Don't go back to hometown

The Yuelao Temple is near the Slender West Lake. The temple fair is spread out along the Slender West Lake. In addition to the small stalls selling goods, there are also juggling troupes who set up stages to perform. The lake winds for several miles, which is very lively.

There are too many pedestrians on the trails by the lake, Jiang Xianyu and his party have a large number of people, and it is not convenient to move, so they plan to take a cruise ship from here to Yuelao Temple.

After passing the 24th Bridge covered with lanterns, Yangzhou Academy, and finally arrived at Yuelao Temple.

It was the time when the incense in the temple was at its peak, and there was a little boy guiding the way at the door, looking at everyone with a smile.

"Do you ask for lottery or pray?"

"Ask for a signature first." Tan Fanghao said with a final word.

The other two girls were a bit reserved and shy in front of the outsider, and Tan Fanghao became the one who made the decision.

Jiang Xianyu and the others also respected the opinion of the girl's family, and first followed Tan Fanghao to ask for a lottery.

After donating incense money, Tan Fanghao and the three girls first went to ask for a lottery, and then urged Tan Yunhan and the others to go after they came back.

Tan Yunhan refused: "I'm not looking for marriage."

Tan Fanghao pinched his arm, glanced at Xie Cheng, "You just go and try, you can also ask about your studies."

Tan Yunhan received the hint from his sister, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, yes, I will ask when I will be selected as a scholar."

As he said that, he came to pull Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng, "Xiao Yu, brother Xie, you also come together."

Jiang Xian subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could find an excuse, Tan Yunhan pushed him to kneel in front of the lottery.

He froze for a moment, and saw that the futon next to him also knelt down.

"What do you want?" Xie Cheng asked him.

Jiang Xianyu turned his head to avoid his sight, grabbed the lottery and said, "Please, please be safe."

Xie Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "I am seeking marriage."

Jiang Xian turned his head to look at him in surprise.

Xie Cheng calmly grabbed the stick and closed his eyes.

There was a clattering sound, and Jiang Xianyu's heart rose up: Is the signing of the Yuelao Temple approved?

wrong!Is Xie Chengqiu's marriage with him?

With a bang, a bamboo stick fell to the ground, and the word "中" appeared impressively.

Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng felt tense at the same time, the latter was stunned for a moment before reaching out to pick up the lottery.

The signature said: "Who calls tea bitter, its sweetness is like a shepherd's chestnut."Yan'er is newly married, like a brother like a brother.

Jiang Xianyu poked his head and took a look. He didn't quite understand the meaning of the signature, but he was startled by the words "like a brother like a brother", and the back of his ears began to turn red again.

What the hell does this mean?

He was too embarrassed to ask Xie Cheng...

"You want one too." Xie Cheng put the signature in his sleeve and looked at Jiang Xianyu.

Jiang Xianyu let out a dumbfounded "Oh", closed his eyes and shook the stick, completely ignoring his sincerity and insincerity, his mind was full of Xie Chengfang's stick.

With a click, the lottery that Jiang Xianyu begged for also fell out.

This time, the signature is facing upwards: there are flowers that can be folded straight away, don't wait until the flowers are empty to break the branches.

Endorsed the word "Shangshang".

This time the meaning of the signature is straightforward, but Jiang Xianyu is not sure if it is what he thinks.He glanced at Xie Cheng, his cheeks felt a little hot.

Xie Cheng also saw the signature, and then looked at Jiang Xianyu who was kneeling on the futon——

He blushed.

When Xie Cheng realized this, he suddenly laughed.

Jiang Xianyu was uncomfortable with his smile, and turned away awkwardly.

"Xiao Yu, are you alright?" Tan Yunhan came over to pull him, "Let's go, let's untangle the lottery."

There are only three Taoist chiefs who can release the lottery, so they have to line up.

Tan Fanghao's three girls were squeezed into another team, and they refused to line up with Tan Yunhan and others.

"Wen Qing, where's your lottery?" Tan Yunhan asked him.

Wen Qing accompanied the crowd in line, spread his hands, "I don't need it."

Tan Yunhan persuaded him: "Everyone is here, why don't you ask for one? You see, brother Ningze also asked for one."

They exchanged ages just now, Xie Ningze and Wen Qing are both 15 years old, the former is a month later.Xie Ningyuan is only three months younger than Xie Cheng.

Tan Yunhan and Jiang Xianyu were the same age, seeing Xie Ningze's gentleness and quietness, he insisted on calling him his younger brother.

Xie Ningze held the signature and looked at everyone embarrassedly, "Here, it's your turn, Big Brother Qin."

After Tan Yunhan saw it, he quickly handed his signature to the priest who unwrapped it.

Who would have thought that Taoist leader looked up behind him, "Wen Qing?"

Wen Qing heard a voice and looked around: "Uncle?"

Everyone: "???"

Tan Yunhan stared back and forth between Wen Qing and the Taoist priest several times, and said in surprise, "Wen Qing! Could it be that you really know fortune telling?!"

Wen Qing: "..."

Dao Wen laughed happily and said, "You are Qingqing's classmates, come on, come on, I'll untie the sign for you first."

Tan Yunhan's signature was not very good, but Daoist Wen still said some good words to encourage him, Tan Yunhan thanked him repeatedly, and after he backed away, he asked Wen Qing non-stop.

Knowing that the current Miaozhu of Yuelao Temple is Wen Qing's third grandfather, he was stunned.

Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng were at the back of the queue, and it was Jiang Xianyu's turn after Xie Ningyuan unwrapped the lottery.

His signature was easy to understand, Taoist Wen smiled and persuaded him to take the initiative and get married as soon as possible.

Jiang Xianyu blushed and stepped aside, Xie Cheng walked up.

Unexpectedly, Daoist Wen saw his face change suddenly, and his eyes went back and forth between him and Jiang Xianyu several times, as if he was shocked.

"This..." Wen Daochang frowned and looked at the two of them again and again, then reached out to Xie Cheng, "Show me the signature."

Xie Cheng wasn't sure if the other party had some skills, he could really see something.But because of the friendship between Jiang Xianyu and Wen Qing, Xie Cheng still handed over the lottery.

Daoist Wen frowned for a while, then looked up at Xie Cheng: "There are two solutions to this sign."

Xie Cheng: "Teacher, please speak."

"One is the literal meaning of this signature: Although the tea and vegetables are bitter, but those who are in love enjoy it, and in the future, we will conclude a marriage contract, like brothers and brothers, know each other and accompany each other, and let go..."

Daoist Wen specially emphasized the words "like a brother like a brother", then glanced at Jiang Xianyu again, and said to Xie Cheng: "This road is not easy, it all depends on whether you are willing to endure the hardship."

Jiang Xianyu's eyes widened immediately after hearing this: Daoist, did he mean him and Xie Cheng?

Are they really married?

Xie Cheng only nodded his head, and said again: "Please tell me another solution."

Wen Daochang put down the signed paper in his hand and said, "Are you all Qingqing's classmates?"

"……Yes."

"Then you should have studied the Book of Songs." Dao Wen said, "Do you know the source of this signature?"

Jiang Xianyu was still thinking about it, Xie Cheng said in one go: ""Beifeng·Gufeng"."

"Gu Feng"...Jiang Xianyu was taken aback, then...it was a poem about an abandoned woman!

"The sentence in the original poem is a wife complaining to her husband: Who said that bitter vegetables are bitter? As long as I eat it with you, I think it is as sweet as shepherd's purse. But you marry someone else, and love her like brothers and sisters." Wen Daochang said, "It shows that the two were intervened by others, and finally parted ways. It is a signing."

Jiang Xianyu: "!!!"

I do not have!

He turned his head to look at Xie Cheng, even counting the previous life, it wasn't the same thing!

Xie Cheng glanced at him, then cupped his hands to Daoist Wen: "Thank you, Daoist, for clarifying the confusion."

Daochang Wen raised his hand to stop it: "You don't need to thank me. It's rare to find someone with a predestined relationship, and it's even rarer to get someone with a heart. It's up to you to choose what kind of meaning you sign."

He glanced at Jiang Xianyu again, who was so watched that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and his eyes shook uncomfortably.

"Thank you, brother."

After untying the lottery, the three girls from Tan Fanghao came over. Hearing Daoist Wen's last two words, they looked at Xie Cheng in surprise: "Brother Xie also asked for a marriage lottery. Do you have a sweetheart?"

Xie Cheng nodded and said, "Well, I have a sweetheart."

Jiang Xianyu:! ! !

Although Xie Cheng didn't look at him when he said this, he couldn't help but blush.

Xie Cheng, why did he just admit it like that?What if the other party asks who his sweetheart is?

He quickly lowered his head, for fear of being seen.

Tan Fang felt sour when he heard Xie Cheng's answer, and lowered his head in disappointment, "So that's how it is..."

"What's the matter? Have you finished unwrapping the sign?" Tan Yunhan, Wen Qing and others came up, and everyone gathered together again.

Tan Fanghao tugged at the handkerchief in his hand, let out a breath, raised his head and regained his vitality, "We've finished untiing it, and we're going to pray over there."

As he spoke, he pulled up the two little sisters and ran away in a hurry.

"Slow down!" Tan Yunhan had no choice but to drag Wen Qing and Xie Ningze to chase, "Xiao Yu, hurry up."

Xie Ningyuan also followed, leaving behind Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng.

In the Yuelao Temple, there is a century-old tree with three people hugging each other, and the red silk of praying is hung on it.

The three girls, Tan Fanghao, also went to buy a red ribbon with a wishing wooden sign, wrote down their wishes solemnly, and threw them on the tree.

But the three girls are short and weak, and they can't even reach the lowest branch.

So he asked Tan Yunhan for help.

But even Tan Yunhan and others couldn't do it. The good places to hang on the tree had already been filled up, and they would fall if they tried to throw them up.

Tan Yunhan held the red silk and ran to Jiang Xianyu: "Brother, do me a favor, my sister said that the higher the hanging, the more effective it will be."

Jiang Xianyu happened to be standing in front of Xie Cheng, at a loss for what to do. Afraid that the other party would mention his "sweetheart" again, he quickly took the red silk, and threw Tan Yunhan and Wen Qing to the top of the tree.

hang firmly.

"Look! It's all up!" Tan Fang was so excited that he jumped on the spot, "Thank you, Brother Yu!"

Miss Chen and Miss Li also thanked Jiang Xianyu.

The little girls around were full of envy, and looked at Jiang Xianyu with admiration and admiration in their eyes.

"You helped her throw it so high, do you know what wish she made? What if it comes true?" Xie Cheng suddenly said in Jiang Xianyu's ear.

Jiang Xianyu didn't hear the sourness hidden in his words, but suddenly remembered: Tan Fanghao likes Xie Cheng!

What if she makes a wish to marry Xie Cheng!

"I... I'll secretly take it down later to have a look."

Xie Cheng glanced at the top of the tree: "Which one do you remember?"

Jiang Xianyu looked up at the tree full of red silk: "..."

Can not remember……

Just now, he tossed several of them one after another, and he didn't know which one was good for Tan Fang!

He looked at the red silk memory on the top of his head, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a low-hanging prayer card in front of him that read: Wishing Xie Lang well.

"..."

Jiang Xianyu suddenly realized that there are many girls in Yangzhou who miss Xie Cheng, and how many wishes on this tree are related to Xie Cheng, not just Tan Fanghao.

Xie Cheng followed his gaze and saw the wooden sign: "..."

"Maybe Xie Ningyuan."

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

Xie Ningyuan turned his head in front: "Cousin called me?"

Xie Cheng: "...never."

"puff--"

Seeing Xie Cheng's awkward appearance, Jiang Xianyu suddenly laughed.

Xie Cheng looked at him, looked into his smiling eyes, his eyes softened unconsciously.

Jiang Xianyu was uncomfortable being watched by him, turned his eyes to look at the wishing card on the tree, but the arc of the corner of his lips did not fall.

Xie Cheng watched with him for a while, then turned around and bought two red ribbons, and handed one to Jiang Xianyu, "Try?"

Jiang Xianyu took it over, stroked the wishing wooden sign on top, raised his hand and threw it towards the top of the tree, hanging firmly on the top treetop.

"No prayer?"

Jiang Xianyu thumped his chest: "Here."

Xie Cheng smiled, "Well, sincerity leads to success."

After finishing speaking, he also threw the red silk in his hand to the top of the tree, and flew to Jiang Xianyu's root accurately, hanging on the same branch as it.

The branches were slightly bent, and the two wordless wooden signs collided lightly, as if praying and whispering——

May the sky know my will, the sun and the moon know my heart.

Live up to the people in front of you in this life.

……

After playing almost, everyone took a cruise ship to return.

When getting off the boat, Jiang Xianyu saw a familiar figure from a distance.

"Big brother?"

Jiang Baizhou turned his head in search of the sound, with a slightly surprised expression.

Beside him was a girl wearing a veiled hat, she glanced at Jiang Xianyu, turned her head and said something to Jiang Baizhou, the latter nodded, and the girl turned and left.

When Jiang Xianyu and others stepped forward, the girl had already walked away.

"Isn't elder brother unable to tell?" Jiang Xianyu asked suspiciously, he clearly invited elder brother to join him before going out, but the other party refused.

"Who was that girl just now?" He looked into the crowd curiously.

Jiang Baizhou pressed his shoulder and explained: "The girl got separated from the servant, I happened to meet her and showed her the way."

There are so many people tonight, it is indeed easy to get lost if you are not careful.

But Jiang Xianyu felt that his elder brother was not considerate enough: "Then why don't you send her back? It's not safe for her to be alone."

What's more, that lady was wearing a veiled hat, so she should be timid and afraid of being born, and it would be bad if she got into trouble.

Jiang Baizhou choked for a moment: "...you are right, I'll go and have a look, you guys go back first."

Jiang Xianyu waved to him, and Jiang Baizhou left.

Tan Fanghao frowned at the figure that disappeared into the crowd, and felt that the girl in the veiled hat just now looked familiar.
