Chapter 230 Don’t dwell on the past
The carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain. Today was neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so not many people were burning incense. Zhao Zhuoxi took Jiang Jiu and climbed all the way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain.
"The Guanyin in this Guanyin temple is very powerful. She can make your wishes come true. Let's go."
Who would have thought that Jiang Jiu was already panting after walking a few steps.
This shouldn't happen. The original owner was the daughter of a general. She was very strong, but she couldn't even climb the mountain.
"I just want to go to the top of the mountain right now. I don't want to climb anymore. It's too tiring."
Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Jiang Jiu's originally pink face, which had become a little pale. He had fainted several times and his chin had become pointed due to being so thin.
He squatted in front of her and said, "Come, I'll carry you up."
Jiang Jiu smiled happily and jumped onto Zhao Zhuoxi's back.
"That's a good idea, but don't let me fall."
When Jiang Jiu jumped onto his back, Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, and she felt lighter again.
The mountain was not very high, and Zhao Zhuoxi, who practiced martial arts, carried her on his back as if he was playing, and they soon reached the top of the mountain.
Because we had decided in advance to stay here for two days, the host was already waiting outside the door.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zhuoxi coming, he shouted "Amitabha" and led the person to the back.
"Donor, please take a rest first, and then pay your respects to the Bodhisattva."
Zhao Zhuoxi was indeed tired, after all, he was carrying a living person on his back. However, he was carrying his beloved one, so he had plenty of strength.
Just as he was about to ask Jiang Jiu, he saw Jiang Jiu jump off his back and point to the Bodhi tree not far away and ask: "Can I make a wish there? I see a lot of wishing strips."
The abbot smiled kindly, and a little monk came over carrying two trays.
"You can write your wishes here and hang them on the branches. Your wishes will surely come true."
"Okay, let's go there and make a wish first."
Jiang Jiu pulled Zhao Zhuoxi to the Bodhi tree, and the little monk followed with a tray.
Jiang Jiu picked up a pen and wrote on the red cloth: May you have a smooth life, good health and longevity.
She had just finished writing and was about to go see Zhao Zhuoxi's.
Zhao Zhuoxi did not hide anything and showed it to her openly.
"The country will be forever secure and the people will live in peace and happiness."
"You are such a good emperor. You don't pray for yourself, but for the people. You have a vision."
Zhao Zhuoxi smiled slightly: "Let me see yours..."
Jiang Jiu hid behind him: "If you don't show it to me, it won't work if I show it to you..."
Zhao Zhuoxi did not force her. He seemed to have returned to the past in a trance. At that time, he was Lu Yunyang. He had just made a lot of money from a bet with Jiang Jiu and was preparing to go to Sucheng.
Before leaving, Jiang Jiu and I both thought of going to the Guanyin Temple to worship.
Jiang Jiu also wrote down his wishes and blessings here. He also wrote it.
Likewise, Jiang Jiu didn't show it to him, but at that time, he didn't show it to Jiang Jiu either, and the two of them had some fun together for a while.
Things have changed and people have changed. Jiang Jiu has now forgotten him.
Zhao Zhuoxi threw it upwards with force, and his wish note got hung on the tree.
Jiang Jiu also threw it up with force, but not only did her wish note not get hung on the tree, it knocked someone else's wish note down instead.
"Hey, it fell off. Let me take a look."
"Making a lot of money and becoming the richest man is such a great wish. Jiang Jiu..."
She actually has the same name as her.
Jiang Jiu raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhuoxi, and felt dizzy.
Then Zhao Zhuoxi hugged her all of a sudden: "Ronghua, Ronghua, don't faint, hold on."
A bitter and sweet medicine was stuffed into Jiang Jiu's mouth.
Jiang Jiu's mind felt clearer.
"Why is your face so pale?"
Zhao Zhuoxi was so frightened that he was shaking all over. Chu Yu said that if Jiang Jiu fainted again, he would probably stay in the coma for longer and longer and would never wake up again.
He didn't dare to gamble.
"You scared me, what happened?"
Jiang Jiu handed the wish note to Zhao Zhuoxi. Zhao Zhuoxi took a look at the signature and it happened to be the same wish note that Jiang Jiu had made last time.
"Jiang Jiu, this is the owner of Yiye Pianzhou, the richest man in Jiangnan. Xiangxian is her hometown. It seems that her wish has come true."
Jiang Jiu couldn't lie to himself at this time.
"Is there another Jiang Jiu at this time?"
There was something wrong with this question, but Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi didn't notice it either.
Zhao Zhuoxi nodded. He decided to lie to her so that she would never pursue the matter again.
She is her, the new Jiang Jiu.
"Yes, she was originally the daughter of the Jiang family. She was ranked ninth when she was born, and happened to be born on September 9th, so her full name is Jiang Yao and her nickname is Jiuer. In other words, Jiang Jiu."
Jiang Jiu's eyes flashed. What a coincidence! She was also born on September 9th.
It seems that the two of them do have a connection.
Zhao Zhuoxi added: "Thirty-five years ago, after she got married, her husband's family died, and she started doing business, making salt, sugar, glass, and toilets. She did a lot of strange things that made life very convenient."
"So she made a lot of money, but strangely, she used the money she made to buy land and houses. She had land and houses in almost every city."
Jiang Jiu was shocked. This person must be a time traveler.
Only people from the modern era like to buy houses when they make money. It is almost a habit ingrained in them.
Zhao Zhuoxi continued: "So she became the richest person in Jiangnan. Later, she went to the capital and met my third brother. However, my third brother had already married and had children. She didn't want to be a mistress, so she returned to Suzhou."
Jiang Jiu nodded. The women there were not willing to be mistresses of men.
What's more, she has become the richest person in Jiangnan.
"What happened next?"
Zhao Zhuoxi added: "Later, her business grew bigger and bigger, attracting the covetousness of many people. My third brother secretly protected her. She never married and had no children in her lifetime. When she died, she gave all her property to my third brother."
"My third brother was devastated by her death and died not long after. Before he died, he entrusted all his properties to me."
"At that time, my eldest brother was incompetent and the government was controlled by the empress and her family. In order to prevent the court from falling into the hands of another family, I went to the capital to negotiate with my eldest brother and the empress. In the end, I cleared the emperor's entourage and ascended the throne."
Jiang Jiu had no impression of what he said, he just took it as it was.
Nodding: "It's not easy for you either. I didn't expect your third brother to be so affectionate."
Jiang Jiu suddenly had an idea: "So, are you also secretly in love with her?"
"What?" Zhao Zhuoxi was slightly stunned. He actually didn't understand what Jiang Jiu meant.
Jiang Jiu chuckled, "I mean, since you have been living in Su City, you must have seen her. Since she is so attractive, are you secretly in love with her? It's just that you two have a huge age gap and she is your third brother's lover, so you buried this love deep in your heart."
Zhao Zhuoxi's face darkened and a black line appeared on his forehead.
This girl's brain circuit is really too complicated, but this just explains why he always looks at others through her.
Zhao Zhuoxi gritted his teeth and actually agreed to this statement.
"Yeah, a secret crush."
Jiang Jiu understood: "That's right, I was wondering, you always look at me like someone else, it turns out... it's her..."
Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly said gloomily: "But she is a soul from another world..."
