Chapter 592: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 13
From this we can draw the conclusion that the masters of Puguang Temple are truly skilled, and their amulets must be effective.
So in private, all the servants carried the amulets of Puguang Temple with them.
Although the rumor had died down in the mansion, it had already spread widely among the servants of various mansions outside the mansion.
The servants have a lot of interactions with each other, so how could the news be kept secret?
On this day, the steward of Lord Chen's house next door happened to meet the second steward of Marquis Xuanping's house. The second steward's surname was Xu, and people called him Steward Xu.
Butler Chen bowed and smiled, "How are you, old brother?
Today is a good day, and we two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't we go to Hui Cui Lou and have a small gathering?"
Butler Xu originally thought that the other party had something to ask for. As a butler, one should make more friends and have more options. Butler Chen was a good person, and there was no bad relationship between his own house and the Chen family, so he happily agreed.
After three rounds of drinks, seeing that Butler Chen was still not getting to the point, Butler Xu simply spoke up himself.
"Brother Chen, we are not strangers, so if you have something to say, just speak frankly.
I will definitely help you if I can, and I believe you won't make things difficult for me."
Butler Chen sighed inwardly that the other party was an old fox.
These words were apparently a gesture of sympathy, but in reality they blocked his way to ask for help.
If someone were thin-skinned, they probably wouldn't be able to ask for help.
But who is he? Not to mention that there is nothing to ask him for help, even if there is, he cannot be scared away by a few words from Butler Chen.
He took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, you're too worried. I really don't have anything else to do today. It's just that we both have some free time, so I wanted to treat you to a drink, a chat, and a moment of leisure."
Butler Xu confirmed again and again, and Butler Chen said that everything was really fine. Only then did Butler Xu feel completely relieved and gradually started chatting about family matters during the meal.
Seeing this, Butler Chen turned to the amulet.
"By the way, Brother Xu, my son is going on a long journey with the Second Young Master, and I want to ask for a peace amulet for him.
Which do you think is better, Puguang Temple or Ningyuan Temple?
I also know that this is to seek peace of mind, but this is my only son, and I really can't let him go for the first time.
But keeping him around all the time is not a solution. In the future, without my face to back him up, if he gets into trouble, there won’t even be anyone to clean up after him, which makes me even more worried.
After much thought, I finally hardened my heart and decided to let him go.
If the amulet can really protect him, then all my efforts will be worth it."
After hearing this, Butler Xu couldn't help but sigh, "That's right. When those two boys from my family went out with the master for the first time, I was so worried that I almost made a mistake while doing my job.
Children are a debt. I can understand how you feel right now.
I really can’t say which amulet is more effective.
However, my old lady and the Marquis' wife both believe in Pu'an Temple, so I don't know the details."
Butler Chen quickly replied, "I also prefer Puguang Temple. This year during the Ghost Festival, I saw that your family held a ritual and invited a master from Puguang Temple. I think it's a good choice."
Besides, the servants in your house have been going to Puguang Temple all the time lately, so there must be some reason for that."
Butler Xu was relegated to second butler precisely because he was not as alert as the chief butler.
He always accidentally lets slip little things that he thinks are insignificant.
Although it did not cause a big trouble, it was inevitable that the master would be unhappy, otherwise the position of chief steward would not have been taken away by the later-arriving steward Zhou.
Fortunately, even when he talked about trivial matters in the mansion, he always concealed them and never really did anything bad.
He just said, "Servants just look at which one the master uses and think it's better. No one knows whether it really works or not.
The Marquis' wife invited the master to the Ghost Festival to offer sacrifices to the ancestors.
I don't know which servant was gossiping and spreading the news that July is full of ghosts.
I never thought things would get so serious that they're all running to Puguang Temple...
Today, I am grateful to Brother Chen for reminding me. Otherwise, if the matter gets out to the master's family and finds out, I'm afraid I will be implicated as well.
These guys are just too idle. If they really want something to harm people, they wouldn't bother looking for people like us who have nothing. It seems like there aren't enough activities for them!"
As he spoke, Butler Xu raised his glass to Butler Chen, who poured him more wine and urged him to eat.
"Hey, let's not talk about these things that will spoil the fun. Today, we two brothers are out here, just chatting about family matters.
It's all my fault. I mentioned the amulet and it upset Brother Xu."
After that, the two of them just chatted about family matters.
Steward Chen was a shrewd person, and he had been a neighbor of the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion for many years, so he had already figured out the personalities of the mansion's several stewards.
What Butler Xu said clearly meant that there were indeed rumors that the Marquis's Mansion was haunted, but they were suppressed by the Marquis's wife.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted to know, Butler Chen chatted for a while longer and then took his leave, saying he had to go back and give instructions to his son who was away on a business trip.
In the restaurant, only Butler Xu was left drinking alone. After a while, someone from his family came to look for him, and he followed them away.
But these words happened to be heard by Prince Rong who was in the next box.
The Marquis Xuanping's Mansion actually hired someone to perform a ritual, and everyone in the mansion hung amulets. This was clearly an attempt to cause trouble for his ghost sister!
He couldn't help but recall the scene of his first meeting with the ghost sister. As soon as he got closer to her, she couldn't bear it and then disappeared.
I went to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to look for her several times recently, but she was nowhere to be found.
Now that I think about it, it must be that everyone in the mansion was carrying amulets and hurt the ghost sister.
How is this possible?
He still has a lot of information about the afterlife that he hasn't found out from the ghost sister.
These people were preventing his ghost sister from coming out, which was simply ruining his plan to live a good life after death.
No, we must find the ghost sister.
If the Xuanping Marquis Mansion cannot accommodate my sister, his Rong Prince Mansion is not without a lake. I wonder if my sister can move in with him.
And those monks in Puguang Temple are really meddling in other people’s business.
Ghost Sister didn't do anything harmful, so aren't they just doing this because they have nothing better to do?
We must find them something else to do so that they stop targeting Ghost Sister.
Prince Rong became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He immediately made up his mind and went straight to the palace to find the emperor.
Prince Rong has always behaved in strange ways.
After he entered the palace, he actually urged the emperor to send all the monks of Puguang Temple to the imperial mausoleum to perform rituals.
After paying his respects, he sat down below the emperor and said to him seriously:
"Royal brother, I dreamed that my father was bullied by the previous emperor in the underworld. My father's side was too short-handed, so he asked me to find someone to help him."
The emperor listened, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
What is this younger brother up to?
How did the monks of Puguang Temple offend him?
However, the emperor was a little tired from reviewing the memorials just now, so he just listened to Prince Rong's storytelling as a way to relax.
