Chapter 53: Reincarnation of the Savior
Hu Wan's body trembled uncontrollably, and the handkerchief that was originally twisted in her hands also made her fingers hurt.
Zhou Chang regained control of his body, and while forcing himself to calm Hu Wan, he responded: "I respect both Buddhism and Taoism. It doesn't matter whether it is Buddhism or Taoism. As long as you believe in it devoutly, you will be blessed."
Zhou Chang already knew what Hu Wan was worried about.
What you fear is bound to happen. It just took us a few words, and in such a secluded place, and what a coincidence, I ran into this gossipy woman.
Madam Chu's eyes turned to Shuchen again: "Master Shuchen is really as famous as his reputation says. He is handsome and well-mannered. I believe he must be a handsome scholar at home. How come such a person has never been heard of in Jindu City before? May I ask, which prefecture is the master's family from?"
Shu Chen did not answer directly: "Amitabha, I have long since given up the secular world, so how can I still have a secular name?"
"The master's surname is not Shi, right? It's the same surname as my best friend's mother's family." Mrs. Chu did not hide her guess and directly expressed it.
Mrs. Chu with donkey lips definitely didn't have those thick lips for nothing. She was born to be a gossip. Unfortunately, it was too late when Hu Wan found out.
Since Hu Wan was forced to marry the Minister of Justice Pei Li more than ten years ago, she has had to work hard to learn how to be a lady.
At a banquet, he met Mrs. Chu.
Hu Wan came from a poor family and had no friends in the circle of noble ladies. Mrs. Chu was eloquent and friendly, and the two were of similar age, so after a few interactions they became close friends.
Hu Wan married Pei Li, who was one year older than her father. Pei Li's original wife left behind a pair of children who were about the same age as Hu Wan. After marriage, she was extremely depressed. Since the two of them became best friends, she told Mrs. Chu about her depression and the difficulties she encountered in living in Pei's house, asking her to help her make a decision.
At the beginning, Mrs. Chu did her best to help Hu Wan with ideas and suggestions, but as time went on, Hu Wan gradually discovered that what happened to the Minister of Justice spread like wildfire, and in the circle of noble ladies, many people privately used it as a topic of conversation.
She had no close friends with anyone else and only had Madam Chu as her best friend, so she could easily tell who leaked some things.
Therefore, Hu Wan distanced herself from Mrs. Chu intentionally or unintentionally.
The so-called villain is disrespectful when he is close and resentful when he is far away.
Doing so was not only too late, but also aroused Mrs. Chu's resentment.
After Mrs. Chu noticed Hu Wan's estrangement, she acted calm on the surface and even took the initiative to get closer to her. However, she became even more aggressive behind the scenes, secretly inquiring about Hu Wan's various privacy matters and then spreading the news to the circle of noble ladies in the imperial city.
Hu Wan had never mentioned that past to Mrs. Chu, but her previous conversation inevitably revealed some of her melancholy and memories of the past.
Mrs. Chu was born with the ability to be a gossip. She was sensitive and insightful, and could find out things from many sources. As a result, she always managed to get a glimpse of things.
Hu Wan didn't dare to offend Mrs. Chu openly, so the gossipy woman tried to test her several times. Although Hu Wan always evaded the question, the rumor still spread.
Hu Wan tried every possible means to guard against this, and now she regretted having trusted the wrong person.
Zhou Chang didn't want to continue to argue with the gossipy woman, but he also wanted to be on guard against her gossiping about this matter in the future: "Master Shuchen, since you don't have time, I'll go to Master Yuanjue for blessings later, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Tsk tsk, the two of you standing together really look..." Madam Chu smiled like two incense sticks, "No, you two were having a good conversation, but I suddenly showed up and disturbed their interest."
Zhou Chang then realized that Hu Wan had made a wrong response in a hurry and actually moved closer to the "suspect". He quickly and calmly moved away and gave an excuse: "Mrs. Chu misunderstood. It's not true. I'm just asking Master Shuchen if you can bless me with a jade pendant to keep me safe."
"Which jade pendant?" Madam Chu immediately spoke in a high tone, "None of your jade pendants are suitable for blessing. Moreover, if you don't offer three thousand or five thousand taels of incense once to bless this Dafu Temple, I'm afraid it won't work."
She made friends with Hu Wan for no other reason than to feel superior to her.
"No matter how valuable the jade pendant is, as long as it can obtain the Buddha's boundless magical powers, it is good." Zhou Chang felt disgusted, but he was not as afraid as Hu Wan. In a moment of impulse, his attitude suddenly changed.
"Really? Then will the Buddha bless lovers to renew their love?" Madam Chu was least afraid of this. She became even more calm and sarcastic. "I heard that Lord Pei has been very busy recently and rarely comes home. I didn't expect that Madam Pei would have the leisure to wander around the backyard of Dafu Temple. I wonder what's the real reason?"
Such gossipers should go to the hell of tongue-pulling.
If Zhou Chang were to follow his temper, he would have wanted to slap her twice so that she would be speechless, but considering Hu Wan's future, he couldn't turn against her.
"Mrs. Chu really cares too much about me. I have been busy these days because my grandmother is ill and I have been taking care of her at home. Now I have to come here to burn incense and pray for my grandmother." Zhou Chang had to hold back his anger and changed his tone to be humble.
"Really?" Mrs. Chu didn't believe it at all, and looked at Shuchen with her bright little eyes.
Shu Chen didn't raise his eyelids, but put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, since the two donors are old friends, I will stay with you for a while. I have something else to do, so I will take my leave now."
"Why did you leave as soon as I arrived? You two were having a nice chat." Mrs. Chu just kept talking about her own gossip regardless of the occasion or place, and didn't believe Shu Chen's words at all.
Zhou Chang was about to speak up to help, but then he felt something was wrong. He was in a dilemma when suddenly a clear voice came from behind him: "Mrs. Pei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
That voice was already familiar.
When she turned around, even though it was blurry, I could still recognize her.
Yuan Qi was wearing a silver dress that sparkled brightly. She was standing under a peach tree beside the corridor and greeting this side.
Yuan Qi arrived gracefully, followed by He Xi. He did not even look at Madam Chu, but only nodded slightly to Shu Chen, and then looked at Zhou Chang: "That's right, Madam Pei, this is the Master Shu Chen I want to introduce to you. My jade pendant was blessed by him."
Yuan Qi must have heard what she said just now, Zhou Chang immediately understood: "Really? So this is the master you want to introduce. What a coincidence, what a coincidence. But I have already asked the master for advice."
Zhou Chang couldn't help but sigh, could it be that Miss Yuan was the reincarnation of the savior?
No matter what identity she changes to or where she goes, she can always meet her in times of crisis. Isn't this the savior born for her?
Yuan Qi was completely unaware and said to Shu Chen: "Master Shu Chen just said that he would give me a scripture, but I think he hasn't brought it yet."
Shuchen chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, I'm just about to get it."
"Then thank you very much, Master. This place is exquisite and elegant. Madam Pei and I will wait here." Yuan Qi said without any hesitation.
Shu Chen put his hands together and bowed: "Amitabha, donor, please wait a moment. Your corresponding items have just been blessed and will be delivered to you shortly."
After saying that, Shuchen left first. "Collect, collect, infinite scenery, sell today, and be generous tomorrow."
