Chapter 629: The Old Temple in the Mountains (Part I)
At this time, Mr. Xiao patted Chen Fang on the shoulder, and the two of them drew the eyes of the surroundings to the mouth, and at this time, Huixian walked in front of Mr. Xiao.
"Chen Fang, my father, his old man, is rare to praise a man."
"Good daughter, my grandson-in-law is different from other men."
"Father, it's getting late, let's go to the dining hall for dinner together!"
"Good! Good! ”
Uncle Xiao got up, and didn't forget to pull his grandson-in-law, it's only been less than half a day today, but he likes his grandson-in-law very much.
Chen Fang naturally supported his grandfather at this time, this is his grandfather, he married Yiyang and Gao An, this is marrying each other's two granddaughters.
Chen Fang helped his grandfather to walk forward, and unconsciously looked at the jujube cane in his grandfather's hand, this cane grandfather has been holding it, at this time the distance is close, pay attention to some, but find that this cane is not only a little special in style, but also has four inscriptions on it, the font is not big, but when he saw these four words, Chen Fang unconsciously glanced at his grandfather.
Born early, I'm afraid this is the only such lettering. Others are eager to ask for children, but my grandfather is eager to ask for women. The jujube wood crutches that have been used are directly engraved with the words "early born noblewoman".
At this time, looking at the relationship between his grandfather and mother-in-law, he understands that he is afraid that what his grandfather likes at home is not his son, but his daughter.
It's no wonder that I want to live in Yunmeng Temple to accompany my daughter. And looking at my grandfather's attitude towards His Royal Highness An just now, I also like it very much, and I also like my grandson-in-law.
Chen Fang also sighed in his heart, his grandfather is a clear-eyed person, and he knows that his son is not as good as his daughter! This is a truth that many people in later generations have spent their entire lives to understand.
Walking all the way, Huixian accompanied Wu Meiniang, and Xiao Laozhang pulled Chen Fang, and walked to the dining hall at this time.
The dining hall of Yunmeng Temple is a large single room, but it is not subdivided, and the abbot and the elderly nuns in the temple are sitting with a group of little nuns and fasting.
The fasting of Yunmeng Temple is considered to be the best among these temples in the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, with the support of the Xiao family, the natural meal went to the next level.
There were more than 20 nuns sitting here, but no one spoke much at this time, Wu Meiniang and her party came in, melted the atmosphere, and didn't talk much, but the abbot Huijing asked a few nuns to give way, and the group sat down one after another.
The position of this sitting is also exquisite, Wu Meiniang is naturally the queen, she is in the right position, Huixian is next to her, but Uncle Xiao over there doesn't care much about the position of sitting, and Chen Fang and Gao An, who are naturally accompanied by her granddaughter and son-in-law.
Several princes and princesses sat casually, while Feng Yi and Ding Yu sat on the periphery.
The meal is simple, Chen Fang is drinking rice porridge, eating side dishes, and peeling eggs, which is also comfortable.
Although there is certainly no meat in the temple, the occasional vegetarian diet for meat eaters is also a kind of spice.
Chen Fang ate slowly, and saw that everyone over there was also eating slowly, and at this time, he looked around and saw a big static word posted on the wall.
It's a good thing to eat, but how many people don't understand, just as the dinner table is a place to connect feelings.
After eating, Huixian and Huijing personally arranged a place for Wu Meiniang and her party, Yunmeng Temple is very large, and there are many idle rooms, so it is simple to place Wu Meiniang and her party.
Wu Meiniang doesn't have too many requirements, as long as everyone lives in one place. It is convenient for Dingyu and Fengyi to guard, after all, it is not a secret thing for her to come to Jiangnan, although there is no fanfare along the way, but it is also a person who has a heart to notice it.
For the royal family who go out, safety is naturally the most important.
After arranging the accommodation, Xiao Laozhangfei pulled Chen Fang to chat for a while before letting his grandson-in-law rest.
Farewell to Uncle Xiao, Chen Fang naturally came to Wu Meiniang here for the first time. Because she lives in Yunmeng Temple, Wu Meiniang only brought Xiaoyu a maid by her side, of course, Zheng Jieyu also accompanied Wu Meiniang at this time.
Seeing Chen Fang come in, Wu Meiniang asked Xiaoyu to close the door.
"Chen Fang, what did you talk about with the old master?"
"It's all about the Tang Workshop, and the old man is very supportive of the Tang Workshop opening a branch in Jiangnan, but I didn't say anything, I still asked the mother first."
"The affairs of the South Workshop, if there is the support of the Xiao family, it is much easier to do. When you arrive in Jiangnan, no matter what you do, you can't get around the Jiangnan clan. ”
"Mei Niang's meaning, let the Xiao family also participate in the construction of the South Workshop."
"Well, you are the grandson-in-law of the Xiao family, but this relationship is a good breakthrough, and the old countryman also likes you very much. I brought you to Jiangnan this time, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect. ”
"Mei Niang, I think that in fact, the South Workshop can be used as a good link between Chang'an and Jiangnan, so that the connection between Jiangnan and Chang'an is much closer."
"Oh, tell me about it!"
Wu Meiniang was obviously interested, and at this time she took Chen Fang's hand and talked carefully about this matter with Chen Fang.
On the side, Zheng Jieyu asked Xiaoyu to step down, and she also sat next to her. At this time, Zheng Jieyu and Wu Meiniang had a bad relationship, and Wu Meiniang did not avoid her in anything.
"Today I talked to Lao Guozhang about a few things, planting rapeseed here in the Jianghan Plain, making clothes in embroidery workshops in various parts of the Xiao family, and the construction of the South Workshop. I think the old Guozhang is very interested in these things, and the only thing that is uncertain now is that the old Guozhang doesn't care about the Xiao family's affairs after all, and he doesn't know the meaning of the Xiao family's head of this matter, so he still has to go to Lanling to find out. ”
"No one in the Xiao family dares to disobey the old master's will, you don't have to worry about this, as long as the old countryman agrees, the Xiao family will agree."
"Mei Niang, if that's the case, I'll talk to the old man tomorrow so that the construction of the South Workshop can start as soon as possible. As long as the South Workshop is completed, I am confident that the South Workshop can slowly penetrate into the aristocratic life in the south of the Yangtze River, just like Chang'an, so that the nobles here will not be able to leave the South Workshop. ”
"What do you want the South Workshop to do like the North Workshop?"
Chen Fang nodded, for him, whether it is the south of the Yangtze River or the north, it is the land of China, and he naturally hopes that the Tang Workshop will bloom everywhere in the land of China.
"Well, you are in charge of this matter, if one day, the South Workshop has become the link between Chang'an and Jiangnan, you will be a great achievement."
Chen Fang said goodbye to Wu Meiniang, this is a temple, some things are still not done, and Wu Meiniang has always respected the Buddha, and doing the kind of things that the Buddhists absolutely can't tolerate here, Chen Fang is not enough.
Farewell to Wu Meiniang, Chen Fang practiced knives in a Zen courtyard, there was a white shadow, Chen Fang took the knife and chased the white shadow.
The white shadow turned around in the Yunmeng Temple, and after a while, out of the Yunmeng Temple, Chen Fang shouted, the white shadow stopped, looked at Chen Fang, and then pointed in a direction.
Chen Fang felt that there was something that attracted Xiaobai, but after all, at night, he couldn't go alone with Xiaobai at this time.
"Xiaobai, don't run here yet, wait for me to call someone!"
