After rebirth, I became a national teacher

In their hearts, the status of Cihang Temple is obviously higher than that of the outsider Jingnan Marquis' Mansion.

"My dear teacher, I want to thank you for providing me with the information about the miracle doctor."

"But now things are difficult to handle. You must have heard about the feud between the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion and the Cihang Temple. I am afraid that the temple master is unwilling to help Brother Jin."

Zhang Jinghong's smile became warmer and he looked at his teacher Qiao expectantly.

He remembered that the intelligence obtained by the Zhang family's investigation said that Qin Dafu was very familiar with the Taoist nuns in Cihang Temple.

It can be seen that he has a say in Cihang Temple.

This scholar has a close relationship with Qin Dafu, and we will definitely be able to find a breakthrough through him.

How could Master Qiao not see that Lord Zhang had been convinced by what he had said? He was extremely impressed by the abilities of the abbot of Cihang Temple and could not help but feel secretly delighted.

But he began to ask for benefits in a tactful way:

"I feel sorry for what happened to Master Pei, but if you ask the believers, you will know that it is extremely difficult to ask the temple master to take action once..."

Zhang Jinghong has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch and that all benefits require a price.

"what do you want?"

He was impatient to beat around the bush with such a young scholar, so he asked directly.

Teacher Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then directly stated his request:

"The student wants to be your disciple!"

Zhang Jinghong squinted at him, and he seemed to have a big appetite.

I don’t know if this is what Qin Dafu meant.

Although he was willing to pay a high price for Jin Ge'er's illness, he still tried his best not to affect his official career under certain conditions.

He remembered that this candidate seemed to be ranked last, and his character was unknown. As the leader of the Zhang family of this generation, he could not just accept a student and bring disgrace to the family.

Teacher Qiao felt a little guilty after being looked at, and was about to back off, but then he heard Zhang Jinghong say:

"If you can't become my disciple, you can ask my third brother to accept you as his disciple."

The Zhang family has produced several Jinshi (imperial examination) scholars over several generations. Qiao Shiyou also knows Zhang Jinghong's third brother. Although he does not hold a higher position than Zhang Jinghong, he is now a distinguished Hanlin. He was a first-class scholar in the second class of the imperial examination.

Being able to become his disciple is something that many candidates wish for but cannot achieve.

"Thank you, Master!"

Teacher Qiao said excitedly.

He originally thought that even if he helped cure the young master of the Pei family, he could at most gain the favor of a benefactor. It would still be difficult to become his disciple, and he needed to find another way.

I never expected things to go so smoothly.

"Don't thank me yet. I will keep my promise after Jin Ge'er is cured!"

"Teacher, rest assured, I will do my best to make this happen! Just wait for good news!"

On the way back, Teacher Qiao's face was flushed with excitement.

He had already thought of a plan for this matter, and it would definitely succeed.

It won’t be long before he becomes Zhang Hanlin’s student, and his future will be bright from then on!

When Teacher Qiao returned home, he once again humbled himself to coax Zhenniang, saying that he ignored and took his anger out on her because he failed the exam, and promised not to do that again next time.

He also made big promises to her, saying that when she passed the imperial examination and became an official in the future, he would grant her an imperial decree and make her extremely honorable.

Although Zhenniang was badly hurt by him, she was spoiled by her parents since she was a child. She was kind-hearted and liked to think about others. Soon she smiled again and no longer cared.

Qiao felt that he had coaxed her into submission, so he prayed solemnly:

"Madam, can we think of a way to deal with the incident with the legitimate young master of the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion last time?"

Zhenniang's heart, which had just been warmed up, suddenly cooled down.

The smile on her face faded a little:

"Husband, didn't I tell you that you can't do that? Dad..."

Teacher Qiao interrupted her and said:

"My wife, please listen to me first. My method will never make things difficult for my father-in-law."

"My cousin's family has a grandson who is about the same age. When the time comes, we will say that the legitimate young master of the Pei family is my cousin's grandson. Tell your father and Cihang Temple this."
