Quick Wear: The little girl is spoiled by the love-brained boss

Chapter 20 The Ascetic Buddhist's Fake Gold (20)

**

After breakfast, Xie Qingci took Yu Qing for a stroll in the villa.

The hot spring villa is built on the mountain. The part at the foot of the mountain is open to the public, and the private areas are all in the quiet depths at the back.

The two walked slowly towards the back of the hot spring.

There were some human voices at the beginning, but then they gradually disappeared.

In the silent valley, sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, and occasional cicadas and birds chirp can be heard.

Yu Qing suddenly saw the blue-gray eaves exposed in the lush forest ahead. The golden glazed tiles sparkled in the sunlight, and the deep red wall was faintly visible below, sacred and mysterious.

"Where is what?"

Yu Qing raised her slender white jade finger, pointed into the distance, and asked curiously.

Xie Qingci didn't even raise his eyes to look at the place she was pointing at. His deep eyes stared at the little girl beside him without blinking.

He opened his thin lips and said, "It's the ancestral temple of the Xie family."

It is normal for the Xie family, a centuries-old family, to have its own ancestral hall and temple.

Yu Qing satisfied his curiosity and was not prepared to pry into other people's privacy.

Xiao Naitang helped her check and found out that the ancestral temple was a private place of the family and only people with a certain status in the family could enter.

She wasn't even from the Xie family, so naturally she couldn't be allowed in.

Xie Qingci felt helpless as he looked at the little girl who was obediently preparing to go wander around somewhere else after asking the question.

If it were someone else, I don't know how much effort they would have to put in to ask him to take them in to find out what was going on.

That is the ancestral temple of the Xie family. One can imagine the status and position of anyone who can be brought into the temple personally by the head of the family.

This little darling is so nice. He didn’t ask any questions and when he heard that it was the ancestral temple, he planned to take him somewhere else to play.

He took the person's hand with some force, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Baby, come in with me, okay?"

Yu Qing was a little surprised, raised her little head from his arms and looked at him: "Can I come in? This is not--"

"I won't bring anyone else here except my baby."

Xie Qingci's tone was extremely gentle, but his eyes were serious and firm, as if he was making a moving oath.

It is indeed a vow.

He had selfish motives in bringing her here.

The moment you step into the ancestral temple, the ancient and quiet atmosphere is even better than the manor just now.

The air in the ancestral temple was filled with the scent of pine and sandalwood.

It makes people feel calm in an instant.

The Xie family has been worshipping Buddha for generations, so the main hall of the ancestral temple is dedicated to the Buddha, and behind it is the real ancestral hall of the Xie family.

There are several monks who are stationed in the temple to practice Buddhism, and there is also a Master Miaojue as the abbot.

The young master who was cleaning the courtyard saw Xie Qingci coming in with his men.

He stepped forward and bowed: "Thank you, benefactor. The master is in meditation with several fellow practitioners in the Zen room. It's an unfortunate time for you to come today."

Xie Qingci clasped his hands together in return and said in a deep voice: "It's okay. We have nothing to do today. We can just walk around by ourselves. Little Master, go and get busy."

Even the monks who had practiced for many years couldn't help but look at the girl next to Xie Qingci with some surprise.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the close relationship between the two, not to mention that Xie Qingci had even brought people into the family ancestral temple.

She is the only one who can be the mistress of the Xie family.

Xie Qingci led the little girl to the main hall, took out three incense sticks, lit them and handed them to her.

I also lit three incense sticks.

The two of them knelt down on the mat and worshiped devoutly.

Yu Qing had never worshipped gods or Buddhas before, he just imitated Xie Qingci's serious look and clasped his hands together with his eyes closed.

[Little Candy, do you want to say something when you pray to Buddha? ]

[No need, Host A-li, just make a wish silently in your heart! ]

[Then do you know what wish Xie Qingci made? ]

After Xiao Naitang upgraded the system last time, she gained the ability to read people's minds and let Yu Qing hear them.

Then, she heard Xie Qingci's pious and solemn voice:

"I, a lay disciple of Xie, am grateful for the Buddha's mercy, which has blessed the Xie family for more than a hundred years. For many years, I have devoted myself to Buddhism, always had a compassionate heart, and did many good deeds. I originally wanted to practice seclusion for the rest of my life and not be contaminated by the secular world."

"However, I am still a mortal after all. I can cultivate the Bodhi mind, but I cannot escape the desires of the world."

"Today I have come here with my beloved Yu, to pray for forgiveness. May the Buddha forgive me and my future wife and bless them with a happy and smooth life. From now on, I will never forget the oath I made today."

Yu Qing felt a surge of heat in her heart and tears were almost spilling from her tightly closed eyes.

After Xie Qingci kowtowed, he stood up and turned to help her.

Seeing the little girl's eyes flushed, he was stunned for a moment, and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He knew that some people would feel uncomfortable after entering the temple.

He was worried that the little girl was in the same situation, and couldn't help feeling annoyed as to why he hadn't noticed her situation.

He even brought her to kneel for such a long time in this incense-filled Buddhist temple...

Yu Qing watched the man's expression change from worry to regret and found it somewhat amusing. How could this man imagine so many things?

She raised her hand and held the man's slightly cold fingers, shook them, and smiled softly: "What are you thinking about? Nothing happened to me."

Xie Qingci still had some doubts: "Are you really okay, baby?"

"It's fine."

The little girl smiled gently, and the sunlight coming in through the wooden window was reflected on her fair face.

I really want to kiss her.

This is not the right place.

Xie Qingci twisted the Buddhist beads in his empty hand vigorously, and his fingertips turned slightly white from the exertion.

The two walked through the corridor and came to the Xie clan ancestral hall at the back.

The main hall here enshrines the successive heads and wives of the Xie family. The Xie family is different from the feudal families of the past in that women are not included in the family tree.

The ancestral hall enshrines tablets of the head of the family and his wife side by side, and the family tree records the names of every girl in the family.

Yu Qing was somewhat moved after listening to Xie Qingci's story. She knew the cultural customs here. Women had a low status in the past, but the Xie family treated every woman equally from beginning to end.

It can be seen that the Xie family has been able to remain prosperous for a hundred years, and it has its own merits and blessings.

Xie Qingci pulled the dazed little girl and knelt together in front of the tablets of their ancestors.

He said in a deep voice: "Ancestors, I am the descendant of the Xie family, Qingci, the 32nd head of the Xie family. I come here to pay a visit today. Please be my witness."

He did not say what he was witnessing.

The man stood up and pulled up the little girl beside him, then held her little hand and knelt on one knee.

Yu Qing suddenly realized what he was about to do, and his heart began to beat like a drum.

He actually brought her to the Xie family’s ancestral hall…?

"Qingqing, as you can see, I am a bit dull and boring, and I am eight years older than you. But forgive my greed. I was moved the first time I saw you in the hospital that day."

"I have been with you day and night for these days, and I have fallen hopelessly for you. In the past, they always called me a 'Buddha's son', but they didn't know that even a Buddha's son who has only just started practicing has already had his own beliefs that he is willing to submit to."

"Today, in front of the ancestors of the Xie family, Xie Qingci, the descendant of the Xie family, offers the Xie family as a betrothal gift and asks Miss Yu Qing to show her love and marry me. Is that okay?"

He actually proposed to her with the entire Xie family as a betrothal gift! ?
