Chapter 230 Don’t dwell on the past
The carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain. Today was neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so there were not many people burning incense. Zhao Zhuoxi took Jiang Jiu and climbed all the way up the mountain from the foot of the mountain.
"The Guanyin in this Guanyin Temple is very powerful. She can grant any wish you have. Let's go."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu was out of breath after walking a few steps.
This shouldn't be the case. The original owner was the daughter of a general. Everyone was strong, but she couldn't even climb the mountain.
"I just want to go straight to the top of the mountain now. I don't want to climb anymore. It's too tiring."
Zhao Zhuoxi looked at Jiang Jiu's originally pink face, which was now a little pale. He had fainted several times and his chin was so thin that it became pointed.
He squatted in front of her and said, "Come, I'll carry you up."
Jiang Jiu smiled happily and jumped onto Zhao Zhuoxi's back.
"That's a good idea, but don't let me fall."
When Jiang Jiu jumped onto his back, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes, and she became lighter again.
The mountain was not very high, and Zhao Zhuoxi, who practiced martial arts, carried her on his back as if it were a game, and they soon reached the top of the mountain.
Because we had decided to stay here for two days in advance, the host was already waiting outside the door.
As soon as he saw Zhao Zhuoxi coming, he shouted "Amitabha" and led the person to the back.
"Donor, please take a rest first before you pay your respects to the Bodhisattva."
Zhao Zhuoxi was indeed tired, after all, he was carrying a living person on his back. However, he was carrying his beloved, so he had plenty of strength.
Just as he was about to ask Jiang Jiu, he saw Jiang Jiu jump off his back and point to the Bodhi tree not far away and ask: "Can I make a wish there? I see a lot of wishing strips there."
The host smiled kindly, and a little monk came over carrying two trays.
"Here you can write your wishes by hand and hang them on the branches. The donor's wish will surely come true."
"Okay, let's go there and make a wish first."
Jiang Jiu pulled Zhao Zhuoxi to the Bodhi tree, and the little monk followed with a tray.
Jiang Jiu picked up a pen and wrote on the red cloth: May you have a smooth life, good health and longevity.
She had just finished writing and was about to go see Zhao Zhuoxi's.
Zhao Zhuoxi didn't hide it and showed it to her openly.
"The country will be forever stable, and the people will live in peace and prosperity."
"You are truly a good emperor. You don't pray for yourself, but for the people. You have a great vision."
Zhao Zhuoxi smiled slightly: "Let me see yours..."
Jiang Jiu hid behind his back: "If you don't show it to me, it won't work if I see it..."
Zhao Zhuoxi didn't force her. He seemed to have returned to the past in a trance. At that time, he was Lu Yunyang. He had just made a lot of money by betting with Jiang Jiu and was preparing to go to Su City.
Before leaving, Jiang Jiu and I both thought of visiting the Guanyin Temple to worship.
Jiang Jiu also wrote down his wishes and blessings here. He also wrote.
Similarly, Jiang Jiu didn't show it to him, but at that time, he didn't show it to Jiang Jiu either, and the two of them played around for a while.
Things have changed and people have changed. Jiang Jiu has now forgotten him.
Zhao Zhuoxi threw it up with force, and his wish note got hung on the tree.
Jiang Jiu also threw it up with force, but not only did her wish strip not get stuck on the tree, it knocked down someone else's wish strip instead.
"Hey, it fell off. Let me see."
"Making a fortune and becoming the richest man is such a grand wish. Jiang Jiu..."
She actually has the same name and surname as her.
Jiang Jiu looked up at Zhao Zhuoxi and felt dizzy.
Then she saw Zhao Zhuoxi hugging her all of a sudden: "Ronghua, Ronghua, don't faint, hold on."
A bitter and sweet pill was stuffed into Jiang Jiu's mouth.
Jiang Jiu's mind felt a little clearer.
"Why are you so pale?"
Zhao Zhuoxi was so scared that he was shaking all over. Chu Yu said that if Jiang Jiu fainted again, he would probably be in a coma for longer and longer periods of time and would never wake up again.
He didn't dare to gamble.
"You scared me, what happened?"
Jiang Jiu handed the wishing note to Zhao Zhuoxi. Zhao Zhuoxi took a look at the signature and it happened to be the same wishing note that Jiang Jiu had made last time.
"Jiang Jiu, this is the owner of Yiye Pianzhou, the richest man in Jiangnan. Xiang County is her hometown. It seems her wish has come true."
Jiang Jiu couldn't lie to himself anymore.
"Is there another Jiang Jiu at this time?"
There was something wrong with this question, but Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi didn't notice it either.
Zhao Zhuoxi nodded. He decided to lie to her so that she would never pursue the matter again.
She is herself, the new Jiang Jiu.
"Yes, she was originally the daughter of the Jiang family. When she was born, she was ranked ninth. She happened to be born on September 9th, so her full name was Jiang Yao and her nickname was Jiuer. In other words, Jiang Jiu."
Jiang Jiu's eyes flashed. What a coincidence, she was also born on September 9th.
It seems that the two do have a connection.
Zhao Zhuoxi added: "Thirty-five years ago, after she got married, her husband's family died, and she started doing business, making salt, sugar, glass, and toilets. She did a lot of strange things that made life very convenient."
"She earned a lot of money, but strangely enough, she used it to buy land and real estate. She owned land and real estate in almost every city."
Jiang Jiu was surprised. This person was definitely a time traveler.
Only people from modern times like to buy houses after making money. It is almost a habit ingrained in their bones.
Zhao Zhuoxi continued, "So she became the richest man in Jiangnan. Later, she went to the capital and met my third brother. However, my third brother had already married and had children at that time. She didn't want to be a mistress, so she returned to Sucheng."
Jiang Jiu nodded. The women in her place were unwilling to be mistresses to men.
Besides, she has become the richest person in Jiangnan.
"and after?"
Zhao Zhuoxi added, "Later, her business grew bigger and bigger, attracting the covetousness of many people. My third brother secretly protected her. She never married and had no children in her lifetime. When she died, she left all her property to my third brother."
"My third brother was heartbroken over her death and died not long after. Before he died, he entrusted all his property to me."
"At that time, my eldest brother was incompetent and the government was controlled by the Empress and her family. To prevent the court from falling into the hands of another family, I went to the capital to negotiate with my eldest brother and the Empress. Ultimately, I cleared the court and ascended the throne."
Jiang Jiu had no impression of what he said, he just believed what he said.
Nodding: "It's not easy for you either. I didn't expect your third brother to be so affectionate."
Jiang Jiu suddenly had a brain circuit: "So, are you also secretly in love with her?"
"What?" Zhao Zhuoxi was slightly stunned and didn't understand what Jiang Jiu meant.
Jiang Jiu chuckled, "I mean, since you've been living in Su City, you must have seen her. Since she's so attractive, do you have a crush on her? It's just that given the huge age difference between you two and the fact that she's your third brother's girlfriend, you've kept this love to yourself."
Zhao Zhuoxi's face darkened, with a black line on his forehead.
This girl's train of thought was too complicated, but this just explained why he always looked at others through her.
Zhao Zhuoxi gritted his teeth and actually agreed to this statement.
"Yeah, a secret crush."
Jiang Jiu understood: "That's right, I was saying, you always look at me as if I were someone else, it turns out... it's her..."
Zhao Zhuoxi suddenly added gloomily, "But she is a soul from another world..."
