Chapter 23 023(1/2)

With Lu Ding's help, Xu Roujia climbed to the top of the steps panting and looked back, and it seemed that it was not very high.

"Let's go." Zhou Qi said impatiently.

Xu Roujia and the other two listened to him obediently.

Perhaps it is because it is hot today, and there are not many pilgrims in Huayan Temple, and the front of the Main Hall seems quiet and majestic.

"Do all the four donors want to incense?"

The young monk who was in charge of incense asked politely.

Xu Roujia was the first to nod, Lu Yilan secretly glanced at Zhou Qi and nodded, Zhou Qi and Lu Ding were not interested.

The two girls knelt on the cushion side by side.

When you are in a temple, people who do not believe in Buddhism will also be in awe.

Xu Roujia folded her hands together and looked up at the solemn Buddha with gold painted on her face.

Although she lost her parents in her previous life, she never suffered any hardships under the protection of her grandmother. She had only been displaced with Xie Jin for the last half year, and almost died in the end. Now that she has returned from her rebirth, her grandmother and uncle still spoiled her. She also has an elder Lu who treats her as her niece, and she has the opportunity to choose a husband again and spend her life safely.

Therefore, this is the mercy of the Buddha.

Close your eyes, Xu Roujia kowtowed devoutly.

May the Buddha bless my grandmother for a long life and my uncle escape the disasters of his previous life. May she be able to successfully fulfill my grandmother’s wishes, and may the Buddha give her a good man.

From Zhou Qi's position, you can see the girl's side face. Her palms covered the ground with her forehead against the back of her hands. Her long eyelashes hung quietly. Her fair and shiny face felt serious about her age or hypocrisy.

Perhaps he was praying for the Buddha to give her a good marriage that would make her worry-free for the rest of her life?

When Xu Roujia stood up to burn incense, Zhou Qi also looked away.

After incense, the four of them started to visit the temple.

The ancient trees in the temple are towering, blocking the hot summer days, but are a good place to cool off the summer. In addition to the elegant scenery, there is also a Jiyun Hall in Huayan Temple, which sells some objects that the masters have been lit at a low price, such as Buddhist scriptures, wooden combs, sachets or peach wood Buddhist beads and bracelets for pilgrims to take home to drive away disasters and evil spirits.

In addition to objects, the second floor of Jiyuntang also provides vegetarian food, and Lu gives Zhou Qi silver, which is what he wants to use.

"Brother, I want to go inside and have a walk." Lu Yilan asked Lu Ding in a low voice.

Lu Ding subconsciously looked at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi did not comment.

Xu Roujia went straight in. Otherwise, according to Lu Ding's brother and sister, he would ask Zhou Qi to make the decision in everything, once Zhou Qi did not make a clear statement, they would not dare to act without permission and be slowed down. What's the point of going out this time?

With her taking the lead, Lu Yilan secretly glanced at Zhou Qi. Seeing that Zhou Qi did not object, she followed her with joy.

All the girls like to shop. Xu Roujia was only in her early twenties before she became A Tao. In addition, she rarely had the chance to leave the palace. At this time, she came to the place where she sold things. Even if the counters were all small items, Xu Roujia was also interested in seeing them.

When the three of them first entered Beijing, Lu gave them some private money, and Princess Chun also sent someone to deliver two taels of silver per month.

Lu Yilan has so much money alone for the first time, so she couldn't bear to spend it. After walking around for three times, she only picked a pink-bottomed muslin sachet worth fifteen cents.

Xu Roujia is so thrilling that she has bought anything interesting, such as peach wood sword, Buddhist scriptures that have been opened by light, black agate beads, and small bronze mirrors that can ward off evil spirits at the corner of the bed...

"A Tao, is there too much?" Lu Ding whispered to remind his sister that he didn't have much money on hand, and the price of the things the little girl liked began to rise.

Xu Roujia looked at Lu Ding's arms and seemed to have a little too much.

Just as she was about to stop, Xu Roujia saw the round-faced monk selling things and took several boxes from under the counter.

"What are these?" Xu Roujia asked curiously.

The round-faced monk smiled and said, "There are some jade pieces. Few people buy them normally, so they only take them out when the distinguished guests come to the door."

The implication is that Xu Roujia and the other four are his distinguished guests.

Lu Ding pulled the corner of his mouth. No wonder this little monk was responsible for this place. His mouth was so coincidental.

Xu Roujia asked the little monk to open the box.

Inside the box, there are common jade pieces such as jade bracelets, jade Buddhas, jade Bodhisattvas, jade cicadas, jade Ruyi, etc. Xu Roujia has seen many of these, and what attracted her attention was a jade flute.

The little monk immediately introduced: "This is a flute that Master Puyuan personally dialed in our temple. The sound of the flute is clear and clear, which can clear the mind and calm the mind..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ding couldn't listen and asked sarcastically: "Have you ever been shining here by the master?"

The little monk had a good temper and smiled and said, "There are, if the donor needs it, the little monk will get it now."

Lu Ding:...

Xu Roujia lowered her head and smiled.

Of course she knew that the flute was not as effective as the little monk said, but she couldn't resist her liking it.

"How much does this cost?" Xu Roujia asked gently while playing with the flute.

The little monk smiled so hard that his eyes bent even more: "Fifteen taels of silver tattooed with silver."

Lu Ding and Lu Yilan took a breath, and the latter even grabbed Xu Roujia's arm.

Xu Roujia's heart moved, turned sideways, and looked at Zhou Qi with his almond eyes, and what he wanted was self-evident.

Zhou Qi had no expression on his face, as if he didn't understand what she meant.

He has money himself, and his mother also gave him money, but their money is not used to fill the greed of this cousin. If he helps to pay the bill this time, he will definitely gain a lot of money in the cousin.

Xu Roujia just wants to test Zhou Qi's closeness to her now next time.

Facts have proved that Zhou Qi was willing to coax her when she was afraid of ghosts, but she was still reluctant to spend a lot of money on her.

It doesn't matter, she has money!

When she left the palace, her grandmother gave her a stack of silver notes, which was enough for her to save money for several lifetimes.

But Xu Roujia did not intend to save money. Even if she didn't have the supplement from her grandmother, the dowry she left for her mother was enough for her to do whatever she wanted.

Just when Lu Ding was about to persuade his sister not to buy flutes, Xu Roujia untied her waist and took three gold leaves to the little monk. One gold leaf was equivalent to five taels of silver.

The little monk's eyes lit up.

Lu Ding and Lu Yilan were stunned.

Zhou Qi stared at Xu Roujia's side face coldly. Jin Yezi must have been given to her by her grandmother. She obviously had a lot of private money, but she actually wanted him to help buy a jade flute. This kind of stinginess and greed is simply unrivaled.

"I want this Buddha too, I will buy it and give it to my aunt." Xu Roujia took out three more golden leaves.

The little monk said excitedly: "Okay, okay, is the female donor interested in something else?"

Xu Roujia shook her head and asked the three people watching behind her: "Do you have anything you like? I'll give it to you."

Lu Ding refused the first one.

Lu Yilan was a little moved, but when her brother glared at her, she shut up.

Zhou Qi would not want it, and he believed that Xu Roujia was just hypocritical.

After buying things, it was noon, and the four of them went to the second floor to have vegetarian food.

They chose a window-to-window location.

The cool breeze is gentle, and it would be even better if there is no continuous noise of Zen.

Holding up a piece of vegetarian chicken, Xu Roujia looked out the window casually while handing it to the mouth, but saw two figures on the corner of the tree-lined path leading to Jiyun Hall. There were two figures at some point. The two were dressed as masters and servants, and the leading young master was wearing a white round-necked robe. He raised his head slightly, revealing a handsome jade-like face.

When Xu Roujia met those shocked eyes, her whole body stiffened.

The past came to my heart without warning.

Xie Jin smiled gently, Xie Jin kissed enthusiastically, Xie Jin carried her into the river barefoot and played...

The most unforgettable thing is the big hands that Xie Jin pinched her neck, which he pinched so tightly...

His throat seemed to be stuck. Xu Roujia threw away his chopsticks, took out his handkerchief as quickly as possible, hid under the table and vomited.

"A Tao?" Lu Ding stood up first and looked at her.

Lu Yilan reacted and thought Xu Roujia was choking, so she quickly helped Xu Roujia massage her back.

Only Zhou Qi remained motionless.

Xu Roujia didn't vomit. While covering her mouth with a veil, she waved her hands at Lu Ding's brother and sister, and explained with a forced smile: "I'm fine, I'm eating too quickly and I'm stuck."

After saying that, she slowly sat back on the chair, and she was fine, but her eyes were red.

Lu Yilan is not very good at taking care of others, and Lu Ding feels sorry for his sister and asks Xu Roujia to have a tea quickly.

Xu Roujia nodded, picked up the tea bowl and drank it, but Yu Guang secretly glanced at the location where he had just discovered Xie Jin.

But Xie Jin was gone there.

Xu Roujia glanced at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, calmed down for a moment, and drank tea as if nothing had happened.

For her, Xie Jin was the ex-husband who wanted to kill her in her previous life, and a stranger who she didn't want to marry again or have any involvement with in this life. But in Xie Jin's eyes, she was a girl who looked very much like his childhood sweetheart who had just passed away for half a year. Even if Xie Jin's feelings for her could not match her innocence, her childhood sweetheart would always be a little sincere, so Xie Jin was so shocked when he met a "dead man" in the temple.

What Xu Roujia has to do is to play A Tao completely, just pretending that she has never seen Xie Jin.

There were not many pilgrims on the second floor. After a while, everyone heard the rapid footsteps coming from the stairs.

Lu Yilan raised her head in confusion.

Xu Roujia learned from her and looked over.
