But one person was not interested, and raised his voice to ask the thug led by him: "Big brother, didn't the kid surnamed Jia say that he would use treasures and jewelry to pay off his debts today, but he was so debt-indebted today, and you let him go like this?" ”

This kind of thing should naturally be whispered, even if the volume is raised a little, it is intentional to be heard by more people.

The thug led by slapped the back of the little brother's head, and scolded and scolded: "You know a hammer, this is a housework of the people's Xiangfu, don't ask, don't care!"

The surrounding spectators immediately understood where Jia Xing was framed and bullied!

It is clear that he wanted to steal things to pay off his gambling debts and was caught for a while, and now he sees that he can't bear the matter, and he even wants to push the gambling debts to Xiangfu to pay off, which is really a white-eyed wolf!

The surrounding spectators dispersed in the scolding of Jia Xing, and the small courtyard where the mother and son of the Jia family lived were thrown in by passers-by from time to time with one or two rotten fruit pits, rotten meat, sour vegetable leaves, and simply throwing some mud dumplings, but the old lady felt very distressed - this is all her own yard!

Jia Li's voice was hoarse, obviously not long after crying: "You just mess around, it's better to torture everyone to die with you, and you will be happy!" ”

When Jia Xing was upset, he said, "Don't bother me. ”

Seeing that the brother and sister were scolding each other, Xiang Yeqi didn't go to join in the fun, and let them scold, which really had nothing to do with him.

Four days later is the birthday of Xiang Ye's grandfather, and in previous years, the whole family of the Xiang family had to go to Xiangguo Temple to chant and mourn for him, and this year is the same.

Mrs. Xiang gave the Buddha strings and other things that she had cherished for several years to Xiang Yeqi, and patiently advised: "This year, you will take these little ones to go, they still respect you, and if you can't cause anything, let them do their own thing." The big ones can't control it, so I will keep them in the house with them, so that I won't cause trouble for you. ”

The small one refers to many juniors of Xiang Ye's generation, their generation is already small, and there are many people who are difficult to return from far marriage, in fact, there are not many who can be brought with them, mainly Xiang Yeqi and the eldest grandson Xiang Jingming, and most of the rest are foils, so I am afraid that I won't even be able to see anyone.

The big one is Yao Run'er's generation, although he doesn't dare to mention it explicitly, most of them are also thinking about the separation of the family, and it is indeed easy to have more accidents.

Xiang Yeqi also faintly heard that the old lady Xiang wanted to hide for a few days, and by the way, she invited some elders in the clan to the house to discuss the affairs of the mother and son of the Jia family.

"It's okay, but did the mother and son of the Jia family give you an answer?" Xiang Yeqi hadn't paid attention to the news of the Jia family's mother and son for two days, "But what's the problem?" ”

"You know that girl from the Jia family, even if she is asked to walk, kneel, or crawl, she can follow you to the temple with a smile. It's Naja Xing......"

Xiang Lao Madame frowned, "He said that he broke his leg when he fell into the river, and he couldn't go far, so he wanted to stay in the house to rest." ”

Can you break your leg by throwing yourself into the river?

Xiang Yeqi was suspicious of Jia Xing: "I'll go to the doctor to show him his legs, lest he have any other thoughts." ”

As soon as she was about to get up, she was stopped by the old lady Xiang and said, "No need, I have asked a few doctors to go to his place earlier, and it is true that he has injured his leg, but he really wants to do something, and he alone is afraid that he will not have that ability now!" ”

I don't know whether to say that Jia Xing is too unlucky, or whether good and evil are obvious.

Xiang Yeqi breathed a sigh of relief because of this, it had not been a short time since he had been separated from Bo Zhaoxu for a long time, and Xiang Yeqian was still a little nervous in his heart.

Early the next morning, Xiang Yeqi traveled with Xiang's family and went to Xiangguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing.

Xiangguo Temple incense is vigorous, the blue brick road that stretches from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is always full of people in the past, during the festival, there are more people who want to pray for blessings than the bluestone on the ground, it is also a suitable day for incense recently, but it is clear and few, and occasionally you can see one or two people who go down the mountain.

Yingyan remembered the past when she was squeezed out of shape when she asked for a signature, and said with heartfelt emotion: "Niangniang, there are really few people today, and even the mountain roads are a lot better." The last time my subordinates came, they really didn't even have a place to stay, and finally stepped on the mountain road on the side. ”

Today is still a little cool and refreshing, it is really a good day for Yingyan to enter the temple, but even half of the pilgrims who entered the temple have not seen it.

Xiang Yeyan smiled meaningfully: "Yingyan, you don't understand, this is the ability to make money." "Love books

"Money ......" Ying Yan frowned in confusion, "What is the money?" What does Niangniang mean by this, and why have her subordinates never heard of this word? ”

"Do you see the green bricks and stones under your feet?" Ask Nightshade.

The blue bricks and stones on the ground are of different sizes and sizes, chaotic and orderly, with the beauty of chaos.

Yingyan said: "I saw it." ”

"This was originally a rugged mountain road, and it was common for people to slip and bump their feet, and when it rained on a cloudy day, it was common for someone to roll down the mountain and have an accident. It wasn't until Mrs. Xiang funded the construction of a mountain road more than ten years ago, which made it a lot of convenience for the monks in the temple and the people who wanted to worship the temple. These stones look inconspicuous, but they are all transported back to Beijing from the Nanjiang area by the old lady, and they all waited for a year to be transported back to Beijing, and the money spent is innumerable. ”

Nan Chen put his hands around his chest, and patiently explained to Yingyan: "Xiangfu has begun to donate incense to Xiangguo Temple for a hundred years ago, and Xiang Lao Lady has donated Buddha statues, classics, and ink treasures to Xiangguo Temple from time to time. ”

A long time ago, he was also instructed by Bo Zhaoxu to investigate Xiang Yeqi's "bottom line", and he naturally knew more than Yingyan, from the well-known rumors of Xiangfu a hundred years ago, to the weaning of Xiang Yeqi, to the fact that Xiang Yeqi had burned a pot of Xiangfu before he got married.

He suddenly felt the gaze that fell on his face, and he couldn't help but give birth to a trace of surprise, as if he had done something wrong.

Nan Chen asked with some restraint: "Niangniang looks at her subordinates like this, but what did her subordinates say wrong?" Some things about Xiang Fu are not very clear to his subordinates. ”

"It's not." Xiang Yeqi shook his head, "Nan Chen, I'm afraid you don't know how rare it is to hear you say such a long word at once, it is even rarer than the fact that no one in Xiangguo Temple comes to worship the temple all day long." ”

Ying Yan was stunned at first, and then laughed: "What Niang Niang said is true!" When his subordinates talked to Nan Guard earlier, he mostly only said um, yes, yes, and he could hear him say more than ten words at a time, which meant that this matter was already very important and worthy of his repeated words. ”

But Nan Chen didn't realize it, and he didn't talk much? Shouldn't we be cautious in our words and deeds, and if our words can be concise, we can be regarded as fulfilling our duties?

Looking at Xiang Yeqi and Yingyan's warm smiles like spring breeze and willows, their cheeks turned red, and there seemed to be a slight feeling of warmth in their hearts.

It's quite a bit amazing in the morning light.

Nan Chen used the way of holding a sword and looking forward to the mountain road on the side to hide the panic in his heart, although it has nothing to do with Fengyue, but everywhere is the tenderness between close friends, rather than the politeness between master and servant.

He has always prided himself on abiding by his subordinates, but at this time he can't help but crave jokes among friends.

It turned out that it was not that I never cared, but that I had never experienced it, so I felt that I didn't care.

"In this way, my subordinates seem to have seen such a stone in the palace earlier." Ying Yan took a serious look at the lines of the stone bricks on the ground, and repeatedly confirmed that her judgment was correct, "Earlier, the first emperor gave Han Concubine Niangniang a bonsai, which is supplemented by this kind of stone, but I heard that this stone is difficult to find, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it back to Beijing. ”

Xiang Yeqi: "Not bad. At the beginning, my father was seriously ill, she once made a vow in Xiangguo Temple, if my father can be cured, she will donate incense and donate roads to Xiangguo Temple, and accumulate virtue and do good deeds for the rest of her life, and then my father recovered from illness, and she also spent a lot of money to repair this road as promised. ”

Ying Yan sighed with emotion: "This person, it's really unsightly, my subordinates always felt that Old Madam Xiang only had herself and Xiang Fu in her heart, and she was an extremely selfish character, but now that I think about it, Old Madam Xiang is selfish, no matter what the purpose is, it can be regarded as doing something beneficial to others." ”

However, Xiang Yeqi also thought so: "People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless." ”

At that time, Xiangguo Temple was still a small temple, only the people nearby would come to burn incense and worship the Buddha, when it was difficult to go up the mountain after winter, there were often monks who died because of lack of food. Although there are regular donations of incense money to the government, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the many silver consumptions.

What's more, it is difficult to go down the mountain, often there is money but nowhere to spend, and the precedent of falling off the cliff to buy vegetables is not unprecedented.

It was the old lady who resisted everyone who chose Xiangguo Temple, recommended Xiangguo Temple among the officials' families, and doubled the incense money donated every month, so that Xiangguo Temple was lively. Mrs. Xiang often invited craftsmen to build Buddha statues, house beams, and temple walls for Xiangguo Temple, which finally gave Xiangguo Temple the appearance of a big temple.

And every winter, the old lady will donate money and grain, so that the monks of Xiangguo Temple will send food to the nearby soup kitchen, and distribute the materials for the winter, such as cotton, firewood, charcoal and the like for sewing.

Over time, Xiangguo Temple has finally become a Beijing Chinese temple with its vigorous incense, and there are often people who come from thousands of miles to visit from other places. How can these be separated from the credit of the old lady Xiang, so how can it be called difficult to close the temple for a day for Xiangfu?

Xiang Lao Lady is indeed for the fame of Xiang Fu, and the convenience of visiting the temple in Xiangguo Temple, she has a purpose, the original intention is definitely not good, and even a sentence of "utilitarianism" is too strong to evaluate, but this is not enough to deny Xiang Lao Madame's good deeds.
