Liu Ruoxi and Yu Shuyue had already fulfilled their vows and added a lot of money for incense to the temple. However, after it was over, Yu Shuyue did not go back immediately. Instead, she wandered around the temple, looking around from time to time.
What are you wearing?
"Nothing, let's go back to the city."
Yu Shuyue actually wanted to see if she could meet Master Huairang, so she walked around the temple with the attitude of giving it a try.
Last time he appeared very suddenly and then disappeared very suddenly.
Maybe if she wandered around a bit longer, he might suddenly show up again.
"Is it really nothing?"
Liu Ruoxi looked at her suspiciously, "Why do I feel that you have something on your mind?"
"What can I worry about? Even if I do, I just hope that my brother can return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Yu Shuyue found a random excuse to divert her attention, took one last glance at the temple and planned to leave.
"Donor Yu is here."
"I met the host."
"I met the host."
She and Liu Ruoxi just turned around to leave when they met the host.
"Amitabha, donor Yu, Master Huairang asked me to give this to you. He said that it will have some effect at a specific time, so you can always keep it with you."
The host took out a string of Buddhist beads from his wide sleeves. However, unlike the Buddhist beads worn by ordinary monks, this string of Buddhist beads was smaller and more delicate. It was very suitable for a woman like her who had not left the palace to wear it on her hand, and it would not feel old-fashioned.
.
Yu Shuyue did not refuse and took it from his hand. She raised her eyes to look at the host and asked, "Thank you, host. Can Master Huairang be in the temple?"
The host shook his head and said, "Master Huairang is traveling far away."
It didn't seem to be a difficult thing for Huairang, a mysterious and clever man, to be able to ask the host to give him such a string of beads when he was traveling far away, so Yu Shuyue didn't ask any more questions.
After saying goodbye to the host, Yu Shuyue and Liu Ruoxi walked towards the outside of the temple, preparing to go down the mountain and return to Beijing.
"Ah Yue, who is Master Huairang and why did he give you a string of Buddhist beads?"
Liu Ruoxi looked at her friend unconsciously playing with the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and looked at her curiously and asked.
"Master Huairang is an eminent monk of Huayan Temple. He and I... have a close relationship. Maybe he thinks I have a fate with him. Isn't the word "fate" the most important thing in Buddhism?"
It's not that Yu Shuyue deliberately hid it from her friends, it's just that it's really hard to talk about it.
She had no way of explaining it, and was afraid that her friends would think there was something wrong with her brain if she told her.
This incredible thing is really unbelievable when told.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would have thought others were teasing her if anyone mentioned it to her.
Liu Ruoxi heard the hesitation and pause in her words, but seeing that she didn't really want to talk about it, she didn't ask further. She just pursed her lips and nodded.
"Cousin Ah Yue, it's such a coincidence that I meet you here."
Yu Shuyue and Liu Ruoxi met Jiang Ming just after leaving the temple.
Unlike Jiang Ming's happy expression, Yu Shuyue's face was calm, and the alienation and disgust in her eyes were undisguised.
"I'm not that familiar with you, and I don't want to meet you here."
Yu Shuyue's good mood suddenly dropped from the moment she met Jiang Ming.
She was impatient and quickly twirled the beads in her hands, and finally put the beads on her wrist neatly.
After she finished speaking, she pulled her friend who was still out of the situation and walked down the mountain.
"Cousin Ah Yue, I'm going back too, let's go together."
Jiang Ming wasn't asking for her opinion, he was just telling her. He didn't care whether she agreed or not, and followed them shamelessly.
"Ayue, what's going on?"
Yu Shuyue had never mentioned Jiang Ming's matter to Liu Ruoxi, so she was a little confused at the moment and didn't know what was going on with the situation in front of her.
"People from my Jiangnan ancestral family should ignore him."
"Don't you like your grandma's house very much? What's going on?"
Every year she goes to Jiangnan. Every time she comes back from Jiangnan, she feels very happy. Oh, no, she remembered.
It seems that when Yu Shuyue came back from Jiangnan in the second year, she was a little depressed.
But because similar situations never happened again, Liu Ruoxi almost forgot about it.
Could it be that her wilting state that year was related to the man calling her cousin now?
Liu Ruoxi glanced back curiously and happened to catch Jiang Ming's gaze, and Jiang Ming smiled gently at her.
The whole person looks gentle and elegant, with the elegant temperament of a scholar, and his smile is also very easy-going.
"Except this person. From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to get along too closely with sanctimonious people."
Liu Ruoxi turned around after hearing her words. She felt that Yu Shuyue's words were a bit too much.
This man is her cousin after all, and he doesn't seem like a sanctimonious hypocrite.
Seeing that her friend really felt disgusted with Jiang Ming from the bottom of her heart, she opened her mouth and finally closed it again without saying anything.
Yu Shuyue was in a very dull and unhappy mood along the way. Only by constantly turning the beads on her wrist could she calm down and not be affected by other things.
Jiang Ming hadn't seen her for a while, and everyone in the Yu Mansion didn't welcome him. He couldn't find a way to go to the Yu Mansion, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on the Yu Mansion to inquire about her movements.
Knowing that she was going out today and coming to Huayan Temple, he immediately followed her without reading.
Huayan Temple is more than twenty miles away from Shangjing City, and it takes a day to go back and forth. With such a long journey back, he can take a good look at her.
Jiang Ming's calculations were loud, but he didn't expect that just as he got off the Qianyun Ladder, he was shocked by a piece of news and froze in place.
"Ayue, you're down."
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
As soon as Yu Shuyue got off the Qianyun Staircase, she saw a man in a black python robe sitting in a wheelchair, looking at her with a smile on his face and an extremely gentle look in his eyes.
"Come to take you back to the city."
After Qi Xiuyao said that he had already arrived in front of her, he took her hand directly to his carriage without any hesitation.
"Is this Buddhist bead a new one for Ah Yue?"
He immediately noticed the string of Buddhist beads on her white wrist that were much smaller and more delicate than ordinary beads.
Yu Shuyue was suddenly held by his wrist, and her head suddenly felt hot. Her rationality left her for a moment, and soon she returned to normal.
After hearing his words, she opened her lips lightly and said, "No, this was given to me by Master Huairang."
She kept staring at his face as he spoke, trying to find some clues about him.
"Oh, Huairang..." Qi Xiuyao raised his eyebrows when he heard that it was Huairang. He was a very mysterious figure, not to mention that Qi Xiuyao had never seen Huairang.
It is difficult for the Holy Emperor to meet him today. To put it in Huairang himself, everything depends on the word fate.
If they are destined, God will naturally arrange for them to meet.
For the rest, don’t expect too much. This chapter has been completed!
