Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 314: Nan'an Concubine: My granddaughter-in-law is so filial
Now, Mu Feng was finally relieved.

It is undoubtedly an elixir.

"Don't cry, I'll take you to see the old immortal."

"Really?" the servant said anxiously, "Then let's go quickly. I'm worried that it will come out soon."

"Haha."

Mu Feng was very happy: "Let's go!"

Accompanied by guards, the two returned to the Namo Temple and told outsiders that they were burning incense and fulfilling their vows.

"Old Immortal."

Mu Feng walked in with a guilty look on his face and bowed first.

The old monk was surprised and asked, "Master Zhen? The one-month deadline has not yet arrived. It is useless for you to come."

Mu Feng grabbed the servant and said with gritted teeth, "This beast actually ate the elixir secretly when I wasn't paying attention. I'm really pissed off. Today I came here to ask the old immortal for another elixir and to ask if it would be okay for him to eat the elixir secretly."

The servant knelt on the ground and said, "I was confused for a moment, please help me, old god..."

The old monk said seriously, "If a disabled person takes this kind of medicine, he will naturally grow back, but if a normal person takes it..." Then he looked at the servant and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell me in detail, don't hide anything, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

The servant was immediately frightened and cried, "It's nothing, it's just that there's something stuck here, as if something is about to come out."

The old monk clapped his hands: "That's right!"

"You, hey!"

As he spoke, he couldn't stop shaking his head.

"Old Immortal, save me!"

The servant boy rushed over and hugged the old monk's thighs, crying.

"Amitabha." The old monk chanted the Buddha's name, and said with a loving face: "Buddha is merciful. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please get up."

"Remember, you can't drink water or eat for three days after you go back. After three days, take this Vajra Bodhisattva Pill and you will be cured."

The servant took the Vajra Bodhisattva Pill and kowtowed as if he had found a treasure: "Thank you, old immortal, thank you, old immortal..."

"roll!"

Mu Feng stepped forward and kicked the man hard, sending him away.

"Old Immortal, can you give me another elixir? Don't worry, the money is ready..."

The old monk was almost overjoyed in his heart, but his face was heavy. He shook his head slowly: "It's not about the money, but the materials for refining this pill are extremely difficult, and it's not easy to succeed. In these years, there are only seven pills in total, and there are no more."

Mu Feng was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Can it be cured?"

The old monk said, "Don't worry, Master Zhen, I'm sure he will be cured, but..."

The old monk suddenly hesitated to speak.

Mu Feng asked nervously, "Just what?"

The old monk shook his head: "Nothing else is wrong, except that the one that grows back may be shorter... maybe only one inch."

Mu Feng: “…”

an inch!
He almost regretted it to death.

Don't be so smart!

"Old Immortal, one inch is too short. Can I... I can offer another thousand gold!" Mu Feng said while gritting his teeth.

"Alas, I am incapable of producing any more elixirs, but if I take good care of it in the future, it might even grow longer."

"But we must not lose any more pills in the future, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, old immortal!" Mu Feng assured hurriedly: "There will definitely be no mistakes in the future."

The old monk nodded, went in and took out a green porcelain bottle exactly the same as last time, handed it to Mu Feng solemnly, and reminded him again: "Take it quickly when you go back, and don't make any mistakes again."

"I know."

Mu Feng quickly put the porcelain bottle into his arms and suddenly asked, "Old Immortal, can you give me all the remaining elixirs? Don't worry, I will send them to you without losing a penny."

The old monk shook his head slowly: "It's not that I won't give it to Master Zhen, but you don't know how to nurture it. If you take it back, it will lose all its spiritual energy in less than a month, and it will have no effect."

Mu Feng suddenly realized and did not delay any further. He said goodbye and went home, and swallowed the elixir immediately.

As expected, I felt a little hot all over, but I didn't feel the growth below. Maybe I was injured too badly and needed a few months of warming up...

……

Namo Guanhou Mountain.

A cloaked figure slowly entered the room.

The old monk was sitting under the candlelight counting gold, occasionally taking a bite or two with his teeth, with a smile on his face. "Who?"

The old monk was startled when he heard the door open and stood up immediately.

The figure walked in, took off his cloak, and said, "It's me, you did a great job!"

Judging from the voice, it was actually a woman.

"It turned out to be Miss Qin." The old monk breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "I heard that the person was Zhen Baoyu, the son of the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Are you sure it's okay to do this?"

Miss Qin smiled and said, "What could possibly happen? The Zhen family's influence is OK in Jiangnan, but it's nothing in Kyoto. Besides, after you finish this, you will be free and happy. What does it matter to the Zhen and Jia families?"

"Haha, that's true."

"Miss Qin, you came so late, do you have any other instructions?"

"Well, it's just a little thing."

"what?"

"Let me show you something..."

"what?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Miss Qin took a few steps forward and walked to the old monk. She took out a scroll from somewhere and slowly unfolded it. It was a picture of a lady. The woman in the painting was very lifelike, but the old monk had no intention of looking at the painting. He just sniffed the girl's body fragrance...

As the scroll unfolded, a small sword appeared inside.

The old monk was puzzled for a moment. Before he understood what it meant, he felt a chill on his neck.

“You, uh…”

The old monk covered his neck with his hands, his eyes wide open, took two steps back and slowly fell down.

Miss Qin took the small sword and stabbed the old monk in the chest again, then calmly pushed the oil lamp on the table over.

Suddenly, the house was ablaze with fire.

……

Nan'an Palace, East Corner Gate.

"Hey, Miss Baoqin is back."

Several doormen looked at Baoqin who came back from outside with smiles on their faces.

"Ah."

Baoqin carried a small basket in her hand and walked in with her chin slightly raised, without paying much attention to the servants.

"Hehe, the girl next to Second Madam is getting prettier and prettier. Look at her figure. Tsk tsk... I wonder if Second Madam will let her out?"

"It's hard to say. The Second Master is a living dead man. It's useless for him to occupy two beauties..."

"I heard that the old man has been taking elixirs recently. Did you know?"

"What, this is still happening?"

"..."

Inside, Yuanchun had just served Concubine Nan'an dinner and was on her way home to eat melon seeds and read a book when Baoqin, carrying a basket, walked in with a smile.

"Girl, I'm back."

Baoqin put the basket behind the curtain.

Yuanchun raised her eyes and glanced: "Well, how is the old lady?"

Baoqin said, "Don't worry, young lady. The imperial physician said that the old lady just caught a cold and is fine. But the old lady said that she missed you a little."

Yuanchun stood up and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I went back to see her. You pack your clothes and I'll go ask the old ancestor if I can go back to my parents' home tomorrow."

Baoqin: "Okay girl."

Yuanchun's obedience, understanding and filial piety have made Concubine Nan'an no longer have any doubts, and she praises her as a good granddaughter-in-law to others all day long.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do, and I miss my old sisters, so I will accompany you back to your parents' home." Concubine Nan'an said with a smile.

"I heard that she was not feeling well a few days ago. Is she feeling better now?" Yuanchun's mother-in-law Liu suddenly asked.

Yuanchun smiled and said, "Madam, you are worried. Baoqin went to see him today and said he is fine now."

"That's good." Liu nodded with a smile.

Although the wedding was not a good start for his son, she really couldn't find any fault with this daughter-in-law.
