Chapter 497

Just like what the two girls mentioned earlier, this Guanyin Temple was very effective but its effectiveness was famous for its marriage fortune sign just like the "Three Lives Stone" of Lingyin Temple. Lingyin Temple was also known as the "Marriage Temple" with the same reputation as the Guanyin Temple but most women came to this Guanyin Temple to seek marriage and peach blossom from the Guanyin deity.

Last time, Qin Jiu came with Yun Jiaoniang, but at that time, she had already had an arranged marriage and just came along to join the fun.

Could it be that Gu Zezhi also came here to seek marriage, so he came here to fulfill his wish? Just imagining that scene made Qin Jiu laugh foolishly alone.

Although it was the twelfth lunar month of the winter month, it did not affect the incense at Guanyin Temple in the slightest. However, one could see that there were only a small number of pilgrims and more women. The younger ones came to seek marriage, while the older ones accompanied the younger generations, such as daughters or granddaughters to seek marriage.

Gu Zezhi's arrival inevitably made him stand out from the crowd, and the eyes of those women and girls were all directed towards him, shining brightly.

Some still suppressed their voices, while others simply could not control their volume, especially a middle-aged woman's slightly shrill voice penetrating Qin Jiu's ears. "Little darling, look, that little madam must have brought her husband here to fulfill her promise."

Qin Jiu: "..."

The middle-aged woman continued, "Little darling, later on, you have to be more sincere to the Guanyin Goddess and also ask for a beautiful husband like him, who will make you feel good just by looking at him."

Qin Jiu could not help but look at Gu Zezhi. Well, he's really good looking!

The corners of her lips curled up again, revealing a pair of light-pearl dimples.

She followed Gu Zezhi with light footsteps and arrived at the foot of a vigorous, century-old Osmanthus tree. The lush branches were covered with red ropes for making wishes.

Underneath the tree, dozens of girls gathered around the thick trunk of the osmanthus tree, all struggling to throw the red rope with a wooden plaque tied to one end of the branches.

The legend has it that, as long as the red rope was hung on a tree branch, one could find a beautiful and good relationship. The higher the tree branch hung, the greater the blessings and the better the marriage.

Standing here at this moment, Qin Jiu suddenly knew why Gu Zezhi had come.

Last time, when she and Yun Jiaoniang came here, they did not ask for a good marriage because they were already engaged, but they still threw a red string to make a wish on the tree.

Yun Jiaoniang has been practicing martial arts since childhood, with greater strength and better accuracy. She naturally throws much higher than her.

She casually mentioned this matter to Qin Zeyu and had not told anyone else about it, so it was obvious from whom Gu Zezhi had heard.

Qin Zeyu really could tell Gu Zezhi anything.

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Jiu watched Gu Zezhi add incense money and then brought a red rope with a wooden sign hanging over it.

He chose a spot under the tree and weighed a red rope with wooden plaques hanging at both ends. Qin Jiu saw with her sharp eyes that the wooden plaques at both ends of the rope had their names written on them, with strong and vigorous handwriting, with a hint of sophistication, indicating that they were written by Gu Zezhi.
