Chapter 155 - Meeting At The Lake

Chapter 155: Meeting At The Lake

He seemed to recall something. The bodhisattva seemed to have asked him to marry Miss Liu. However, the girl of the Liu Family...was said to have mental problems. She had tried to commit suicide without rhyme or reason. She also mistreated her servants by either hitting them or scolding them. Her temper was worse and she did not know how to respect her elders.

They were all told this by Bai Qi. When Bai Qi had heard that he was going to marry Miss Liu, he tried very hard to persuade him to drop the idea.

Was Avalokite?vara telling the truth?

Was the dream true?

Jia Zhenbo lifted himself out of bed and suddenly spotted something. A petal under his bed? Was this...a lotus petal? Was this left by Avalokite?vara?

It certainly is!

It turned out that Avalokite?vara’s lotus seat was made with fresh flowers. He found that he had been so ill-informed before.

Jia Zhenbo remembered the bodhisattva’s instruction. She had asked him to go to the lotus pond outside of the town where he would meet the girl of his destiny.

Will Liu Qianqian be there?

...

Jia Zhenbo did not mention his dream to a soul. After getting up, he just freshened up peacefully as usual and went out after lunch.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoxian and Liu Qianqian were appreciating the flowers at the lotus pond. Despite the hot weather, the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully here outside of the town, which had attracted many scholars and young girls. Some could paint, so they came here to sketch among nature’s surroundings.

Liu Qianqian asked Ye Xiaoxian, “Will Jia Zhenbo surely make it today?”

“Of course he will. Why should I lie to you? It’s so hot today. Do you think I want to be outside? I’m doing this all for your benefit, aren’t I?”

Liu Qianqian was rather touched. “You’re the best. By the way, how did you get him to come?”

Ye Xiaoxian then told Liu Qianqian every single detail from the night before.

Hearing what Ye Xiaoxian said, Liu Qianqian was stunned. “What if I won’t have a son but only daughters?”

“Then the Megrez star won’t come.”

“What if I will have a son but he’s unable to come first in the exam?”

“I’ve told him that it will depend on how you bring him up. If he fails then you, the parents, are to blame for not teaching him properly.”

Liu Qianqian’s eyes were still wide. “Seriously?”

“Why not? Our purpose now is to trick him to marry you. As for what will happen in future, we’d better talk about that later!”

“But even if he comes, how can he recognize me?” asked Liu Qianqian again. “He never saw me before. If I go over to ask him, it will look too contrived, won’t it?”

“This is a real problem. I didn’t consider this yesterday. Let me have a think.”

Liu Qianqian was speechless.

They had just done talking when Ye Xiaoxian saw Jia Zhenbo walking towards them. He walked while observing the people around the lake. Perhaps he was trying to figure out which one was Liu Qianqian.

Liu Qianqian thought that they must not force it to happen. How about tripping over in front of him? Or dropping something in front of him. Nothing seemed appropriate to do. If she fell over too hard, it would ruin his first impression of her. If she just slightly fell over, it would look too fake. It was not ideal to drop something in front of him. What if he did not see it? Besides, whatever way they could come up with for tricking him would surely also occur to others as some scheme.

Jia Zhenbo was not only good-looking and of a fine demeanor, but he had come to the pond alone. Just as he arrived, a girl took off her earring and tossed it in front of him, saying coyly, “Oh, my earring fell off.”

Jia Zhenbo picked up the earring and returned it to the lady. The lady was so touched. “Thank you, sir. May I know your name?”

Liu Qianqian was rather anxious. “Little Ye, think of something quickly. Otherwise others will flirt and hook up with him.”

Ye Xiaoxian was of course thinking very hard as she was also quite anxious.
