The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 467: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (6)

After the intelligent abbot took the purse, he opened it carefully and took out a jade pendant from it.

He gently picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

This jade pendant has a warm and delicate texture all over, with pure and flawless color, crystal clear, and as smooth as mutton fat, making people want to touch it.

However, although this jade pendant is so exquisite, for the intelligent abbot, it only proves its extremely high value.

As for the magical power that Su Xiangran mentioned, the intelligent abbot did not notice anything unusual.

He shook his head and said to Su Xiangran, "Little donor, this jade pendant is indeed a rare piece of beautiful jade, and its quality is really top-notch.

But regarding the magical power you mentioned, I have not noticed anything.”

Su Xiangran was secretly delighted to hear Abbot Zhineng's evaluation of the jade pendant in her hand. She couldn't wait to ask, "Master, do you also think this jade pendant is very precious and valuable?"

The intelligent abbot was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised why the little girl suddenly asked such a question.

He looked at Su Xiangran's innocent face and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Master, I think the greatest ability of this jade pendant is that it can be sold at a high price." Su Xiangran suddenly said, "I would like to donate this jade pendant to the temple as incense money, and I only hope that the abbot can say a few words to my mother."

Abbot Zhineng listened to Su Xiangran's words, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Little donor, is there anything I need to tell your mother?"

"I hope you can tell her that her daughter's foot binding will have a negative impact on her own fortune." Su Xiangran thought for a moment and then said, "If this statement is not serious enough, then you can add some more explosive material.

Tell her that doing so may cause emotional discord between the couple.

If it really comes to the point, then they will say that it is bad for their son, it could be a physical problem, or it could be a hindrance to his studies - you can pick the more serious one."

Even though the abbot was knowledgeable, experienced and intelligent, he could no longer suppress his inner surprise at this moment and performed a wonderful "face-changing" in front of the two of them.

The intelligent abbot thought to himself: (￣┰￣*) What kind of little girl is this? How did this family educate their children?

However, before the intelligent abbot could express his sigh, the young man at the side had already quietly squatted down and approached Su Xiangran's feet.

"Have you bound your feet?" The young man stared at Su Xiangran, as if he wanted to reach out and touch her, but in an instant he realized the proper etiquette between men and women, and his hand hovered in the air.

After some struggle, the boy couldn't suppress his curiosity and concern, and gently took off the shoes on Su Xiangran's feet.

Looking at the bound feet wrapped in layers of cloth, the boy wanted to remove them, but as soon as his hand touched the cloth, Su Xiangran stopped him.

"Don't untie it. Even if you untie it for me now, the nanny will only tie it tighter when you go back." Su Xiangran hurriedly said to the boy, "Brother, thank you, but this matter must be resolved once and for all."

"Master Zhineng, you have to help her no matter what. She is still so young." The young man stood up and said to the abbot Zhineng earnestly, "If she binds her feet, she will be disabled."

Master Zhineng put the jade pendant in his arms, put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha! I will do my best."

Afterwards, they discussed how to tell Cao Wanning about this matter so that she would believe it and be willing to change her mind.

Not long after, the little monk who had just led Su Xiangran said outside: "Little donor, your mother is already looking for you, you should go back with me quickly!"

Su Xiangran knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she stood up, bowed, and was about to leave.

She had just taken one step when the young man who had stood up with her hugged her again: "It's quite a distance from here to the main hall. You can't walk fast, so I'll carry you there."

Su Xiangran struggled for a moment and wanted to refuse, but then she heard the young man say, "I will let you down when we get close to the main hall, and I will never let your mother see us together."

After hearing this, she did not move. Boys and girls should not sit at the same table as their seven-year-old counterparts. She was only six years old now, just a child.

Since he was willing to be a human sedan chair, she didn't mind too much.

The young man looked at the quiet little girl in his arms. When he walked out of the room, he turned back to look at the intelligent abbot. The meaning was very clear: Go and get things done!

The intelligent abbot also noticed the young man's gaze, stood up, put on the robes he only wore when meeting distinguished guests, and walked out.

It's just that he went in another direction.

It turned out that there were many secret passages in Anyang Temple, and there was a small path in his room that led directly to the main hall.

Of course, this is why many people say that the intelligent abbot is omnipresent. No matter if there is a big or small event, he will definitely be the first to arrive. Of course, if there is a disaster or something, he will also be the first to run away.

In a short while, the intelligent abbot came into the hall from the secret door.

By this time, Cao Wanning had already finished worshiping Buddha and was waiting for his daughter Su Xiangran.
