Chapter 32
Zuo Xiangning nodded to him and lowered the car curtain.

Gu Zhiqing looked at the shaking car curtain and said to Zuo Ziteng with a smile: "If the fourth girl agrees, let's go to the Jingyin Temple in front to have a vegetarian meal? Today is Master Hongyi's lecture day."

Zuo Xiangning, who was separated by a curtain, felt something in her heart.

In her previous life, Miss Ling, who lived next door to her, often went to Jingyin Temple to listen to scriptures.

"Fourth sister, are you going?" Zuo Ziteng opened the car curtain, bent down and asked Zuo Xiangning, who was squinting at him from inside, "Master Hongyi only lectures once a month, what are they selling outside Jingyin Temple?" All."

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lower lip, nodded and said, "Okay."

Zuo Ziteng smiled and said, "Tell me what your fourth sister wants, and I'll buy it for you."

Zuo Xiangning smiled and nodded.

Gu Zhiqing could only see a pointed and small chin next to him.

He was secretly feeling strange. He considered himself handsome and polite, and girls from all over the country spoke highly of him.

Even the third girl from the Zuo Mansion looked around him coquettishly and shyly when they saw him. How come the fourth girl from the Zuo Mansion didn't even look at him?

Could it be that she not only has a bad mind, but also has bad eyesight?
It's such a shame as she has such a pleasing appearance.

Jingyin Temple is located in the canyon between two mountains, built against the mountains.

The open space outside the mountain gate was full of people, selling various small items and fruit snacks.

It was Zuo Xiangning's first time to come to Jingyin Temple. She got off the carriage and followed Panxia in the crowd, looking curiously as she walked forward.

Zuo Ziteng, who was walking in front with Gu Zhiqing, looked back from time to time to wait for her.

When Zuo Xiangning picked up the hairpin carved from bamboo at a small stall for the third time and looked around, Zuo Ziteng walked up to her unbearably, paid the money, and stuffed the hairpin she had just put down into her hand. Then he took her arm and walked forward.

"With these things, what else can I buy?" Zuo Ziteng said dissatisfied.

"This is for my second brother." Zuo Xiangning handed the green hairpin engraved with the shape of a bamboo leaf to Zuo Ziteng.

Zuo Ziteng usually likes to wear cyan clothes, which matches the color of the bamboo hairpin very well.

Zuo Ziteng took it and looked at it, and said disgustedly: "How could I wear such a rough thing?"

He put the hairpin in his sleeve and urged Zuo Xiangning to move forward quickly.

"These sellers are here all day long, but Master Hongyi only lectures in the morning, and no longer hears anything later."

"Second brother, go first, I'll be there soon." Zuo Xiangning was not interested in preaching.

"There are a lot of people today. What if someone with no eyesight bumps into you?" Zuo Ziteng walked on the outside of her to help her block the crowd coming down the mountain.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Ziteng who was looking impatient in surprise.

She didn't expect that he would be so attentive.

The path up the mountain is slightly steep, paved with bluestone slabs, and winds all the way up the mountainside.

Among the green trees, you can vaguely see the towering temple.

The bright yellow walls and vermilion tiles are covered with a layer of smoke.

The noise at the foot of the mountain was completely isolated, and only the sound of chanting could be heard faintly from behind the wall.

Zuo Xiangning followed Zuo Ziteng and sat at the edge of the hall.

The kind-hearted Master Hongyi is teaching the Heart Sutra.

Zuo Xiangning was not interested in Buddhism at all, and when she saw Gu Zhiqing not far away, listening extremely seriously like a devout believer, she sneered even more.Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. This is for good people.

Zuo Xiangning looked around but didn't see Miss Ling. She stood up quietly, walked out of the hall, and walked up the mountain along the bluestone road outside the wall.

I heard that there is a thousand-year-old tree on the back hill of Shizune Temple that even ten people holding hands cannot hold.

She could see the towering tree with dense leaves from a distance, and the crown of the tree was covered with wooden plaques, sachets, and red cloth strips for blessings.

Zuo Xiangning walked to the big tree and looked up at the wooden sign hanging from the branch. What was written on it were nothing more than auspicious words such as "Nominated for the Gold List" and "Forever Together".

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips lightly.

"If everyone gets what they want, how can there be so much bitterness, sourness, and sweetness in the world?"

"What the girl said is true." A man's clear voice came from the other side of the big tree, and then a handsome man wearing a white shirt and an imposing figure came out.

Zuo Xiangning's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and the person who came turned out to be Gu Zhicheng, her nominally fake husband in her previous life.

In the previous life, part of the reason why Jiang and her eldest sister finally agreed to her marrying Gu Zhicheng was because of his outstanding appearance.

"But one has to have some hope, right?" Gu Zhicheng looked at Zuo Xiangning's delicate and tender face and said with a smile, "Otherwise, what's the point of living?"

Zuo Xiangning recalled in her heart that she seemed to have met him once in her previous life. She couldn't remember when.

She couldn't understand why such an outstanding person would act under the name of that fool from the Gu family.
"Girl?" Gu Zhicheng saw her staring straight at him, obviously fascinated, and couldn't help but deepen the smile on his face.

"Everyone is listening to Master Hongyi's sermon in the main hall. Why did the girl come here alone?" Gu Zhicheng looked around and said, "Although it is a quiet place in Buddhism, we can't guarantee that everything will be safe. Shall I take the girl back to the front hall?"

"Don't worry, sir." Although Zuo Xiangning was curious about the true identity of the man in front of her, she did not want to have too much interaction with him.

She turned and walked down the mountain.

"Which family does the girl belong to?" Gu Zhicheng followed her, "Do you need me to take you home?"

Zuo Xiangning stopped, turned around and frowned: "I told you, don't bother me!"

"I mean no harm, don't be upset, girl." Gu Zhicheng looked at her cute little face and said with a smile.

Zuo Xiangning glared at him, turned around and walked down the mountain, but after taking only two steps, she found that Gu Zhicheng was still following her.

She stopped and turned around, saying solemnly: "Mr. Gu, please respect yourself!"

"You actually know that my surname is Gu?" Gu Zhicheng had a strange look on his face.

Zuo Xiangning realized that she had made a mistake, pretended not to hear what he said, and said in a cold voice: "I told you not to bother the young master, but the young master is still entangled like this. It is really unbecoming of a gentleman."

"Young lady has misunderstood. I was just thinking about the front hall. This road is the only way down the mountain." Gu Zhicheng said with a simple smile: "How about I stand still here and wait for the girl to go far away before I leave? "

Zuo Xiangning secretly bit her lower lip.

Zuo Xiangning was secretly annoyed. Why didn't her mind stop turning whenever she saw the Gu family?

She didn't want him to stare at her from behind.

She lowered her head and moved a step to the side to get out of the mountain road, "Sir, please go first."

"Thank you, girl." Gu Zhicheng smiled and nodded, walking past Zuo Xiangning gracefully.

The moment the two of them passed each other, Gu Zhiqing's shocked and angry voice sounded from the bottom of the mountain, "Gu Zhicheng, what are you doing with Miss Zuo Si?"

Zuo Xiangning felt nervous, had she fallen into their trap again?
