Bai Qiuyu took a deep breath and said, "A noble person has come from the Capital City, and in terms of status, none here can match."
"Oh?" Zhu Huai'an's eyes flickered, and he feigned indifference, "Sir, do not speak lightly, how could you discern my nobility at a glance?"
Bai Qiuyu pointed to a wooden plaque on the fortune-telling stall, which read, 'Three fortunes a day, no more after the time.'
"I only tell three fortunes a day, come rain or shine, never more."
"Yet today, you've compelled me to tell one more."
As he spoke, Bai Qiuyu casually drew a stick from the fortune jar, revealing a red-headed stick of the highest fortune.
With the red-topped stick in hand, Bai Qiuyu picked up a brush and wrote the number three on the table.
"The stick was drawn vertically, and adding one vertical line to three creates the character 'king'."
Bai Qiuyu continued, "My surname is Bai, and the noble seeking my fortune results in 'king' added to 'Bai'."
