Chapter Seventy-Six: A Chance Encounter in the Temple
"Girl! Girl! The slave maid saw the princess of Liuyue, he really looks good! β
Cuizhi greeted Chu Peijin, with starry eyes on her face, and excitement on her bright little face, which made Chu Peijin speechless.
"Isn't it just a good skin, as for it!" She would never admit that the first time she saw the man in the hall, she also had a momentary obsession.
Cuizhi grinned and said, "As for it, it's too much! When they return to the house, the slave can blow for three days and three nights! β
Chu Peijin twitched the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes, she didn't plan to talk to anymore.
"Mother is going to take me and a few younger sisters to see Master Zhikong, and Cuizhu will accompany me later, and Cuizhi will go back to the room first."
Cuizhu's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this, and she asked with some surprise: "Girl, did Madam really take you to see Master Zhikong?" That's great! β
"Why? Master Zhikong is very powerful? β
"Of course!"
Over there, Cuizhi said quickly: "I heard that Master Zhikong is very accurate in telling fortunes, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see him, so girl, you are really lucky today!" β
Chu Peijin snorted disappreciatively, lucky? This was specially arranged by her good mother Xia, right?
Thinking of this, Chu Peijin's heart couldn't help but move, could it be that the Xia clan had noticed something? Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but feel a sharp beat in her heart, since she was a high-ranking monk, would she see something at that time?
So is she going or not going?
At the moment when he hesitated, the Xia family had already sent Mama Huang to invite her in person.
Since the last time he didn't complete the task assigned by the Xia family in Chu Peijin's place, the Xia family has given Mama Huang a lot less things on the surface, and Mama Huang is anxious to behave well, but she has been suffering from no chance.
This time, Mama Huang vaguely sensed Xia's intentions, so she volunteered to invite the eldest girl, first, to prove her ability to Xia, and secondly, to regain her self-confidence in Chu Peijin.
"Big girl, madam, please come over."
Mama Huang's attitude is obviously much more respectful than the last time.
Chu Peijin was still a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, she was indeed not the real Chu Peijin, in case that Master Zhikong was really a high-ranking monk who had attained the Dao, wouldn't it be a big trouble when he saw something?
"You go back and tell your mother that I'm not feeling well, so I won't go!" Speaking of this, she paused, and then said, "I heard that the opportunity to meet Master Zhikong is rare, so it's better to give this opportunity to other sisters!" β
Mama Huang had a bad premonition in her heart, and she hurriedly persuaded her: "The eldest lady has already arranged it, and the girl doesn't have to worry." When the old slave came, he saw that the third and fourth girls had passed, and now only you, the girl, were left! β
"Girl, go, or will the slave and maid go with you?" Cuizhi followed and urged.
Cuizhu also smiled and said, "Girl, this opportunity is rare, you can go!" Master Zhikong will not talk nonsense. β
Chu Peijin glanced at Cuizhu and said secretly, how does this girl know that she is worried about the monk's nonsense? However, I am afraid that it will not work if I don't look at this posture, so I have to bite the bullet.
Mama Huang was overjoyed, and the expression on her face relaxed.
A few people followed Mama Huang and turned a few corners to the door of a Zen temple, Xia had already been waiting there with three girls, seeing that Chu Peijin was late, she uncharacteristically did not reprimand her, but only said to them: "Remember not to talk nonsense later." With that, he turned and walked inside.
Chu Peijin had no choice but to follow them into the courtyard.
The door of the main house in the courtyard was open, and there seemed to be someone inside. Xia stopped under the porch, and called the little novice who was waiting next to him to ask, and everyone knew that the daughter of the Fu Xiang family was inside.
The crowd couldn't, so they had to wait on the sidelines for the time being, but it didn't take long for the people inside to come out.
Fu Yanjun was stunned when she saw Chu Peijin, at such a close distance, she could see clearly, in fact, Chu Peijin's facial features were much more delicate than what her second cousin described to her before, although her face was still vaguely sickly, but those smart eyes covered up all these shortcomings!
Fu Yanjun was a little surprised, if Chu Peijin was like this for a long time, King Kang might not like it, so he ......
Xu is Fu Yanjun's gaze was too special, and Chu Peijin, who didn't notice her at first, also began to look at her seriously. Listening to what Xiao Shami said, this should be the girl of Fu Xiang's family, but I don't know why she always stares at herself? Could it be that they still have a holiday before?
Over there, Mrs. Fu Xiang Li was greeting the Xia family, and she was a little surprised when she saw her daughter staring at the girl in Wu'an Houfu, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Mrs. Xia, this girl is looking at the face, but is the eldest girl in your mansion?" β
Xia Shi turned his head and glanced at Chu Peijin, nodded with a smile: "Yes, she has never been in good health, so she rarely goes out of the house." Now that he saw that he was about to make time, he took her out for a walk. After speaking, when he saw Fu Yanjun, he praised again: "This must be the third girl Fu, right?" Seeing Mrs. Li nodding, she continued: "I have long heard that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is one of the best talented women in the capital. Mrs. Li, don't say it, Miss Fu San's beauty is afraid that she is also a bright person in Beijing! Look at this complexion, white and red, it's really rare! β
"Mrs. Xia is really an award!" Li Shi was happy when he heard Xia praise his daughter as if she was a flower, so he lost no time in praising several girls from Wu'an Houfu, and finally ended chatting while Chu Peijin was speechless and looked at the sky.
Fu Yanjun couldn't help but glance back at Chu Peijin when she left with Li, but she couldn't help frowning when she saw that no one was beside her, and her behavior was not dignified and steady at all.
This is a woman who makes her a little incomprehensible, but her ease makes her can't help but be a little envious, if it weren't for her blocking her way, maybe ......
Xia took a few girls to follow Xiao Shami into the main hall, and Chu Peijin saw clearly that there was a monk sitting cross-legged in the middle of it, who was about the same age as the previous Master Zhixian, and his beard was white.
"Master ......"
Xia reverently folded his hands and made a Buddha salute, and the Zhikong monk raised his eyes and looked at everyone one by one, his eyes stopped on Chu Peijin's body for a moment, and then he returned the salute and let everyone sit down.
Chu Peijin was slightly hairy by Zhikong's glance, and he didn't know if he saw anything, so he didn't dare to lean forward, so he only found the farthest futon and knelt down and pretended to look at the room casually.
"Masterβ"
Xia glanced at Chu Peijin and said, "I want the master to help see the future of these girls' families, master, ...... you see it."
Zhikong raised his eyebrows and glanced at several girls from the Chu family, and said, "That little benefactor in a purple shirt can stay!" β
Everyone was stunned and looked at Chu Peijin. She is the only one wearing a purple pleated dress today!
