Chapter 15 Final Strike Fifteen

South Shaolin is just an abbreviation, the full name is Shaolin Temple, Putian Yong'an Temple. In order to distinguish it from Songshan Shaolin Temple, everyone habitually calls it South Shaolin. In fact, the locals are still the flowers and birds of South Shaolin for Yong'an Temple, and the monks in the temple call Songshan Shaolin Temple as the main courtyard, and South Shaolin as the lower courtyard. Yong'an Temple is the original name of South Shaolin, or the original name can also be called, that is to say, South Shaolin is expanded on the basis of Yong'an Temple. Later, due to various reasons, the fame of Southern Shaolin became more and more famous, resulting in the name of Yong'an Temple being directly replaced by Southern Shaolin.

The general temple is almost the same as the yamen, and even a bit of a palace pattern. Most of the temples sit in the north and face south, but the mountain gate of Yong'an Temple is the opposite. Everyone calls this phenomenon South Shaolin respects North Shaolin, the mountain gate faces north, and the whole temple pattern comes to sit south and face north. In fact, this is only the first layer of meaning, the reason why Yong'an Temple is like this is to commemorate an ancestor named Yide.

Speaking of this Yide Patriarch, he is really a legendary person, and his story is also a household name in the local area. It is said that the ancestor Yide is a descendant of the British Gong Zhang Fu, a famous noble son of the Ming Dynasty. The British Gong Zhang Fu is not only the founding father, but also the hero of the dragon who helped Ming Chengzu Zhu Di seize the throne. If it weren't for the Ming Taizu Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who had a strict order that "a different surname is not crowned a king", Zhang Fu would definitely be qualified to be named a prince by the imperial court. In order to make up for this shortcoming, and also to win over the heroes, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di allowed Zhang Fu and several other great heroes to have their titles hereditary. In other words, even if their descendants have no credit to the imperial court, they can still inherit and enjoy the honorary status of their fathers. This is an honor and a privilege, the reason why Zhang Fu and others helped Zhu Di rebel was for the wealth of future generations and their own glory, so they were in favor of Zhu Di's decision. Patriarch Yide is the direct descendant of the British Gong Zhang Fu, the British Young Master at that time.

In the first half of his life, Patriarch Yide was almost worry-free about food and clothing, and lived a happy life. grew up being spoiled by frightened people, and her father didn't have any requirements for her. He doesn't need to study to gain fame, nor does he need to learn martial arts, he has fame and wealth from birth. The people in the house call him the young master, and the outsiders call him the young prince or the little lord, and almost no one dares to care about his affairs. His parents absolutely doted on him, and there was no pressure, so his little life could be said to be no better. In fact, his free life is better than Jia Baoyu in "Dream of Red Mansions".

At the age of thirteen, he went to Beijing for the first time to meet the emperor on behalf of his family, and he made everyone's eyes shine. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor didn't have a suitable daughter, Patriarch Yide might have become the emperor's son-in-law. The British public has produced a beautiful man like a golden boy, which makes many young ladies of the noble family very tempted. These young ladies of the noble family have a very high status, and they will not and are not allowed to marry people who are officials, and they don't look down on ordinary people, so it is difficult for them to do major things in their lives. The British Duke came out with such a hearty person, and he was so anxious that all the nobles in Beijing came to visit. Nominally, it is to visit Patriarch Yide, but in fact, to see if Patriarch Yide is really worthy of his name. Everyone who has seen Patriarch Yide said that he was a golden boy in the sky, an absolutely otherworldly beautiful man. Xungui, who has a daughter and sister at home, is anxious to introduce the girl of his family to Patriarch Yide. It is said that in order to meet Patriarch Yide as soon as possible, the nobles almost fought in order to line up. On this side, there was a big fight in order to queue up, and on the other side, the honorable ladies attracted Patriarch Yide to buy clothes and jewelry for the most beautiful appearance. Suddenly, the precious jewelry in the capital was thirty percent more expensive, all the famous tailors were booked, and even the good fabrics were sold out.

Patriarch Yide was impatient with these entertainments, so he pushed the trouble to his parents on the grounds that the marriage was decided by his parents. Unexpectedly, when he went back, he found that there were too many guests at home. These nobles are not short of money, and in order to marry the British princess, they simply brought their own girls to the British princess for a walk. The girls were originally a little resistant, but after seeing the portrait of Patriarch Yide, they urged their families to act quickly. When Patriarch Yide returned to his home, there were no less than twenty young ladies in the family looking at him with fierce eyes. The sparkle in their eyes when they saw Patriarch Yide surprised Patriarch Yide.

It is impossible for the British Duke to leave all the young ladies at once, and even if the British Duke wants to do this, the nobles will not do it. Although the families of these people are not as good as the British princesses, they are also the most high-end families of the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for the young lady of the Xungui family to be a wife for people from other families, let alone a concubine. The Duchess of England had a private contact with these ladies and got to know them well. Then an experienced mother-in-law secretly observed the words and deeds of the young ladies, as well as the health of the young ladies. In the end, three candidates were selected and left to Patriarch Yide to choose by himself. These ladies are all beautiful ladies, have certain etiquette and rules to teach, and also know some female celebrities or cooking. But there will always be a difference between people, not to mention that there are too many things to do in the mansion, so you have to be careful. Madame did this and it really worked, not only found that a few of the young ladies had bad tempers and were easy to cause family conflicts, but also found a few unruly girls. These girls are either mature prematurely or have already had a relationship with a man, and this kind of woman must not enter the house to be her daughter-in-law. For the sake of everyone's face and the reputation of the noble family, Mrs. did not directly break it, but privately informed the people of her family to pay attention to it, never to have anything to do with this kind of girl's family, and the discipline of the family with questionable girls' moral character is a big deal.

Patriarch Yide's luck is really good, the three candidates have good morals and appearances, and they are all the best choices for the daughters-in-law of large families. Because this time the eldest daughter-in-law is going to be elected for the British public, and the person selected is immediately the British duchess who is the eldest and youngest grandmother of the British princess, so you need to be extra careful and serious. For the sake of safety, the British public secret invited a doctor who is proficient in gynecology and pediatrics to take the pulse of the three candidates and predict future health and child problems. After taking the pulse of this imperial doctor, the three candidates are all in good health, among which Miss Xue is not only exceptionally healthy but also may have the most children. Miss Xue was originally the most satisfactory candidate for the British duchess, so the British duchess felt that this girl could be the British duchess and young grandmother. Patriarch Yide simply agreed without his own opinions, and the matter of the British public election of the eldest daughter-in-law was decided. Although there are many people who are disappointed, and there are many young ladies who are sad, but this kind of thing will definitely happen, after all, there is only one Yide Patriarch, and there will definitely be many people who are not selected.

The British duke hired his son, and the two parties decided to officially complete the marriage a year later. A year later, Miss Xue officially entered the door and became the young grandmother of the British Public University, and Patriarch Yide became the husband of Miss Xue. Patriarch Yide was worried that Miss Xue had a bad temper and would be difficult to get along with, but he didn't expect that this Miss Xue family had a very docile personality, and the two young people immediately warmed up and became an inseparable couple. The family is the top family of the Ming Dynasty, the father is the current Daming Super Yipin British Duke, the mother is the young lady of the Xungui family, the current British Duchess is the current British Duchess, she is the future heir of the British Duke, and his wife is the eldest lady of the Xue family, who gave birth to three lovely children in the three years after entering the door, and Yide Patriarch can be said to be the most perfect life.

But this perfection was immediately shattered, so that Patriarch Yide had no time to guard against and bear it. A sudden wind chill caused Patriarch Yide to fall into a coma. When Patriarch Yide woke up, the originally happy family changed. The old father and his two young children were not so lucky and did not persevere and died. Patriarch Yide did not have time to adapt to the pain of losing his son, so he was forced to enter Beijing to inherit the status of the British duke. Because Miss Xue was pregnant again and couldn't go with Patriarch Yide, Patriarch Yide had to go to Beijing alone. The body that has not fully recovered, coupled with the pain of losing his father and son, has changed the handsome Patriarch Yide. The British Duke has been too flamboyant over the years, and Patriarch Yide is too famous, so the royal family and other nobles decided to join forces to fight Patriarch Yide. Everyone knows that although Patriarch Yide is good-looking, he has no knowledge, so he deliberately made a difficult question to test the new British duke. Patriarch Yide was defenseless and really uneducated, so this time he was greatly embarrassed. In the capital, in front of the emperor, Patriarch Yide became a laughing stock, and the nobles were disappointed in Patriarch Yide.
