Long Huamin saw Wei Liangqing making a joke on his head, and hurriedly said: "I am in my sixties this year, and I will not have anything to do with this lady, I know that women in the Ming Dynasty pay attention to chastity, and we monks also have a lot of precepts, so please don't say that." ”

Wei Liangqing nodded and said: "It's also true, you are really not a good match in terms of age, but if the woman is willing, it is nothing, but I am not the one who came to be a matchmaker for others, I just want to know who you were here last night who went to the city to go to the Jade Courtyard to make a night." ”

Long Huamin said categorically: "Our people are very clean and self-loving, and they definitely didn't do those things!" ”

The woman who jumped out of the sedan chair was once again angered by Long Huamin's words, and he said angrily: "We are all naturalized people who pay taxes according to the law, you red-haired ghost actually said that we are not clean and self-loving, and tell you that you don't look down on our old lady and don't look down on you. ”

Long Huamin has been in the Ming Dynasty for thirty years, although he has never been to the fireworks place, but he has also heard of the famous hall inside, at this time he said: "It turns out that you are not the lady who picks up the guests but the boss, it seems that someone deliberately got along with us and let you frame you, now can you tell me what is going on?" ”

The woman knew that she had said the wrong thing, but she was unconvinced and said, "Lady, I am the owner of the Jade Courtyard, what's wrong?" Who said that the boss can't do business himself? Just because you red-haired ghosts don't look down on the old lady doesn't mean that others don't have vision! ”

Long Huamin said: "Very good, even if you are very attractive, but you finally admit that our people here have nothing to do with your guests last night, now I would like to know who invited you to make trouble, if not, I will report to the officials in Beijing and even the emperor, and when the time comes, you will be cut off, all your property will be confiscated, and you will be punished!" ”

Seeing Long Huamin threatening the woman, Wei Liangqing said, "Mr. Long, she only said that her guest last night was not your red hair...... This foreigner did not say that he was not from your place. In addition to you pure Tessie, there are many second devils, such as which John Chen, even the name of his parents is definitely not a good thing, it is hard to guarantee that they will do such a thing. ”

Long Huamin nodded and said: "Lord Xiao Wei has a point, so let's do it, no matter who it is, I will first exchange the dragon pattern silver dollar issued by Da Ming for the eagle pattern silver dollar, please this lady go home immediately and don't make an impact here, as for who it is, I will check it slowly, you can see it?" ”

Seeing Wei Liangqing nodded slightly, the woman took the money and got into the sedan chair and let people carry it away, and the surrounding onlookers also dispersed when they saw that there was no good show→ Huamin slowly returned to the room, and saw Wei Liangqing follow in and sat down to drink tea opposite, Long Huamin said softly to Wei Liangqing: "If I didn't guess wrong, this woman is Xiao Wei, you invited her, right?" ”

Wei Liangqing nodded briskly and said, "Yes, I have invited several groups of people, and this is the beginning." ”

Long Huamin took a deep breath and asked, "Who else will do next?" ”

Wei Liangqing said: "Since Mr. Long is so curious, I will be merciful to tell you that in two days, the treasury silver of the government will be stolen, and finally these treasury silver will appear here underground, although it will not be sure that Mr. Long stole it, but there should be no problem in investigating such a big case for ten days and a half months, right?" Half a month later, the officers and soldiers will capture a group of bandits on the opposite mountain, and they will insist that their big leader is a blonde and blue-eyed person like Mr. Long. Also, if you still insist on baptizing Feng Xianglongxing, then a group of orphans will come up and hug your legs to recognize your father, will you recognize it? ”

Seeing Long Huamin's ugly face, Wei Liangqing said earnestly: "Actually, I have no conflict of interest with Mr. Long, and I still admire a person like you who has faith and can persevere, if I want me to be like you for decades without touching a woman, I think I can't do it, why should Mr. Long get along with me?" ”

Long Huamin said angrily: "It's always Lord Xiao Wei who can't get along with us!" ”

Wei Liangqing said: "The problem is that you insist on letting Feng Xianglong join the sect, do you know who Feng Xianglong is?" That's the uncle of the country, it's the brother of the lady in the palace, the uncle of the current prince, the current prince is the future emperor, aren't you doing this with yourself? You can't get along with yourself, not to mention that you are still with your apprentices and grandchildren, you don't want the crown prince to become the emperor many years later and uproot your Taixi people, right? ”

Long Huamin thought for a while and said, "Although the emperor has an opinion on us Jesus, he has not stopped us from preaching in Daming. ”

Wei Liangqing sneered: "Today, the emperor does not do things to people based on personal likes and dislikes, he allows you to preach in Daming because you have use value, if one day your use value is gone, do you think the emperor will pull you out and chop you up and feed the dogs?" Anyway, there are only two of us here who are not afraid of you saying it, you have been in Daming for decades, and there is an old saying that 'the birds are good and the bow is hidden, and the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackeys are cooked.' , Mr. Long must have heard of it, if you want to act in the long run, you must make you more and more valuable, how to do I don't know but one thing is not to offend people, otherwise there will be a lot of people who fall into the well when you are unlucky. ”

Long Huamin said: "I see that many officials in the Ming Dynasty believe in Catholicism, and many officials are ready to raise their own funds to build Catholic churches everywhere. ”

Wei Liangqing said: "You are talking about civil officials, right? Those who were civil officials in the Ming Dynasty were all scholars, and the education they received from their children was full of loyalty to the monarch and love the people, and your brainwashing techniques did not work for them. I'm not afraid to tell you, even if you are a Catholic official, they are first of all the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and then they are Catholics, if the emperor gives an order that you endanger the safety of the Ming Dynasty and will slaughter you all, those officials who have entered the Catholic Church will not blink their eyes and will bring people to kill you. ”

Long Huamin said: "The emperor doesn't even care about his own officials, and he cares about other people? ”

Wei Liangqing said: "Why don't you understand? There are three kinds of people that the emperor cares about the most, one is the soldier with a weapon in hand, the second is the rich businessman at home, and the third is the people who are easily deceived and deceived. I don't need to say much about the soldiers, if you really want the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to believe in God, I'm afraid that there will be many people who will come to clean you up, and the reason why I want to follow you closely is because I am afraid that you will lure more people like John Chen to you, but now you are actually going to touch the merchants, I really don't know whether to live or die. ”

Long Huamin thought for a while and said: "I understand, it turns out that the emperor doesn't like us to be close to the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty, I can persuade Mr. Feng not to join the religion for the time being, but I will not say that we are liars like Lord Xiao Wei said, we Jesuit priests are sincere people and do not deceive, please believe us." ”

Wei Liangqing was overjoyed and said: "I believe that people like Mr. Long are sincere gentlemen, in this case, we will still be good friends in the future, and no one will come to trouble you inexplicably in the future." There will be no problem with Chongguo Temple at the beginning, I know that Chongguo Temple is a quiet place to practice, if you think that there is a Chongyin Temple fifty miles away, you can buy it if you like. ”

One day in the second half of winter, Tianqi was talking to the queen and them in the Kunning Palace, and by the way, he heard Wang Tiqian talk about Feng Xianglong's entry into the church, Wang Tiqian said that after persuasion, Feng Xianglong no longer insisted on joining the religion, and he would not have this idea for at least three months, and by the way, he told him about his conversation with Feng Xianglong. He also said that Long Huamin, who was in charge of Catholic affairs in Nanjing, also said that Feng Xianglong did not meet the conditions for joining the Church at present, and that he would continue to investigate him for a few more years, so that there would be no such thing for at least a few years.

Wang Tiqian, who looked at the dusty and servant, said: "You have worked hard, it seems that you and old ministers like Wei Zhongxian are still very effective at critical times, you go down to rest for a few days and come immediately, there are many things in the palace, you have to keep an eye on it." ”

Wang Tiqian saw that the apocalypse praised himself, and there was still a meaning of reuse in his words, and immediately said: "Thank you to the emperor, the slave must do his best!" ”

After Wang Tiqian left, the queen said: "Feng Cairen's elder brother said that Confucius and Mencius were only saints in the minds of scholars, and that Jesus was the saint admired by all people, could it be that Jesus's knowledge was higher than that of Confucius and Mencius?" ”

Feng Siqin said: "That's the crazy thing that the concubine's brother was bewitched by a foreign monk, the mother must not be taken seriously, who else in the world is more knowledgeable than Confucius?" ”

Zhang Chunying smiled slightly when she heard Feng Siqin's words, but she didn't make a sound, and Tianqi glanced at her and said, "I don't know how that Jesus is learned, but it is true that he has more means than Confucius and Mencius." Confucius once felt inferior because he let go of the puffed horses when he was young, and said, 'I am young and cheap, in this way, the people around me also know that Confucius has always taken the upper line to look down on ordinary people, so he ridiculed him as 'the four bodies are not diligent, the five grains are not divided, he was besieged by the people in Chen, Cai and other places, one is a misunderstanding, but the other reason is that he looks down on ordinary people. ”

The queen asked, "According to what the emperor said, then Jesus looks up to ordinary people very much?" ”

Apocalypse said: "It is said that the Jesuit will forgive the means, and find a few people to pretend to be blind and lame and dumb in advance, and when he touches it with his hand or sprinkles some water, the blind man immediately opens his eyes and looks at people, and the mute man also speaks fluently, and the lame man walks like a fly and runs non-stop, do you believe that this is really the case?" Moreover, he took the people-friendly route, and often took some dried fish and flatbread to help the poor, and the fish next to the word Jesus is a clear proof that he often uses dried fish to gain people's trust. ”

Everyone couldn't help but smile and shake their heads when they heard the words of the apocalypse, and the queen asked Zhang Chunying at this time: "Zhang Meiren was laughing from the beginning, I don't know what you are laughing at?" ”

Zhang Chunying said: "I began to listen to Sister Siqin talk about Confucius, I suddenly remembered that two days ago, I went to see the Empress Dowager Liu with Sister Sanlang, and the Empress Dowager Liu was in good spirits and told us the story of Confucius. ”

The queen nodded and asked, "What story does the Empress Dowager Liu tell about Confucius?" ”

Zhang Chunying said: "Empress Dowager Liu said that once upon a time, there was a stupid son-in-law who had to take his daughter-in-law back to meet her father-in-law after getting married, and his daughter-in-law only knew that her husband was a little stupid, and she just wanted to earn some face in front of her parents and siblings. She thought that her father loved to test others two questions, one was who was the oldest in the world, and the other was who was the most knowledgeable in the world, and she was afraid that her husband would not be able to answer it when the time came, so she told him to let him remember that the oldest in the world was King Pangu, and the most learned was Confucius, afraid that he would not remember to carry a leaky plate in his arms, so that he would think of Confucius when he touched the hole on the leaky plate, and remembered King Pangu when he touched the plate. ”

Feng Siqin nodded and said: "A woman marrying a stupid husband who even Confucius and King Pangu don't know is ruined, and her life is ruined, but she can still think about how to help her husband, and she can be regarded as a strong person, I don't know if her husband can answer her father's question, or her father has other problems, right?" ”

Zhang Chunying said: "No, this woman's father is asking these two questions, but this stupid son-in-law forgot when he was nervous, when the old man asked who was the oldest in the world, he touched the plate and said that it was the king of Biangu." When his father-in-law asked who had the highest knowledge in the world, he felt that the hole on the leaky plate was round, so he opened his mouth and said that it was a round master, which immediately made the old man unhappy, and made several other brothers-in-law and brother-in-law laugh. ”

The queen shook her head and said, "People know that King Pangu opened the world and Confucius is the master of all ages, and this stupid son-in-law must make people laugh when he says this." ”

Zhang Chunying said: "Yes, his father-in-law also questioned him like this, who knows that this stupid son-in-law is stupid but has quick wisdom, he said vigorously: 'Master Yuan is Confucius's teacher, the teacher must be more knowledgeable than the student, King Bian Gu is the father of King Pangu, and the father must be older than his son!'" , Although everyone knows that he is talking nonsense, he has nothing to refute, is it interesting that you say this stupid son-in-law? ”

Apocalypse said: "People who are quick and wise will not be fools, many people are pigs with a bright heart, we can't look at a dead person from the outside." You and the three waves of the old queen mother to talk and smile with her, this means that you do not forget the original is a good thing, we should not forget the book now, first take out the mahjong and rub a few circles, mahjong is a good thing is the greatest invention, can make a lot of idle people have something to do. ”

Not long after Tianqi chatted with everyone and played cards, Tan Jing came to report that Sun Chengzong of the Military Affairs Yuan asked him how long he was free, saying that the Military Affairs Yuan had a troop deployment to ask him for instructions, and Tianqi thought that since he couldn't make it clear in the song, he would definitely have to discuss it with many people, so he asked Tan Jing to tell Sun Chengzong that he would go tomorrow.
