A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 23

    After all, these monks were found by Wu Junru, even if Xiao Ying didn’t like the rebelliousness of the eldest son, she would not just listen to it. He summoned his entourage and instructed: “Xiang An, I remember that Anguo Temple is also doing things today. You bring my official talisman and go to Anguo Temple to invite a master over.”

    “Yes.”

    After a while, Xiang An trotted all the way back, he whispered a word in Xiao Ying’s ear, Xiao Ying was shocked, and immediately walked outside to greet: “It turned out to be Mingjue of Qingyuan Temple. The master is here, please come in!”

    Master Mingjue is a famous Taoist monk. He has profound knowledge and profound Dharma. A few years ago, he was rubbed by the emperor, half persuaded, half robbed, and invited back to Chang’an. Originally, the emperor planned to enshrine the master in Anguo Temple, but Mingjue thought that Chang’an was too noisy and was not conducive to cultivation, so he insisted not to enter Chang’an. The emperor couldn’t, so he had to place Mingjue in Qingyuan Temple. Qingyuan Temple is located on Zhongnan Mountain, opposite to Chang’an. It can not only meditate and worship Buddha here, but also facilitate access to Chang’an. It is a good thing for Mingjue and the emperor, and Master Mingjue has no further refusal.

    Xiao Ying didn’t expect that Master Mingjue would be invited over for this Anguo Temple practice, and he didn’t expect Master Mingjue to come to the Hou Mansion in person. He was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly went out.

    Xiao Jingduo stood under the eaves, watching Xiao Ying respectfully guide a monk with a benevolent face to go inside. He was silently relieved, it seemed that this was a high-ranking monk, and he should not be bought by Wu Junru. Today’s event is over.

     But when Master Mingjue walked to the threshold of the study, he suddenly stopped and refused to go inside. He looked at Xiao Jingduo across the door of the study, and then he lowered his head, put his hands together, and said in a long voice, “Amitabha.”

    “Master?”

     “This little benefactor has killed too much, and the poor monk is inconvenient to go inside, so he will retire.”

    Xiao Jingduo raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Wu Junru also glanced at Master Mingjue in surprise: “Master, are you serious?”

    “Don’t be rude!” Xiao Ying shouted. He looked back at Xiao Jingduo, with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, and then he turned around and continued to respectfully send Mingjue outside the mansion.

    Too heavy to kill? Xiao Jingduo was surprised, how is this possible? It is absurd that the great monk of the dignified Qingyuan Temple would say such headless words.

      I am afraid that the family will not be conducive to the official career of Hou Ye. In my opinion, if I send him to a Buddhist temple, let the Buddha come to kill his evil spirits, just as he wants to keep filial piety, Hou Ye, look at it, this can be done in one fell swoop!”

    When Wu Junru said this, she did not avoid Xiao Jingduo at all. In fact, there is no need to evade. Xiao Jingduo is very aware of Xiao Ying’s character. Once it is determined that someone will endanger his power, Xiao Ying will immediately strangle the signs, leaving no room for the slightest, and Xiao Jingduo will obviously not be an exception.

    He didn’t want to listen any more and turned his head away.

    In a courtyard in the southwest of Dingyonghou’s mansion, a young girl was lying on the bed and woke up leisurely.

    Cheng Huizhen opened her eyes, and was confused for a while before she realized it. She looked at her immature hand, and could hardly believe what she saw: “I, reborn?”

    Xiao Su heard movement in the house, and quickly lifted the curtain and came in. As soon as Xiao Su entered the room, she saw Cheng Huizhen staring blankly at her hand, as if she had been stunned, and Xiao Su’s tears came down at that time: “Azhen, how are you, don’t scare Auntie!”

    “Auntie?” Cheng Huizhen turned her head to look at Xiao Su, her expression still stunned. Xiao Su was so frightened that she hugged Cheng Huizhen and cried: “The thief girl who killed a thousand knives in the second room dares to push you. If you have three strengths and two weaknesses, I will never let her go!”

    Cheng Huizhen rubbed her forehead, but she couldn’t understand where it was. “Auntie, how old is it now?”

    “The second year of Qiyuan, why are you asking this?”

    “Are we in the Hou Mansion?”

    Xiao Su was even more surprised: “Yes, Ah Zhen, what’s wrong with you?”

    “Dingyong Marquis Mansion or Chengxi Marquis Mansion?”

    “Azhen, are you a fool? We are now in your uncle’s house, the Dingyong Marquis Mansion, and there is no Chengxi Marquis Mansion in Chang’an.”

    No Chengxihou Mansion? How could it be possible, that was the famous Chaopin Marquis, the only title in Chang’an that could be hereditary and irreplaceable, and even many palaces couldn’t compare to the scenery of Chengxi Marquis’s Mansion. Cheng Huizhen smiled bitterly, but unfortunately, all the glory of Chengxihou has nothing to do with her.

    Following Xiao Su’s words, Cheng Huizhen slowly recalled the current situation, yes, she remembered that when she first came to her uncle’s house, she and Xiao Yuli had a conflict over jewelry, and Xiao Yuli pushed her hard With one hand, she accidentally knocked on a stone, and was in a coma for a long time before waking up. It turned out that she was reborn until she was seven years old.

    I’m only seven years old, it’s good, many things have time to change. Cheng Huizhen was a little ecstatic, she couldn’t believe that such a good thing actually happened to her for a while. Cheng Huizhen was stunned for a moment, and she was shocked. She grabbed Xiao Su’s arm, her fingernails almost digging into Xiao Su’s flesh: “Auntie, is the eldest cousin still at your uncle’s house now?”

    “Where is he now?” Cheng Huizhen asked eagerly, not even caring about the injury on her forehead. She finally managed to do it all over again, this time, she must hug her thighs!

    Speaking of which, Cheng Huizhen also felt wronged. In her previous life, she put her treasure on the son born by Wu Junru and never paid attention to Xiao Jingduo. Lang Jun Xiao Jingduo is already an abandoned son, but who would have thought that he was the one who really developed in the end!

    Unfortunately, it was too late at that time, Cheng Huizhen could only watch as she missed Qianlong and missed the glory and wealth. Now that she is back, she will never do anything wrong again. She remembers that Xiao Jingduo had a hard time when he was a teenager. she.

    No, it’s not enough to be Xiao Jingduo’s benefactor. She and Xiao Jingduo are only three years apart, and they are cousins. If she uses a little snack, the future Mrs. Chengxihou will become her bag. The thing in? Cheng Huizhen became more and more excited the more she thought about it. That’s right, that’s how it was. After all, she was a married person. It was not easy for her to deal with Xiao Jingduo when she was young.

    Cheng Huizhen became anxious, for fear of being robbed first, she shook Xiao Su’s hand vigorously, raised her head and asked, “Aniang, where is the eldest cousin now?”

    “You asked him what he did, he was ordered too hard by the master, and staying in the mansion would hinder the family’s house. Your uncle has already discussed sending him to the temple.”

      In her previous life, she only knew how to compete with Xiao Yuli and Xiao Yumang for clothes and jewelry. He ever saw this poor cousin, but now Cheng Hui has changed her mind. She wants to befriend Xiao Jingduo since she was a child and be his light in the darkness. Fire in a desperate situation, when Xiao Jingduo develops, she can be Mrs. Chengxihou!

    After she made up her mind, Cheng Huizhen couldn’t wait for almost a moment. Now is the best time. If she goes to beg her uncle and let Xiao Jingduo stay in the Hou’s mansion, she doesn’t have to go to the temple to suffer. How much should Xiao Jingduo be grateful to her? Moreover, when Xiao Jingduo stayed in the mansion, she could also seize the time to develop a relationship with Xiao Jingduo, which was simply a double-edged sword! Cheng Huizhen lifted the quilt and was about to go outside immediately, Xiao Su looked at her inexplicably: “What are you going to do? Do you want to see that tough cousin? My son, don’t be stupid, hurry up It’s serious business to please your aunt Wu Junru. Sigh, Ah Zhen, where are you going…”

    Cheng Hui really hurriedly tried to brush Xiao Jingduo’s favor, but she searched around, Qing Zeyuan and the study, and did not see Xiao Jingduo.

    “Where is the eldest cousin?” Cheng Huizhen muttered to herself.

    Xiao Jingduo didn’t know that people all over the world were looking for him, he was sitting alone on a tree, looking into the distance absentmindedly.

    This tree is planted in the corner, just across the back street. Sitting on a tree branch, people can see through Hou’s mansion, through the square wall, and all the way to the tall city wall of Chang’an, but no matter how far they are, they can’t see it. Whenever Xiao Jingduo is in a bad mood, he likes to climb trees, sitting on a high tree, it seems that the troubles of the world are far away from him, he doesn’t have to bear the hatred of his mother, and he doesn’t have to face the unpredictable future.

    Now Xiao Ying is discussing with Wu Junru about throwing him into that temple, Xiao Jingduo can imagine that the last temple he goes to must be remote and unoccupied, like a prison of the living dead. Sadly, he could have foreseen the future, but there was nothing he could do about it.

    Xiao Jingduo once again doubted himself, can he really change his fate? Fighting against Xiao Ying and Wu Junru is simply too difficult for him now. He even thought that maybe what Qiu Ju said was right, others were soft-spoken and trying to fight against Xiao Ying was a joke.

    Xiao Jingduo was in a heavy heart, he snapped off a branch and threw it into the street in a bored way.

    Xiao Jingduo threw **** on the street gloomily, he thought as he threw it, fortunately there was no one on the street now, otherwise, the grumpy Chang’an people would definitely come and scold him.

    Whose horse didn’t shut up properly and ran out?

    As the horse approached step by step, Xiao Jingduo was stunned, he straightened up suddenly, and his expression became serious. No, this is a shock, and the person on the horse is in danger!
