Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 215 Asking for a marriage lottery
Shuiyue Temple is located on Shuiyue Mountain, and the reason why this mountain is called Shuiyue Mountain is because there is a large lake in the middle of the mountain, and there are several small lakes around the mountain. When it rises, these places with water will reflect the shadow of the moon, so this beautiful and poetic name is taken.

Moreover, it is said that Shuiyue Temple has a large area, directly including the lake in the center of Shuiyue Mountain, which is also one of the main features of Shuiyue Temple.

Because of Song Ning's descriptions, Han Duyue became more interested in Shuiyue Temple, and almost couldn't wait to rush up directly.

When they arrived at the foot of Shuiyue Mountain, they needed to transfer to a sedan chair specially used for mountain climbing. Han Duyue and others got out of the carriage first.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Han Duyue looked up at the layers of stone steps in front of her, and couldn't help admiring the ingenious workmanship of the workers here from the bottom of her heart.

Under such a level of productivity, they can build such high and neat steps and complete the construction of a nunnery on the top of the mountain. This is a test of the perseverance and level of these people.

Looking at the row of sedan chairs parked at the foot of the mountain, to be honest, Han Duyue was a little worried about the safety of this climbing method, so she had an idea and asked with a smile: "Song Ning, I don't think this step is at all Steep, can we try to climb up with our feet?"

"But this mountain is very high, aren't you afraid of being tired?" Song Ning was afraid that Han Duyue would be tired.

Han Duyue felt that since the mountain is not short, it should not be possible that there are sedan chairs at the foot of the mountain. After all, she must not be the only one who wants to experience the feeling of mountain climbing, right?
"Song Ning, is there no sedan chair like this on the way up the mountain?" It stands to reason that it is impossible for only two people to lift the sedan chair up such a long distance, right?What if it's halfway up and can't move?

Song Ning glanced up: "There is also a place to park the sedan chair on the way. Since Xiaoyue said so, why don't we climb up first?"

The last half sentence was for Han Qingmei and the others.

Han Qingmei is used to working at home. Although she has never climbed such a high mountain, she also wanted to feel it. Naturally, she readily agreed. Li Hao has never had any objections, and Xiaonian likes to join in the fun, so the matter is settled like this down.

In the process of climbing up, Han Duyue didn't walk fast. She knew that if she exerted too much force at this time, she would be unable to continue later, so she simply chatted with Song Ning while walking up slowly.

And every time he walked to a buffered and spacious crosswalk, Han Duyue would stop for a while to rest, and he could also take a look at the scenery by the way.

In fact, although some people went up the mountain in sedan chairs, there were also many people who walked up the mountain with their feet, which made Han Duyue feel a lot easier subconsciously.

When she finally climbed halfway up the steps, Han Duyue still felt unable to do what she wanted. Sure enough, this matter looked very simple, but it was quite difficult to actually implement it.

Xiao Nian over there had long since died, and was directly carried by Song Er on his shoulders. When he first noticed this scene, Han Duyue suddenly had a sense of shame in his heart, because she had also sat on the Over Song Ning's shoulder!
"Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you behind your back, or like Xiaonian..." Before Song Ning could finish her proposal, Han Duyue sternly rejected it.

"No, I'm a woman. It's too embarrassing to be in broad daylight like this!" Han Duyue blushed and refused, and gave Song Ning a glance. This person definitely did it on purpose.

Song Ning shrugged slightly, expressing that she was actually very pure and innocent.

After climbing for a while, Han Duyue finally couldn't move anymore. After discussing with Han Qingmei, Han Duyue and Song Ning went up in the sedan chair first, while the rest continued to climb up.

Looking at Li Hao who was talking and laughing with his mother, Han Duyue turned around and got into the sedan chair without saying anything.

Before, she was worried that the sedan chair was not safe, but just now she saw too many sedan chairs going up and down along the way, so this sense of crisis has long been replaced by curiosity, and it seems good to try riding a sedan chair.

These bearers were obviously very professional, and the two carried the sedan chairs one by one and walked quickly, and they arrived at the gate of the nunnery in almost no time.

Because the two are on the sedan chair in the second half, the price is relatively cheap, and each person counts ten cents.

Looking at the tall and majestic nunnery in front of him, Han Duyue put his hands together subconsciously and said: "Amitabha."

It seemed that a bell sounded from far away, ethereal and majestic, which made people feel dazed. Han Duyue took a deep breath, and pulled Song Ning into Shuiyue Nunnery together.

Entering the mountain gate, you will see a lotus pond with an elegant environment, and the pond is full of weeping willows. Crossing the stone bridge on the lotus pond, you will be facing the Temple of Heavenly Kings.

Along the way, the unique fragrance from the nunnery, coupled with the curling green smoke, and the faint sound of chanting from the Temple of Heavenly Kings, makes people feel as if all the troubles and fetters are gone, and only empty chanting is left. by sound.

"I have to say, it seems that this place can really cultivate people's sentiments." Han Duyue took a deep breath, watching the pilgrims coming and going, feeling good for a while.

Song Ning nodded with a smile, the two of them did not enter the Temple of Heavenly Kings, but walked back around the outside of the Buddha Hall, neither of them came to burn incense, so they did not squeeze into crowded places.

But after bypassing the Temple of Heavenly Kings, Han Duyue found that there was a Buddhist hall behind, and there were more people in this Buddhist hall than before, so she couldn't help sighing: "There are so many people here."

"This is the Guanyin Hall, where you can ask for a child or a marriage." Song Ning seemed to have thought of something, and directly took Han Duyue's hand and said, "Since we are here, why don't we also ask for a marriage."

"Hey, do you believe this too?" Han Duyue was dragged forward by Song Ning, somewhat hesitant, to be honest, she didn't really believe this.

Song Ning just smiled softly: "Since you're here, you can't do nothing, right? Besides, this matter is actually very interesting."

Maybe it's really interesting, Han Duyue also thinks it should be interesting, but...

"Then if we get a bad lottery later, will you be unhappy because of it?" Han Duyue asked subconsciously.

Song Ning shook her head without thinking, "Of course not."

"Then if we get the upper lottery later, will you be happy?" Han Duyue was satisfied with the answer, thought for a while, and continued to ask.

Song Ning paused for a while, then smiled and glanced at Han Duyue: "Probably yes."

If the lottery is really drawn, Han Duyue will also be very happy. This is probably the legend that good things are believed in, and bad things are believed in nothing.

After entering the Guanyin Hall, there was already a long line for lottery requests. Han Duyue and Song Ning stood at the back of the line, looking at the surrounding situation by the way.

In the center of the Avalokitesvara Hall stands a huge Avalokitesvara statue. In front of the Avalokitesvara statue is a Buddha case. In front of the case are many incense candles and three futons for pilgrims to worship Buddha.

Han Duyue was queuing up here when he suddenly saw a man rushing in, followed by several men.

"Everyone get out, all of them get out, there are noble people coming to the door, hurry up and get out." As soon as the man entered the door, he immediately drove the people in the Buddhist hall out, with a very rude attitude.

Han Duyue was a little confused about the situation, and looked at Song Ning subconsciously. At this moment, Song Ning was also frowning slightly. After thinking about it, she patted Han Duyue's hand comfortingly, and then said in a low voice: "You first Wait here, I'll go over and ask, don't run into these people, understand?"

"Don't worry, I will be careful." Han Duyue nodded repeatedly, watching Song Ning walk towards those people, as if negotiating something.

Song Ning has seen this person before, this person is the housekeeper of Cheng's family in Fucheng, speaking of Cheng's family in Fucheng is considered a famous family, a scholarly family, but she doesn't know what is going on today.

"May I ask why Butler Cheng came here today? Why did he do this?" Song Ning asked bluntly after walking over.

The man was still very impatient, when he saw Song Ning, he hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out that it is the third son of Song, and the third son of Song came to worship Buddha today? This place is good, and the Guanyin here is very effective! To be honest with the third son of Song Dynasty, our young lady came to Shuiyue Nunnery to fulfill her vows on a special trip. Now that the young lady is pregnant, the young master is afraid that there will be too many people here to bump into the young lady, so he ordered me to come here first to prepare fan."

It turned out that Mrs. Cheng's young lady begged for a child here before, and it really came true, so she came here pregnant to fulfill her wish.

As for the so-called "come here and prepare first", it is natural that the people in the Buddhist temple were directly driven out.

"It turned out to be like this, so I have to congratulate the young master and young lady of the Cheng family first." After congratulating, Song Ning paused slightly, and said in a pleasant voice, "It's just that there are a lot of people here. If you forcefully invite these people Going out, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, but it's better for Steward Cheng to arrange a few more people to accompany the young lady, isn't it the same?"

Steward Cheng thought that Song Ning was worried that he would kick him out too, so he hurriedly said with a smile, "Don't worry, Third Young Master Song, we will naturally not delay the third Young Master Song's business."

Over there, Han Duyue saw that Song Ning and Cheng Butler had already said a few words, but they hadn't come to a conclusion yet, and many people here had been kicked out, so they had no choice but to walk over.

Steward Cheng naturally noticed Han Duyue, and saw Han Duyue standing beside Song Ning calmly, but he couldn't find this person in his mind, so he could only presumptuously ask: "Mr. Song, who is this? "

"This is my fiancée," Song Ning smiled, and said to Han Duyue, "Xiaoyue, this is the housekeeper of the Cheng family."

Han Duyue smiled sweetly: "Hello, Butler Cheng."

"So it's the third son Song's fiancee. I've admired her for a long time." Steward Cheng didn't know that Song Ning was engaged, so when he first heard about it, he couldn't help but look at Han Duyue a few more times.
