Seeing his wife pursing her lips and not speaking, Si Yiyan's heart suddenly hung high. He held her in his arms and said in a low, hoarse, somewhat nervous voice: "I promise you, from now on I will never lie to you about anything again, please don't be angry, okay?"
At the end, his low and hoarse voice had a soft tone, as if he was begging.
In front of Wen Xinya, he never had the confidence.
With his status, family background and wealth, what kind of woman could he not want
But he fell in love with Wen Xinya!
Everything he was proud of was never worth mentioning in her eyes. He remembered very clearly that when they first met at the Mo family, she vaguely sensed that he was not a simple person, and she avoided her like a vicious snake. He still felt sad when he thought about it.
Even though the two of them were together later, she was walking on thin ice in the Wen family. Ning Shuqian was vicious and greedy, Xia Ruya was vicious and calculating, Wen Haowen was heartless and ungrateful, Old Madam Wen was cruel and difficult, and even Old Man Wen was very utilitarian. However, she never thought of using his identity to get out of the predicament.
Wen Xinya glared at him and said, "Speak properly!"
Ever since Jingxing was born, the father and son have been fighting each other, interpreting the word "black-bellied" to the fullest. In the process, Si Yiyan's face has become thicker and thicker, and she has gradually learned her son's trick of showing weakness. At first, she believed it, and every time he showed weakness, she would be defeated and feel heartbroken. This trick almost always works for her.
Gradually she began to understand the meaning of it, but when a grown man lowers himself to please you and shows weakness in front of you, even a man with a heart of stone would not be able to resist, so she still lets him succeed every time.
Although Wen Xinya was annoyed, she still indulged him.
Si Yiyan felt annoyed, touched his nose, pretended to cough twice, and then said: "The auction is about to start, let's go in quickly!"
Looking at her reproachful eyes, I knew that her anger had almost subsided and her uneasy mood had finally been put at ease. There was no way she would continue to dwell on this matter and she immediately changed the subject.
Si Yiyan brought Wen Xinya into the black market and came to an antique courtyard building.
At the entrance of the courtyard building, there stand two old lions, one on the left and the other on the right, with bared teeth, angry eyes, and very majestic. On the lacquered column at the entrance stands a stone tablet with an inscription engraved on it. On the left side it reads "Xiao Shao is at its 90th level, and the phoenix is coming", and on the right side it reads "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming to visit". The inscription is written in a majestic and profound style, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by a famous calligrapher.
Wen Xinya looked up and saw the words "Laiyi Pavilion" written on the plaque of the courtyard building. She couldn't help but smile and said, "It does seem to be quite a trick."
Not everyone can afford to be pretentious; if you are not careful you may end up showing off.
"In Country Z, families with real family background, heritage and inheritance are extremely proud of their nation. They never worship foreign things. In their view, how can Country Z, with thousands of years of cultural heritage, not be better than those barbarians without any cultural heritage? Therefore, they are very fond of Country Z's pretentiousness."
These people are also very good at maintaining their status. Even many wealthy and powerful people in foreign countries dare not offend them. Once you come to this land, you have to abide by the rules. Otherwise, no matter who you are or how powerful you are, they have the ability to quietly punish you and make you cry and curse, but you will not even know who you have fallen into.
This is arrogance.
Wen Xinya deeply agreed that her grandfather was a very typical example, but he did not blindly reject foreign culture. As far as she knew, there were many foreign literary classics hidden in her grandfather's study.
There is a different world inside Laiyi Pavilion, with exotic flowers and plants, rockery and lakes, and a new scene at every step.
"There is a jade pond in the backyard of Laiyi Pavilion. In it is a jade stone from the Tang Dynasty with scriptures engraved on it. It is quite interesting."
Si Yiyan led Wen Xinya to the backyard.
Soon, Wen Xinya saw a 30-square-meter white marble pool. In the sunlight, the water in the pool exuded a jade-like luster. The high-standing stone looked like a Buddha sitting on a lotus. The water curtain poured down from the top of the stone and slowly fell into the pool.
There were ancient scriptures carved on the stone, all in Sanskrit, with ancient Buddhist meanings and profound meanings. Wen Xinya couldn't help but ask curiously, "What scriptures are carved on it?"
She never thought about whether Si Yiyan could understand Sanskrit.
In her opinion, Si Yiyan is omnipotent.
Moreover, he has a deep affinity with Buddhism and is well versed in Buddhist principles, so how could he not be proficient in Sanskrit
Si Yiyan smiled and said, "It is the 'Four Lessons of Life'. It is a text of instructions on establishing one's destiny, correcting mistakes, accumulating good deeds, and combining virtues. It is a very representative scripture in Buddhism. The most famous sentence in it is 'All things in the past are like my death yesterday; all things in the future are like my birth today.'"
Then, Si Yiyan read the scripture in Sanskrit.
His voice was clear, like the sound of chimes striking each other, solitary and elegant, and at this moment she finally understood what it meant to have the sound of Sanskrit enter one's ears, to have it be pure and complete, and to have the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind be empty.
"The Four Lessons of Life" can be said to be the scripture she is most familiar with.
At the beginning of her rebirth, she always felt that rebirth was mysterious and she was often worried all day long, so she would often read some scriptures to calm herself.
The reason why I chose "The Four Lessons of Life" is because it is an educational scripture that combines the knowledge of establishing destiny, the method of correcting mistakes, the way to accumulate good deeds, and the effect of humility. It tells people that as long as they can achieve the above four points, they can control their own future and change their own destiny.
After her rebirth, she often used the Four Lessons to warn herself. Only by being upright and working hard can she establish her destiny; only by remembering her own mistakes, knowing them and correcting them can she escape the tragic fate of her previous life; only by adhering to her original intention and doing good can she have a good beginning and a good end; only by doing good deeds and acting with virtue can she have a clear conscience.
And she did it!
Si Yiyan held her hand and said, "The water in the Jade Pond is clear and sweet all year round. It is a rare rootless water. I heard that drinking it for a long time can prolong life and prevent all diseases."
Good water can indeed prolong life and eliminate all diseases.
Wen Xinya quickly collected her thoughts and said, "Then I'm going to taste it carefully."
The waiter standing by was well prepared. He had a jade bowl that was as clear as a pool of water, shiny and clean, filled with clear and transparent pool water, so that she could almost distinguish what was the bowl and what was the water.
When I drank it, I found that the water in the pool was indeed fragrant and refreshing.
Wen Xinya took a sip, then filled another bowl and handed it to Si Yiyan: "Pond water is really wonderful, you should try it too."
Si Yiyan naturally would not refuse. After drinking the water, he put his arm around her waist and said, "If you like, we can use this pool of water to make tea later. It will surely taste different."
Wen Xinya was naturally very happy.
