After being read, she became an empress by eating melons
Chapter 30: Master Abbot who plays with psychology!
Among the people in the Censorate, some have already started a family and a career, while others are still single, but no matter what the situation is, everyone has their own expectations and yearnings for marriage and offspring.
So, everyone from the Censorate set out on the journey to Juanjuan Temple with great interest.
They admired the rural scenery along the way. The golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze, and the green rice fields were like a huge piece of emerald, dotting the country paths. The river water was clear and the bottom was visible. Occasionally, fish jumped out of the water, stirring up ripples.
Everyone was laughing and chatting about interesting things from all over the world, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Sometimes they talked about the details of work, and sometimes they shared interesting stories in life, as if all the troubles at this moment disappeared.
Finally, they arrived at Juanjuan Temple. The temple is located by the mountains and the water, simple and elegant, as if isolated from the world. The temple is very popular, with pilgrims coming in an endless stream and devout prayers coming one after another.
The abbot could tell at a glance that the person from the Censorate was no ordinary person, so he immediately stepped forward and received him personally.
This is because the abbot has always wanted to expand the temple. He has enough money, so he wants to make the temple bigger so that there will naturally be more incense.
At first, Lin Ze asked for a bribe of 5 taels to allow the abbot to expand. The price was too high and the abbot did not agree. So he wanted to get to know some powerful people, which might bring a turning point.
The abbot took a try-it attitude and enthusiastically led the people from the Imperial Censorate to visit the temple and introduced the history and culture of the temple. He also mentioned the idea of expanding the temple from time to time, hoping to arouse the interest of the people.
Everyone followed the abbot's steps and got lots one by one in the depths of the temple. They knelt or bowed, each praying for their wishes. The temple was filled with smoke and the sound of bells.
Murong Qing stood in the crowd, his eyes always looked deep and solemn. He and his wife had been married for many years, and they loved each other very much, but they still couldn't have a child. This became an unspeakable pain in Murong Qing's heart. He tried every possible way and looked for famous doctors, but still failed.
This time when he came to the temple, Murong Qing also wanted to pray, hoping that the gods would grant them a child. He knelt on the mat, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and prayed. When he opened his eyes, the fortune stick in his hand was already lying there quietly.
He looked down at the fortune, feeling mixed emotions. He slowly raised his head and looked at the abbot, his voice trembling: "Master, look at me, can I have my own child?"
The abbot looked at him with a complicated look in his eyes. He sighed slowly and said, "It's difficult! Your life seems to be a bit bumpy. If you want to turn things around, you may have to pray to the Buddha sincerely and burn more incense to get a glimmer of hope."
After hearing this, Murong Qing felt disappointed. He didn't expect the master to be so accurate.
At this time, a young man from the Imperial Censorate came over with his own fortune. His eyes revealed a bit of curiosity and expectation, wanting to test whether the abbot was really so amazing. He asked tentatively: "Master, can you help me see if I have a partner now?"
The abbot raised his head slightly, his eyes wandering over the young man's face. He observed him for a moment, then slowly said, "You don't have a partner yet. But as long as you accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and add more incense, you should be able to find your other half within three years."
After listening to the abbot's words, everyone felt that they were quite accurate, and both questions were answered correctly.
When Nan Rongxi saw this, he immediately knew what was going on. The master was not good at calculations, but he was good at psychology, which was just child's play.
Nan Rongxi slowly walked up to the master and said, "Master, how about you answer three questions for me? As long as you can answer two correctly, I will add some fireworks to the temple!"
The abbot asked, clasped his hands together, and turned his head slightly: "Amitabha, please ask!"
Nan Rongxi put on a worried expression and said, "Master, my father is already over 50 years old this year. I want to be a second-generation official. Do you think my father can be an official?"
Generally speaking, in a temple, people ask about something, mostly about what they need.
The abbot looked at Nan Rongxi's expression, pondered for a moment, and had already thought of the answer. He slowly said, "No, it's difficult! Your father failed the imperial examination many times, maybe you can try business."
Everyone was surprised. How come the abbot got the situations of the first two people right but was totally confused about Nan Rongxi's situation? It seemed that this master might be fooling people.
However, for Nan Rongxi, this was expected. After all, she studied psychology.
Nan Rongxi held up two fingers and said, "Master, I will tell you the answer to the second question one last time. Do you think I still have a chance to work in the court in this lifetime?"
The master carefully observed Nan Rongxi's expression and demeanor again, as if trying to find an answer. However, this time he still gave a negative answer, shook his head, and said, "Donor, you may not be destined to be an official in this life."
Murong Qing: This bastard was just fooling me!
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. The abbot didn't answer either of these two questions correctly. Now they completely suspected that the abbot was a liar.
Nan Rongxi smiled slightly, shook his head, and said: "Master, you answered the first two questions incorrectly! How about this, I will ask the third question, as long as you answer it correctly, I will still give you more incense!"
The abbot was incredulous after hearing this. How could this girl, who was so young, figure out his routine so quickly and pretend to be so good at it? It seemed that he had met his match this time. Of course, the abbot also acted as if nothing had happened.
Nan Rongxi raised three fingers and said, "Master, listen carefully. The third question is, do you think I can sell fish?"
This question really stumped the master.
The expression on his face was calm?!
A little girl asked if she could sell fish?
The way she’s dressed clearly doesn’t look like a fishmonger. What’s the trick?
It’s so confusing…
The abbot has been deceiving people for so many years, and this is the first time he has encountered something like this. He chose to surrender directly, perhaps this way he could save some face!
The master's face was already covered with beads of sweat, and he responded softly, "Donor, I am not yet at the right level to answer this question, so I cannot tell for now!"
Everyone: This Nan Rongxi is really a genius! He is good at writing poems and doing business, and now he can even fool the abbot. He is really amazing.
Nan Rongxi was not going to let the master go: [Tongzi, come out quickly, a master like this must have a lot of melons, I want to eat the abbot's big melon! ]
System: [Haha, this master has a lot of gossip! ]
