Chapter 30 Engagement
Don't make any mistakes again. At this time next year, let her successfully marry into the Xu family. The couple will be reconciled and have a smooth life.
Get what you want, and finally achieve perfection.
The incense slowly entered the cauldron. She raised her eyes and looked at the magnificent and compassionate golden Buddha statue in front of her.
In fact, she has never believed in Buddha. The so-called worshiping Buddha is just a way for incompetent people to find solace for their inner cowardice.
She only believes in herself.
There have been a lot of pilgrims in Xiangji Temple recently. Once the list was released, there were many people like old lady Xie who came to worship Buddha and fulfill their vows.
Among them, naturally, the Xu family in the south of the city is included.
Mrs. Xu was also delighted that Xu Zhijian had entered the top three, and decided to ask him to accompany her in person to fulfill her wish, saying that this would show her sincerity.
Xu Zhijian had no choice but to accompany her mother to light candles and burn incense and worship the Buddha statue.
After everything was done, Mrs. Xu went to the Zen room to listen to the abbot talking about Buddhism, and he held an oil-paper umbrella and wandered around the mountains and temples.
Everything is so natural.
The girl from the Jiang family who came to worship Buddha met the young master from the Xu family who came to fulfill her wish.
Looking from a distance through the rain curtain, under the oil-paper umbrella, the girl smiled shyly and lowered her eyes.
It's joyful, but also deliberate.
"Why is my sister here?" Xu Zhijian asked her as they walked on the Bluestone Bridge.
Yun Xi answered obediently, "I came here with my grandmother to fulfill my wish. Why is Brother Xu here too?"
She asked knowingly, but he had no idea, "I came here with my mother, and I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, my sister would be here. If I had known this, I should have come earlier. In this way, I could see my sister earlier."
Xu Zhijian looked down at her, with a smile in his eyes.
The girl became more shy, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were full of emotion.
After getting off the bridge, the rain stopped. Yun Xi put away his umbrella and gave him a slight blessing, "Congratulations to brother Xu for winning the exam, and I also wish him the best to be named on the gold list of the scientific examination next year."
"I accept my sister's good wishes." Xu Zhijian smiled, taking the oil-paper umbrella from her hand naturally, and explained in a warm voice, "There is water on the umbrella, please don't stain my sister's skirt. I will hold it for my sister."
He is truly a considerate and attentive husband.
Since the two met and were in the same temple, it was inevitable that the two families would also meet.
In the Zen room, Mrs. Xu held Yun Xi's hand and smiled particularly warmly.
After a few pleasantries, they mentioned the marriage incident.
Thanks to the old lady, the girl is still in the period of filial piety and it is inconvenient to go through the Ming Dynasty ceremony. It would be good for the two families to be aware of it.
Next year, in addition to being filial piety, my brother will also pass the pediatric exam, which will be a double happiness. At that time, we will invite a matchmaker to come to our door to make a good marriage between the two of them.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "That's what I mean too."
Then he looked at Yun and said sarcastically: "When I saw you in the past, I felt that I was particularly destined. I always thought how great it would be if I had such a well-behaved and smart girl. This time is great. Such a good girl will always be lucky.
Arrive at my house."
Yun Xi was so shy that he lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.
Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Zhijian again and said with a straight face, feigning anger: "You have to take the scientific examination well next year. If you don't do well, your sister Yuan will not marry you."
"Yes, my son must take the exam well."
For a rare moment of seriousness, he raised his hands and gave Yun Xi a straight bow, "I will never let down my mother and sister's expectations of me."
Everyone laughed.
Yun Xi blushed, and considering that all the elders present were worried about getting angry, he had to cover his handkerchief with his hand, and gave him a look that was half angry and half annoyed.
When Xu Zhijian saw it, her heart was filled with joy, and she understood that this was what she wanted.
The marriage was settled and everyone was happy.
