The monastery was a place of tranquility, particularly this one where they worshipped the emperor's stand-in Buddha, it naturally had a more aloof atmosphere than other places.
Despite the sweeping monk welcoming Jiang Yi with a smile, he didn't go overboard with his enthusiasm, merely leading them politely inside.
"Father Faming, I've come this time to pray for my parents at home. I'll return after offering incense. You can go about your own business, there is no need to entertain us."
Father Faming put his hands together in prayer: "As you wish."
Watching the young monk's retreating figure, Jiang Ning lifted the veil from her hat and smiled, "I thought you were going to reward him with a banknote."
Jiang Yi played with his fan, smiling cheerfully, "Of course rewards should be given, but not in this way. This is a Buddhist holy place, not the outside world. Everything shouldn't be too vulgar."
"Hypocrite."
