After Zimu left, Jia Baoyu became depressed.

The young master, who had been coaxed and spoiled by his sisters and elders since childhood, encountered repeated setbacks in front of his beautiful sister for the first time, and it was inevitable that he felt emotional.

His eyes, which were always full of brilliance, now dimmed and his face was full of loss.

The women in Rongguo Mansion were extremely anxious when they saw Jia Baoyu like this, but they were helpless.

Even when the old lady asked Zimu to stay for a while, Zimu didn't agree, let alone them.

They could only rack their brains and think of all kinds of ways to make Jia Baoyu happy, giving him delicious food and saying nice things, but Jia Baoyu still couldn't get interested.

Finally, the old lady spoke again, saying that she would let him see Zimu often. Only then did Jia Baoyu put away his emotions, and his eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw hope.

The head that had been drooping was raised up, with a satisfied and expectant smile on his face. He began to imagine the scene of seeing Zimu again.

Although the old lady agreed to her precious grandson, there were some things she could not decide.

-----------------

Zimu also knew that living in the small world of the feudal dynasty, entering the palace to meet the emperor was a very important matter and required careful preparation. Not only that, he also had to quickly learn the etiquette.

Since Jia Baoyu was making such a fuss, the Rongguo Mansion had no choice but to send someone to ask. The wet nurse Li calmly replied: "My girl is preparing to go to the palace to meet the emperor in a few days, so she will not go out for the next few days."

After returning, the servants of Rongguo Mansion carefully told their old lady exactly what Li had said.

Although they knew very well that any mistake in this mansion could lead to punishment, they did not dare to exaggerate.

After listening to this, Jia's mother nodded slightly and praised: "That's right, Yu'er did a good job."

......

At this time, in the Lin family mansion, Zimu was holding a cup of tea in his hand, but he was thinking about Lin Ruhai who was far away in Suzhou.

"Has the letter from the nurse to father been sent?"

When Zimu arrived in Kyoto, he was neglected by his grandmother's family and was not even allowed to enter the Rongguo Mansion. After returning to the Lin family's mansion in Kyoto, he hurriedly wrote a letter and sent it to Suzhou.

Li, the nurse, quickly replied, "Don't worry, young lady. The escort company will ride as fast as it can and travel by land all the way. I think your grandfather will receive your letter in a few days."

After hearing this, Zimu nodded slightly and said, "That's good."

Zimu knows very well that her every move may affect Lin Ruhai, and she always carries a heavy sense of responsibility in her heart.

Before she disappeared, Lin Daiyu wanted to escape from the deep pit of Rongguo Mansion, and she also wanted Lin Ruhai to live. This was not too difficult for Zimu, but...

Come to think of it, if Lin Ruhai were still alive, how could Lin Daiyu live so cautiously while living under someone else's roof?

At this time, the steward suddenly came to report: "Miss, there is a monk and a Taoist priest outside the mansion who are begging for alms...

"Manager Lin gave them some food and silver, and then sent them away."

Li frowned, thinking that the two men might be scammers, but her daughter was in good health, so no matter whether they were real or fake, she would just regard it as a good deed for her daughter.

"We were originally going to do this, but those two said they must see our girl, and that the girl would definitely meet them, so I came to report."

"The bald monk and the lame Taoist priest?"

"To answer the girl, yes."

"Drive out, drive that monk out."

There was a hint of anxiety and anger in Li's voice, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if the bald monk was a monster.

This monk went to the Lin family three years ago. At that time, the lady was still there and the monk shamelessly asked the girl to become a nun, otherwise she would have to never see relatives or friends with other surnames and never have to hear their crying for the rest of her life in order to live in peace.

I didn't expect that the bald monk would appear again today.

"Don't be angry, Nanny. Since he knows I'm in Kyoto and can find this place, it seems he has some skills. It doesn't hurt to meet him."

Zi Mu's tone was calm; she also wanted to see what this monk and Taoist priest were trying to do.

"But girl...

Wet nurse Mrs. Li was still a little worried. She frowned and felt uneasy.

She knew very well that the appearance of this monk and Taoist priest was no accident, and their purpose was difficult to understand.

"Nurse, there is nothing to worry about at the emperor's feet."

Zimu raised his chin slightly and looked into the distance.

There is a dragon vein in Kyoto City, and the emperor's majesty is enough to intimidate all the villains.

"Okay then, I'll listen to the girl." Li sighed helplessly. She knew that once her girl made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

She could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that this time the bald monk was not here to persuade the girl to become a nun.

Soon, Manager Lin brought the bald monk and the lame Taoist priest to the front hall.

Zi Mu sat upright in the main seat, looking indifferent and calmly looking at the two uninvited guests.

The bald-headed monk clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said, "Female donor, how are you?"

The lame Taoist also stroked his beard, smiled and nodded.

"Manager Lin, Nanny, please go down first. I have something to ask them alone."

"Girl, the old woman is accompanying the girl."

"Nanny, I think you two have some skills regarding my health. Maybe they know something. At least we need to know which immortal to burn incense to fulfill our wish."

"Okay, I'll just stay outside and watch over the girl."

Zimu smiled and nodded to Li.

Zi Mu glanced at them, and after a moment, he said in a cold voice: "You two can obviously practice properly through the right way, but you want to take a shortcut and practice by collecting merits."

The two of them looked a little unhappy after hearing what Zimu said. After all, if others knew their purpose, it meant that they also knew their origins.

"Buddhists have always been petty thieves and sneaky people. Some people know this, but you...what? You, an orthodox Xuanmen, have fallen to the point of calculating merits with Buddhists?"

Taoist Pozu was speechless after hearing Zimu's words, and he couldn't even maintain the smile on his face.

The bald monk and the Taoist priest Po Zu really couldn't figure out Zi Mu's origins. They only knew that the person in front of them was definitely not the Fairy Crimson Pearl.

After thinking for a moment, Taoist Po Zu carefully asked, "Why are you here? And where is Fairy Jiangzhu now?"

"Fellow Daoist... this name is really unfamiliar. I can tell you clearly that you will not get the merit this time, and there is no need to waste your energy. Go away."
