Chapter 595 - 301 Seeing a Doctor_3
The Little Monk listened, his eyes and brows curved into a smile as he said, "The Poor Monk also misses auntie and sister, and I was just thinking of staying at my sister’s home." After glancing at Liang Jinzhao, he added, "The Poor Monk also misses the Old Queen Grandma and elder brother, and wishes to visit Her Grace at the mansion."
Arriving at the Old Monk’s meditation room, Liang Jinzhao and Qian Yixiu paid their respects with a bow. Liang Jinzhao then spoke of his request for the Old Monk to visit the Liang Mansion to treat Old Lady Liang, "...Disciple should not trouble Master to travel to the Capital City, but Disciple’s great-grandmother is seriously ill, and I dare not allow her to venture out and suffer the bitterness of wind and frost."
The Old Monk said, "Amitabha, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-tiered pagoda. Besides, given that it concerns Elder Master Su, I will certainly go. However, life and death are predestined, and when one’s time is up, not to speak of me, a fake Immortal, even if a true Immortal came, it would be in vain."
Tears came to Liang Jinzhao’s eyes as he said, "Master means..."
The Old Monk didn’t respond to Liang Jinzhao; instead, he cheerfully started chatting with Monkey Brother, "You Naughty Monkey, I have not seen you for many days, and you have become a lot smarter..."
Hearing the praise, Monkey Brother was overjoyed and animated, amusing the Old Monk into hearty laughter.
A vegetarian feast was laid out on the table. Even though Baoguo Temple was famous throughout Daqian for its vegetarian feasts, because everyone was preoccupied with Old Lady Liang’s illness, no one had the desire to enjoy the fine food, and they soon got up to leave the mountain after eating hurriedly.
Apart from Liang Jinzhao who rode a horse, everyone else rode in horse-drawn carriages.
Once they entered the Capital City, since it was the fifteenth day of the first month, the streets were overcrowded and the carriages moved slowly. When they reached a crossroads, Liang Jinzhao came up next to Qian Yixiu’s carriage and said, "Yixiu, my great-grandmother often mentions you, saying she enjoys speaking with you. Could you please find the time to visit her at the mansion? I know you do not wish to see me; if my great-grandmother’s condition is not serious, I will go to the military base tomorrow and will only return home once every few days. Also, my mother is still under house arrest..."
Having reached this point in the conversation, Qian Yixiu really had no way to refuse, and nodded, "Alright, I’ll come by another day to bother Old Queen Grandma. I also wish Her Grace health and wellness."
The Little Monk would also follow the Old Monk to the Liang Mansion, and they agreed to visit the Qian family the next day.
When Qian Yixiu returned home, it was already early in the evening. She went straight to the outer courtyard, where the family had prepared a vegetarian feast, waiting for her and the Little Monk.
