Chapter 9 The Concerned Person
Shen Jinci's father, Shen Shu, was a lover of literature and ink when he was alive, with a profound understanding of Suzhou gardens.
Many places in Shen's Manor were ingeniously crafted, with highlights worth pointing out; the overall garden bore the Jiangnan style, with large areas of artificial mountains and rock formations transported from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Such landscaping was luxuriously extravagant, and completed ancient residences were extremely rare in Xiangjiang.
Kang Yu opened the car door for the man in the back seat.
Under the deep night sky, Shen Jinci's figure was shrouded in darkness as he stepped out of the car, his black suit accentuating his fair complexion even more.
After bidding farewell to Bian Yue at night, Shen Jinci went to Ling'an Temple, his body still carrying the lingering scent of burning tranquil sandalwood.
He went there to pay homage to his father, Shen Shu.
Shen Shu was a Buddhist, and after his death, his cremains were not placed in the Shen Family ancestral temple but were placed behind the Buddha statue in the main hall of Ling'an Temple according to his last wishes.
Ling'an Temple was closed for these few days every year because Shen Jinci was going to offer incense to Shen Shu.
"Everyone has arrived," Kang Yu tilted the umbrella towards Shen Jinci, his voice respectful: "Your eldest uncle, Shen Shiniang, and second uncle, Shen Jian, have been waiting for you for over an hour."
Hearing this, Shen Jinci remained expressionless and walked toward the front hall.
