Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Because of the full moon banquet matter, Wang Dashan was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.
Wang Changgen definitely couldn't be persuaded.
Would he not know his own biological father's temperament?
Du Xiaojuan likewise couldn't be persuaded.
Having lived with Du Xiaojuan for so many years, he also knew Du Xiaojuan had a strong-willed personality; once she decided on something, it was very hard to change.
What to do about this?
Wang Dashan felt his head splitting.
He couldn't even focus on work.
He really couldn't think of a solution.
Finally he decided to call his third brother to ask.
His third brother was very clever, and had previously helped him smooth over a conflict between Wang Changgen and Du Xiaojuan once.
So this time, he thought his third brother should be able to come up with a perfect solution.
Sure enough, after hearing his account, Wang Xiaohua quickly gave an answer:
"Big Brother, this matter is easy to resolve. Didn't I give you a solution before?"
Wang Dashan was baffled:
"Ah? When did you give one?"
Wang Xiaohua said:
"Before, when Dad and Eldest Sister-in-law had a conflict, didn't I have the fortune teller go persuade Dad? As a result, he not only didn't get angry at Eldest Sister-in-law, but even took the initiative to apologize and admit fault to her! So this time is the same — you go persuade him directly, he definitely won't listen, but have the fortune teller go talk to him, and he'll absolutely obey obediently!"
Hearing this, Wang Dashan slapped his forehead hard:
"Look at my brain! How did I not think of that! I'm really stupid to death!"
At this time Wang Xiaohua asked:
"By the way, has the child's bazi been calculated? I remember it needs to be done not long after birth."
Wang Dashan said:
"Not yet, but the birth date and time were given to Dad, and he said he'd find time later to go ask Wu Banxian to calculate it."
Wang Xiaohua said:
"I have Wu Banxian's phone number. I'll send it to you in a bit. You call Wu Banxian, give him some money, have him help out. When Dad and Mom go to calculate the child's bazi, have him say the child cannot have the full moon banquet; if held, the child might fall seriously ill, or even die young. I don't believe he'd still force the banquet!"
Wang Dashan hurriedly said:
"Good! Good! I'll do exactly as you say!"
Wang Dashan hung up Wang Xiaohua's call.
Then immediately called Wu Banxian.
After explaining the situation in detail to Wu Banxian, Wang Dashan stated:
"Wu Banxian, as long as you're willing to help, I can give you ten thousand yuan!"
Wu Banxian immediately agreed happily:
"Mr. Wang, you're too polite. It's just a few words' work. No need for ten thousand. Give me eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight, for an auspicious number. If you need my help in the future, just call me anytime!"
Wu Banxian was very good at business. After all, the Wang family were his regular clients.
Not only had Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan, this old couple, contributed no small income to him, but previously Wang Xiaohua had also hired him for matters, letting him earn quite a bit. Now Wang Dashan was hiring him again, so naturally he gave full sincerity, hoping this business could continue long-term. After all, a steady stream lasts longer, which is better than just eating once.
"Deal. If there are any feng shui matters in the future, I'll definitely contact you first!"
After finishing this call, Wang Dashan immediately called Wang Changgen, pretending he had already decided to hold the banquet:
"Dad, Xiaojuan and I have picked a date. We'll hold the full moon banquet on the 1st of next month. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Wang Changgen was immediately overjoyed:
"Did you check the almanac? No conflicts?"
"Checked it. It's an auspicious day. If you don't believe me, you can go check yourself!"
Wang Dashan said this, then added:
"Oh, right! Calculate the child's bazi early for me. I'll need it in two days!"
Wang Changgen was delighted at heart, so his words were also brisk:
"Rest assured. Tomorrow your mom and I will go find Wu Banxian! By the way, the child's name — do you want him to help pick one?"
Wang Dashan said:
"We've already picked one. Wang Dujin. I'll send it to your phone later. This name was picked by Third Brother and his wife. They're cultured people. But if you think it's not good, you can also have Wu Banxian pick another!"
Wang Changgen said:
"Alright. I'll go ask Wu Banxian then!"
He also said:
"Not that I'm saying anything, but Wang Xiaohua and his wife, although they're both cultured people, don't understand the rules left by our ancestors. Naming a child has so many particulars. We still have to ask Wu Banxian!"
Wang Dashan was noncommittal, only saying:
"Then you go ask!"
Anyway, he had already greased the wheels with Wu Banxian. He believed Wu Banxian, being so good at socializing, would absolutely not reject the name he had given!
Wang Zhanggen spoke up at this moment:
"Since we've decided to hold the Full Moon Banquet, I need to start notifying people these two days. There aren't many days left until the 1st of next month!"
Wang Dashan spoke tactfully:
"There's no rush. Wait until you go find Wu Banxian tomorrow to calculate the Bazi, then go notify relatives and friends — it won't be late!"
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
Wang Zhanggen went to the Neighboring Village and hired a vehicle, carrying him and Li Xiulan to the Neighboring Town to find Wu Banxian to calculate the Bazi.
He didn't ride his motorcycle personally, because his leg was in a plaster cast and it was inconvenient to operate.
Wu Banxian took 500 yuan from them, then flipped through various books, calculated all morning, and finally produced the Bazi.
"Your grandson has a very good fate. In the future, he's material for becoming a high official!"
Wu Banxian said auspicious words with a beaming smile.
"Really?"
Wang Zhanggen's old face bloomed with smiles.
Li Xiulan was also very happy.
"That, Half-Immortal, is the name Wang Dujin good? This was helped named by my Youngest Brother. My Youngest Brother is a University Student!"
"This name is extremely good! I was wondering who could come up with such a good name. Unexpectedly it was a University Student who named him. This 'Jin' character means beautiful jade, a very good meaning! Without this name, the child might not necessarily become a high official in the future!"
Wu Banxian spoke eloquently, stating it firmly, as if it were truly so.
Wang Zhanggen smiled even more broadly, unable to close his mouth:
"That kid just got lucky by chance, and managed to give my grandson such a good name! You don't know, he doesn't even believe in feng shui!"
Wu Banxian laughed:
"Whether he believes or not doesn't matter. The result is good, so that's good, right?"
"Right right right!"
Wang Zhanggen nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
At this moment, Wu Banxian suddenly frowned and changed the subject:
"However, the child has just been born for half a year. You all need to be careful..."
"What?" Wang Zhanggen was stunned.
Li Xiulan also became nervous.
Wu Banxian said with a solemn face:
"I just cast a divination for your grandson. The hexagram shows that within half a year of his birth, there is a risk of early death. You must avoid many things!"
"What needs to be avoided?"
Wang Zhanggen hurriedly asked.
Wu Banxian said:
"First, don't feed solid food too early. As long as he can drink milk, let him drink milk as much as possible. Drinking milk powder is also okay. In any case, besides milk, don't touch anything else within half a year!"
Wang Zhanggen nodded, then asked:
"What else!"
Wu Banxian continued:
"Second, try not to let the child travel far. Avoid crowded places to prevent pestilence and evil from invading!"
Wang Zhanggen nodded again, and hurriedly asked:
"Besides these two points, is there anything else that needs to be avoided?"
Wu Banxian's expression became incomparably grave:
"Third, and the most important point: don't hold the Full Moon Banquet! Too many people come to the Full Moon Banquet. If you're not careful, a happy event could turn into a funeral! So if you can avoid holding the Full Moon Banquet, it's best not to hold it!"
