Chapter 378 - 133: Ma Chengteng Visits the Mountain_4
The old nanny said with a smile, "Yes, Hua Lei mentioned that Third Young Lady often goes to the Scripture Pavilion of Zhaohua Temple to borrow and copy scriptures. What’s surprising is that during the copying of the scriptures, Third Young Lady can remember the scriptural texts. Not only that, she also understood most of it, which is why Master Ru Kong feels that Cousin Miss possesses intelligence. Hua Lei also said that if the Third Young Lady were not a girl, she might have even been taken away to be ordained."
Ruo Lan laughed and said, "Who would have thought Cousin Miss would gain such a Buddhist connection from a single visit to the temple? The hardships she endured in the mountains were worth it." The previous rumors vanished in an instant, which was good for Yueyao.
Cai Yun was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Young lady, was this incident a coincidence?"
Ruo Lan touched her belly and fell into thought again. Was it a coincidence? But wasn’t it too coincidental? However, scheming against the high monks of the temple was difficult. The difficulty lay in the fact that these monks were all purified of worldly desires, indifferent to power and gains, making them hard to scheme against.
Cai Yun also felt that this was no coincidence and said, "Young lady, if this was not a coincidence, then Cousin Miss is too cunning." If it was not a coincidence, then everything from deliberately spreading rumors about herself to going to the temple was a calculated move by Cousin Miss, which was quite frightening. She is only a nine-year-old child!
Ruo Lan instinctively shook her head, "It should be a coincidence, right? Such things can’t be planned." Gaining the monks’ recognition from Zhaohua Temple was no easy feat. It required the right time, place, and people, and Yueyao, no matter how clever, could not have planned it so meticulously.
Cai Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "Young lady, Cousin Miss can remember the scriptural texts after just one reading and even understand them thoroughly. Does Cousin Miss have a photographic memory?"
Ruo Lan laughed and said, "Even if she doesn’t have a photographic memory, her memory is certainly top-notch." Ruo Lan thought about Yueyao’s situation and shook her head, saying, "What a pity."
Cai Yun laughed and asked, "Young lady, do you think it’s a pity that Cousin Miss is a girl?"
