As for marriage... it's true that she no longer considers Chen Yuancheng, but she can't just marry anyone. She has to choose carefully and find someone who suits her taste, just like her best friend.

After calming herself down, Zuo Qingzhi, probably exhausted from the afternoon, fell asleep soon after.

The next morning, Xiao Yunying was the first to wake up.

She's a bit sensitive to unfamiliar beds and doesn't feel comfortable in unfamiliar environments. She doesn't sleep deeply and wakes up as soon as it's light.

I tiptoed to the bathroom and when I came back I saw that Zheng Yunwan and Luo Xin were still fast asleep. I straightened the crooked blankets for them and then lay down on the bed for a while.

Zheng Yunwan opened her eyes and peeked at her when she heard no more sound. She couldn't help but smile, then closed her eyes again to rest.

It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Yunying got up, put on her clothes, tied up her hair, and prepared to wash up.

Zheng Yunwan got up with her, and Luo Xin woke up while they were getting dressed.

Xiao Yunying combed her hair and handed the comb to Zheng Yunwan: "Xin'er is awake. Do you want to sleep some more?"

"I'm not sleeping anymore, I'm getting up too."

"Alright, then Mother will dress you."

When they finished tidying up and went to the kitchen, they saw that Chen Yuanyao and Zuo Qingzhi were already washing up inside.

"You guys got up so early."

Chen Yuanyao wiped the water off her face with a cloth: "You can sleep in anytime, but you can't see the peach blossoms at Liangshan Temple anytime. We've come all this way, so we can't waste our time sleeping in."

"That makes sense."

Chen Yuanyao pointed to another basin stand and said, "Sister Yunying, everything on that shelf is new, you can use it."

After they finished washing up, they went to Xiao Yunying's room to chat while waiting for Ling Qi to come and tell them it was time to eat.

After breakfast, Chen Yuanyao took Zuo Qingzhi and Zuo Ningyuan to the place where she had arranged to meet the group of young men the day before.

Zheng Yunwan then took Luo Xin and Chen Yuanxuan to visit the peach orchard.

Xiao Yunying sat in Chen Yuancheng's room for a while, planning to go and chat with the master who had interpreted her fortune.

She then realized that she didn't know the master's Dharma name and asked, "Yuancheng, do you know the name of the master who interpreted my fortune yesterday?"

“That’s Master Pude. What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong with the fortune he interpreted for you?”

"There's nothing wrong with it, I just want to ask a few questions. Do you know him? Tell me about him."

Chen Yuancheng recalled: "When I stayed here before, I was only familiar with the abbot and the head monk. I wasn't very familiar with the other monks. I had only heard about them from the two of them."

If I remember correctly, Master Pude was introverted and steady, even somewhat taciturn. He became a monk in middle age and lived in the temple ever since, never leaving the mountain again. I don't know much else about him.

"Introverted? Silly?"

Xiao Yunying thought about her conversations with him during their two meetings yesterday. Why didn't she think he was introverted and dull?
