After Qin Chaoyan queued up to calculate his marriage, he turned around to see Ye Rongxu put the bamboo stick back into the stick holder with a wooden face and left in a sullen manner.
He paused, waited for the master to finish speaking, and then walked over, asking the bodyguard who had not yet left.
“What’s wrong with Xuxu?” he asked.
The bodyguard coughed softly and said, “The sign he got isn’t very good. That’s why he seems to be a bit angry.”
Qin Chaoyan was silent for a while and asked again shortly after, “Is it for marriage?”
The bodyguard froze for a moment and thought awkwardly, How would he know? He’s not a worm in the young master’s belly.
But he should have come to Guanyin Temple for this purpose, right?
“It should be.” The bodyguard hesitated.
“He is very unhappy because he got a bad fortune?” Qin Chaoyan asked again.
“Yes.” The bodyguard nodded affirmatively this time and then saw that Qin Chaoyan seemed to smile.
This is strange. The young master got a bad marriage fortune, but why did the son-in-law still smile at the young master’s anger?
The bodyguard couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, so he just said, “Actually, if you ask me, this is just a matter of probability, young master…”
Another bodyguard nearby pulled him, saying, “Hey, it’s not good to say this in front of the Buddha.”
The bodyguard who was talking just now immediately shut up.
Qin Chaoyan looked at him and asked, “Do you still remember the lot that Xuxu drew?”
“I remember.” The bodyguard nodded hurriedly.
Qin Chaoyan asked what the lot number was, then thanked him and went to find the master to interpret the lot.
After the master asked for the lot number, then he closed his eyes and recited a few poems, such as “The treasure was there in my dream, but nothing was there when I awoke.”
Qin Chaoyan didn’t understand the poems, but he knew from the words that they weren’t lucky words.
“Both lots are bad?” He asked subconsciously.
He obviously didn’t believe these, but at this moment, he became nervous for some reason.
The master smiled: “It’s not necessarily bad. It varies depending on the time and the situation. However, if you ask about marriage, it’s indeed a bit bumpy, and there are many obstacles.”
“What is the result?” Qin Chaoyan asked in a tight voice.
The master still smiled: “The road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. Stay true to your heart, and the sky will always clear after the rain.”
Qin Chaoyan frowned slightly. These words were similar to what the master, who had just calculated the marriage, had said.
Master: “Of course, it depends on personal choice.”
The bodyguard who told Qin Chaoyan the number just now couldn’t help but turn sideways and whisper to his colleague, “That’s the way masters are; they always speak ambiguously; no matter how you interpret it, they won’t be wrong.”
Colleague: “…”
Bodyguard: “But it seems that Mr. Qin believes it just like the young master.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Chaoyan walked over and said, “Let’s go.”
The bodyguard quickly shut up and hurriedly followed.
“Where is Xuxu?” When he arrived outside the hall, Qin Chaoyan turned around and asked.
The bodyguard hurriedly contacted Chen Jiang and then said, “At the front gate of the mountain temple.”
Qin Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Rongxu was angry and wanted to go down the mountain, so he hurried to the front gate.
As a result, when he arrived outside the mountain temple, he saw Ye Rongxu sitting in front of a fortune-telling stall, stretching out his white hand to the stall owner to read his palm, and listening attentively to what the other party said.
Chen Jiang and other bodyguards nearby looked rather helpless.
Qin Chaoyan walked over and heard the stall owner saying in an old-fashioned manner, “Your five elements are lacking in gold, your eight characters are too weak, and you have not been in good health since you were young.”
Ye Rongxu: “Yes, yes.”
The stall owner: “The gold element governs the lungs, etc. You have respiratory diseases.”
Ye Rongxu: “Yes, yes, yes, very accurate.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…” Isn’t this obvious just by looking at you?
The stall owner: “If you lack something, you have to replenish it. I have a string of white agate bracelets that are specially made to make up for gold. The original price is 8888. Today we are destined to meet. If you want to buy it, it only costs 1888…”
Ye Rongxu: “I’ll buy it!”
“Then, help me look at my marriage destiny.” He said.
Qin Chaoyan was about to stop him, but he saw Chen Jiang shaking his head at him.
The stall owner was secretly happy to see Ye Rongxu buy it so readily, but at the same time he felt a little regretful: he asked for too little.
If he had known that this young master was so easy to scam, he would have sold it at a higher price. But there’s no rush; he has other things to sell.
The stall owner was calm and continued to observe Ye Rongxu’s expression while making a subtle guess: “You are dating someone.”
Ye Rongxu: “Yeah.” It was barely right.
The stall owner: “You are about the same age, and she has a good relationship with the elders in your family.”
Ye Rongxu’s eyes widened slightly; this time he was truly surprised.
Qin Chaoyan was also a bit surprised. Is this person actually the real deal?
The stall owner took in their expressions and knew that he guessed right. Fake fortune telling mainly depends on observing words and expressions, using information to test the other party’s reaction, and then inferring information from the reaction.
When Ye Rongxu and his group went up the mountain just now, he saw them. It was such a big scene after all. And when Ye Rongxu was not feeling well, coughing, and inhaling medicine, he also saw it, so he “calculated” that the other party was in poor health and had respiratory diseases.
In addition, when the young master got out of the car, besides the bodyguards, there were two people of similar age, a man and a woman, who were close to him. The man was the one who just came, presumably a friend or his brother, and the woman…
The stall owner took another look at Ye Rongxu’s expression and boldly guessed: “She’s also seeking marriage today, or seeking academic success.”
Nonsense, young people who come to Dongshan Temple are either seeking marriage or seeking academic success.
Ye Rongxu: “…” Really accurate?
As soon as the stall owner saw his expression, he knew that he had guessed right again, and he felt even more smug.
“But I’m afraid your marriage may not be smooth, and the road ahead will be bumpy. If you want to achieve the right result, it’s best to wear some blessed items to bless you and bring you good luck. I have a pair of jade Buddha Guanyin here. The man wears Guanyin, and the woman wears Buddha. If couples wear it, they will definitely have a smooth-sailing relationship.
“I have specially invited the abbot of Dongshan Temple to consecrate this pair of Jade Buddha Guanyin. The original price is 28888, but I think the donor has a connection with this jade Buddha Guanyin. So for only 18888, this pair of jade Buddha Guanyin will be my gift to you.”
Qin Chaoyan: “…” This kind of material can be bought on Taobao for 188.
He remained calm and turned to look at Ye Rongxu.
Ye Rongxu looked odd, withdrew his hand, and said, “The man wears Guanyin, and the woman wears Buddha?”
He specially emphasized the word “woman.”
The stall owner thought the price he quoted was too high and was afraid of losing this big fish, so he quickly narrowed his eyes and continued calmly: “Donor, I can’t be wrong. Your girlfriend should have worn a red dress today. Red belongs to fire, and fire overcomes gold. You lack gold in your fate, and she overcomes you. If you two don’t wear the Jade Buddha Guanyin, it’s unlikely to last long.”
“Red clothes…” Ye Rongxu frowned and immediately understood that the other party was talking about Lin Jiaojiao.
So the other saw him when he got out of the car.
As expected, it’s impossible for anyone in this world to tell fortunes.
“That’s my cousin, you charlatan, no, you fake taoist.” He said unhappily and then turned to ask Chen Jiang, “Can you smash his stall?”
The stall owner was terrified.
Chen Jiang had no choice but to say, “Young master, this kind of fortune-telling stall can be found outside every scenic spot and temple.”
Even if they wanted to, they couldn’t smash them all. Besides, they’re not law enforcement officers, so they have no right to do so.
Ye Rongxu snorted, “Then can we call the police to arrest him?”
Chen Jiang: “I’ll make a call.”
Ye Rongxu turned around with satisfaction and said to the other bodyguards, “See, I told you that this kind of thing is all a scam; what fortune-telling and marriage destiny? It’s all fake; it’s not accurate at all, and the one in the Guanyin Temple is not accurate either.”
The bodyguards: “…” It seems that you’re still upset by the lots you draw. It’s not easy to smash the Guanyin Temple, so you come outside to harass a fake fortune teller.
Qin Chaoyan also saw that Ye Rongxu clearly didn’t want to believe in the lots he drew, so he told himself that fortune telling was fake and unreliable, and even came to a fake one to prove his point.
No wonder Chen Jiang shook his head and hinted at him not to interfere just now.
It seems that the young master was really unhappy about drawing a bad lot.
He looked helpless, but his smile deepened.
When Ye Rongxu finally noticed him, his expression stiffened as he asked, “Why are you here?”
Qin Chaoyan held the armrest of his wheelchair and said, “I’ve been here for a while.”
Ye Rongxu: Who asked you this?
But the other party probably didn’t see him asking about marriage, right?
Ye Rongxu thought with a guilty conscience.
Fortunately, Qin Chaoyan didn’t ask anything.
Seeing that his cheeks were a little red from the cold, he reached out to help him cover his face and then pushed him towards the back of the mountain.
“Uncle, grandpa, and grandma are going to see the abbot. They may have to chat for a while. Let’s go to the meditation room to rest first.” Qin Chaoyan said.
Ye Rongxu said, “Oh.” Seeing that he didn’t ask, he gradually felt relieved, but he couldn’t wonder about the result of Qin Chaoyan’s marriage calculation.
To walk through the temple and get to the meditation room in the back mountain, you have to go through a flight of stairs.
It’s not convenient to go up in a wheelchair. Chen Jiang, who had just finished the phone call, followed and said, “I’ll carry him up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Qin Chaoyan.
“I’ll do it.” He said.
Seeing this, Chen Jiang didn’t argue with him and asked someone to bring a windproof cloak for Ye Rongxu to put on.
Ye Rongxu huddled in the cloak while being firmly carried by Qin Chaoyan, who walked up step by step.
He held Qin Chaoyan’s clothes tightly. Because the cloak was a bit wide, his vision was almost blocked. He could only see the steps and the people in front of him.
The backyard is not as crowded as the front, with evergreen branches and leaves on both sides of the stone steps, while the road is clear and secluded.
Ye Rongxu could not see the back, nor the left and right. There was silence around him. Gradually, he suddenly had the illusion that he and Qin Chaoyan were the only ones on this mountain.
He pinched the clothes under his fingers and finally couldn’t help leaning over to Qin Chaoyan’s ear and asking in a whisper, “You went to seek marriage calculation, right?”
Qin Chaoyan paused slightly, as if his ears were tickled by the wind, and soon he said “hmm” and resumed his steps as usual.
Ye Rongxu tightened his grip on his clothes and asked, “Then… what did the master say?”
Qin Chaoyan did not answer but asked, “Don’t you want to know what I asked the Master?”
Ye Rongxu was stunned. You have to prepare a set of questions as well?
“Then what did you ask?” He lowered his head and asked. The hood of the cloak covered him and half covered Qin Chaoyan, shrouding both of them.
Qin Chaoyan spoke slowly: “I told the master that I like someone. That person is beautiful and delicate. When we first met, he said something irritating and loved to cause troubles. It seems that he doesn’t take anyone seriously. But after getting to know him, you’ll find that he’s actually a soft-hearted person with a sharp tongue. He said what he doesn’t mean and is arrogant. When he cares about and likes someone, he never says it directly…”
Ye Rongxu: “…” Are you praising me?
Qin Chaoyan: “He’s also very cute and easily shy, and when he looks at someone seriously, there seems to be light in his eyes. When he treats a person well, that person can’t help but care about and fall for him. But I agreed with him that it’s just a contractual engagement, and if I like him, it means breaking the contract…”
Ye Rongxu’s hand involuntarily clenched again, almost grabbing Qin Chaoyan’s collar.
Qin Chaoyan felt his collar tighten, and he paused for a moment, then continued to narrate calmly: “I asked the master, if I broke the contract and told him that I liked him, would he… like me too? Will we have a good ending?”
Ye Rongxu: “…You said that he’s bad before, so he definitely doesn’t like you.”
Qin Chaoyan stopped and said softly, “Really?”
Ye Rongxu nodded seriously and wanted to persuade him by saying, “If you talk to him nicely, he might like you,” but before he could open his mouth, Qin Chaoyan suddenly put him down.
Ye Rongxu cried out softly, and before he could react, he was picked up by the waist and pressed against the thick tree trunk next to him.
The wide cloak covered them; Ye Rongxu couldn’t stand on his legs, so he could only climb on Qin Chaoyan. His hands and feet were trembling, and his voice was stuttering, “W-what are you doing?”
Under the cloak, Qin Chaoyan looked at him fixedly with his dark and deep eyes. He asked in a hoarse voice, “He really doesn’t like me?
Please consider supporting me on Ko-fi if you like what I’m doing. Thank you for reading! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
