In fact, he does not necessarily want Miaoyu to be an ordinary woman in his house.
A strange woman like Miaoyu who is hard to find in the world, forcibly blends into the mortal world, mixes with the common people and rough people, and goes to argue and make noise. This is the act of casting a pearl in the dark and squandering natural resources.
A woman like her should be raised in an ancient temple that is pure and free of disputes and has a solemn treasure.
In other words, her personality, which cannot bear the slightest grievance, is not suitable for the hustle and bustle of the world.
Jia Lian is not a person without self-awareness. He knows that with his current position, there is no problem in protecting Miaoyu's safety, but it is unrealistic to completely protect her from the mental oppression of Wang Xifeng and others.
Therefore, it is the safest way to let her stay in the nunnery temporarily and wait for a suitable time to take her out in the future.
The reason why he mentioned this was just to tell Miaoyu that he was not the kind of person who only wanted to play with her emotions and body.
Of course, if Miaoyu herself is willing to return to secular life and follow him home, Jia Lian will not refuse, but he will make a detailed and appropriate protection plan for her. This woman may be more delicate than Daiyu.
If he couldn't let go of his grievance, then he would regret it too much.
Now seeing that she really didn't want to return to secular life, Jia Lian decided to stick to his earlier plan.
Holding Miaoyu in his arms, he asked her about her parents and why she came to Suzhou...
In fact, Jia Lian had already sent people to inquire about this before meeting Master Jingci, otherwise he would not have accurately known that Miaoyu had arrived at Muni Yuan and that her master was seriously ill.
Sure enough, when Miaoyu heard Jia Lian's question, all the pain and grievances that had been stored in her heart for a long time came to her heart, and she couldn't care about anything else. She hid in Jia Lian's arms and told Jia Lian about the changes in her family, seeking comfort.
It turned out that in the second year after meeting Jia Lian, that is, the year when Jia Lian went to the border, Miaoyu's father failed in the party struggle and was convicted of corruption by the court. The emperor was furious.
Her parents committed suicide out of fear of crime, their property was confiscated, and her family members died and dispersed.
The huge Suzhou wealthy family disappeared in an instant.
Miaoyu escaped the disaster because she had long since escaped into Buddhism.
Then her father's old enemies seemed not to let her go. Fortunately, she still had relatives, friends, and old friends who secretly helped them to go to Beijing to avoid trouble.
Miao Yucai, her master and a few serving staff went to the capital together and moved into the Muni Monastery.
Now, only three or four months have passed.
Jia Lian felt sad after hearing this. Even he could not intervene in this kind of thing.
From this, Jia Lian told himself more firmly that every step in the officialdom in the future must be taken carefully, and the Jia family must not follow in the footsteps of Miaoyu's family.
He softly comforted Miaoyu for a long time, and then asked Xing Xiuyan again.
At the beginning, Jia Lian had some expectations about the outcome of Miaoyu's family, so he specifically told Xiuyan that if anything happened, he should write to him for help in a timely manner, but for some reason there was no news.
"The Xing family moved away from our temple the year you left Suzhou.
She told me that it was you who gave her family money and allowed them to have enough money to spend. Her father didn’t want to work as a coolie anymore, so he took them to seek refuge with his powerful relatives..."
Miaoyu explained casually.
Xing Xiuyan is Miaoyu's only friend, so Miaoyu is somewhat concerned about her whereabouts.
Jia Lian suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't receive any news about the changes in Miaoyu's family. It's just that the Xing family went to seek refuge with a powerful relative, but they didn't know where they went.
Logically speaking, the most powerful relative in their family should be Mrs. Xing, but the Xing family clearly did not enter the capital.
But there is no need to worry. If nothing happens, after the completion of the Grand View Garden, the Xing family will most likely come to seek refuge with Mrs. Xing. So as long as Mrs. Xing does not die, it will still be possible in the future.
Miaoyu was surprised to find that after telling Jia Lian the sad things in her heart, and then hearing him say some comforting words, she felt less sad.
Then I realized that I had stayed in Jia Lian's arms so calmly for so long.
He hadn't noticed what he was saying just now, but now he felt it was too ridiculous and ashamed. He quickly stood up and said to Jia Lian: "It's time for you to leave. If you stay any longer, they will become suspicious..."
If she were an eminent monk, it would be okay to discuss Taoism with Jia Lian all night long.
However, she is still a young woman, and Jia Lian, a young man, is not suitable to spend the night in their nunnery!
If you don't go out, I'm afraid Master Jingci and the others will send someone to check on the situation.
Jia Lian saw that Miaoyu finally didn't look like a fried hen, and she stopped crying. She had a beautiful and thin face, exquisite and exquisite facial features that were perfectly distributed, and she felt a little bit like a pear blossom with rain. In addition, she had a wonderful figure at the age of twenty-eight.
, which really made Jia Lian unable to bear to go.
Finally knowing that if you can't bear the pleasure of the moment, you won't be able to enjoy eternal peace, so he lowered his head and kissed Miaoyu's forehead again, and told her shyly: "Don't worry, even if you don't follow me back, I will always protect you."
With you.
You can live here peacefully for now, and I will come back to see you when I have free time.
Moreover, it won’t take too long, I will find you another perfect place, let you move there and be the master of your own house, and you will no longer have to endure the feeling of being dependent on others.”
When Miaoyu heard this, she didn't know what to say. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say anything to refuse.
Her body and innocence had been taken over by Jia Lian, and now she was helpless.
The family was gone, and her master was seriously ill and difficult to treat. At this time, besides Jia Lian, she really didn't know who to rely on.
Jia Lian probably guessed her mentality. Seeing this, he touched the side of her face, rubbed her ears twice with his thumb, and said softly: "Your father is gone, but you still have me. From now on, I will
Come take care of you."
Miaoyu had never heard such embarrassing words before, and the pride in her heart prevented her from showing any emotion.
So he slapped Jia Lian's hand away and said with feigned anger: "Who wants you to take care of me? I would have been better off without you, a hateful villain!"
After saying that, he checked his clothes and found nothing suspicious, and then quickly left Jia Lian's side.
With a few steps left before reaching the door, she stopped and took a deep breath, then resumed her cool posture and walked out smoothly.
I glanced at the two girls guarding the door of the room, and only glanced briefly. I felt that they were inferior to me, so I didn't care much and walked back briskly.
Aqi and Aqin ignored Miaoyu, but when Jia Lian came out, they looked at him with strange eyes.
Although they did not dare to go in and take a peek just now, based on women's intuition and understanding of Jia Lian, they felt that their father and the beautiful and unscrupulous woman stayed inside for so long, and it was not likely to be a simple discussion of scriptures. road.
Jia Lian pretended not to see them, and saw two old nuns coming forward with hunched waists. Jia Lian bowed his hands and said: "Master Miaoyu's skill of supporting the urns is extraordinary and holy, and his Zen Tao is profound, which has solved the confusion that I have been having for many years." .
I would like to donate 100,000 yuan of sesame oil to your temple to repay Immortal Miaoyu for his help in clearing up my doubts.
In addition, I have worshiped Immortal Master Miaoyu as my Taoist master. In the future, when the Immortal Master is free, I would also like to invite the Immortal Master to come to my Rongguo Mansion to preach the scriptures for me.
Therefore, please also tell Master Jingci and ask her to serve Master Miaoyu well on my behalf. If this is the case, I will donate sesame oil money to your temple every year from now on."
Jia Lian had long discovered that this Muni Yuan was more pragmatic from top to bottom and not pedantic.
So he was more direct and made his identity clear with the word "I". In this way, he just let them know that Miaoyu has him as a noble disciple, and they would naturally not dare to be disrespectful to Miaoyu in the future.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the two old nuns suddenly burst into laughter.
One hundred thousand sesame oil money is nearly one hundred taels of silver! Moreover, this is the amount that Miaoyu only asked Jia Lian to pay for once...
What's more, at such a young age, Miaoyu actually has the ability to ask a nobleman like Jia Lian to become a Taoist master? This is incredible. With Jia Lian's status, he is willing to worship a monk as his teacher, which only shows that Jia Lian really cares about Miaoyu. Highly respected.
Sure enough, Master Miaoyu was born extraordinary, and they had already seen it. No wonder the presiding master wanted to keep them and his disciples in the temple despite all objections...
Jia Lian left the sesame oil money and was about to leave, but Master Jingci actually came out to see him off.
Jia Lian said those words again in front of Jingci, and Miaoyu's name immediately resounded throughout the Muni courtyard.
Convincing a noble person after a discussion on Taoism and allowing him to worship him as an immortal master is a legend among Buddhists.
In Muniyuan, only Master Jingci had such ability before.
Now, there is another wonderful jade.
At this moment, no one wants to drive away the unconventional and eccentric Miaoyu. Without him, as long as Miaoyu is in their courtyard, he will definitely bring them a lot of money for sesame oil!
Miaoyu was the only one who heard their rumors. Her face was neither sad nor happy, but she felt very embarrassed in her heart.
She knew that Jia Lian must have said this to help her, but why did he insist on saying that he would become her teacher?
