Luo Lingyu: "No, wait! How can we enter a temple without paying for incense? Brother Xuechen, let's go and worship the Buddha."

Lu Yun glanced at her: "...Should I give you money for the incense?"

Luo Lingyu laughed angrily and hit him on the waist: "What are you talking about? How could I take advantage of you? And I know Brother Xuechen doesn't carry any money when he goes out."

Lu Yun was very smart and was not fooled by her at all. He asked jokingly, "You mean, use the money in the account books I gave you before?"

Luo Lingyu's face turned red, but she insisted: "I earned the money for you! You should give me some dividends."

Lu Yun said "Oh" and walked with her. After walking for a while, he asked again: "What are you asking for?"

Luo Lingyu: "Pray for a good marriage..."

Lu Yun: “…”

He said, "A good marriage includes but is not limited to me, right?"

Lu Yun was incredulous, so he pulled her back, grabbed her face, and asked fiercely, "You used my money to donate to incense offerings, but the marriage you prayed for may not even be with me... Sister Yu'er, how can you be so shameless?"

Luo Lingyu's face was pinched by him and it hurt. She groaned and covered her face: "Don't pinch my face all the time, it hurts..."

…

The young man leaned over and bullied the girl, forcing her to retreat step by step.

Mrs. Chen Xiu, who came to the temple alone to worship Buddha because she had no lover, stood behind a pine tree, looking at Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu in despair. It was the first time that Chen Xiu saw Lu Sanlang being so frivolous as to bully a girl.

I heard him teasing the girl: "Do you remember your wish to be a dodder?"

The girl whispered: "Now I want to..."

Lu Yun said, "I advise you to give up. With your stubbornness, you will never be able to become a dodder in your lifetime."

Luo Lingyu was so angry that she pinched his waist hard and said loudly: "I want to! What do you care?"

The girl with a thin waist and a full chest turned around and walked away, and Lu Yun chased after her.

Chen Xiu stood under the tree, feeling lost.

The maid whispered: "Girl, shall we go?"

Chen Xiu remained silent, bit her lip and said, "No, I want to see clearly."

She was a very stubborn person - she wouldn't give up until she saw it with her own eyes.

She had to see if Lu Yun really liked his cousin from the country.

Chapter 83

Green forests cast shadows, mountains and rivers serve as screens. Under the eaves of the house are ponds and forests.

Chen Xiu was not far behind them, watching Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu walking and strolling. Kaishan Temple was not small among the many temples in Jianye. The man and woman were very patient. They went into the Buddhist hall to worship and made wishes when they saw the Bodhisattva. They were so greedy that Chen Xiu, who was following behind them, pursed her lips.

She had always been aloof and proud, and had never seen such a person before. Lu Sanlang was obviously the same as her before, but now he had changed. It must be his cousin who was causing trouble.

Chen Xiu thought again, I heard that Jiang Wanyi, the wife of Jiang, also went to live with the Lu family. How come Luo Lingyu was still so proud of herself after all this? Jiang Wanyi was so loved by the elders of the Lu family, couldn't she suppress Luo Lingyu?

This woman is terrible.

Chen Xiu had been criticizing Luo Lingyu for a long time, thinking that Lu Sanlang had been seduced by a scheming vixen who only had beauty. But she looked more closely and saw that the two were led by a little monk into the residence of a master. Before entering the door, the little monk was flustered by Luo Lingyu and accidentally tripped the rose bonsai at the door. The flower branch swayed and slanted, and there were thorns on the branch. Lu Yun directly reached out, with his sleeves falling, to block the thorn for Luo Lingyu. Neither Luo Lingyu nor the little monk noticed.

The beautiful girl stepped over the threshold, smiling and talking to the little monk with her head tilted, unaware of what Lu Yun on the other side had done for her.

The flower branch did not prick Luo Lingyu, and the girl went into the inner hall. Chen Xiu watched Lu Yun's left hand brushing against his right hand, and there was a faint trace of blood on his right fingertips. But the distance was a bit far, so Chen Xiu could not see clearly. When she wanted to take a closer look, Lu Yun had already casually shaken his hand, his robe fell, and his slender back disappeared at the door.

Chen Xiu became even more sad: she had known Lu Sanlang for so many years, but she had never seen Lu Sanlang take care of a girl like this?

Usually, the girls wanted to take care of him, but he avoided them like a ferocious beast.

Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu stayed inside for about half an hour before coming out. When they came out, Luo Lingyu was holding a purse in her hand. Chen Xiu quickly hid behind a tree and watched the two of them walking along the single-sided corridor against the wall. The shadows of the trees swayed and shone on the colorful windows. The light floating on the handsome man and woman was like the movement of water plants, rippling and soft.

The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, the man is tall and straight, the woman is graceful, what a perfect match.

At the end of the corridor, there is a pond not far away. Two days after the Tanabata Festival, it is the Ullambana Festival, which is extremely important to Buddhism. During the Ullambana Festival, there has always been a tradition of placing lanterns on the water and praying for the deceased. Kaishan Temple has already begun to prepare for the Ullambana Festival in a few days. Beside the pond, there are neatly arranged exquisite lanterns. Most of them are lotus lanterns, and there are also a few of other shapes. These lanterns are placed in rows, prepared for the believers who come to Kaishan Temple on the day of the Ullambana Festival.

The corridor ended, Lu Yun lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and Luo Lingyu was also nervous as she held her purse. She saw the lanterns placed by the pool and found a topic to talk about. She pointed at the lanterns and said to Lu Yun, "You know, my second cousin seems to believe in past lives and present lives, and often goes to the temple. These two days I heard from his maid that my second cousin wants to convert and become a lay Buddhist. My aunt is going crazy. I saw that my second cousin will come here to offer Buddha lamps during the Ullambana Festival in two days."

Lu Yun said nothing.

Luo Lingyu looked at him quietly, her beautiful eyes flickering, and her voice became softer: "When the time comes, can we come here too?"

She reached out and gently hooked Lu Yun's sleeve.

Lu Yun lowered his head, his eyes slowly falling on her hand that was pulling at his sleeve. His eyes wavered slightly, starlight shone, his lips moved, but he still didn't say anything for a long time.

Luo Lingyu frowned, wondering: Why didn't he agree to go to the Yulan Festival together? Did he not like her? But he spent the Qixi Festival with her and tied her colorful ribbon on his hand. This must have a deeper meaning than the Yulan Festival, right? He even spent the Qixi Festival with her, but didn't go to the Yulan Festival? Could it be that Lu Yun didn't like Buddhism?
