Tianliang.

  The person sitting opposite was clearly a customer, middle-aged, dressed in a suit and tie, looking nervous and cautious.

  "Just listen to Cloud Autumn's faint smile, 'Sir, may I try with my left hand?'"

  The middle-aged man stretched out his left hand as he spoke.

  Xiang Yunqiu put the middle-aged man's hand in his own palm, grasping, stroking, pinching, flipping, weighing, and wiping... As he did so, he casually asked: "May I ask where you come from, sir?"

  The middle-aged man was very devout, "I come from Xiandu Township, Jiumen County."

  "Oh... Xian Du is a great place, sir. Your ancestors had some wealth and your family was well-off, so you were able to read good books for several years. You originally wanted to take the imperial examination and enter politics to bring glory to your family, but unexpectedly, due to an unexpected event and a series of mishaps, you gave up on politics and turned to business. It's been over five years now... Fortunately, thanks to your hard work and good luck, you've achieved some success... Am I right, sir?"

  The middle-aged man listened with his mouth agape, "Great, great master, you are indeed a divine being."

  Yun Qiu let go of the middle-aged man's hand, smiled calmly and continued: "But Mr. Ke has recently encountered a difficult situation, and his heart is having trouble making a decision, so he came here today to ask."

  The middle-aged man's face changed, "Master, how did you know?"

  Yuan Zhong turned to Yun Qiu and said: "When one has something on their mind, they must feel weighed down. When the heart is heavy, the spirit becomes concentrated. A person with a concentrated spirit will have stiff palms. You've achieved success in your career, and your virtuous wife deserves half the credit. Why do you seek trouble for yourself by abandoning your virtuous wife and young son for a flirtatious woman?"

  The middle-aged man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. Please, Master, point the way."

  "When you don't cut off what should be cut off, you will suffer the consequences. Wherever you come from, go back to where you came from. The sea of bitterness is boundless, but turning your head is a shore. Think thrice, sir."

  Xiang Yunqiu closed her mouth, slightly nodded and made a gesture of sending off guests.

  The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Thank you, Master, for enlightening me. Thank you, Master, for enlightening me." He got up and walked to the door, wiping his sweat while handing over 1,000 yuan to the young man.

  Wang Zigui pulled Xiang Tianliang aside and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Xiang, why does your fifth uncle look like a Buddhist?"

  Xiang Tianliang explained: "My fifth uncle's master was a high-ranking monk who had attained enlightenment. He hoped that my fifth uncle would follow in his footsteps and inherit his legacy, but because my grandparents opposed it, my fifth uncle returned home, got married, and had children. However, to show gratitude for his master's teachings, my fifth uncle has been vegetarian, reciting scriptures, and practicing meditation for decades without interruption. He shaves his head, sits in stillness, and looks just like a monk."

  The prince nodded and asked again: "Then why did he cover his eyes?"

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "That's just a show-off, there are so many classmates watching outside, so my fifth uncle only uses bone divination, doesn't look at facial features, just needs to shake hands, can say something roughly."

  The prince Guitou nodded again, with a few more points of reverence on his face, looking at Tian Liang in his eyes, rejoicing in his heart, stinky old woman, no matter how arrogant and fierce you are, in front of the half-god and half-immortal, you only have to surrender.

  The young man made a gesture indicating towards the bright sky, meaning they could go in now.

  Wang Zigui didn't completely lose his composure and whispered: "Later when we go in, you three are only allowed to listen, not speak."

  Four people entered the house, Wang Zigui sat down in the chair in front of Yun Qiu, Xiang Tianliang, Li Yajuan and Ye Nan sat on the side.

  Xiang Yunqiu has a lot of style, with every gesture and movement, her attire and appearance, having a bit of an immortal's demeanor, making people involuntarily show respect.

  "Master, thank you." Wang Zigui changed his demeanor, bowing and speaking in a soft and gentle voice.

  Xiang Yun Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Miss, please extend your right hand."

  Men on the left and women on the right, when giving palm readings to women, mainly look at their right hand.

  Xiang Yunqiu's movements were quick and light, holding Wang Zigui's hand for only five or six seconds before releasing it.

  "Excuse me, excuse me, big sister, may I ask, are you from an official's family?"

  The prince's eyes narrowed slightly, what a formidable master, with just a light grip, he could guess his identity.

  "Master, you don't have to be polite, just speak your mind."

  Yun smiled faintly and said, "No matter rich or poor, all who come are guests."

  "Please enlighten me, Master."

  Xiang Yun Qiu nodded slightly, exhaled a breath of air, and then slowly shook her head. After that, she remained motionless for a long time without saying a word.

  "Master, it doesn't matter what you say."

  "Oh... sorry, big sister, I want to shake hands with you again."

  This time, Xiang Yunqiu held onto Wang Zigui's left hand for quite a while.

  Then, Yun Qiu let out a soft sigh, but it was clear that he intentionally made it loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

  Wang Zigui did not dare to speak, sat there with a devout face.

  "A life of wealth and nobility, yet a fate of bitterness. How could this be? Elder sister, your past has been quite tortuous."

  "Master, you're right, please go on." Wang Zigui's voice was trembling slightly.

  Xiang Yunqiu said: "Sister, excuse me for speaking bluntly, your first half of life has been quite unfortunate."

  "Yes, yes..."

  "A person's life is determined by four things: fate, luck, Feng Shui and their name. Everything in the world is predetermined by heaven, we ordinary people should be aware of this. Excuse me, sister, are you asking about your personal future?"

  "To be honest with you, Master, I'm approaching retirement age and have long given up on the idea of a promising future. What I want to ask is, will my life continue to be so bitter from now on?"

  Xiang Yun Qiu paused for a moment and said slowly: "Big sister, you have been suffering in your heart for a long time, and this knot has not been untied. How can we talk about happiness?"

  "So, how can we untie the knot in our hearts?"

  Xiang Yunqiu smiled and said, "Knots in the heart can only be untied by oneself, don't ask others for help. Big sister, don't look back, just look forward, your second half of life will be a life of great wealth and nobility, because that is the life you deserve."

  "How do you say this?"

  "I told you earlier, you were originally a noble and wealthy person, but your life has been bitter. There is a reason for this, it's because of the demon in your heart that won't let go, making you unable to move on, and as a result, your long-standing grievances have become knots. As long as you forget about the past, the wealth and nobility that you should have had in the first half of your life will appear in the second half."

  "Where is wealth and honor?"

  Yun Qi said loudly: "When children are rich and noble, parents are also rich and noble. Eldest sister, it's time to let go."

  "Master, I...I..." Wang Zigui stood there, his old face flushed with pain and embarrassment, his voice almost choked with emotion. "Master, please help me."

  Suddenly, Wang Zigui's body trembled and he covered his face and wept.

  Li Yajuan and Ye Nan next to her looked at each other in dismay, wanting to reach out to help, but were stopped by Xiang Tianliang's glare.

  Xiang Yun Qiu smiled and nodded, "Big sister, you don't even know how to cry, it's clear that you haven't cried in many years. Go ahead and cry, cry loudly, cry freely, once you're done crying, the knot in your heart will be untied."

  "Wow..."

  Wangzi Guixiang seemed to have been possessed by an evil spirit. As soon as Yun Qiu's words fell, she burst into loud sobs.

  This cry was unbearable, like sorrow, like bitterness, like acid, like hatred, like the Yangtze River rushing down, surging ceaselessly.

  Nor did he know how much time had passed, but Wang Zigui leaned against the chair, his face calm as water.

  "Master, thank you for your enlightenment."

  Yun Qiu smiled and said: "Big sister, I also can't let you come in vain, please say a few words casually, I'll help you take a look."

  Wang Zigui thought for a moment and said: "Wang Zigui."

  "Is it just these three words: Wang Zi Gui?" asked Yun Qiu.

  "Yes, three horizontal and one vertical king, child's zi, osmanthus' gui."

  Yun Qiu nodded and put away her smile, sank into thought for a moment before saying: "Good name, good name, big sister. Unfortunately you're a woman, this should be a man's name."

  Wang Zigui suddenly stood up with reverence, "Master, you're really amazing! This is the name my brother used!"

  Next to Xiang Tianliang heard it in his heart and laughed, I told my fifth uncle early on, *** can't be divine.
