Chapter 1350 Disappointment
Chapter 1350 Disappointment
Yun Shuang'er has always been a rational woman, but since her relationship with Ye Feng has warmed up in the past six months, her heart has slowly opened up, and she has experienced a first love that is decades overdue.
A woman who is never rational in love.
No matter how rational a person was, they can become emotional.
Yun Shuang'er was just curious and wanted to try this money-throwing game; she didn't take it seriously.
After all, Ye Feng's bizarre actions had made the whole thing quite absurd.
However, when she saw that not a single one of the five thousand copper coins had fallen into the underwater spout, Yun Shuang'er's pretty face clearly turned ugly.
The surrounding chatter was also incessant.
Ye Feng stomped his feet in anger.
"What the hell? This is outrageous! The Buddhist sect is really ruthless in its money-making schemes! So many copper coins and not a single one went in? No way, Shuang'er, even a Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and a person fights for a breath of air. We're going to fight this well to the death today!"
Ye Feng kept taking out copper coins from the black silk bracelet, another five strings.
This was his last copper coin.
Ye Feng was a wealthy man who mostly used banknotes or cash, and rarely used copper coins. He only carried ten strings of copper coins with him.
This time, Ye Feng was smarter. Instead of letting Yun Shuang'er pour all the copper coins into the well at once, he had her stand in front of the well and throw them in handful by handful.
Yun Shuang'er originally wanted to refuse.
But then I thought of the wish I had just made.
If no copper coins are put into the urn, wouldn't my wish be in vain?
Fortunately, Yun Shuang'er is currently in Qin Ying's appearance. If people knew that this new generation's number one fairy in the mortal world was throwing large sums of money into the wishing well in front of so many people in order to have good luck in marriage, it would definitely shock everyone.
One, two...
The coins slowed their descent as they entered the water, but each coin avoided the small opening of the jar.
With less than a third of the five thousand copper coins remaining, Ye Feng grew anxious.
He said, "Shuang'er, perhaps we're not using the right method. Let's try them one by one..."
Yun Shuang'er's eyes held a complex expression.
She tossed them in one by one, doing the same thing.
More than two hundred coins were thrown in, but not a single one fell into the jar.
The murmurs of the surrounding crowd grew louder and louder.
Everyone found it incredible.
After all, based on experience, it usually takes about twenty copper coins to buy one.
A woman said, "Young lady, isn't your wish too big? Buddha can't grant it for you. Why don't you try a smaller wish?"
Ye Feng turned to look at the woman and said, "Hey, what did you say? This thing is a scam. If you're so capable, why don't you try hitting one yourself?"
The woman was stubborn and pushed through the crowd, saying, "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, she took out three copper coins from her purse and threw one into the ancient well.
The copper coin wobbled as it entered the water, then landed precisely in the spout of the pot, which was almost the same size as the coin.
The woman immediately cheered and shouted, "I got it, brother! I hit it!"
A young man who came with her also cheered happily.
The others also cheered and congratulated the two.
But to Yun Shuang'er, all of this sounded so jarring.
She stopped throwing coins into the wishing well and instead gave the remaining thousand or so coins to Ye Feng.
She said slowly, "Xiao Feng, let's go."
Ye Feng gritted his teeth and glared at the girl who had hit the spout of the pot. He then threw the remaining copper coins and the copper basin into the wishing well.
This provoked widespread dissatisfaction.
However, after Ye Feng shook the Purple-Green Divine Sword in his hand a few times, his dissatisfied voice immediately disappeared.
Ye Feng caught up with Yun Shuang'er and saw that she was pale and looked unwell. He comforted her, "Shuang'er, don't be angry. It's just a matter of probability. If you try a few more times, you'll definitely win."
"Yes, I know, but I didn't care."
Yun Shuang'er said with some disappointment.
Looking at Yun Shuang'er's expression, even if Ye Feng were a complete idiot, he would know that Yun Shuang'er was lying.
He wanted to slap himself for not leaving earlier and instead wandering around this dilapidated temple!
He asked cautiously, "Shuang'er, you look terrible. What did you wish for just now?"
Yun Shuang'er gently shook her head, without answering.
At this moment, Yue Yinling, Miao Xiaorou, and Shangguan Lan, who were praying for marriage in the Guanyin Hall, came out, each with a smile on their face.
Upon seeing Ye Feng and Yun Shuang'er, the three women immediately approached.
Miao Xiaorou said happily, "Xiaofeng, Shuang'er, you're still outside. The three of us drew fortune sticks for marriage, and they were all the best. The old nun who interpreted the sticks said that my love star is shining brightly, and I'll soon find my true love! Hahaha! Just because of what she said, I added a hundred taels of silver to this little temple for incense money! I've already planned that if I really find my true love, I will definitely come to this little temple to give thanks!"
Yue Yinling said, "Shangguan and I also got the best fortune, so we each added one hundred taels of silver as incense money!"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said, "One hundred taels? You three girls are really rich! You're usually so stingy, how come you become so generous when it comes to marriage?"
Yue Yinling laughed and said, "Kid, you're still young, only sixteen. You don't know how eager we older single women are to get married. Let alone a hundred taels, if we can really find a suitable husband, even ten thousand taels of incense money would be worth it. Look at the fortune slip I drew."
Yue Yinling handed Ye Feng a slip of paper as if to show off.
Ye Feng took the note, which read: "A single meeting in the golden autumn breeze and jade dew surpasses countless encounters in the mortal world. The magpie bridge across the Milky Way has now been crossed, and the zither and lute resonate in harmony from dawn till dusk."
Yue Yinling said proudly, "The old nun who interpreted the divination slip said that our destiny is ordained by heaven, and that we are a perfect match. We were bound together in our past lives, and our bond will last forever in this one. Our time together will be as beautiful as the moon, and our marriage as radiant as the stars. May we be united in heart and live a long and healthy life. It's an extremely rare and auspicious divination slip! I'm sure I'll find my Mr. Right!"
Shangguan Lan said, "My fortune slip reads: 'The flowing water of the imperial moat carries spring back, a devoted heart is entrusted to a brocade letter. Do not say that a good match is a thousand miles away, for the orchid boat has already reached the shore of Wuling.' The fortune-telling nun said that my fortune slip is blessed by the heavens, the phoenix letter is a pair, no obstacles are set in the mountains, and letters are exchanged by fish and geese. On the Three Lives Stone, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. With painted eyebrows and a raised tray, our love will last forever."
Miao Xiaorou immediately said, "My fortune slip reads: 'A red thread binds our feet from a past life, jade trees and precious branches lean against the clouds. Today we gaze at the full moon together, next year we'll hear the sound of a baby boy.' The interpretation is: A red thread secretly binds us, a perfect match made in heaven, success in the imperial examinations, auspicious signs, parents flourishing together, orchids and cassia blooming in unison. May good fortune last forever, and blessings everlasting. It's an extremely auspicious fortune slip, one that comes along only once every ten years!"
Xiao Feng, Shuang'er, you two should go try it too! The marriage fortune sticks here are very accurate!
