Chapter 37: Once Upon a Time
Shen Sangsang lay on his chest and sobbed non-stop, as if she was a child who had lost her direction.
Shen Yuehuai's heart felt soft, but it felt like it was pierced by something hard. Her heart became extremely warm, as if liquid was flowing out.
The next morning, the servants were packing up things in the Shen family villa, making a lot of noise, but the master bedroom had already been cleaned up.
Shen Yuehuai counted a series of things, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he asked the servants to carry them into the car.
The move lasted the entire morning, and at noon Shen Sangsang came down from upstairs and watched the movement outside the gate.
Shen Yuehuai stood in the hall and saw her coming downstairs. He asked, "Are you hungry?"
Shen Sangsang didn't say anything.
Shen Yuehuai said, "Eat something. It's cooler today, so let's move over first."
Shen Sangsang didn't move, and Shen Yuehuai didn't intend for her to move.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Yuehuai took her out.
In the car, Shen Sangsang was sick and had little strength. Shen Sangsang put a piece of clothing on her and read a book beside her.
There was a quiet sound of air conditioning in the car.
Xu Jie sat in the front and asked, "We've already found a tomb for the joint burial, and the family is asking for a million for the bride price."
Talking about that marriage again.
Shen Yuehuai didn't even raise his head, his eyes were always on the book, and he looked uninterested: "Well, give it to her. The old lady attaches great importance to Feng Shui."
"Okay, then I'll go and negotiate it in a few days."
"I hope Xiaozhou is satisfied."
Shen Yuehuai turned the beads in her hand.
It was a pair of golden nanmu beads, each bead had golden veins.
After about four hours, their car arrived at the foot of a temple.
Shen Sangsang raised her head and looked out the window.
This time they were accompanied by a psychologist and many servants, so the number of people accompanying them and their own luggage was huge.
The senior monk came to greet them, Shen Yuehuai took Shen Sangsang out of the car and nodded to the senior monk.
The monk's face resembled Maitreya Buddha, full of joy and harmony. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to stay here this year."
Shen Yuehuai does not believe in any religion, but the old lady does. When the old lady was in good health, he would naturally come here with his mother to stay for a while.
Moreover, this time the souls of Xiaozhou and his soon-to-be-married new wife will be liberated here. After the divination and fortune-telling confirm that there are no problems, they will be buried together.
Shen Yuehuai said calmly: "Well, it's rare for me to have time to come back in the past few years, so I came here to stay for a while."
Shen Sangsang had naturally been here before, because before summer, Old Madam Shen almost always came here, so she naturally went along.
The monk asked with a smile, "Is Sangsang here too?"
Shen Yuehuai glanced sideways at the person next to him, and he smiled and reintroduced: "This is my wife."
The smile on the monk's face froze, obviously he didn't expect such a huge change to happen.
Shen Yuehuai didn't explain too much. He looked at Shen Sangsang: "Sangsang, you should still remember Abbot Wang."
Shen Sangsang called out softly, "Master Wang."
The monks were all privatized by these high-ranking families. Their expressions changed very quickly. They only said, "It's been a few years since we last met. Miss Sangsang has grown a lot taller."
Yes, she was in high school at that time. Although it has only been a few years, she has indeed changed a lot from her high school days to now when she just graduated from college.
Moreover, she was very short and had not grown much during her high school years. At that time, the servants of the Shen family thought she had some kind of illness.
She didn't say anything about the abbot's words, and her temperament seemed very calm.
The monk felt a little puzzled: "Why does Miss Sangsang seem unhappy..."
Shen Yuehuai said: "I had a minor illness and came here to recuperate."
Upon hearing this, the monk stopped asking and simply said, "That's good. The beautiful scenery here is perfect for recuperation."
Shen Yuehuai smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you."
The monk then led the way forward.
Chen Sangsang followed Chen Yuehuai up the mountain. The weather was indeed good today. This was also a great place for hot springs. Needless to say, the scenery was beautiful. The flowers and trees on the mountain all looked extremely green.
As the monk followed Shen Yuehuai, he recalled the past with him: "I remember when Miss Sangsang first came, you were in charge of the family. You were in your prime at that time."
Shen Yuehuai smiled: "Are you old now?"
The monk said: "No, no, no, how can it be said that it is old? It is because the landscape is no longer as beautiful as it used to be."
Shen Yuehuai smiled faintly: "Not showing the mountains and rivers?"
He doesn't remember his old self.
The monk said, "You used to be a bit hot-tempered, but now you've become more gentle."
"Yes, it's a relief that you still remember me from the past."
Shen Yuehuai and the monk were talking all the way. Shen Sangsang followed them and could feel that Shen Yuehuai was in a good mood. However, when the monk said this, he suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember your nephew also came here a year ago and said he wanted to arrange a marriage."
The smile on Shen Yuehuai's lips froze slightly, and then he looked at the host: "Xiao Zhou?"
"Yes."
"I asked him which family the girl was from, but he refused to tell me."
"There's actually such a thing."
The smile on Shen Yuehuai's lips slowly disappeared.
The monk continued to recall: "Yes, I even used the girl's hair to tie a knot."
Shen Sangsang, who had been walking quietly, suddenly twisted her foot.
Shen Yuehuai barely had time to look at her before his hand quickly grasped her arm.
Shen Sangsang opened her eyes wide and looked at her feet.
Shen Yuehuai asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
"No, nothing."
She tried to straighten her back and stand more steadily.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her.
Shen Sangsang lowered her head again.
Shen Yuehuai asked again: "Are you really okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay."
Shen Sangsang replied in a low, hoarse voice.
The senior monk also looked at Shen Sangsang's situation, but since she didn't say anything, he didn't say anything more, so he led the way.
Shen Yuehuai gradually loosened his grip on Shen Sangsang's hand, and the few of them continued to move forward.
But after walking a few steps, Shen Yuehuai asked again: "How long has he been here?"
The abbot recalled: "One hour, and then he left in a hurry."
The abbot sighed again when he said this: "Xiaozhou was a good child, what a pity."
Shen Yuehuai was also thinking about something.
