The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

The students in the student cafeteria weren't as composed as the teacher. After taking another bite of hot pot, they were all won over and asked for more. In the end, Li Anjin was pushed out. Watching his lunch being devoured, Li Anjin wasn't angry; he just shook his head helplessly. It seemed he would be hungry at noon today. Fortunately, he had eaten a few bites earlier.

As for Feng Xiao and the others, smelling the aroma of the hot pot and seeing the crowded seating area, although they really wanted to try it, they couldn't bring themselves to compete with everyone for food since they didn't get along with Li Anjin. The aroma of the hot pot made their own food taste bland, and they suddenly lost their appetite. So they simply ignored the unpleasant scene, packed their things, and left.

The group of people with him, seeing Feng Xiao leave, although they really wanted to try the hot pot, glanced at Feng Xiao walking ahead and followed him. After all, their fathers were all subordinates of Prime Minister Feng, and they dared not offend this powerful figure.

When everyone looked at the empty plates with lingering relish, one of the students who was on good terms with Li Anjin said, "Brother Li, there's not enough hot pot. We didn't get to enjoy it as much as we wanted."

Everyone else also said they didn't eat well.

Another student joked, "Alright, Brother Li has already given us the hot pot, so stop complaining."

Li Anjin: It wasn't that I gave up my spot; I was clearly squeezed out by you guys.

Upon hearing this, the other students realized they had eaten Li Anjin's lunch and quickly gave up their own lunch for him.

Li Anjin looked at the table full of food boxes in front of him, smiled helplessly, and said, "It's alright, I just ate some, I'm not very hungry."

Li Anjin's good friend and best friend Yun Huaqing asked, "Anjin, who came up with the idea of ​​this hot pot?"

Li Anjin replied, "It's a relative of mine. She's planning to open a restaurant in Kyoto, which will have this hot pot. Not only this hot pot, but also many other delicious dishes that you haven't tried before. It will open in a few days, and everyone can come and taste them together then."

Yun Huaqing: "Oh, where is that restaurant, and what's its name?"

Li Anjin was just waiting for someone to ask; as expected of his best friend, he's awesome.

"The restaurant is on the main street, it's the Cyclamen Restaurant that everyone used to frequent."

When everyone heard it was cyclamen, they were all stunned. They knew about the cyclamen incident, and some of them were even present at the time.

Seeing the hesitant expressions on everyone's faces, Li Anjin said, "I know that everyone is a little bothered by what happened at Xiankelai a few days ago, but the manager of Xiankelai is currently renovating and rearranging the restaurant, and will also invite a high monk from Lingshan Temple to perform rituals to pray for the deceased and for blessings."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Li Anjin mention the eminent monks of Lingshan Temple.

Lingshan Temple enjoys a very high reputation among the people. Praying at Lingshan Temple is believed to be very effective, especially for Master Huizhi. It is said that Master Huizhi can see through people's souls and knows the past and future for five hundred years. Many natural disasters were predicted by Master Huizhi, which saved the people from suffering.

Those who were fortunate enough to receive guidance from Master Huizhi also enjoyed a smooth and successful life.

However, Master Huizhi was not so easy to invite. Lingshan Temple had an unwritten rule: monks in the temple could not go down the mountain to perform rituals for others without permission.

This regulation was mainly to prevent some monks from using the name of Lingshan Temple to amass wealth. After all, Lingshan Temple has a great reputation, and many high-ranking officials and nobles have invited the high monks of Lingshan Temple to come down the mountain to perform rituals and offered generous rewards for revenge. Some people with weak Buddhist faith took the opportunity to amass wealth. Later, the abbot discovered this and expelled all the monks who took the opportunity to amass wealth from the mountain. At the same time, this regulation was established.

However, it is still possible to go down the mountain to pray for blessings or perform rituals for those with good karma, but in recent years, very few monks have gone down the mountain.

However, people still visit Lingshan Temple to pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month, or during festivals. Even on ordinary days, many people come to Lingshan Temple to pray for blessings and fulfill vows, and the temple is always bustling with worshippers.

However, Master Huizhi, the most famous monk of Lingshan Temple, is rarely seen. Even if the emperor himself went to Lingshan Temple, he might not be able to meet Master Huizhi.

Seeing the suspicious looks in everyone's eyes, Li Anjin knew exactly what they were thinking.

He didn't know if others had good karma, but his own grandfather was definitely a person with good karma. Ten years ago, when his grandmother passed away, the old general wanted to go to Lingshan Temple to ask a young novice monk to chant sutras for his grandmother's salvation. He unintentionally saved Master Huizhi, who was unconscious, on the mountain.

After Master Huizhi woke up, he said that the old general was a person with good karma, and that if there was anything he needed in the future, he could go up the mountain to find him.

When the old general heard that Li Muxia had bought the Xiankelai Hotel, he sent someone to Lingshan Temple to consult Master Huizhi in advance. Master Huizhi agreed that they could hold a Dharma assembly at the hotel once the renovation was completed.

We offer prayers for the deceased and bestow blessings upon the immortals.

These days, being able to invite a high-ranking monk from Lingshan Temple to perform a ritual is something to brag about for a whole year.

Moreover, being able to receive blessings from Lingshan Temple means that Xiankelai will be a blessed place in the future. Everyone is looking forward to dining there and receiving some good fortune.

Seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, Li Anjin knew that he had achieved his goal.

After returning home, the students of Taiyuan Academy introduced hot pot to their relatives and friends, making many people who had never seen hot pot before eager to try it. Every day, people would go to the entrance of Xiankelai to see if it was open.

And so, thanks to the students' tireless efforts, the hot pot's reputation quickly spread throughout the city. Even the emperor in the Golden Palace heard about it and was very curious about what this hot pot was.

Of course, the emperor could not leave the palace at will, but he still couldn't resist his curiosity and summoned General Li to the imperial study.

Looking at this old man who was about the same age as the late emperor, I remembered that when the late emperor was alive, General Li had fought alongside him to conquer the vast land of the Eastern Kingdom.

The Emperor held the old general in high esteem, after all, he was the late Emperor's sworn brother, and the Emperor remembered being held by the old general when he was a child. In the old general's presence, aside from the Emperor's status, he was merely a junior. According to seniority, the Emperor should address him as "Uncle."

The emperor had a chair brought to the old general so that he could sit and talk with him.

"Old Li, how have you been lately?"
