The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Huang Chenming said: "You have many places to go. From what I have observed, you don't hang on these two trees every day."

This time it was Suiying's turn to laugh.

The attendant asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Suiying said, "Wong Tai Sin's serious look is quite intimidating, but he lied to you. A two-year-old phoenix tree can't stand your tossing and turning. A towering phoenix tree takes more than ten or twenty years to grow, hahahaha."

When the attendant heard this, he refused to allow the tree to be cut down.

Wan Lianxing didn't want to look at the two big trees in front of the door, but how could he be impartial between Huang Chenming and his follower? One was the person who had followed him for more than ten years, and the other was the person who had just arrived for a few months and still needed to win people's hearts.

"Go ahead and cut them down. Choose two good spots in my yard and plant two fast-growing trees for my followers to play with."

"My Lord." The attendant's face turned pale.

Wan Lianxing patted his legs and said, "Please take care of my legs. I haven't walked ten miles this year."

The attendant said, "You obviously don't believe in Wong Tai Sin's stuff."

Wan Lianxing said, "It's not too late for me to believe now."

Half an hour later, the two big trees in the yard were knocked down by the people Huang Chenming called. Wan Lianxing looked at the annual rings on the roots of the trees. The tree was older than it was. What a pity, what a pity, but what could he do? Huang Chenming thought that he was cutting down the trees for good reasons, so let him cut them down.

At this time, Suiying said to Huang Chenming, "Huang Daxian, I admire you. You burned paper for the Marquis, wrote talismans, and cut down two trees in the courtyard, but in the end, the Marquis didn't escape any disaster. That's fine, after all, what's coming can't be stopped. But I'm curious, if the Marquis encounters something dangerous again, what else can you do to resolve it?"

Huang Chenming said: "I promise that the Marquis will be safe and sound for the whole next year."

Suiying said: "I hope what you said is true."

……

The New Year passed in the blink of an eye. Huang Chenming suggested, "My Lord, tomorrow is the first day of the year. Let's go to the temple to burn some incense."

Wan Lianxing politely refused, "Ming'er, you know my leg well. The poison is still there and it's hard for me to walk. I think we should just go to the temple."

Huang Chenming looked at Wan Lianxing's fast steps. The man had recovered from the poisoning in two days. Why was he bringing this up to avoid going to the temple?

Huang Chenming continued to persuade: "My Lord, go to the temple to pray for blessings. It is a good omen."

Wan Lianxing said, "Ming'er, Lord Marquis, I am willing but unable to do so. I will not go with you this time. You can ask my brothers and sisters-in-law to come with you. They like to go to the temple to pray for blessings. It will be more lively if you go together."

Huang Chenming said: "There is a temple outside the city. There is an old monk in the temple. He is very prestigious. Let's go and meet him."

Wan Lianxing said, "I never interact with monks, but I made an exception for you once. You can't make me make an exception again."

Huang Chenming said: "I have seen it. If this temple is prosperous, it will be of great benefit to the Marquis in managing Fengying in the future."

Wan Lianxing said, "I am too lazy to go to the temple, please invite the master to your house."

Huang Chenming said, "My Lord, the temple will hold a Dharma Assembly on the first day of the lunar month, and the Dharma Master Daoqing will be giving lectures and discussing the Dao in the temple."

Wan Lianxing said, "I don't understand. I'm just standing there watching the fun."

Huang Chenming said: "I'm by your side. If you don't understand, I'll tell you again."

Wan Lianxing said: "Why bother with all this trouble? Can't you just tell me the Taoism directly?"

Wan Lianxing's face was full of resistance, and Huang Chenming could see it clearly.

"My Lord, we will go to the temple regularly to make donations from now on."

"regular?"

Huang Chenming said: "Don't go every day, choose a few special days to go."

Wan Lianxing sighed and said, "You are really good at treating me. Just make the arrangements and I will follow you tomorrow."

Day two.

Before dawn, Qiao Rong was at Cheng Youning's bedside, calling for him to get up.

"Young Master, get up."

Cheng Youning hummed for a long time without opening his eyes.

"Young Master, I'm up. I have some important things to do today."

Cheng Youning closed his eyes tightly and turned over to avoid Qiao Rong's voice.

"Young Master..."

"Don't bother me yet."

"Master, today is the first day of the new year."

"What happened to the first day of the new year?"

"You have to get up early on the first day of the new year."

Cheng Youning groaned and said, "You asked me to stay up all night last night, and you asked me to get up early today, but I won't get up."

Qiao Rong handed Cheng Youning's quilt to Cheng Youning and said, "Get up, everyone get up."

Cheng Youning said: "I'm sleepy."

Qiao Rong said, "Young Master has to pay New Year's greetings to all the elders in the mansion. Getting up late will break the rules."

Cheng Youning said: "As a child, I don't need to be so cautious."

Qiao Rong said: "Don't you want New Year's money?"

When he heard about the New Year's money, Cheng Youning opened his eyes and said, "How could I forget about this?" He climbed up like a little loach, jumped to the ground, and ran away in his slippers.

Qiao Rong chased after him: "Young Master, you haven't changed your clothes and washed up yet."

"Not urgent."

Cheng Youning quickly went into his parents' room. The light in the room was dim and shadows of people could be seen.

Cheng Youning knelt beside the bed and kowtowed three times, not too loudly, "Youning wishes New Year's greetings to parents."

"Ok?"

"What's going on?"

Cheng Feng loosened his grip on Shang Xi's arm and said, "Your son is here to wish you a happy new year."

Shang Xi said: "Here so early? Why does this kid get up so early?"

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "This is asking you for New Year's money."

Cheng Feng reached out and carried Cheng Youning to the bed, "Why aren't you wearing a coat?"

Cheng Youning crawled into bed and said with a smile, "I was in a hurry to wish my parents a happy new year, so I didn't have time to put on my clothes."

Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng: "Have you prepared New Year's money for Cheng Youning?"

"You're not prepared?"

Shang Xi said: "It will be fine if the two of us contribute one each."

Cheng Youning sat up suddenly, "Mom, you didn't prepare anything for me, did you?"

Shang Xi felt weak in the heart. Cheng Youning disturbed her and she couldn't continue to sleep. She got up and said, "I'll get it for you."

Shang Xi rummaged through the chest of drawers, and finally took out a ruler, "Son, this is a priceless treasure."

Cheng Youning said, "Isn't this the ruler you don't need to retreat from?"

Shang Xi said: "This is something that mother couldn't bear to use, so I'm giving it to you."

Cheng Youning said, "You didn't prepare it carefully enough. I'll accept it reluctantly... Dad, what did you prepare for me?"

Cheng Feng patted Cheng Youning's butt and said, "It's on the table, go get it yourself."

Cheng Youning jumped to the ground. There was indeed a small wooden box on the table. "What is this?" Cheng Youning opened it and saw a very small compass. "What a small compass. Where did it come from? It's so exquisite."

Cheng Feng said: "I asked someone to find it for me. Don't you like running outside? With this, you won't get lost."
