Fahua Temple.
After chatting with Lu Chongshan that day, Yan Ruyi took some time and rushed to the temple early in the morning.
The temple was very popular and was crowded with people outside early in the morning.
Yan Ruyi lit a stick of incense and waited in the side hall. Soon, a young monk came over, put his hands together and said "Amitabha". "Donor Yan is here!"
Yan Ruyi returned the greeting, then asked nervously, "Young Master, I wonder what Master Xuan Jing would say?"
"The abbot has been waiting in the inner hall for a long time. Mr. Yan, please follow me." said the little monk.
"Ah! Master Xuan Jing agreed! That's great! Thank you, thank you!" Yan Ruyi, holding a stack of horoscopes of famous ladies, happily followed the little monk towards the Zen room in the backyard.
The courtyard is paved with bluestone paths, at the end of which is a red maple forest. In the lotus pond in front of the house, several egrets are preening their feathers. Looking at the quiet courtyard in front of you, one's mood can't help but calm down.
Arriving at the door of Xuan Jing's meditation room, the young monk stood still with a solemn expression, "Abbot, Donor Yan is here."
After a while, an old monk holding a Zen stick walked out of the house. The old monk was dressed in a gray cassock and had an extraordinary temperament, like a person from otherworldly world.
"Master Yan, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person!"
"Master, you are too polite. I am really sorry to trouble you this time. I have taken up your time serving the Buddha because of such a small matter!" Looking at the old monk's demeanor, Yan Ruyi suddenly felt trust in him and thought that it was fortunate that she had found Master Xuan Jing.
She had seen Long Fanyin once before and thought he was very imposing. But now, after meeting Master Xuan Jing, she realized that Long Fanyin was too deliberate and impetuous.
"Donor Yan, you are too kind. I am only doing a small favor. You and Donor Lu offer incense and candles every year to repair the golden statue of the Bodhisattva and help the poor. This is a great kindness!"
"Master, you are so kind. This is what we deserve!"
…
After a few pleasantries, we got down to business.
Yan Ruyi took out all the horoscopes in her bag and placed them on the low table. She then took out a single horoscope of Lu Tingxiao and said, "Master, they are all here. Please take a look!"
Xuan Jing nodded, picked up the eight characters and began to read them.
Yan Ruyi didn't dare to disturb him and stood quietly by the side waiting.
Every time Xuan Jing looked at one, he would write a few words on the back. After a while, he had finally finished reading all the eight characters.
Seeing that Xuan Jing's expression did not change from beginning to end, Yan Ruyi became a little anxious and asked, "Master, among these girls, are there any with particularly good horoscopes, or are there any with horoscopes that are particularly compatible with my Tingxiao's?"
Master Xuan Jing shook his head, "Not really."
This means that all these girls are just average, and although there are no particularly incompatible ones, there are no compatible ones at all
Yan Ruyi was inevitably disappointed when she heard this. She looked at the master's approval carefully and unwillingly. As expected, they were all similar. There was not even one that was slightly outstanding.
Yan Ruyi read it over and over again, and finally put away the eight characters with determination, nodded absentmindedly, "Thank you, Master!"
"Donor Yan, you're welcome."
"Then Master, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"
Yan Ruyi was about to leave when she suddenly stopped. She suddenly remembered that there was another person's horoscope in her bag...
It's the girl named Ning Xi...
She didn't know what she was thinking. Before leaving, she actually asked someone to get the girl's horoscope.
Now, should I let the master take a look at it as well
