Volume 1 Chapter 105 Master

  Luo Zhenxing grumbled in dissatisfaction and didn't mention Shining again.

  The big lady was going to host the banquet, Wu Niang and Shiyi Niang, Liu Yiniang and several others served in front of the old lady for half a day. The old lady looked at the people in the house, her expression improved a lot.

  Sixth Aunt secretly told Old Master: "Old Madame's illness won't get better for a while, and with Eldest Sister-in-law busy running around every day, why not bring over the few sisters to take care of Old Madame? With more people in the house, it'll be livelier, and Old Madame's mood will also improve."

  The old master nodded and said, "What you say also makes sense."

  Just then, Mrs. Sanniang arrived.

  Everyone was somewhat surprised.

  "It's the third wife of the San Tai." Wu Niang said suddenly.

  Luo Zhenxing's face was slightly displeased: "How can we let someone invite Third Aunt to visit Mother!"

  "Of course, it wasn't intentional." Wu Niang couldn't help but feel a bit pleased. "Yu Ge and Kai Ge are leaving, so I made each of them an autumn coat, planning to send them over in the next two days. Early this morning, my husband sent someone to deliver the coats. Then he casually mentioned that his mother was ill, and he needed to return home to care for her, probably wouldn't have time to see Yu Ge and Kai Ge off, and asked San Shu not to mind. San Shu understood."

  Luo Zhenxing shook his head: "This is a good son." As he spoke, he led Da Nai, Wu Niang and Shi Yi Niang to welcome him.

  Third Madame's face was anxious: "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Behind her were Luo Zhenyu and Luo Zhenkai.

  Lu Zhenxing accompanied Third Madam into the house while briefly telling her about First Madam's situation.

  Third Madame couldn't help but sigh: "This wind stroke can't be rushed, it can only be nursed."

  Luo Zhenxing nodded, and a group of people entered the inner room.

  The big wife saw three wives and their family, and her eyes were slightly moist.

  The third wife sat down beside her on a small stool to comfort her. After talking for a while, the first wife showed signs of fatigue, and everyone retreated to the next room again.

  Dai brought tea for San Tai Tai, and San Tai Tai said: "I've already sent someone to inform Er Sao. It's just that Qiuniang's wedding is approaching, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back."

  Luo Zhenxing hastily said: "I'm afraid I've kept both aunts waiting."

  Third Madame also politely declined a few words, then came up with an idea: "...I heard that the original Hanlin Academy's Zhou gentleman also got this symptom, and later found a famous doctor in Taiyuan to cure it. At that time, I just listened casually and didn't pay attention, but when I went back, I sent someone to ask about it."

  Mrs. Three nodded and took note of what was said. As it approached noon, she busied herself arranging lunch. Everyone gathered together to eat. Mrs. Three wanted to go back and pack her clothes, taking Luo Zhenyu and Luo Zhenkai with her.

  Eleventh Sister saw Third Wife out the door and took the opportunity to ask her: "Is Mr. Chao planning on staying in Shanxi as a resident scholar?"

  Third Aunt shook her head: "Just helping to send Ruyu Ge and Kai Ge. It's been seven or eight years since they've returned home, so they want to take this opportunity to go back to their hometown."

  Eleventh girl nodded and sent away the third lady, then went to find Luo Zhenxing: "... Brother Yun is now being raised by the old lady. Enlightenment is also a matter of this year or next year. It just so happens that the young master and second master on the other side are making progress in their studies and want to find a Western teacher to set up a private school. I think it's time for Brother Yun to study with his three brothers. Thinking of finding him a better teacher, who can guide him in both learning and character. I heard from Third Aunt that Mr. Zhao, who was hired exclusively by Ruyi and Kai, sent two people back to their hometown after they were sent away, but it's unknown what kind of person he is. If it's feasible, we can recommend him to the marquis. In the future, Brother Yun will also have someone to rely on."

  "Eleventh sister's idea is excellent." Luo Zhenxing nodded repeatedly, "But I don't know how good Mr. Zhao's learning is? I'm afraid the young master's requirements are high. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been delayed until now."

  "I also know." Eleventh Sister sighed, "We have to try anyway. To be honest, whether Brother Jun is close to me or not is secondary, I'm just afraid that he's young and naive, with people around him who only flatter him, which will ruin his character."

  Luo Zhenxing also understood in his heart. As long as Jun Ge didn't do anything outrageous, his future prospects would be bright and smooth. But hearing Shi Yigong's words, he was shocked: "What did Jun Ge say?"

  "That's all there is." Eleventh Sister sighed, "He just hides whenever he runs into me. He's also at the residence of the elder madam, and for now, I couldn't find a reason. It can only be done slowly."

  "Don't worry, I'll take care of this!" He made the decision immediately. "I will write to both Second Uncle and Third Uncle, and make sure to find a good husband for Jun Ge." As he said this, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had just remembered something. "Also, tell Hou Ye about the two aunts' situation. Father has agreed to let them become nuns at Ci Yuan Temple."

  Eleventh Girl was worried: "Should we make an appointment with the two aunts to recite the Three Chapters of Law? Otherwise, when the time comes, there will be no restraint and they will be unscrupulous." She also told Luo Zhenxing about Xu Lingyi's mention of the two golden Buddhas at Ciyuan Temple donated by Madame Jianninghou and Madame Shouchangbo.

  Luo Zhenxing fell into deep thought.

  Qian Ming has arrived.

  Luo Zhenxing was at a loss for what to do, so he told Qian Ming everything that Shiyi Niang had said.

  Qian Ming smiled and said, "Eleventh Aunt's concerns are not unreasonable. I think, although we have already agreed to the two aunts leaving home, we can't agree too readily. Let's drag it out for a while in Ji'ning. When the time comes, we'll bring up some more demands. I'm sure Ji'ning will agree. We can't just let the two aunts leave like this!"

  Luo Zhenxing thought Qian Ming's method was good, so he discussed with Qian Ming how to deal with Jining.

  Xu Lingyi has arrived.

  Eleventh Sister couldn't help but glance at the funnel beside her.

  Xu Lingyi Shenzheng Xia Yai, this is just the beginning...

  As soon as she had an idea, she went out to welcome them. Accompanying Xu Lingyi to pay respects to the old master, everyone sat down to discuss the two aunts' decision to become nuns.

  Unlike earlier when everyone could speak freely in a small scope, at this time, only men have the right to speak.

  Dai's wife and Wu Niang, along with Shiyi Niang, helped serve tea and snacks, then retreated to the main hall.

  Sixth Aunt asked if Big Nai was still going back to Yuhang at the same time as before.

  The captain said: "The ship has already been fixed."

  Sixth Aunt then smiled and said: "In that case, I'll go help Master pack his luggage."

  The big girl nodded and smiled at Eleven: "Is there anything you'd like me to bring back for you, miss?"

  "Some medicine and clothes, that's all." said the eleventh daughter-in-law, "Tomorrow I'll have Dongqing send them over. Please trouble Sixth Aunt to pass them on to Fifth Aunt, so she can take a leisurely trip to Yanjing."

  The sixth aunt smiled and backed away with her knees bent.

  The fifth daughter's face turned slightly red, and she said in a low voice to her elder sister-in-law: "Elder sister, I won't be going back. I'll stay in Yanjing to take care of my illness."

  "Wait a minute... Could it be that you..."

  Eleventh Sister thought of Fifth Sister eating only plain white rice earlier and had some suspicions, so she couldn't help but look at Fifth Sister.

  Wu Niang's face turned red as if she could bleed, and she lowered her head: "I just knew!" Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

  "Oh!" said Dai Nai with a delighted expression, "This is great news!"

  Qian Ming and Wu Niang are no longer young. Shi Niang was also happy for the two: "Wu Niang, congratulations."

  The fifth daughter glanced at the eleventh daughter with a flirtatious smile like a May flower: "What do you know?"

  The eleventh daughter covered her sleeve and smiled.

  "How much time is left?" She said again, "Don't come tomorrow, be careful not to stir up the fetal energy."

  The fifth daughter's face was like a dawn cloud: "It's just getting started. Let me be careful too."

  Big sister just pulled Fifth Sister aside and whispered something in her ear.

  The eleventh girl smiled on one side.

  Maybe there's something to say, time flies especially fast. On that side, Luo Zhenxing and Qian Ming saw Xu Lingyi off.

  The three women outside all stood up.

  Xu Lingyi's expression remained faint, and he said to Qian Mingdao: "......This matter will trouble Zichun!"

  Qian Ming's eyes flashed with a look of being favored, and he hastily made a bow, saying: "With Master Hou as my backer, I have the confidence to do this errand, and I don't think anything big will go wrong!" As he spoke, he smiled at Xu Lingyi.

  Xu Lingyi's face also had a few smiles.

  " Fifth sister, eleventh sister, it's getting late, you should head back too!"

  Eleventh daughter knew they had all agreed, and went with Fifth daughter to see the elder lady, then went to the elder gentleman's place to bid farewell, and followed Xu Lingyi onto the carriage.

  The two of them each got into their own car and returned to the Xu residence. Since it was still early, they first went back to their rooms to change clothes.

  Xu Lingyi took the opportunity to say to Shiyi Niang, "My intention is that since both aunts have made up their minds to become nuns at Ciyuan Temple and Jining is willing to take charge of this matter, there must be some reason behind it that we are not aware of. These family affairs often involve public and private opinions, and getting entangled in them cannot solve anything. Why not think of a way that satisfies both parties? Let the two aunts become nuns at Ciyuan Temple, with their daily expenses provided by us, and have nothing to do with the temple's miscellaneous affairs. In this way, the two aunts can focus on Buddhist teachings and seek enlightenment early."

  I don't know why, but Xu Lingyi's last words "Early seek the great way" made Eleventh Lady think of the phrase "Die early and escape early"... It's also unclear whether he was referring to the two aunts or himself - if he could resolve things quickly, he could also escape quickly!

  She couldn't help but laugh with her sleeve covering her mouth.

  Xu Lingyi was shocked.

  The eleventh girl put away her smile and said seriously: "It's still better to follow Master Hou's method. You don't know, before you came, we siblings discussed it for half a day but couldn't come up with a plan. We just felt that this wasn't good, that wasn't good..."

  Xu Lingyi gazed at Shiyi Niang's sparkling eyes and slightly flushed cheeks, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: Who would believe such nonsense!

  Although I think so, but don't know why, there is a faint joy overflowing in my heart.

  Xu Lingyi thought that Luo Zhenxing was too straightforward, while Qian Ming was more tactful in handling matters, so he handed over the task of discussing conditions with Jining to him.

  Wu Niang, being pregnant and inconvenient, on the 18th of September, when Luo Zhenyu and Luo Zhenkai left, Zi Wei sent some food over. Shi Niang also didn't go in person, but sent someone with a gift of 50 taels of silver, two sets of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and told Luo Zhenxing about Master Zhao's matter: "I've already talked to San Shu about this. Originally, she also wanted Master Zhao to teach Yu Ge and Kai Ge at home for a few more years, but unexpectedly, Liu Ge Lao let the two go to Shanxi. In her heart, she felt sorry for Master Zhao, if they could go to your house, that would be best. I also mentioned it to Master Zhao, he said 'to receive someone's trust and fulfill their wishes', with a polite decline and an unenthusiastic tone. It's just that the hope of success is not great!"

  The eleventh girl was also somewhat disappointed: "Originally didn't know if he met the young master's requirements... Now it's even harder to find."

  Lu Zhenxing comforted her with two sentences: "Yanjing has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, we'll search carefully again."

  The two of them chatted for a few sentences and then went to see the lady.

  Everyone at home told the old lady that the two aunts had been put in prison, and now they were just waiting for trial. The old lady's spirit improved a lot, and she could say a few simple words. Eleventh sister saw Da Nai and Xu Mama taking care of her very carefully, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  I owe a lot of debt, but please believe that I, Chee Chee, will definitely pay it back... Hehe...
