Zhao Gou walked into this elegant mansion, Li Daqi introduced him in front, "This mansion was just completed a month ago, it was actually built for Yanqing, they have a mansion near the alum tower, but that mansion is a little smaller, less than ten acres, and it is just an ordinary mansion, which is a little inconsistent with his current identity, so I will build a mansion for him here, which is relatively quiet and low-key." ”

"Huh! It turned out that this was the Jin Palace, but I really didn't expect it. ”

Zhao Gou was a little disappointed in his heart, and he still wanted to buy this mansion for his father's retirement.

Li Daqi didn't see the disappointment in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and still introduced it to Zhao Gou with great interest, "The characteristics of this house are that the middle is the essence, and the two sections are auxiliary houses, like kitchens, livestock sheds, warehouses, subordinate rooms and guard rooms on both sides, and the middle forty acres is the master room, the front is the main hall, the meeting room, the living room, the dining hall, the outer study, etc., and the back is the garden and the inner house, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and corridors, everything is ......"

The more Zhao Gou looked at this house, the more he liked it, it was very elegant and comfortable, and he believed that his father must like it very much, so he glanced at Cao Yan.

Cao Yan understood, when Zhao Gou was drinking tea and resting in a small pavilion, Cao Yan called Li Daqi aside and said in a low voice: "Can Li Yuanwai build another mansion for Yanqing?" ”

Li Daqi was stunned, "Why is this?" ”

Cao Yan said the intention of today's Son of Heaven's micro-service patrol, and sighed again: "The official family is also the son of man, he is running around in order to make the suffering Emperor Taishang live more comfortably, this filial piety is commendable, and now the only thing the official family likes is this mansion, so that the emperor can live here for a long time, the official family is willing to pay a high price to buy this mansion, can the staff understand the painstaking work of the official family and cut love?" ”

Li Daqi is really a little embarrassed, he is not reluctant to give up a house, but this house is the best piece of land in his hands, of course he wants to leave it to his son, but now it is the official family to beg for himself, thinking of the filial piety of the official family, Li Daqi is also quite moved.

He pondered for a moment and said, "So be it! This mansion is Yanqing's mansion, just as he honors his father-in-law, and the emperor is also my in-laws, let my in-laws live here, I have nothing to say, I will find another place to build another mansion. ”

Cao Yan was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed to report to the official family, Zhao Gou smiled and said: "It's already embarrassing to occupy the house of King Jin, and I want to give it away for free, this is unacceptable, let Li Yuanwai estimate the price, I will add 20% to buy it, but I can't let Li Yuanwai suffer." ”

Cao Yan persuaded: "Your Majesty, after all, the Emperor Taishang and Li Yuanwai are in-laws, and it is not good to have a business relationship, and Li Yuanwai is right, this is Yanqing's mansion, and it is natural to honor his father-in-law." ”

Zhao Gou hesitated and said, "But I'm embarrassed like this!" ”

Cao Yan thought for a while and said: "It's better to be like this, Your Majesty will also give Li Yuanwai a royal spring, so that it is a courtesy exchange." ”

Zhao Gou felt that this method was also good, so he smiled and said, "Okay! I gave Li Yuanwai the Liufang Spring at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain, which was a little return gift for this house. ”

Among the twenty royal springs in Lin'an Mansion, Liufang Spring ranked fifth, which was originally reserved for the Emperor Taishang to enjoy, but the Emperor Taishang took a fancy to Rui Shiquan, which ranked first, and Zhao Gou gave it to Li Daqi.

After finishing the palace, Zhao Gou said goodbye and left, Li Daqi kept sending Zhao Gou to the dock, Li Daqi hesitated and asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, does Yanqing have any plans to return to Lin'an recently?" ”

Zhao Gou smiled slightly, "According to the usual practice, he should go to Beijing to report on his work, but there are too many things in the northwest, and he is on the front line, he needs to arrange everything properly before he can make the trip, so I don't limit the time, it is now October, and the harsh winter is coming, I estimate that he will not be able to make the trip until the beginning of spring next year." ”

Li Daqi saluted and said: "Xiaomin understands, this mansion can be handed over to the palace today, and the Emperor Taishang can come and live in it at any time." ”

Seeing that Cao Yan and several guards had already boarded the ship first, Zhao Gou took out a letter and handed it to Li Daqi, and instructed in a low voice: "Send someone to send this letter to Yanqing quickly." ”

Li Daqi was taken aback, and hurriedly accepted the letter, "Xiaomin will send someone to Jingzhao in the afternoon." ”

It's not that Zhao Gou doesn't believe Cao Yan, but in the list of old ministers that his father is going to meet, the old man of the Cao family is the first, and Zhao Gou is worried that the Cao family will be pulled over by his father.

..........

Guanzhong in October has entered late autumn, under the clouds and mist of October, the color of the land in Guanzhong has slowly faded, the peak of Taibai Mountain has been covered with the first snow, the plain has also been covered with a withered coat, the sky is a pile of dark gray clouds, low pressing the earth, the endless trees in the forest are bare, the old trees stand gloomily, let the brown moss cover the wrinkles on his body, the merciless autumn has stripped off their thick green coat, they have to stand there bald.

But in the city it was a different story, the joy of the autumn harvest had not yet faded from the people's faces, and the anticipation of the New Year had jumped into people's eyes, the housewives began to patrol the market for cheap New Year's goods, the men were working hard for a decent income at the end of the year, and the children began to count the days and look forward to the New Year, their new clothes, New Year's money, artillery battles, and the lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, etc., and the children of poor families could have a beautiful meal on that day.

For the major temples in Jingzhao City, the New Year is also the day when the incense money is credited, and almost all large families will restore their wishes before and after the New Year, so there are still two months before the New Year, and the major temples have begun to prepare their own pujas, which is the most effective means to attract pilgrims.

More than a dozen novices and dozens of soldiers stood at the door, constantly persuading the pilgrims who came to offer incense back, and a notice was posted at the door, "The Great Mercy and Grace Temple has distinguished guests coming to the door today, and the reception will be suspended for one day, and the mountain gate will be opened on time tomorrow, and the pilgrims will understand." ’

From time to time, there are female guards wearing red and white samurai uniforms in all corners of the Great Ci'en Temple, vigilantly patrolling the surrounding movements, today is the Jin princess with a few sisters specially to the Great Ci'en Temple to incense, the princess Cao Yun and the second concubine Zhao Fujin were pregnant three months ago, three months to recuperate at home, three months later can go out for a walk.

So Cao Yun and Zhao Fujin made an appointment, when they could go to the street, they would come to the temple together to pray for the child's blessing, and begged the Buddha to bless the child's safety and health.

Da Ci En Temple is Tang Gaozong Li Zhi when the prince remembered his mother eldest grandson queen and built, covers a vast area, magnificent, is one of the royal temples of the Tang Dynasty, the temple was destroyed in the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the current temple is rebuilt on the original site, no matter the scale or the monks are far from being compared with the Tang Dynasty, in Jingzhaocheng it is not the largest temple, Cao Yun chose the Great Ci'en Temple on incense, because the palace is very close to here, just across a small river.

Master Zhiguang, the abbot of the temple, accompanied the four ladies to the Daxiong Treasure Hall with more than a dozen elders, and Master Zhiguang smiled and said, "In addition to praying for blessings, the princess should also ask for a child!" ”

Any temple hopes that the pilgrims have prayed, there is a prayer to make a wish, there is a wish to restore, especially a big pilgrim like the princess, the abbot hopes that she can make more wishes in front of the Buddha, but the words can not be said so directly, asking for a son is the best excuse.

Daci'en Temple is also the temple of the palace, Cao Yun will donate five hundred catties of sesame oil every year, Cao Yun nodded, "The heirs of the prince of Jin are few, and I hope that the flesh and blood in the abdomen are two young men today, if we can realize the wish, we must be grateful when restoring." ”

"Amitabha, the princess is sincere, she will definitely move the Buddha, please incense!"

Cao Yun took Zhao Fujin into the main hall, and the teacher and Hu Qing'er also followed behind into the hall, the teacher wanted to pray for the blessing of the Buddha for the safety and health of his daughter, and Qing'er also hoped that she could get pregnant early, she had been canonized as the lady of Sanpin County last month, of course, in the reward book of the Ministry of War, she was promoted to the general of Zhengwupin Ningyuan in the name of Hu Sanniang, and was promoted to the commander of the female barracks in the Jingzhao Army.

These are Hu Qing'er's two identities, she doesn't want to give up her military position, but she is eager to give birth to a child for her husband, just when there is an armistice, she hopes that this period of peace can be pregnant early.

The four of them first saluted the incense in front of the incense table, and then the four of them knelt down in front of the Buddha, they kowtowed with their palms together, and silently made their wishes to the Buddha.

"Ask the Buddha to bless the flesh and bones of the woman's womb as a young man, and prosper the Li family."

"Ask the Buddha to bless you, bless the woman to give birth to Lin'er, ask the Buddha to bless the health of the father and the emperor, and bless the peace and well-being of the emperor's brother."

"I pray that the Buddha will bless the little girl Lian'er from illness and disaster, grow up happily, and bless the woman and her husband to grow old together and never give up."

"The three-foot Buddha on his head should know, if you make my husband brave and let me get pregnant early, I will repair a hundred monk's rooms and reshape your golden body!"
