After rebirth, I became a national teacher

After thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"I will go to the Shangshu Mansion in person."

*

Madam Li looked at the doctor in front of her with suspicion:

"You mean, you can't do anything about my grandson's illness, but the Taoist temple called Cihang Temple can cure it?"

She has been in Nandu City for so many years, but she has never heard of the reputation of Cihang Temple.

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Doctor Zhou could only bring up what happened in the Censorate as evidence.

"You can go to the Censorate and ask around and you'll find out. Old Madam Yuan was indeed critically ill a few days ago. When she came back from leaving the city that night, she was already well again."

After saying this, he pleaded again with a worried look on his face, "The Yuan family told us to keep this a secret that day. I had no choice but to tell you. Please don't let anyone know. If Cihang Temple asks about it, please don't say it was me who leaked it!"

Old Madam Li waved her hand impatiently and sent him off to take care of her beloved grandson.

He immediately sent people to the Censorate to find out the truth.

When people came back, it was already evening.

After having a great time outside all day, Master Li came to inquire about his son's condition as soon as he returned home.

Hearing his mother talking about Cihang Temple, Master Li stroked his beard and said with a profound look:

"Mountain medicine, fortune-telling and divination are all from the same family. It's not surprising that some Taoists know medicine."

Although Madam Li's eldest son did not achieve any success in officialdom, he was much more knowledgeable than the women in the inner court.

After receiving her son's affirmation, Mrs. Li immediately said:

"Then my daughter-in-law and I will take Gui Ge'er up the mountain to the Cihang Temple to seek medical treatment tomorrow! We must ask the Cihang Temple to cure Gui Ge'er!"

Upon hearing this, Master Li immediately frowned in disapproval:

"Mother is so anxious! How can Gui go to the mountains to get some fresh air when he has caught a cold?"

"Besides, we are not a high-ranking official in the Shangshu Mansion. There is no need for us to come here in person. They are just a group of Taoist nuns in a rural Taoist temple. We can just ask a servant to ask them to come and treat Gui'er."

Madam Li smiled and said:

"I was so focused on curing Gui'er's illness that I forgot about this. It would be too much of an honor for them to come personally. I will send someone to ask them to come to the Shangshu Mansion immediately to treat Gui'er's illness."

Having said that, without caring about the inconvenience of traveling so late at night, he immediately called a well-respected maid named Jiang to come in and give instructions on the matter.

People like the Li family have never taken ordinary people seriously.

On that freezing night, Nanny Jiang was ordered by her master to go to a distant mountain to invite someone. The journey was cold, dark and bumpy, so she was naturally full of resentment.

Of course, there won’t be any good attitude when you come to Cihang Temple.

After knocking on the door of the Taoist temple and introducing himself, he said arrogantly:

"My young master Sun has caught a cold and is seriously ill. I heard that your Taoist temple can treat him. Please ask the Taoist nun who knows medicine to come with me immediately!"

The last time the female Taoist priests at Cihang Temple encountered such an arrogant person was when it was the wet nurse of the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan.

However, later even the Marquis of Jingnan and his wife knelt down for three days to apologize for this, so what did this nanny from the Shangshu Mansion count for?

"Wait, I'll go inform the hall master first."

After saying that, he closed the door and isolated the people outside.

Nanny Jiang was so angry that she almost died.

The gatekeeper Kun Dao informed Hui An, who then reported back to Chen Qing Zhu.

Chen Qingzhu naturally refused without hesitation:

"Tell them that Cihang Temple never provides medical treatment to outsiders. If you want to seek treatment at Cihang Temple, please find out the rules clearly before coming."

Thinking of the last time Huiming was slapped twice by Madam Liu, she added,

"Bring a few more people with you to meet them. If they want to pester you or start a fight, don't be polite with them."

If it were any other mansion, Chen Qingzhu might not be so rude, but she did not have a good impression of Minister Li's family.

Li Qianhu's brother-in-law, Minister Qian, is a capable subordinate of Minister Li.

In this purge of Minister Qian, Minister Li sacrificed his own chariot to save his own chariot, and the Li family was not implicated.

In fact, it was at most a case of lax discipline or oversight. If the emperor were to let him off the hook, he would only be fined a year or two.

But this does not mean that the Li family is innocent.

Although it is not known whether the Li family colluded with the Japanese pirates, they also did a lot of evil in terms of exploiting the people and robbing their property.

Hui'an took the order and took people to convey Chen Qingzhu's order.

Being rejected in such a high-handed manner, the people in Minister Li's mansion were naturally unwilling to give up, as they were known for their overbearing style.

"If you don't give Madam Shangshu face, do you still want to open this Taoist temple? I advise you to think carefully before you speak!"

Nanny Jiang threatened directly.

Hui An and the others were naturally not afraid at all, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

"Cihang Temple has its own rules. If you want to ask Cihang Temple to do something, even if the Shangshu comes in person, you have to abide by the rules."

Seeing that they were outnumbered and holding sticks in their hands, Nanny Jiang did not dare to act rashly. She said a few harsh words and took her people back to the Shangshu Mansion.

He reported Cihang Temple's reply to Madam Li with exaggeration.

Old Madam Li had never expected that there would be someone in the Southern Capital who would dare to be so disrespectful to the Shangshu Mansion.

I was so angry that I slapped the coffee table:

"Well, these Taoist nuns are really bold!"

"Tell Li Da to bring dozens of people. Even if we have to kidnap her, bring the Taoist nun who can heal illnesses to me!"

As for the crime of disrespecting the Shangshu Mansion, she would naturally have to wait until her grandson's illness was cured before she could settle the case.
