Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

He naturally hoped it was the latter.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Xiao pretended to be confused and asked:

"Master, what you mean is that as long as Pei sends a girl who is closely related to my son to come to Cihang Temple for cultivation, you will be willing to treat my son immediately, right? Does the girl who is closely related to my son have any specific requirements?"

The voice did not reply.

Huiyun stepped forward and said:

"The master's words are a revelation of the secret. It is impossible to explain it to you too clearly. You need to understand everything on your own."

Pei Xiao thought about it, and then tried to say:

"Then I will send my son and the girl who is practicing and praying here tomorrow, and ask the master to treat my son?"

Huiyun remained noncommittal: "You will know after you try it."

Pei Xiao couldn't get to the bottom of the matter, so he could only hold on and ask other believers about the rules for asking the temple master for help, and then he said goodbye and left.

When he was carried down the stairs, he did not forget to put on a show and thank the people who had helped him. He said that he would bring his son to Cihang Temple for medical treatment tomorrow. If his son could be cured successfully, the Bo's Mansion would reward everyone.

It was obvious that he was still planning to continue to use public opinion to force Cihang Temple if he failed tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, the people immediately sent their blessings:

"My Lord will surely get what he wants tomorrow!"

Seeing the carriages and horses from the Bo Mansion leave, everyone became excited and went home in groups of three or five.

In the past two days, they not only witnessed the high-ranking official being forced to kneel outside Cihang Temple for three days and two nights, but also heard the voice of the abbot of Cihang Temple.

The ethereal, distant voice, yet extremely clear to everyone's ears, was just like the gods they imagined.

This kind of experience is enough to brag about for a lifetime.

As for those who instigated them to come and watch the fun and took the lead in humiliating Pei Xiao, they had already retired and left quietly in the past few days.

Only these common people were still thinking about tomorrow's reward and planned to continue watching the fun tomorrow.

After seeing that everyone had left, Huiyun ordered people to close the gate of the Taoist temple, and he personally went to the East Garden to report the situation to Chen Qingzhu.

Even though she acted very calm just now, she is now full of questions.

She could understand why the abbot did not take the opportunity to ask for a letter of release from the concubine "Madam Chen" and completely sever ties with the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

After all, more is better.

If the direction is too clear, the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion will realize that the abbot and "Aunt Chen" may have a close relationship or may be the same person. Given the greed of such powerful people, I am afraid that the abbot's daughter will immediately become a hostage to threaten the abbot indefinitely.

But apart from this, she had many other questions.

Chen Qingzhu was eating while listening to her report on the specific situation outside. Seeing her confused face but trying hard not to ask, he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and said with a doting smile:

"Ask if you want to. This temple master is in a good mood today, and I will definitely answer your questions without hesitation!"

Hearing the indulgent tone of the temple master, Huiyun couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face:

"Then let me ask, has the master of the temple confirmed that the person you send tomorrow is the one you want?"

Chen Qingzhu said:

"Nine times out of ten."

She had already heard from Zhang Liu that the third young lady of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion had been clamoring to go to the mountains to practice with her biological mother some time ago.

Taking into account some other factors, the person who will be sent here is most likely Rong Niang.

"If not, then find another way to get them to change. Didn't I ask you to talk to Lord Jingnan and try?"

Huiyun finally understood.

That trial word has such a wonderful use.

"Then...if we really send the person here, the temple master will have to ensure that the son of the Jingnan Marquis is safe for life? Wouldn't this be too easy for the Jingnan Marquis's mansion?"

Chen Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

She is a cultivator, not a real god, so how could she have such ability?

"Of course not. He sent someone and we accepted it, but that doesn't mean he sent it right. The one who can really keep Pei Jin safe is the wife of Jingnan Bo. Do you think she will be sent here?"

There is a lot of meaning in this statement.

Huiyun was immediately satisfied and said with a smile:

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion! I will go and prepare a room for our young lady right away!"

Chen Qingzhu did not correct her address. Seeing how thoughtful she was, he could not help but smile.

She has been away from the mortal world for more than eighty years, and her thinking and lifestyle are very different from those of ordinary people. Although her love for her daughter has not changed, she is no longer very good at taking care of the child. With Huiyun around, she can better guide Rongniang's growth.

*

Pei Xiao traveled for more than two hours and finally returned to Jingnan Marquis's Mansion.

Zhang Jinghong estimated the time and was already waiting in the main hall.

When he heard that they had returned, he immediately followed the servants of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion to greet them.

He was shocked to see Pei Xiao being carried off the carriage.

Although I knew that the two of them would be injured after kneeling for more than two days, I didn't expect that even Pei Xiao couldn't walk.

Zhang had just woken up from a coma and looked very weak.

Although he was anxious, he still asked about the couple's condition first. When he learned that they had applied blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment on their legs on the way, he started asking about the business.

Pei Xiao endured the discomfort in his legs and told him the requirements of Cihang Temple.

Zhang was horrified as she listened.

Except for herself, no one knew that the words of the abbot of Cihang Temple had a hidden meaning.

And the one who needs to be sent for blessing is also her.

Does the abbot of Cihang Temple know everything, or did that bitch Chen Qingzhu tell her what happened in the Bo Mansion?

She couldn't be sure.

She could only pray silently in her heart that Zhang Jinghong and Pei Xiao would never associate it with her.

Fortunately, the abbot of Cihang Temple did not make his words too clear.

Zhang Jinghong pondered for a moment and said:

"In any case, we have to choose someone to try first. The girls who are close to Jin Ge'er by blood must be his sisters."

Then he asked tentatively, "I wonder if my brother-in-law is willing to let the rich man suffer this hardship..."

Pei Xiao did not hesitate.

His daughters were all born out of wedlock. If he could exchange a concubine's daughter for the safety and well-being of his eldest son, he would be willing to do so, even if it meant exchanging his life for his own.

"The Bo's Mansion has provided them with fine clothes and delicious food for so many years. Now it's time to contribute to the Bo's Mansion, no matter how hard it is, they have to go."

After saying that, he turned to Zhang and asked, "Madam, who do you think is the right person to go?"

Zhang was very nervous, but her face looked weak. She said gently:

"Given the age of our eldest daughter Yunniang and the second daughter Funiang, if they practice for twelve years, I'm afraid it will affect their marriage."

"The fourth daughter, Wan Niang, and the fifth daughter, Ying Niang, are too young. They may have trouble taking care of themselves, let alone praying for Brother Jin."

"After much thought, I think the third daughter, Rong Niang, is the most suitable in terms of age."

Of course the reason is not that simple.

What she was thinking was that Chen Qingzhu was practicing in Cihang Temple after all. If the person sent there was Rong Niang, she would find a way to keep Rong Niang regardless of whether she had any say in front of the temple master or not.

If the matter of the Bo Mansion was reported to the abbot by Chen Qingzhu, then sending it to Rong Niang was also a warning.

Let Chen Qingzhu know that she can easily control the future of the illegitimate children of the Bo family.

Although Rong Niang was sent over, she still had Xuan Ge'er in her hands. If Chen Qingzhu wanted her son to be safe, he should know what it meant to keep his mouth shut and abide by the law.

If it wasn't what Chen Qingzhu said, it would prove that the temple master had no intention of meddling in worldly affairs. No matter who it was sent to, he would not have refused or exposed it.

Pei Xiao pondered for a moment.

In terms of age, Rong Niang is indeed the most suitable.

Moreover, the biological mothers of the other daughters were all in the mansion, so no matter who was chosen, they would inevitably come and cry and make a fuss.

Only Rong Niang had no biological mother to make trouble for, and she even wanted to go find her aunt a while ago.

From any perspective, Rong Niang is the most suitable.

"We still need to inform Brother Xuan about this matter."

Xuan'er is extremely talented, smart and steady. Regardless of his background, he is indeed better than Jin'er, the eldest son.

Pei Xiao still values ​​this eldest son of a concubine to some extent.

So, he explained to Zhang Jinghong, "Uncle, this Xuan Ge'er is Rong Niang's twin brother. They have had a very good relationship since childhood. Now that the brother and sister are separated, it is also very unbearable. So this matter must be discussed with Xuan Ge'er first."

Zhang Jinghong looked at him carefully, knowing that this brother-in-law was asking for benefits for his eldest son. He thought for a moment and said:

"If you can really choose his sister, let him study with your third uncle together with Jin Ge'er."

For a bastard, being able to study in the Zhang family school was already an honor, and being taught personally by Zhang Hanlin was a great blessing.

This benefit is already very sincere.

After Pei Xuan was called over, he was naturally very satisfied with this condition.

After entering school in ancient times, he became increasingly aware of the importance of family background and teacher-student relationship.

Now that he can study with Zhang Hanlin, his starting point is many times higher than that of ordinary scholars, and his probability of passing the imperial examination in the future is also greatly increased.

With his family background and the fact that he was a Jinshi, he would definitely have a bright future even if he could not inherit the title.

Naturally, he would not object if he could gain such a benefit just by sacrificing his sister who always caused trouble for him.

After saying some high-sounding and righteous words, he settled the matter with everyone.

No one discussed it with Rong Niang, the person involved; she was only informed by Pei Xuan at the end.

When Rong Niang heard the news, tears immediately fell.

But I am not sad because of being abandoned and sacrificed, but happy.

Because Pei Xuan told her that the Cihang Temple where she was going to practice was the predecessor of the Jingci Temple where her aunt went.

As long as she is kept by the temple master, she will be able to see her aunt tomorrow and stay with her forever!
