Chapter 77

Su Yue was thinking about the goodbye on the first day of the new year.

Before dawn, people woke up.

He opened his eyes and turned his head. In the yellowish candlelight, he saw a figure in crimson clothes sitting on the chair in front of the bed.

Seeing her wake up, Xie Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No matter how late it is, we won't be able to catch up with the incense."

There is a custom of offering incense here in Hangzhou, so many people rush to Lingyin Temple before dawn. They go late, let alone the incense, and even people can’t squeeze in. After the time of day, offering incense again is tantamount to missing out. It's the perfect hour.

Su Yue glanced at the sky outside, quickly got out of the quilt, and complained while putting on her clothes: "Master, why didn't you call me earlier?"

The corner of Xie Jue's lips twitched, and he held her down and said, "Okay, anyway, your hair fragrance will definitely not be able to keep up, come on, give me New Year's greetings first."

Su Yue was stunned for a moment.

Xie Jue's face darkened.

Su Yue hurriedly clasped her hands together and said, "My little one wishes the third master a New Year's greeting. I wish the third master everything goes well this year, safety and health, a smooth career, a good marriage, and a happy marriage!"

After finishing speaking, she blinked her eyes innocently and looked at Xie Jue, who had a darker complexion.

It was you who made me wish you New Year's greetings without even getting dressed!
The corners of Xie Jue's eyes twitched, thinking that at least he could still hear the previous sentence, and the latter two sentences could be realized in a few years, so his face softened a little.

He took out twenty [-]-count notes from his sleeve, handed them to her and said, "Hey, New Year's money."

Stars popped out of Su Yue's eyes, and while shaking her hands to pick it up, she wondered if she had said less compliments just now, if she said more, the lucky money might have doubled.

As soon as Jiaozi received it, Xie Jue grabbed his wrist.

Su Yue looked at him puzzled, and thought, don't you think it's too much to take back?
Xie Jue stared at her hand that wanted to put it in his arms and said, "Put that gem box of yours in it, don't put it on your body, what if someone sees it while changing clothes and gets greedy?"

I still want to cover my chest!
no way!

Su Yue thinks about it too. In the past, there were no girls who handled it by themselves. At most, Xie Jue saw it. Now that she has a girl, she also wants to live a life of an exploitative class with a coat for her hands. The money can't be put on her body.

Turning over and getting out of bed, he took out the box containing the top-quality gemstones and diamonds, took out the key hanging from the red string around his neck, and opened the small box.

This box was bought in Baghdad. It is not big, but the lock is very delicate. Not only does it need a key, but it also needs to be turned a few times to open it.

Portable and safe.

Putting a stack of jiaozi on top of the almost full box of gems, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Xie Jue frowned unconsciously.

Then he took out some [-] to [-] sticks from his sleeve and handed them to her: "These are usually used, don't put them on your body, just put them in the box on the dressing table."

Su Yue put the box in her hand away, took the stack, and locked it into the jewelry box on the dressing table.

This jewelry box is divided into four layers, and it was given by Yinlou when Xie Qi went to pick up the finished jewelry.

After those gemstones were ground out, most of them were rubies and sapphires of excellent quality, as well as two stars and one cat's eye.

Yinlou made a set of red gold head and face inlaid with rubies, a string of sapphire bracelets, five golden silk pendant ruby ​​and sapphire nobiles, three pairs of red sapphire earrings, a pair of star gemstone earrings, and a cat's eye pendant inlaid with garnets. The golden step shakes, and there are two multi-treasure flower hairpins.

These jewelry are valuable, and they were carefully placed in the partition of the lower two floors by the silver building.

There are two empty floors above, and Su Yue put those jade pieces on the top floor, and those pieces of jewelry on the second floor (best to take).

And under the jewelry box, there is a thin dark layer, which is used for Jiaozi.

(There is also a cash box for silver coins)

Seeing that Su Yue put it away, Xie Jue said, "Groom up first, don't worry, Mr. Gu will go with you when it's done."

Huh?

Su Yue was surprised: "Aren't you going?"

Xie Jue smiled slightly, flicked his finger on her forehead and said, "I'll wait for you, the incense is someone else's."

As he said that, he had already walked outside, while letting Zheng Qi, who was waiting outside, call for the green bamboo that was blocked outside, while he and Xie Qi ran outside quickly.

Outside, Zheng Fa was already waiting with the three horses, and when they came out, he handed over the reins of the horses.

The three got on their horses and rushed towards Lingyin Temple.

The sky was still dark, and there were still a few miles away from De Lingyin Temple. The carriages on the road had already crowded into a row, and the lanterns on the carriages were lit up in a line.

Xie Jue and Xie Qi jumped off their horses, threw the reins to Zheng Fa, and the two walked around on the mountain road beside the road.

As soon as the matter was finished yesterday, Xie Jue took Luo Lu and the others to the Lingyin Temple to occupy a place in the middle of the night.

It's just that at the beginning, he thought about giving Su Yue lucky money, so he ran back with Xie Qi.

Although the rest of these people are not strong enough, they have good kung fu.

No matter how many people there are, they still firmly guard the front position.

It's just that the sky is getting brighter, and the monks inside are starting to move around, so I'm still a little anxious.

Just thinking about whether to create some tenses to delay the time.

I saw Xie Jue and Xie Qi forcing their way in along the wall.

While squeezing Xie Qi, he told Humanity that we had lined up a long time ago, but we went out just now, you see our people are still there.

It caused the people next to me to scream, how could it take so long to come out.

Che Ling held back his laughter, and several people connected together, brought Xie Jue over and made him stand in the first position.

Xie Jue let out a long breath, and touched the jade piece in his bosom.

It was a piece of top-quality suet white jade that he found from the owner of the Yinlou, and he found the old craftsman who made the safety buckle to carve it into a pendant of the Buddha's lotus seat.

It's a pity that no matter how much money he asks, Master Yanshou refuses to see him, let alone consecrate him.

However, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the one who rings the bell is Master Yanshou, and those who offer incense can get the blessing of Master Yanshou's mana.

Whatever happens today, Master Yanshou has to consecrate it!
Before the first ray of dawn appeared, the gate of Lingyin Temple opened.

As soon as the door opened, the people outside did not dare to squeeze, and lined up one by one.

Zhike saw that the one standing in the first place was Mr. Xie who had visited the door no less than five times in the past month, donated [-] guan for the sesame oil money, and was persistent in wanting to be consecrated by Master Longevity.

He showed a Buddha-like smile.

Then he led Xie Jue into the main hall and burned the first incense stick.

(everyone else keeps out the door)
Xie Jue first placed the jade hanging in front of the Buddha, then knelt down and kowtowed sincerely.

When the bell on the bell tower rang for the first ray of sunlight.

Piously, he put the first injection of incense in the incense burner.

Then he knelt down on the futon in front of the Buddha, chanting sutras and glaring at the wise guest.

(Master Yanshou does not give blessings to the consecration, so I just won’t leave)

Zhike was in desperation, Master Yanshou walked down from the bell tower, walked to the Buddha table, and began to chant scriptures and blessings.

The bell on the bell tower kept ringing, and the pilgrims outside lined up to offer incense one by one.

In the main hall, there was only the sound of Master Yanshou chanting scriptures.

Master Yanshou didn't stop until the bell stopped.

Picking up the pendant and walking in front of Xie Jue, he spread his palms and said to Xie Jue, "Young Master Xie, the first incense costs [-] guan."

Xie Jue: Can you scold a monk before the Buddha?
