Chapter 25 Genius Mother
"This lady is very wealthy." Everyone couldn't help but compliment her.
This Buddhist rosary is an extremely precious item.
Pei Jiaojiao had been feeling depressed for many years, and at this moment, a hint of pride rose from her brows.
"My son is even better at studying. He passed the examination and became a scholar when he was only ten years old. He is seventeen this year and is engaged to Miss Jiang. Next year, he will take part in the provincial examination." Pei Jiaojiao glanced at Xu, whose face was pale, and felt very happy.
"Oh, the one she's betrothed to is the daughter of the Supreme Court Justice? A few days ago, I heard that she's betrothed to a talented young man."
"Is she the mother of the talented young master Lu Jinghuai?"
"So, he is the Madam's son?"
Pei Jiaojiao nodded slightly.
"Miss Jiang is really lucky. I heard that she was engaged when she was young, but her fiancé was unlucky and became a disabled person, paralyzed in bed, and needed someone to take care of his excrement and urine."
"Now we have another talented young man."
Pei Jiaojiao chuckled: "A good girl should marry a good man, of course. How can she be a match for a cripple like that?" She said with disdain.
Everyone became more and more excited. Lu Jinghuai passed the imperial examination at the age of ten and had the best chance of becoming the top scholar.
The new top scholar is thirty-three this year.
And Lu Jinghuai was only seventeen.
He will be the youngest number one scholar in Beizhao.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but show some kindness: "The brocade quilt on this baby is peace brocade, right?"
The peace brocade is a special item used by the Huguo Temple to protect babies.
It requires close relatives to kneel down on a thousand-step ladder and knock on the ground with each step to obtain it.
Pei Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
"This girl was born weak, but her husband loves her so much that he knelt down to beg for the peace brocade." Pei Jiaojiao touched her daughter's cheek.
At the beginning, when she was pregnant with her eldest son Lu Jinghuai, she tried her best to teach him.
Let him follow in the footsteps of Xu's eldest son, Lu Yanshu.
But Lu Yanshu is like a cloud in the sky, elusive and untouchable, so mortals can only look up to him but cannot compare with him.
That was her and her son's nightmare.
No one knows it better than her.
Because of Lu Yanshu, Lu Yuanze gradually wavered in his feelings towards Xu.
Lu Yanshu is too outstanding, so outstanding that a father can never give him up.
During that period of time, he even unconsciously hung the honor and disgrace of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion on that child's head. Her Jing Huai was forced by herself to chase Lu Yanshu since childhood.
He couldn't help it and secretly went to see the brilliant young man, and was shocked and upset.
I was completely devastated.
A serious illness.
fortunately……
Pei Jiaojiao curled the corners of her mouth slightly, fortunately, the little bastard has a bad fate. Just like a rainbow in the sky, stunning, yet fleeting.
Over the years, she did not dare to relax every day and forced her son Jing Huai to replace his position little by little.
However, Lu Yanshu had already become disabled and a disgrace to the Marquis's Mansion.
When her daughter was born, her treatment reached its peak.
The old lady treated her like a treasure, and the marquis loved her to the extreme.
At this moment, she touched her daughter's cheek and said, "She has been doted on by her father since she was young. When I was pregnant with her, I was greedy, so her father asked someone to send a basket of lychees from outside the Great Wall. Three horses died of hunger."
Xu's eyes dimmed slightly. She had also received a few lychees.
Lu Yuanze held it to her eagerly, and she felt like she had found a treasure.
The skin of the lychees is dry and the flesh is a bit sour. Ha, it turns out that they are leftovers from others!
"Madam is so lucky."
"This child, who has the prophecy from the abbot of Huguo Temple, will be very rich." Everyone couldn't help but come closer to take a look.
I wanted to praise the child for his good looks, but then I saw another fair, tender and delicate baby behind him.
In contrast to the two sides, the child in the Ping An brocade looks like a monkey.
The other party is like the little fairy boy under the seat of Guanyin.
I really can't praise it enough.
Lu Chaochao lay on the maid's shoulder and felt her mother trembling with anger, her little face wrinkled into a ball.
[Hmph, that blind old abbot, you'd better not keep his eyes! 】
【How blind you are】
Lu Chaochao’s eyes widened and he looked at the Buddhist beads in front of him.
"These 108 Buddhist beads have all been blessed by holy monks. No villain would dare to mess with them. It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, so no evil spirits would dare to get close, right?" Everyone became more envious.
Pei Jiaojiao is being sought after by everyone.
She didn't doubt Xu at all. After all, she and the Marquis had been together for seventeen years, and Xu hadn't noticed anything unusual.
Xu Shiyun, she trusts Lu Yuanze very much.
Lu Chaochao stared at the string of Buddhist beads. Others couldn't see it, but she saw it clearly.
Each of the 108 Buddhist beads is surrounded by a faint golden light and is a good thing that can truly protect people.
She just felt furious.
How can they match!
The abbot is getting old and confused!
[Old thing, old thing, you blind old thing, you are bullying my mother! 】
[Mother, the hairpin on her head is your dowry! Aaaaah, I'm so mad. 】
Xu was horrified when she heard this. The last time she scolded her own father, she even chopped off his hair.
Lu Chaochao mobilized a trace of spiritual energy and chopped straight towards the string of Buddhist beads.
Pei Jiaojiao was enjoying everyone's flattery when suddenly...
A crisp breaking sound was heard.
Everyone was stunned.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the string of Buddhist beads blessed by the Buddha's teachings suddenly broke into pieces and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The golden Buddhist beads shattered to the ground.
The golden light scattered, and the moment it hit the ground, it turned gray and lifeless.
"Hey, why did it suddenly crack? This is not a good sign!"
"The brilliance of the bead is gone." Everyone was shocked.
Someone picked up a bead and felt it was warm and shiny, with a faint golden glow. But now...
They turned into rotten wood.
With a gentle pinch, it broke into sawdust.
Everyone felt their scalp tingling.
Pei Jiaojiao seemed to have her neck choked, and looked shocked and panicked. The old lady knew how much importance she attached to this thing.
Xu kept her lips tightly closed, afraid that she would laugh.
"It is rumored that this blessed Sheling Pearl is indestructible. But now, it has broken for no reason and its spiritual energy has dissipated."
"Did this lady offend someone?"
After saying that, Xu quickly moved aside.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a large empty space around Pei Jiaojiao.
Everyone looked terrified.
"You!" Pei Jiaojiao's breathing stagnated slightly. She looked at everyone blankly and her eyes turned red in an instant. But what Xu said was reasonable and well-founded, and she couldn't refute it.
Even the shopkeeper gave her a subtle look.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, could you please come back next time? I'm sorry... our store is not very convenient today." The shopkeeper felt a chill on his back.
It's almost the middle of July, the gates of hell are wide open, and the whole city will be closed for three days.
He didn't dare touch anything evil.
God knows what she did to be able to defeat She Lingzhu.
Pei Jiaojiao was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she clenched her teeth as she stared at Xu.
"Madam, please go back first." The maid behind her pulled Pei Jiaojiao's sleeve. Although the marquis gave her enough love, he would never allow her to make trouble.
He attaches great importance to face.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have raised her for seventeen years and wouldn't have dared to bring her back home.
Pei Jiaojiao turned around and was about to leave, but Xu gently raised her hand.
