Before, he seemed limp and boneless, but now it's as if he suddenly has a bone supporting him so he can stand more steadily and upright.

Song Qinglan knew that all the men in the Wen family were like this; they would suddenly get excited when they saw someone they liked.

Because Wen Zhengrong acted the same way when he faced her back then.

Song Qinglan looked at Yun Zhaozhao with a smile, and the more she looked, the more she felt that this one was indeed the best.

In fact, she was a typical person who loved everything about her son, thinking that if her son liked it, then it must be excellent. In fact, even if Yun Zhaozhao Yun Zhaozhao were just an ordinary-looking person, Song Qinglan would still like her, no matter how beautiful she was. Because before she came, she had already accepted Yun Zhaozhao's appearance in any way she wanted.

When facing elders, especially a client like Wen Zhengrong, Yun Zhaozhao was very polite and courteous, taking the initiative to step forward and shake hands. " President Wen, Mrs. Wen, welcome to Clear Breeze Temple."

Wen Zhengrong: " Temple Master Yun, you're too kind. We're just here for a casual stroll today. You don't need to make a fuss about us; just treat us like any other tourists."

Before Yun Zhaozhao could speak, Wen Xu interjected, "Dad, you can rest assured about that. She treats everyone basically the same. After all, every time I came here before, I was treated like an ordinary tourist."

Yun Zhaozhao tried to defend herself. "... It's not that bad. I'm generally a fairly warm and hospitable person."

Song Qinglan, standing nearby, said, "Of course, I can tell. You're so busy, yet you still made a special trip to the temple gate to pick us up. That shows your enthusiasm. Unlike some people who, after arriving in City A, don't even remember to call home."

Suddenly struck by a remark, Wen Xu, "???" Didn't you tell me not to call back and disturb your time with Dad? You also said you finally got rid of your son and wanted some peace and quiet?

Chapter 127

Yun Zhaozhao doesn't actually accompany tourists to Clear Breeze Temple much. The last time she took the initiative to accompany someone to Clear Breeze Temple was with Daoist Jingyang.

At that time, Daoist Jingyang gave Yun Zhaozhao a very good suggestion, but although Yun Zhaozhao listened to it, she did not adopt it.

When Wen Xu's parents came this time, Yun Zhaozhao thought about it and decided not to accompany them in person.

Just then, Lin Banxia volunteered to accompany Wen Xu and his family of three shopping, so Yun Zhaozhao casually made up an excuse about work and left first.

Although Song Qinglan wanted to spend more time with Yun Zhaozhao, she had already learned the importance of prioritizing work under Wen Zhengrong's guidance over the years, so she quite admired Yun Zhaozhao's calmness and rationality.

As for Wen Zhengrong, he didn't think much of it. In fact, he was completely unaware of his wife and son's little schemes; he naively believed that this was just a meeting with an ordinary client!

So among this group, only Wen Xu was a little reluctant to leave. After all, he had finally come all this way, and he hadn't had many opportunities to spend more time with Yun Zhaozhao, so it was understandable that he was a bit emotionally vulnerable!

As a seasoned shipper, Lin Banxia immediately realized something when she saw Wen Xu's gaze as he watched Yun Zhaozhao leave: Hey, this is promising. It seems my ship hasn't completely ended yet.

Although Lin Banxia volunteered to be a free tour guide for Wen Zhengrong and his family of three, she herself had never really explored Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple properly since she arrived there. After all, she wasn't a member of the Daoist sect, and her initial visit to Clear Breeze Temple wasn't voluntary; she was practically forced there by her grandfather.

Fortunately, although the selection of the Five Good Daoist Temples has ended, Clear Breeze Temple still retains its electronic guide. Therefore, Lin Banxia only needs to arrange an electronic guide for each person to perfectly solve the tour of Clear Breeze Temple.

Wen Zhengrong and Song Qinglan were both very interested in the fact that a Daoist temple like Clear Breeze Temple had an electronic guide. Before coming, they were worried that they might make a fool of themselves by not understanding the rules of worship, but now, with the thoughtful companionship and explanation of this electronic guide, they had no more worries.

Most businessmen have a bit of faith in the gods, preferring to believe it rather than not. So, after praying along the way, Wen Zhengrong and Song Qinglan saw...

They would kneel and worship the gods, and put money in the donation box whenever they saw one.

Lin Banxia followed behind, watching President Wen. and Mrs. Wen swiftly tossing money into the donation box. She felt even more satisfied with the marriage: It seemed the Wen family was indeed a wealthy and powerful family! And judging by their generosity, they weren't the stingy type. If Temple Master Yun ... no, no, if young Young President Wen marry into the family, they probably wouldn't mistreat Temple Master Yun.

For some reason, neither Lin Banxia nor the others at Clear Breeze Temple thought about Yun Zhaozhao marrying out. Everyone felt that even if Yun Zhaozhao were to get married in the future, she would definitely want to find a son-in-law from Clear Breeze Temple.

In other words, although Young President Wen a good man, he can only marry into Clear Breeze Temple.

For Lin Banxia, the backyard of Clear Breeze Temple and the Daoist medical clinic were her main base. So after Wen Zhengrong and Song Qinglan finished worshiping the gods in the front yard of Clear Breeze Temple, Lin Banxia took the President Wen couple and Wen Xu to the backyard of Clear Breeze Temple.

The backyard of Clear Breeze Temple is now completely different from what it used to be.

I remember when Lin Banxia first came to Clear Breeze Temple, the backyard was a wasteland, lacking everything. Now, the backyard is full of flowers and fragrant fruits, and most importantly, it has Chinese herbal medicines that can treat various ailments. Moreover, a crystal-clear stream encircles the entire back garden like a jade belt, adding infinite charm to this already beautiful back garden.

As soon as Song Qinglan stepped through the gate to the backyard of Clear Breeze Temple, she couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, this place is so beautiful! It doesn't look like a Daoist temple at all; it's more like a resort!"

Lin Banxia: "It's alright, but this isn't its most beautiful time yet. It's truly breathtaking in late summer and early autumn!"

Song Qinglan was filled with emotion. "Is this all the idea of your Temple Master Yun?"

Actually, at least half the credit for this back garden should go to Lin Banxia, but in front of Wen Xu's parents, Lin Banxia didn't take credit for herself at all, giving Yun Zhaozhao plenty of face. "Of course, our Abbot is very capable. Not only did our Abbot build Clear Breeze Temple and this back garden, but she also opened a Daoist temple guesthouse! Oh, and by the way, the agricultural breeding base that you're cooperating with, President Wen, is also Temple Master Yun's doing."

Song Qinglan: "Your Temple Master Yun is so young, yet his skills are truly remarkable. Isn't that right, Old Wen?"

Wen Zhengrong nodded. "She's really amazing. Starting a business these days is very difficult. Many people find it quite difficult to do even one thing well. She's the type who does many things well. Wen Xu, you should visit Temple Master Yun more often and learn from her!"

In the past, when Wen Zhengrong asked Wen Xu to learn from a senior business executive, Wen Xu always seemed reluctant. Wen Zhengrong sometimes felt that her son was a bit reckless. But this time, to Wen Zhengrong's surprise, her son agreed very willingly, so readily that Wen Zhengrong was a little taken aback.

Wen Xu: "Sure!"

Wen Xu: "However, I have a lot of things to do at the factory. In the future, could I delegate some of the management work to Huang Xi, and then I can spend more time at Clear Breeze Temple... like you said, come and learn from Temple Master Yun more often?"

Song Qinglan, who saw right through her son's thoughts, said, "Are you trying to learn from the scriptures? I think you just want to get married."

-

Although Yun Zhaozhao did not accompany Mr. and Mrs. Wen Zhengrong to visit Clear Breeze Temple, President Wen was, after all, a major client of Clear Breeze Temple Clear Breeze Temple. So that evening, she still treated President Wen and his family of three to a sumptuous dinner at the temple's canteen.

Wen Xu hadn't eaten at Clear Breeze Temple for a while, especially since this meal was with Yun Zhaozhao. So, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he was in a very cheerful mood, which was clearly different from his attitude when he accompanied his parents to stroll around Clear Breeze Temple earlier.

Song Qinglan glanced at him sideways. "It's just a meal, why are you so happy?"

Wen Xu: "I'm so happy! The food at Clear Breeze Temple Temple's canteen is delicious. You'll see when you try it."

Song Qinglan didn't take her son's words too seriously. After all, her son was clearly infatuated with love. She figured if Yun Zhaozhao offered him grass, he would say it was delicious.

When the food was served, Song Qinglan tasted it and found it to be delicious.

Today, the dishes cooked by the Daoist Chang Kong were braised ribbonfish, stir-fried greens with pork cracklings, steamed clams with egg custard, garlic lotus root and shrimp, and pork rib soup with poria and matsutake mushrooms. The staple food was apple oatmeal millet porridge.

Song Qinglan rarely cooks at home, but she has eaten many delicious meals. However, she has never seen a combination like apple oatmeal millet porridge before.

Several seemingly unrelated ingredients were cooked together into a porridge, which surprisingly tasted quite good, with the sweetness of oats and millet, and a subtle apple fragrance.

Song Qinglan couldn't help but drink several bowls of this porridge.

Wen Zhengrong was also very satisfied with the food at Clear Breeze Temple, but Song Qinglan could only think about how delicious it was, while Wen Zhengrong could only think, "It's so delicious, Temple Master Yun, don't you really consider opening a branch?"

Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but glance at Wen Xu, thinking to herself: These two are truly father and son; Wen Xu thought the same thing back then.

Wen Xu truly lives up to his reputation as the number one interpreter of Yun Zhaozhao's eyes. He instantly understood Yun Zhaozhao 'Yun Zhaozhao gaze after just one glance at him.

Wen Xu: "There's nothing I can do; after all, they're father and son."

He then added, "They can't open it. They only have one head chef, and he can't be in two places at once. However, this chef later trained two good apprentices, so now they've opened a new canteen within Clear Breeze Temple. But most of their regular customers still eat at this canteen, like me."
