Chapter 207 The benefactor is above
Ma Mingfeng was very shocked by Chen Yuanyuan's decision, but he could understand it even if he thought about it. After all, in history, Chen Yuanyuan finally became a monk, but it was twenty or thirty years later. However, if Chen Yuanyuan chose this experience, she would rather choose to become a monk early, because at that time she had already been infamous and became the image of Daji and the likes of the country and the people. She also experienced the struggle between Liu Zongmin, Wu Sangui and others, and finally saw Wu Sangui's treacherous and cold-blooded ruthlessness.
Such a life experience is really too painful. Ma Mingfeng would rather not let her experience these things and become a monk cleanly.
However, the problem now is that Chen Yuanyuan has been rescued from Tian Hongyu, and she should not have to experience this in the future. She just needs to sing quietly in Meixianglou, which is enough to enjoy the prosperity of the future, and there is no need to walk out of the road of monks again.
Although he didn't understand, Ma Mingfeng respected Chen Yuanyuan's choice. After all, this was the other party's own decision and he had no reason to stop him.
Therefore, Ma Mingfeng could only let Chen Yuanyuan leave. However, given the previous friendship, Ma Mingfeng carefully selected a famous temple, Jiming Temple, for Chen Yuanyuan, and suggested that Chen Yuanyuan become a monk there.
Jiming Temple is one of the most famous temples in Nanjing. It was built by Emperor Wu of Liang during the Southern Dynasties. It has become a holy place for the nuns to practice. Chen Yuanyuan naturally knows this place. She has long been keen on this temple. Now Ma Mingfeng has chosen such a place for her, which shows her intentions.
Chen Yuanyuan naturally agreed without hesitation, but what she could not imagine was that Ma Mingfeng had secretly sent someone to Jiming Temple to donate 1,000 taels of silver as the cost of repairing the temple, with the purpose of asking the abbot, Master Jinghui, to take care of her and allow her to lead her hair to practice.
Ma Mingfeng did this out of kindness, but he didn't know that his kindness brought you a disaster to Chen Yuanyuan.
Of course, this is all for the future. Ma Mingfeng naturally doesn't know so much now. He is just trying his best to help those who once had friendship with him.
At this time, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly said to Ma Mingfeng: "Mr. Ma, my personal matter has been solved, but there is still someone who needs to be arranged now. Please help me take care of it."
"Ah? I wonder who Sister Chen is talking about?" Ma Mingfeng was very surprised and said to Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan then returned to the place where he was under house arrest and pulled a woman in his thirty years old and said to Ma Mingfeng: "This means that his surname is Yang and his name is Wan. He lived in Nanjing seventeen years ago and later married Mao Zhisheng. Unfortunately, Lord Mao died of grief and anger three years ago. Sister Yang, as his widow, was actually robbed by Tian Hongyu. If it weren't for the help of the adults, he would probably end up like me. Now I have decided to become a monk, but what should this sister Yang do? I would also ask for an idea."
When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he was shocked and asked quickly: "Is the Mao Zhisheng who my sister just mentioned Mao Yuanyi who wrote "Wu Bei Zhi"?"
"Who else isn't him? Mao Yuanyi is both civil and military, and has outstanding talents. She is really a good match with Sister Yang. It's a pity that such a person died young, which made Sister Yang suffer such a disaster."
"It turns out to be Mao Yuanyi's wife, I should pay my respects."
After Ma Mingfeng finished speaking, he sorted out his clothes and bowed respectfully to Yang Wan: "I don't know if it's Mrs. Yang here, so I have many rude things. Please forgive me."
When Yang Wan heard this, she hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Mao Yuanyi has become a thing of the past, and I am already the yellow flower of yesterday. This adult is so kind, I really don't dare to be the one..."
However, Ma Mingfeng solemnly said: "General Mao is both civil and military, and has outstanding talents. It's a pity that he cannot perform his skills but dies young. This is true for that poem. He died before he succeeds, which makes the hero cry. Not to mention that his "Wu Bei Zhi" influences future generations. The officials have always admired him for a long time. Being able to see his wife today is a response from God to me to admire such a hero."
After hearing this, Yang Wan burst into tears. After a long time, she choked and said, "There are people in this world who remember Mao Yuanyi, husband, if you know you, you should be able to rest in your eyes. I don't know that this master respects his surname and name? If I say it to my husband, I believe he will be relieved in the nine springs."
Ma Mingfeng hurriedly said, "Xiaoguan Guiyang Prefecture Ma Mingfeng."
"Ma Mingfeng?" Yang Wan felt a little familiar after hearing this name, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment, and she was a little confused.
But Chen Yuanyuan stepped forward and said, "This is the former governor of Henan, Ma Luanma. He is now appointed as the governor of Jinghai by the emperor and is responsible for trading with Westerners..."
"It turns out to be Governor Ma!" Yang Wan was shocked when she heard the name and said to Ma Mingfeng: "I have heard of the name for a long time. Governor Ma led the Henan military and civilians to bravely fight against the three attacks of the robbers. In the end, he did not surrender. If it weren't for the traitors' destruction, the robbers would have probably been out of the way. Not only that, the lord also successfully migrated millions of people from Henan, so that they could avoid the disaster of war. Such merits are simply the birth of thousands of families. The lord has such a reputation and status that not only saved me, but also treated me as a vassal, which is really touching."
Yang Wan bowed and then said to Ma Mingfeng: "I have something private to tell you, and I pray that you can give you a space to be alone."
Ma Mingfeng thought for a while and said, "Zhujing had a boudoir here at the beginning. Fortunately, after he was out of the family, the boudoir here had to be retained. If the wife did not dislike him, she could go there to talk about it. However, this matter involves the wife's reputation. If you and I are alone, not only will we be bad to the wife, but we are also disrespectful to Mr. Mao. Therefore, I beg you to take my maid with you with me. Don't worry, my maid is definitely trustworthy and will not say a word to the outside."
"Maid?" Yang Wan looked at a graceful woman behind Ma Mingfeng, and vaguely felt that this woman was no less than when she was younger than when she was. She was just a maid?
But Gu Mei smiled and said, "You may not know that this person is not an ordinary person. He was once a famous courtesan on the Qinhuai River. Does anyone know about Kou Baimen in Shanlan Tower?"
Although Gu Mei's words were praising Kou Baimen on the surface, they were satirizing the past history of Kou Baimen, which made Ma Mingfeng feel a little unhappy. Unexpectedly, this woman was so petty. She just pointed out the matter between her and Mao Pijiang, and she was actually waiting here.
