It wasn't just Mrs. Gu who came from the Gu family. As soon as she got off the carriage, Qi Xiu heard Gu Ya's extremely excited shout.

"Brother Ash!"

Her voice was clear and bright, and it startled Madam Qi. Madam Gu, who was following behind her, saw that she wanted to jump up, so she reached out and pulled her to stand in front of her.

She was familiar with Qi Xiu, but they didn't meet every day, so with her personality, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him. Seeing that she was eagerly waiting for Qi Xiu to play with her, Mrs. Qi simply let the two of them stroll by themselves.

There were many pilgrims in the Qi'an Temple today. Although there were people coming and going, it was not noisy. Most of them were famous ladies from the capital who came together. There were many people burning incense in the main hall, and the green smoke in front of the hall was curling up. As soon as you stepped into the temple gate, you would be hit in the face by the strong smell of incense. Qi Xiu and Gu Ya did not join in the fun, but chose a small path and went straight to a side hall.

"I remember that I came here with Brother Xiu, and we prayed to the Buddha together..."

As Gu Ya was speaking, she suddenly thought of something and squeezed closer to him with a cry.

"I still remember that Ah Xiu was a stingy person and he didn't even tell me what the fortune stick he was asking for was!"

Hearing this, Qi Xiu smiled helplessly: "You have a good memory."

What Gu Ya was talking about was the time two years ago. Apart from that time, he never came again.

"Of course not." Gu Ya raised her head proudly. "Ah Xiu, if you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. But I'm curious and want to ask if Ah Xiu has gotten what he wanted?"

Did everything go as planned?

Qi Xiu lowered his eyelids, then shook his head and laughed.

"It's effective, I guess."

When he shook the lot, it said there was no water in the river, so it was a bad lot. So it seemed to be effective.

"What's the effect?" Gu Ya wrinkled her nose. "I'm asking about the prayer belt you hung at that time. What I wished for was that my Gu family's business would prosper. But Ah Xiu, you see, something happened to the farm some time ago, causing my family to lose a lot of money, and the rival family took the opportunity to suppress us. This time, it will take Dad a long time to recover..."

On the way here, Qi Xiu also heard from Madam Qi that this was also the reason why Gu's son joined the army. The competition among merchants in Daqin was fierce, and whenever he encountered any problems, it was easy for others to take advantage of the opportunity to step on him. Therefore, he wanted to give up business and join the army to create a future for the Gu family and his sister.

"Perhaps there are too many people in this world who need blessings, so the Buddha... um, only let me fulfill my wish for two years?"

Gu Ya lowered her voice at the end and put her hands together and bowed as she spoke. Qi Xiu smiled at her and before he could say anything, she pulled him and they started walking quickly.

"Aya, what are you doing?"

"Go hang up a prayer belt, it will bless you for two years..."

The place to hang the prayer belt is actually just behind the main hall. There is a very tall and large ginkgo tree with many branches branching out from the trunk. The fan-shaped leaves are densely packed, and the branches are slightly drooped due to the weight of the leaves.
