Chen Qingzhu did not forget his promise to Hui'an as his trainer.

After rewarding the ordinary Kun Daoists, she called Hui An to the meditation room and said to her in a joking tone:

"The training has achieved remarkable results. Our instructor Hui'an should be credited with the greatest achievement. This temple master will reward you with twenty taels of silver. Please keep up the good work in the future."

As he spoke, he stuffed two large silver ingots weighing ten taels into Hui'an's hands.

Hui An was used to treating people coldly and harshly, and was not used to his boss being so friendly. He accepted the reward money and remained serious:

"Thank you, Master."

Chen Qingzhu continued with a gentle expression:

"I promised to give you a small gift. Come here and I will remove the scar on your face for you."

Hui An was stunned for a moment:

"Master, there is no need to waste your divine power. Your subordinates do not care about these things."

Chen Qingzhu stood up, walked to her side, and said softly:

"I know you don't care, so this is just a small gift. People in the world value appearance. Even if other people's daughters have spots, there are mothers who are heartbroken and spend a huge amount of money to make their daughters' faces clean and flawless."

There was some warmth in her eyes as she looked at Hui'an:

"If an ordinary believer can have it, how can my capable subordinate Chen Qingzhu not have it?"

This is what she thought of when Madam Qin asked for help.

It is a means to win over subordinates, and it is not without some sincerity.

She believed that although she was cold-hearted, she was willing to be nice to her loyal subordinates.

Hui'an was stunned again.

Although she was older than the master of the temple, she could still hear a hint of doting from a powerful person in her tone.

She hasn't felt such love for many years since her parents passed away.

Such pampering not only did not make her feel disgusted or uncomfortable, but instead made her feel warm and at ease.

The temple abbot saved her, and to this day he still uses his great strength to provide shelter from wind and rain for all the members of Cihang Temple. His kindness to them is truly like a rebirth.

The master of the temple not only showed great kindness to her, but also valued and cared about her so much...

The ice in Hui'an's eyes melted away silently.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master."

"But I think it would be better to wait until the second pilgrim arrives. My face may become one of the temple master's signature."

She knew that the master needed to become famous in order to control the powerful people in Nandu, so she also wanted to contribute to the master to the best of her ability.

Chen Qingzhu thought about it for a moment and agreed to her proposal.

*

The second pilgrim did not come from Captain Li’s promotion, but from Old Madam Qin.

Whether it was due to the rules of Cihang Temple or out of selfish desire to not want too many people to discover the master's supernatural powers, Old Lady Qin and others originally did not want to publicize the affairs of Cihang Temple.

However, as a senior sweets lover, Madam Qin could not control her mouth at all, and the truth was revealed at the Zhou family's flower-viewing party a few days after she returned from Cihang Temple.

Madam Zhou no longer participates in social activities that involve climbing up the social ladder, and has handed over this important task to her daughter-in-law, Madam Qin.

Therefore, the Zhou family's flower-viewing party was also a gathering of several old sisters with similar family backgrounds in their spare time, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

The glutinous rice noodles made by the chef in Zhou’s mansion are unique, sweet and crispy, coated with sesame seeds and plum blossoms, and taste very fragrant.

In the past, she had bad teeth and was afraid of breaking her only set of big teeth, so she didn't dare to eat freely. She could only hold one in her mouth and let it soften slowly.

Now that I have two good teeth, I can enjoy the food with every bite, and the more I eat, the more I forget myself. I finished a whole plate by myself.

She thought that the other old ladies were chatting and no one noticed her eating, but she didn't expect that when she finished a plate of food and drank a sip of tea, she sighed with satisfaction and looked up, she found that the hall was quiet and all the old ladies were looking at her with their eyes.

In fact, it was only her mortal enemy, Madam Zeng, who was looking at her.

The ill-fated relationship between the two was formed when they were young girls. They disliked each other since childhood. When they were young, they compared clothes and jewelry. When they got married, they compared husbands. When they were older, they compared sons and grandsons.

Over the years, there have been wins and losses.

After the age of fifty or sixty, people began to compare their bodies. In this matter, Old Lady Qin had the upper hand again.

Although Madam Qin has always been addicted to sweets and doesn't like to clean her teeth, her teeth are actually stronger than Madam Zeng's.

Madam Zeng lost her teeth very early. Two years ago, she had lost all her front teeth. She could only cook food until it was soft and well-rotted and swallow it whole or grind it slowly with her two remaining front teeth. Although Madam Qin's two front teeth often hurt, she could still eat normal food when they were not painful.

So she often used the tooth issue to bully Old Madam Zeng.

Madam Zeng was unhappy but had no way to deal with it. She could only secretly curse that Madam Qin's two big teeth would fall out quickly.

You don't even have to lose both. If just one of them falls off, you'll become the same as her.

Because of her special attention to Old Madam Qin, she soon discovered that something was unusual about Old Madam Qin today.

Damn old woman, how come her teeth are so good today? The way she eats rice noodles is no worse than that of young people.

Madam Zeng stared at Madam Qin for a long time, and others noticed it too.

As an old man with bad teeth, the fact that he can eat such a crispy snack as glutinous rice noodles so well is itself a very eye-catching thing.

The people in this hall are old sisters who often get together and are familiar with each other's situation.

Everyone was puzzled. Didn’t Madam Qin’s teeth have problems? How could she eat such hard food today?

"Sister-in-law Qin, did you go to get dentures? How come you can eat so well all of a sudden?"

As the old saying goes, everything you eat tastes delicious and you will be healthy.

As we age, we all have to face the difficulties brought about by bad teeth.

After all, when we were young, we all had meals with our grandmothers or great-grandmothers. The food was all cooked soft and mushy, and even the best ingredients would become difficult to swallow.

But now, they have reached this point.

Therefore, it is inevitable to pay more attention to the dentistry.

Of course, the one who needed it most urgently was Old Madam Zeng. But she was too embarrassed to ask her mortal enemy, Old Madam Qin.

When she heard everyone asking questions, she pricked up her ears.

However, when Mrs. Qin saw that everyone was paying attention to her, she was only panicked for a moment, then she wiped her mouth and said calmly:

"Who said I had dentures? You haven't seen me for a few days. Dentures require extraction of teeth, which will cause wounds. How can I eat so quickly?"

Think about the elderly people around you who have dentures. They have to pull out their original teeth and then make custom dentures. But in fact, these things can only play a decorative role and cannot be used to chew food. Otherwise, the gums will be worn out and covered with blisters.

If you are not a ruthless person, you really can't eat with dentures.

Therefore, dentures are basically painful and impractical for the elderly, and gradually fewer people go for them. They would rather just eat something soft and mushy to get by.

"Then how come you can eat glutinous rice noodles all of a sudden?"

Someone continued to ask.

Madam Qin lied without changing her expression:

"My tooth doesn't hurt anymore. If I want to eat, I can eat."

In other words, she still uses her original two teeth.

Although everyone is familiar with each other, they are not as familiar as the maids who serve their masters and know the chewing ability of other people's teeth.

The rest of the people were fooled, except Old Madam Zeng who didn't believe it.

She knew Madam Qin too well. She must have felt guilty the moment she was discovered eating glutinous rice noodles.

Later, when answering everyone's questions, the old lady of the Qin family kept tapping the teacup with her ring finger. This was a little trick she had used since she was young, a way to tell lies.

In an instant, Madam Zeng was completely certain that the old woman was definitely not telling the truth.

What is there to hide about a dental clinic? They are just afraid that she would also go to that dentist to get her teeth done, so that she would have nothing to put pressure on them.

Humph, you’re already so old, but you’re still such a stingy person!

Old Madam Zeng snorted in her heart.

If she doesn't want to tell you, then don't think she can't find out.

With this in mind, as soon as the party was over, Madam Zeng sent her trusted nanny to take some money and go find the servants in the Qin Mansion to get the news.
