Marry a Duke

When they arrived at Hua'en Temple, Wei Xuan asked Gao Mian to send her and Wuyou to the meditation room to rest first, and he would take care of the fulfillment of the vow.

There are many devout believers in Hua'en Temple, and people from all walks of life come and go. It is unlike Huguo Temple, where only wealthy families and noble status go there.

Wuyou had just come out of confinement not long ago, and Furan had just escaped death not long ago.

They were not supposed to go to crowded places.

but--

At the beginning, Madam Wei helped them make a wish. If they didn't come in person to fulfill the wish, it would be disrespectful to the gods and Buddha.

Old Madam Wei is a devout Buddhist.

Old Madam Wei took Lan Yin and her daughter with her. Wei Nian was a little older and could fulfill his vows in front of the Buddha.

The wet nurse and Qiao'er stayed in the Zen room to accompany Fu Ran and her daughter.

"I don't have to go out to fulfill my vow?" Fu Ran was still unsure.

"The old lady meant that Madam could go out and fulfill her wish, but the Duke refused. He said that Madam had gone through a life-and-death ordeal and was still weak. He was Madam's husband and could do it for her." Qiao'er replied truthfully.

When she heard these words at first, she was simply shocked.

The master is thinking about the lady in every way.

Fu Ran was also shocked. She suspected that Wei Xuan had other intentions.

However, they had already made plans, so she didn't have to insist on going out.

When they arrived, it was already past lunch, but because they had set a time with Hua'en Temple in advance, the temple also prepared vegetarian meals for them.

Fu Ran and others were sent directly to the meditation room. After Fu Ran had his meal, not long after, Old Madam Wei came with Lan Yin and her daughter.

Wei Nian is still young, so it’s okay for him to just fulfill his wish.

Old Madam Wei asked Wei Nian and Lan Yin to stay in the meditation room and wait as well.

She and Wei Xuan went to see the abbot.

Fu Ran saw that there were many people in the house, with Qiao'er protecting her inside and Qian Wu and Gao Mian protecting her outside. She wanted to make a wish.

May she be reborn and free.

She asked Qian Wu to accompany her and asked Gao Mian to stay outside to guard.

She was not naive enough to think that she was safe in Hua'en Temple. She had not been safe in Huguo Temple before, let alone Hua'en Temple where more people came and went.

Fu Ran made two wishes in front of the Buddha. If one day her wishes could come true, she would definitely make a new golden statue for the Buddha. She kept her word.

She was not like others who kept their wishes in their mouths and silently repeated them.

Fu Ran made the wish in a normal voice, and also mentioned the matter of fulfilling the wish with a golden body. Qian Wu, who was standing by, was so excited that his ears moved.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saves the suffering. Female believers do not pray for children, but pray for their daughters to be safe and grow up healthily."

She asked Yue Lao for another wish.

"Matchmaker, matchmaker, I have not been favored in this life. Please give me someone who loves and cares for me, and I will treat him the same way."

At the end, she still promised that if Yue Lao really blessed her, she would come to rebuild his golden body.

She even asked Qian Wu how much gold was needed to sculpt golden statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva and Yue Lao.

Qian Wu assessed it calmly.

"If we calculate the price of a cheap one, it would be at least 100 taels. If it's better, it would be at least 1,000 taels." Qian Wu looked at his wife, "It's gold."

Fu Ran certainly knew how much one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of gold were.

She couldn't take any out for the time being.

However, this does not prevent her from taking it out later.

If Buddha blesses her, she will take out all her savings.

Qian Wu had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to express it to his wife. He felt that it was not a good idea for his wife to make such a wish.

"Madam, you'd better not let the master know about the wish you made in front of Yue Lao." Qian Wu hesitated for a while, and decided to remind his wife.

Fu Ran asked him calmly, "Why can't the Duke know?" She asked humbly.

Qian Wu felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

"Madam, you are already the wife of the Duke. In this life, only the Duke will be by your side. How can you wish to find another man to love and cherish you?" This is not a direct wish to the matchmaker. If the matchmaker fulfills her wish, it means she will be cuckolding the Duke, which is really inappropriate.

"It's just a wish. I'm just following my heart. Not every wish that comes out can come true." Fu Ran is also very open-minded. If it can come true, that would be the best. If not, she won't blame the world.

Qian Wu was speechless again.

How can you question the effectiveness of Buddha right here in the temple?

He was also doubtful when drinking, but he was not like his wife, who made a wish while questioning.

Qian Wu was sent by Wei Xuan. If there is any movement on the lady's side, he will definitely inform his master.

When Fu Ran was returning to his meditation room, someone called him back.

Fu Ran turned around and was quite surprised to see the person coming.

"Princess Mingyue." She looked behind Mingyue. The one who came with her was not Princess Shou. Fu Ran had never seen Princess Mingyue since she had met her once at Princess Shou's birthday banquet.

"Fu Ran, are you the only one here? Where is Brother Xuan? Is he here?" Mingyue came here in the morning. After paying her respects, she took a walk in the back mountain and came here just now.

"Here I am." Fu Ran said with a smile, "If Princess Mingyue wants to find him, I will take her there."

"Okay." Mingyue was about to go with Fu Ran, but after taking two steps, she remembered that she was not alone today. Her cousin was also accompanying her.

"Cousin, come with me."

Mingyue’s cousin is from Mingyue’s maternal grandparents’ family, and they are usually very close.

"Fu Ran, this is my cousin, Yuan Xin, she is a famous talented woman. My mother always asked me to learn from my cousin, so I invited my cousin to come over to play with me."

Mingyue regards worshiping Buddha as a game, which shows that she is still a child at heart.

Yuan Xin is seventeen years old this year. His father is a fifth-rank official in the Hanlin Academy, but the Yuan family has a good reputation.

In addition to the relationship with the Prince Shou's Mansion in previous years, the Yuan family also has a lot of influence in the court.

Yuan Xin is seventeen years old and still unengaged, which is quite old.

It’s just that Yuan Xin has a reputation as a talented woman, and she is also proud and arrogant. She doesn’t take ordinary people seriously at all and thinks that no one is worthy of her.

I heard Mingyue mention that she was going to look for Wei Xuan——

Yuan Xin lowered her head, hiding the faint joy in her eyes.

In the entire Dayue, the only man she felt was worthy of her was Wei Xuan. He was both civil and military, and had made achievements in both fields.

"Mingyue is still young and has a slow and slow mind. Madam Weiguo, please don't take her shortcomings to heart." Yuan Xin said in the name of her sister.

Of course Fu Ran wouldn't take it to heart.

"Miss Yuan, you worry too much. Princess Mingyue is so innocent and cute."

Yuan Xin smiled and said nothing more.

Fu Ran glanced at Yuan Xin twice. This Miss Yuan didn't look like a good-looking girl, but she had a look of talent between her eyebrows and eyes. She had an elegant temperament, which made people feel very comfortable when looking at her.

In addition, Yuan Xin had a reputation as a talented woman, which made her quite envious. She had already become famous in the capital of the Dayue Dynasty through her own efforts.

"Please follow me, both of you," she said politely, leading the way.

The moment she turned around, she saw a faint smile of joy on Yuan Xin's lips.
