Chapter 175: Come to worship Buddha again
From what Aunt Zhang said, it seems that this young lady has gone out to play again. Jiang Chengfeng was sweating coldly, thinking that this strong woman is always busy with work. If it weren't for the previous guidance, I'm afraid she would still work ! But the annual meeting will be held tomorrow, why are you still going out to play?
After thinking about it, Jiang Chengfeng decided to go out and look for it, but he was not enough alone, so he immediately split up with Shen Yao and Deshun to look for it. Aunt Zhang and Dong'er stayed at home, and they agreed that they would all come back after two hours, regardless of whether they had found it or not.
After Shen Yao and Deshun left, Jiang Chengfeng went straight to Su Causeway. According to Aunt Zhang, the eldest lady had only been to Su Causeway since she came to Huazhou, so she probably went to Su Causeway again this time.
It was dusk, and there were only a few pedestrians on the Su Causeway. Walking on the quiet Su Causeway, a gust of cold air swept over, and Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help shivering and wrapping his clothes tightly.
Suddenly, a long bell sound came from the other side of the lake. I guess this is the Nanping evening bell.
However, Jiang Chengfeng was now worried about Miss Shen and had no mood to appreciate the evening bell of Nanping. He walked hurriedly along the Su Causeway, but there was no sign of the Miss.
I walked along the Su Causeway Stone Bridge again, but still couldn't find Miss Shen. There wasn't even a single pedestrian. It was really frustrating!
In desperation, Jiang Chengfeng had to walk quickly while calling Shen Ruoyan's name. Before he knew it, he arrived at Lingyin Temple, but still didn't find Shen Ruoyan. His mood instantly fell to the bottom.
Now that night had fallen, the pilgrims of Lingyin Temple had already left. Jiang Chengfeng hurriedly grabbed a young monk who was sweeping the floor in front of the temple and asked, "Excuse me, little master, are there any female donors in your temple?"
The young monk was startled and chanted the Buddha's name, saying, "What a sin! Benefactor, this is a pure Buddhist place, how could there be such filthy things!"
I'm dizzy. The female donor is a filthy thing. What kind of logic is this?
Jiang Chengfeng was too lazy to say anything more to the young monk. Just as he was about to go into the temple to look for her, he heard the young monk say, "There is a female donor offering incense in the Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall. I wonder if she is the one you are looking for?"
Jiang Chengfeng was overjoyed, and after asking for directions, he headed straight for the Guanyin Hall. When he arrived at the door of the hall, he saw a young woman in a plain dress kneeling on a cushion, bowing her head in a pious manner.
Jiang Chengfeng let out a long sigh, sat down on the floor, and gasped for breath. Thank God, he finally found it!
Hearing the noise behind her, Shen Ruoyan subconsciously turned her head, but it was night time and she could only see a dark shadow but couldn't tell who it was. She was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.
"Stop yelling!" Jiang Chengfeng shouted angrily, "Look at what time it is, and you are still worshipping the Buddha !"
Hearing that it was Jiang Dazhu's voice, Shen Ruoyan said happily: "Jiang Dazhu, do you know I'm here?"
Jiang Chengfeng was really defeated by this lovely young lady. He stood up, patted his butt, and said as he walked: "Miss, why are you here? Do you know that we almost turned Huazhou City upside down in order to find you!"
Shen Ruoyan glanced outside the palace and said in surprise, "It's already so dark! I didn't expect it!"
Jiang Chengfeng was even more speechless. Could it be that this young lady was possessed by a demon? There was no need to be so devoted to worshipping the Buddha, right?
"I'm really sorry for making you worry!" Shen Ruoyan also knew that she had done something wrong. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she spoke in a low voice.
Jiang Chengfeng smiled bitterly, "Miss, didn't you pay your respects yesterday? Why are you here again today?"
Shen Ruoyan's cheeks turned even redder, and she said hesitantly, "Actually, it was the Zen master who told me to do it again today!"
"Zen Master?" Jiang Chengfeng didn't react for a moment.
Shen Ruoyan was too ashamed to raise her head and whispered, "That's the one who interpreted the fortune for me yesterday!"
After a pause, he added, "The Zen master said that the lot I drew was unsolved, and he had no way of interpreting it. Whether it was good or bad was up to me! Finally, he told me to worship all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temple, and maybe I could get a good result!"
I'm stunned. You believe everything the old monk says! If I shaved my head, burned some scars, and wore a monk's robe, would you believe me? They are obviously looking at you because you are rich and extorting money from you! I don't know where your usual cleverness has gone!
But when you think about it, it's understandable. No matter how smart a woman is, when it comes to her marriage, she will inevitably get nervous and make mistakes.
"Are you asking that Zen master about marriage?"
When suddenly asked this, Shen Ruoyan was stunned for a moment, then she hummed and stopped talking.
It was just a bamboo stick, but I didn't expect it to drive Miss Shen crazy! You never know what will happen in this world!
After thinking for a while, Jiang Chengfeng asked, "Miss, have you finished your worship ?"
"Just tear down this statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded, stopped talking, stood up and went to wait outside the hall.
Soon, Shen Ruoyan also came out. Jiang Chengfeng stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss, why don't you let me help you interpret the fortune!"
Shen Ruoyan glanced at him with disdain and snorted, "I don't believe you!"
Jiang Chengfeng didn't waste any words and directly snatched the bamboo stick from Shen Ruoyan's hand. Shen Ruoyan was furious and called him a scoundrel. She reached out to grab it, but failed. She stared at Jiang Chengfeng with her big eyes, and it was unclear whether she was angry or wanted to hear Jiang Chengfeng's explanation.
Jiang Chengfeng took a quick glance and knew what was going on. He shook his head and said, "Actually, this unsolved fortune is not difficult! It says that you must observe carefully to find your ideal husband! Otherwise, even if you are destined to be together, you will miss each other!"
Shen Ruoyan glared at him and said nothing, but when she turned around, Jiang Chengfeng still caught a hint of joy at the corner of her mouth.
With just one simple sentence, Shen Ruoyan felt much better. Jiang Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with his eloquence, he was fully qualified to be a psychologist!
After leaving Lingyin Temple, Miss Shen was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, she leisurely enjoyed the night scenery.
Jiang Chengfeng naturally couldn't bear to disturb her, so he followed her all the way. The two walked along the Su Causeway, and Shen Ruoyan came to a big rock beside the Su Causeway and sat down, staring at the lake illuminated by the moonlight in a daze. Jiang Chengfeng had no choice but to sit down and stare as well.
Jiang Chengfeng looked at Shen Ruoyan beside him, wondering if this girl was still thinking about the bamboo stick, so he smiled and said, "Miss, I've already said it before, as long as you look carefully, you can find your ideal husband! Maybe, your ideal husband is right beside you!"
Shen Ruoyan was stunned, then glared at Jiang Chengfeng and said angrily, "Nonsense!"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought to himself, I was trying to enlighten you with good intentions, but you didn't appreciate it, and you accused me of talking nonsense. You took my kindness for granted!
Just when Jiang Chengfeng was secretly "sad", Shen Ruoyan suddenly said: "Jiang Dazhu, tell me honestly, the night before you set off for Huazhou, were you hiding in Qingdie's room?"
