The Feng family just wanted to buy a mirror as a dowry, and Xu Qilin nodded happily in agreement.

In the face of the sales of the powerful ministers in the capital, it cannot last, and it is estimated that in another month or two, it will be basically saturated. In the past two months, Xu Qilin regarded it as a starvation sales period, and the vanity mirror did not leak out.

Merchants who want to buy mirrors and make a lot of money are waiting for a red eye, even if it is a public auction, there is still a chance, and now they can only wait with long eyes.

But this is just the surface, Xu Qilin is so ghostly, the price is clearly marked to take care of the princes and ministers, and he feels a loss to sell it like this. Therefore, the mirror was smuggled to Yangzhou and Guangzhou, and then sold in the name of a certain merchant.

As expected, several mirrors sold at public auction have been hyped higher and higher, and in Yangzhou they have reached a staggering 8,000 guan, almost doubling.

This also made Dayingku earn tens of thousands of dollars more at once, and the funds were sufficient, Xu Qilin continued to draw money to build the mansion, and the main direction turned to the west, so as to prepare for trade in the Western Regions.

You must know that although Gaochang has not yet been won, the Silk Road is not completely isolated, and there are other branch lines to go. But in order for commerce and trade to prosper, it is necessary to establish order in the Western Regions, and it is necessary to garrison troops and control the Western Regions.

There are many small countries in the Western Regions, many armed countries, and different rules, which cause great inconvenience to the merchants who walk in the middle. There are also horse thieves and bandits, which is a threat to life.

Therefore, Xu Qilin raised his hands in favor of His Majesty Li Er's crusade against Gao Chang. Contribute money, efforts, and all-round support.

Seeing that Xu Qilin agreed happily, Feng Zhidai was very happy, this gave him face, and also showed his energy to Xu Jingzong's family.

Seeing that the time was not early, Xu Qilin did not tell lies, and bluntly said that he would go to the Jin Palace, for the banquet, for the King of Wei.

Feng Zhidai hurriedly got up and said goodbye, people have something to do, but it's not to chase customers, it's because he came unfortunately.

Xu Qilin sent Feng Zhidai away, cleaned up, and then took the two subordinates and went to the Jin Palace.

originally thought that the Jin Wang's mansion must be crowded with many guests, but when he arrived at the mansion gate, he found that there were few carriages and horses, which made Xu Qilin almost think that he had a bad memory.

The housekeeper was already waiting at the door to welcome the guests, and when he saw Xu Qilin, he hurriedly greeted him and invited him in.

"Is it early?" Xu Qilin asked with some confusion: "Why are there so few guests?" ”

"Xu Cheng doesn't know." The steward explained with a smiling face: "It was His Royal Highness the King of Wei who didn't want to make a big deal, so His Royal Highness the King of Jin only invited some relatives. ”

Relatives? I seem to be able to get a little bit of it.

Xu Qilin nodded, and said in his heart: Li Sipang is really enlightened, it's right to keep a low profile in Beijing, and it's useless to win over those messy people.

When I came to the front of the hall, I heard the laughter inside, and it sounded very familiar. The steward announced loudly, and the eldest grandson Chong greeted him with a smile.

"Why did Qi Lin come?" The eldest grandson rushed forward and pulled Xu Qilin up and walked inside, "I just heard that you jumped into the ice water in the palace yesterday to save people, and I was very worried about my brother, it should be fine, right?" ”

Xu Qilin said with a smile: "Brother Eldest Sun is kind, and he has a certain heart." If you look at someone who is refreshed, you know it's okay. ”

went up the steps and was about to go inside, when a small figure jumped out and grabbed Xu Qilin to look up and down.

It turned out to be his son-in-law, and Xu Qilin knew why the news reached the ears of the eldest grandson, and it turned out to be a secret leaked by Xiao Gongju.

"It's all right, can you drink the medicine?" The son asked with a concerned expression.

Xu Qilin was amused by the appearance of this little adult, and patted his chest hard, "What's wrong, this body is great!" ”

The son giggled and pulled Xu Qilin inside. Eldest Sun Chong glanced at Xu Qilin with a smile, knowing that he had a good relationship with his son, but he didn't know that he was so close.

Entering the hall, Xu Qilin greeted them one by one. is really a relative, except for Li Sipang's brothers and sisters, only Xu Qilin is far away.

Because they are relatives, men and women can only drink and feast through the screen, but they can move around freely.

After a round of salutes, Xu Qilin sat down in his seat. Except for Du He, who he hates the most, and Chai Lingwu, who is generally hated, everyone else is okay.

However, Du He seemed to have learned to be obedient, and he returned the salute without smiling, and he didn't dare to find fault.

But the crown prince Li Chengqian did not come, which made Xu Qilin's evaluation of him even lower. The mud can't hold up the wall, but it's still self-righteous.

"My father has just issued an edict to the inner government, but whenever the princess goes out and the prince marries, the dresser and mirror are used as dowries and dowries, and since then it has been an example." Li Zhi, the king of Jin, looked at Xu Qilin and said with a smile: "I heard, this is played by Qi Lin?" ”

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said: "I just asked Princess Changle to surrender, and His Majesty's decree is a common practice, but it cherishes family affection and loves princesses and princes." ”

Li Sipang blinked his eyes and asked Li Zhi, "But Aunt Changle is going to surrender?" ”

Li Zhi, the king of Jin, said: "It should be next month, and Zhao Gui, the general of Zuo Qianniu, will surrender." ”

"When a certain person prepares a congratulatory gift, he will be sent tomorrow." Li Sipang said: "I will leave Beijing in the next few days, and I really can't wait for next month." ”

Li Zhi was a little surprised, saying that she was an aunt, and she was also ranked by generation, not only did she not kiss, but she hadn't even seen her face a few times. But when Li Sipang said this, he had no choice but to nod yes.

Chai Lingwu blinked his eyes and wanted to get two mirrors. But the will says that he will get married, and he has been a princess for two years, but he is not among them.

Xu Qilin doesn't care about others, Princess Changle found Sister A, and he helped with this, which is already nosy.

If he wants to come, don't wait until he gets married, has the status of a princess or a prince, and then rewards a mirror, so that he can look like a father or an elder brother.

As for making money, compared to family affection, it's a fart!

The topic was no longer talked about, but rather small talk.

Although Xu Qilin helped Li Tai, he kept his distance in normal times and rarely even met. Li Sipang also knows this, but thinks that this is Xu Qilin's sincere performance.

And when he returned to Luozhou, in addition to continuing to compile the "Chronicles of the Kuodi", he also had to work hard according to the plan formulated by Xu Qilin for him, so that His Majesty Li Er could see his political ability.

There was not much time, the maid came up at a low price, arranged the wine and food, and the banquet officially began.

Drinking and eating, chatting and laughing, of course, singing and dancing music are indispensable. A prince like Li Zhi had a kabuki musician sent by his own school to play music and perform in the hall.

The screen separates the two sides, but you can see the singing and dancing performances, and the laughter on both sides can be heard clearly.

"Taoism is the state religion, and this is the national policy." Li Zhi smiled faintly and said, "Shamen may be unconvinced, but he can't change it. ”

Li Sipang said: "I don't have a good impression of Shamen, if the monk dares to make trouble, he will deal with it according to the previous third-order sect." It is not impossible to benefit the country and benefit the people. ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "There are also many high-ranking monks in Shamen, so it's not easy to blindly suppress them, right?" ”

Li Sipang smiled, not wanting to argue with Xiao Jiu about this matter, so he turned to something else.

"Since the end of the White Snake performance, the old monk Fahai has become hated by all people." The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said to Xu Qilin: "I heard that a monk went to Qi Lin to theorize? ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I let them drive them away." I can't finish my business, who has time to listen to their idle guys in that Ami Tofu. ”

"Qi Lin is tough and simple." The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "Doesn't the monk know that you are a disciple of Lu Yu Immortal, and it is boring to run to ask for yourself." ”

Xu Qilin said: "The family teacher does not like the monk, not because of the Shamen, but because he is angry that the monk has taken the wrong path, and what he says and does is contrary to the original intention of the Buddha. ”

This was said a bit profoundly, and everyone was a little stunned, and only after pondering carefully could they understand the meaning of the words.

"Qi Lin, please elaborate." Li Zhi looked at Xu Qilin with a smile.

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said: "The family teacher said to a certain person: The influence of Shamen on the world is not in how many magnificent temples are built, not in the addition of more lay monks, but in teaching people to be sincere and quiet. ”

After a pause, giving everyone some time to think and digest, Xu Qilin continued: "The wealth of the country requires the people to pay taxes and food; To be strong, what is needed is an elite army. The two have no relationship with monks, but monks who do not plow, weave and join the army have become obstacles. ”

Li Si expressed his approval and said: "It is true that as Qi Lin said, Shamen has not contributed to the strength of the country in the slightest. There is one more monk in Shamen, one less in the country, and honesty is not empty. ”

"Your Highness's words are subtle."

Xu Qilin praised it, and then said: "The food in our mouths and the clothes on our bodies are all provided by the people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the people's fat and people's ointment." The so-called take from the people, use it for the people. If there is a surplus of wealth, when the poor and sick, the orphans and widows are cared for, but it will not be used to build a big Buddha in Shamen Jianhong Temple. ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth, but finally did not say anything against it.

You say, 'To defend Shaman's name is to show no mercy to the people.' Eating the people's, drinking the people's, wearing the people's, you don't know how to be grateful, but towards the sand gate?

Xu Qilin knew that this guy spent the money of the imperial court to build the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and I heard that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was also built by him. With so much money, where is it not good to spend it?

Besides, with the establishment of the state religion, Shamen really did something, but it was only a few so-called monks who were talking nonsense.

Xu Qilin also wanted to take the opportunity to bury an introduction, anyway, this word would definitely reach the ears of His Majesty Li Er. At that time, maybe His Majesty Li Er will expand the attack area and give Shamen another blow.

Du He also swallowed back the words in his mouth, and after a few losses, he was already afraid of Xu Qilin's sharp teeth.

What's more, these words are right, and they also moved out of the country to strengthen the country and make it rich. If he talks nonsense, if His Majesty Li Er learns about it, what should be his impression of him?

For Xu Qilin's praise, Li Sipang suddenly skinned down and said with a smile: "Bald heads everywhere, who is a real monk?" Qi Lin's words are refined. ”

Laughter rang out, and the words did spread widely, making Shamen angry and helpless. They do not yet have the energy to stop the spread of public opinion, let alone suppress it.

The ban on the third-order sect also sounded the alarm bell for the Shamen, although the third-order sect was not liked by most sects of Buddhism.

The woman's laughter also sounded behind the screen, and it seemed that the sentence "bald heads everywhere, who is the real monk" also amused the princesses.

Hehe, Xu Qilin laughed twice, but he didn't expect Li Sipang to be quite humorous.

But as soon as the laughter ended, a strange sound came from behind the screen.

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

"Looks like choking."

"Quick, quick, help her."

"Find a doctor, find a doctor in the house."

The voices became more and more urgent, showing the anxiety and panic of the princesses, and the people here also heard it, and they changed color one after another, and rushed to investigate.

Xu Qilin heard that something was wrong with his son, so he moved the fastest, and ran around the screen in a few steps.

Several princesses surrounded their sons, screaming and screaming, their faces anxious, but they were at a loss.

The son's mouth was open, his face was purple, he reached out to cover his throat, his eyes widened, his body trembled, and he looked very painful.

"Call the doctor at home." Li Sipang shouted loudly.

Li Zhi was a little frightened, woke up by the yelling, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates, almost shouting orders.

The crowd was in a hurry, screaming and shouting. Li Lizhi patted her son's back and tried to put her hand in her mouth, but to no avail.

"Everybody get out of the way." Xu Qilin shouted and pulled everyone away, no matter what the identity of the princess was, "A certain person will have first aid skills, let a certain come." ”

Shouting here, crowding there, and finally came to the son's side. Tears flowed from his big eyes, and he looked at his uncle and made a faint uh-uh sound.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please let go." Xu Qilin squeezed Li Lizhi away as he spoke, and his movements were not too rough.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, Xu Qilin stood behind his son-in-law and stretched out his arms to hug her waist. Then make a fist with one hand, the fist is facing the upper abdomen, grab the clenched fist with the other hand, and slam it hard.

The son's upper body leaned forward, Xu Qilin slowed down, and squeezed his abdomen harder again.

Uh-the son spat out a small piece, and then the rapid breathing, Xu Qilin could feel the sharp rise and fall of her abdomen.

"It should be fine." Xu Qilin let go of his hand and turned around to investigate.

The son's breathing was smooth, his swollen purple face slowly changed, and his eyes were rounded, and he was a little more angry. Seeing the sister beside her, her mouth was flattened, and she actually rushed over and cried.

Li Lizhi was so frightened that her heart was pounding, but she had to hold on, patted her little sister on the back, and comforted her gently: "It's okay, it's okay." My son doesn't cry. ”

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Zhi's pale face slowly eased.

This little sister is his closest and most beloved by his father, if something happens here, he will have to feel guilty for the rest of his life, how can he explain it to his father?

Li Sipang swallowed hard and looked at Xu Qilin gratefully. This little sister is going to have an accident, and if she can't say it, it's caused by the joke he said.

You can't tell jokes in the future, this special thing will kill you!

Xu Qilin looked at what his son spit out, it was half a meatball, and he couldn't help grinning. I don't say anything, I don't say anything, the ancients don't deceive me!
