1618 She Was A Little Disappointed
The realization hit Yaoyao. “I see. No wonder there are so many people.”
“That’s right. It’s like this every year.” Yuan You stepped forward and looked around while she said this. However, she could see nothing but people’s heads and she could not help sighing. “We should have come yesterday. We could have spent the night in town and visited the Temple Festival early today.” She sounded quite a little dejected.
“We did decide to come here at the last minute,” said Hexin.
“Alright, girls. We should head inside since we’re here, but please be careful,” Yuan Xin said.
Yaoyao watched the moving heads around and felt that it was not safe to squeeze into the crowd. She held Yuan Xin’s hand and said, “Aunt Xin, there are too many people. It’s dangerous for us to squeeze in there. Let’s forget about it. We better not go any further. The view around this little town isn’t bad. Why don’t we just walk around the outskirts of the town?”
Yuan Xin was quite happy to accommodate Yaoyao when she heard this.
She was also a little worried when she saw how huge the crowd was. Moreover, their party consisted of a few young, pretty girls. It was not a good idea to be squeezing into a large crowd.
Before Hexin and Yuan You could say anything, Yuan Xin immediately agreed. “It’s just as well. We can visit the matchmaker temple to pray on another day when there isn’t such a huge crowd. It would be just the same.”
Hexin was fine with this as the Temple Festival was held every year, but Yuan You was a little disappointed—she had specially come today just for the Temple Festival. Her family had refused to let her visit the festival before this because she was still young.
“Don’t be sad. We can come again next year.” Hexin comforted her.
“I’ll have to come here a few days in advance next year and stay in this little town. That way, I’ll be able to walk around immediately on the day of the Temple Festival,” Yuan You said with a pout.
“The Temple Festival always has so many people. Even if you stayed in the town beforehand, you’ll still be squeezed anywhere you go during the festival,” Hexin said with a smile.
Yuan You’s head drooped when she heard this. “You’re right.”
“If you just want to pray at the matchmaker temple, you can come on any normal day and avoid the crowd,” Hexin added.
“Let’s stay the night and pray at the matchmaker temple tomorrow,” suggested Yuan You. She leaned in close to her ear and added in a whisper, “I heard this matchmaker temple can grant wishes. Let’s draw divination sticks there tomorrow, Cousin Hexin.”
Hexin glanced at her. She did not expect Yuan You to perk up so quickly after being dejected a moment ago.
She had been in a sad mood a few days ago when His Majesty showed his desire to marry Yaoyao. Now, however, she was eager to inquire about her love life.
Hexin was pretty impressed.
However, it was a little too soon for Yuan You to be asking about love life.
“Let me ask Yaoyao about this. If she wants to stay here, it’s fine with me too.”
If she did, Aunt Yuan Xin would find out about her wanting to ask about romance.
When Yaoyao heard Hexin’s explanation, she glanced at Yuan You and gave this some thought before agreeing. “Sounds good. There’s nothing for us to do if we go back, anyway. Let’s stay a night in this town and visit the matchmaker temple tomorrow before we return.” With that, she turned to ask Yuan Xin, “Aunt Xin, do you want to stay too?”
Yuan Xin was a little worried about a few girls staying by themselves out here, but then she remembered she had a holiday home next to the town. She said, “It’s rare for you young people to get together for some fun. An old lady like me will just get in your way if you find me annoying. You should spend the night at the holiday home and visit the matchmaker temple tomorrow, but make sure to return before tomorrow evening.”
