The eminent monk Zhou Shutong mentioned came soon.
Gu Xiwan originally thought that all eminent monks were male. However, Gu Xiwan discovered that the eminent monk invited by Zhou Shutong was actually an elderly woman——
On the contrary, he is as kind and approachable as Zhou Shutong.
Because Zhou Shutong was devoted to the Buddha, Chu Lingjue decorated the hall on the third floor of the main building like a Buddhist hall just for Zhou Shutong's use. Only Zhou Shutong had the key to the third floor. Therefore, even the cleaning servants rarely set foot on the third floor. building.
Zhou Shutong took Gu Xiwan, Sheng Xinyi, Chu Yujiao and the female eminent monk to the "Buddha Hall" on the third floor.
The female eminent monk asked Gu Xiwan and Sheng Xinyi's birthdays, prayed in front of the Buddha statue, and said to Gu Xiwan,
"You are most likely pregnant with a daughter. I gave your daughter the word 'Shan Hui'. I hope she will be smart and have a kind heart. If you like this name, you can name your daughter Chu Shan." Wisdom."
Out of respect for Zhou Shutong and the monk, Gu Xiwan did not reply, but the corners of her mouth twitched.
Chu Shanhui!
She doesn't like this name!
At this time, the female eminent monk smiled and said,
"Young Madam, we Buddhists believe in the equality of all living beings. We will never influence other people's free will. The name I mentioned is just a suggestion. If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. Your daughter's final name will be , it’s up to you to decide.”
Gu Xiwan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
"Thank you. It's up to me to decide."
The female eminent monk looked at Gu Xiwan thoughtfully. After a moment, she held a small golden Buddha in both hands and sent it to Gu Xiwan.
"This is the amulet that your mother-in-law and I sincerely requested from the Buddha for you. May it protect you and your children from disasters and have a safe life."
Gu Xiwan said "Thank you", took the small golden Buddha and wore it around her neck.
The female eminent monk turned to Sheng Xinyi and said,
"You are most likely pregnant with a son. I give your son the word 'Strong'. I hope he will have a pragmatic heart and a strong body like his father Ling Jue. If you like this name, you can give it to your son." The son was named Chu Shizhuang."
Sheng Xinyi smiled sweetly,
"Thank you, Master, for giving my son this name."
The female eminent monk was stunned.
"So, do you accept this name?"
"Master, my mother often mentioned you to me before. You are the person my mother respects the most. You are willing to give my son a name. It is a blessing for me and my son. How can I not accept it?"
Sheng Xinyi's sweet voice was gentle, and her beautiful eyes were full of gratitude.
The female eminent monk looked at Zhou Shutong who was meditating next to her in surprise, then took out another small golden Buddha and said calmly to Sheng Xinyi,
"This is your amulet, take it."
Sheng Xinyi hurriedly took it with both hands.
"Thank you, Master."
Looking at this scene, Gu Xiwan couldn't help but feel a little confused -
When she refused to accept the name given by the female eminent monk, the female eminent monk still looked kind and cheerful;
Sheng Xinyi's behavior was completely opposite. According to common sense, Sheng Xinyi was blindly trying to please this eminent monk. Shouldn't this eminent monk like Sheng Xinyi more? Why did Gu Xiwan feel that the eminent monk was indifferent to Sheng Xinyi?
Gu Xiwan was lost in thought when she heard Zhou Shutong say,
"Wanwan, Yiyi, next I want to listen to the eminent monk's sermon. This may be boring for those of you who don't believe in Buddhism. I won't ask you to accompany me. You can go about your own business. "
In fact, Gu Xiwan had been sitting on pins and needles in this "Buddha Hall". When Zhou Shutong said this, she immediately picked up the conversation.
"In this case, Mom, eminent monk, I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to turn around and leave.
Sheng Xinyi left behind Gu Xiwan.
Chu Yujiao also wanted to leave, but Zhou Shutong held her back and scolded,
"I didn't tell you!
You are too angry. Stay and listen to the Zen words of eminent monks, which can purify your mind. From now on, you must come here with me and meditate for two hours every day, so as not to cause trouble outside. "
Although Chu Yujiao was rebellious at heart, she was not so bold that she refused to listen to Zhou Shutong and had no choice but to stay.
After Gu Xiwan and Sheng Xinyi left, Zhou Shutong respectfully saluted the female monk and asked,
"Master, I think your attitude towards Yiyi just now was a little abnormal. Why?"
The female eminent monk shook her head and sighed,
"I have given names to thousands of descendants of Buddhist believers, but giving names and taking names are two different things, as you know. Therefore, the names I give to people are often two words with the meaning of blessing. Combination, such a name just represents my blessing to the person praying for it, how can it sound good? A normal mother will not accept this kind of name, but will choose another name by herself.
Your daughter-in-law behaves very naturally, which shows that she is candid and thorough;
But your daughter Yiyi, the name I gave her was still called Shizhuang a few decades ago. Who would give their son such a name now? She actually accepted it with a smile on her face. How could she really like this name? She just wanted to please me and you by the way... She was very scheming! "
Zhou Shutong was speechless, only a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
Yes!
Zhou Shutong has known Sheng Xinyi for fifteen years. How could she not see that Sheng Xinyi was scheming? If Sheng Xinyi had not been scheming, she would not have been able to stand out in the entertainment industry full of intrigues and intrigues and become the most dazzling star in the entertainment industry.
However, in the past, Zhou Shutong knew that although Sheng Xinyi was as scheming as the sea, she had no intention of harming others. This was why Zhou Shutong was particularly optimistic about Sheng Xinyi.
However, since Chu Lingjue and Gu Xiwan got married, Zhou Shutong felt that Sheng Xinyi had changed. Although Zhou Shutong did not find any evidence, she vaguely felt that Sheng Xinyi was no longer as upright and kind as before...
Hopefully this is her imagination!
Because she is a Buddhist and believes in karma more than ordinary people, she knows that if Sheng Xinyi becomes bad and does evil, she will eventually receive bad retribution.
Yiyi's family has been torn apart because of Ling Jue, and Yiyi has already suffered too much pain and suffering. Zhou Shutong really doesn't want to see Sheng Xinyi suffer misfortune.
…
Gu Xiwan walked downstairs along the spiral staircase.
When she was about to reach the second floor, her cell phone buzzed and vibrated in her pocket.
Seeing that it was Jiang Yichen, she picked up the call without hesitation.
Immediately, Jiang Yichen's always gentle and friendly voice was heard,
"General Manager, when you came to Yipintang this morning, didn't you come back an hour later? It's been almost three hours now, why haven't you come back yet?"
Gu Xiwan raised her eyes to look at the electronic watch on the second floor, and then said,
"The time now is 11:26. I won't go there in the morning. I'll go after lunch."
"this……
The batch of masks that Mr. Zhang promised to donate to us has just been delivered. The delivery driver must sign for it before unloading it, so you'd better come here now. "
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
After Gu Xiwan hung up the phone, she walked downstairs quickly.
At this time, Butler Cheng was sitting on the sofa on the first floor, reading classics. When Gu Xiwan saw Butler Cheng, she said unceremoniously, "Uncle Cheng, is it convenient for you to take me back to Yipin Hall now?"
"Of course it's convenient, young madam, you go wait for me in the yard first, and I'll pick up the car now." Butler Cheng put down the classics and went to pick up the car.
Gu Xiwan stood in the yard waiting for Butler Cheng to drive over.
She hadn't waited even a minute before Sheng Xinyi came to her with gentle steps, caressed her belly with her right hand, and said in a weird voice,
"Sister Wanwan, I found that you haven't paid much attention since you were pregnant. You always walk in such a hurry, and you often fight with others, and even have sex with Ling Jue...
Haha, aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting your child? "
Gu Xiwan glanced at Sheng Xinyi indifferently and said sarcastically,
"Of course you hope that my child will be bad, but you don't have to worry. Ling Jue's genes are very strong, so my child will be strong, but that's not necessarily the case for the child in your belly, right?"
"..." Sheng Xinyi's rouge-red lips trembled,
"Wanwan, there is something in your words! Please explain clearly to me, why is it that if your child is hard, my child may not be hard?!"
