The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 827 Taoist Cousin 11
Mrs. Hou doesn't like people who are displeased with her, but the Second Madam is very pleased with them.

After taking over the stewardship of the Hou Mansion, the second lady increased the monthly amount of silver given to the Taoist Temple from ten taels to 20 taels per month.

The ingredients delivered to the Taoist Temple are better and fresher.

In order to thank the second lady, Qingxu drew an amulet in return.

As the deliverer, Jia Huan secretly told the second lady that the talisman was unusual and asked the second lady to carry it with her.

The second lady narrowed her eyes.

As the second wife from a merchant family, her knowledge is actually wider than that of a lady from an official family.

The second wife's natal family has been in business for generations. Businessmen often go out and see many people and things.

He has a good understanding of Xuanmen in the previous dynasties and has many records in his family.

The second lady also knew about the existence of Xuanmen.

Her father even met Ah Piao, and was later rescued by an eminent monk, transcending both Na and Ah Piao.

When the second lady saw Qingxu's behavior after returning to the Hou Mansion, she became aware of it and believed that Qingxu was not an ordinary Taoist priest, but probably a member of Xuanmen.

This is why she approves of the good relationship between Jia Huan and Qingxu.

The second lady carefully put away the amulet and had people prepare generous gifts, which were brought to Qingxu by Jia Huan.

The things the second lady gave were very practical things, not those that were too fancy or useless, which made Qingxu very satisfied.

"Your mother is a good person." Qingxu said to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan smiled: "Actually, my mother is smarter and more capable than my father. It's a pity that in this world, she can only stay in the backyard and waste her talents."

Jia Huan really thinks her mother in this life is good.

If she lived in modern times, she would definitely become a self-made strong woman and put most men under her feet.

The spring is beautiful in March, and the scenery on the mountains is even better.

You can enjoy the beautiful scenery in your own house without going out.

At this time, someone came to visit the Taoist temple.

The visitor was accompanied by the Marquis. He was of high status and was the cousin of the current emperor, Prince Anxi.

Although Prince Anxi has no actual position in the court, he has a high status and is trusted by the emperor.

Several of his sons were vigorously trained by the emperor and entrusted with important positions.

Therefore, there are many people who want to curry favor with Prince Anxi.

Qingxu and Jia Huan went out to greet Prince Anxi.

The Marquis was slightly surprised to see Jia Huan also at the Taoist Temple.

He really didn't know that Jia Huan and Qingxu had such a good relationship.

It seems that more resources can be allocated to Jia Huan in the future.

The Marquis was scheming in his mind.

Prince Anxi was not disappointed to see Qingxu so young.

He had heard of Qingxu's abilities.

From Master Chu.

The matter of true and false Zhen Yanhe is over.

The fake Zhen Yanhe was caught in the capital, and after being identified, it turned out to be Gu Chengze from the Duke of Yan's mansion.

A fugitive imperial prisoner from the imperial court killed an official and pretended to be an official. This was a serious crime.

Originally, Gu Chengze could just go into exile with a group of people from Duke Yan's mansion, but now, he directly asked the Empress Qiu to kill him.

As for why Mr. Chu knew about the incident of impersonating an official thousands of miles away in the capital, Mr. Chu did not elaborate. He only said that he had the guidance of an expert.

However, Prince Anxi had a good relationship with Mr. Chu, and he learned about the incident and Qingxu's abilities from his mouth.

This time, as soon as Prince Anxi encountered something strange, he immediately went to the Hou Mansion and asked Qingxu for help.

The marquis took the prince to the Taoist temple and left. He was very wise and did not stay to hear what happened to the prince of Anxi.

His behavior was just like that of modern brokers and intermediaries.

However, Prince Anxi and Qingxu were very satisfied with his performance.

Jia Huan also pretended to say goodbye and left, then went home and used his spiritual consciousness to peek.Prince Anxi: "Taoist Priest, please save my daughter."

Qingxu: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the princess?"

Prince Anxi: "My daughter is missing."

Prince Anxi has seven sons and only one daughter, so he dotes on this daughter very much.

The princess is the favorite of Prince Anxi.

Prince Anxi would not be so worried if his son was missing.

Prince Anxi told that a month ago, there was a strange noise in the princess's room.

The maids wanted to enter the princess's room to check the situation, but the princess stopped them.

The princess said that she accidentally knocked over something and there was nothing unusual in the room.

The maids believed it.

But after that, the princess liked to stay alone in the room.

As soon as it got dark, he drove all the maids out of the room and refused to let the maids keep vigil for him.

This is not normal.

However, frightened by the princess's "obscene power", the maids only dared to doubt and did not dare to speak out.

He didn't even dare to tell the prince and princess about the princess' abnormality.

The princess is not happy that her subordinates will tell the prince and princess about her affairs. If such a situation occurs, the ending of that person will be very miserable.

A month later, the maid knocked on the princess's door at dawn, but received no response.

Until noon, there was still no movement in the room.

The maids noticed something was wrong and boldly opened the door and walked in, only to find that there was no one in the room.

The princess disappeared.

The matter became serious and the maids had to report the matter to Prince Anxi and Princess Anxi.

The two of them asked people to search for the princess, and at the same time they interrogated the maids around the princess.

The maids told the princess about the unusual behavior this month.

A maid said she heard a man's voice coming from the princess's room at night, but the next day, no one found any trace of the man.

The maids suspected that the princess had met a ghost.

Prince Anxi and Princess Anxi also had the same idea.

The princess felt that the princess had been kidnapped by A Piao, and she would never be able to find him again.

Prince Anxi was unwilling to give up. He thought of the Qingxu Taoist Master Chu had mentioned, and immediately came to ask for help.

Qingxu knew the whole story, stood up, and said to Prince Anxi: "Please take me to the princess's boudoir. I want to see if there are any clues left in it."

Prince Anxi: "Okay, okay, Taoist Master, please come with me."

The two people got on the palace's carriage and quickly arrived at the palace.

Prince Anxi personally took Qingxu into the princess's yard.

The princess sneered when she heard the maid reporting Prince Anxi and Qingxu's actions.

"So what if I get it back? Will it bring shame to the palace's reputation?"

The princess didn't believe in A Piao or Taoist masters. She even thought that the princess should have eloped with some man.

Prince Anxi brought him back, but he was only humiliating himself. It also damaged her son's reputation, made people question the prince's tutoring, and made her, the head mother of the family, lose face.

She had long said that the prince had spoiled that girl, and sooner or later she would cause trouble and bring trouble to the prince's family.

It's a pity that the prince didn't listen to her and just continued to pamper that girl.

Whoever has so many sons and only one daughter, naturally wants to pamper her.

Oh, it's just that the girl's biological mother is Prince Anxi's "true love".

The princess picked up the account book and seemed not to care about the affairs in the princess's yard.
