Chapter 25 The Mother of Genius

 “This lady is very rich.” Everyone couldn’t help but compliment her.

This Buddhist beads 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 indeed very lucky. I heard that she got engaged when she was a child, but her fiancé was not so lucky. He became a disabled person. He was paralyzed in bed and had to have his urine taken care of."

 “Now we have appointed another talented young man.”

Pei Jiaojiao chuckled: "A good girl, of course, must marry a good man. How can such a disabled person 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 number one scholar in a new subject, thirty-three this year.

Lu Jinghuai was only seventeen.

He 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 a thing specially used by Huguo Temple to protect babies.

 It requires 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 her husband loved her so much that he begged for peace.” Pei Jiaojiao touched her daughter’s cheek.

  At first, she was pregnant with her eldest son, Lu Jinghuai, and tried her best to teach him.

 Let him follow in the footsteps of Xu's eldest son, Lu Yanshu.

 But Lu Yanshu is like a cloud on the horizon, elusive and untouchable, so that mortals can only look up at 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 good that a father could no longer abandon him.

 Even during that period, he unconsciously put the honor and disgrace of the Zhongyong Marquis 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 talented 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 little by little.

 At that time, Lu Yanshu had already become disabled and became a disgraceful presence in the Hou Mansion.

 When her daughter was born, her treatment reached the top.

 The old lady valued 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, and she had also received a few lychees.

Lu Yuanze eagerly held it up, as if she had found a treasure.

The skin of the lychee is dry and astringent, and the pulp is already a bit sour. Ha, it turns out it was leftover from someone else’s meal!

   "Madam, you are so lucky."

“This child will be very rich if he can get the prediction from the abbot of Huguo Temple.” Everyone couldn’t help but look closer.

 I wanted to compliment the child on how beautiful it was, but I saw a white, tender, pink and jade-like baby behind me.

Comparing the two sides, the child in the peace brocade looks like a monkey.

 The other person is like a little fairy boy under the Guanyin Seat.

It’s really too much to boast about.

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, and no one dares to mess with them on any given night. It’s half July, so wouldn’t evil spirits dare not come near them?” Everyone became more and more envious.

Pei Jiaojiao is being sought after by everyone.

She did not doubt Xu at all. After all, she and the Marquis had been together for seventeen years, and Xu had not noticed anything strange at all.

Xu Shiyun, I have great faith in Lu Yuanze.

Lu Chaochao looked 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. It is a good thing that can truly protect people.

 She felt furious.

How do they match up?

 The abbot is so confused!

  【Old thing, old thing, blind old thing, you are 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 is enjoying the adulation from everyone, suddenly...

I heard a crisp cracking sound.

 Everyone was stunned.

In full view 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 were 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, which just now 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 was broken into sawdust.

 Everyone feels their scalps are numb.

Pei Jiaojiao seemed to have her neck stuck, looking shocked and panicked. The old lady knew how seriously she took this thing.

Xu clasped her lips tightly, fearing that she would laugh.

“It is rumored that this blessed Sacrifice Pearl is indestructible. But now, it broke for no reason and its spiritual energy was gone.”

  “Is this lady offended by 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 jealous.

"You!" Pei Jiaojiao's breathing was 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 will be half of July, the gates of **** are wide open, and the whole city will be closed for three days.

 He didn't dare to touch anything evil.

 She can knock over the She Lingzhu, who knows what she has done.

Pei Jiaojiao's eyes were red with anger, her teeth were clenched, and she stared at Mr. Xu.

"Madam, please go back first." The maid behind her pulled Pei Jiaojiao's sleeves. Although the Marquis gave her enough favor, she was absolutely not allowed to cause trouble.

 He takes his face very seriously.

 Otherwise, I would not have raised her for seventeen years, and I would not have dared to take her back home.

Pei Jiaojiao turned around to leave, but Mrs. Xu gently raised her hand.
