Li Ming said, "How about this, don't be in such a hurry to reject. Why don't you come with me to look at the house first? You can make a decision after you look at it. "
At this point, Li Rui remembered that he came to burn incense with Ding Yijing. When he turned around, he saw that she was not beside him. He looked around and found that she was strolling in front of a wicker basket not far away. He thought that she was smart and did not want to reveal their close relationship. He said, "Brother, I'll go burn incense first. You guys go look at the house first. I'll look for you guys after I'm done."
Li Ming thought about it and did not force him. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll contact each other later. We'll go first."
Guo Xingwang also said a few words of courtesy and the two walked towards the parking lot.
Lin Yali did not move. She looked at Li Rui with a smile and asked, "Who is that beauty to you?" Li Rui was both amused and embarrassed. He thought that Ding Yijing had already avoided her but who knew that he still could not avoid her poisonous eyes. Sigh, he had to admit that women were very sensitive in this aspect. He said, "Oh, she's an old classmate. She wanted to burn incense but didn't know the way so she asked me to bring her here." Lin Yali smiled and said, "Old classmate? I think she's an old lover? "Li Rui said seriously," Just an old classmate. We have a good relationship. Don't think too much. "
Lin Yali did not care about his private life. She was just teasing him. Seeing him like this, she did not continue and said softly, "Are you afraid that you will owe Guo Xingwang a favor so you don't want to accept his house?" Li Rui said, "Of course. It's easy to accept the house but if he asks me for help in the future, should I help him or not?" Lin Yali said, "Don't worry. He probably won't ask you for help. This favor will be on Li Ming's head. In the past few years, Guo Xingwang took a few pieces of land in the South District to build a small district. They were all done by Li Ming. He owes him a lot of favors. Why else would he give him a villa? Don't worry and accept it. "
Li Rui was a little moved by her words and couldn't make up his mind.
Lin Yali continued, "Don't be fooled by the price tag of a villa. That's for the public. In fact, it's just bricks and cement. The cost is less than 200,000 yuan. The land is all mountainous, so it's not worth much. A few hundred acres of mountainous land might only cost one or two million. A house's land is at most a few tens of thousands of yuan. Everything adds up to less than 300,000 yuan, but Li Ming gave him a residential district land approval, so he can earn tens of millions. Therefore, we only want two houses, which is a bargain for him. "
When she said this, she suddenly thought of something. Her beautiful eyes lit up and she excitedly said: "How about this, you don't want to ask Guo Xingwang for this house, let Li Ming ask him for it. When Li Ming gets it in his hands, he will give it to you. In this way, all the favors will be taken care of by Li Ming and you won't have to worry about it. What do you think? Is this good enough? " Li Ruixin was a little moved. He looked back and saw that Li Ming had walked away. He turned back and whispered: "Good Yali, you are always so good to me. How can I repay you?" Lin Yali giggled and said: "You can say such nice things to me more often. That's how you repay me."
When Lin Yali left, Li Rui watched her leave. His heart was warm, but then he thought that he would soon have a private villa. He was a little excited. He couldn't wait to spend the night in that villa with Ding Yijing. Of course, that was on the premise that Qingman wouldn't come back this afternoon.
He let his imagination run wild. He felt that the incense in his hand was getting heavier and heavier. He remembered his business and turned to look for Ding Yijing.
Ding Yijing was waiting for him on the side of the road, but she didn't look at him. At first glance, it seemed that she had nothing to do with him.
Li Rui walked to her side and said: "Let's go, honey. Did you see a rattan basket?" Ding Yijing shook her head and said: "No, I just found it interesting."
Actually, the goods on display at the temple fair were not very attractive to the local villagers. Instead, they were attractive to the people from the big cities who had never been to the mountain villages. For example, there were all kinds of wild fruits, all kinds of baskets made of grass and vines, and all kinds of local herbs. The people from the city had never seen these mountain products before. They would buy them out of curiosity. Anyway, the price wasn't too expensive.
Li Rui said: "If you see something you like, just tell me. I will buy it for you." Ding Yijing's temperament was quite cold most of the time. Now she was still cold. She only said: "I didn't come here to visit the temple fair. Let's hurry up. The earlier we go up the mountain, the earlier we can burn the incense so we can go home early. "Li Rui said:" Why are you in such a hurry to go home? Let's stay outside for a while. "Ding Yijing said:" We still have to finish our business first. Aren't you tired carrying the incense? "
Li Rui laughed and held her hand again. He suddenly remembered that Yu Heping was also on the mountain. His secretary, Ji Gang, must also be with him. If he was too close to Ding Yijing and they found out, it would be hard to explain. He was wearing sunglasses, but his height, face shape and walking posture would be easy to recognize. Thinking about this, he quickly withdrew his hand and said in a low voice: "The mayor is burning incense in the temple on the mountain. He doesn't like my boss, so he doesn't like me. So I can't let him see me with you. Let's go separately. You go first, I go after."
Ding Yijing was surprised: "Aren't you wearing sunglasses? Are you afraid that he'll recognize you? " Li Rui said: "Wearing sunglasses can only confuse people who aren't close to me. People who are close to me will recognize me at a glance." Ding Yijing pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She quickened her pace and walked in front.
Li Rui slowed down his pace and waited until she was more than ten meters away before he caught up. He maintained the same distance the whole time.
From the foot of the mountain all the way to the top, the horizontal distance was more than ten li. The vertical height was at least a thousand meters. At first, Ding Yijing strolled around with ease. She looked around and was very satisfied. But when she walked halfway, she couldn't walk anymore. She slowed down and finally stopped by the side of the road to rest.
Li Rui looked ahead to see if there was Yu Heping among the people going down the mountain. But when he looked up, he saw the cable car going to the top of the mountain. His heart brightened. How could he have overlooked this? At Yu Heping's age, how could he have the strength to climb up and down such a high mountain? He must have taken the cable car up and down. How could he have bumped into him? Thinking of this, he felt relieved. He walked behind Ding Yijing and smiled: "You can't do it. We're only halfway up and you can't climb anymore?"
Ding Yijing turned around and glanced at him. She didn't say anything.
Li Rui opened his mouth to say: "Why don't we take the cable car up?" But when he thought about how they had already missed the starting point of the cable car, and how they might encounter Yu Heping in midair, he swallowed his words and said: "Let's rest for a while. We'll go up after we've rested enough."
The two walked and rested. They didn't realize that time had passed. After about forty minutes, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain and arrived at the Grandma Temple. Li Rui shared the incense with Ding Yijing, and the two burned it separately. Li Rui then took out a hundred yuan and donated it to the temple. As a reward for his merits, he received six red ribbons from the temple's virtuous abbot. This was one of the special features of Granny Qing Yang Temple. These ribbons were blessed by the old granny. They could be taken home as belts, hung in the living room, or tied to the rearview mirror of the car. It was said that these ribbons could protect one's well-being. As long as one visited Granny Qing Yang Temple, they would basically bring back a few ribbons.
After finishing the business, it was time to go down the mountain. Both of them were a little tired and weak, so they decided to take the cable car down. When they walked out of Grandma Temple, Ding Yijing found an old nun who was setting up a fortune-telling stall in the corner outside the door. She walked over.
Li Rui saw her intention and reminded her in a low voice: "Don't believe her. She's a scammer. She's just a local village woman. She put on a costume and turned into a nun. But think about it, why would a real nun run out to do fortune-telling to make money?"
Ding Yijing ignored him and walked a dozen steps to the front of the nun's stall. The old nun smiled at her and said in a local accent: "What's the big deal about a beauty?"
Her words were full of philistine and didn't sound like a nun at all. Li Rui secretly frowned when he heard this, but seeing that Ding Yijing was determined to do a fortune-telling, he let her do it.
Ding Yijing said, "Calculate my marriage fate with him." Finished speaking, she tilted her head and glanced at him.
The old nun said: "Sure, tell me your birthday first." Ding Yijing then told her the lunar birthday. The old nun opened a fortune-telling book on the table and flipped through it according to her birthday.
Li Rui laughed so hard that his teeth almost fell out. He thought to himself, "Even if you want to cheat others, you should at least practice your basic skills. At least you can deduce a person's birth characters as soon as they say their birthdate. But this auntie took out a book and checked it on the spot. Damn, do we still have to look for you?" Can't we just buy a fortune-telling book from a street stall and flip through it? He rolled his eyes and turned to look at the mountain scenery.
After the old nun found Ding Yijing's birthday, she took out a small notebook and wrote it down. She then asked Li Rui's birthday. Li Rui patiently told her. He thought to himself: I want to see what you can calculate today.
The old nun took out his birth and fate, and also recorded it in her little book, and lined it up with Ding Yijing's. Soon after, she pretended to pinch her fingers, and then stole a glance at the two people's expression. She said, "You two are a perfect match, your eight characters are compatible, you are destined to be husband and wife. It's just that there will be a lot of bumps, but as long as you overcome the bumps, you will be able to grow old together. Uh, you two are definitely not married yet. Let me tell you, you can get married when you go back. " She then said to Ding Yijing in a serious tone: "You have the appearance of a good husband. If he marries you, he will become even better." She then said to Li Rui: "You have a big fortune in your life. You haven't made it yet. Wait until she gives birth to your child. Your child is the reincarnation of the Child of Wealth by Guanyin's side …"
