Chapter 11 Sister-in-law is Reborn (Ten)
"Dad, Mom, our sweet baby is getting bigger and bigger, and his appearance is getting more and more beautiful."
Li Xiuniang returned home, hung up the washed clothes, washed the caught fish, and stewed it with a few pieces of tofu.
After finishing all these, she carried Gu Qingcheng to find Gu Dahai and his wife.
She briefly recounted the incident of several children surrounding Gu Qingcheng, and then said with a hint of worry, "No matter how well we protect her, there will always be people coming up to her—"
Neither Gu Dahai nor Zhao were fools. Although Li Xiuniang did not mention Gu Qingcheng's "stupidity", they could both understand what the other party meant.
In the past three years, they rarely let their baby interact with people in the village. If they met him occasionally, they would just say hello.
With just a quick glance or two, it would be hard for outsiders to tell that Guaibao is not very smart.
However, if you come into contact with it more often, you will always find something unusual.
By then, outsiders will laugh at and despise their good child.
A little girl, so silly and beautiful... Just thinking about it with her toes would make Gu Dahai and Zhao Shi tremble with fear.
As my daughter grew older, her slow reaction symptoms became more and more obvious.
Gu Dahai and Zhao no longer had any hope: their daughter was a little fool, and she didn't get any smarter when she grew up.
The couple felt both distressed and worried.
What they fear most is that their daughter will suffer malice and harm from the outside world because of her mental retardation.
So, when she heard Li Xiuniang bring up this matter on her own initiative, Zhao, who had always been mean to her "daughter-in-law", did not blame Li Xiuniang for not taking good care of the child and letting the naughty kid bully her own good baby.
Zhao was full of worry, and there were obvious vertical wrinkles on her forehead from frequent frowning.
She took the little girl from Li Xiuniang and gently held her in her arms.
Where Gu Qingcheng couldn't see, she shed tears silently: Woo woo, my dear, what will you do in the future!
The Gu family had no money or power, so it was extremely difficult for them to protect their silly little daughter.
Now their daughter is six years old, and only four years old, and they are already in such a dilemma. What should they do when she grows up? Gu Dahai is a man and the head of the family. He is also worried, but he is calmer.
He looked at Li Xiuniang inquiringly, "Xiuniang, I know you are a smart child. You came to me and your mother on purpose. Do you have an idea?"
Li Xiuniang secretly gave her father-in-law a thumbs up in her heart.
She knew that in the Gu family, her father-in-law was the most sensible and knowledgeable.
If he hadn't died in his previous life, with him keeping an eye on them, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law wouldn't have been so bad.
In this life, with Li Xiuniang around, she will definitely help her father-in-law escape death.
The idea that Li Xiuniang came up with could not only help Gu Qingcheng, but also save her father-in-law, which was definitely killing two birds with one stone.
"Dad, I do have an idea."
Li Xiuniang is not a very smart or powerful person, but she has the memory of two lifetimes, which is her greatest golden finger.
She remembered a "strange thing" in her previous life -
"Dad, last time I went to town to buy something for Guaibao, I heard some news."
"There is a Taoist master who has come to our county. I heard that she came from the capital and was a noble person in the capital before she became a nun."
"This Qingmiao Zhenren is not only proficient in Taoism, but also good at medicine. He is kind-hearted, compassionate, and merciful."
"Even the county magistrate wants to send his daughter to serve the real master. He doesn't even want to become his disciple, he just wants her to stay with him for a few days, at least to become more noble."
Li Xiuniang's words were half true and half false.
True Man Qingmiao is from the capital city and he does have abilities, that's true.
But at this moment, people in the county didn't know her background.
It was even more impossible for a county magistrate to send his pampered daughter to a Taoist temple to serve others.
Zhenren Qingmiao had just arrived in the county, and people around her didn't know where she came from.
She was kindhearted and perhaps wanted to relieve some boredom, so she adopted several orphans from farming families or poor homeless women.
Either teach them to read or teach them medical skills, so that they can have a skill.
A few years later, nobles from the capital came from afar to ask her for help. Only then did people in the county know that this Qingmiao Zhenren was of noble birth and had superb medical skills. Even the saints and empresses in the palace respected her a little.
And the poor girls she educated instantly doubled their worth.
Not to mention the officials and wealthy families in the county, even the masters in the provincial capital were scrambling to grab the goods.
Either they seek marriage for their sons or nephews, or they invite her home to be a teacher or tutor.
Afterwards, Qingmiao Zhenren's Qingfeng Temple became a famous "girls' school" in the surrounding area.
As long as you stay in Qingfeng Temple for a period of time, and if you have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Qingmiao Zhenren, your worth will double!
It has become the most legendary wonder in the local area!
Li Xiuniang combined the memories of her previous life and carefully calculated the time, deducing that Taoist Qingmiao had just arrived in the county and was quietly planning to build the Qingfeng Temple.
True Man Qingmiao is the most compassionate, and he has just arrived and has no great reputation yet.
The Gu family is poor, Gu Dahai and Zhao will also beg for mercy, plus Gu Qingcheng is so pretty, oh no, so pitiful——
Li Xiuniang felt that Master Qingmiao should accept Gu Qingcheng.
As long as she is gilded by the real person, even if outsiders find out that Gu Qingcheng is a fool in the future, they will not treat her poorly.
Besides, their good boy is not really stupid, he is just slow to react.
Every time Li Xiuniang saw Guaibao’s clear, bright big eyes, she would doubt: It is said that a person’s eyes are bright and his mind is clear. Guaibao’s eyes are so beautiful, how could he be a fool?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Maybe, Guaibao just doesn't understand! When he comes before the Three Pure Ones and is "enlightened" by the real master, maybe Guaibao will understand.
"Really? Even the county magistrate's daughter wants to go?"
Zhao was moved.
Gu Dahai was also hesitating.
Li Xiuniang: ...
Well, she exaggerated slightly.
It is true that a young lady from the county magistrate's family went to Qingfeng Temple.
However, the girl was not sent by the county magistrate himself, but by his original wife's daughter. Unable to bear the abuse from her stepmother, she secretly came to Qingmiao Zhenren for help.
The immortal felt sorry for her and thought she was smart, so he kept her.
A few years later, the "identity" of Master Qingmiao was exposed, and the young lady married into the capital city with the status of Master's registered disciple.
This only made her stepmother and half-sister jealous.
The county magistrate was both proud and regretful: he should have sent his other daughters there as well.
...The reason doesn't matter, as long as it's true.
"No hurry, I'll go to that Taoist temple and ask around first!"
Gu Dahai was tempted, but he still felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to be more cautious.
"Dad is the most thoughtful one!"
"Well! Gou'er's father, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. There is not much work in the fields these days, so you can go to the county."
"Okay! I'll go tomorrow!" Although they had already planned to go hunting in the mountains, their daughter's business was more important! Li Xiuniang was not surprised at all when she heard what Gu Dahai said.
She was certain that her father-in-law loved his sister-in-law the most, so she chose to bring up this matter at this time.
My father-in-law went to Qingfeng Temple in the southern suburbs of the county to inquire about the news, so naturally he would not go to the mountains.
If he hadn't gone into the mountains, he wouldn't have encountered the tiger and lost his life.
…
Three days later, Gu Dahai escaped his destined death and returned safely from the county.
"Xiuniang heard correctly. There is indeed a Qingmiao Zhenren in Qingfeng Temple. There is a little girl following her. She is indeed the daughter of the county magistrate. I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the original wife."
Gu Dahai was very excited that his daughter’s future was finally settled.
Li Xiuniang was also very excited. Although she knew that Master Qingfeng was kind-hearted and would probably keep her after knowing her sister-in-law's situation.
But to be on the safe side, Li Xiuniang prepared some exquisite food in advance.
In my previous life, I vaguely heard that Master Qingfeng had no other hobbies except food.
Li Xiuniang used her special skills to cook several of her signature dishes.
However, when they arrived at Qingfeng Temple, before Li Xiuniang could take out the "gift", she heard Qingfeng Zhenren say with a smile: "This child is so good-looking, are you willing to be my apprentice?"
He was not a registered disciple, nor a servant, but the only disciple.
Li Xiuniang's numb face: ...This master of noble birth and superb medical skills is actually a senior face control? !
