MO Ruyue didn’t know what kind of gods were worshiped in Xiangguo Temple.

She didn’t need to worry about these things. She could worship whatever she wanted.

Therefore, MO Ruyue took a few more glances at the stalls here, wanting to see what was on display near the entrance of the temple. It was indeed different from the ones on the street.

Most of them were related to temples.

“Granny Rong, you can go shopping with Chun Hua and Qiu Shi. You don’t have to follow me.”

“It’s almost time. We’ll gather on the bridge and then go home. It doesn’t matter if you guys shop a little later or play a little longer. It’s a holiday today.”

“GO.”

Song Jiaxin agreed with MO Ruyue’s words. She didn’t like having maids following her closely when she was shopping.

The two daughters of the Liu family looked at MO Ruyue’s behavior and despised her even more. She was indeed a village woman from the countryside!

With her behavior, she would be laughed at by the noble ladies in the capital. As the master, she actually didn’t have any maidservants to follow her. Then what was the use of these people?

Even if she wore a princess costume, it could not hide the smell of dirt!

At MO Ruyue’s strong request, Granny Rong and a few maidservants happily went to visit their own shop.

Gu Ying followed closely behind MO Ruyue. He would buy anything that she saw and liked.

On the other side the second young master of the Li family also followed behind Song Jiaxin, handing over silver and carrying things.

It made the two Di daughters of the Liu family seem redundant, but they still had to follow closely behind these two teams.

Although there were no stalls in Xiangguo Temple, the incense was very popular.

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Xiangguo Temple would not close its doors for twenty-four hours. There would be people coming to offer incense and kowtow during the twenty-four hours.

Because this was Xiangguo Temple, there were naturally soldiers guarding it to maintain order, so there wouldn’t be chaos.

“Let’s go, Sister. Let’s go and ask for a fortune. Originally, asking in the morning is the most accurate, but… It’s the same now.”

MO Ruyue really didn’t want to ask for a lot. What was there to ask for?

However, Song Jiaxin had already pulled her to grab two buckets of lots. She held one in her hand and stuffed the other into MO Ruyues hand.

This was the first time MO Ruyue had ever touched something like this in her two lifetimes.

Seeing Song Jiaxin so enthusiastic and everyone staring at her, MO Ruyue mimicked the person beside her and shook it a few times. A stick really fell out.

“The best draw!”

“Wow, sister, you’re so lucky.”

They strolled around Xiangguo Temple, but MO Ruyue refused to worship those statues.

In fact, when people prayed to Buddha and God, it was nothing more than being unsatisfied in their hearts or doing something wrong. They wanted to seek comfort.

To MO Ruyue, she had nothing to complain about.

If she really wanted something, she could only do it herself. It was not like a free lunch would fall from the sky if she begged for these things. Otherwise, she would do nothing but kneel and kowtow every day.

As for the old monk’s explanation, MO Ruyue was even more amused.

No matter how bad these people were, no matter how bad their offers were, they would still think of ways to say nice things.

In fact, it was just to make people happy and then think of ways to make them nav more incense money.

She also mentioned that the Red Luan Star has moved and that there was going to be a joyous event.

Not to mention other things, just looking at her and Song Jiaxin’s age, if there was really no marriage, when they were eighteen, the higher-ups would also distribute them. How could there not be happy news?

She didn’t even need to say that!

In her opinion, this was equivalent to guessing blindly.

When they were about to leave, Song Jiaxin went to ask for a few more protective talismans and even helped MO Ruyue ask for them.

MO Ruyue saw that she was so enthusiastic, so she went to beg for one for each of her family members, including Gu Ying.

MO Ruyue gave it to Gu Ying on the spot.

Gu Ying happily took it, the corners of his mouth curling up uncontrollably. The talisman was hidden deep in his chest.

MO Ruyue casually looked around Xiangguo Temple and lost her interest. She felt that she might as well go shopping.

It was more interesting to watch people guess lantern riddles and put out river lanterns.

Song Jiaxin could also tell that MO Ruyue had lost interest in the Xiangguo

Temple

Now that they had gotten their lots, it was time for them to go out. They still had to go shopping elsewhere.

Song Jiaxin was also thinking of guessing lantern riddles. She wanted Second Young Master Li to win a few lanterns for her.

As soon as they left Xiangguo Temple, a group of people suddenly rushed out from inside. Because there were so many people, it was crowded.

MO Ruyue and the others wanted to move aside, but before they could do so, they were squeezed over. Two people were separated from Gu Ying and the others, and they were immediately dispersed by the crowd.

Gu Ying immediately walked to MO Ruyue’s side to protect her, but a second wave of people came out.

When those people passed by, MO Ruyue felt that something was wrong. She felt that someone had touched her waist just now. Although the movement was very light, her waist was very thin. He didn’t touch her arm or anything else, but he had specifically touched her waist?

MO Ruyue reached out to her waist, only to find that there was only the pouch strap left!

She was afraid that she would drop it, so she tied it to her belt. In the end, only the rope was left. It was obvious that the purse had been cut off.

“You’re courting death!”

Before MO Ruyue could finish her sentence, she had already shot out and chased after the person who had touched her.

She wasn’t sure who it was, but as she chased after him. Someone in the crowd in front of her suddenly sped up.

“Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Why are you running?”

“There are so many people here. Don’t step on them.”

When the commoners saw someone running and squeezing, they were unhappy and shouted,

However, MO Ruyue ignored them.

That person had snatched her purse. There was no need to talk about the silver in it, but there was also the amulet she had bought for for Tang Tang and the others.

Although she didn’t believe it, it was a kind of peace of mind.

How could she be at ease if he stole her peace of mind?

Gu Ying also reacted the moment MO Ruyue rushed out, but he was stopped by those chattering people. MO Ruyue had already chased after that person for a long time and was already on the bridge.

Seeing this, Gu Ying did not care that these people who were blocking him were commoners. He directly walked past them. Some people wanted to pull him, but they were kicked away by him.

The little thief actually had some skill left in his movements. He ran even faster than MO Ruyue. MO Ruyue couldn’t catch up with him in a short while, so Gu Ying flew after him.

Because there were too many people on the street, the little thief deliberately made his way into the crowd.

Suddenly, a patrol team walked over. Seeing the situation, the thief’s heart skipped a beat.

Gu Ying shouted when he saw the patrolling soldier.

“Catch that thief!”

The soldiers had already seen the thief who was leading the way and knew that he was the one they were talking about, so they surrounded him.

The thief saw that he was surrounded from all three sides, so he ran back. In the end, he ran to the bridge of Xiangguo Temple.

Along the way, many stalls were knocked over, and fruits and snacks were scattered all over the ground. Those stall owners were crying and cursing.

“Little thief, let’s see where you can run! Run again!”

MO Ruyue saw that Gu Ying had gone to chase after the thief. Fortunately, she knew what she was capable of and did not waste any more time to chase after him. However, she did not expect that the thief would still have some tricks up his sleeve. Gu Ying could not catch up with him for a while. Coincidentally, he ran back by himself..
