Wan Lianxing said, "We'll talk about the next time next time." He didn't want there to be a next time, and this time it was Huang Chenming who pestered him to agree.

"...Well, doctor, please prescribe some medicine to preserve my wife's pregnancy."

The doctor couldn't help laughing: "It's only been a few months and you're already taking pregnancy-preserving medicine. Madam Qian is in good health and doesn't need to take any medicine."

Boss Qian helped Wan Baiqian up and said, "Let's go back and lie down quickly."

"You don't have to lie down, right?" Shang Xi said.

Boss Qian said, "Your sister's body is different from yours, so it's better for her to lie down and feel more at ease."

Yes, she is different. She is taller than Shang Xi and has a better physique than Shang Xi.

Wan Baiqian said, "Can you please let me eat the meal?" The eight-treasure rice pudding in front of him was also Wan Baiqian's favorite.

Boss Qian said, "I asked the canteen to cook a special meal for you. You need to make up for it now."

Wan Baiqian said: "I just want that bowl of eight-treasure rice."

"Let's take it back and eat."

"Just sit here and eat."

Wan Baiqian couldn't argue with Boss Qian, so he had to compromise. Seeing Boss Qian carefully supporting Wan Baiqian, Wan Lianxing said with a smile: "Today we are going to the temple to give alms, Boss Qian, would you like to contribute?"

When Mr. Qian reached the door, he turned around and said, "Count me in. I'll pay whatever the price is. I finally have someone to take over my business. Please light some incense on my behalf and say a few auspicious words to ensure that Mr. Qian and his child are safe and sound."

As soon as Boss Qian left, Mrs. Wan clasped her hands together and said, "I hope this baby is a boy."

Wan Lianxing said, "I bet this baby is a girl."

Madam Wan said, "Crow's mouth."

Wan Lianxing laughed out loud, "Having a daughter is enough for the boss to show off, but if it's a boy, it will be even worse. I can't stand his smug look."

Madam Wan said, "You can be happy too. You and Zhong Siyu's affairs should be put on the agenda."

Wan Lianxing said: "I am busy with government affairs and have no time to care about other things."

Since coming to the prefect's mansion, Zhong Siyu has become much calmer. She no longer pesters Wan Lianxing like she used to. She spends every day chatting with Madam Wan, winning her favor and recognition. With Madam Wan's support, she is the only one who can become the lady of the marquis's mansion.

Madam Wan said, "You don't have to worry about it. I will take care of all these things."

Wan Lianxing said, "As long as it's not my sister-in-law who does it all."

Madam Wan rolled her eyes at Wan Lianxing and said, "I would like to take care of you. Will you agree to do it? Lianxing, I have checked all the auspicious days this year."

"Sister-in-law, can you let me eat this bowl of rice pudding? We have to go to the temple to attend a Dharma meeting later."

"Okay, okay, but I'll make the decision about you and Zhong Siyu."

Wan Lianxing nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhong Siyu, who was sitting next to Madam Wan, felt her heart beating fast, but she never expected that Wan Lianxing would be so easy to talk to today.

When leaving the house, Zhong Siyu's maid Zhu'er said to her happily, "Miss, you are finally going to make it through."

Zhong Siyu also laughed, "It's not that easy."

"Well, I think good things are coming. I will pray for the young lady and the marquis later."

As soon as they left the prefectural government, their steps were stopped by the people gathered at the gate.

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Today is my day to rest, right?"

"My Lord, you are indeed taking a day off today."

"So who are these people?"

People in the crowd said, "We are here to wish the Marquis a happy new year." As they spoke, everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wan Lianxing, muttering similar new year greetings.

Of course, we can't let everyone kowtow in vain, and we can't celebrate the New Year in vain. Wan Lianxing is not the kind of person who is stingy. "Let's go and have someone give everyone some money."

In the end, it was spread that Wan Lianxing was scattering money in the prefectural government. For many days, there was no quiet at the entrance of Wan Lianxing's prefectural government, with people coming to wish him a happy new year every day. But that's a story for later.

Wan Lianxing's lucky money was a pleasant surprise for the people. They came to pay New Year's greetings to Wan Lianxing out of consideration. After a while, people were still waiting to leave. Wan Lianxing said, "I heard that there is a Dharma Assembly being held in the temple today. Don't you want to join in the fun?"

"My Lord, are you going to the Dharma Assembly as well?"

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "I didn't listen before, but I will start listening from now on."

"My Lord, the eminent monk who is lecturing on the sutras and discussing the Dao is Master Daoqing. He is very smart and will go there soon."

Wan Lianxing thought, could there be this Huang Chenmingling standing next to him?

"Then I will go and see it today. We will meet at the temple later. By the way, the temple will have vegetarian food for public donations today. I heard it is good."

"Who donated the vegetarian meal?"

"Who else could have donated the vegetarian meal? Of course it was the Marquis."

"Then let's go quickly, so as not to miss the lectures given by the great monks, and also not to miss the vegetarian meal given by the Marquis."

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. This year, the temple had the largest number of people attending the Dharma Assembly. This was all thanks to Wan Lianxing. He stood below like everyone else, watching the eminent monk ascend the throne on the high platform, holding an incense burner and beginning his sermon.

Although Wan Lianxing didn't like to listen, he pretended to like it and felt the solemnity and sacredness of this Taoist temple with everyone else.

"Mingming, what is the name of this temple?"

"My Lord, this is Lingchen Temple. Didn't you see the plaque hanging on the high pavilion when you came in just now?"

"I couldn't open my eyes because of the smoke, so I couldn't see clearly."

Wan Lianxing fanned himself with a fan. Although it was not cold at this time of year, he was the only one who could leisurely fan himself at such an inappropriate time of year. This temple burned a lot of incense today, most of which were sent by Huang Chenming yesterday in the name of Wan Lianxing. Wan Lianxing was using the fan in his hand to drive away the lingering incense.

Huang Chenming didn’t know Wan Lianxing yet. The smoke here was a little thick, but not so thick that he couldn’t open his eyes. Wan Lianxing was simply not interested in anything here, so he ignored it and didn’t want to look at it any more. He asked him now because he was bored.

“How many days will this ceremony last?”

"Seven days, my Lord."

"Not bad, not bad, then I don't have to come every day, right?"

Huang Chenming said: "It would be best if you come and listen for a while every day."

Wan Lianxing said, "Mingming, that's not what you said yesterday."

Huang Chenming said, "My Lord, this is a great opportunity to promote you. In the next few days, people from all over Fengying will come here to burn incense after hearing the news."

Wan Lianxing said: "This is not promoting me, this is clearly promoting Buddhism."

Huang Chenming said: "It may seem different, but it is actually the same. It will be beneficial to the future of the Marquis."

Wan Lianxing said, "I am here, but Mingming, we have already lit incense, donated money, and listened to the sutras. Can we go back today?"
