Chapter 2057 Side Story 45:
Seeing that his wife was pursing her lips and not saying a word, si yiyan"s heart instantly hung high up in the air. He pulled her into his arms and said in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice, a little nervous, " "I promise you, from now on, I will never lie to you about anything. Don"t be angry, okay?"
At the end of his sentence, his low and hoa.r.s.e voice was soft and he sounded like he was begging.
He had never been confident in front of Wen Xinya.
With his status and family"s wealth, he could have any woman he wanted.
Yet, he had fallen for Wen Xinya!
Everything that he was proud of was not worth mentioning in her eyes. He remembered very clearly that when they first met in the mo family, she vaguely sensed that his ident.i.ty was not simple. She avoided her like a snake and Scorpion. Even now, he still felt stifled when he thought about it.
Even after the two of them got together, she had always been treading on thin ice in the Wen family. Ning shuqian was vicious and greedy, Xia Ruya was vicious and scheming, Wen Haowen was heartless, old Mrs. Wen was cruel and made things difficult for her, and even old Mr. Wen was very utilitarian. However, she had never thought of using his ident.i.ty to get out of trouble.
Wen Xinya glared at him. &Quot; speak properly! &Quot; she chided.
Ever since Jing Xing was born, the father and son had been fighting each other and Si yiyan had become more and more shameless. He had also learned his son"s tricks of showing weakness. At first, she had believed it, but every time he showed weakness, she would be defeated. She didn"t know how much her heart ached for him, but this trick had worked on her every time.
Gradually, she also began to get a taste of it. However, as a man, even a man with a heart of stone would not be able to resist it if he were to lower his status and show weakness in front of you. So, he still succeeded every time.
Although Wen Xinya was annoyed, she still indulged him.
Si yiyan rubbed his nose and pretended to cough. &Quot; "The auction is about to start, let"s go in!"
Looking at her reproachful eyes, he knew that her anger had mostly subsided. Her uneasy mood had finally been put down. How could she continue to pester this matter? she immediately changed the topic.
Si yiyan brought Wen Xinya into the black market and arrived at an antique-looking building.
On the left and right of the gate of the courtyard stood two old lions, baring their teeth and glaring at each other. They looked very mighty. On the pillar carved in lacquer, there was a stone tablet at the gate with inscriptions on it. On the left was written " 90% of the Shao, the Phoenix Emperor has come to honor " and on the right was written " a friend has come, it"s a pleasure. &Quot; the characters on the stone tablet were majestic and contained a lot of meaning. One could tell at a glance that it was the work of a famous person.

Wen Xinya looked up to see the words "Lai Yi Pavilion" on the plaque of the building. She laughed and said, " "You do have some skills."
Not everyone could afford to be artsy, and if one was not careful, it would become showing off.
&Quot; in Z Country, families with a strong family background, heritage, and heritage are extremely proud of their nation. They never wors.h.i.+p foreigners. In their opinion, the thousands of years of cultural heritage of Z Country can"t be compared to those uncultured barbarians. That"s why they"re very fond of Z country"s culture. &Quot;
These people were also very good at maintaining their status, and even many rich and powerful people in foreign countries did not dare to provoke them. When they came to this land, they had to abide by the rules. Otherwise, no matter who you were or how powerful you were, they had the ability to quietly punish you until you cried and cursed, and you would not know who you fell into.
This was pride.
Wen Xinya agreed. Grampy was a cla.s.sic example. However, he was not one to reject foreign culture. From what she knew, Grampy"s study room had many foreign literary cla.s.sics.
The Lai Yi Pavilion was a paradise with exotic flowers and plants, rockery, and lakes. It could be said that every step was a beautiful sight.
&Quot; there"s a Jade pool in the backyard of the Lai Yi Pavilion. There"s a piece of Jade from the Tang Dynasty in it. There are Scriptures carved on it. It"s quite interesting. &Quot;
Si yiyan led Wen Xinya to the backyard.
Soon, Wen Xinya saw a 30-square-meter white jade pool. Under the sunlight, the water glowed like jade. The tall jade stone looked like Buddha sitting on a Lotus. Water poured down from the top of the Jade stone and slowly fell into the pool.
There were ancient scriptures carved on the stone, and the entire text was filled with Sanskrit. Wen Xinya could not help but ask curiously, " "What Scripture is carved on this?"
She had never thought about whether si yiyan could understand Sanskrit.
In her opinion, si yiyan was omnipotent.
Moreover, he had a deep affinity with Buddhism and was well-versed in Buddhism, so how could he not know Sanskrit?
Si yiyan smiled and said, " it"s the "four admonishments of mortality". It"s a Scripture on establis.h.i.+ng one"s life, changing one"s ways, acc.u.mulating good deeds and virtue. It"s a very representative Scripture in the Buddhist scriptures. One of the most famous sentences is about the past. For example, death yesterday. From then on, like today."
Si yiyan then used fan lang to read the scripture.
His voice was clear and melodious, like meteorites. .h.i.tting each other. It was lonely and elegant, light and clear. At this moment, she finally understood what it meant to hear the Sanskrit. It was clear and round, and the earth, fire, water, and wind were all empty.
The " four rules of mortality " could be said to be the Scripture she was most familiar with.
At the beginning of her rebirth, she had always felt that her rebirth was a mystery and she was often in a constant state of anxiety. Therefore, she would often read some Scriptures to calm herself down.
The reason why he chose the " four rules of mortality " was because it was a piece of enlightenment Scripture that gathered the knowledge of establis.h.i.+ng life, the ways of changing, the ways of acc.u.mulating good deeds, and the effects of humility. It told the world that as long as one could achieve the above four points, they could control their own future and change their own destiny.
After her rebirth, she often used the four fan training to guard herself. Only by standing upright and working hard could she establish her life. Only by remembering one"s own mistakes and changing one"s mistakes could one escape the painful fate of the previous life. Only by sticking to one"s heart and doing good could one start and end well. Only by doing good deeds and with virtue could one have a clear conscience.
And she had done it!
Si yiyan held her hand and said, " the Jade pool water is sweet and clear all year round. It"s a rare rootless water. I heard that long-term drinking of it can prolong one"s life and make one immune to all diseases. &Quot;
Good water indeed had the effect of prolonging one"s life and eradicating all diseases.
Wen Xinya hurriedly composed herself. &Quot; then I"ll have to give it a good taste. &Quot; she said.
The attendant standing at the side had already prepared a Jade bowl that was as clear as a pool of water. It was l.u.s.trous and clean, and it contained clear and transparent pool water. She could almost tell what a bowl was and what water was.
Drinking it, the water was indeed fragrant and sweet.
Wen Xinya took a sip and handed si yiyan another bowl. &Quot; "The pool water is indeed wonderful. You should try it."
Si yiyan naturally wouldn"t reject her. After drinking the water, he put his arm around her waist and said, " "If you like it, we can use this pool water to make tea later. I"m sure it"ll be a different taste."
Wen Xinya was naturally overjoyed.
