Chapter 10: The Guest Takes His Pleasure (Part II)

Recently, many things have happened in Zhufu, which makes people feel headaches, and they have to worship Buddha and burn incense every day to relieve stress. It's just that it's not enough to worship the Buddha and petition, the Zhu family's house has always been difficult in terms of heirs, and the old man Zhu has taken countless concubines, and there are only two sons under his knees, and when it comes to the generation of the eldest lord Zhu Feng, the situation seems to have become more difficult.

On the second side of the room, after the Chai family passed the door, they gave birth to two sons to the second master Zhu Jun, but in the long room, now only the eldest grandson Zhu Jintang is supporting him...... This is undoubtedly the old lady's biggest concern at the moment.

After just a moment's effort, Old Madam Zhu's mind turned a few times, and she couldn't help but glance at Shen Yuechen again.

Shen Yuechen was not a person who talked a lot, but now she didn't know what to say in the face of the strange old lady Zhu, so she only picked up the tea bowl on the table before lifting the tea lid, and a warm and fresh aroma came out.

Shen Yuechen looked down at the tea bowl, and saw that the tea soup in the bowl was light, like jasper, and said silently in his heart: "Lushan Yunwu is really a rich family." ”

Such a good tea is naturally worth praising it.

Shen Yuechen took a sip of tea gently, raised her head and praised with a smile: "The color and fragrance are finer than orchids." The clouds and mist of Lushan really live up to its name. ”

She is not proficient in the Book of Tea, but she is very familiar with Yunwu Tea.

In the past, when I was in Jingyuean, Master Jingyun also liked to drink this kind of tea the most. A purple sand teapot, two coarse porcelain tea bowls, wisps of fragrance, curling up, gradually blurring the master's eyes as clear as spring water.

The Buddhist hall is simple, practicing calligraphy in winter is the most frozen hands, a cup of hot tea can warm the tea, but also warm the heart, but at that time, she didn't know how expensive this cup of tea was.

Sure enough, hearing that Shen Yuechen knew this tea, Mrs. Zhu was slightly surprised, she had heard that her situation in the Shen family had not been satisfactory, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to have the opportunity to see such a superb quality.

Chai Shi was also slightly stunned, and then echoed with a smile: "Well, the girl's tongue is good." This cloud tea is the favorite of the ancestors, and the girl is blessed today. ”

Tea is good tea, but it doesn't taste like it used to be.

Shen Yuechen knew that she didn't come here to drink tea, and Mrs. Zhu would not invite herself to come over for tea for no reason, there must be other meanings in this. Although, she vaguely guessed a few points, she hoped that she guessed wrong.

After a while, a maid brought a half-old hand-copied scripture book and handed it to Mrs. Zhu.

Shen Yuechen's eyes were sharp, and she recognized her handwriting at a glance.

Mrs. Zhu flipped through a few pages and asked lightly: "I heard that the girl has been associated with Buddhism since she was a child, and she has lived in the temple for a long time to recuperate. ”

To be honest, from the first time she saw Shen Yuechen's handwriting, she had this question in her heart.

Shen Yuechen smiled a little embarrassedly. "I practiced when I was a child and followed the masters to make merits. After practicing for a long time, practice makes perfect. ”

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and water drops and stones are not a day's work." Being able to write such a good hand must be the result of hard work. ”

Chai also echoed: "Yes, our sister Ying has been learning calligraphy for several years, and the words written by Miss Shen can't be compared at all, it's too far behind." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she couldn't stand their praise and was shy.

Then, the old lady took off a string of ebony Buddhist beads from her wrist, looked at Shen Yuechen and said, "Today is the first time we meet, and I, as an elder, should be ready to write a meeting gift." This string of Buddhist beads is the Dharma blessing of Master Yuanyi of Ciyun Temple, which has been enshrined in the Buddha shrine for 7749 days, and has been recited a thousand times of the Diamond Sutra. Although it doesn't look very eye-catching, it is a mascot that can drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings. Our grandparents and grandchildren are also considered to be in love, so I will give this to you as a greeting gift. ”

Shen Yuechen's heart tightened when he heard this, he was a little flattered and a little uneasy, and hurriedly got up and said, "Old lady, such a valuable thing, Yuechen really doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Old Madam Zhu smiled lightly, put on the bracelet for Shen Yuechen with her own hands, and said, "It's not expensive or not." The right things for the right people, you don't have to feel burdened. ”

The old lady's palm was warm and powerful, Shen Yuechen hesitated slightly, and then bowed and thanked: "Yuechen thanks the old lady for the reward!" ”

Chai Shi looked at the old lady, and then at Shen Yuechen, a smile appeared on his lips, and his smile was full of peace of mind and a little pride.

This ebony Buddha bead is a rare thing that the ancestor asked for at the cost of a thousand gold, and he never left his hand, and now it is easily given to Shen Yuechen, which is already a recognition of her.

If the eldest lady Li Shi saw the Buddha beads in her hand, it is estimated that she would be so angry that her face would turn pale...... The future head of the Zhu family, the wife of Zhu Jintang's stepfamily, would be such a prosaic and ominous person...... The number of gas in the big house, I'm afraid it's really coming to an end.

Thinking of this, Chai couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and couldn't wait to see Li's angry appearance.

Later, Mrs. Zhu chatted with her about some short gossip in the family, and her attitude was cordial, not at all like an elder who had just met.

Although it was gossip, Shen Yuechen still replied cautiously, for fear that he would say the wrong thing carelessly.

Whether in modern or ancient times, dealing with the world, speaking and doing things require skill and proportion.

In her previous life, Shen Yuechen put too much energy into reading exams, and she didn't understand human feelings, so she suffered a lot of losses. In this life, when she clearly understood how difficult her situation was, she realized that she had to be very careful in everything she said and did.

When it was close to lunch, Mrs. Zhu suddenly proposed to go to the flower banquet to meet everyone, and Chai and Shen Yuechen also returned to Changchun Garden with her. It's just that it's different from when I came, not on foot, but in a soft sedan chair.

Just now, Chai took Shen Yuechen to take a shortcut, and this time he sat in a sedan chair, saving his strength and taking a longer time. At this time, in Changchun Garden, the eldest lady of the Zhu family, Li Shi, was tired of coping, and those came one after another, constantly stammering and currying favor.

When Mrs. Zhu suddenly appeared in the garden, everyone's expressions changed.

Shen Yuechen stood beside the old lady, and had to meet those eyes full of envy and jealousy, she was very nervous and helpless, and quietly hid the Buddha beads in her sleeve.

Li Shi's eyebrows moved, looked at Shen Yuechen's eyes, and took a closer look. His expression seemed calm as usual, but there was an irrepressible resentment in his eyes.
