Upon hearing this, Old Man Sun's face immediately darkened further. "You think golden dragons are like cabbages!"

"You can name as many as you want; it would be good if there were even one in the entire dynasty."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhi interrupted him, saying, "Master Sun, have you calculated when would be the best time for us to raise the roof beam?"

Master Sun: "The day after tomorrow, at the third quarter of Chen hour, not a quarter more, not a quarter less! Use three incense sticks as the standard, and remember that the incense must not go out before the beam is raised."

Shen Zhi nodded solemnly after listening.

Then Master Sun continued, "The dragon is trapped underwater. Your beam needs to be raised half a foot to escape."

The height of their house was based on Xu Qinghe's request. It was already much taller than the houses in the village, so they needed to raise it by half a foot.

Since it only needed to be raised by half a foot, no one thought there was a problem.

Just when they thought Old Man Sun had finished calculating, he suddenly said something else.

"You've found a good wife! Looking at your birth chart, you're facing many difficulties right now, and it's hard to say whether you can make a comeback."

"But once you meet her, your destiny will change. You will rise to great heights. Although there may be danger to your life, once you overcome it, you will enjoy a life of wealth and honor."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe could no longer contain her smile. "You mean me, right?"

"You mean I'm good for him, and if I marry him, his life will be better?"

Old Man Sun: "You could say that."

Xu Qinghe was even happier to hear this. "Master, have you eaten? I'll go cook. You must eat at my house!" After saying that, she hurriedly went to cook.

To be honest, Xu Qinghe didn't really believe what Master Sun said about this, but she couldn't help being happy.

After all, it's a big day for the roof beam to be raised, and everyone wants to hear something nice.

Seeing Xu Qinghe's attitude, Old Man Sun's expression became even more satisfied. "Alright, then I'll respectfully comply."

Now Xu Qinghe no longer cared about the bloodshed of wild rabbits and foxes, and rolled up her sleeves to get to work.

Old Man Shen was quite satisfied with the date he had chosen, but he was still a little puzzled. "Master, you mentioned the golden dragon? Who is it referring to?"

Old Man Sun shook his head mysteriously, "I can't see it clearly, I can't calculate it, and I can't say."

Seeing his reaction, Old Man Shen didn't ask any more questions. But Shen Zhi stopped him immediately, looking gloomy, and said, "I wonder if you'll tell people about this divination, sir."

Master Sun smiled faintly and said, "I will only tell you your divination; no one else is allowed to ask."

Shen Zhi: "That's good."

Master Sun: "Of course, you can't say anything about it either."

Shen Zhi: "Mm."

Seeing this, Old Man Shen helped Master Sun to the side and chatted with him while waiting for Xu Qinghe to finish cooking.

Xu Qinghe did everything she could, managing to put together a total of eight dishes.

After seeing this, the young apprentice immediately and secretly drew an "8" on Master Sun's hand.

Old Sun was even happier to see this, realizing that all the words he had memorized had not been wasted.

After a satisfying meal, Old Man Sun prepared to leave with his young apprentice.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qinghe immediately ran forward and secretly slipped another one-tael silver ingot to him.

Well, if you don't believe me, then nothing will happen to you.

But if you believe it and then let it go, you should be more polite to people, otherwise, if they gossip about you behind your back, you'll suffer.

This is why Xu Qinghe immediately treated him to good food and drinks after hearing this.

Old Man Sun secretly weighed the silver ingot that Xu Qinghe had given him, and felt even more at ease; she was a sensible person.

As soon as the two stepped out, the young apprentice couldn't help but whisper, "Master, do you think they'll believe what you're saying?"

Master Sun: "Whether they believe it or not is up to them."

Young apprentice: "Master, are they really that lucky? I've never heard you mention it to anyone else."

"When you talk about other people's homes, you always mention tigers being kept under control, but you never mention dragons?"

"Even a phoenix would be fine, but you're talking about a dragon? Aren't you exaggerating?"

Old Sun curled his lip, looking speechless, and said, "You can't just say that!"

"Then tell me, in all the villages around here, have you ever seen anyone build such a nice courtyard?"

The young apprentice shook his head. "Never seen it before."

Old Man Sun: "That settles it then."

"Anyone who can afford to build such a nice house must be rich."

"Now that the family is wealthy, how can they not send their children to school? Once the children are in school, anything is possible."

"If you get the top score in the exam, then you'll become Jackie Chan, right?"

Young apprentice: "Didn't you pass the exam?"

Old Man Sun: "Then let's make it shallow water."

"Look at you, you've been with me for so many years, and you still haven't learned this little thing."

"Did you remember the ancestral notes I told you to?"

The young apprentice scratched his head, looking guilty, and said, "I... I only remembered half of it."

Old Man Sun: "No wonder I couldn't see anything."

"Let me tell you, raising the roof beam, getting married, getting engaged, having a baby—these are all joyous occasions. What does 'joyous occasions' mean? It means good things!"

"When you encounter a happy event, you must learn to double the joy and never dampen the spirits, you know?"

Young apprentice: "Understood."

Seeing his reaction, Old Man Sun stopped scolding him, but his face darkened instantly.

Because he had truly foreseen it; his family was protected by a dragon, and once they weathered the storm, their status would be unattainable.

Finally, a real dragon has arrived in their little mountain valley.

The skills passed down from our ancestors were not wasted, and his perseverance was not in vain.

As the two were slowly walking home, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind them.

"You two wait a moment."

Hearing the sound, the two turned around and saw Sister-in-law Shen running over, panting.

Upon arriving, he arrogantly asked the two, "Are you two here today to calculate the auspicious time for their family's housewarming ceremony?"

The young apprentice frowned slightly as he looked at the formidable Sister-in-law Shen before him. "Yes, and who are you?"

Sister-in-law Shen: "I'm the sister-in-law of this family. This must be the fortune teller!" She pointed to Old Man Sun as she spoke.

Old Man Sun sensed Sister-in-law Shen's disrespect, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

What do you need?

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately became mysterious and slipped a copper coin into Old Man Sun's hand.

"Sir, I'd like to ask you, did those two just give you your birth date and time?"

Old Sun touched the copper coin in his hand, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "What difference does it make whether I gave it or not?"

Sister-in-law Shen: "If you give it to me, could you get me something that can turn back the clock, so that all their good fortune goes to my family, making my family better and better, and their family worse and worse?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Sun's face immediately darkened. "You want it?"

Sister-in-law Shen: "Of course, otherwise why would I give you money?"

After a moment of silence, Old Man Sun suddenly said, "Then tell me your birth date and time!"

Sister-in-law Shen asked, puzzled, "Why do you need my birth date and time?"

Old Man Sun: "Of course, it's about using your birth chart to absorb hers."
