Chapter 126 The Second Young Master and the Second Lady Share a Room

In the side hall.

Pei Jingxu followed Rong Xuanzhou and saw the angry-looking Buddha statue in the main hall.

Rong Xuanzhou took Axuan's hand and asked him to kneel in front of the Buddha statue.

Pei Jingxu also knelt down and clasped his hands together.

Right in front of us, three or five monks were holding Buddhist beads, beating wooden fish, and chanting scriptures in a low voice.

A Xuan knelt there obediently, allowing the monks to chant scriptures and bless him.

The Heart Sutra removes obstacles, and the Diamond Sutra dispels evil.

After the scriptures were chanted, the monk took out a blessed amulet from under his bowl and handed it to Axuan.

Only gave him one.

Axuan took the amulet and the smile on his face stiffened a little.

Pei Jingxu also took the amulet handed over by the monk and bowed to thank the monk.

He looked at Rong Xuanzhou beside him with a sad expression: "Uncle Xuanzhou, Ah Xuan wants two amulets."

According to the rules of Randeng Temple, each person can only ask for one amulet. If one insists on asking for another one, he or she must chant scriptures here for a whole day to pray for the mercy of the gods and Buddhas.

Rong Xuanzhou didn't quite believe in these things, nor was he willing to waste time on such things.

He frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the amulet in Pei Jingxu's hand.

"Pei Jingxu, give your amulet to Axuan." Rong Xuanzhou spread out his hand and stretched it towards her.

Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, but a look of surprise appeared on his face: "I asked for it, why should I give it to him?"

Rong Xuanzhou said nonchalantly, "You asked for the amulet for me anyway. Since it's for me, I can do with it as I please."

As he spoke, Rong Xuanzhou took a step forward and asked for the amulet in Pei Jingxu's hand with peace of mind.

Pei Jingxu's eyelids twitched and he almost sneered out loud.

She took a step back, pretending to be disappointed and angry, her eyes slightly rounded. "So, the amulet I asked for, you're going to give it to someone else?"

"Pei Jingxu, what are you fussing about?" Rong Xuanzhou frowned and explained, "Axuan and Nuonuo aren't just strangers. They're still young. Wouldn't it be better to give them the amulet?"

"I begged for this," Pei Jingxu said, tears streaming down her face as she clenched the talisman bag in her hand. "I won't give it to him."

"Uncle Xuanzhou, forget it." Ah Xuan tugged at Rong Xuanzhou's sleeve with a lost tone. He looked at the amulet in his hand and said softly, "Ah Xuan, just give this amulet to Nuonuo. Ah Xuan doesn't want it anymore."

Upon hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou looked at Pei Jingxu with disappointment in his eyes: "Pei Jingxu, when did you become like this?"

"It's just a peace charm."

He said, it's just a talisman.

Pei Jingxu blinked, and inexplicably recalled the time when they were not married yet.

On a snowy winter day, she suddenly wanted to eat the buns from the shop at Dongchengmen.

It was the coldest time of winter, with heavy snow falling. Before dawn that day, Rong Xuanzhou climbed up the wall of her Pei family's house and threw a pile of buns wrapped in brown paper steadily into her arms.

It was freezing cold, and the buns must have been the latest from the oven, steaming hot and even a little hot to the touch.

Heavy snow fell on the boy's shoulders and hair. Rong Xuanzhou raised his eyebrows and said with a youthful spirit, "Pei Jingxu, you are so delicate. Only I can support you."

Pei Jingxu embraced the young man's ardent love and looked up with a smile, "Rong Xuanzhou, it's just a few buns. No need to get up so early for me."

Hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou frowned in disapproval: "So what? If you want to eat, then eat. How can I treat you unfairly?"

In fact, to this day, Pei Jingxu still cannot reconcile the young Rong Xuanzhou with the present Rong Xuanzhou.

At this moment, the man standing in front of her had disappointment and anger in his eyes.

"Pei Jingxu, it's just a talisman."

I'm still a little sad, not because of Rong Xuanzhou, but because of the young man who was so high-spirited back then.

Pei Jingxu also guessed that Ah Xuan was trying to make trouble, so he moved his eyes and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

She bit her lip slightly and finally handed over the amulet in her hand reluctantly.

Her lips trembled slightly, and tears fell at just the right moment.

Rong Xuanzhou took the amulet with a bad look on his face. He clenched the amulet in his hand, but it was snatched away by Axuan the next second!

"Thank you, Uncle Xuanzhou! Now Xuan and Nuonuo both have amulets!"

As he said this, he happily walked out of the side hall with two amulets in his hand. Before leaving, he gave Pei Jingxu a provocative look.

Pei Jingxu lowered his head, looking aggrieved and weak.

Rong Xuanzhou frowned upon seeing this, his voice slightly hoarse, "If you really want it, I'll get you another one."

He just felt troubled.

Pei Jingxu shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks: "No need, I don't need it anymore."

Hearing this, Rong Xuanzhou took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I'll take Xuan back first."

After saying this, he walked out of the hall, but for some unknown reason he came back to his senses and glanced at Pei Jingxu who was standing under the gods and Buddhas in the side hall.

The gods and Buddhas were glaring at him, and his wife, standing under the Buddha statue, was like a bubble that would shatter at the slightest touch.

For a moment, Rong Xuanzhou felt an uncontrollable pain in his heart.

But it was only for a moment. The next second, Ah Xuan in the distance called him loudly. Rong Xuanzhou was drawn back to his thoughts. He smiled mockingly and thought to himself that he was overthinking it.

In the side hall, Pei Jingxu narrowed his eyes as he watched Rong Xuanzhou leaving, and the pitiful look on his face disappeared.

She turned around, faced the gods and Buddhas in front of her, and knelt down again.

The monk beside him was slightly surprised when he saw this: "Donor, what are you doing..."

Pei Jingxu raised the corner of her lips and said resolutely: "I would like to ask for one more favor."

--

That night.

Because of the arrival of Rong Xuanzhou and Bai Shutong, Rong Jianxue did not leave Randeng Temple today.

In the Zen room, Jiang Hui's palms and back were covered with a thin layer of sweat.

He lowered his head and carefully observed the man sitting at the table.

Since returning from the main hall, the young master has been sitting here copying scriptures for several hours.

The waste paper around was crumpled into balls and scattered all over the floor.

The rustling sound of writing is more like someone's noisy and mottled mood.

Jiang Hui swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and dared not look again.

I don’t know how long it took.

As if ready to die, Jiang Hui spoke cautiously, "Sir, the Second Lady... hasn't returned to her meditation room yet."

The sound of the pen finally stopped.

The man's voice was hoarse, like gravel crushed by wind and sand: "What does it have to do with me?"

Jiang Hui's clothes were soaked with cold sweat on his back. He spoke cautiously, "I heard that due to the large number of pilgrims, there are no extra meditation rooms in the temple today."

After a pause, Jiang Hui took a deep breath and said softly, "The Second Young Master proposed... to live in the same room with the Second Lady..."

"Ka--"

It was the sound of a brush breaking.

The white jade pen holder broke in the middle, and the jagged marks scratched the man's finger bones, causing blood to flow out.
