Chapter 8: The Auspicious Character

  Finally squeezed into the newcomer list as the last train, nothing to repay, third update is presented, seeking persistence! Seeking progress!

  Wang Fuyi was stunned and asked inexplicably: "Are you calling me?"

  The Taoist nodded: "That's right."

  Wang Fu's face suddenly fell: "What is it?" He had never had a good impression of wandering Taoist priests and monks, as they were often synonymous with swindlers.

  The Taoist didn't think much of it and said, "I see that there is an evil aura surrounding your body, with a strange smell. That's why I wanted to ask if you've recently come into contact with something unclean."

  "Nonsense! Don't talk rubbish!"

  When Wang Fu Deng spoke, he was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, jumping up violently: "The dirtiest thing I've ever encountered is you, this stinky Taoist. You're talking nonsense about ghosts and spirits, don't try to play tricks in front of me, otherwise I'll go to the government office to report you for spreading rumors and confusing the people, and have you splashed with black dog blood and punished with a stick."

  In the Tianyi dynasty, Confucianism was revered as the sole orthodoxy. The imperial court strictly managed Taoist and Buddhist clergy. Those who wanted to become monks or nuns had to first obtain a certificate of acceptance from the abbot of the temple and then register with the government. Only after verification and approval could they be ordained. Without identification, they were considered rogue Taoists or Buddhist monks and would be arrested by the authorities, subjected to being splashed with black dog blood, and flogged.

  Upon hearing this, the Taoist sighed and said: "How foolish people are! Death is approaching their heads, yet they do not realize it."

  No more words were said, shaking the bell, he turned and walked out.

  Chen Jianchen listened to the Taoist's words and felt that they were meaningful and seemed to be hinting at something, so he hastily said: "Brother Fu Tai, why don't you ask the Taoist to take a look for you?"

  Wang Fu snorted: "What kind of ability do these people who speak frightening words have? They're just pretending to be fierce and evil to scare people, extorting money. Luoxian, I've seen many Daoist priests like this before, just shout at them and chase them away, no need to waste time reasoning with them."

  Chen Jianchen stamped his foot, he didn't dare to confirm the Taoist's identity, but seeing him speak with conviction, not like a random shot, he wanted to ask for advice, but unexpectedly was chased away by Wang Fu as soon as they met.

  However, Wang Fu's move was normal, and Chen Jianchen had no choice but to take Wang Fu home, prepare the paper and ink, pick up the brush to write a large "Fu" character and hand it over to him.

  He took the letter and, after exchanging a few pleasantries with Wang, took his leave in great satisfaction.

  He paced back and forth in the house, thinking for a while, but Chen Jianchen finally went out to look for the trace of the Taishan Taoist priest at the wine shop. But where could he find him? The other person had gone somewhere unknown in a short time.

  Chen Jianchen felt as if he had lost something and was melancholy beyond consolation.

  ……

  But Wang Fu took the "Fu" character written by Chen Xiangchen and left in high spirits, not returning home first, but instead entering the Jiangzhou Prefecture City, coming to his villa inside the city.

  This separate courtyard is a property of the Wang family and has always been reserved for Wang Fu's exclusive use. Now, with the golden house hidden within, it is just right to hold a grand gathering here.

  Wang Fu and Taohua can be said to have fallen in love at first sight, and they cannot extricate themselves. Recently, regardless of day or night, the two people are happy every day, their feelings are as sticky as glue.

  For some reason, every time Wang Fu and Taohua were intimate, they would become extremely passionate, with unrelenting vigor, inserting deeply into the secret gate, exchanging tender words in the inner courtyard, as if forever unaware of fatigue or exhaustion, their enthusiasm bursting forth; while Taohua was even more accommodating to him, yielding to his every desire.

  Having such a daughter, what more could her father ask for?

  When facing his wives at home, Wang Fu often lost the battle after a few rounds and retreated in defeat - although he looked tall and strong, he was actually just a silver-tongued devil; being able to show off his prowess in front of Taohua truly greatly satisfied his male ego.

  According to Wang Fu's idea, he was ready to spend a few more days and then take Taohua back home to meet his parents. He would choose a day to hold the ceremony of taking Taohua as his concubine. He wasn't afraid that his parents wouldn't agree with him suddenly marrying a woman with an unknown background as his concubine, because as the only son in the family, Wang Fu's wishes were always fulfilled to the greatest extent.

  Especially after he finally got his wish and passed the imperial examination as a Xiucai.

  Peach blossoms nodded in agreement with his idea, blushing shyly.

  Wang Fuxin's heart was filled with joy and his anger dissipated. From then on, he had a beautiful and charming concubine by his side, what a wonderful life it was!

  As I entered the courtyard, Peach Blossom rushed out and greeted me with a bow, saying: "Young Master, you're back..."

  She was wearing a fitted silk dress, with an embroidered flower patterned jacket over it. Her whole person shone brightly, her temperament was bright and noble, absolutely a top-grade beauty.

  As soon as he heard her soft voice, Wang Fu's certain part suddenly started to harden, swelling uncomfortably, his heart itched, and his nose let out a faint "hmm".

  "Are the characters ready?"

  Got it.

  Wang Fu took out the "Fu" character written by Chen Jianchen and handed it over - a few days ago, he learned from Taohua that she had also studied poetry for several years, but later her family declined, her parents died one after another, and she had to drop out of school and flee to relatives. It was also because of this foundation that Wang Fu felt that the other party was his long-sought-after good match, true love. If he only had a good appearance but didn't know books or etiquette, then he would be inferior.

  "Is this the work of that young Mr. Chen, who was first in the imperial examination three times and caused such a stir? I must take a look at it myself and feast my eyes."

  She slowly opened the red paper.

  Buzz!

  Suddenly and strangely, the "Fu" character on the red paper, which was written with neat and regular strokes, suddenly emitted a faint glow between the strokes. This glow was so weak that ordinary people could hardly see it or notice it during the daytime.

  The peach blossoms can be seen now.

  Because those glows in her eyes, were like thorns, suddenly stimulated, densely and continuously piercing towards her body, as if to pierce her with a thousand holes, exposing her original form.

  Ah!

  The peach blossom suddenly shouted in surprise, hastily let go of her hand, threw the calligraphy to the ground, then covered her face and rushed back to the room, heavily closing the door.

  This sudden change occurred between the spark and the stone, Wang Fu didn't even have time to react, and he had no idea what was happening. At this moment, he couldn't care less about picking up the fallen calligraphy, but instead rushed into the house, knocking on the door: "Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

  Inside is quiet and still.

  Wang Fu became even more anxious, as if his heart and liver were aching: "Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom, don't scare me!"

  About a minute later, the door finally opened and Peach Blossom walked out with her head down.

  Wang Fu immediately hugged her and asked in surprise: "Tao Hua, is it you?"

  The peach blossom's face was slightly pale, and she bowed her head softly and weakly, saying: "Just now, I don't know what happened, but suddenly my heart skipped a beat, and I got scared."

  "Oh!"

  Wang Fu didn't expect her to be like this, and he hurriedly used his hand to gently pat her weak back, saying: "Don't be afraid, I've got everything under control."

  "Master, you're really great..."

  The voice of Peach Blossom is like a dream, with a strong magnetic attraction.

  In the midst of the sound, Wang Fu's certain part that had just softened suddenly stood up again. In such a bewildered and infatuated state, he could not discover the two glances in Peach Blossom's eyes, which were both resentful and fearful, falling onto the ground, landing on that "Fu" character.

  Her red lips pouted, and with a puff of breath, the words on the scroll were blown away, transformed into a gust of wind that swept out of the courtyard.

  "Peach blossom, let's go in, I want..."

  Wang Fu murmured, his large hands already restlessly probing beneath the woman's skirt.
