At eight in the morning, a young man accompanied by a young woman arrived at Dao Zun Tang.

The young man appeared to be around thirty-three or thirty-four years old, average-looking but lively. He wore a black casual suit. The young woman was around twenty-six or twenty-seven, quite beautiful, and she was dressed in a red outfit. It was evident that they were newlyweds.

"Master Chen, my wife and I got married yesterday. I originally wanted to invite you to our wedding banquet, but I forgot in the midst of the wedding preparations. I apologize for that.

Today, I brought my wife to express our gratitude in person and to give you some wedding candies, cigarettes, and two bottles of liquor."

The young man said to Chen Yuanshan and placed the items he carried on the office desk.

"Young man, you're too polite!" Chen Yuanshan stood up, smiling warmly at the newlyweds.

"Master Chen, today my wife and I need to return home. We won't stay here for long. When we have time in the future, we'll come to visit you again."

"Alright, both of you go about your business."

Chen Yuanshan said to the newlyweds and warmly escorted them to the alley entrance, offering blessings along the way.

Afterward, Chen Yuanshan returned to Dao Zun Tang, opened the package to take a look, and found two exquisitely packaged boxes of candy, two packs of Yuxi cigarettes, and two bottles of ordinary white liquor.

"These candy boxes are for you two."

Chen Yuanshan tossed the two boxes of candy to me and Xu Yan.

"Senior Uncle, the young man who just came in, I noticed a trace of sorrow in his face. He must have experienced a lot of hardships."

Xu Yan stood up, walked to Chen Yuanshan's desk, and inquired.

"If that young man didn't come today, I would have almost forgotten about him. When he came to Dao Zun Tang last year, his complexion was even worse than it is now, pale and with a touch of sorrow. I asked him if his parents were still alive. At that time, the young man was surprised that I could figure out that his parents were no longer in this world. So, he opened up and started talking. His mother passed away when he was very young, and his father had been ill since middle age. He spent more than ten years caring for his sick father. Over those years, his finances were depleted, and in the end, he couldn't save his father. This young man had a relationship with a girl during that time, the same girl who is his newlywed wife today. She is young and beautiful, with a good family background. The young man felt that compared to the girl's family, he was far inferior. He was afraid the marriage wouldn't work out and that he would be hurt. At that time, I asked for the girl's birthdates, did some fortune-telling based on their Eight Characters, and checked if their destinies were compatible. Their Eight Characters showed compatibility both externally and internally. I encouraged the young man not to overthink and to boldly pursue love. I told him he was a kind person, filial to his father for over ten years. The girl's family should have seen this. A man so filial to the elderly wouldn't mistreat his wife. The girl would surely choose him for his character, not focusing on his family or appearance. After hearing my advice, the young man felt enlightened, decided to dispel his worries, and bravely pursued the girl. In the end, the two of them got married happily."

Chen Yuanshan said, rubbing his beard, reaching the end of the story.
