Su Huaiyue looked in the direction of her finger and saw a corner of the eaves faintly exposed in the depths of the bamboo forest. She smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go sit in the pavilion and rest for a while."
When they arrived at the pavilion, they saw several stone tables and benches placed inside. On the pillars was a couplet engraved: "The bamboo shadows sweep the steps, leaving no dust; the moon shines through the bottom of the pond, leaving no trace."
Su Huaiyue looked at the couplet and couldn't help but admire it: "The calligraphy is so good, and the artistic conception is beautiful."
Wei San's wife said, "The monks of Chenglu Temple are really elegant. They built such a pavilion in the bamboo forest and wrote such a beautiful couplet."
Everyone sat down in the pavilion. Su Huaiyue looked at the surrounding bamboo forest and suddenly felt a sense of emotion. She said softly, "This bamboo is evergreen and tenacious, just like our Wei family. Although we have experienced some setbacks, as long as we unite as one, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and regain our vitality like this bamboo."
After hearing this, the women of the Wei family nodded, with determination flashing in their eyes.
The old lady looked at Su Huaiyue with satisfaction and nodded secretly in her heart, feeling that this granddaughter-in-law was becoming more and more independent.
After resting for a while, Wei Che came back with the monk. The monk said that the vegetarian meal was ready, so everyone followed him to the temple's dining hall.
There are several long tables in the dining hall, which are filled with various vegetarian dishes, including fried beans, stewed tofu, cold cucumbers, etc. Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they look delicious.
Everyone sat down, and the monk served them rice. Su Huaiyue picked up the bowl and said to the monk, "Master, thank you for your help."
The monk smiled slightly and said, "Donors, you're welcome. Amitabha."
Everyone started eating. Wei Yunrou tasted the stir-fried beans and said in surprise, "These beans are really delicious."
Mrs. Wei also picked up a piece of tofu, put it in her mouth and chewed it, then nodded and said, "This tofu is stewed very well. I didn't expect the vegetarian food in the temple to be so delicious."
Su Huaiyue was very happy to see everyone eating with gusto. She said to the monk, "Master, this vegetarian meal is really well prepared. The chefs in your temple are really good."
The monk put his hands together and said, "Thank you for your kindness, benefactor. These are vegetables grown by the monks in our temple. They are all natural and safe to eat."
Everyone ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The old lady looked at this happy scene with a happy smile on her face. She felt that this trip to Chenglu Temple was really the right one. Not only did they worship Buddha, but it also made the Wei family more united.
After finishing the vegetarian meal, everyone wandered around the temple for a while and then prepared to go back down the mountain.
Before leaving, Su Huaiyue walked to the clear spring and filled a bottle with some spring water. She wanted to take it back to make tea for Madam Wei.
Wei Che saw her actions and walked up to her and asked, "What are you doing with this spring water?"
Su Huaiyue smiled slightly, "This spring water is sweet and delicious. I will take it back to make tea for my grandmother. She will definitely like it."
Wei Che nodded and said, "You are so thoughtful. Grandmother is so lucky to have you taking care of her."
Su Huaiyue chuckled and then asked, "Why don't you ask for a fortune today?"
"I don't believe in this thing. Even if I pray, what's the use? My life is my own decision."
Looking at his determined look, Su Huaiyue felt emotional. It was just as the book said, he never believed in fate.
But come to think of it, if he really believed in fate and stayed in Youzhou, 3,000 miles away from the capital, his whole life, there would probably not be such a prominent mention of him in history books.
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Che's determined look, and a ripple appeared in her heart.
She nodded slightly and said, "You are quite right. Destiny is indeed in our own hands. Asking for divination is just a way to gain peace of mind."
As they were talking, Wei Yunrou came running over, "Sister-in-law, brother, you're here, everyone is getting ready to go down the mountain!"
She grabbed Su Huaiyue's hand and urged.
On the way down the mountain, everyone was still laughing and talking.
Wei Yunrou chattered like a little sparrow, sharing her new discoveries in the temple. Sometimes she talked about the majesty of the Buddha statue, and sometimes she talked about interesting things in the bamboo forest, making everyone laugh from time to time.
Old Madam Wei sat in the sedan chair, listening to the laughter of her grandchildren, her face full of happy smiles.
She looked at Su Huaiyue and Wei Che walking beside her, thought to herself, and sighed slightly. It was a pity that this worldly perspective was probably a gap that was difficult to cross.
When I got home, it was getting dark.
Outside the window, the sun was setting, and its afterglow sprinkled on the courtyard of Wei's house, giving everything a golden glow.
Although everyone in the Wei family looked a little tired, their faces were filled with satisfaction.
Su Huaiyue returned to the room and took out some incense ash she brought back from the temple. It was said that the incense ash had special effects. She planned to study it to see if it could be incorporated into the production of beauty cream.
After Su Huaiyue finished packing her things, she came to Madam Wei's room.
Madam Wei was sitting by the bed, looking out the window at the night. Su Huaiyue said softly, "Grandma, you must be tired today. Go to bed early."
Madam Wei turned her head and looked at Su Huaiyue with a smile, "I'm not tired. I went to Chenglu Temple today and I feel much more at ease. Huaiyue, you and Che'er..."
The old lady hesitated to speak.
Su Huaiyue understood what the old lady meant. She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Grandma, don't worry. Wei Che and I understand our responsibilities. We will work hard for the future of the Wei family."
Madam Wei patted Su Huaiyue's hand gently. She knew that their young people's affairs would not be resolved by her words, so she could only nod and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you understand what's going on."
After coming out of the old lady's room, Su Huaiyue came to the yard and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Wei Che came out from nowhere, his voice like the gurgling water in this cool night, penetrating into people's hearts, "What are you thinking about?"
Hearing the sound, Su Huaiyue suddenly came back to his senses and was shocked.
Could it be possible that I was thinking about him?
After shuddering, Su Huaiyue replied, "I didn't think about anything, it was just about the shop."
For some reason, she felt guilty and didn't dare to meet Wei Che's eyes.
After a few seconds, he came back to his senses and took out a small water bottle from his sleeve and handed it to him. "I added some medicine to this water. Seeing that your leg disease relapsed a few days ago, it should be effective."
This is the upgraded spiritual spring water, and Su Huaiyue doesn’t know what specific effect it has.
Wei Che didn't think about it at all, he just picked it up and drank it all. As soon as Su Huaiyue finished speaking, his small pot of spiritual spring water went into his stomach.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison it?" Su Huaiyue laughed.
