Her father's aphrodisiac formula? Too little money. Not worth it. Her mother's secret to having a son? Too little money. Not worth it. The art of astrology, fortune-telling, and conning people that she'd picked up from a wandering Taoist? Xie He could already see silver notes fluttering all around her. She was in! So she set up shop in front of the four hundred and eighty temples in the capital, taking turns. Not for any other reason, of course, than to avoid getting beaten up. Then one day, she saw a young gentleman dressed in fine clothes, with a striking presence. Thinking that this would be her last job before she retired from the con game, she said, "Sir, I see that good fortune is written in your stars, but there's danger hidden within it. Your situation is extremely perilous. Let me cast your fortune and help you turn danger into safety." Bai Xiuzhu, a high-ranking official at the Court of Judicial Review, narrowed his eyes. This little con artist had walked right into his trap. So he obligingly had her "arrested." Xie He beat her chest and stamped her feet in regret. Every day, she followed Bai Xiuzhu around and did his bidding, wishing she'd never tried to con him. Much later, he grabbed her by the collar and said, "Tell my fortune." Xie He fawned over him.
