but……

His tone was still very disdainful:

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are all predestined by heaven. How can we bow down to a petty person like the master of Cihang Temple just to continue to live?"

If Yuan Songbo was afraid of death, how could he have insisted on reform back then, and how could he have refused to surrender after the current emperor seized power.

In fact, Old Madam Yuan did not think that her husband's political views in the court were wrong.

The only thing she couldn't accept was that because of his persistence, his family had sacrificed too much.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer:

"Okay, you are noble and you are amazing! When you are dying of illness one day, don't even think about asking the abbot to save you!"

How could she not know that if her old man handed over the question book, even if she paid enough offerings, Mo Niang's face would return to normal.

Why does she burn incense and offer sacrifices so diligently?

Isn't it just to impress the Cihang Temple with sincerity, hoping that when the old man gets sick one day, he will ask the temple master for help.

But this damn old man didn't understand her good intentions at all!

As expected, Censor Yuan said proudly:

"Needless to say, even if I die, I will never beg her for mercy!"

Old Madam Yuan couldn't bear to see his stubborn attitude, so she walked away in anger.

Little did they know that the iron-willed Censor Yuan would be slapped in the face just a few months later for his seriously ill and dying wife.

This is a story for later, so I won’t discuss it for now.

*

The wealthy wives who had come here originally for beauty treatments had originally planned to wait for the visitor to make themselves ten years younger before giving their husbands a surprise.

Therefore, they did not tell the head of the family about their offerings to Cihang Temple these days.

But after what happened today, I can no longer hide it.

After all, they all saw with their own eyes today that Cihang Temple can not only restore youth and beautify people in a very short period of time, but can also cure diseases and save lives.

Beauty and skin care are just a side hustle that women are obsessed with, but curing diseases and saving lives are things that all powerful men can use.

This is a major matter that deserves the family's high attention.

You can't let your husband hear about this from other people.

After returning home, everyone excitedly told the head of the family about this.

Not surprisingly, every head of the family regretted not getting the bottle of nectar at that time, and some even scolded their wives:

"We are both here to offer sacrifices, but why do you only care about your face? Qin Dafu's wife was able to win over the abbot of Cihang Temple so well?"

This made his wife very embarrassed, and she could only make excuses:

"That's because the Qin family went there earlier and are more familiar with the master."

"In this case, you should redouble your efforts to fill this gap as soon as possible and become a popular figure in front of the master!"

Although some of the words sound nice and some sound bad, the heads of the family basically mean the same thing:

Increase the intensity of your offerings, and go to Cihang Temple whenever you have nothing to do to get familiar with the crowd. Make sure you become a devout believer as soon as possible and get the immortal dew as a reward from the abbot.

Only the situation of the Chamber of Commerce President Du Zongquan's family is different.

He hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Madam, can you think of a way to get another bottle of celestial dew from Cihang Temple?"

Mrs. Du was a little puzzled:

"Why, is there any emergency?"

Du Zongquan said:

"Isn't this a coincidence? I just received a letter from Second Mother today, saying that the only son of General Zheng under the Admiral has contracted tuberculosis. He has been seeking medical treatment for a year or two, but his condition is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid his life is in danger."

The Du family's business is deeply involved with the grain transport industry, so they will focus on pleasing Admiral Caojiang and his officials.

Although General Zheng was not as powerful as Admiral Caojiang, he was still one of the most powerful generals under his command.

Now he is a third-rank official, guarding the most prosperous town of Yangzhou, and is one of the people Du Zongquan needs to please.

The reason why he knew this so clearly was because he gave his second daughter to the governor of Yangzhou as a concubine.

Du Erniang was also a person who knew how to please others. When she went to the prefect's house, although she was not favored much, she won the favor of the prefect's wife, who always took her with her to serve her when she went to banquets.

Therefore, Du Erniang was able to bring him a lot of news about the Yangzhou officialdom that no one else knew.

When he received the letter, he was thinking that if he could find a good doctor or a good prescription for General Zheng's only son, it would be a life-saving grace.

General Zheng didn't know how much he should thank himself.

This is more useful than marrying off any number of daughters or giving any amount of silver.

Now, isn't this good luck from God coming to him?

Madam Du said, "Then I will go to Cihang Temple and try again tomorrow."

"Don't be stingy with the money, just take 10,000 taels and quietly go find the Taoist nun in charge to buy it. Money can make people's hearts flutter. I don't believe they won't find a way for you!"

Du Zongquan specifically reminded him.
