Xi Chun took this matter for news and told it to Xu Minglan. Xu Minglan disagreed, "The person in charge of making the false accounting naturally cannot be kept. Aunt did not do anything wrong, what's so new about it?"
"Little miss doesn't know, these stewards originally came to report in the courtyard of the Second Wife to report in the first place, but only after receiving a secret from there did they find out that the Eldest Wife had returned home, and thus exposed the situation."
Xu Minglan finally understood everything after hearing it, she took the handkerchief and laughed, "So it turns out that the Second Aunt is the big spender, I wonder how much money the Second Aunt spent on our family?"
Logically speaking, with her seniority, making fun of Lady Ji like this was extremely rude. Xi Chun and the others wished that she would be happy, but how would they bother with it? She added extra details on those stewards who did not care about their dignity and stubbornly stayed in the courtyard of the Lady Helan, begging for permission to not leave. Finally, she was amused again.
"Today, I heard from the old granny in the big room that the master's wife is going to the Shoushan Temple to pay her respects to Buddha. Originally, the Eldest Wife was planning to go today. However, he was tripped by these stewards and failed to do so. Xi Shi added after hearing the crowd's lively conversation as he walked in.
Xi Shi was stumped by her question, "I never asked about this, that old woman only casually mentioned it to the people at the side, and when I passed the courtyard in front of the house, I heard his say something."
Xu Minglan sat in front of the dressing table and thought for a long time before throwing the comb in her hands and saying, "Xi Chun, bring a cloak over with me. Let's go to Sixth Sister's courtyard and ask her about it."
Xi Shi also didn't expect that just by saying it, he would cause trouble; she only said this because he knew Xu Minglan was the one who was the most impatient to worship Buddha. He didn't expect her to be interested today, and even grumbled incessantly in his heart.
Seeing that Xi Chun was really going to look for the cape, she went over to Xu Minglan and hesitantly suggested, "Why don't you ask seven girls? If this young lady really wants to go, Eldest Wife would be willing as well. "
Xu Minglan glared at her, "Who says I want to go, I'm just going to ask."
It took Xi Shi a long time to understand Xu Minglan's intention.
That night, Xu Minglan went to the Drunken Star Residence and leaked a bit of the news that Xu Mingwei was going to pay respects to the Buddha to Xu Mingmei, hinting at the fact that the Shoushan Temple was very famous for begging her son to keep her baby.
Not long after she left the Drunken Star Inn, Lady Ji sent her wife to the main house to inform Lady Helan. She also wanted to go tomorrow as well, so she brought along their courtyard when Lady Helan left.
Since the second room was gone, there was no reason for him to leave the fourth wife alone at home. Xu Minglan had just finished her evening tea, and the woman in the main house had come over to pass on the news, telling her to rest early today, and accompany the horse carriage to the Shoushan Temple to pay respects.
Xi Shi simply admired her daughter, as he had never seen her so intelligent before. If she wanted to go out and tell the Eldest Wife, it would be fine, but she had to take a detour around her, and it would not be troublesome.
What Xi Shi didn't understand was that what Xu Minglan wanted was the feeling of someone else begging him to go instead of me wanting to go.
Lady Helan also lazily walked around the bush. The little girl would always take a period of time to think that she was very smart, her skills were actually very shallow, and her scheming was also very cute.
That night, when they were close to Zi, the courtyard started to move early. It was said that only then would he be sincere enough. Thus, even the second house and fourth wife had to be prepared in advance. As the number of people increased, the time became harder to control. The group of people hurriedly rushed over, and only after a while did they arrive at Shoushan Temple. It was still better to be at the front, but the pilgrims had already gone up the mountain the day before, and only today, no one dared to snatch it from them.
Xu Mingwei rarely did not sleep at this time, and as kids slept more, they were so tired that they could not even open their eyes when they got off the carriage. The Lady Helan felt her heart ache. She carefully hugged his son and sighed, "If it wasn't for those blind people holding him back, why would I need to drive this incense? Look at these kids, they are all tired out."
Xu Mingmei and Xu Minglan were still better, but they had less mental energy, so they were still clear-headed.
At this time, the Lady Ji walked up with her belly puffed up and asked, "Eldest Sister-in-law, are you done burning incense?"
The Lady Helan nodded to her and instructed her to bow before Kuan Yin, saying, "Be more sincere. Before you burn the incense, you should first talk to the Bodhisattva about which family you are from, where you live, where you live, and what you beg for. If you agree to it, then what do you want to return …"
Although he felt that it was troublesome, in his heart, he saw that since his son was so important, he still kneeled on the prayer mat and begged sincerely. After burning a stick of incense and making a promise to give birth safely, he would donate the money for ten years.
Xu Mingmei, Xu Minglan and the three sisters, under the guidance of Little Sha Mi, first bowed to Buddha Maitreya and then to Guan Yin. Since they were all here to protect their homes, the incense they had been burning wasn't too complicated. Soon, it was all over.
The Buddhist monk then came up and sang a Buddhist prayer to the Lady Helan, his kind eyes saying, "The more sincere and sincere a woman's sandalwood is, the more her wish will be fulfilled."
Xu Mingwei heard it clearly from the side, and she felt that the monk was not that kind of empty place person, his words were very vulgar. She recalled that Xu Mingbai's letter had mentioned that the Buddhist Monk's act was extremely funny, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the Monk.
Xu Mingwei had always thought that Buddhist Monk Jiu Gui was old, but she never thought that he would only be around twenty years old. She could not help but be startled.
The stamp also noticed her. Stunned, it spread open its brows and lightly smiled, "Honeysuckle has a big climate between her brows and has quite a bit of history. "It's a pity that in the past and past, I was enchanted by the devil. Seeing that Little Tan's fate was more than enough, I can't imagine the calamity that has yet to come, Amitabha."
Hearing his tone, Xu Mingwei really thought that he saw through the fact that she had teleported here, and looked at Lady Helan in shock and fear, afraid that she would be suspicious too.
Lady Helan lowered his head and looked at her, thinking that Xu Mingwei was afraid because she heard that there would be more dangers in the future. She then patted her head and asked the Buddhist Monk, "Does Grandmaster have a way to solve this?"
Lady Helan actually did not believe the words of the Buddhist Monk. It was just that the monk had deliberately made an excuse for the sake of the incense. However, Xu Mingwei had been unlucky recently. First, she escaped from the Eldest Princess Palace, then, she was pushed into the lake by someone. It was good for him to spend money on peace of mind at the Great Monk's side.
He then said slowly, "It's not like there are no methods to crack the seal. With the name Little sandalwood hanging over her head, she will become a single disciple in the temple. With Buddha watching over her, she will be able to turn the situation around and live a smooth life."
Hearing that, Xu Mingwei heaved a sigh of relief, it turns out the big monk changed her method again, almost scaring her out of her wits.
The Lady Helan naturally agreed. Although there were no female disciples in the temple, it was fine to hang up a list outside the Shoushan Temple, but of course it wasn't something as cheap as leaving a list for nothing. For Xu Mingwei's safety, Lady Helan took out six hundred taels of silver from the start. When the Buddhist monk saw the banknotes, he was overjoyed.
By this time, more and more people began to come to the temple to worship Buddha, all of them from far away days of good fortune. They all wanted to take advantage of the sparse incense and ask for their wishes, lest Buddha overhear and miss them.
The Lady Helan felt that there were too many people in the hall, so after waiting for the Lady Ji to make a good wish, she called for Xiao Sha Mi to bring them to the meditation room to rest. However, a six or seven year old girl suddenly appeared from amongst the new guests and ran straight towards Xu Mingwei. Lady Helan was afraid that something unexpected would happen, but she heard her daughter yelling at the man in surprise, "Sister Ning Hui, why are you here too?"
Lady Ji obviously recognized Fu Ninghui and explained with a smile.
When Lady Helan heard that her surname was Fu, she could not help but take a few more glances. She had a round face with large eyes and a pair of faint dimples on her cheeks. It was very obvious when she smiled.
Seeing that Xu Mingwei was busy talking to Fu Ninghui, the Lady Helan turned to look in the direction Fu Ninghui had come from, just in time to see a beautiful woman around thirty years old, accompanied by a few servant girls, also smiling at him.
Lady Helan knew that this was the wife of the Fu family's oldest daughter. She quickly led her over and greeted with a smile, "This must be the wife of the Fu family, right? He came back in a hurry and was about to deliver an invitation to pay a visit to the mansion, but he met her here first. If it wasn't for your son saving her in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see my daughter. "
The Fu Clan's Eldest Wife Wang also guessed the Lady Helan's identity. He smiled warmly, "Eldest Wife Xu, you're too polite. It was nothing more than a task, you should do what you have to."
Out of the corner of his eyes, Lady Helan saw a boy who was half a year old hiding behind his wife, peeking at her with a pair of big black eyes. He did not know if he was the other son of Lady Wang. "She's so pretty. Come, come to Aunt and let Aunt have a good look at her."
Mrs Wang turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was Quan Ge'er who was hiding behind her. She quickly ordered her grandma to carry him out, and apologetically smiled at Lady Helan: "This child has a thin-skinned face, she is afraid of strangers. Madam Xu should not take offense."
