Chapter 411 Family 2
The patriarch raised his lips slightly on his calm face and said lightly:
"There is only a trade-off in this matter. There is no such thing as having both. Just remember that you are a descendant of the Wang family. The clan will not give up on you."
Grandfather added, "Why not let the child tell us what she thinks!"
The patriarch did not stop him, but stopped and looked at Wang Jinyi. Everyone in the room focused their eyes on her.
Wang Jinyi stood up and walked to the clan leader's table, raised his hand and dipped it in the tea to write: Avoid disaster, become a monk, give up the thoughts, and don't be a burden.
The clan leader, clan members, and grandfather all crowded over and looked at the table where the tea had not yet evaporated.
The grandfather murmured, "If this is true, my child, you will suffer!"
"Grandfather's solution is just a temporary measure. Everything has its upside and downside."
The grandfather held his granddaughter, unable to conceal the pain on his face, almost crying.
The old man took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and gently wiped his granddaughter's hands that were dipped in tea. He then gently patted the child's head. The clan leader and the head of the clan were both there, so the grandfather didn't say much...
Wang Jinyi clutched the handkerchief, looked up at her grandfather, and nodded vigorously, as if to say, Grandfather, I can do it, don't worry, her eyes were full of stubbornness.
I was afraid that the tribe members didn’t understand. Ding Yi and Ding Er outside the door were sent by the Eastern Palace to look after me, so I reminded them:
"The two guards at the door were sent by Mr. Lu Ziyou, the Prince's aide. There are 10 people in total."
At this point, everyone in the room understood why the child didn't speak, but wrote a few words on the tea table. He was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall...
After a moment of silence, the clan leader suddenly asked, "What is your impression of Wenbin?"
The grandfather looked at the clan leader in astonishment, then at his granddaughter. Wang Jinyi's heart tightened. So Wang Wenbin was his next home? What a pity. In his previous life, he had made a vow to "live and die with you". Whether it was Wang Wenbin, Zhao Wenbin, or even the astronomical soldiers, he would probably have to take a back seat.
She lowered her eyes to hide the ripples in her eyes, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Thank you, grandfather, thank you, clan leader. People often say: All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. Elders, do you think I understand it correctly?"
The room was dead silent as the candlelight flickered. Grandfather stared out the window with a complicated expression.
The clan leader stood with his hands behind his back, slowly lowered his head, and often sighed before turning around, "My child, it's because I, the clan leader, am incompetent and unable to protect you. You've been wronged... The Wang family will never let you take risks alone."
The clan leader stroked the white jade clan emblem on his waist, looking into the distance with a cold gaze, "Do you have any plans?"
Wang Jinyi stepped forward and dipped his finger in tea and wrote: Luoxia Temple, someone has left.
After reading these words, several elders looked up and down at the little girl in front of them. The child was not even as tall as their chests, but she was already more promising than an ordinary adult.
Under the supervision of 10 people, he could still send his own people out to find a way out for himself. What kind of child is this!
The cold wind blew against the wooden windows. The candlelight on the desk flickered. Suddenly, the candlelight burst into sparks, casting eerie shadows on everyone's faces.
The patriarch broke the suffocating silence and made the final decision.
"The rest of the matters will be taken care of by the clan, and you will not be wronged. It's just a pity that your knowledge and..."
Wang Jinyi completed the words he didn't finish in her heart. What the patriarch wanted to say was: It's a pity for your youth.
Maybe so. If I can’t find Chen Zhiyuan in this lifetime, it will not only be a pity for my youth, but also for my entire life!
The grandfather's eyes were full of worry. It was not convenient for him to say everything now, so he could only look at his granddaughter in a daze with silent concern.
This time the room was quiet for a while, and the clan leader stood up first, "In that case, we'll leave first. Second Miss Xunyang, take care!"
The group did not exchange many pleasantries when they arrived, and simply said goodbye before leaving. Grandfather walked to the end, stroked the top of Wang Jinyi's head, bowed his head and said softly:
"You need to be careful with Sister Feng and Sister Feng. They may also be from the Eastern Palace."
Wang Jinyi had been listening attentively, but when she heard this, she quickly turned her head to see her grandfather nodding. She almost cried out in surprise, and it was still short.
"Ah?"
Although the voice was not loud, it still caused the clansmen who were leaving to look back. Wang Jinyi smiled apologetically, took his grandfather's hand and walked him out of the yard.
It gets dark early in winter. Before I had dinner, the sky was gradually getting dark.
The figures of the tribesmen gradually moved away and slowly blurred into black dots. Wang Jinyi felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. Now that he had made the decision, he was afraid that he would have to stay in the temple for some time. He had no say on how long it would take. It would all depend on when the struggle for imperial power ended.
"Miss, let's go back quickly, otherwise the canteen will be closed and we won't be able to have dinner tonight!"
Zhu Yu's words were a kind reminder and were also meant to divert the young lady's emotions, but Wang Jinyi was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran to the entrance of the mountain, staring at the steps extending to the bottom of the mountain, lost in thought for a long time.
This is your loved one, running around for your safety without eating or drinking...
Three days later, Wanfo Hall.
Wang Jinyi went out holding the scriptures she had offered, and found that Ding Yi and Ding Er, who usually guarded the steps, were gone, and Yuqing's hand that was supporting her suddenly turned into a pull back.
"Yuqing?"
"Miss, don't ask, just follow me!"
"Zhu Yu, burn the scriptures slowly and wait for the young lady here."
Regardless of whether Zhu Yu understood or not, Yuqing stuffed all the Buddhist scriptures that Wang Jinyi had copied in her arms into Zhu Yu's arms, and then took the young lady back to the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
We walked through the main hall, around the Buddha statue and the altar, and after a few turns we entered a large hall.
Facing the gate is a statue of Venerable Vinaya-Khara, one of the ten great disciples of Sakyamuni, and surrounded by deities, heavenly kings, strong men, and local temple dwellers.
Under the Buddha statue, the abbot held Buddhist beads and bowed his head to recite scriptures.
There are two people standing on each side. On the right are the clan leader and grandfather, on the left is a middle-aged nun, and behind her is a little nun about 10 years old, holding a tray in her hands.
Wang Jinyi understood immediately that this was the ordination hall. He was really going to receive the ordination and shave his head!
I had already thought about it before, that becoming a monk without being manipulated is the best solution, but when it comes to actually becoming a monk, I feel a little timid and sad.
This wonderful time and this fascinating life are about to be trapped in the temple, and it is actually my own will. Oh! It is helpless to think about it.
She subconsciously shook her head with a sad look on her face, but walked firmly towards the cushion placed in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall and knelt down.
I thought to myself: Today, I want to get rid of the internal strife in the royal family and remain neutral without taking sides.
It also laid the groundwork for his continued search for Chen Zhiyuan.
At least he had the perfect shield of becoming a monk in the temple, and no one would be willing to introduce him to a matchmaker for a while.
I will have another 10 or 8 years of peace and quiet to look for Chen Zhiyuan...
What should I do if the struggle for imperial power is over but I haven't found Chen Zhiyuan yet?
