Chapter 225: Marriage
The grass is green and the sun is scorching!
The weather in June was already very hot. The official road from the capital to Fatan Temple was full of pilgrims going to Fatan Temple to pay homage.
Some were riding in sedan chairs, some were riding on horses, and some were riding in carriages like the Yuan family. There was a constant stream of people coming and going!
"Second cousin, there are so many people going to Fatan Temple to burn incense!" Cui Ruxun gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside with a look of interest.
This time, because the Cui sisters were going to Fatan Temple together, the Yuan family sent out two carriages. One was for Yuan Ziyu and the Cui sisters, and the other was for Qingying, Qingzhi and the Cui sisters' personal maids.
Yuan Ziyu smiled when she heard this: "Second cousin, this isn't even the bustle yet. When we get to the foot of the Fatan Temple, you'll know what true excitement is!"
"Ah, really!" Cui Ruxun opened his eyes wide, looking at the bustling traffic outside, his face full of excitement: "I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Yeah!" Cui Ruxu also looked out the window curiously: "I thought this was lively enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more lively."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "There are many lively places in the capital. If you stay in the capital for a while, I will take you to see them. When the fruits on my farm are ripe, I will take you to pick them!"
"Really? That's great!" Cui Ruxun was so excited that she almost jumped up when she heard it, but she forgot she was sitting in a carriage and hit her head on the roof: "Ouch..."
"Hey, second sister, how are you?" Cui Ruxu was startled when she saw it and hurried over to check.
Yuan Ziyu didn't expect Cui Ruxun to suddenly jump up, and quickly said, "There's a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment in the small compartment over there. Hurry and apply it!"
"Hiss! It's okay, don't worry!" Cui Ruxun hissed and rubbed the hurt part. "It will be fine in a while, it's okay. Second cousin, I won't apply the ointment. Otherwise, won't I be running around with the smell of ointment on my head?"
Cui Ruxun's words made Yuan Ziyu and Cui Ruxu laugh.
Cui Ruxu said to Yuan Ziyu, "Second cousin, please don't be surprised. When Xun'er and I were in Zhanyang, we hardly ever went out. So, we've never seen such a lively scene before!"
Yuan Ziyou was surprised when he heard this: "Huh? You don't go out much? Why? Don't you feel too bored? It's so boring to stay at home!"
Yuan Ziyu was used to running around, so she naturally couldn't understand what it felt like to stay in a small yard, but if she were asked to do that, she felt that she would definitely go crazy.
Cui Ruxun rubbed the top of her head and said, "Second cousin, it's not that my elder sister and I don't want to go out, it's our grandmother who won't let us go out at all. She says that ladies from wealthy families should not go out of the main gate or the back door. How can we be considered ladies if we don't do that? What a shameless lady! Her own granddaughters go out all the time, and she doesn't even try to stop us!"
"Xun'er, don't be rude to your grandmother! And... don't say those obscene words!" Cui Ruxu quickly stopped Cui Ruxun from speaking.
"What grandmother? She's not my biological mother, but she's so nosy. I think she does it on purpose!" Cui Ruxun pouted and snorted.
"Xun'er!" Cui Ruxu sighed and was about to say something else when Yuan Ziyu interrupted her: "Okay, let's not talk about those unhappy things. Now that you are in the capital, it is not difficult to go out. As long as you have a maid to accompany you, it will be fine. There will be many lively scenes like this in the future."
"That's right, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore. I get so angry when I talk about Zhan Yang. I'm in a good mood today because I'm going to burn incense. I don't want to be ruined by those shitty things!" Cui Ruxun said hurriedly.
"Xun'er, where did you learn those nonsense? Don't say them anymore!" Cui Ruxu couldn't help but frowned.
“Okay, okay, okay!” Cui Ruxun saw Cui Ruxu frowning and said quickly, “No more, no more!”
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. I didn't say it in front of outsiders, so it's okay!"
Cui Ruxu then said to Yuan Ziyu, "Second cousin, please forgive me for making fun of you. I was just worried that this girl would let it slip and accidentally say it in front of outsiders. That would be terrible!"
"I believe my second cousin will definitely know her limits!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right!" Cui Ruxun nodded quickly and said, "Sister, don't worry. Who am I? I will definitely not give anyone a handle!"
"Hey, you!" Cui Ruxu shook her head helplessly, but didn't say anything else!
After more than an hour, the carriage stopped on the official road not far from Fatan Temple. From here to the foot of the mountain of Fatan Temple, there were various stalls and small vendors selling various small items. The carriage could not pass through. If you want to go to Fatan Temple, you can only get off and walk!
Qingying and a few others hurriedly got off the carriage and came over to help Yuan Ziyu and the other two get down.
Yuan Ziyu asked the coachman to pick them up in two days, and then took the Cui sisters to Fatan Temple!
"Fine incense! Come and see!"
“Vegetarian food, delicious vegetarian food, come and try it!”
"A marriage knot, a beautiful and festive marriage knot. Ladies and gentlemen, please buy one and pray for a good marriage!"
…
Various hawking sounds filled both sides of the road!
"Marriage knot?" Cui Ruxun blinked her eyes and looked curiously at the woman selling marriage knots. The woman was holding a butterfly-shaped marriage knot in her hand and trying hard to sell it.
"Yes, it's a marriage knot!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "There's an ancient tree in Fatan Temple. It's said that if you pray for marriage under the tree and throw the marriage knot onto the tree, if the marriage knots of a young man and a young woman are caught on the same branch, then the two will have a happy marriage. It is said that this has been very effective throughout the ages, so that ancient tree is also called the marriage tree."
"Ah, so effective?" Cui Ruxun opened his eyes wide in surprise.
"I don't know if it works or not, it's just a rumor!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, "Why don't you and your cousin both choose a marriage knot and see if you're compatible!"
Cui Ruxu blushed when she heard that!
Cui Ruxun said nonchalantly, "Second cousin, this is a good suggestion. My sister and I will go and choose a marriage knot!"
After saying that, he gently bumped Yuan Ziyu's shoulder and said mischievously, "Second cousin, there's no need for that!"
The Cui family only learned about Yuan Ziyu's engagement after they arrived. Tang had originally wanted to have her son and Yuan Ziyu become cousins, but seeing this, she had to give up the idea!
"Of course I don't need it!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "I'm already taken. Let's go and choose a marriage for you two!"
"These marriage knots are so beautiful!" Cui Ruxun looked left and right, feeling a little dazzled.
"It's really beautiful!" Cui Ruxu smiled and saw an orchid-like marriage knot, so she wanted to take it. As a result, her hand accidentally touched it with another hand.
"Ah, girl, I was so reckless!"
