The Lucky Star Reincarnates to Bring Her Family Fortune! - Chapter 104

104 Not Short of Money

She turned her head and saw Wei Chiyu say softly, “This has a lot of crab roe. It’s for you to eat.”

As he spoke, he opened another crab and handed it to Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Xiaoyu immediately said, “Thank you, Big Brother. You’re the best.”

On the other side, Zhang Lan couldn’t help but laugh. “Chiyu is meticulous.”

!!

Wei Chiyu: “No, Auntie, don’t praise me. Uncle Zhou is the one who’s meticulous.”

Hearing this, Zhang Lan could not help but lower her head to look at Zhou Yu, who had removed the crab meat from the shell for her.

She revealed a sweet smile and said, “Look at you. Eat it yourself. Give the crab back to me. The children are watching.”

Zhou Yu placed the crab leg meat into Zhang Lan’s bowl. “You eat it. I’m quick at deshelling them. In the past, when we ate crabs, I opened them for you. Now that I have Chiyu to help open them, you should eat more.”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Wei Chiyu.

Originally, he was a little unhappy because he was robbed of his job of opening crabs for his daughter. After Wei Chiyu complimented him, he was happier.

The meal ended with everyone chatting and laughing.

As soon as he finished lunch, Zhou Junjun couldn’t wait to run back into the house to find his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Zhou Yu and Wei Chiyu carried everything from the donkey cart into the house.

Zhou Xiaoli, on the other hand, tied Zhou Xiaoyu’s hair.

The little girl was simply too beautiful. As soon as she was done, she ran around the courtyard to show off.

After Wei Chiyu finished moving his things, Zhou Xiaoli went up the mountain with him.

Right now, Zhou Xiaoli did not want Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan to know about her purchase of the stones.

First of all, she was worried that the two of them would think too much. Second, she wanted to give them a surprise.

Hence, she brought the stone to her master’s place.

Now, the Master’s courtyard is getting more and more lively. Wei Chiyu had already transplanted the peach tree in, but he could not find grapes.

After the two of them went up the mountain, Yuan Zhengchun sent Wei Chiyu to climb the mountain to practice martial arts.

Zhou Xiaoli sat leisurely on the swing.

Yuan Zhengchun sat under a tree and made himself a cup of tea. He looked at the few stones on the table and could not help but smile. “You’re not short of money in your life.”

Zhou Xiaoli could not help but ask, “Eh, how did you know, Master?”

Yuan Zhengchun stroked his beard and chuckled. “I can calculate it with my fingers.”

Zhou Xiaoli naturally knew that Yuan Zhengchun was joking, but she laughed and teased, “Master, your prediction is really accurate! Then, Master, did you predict that you would not lack money in your life too?”

Yuan Zhengchun said, “My child, one can’t tell their own fortune.”

Zhou Xiaoli, on the other hand, chuckled. “Master, I’ve already calculated it. Master would not lack money in your life for sure.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Yuan Zhengchun chuckled and chatted with Zhou Xiaoli.

“Of course.” Zhou Xiaoli said confidently, “Think about it. Now that I have money, I must be filial to my Master. What does this mean? It means that my Master would not be short of money either.”

Hearing this, Yuan Zhengchun laughed. “Kid, you’re actually teasing me.”

Zhou Xiaoli chuckled, “How would I dare? I’m just telling the truth.”

Yuan Zhengchun laughed again, his face full of affection. “Kid, you only know how to say sweet words to make me happy.”

Then, he pointed at the stones on the table. “Are you planning to leave these stones with me?”

Zhou Xiaoli blinked and said, “Yes, Master, the spiritual energy is abundant here. If I leave the stone here with the Master, perhaps it will become a treasure. Master, do you have an empty room? It’s for me to keep the stones.”

Yuan Zhengchun stood up and knocked Zhou Xiaoli’s head with a book. “Screw you, kid. You want to occupy your master’s place?”

Although he said that, his eyes were full of smiles. “Go, go. There’s an empty room in the backyard. Just put it inside.”

Zhou Xiaoli immediately jumped down from the swing and said with a smile, “Master, you are the best master in the world.”

After bootlicking, she carried the stones and ran to the backyard.

Yuan Zhengchun’s voice came from behind. “Don’t dawdle. Come out quickly after you’re done. We’re going to learn divination this afternoon. The course is very important.”

“Alright!”

Zhou Xiaoli responded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After arriving at the backyard, Zhou Xiaoli immediately found the empty room that her master had mentioned.

After all, the backyard was very empty. Other than a house and a cowshed, there was only empty space.

She pushed open the door and walked in. She realized that although the room was empty, it was not dirty.

In fact, she could keep the stones in her alternate space, but she would not be buying them just this time. There would definitely be more and more stones later.

Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan, who often went into the alternate space to farm, would probably discover it.

More importantly, she was going to use these stones to open a shop in the future. It would surely arouse suspicions if she were to take them out of her alternate space suddenly.

Anyway, her master’s place was the quietest, so she thought of leaving it here.

Zhou Xiaoli placed the stone in the room and locked the door. Then, she stood in the courtyard and looked at the empty backyard. Her heart, which wanted to cultivate the fields and grow vegetables, could no longer stay calm.

After taking another look, Zhou Xiaoli jogged to the front yard.

At this moment, Yuan Zhengchun had already prepared the tools for today. They were a turtle shell and a few copper coins.

Zhou Xiaoli walked over and served tea to Yuan Zhengchun according to the rules.

Now, every time she served tea, Yuan Zhengchun would make it in advance. He was afraid that Zhou Xiaoli would destroy his good tea leaves again.

Zhou Xiaoli complained a lot because of this. “Master, my tea-making skills have improved. I can make tea for you now. How can I serve tea to the Master and ask the Master to make it himself? If the founding masters find out, they might come to me in my dreams and scold me.”

However, Yuan Zhengchun did not listen at all. He said angrily, “Stop it. With your skills, you still have the cheek to say that you’ve improved? My good tea leaves will be ruined in your hands. You can only touch my tea when your skills are similar to mine.”

Zhou Xiaoli had a helpless look on her face. It couldn’t be helped. After all, she had a master who treated tea like his own life.

After Yuan Zhengchun drank the tea, he allowed Zhou Xiaoli to sit down and said, “But don’t worry, kid. You’re my favorite disciple. Your founding granduncles won’t scold you in your dreams.”

Zhou Xiaoli took it that Yuan Zhengchun was just comforting her after putting down her efforts earlier.

After a few seconds, she threw it to the back of her mind and asked curiously, “Master, are we going to learn the Six Trigrams today?”

She had heard of this before, but she did not know how to do it.

Yuan Zhengchun took a sip of tea and said, “Yes, you have a good foundation. Let’s start learning the six lines of divination today.”

“The so-called divine is divination. Taiyi, Qimen, and Six Ren are divination based on formulas. Meiyi and Six Yao are divinations based on formations. The divinations done based on writing, dreams, and drawing lots are considered as miscellaneous divinations. Divinations done based on yarrow and coins are considered as simple divinations which are used to deduce good and bad luck…”
