When Yueyao was studying the scriptures, she asked Ru Kong, "Master, I've heard that the winter plum blossoms at Zhaohua Temple are especially beautiful when they bloom. Master, I wonder if I could go and see them?"
Ru Kong shook his head, "That area has been sealed off, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter." Many places on the mountain are guarded and people aren't permitted to come and go freely.
Yueyao felt somewhat disappointed, "I've been troubling Teacher this whole time." Then she handed over a five hundred taels silver note, "Teacher, this is for the temple to buy incense oil." Yueyao knew that five hundred taels wasn't much for Zhaohua Temple, but it also represented my heartfelt sentiment.
After three consecutive sunny days, the snow on the ground had completely melted. Last time it was light snow, but if it were to snow heavily, it wouldn't melt in less than ten or eight days, and by then, we might not be able to return home for the New Year.
