Chapter 121

Lin's dojo started as scheduled according to Xiao Mingzhu's expectation.

Handed over to Shuirang Daoist to take full responsibility, Shuirang Daoist also thought very thoughtfully for her, and specially arranged a Yuhua Temple in the back to be used as a dojo, and the manpower is also very complete, not only presided over by Gao Gong, It is also equipped with eight Taoist priests leading 36 Taoist priests to chant scriptures.

Mrs. Xu didn't know whether it was because of her face, or she was really worried about Xiao Mingzhu's actions, so she came here in person early in the morning.When she saw the scene in the dojo, she couldn't believe it, not to mention how much money was spent, how did such a grand scene come about, Qingfeng Temple is not a place where money can do things.Five years ago, the sacrificial ashram she ran for the old Hou Ye didn't even have a third of the size in front of her eyes.

How many connections and money did Wynn leave for sister Ming?

Did he still think of himself as a mother?Lin's first, and now Sister Ming's, are they all ahead of her?
Dissatisfaction, resentment, and jealousy...

Mrs. Xu looked at Xiao Mingzhu with nothing but indifference.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't seem to see her eyes, the smile on her face didn't diminish at all, but she was more cautious when serving tea and pouring water, she did everything that a filial junior should do, and she served Mrs. Xu in a respectful manner. Explaining a sentence, let Mrs. Xu pick out the slightest fault.

From the dojo to the halftime break in the morning, Mrs. Xu finally didn't ask anything, but just excused that she was not feeling well, and went back home.

Watching the carriage on the house go away.

In the end, Aunt Qiao persuaded her: "Girl, the old lady hopes to get an explanation."

Xiao Mingzhu shook her head calmly: "Auntie is wrong, what grandma wants is not an explanation."

Is the explanation useful? If it is, the grandmother's knot will not remain unresolved for many years.What's more, she knew better in her heart that what grandma wanted was to control everything, and she couldn't use her freedom as a bargaining chip in grandma's hands.

Aunt Qiao was shocked, she never thought that Xiao Mingzhu would see more clearly than she did, the little girl she was protecting had grown up before she realized it.

Because the ashram was too grand and grand, it attracted the attention of many people who came to Qingfeng Temple to offer incense. After some inquiries, the news that Xiao Mingzhu was doing the ashram for her mother in Qingfeng Temple spread ten times, ten times, and it took half a day to almost spread throughout the entire capital. .

Some people who originally wanted to talk to the General's Mansion started to move their minds again, and even those who hadn't moved their minds before couldn't bear it.

The threshold for a third-grade general's mansion is already high.

Although Xiao Mingzhu is the eldest daughter of a bereaved mother, she is also an only daughter. She is taught by her aunt in the palace and is favored by an old genius doctor. Now she is rewarded by the emperor. There are still rumors circulating in the court that Xiao Huai'en will be promoted when he returns to Beijing. To be able to marry such a girl as a daughter-in-law is simply a great fortune.

Of course, no matter how good these external conditions are, we have to look at this young lady Xiao first.Normally, Xiao Mingzhu stayed at home, and they couldn't find a reason to go to the General's Mansion. Right now, this was a good opportunity.

But opportunities are opportunities. Some people who had contacts with the General’s Mansion before are okay, and they can use the identity of Gu Jiao to burn incense for Mrs. Xiao, but those who have never met before have a headache, so I have to find an acquaintance to introduce them, otherwise it will be like this Not only is it impolite to run over, but you will be looked down upon.

But the old lady of the general's mansion has not been out of the house for many years, and she has fallen out with her mother's family, so it is difficult to find a way out for a while.

Some people who didn't know the past of the General's Mansion set their sights on the Hou Mansion and the Xiao family.

At noon, the wife of the old patriarch who got the news brought her eldest daughter-in-law to Qingfeng Temple in a hurry.

Daoist Shui Rang reminded Xiao Mingzhu of this first, she probably guessed the purpose of the old patriarch's wife, and went straight to Yuhua Palace to meet the old patriarch's wife.

When the old patriarch's wife saw Xiao Mingzhu, she scolded her with a straight face: "For such a big matter in the dojo, you don't discuss it with the clan, just make up your own mind."

Xiao Mingzhu stared at the old patriarch's wife with wide eyes and said, "Mingzhu doesn't know that taking the position of Taoist priest for her late mother requires the consent of the clan." She was a little nervous and a little panicked.

The old patriarch's wife just wanted to see such an effect.

It is of course the General's Mansion's business that the General's Mansion builds a Taoist temple for the Lin family, and the family has no control over it at all.But she knew how much her sister-in-law hated Mrs. Lin, and would never do the dojo for Mrs. Lin. She was afraid that these were all Xiao Mingzhu's own actions.

But it's enough for Xiao Mingzhu not to know, she can easily take over everything as an elder.The Lin family is the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and her dojo will help the prestige of the Xiao family, that's no problem.

"Girl..." Nanny Shang wanted to stop her, but she was a little unsure.

The old patriarch's wife didn't want to be ruined by others, she said directly: "What about the account book, bring the account book."

"Oh." Xiao Mingzhu said, "Zhichun, go get the account book and give it to the second uncle and grandmother." The expression was natural, without any affectation.

Zhichun agreed and walked out.

Everything went so smoothly that the old patriarch's wife couldn't believe it.

After a while, Zhichun came back with the ledger, and she followed Shui to give way to the Taoist priest.

Shui asked the Taoist priest to rest in the side room next to him. Zhichun came to him to ask for the account book. He probably guessed what Xiao Mingzhu was planning, but so what, it is the tradition of Qingfengguan to protect his shortcomings.

"Prince Daoist." The wife of the old patriarch knew Taoist Master Shuirang, she didn't dare to neglect, she stood up and greeted Daoist Master Shuirang.

Xiao Mingzhu also stood up, before the old patriarch's wife said: "Master Dao, the second uncle and grandmother said that everything is left to her, so I asked the girl to find you for the account book."

Daoist Shui made a flash of understanding, "Oh, Mrs. Xiao from Xifu originally came to pay the silver for you on behalf of the Xiao family."

When the old patriarch's wife heard this, the smile on her face froze. "What, you haven't paid yet?"

She looked at the account book that was handed to her, as if she saw a hot potato, and she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.

Taoist Master Shui Rang said seriously: "The account is here, and all the expenses are clearly remembered. Except for the initial deposit of 100 taels, please pay the rest as soon as possible. As for the things that need to be supplemented in the future, I will record the account at that time. Just wait until the last day of the dojo to make it up."

The old patriarch's wife's face was really ugly.From the few glances she took when she came in, she knew that this dojo cost a lot of money, and now she has to pay for these expenses?How is that possible!

"Why, do you have any doubts? Is there something wrong?" Seeing that the old patriarch's wife was silent, Daoist Shui Rang asked bluntly, as if he wanted to go to her immediately to pay the money.

The old patriarch's wife couldn't stand it any longer, so she could only say: "This is a legal matter of the General's Mansion, and of course the General's Mansion will pay for it."

"Ah, didn't you say that the clan was responsible for this?" Xiao Mingzhu saw the opportunity, and stabbed bluntly.

The old patriarch's wife turned pale with anger, she just wanted to deceive Xiao Mingzhu's youth and ignorance, she never thought that she would really get involved.

 *
  Thinking over and over about the title of the old patriarch's wife, I feel that it is more appropriate to add the word "old", because the previous chapters have been locked, and only after consulting for editing and editing can I make changes.

  The patriarch's wife in the back is always the old patriarch's wife mentioned above, and I hope my relatives will forgive me.
