Picture her prosperous face

Mrs. Qiao came to offer incense on the spur of the moment, so she went out late, and it was almost noon when the mother and daughter arrived at Huguo Temple.

The weather in July is still unbearably hot, but the sandalwood scented in the Daxiong Palace and the sound of Buddha sounds, it seems to be able to get rid of impetuousness in people's hearts.Rao, the most heat-sensitive person like Qiao Yue, inexplicably calmed down in such an environment.

The mother and daughter knelt in front of the Buddha. Mrs. Qiao had a sincere and solemn expression. She paid her vows first, and then muttered something in her mouth.

Qiao Yue got close, and only a few words fell into her ears, and she quickly pieced together Mrs. Qiao's new wish - to ask for a marriage for her.

It's a pity that when Qiao Yue heard the content of the wish, she felt a little nervous.Of course she understood her mother's good intentions, but Mrs. Qiao was too anxious. She had only retired for three to five days, and she was already asking for a new marriage.But at this moment when Qiao Yue heard about the marriage, Xu Changqing was subconsciously remembered in her mind, and she was still the bad-hearted and scoundrel of the Xu family...

This is really, it's shocking to think about it.

Qiao Yue closed her eyes, ignoring Mrs. Qiao's thoughts, sincerely praying to the Buddha is only asking for the well-being of her parents and the harmony of her family.As for her own marriage, she is not in a hurry, this time she must keep her eyes open and choose carefully!

Unexpectedly, an incomparably handsome face appeared in her mind, and she suppressed it again.

The mother and daughter each made a wish, and bowed again.Mrs. Qiao drew a top lottery, and suddenly felt that the depression and anxiety in her heart were gone, and her whole body became beaming.When he got the lottery and left the Daxiong Palace, he went to the Zhike monk again, and added a thick sum of money for sesame oil, which was also a gift to fulfill his wish.

When the two of them came out of the palace gate, Qiao Yue raised her eyes and saw the bluestone slabs outside, and immediately felt a conflict in her heart: "Mother, shall we go back home now?" Zhenglie, it's not a good time to travel, is it?

Mrs. Qiao didn't know that her daughter was afraid of the heat, and she didn't intend to rush back to the house in such a hurry: "There is nothing at home, so there is no need to be so anxious. It is almost noon now, and the vegetarian restaurant in Huguo Temple has always been famous. You go and taste it."

When Qiao Yue heard this, she felt relieved.Huguo Temple has been built for more than a hundred years, and it is considered an ancient temple. Therefore, except for the spaciousness in front of the Daxiong Hall, the rest of the place is mostly tree-lined.In this scorching sun season, it is always much cooler to walk under the green shade, and even the whole temple is cooler than the surrounding.

Mrs. Qiao said that she would take her daughter to eat vegetarian food, so she didn't go in the direction of the temple gate, but went to a place in the temple.Qiao Yue was not familiar with Huguo Temple, so she naturally followed her mother obediently.

It's just that the destination of the mother and daughter's departure is not the Zhaitang.

Mrs. Qiao led Qiao Yue to the foot of an exceptionally tall ancient tree. When she looked up, she could see many red cloth belts fluttering in the wind.If you look closely, you can still see ink marks on the red cloth, which are clearly written all over.

Without Mrs. Qiao's explanation, Qiao Yue recognized this tree when she saw it—it was the wishing tree of Huguo Temple.

It is said that this ancient tree is over a thousand years old, much earlier than the Huguo Temple was built.I don't know when, a custom has formed nearby, that is, to write wishes on red cloth belts, and then hang them on ancient trees to get your wishes fulfilled.After the Huguo Temple was established, this custom did not disappear. On the contrary, because Huguo Temple attracted a large number of pilgrims, more and more people came to make wishes under this ancient tree.

Today, most people in Beijing who know about Huguo Temple also know about this wishing tree.It's just that there are more people making wishes, but fewer people can hang the red cloth belt on the tree. The lower branches are already covered with cloth belts layer by layer, but the higher ones need to be thrown by people to hang them.

Qiao Yue had heard of its name a long time ago, but it was the first time she had seen this wishing tree.She looked at the tree full of wishes, and immediately became interested. She walked a few steps to the tree, and looked up to see the wishes written on the cloth tapes.

Seeking fame, marriage, peace, wealth... All kinds of wishes are hung on the branches, just like the various states of life.

Mrs. Qiao didn't wait for Qiao Yue to take a closer look, she pulled her aside, and said with some helplessness: "That's all other people's wishes, why do you look at this? Also, stay away from that tree, and be careful not to fall on it. Something comes down and hits you."

Qiao Yue blinked innocently, then turned her head and saw a desk not far away.A monk sat behind the case, but on the desk in front of him were piles of red cloth belts, besides that, there were pens and ink.Presumably, the innumerable red cloth belts on the tree came from this, and ordinary people may not be able to read, so the monk might still have to do ghostwriting.

Just thinking about it, a woman happened to come to make a wish, wearing coarse linen clothes, presumably illiterate.She went to the desk and said a few words with the monk, and the latter really picked up a pen and started writing for her.

After a while, the monk finished writing. The woman thanked him, then turned around and took out a small stone and tied it to a red cloth belt.Then she went under the tree, raised her head and started throwing it up.

Perhaps because of the luxuriant branches and leaves of this ancient tree, the woman hung it up after only tossing it three or two times, she was overjoyed immediately.At the same time, three or four red cloth belts were knocked off, all of which were tied with various bits and pieces, with various wishes written on them, but no one would take a second look at them.Only after the woman left, the monk stepped forward and picked up all the red cloth belts.

In the end, the destination of these "wishes" is nothing more than burning before the Buddha.

Qiao Yue saw the beginning and the end, so she didn't have much thought about the wishing tree.On the contrary, Mrs. Qiao believed in these things, and felt that it would be good to burn her wish in front of the Buddha, so that the Buddha could see it, so she asked her daughter to make a wish too.

This is a trivial matter, and it is also a novel experience, so Qiao Yue did not refuse.The two of them didn't need a monk to write for them, they wrote their own wishes. As for the heavy objects to be tied up, they didn't have to be stones.But most people are not so aggressive, so Mrs. Qiao bought two shattered fruits from the monk and tied them up.

There is no need to worry that the fruit will rot on the tree in the end, and it will be knocked down by others in less than two days.Afterwards, the red cloth belt that made the wish will be burned in front of the Buddha. As for the whereabouts of the fruit, there is no need to delve into it.

It is probably not the first time for Mrs. Qiao to make a wish. No matter whether she makes a wish or throws it, she shows a sense of familiarity.

Qiao Yue couldn't make it, she obviously saw her mother and the woman before throwing it easily, she threw it four or five times by herself, but they all fell off.On the contrary, all kinds of red cloth belts hanging on the tree were knocked and fell down, and a dozen of them fell down in the blink of an eye!

Mrs. Qiao couldn't stand her clumsy appearance anymore. She wanted to help, but felt that it was more pious to make a wish by herself, so she had no choice but to look at her daughter with helpless eyes.

Qiao Yue was a little embarrassed by the look, and looked up at the crown of the ancient tree again, gritted her teeth and raised her hand, and threw it up with all her strength.

But she didn't expect her to throw too hard, and her head was not accurate enough, so the fruit happened to rub against the edge of the tree crown and flew to the opposite side.During this period, there was a "red cloth rain" rustling on the tree again, and all kinds of bundles fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Coincidentally, the King of Han was pulling Ji Chang across from the ancient tree.

Ji Shizi was tricked into coming on a "blind date" today, but facing a group of young girls who are not yet young, she has no idea at all.Under her insistence, the King of Han had no choice but to give up his plan, and this meeting was just a reunion of their old friends.

But along the way, the King of Han babbled, still persuading her to make plans early.Before he finished speaking, a "hidden weapon" flew from the oblique ground, accompanied by the shaking of the branches and leaves of the ancient tree, and threw it straight at Ji Chang.

The King of Han was startled, and was about to reach out to block it, when Ji Chang raised his hand and grabbed the thing in his hand.When I got it in my hand, I saw it was a fruit with a red cloth belt for wishing, just like the one on the old tree next to it.It's just that the wishing person was reckless, and she threw the wishing belt hanging on the tree onto the passerby on the opposite side!

The king of Han was speechless for a while after seeing it clearly, and immediately said: "Throw it here, the master will come to pick it up later."

Ji Chang didn't care, nodded and was about to bend down to put it on the ground, when he saw a girl come out from behind the thick old tree.As an acquaintance, her eyes lit up when she saw her: "Did you come to Huguo Temple to offer incense, too?"

For a moment, Ji Chang took the fruit tied with a wishing belt, and he didn't want to throw it away, and it didn't matter if he didn't throw it away.

King of Han (joking): In ancient times, there was a fruit-throwing cart, Ah Chang is so beautiful, it is perfectly fine for a girl to throw fruit at him!
