The jade statue of Mazu brought by Jin Yingji is enshrined in the Zhenshui Guanyin Nunnery in Jishuitan.

The pond in the Desheng Gate of Beijing is the starting point of the north end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Grand Canal of three thousand miles of blue waves starts here, the boat can sail straight down to Hangzhou, Ningbo, so the Yongle period builds the Fahua Temple, also known as the Zhenshui Guanyin Nunnery in the pond.

During the Wanli period, because of the siltation of the Tonghui River, the Cao boat only went to the east gate of the Beijing Division, the pond lost its shipping function, but it is still the nominal starting point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the incense of the Zhenshui Guanyin Nunnery is still vigorous, all the people living in the southeast coast of the Beijing Division, as well as the Cao Gang who begged for life on the canal, all take this place as the sustenance of faith, and the bell and drum tower of the Beijing Division is next to the Jishui Pond, every day is very lively, small merchants and hawkers, tea guests and wine customers, big girls and little daughters-in-law come and go, the Zhenshui Guanyin Nunnery is more fragrant and prosperous.

Put the jade carving Mazu statue into the Guanyin Nunnery, it is really appropriate, and rebuild a large hall in the nunnery to worship this beautiful statue, and thousands of pilgrims come to worship every day, enough to step on the threshold three inches lower.

Recently, the old nun Huineng, the abbot of Guanyin Nunnery, has to wake up with a smile even if she is dreaming, and the incense she receives in each day is two or three times more than in the past!

But today, the door of Guanyin Nunnery is closed, no matter how the pilgrims knock on the door, at most open a crack in the door, revealing the bare head of the little nun, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, the nunnery is doing Buddhist things, the donor please come back another day." ”

Guanyin Nunnery has recently received incense every day for worship, I am afraid that it will not be less than fifty taels of silver, who made the old nun Huineng give up this income and shut the pilgrims out?

Ordinary pilgrims ate the closed door and had to leave in a huff, and the rich and noble people came out of a quarrel.

At this time, several plainclothes men walked over, their steps were light and neat, and they were full of fierce energy, smiling sadly, lifting the hem of the shirt a little, revealing the talisman hanging from their waists.

North Town Fuji!

It was going to be noisy, but it wasn't noisy, and if it was going to be noisy, it didn't make trouble, and he stepped back with a smile on his face, and only after walking far did he raise his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his head, and his heart was still pounding after half a day.

The grass and trees in the Guanyin Nunnery are verdant, and there are no pilgrims who flow endlessly, making it more and more quiet and elegant.

The abbot Huineng old nun accompanied the two distinguished guests, and the wrinkles on her face rose and fell like waves with a smile: "Amitabha, the statue of the Heavenly Concubine invited by the golden donor from thousands of miles is enshrined in the small nunnery, and I really found the right place!" Pilgrims from all over the world say that the statue is carved gorgeously and squarely, worthy of being the heavenly concubine, in fact, in the eyes of the poor nun, the Jin donor himself is more beautiful than the icon, haha, and General Qin is really a pair of beautiful people. ”

"Really? Hehe," Jin Yingji covered her mouth and chuckled, her charming eyes looked at Qin Lin, if other women were afraid that they would have already blushed their ears, this smoky Wufeng ship owner would never be shy.

No wonder it is said that these nuns in Jingshi are accustomed to passing through the house, and one mouth can race over the pimped Ma Boliu, no, three or two sentences will trap Qin Lin.

Fortunately, our Chief Qin's face is the same as the martial arts of the White Lotus Sect Master, known as invincible in the world, and when he heard the words, he just smiled, and said the others: "Master Huineng, your Guanyin Nunnery has pushed away many pilgrims, and you want to have a lot less incense money?" Why bother, we're just strolling around, so don't embarrass you. ”

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed," Hui Neng's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, but when he saw Qin Lin staring at him with a smile, his heart suddenly jumped, and he suddenly understood: Since you say that people are a pair of beautiful people, what are you still making noise here? It's not that you're embarrassed, it's that Chief Qin and Master Jin are uncomfortable!

These nuns in Jingshi are all very good at observing words and feelings, Huineng hurriedly found an excuse to slip away, and slapped himself lightly after walking far away: If you don't cultivate, why are you short of sight today?

Seeing that Qin Lin blasted Huineng away, Jin Yingji pretended to be surprised, gently pinched Qin Lin, and laughed as she ate: "Little wrongdoer, are you ......?"

This is the spring of March, Jin Yingji is wearing a black satin dress, embroidered with a large blooming peony flower on her shoulders, lined with a bewitching and affectionate face, the brocade belt kills the water snake waist thinly, almost a hand, swaying like the wind swinging willows when strolling lightly.

Qin Lin's heart fluttered, and he deliberately stretched out his hand to put his hand around the beauty's soft waist, but said with a straight face: "Chief Jin said that he laughed, is this official that kind of person?" Besides, this is a nunnery. ”

Being caressed up and down by Qin Lin on his waist, Jin Yingji's soft eyes were a little more flattering, and her voice was as sweet as honey: "What stupid thing do you say?" You don't know, those young and beautiful little nuns in this nunnery......"

Coquettishly glancing at Qin Lin, Jin Yingji bit her lip lightly, but said no more.

How did Qin Lin not know? When I entered the nunnery just now, I saw several little nuns in their seventeen, eighteen, and early twenties, all of whom were born with red lips and white teeth, and there was no solemn look on their faces, but they were smiling at people.

However, this guy still pretended to be surprised on his face: "Could it be, ah, I really didn't expect this to happen, it's really insulting to my Buddha." ”

Jin Yingji glanced at him: "What insults my Buddha?" You men, duplicitous and pretending to be a decent gentleman, actually want to bully girls......"

"How did you bully you?" Qin Lin was in the middle of it, the thief smiled evilly, and the strange hand touched Chief Jin's body: "Is it bullying like this, or is it bullying like this?" ”

Seeing that Qin Lin was becoming more and more disagreeable, Jin Yingji hurriedly pushed Qin Lin away, her face was red, and she bit her red lip lightly: "Little wrongdoer, Yonu came out to talk about business, and when they met, they moved their hands and feet, which is really bad!" ”

Qin Lin hehehe, he was straight, and said in his heart that I was a Taigong fishing wisher who took the bait.

However, when he mentioned some things in this nunnery just now, Qin Lin lost his interest, since he regarded Jin Yingji as his own woman, he was unwilling to really do something in this unclean place.

"So, how are things going these days?" Qin Lin looked at Jin Yingji with a smile, "I believe that the dignified Five Peaks Ship Owner, there should be no problem in doing these things." ”

"Of course," Jin Sakurahime confidently straightened her chest, her neck slender and her body graceful, like a beautiful peacock.

Uh, it looks like the boobs are a little bigger? Qin Lin looked at it, I believe it is due to my breast enhancement formula.

Jin Sakurahime couldn't help but glance at him, this guy is too much, too hateful!

Came to Beijing with great fanfare, with the tribute envoys of the southeast countries as a foil, Wufeng maritime merchants performed a good show, appropriately showing their strength.

Thinking back to 20 years ago, Wang Zhi on the southeast coast and Altan Khan in Mobei were both major troubles of the Ming Dynasty, of which there was a relatively solid nine-border defense line in the north, and the area affected by Wang Zhi was in the southeast wealth, and the Ming court should pay more attention to it.

Now Altan Khan has been canonized as the king of Shunyi, but the owner of the Wufeng ship, Jin Yingji, is just a small six-rank chief lawsuit, which is really unequal.

When negotiating with Zhang Juzheng at the beginning, out of practical considerations, in order to avoid controversy, and to achieve the goal of recruiting maritime merchants in Zhao'an, opening the port, and canceling the maritime ban as soon as possible, only Jin Yingji was named a six-grade toast, so as not to make a big splash and involve Wang Bengu and Geng Xiang, who were officials who opposed Zhao'an and Wang Zhi back then, so as to delay it.

But the current situation has already changed, Wang Bengu was slaughtered by Qin Lin himself, the Geng family brothers of the Qingliu celebrity have become the lackeys of Qin Lin's men, and the Sea Shark Society, which represents the coastal elite smuggling group, has also been wiped out, and the resistance to sealing the golden cherry blossom has largely disappeared.

What's more, last year's tax silver in Hangzhou City's winter solution had arrived in Beijing three months ago, and Huang Zhixiao, the eunuch of the Imperial City, was very powerful, and he suddenly released 370,000 tax silver, which is equivalent to one-sixth of the annual surplus of the Ming treasury!

Most of this tax was paid by Wufeng maritime merchants in accordance with the law!

In addition, in the past, when the sea ban was implemented on paper, in fact, when the powerful smuggling groups controlled the coastal trade, not a single cent of tax revenue could enter the state treasury every year!

Compared with the two, the important surnames of Wufeng maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more valuable.

Jin Yingji didn't come, since she gave Qin Lin a surprise, Qin Lin also supported her to fight for a higher canonization position, and even the Geng family brothers, Zhang Gongyu, and Yu Zhigao had to be used one by one, wouldn't it be more reassuring to support her own women?

Wufeng maritime merchants have no followers in Beijing, but the Cao Gang has some connections, but the level is not high, or Qin Lin is behind the scenes, secretly contributing to Jin Yingji, and introducing Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the Ministry of Rites, Zeng Shengwu, the secretary of the military department, and Zhu Yingzhen, the prince of Chengguo, who can speak in the court.

So these days, the momentum of Chief Jin has risen, and it has been rumored in the Jingshi market that Chief Jin of Yingzhou has pressed the 36 islands in the East China Sea, and overseas countries have given up, and the imperial court will be sealed in the near future.

Qin Lin and her made an appointment to meet at Zhenshui Guanyin Nunnery, which was to discuss this important matter.

"Mr. Zhang also supports you to go to the next level, and you can even officially disclose the identity of the Wufeng maritime merchants, with the merit of completing my answer to the tribute, plus the appeasement of the Wufeng maritime merchants, the two strong enemies of the south and the north have been appeased by him, I think it will not be a problem for his old man to get a Taishi on his head," Qin Lin analyzed Zhang Juzheng's attitude, and suddenly looked at Jin Yingji with a smile: "It's just that the old gentleman is very unhappy that you are uninvited!" ”

That's not it, Zhang Zixuan hasn't married yet, and a golden cherry girl has appeared, and she suddenly ran to Beijing without saying hello, can Zhang Juzheng not be angry?

"It's not like you're merciful to provoke you?" Jin Yingji said sourly, and glanced at Qin Lin obliquely.

Suddenly came to Beijing without notice, it was the owner of the Wufeng ship on purpose, intending to tell Zhang Xiangye that although there is a difference in strength, the two sides are equal and mutually beneficial cooperative relations, and there is no need to ask for permission in advance.

What's more, the contact with the Prime Minister has always been through Zhang Zixuan...... "You, you!" Qin Lin smiled and scratched Jin Yingji's nose.

Suddenly, a little nun in the distance called softly: "Two donors, the abbot of my family has personally ordered dates and tea, please taste them." ”
