Su Qingyu teased him with a smile, "I think Prince Ning doesn't need to repair your mansion. I can just build you a thatched hut on this mountain."
Shen Yue said coquettishly: "I didn't marry him for fame or fortune, and I don't mind any house."
Yang looked at her lovingly, thinking that she was still an innocent little girl. If only she could marry the right man and live a carefree life.
April 18th is a major Buddhist day, and the Shen family had already reserved a courtyard in the Huguo Temple.
After everyone got off the car, Feicui turned around and left calmly without attracting any attention.
After entering the courtyard, Yang said to Su Qingyu, "Mrs. Qin and I have an appointment to go to appreciate the flowers together in the afternoon, and let the two children see them as well."
"It's still early, let's go burn incense first and have a vegetarian meal here at noon."
Su Qingyu came here specifically to accompany Yang, so naturally she would do whatever Yang said.
Afterwards, Su Qingyu and Yang went around to worship Buddha, while Chen Cheng took Shen Yue to light the eternal lamp for Shen Zhiheng's family of three.
After the brother and sister finished lighting the eternal lamp, Chen Cheng took his sister for a walk. It was a rare trip, so it would be nice to relax.
Huguo Temple is always bustling with activity during these large temple fairs. In the shade of the front entrance, many small vendors set up stalls to sell small items.
The vendors were also able to talk, and every three sentences they spoke were about Buddhism. It was as if the silver hairpin had entered the Huguo Temple and wearing it would ward off evil spirits.
Everyone knew it was just a bunch of nonsense from the vendors, but they also thought it was a good omen, and the prices were pretty much the same as elsewhere, so quite a few people bought it.
The little girls naturally liked these. Even though Shen Yue was used to wearing nice things, she still found these little gadgets novel.
He picked up a silver bracelet, put it on his hand, raised his wrist and asked Chen Cheng, "What do you think, second brother? Does it look good?"
Chen Cheng nodded, "It looks good, my second brother will buy it for you."
This silver bracelet wasn't particularly well made, but it looked good. Considering the Shen family's status, servants often wore better items than this.
But it was rare for Shen Yue to be in a good mood, so Shen Cheng naturally wouldn't spoil her fun.
Shen Yue took the bracelet and couldn't let it go. It wasn't because the item was so good, but in a place like this, full of the atmosphere of everyday life, these little things could fill the gaps in people's hearts.
She put on the bracelet and began to look at a wooden hairpin beside her. Shen Yue could tell at a glance that the wood of the carved hairpin was the finest agarwood, yet it was only priced at ten coins.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she felt the excitement of discovering a treasure. She reached out and grabbed the head of the wooden hairpin, and suddenly a hand reached out from the opposite side and grabbed the tail of the hairpin.
Shen Yue raised her head and found that there was another girl who also liked the hairpin.
The girl was wearing a long goose-yellow brocade dress, with an almond-shaped face and willow-shaped eyebrows. She had a scholarly air, and her side eyes were lively and playful, adding a touch of playfulness.
Seeing this, the girl smiled sheepishly, then let go and said, "Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
Shen Yue didn't have the nerve to snatch it from others, and since the other party was so polite, she would naturally be even more polite.
"Sister, buy it. I'm just looking around."
Seeing that the girl was still hesitant, Shen Yue stepped forward and whispered, "Sister, hurry up and buy it. The material is good and it's worth buying. Let's be more humble and let someone else buy it."
After Shen Yue finished speaking, she winked at her. Judging from the man's clothing, it was obvious that this was top-quality agarwood.
Seeing this, the girl also smiled knowingly.
Seeing that Chen Yue was sincere in giving in, and she really liked it, he didn't hesitate.
He smiled gratefully at Chen Yue, took out a copper coin and bought the hairpin.
Shen Yue didn't care and continued walking forward and strolling.
Under the nearby locust tree, there's a small red sign for marriage. It's said that tying it to a branch of the tree is very effective. The higher you tie it, the more effective it is.
Chen Yue stood under the tree, took a few steps back and looked up, and all she saw was patches of red.
She raised her wrist to block the glaring sunlight.
Then, a woman's voice came from not far away, "Chen Yue, what right did you have to cancel my cousin's marriage? How has my cousin wronged you?"
Shen Yue didn't need to turn around to recognize who it was. Thinking of the purpose of coming today, she suddenly felt a pang of frustration.
No one knows who arranged this marriage, but if her second brother really marries Qin Yingxin, she will have to go to the second house less often in the future.
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng turned around and looked at the person who spoke, frowning subconsciously.
Just as he was about to speak, a girl suddenly came over. Shen Cheng recognized her as the girl who had just given up the hairpin to Shen Yue.
"She called off her marriage to your cousin. What does that have to do with you?"
"Marriage is a matter of parents' decision and matchmaker's words, so my cousin has no right to interfere. This..." At this point, she asked Shen Yue, "What's your last name, sister?"
Shen Yue hurriedly said: "My last name is Shen."
The girl nodded and continued, “Miss Shen withdrew her marriage with your cousin, that’s naturally… because your cousin is not good enough.”
Qin Yingxin didn't recognize the person in front of her, but his words made her furious, "How dare you talk like that? My cousin is the King of Xuanwu, and all the women in the world are worthy of him."
In Qin Yingxin's heart, Zhang Pan is the best man in the world. Anyone who says Zhang Pan is not good is trying to make things difficult for her.
Shen Yue was asking the girl in a low voice at this time.
"My last name is Shen, what's your last name, sister?"
"My last name is Xie, and my name is Xie Huanci."
After Shen Yue asked this question, she happened to hear Qin Yingxin's words.
She turned to Qin Yingxin and said, "Miss Qin, you can ask King Xuanwu why we broke off our engagement. I'm getting married soon, so I shouldn't be a bother to Miss Qin anymore."
When she was still engaged to Zhang Pan, Qin Yingxin had often troubled her. She had always thought that Qin Yingxin was attracted to Zhang Pan, so why was she still upset about him? Shen Yue was puzzled.
Qin Yingxin felt even more sorry for Zhang Pan when she heard this. She heard about her cousin and Shen Yue after she returned to Beijing.
At first, she was quite happy when she heard that the two had broken off the engagement. But when she heard that her cousin wanted to renew the engagement and the Shen family refused, she felt sorry for her cousin.
My cousin is such a good person, why doesn't Shen Yue want to renew the engagement?
Even though Zhang Pan has lost an arm now, Qin Yingxin still thinks he is the best man in the world and worthy of being the princess.
She came to Huguo Temple today to pray for a good marriage for her cousin so that he could forget what happened before.
"Chen Yue, you are just relying on my cousin's love for you. You... you have nothing to be proud of."
Qin Yingxin's words confused Shen Yue again. Was she arrogant?
She and Zhang Pan no longer had any connection, so naturally she didn't want to argue with Qin Yingxin.
He glanced at Qin Yingxin calmly and said, "If you care about your cousin, just drag him to your room and care about him. Don't talk to me about this."
Xie Huanci chuckled, "Sister Shen, that's a great point."
Qin Yingxin is spoiled by nature, but she doesn't have any bad intentions.
After hearing what Shen Yue said, I don't know why, but I started to cry out of grievance.
This actually scared Shen Yue, and she quickly asked, "You...why are you crying? I didn't say anything excessive."
If the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo saw this, she would think that she and her second brother were working together to bully others.
