Chapter 771: Interpretation
Paula knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed silently.
Li Renyong's expression was completely different from hers. He just stood there, lowered his head slightly, and put his hands together.
Seeking Buddha?
It’s better to ask yourself.
After worshiping the Buddha, Li Renyong took out 20,000 yuan from his wallet and put it into the merit box.
He didn't know whether it was Paula's sincere prayer that worked, or the Korean won put in the merit incense that worked.
Anyway, the monk next to him nodded and smiled at him.
The two came to the fortune-telling place in the side hall.
Paula picked up the stick tube, shook it gently a few times, and a bamboo stick fell out.
"Ayong, help me take a look."
Li Renyong took the bamboo stick and looked at the Chinese characters on it.
"The world was created to create a good relationship, and everything will be perfect on auspicious days and at a good time. If you get this sign, it is not a small matter. People are loyal and upright, and the emperor will proclaim it. Great, really domineering."
The old monk next to him was stunned for a moment. There are not many people who understand Chinese characters nowadays.
Unless you specialize in Chinese literature.
"A very good fortune. This person must be praying for a career. This fortune symbolizes opportunity, fate, and loyalty, all gathered in one person."
Hearing this, Paula laughed.
"Ayong, do you want to shake it?"
Li Renyong handed the bamboo stick to the old monk and said, "Okay."
In fact, he had nothing to ask for.
Whether it is career or love, I am basically quite satisfied.
Then let’s take a look at our physical health.
After shaking the stick tube, a bamboo stick fell to the ground soon.
Li Renyong picked it up and said, "It is like a magpie leaving the forest. Everything should be done according to the heart. Master, how do you interpret this?"
The old monk smiled and said, "This one is considered to be in the upper middle level. It is meant to remind the holder to pay attention to mental health, maintain an optimistic attitude, and reduce stress."
Li Renyong shrugged. He was always optimistic.
Paula turned to the monk and said, "Do you have that in your temple..."
Li Renyong said softly, "Are you talking about the consecrated items?"
Paula clapped her hands and said, "Yes, that's right, it's the consecrated item."
The old monk was shocked.
Although he is a monk, he also gets paid.
Wuliangshou Temple is a municipal project, and both burning incense and interpreting divination sticks are free of charge.
The usual way to make extra money is from the money from incense sticks and the sales of consecrated pendants.
Moreover, the items that are consecrated are the biggest part.
Li Renyong leaned close to Paula's ear and said, "You really believe this? It's all fake."
Paula said, "We just want to feel at ease. If it's too expensive, we won't buy it."
Li Renyong sighed.
Paula, who never spends money recklessly, started to spend money recklessly this time.
"Master, do you have pendants in pairs?"
Li Renyong said casually: "Men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha."
Paula frowned and said, "I haven't heard of this."
The old monk said, "This is what China says. It seems that this layman is very familiar with China?"
Li Renyong said: "I am a little more familiar with you."
The old monk led the two to the side room, where in addition to a bed for sleeping, there was also a very small glass counter.
Li Renyong really couldn't understand what this operation was.
Security room, selling things at the same time?
There are only six jade pendants on the counter, one of which is jade inlaid with gold.
It looks like it should be the treasure of the temple.
Because the things here are the most expensive.
The old monk picked up a jade pendant and said, "The jade pendants here are all blessed. This female lay Buddhist can choose one."
Paula played with all the jade pendants except the one with gold and jade. She had no money to buy it and it looked very expensive.
Li Renyong said, "Boss, oh, no, Master, let me see the gold inlaid jade."
The old monk's face darkened for a moment, but he still took it out.
This is a Maitreya Buddha, with gold inlay starting from the belly.
Li Renyong doesn't know much about jade, but this piece looks as white as rice washing water.
"how much is this?"
Paula said firmly: "Ayong, this should be very expensive, we don't want it."
Li Renyong smiled and said, "I bought gifts for so many people after returning from Cannes, but not for you. This jade pendant is a gift for you."
After hearing this, Paula still wanted to persuade him to just buy something slightly more ordinary.
Unexpectedly, Li Renyong discussed the price directly with the old monk.
Afterwards, Paula also bought a green jade pendant for Li Renyong.
The two left the temple and came to the seats under the cherry tree.
Like any other couple, they only have eyes for each other.
"Ayong, help me put it on."
Paula turned around and handed the pendant to Li Renyong.
She turned around, her back facing him, and lowered her head slightly, revealing her slender neck.
The ponytail hung diagonally on her shoulders, and the ends of her hair swayed gently in the breeze.
Li Renyong's fingers untied the silk thread of the pendant and carefully wrapped it around Paula's neck.
His fingertips occasionally touched her skin, which felt delicate and warm.
"All right."
Paula turned around and pulled down the collar of her clothes a little: "How is it? Does it look good?"
The graceful lines of the clavicle appeared in Li Renyong's eyes, and against the backdrop of the jade pendant, it looked white and delicate.
"nice."
Paula smiled.
"It's just a little expensive, and I don't know if the gold is fake."
Li Renyong helped her pull up her collar and said, "We have the invoice. If it's fake, we'll go find him. Didn't you study law? We're not afraid."
Paula leaned back in her chair and said, "It's getting dark, we should go eat. I got paid this morning, so I'll treat you."
Li Renyong smiled and said, "No wonder you have money to buy a pendant."
Paula smiled and said, "We must buy what we need. We are a couple."
The stroll lasted until the evening.
Outside the park is a square and next to it is a snack street.
At six o'clock, the lights in the stalls were lit one after another, and the aroma of various foods mixed together, making people's appetites whet.
The two chose kebabs, which are food that can be eaten while walking.
When it comes to dating, you should be casual.
Paula had a few skewers of pork in her left hand and a string of sausages in her right hand.
The sauce dripped down the edges, giving off an alluring sheen.
“This sauce is really good.”
Bao La took a bite of the kebab and squinted her eyes in satisfaction: "A Yong, you eat too."
She put the skewer near Li Renyong's mouth.
Li Renyong opened his mouth, shook his head, and a piece of pork belly entered his mouth.
The aroma of the meat and the spicy taste of the sauce are delicious in your mouth.
Unfortunately, the movement was a little too rough and the sauce spilled onto the clothes.
"Eat slowly and don't rub it on your clothes, or I'll have to wash it later. There's some paper in my bag, take it out and wipe it."
Li Renyong's hands were full of skewers, so he had no time to grab the paper.
"Wipe it later. I'll wash my clothes myself."
Bao La rolled her eyes and said, "Wow, Master Li can also do laundry. Your things were either washed by Aunt Huili or by me."
The two of them chattered and shared the skewers in their hands as they walked.
