There is also a boy in the governor's mansion, but he is still a child over one year old, not born to the governor's wife, but raised under her name and recorded as a legitimate son.

Mrs. Xu prayed for this child from the God of White Lotus. The protector of the White Lotus Sect said that Mrs. Xu was sincere and touched the God of the White Lotus.

According to what the law protector said, Mrs. Xu brought the second woman she met who sold her body to bury her father into the mansion, and asked Governor Xu to take her as a concubine, so that a healthy baby boy could be born.

Governor Xu didn't intend to try it at first. He had seen many doctors and knew that it was because of himself that the baby boy he gave birth died prematurely. Well, it can be regarded as a future.

But I couldn't bear Mrs. Xu's begging, so I still accepted that woman. Unexpectedly, there would be good news in the second month. After the child was born, he has been healthy and healthy until now, unlike the previous child, who has been sick since birth. Many disasters and illnesses.

Governor Xu felt that there was hope, maybe this child could grow up safely.

At the beginning, the White Lotus Sect just preached their beliefs honestly, no different from Buddhism and Taoism, and occasionally went out of line, but it was not too serious, so Governor Xu just turned a blind eye to it, and it passed.

Later, the White Lotus Sect became more and more daring, and even preached that as long as you sincerely worship the White Lotus God, you can get everything you want!
Governor Xu felt that it was outrageous, and he was vigilant in his heart whether the White Lotus Sect had a heart of disobedience, trying to fool the people and stir up disputes.

So he sent people to investigate, and found that this matter was really outrageous, and someone actually got gold, silver, treasures, chicken, duck and fish!
The education that Governor Xu received since he was a child is loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. In the officialdom, he is the kind of firm royalist. In his eyes, protecting the interests of the emperor is above all else, so he reported the specific situation to Emperor Xuan of Jin, and let Jin Emperor Xuan made up his mind.

At this moment, Inspector Xu wandered in the study thinking, what does Emperor Xuan of Jin mean by this? Shouldn't he send an imperial envoy?

What is it to let the eldest princess come?
Could it be that the eldest princess is a cover, and the prince of Zhennan is really sent by Emperor Xuan of Jin?

Inspector Xu's inherent thinking almost made him think that Emperor Jin Xuan didn't want to care about this matter, but out of face, he asked the eldest princess to make a routine inspection.

On the second day, Shen Changan summoned Governor Xu. She sat on the main seat and asked Governor Xu to explain the situation again.

Governor Xu couldn't figure out the situation, so he followed her question.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean, more than half of Yangzhou's large and small cities already have temples of the White Lotus Sect?"

The White Lotus Sect first arose in a Buddhist temple, so they also built a temple, but instead of enshrining Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc., they enshrined the White Lotus God.

The names of the temples are unified, and they are all called "Bailian Temple", unlike Buddhist temples, which can be called anything.

Before Xu Inspector could answer, Shen Changan asked again: "Then how many years has it been since the rise of the White Lotus Sect?"

Inspector Xu thought for a while, and said, "Return to Your Highness, about five years."

Five years...

Shen Changan chewed these two words, and suddenly laughed, "The White Lotus Sect is really capable. Buddhism has been used for decades since it was introduced to the Great Jin Dynasty, and it took decades for it to take shape. The White Lotus Sect only took about five years to spread. Most of Yangzhou."

Inspector Xu tried to speak, "Your Highness does not know that the White Lotus God enshrined by the White Lotus Sect is really a living god. He can answer most of the requests of the people."

"My lord, do you think Bailian God is really a living god?"

Shen Chang'an tapped the table with his index finger, "I'm young and far less knowledgeable than an adult, so please ask an adult to explain my doubts."

"This……"

Inspector Xu hesitated. The results of his investigations and his own experience told him that Bailian God is a living god; but the sage knowledge he learned since childhood told him that his words are strange and confusing.

For a moment, two thoughts collided in his mind.

Shen Changan didn't urge him either.

After Xu Inspector tried hard to get the first thought out of his mind, he said firmly: "The lower official believes that the White Lotus Sect is pretending to be a ghost, trying to fool the people and provoke disputes between the people and the court!"

It is impossible to drop pies in the sky. If you pick up a copper coin on the road, no one cares about it in your arms, but if you pick up a large bag of treasure, then you have to be vigilant——
Who knows if the cockroach is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind?
Shen Chang'an nodded, then changed his voice, and said: "I heard that your lord's son was born under the guidance of the God of White Lotus. I wonder if I can let me see you?"

Xu Inspector didn't know what Shen Changan was going to do, he thought for two seconds, and asked someone to bring the child over.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the nanny came with the one-year-old son Xu in her arms, followed by Mrs. Shi Shi, who was taking care of the child at that time, and when she heard that it was the eldest princess who wanted to see him, Mrs. Shi Shi also came over.

Mrs. Governor greeted Shen Changan, and asked the nanny to carry Young Master Xu over.

Young Master Xu was a little over one year old, and he laughed whenever he saw anyone. Shen Changan picked up the candied fruit on the table to tease him, making him keep grabbing with his little hands.

[Ding, the inspection is complete, and no abnormalities were found. 】

Shen Changan frowned, and said, "Young master is so cute."

Governor Xu looked at his youngest son and showed a gratified smile, and Mrs. Governor Xu also smiled at Young Master Xu, but I don't know if he is really happy.

It was almost lunch time, Governor Xu took his wife and son to leave, Shen Chang'an and Gu Qichi finished their meal, and planned to go shopping in the street.

As the main city of Yangzhou, Yangcheng is naturally the most prosperous, and several of the main streets are comparable to the streets of Chang'an City.

Shen Changan had never been to Yangzhou, and among the tributes Yangzhou sent to the court, there were no gadgets sold in the market, so everything he saw was new.

Gu Qichi did come here before, but it was in his previous life, and he didn't go shopping properly. Travelers came to Yangzhou to make money, and would not stay for the sake of the market.

As long as Shen Changan's gaze stays on any item for two seconds, Gu Qichi will ask the boy to take out money to buy it.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Gu Qichi has a servant named Xing Luo beside him. In addition to the profession of servant, he also works part-time as a book boy, guard, butler, and a series of other occupations that his master needs.

It can be described as a miserable worker.

Shen Changan asked curiously: "Do you still have a young man called 'Qibu'?"

Gu Qichi nodded and praised: "Chang'an is really smart!"

"Qibu didn't come with me this time, he stayed in Zhennan Palace."

The two talked and laughed at Yanyan, Liuli and Shuiyun were also talking and laughing with a few packs of snacks, Xingluo rolled his eyes holding various gadgets in one hand.

Why not hug?

Because the other hand is paying.

Fortunately, they had a carriage, and the coachman rescued Xing Luo in time, and put the things into the carriage.

It was getting late, and the three girls still had a lot of fun walking around, but Gu Qichi and the two were almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and they all relied on perseverance, otherwise they would not be able to walk.

Girls like shopping so much!
