Chapter 18: Worshiping Buddha
Xu Yan came to his senses and waved his hand quickly: "No, I just didn't react for a while. Is this... you heard it wrong?"
"Although my aunt didn't say it clearly, I can still understand the meaning. When I asked you, I helped me say a lot of good things! Last time you went to the mansion, I probably saw Xiaoxuan. It's not that I brag that my cousin is a good girl from afar. She has a gentle and virtuous personality. She must have a good appearance and talent. In other words, my uncle has been fighting outside for many years and is wandering around. Otherwise, the person who comes to ask for marriage will definitely break the threshold. Just be happy secretly!"
“…”
Isn’t he just a little girl in high school, and she is still the undeveloped one. Although she is indeed beautiful, how can you say so amazingly?
Furthermore, there is a "festival" between the two. If he is a serious girl, the marriage will probably not be successful!
Yin Shenglong urged him: "Can you please give me a message?"
Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "We have only met twice in total, and we didn't say a few words together. How do you ask me to answer?"
"It's not easy to meet!"
Yin Shenglong hugged Zhao Chenghuai and laughed, "Brother, let's make some arrangements!"
Zhao Chenghuai had a bitter face: "Uncle will break my legs!"
"What are you afraid of? If the general wants to punish you, I will carry it for you!" Pang Hu's chest slapped.
As the saying goes, three cobblers beat Zhuge Liang, and the three of them muttered and quickly set the time and place.
Xu Yan scratched his head, but did not stop him.
Let the flow. If you really see it, just explain the "flirting" incident at that time, so as not to think that girl really treats herself as a hooligan. If she complains to Zhao Shouting, she will be miserable!

Of course, you can't go home if you meet, it's more convenient to be outside. On this day, Zhao Chenghuai went to visit Xue and mentioned during a chat: "With the weather, my aunt should go out for a walk more and relax. My nephew heard that there is a Thousand Buddha Temple in the east of the city, which is full of incense. The temple presided over the Buddhism in it is profound and often solved people's doubts, which is very effective!"
Xue believed in Buddhism and heard this, "Since you are a monk who has attained enlightenment, you should visit and accumulate some merits!"
Zhao Chenghuai was waiting for her words and immediately said, "It is better to have a day than choose a day, just today! Aunt will take her younger sister with her, and will be escorted by her nephew. It will be safe! Although Shu is remote, the scenery of the mountains and rivers are unique, and there is also a bluestone waterfall that flows down, making it rare to see it!"
When Xue heard what he said was so nice, she couldn't help but laugh and nodded in agreement.
She instructed the mother Liang next to her to pack up her things, and called Xuan'er over to come and go to the temple to worship Buddha together.
Zhao Chenghuai breathed a sigh of relief and the first step was completed.
Two carriages drove out of the yard one by one, and Zhao Chenghuai rode a horse in front to lead the way. The guards on both sides guarded him and slowly drove towards the east of the city.
Qianfo Temple is built on a hill. Because the shape of the mountain looks like a bull's head, the locals call it Wild Bison Mountain.
Today is the Double Ninth Festival. There are many people who come up the mountain to worship Buddha, and some of them are still home and are very lively.
On the side of the guardrail on the top of the mountain, three young men were looking down, one of them even jumped onto the stone, pointed to the carriage and horses in the distance and said, "Here is here! Come!"
"Let's go and prepare! Rong'an, it's up to you later!"
Xu Yan was pulled up the mountain by the two of them, and he felt a little strange. Why did he feel like a thief?
At the foot of the mountain, Xue and Zhao Ruxuan got off the carriage and walked up the mountain road. Zhao Chenghuai asked a guard to step forward and inform the monks in the temple.
Soon someone came over. The first one was the monk from the temple. He clasped his hands together and recited Amitabha: "The Abbot of the Wisdom Dharma is preaching to the people, but he was unable to withdraw for a moment and failed to come to greet him. Please forgive me!"
Xue quickly returned the greeting: "Master, you are polite. After hearing Master Zhifa's profound Buddhist teachings, he wanted to listen to the teachings. I hope he can give me some advice!"
"This is natural! The rooms in the temple have been cleaned up. The lady will rest for a while. After the abbot finishes his lecture, he will solve your doubts!"
The group came to the temple on the top of the mountain. Xue first took Zhao Ruxuan to burn incense and worship Buddha, and then followed Zhike Monk to the guest room. Before long, the abbot Master Zhifa came.
After the ceremony, Xue asked Master Zhifa to ask Master Zhifa for advice. Master Zhifa responded kindly, and Zhao Chenghuai quietly approached Zhao Ruxuan and whispered: "Little sister, aunt probably will have to ask for a long time. Brother, please take you around!"
The obscure Buddhist scriptures are naturally not interesting. Zhao Ruxuan was a little moved, but she still looked at her mother. Zhao Chenghuai said, "It's okay, there's a big brother here!"
Zhao Ruxuan was coaxed out of the room by him. The maid Xiaolan had long been unable to stay and hurriedly followed her out.
All of this was seen by Liang's mother standing beside Xue's side. She hesitated for a while, but in the end she did not interrupt Tan Xingzhengnong's mistress.
As soon as she walked out of the guest room, she looked like a bird without restraint. Zhao Ruxuan became much more lively. She asked with her smile: "Why are you free to play with us today? Isn't you training in the camp?"
"That... we'll have a break today and we're just free!"
"Why didn't Dad come back with his elder brother?"
"Uncle is a general. If you want to manage the military camp, you are naturally not as leisurely as me!"
Zhao Chenghuai wiped his sweat and felt that he had not told much of his lies in his life today. He was afraid that Zhao Ruxuan would reveal flaws when he continued to ask, so he quickly changed the topic: "I heard that there was a mountain field behind the temple, and monks planted wild chrysanthemums for people to watch. Brother, I will take you to see it!"
"OK!"
Zhao Chenghuai led her to the back. As soon as he walked around a Buddhist temple, he met an acquaintance head-on.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
"We were resting in the camp today, so the three of us went out to play together. I didn't expect that we would meet you so by chance!"
"Yes, yes, it's such a coincidence, hahaha!"
Several people tried to pretend to be surprised, but in fact their acting skills were awkward. It was obvious that there was no silver here, so Xu Yan couldn't help but cover his face.
As a general under his father, Zhao Ruxuan naturally knew them. After a moment of silence, she hurriedly saluted: "Brother Yin, Brother Pang, Brother Xu... Brother Shi!"
"Young sister, don't be too polite. Are you going to the back mountain to appreciate the chrysanthemums?"
"Yes!"
"That happens that Rong'an is going to go too, so let him escort you. We have something to ask your cousin to do, so we won't accompany you!"
After Yin Shenglong said that, he pulled Zhao Chenghuai away and threw Xu Yan with a look of 'I'm looking at you'. Pang Hu pushed the little maid and said, "Xiaolan, the vegetarian rice in the temple is delicious, I'll take you to try it!"
"But Miss..."
"It's okay, I'm here!"
Several people came and left in a hurry, leaving only Xu Yan and Zhao Ruxuan facing each other, and the atmosphere was awkward.
After they did this, no matter how good the atmosphere was, it turned into a scumbag. Seeing Zhao Ruxuan's helpless look, Xu Yan had a headache.
He hesitated and asked, "Do you still want to see the wild chrysanthemum?"
Zhao Ruxuan looked up at him and whispered: "I'm sorry, Brother Xu Shi!"
