Chapter 36——Mr. Xu who believes in Yue Lao.
In the photo, the man is tall and slender, his long eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes, and his bony fingertips are pinching the red silk, wrapping it carefully.
She posted the photo on her Moments with a caption.
——Mr. Xu who believes in Yue Lao.
This was the first time that Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't help but want to share Xu Heyi's record in her world.
After strolling along the way and returning to the room, Jiang Nuanzhu took a nap for a while.
Xu Heyi went to play chess and chat with Mr. Xu.
After Jiang Nuanzhu woke up, he went to look for them. They had just finished playing chess and were enjoying the Prajna soup sent by an old friend.
Buddhism forbids monks from drinking alcohol. Some monks drank alcohol secretly, and to avoid taboos, they called the wine "Prajna soup."
However, this type of wine has been developed and modified by later generations, and in the end only the name is retained.
Jiang Nuanzhu sat aside and listened quietly to the conversation between them, staring at the cup of Prajna soup for a moment.
Grandpa Xu smiled and asked someone to pour a cup for Jiang Nuanzhu to try as well.
"This wine is not strong in alcohol and tastes sweet. Nuanzhu, you can try it."
Xu Heyi poured her a glass.
But no one expected that Jiang Nuanzhu was too weak in alcohol tolerance. After one glass, he began to feel dizzy and leaned towards Xu Heyi.
Xu Heyi didn't talk for a few words. When he lowered his head, he saw Mrs. Xu leaning on his arm, swaying.
Her cheeks are rosy, her eyes are watery, and the corners of her eyes are red.
He moved his throat slightly, "Grandpa, Nuanzhu seems drunk, I'll send him back first."
"Go ahead. I didn't expect this girl couldn't drink at all."
Jiang Nuanzhu was drunk and remained drowsy until the next day.
The next morning, she asked Xu Heyi: "I was drunk yesterday, didn't I lose my composure?"
The old man and another elderly person were present at the time, and Jiang Nuanzhu felt embarrassed when he thought that he was drunk.
She can actually drink quite a lot, but who knew that the wine last night tasted soft but had such a strong aftertaste.
Xu Heyi: "No. You are very good."
Jiang Nuanzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a little confused, "Did you sleep very late last night?"
Xu Heyi's eyes moved slightly, "Why do you ask?"
"When you came to bed last night, I felt a little cold. I thought you went out in the middle of the night."
Jiang Nuanzhu vaguely remembered that she was sleeping soundly when the quilt next to her was suddenly lifted and a cold air rushed in. She vaguely cried out that she was cold.
I was not clear-headed at the time and thought Xu Heyi had gone out in the middle of the night, so I went to bed feeling cold.
The answer she got was Xu Heyi's long silence.
While having breakfast, Jiang Nuanzhu found out that Xu Hezhi had somehow found out that she and Xu Heyi went to a Western restaurant to eat steak at noon, and ran to the old man to complain.
As a result, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was also scolded by the old man.
Jiang Nuanzhu stirred the porridge and asked quietly, "Is your relationship with your eldest brother not very good?"
Xu Heyi said calmly, "When my mom and dad divorced, the Xu and Zhang families agreed that only I could inherit the Xu Group, and no one else could get involved."
Jiang Nuanzhu opened her mouth and suddenly understood why Mrs. Xu was so busy with her two children.
Since I can't get any shares, I can only try my best to please the old man and Mr. Xu, so as to get more property in the future.
Jiang Nuanzhu hesitated to speak: "Have they ever thought about having to work under you in the future?"
If they offend Xu Heyi to death, how can these people live a good life?
Xu Heyi picked up a dumpling for her and asked, "What do you think?"
Jiang Nuanzhu poked the dumplings and asked, "Is there any hidden story behind what happened back then?"
Xu Heyi felt helpless when he saw her gossipy look on her face.
"Eat first."
"Oh, okay."
Jiang Nuanzhu finished her meal obediently, but Xu Heyi had no time to tell her a story.
When Aunt Xu heard that the two did not worship Buddha yesterday, she got up early in the morning and took Jiang Nuanzhu to several temples to burn incense.
Especially the several halls related to praying for children and marriage, Aunt Xu and Jiang Nuanzhu visited them all.
After I finished worshipping and went out, I saw Aunt Xu talking to a monk.
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhu, he smiled and said, "Nuanzhu, are you done with your worship?"
Jiang Nuanzhu nodded, "Aunt, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm planning to donate some money for incense." She glanced at Jiang Nuanzhu's belly and said with emotion: "If this Buddha is really effective, I will gild it."
Jiang Nuanzhu looked at Xu Heyi awkwardly.
There was also a hint of helplessness in Xu Heyi's eyes.
Aunt Xu was very excited: "Since we are already here, we might as well visit all the Buddhist temples here. Sincerity is the key to success."
Jiang Nuanzhu had no choice but to follow, and on the way she met Mrs. Xu with her two children.
Mrs. Xu suddenly said, "Heyi, your father was just looking for you. He seemed to have something to tell you."
Xu Heyi glanced at Jiang Nuanzhu.
Jiang Nuanzhu was lighting incense in the main hall, with her back to him. Aunt Xu waved her hand and said, "I'm here, don't worry."
"Then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
"We're one family, but we still have different opinions?"
Madam Xu pulled Aunt Xu aside and said, "Anan, your eldest brother doesn't want to accompany us to worship Buddha, so why don't we join him?"
Before Aunt Xu had time to refuse, Mrs. Xu had already followed her, bringing her two children with her.
Jiang Nuanzhu was intoxicated by the smoke in the hall and came out with red eyes, "Aunt, I'm done."
She glanced around but didn't see Xu Heyi. "Aunt, where is Heyi?"
Aunt Xu: "Heyi was called away by his father. He will probably come over soon."
The younger sister Xu Hezhi happily pulled Jiang Nuanzhu's sleeve and said, "Second sister-in-law, the temple below is less crowded, let's go to the temple below!"
Going down a flight of stairs is a low temple that doesn't look very popular.
Jiang Nuanzhu was not used to Xu Hezhi's enthusiasm and was about to refuse when she heard Mrs. Xu waving her hand and saying with a smile, "You young people, go and have fun by yourselves. You don't have to follow me."
Aunt Xu glanced at the distance and said, "It's okay. I can see you just by looking up. We'll come find you after we finish discussing things with the master."
Everyone was so happy, Jiang Nuanzhu didn't want to spoil the fun, so she followed Xu Hezhi downstairs.
The stone steps leading down the wall were a bit steep and narrow, with no guardrails on the outside. Xu Hezhi said with fear, "Second sister-in-law, won't we slip down?"
"It should be fine if you walk slowly."
"Then I'll follow you."
Jiang Nuanzhu had no doubts and said, "Okay."
Jiang Nuanzhu had good balance and walked smoothly, but when he was halfway there, his foot suddenly slipped and he slid directly down the stairs.
Xu Hezhi was so frightened that she screamed, "Ah! Second sister-in-law, are you okay?!"
Jiang Nuanzhu slipped down two flights of stairs and sat down on the stone steps, his face pale with pain.
Fortunately, she had experienced a lot of pain when practicing dancing before, so she was able to stay sober and rational. She touched the stone steps and felt a greasy texture.
Aunt Xu rushed over at that moment and asked, "Nuanzhu, are you okay?"
Jiang Nuanzhu spread out her fingertips and said calmly, "Auntie, there is oil on the steps."
"Oil? How could there be oil on the road?" Aunt Xu's eyes narrowed and her gaze immediately fell on Xu Hezhi beside her.
Xu Hezhi was young and had no acting skills. Her eyes were filled with guilt. "Auntie, why are you looking at me? There are so many people coming to the temple. Maybe someone accidentally poured oil here."
She spread out her hands and said confidently, "I was two steps away from my second sister-in-law at the time, and I didn't even touch her!"
It would have been fine if she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, Aunt Xu had the answer in her mind.
