After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Mrs. Qin thought of Zhenniang's situation and couldn't help but sigh:

"I can only blame myself for not knowing how to judge people and for wanting to find a son-in-law with achievements for the Qin family. Now I am really afraid of the consequences."

A hint of coldness flashed across Qin Dafu's eyes:

"He is just a scholar, yet he dares to bully Zhenniang like this. Who knows what will happen if he becomes more successful in the future. Let's wait and see. If he really dares to be so ruthless, don't blame me, Qin Dafu, for ruining his future!"

The reason why Mrs. Qin chose Master Qiao was that she dreamed of having her daughter become the wife of an official.

On the other hand, Qin Dafu was not opposed to this kind of long-term investment, hoping that the Qin family would gradually have people of their own to rely on in the court.

But now it seems that they really chose the wrong person.

Rather than waiting for Master Qiao to pass the imperial examination and be appointed an official, and then be promoted to a position high enough to provide protection for the Qin family, it is better to be loyal to the abbot.

Now, as the most beloved followers of the temple master, no matter it is the Duke Dingguo, the co-governor, or the Censorate, all of them respect them highly.

The Qin family today is no longer something that a small scholar or juren can control.

Not to mention these commoners who have no official positions, even if the governor of Nandu, a fourth-rank official, came, he would not dare to exploit them as he did in the past.

Just as I was thinking about Cihang Temple, I heard a servant come to report:

"Master, someone outside brought a letter."

Qin Dafu took it and opened it, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Master, what happened?"

Qin Dafu dismissed his attendants and said:

"It's a letter from Taoist Master Huiyun. The abbot has ordered me to gather all the devout believers in Nandu City to go to Cihang Temple the day after tomorrow. He also pointed out that it would be best if someone in the family who can make the decision went."

Although this happened suddenly, it was inevitable that people would be confused, but Mrs. Qin did not ask any more questions and said directly:

"Then I will go tell my mother that we should split up and pass on the temple master's order as soon as possible."

Qin Dafu nodded.

The family of three immediately took action.

The Qin family is already well aware of the devout believers in Nandu City.

After all, those people are the first to arrive on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

These people also knew the status of Qin Dafu's family in the heart of the temple master. Therefore, even the doorman of the Dingguo Mansion did not dare to ignore the Qin family's post.

That afternoon, except for the Censorate, everyone was notified and in place.

Early in the morning of the third day, although it was raining and the mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk on, everyone gathered in the front hall of Cihang Temple before noon.

In addition to Qin Dafu and his wife, the men who came to several wealthy families were all masters of the house. Even Mrs. Yan had a middle-aged man with a high position of authority standing beside her, who was obviously Yan Tongzhi.

The Zeng family and the Duke Dingguo's family were represented by two old ladies, while the Zheng family was represented by Zheng Yuannai and his wife.

This was the first time that the temple master took the initiative to call on believers, and no one dared to ignore it.

Everyone looked at each other, secretly surprised at how seriously other families took Cihang Temple's orders.

Look, even Tongzhi Yan took leave even though it wasn't his day off.

However, no one was sure why the temple master suddenly called them together.

Someone tried to get some information from Qin Dafu.

Qin Dafu didn't know either, but that didn't stop him from expressing his opinion:

"Why think so much? If the temple master has any instructions, we should just follow them. Isn't this a great opportunity for us believers to show our sincerity?"

His loyal appearance made many people feel jealous in their hearts.

Damn, no wonder the Qin family is so favored by the master, look at how good they are at showing their loyalty.

I just regretted that I was too slow to react, which allowed Qin Dafu to show off his skills again.

It wasn't long before noon came. Huiyun came out, glanced at everyone, and said:

"Everyone, please follow me to the reception hall, where the master will see you."

Most people felt excited.

They have been in Cihang Temple for so long, but have never been invited to the reception hall, let alone meet the abbot in person.
