Qin Yining didn't like Fairy Liu's words.
Why did she talk about money? Her eyes were shrewd and her smile was unscrupulous. She didn't look like a monk at all. Instead, she was more like a businessman than Master Zhong, and a profiteer.
She couldn't help but worry about Tang Meng. Tang Meng had lived here for half a year. Would she be mistreated by the unscrupulous abbey dean?
Unexpectedly, Tang Meng threw herself into Fairy Liu's arms with a smile on her face and called out sweetly, "Master."
"Oh, it's Jing Zhen. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? "
"Master, I'm doing very well. Miss Qin took me in and I'll follow her from now on. She's a pure and kind person and will definitely treat me well. Master can rest assured."
Hearing this, Fairy Liu looked at Qin Yining, who was behind Duchess Ding.
Being stared at by her sparkling eyes, Qin Yining felt uncomfortable all over. He always felt that in her eyes, he was a commodity waiting to be sold at a high price, as if she was evaluating how much he could be sold for.
Fairy Liu stared at Qin Yining, and the young man beside her also looked over casually. The entourage behind him even blinked his big eyes. Obviously, he was very curious about Duchess Ding and the others.
Qin Yining raised his eyes and met the young man's gaze. He felt a little ashamed and annoyed.
This man looked gentle, but he didn't know how to be polite. If there were women here, even if the abbey dean didn't drive them away, those who were really polite should avoid them. How could he still stare at her?
Fairy Liu acted as if she didn't see it. She said with a smile, "I have a bad memory. When I saw the old madam bring such a beautiful lady here, I was so busy talking that I forgot to ask you to sit down. Come on, please sit down. "As she spoke, she led Duchess Ding to the round chair on the right, opposite to the young man.
Qin Yining stood respectfully behind Duchess Ding.
Tang Meng stood beside Fairy Liu with the other two Taoist nuns. They looked intimate, holding Fairy Liu's arm and not letting go.
Seeing Tang Meng's behavior, Qin Yining's impression of this shameless abbey dean changed a little.
Tang Meng wasn't stupid. If this person didn't treat her well, why would she be so intimate with her? It seemed that Fairy Liu wasn't necessarily a bad person. Perhaps she was judging people based on their appearance.
Duchess Ding started chatting with Fairy Liu. They only exchanged some greetings and gossip.
At this time, anyone who had the slightest bit of foresight would avoid it.
However, the young master remained seated at the side, fiddling with the porcelain bowl in his hand, occasionally taking a sip of tea. He had no intention of leaving at all.
Duchess Ding had always known Xiangu Liu's temperament. She knew that Xiangu Liu wouldn't chase him away when she said that he was her master. Moreover, she wasn't familiar with him, so it wasn't good for her to chase him away.
Helplessly, he could only swallow his anger and turn around to look at Qin Yining.
Qin Yining understood and said, "Master Liu, we are here for Jing Zhen's return to the secular world. Please release her certificate so that she can follow me in the future."
Fairy Liu's eyes sparkled, and her round face smiled like a flower. "Immeasurable Lord! This young lady seems to be a fated person. However, Jing Zhen has been cultivating in our Taoist temple these days. We have put in a lot of effort! "
Fairy Liu began to count with her fingers and said, "You all know Jing Zhen's background. Although our Fairy Temple avoids the troubles of the mortal world, there are still people from the mortal world who come to make trouble. Do you know how many hardships we have suffered in order to take care of Jing Zhen? We have been worried sick. Jing Zhen, don't you think so? "
Tang Meng nodded seriously. "Yes, if it weren't for Master's protection, I wouldn't be here today."
"That's right!" Hearing Tang Meng's words, Fairy Liu became more energetic. "Moreover, in the past six months, whether it is food or clothing, we have never mistreated Jing Zhen. We have never been willing to let her do any hard work. Not to mention other things, I have arranged for people to take care of Jing Zhen. Jing Zhen, don't you think Master is right?"
"Yes, Master has also arranged for two little apprentice-nephews to accompany me."
"Therefore, my small Taoist temple has really put in a lot of effort for Jing Zhen. I have to bear the pressure and worry. During this period of time, I have been worried and scared. Even the old Taoist nun has lost four or five pounds."
How could Qin Yining not understand Fairy Liu's unscrupulous economic questions? He immediately smiled and said, "I deeply admire your kindness. Moreover, Jing Zhen's family in the mortal world has indeed been wronged. Today, I have come to help Jing Zhen return to the mortal world so that I can take her with me in the future. Secondly, I would like to perform the 49 days of the Ritual of Resolving Grievances and Praying for Blessings for the entire Tang family."
As she spoke, Qin Yining took out a few banknotes from her sleeves. She stepped forward slowly and presented them with both hands. She said with a smile, "Here are banknotes worth 400 taels of silver. I'll send someone to deliver the remaining 1600 taels of silver to you later. Please take care of the Rite of Resolving Grievances and Praying for Blessings. You and I are both thinking for Jingzhen. This is also for Jingzhen's future."
When Qin Yining brought the banknotes to her, Fairy Liu's expression immediately changed. Before Qin Yining finished speaking, she had already said "yes" and "good" a few times. Finally, she nodded and said, "This humble Daoist sees that Miss is a kind and benevolent person. I can rest assured with Jingzhen by your side. This humble Daoist still has to go to the Daoist Records Department to take care of the identity certificate. When it is done, I will definitely give Miss a definite message."
In this dynasty, Daoists couldn't become monks just because they wanted to. They had to have a certificate issued by the Daoist Records Department to prove their identity as a Daoist. If they wanted to return to the secular world, they naturally had to go through a certain process.
Qin Yining understood and said, "In that case, I will have to trouble you, Abbey Dean."
"Not at all, not at all." Fairy Liu held the banknotes in her hand. Her eyes were shining and crow's feet were squeezed out of the corners of her eyes. She took Tang Meng's hand and said, "This girl is kind and sincere to you. You can follow her in the future."
Tang Meng smiled awkwardly, but she nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Master."
Fairy Liu looked at the banknotes again and clicked her tongue twice. She said with a smile, "Look at this. It's like I'm giving alms to you."
"Abbey Dean, what are you talking about?" Seeing that Qin Yining had handled this matter so generously, Duchess Ding said, "Giving alms is also our merit. Since this girl has the heart, it means that her good karma has arrived. Fairy Liu is her karma to accumulate merit. She can exchange the worldly things in the mortal world for merit to protect her for a lifetime. In terms of 'giving and receiving', I'm afraid this girl has gained more."
"Old Madam is really a person with wisdom." Fairy Liu nodded with a smile. She was finally willing to put away the banknotes. She made a few gestures with her fingers and then said jokingly, "I see that Old Madam's mountain root is dark and sunken. I'm afraid that something will happen in the mansion recently. Can I have a look at Old Madam's palm? "
Qin Yining found it funny when she saw how serious Fairy Liu was. Fairy Liu was giving alms to her, and now she was giving it to her grandmother?
However, Duchess Ding leaned forward with a smile and stretched out her hands.
After taking a closer look, Fairy Liu said with a solemn expression, "Supreme Taiyi Tianzun! Old Madam, please listen to me. In less than two months, there will be a bloody disaster in the mansion. I'm afraid the situation is extremely bad. "
Qin Yining frowned when he heard this.
Even the young master and his entourage had a solemn look on their faces.
Duchess Ding's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly asked, "Where is the disaster? Fairy Liu just said that my mountain root is dark and sunken, but my master … "
Fairy Liu quickly made a few gestures, shook her head, and sighed again. "It's time and fate. If Old Madam is willing to accumulate good karma, there may be a chance for the mansion to survive. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a disaster of extermination. "
These words were too harsh.
Qin Yining couldn't help but doubt his thoughts just now. Wasn't Fairy Liu doing alms for charity?
How could she say such harsh words when she was giving alms to others? At most, a bloody disaster was enough to make people feel cold in their hearts. Why did she say that it would be a disaster of extermination?
Could it be that she really saw something?
Duchess Ding's face was a little tense. In fact, her heart had been hanging in the air for the past few years. The war between Da Zhou and Dayan was getting fiercer and fiercer, and they were getting closer and closer to the capital. She always felt that her family was being roasted on the fire, afraid that something would happen one day.
In such a day of treading on thin ice, Fairy Liu's words of "bloody disaster, extermination" made Duchess Ding's heart turn cold.
She took a deep breath and said, "When I came out today, I didn't bring too much money with me. I would like to ask Xian Gu to perform a forty-nine day ritual for my family. When I return, I will order someone to send two thousand taels of silver over. It can be considered as forming a good karma for the Sun family when I have the ability."
Fairy Liu nodded. She didn't look as greedy as before. Instead, she smiled at Qin Yining and said, "Miss, come here. I'll take a look for you."
Qin Yining naturally wouldn't refuse. She smiled and walked to Fairy Liu's side.
Fairy Liu first carefully looked at Qin Yining's face, then took her hand and pinched it. Then she looked at her hands and smiled. "Miss, you are a person of great luck. Although your fate is bumpy, you can always turn misfortunes into blessings. Your ears are higher than your eyebrows, and your oval cheeks are enough to show that you have lived a rich life. Moreover, your marriage is very good, and your red star has already moved."
As Fairy Liu spoke, she smiled and glanced at the young man who had been listening silently from the corner of her eye.
The young man didn't seem to feel it and continued to drink tea.
Qin Yining was a little embarrassed.
Was this Fairy Liu reliable or not? How could she say such words in front of a man? She decided to think that Fairy Liu was blackmailing her just now!
However, Fairy Liu smiled and pushed Qin Yining to Duchess Ding. "Madame, this granddaughter of yours is very kind and has good luck. Maybe your good fate and a glimmer of hope are in this girl."
Duchess Ding hugged Qin Yining and patted her hand comfortingly. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Fairy Liu. My granddaughter is indeed very good."
She stood up and said, "Since we're here today, we have to look around. Go and burn incense for Progenitor Doumu and kowtow."
Fairy Liu smiled and said, "Madame and Miss, please do as you wish."
Duchess Ding smiled and took Qin Yining's hand to walk out.
At this moment, a little Taoist nun quickly walked in from outside. She bowed and said, "Master! Madame Yurou is here! "
