Chapter 25 The Genius’ Mother
"This lady is very rich." Everyone couldn't help but compliment her.
This Buddhist bead is an extremely precious thing.
Pei Jiaojiao has been feeling aggrieved for many years, and now her eyebrows can't help but raise a bit of pride.
"My son is even better at reading. He was admitted as a scholar when he was only ten years old. This year he is seventeen and is engaged to Miss Jiang. Next year, he will take part in the provincial examination." Pei Jiaojiao glanced at the pale-faced Xu Shi, my heart is full of joy.
"Oh, the one you have chosen is the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Dali Temple? A few days ago, I heard that a young genius was chosen."
"Is she the mother of the talented young master Lu Jinghuai?"
"It turns out he is the madam's son?"
Pei Jiaojiao nodded slightly.
"Miss Jiang is really lucky. I heard that she was engaged to be married when she was a child, but her fiancé was unlucky and became a disabled person. He was paralyzed in bed and had to have his excrement and urine taken care of."
"Now we've decided on another talented young man."
Pei Jiaojiao chuckled: "A good girl, of course, must marry a good man. How can such a cripple be a good match?" Her tone was disdainful.
Everyone became more and more enthusiastic. Lu Jinghuai, a ten-year-old scholar, was the most promising to become the number one scholar.
The new top scholar, thirty-three this year.
And Lu Jinghuai was only seventeen.
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 Ping'an brocade, right?"
Ping'an brocade is specially used by Huguo Temple to protect babies.
It takes a close relative to kneel down a thousand-story ladder and tap step by step to obtain it.
Pei Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
"This girl was born weak, but my husband loved her so much that he begged for Ping An Jin." Pei Jiaojiao touched her daughter's cheek.
When she was pregnant with her eldest son, Lu Jinghuai, she tried her best to teach him.
Let him chase in the footsteps of Xu's eldest son, Lu Yanshu.
But Lu Yanshu is like a cloud in the sky, elusive and untouchable, so that mortals can only look up to it, but cannot compare it with others.
That was her and her son's nightmare.
No one knows better than her.
Because of Lu Yanshu, Lu Yuanze gradually wavered towards Xu.
Lu Yanshu was so outstanding that a father could no longer abandon him.
Even during that period, he unconsciously placed the honor and disgrace of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion on that child's head. Her Jing Huai was forced by her to chase Lu Yanshu since childhood.
He couldn't help it, and secretly took a look at the stunning young man. He was shocked and uneasy.
The whole person collapsed.
A serious illness.
fortunately……
Pei Jiaojiao's lips curled up slightly. Fortunately, the little bitch's fate was not good. Just like a rainbow in the sky, it is stunning but fleeting.
Over the years, she has not dared to relax every day, forcing her son Jinghuai to take his place bit by bit.
Back then, Lu Yanshu had become disabled and a disgrace to the Hou family.
After her daughter was born, her treatment reached the top.
The old lady regarded her like a jewel, and the Marquis was in great pain.
At this moment, she touched her daughter's cheek: "She has been favored by her father since she was a child. When I was pregnant with her, she was greedy, and her father asked someone to send a basket of lychees from outside the customs. Three horses were killed."
Xu's eyes were dim. She had also gotten a few lychees.
Lu Yuanze eagerly held it up, as if she had found a treasure.
The skin of the lychee is dry and the flesh is already a bit sour. Ha, it turns out it was leftover from someone else’s meal!
"What a blessing, madam."
"If the abbot of Huguo Temple predicts this child, he will be very rich." Everyone couldn't help but look closer.
I wanted to compliment the child on how good-looking it was, but I saw a white, tender, pink and beautiful baby behind me.
Comparing the two sides, the child in Ping An Jinzhong looks like a monkey.
The other party is like a little fairy boy under the Guanyin Seat.
I really can’t praise it enough.
Lu Chaochao lay on the maid's shoulder, feeling his mother's whole body shaking with anger and her little face wrinkled up.
[Hmph, that blind old abbot, just don’t have those eyes anymore! 】
【How blind are you?】
Lu Chaochao's eyes widened and he looked at the Buddhist beads in front of him.
"These 108 Buddhist beads have all been consecrated by holy monks. No one would dare to mess with them. It's the middle of July, so wouldn't evil spirits dare not approach them?" Everyone became more and more envious.
Pei Jiaojiao accepted the admiration of everyone.
She didn't doubt Xu at all. After all, she and Mr. Hou had been together for seventeen years, and Xu didn't notice anything strange at all.
Xu Shiyun has great faith in Lu Yuanze.
Lu Chaochao stared at the string of Buddhist beads. Others could not see them, but she could see them clearly.
There are 108 Buddhist beads, each one is wrapped with a faint golden light, which is a good thing that can truly protect people.
She felt angry.
How do they match up!
That abbot is so confused!
[Old thing, old thing, blind old thing, bullying my mother! 】
[Mother, the hairpin on her head is your dowry! Ouch, ouch, I'm so angry. 】
Mrs. Xu was frightened when she heard this. The last time she scolded her father, she split his hair.
Lu Chaochao mobilized a trace of spiritual energy and struck straight at the string of Buddhist beads.
Pei Jiaojiao was enjoying the adulation from everyone when she suddenly...
A crisp cracking sound was heard.
Everyone was stunned.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the string of Buddhist beads that had been blessed by Buddhist teachings actually broke apart and fell to the ground with a crackle.
The golden Buddha beads shattered on the ground.
The golden light scattered in all directions, and the moment it hit the ground, it became gray and lifeless.
"Hey, why did it suddenly crack? This is not a good sign!"
"The brilliance on this bead is gone." Everyone was shocked.
Someone picked up a bead, and it just felt warm and radiant to the touch, with a faint golden light covering it. But now...
It turned into pieces of rotten wood.
With a gentle squeeze, it shattered into sawdust.
Everyone's scalp felt numb.
Pei Jiaojiao seemed to have her neck stuck, looking shocked and panicked. The old lady knew how seriously she took this thing.
Mrs. Xu closed her lips tightly, afraid that she would laugh.
"It is rumored that this blessed Sheling Pearl is indestructible. But now, it broke for no reason and the spiritual energy was gone."
"Mrs., could it be that you have offended something?"
After saying that, Mrs. Xu hurriedly ducked aside.
As soon as he finished speaking, a large area of space suddenly filled up around Pei Jiaojiao.
Everyone looked disgusted.
"You!" Pei Jiaojiao's breathing was slightly stagnant. She looked at everyone blankly and her eyes turned red instantly. But what Xu said was reasonable and well-founded, and she couldn't refute it.
Even the shopkeeper gave her a vague look.
"Madam, I'm sorry, could you please come back next time? I'm sorry...it's not very convenient in the store today." The shopkeeper felt a chill in his back.
It's 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.
If she can destroy the Sheling Pearl, who knows what she has done.
Pei Jiaojiao's eyes were red with anger, her teeth were clenched, and she stared at Mrs. Xu.
"Madam, please go back first." The maid behind him pulled Pei Jiaojiao's sleeves. Although the Marquis gave her enough love, he would never allow her to cause trouble.
He takes his face very seriously.
Otherwise, he would not have raised her for seventeen years and would not dare to take her back home.
Pei Jiaojiao turned around to leave, but Mrs. Xu gently raised her hand.
