Chapter 991 Gossip
"That makes sense." Master Mingli looked at Mr. Lu, "What else does this donor have to say?"

"I have nothing to say." Lu said calmly, "After all, it's useless to talk about it. Why don't you let people go inside and inform the people in the general's mansion that a person named Lu Jingjing is outside to see if they recognize this relative? .”

"It makes sense."

Master Mingli was unsmiling and spoke very concisely and to the point. He looked directly at a monk behind him.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, Master Uncle."

Chang Yan was not only a little panicked when he saw that Master Mingli actually refused to let him ask, and he was obviously doubting himself.

But thinking about it carefully, he didn't take any money from Chu Qingge and the others, so even if they complained, there would be no evidence.

It was indeed him who sent the family members of the General's Mansion in person, and he didn't hear the other party say that there were relatives behind.

He felt relieved.

At this time, the back court.

Under a big apricot tree in the center, an elderly monk with a long white beard sat.

The other party was wearing a red cassock and was obviously Master Hongyuan, the host of Jing'an Temple.

Sitting on the seats arranged around him were all the male guests who came here to listen to his sermons.

The family members of the male guests, or purely female guests, sat in single rooms built around the courtyard.

The female relatives of the General's Mansion were sitting in the third single room from the right among the surrounding single rooms.

Although it is a rare thing to host a sermon at Jing'an Temple, the female relatives are not really interested in it.

Especially the young female relatives, most of them are only brought out by their elders to see the world and have fun.

And among the men sitting in the open space outside, there are many young talents who came here with their fathers.

Naturally, they didn't pay much attention to the old monk's knowledge - "Look, that's Qi Yue from the Qi family."

"That's Ji Xuekong from the Ji family!"

"What, Ji Xuekong is here too?" Someone couldn't help but whisper in surprise: "Didn't he leave the capital to travel and haven't returned to the capital for almost three years? Why did he come back suddenly? And he's here again?"

"This is of course because the three-year period has come." An insider said: "Three years ago, he won the top three in a row and became the first top pick in Dayan's history. He was originally going to be given an important task by the Holy Emperor.

As a result, he took the initiative to ask the Holy Father to give him another three years of study opportunities before he could serve as an official.

Seeing his sincerity, the Holy Spirit agreed. Now that his three-year request was only a few months away, it was strange that the other party came back early and then accompanied his grandfather here to listen to the host's sermon. "

"Indeed, but if he comes back early, could it be that the Ji family is planning to find a wife for him?"

"It's possible. It's said that when he won the first prize three years ago, King Lu wanted to marry his daughter to him.

But I didn't expect it to end in the end.

Maybe the reason why he left the capital for three years in the first place was because he rejected King Lu and offended King Lu.

Delaying his entry into officialdom for three years was a disguised apology to King Lu. "

After all, resume is very important after joining the official position.

For someone like Ji Xuekong, three years of official experience is enough for him to do a lot of things.

This allowed him to be promoted one or two levels...

"When you say that, it seems like it's really possible..."

"Then is Princess Xiuying here today?"

The gossiping woman couldn't help but be curious, but the host hadn't finished his lecture yet, and everyone couldn't move around freely. Naturally, they couldn't see who was sitting in the individual rooms in the back courtyard.
