53. Old things

Lu Wan looked at the box in Silence's hand in surprise, and then looked at Silence with a calm face, and decisively shook his head and refused: "Since it is something that Grandpa left with you, why did you give it to me again?" ”

And after so many years, she hadn't heard her father say that the sudden appearance of such a box made people have to be suspicious, not to mention that there were rumors about the Shen family's treasure house in the outside world! She thought the same as Wei Ji, her grandfather should not leave such a disaster for the Shen family, but what about this box?

She has always felt that Shanwu's identity in Kaiyuan Temple is a bit special, and the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, including the prince, are extremely scruples about Shanwu, and no one has ever dared to trespass in his Zen room. Moreover, the status of Kaiyuan Temple in this dynasty is extremely special, one side is connected to the royal family, and the other side is open to the people. Since my grandfather left things to Enlightenment, he must have something to consider!

Since my grandfather was able to pour the power of the Shen family into the supreme position of the current saint, it was enough to show the power of the Shen family. But the Ninety-Five Emperor is destined to be ruthless, the Shen family business is so big, I am afraid that the palace has been staring at it, if nothing else, just this family business falling into the hands of people with ulterior motives is a potential threat to the royal family! It's impossible for the royal people not to stare at it!

Moreover, the saint is getting older today, several princes have already reached adulthood, the dark tide in the court is surging, and the sacred heart is not clear, so it is most taboo to act rashly at this time. No matter what's in the box, the old monk can keep it, that's the old monk's ability! But that doesn't mean she can take it! If she takes it, it's woe!

"It's a few old things, your grandfather said he wanted to leave them to someone who was destined." As if he didn't see the speculation and suspicion in Lu Wan's eyes, he explained in a gentle tone, "You and your grandfather are both outliers in this world, he has been gone for more than ten years, so these things will be left to you, which can be regarded as a thought." ”

After pausing for a moment, seeing that Lu Wan hesitated and didn't answer, Silence Wufang shook his head and smiled, put the box on the kang table, poured Lu Wan a cup of tea again, and persuaded without raising his head: "You are too wary, your grandfather was more open than you back then, and he was able to let it go." Put it below, you can have no desires, no wants, no constraints. ”

Lu Wan looked at Lonely Wu in a daze, she only felt weird in her heart, she came to Kaiyuan Temple I don't know how many times, she almost never heard Lonely Wu mention her grandfather, if it wasn't for her father Lu Chenghui mentioning it, she didn't know that Lonely Wu and her grandfather were all old friends. Now listening to the old monk say this, it is obvious that he has a good relationship with his grandfather.

He was able to persuade her like this mostly for the sake of her grandfather. But what did he mean by that? She and her grandfather are both outliers in this world? Can he really see that? Or is it just a common assessment?

If he could really see where she came from, what about Grandpa? There are geniuses in any era, and she has never doubted the old man's ability, but if what Silence said is true, then the old man's origin back then is only afraid that there are also strange things!

Thinking about it this way, the history of the Shen family is indeed a bit weird. Counting it, when the Shen family rose in the south, the old man was in his thirties. It stands to reason that a business wizard like the old man should not be obscure in his early years, but before the old man was thirty years old, there were very few rumors about the Shen family, and most of them were a bit of a legend.

And the old man only has one daughter from her mother! It's still an old woman! But in this world, it is a big deal to have children and inherit the lineage, and it is the hope of the older generation that the son inherits the father's business. The old man was in the prime of life, and the Shen family had wealth, even if he used some shady methods, he would not have a son!

She has never seen the old man, and there are too many things to judge! The world's evaluation of the Shen family is envious and hateful, and the evaluation of the old man is mixed, but without exception, they are all honest and the old man is unpredictable and very human. But the old man later withdrew it too quickly, and the huge wealth of the Shen family passed by in front of the eyes of the sect like a mirage, so that in the eyes of outsiders, the Shen family's qiē was full of unpredictable temptation - just like the contents of that box were to her now!

Lu Wan only felt that her heart was pounding, and a layer of fine sweat appeared in her palms. She had too many guesses in her mind, and the answers to those guesses might be in the box at Lagenta's hand, tempting her to reach for them all the time.

After a long time, Lu Wan restrained the impulse in his heart, slowly exhaled, and shook his head towards Silence: "Since this box of grandfather has been placed here with you, it is better for you to keep it." After a pause, he added in a low voice, "This thing is a relic of the old man, it is too conspicuous, and it will be a disaster for me to hold it." ”

Shanwu put down the teapot and looked at Lu Wan with a stunned face, his eyes were gentle with a little smile, and he didn't persuade anymore, nodded and smiled: "Okay, let this box go into the ground with me." ”

The weirdness in Lu Wan's heart was even worse, but she couldn't tell where the weirdness was, watching Silent Wu take the box, sit for a while, Fang withdrew from the meditation room, bypassed the Guanyin Temple, and walked out of Kaiyuan Temple, and ordered the green branches to drive the carriage back to the Lu Mansion directly, and went straight to the Weinan Courtyard.

Lu Chenghui had just come back from outside, and when he caught a glimpse of his daughter's face was not quite right, Fang waved his hand at the chief steward Lai, motioned for the little servant who was waiting in the study to withdraw, entered the room and untied his cloak, frowned at his daughter and asked, "What's wrong?" I've never seen you so impatient, what did the master say to you? ”

Lu Wan exhaled slowly, shook her head at her father, calmed down the ups and downs in her heart, and explained thoughtfully: "The master took a box to me, saying that it was my grandfather's old things, and I confiscated it." I always felt that the master was weird, but I couldn't talk about it, so I didn't feel very at ease. ”

Lu Chenghui listened intently to his daughter's words, motioned for his daughter to sit down, his eyes fell on Lu Wan's face gently, he felt sorry for his daughter, and said softly: "You girl is too worried, and when she encounters the affairs of the Shen family, she will be a soldier." Don't worry, it's okay, I know that box, and the saint also saw it back then, and it doesn't matter much, it's all your grandfather's joke back then. Since the master gave it to you, it doesn't hurt you to take it. ”

Lu Wan calmed down, but the doubts and speculations in his heart were not easy to tell Lu Chenghui, so he had to nod and ask again: "So the master's relationship with the foreign bus is not shallow." I remember my father said that the master and my grandfather were old friends. But the master looks like he is in his early sixties, at most seventy years old, so when my grandfather met the master, wasn't he only in his twenties, less than thirty? He was a master at that time? ”

"Master in his early sixties?" Lu Chenghui glanced at his daughter meaningfully, poured a cup of tea slowly, sighed inaudibly in Lu Wan's surprised gaze, and his tone was a little strange with emotion, "I only heard your grandfather talk about the master, so you can listen to it." He was the national teacher of the previous dynasty, and after Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty ascended the throne, he suddenly invited himself to become a monk and entered the Kaiyuan Temple, and the master was a monk halfway, so he was not a real Buddhist disciple. Have you ever been to the master's meditation room, and don't you think the objects there are different from other places? ”

"Front?" Lu Wan gasped, Emperor Wen was the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and he reigned for nearly twenty years, while this dynasty has been founded for nearly a hundred years. The old monk is the national teacher when Emperor Wen ascends the throne, so he must be at least a few dozen years old, so calculated, the old monk is at least one hundred and fifty or sixty years old!
