Chapter 211: Zenfeng Temple Bamboo Forest
"Cousin, please wait for me. Really, cousin, you have no sympathy for women. Why are you walking so fast?"
"Miss, if you don't get up now, you really won't be able to catch up."
The maid helped her up and hurriedly followed the footsteps in front of her towards the temple.
Qu Jingyao looked at the master and servant and curled her lips sarcastically. Qi Yuyao followed her gaze and asked if she knew them.
"Well, just an annoying stranger. Let's go, auntie."
The two of them continued to climb the stone steps, chatting and laughing. Qi Wenyuan bit the folding fan in his hand and looked at the distant mountains.
The Yanshan Mountains are magnificent, and the scenery is different every time I see it.
"Go and protect them secretly, don't let them get hurt."
"Yes, I obey."
The two secret guards immediately disappeared behind him.
Qu Jingyao asked her aunt as she walked up the stone steps and found many women there.
"Most of them come here to pray for children, or for their family members. The Goddess of Childbirth at the Chanfeng Temple is the most effective."
Qu Jingyao suddenly realized, but could it be that the cousins came here to enjoy the scenery like them? That was really unlucky to meet them, so it would be better to stay away from them for a while.
"Yao'er, let's have a vegetarian meal at Chanfeng Temple at noon. I heard the vegetarian food there is very good."
"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt."
Qi Wenyuan shook his head helplessly and said lovingly, "This girl is just greedy."
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the gate of Chanfeng Temple, where many pilgrims were coming and going.
Qi Yuyao took her hand and walked straight towards the main hall in the inner courtyard.
The two men came into the main hall, stood in front of the Buddha, smiled at each other, then knelt down with their hands clasped together devoutly.
Qi Wenyuan also followed the two of them.
After a long time, the maid helped the two to get up, and Qi Wenyuan followed them to the back hall to donate incense money.
"Amitabha."
The abbot of the temple clasped his hands together, muttered something and struck a wooden fish.
When the three of them came out of the back hall, they happened to meet Qingyan and Mo Hanchuan in front of the main hall door.
"I and the girl are really destined to be together."
"Cousin..." Qingyan glared at Qu Jingyao angrily, thinking in her heart that this vixen was still haunting her.
Qi Wenyuan saw the strange man approaching his niece, and quickly moved sideways to block his sight, frowning and saying:
"Sir, please move aside for a moment."
After saying that, he stretched out the folding fan in his hand, pushed Mo Hanchuan away, and walked straight out of the hall with Qu Jingyao.
Qi Yuyao turned around and glanced at the man. He had a handsome face and looked very dignified. However, the woman next to him was staring at the two of them as if she had seen an enemy.
"Yao'er, how do you know these two people? I don't think that woman is a good person."
"Aunt, I don't know them, but I've seen them before. That man always comes up to me without any sense of propriety, which is really annoying."
When Qi Wenyuan heard what his niece said, his face darkened and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Yao'er, if you see that man, just stay away from him. If you have anything to say, tell your uncle."
She nodded slightly and took her aunt's arm, and she led her towards the purple bamboo forest at the back of the mountain.
As they arrived at the bamboo forest, a cool breeze blew towards them. Deep in the bamboo forest, they could hear the sound of girls playing and the melodious sound of the guqin.
Qi Yuyao excitedly pulled her closer, eyes full of joy as she said, "Yao'er, listen, this piano sounds so nice."
Without waiting for her to say anything, he pulled her towards the depths of the woods.
Qi Wenyuan had no choice but to catch up quickly, and kept reminding them to pay attention to their steps and be careful not to fall.
Yuyao has become much more cheerful since Yaoer came.
Several people passed through the purple bamboo forest, and the scenery they saw shocked Qu Jingyao. This waterfall was much more beautiful than the one in her space, and it was very spectacular.
At this time, many young ladies from aristocratic families were gathered by the pond in groups of three or five, reciting poems and composing couplets, or sitting in a circle playing the piano and playing chess.
“I didn’t expect this place to be such a treasure.”
"Yes, these women in the backyard rarely go out on weekdays. Most of them come here for an outing. Look over there and wonder what they are doing. Let's go and take a look."
Before Qu Jingyao could react, Qi Yuyao grabbed her and ran towards the crowd.
The little fire at the back suddenly appeared from nowhere and quickly jumped onto the owner's shoulder.
Qi Wenyuan saw from afar that several of his bad friends were among the crowd.
"Hearing that the Dragon Flag had passed through the Five Rivers, I sent my sorrowful heart to the bright moon..."
"Prince Wang's poem is absolutely amazing."
"Yes! He truly is worthy of being called a talented man from Bianliang City!"
Listening to a group of people bragging to a man dressed as a scholar, Qu Jingyao's mouth twitched. She pulled her aunt's sleeve, reminding her that she should go for a walk.
She really didn't like this kind of occasion.
Qi Yuyao smiled and nodded, knowing that Yao'er didn't like crowds, so just as she was about to leave, a disgusting voice was heard.
"Hey, who is that? Isn't this our Miss Qi Wu? Why are you leaving now? Don't you want to come and play with us?"
You may not know this yet, but our Miss Qi Wu is a talented woman, so I think the one next to her should be no bad either.
We're going to play a game, girl, come join us, there's a prize for winning."
Hearing what Zhao Lingling said, Qi Yuyao clenched her hands hanging at her sides into fists, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. She knew that she did it on purpose. How could she not know that she had never liked poetry and songs, so how could she be called a talented woman?
When Qu Jingyao saw her aunt's expression, she knew that she had suffered a lot from her, so she curled her lips and smiled slightly.
He whispered in his aunt's ear, "Aunt, do you want revenge? See how Yao'er helps you slap her in the face."
After she finished speaking, Qu Jingyao asked her calmly what the prize was. If the prize was not attractive, she would not accept it. She did not want to waste time on such trivial matters.
When everyone heard her words, they sneered and talked about it in a mocking manner.
This woman is really shameless. I wonder which family she belongs to.
"She is with that Qi family member, so she can't be from the Qi family, right?"
"You don't know this. She just helped Miss Qi once and then she started to get close to her."
"So that's how it is? I was wondering who it was!"
Qi Yuyao yelled at them angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. Yao'er is... my good friend."
Qu Jingyao didn't care about what they said, raised her eyebrows and asked Zhao Lingling whether she agreed or not.
"Haha...you really come from a poor, remote village. Fine! Since you're interested in the prize, I'll bet with you. I'll bet ten thousand taels. What's your prize?"
Zhao Lingling raised her chin proudly.
Qi Yuyao and his sister beside him were about to speak angrily, but Qu Jingyao stopped them.
"Don't be angry. It's not worth it to deal with such a person. Just wait and see how I slap her in the face." Qu Jingyao blinked her eyes and comforted the two of them.
