Chapter 7 Good Opportunity
Master Huai Hai was silent for a moment, then said in a gentle voice: "Since the princess has given the order, we should do our best. Let's send someone to inquire about it."
"Yes." The monk agreed, still worried.
Master Huai Hai is over sixty years old and is a very famous master in the Jade Buddha Temple. Shen Shu felt that the situation was the same as he remembered, so he stepped forward and asked, "Master, are you talking about the Jade Tendon Seal used in engraving?"
Master Huai Hai and the young monk leaned forward slightly to Shen Shuyi and said, "Miss Shen, it is indeed the Jade Tendon Seal. The princess has entrusted us to hope that the Jade Buddha Temple can use the Jade Tendon Seal to engrave Buddhist scriptures inside the pagoda."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "It just so happens that I know a little bit about it, I wonder if the master would be willing to let me try?"
The monk was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes fell on the young, shabby and downtrodden Shen Shuyi, feeling a little embarrassed: "Miss Shen, this is not a joke, you..."
Before the monk could finish his words, Master Huai Hai had already raised his hand: "Very good, Miss Shen, please."
Shen Shuyi smiled and followed Master Huaihai.
She remembered correctly that at this time in her previous life, a distinguished person came to the Buddhist temple. This distinguished person was not someone else, but the famous Princess Guining.
As the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was approaching, Princess Guining took great pains to create a ten-inch-tall red gold pagoda ornament for the Empress Dowager, and ordered monks to engrave the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra" on the inner wall of the pagoda in jade tendon seal script.
The Empress Dowager loved Yujinzhuan, but this type of script was not common in the dynasty, so the Buddhist temple spent a lot of time failing to complete it, and almost delayed Princess Guining's birthday gift to the Empress Dowager.
After waiting for a long time, Princess Guining became furious and executed several monks in succession. Master Huaihai finally asked an old friend to come out of seclusion and copy the Buddhist scriptures in Jade Tendon Seal Script.
Now is a good opportunity.
There was a desk in the Buddhist hall, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Seeing this, Yuping hurried forward to grind ink for Shen Shuyi.
Master Huai Hai and the monk stood on the other side of the table. The monk couldn't help but say, "Miss Shen, I know you mean well, but this matter concerns the reputation of the Jade Buddha Temple, which is extraordinary."
Shen Shuyi didn't explain much. He picked up the pen in one hand and gently gathered his sleeves with the other.
After a while, the pen tip fell lightly, and a pair of beautiful and exquisite small characters appeared on the paper.
That’s right, she really can write this kind of font, and it’s all thanks to Xiao Tingshan in her previous life.
Back then, she had put a lot of thought into helping Xiao Tingshan ascend to the throne. During that time, she found out that the empress dowager of the time quite liked the seal script style called Yujinzhuan.
In order to please the empress dowager, she practiced hard for three years and finally learned to write beautiful jade tendon seal script, which allowed her to show her face in front of the empress dowager.
Shen Shuyi didn't write much, just a simple five-character poem. After a while, she put down the pen. The monk looked at himself on the paper and widened his eyes in disbelief.
The handwriting is delicate, symmetrical, round and warm, with neat structure, beautiful and elegant.
It is indeed the Jade Tendon Seal which is rarely seen nowadays!
"Ms. Shen...Ms. Shen...is so amazing!" The little monk couldn't help but admire her, but still found it hard to believe.
Master Huai Hai couldn't help but whisper: "Amitabha."
Shen Shuyi looked at Master Huaihai and said in a gentle voice, "I have been staying at the Jade Buddha Temple for many years. I am grateful for your care. If you don't mind, I am willing to copy a copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra and present it to the Jade Buddha Temple."
Master Huai Hai looked kind and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Miss Shen. The Jade Buddha Temple is grateful."
Shen Shuyi said: "But since the Buddhist scriptures are to be engraved inside the pagoda, I need to compare the size of the pagoda when writing."
Although she only needed to copy and not carve the seal, the seal carving master must compare the size of her handwriting. The characters cannot be too big or too small. It is necessary to ensure that the "Earth Store Sutra" can be completely accommodated in the tower.
Huai Hai handed the young monk a key and said gently, "Go get the pagoda and send it to Miss Shen's residence."
"Yes."
*
Not long after Shen Shuyi returned to his residence, the monk brought him the red-gold pagoda that Princess Guining had someone carefully build.
The pagoda is more than ten inches high and made entirely of pure gold. There is a staircase in the middle, and the base of the pagoda is shaped like a lotus throne. The top is inlaid with emerald green pearls and bright red agate, complemented by pearls, making it exquisitely beautiful.
The monk worriedly warned, "This item was carefully crafted by Princess Guining with great effort. Miss Shen must keep it properly."
Shen Shuyi understood his concerns. This Princess Guining was the cousin of the current emperor, and they had a very close relationship, but she was domineering and cruel, and not easy to get along with.
"Master, rest assured. I will take good care of it."
After the monk left, Yuping looked at the luxurious pagoda in front of her, shining brightly with gold, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's really too gorgeous, worthy of being a gift to the Queen Mother."
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, so Princess Guining will naturally cater to her preferences."
What Shen Shuyi didn't say was that the empress dowager had a child who died young, but there are many different opinions about how the child died.
Therefore, some people say that the Queen Mother likes to worship Buddha in order to pray for the soul-stirring end of her child who died young, and the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" chosen by Princess Guining is also suitable for the soul-stirring end.
Shen Shuyi did not delay. He compared the size of the pagoda and then began to copy.
It took her nearly two hours to complete the copy of the "Earth Store Sutra" to the perfect size.
Shen Shuyi stood up and stretched herself. Yuping carefully picked up the paper and said with some joy: "Miss, do you want to send it to Master Huaihai?"
"No hurry." Shen Shuyi asked her to take the box back, and found some soft satin scraps to wrap the box tightly.
Seeing that Yuping had finished her work, Shen Shuyi whispered, "At night, while it's dark, bury it under the third locust tree on the east side of the lotus pond of the Buddhist temple."
Yuping was stunned for a few seconds, didn't ask any more questions, just nodded heavily, and then hid the things back to her room.

On the other hand, Zhiyuan delayed for a few days, thinking that he could wait until Yuping surrendered and came to him.
But unexpectedly, as time went by, not only did Yuping not come to see him, but Shen Shuyi's illness gradually got better.
After some investigation, Zhiyuan found out that Shen Shuyi had exchanged a jade pendant for food. He was annoyed and angry, and extremely unwilling to accept it.
It was noon that day.
Zhiyuan went to the kitchen before Shen Shuyi's meal was taken away.
Zhiyuan usually had plenty of money, and he often asked the kitchen manager to help with purchases and bring in some things from outside, so they had a good relationship.
Seeing the steward filling a food box, Zhiyuan stepped forward and asked, "Is this the lunch prepared for Miss Shen?"
The steward smiled and said, "Yes, Hongying should come to get it soon."
"Miss Shen is sick, so why is there no medicine today?" Zhiyuan took a look and asked.
"It just stopped today, and I heard it's basically healed now." The steward didn't shy away from him, knowing that he had also received many benefits from the masters and servants of the Shen family.
Zhiyuan's heart moved slightly, and he shook out a packet of medicine powder from his wide sleeves, and was about to add it to the bowl of soup while the steward was not paying attention.
