As a woman who loves life and gossip, she was somewhat disappointed because before she could get a good look at the man's appearance, he was surrounded by a group of people and taken away. 79 Free Net 79 Miao led Madam Peony and others forward again, walking to the corner of the hall and turning around, where Madam Peony saw a figure flashing quickly near the moon gate in the distance. Then a fat monk walked towards them with a smile on his face, bowing to Mrs. Cen and saying "Amitabha".

  Madam Cen returned the courtesy and smiled: "Master Hui Sheng."

  Na Hui Sheng and the monk swept a glance at Peony, smiling: "Just now, I heard that Nü Dan was going to replace the Buddha's golden body?"

  Madam Cen said, "Exactly." This October, He Zhizhong and Dalang are going to sea again to purchase goods, and Mudan's lifelong career has not been settled yet. Wu Lang's wife is also about to give birth, so they must make a good show of filial piety in front of the Buddha and ask for his blessings for everyone's peace and prosperity.

  Na Hui Sheng and the monk took the opportunity to boast about Mrs. Cen, and then began to expound on Buddhist scriptures with her. Seeing Peony looking bored and listless by their side, he smiled and said: "There's a releasing-life pond behind the wall of the temple, where there are over ten old red carp, as well as two white cranes from Hua Ting, which everyone loves to go see. Why don't you go take a look?"

  The peony was not very interested in the red carp and the white crane, but smiled and said: "May I ask, Master, is there a peony or a herb like that in this temple?"

  Hui Sheng laughed and said, "There is. Near the liberation pool, there is an old peony tree that bloomed with a flower this spring. The colors include positive halo, negative halo, light red, light purple, purple white, and even layered pagodas. Unfortunately, it's not flowering season now, but Nü Tan still wants to go see it?"

  Peony heard that there was such a flower, and at the time, she showed green light in her eyes, looking eagerly at Mrs. Kun. Mrs. Kun had also been to that place before, and knew it was not far away, thinking that if someone shouted, they could hear it, so she smiled and said: "You and Yuhe go, I'll stay here and finish talking with Master Hui Sheng, then call Fenger's wife over to shout for you."

  Xiaoyi immediately led Peony and Yuhe through the moon gate to the next room. Inside, they saw a delicate small courtyard with a small pond in the center, surrounded by weeping willows, and several purple wisterias blooming beautifully at the corner of the wall. Two cranes were lying under the trees as if taking a nap. The peony flowers were planted beside a pavilion.

  Behind the pavilion, a man in a dark brown robe with a round collar sat facing them. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head and smiled gently at Peony, it was Li Yi.

  Yu He blinked, carefully looking at Peony's expression. Peony looked at the little monk, who put his hands together in a prayer-like gesture and said, "I'll go get some fish food for Miss Tuan Yu."

  Peony hesitated for a moment, took a step forward and walked towards Li Wei with a smile, bowing slightly: "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect to run into you here."

  Li Wei didn't respond, but instead carefully examined Peony for a moment. She saw that Peony was wearing a crimson silk narrow-sleeved short jacket and a matching eight-panel long skirt, her hair styled in a low bun with a jade-encrusted hairpin adorned with a dragonfly-shaped ornament. Her complexion looked rosier than before, and her smile was even more radiant. As he drew closer, the faint scent of lotus flowers wafted up to his nostrils, and he took a deep breath of the fragrance emanating from Peony's body before saying, "I didn't expect to run into you here either. It's been a long time."

  "Also not long, just more than half a month."

  She remembered how long it had been since they last met! Li Yi's eyes sparkled, her lips moved slightly, and seeing Yu He's uneasy expression beside her, she changed to a gentle tone: "The Ning Wangfei is about to give birth soon, so the Ning Wang Gongzi specially came to this Nourishing Life Temple to donate medicine and rice, visit the sick and the suddenly impoverished. I happened to have a batch of medicine in my hand, so I also followed the summons to deliver it. Just now, after finishing, I followed everyone out, and unintentionally took a glance, and actually saw you and your aunt."

  The peony only then knew that the person wearing a silver and white robe was Ning Wang, and the small courtyard was a nursing home for patients, beggars, disabled people and poor children in the temple at that time.

  Li Wei smiled shyly and said, "I have two things I want to say to you, so please excuse me, Master Hui Sheng." Originally, he didn't plan on saying it now, but thinking about what his mother had said to Mrs. Cen last time, and the unusual way the He family treated him, made him feel a bit uneasy. Seeing that everything was ready except for the east wind, and coincidentally running into Peony today, he couldn't help but want to share his plans with her.

  Peony's heart skipped a beat, she looked up at Li Wei and smiled generously: "Brother, what instructions do you have? Just tell me. If I can do it, I won't decline."

  Li Yi's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Peony, and didn't avoid Rain Lotus: "It wasn't an order, nor did I ask you to do anything... The pearl I bought with my uncle's help last time hasn't been given yet, and I've also accumulated some merits. Just waiting for the princess to give birth smoothly, then I'll take the opportunity to ask the lord for a favor."

  Is this considered a compromise confession? Peony, who had never encountered such a situation before, couldn't help but blush slightly under Li's piercing gaze, despite her thick skin. She pretended to be confused and smiled: "Dan Niang wishes you a bright future in advance, Brother-in-law."

  Li Wei saw that Peony's snow-white skin suddenly flushed with a hint of pink, her eyes half-closed, and her long, thick eyelashes quivering slightly. She didn't dare to look at herself, clearly embarrassed. His heart couldn't help but feel sweet, thinking that although Peony didn't say anything on the surface, she had already understood his meaning.

  But he was also worried, as Ning Wangfei's situation was not good, and that's why Ning Wang came here to donate gold, silver, rice, medicine, and visit the sick and the poor, hoping to get Buddha's blessing for a smooth delivery. Ning Wang and Ning Wangfei had a deep affection for each other, but if anything went wrong, he would have a hard time speaking up again, and would have to rely on Xu Xu's help. At home, it was clear that they no longer intended to let him do as he pleased - Cui Furen was already looking for a suitable daughter from an official or scholarly family for him to marry, and had even sent one of his servants to ask about his situation outside.

  The heart of the peony. Free love, although not uncommon here, is also not common. The Li and He families are not close relatives, but distant cousins separated by several generations, so there's no need to worry about the problem of close relatives within a certain number of generations being unable to marry. Li Wei is a good person, treats her well, and gets along with the He family. When faced with such things, she can think of ways to deal with them, work hard to solve problems, and is a very good match.

  She had a good impression of Li Wei, but it was limited to that. If they had more time and opportunities to interact, maybe they would really fall in love. But did she want to rely on Li Wei's achievements to seek favors and let him do things his whole family and superiors didn't like? Even in modern society, where parents' opinions hold significant weight, how much happiness can an unhappy marriage bring? If she followed him, it might be okay if everything went smoothly, but what if they encountered difficulties? Would he blame her or regret his impulsive decision at the time? But if she missed this chance, who would she meet next? Maybe he wasn't even the kind of person she thought he was. Peony's calmness, which had been maintained for some time, was completely disrupted by this subtle confession, and for a moment, she felt quite torn.

  The two of them were both worried, and for a moment they didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. But Ruyu had understood Liyi's intentions since she heard his plan, and seeing him suddenly lose his resentment, she found him even more pleasing to the eye, and couldn't wait for the two of them to quickly settle down. At this moment, seeing the two of them standing a few steps apart, both looking down at the ground with their eyes cast down, neither of them speaking, Ruyu thought they were both too shy to speak up, and Peony's face was even thinner, so she didn't dare say anything in front of her. She decided to help the two of them out, and clearing her throat, said: "I'll go see if Madam has finished speaking."

  Li Yi Ba couldn't bear it and urged her to hurry, but Peony hesitated again. "No need," she said, "we've been here for quite some time now, Madam's people will probably be coming over to call us soon."

  Li Wei was slightly disappointed and said reluctantly, "Yes, no need to look anymore. Since we've met, I'll go and pay my respects to Aunt." Now, he still wanted to seize the opportunity to exchange a few more words with Peony. He wanted a clear answer, rather than just seeing Peony blush and be shy.

  Yu He saw this and although he didn't really go look for Cen's wife, he also stood a bit further away, leaving space for the two to talk.

  Li Yi quietly said in a voice that was almost inaudible to the rain-soaked lotus: "Dan Niang, don't be afraid, whatever it is, just tell me... I'll always be good to you..."

  "Brother, you know that I've just gone through a mismatched marriage where my in-laws didn't like me. The main reason was that they looked down on me for not being able to help my husband's career. I understand how hard and embarrassing it is to live with such difficulties. Although I know you... but living together isn't just about two people, I don't want to go through that again or be looked down upon, nor do I want to become a burden to you. It's exhausting. Brother, let's prioritize our own paths as before."

  The light in Li Yi's eyes gradually dimmed, and he knew that Peony was telling the truth. His parents and his heartthrob, who were more important? Neither could be given up. His parents had high expectations of him, even if Ning Wang agreed, they would still be disappointed in their hearts, not to mention what they would do to Peony... It was he who was eager to succeed, and shouldn't have told Peony about this first, should have waited until the water flowed into the channel before speaking. Anyway, she couldn't get married immediately, as long as he found someone, it wasn't possible to get married immediately either.

  Li Wei's heart turned a thousand times, and she finally suppressed the emotions in her heart, smiled faintly, and no longer mentioned this matter. Instead, she said: "What did you come here for today?"

  The end of this chapter.

  Today is the only point, overtime for both today and tomorrow, this week's workload is very large, very tired. Tomorrow is my birthday, shyly asking everyone for pink tickets, no pink ticket friends also give a few recommendation tickets to encourage.
