Chapter 413 Family 4
Wang Jinyi reached out and gently covered Zhu Yu's mouth, pulled her closer, and whispered:
"Don't talk nonsense. I took this step because I like Buddhism."
"Miss, do the Second Master and Madam know? Can the Old Master and Madam agree? Besides..."
She raised her hand to stop the questioning, but did not answer. She let go and looked at the ice flowers gradually condensing on the window frame, and a layer of ice also formed in her heart.
It's been almost seven years! It's been almost seven years since I came to this world, and I've been looking for Chen Zhiyuan for seven years. In the last moment of my previous life, he turned around and hugged me tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
Where on earth are you!
This step was not entirely for the sake of the Wang family, but also to avoid being passive in marriage. After all, this was an era where parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words were the final word. Girls had no autonomy in marriage.
Now that I have entered Luoxia Temple, from a broad perspective, I have no inclination and will not side with any faction of the royal family; selfishly speaking, I have fought for the right to marry independently and also freed up time to concentrate on finding Chen Zhiyuan...
Yuqing coughed lightly and pushed the thing in his hand towards the young lady.
"Miss, this is given to you by the clan. Let me give it to you for safekeeping."
After saying that, he placed a string of Buddhist beads in the young lady's hand and said, "We left in such a hurry just now that Master Huijing didn't have time to teach you the instruments."
Wang Jinyi unconsciously rubbed the newly acquired Buddhist beads with his fingertips, casually put them on his wrist, and unfolded a stack of documents given to him by the tribe.
It turned out to be the land deed and government certificate for buying Luoxia Mountain. The most thoughtful thing was that in the owner column it was written - Wang Jinyi, Buddhist name Jingyi.
There are five consecutive mountains, this huge project is worth fifty thousand taels!
Wang Jinyi looked through the official deed and his eyes gradually blurred. These were his relatives and clan members. They would do anything for you, and of course, they would also save the family at the same time.
Come to think of it, if people don't want to spend the money, they just have to give up on you. Even if the East Palace or any prince wants to use you as a pawn, if the Wang clan ignores you, you will become a useless pawn!
Of course, you will become dead!
But the Wang family valued her so much that Wang Jinyi felt guilty, guilty that her thoughts were impure.
The loneliness in my heart and my gratitude towards my loved ones are like a fire, which burns the dry wood of longing.
"My parents are in the capital, and it must be cold now. I wonder if my family in Xunyang City are doing well?"
Xunyang Academy in Xunyang City.
After Wang Jinyi separated from the patriarch of the Wang family, his grandfather, whom he missed so much, went straight to Xunyang Academy. He sat alone in loneliness for a long time before he asked someone to find his third son.
When Wang Shuyan arrived, he saw his father holding the wolf-hair brush in a daze, with the ink spreading out on the rice paper into a ball of ink. He took the brush off and threw it into the brush washer, calling out softly, "Father..."
“She has shaved her head.”
The old man had not yet recovered from seeing his granddaughter shave her head and leave the house, and he repeated it again with a heavy heart,
"Jin'er has become a monk!"
Wang Shuyan heard his father's words before he sat down. He didn't react at first. When his father repeated it, he asked back:
"What? How could that be? Isn't Jin'er in the Pure Land Temple? That's a temple, and they don't accept girls..."
He stopped talking before he finished. Seeing his father looking at him solemnly, he asked again:
"Did something happen to father? Wasn't Jin'er trapped in the Pure Land Temple by the people from the East Palace?"
"That child is thinking far ahead. Under the noses of the East Palace people, he contacted the people sent by your second brother to look after him, and even found a remote nunnery ten miles away from the Pure Land Temple."
The old man stopped, let out a long "Ai——" and stopped talking.
Wang Shuyan couldn't wait for the next words, so he asked tentatively:
"Will the people in the East Palace agree to her becoming a nun?"
“I told you before, your niece is a smart little girl, but she is not simple.
As soon as she arrived at the Pure Land Temple, she sent her own people out to check on her own business, paralyze the guards of the Eastern Palace, and sent people to look for a nunnery around the Pure Land Temple.
She chose the remote and small Luoxia Temple herself, and even sent someone to Luoxia Temple to investigate the situation..."
Wang Shuyan murmured to himself, "Jin'er is so calculating."
"Yes! There was a plot. She was included in it..."
"Father, the people in the East Palace are watching her. How can she become a nun if she can't leave the Pure Land Temple?!"
"She's more thoughtful than you think..."
The scene of Wang Jinyi's tonsure became more vivid in his father's narration. Wang Shuyan sighed,
"This child is really thoughtful. I am not as good as her..."
"Yes, it's a pity that Jin'er was born a girl. If she were a boy, she would have accomplished great things!"
"Father, Jin'er has accomplished a lot now. Just take the library as an example... Father, are you really going to abandon Jin'er? Let her live out her life in seclusion?"
"Jin'er herself said that she could either become a nun or return home. It was only after she said that that I agreed to let her become a nun. That's why the clan leader made up his mind to help her get through this disaster."
"The clan leader is also there? Does that mean this is the clan's decision?!"
"In order to convince Master Huijing of Luoxia Temple, the clan invested a lot of money to buy Luoxia Mountain, and the land deeds and documents were all in Jin'er's name."
The study fell into dead silence, with only the crackling of charcoal in the copper stove. Wang Shuyan looked at the new white hair on his father's temples and suddenly said:
"You don't have to worry too much. I'm sure Jin'er has thought of everything for herself. This is probably the best arrangement!"
While comforting his father, Wang Shuyan's heart was twisted into thorns.
In order not to bring trouble to the family, the niece would rather become a nun. She should be more careful of suspicious people.
Wang Shuyan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought of Chen Sanlang who had been hanging around the Wang family.
This person is indeed suspicious. It is said that he first appeared in front of Wen Bai, then got to know the family's groom, Sun Wei, and later broke into the Wang family's business. Now he is approaching Wang intentionally or unintentionally. It is hard to say that he has no purpose.
But what is the purpose?
Wang Shuyan was in a daze when he thought about this, and was brought back to his senses by his father's pat.
"Father, what did you just say?"
"What's wrong? Are you suddenly distracted?"
Neither the father nor the son noticed that it was getting late, and only when the academy bell rang did they hurriedly send Wang Shuyan back to the classroom.
In the next few days, Wang Shuyan would carefully observe the man named Chen Sanlang every time after class. Surprisingly, that man seemed to be observing him intentionally and even deliberately created opportunities for encounters...
It turned out that we would pass each other on the way to the toilet, then nod and smile, and greet each other slowly.
Now in the cafeteria and at the entrance of the academy, everyone is trying hard to meet him. Wang Shuyan began to be distracted in class. What the teacher said fell on deaf ears. He had a sense of crisis.
I have to be more alert. I can't fail to win over my niece and fall into someone else's trap. Yes! I have to warn the rest of the family too!
