The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Gu Fanchu covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her tone was charming: "Sister Yan'er is getting more and more beautiful. Look at this soft figure, it's really hard to take your eyes off her."

Wang Yuyan was born a pretty girl, and as she grew older her facial features began to develop and she became even more beautiful.

"Okay, you're actually teasing me! Just wait and see how I deal with you."

Wang Yuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she angrily stretched out her hands towards Gu Fanchu, causing the woman to beg for mercy:

"Good sister, good sister, I was wrong... Please forgive me."

Gu Fanchu was most afraid of raising a child, so as soon as Wang Yuyan stretched out her hand, she started laughing.

"All right, you two naughty boys, hurry up and get in the carriage! Your second aunt is here."

Seeing that the two girls were getting along well, Wang was also very happy. However, since it was almost time, she asked them to get in the carriage.

The two men immediately calmed down, looked at each other, and obediently got into the carriage.

The spacious carriage was very comfortable, and in case they got bored, some cakes, books, and other things were placed in it.

The wheels turned and the carriage slowly set off.

It was almost noon when they arrived at the temple.

This is the largest temple outside the capital, called Putuo Temple, located on a hillside in the north of the city.

It is said that the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas here are very powerful, so the incense is very strong. The bluestone steps leading up the mountain have been trampled by people and are as smooth as a mirror, without even a trace of moss.

The most effective one is the "bond tree". The so-called bond tree is actually a tree for seeking marriage.

Young unmarried girls would exchange copper coins for some red ropes from the monks in the temple, tie the red ropes to their purses and throw them onto the trees.

If the red string with the purse is hung on the tree and is not thrown down, it means that Yue Lao has heard the woman's prayer and will bring her a good marriage.

Therefore, the tree outside the temple hall is hung with red ropes and purses, which is a spectacular sight.

Gu Fanchu got off the carriage with everyone, and what came into view were several towering trees.

When you walk in, the first thing you see is the majestic hall. Inside the hall stands a huge golden statue of the Welcoming Buddha, which is tilted downward at a slight angle, looking down at all living beings with a kind smile.

I guess it’s because the weather is fine today, so there are many pilgrims in the temple, coming and going in an endless stream.

As soon as they entered, a young monk came over and said, "Amitabha, old lady, ladies and young ladies, your rooms are ready. Please follow me."

The General's Mansion donates a lot of money to Putuo Temple every year and is very generous, so every time the abbot comes to the temple, he will specially arrange a separate room for them.

The old lady looked solemn. She naturally couldn't be presumptuous in front of the Buddha. She said in a kind tone, "Thank you for your help, young master."

Wang supported the old lady, and everyone followed the young monk to the backyard of the main hall.

This place is extremely spacious and is a resting place prepared by the temple for distinguished guests from the capital. It is fully equipped with everything you need.

After entering the wing room and taking a short rest, the old lady took Wang and Li to the front yard to find the abbot, and specifically told the two little girls not to run around.

The maids and old women were packing their masters' things in the yard. Wang Yuyan, who was bored in the side room, got up and went to find Gu Fanchu.

The temple is solemn and dignified, making people feel that their souls are cleansed and all past mistakes are washed away.

As a reborn person, Gu Fanchu has always had a reverent heart towards gods and Buddhas. She was also preparing to go for a walk, and just when she came out she met Wang Yuyan who was looking for her.

She approached me mysteriously, her eyes shining: "Sister Chu'er, there is a very magical tree in this temple. Let's go and see it together!"

As an unmarried woman, she is naturally full of longing for her future marriage and hopes to meet an ideal husband.

Gu Fanchu doesn't care about marriage. The lessons from her previous life made her deeply realize that love is unreliable. If possible, she doesn't want to get married in this life!

However, seeing the woman's curious expression, she didn't say no. Instead, she said in a light-hearted tone, "Sister Yan'er, are you looking for a marriage partner? Which boy have you set your eyes on? Let me take a look!"

Wang Yuyan blushed instantly, pinched the hateful girl's fair and tender face in anger, and said with gritted teeth:

"Look at your little mouth, it's getting even more hateful now! I miss the quiet little girl when I first came back!"

Gu Fanchu's cheeks turned slightly red from being pinched.

She was not angry, and begged for mercy: "Let's go, let's go, Chu'er Pei will accompany me for a walk."

Wang Yuyan finally put her hand down and looked at the girl's red face. She felt distressed again: "Let's see if you dare to tease me again. Look at your face, I pinched it red."

The two walked out hand in hand. Gu Fanchu smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm thick-skinned. I'll be fine in a while."

After walking for a while, passing through the winding corridors of the temple, I finally arrived at the front yard and saw the "bond tree".

But they were not the only ones seeking marriage. There was also a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, and two little monks standing beside her.

Wang Yuyan's expression froze, and she pulled Gu Fanchu and stood still, refusing to move forward.

Gu Fanchu looked at Wang Yuyan with some confusion. Seeing that she looked strange, he did not ask any questions, but just looked at the woman under the tree from a distance.

The woman in the emerald green shirt paused respectfully under the tree for a long time, muttering something, and then the maid beside her came forward and handed her a red string tied with a purse, and with a force, the red string was thrown onto the tree.

Unfortunately, the red line did not hang on the tree. Instead, it went around the branches and fell down, landing right on the woman's face.

……

Seeing this situation, the woman in green instantly became furious. The distorted expression on her face was very obvious. She immediately shouted without thinking:

"Even this damn tree is against me, right? Come on, cut down this tree for me! Come on!"

Seeing that the woman was angry, none of the maids and guards around her dared to step forward to dissuade her, and they all knelt on the ground in fear.

Seeing that no one listened to her, the woman walked straight up to the guard, pulled the knife out of the man, and was about to go forward to chop down the tree.

Seeing this, two young monks standing by hurried forward to dissuade them.

But the woman was very irritable and slapped one of the young monks: "Get lost! Don't you know who I am? How dare you stop me?"

The little monk shrank back and stepped aside. Now, no one dared to step forward to stop him.

Seeing that the woman was about to chop the "bond tree" with her knife, the people around her closed their eyes in pain, sighing in their hearts that the tree might be in great danger. At this time, a maid in green clothes walked out from the other side, although her steps were hurried, but she did not show any panic.

"Your Highness, the princess said that if you don't want to leave the palace in the future, then you should cut down the tree. Lord Shi is talking to the princess right now."

When the woman heard this, she immediately stopped what she was doing, her eyes full of unwillingness, but in the end she did not chop the tree with the knife in her hand. With a "pa" sound, she threw it to the ground.
