Chapter 623, Throwing Divination Blocks
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is July 30th.
Daohua, Yan Yihan and the other two had just come out of Master Shen's yard when they ran into Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai who had just returned from outside.
Daohua immediately smiled and said, "Third brother, fourth brother, you guys are back a little early today."
Yan Wenkai replied, "Why, we came back early, and you seem unhappy?"
Daohua laughed and said, "How dare I not be happy?" Then she looked at Yan Wentao and said, "Since you're back early today, come with us to pay your respects to Grandma."
Yan Wentao smiled and nodded, then walked towards the old lady's yard with Daohua and others.
On the way, Yan Wenkai approached Daohua and said, "Big sister, tomorrow is your birthday."
Daohua looked at him with a smile: "Thank you for remembering, Fourth Brother. I'm waiting for your gift."
Yan Wenkai snorted: "How could I forget your birthday?"
Daohua blinked her eyes and asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, what are you going to give me?"
Yan Wenkai smiled mysteriously and said, "Birthday gifts are always the same. This year, Fourth Brother wants to give you something special."
Daohua's interest was successfully aroused, and even Yan Yihan and the others turned around to look over.
Yan Yile asked directly: "Fourth brother, what special gift do you want to give to big sister?"
Yan Wenkai raised his chin and said, "This year, I plan to take my older sister to Taifeng Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. Don't you think it's special?"
Yan Wentao glanced at Yan Wenkai. This guy was really shameless. It was obviously Ye Yang who proposed this idea.
When Yan Yile heard that they could go out and play, she immediately shouted, "Fourth brother, we want to go too."
Yan Wenkai looked embarrassed. "We're going to burn incense, so we'll have to get up very early. Can you guys make it? Besides, Taifeng Temple is built on Fengshan Mountain. Can you climb up?"
In order to go out and play, Yan Yile quickly agreed: "We can climb up." As he said that, he pulled Yan Yihan and Yan Yishuang, indicating that they should talk.
Yan Yihan and Yan Yishuang also wanted to go out for a walk, so they looked at Yan Wenkai eagerly.
Over the years, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao have been away from home frequently and haven't had much time to spend with their family. Seeing his three sisters looking at him eagerly, Yan Wenkai found it difficult to refuse. Finally, he could only surrender and nod, "Okay, but you must get up early tomorrow."
Yan Yile immediately smiled happily and said, "Fourth brother is the best."
Yan Yihan and Yan Yishuang also looked happy.
Seeing this, Daohua laughed a little: "Hey, shouldn't you ask my opinion first? I'm the birthday girl!"
Yan Wenkai and Yan Yile both looked at Daohua and said in unison, "Big sister, why don't you go?"
Daohua rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Tomorrow is my birthday, but I have to get up early and go hiking so early in the morning. Am I bored?" She looked at Yan Wenkai and said, "Fourth brother, how did you come up with this stupid idea?"
Yan Wenkai: “.” I wonder if it’s too late for him to say that this bad idea was proposed by Ye Yang?
Rice flowers shook their heads and walked forward.
Yan Wenkai quickly followed and said, "Big sister, didn't you have to get up this morning to practice whipping? What's wrong with climbing a mountain now?"
He made a bet with Ye Yang.
Yeyang bet that his elder sister would not go, while he bet that she would go.
If he loses, he will lose a month's dividend from Liulichang.
Yan Wentao looked at his fourth brother following Daohua happily and persuading her to go burn incense, and shook his head helplessly.
Ye Yang really has his fourth brother under control.
Thinking of how Ye Yang had proposed in his letter to the Emperor in front of him to exchange the reward for the grace of choosing his own marriage, Yan Wentao was silent for a moment: "Daohua, go ahead. We may have to go out in a few days."
Daohua stopped walking and turned to look at Yan Wentao: "Are you going out?"
Yan Wentao nodded.
Daohua: "When? How long will you be out?"
Yan Wentao shook his head: "It hasn't been decided yet."
Yan Wenkai quickly interrupted, "Yeah, we don't have much time to play together normally, and now we finally have this opportunity, you can't let us down."
Yan Yile also advised: "Yes, big sister, we haven't gone out to play with the third and fourth brothers for a long time."
Daohua looked at the two of them and said, "Alright, I can go, but I need mother's consent."
Yan Wenkai immediately smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll go talk to Mom. I guarantee she'll agree."
The group continued walking towards the old lady's yard. Yan Wenkai pulled Yan Wentao and deliberately fell a few steps behind: "How come I didn't know we were going out?"
Yan Wentao whispered, "I just received the news today."
Yan Wenkai nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
With Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai leading the way, Mrs. Li felt relieved and agreed to let Daohua and the others go to Taifeng Temple to burn incense tomorrow.
Early in the morning on the first day of August, before dawn, Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai set out with Daohua and his three companions.
In the carriage, Daohua, Yan Yihan and the other two were feeling a little sleepy because they had gotten up too early.
Daohua: "I'll lean back and take a nap for a while, you guys can do whatever you want."
Seeing this, Yan Yile also leaned on Yan Yihan's shoulder and fell asleep.
Yan Yihan and Yan Yishuang looked at each other, and they couldn't help but close their eyes out of boredom.
After dawn, we arrived at Fengshan.
The four Daohua people were awakened by Yan Wenkai.
After getting off the carriage, Daohua looked around and didn't see Xiao Yeyang, feeling a little puzzled.
She thought he would definitely come. Maybe it was him who came up with the idea of burning incense here.
"Big sister, what are you looking at?"
Yan Yile saw Daohua looking around and couldn't help but ask.
Daohua shook her head: "Nothing, just looking at the scenery here, it feels pretty good."
Yan Wentao glanced at Daohua and sighed in his heart. Daohua was finally interested in Yeyang.
Thinking of Ye Yang's identity, Yan Wentao felt a little worried. Although Ye Yang had asked the emperor for mercy, the emperor's mind was unpredictable. In addition, the Queen Mother and Prince Heping would definitely inquire about Ye Yang's marriage. He was really worried.
However, he saw Ye Yang's feelings for Daohua.
He had experienced the pain of losing his beloved and couldn't bear to see Ye Yang and Dao Hua go through the same thing.
Alas, they still need to make more achievements and improve the reputation of the Yan family.
"Third brother, let's go!"
Seeing Yan Wentao standing there stupidly, Yan Wenkai called out quickly.
Then, the brothers and sisters climbed towards the top of Fengshan Mountain.
Daohua has had good physical strength since childhood. Later, when she started practicing whipping every day, her body became lighter and more flexible. She could climb more than a thousand steps without getting red in the face or out of breath.
But Yan Yihan and the other two were not able to do so.
Looking at their three sisters sitting on the stone steps, gasping for breath, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao both felt a headache.
Daohua smiled and said, "You guys climb slowly, I'll wait for you up there." After that, she took Wang Man'er and Bishi and continued to climb up.
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao knew that Xiao Yeyang was waiting on the mountain, so they didn't chase after him.
Watching Daohua's figure gradually disappearing into the distance, Yan Yile looked envious: "Big sister, you are in such good health."
Yan Wenkai: "If you get up every morning to practice whipping like my elder sister, you can also have such a body."
Yan Yihan shook her head repeatedly: "I don't know how to whip."
Yan Wenkai: "You don't have to dance with a whip. Just get up and stretch your arms and legs. Your health will be better than it is now."
After climbing for more than half an hour, Taishan Temple appeared in Daohua's sight.
When she stood on the last step, Daohua couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and let out a long sigh.
"Whose family is this girl from? Why doesn't she look like a lady from a noble family?"
Looking at Xiao Yeyang walking towards her, fanning himself with a folding fan, Daohua glared at him coquettishly: "I knew it."
Xiao Yeyang walked over with a smile, and seeing sweat on Daohua's red cheeks, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands: "What do you know?" While saying this, he fanned her with his other hand.
Daohua snorted, pushed his hand away, took the fan from his hand and started fanning herself.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile: "You knew I would be here, right?"
Daohua glanced at him and said, "You came up with this stupid idea, didn't you? You're really smart to come climb a mountain in this hot weather."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Just treat it as exercise."
When the rice flowers had almost rested, Xiao Yeyang took her hand and walked towards the temple.
Seeing that there were no people around, Daohua couldn't help but ask, "Why is there no one around?"
Xiao Yeyang: "The temple is not accepting outside visitors this morning."
Daohua looked at him and said, "You don't have to do this."
Xiao Yeyang: "It's okay. It's so hot and there aren't many people coming to the temple to burn incense. I can be considered as donating some extra money to the temple."
Upon hearing this, Daohua stopped talking.
Soon, the two arrived at the main hall.
The monks in the hall brought two cushions and placed them in front of the Buddha, then quietly retreated.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang walked forward and both knelt on the mat.
After kneeling down, Daohua put her hands together and made a wish to the Buddha. After that, she saw Xiao Yeyang also making a wish with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but look over.
After a while, Xiao Yeyang opened his eyes.
Rice Flower quickly asked, "What wish did you make?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at her with a smile: "So what wish did you make?"
Daohua turned around and said, "Now that we've made our wish, let's go out."
Xiao Yeyang quickly grabbed Daohua who was about to stand up and said, "We haven't cast the divination blocks yet."
At this time, the monk who had left earlier came in again and handed Xiao Yeyang a pair of茭 cups.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "Do you want to go first or should I go first?"
Daohua: ".You first."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, took the茭cup in his hand, and prayed to the Buddha, "Please bless me and Daohua to finally become a couple." After reciting silently, he threw the茭cup on the ground.
The monk took a look at the hexagram and said: "The divination cups show one yin and one yang, which is very auspicious. What the donor has asked for will surely come true."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's lips curled up, and he picked up the divination cup and handed it to Daohua: "It's your turn."
Holding the divination cup, Daohua suddenly felt a little nervous. She glanced at Xiao Yeyang and also held the divination cup and prayed to the Buddha, "Please bless Xiao Yeyang and the third and fourth brothers to go out on business smoothly and safely."
After saying that, he threw the divination cup on the ground.
The monk's voice rang out again: "The divination cups show one yin and one yang, which is very auspicious. Whatever the donor wishes for will surely come true."
Upon hearing this, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both showed satisfied smiles on their faces.
