I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 372 Come to the door
The oil shop is not a big one, with only a storefront and two doors. Behind the doors is a long counter with jars of various sizes placed on it, and the aroma of oil wafts out from here.

At this moment, a young man in gray clothes was busy in the shop. In another corner of the shop, a young monk couldn't help but sigh and said, "So, Miss Yaoqin has made up her mind?"

The young man paused, his hands trembling slightly, then he raised his head with a smile on his face and said, "I'm just an oil seller. Forget about her wearing gold and silver jewelry and riding in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Even if she doesn't want all that, a box of rouge and powder is enough for me to live on for three months. If you follow me, you will only suffer endlessly. Why bother?"

Then he clasped his hands together, bowed to the monk, and said, "I would like to thank Master Shannian for allowing me to see Miss Yaoqin again. Even if I die in this life, I will have no regrets."

Having said that, Zhu Zhong's eyes seemed to be slightly red, thinking of their meeting in the flower room last night. They first met by chance in the garden, and he had never forgotten her since then. He saved up fifty taels of silver in two and a half years, and finally moved Hua Gu with his sincerity, and she promised him that he could accompany the courtesan for half the night after midnight.

Unexpectedly, the courtesan was drunk that night. He and the courtesan were both refugees from the evil spirit, so they were from the same hometown. He thought they could chat for half the night and listen to the local accent, but the courtesan did not wake up until dawn, and left in a hurry after only a few words.

It was not until he kindly gave her a bowl of vegetarian food that Master Shannian was moved to help him monopolize the courtesan for a night. That was the night they were able to express their true feelings to each other. Although they did not even hold hands, he had fulfilled his wish.

Monk Shannian sighed, thinking of yesterday's gamble and feeling a little hesitant. The master's last instructions before going down the mountain seemed to still be ringing in his ears.

"The fate of the rich family, the Dharma is passed down when thunder comes. After passing the three levels, the Bodhi mind is enlightened."

"Master, Master, what exactly does this sixteen-character verse of yours mean? Do you really want me to teach you the Dharma?"

Monk Shannian sighed, chanted a few 'Amitabha's', and then said, "The law of cause and effect is rare. I think your fate with Miss Yaoqin may not be over."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the oil shop. Zhu Zhong looked up and saw a big man with a crooked head standing in front of the door. His face was very childish, which made him look very funny with his eight-foot height.

Zhu Zhong, however, was good-tempered and didn't mean to tease him at all. He simply said, "Dear guest, are you looking for oil?"

This person was Li Ming. He was quite interested in the story he heard from Lei Dongzi. As for whether it was Leiyin Temple or not, or whether the Leiyin Mantra was of great benefit to his cultivation and supernatural powers, these were not important. The main thing was to come and see if this person was a lovesick man.

Of course, Zeng Yushu and Zhang Anlei had to be brought in to make some plans. Li Ming looked up and saw that although Zhu Chong was dressed simply, he was very neat and tidy. His appearance was also excellent, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, heroic and handsome. He was truly a man of talent, and his demeanor was extraordinary, not like a peddler. It was a pity that he had a poor family background.

Li Ming didn't know that when Hua Gu saw his sincerity, she taught him that Miss Yaoqin always associated with talented men and taught him to pay more attention to the appearance of young men. Zhu Chong would go to see them whenever he had time and then learn from them in front of the mirror, which is why he had such good manners.

Li Ming replied, "I'm not buying oil. I came to see who monopolized the most beautiful woman last night."

Hearing the words "monopolize the most beautiful girl," Zhu Zhong's expression changed slightly, as if he was embarrassed and angry, but he lowered his voice and said, "I just went to great lengths to see Miss Yaoqin. How can that be considered monopolization? She's right here, did you see her?"

At this time, Lei Dongzi stepped in and looked the shop up and down. Zhu Zhong didn't recognize Li Ming, but he knew Lei Dongzi's face. His heart tightened and he thought to himself, "Could it be that he was furious because he couldn't get close to Miss Yaoqin last night, and now he's looking for me to vent his anger? Well, even if it means giving him a few punches and kicks to vent his anger, I just hope he doesn't take his anger out on Miss Yaoqin. I heard yesterday that this Taoist is a disciple of some mountain, and he has a very powerful background!"

Zhu Zhong thought about this and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master Taoist, what can I do for you?"

Lei Dongzi just smiled and said, "Oil seller, were you looking back at the warm jade and fragrant flowers last night?" Zhu Zhong shook his head and said, "We just drank and talked happily, and slept together."

"Oh, from what you said, you seem to be very gentle with women!" Lei Dongzi slowly took two steps forward with a teasing look on his face.

Zhu Chong saw that the Taoist's attitude was gentle, unlike last night, and he felt relieved. When he heard Lei Dongzi's words, his face turned slightly red.

Monk Shannian took two steps forward, raised one hand, and said, "Brother Dao, what are you doing here?"

Lei Dongzi smiled and said, "It's to bring the two together."

When Zhu Zhong heard this, he pricked up his ears and said in surprise: "Master, you..."

Lei Dongzi raised his eyebrows and said, "It has nothing to do with you. I just acted on impulse. Why didn't I succeed last night? Tell me the whole story!"

Zhu Zhong sighed, but at this moment he knew that if what Lei Dongzi said was true, then he really had a noble person to help him, so he simply told him everything.

The two of them talked at night last night. Zhu Chong and Yaoqin had a midnight encounter before. That night, Miss Yaoqin drank too much and fell into a deep sleep. She felt uncomfortable in the middle of the night, but Zhu Chong was a good family man who knew the feelings of others and did not treat her rudely. Instead, he served her well. Yaoqin used to receive either the young master of this family or the rich man of that family, but no one had ever been so warm and considerate to her.

Even if he is a modest young man, he is still so rude after the foreplay of appreciating music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Stripping off the shell of the so-called famous prostitute, Yaoqin is just an ordinary woman. There is a class difference between the two and they are not the same.

It's a pity that Yaoqin is still young after all. At this moment, she is still immersed in the pursuit of her by the crowd. She feels that she has some capital to choose. She wants to find a man with both talent and beauty and a wealthy family before she is willing to marry him.

As for this Zhu Zhong, Yaoqin did have some good feelings towards him, but it was only good feelings. When they met again last night, Yaoqin played music, sang and danced, which really opened Zhu Zhong's eyes and made him realize that the title of the most beautiful courtesan was well-deserved.

The two of them expressed their true feelings over the candlelight and wine, but Zhu Zhong knew that he was just a small oil shop owner, and Yao Qin could not live a poor life, so they just put all their feelings into the wine.

After hearing this, Lei Dongzi said to Shan Nian with a smug look on his face, "Little monk, let me tell you, this Miss Yaoqin has lofty ambitions, and the phoenix only lands on the sycamore tree. I'm afraid she doesn't like Zhu Chong."

Shannian didn't refute anything, but just sighed and said, "People in the world always lose their way. It's difficult, difficult!"

"What's so difficult? It's not difficult as long as I'm here!"

Lei Dongzi patted his chest and laughed, "Just look at my methods!"
