Chapter 1247 - 1120: How Old Is the Spouse?

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1120: How Old Is the Spouse?

Time slowly passed...

Half an hour later, Old Lady Liu broke the silence in the room, "How old is your spouse?"

Zhou Jiao’s heart skipped a beat at the question, and she hesitated, "One year older than me, noon on March 20th."

Old Lady Liu didn’t ask further, counting on her fingers for a moment, then looking at Zhou Jiao.

"Born as a male with siblings above, both parents alive. A five-foot tall pole with a red flag hanging, this destiny is tied to both wealth and officialdom. It’s a good fate, not only benefiting you but also elevating your husband’s family to great heights with this child."

Zhou Jiao blinked, looking at her with a face full of confusion.

"This child is destined to face three calamities. As a child, there was a disaster involving blood, having overcome it, there’s another emotional calamity before the age of 20, which seems to involve you. The final calamity is a prison disaster before 30, which seems to have already passed."

Old Mrs. Cheng nodded repeatedly before Zhou Jiao could react, "Yes, yes, yes. Master, does this mean the child will be alright in the future?"

Old Lady Liu glanced at the elderly lady with pride and reluctantly nodded slightly, adding, "Do more good deeds, this child has too much killing intent."

Old Mrs. Cheng incredulously glanced at her, then regained her composure, looking at Zhou Jiao with a mysterious expression. Should she believe it or not?

The previous predictions were accurate, especially details about their own family, which weren’t even accurately calculated before. But how could Xiao Wu be so bloodthirsty?

Zhou Jiao’s eyes narrowed as she explained, "Everything has a spirit, the master is likely referring to hunting."

Old Lady Liu did not elaborate further. She only did one reading, focusing on the female’s fate, and this additional comment was out of past gratitude.

"Your Eight Characters have been calculated before, to be honest, everything that should be said has pretty much been said."

The elderly lady grew anxious, breaking her usual decorum, and hurriedly interjected, "Master, you only looked at the face before, please explain in detail according to the hexagram."

Old Lady Liu waved her hand, "Relax and listen to the end, I understand your intention." Constantly interrupting, does she want her to finish speaking? She didn’t owe any favors now.

Zhou Jiao gave the elderly lady a reassuring smile and quietly listened as Old Lady Liu recited a series of terms like "female creation," "hidden stems," "geographical positions," "elemental sounds," and "major fortune distribution..."

Unlike the elderly lady’s confusion, although her expression was unchanged, she somewhat understood the meaning of these terms, as it was already the result of a Bazi fortune analysis.

Next should be a combination of facial features interpreting one’s life experiences and encounters.

Her feelings were complex. Was this her fate, or the original person’s fate?

Who was she?

She only remembered her father was Zhou Xiaozheng, her mother Miao Lishan, her husband Zhang Guoqing, and that she had three sons. This was her life.

Correct, her past life was Zhou Jiao, and Zhou Jiao was also her.

After collecting her thoughts, Zhou Jiao wasn’t much moved by Old Lady Liu’s subsequent hexagram readings.

Especially when hearing about her future opportunities being addressed correctly, she thought this should be her life.

"...Alright, I’ve said so much, it’s all over now." Old Lady Liu, seeing the joyous Old Mrs. Cheng about to speak again, waved her hand.

"With the Five Elements prosperous and flowing, and the Five Blessings complete in the Eight Characters. A smooth life without waves, reaching high official positions, successive academic success, wealth in the millions, and a lifespan exceeding ninety. Offspring, husband’s fate, wealth, official position, and longevity, all five blessings present, nothing missing. Old sister, what are you worried about?"

Old Mrs. Cheng responded with open happiness, "Not worried, not worried. I’ve held up the master’s meal." Saying so, she opened the small handbag in her hand and took out two thick red envelopes.

Old Lady Liu’s face darkened at the sight.

The elderly lady quickly smiled, "I understand what you mean, this is not for the hexagram, these are thanks."

"No need, just give a coin each if you’re thankful."

Zhou Jiao knew these so-called experts had their temperament. Although they claimed mutual indebtedness was cleared, it didn’t mean lack of protective intention towards both her grandmother and herself.

Moreover, Old Lady Liu didn’t seem to lack money, giving money might imply misunderstandings of cutting ties permanently.

Using her handbag as a cover, she took out two common Copper Coins, placed them on the table, and pushed them towards Old Lady Liu, "No need for words for great kindness."

Old Lady Liu gave her an appreciative glance, smiling silently, then opened her mouth, advising, "Hide your Eight Characters well."

These four words had deep meaning.

Zhou Jiao looked at Old Lady Liu as she returned the red paper to her, gratefully bowing deeply. This confirmed her earlier worries about magicians’ tactics were real.

Old Mrs. Cheng, always broad-minded, hence her nickname "Living Bodhisattva," merely smiled indifferently at this, placing the red envelopes back into her handbag.

As the grandmother and granddaughter exited hand in hand, Xiao Zhu, who had been waiting anxiously nearby, had been waiting for a long time. Although he was careful not to expose himself too much, his big soldier’s frame was hard to go unnoticed, so while avoiding pedestrians, he worried about their safety, truly putting himself in a difficult position.

Seeing them come out now, he hurried back to start the car with joy.

Zhou Jiao linked arms with Old Mrs. Cheng, walking some distance before reaching the car, letting her get in first, and gestured towards the distant supply and marketing cooperative. It was already dark now, not just the elderly lady, but she feared even Xiao Zhu, the big man, would be unbearably hungry. She planned to buy some snacks to tide them over.

The elderly lady was very astute at critical moments. Just now she was confused, but at this moment she held Zhou Jiao’s hand tightly, smiling, "There are snacks in the car."

Zhou Jiao pressed her lips into a smile, using one hand to shield the car roof to prevent the elderly lady from hitting her head, and the other hand assisted her into the car, then followed her in, closing the car door.

By this time, the elderly lady had already opened a box of pastries to pass forward to Xiao Zhu, smiling, "You must have waited a while? Eat a couple of bites to pad your stomach before driving."

Xiao Zhu, a burly man, had a fierce demeanor when stern, but at this moment, smiling gave him a slightly comedic feel.

Compared to the slick Xiao Zhu by Zhang Guoqing’s side, Zhou Jiao appreciated this kind of soldier more and chimed in, "Yes, with the car moving, we dare not eat for fear of choking."

The elderly lady waved her hand at the remark, cheerfully opening another pack of pastries and pushing it into Zhou Jiao’s hand, "Your aunt bought walnut crisps somewhere, they taste good, try it, if you like, there are more at home, take some back later."

Smiling broadly, Zhou Jiao accepted. Joyful spirits make for good energy, she knew the elderly lady was in an especially good mood today, just curious if Old Lady Liu had another reading, who did the elderly lady have it for?

"Did my aunt go back home these past two days?"

"She? She goes back to her mother’s place every day, doesn’t she? Only your uncle on her husband’s side indulges her, the in-laws don’t mind, they’ve even got grandsons, and she doesn’t think to help out at home."

Though the elderly lady’s tone was of disdain, she couldn’t hide the smile that seemed evident, and Zhou Jiao, not caring about eating anymore, swiftly complimented, "That’s my aunt being filial to you."

"Not worrying me is enough filial piety. Eat up..."
