Chapter 89
She and King Huan did not meet by chance.
So it’s no wonder that the people in Chixiang Temple made such arrangements.
The dignified King Huan, a small temple, dare to violate his wishes?
When Lin Yunwan went to find Long Gong, she didn't blame the abbot.
"Grandma Lu, the eldest young master of your house writes really well in regular script."
It was praised by the abbot himself.
Lin Yunwan had already guessed what he was going to say. She smiled and told Taoye: "Donate some sesame oil money for the eldest young master."
Taoye gave away a small bag of silver.
The young novice monk next to the abbot came to collect it.
Lin Yunwan took the opportunity to ask the abbot: "Did Sakyamuni really dream about spiders and geckos?"
The abbot was stunned, thinking that he was not good at studying and missed something.
Lin Yunwan understood immediately.
Any attempt to meditate with the abbot is all fake.
She told the abbot, "It's nothing. I heard a story from the countryside and mentioned it casually. The abbot doesn't need to take it seriously."
Lin Yunwan said goodbye to the abbot and was going back with Lu Changgong.
The novice came to see them off.
Perhaps for the sake of money, I even said a lot of nice words about longevity and longevity this time.
Lu Changgong was very concerned about the silver, and joked to himself: "My son's handwriting is now worth a lot of money, and every word on his abbreviation is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
It's a pity that my mother spent money to buy it. It would be best if someone else spent money to buy his calligraphy for my mother.
Lin Yunwan couldn't help laughing.
She patted his shoulder: "When did you start to be reluctant to spend money?"
Lu Changgong blushed.
He argued: "My son is not stingy..."
He didn't want his mother to spend money on him.
Lin Yunwan said: "There will be a lot of money spent on this kind of thing in the future. Rewarding them is as important as rewarding the people. Although the people in the temple are not ordinary people, they usually make friends with many powerful people. You don't know them. Privately, I have a good relationship with whichever house I have."
"I would rather spend more money than offend them."
This is what she has learned after being a housewife for twenty years.
Lu Changgong listened carefully, nodded and said, "My son understands."
There are so many things to pay attention to when dealing with people in a wealthy clan.
He looked at Lin Yunwan's face and thought happily that fortunately he had a mother.
I went back to the wing, originally planning to leave again tomorrow.
It snowed heavily that night, and before dawn the next day, the temple began to deliver vegetarian meals for the servants to eat first.
Lin Yunwan hadn't woken up yet. When she woke up, she heard Pingye say: "Grandma, the road is closed. The people in the temple have gone down to clear the snow, and we can't leave now."
I made an agreement with the government to go back today.
And she can’t leave, and neither can King Huan!
Lin Yunwan frowned and asked, "When can I leave?"
Pingye said: "It will be tomorrow at the earliest. You eat first."
Lin Yunwan nodded and asked Lu Changgong to come over and have breakfast together.
Lu Changgong was not idle. He got up earlier than Lin Yunwan and endorsed the book in the room.
He didn't bring any paper or pen, so he just wrote on the table with his fingers.
I didn't stop until I came over for dinner.
Lin Yunwan had no intention of going out to worship Buddha today, so she stayed in her room all day.
Early the next morning, Zhike came over and said, "The road has been cleared and can be used."
They are very considerate in their speech and will not say "you can go" to the guests which sounds like chasing them away.
Lin Yunwan rewarded him with a few dollars, then ordered his servants to pack up their things and return to Wudinghou Mansion.
It’s time for King Huan to leave...
When I was going down the mountain, I saw the marks left by the predecessors, and I knew that he must have left before dawn, and he was traveling lightly. At first glance, he didn't intend to alarm many people.
I'm afraid only she and the abbot of Chixiang Temple knew that King Tianhuan also came to the temple the day before yesterday.
Back at Wudinghou Mansion, Lin Yunwan started to take care of Lu Changgong's living in the backyard.
"Go and ask Mother Yuan to come over."
She already has a suitable candidate in mind, and has been examining it for a while. Now she plans to talk to Yuan's mother in person.
Mother Yuan came over. Although Lin Yunwan didn't care about the house, she still called out politely: "Grandma."
"Mom comes in and talks."
Mother Yuan picked up the curtain and entered the innermost room. The furnishings in the grandma's room were just like her character, steady and grand. I don't know what kind of incense was smoked in the room. It had a faint smell, but it seemed like it came from There is a natural feeling exuded from the things that grandma used every day.
She took one look at it, then quickly lowered her head and asked, "What do you think of grandma seeing this slave?"
Lin Yunwan took the first step and said: "The long bow is big, I have to choose someone to serve him."
Mother Yuan was happy, but she didn't dare to show it.
She still lowered her head and said with a smile: "I wonder what I can do to help Grandma? Do you want me to train a few girls or..."
But she knew in her heart that the eldest grandma specially called her here, how could she just ask her to help train the maid?
Sure enough, I heard Lin Yunwan say: "Your daughter-in-law is doing a good job. I want her to be the mother in charge of the Longbow Room in the future."
"I haven't chosen any of the boys in the front yard. I should send some of them away and pick some smart ones. Your grandson happens to be about the same age as Chang Gong. I remember he is also a smart boy. If you want him to serve, longbow……"
"My slave is willing!"
Mother Yuan bent down and replied: "Grandma likes our children, that's her blessing!"
Lin Yunwan nodded and said, "You have agreed with your daughter-in-law and son to bring them to see me."
Mother Yuan is eager to go now.
Wudinghou Mansion is no longer what it used to be! Who doesn't know that Young Master Changgong is the hope of the house. If her daughter-in-law and grandson can serve the Young Master, then they will have a bright future!
Lin Yunwan told her: "You and Tao Ye, together with the new girls who have been trained in the house, are slightly older than Chang Gong, bring a few to me to see."
"yes."
Lin Yunwan said specifically: "Don't be frivolous. Look carefully. If you are not old enough, you have thoughts that you shouldn't have...I will hold you accountable when the time comes."
"Don't worry, Grandma! I will definitely not choose that girl who is ambitious and doesn't care about life and death."
Lin Yunwan added: "You can do the same thing to the second young master as the long bow."
She no longer cares about the family, but she cannot escape her responsibilities as a legitimate mother.
But there's no need for her to worry about it.
How could Mother Yuan not understand?
She smiled and said: "Grandma, don't worry, slaves and slaves are all experienced."
After going out, she called her daughter-in-law to discuss two important matters for the young masters. She said to her daughter-in-law in private: "What can we do? How can Master Qing, a bastard raised by a mother-in-law, be compared to Master Changgong, the eldest son?" !”
"Just pick a few people to serve him. Just don't make the old lady and uncle angry."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided to do it after discussion.
Lu Zhengliu came back after dark and was very drunk.
Mrs. Lu was furious when she heard this the next day, and lost her temper with Yan's mother: "He went out to drink again yesterday? Call him over!"
Yan's mother said: "...The uncle has taken the boy out now."
Mrs. Lu was confused.
Her body was just right, and she was almost mad to death!
He said with a cold face: "This is the reason why I started drinking to drown my sorrows!"
"Sigh. Do the Lu family really have to rely on the Longbow in the future?"
After all, he is not his own child.
Yan's mother comforted the old lady: "Don't worry too much, I'm not that confused. Maybe he went out to do something important?"
Mrs. Lu didn't believe it and said to Yan's mother: "When he comes back, ask him to come over to see me as soon as possible."
Lu Zhengliu went to Jialing Tower to drink with others.
This is one of the best restaurants in the capital.
Yan's mother was right, he didn't come out to play.
"Sir, please come in."
He entered the private room and entertained his guests very politely.
Two people followed on the stairs. Qi Lingheng and Zhang Cifu went upstairs side by side.
"The rice wine in Jialinglou is very good. You should try it later."
Qi Lingheng mentioned the wine here and looked like a regular at Jialing Tower.
Zhang Cifu said politely: "I must try what you recommended."
The two of them were talking and laughing, but before entering the room, they always said irrelevant things and were very cautious.
