Chapter 422 Yuelao Temple

Chapter 422 Yuelao Temple

When Nie Qianyu heard Zhang Xiaohua's congratulations, she couldn't help but blush on her cheeks. She felt regretful and sweet at the same time, thinking to herself: "What's wrong with me? I actually talked about these embarrassing topics with Xiaojuzi in the street? Look at this It's unethical for an enemy to eavesdrop on a girl's private conversation. But it's good to do this. If I don't have to express my love in person, it would be embarrassing to think about. But he eavesdropped on our conversation, right? Will you despise me from the bottom of your heart?"

Seeing that Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi were both very shy. Nie Qianyu didn't even dare to look at her. Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised and said: "What? I haven't seen such a handsome young man?"

Immediately, he touched his face again and said, "I haven't changed much either."

Suddenly, as if he had a sudden realization, he said with great regret: "Oh, do you already know this? I also want to ask you for some wedding money?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua acting like this, Nie Qianyu's shyness had already gone away. She raised her eyebrows a little and asked, "What are you talking about? What about money? What do we already know?"

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua said in surprise: "So you don't know. I thought this was all your own business in Huichung Valley. Oh, that's right. This has only happened in the past two months, and you are still with me. Together."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was becoming more and more irrelevant, Nie Qianyu angrily took out a small gold lock from her arms, handed it over, and said, "This is wedding money, as you can tell."

Zhang Xiaohua picked up the golden lock with her hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xiao Yu'er, congratulations to Xiao Yu'er, your sister is competing in martial arts to find a bride! You will soon have a brother-in-law with excellent martial arts skills."

After hearing this, both Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi's expressions changed greatly, and they said in disbelief: "Brother Ren, tell me again, which sister of mine is the one who competes to find a bride?"

"How many sisters do you have?" Zhang Xiaohua was also surprised and said: "I only heard the idle chatter in the teahouse. That is to say, you are competing in Huichung Valley to recruit brides these days. Tomorrow is the last day. Today we The many young men from martial arts families I met are here to catch the last train of tomorrow."

"How is this possible???" Nie Qianyu exclaimed.

"How is this impossible?" Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled.

Xiao Juezi explained on the side: "My master has three daughters in total. The young lady is the youngest, and there are two older sisters. However, the eldest lady and the second lady have been married for a long time, and the eldest lady has already given birth to a son. How can it be possible to recruit a bride through a competition? Woolen cloth?"

Zhang Xiaohua touched her chin and retorted: "What's impossible about that? If something happens to your brother-in-law..."

"Bah" Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi both spat: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth.

"

This time Zhang Xiaohua didn't show her teeth, but said thoughtfully: "If it's like you said it..."

The hand holding the golden mace stretched out again and said, "Could it be that, Nie Xiaoyu'er? Shouldn't you give me a big red envelope?"

When Nie Qianyu heard this, her face immediately turned pale. She seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't know how to talk about it when she opened her mouth.

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua immediately retracted her hand and said to herself: "That's not right, you are only twelve years old, why are you engaging in a competition to recruit a bride? Unless..."

At this time, Nie Qianyu also thought of something, and immediately said with joy on his face: "Brother Ren is really smart, he really thought of it."

Then he breathed a huge sigh of relief, patted his small chest, and said, "That's great. Brother Ren can just figure it out by himself. There's no need for me to explain it."

Zhang Xiaohua glanced sideways at Nie Qianyu, who was relieved, and said with a smile: "What are you trying to explain to me?"

Nie Qian's little head was hiding in the shadow of the carriage. She was wondering what to say or avoiding his question. At this time, Little Orange jumped out and said: "Miss, Master Ren, what riddles are you all making?" Huh? Which lady had something happen to her family that caused such a big situation? "

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the still blurry little orange and asked with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, should we go to the small temple or the Valley of Spring?"

"It's still a small temple. Tomorrow is the last day. It's not too late to go back tomorrow."

"Miss, something happened at home, are you not in a hurry? Let's go back quickly."

Nie Qianyu smiled bitterly and said: "If there is anything going on at home, let's go first. Don't delay here. Let Brother Ren explain to you on the way."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua jumped on the carriage again, shook the reins, and continued moving forward.

After they were on the road, Zhang Xiaohua took out the snacks she had just bought from her arms and handed them to the car. Nie Qianyu took them sweetly and ate them in small bites.

Xiao Juzi took two bites together and ate several mouthfuls. He was out of breath and asked, "Master Ren, Young Master Ren, can you say it now?"

Zhang Xiaohua listened and said slowly: "What else is there to say? Since Xiao Yu'er's two sisters are already married, this contest must be for you, the young lady."

"But..." Xiao Juzi was about to ask when he heard Zhang Xiaohua continue: "Although Nie Xiaoyu'er is twelve years old and is too young to compete for a bride, but if Xiao Yuer doesn't show off at all times, She looks so secluded that not many people know her true age. Only in this way can your master's plan to build a plank road succeed."

Xiao Juzi is also a smart person. Hearing this, he would not know that the competition for marriage started two months ago. It was exactly what happened after Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi were robbed and killed by bad guys. It must have been their own family. The master wanted to give the bad guys the illusion that Nie Qianyu had returned to the Valley of Rejuvenation.

"But," Xiao Juzi immediately thought of something else and asked, "What if tomorrow the martial arts competition ends and one of you is chosen to marry the lady?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Anyway, your young lady is still young, so we just need to delay her for a few more years; besides, your master must have thought clearly about this matter. A living daughter is better than an invisible daughter."

"But..." Xiao Juzi said "but" again, but Nie Qianyu stopped in one breath and said: "Xiao Juzi, this is all father's painstaking arrangement. He must also have a careful plan. We will find out when we go back tomorrow. ?”

Xiao Juzi then muttered something, but Zhang Xiaohua didn't hear it clearly.

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "No matter what happens, we can see Xiao Yuer's nominal husband tomorrow. I don't know who has such ability to stand out."

After saying that, my eyes turned to the dark buildings in the distance without any light.

But at this time, a faint ray of moonlight shined through the carriage window, making Nie Qianyu's little face pale.

To the west is a dilapidated small temple, not big, and a bit far from Mochou Lake. This is rare in Mochou City.

There is a huge temple next to Mochou Lake. The incense is very popular. Even at night, there are people offering incense and worshiping the Buddha. If a woman of Nie Qianyu's status wants to stay for a night outside the temple, it is absolutely fine. But, Nie Qianyu Qianyu chose this remote small temple.

After driving the carriage to the temple and tying it to the tree in front of the temple gate, Zhang Xiaohua entered the temple gate with Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi holding lights, candles and other items in their hands.

The temple is a small courtyard, but carriages are not allowed to enter. Inside is a small temple. In the light, the statue of the first old man is reflected. He holds a ball of thread in his hand and is looking ahead with a smile. Xiaohua didn't know why there was a statue in the temple that was not a Bodhisattva or a Buddha, but at a glance she saw two lifelike red silk balls in the old man's hands. How could she still not know who this old man was?

It was not a temple, but a Yuelao Temple that was very rare among the people.

Zhang Xiaohua sniffed, but didn't say anything. She just carefully placed the red candle in her hand on the incense table in front of Yue Lao and lit it casually. In an instant, the light yellow light spread throughout the small ancestral hall.

The kind old man behind the incense case looked real in the flickering candlelight. Nie Qianyu and Xiao Juzi walked up to them and sat on the futon in front of the incense case. They clasped their hands together and murmured something. Zhang Xiaohua Behind them, they held their hands on their chests and watched silently. Suddenly, Nie Qian turned around and glanced at her with a resentful look. Then she kowtowed nine times to Yue Lao.

Nie Qianyu's eyes were so full of meaning, and those lacquered eyes seemed to look directly into Zhang Xiaohua's heart. For a moment, Zhang Xiaohua's heart also tightened.

Seeing Nie Qianyu kowtow so devoutly, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but frown: "Could it be that I have thoughts about this little girl who is just twelve years old?"

Quickly, Zhang Xiaohua shook his head. He is not yet a minor, what is he thinking?

"This little girl is also very precocious. How could I not see her thoughts along the way? It's just..." Just what? Zhang Xiaohua couldn't tell it herself. She didn't have any blood feud. She couldn't get married without revenge. She didn't have any great cause to restore the country. She couldn't talk about feelings now. This little fish was also cute and smart, but why was she hesitating? ?

Is it a dream? That is deeply imprinted in my mind. She is also cute, but she looks very strong. Her eyes are a little confused, but is she also a tough girl?

Meng, are you okay in a foreign country?

Zhang Xiaohua was a little sad and absent-minded.

Suddenly, Nie Qianyu said: "Brother Ren, don't you want to make a wish in front of Yue Lao? The Yue Lao Temple in Mochou City is the most effective."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "It is very difficult to be perfect in this world. How can this Yue Lao take care of all the lovers in the world? If I were destined to meet her, we would meet each other even though we are thousands of miles away. But if we are not destined, I would bump into her thousands of times." How can Wan Yue Lao see her?"

Nie Qianyu's little face turned pale.

Zhang Xiaohua added: "Since Xiao Yu'er said that this Yue Lao is efficacious, why is it so desolate and there are no more offerings and worships?"
