Qing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how considerate and caring she was, she was just a maid, not as good as having Chen, her mother, by her side.

When the second wife came over with Chen, Qing Yuan hurried over to greet them.

The second wife introduced Qing Yuan to Chen: "She is the head maid in the Third Master's house. She has been serving the Third Master since she was a child. She studied with Mr. Shu, who is by the Third Master's side. She is an indispensable person by the Third Master's side."

Lift Qingyuan very highly.

Chen did not dare to neglect her and quickly called her "Miss" with a smile and thanked her for helping to take care of Yu Tang.

Qing Yuan did not dare to be arrogant and responded to Chen respectfully. In just a few words, she told her that Yu Tang did not know that she had fainted.

Chen listened and nodded secretly.

No wonder the Second Wife thinks so highly of this Miss Qingyuan. She is indeed a smart person, and everything she says and does is flawless.

Therefore, she and the second wife went into the meditation room without mentioning what had just happened.

Chen held Yu Tang's hand and looked at her for a long time. Seeing that Yu Tang was in good spirits, she was relieved and asked her, "Child, if you were not feeling well, you should have told me earlier. Look at you, you suddenly fainted. Not to mention me, even the old An ladies were scared by you. When you get better, remember to pay your respects to the old An ladies. Especially old An Pei, she took your pulse when you fainted! And the second wife personally sent you to the meditation room."

As for her own affairs, she decided not to tell Yu Tang for the time being, and wait until she was sure that Yu Tang was okay before telling her.

Only then did Yu Tang realize that Mr. Pei also knew medicine, and the Second Wife also helped her a lot after she fainted.

She was ashamed.

For her sake, Pei Yan announced to the public that she was not feeling well and fainted due to chest tightness and shortness of breath, but Lao An was sure to know that she was frightened.

Just as her mother said, she should go and thank Mr. An.

And the second wife.

Yu Tang hurriedly thanked the second wife.

The second wife accepted her gift with a smile, and seeing that there was nothing else to do here, she stood up and said goodbye to Chen's mother and daughter: "It's almost noon, and I have to serve lunch to a few old An ladies, so I won't disturb you to rest. I will come to see you after I finish my business over there."

Chen and Yu Tang felt very embarrassed for delaying the Second Madam's business, so they saw her off.

Qing Yuan took the opportunity to instruct the maid to pack up the things used by Yu Tang, and asked someone to carry a sedan chair over to send Yu Tang and Chen back to the room where they stayed in Zhaoming Temple. She also helped to take care of Yu Tang and arranged lunch. Shuang Tao, who had been sent to see Yu Wen, received the news and hurried over.

Chen looked at her and dragged her out the door. She glanced at Yu Tang who was talking to Qing Yuan, and then asked her in a low voice: "Does the master know that the young lady fainted?"

Shuang Tao shook her head repeatedly, panting, "When the old master and the first and second masters arrived at the Dharma Hall, they did not see the third master, and they specifically asked about it. Most of the people on the third master's side were probably told by the third master to go out for something. The old master knew that the young lady and you were accompanying Mrs. Pei, and the palace was full of female relatives, so he did not want to greet Mrs. Pei, so he asked a maid to go in and tell you. The maid came out and only said that you and the young lady would have lunch with Mrs. Pei later, and we would talk about it in the evening. It happened that Mr. Wu and his men also arrived, so the old master did not ask again. I still saw that the old master did not need my service, and when I returned to the East Hall, I learned that the young lady had fainted and was sent back."

Chen said "Amitābha" upon hearing this. Fortunately, the Pei family responded appropriately, otherwise, who knows how anxious Yu Wen would be when he knew that Yu Tang had fainted.

Chen asked, "Did the donation to the donation box go smoothly?"

"All goes well!" Knowing that Yu Tang was just feeling unwell, Shuang Tao felt relieved and spoke about this matter with great joy, "The things donated by our family this time have become a big hit. As soon as they were brought up, they were noticed by Master Song, who even had someone bring them over for him to take a closer look. He then told the eldest master that he wanted to order a few boxes from us! The eldest master was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He said that the eldest master had a good fortune and brought wealth to the family since he was born. He also said that he would ask the incompetent master for a lucky charm for the eldest master later!"

Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Uncle is such a strict and well-behaved person, but when he looks at his grandson, his heart melts and he can always attribute all good things to his grandson.

Fortunately, the child was still young, and for fear that he might be frightened, my eldest sister-in-law and Xiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left at home to take care of the child. Otherwise, my eldest uncle would definitely have brought the child to the lecture.

When Shuang Tao said this, her eyes rolled and she said, "Madam, is there anything else? If not, I want to go see Miss."

She cares about Yu Tang. Mrs. Chen can only be happy and will definitely not stop her: "Go ahead! No matter how good Qingyuan is, he is also someone close to the third master. You might as well help him out."

Shuang Tao went to Yu Tang happily and whispered to Yu Tang: "It's a pity that you are not here. When Miss Gu found out that the lecture would no longer have each family display their donated gifts, her face changed. But Miss Wu was a straightforward person and asked Miss Gu what was wrong!"

Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan kept his word and was not worried about the donation. She was more concerned about the incense of Ku'an Temple.

Shuang Tao's eyes sparkled with excitement. She said, "Of course, it became as popular as our donation box. Especially the sandalwood-scented Buddhist incense, which is not sandalwood but smells like sandalwood. Everyone is asking where the Ku'an Temple is and how such a good-smelling incense can be made. Immediately, the head wife of a country gentleman called the people from the Ku'an Temple over and asked what kinds of Buddhist incense the temple has and how much each one sells for. In my opinion, the Buddhist incense from the Ku'an Temple will become famous. The young lady's efforts have not been in vain."

Yu Tang nodded, thinking that it would be better if Gu Xi knew that the Buddhist incense came from her.

Unfortunately, Gu Xi may never know.

Shuang Tao asked about Yu Tang's fainting again: "Are you really okay?"

"With the Third Master here, what can happen to me?" Just as Yu Tang was speaking, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wei came in together.

Chen went out to greet him personally.

Mrs. Wu took Mrs. Chen and looked her over, saying, "I heard you were not feeling well? What happened? Did you see a doctor? Mrs. Wei and I went back to the room for lunch and found out you had fainted. I scolded the maids who stayed there. They didn't tell us about such a serious incident."

Mrs. Wei also nodded beside her.

Chen said hurriedly, "I told them. You guys finally came to the seminar, and you can't let my matter ruin everyone's fun. Besides, I just have a little chest tightness and shortness of breath, it's not a big deal, so I didn't tell you. If you don't believe me, you can take a look, I'm fine now, right?"

She didn't want her daughter to become the focus of public discussion, and couldn't think of a good excuse, so she used Yu Tang's illness.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu did not suspect anything. Seeing that Mrs. Chen's face was rosy and she did not look uncomfortable, they felt relieved.

Chen thanked Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wei for their kindness. Thinking about how the maids from the Wu and Wei families who stayed in the bridal chamber had taken good care of them after she arrived, and knowing that they only had homemade dry food for lunch because of their inconvenient living conditions, she sincerely invited them to have lunch together.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu thought that they had spent most of the morning dealing with donations, and Master Wuneng would officially start his lecture in the afternoon. Neither of them wanted to miss the opportunity to listen to the great monk's explanation of the scriptures, so after thinking it over, they decided not to be polite with Mrs. Chen and decided to stay for lunch.

Qing Yuan asked someone to send over a few dishes.

When they sat down at the table, they found that it was already full of food, which was Zhaoming Temple's signature vegetarian dishes.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wei were very surprised, especially Mrs. Wu, who pointed to the fist-sized buns on the table and said, "I ate the plain buns in Zhaoming Temple three years ago when I came there. The plain buns in Zhaoming Temple are becoming increasingly hard to find now."

The vegetarian buns at Zhaoming Temple are made with vegetables, radishes and tofu grown by the masters of Zhaoming Temple. Because Zhaoming Temple has very good spring water, the tofu made here is more delicate, fragrant and smooth than that made by others, and you can't buy it anywhere else. The vegetarian buns are also particularly delicious. Because the masters in the temple are short of manpower, the amount of tofu made is limited, and there is not much tofu to make vegetarian buns. As the incense of Zhaoming Temple becomes more and more prosperous, the vegetarian buns are becoming more and more famous, and more and more people come to buy the buns. The vegetarian buns have long been hard to find. Usually some people get up in the middle of the night and run to Zhaoming Temple to buy buns.

Mrs. Wei laughed and said, "I did eat it during the Chinese New Year. I asked someone to buy it for me. The errand fee was two taels of silver. So, one bun cost about fifty coins."

Mrs. Wu was shocked.

Mrs. Wei laughed and said, "Isn't my fourth daughter-in-law pregnant? She vomits everything she eats. I have no choice. No matter how rich I am, I can't do this!"

Mrs. Wu laughed and asked Mrs. Wei who she asked to buy the buns: "Maybe one day you'll have to ask someone to buy buns for you."

Mrs. Wei smiled and said, "They are the Qu brothers from Banqiao Town! They are quite trustworthy, but their prices are a bit expensive."

Yu Tang was shocked. He never thought that the Qu brothers were involved in all kinds of business, even such a business as queuing people to buy buns.

Mrs. Chen looked at the large plate of buns, which one person could not finish. Thinking of Mr. Wei, Wei Xiaochuan and Mr. Wu who stayed in their respective rooms, she asked someone to pack up the remaining buns and asked Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu, who had finished their lunch, to take them to Mr. Wu and the others: "Since they are rare, everyone should have a taste."

If it was something else, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wei would have refused it. However, they thought that the buns were a specialty of Zhaoming Temple, and eating a few of them while they were there was also a way to remember the past. So they did not refuse, thanked Chen generously, and returned to their residence with the buns. When they left, they said to Chen, "Have a good rest. We will come to see you in the evening."

Chen smiled and saw the two of them out.

The second wife came over after lunch.

Seeing her forehead covered in sweat, Chen felt very sorry and said, "Please don't worry about us. Atang has already taken the medicine and the doctor said it's nothing serious. How can we let you run around like this?"

The second wife took a small box and handed it to Chen, saying, "I was asked by Old An to deliver the medicine."

Chen was stunned, then her eyes became wet.
