[Thirty-six] The Monk Lover of Jade Lock

"Didn't I say that she has a Buddhist bond with her?" Xun Ye still didn't understand when he saw Yu Suo, so he continued: "Among the people you knew during your lifetime, were there any eminent monks or the like?"

Yusuo shook his head in confusion, "No, my family was poor when I was a child, and I didn't even have money to burn incense. When I was ten years old, I went to the Xia Mansion to follow the lady. I rarely offered incense and worshiped Buddha. As for any eminent monks, I didn't even meet him.

Seen it before.”

"That's weird." Xunye frowned and thought hard, "Tell me your birth date and I will calculate it for you."

Yusuo obediently said his horoscope.

Hong Gu said from the side: "There were no eminent monks during the Qianlong period. If there were any, there was a slightly famous monk named Yuanzhi in Ningbo, Zhejiang."

Hong Gu is nagging here, while Xun Ye is already making calculations on the other side.

"Tsk, tsk, if you want your aunt to take action, you can just pinch your fingers and do the math. It's so troublesome." Honggu said with a curl of her lips as she watched Xun Ye write densely on the paper.

Yusuo stretched out his hand and pulled Honggu's sleeve and said: "Sister Honggu, the Heavenly Master is busy, so please don't disturb her..."

"You girl, are you afraid that she will miscalculate your horoscopes, right?!" Hong Gu glared with her hands on her hips.

Yusuo's cheeks turned red in shame.

Hong Gu was just about to tease her a little bit when the results from Xun Ye's place came out.

"The blue clouds should have their way, the red and phoenix feathers are light, the two are bound to each other, and the marriage has no time limit." Xun Ye slowly told the result, and then asked Yu Suo: "Have you made an engagement?"

"Yes." Yusuo nodded, "When I was young, my parents assigned me to a young boy from the same village."

"Since you are engaged, why did you go to Xia Mansion?" Hong Gu asked.

"That year, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the village lost its harvest. He...his parents also passed away that year, and he disappeared later." Yusuo felt a sigh of relief in his heart when he talked about the old man.

Xunye: "What's his name?"

"His surname is Yuan." Yusuo stretched out his hand to draw strokes, "His name is Xiaozhi, which means intelligence."

"Yuan Xiaozhi?! Isn't that Yuan Zhi?" Honggu was very surprised, "Your old lover is Monk Yuan Zhi?"

Yusuo's face turned red, "No... not a lover..."

Xunye glared at Honggu, and then asked Yusuo: "Do you and that Yuan Xiaozhi have a marriage certificate?"

"Yes, our two families exchanged horoscopes." Yusuo replied in a low voice.

Xun Ye asked Honggu again, "What is the common name of the monk Yuanzhi you mentioned?"

"I don't know." Honggu spread her hands, "When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he went to the Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, Zhejiang. It was Monk Yuanzhi who received him. It is said that he is quite adaptable."

"My hometown is Ningbo, Zhejiang." Yu Suo replied anxiously.

"Well, I have to make a trip for this matter." Xun Ye lay on the table and looked at the calendar.

Hong Gu was dumbfounded, "You still want to go out? Can't you figure it out?"

"The result of my calculation is that the person she is betrothed to will become a monk, and she has the Buddhist connection left behind by the monk when he attained enlightenment and passed away." Xunye tapped his fingers on the calendar, "This can't be a coincidence.

But regardless of whether Monk Yuanzhi is Yuan Xiaozhi, I have to go out."

Hong Gu frowned, "But the infectious diseases outside now..."

"Don't worry, my aunt said I will live a long life." A trace of sadness flashed in Xunye's eyes, "We will set off in a week."

"Uh, how long will it take?" Hong Gu pouted. She was the gatekeeper of this house and couldn't go there, so when she heard that Xun Ye was going on a long trip, she felt envious and jealous.

"Do you think my feet can be used now?" Xunye stared.
