Jiang Nianyan turned to look at her, "I heard it's good here, so I came here."
Yu Nian felt that his question was like a fist hitting cotton. He couldn't get to the point and had to listen to his nonsense. Her eyes fell into his, and he smiled, "Don't believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Yu Nian said as he walked to the place where the incense was invited. "You shortened your trip in Nanzhou and went to Chang'an just because you heard that this place is good?"
Jiang Nianyan said with a smile, "You can't push yourself too hard. It's necessary to relax appropriately. I've heard of this place for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to come and see it before."
"What are you looking at?" Yu Nian took two handfuls of incense and handed one to him.
Jiang Nianyan was startled, not sure whether it was because of her sudden question or her casual action. Seeing that he was silent, Yu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly. Why was he looking like this?
"Look at the buildings, and look at the trees." His eyes inadvertently glanced at the courtyard wall, which had an introduction to the vegetation in the temple. He raised his chin slightly and gestured, "Look at the ginkgo biloba."
Yu Nian snorted and asked him seriously, "So Mr. Yan likes to see ginkgo trees."
Jiang Nianyan raised his lips slightly and said nothing. In the eyes of outsiders, he did not deny it. Seeing this, Yu Nian asked curiously, "Where is the best place to see ginkgo trees in Bei City? I will go and see them when I return to Bei City."
However, Jiang Nianyan was stunned by the question and couldn't answer for a while. Finally he cleared his throat and said, "If you want to see it, I'll ask Lao Liu to find out."
Yu Nian was speechless, "Can I still use Lao Liu to do this kind of thing?"
Typically, a butcher's knife is used to kill a chicken.
She handed the incense to him, and he looked down and then at Yu Nian. Yu Nian kindly reminded him, "When you enter the temple, don't you go to the Buddha to offer incense?"
Jiang Nianyan took the incense hesitantly.
He rarely came to the temple, and the only time he stayed in the temple the longest was not to worship Buddha. It rained heavily that night, and the entire Buddha Hall was filled with the smell of blood. Warm blood splashed all over the Buddha's face.
He wiped off the blood on the Buddha statue little by little and said to the Buddha, "You talk about cause and effect in the world, but if everyone in the world believed in cause and effect, the blood in front of the Buddha would not appear."
Jiang Nianyan never believed in cause and effect, just like he never believed that everything would go well just by wrapping the three sticks of incense in his hand around the Buddha statue. The most difficult thing in the world to calm down is the human heart, and the most variable thing is the human heart. If you want to influence people's hearts, you always have to do it step by step.
After Yu Nian gave the incense to Jiang Nianyan, she didn't ask him why he came to Gutan Temple. She turned around and walked towards the main hall. Jiang Nianyan followed slowly.
Compared with the devout pilgrims in the temple, Jiang Nianyan is extremely conspicuous among them. Yu Nian stood in front of the main hall and glanced back at him inadvertently. He stood at the incense burner outside the hall with his hands behind his back. He was surrounded by three pilgrims who were offering incense and worshiping the gods. He was the only one who looked proudly like an outsider.
But even though he is so out of place, he still has a sense of harmony with this mortal world. He has a calm and ascetic feeling like a Buddha and a look that is unparalleled by others, but his eyes are extremely cold and indifferent, as if nothing in the world of mortals has ever entered his eyes.
A person like him probably doesn't believe in Buddhism.
Yu Nian put aside his miscellaneous thoughts and entered the hall.
After a while, Jiang Nianyan also walked in, and immediately saw Yu Nian kneeling in front of the Buddha. She knelt on the futon with her hands clasped, her long hair loose and hanging, no makeup on her face, and her plain white clothes complemented her surroundings.
There were not many pilgrims today. The people kneeling around Yu Nian came and went. She was the only one who knelt in front of the Buddha for a long time. Jiang Nianyan looked at her condescendingly, unable to figure out what she was specifically asking for.
May the Yu family go well, may Yu Juanzhou be safe, may the friends around her be healthy and happy... Or may she be praying for her to leave him smoothly?
She could ask for everything for the Yu family, for Yu Juanzhou, and for her friends, but not him.
When Yu Nian got up, he saw Jiang Nianyan still standing there, so he asked him, "Aren't you going to pay your respects?"
Jiang Nianyan said, "I don't have the habit of worshiping Buddha."
"When you enter a Buddhist temple, you always have to bow before the Buddha. You should seek peace of mind for yourself." Yu Nian said softly.
Jiang Nianyan smiled, but didn't say much, just stood in front of the Buddha statue and bowed with his hands clasped together. When he walked out of the temple, Yu Nian said, "Since you don't believe in Buddhism, why don't you come to the Buddhist temple?"
I didn't see him rushing to see any scenery, but everyone who came here to check in the scenery would take pictures with his mobile phone and camera. Fortunately for him, he had never taken out his mobile phone since he entered the mountain gate.
"Do you believe in Buddhism?" Jiang Nianyan asked.
Although the Yu family in Jiangnan are not Buddhists, they have always been regarded as good people by the outside world. Yu Yiyuan likes charity, and the reputation of the Yu family has been built up little by little. When he was at Yu's house, he didn't see Yu Nian entering or leaving the Buddhist temple. He thought it was because she was too young at the time.
Yu Nian said, "I believe in cause and effect in this world, and I also believe in awe."
Jiang Nianyan was silent after hearing this.
She turned to look at him, "What about you? Are you in awe?"
Jiang Nianyan looked at the incense curling up in front of the temple, "I have never been able to get to this point without the blessing of Buddha. Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I am sure that only when people have awe can they act with clarity and prudence, otherwise If you lose your mind, you will lose everything."
"You don't believe in cause and effect?"
Jiang Nianyan paused to look at her, facing the sunshine, but his eyes didn't take in any light, "I only believe in myself."
The thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in Gutan Temple have indeed turned yellow. When you see them from a distance, their golden color catches your eyes. When you get up close, you will sigh with admiration. Many young girls ran up to take pictures in various poses.
Yu Nian didn't step forward to take pictures, so he chose a position and watched quietly.
Watching the wind come and the leaves falling, watching the wind go away the golden silence. Jiang Nianyan asked her what she was thinking about, and she said, "This ancient tree is more than a thousand years old. It has become a spirit. How many dynasties and people have passed in front of it. The world has gone through vicissitudes, but it remains unmoved." .”
I heard the girl next to me scolding my boyfriend, "Do you know how to take pictures? What angle is this? It makes me look so short!"
The young couple looked young, and the boy spoke upright, "Well, your legs are already short. How can I make you have two-meter-long legs?"
The woman was displeased, "Angle! Find the angle! If you find the angle well, you can take pictures of long legs! Turn your phone over and take two more pictures for me."
The boy was helpless, "You've been shooting around the tree for almost half an hour. Are you tired? You're almost done."
"Can I ask for a nine-square grid when I post on Moments?"
…
Yu Nian couldn't help but wanted to laugh but held it back. The girl's psychology was easy to understand, and her boyfriend was also a straight man. She turned her face away, fearing that she would make others unhappy if she laughed again.
Jiang Nianyan stood appropriately in front of her, his broad body blocking the direction of the couple. Even if she really wanted to laugh, she would not let others look away. He said, "Laugh now if you want."
Yu Nian waved his hands repeatedly, trying not to laugh, "It's not polite."
"Then you're still laughing?"
"I think the Jiugongge in the same scene is like looking for differences." Yu Nian said softly.
Jiang Nianyan looked at her smiling eyebrows, which were reflected brightly by the sun, like pear blossoms on the branches, and his heart felt soft. He asked, "Don't you like this ginkgo? Do you want to take pictures?"
Yu Nian was about to say that there was no need to take photos because there were so many people, but he immediately realized, "How do you know I like this ginkgo?"
The premonition in my heart became stronger.
Jiang Nianyan was stunned for a moment by her question. After reacting, he cleared his throat and said, "Didn't you just say that you like to see ginkgo trees? You want to see them again when you return to Bei City."
Yu Nian pursed his lips slightly, but he was really good at showing off.
The previous wave of pilgrims had already taken photos and left, including the couple. It was obvious that the boy really didn't know how to take photos. Anyway, before leaving, the girl was flipping through the photos on her phone and kept saying, I still need to take photos... ...the arm P is thinner...
It’s quite hard to post on Moments.
Jiang Nianyan raised his chin slightly and said, "Go ahead, I'll take the photo for you."
"You?" Yu Nian was surprised.
"You're already here, it's time to take a souvenir." Jiang Nianyan said softly, "While there is no one around now."
Yu Nian really wanted to, but the photos in her imagination should be the kind of super literary blockbusters, not casual photos of daily life taken with her mobile phone. And since the other party was Jiang Nianyan, she couldn't ask for such high demands. It would be great if Qiao Min was here. Not to mention that as a fashion editor, she has a very tricky shooting angle. Just from the relationship point of view, she was too embarrassed to yell at her. ?
She hesitated for a moment, but decided to take the photo.
Just take it as a souvenir.
Jiang Nianyan took the photo directly with his mobile phone.
Just let her walk or stop under the ginkgo tree casually. In short, it took less than two minutes.
Done.
Well... Yu Nianxin said, fortunately, I didn't have too high expectations.
In her impression, Ayan was no different from the straight man who left before. It was not that he had never taken photos for her before, oh, but it was not her that time. She fell in love with a piece of clothing. She was in a hurry and was afraid of forgetting which piece it was, so she asked Ayan to help take a picture.
Ayan really just took a photo casually, and the photo was so sloppy that the clothes were all tilted. For this reason, she said to Ayan very seriously, "Although you are just a bodyguard, you should also practice taking photos when necessary. Today I just asked you to help take pictures of clothes, but what if I want you to take pictures of me tomorrow?"
Jiang Nianyan sent the photo to her mobile phone.
The mobile phone was in the bag, and Yu Nian didn't look at it, thinking that it was just like that. Whether you look at it or not, just take it as a photo of your trip here.
The thousand-year-old ancient pond is always there to answer your requests.
Yu Nian went to the temple to get a blessing sign and hung it on the wishing tree. He clasped his hands together and made a sincere wish. Jiang Nianyan stood next to her, with a few rays of light tilting down above her head, falling through the gaps in the leaves and falling on her hair and cheeks. Her hair was like a waterfall, shining with light, and her cheeks were very white and delicate even though there was no trace of pink.
Her skin has good foundation and is very clean even without makeup.
After making the wish, Yu Nian took the blessing dice and put her feet up to hang them as high as possible. She tried several times to reach the high branches but failed to reach them. Jiang Nianyan, who was standing behind her, smiled lowly when she saw this behind the scenes and passed the blessing in her hand. The sign was about to be hung up, but she stopped him. "No, no, the blessing sign must be hung by hand."
Jiang Nianyan held a blessing sign in one hand and looked down at her, "Don't you want to hang high?"
"Yes...but I'll try my best to keep it high." Yu Nian only hated himself for not wearing any clothes and hated the sky.
Jiang Nianyan handed her the blessing sign and said, "Take it."
She took it.
The next second Jiang Nianyan picked her up easily. But Yu Nian was startled, and he exclaimed, subconsciously hugging his head, causing the people around him to look this way.
Jiang Nianyan smiled sullenly, "Don't be afraid. I'll hang on to you, but I won't be able to throw you off."
The man's arms were strong and strong, and Yu Nian believed that he would not be able to fall. Even if he was suddenly picked up by him, he could not react for a while. She let go of her hand and straightened her upper body. Well, now she was hanging high, and the row below was bright red.
Can't look down.
Jiang Nianyan's height is such an advantage, it's like she's walking on stilts.
After hanging up neatly, she patted his head and motioned for him to put her down. Jiang Nianyan loosened his arms slightly, and she subconsciously held his shoulders, but before she could fully come down, Jiang Nianyan tightened her arms.
She didn't expect it, gasped, and quickly hugged his neck. His arms wrapped around her smoothly, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, completely held in his arms.
"Put me down quickly." Yu Nian blushed when she saw everyone around her looking at her.
Jiang Nianyan asked, "Who are you praying for?"
Yu Nianying's lips parted slightly, "Family, friends..."
Jiang Nianyan stared at her face with half a smile, "What else did you wish for?"
"No more." Yu Nian felt that this gesture was too ambiguous, so he supported his shoulders with both hands and tried to keep his body as straight as possible, "Quickly let go."
Jiang Nianyan saw her cheeks were red and her thin lips were twitching, but he didn't tease her anymore. He let go of his arms and she got down smoothly. But he didn't let go of his arm. He grabbed her waist and moved forward, and she fell into his arms again.
He pressed his face to her ear and said, "If you want to leave me, then save your energy."
Yu Nian pushed him away and closed his eyes to cover up the panic in his heart, "What nonsense are you talking about."
But he actually guessed it right.
In addition to praying to God to protect her family and friends, she also asked the gods to open her eyes so that she could leave the Jiangnian Banquet smoothly.
She didn't know what to do to get free, would she have to wait a year? But what makes her feel unsure now is that Jiang Nianyan no longer says "one year". He forbids her to leave, forces her to stay with him, and even forces her to promise during love that she is his. All my life is his...
Yu Nian was scared.
What she was afraid of was that in the end, after one year, he would go back on his word.
Jiang Nianyan had a clear view of her uneasy thoughts, but he didn't expose them. He raised his hand and rubbed her head, smiled and said nothing.
Several tourist aunts passed by, and one of them, She Niu, said with a smile, "This little couple looks so sweet."
"The young man is handsome and the young girl is beautiful. They are a perfect match." Another aunt catered to her.
Yu Nian felt extremely embarrassed after hearing this.
Jiang Nianyan, on the other hand, calmly smiled and said, "Thank you."
Yu Nian quickly dragged him away.
Jiang Nianyan let her pull him, walked forward lazily, and said with a smile, "Are you shy?"
"do not talk."
After traveling thousands of miles to visit a thousand-year-old Buddhist temple, one must do some merit. Although Jiang Nianyan did not have the habit of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, he was very clear about donating money to build the temple. In other words, it was quite enjoyable to spend money.
After donating a sum of money, the master in the temple gave them two bracelets, men's and women's models, with agarwood beads inside. When gently turned, a soothing aroma will come out. The bracelet comes from our temple. This style is not available outside. Moreover, the beads were selected and blessed by the father, the master of the temple.
