Shen Xiangyan and Xia Rong took another break before climbing up the mountain. The incense in Foguang Temple is very strong, and there is an endless stream of people who come here every year to burn incense and worship Buddha. After entering the main hall, a golden Buddha statue came into view. Seeing Xia Rong kneeling in front of the Buddha statue devoutly offering incense and making a wish, Shen Xiangyan also bowed three times along with him. He has never believed in Buddha, but his situation It is clear that it is to bring the dead back to life, and he cannot tolerate his disbelief.

Kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, Shen Xiangyan sincerely thanked God for giving him this opportunity, allowing him to come back from the dead and find someone in this place who can spend his life with him, but this is enough, he is still the one who only believes in Of course, he would not make any wishes to the Buddha. The most important thing for him was Rong'er, and Rong'er's life's peace and joy would also be given by him.

After burning incense, Xia Rong tugged on the gentleman's sleeve and asked him to wait for him in front of the hall. Shen Xiangyan stood in front of the hall and waited for Xia Rong as promised, but after standing there for a while, he saw an old monk with a benevolent face walking steadily towards him, and saluted with one hand in front of him, "Amitabha." Shen Xiangyan also He saluted the monk back.

"The poor monk's dharma name is very lonely. I see that the benefactor is destined for me. I wonder if I would like to accompany the poor monk to his residence for a cup of tea."

Listening to Shen Xiangyan's words, if it wasn't for this place, he would have thought he had encountered a charlatan, so after thinking about it, he agreed, and followed Master Jinji to his residence, but he didn't forget to leave a person waiting for Zhengjun, so that Xia Rong came back to look for him and couldn't find any worries.

———————

After talking with Xianggong, Xia Rong ran to the temple to fill in some incense money, and begged for a blessing, and then she was satisfied and prepared to go back to find Xianggong, but halfway was stopped by the little girl next to Xia's mother, Xia Rong was heartbroken. He was puzzled, but since his mother sent someone to look for him, it was not easy to refuse.

Seeing Xia Rong and the others approaching, Madam Yu went up to invite them into the room. After entering the room, Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Rong was going to salute her, and personally stepped forward to help him up, "You child, why do you see me like this?" In addition, those who are still saluting with their own mothers, come sit down and talk to mothers."

Faced with Xia's mother who suddenly made a lot of affection, Xia Rong felt a little wary in her heart. His mother had always been very indifferent to him, and she didn't know what to say to him today. He was originally not good at talking in scenes, and now he didn't know how to reply, so he answered "yes" in a low voice and stopped talking.

Mrs. Xia didn't mind his appearance, so she asked Nanny Yu to bring him a cup of tea, and said softly, "Since I let you go to Shen's house, your father and I couldn't sleep well every night. Your first sister is not in good health, and your father and I really dote on her, fearing that she will marry too early and be unfit for her husband's family, that's why I decided to let you wait to marry."

Xia Rong bowed her head and listened to this, her heart skipped a beat, not knowing why her mother suddenly brought up this matter. Mrs. Xia paused and continued, "During this time, your father and I often think about the time we discussed marriage with the Shen family, and we also feel ashamed of the Shen family. Although your father and I are still reluctant, we finally decided to send your sister-in-law Get married, so that your father and I can feel more at ease."

After hearing her mother's words, Xia Rong raised her head and widened her eyes in disbelief, "Mother, then I..."

Xia Rong was about to continue, but was interrupted by Madam Xia holding her hand, "Mother knows that she has wronged you, but don't worry, your first sister will not treat you badly when she gets married, don't you two have a companion together?"

After hearing this, Xia Rong withdrew her hand from Mrs. Xia's hand. Thinking that Xianggong would marry someone else, she felt that there was a place in her heart that had been dug out. Tightening his sleeves, he still plucked up the courage to say seriously to Mother Xia, "Mother, my husband said he would only want me alone, so naturally he wouldn't marry his sister-in-law."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xia took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Silly boy, not to mention that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but even a man would want to marry a woman as his wife, don't you miss you?" Can't you hold your head up all the time when you're outside? Don't worry, as long as you nod your head, your husband won't say anything."

Mrs. Xia only thinks that he is still a child. How could it be possible for a man to say that he is only you alone, otherwise where would Xia Rong come from.

The fingers tugging at the sleeves trembled unconsciously. What he feared most was being told. He himself was a twin, which couldn't be changed. The husband loved him, but did he really not want to marry a woman? If it wasn't for the situation at the time Forced, the husband will not marry him.

Mrs. Xia didn't expect to convince him immediately, she had arranged for Xia Tian to meet Shen Xiangyan, and if he took Xia Rong for a walk later, and happened to meet the two behaving intimately, there was no room for his disbelief.

Seeing Mother Yu gesture to her, Mrs. Xia knew that it was arranged, so she got up and tidied up her clothes, "I heard that there is a forest behind this temple with a nice view, young master, please walk with me."

Xia Rong's heart is in a mess now, and she doesn't know what Xia's mother said, and he didn't resist when he saw someone trying to drag him away.

Here, Shen Xiangyan drank a few cups of tea made by himself in the very lonely room, and the two chatted happily. This master very lonely turned out to be the apprentice of the abbot of Foguang Temple, and finally got two strings of Buddhist beads from him. When he got out of the house, he saw a young man running towards him. The young man introduced himself as Xia's mother's side, and said that Xia Rong was looking for him in a hurry, so he sent him to call him over.

When Shen Xiangyan heard that his baby was looking for him, he hurriedly followed without caring about anything else. While walking, he asked the boy what was going on, but the boy only said that he was sent to look for him, but he hesitated when asked anything else. I didn't say anything, Shen Xiangyan didn't feel right when he heard the boy's reply, even if Xia Rong had something to look for him, why didn't he send the people around him to look for him, instead it was a boy next to Xia's mother.

Thinking that this matter must not be so simple, Shen Xiangyan unconsciously paid more attention to it, but after all, this matter is uncertain, what if his family's Rong'er really came to him, so he followed the boy quietly. .

Here Mother Xia took Xia Rong to walk in the forest for a while, and when she was about to reach a pavilion, she heard Xia Xia's voice coming from the pavilion, "You said someone sent you to invite me over, why haven't you seen anyone yet?"

"Miss, please wait a moment, my master will be here soon." A little girl replied.

Mother Xia smiled and said to Nanny Yu, "Let's wait here, I'm also curious to know who invited Ji Ji to our family, my mother will be annoyed if Ji Ji goes by now."

Mother Yu also smiled when she heard Xia's mother say this, and they waited under the cover of a forest. Xia Rong was wondering why his sister-in-law met with these people, but Xia's mother didn't stop her, what if it was a foreigner with Xia's reputation who came.

Just thinking about the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of the forest, and a man's voice, "Is the promised beauty here?" The man quickly entered the pavilion in three steps and two steps, and when Xia Tian's scolding came from the pavilion When the voice came out, Mother Xia's face was already ashen, "Hurry up and bring Miss here."

The distance is a bit far, Xia Tian can't see the man's face clearly, but the golden hair crown on his head can be seen from such a distance. Xia Rong didn't know why she watched the farce before she could react, so she was pulled away by a hand with a thin callus, which was a familiar touch, and she didn't need to guess to know it was her husband.

After taking his husband's hand and saying goodbye to Mrs. Xia, the two left the forest. Originally, they planned to lead Xia Rong out this time to relax, but there was such a commotion. Otherwise, he would have entered Mrs. Xia's game.

Looking at the sky, it was too late to go down the mountain. Shen Xiangyan explained to the monk here that he wanted to stay overnight, and the monk arranged a guest room for them as usual.

The room conditions for pilgrims in the temple are naturally not much better, but after all, in a pure place of Buddhism, everything can only be kept simple.

Before coming here, he heard that the vegetarian dishes in the temple were good, so Shen Xiangyan ordered He Xin to go and get some. They were common cabbage, radishes, fungus, etc., but they were finely cooked. Shen Xiangyan looked at Xia Rong who was sitting across from him with a worried look on his face, handed him a bowl of white rice and said, "Rong Er, try it, I heard that the vegetarian dishes here are not bad."

Xia Rong tasted it and thought it tasted pretty good, but because of what Xia's mother said just now, he really didn't have any appetite, so he couldn't eat the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and Shen Xiangyan didn't say anything. One mouthful was ready to be fed to Xia Rong.

Seeing that Xianggong wants to feed him, he is not a child of what age, Xia Rong is really embarrassed, and wants to grab the bowl from Xianggong's hand and eat it by himself, "Xianggong, I will do it myself."

Shen Xiangyan didn't care about his refusal, "Hey, open your mouth." Seeing a chopstick of fungus sticking to her mouth, Xia Rong had no choice but to open her mouth to eat. The two of you ate half a bowl of rice, and Shen Xiangyan finally Let him go.

After eating, Shen Xiangyan asked the servants to clean up. Then Shen Xiangyan picked up Xia Rong, let him sit on his lap and asked, "What's on Rong'er's mind? Can you tell my husband?"

Xia Rong is already used to the posture of sitting on the lap of the lord, she moved to find the most comfortable position and stopped moving, leaning in the arms of the lord, Xia Rong couldn't help but wonder if the lord would hug others like this He didn't want Xianggong to be someone else's, but if he said this, would Xianggong think that he was jealous of his husband, and he would not like him in the future? He was really not sure whether to say it or not.

"Rong'er, we are husband and wife, and we will live forever. I can't guess what you are thinking all the time, right? If you have something to say to me, of course I will tell you directly , so that there will be no unnecessary misunderstanding between the two of us." Shen Xiangyan slid down Xia Rong's back, and softly told him the way a husband and wife should get along.
