Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 118
Wang Qi hugged Sisi and walked out of Anyang City Gate. The guard kindly reminded her: "Auntie, the city gate is about to close, hurry back!"

Wang Qi thanked him, but thought in his heart: Why return?Never come in here again, ever...

Sisi huddled up in her arms, very nervous, holding her neck tightly with her little hands:

"Mom, where are we going?"

"Nowhere, mommy will take Sisi to a very nice place where there is food and things to play. Sisi won't have to go hungry anymore, and no one will bully you!"

Wang Qi hugged her, touched Sisi's soft back, and shed tears.

"Mom, why are you crying? Sisi will be obedient in the future and won't make you angry."

After saying that, he wiped Wang Qi's face with his little hands:

"Mom, stop crying. We are going to such a wonderful place, why are you still crying? You should be happy!"

The sensible Sisi made Wang Qi feel even more distressed:

"Okay, don't cry, mother, we're just ahead."

Arrived ahead?
There is only Taihu Lake in front of us, turning a corner here peacefully. How did we get here?
Wang Qi stood by the lake and kissed Sisi's little face. This is her daughter. Today, they are going to end their lives here. Yes, she can't survive!
Sisi sensed something was wrong and put her arms around Wang Qi's neck: "Mom, Sisi is afraid..."

"Don't be afraid. Mom is here. Mom will always be here. We will never be separated!"

After saying that, Wang Qi's cold face was close to Sisi's little face:

"Sisi, mother is sorry for you, but only in this way can we... In the next life, you will be reincarnated into a better family, and you must be happy!"

After Wang Qi finished speaking, he walked into Taihu Lake with Sisi in his arms.

Sisi was a little flustered, but didn’t struggle:
"Mom, Sisi is afraid."

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes, we will be happy..."

Wang Qi firmly did not look back or hesitate until the cold water of Taihu Lake completely submerged the two people.

Luo Ning was sitting in the room of Dali Temple and heard the noise outside: "Zhu'er, what's going on outside today?"

Song Zhuer said happily:
"Today, the emperor commended some private shops, shops and so on, covering all industries. The people were very happy and went out to join in the fun!"

This is a good thing, being rewarded, on the one hand, it is an affirmation of oneself, on the other hand, the popularity will increase, and the business will get better and better.

“Which stores in our neighborhood have been selected?”

"I don't know. When I was in the Yamen, I heard that there were various departments. If you were selected by the emperor, your performance must be outstanding."

"I think the breakfast shop in front of us is good. The tea eggs are really delicious."

Luo Ning chuckled, as if he could smell the alluring aroma of tea again: "Unfortunately, her shop is too small, so she will definitely not be selected."

With that said, Meng Xiao walked in with a man wearing a brocade robe. The man even had a red flower slung across his shoulder. He looked as happy as he wanted.

Song Zhuer glanced at Luo Ning:
"Sir, why does he look like a groom?"

Luo Ning also smiled.

Meng Xiao walked in and introduced:
"Lord Luo, this is Bai Hao, the steward of the Fushou Hall. The Fushou Hall also received a commendation from the emperor today and happened to be in front of our Dali Temple."

Then he said to Bai Hao:
"This is our Lord Qing Luo of Dali Temple. You passed by our door. We haven't seen each other for several years, so you just happened to come in and have a chat."

Bai Hao was very shy after hearing this:
"I've met Mr. Luo, and I haven't done anything special, but I'm being praised by the emperor. I'm really embarrassed."

"Those are humble words, Master Luo. You don't know that this Fushou Hall not only helps the elderly, but also takes in many homeless orphans."

Meng Xiao's eyes were filled with approval:

"Fushoutang also provides assistance to people in need. Its kind deeds and kindness are admirable."

When Luo Ning heard this, it was true that Bai Hao had done so many good things despite his young age. No wonder he was praised by the emperor.

"Don't be polite, Bai. Doing good deeds is a good deed. This is something worth showing off. We all should learn from you." Luo Ning said sincerely.

Bai Hao smiled brightly:
"After receiving the award from the emperor this time, I will work harder in the future so that our Fushou Tang can help more people."

Meng Xiao nodded:
"We have known each other since childhood. I never imagined that you are so outstanding now! I am so happy for you."

Meng Xiao patted Bai Hao on the shoulder and said happily to Luo Ning: "Sir, let's go and chat for a while! We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Then I'll take my leave. Thank you, Mr. Luo."

Bai Hao bowed his head in greeting, whispered to Meng Xiao and walked out.

Bai Hao always had a smile on his face. It seems that today's award from the emperor has made him more sure of himself. It is estimated that more and more people will benefit from it in the future.

Luo Ning and Song Zhuer continued chatting, half an hour later Bai Hao left, and Meng Xiao walked in:
"Lord Luo, I really didn't expect that Bai Hao would receive a commendation from the emperor!"

"Have you known each other since childhood?" Luo Ning asked with a smile.

The long-lasting friendship along the way makes people sigh, and the emotions remain the same as the years change, which is rare!
"No, we haven't seen each other for almost five years. After I came to Dali Temple, I was busy with business all day, so we lost contact!"

Meng Xiao rarely chats with Luo Ning. Today is a gathering of old friends, so she can't contain her joy and her mood is naturally high.

"You've known each other since childhood, aren't you neighbors?"

Song Zhuer likes to chat the most, rambling here and there, and she can't help but ask questions.

"It was before, but then Bai Hao's parents died young, and he was the only one left. He sold his property and went out to learn crafts, and we lost contact."

"Where did we meet by chance today? On the street? What a coincidence!"

Luo Ning expressed his feelings.

"What I'm talking about is that today the emperor is awarding awards. These award-winners with red flowers are patrolling the city from east to west from outside the Meridian Gate to create momentum. Many people are watching. I even saw Mr. Qin!"

"I guess all the Jin Yiwei will be on patrol today. I guess he is busy today." Luo Ning said.

Several people were chatting lively, and the sound of gongs and drums continued to be heard outside.

Song Qingsong walked in.

Luo Ning saw that he was taking his time, as if something was wrong:
"Master Song is here?"

"Well, you guys are busy. I also passed by Dali Temple to have a seat. It's so lively today. Anyang City is about to boil."

Song Zhuer quickly poured tea for Mr. Song:
"Dad, are there any cases these days?"

Song Qingsong smiled:
"You girl, can't you let your father rest?"

Song Zhuer stuck out her tongue: "It's so boring!"

Song Qingsong shook his head:

"Nothing has happened recently, except that I found a four-year-old girl drowning the day before yesterday. I am now looking for her family, but it has been three days and no one has come!"

"A four-year-old child? So the parents have to take good care of the child. It's so pitiful that the family is going crazy with worry."

Luo Ning sighed.

Song Qingsong said:
"You misunderstood, Master Luo. After the child drowned, no one came to claim it."

"Isn't he a child of our Anyang City?"

This surprised Luo Ning.
