Twenty-seven, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other

The birth of the fourth prince, Chen Hui, is the biggest and most lively event in the Chen Palace in April.

The Taishi Bureau has issued auspicious messages for three days in a row, and in this kind of icing on the cake, the Taishi Bureau has always known how to put gold on itself. Empress Xu has never been to Yuxiang Palace since she took care of the birth of the fourth prince on that day, after all, she does not want to keep facing a low-ranking palace concubine who has a grudge against her.

Although Zhang Meiren is in confinement, she takes very close care of the four princes, except for the nurse who takes the four princes to rest, the rest of the time must be hugged to her side and can be seen.

What's more coincidental is that in the past few days, there are more strange stories on the Luodu City, saying that the Guanyin Temple not far from the Luodu City, when building the nuns behind the nuns' nunnery, there is a strange stone, the stone has dark red scar lines, from a distance, it looks like Guanyin Master. This strange stone was sent all the way into the national temple in the city of Luodu, the abbot looked at it carefully, folded his hands and sighed: "Buddhism is immeasurable, the light is great, the country is peaceful, the prosperity is clear, that is, Guanyin can purify all sentient beings, ensure the blessing and wisdom, and be auspicious at six o'clock." ”

In this way, the abbots and abbots in the national temple even offered an everlasting lamp to the four princes to pray for blessings.

Unexpectedly, the four princes, who were so clothed in good fortune and blessed by the world, suddenly began to spit up milk frequently only a little more than ten days after they were born.

It is not surprising that babies have shallow stomachs and sometimes spit up milk, and most of them can get better by reducing milk intake or holding them upright by their nursing mothers for a longer period of time. But the fourth prince's spitting up milk this time is getting worse day after day, so that almost all the milk he eats is spit out, and he will be choked from time to time, coughing for a long time, because he can hardly eat much milk, this originally fat little face can be seen to begin to lose weight.

Zhang Meiren cried anxiously, the imperial doctor who specializes in treating pediatric diseases, almost lives in Yuxiang Palace every day, because the four princes are very small, and they dare not use medicine, so they have to massage and recuperate, and someone has cleaned up and replaced the items used by the four princes one by one, although the symptoms of spitting up milk have improved slightly, but they still exist.

Later, even Emperor Chen was a little anxious, and he went to Yuxiang Palace much more frequently than some time ago, and even the concubines who had given birth to Wei Guifei and Concubine Liu Xian also went to visit from time to time. If this is the case, the four princes are still suffering like this.

After tossing like this for nearly a week, it was not until the masters in the national temple were invited to chant for the four princes that the spitting up was only cured for two days, and the originally sallow little face had a hint of ruddy. Seeing that the chanting was fruitful, Queen Xu herself ate fasting and copied the scriptures in Zhengde Palace, and Wei Guifei, Liu Xianfei, Tang Xiurong and others also followed suit, so as to accumulate virtue for the four princes.

Throughout April, Chen Gong spent his entire month in such an atmosphere.

Pei Zhenwan was in Cheng Zhilan's bedroom, quietly sipping tea, her eyes drifting away, as if she was thinking about something.

Cheng Zhilan sat opposite, wanting to speak and stopping, but finally couldn't help asking: "Ah Wan, the affairs of Guanyin Temple are well arranged, how did you manage to let the abbots of the National Temple speak for you?" ”

"With money." Pei Zhenwan said quietly.

"With money? That's the abbot of the national temple, how can Buddhism jump out of the red dust, how can it be easy to be greedy for money? What's more, the expenditure of the national temple is issued by the imperial court, how can it be easily moved by the silver? Cheng Zhilan was very surprised, in her cognition, maybe Pei Zhenwan wanted to tell a tortuous persuasion experience, but she never expected such a simple and worldly answer.

Pei Zhenwan put down the tea bowl and looked quiet: "If money is not coveted, it can only be said that it is not enough." What's more, after receiving the silver, the abbots only need to say some good and obedient words such as the good fortune of the four princes and the Buddha's fate, why not. ”

"Awan, how much money did you promise?"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, within three years, Bangguo Temple will build twenty monasteries in Chenjing, Nanshu, twenty."

Cheng Zhilan couldn't help but open her mouth, her face full of shock. Those dignitaries and nobles went to the National Temple to donate incense money, and no matter how generous they were, it was only a thousand taels of silver. She is a female official of the six Shang Dynasty in Chen Palace, and the annual use of Chen Palace is only about 500,000 silver, which is the number given to the National Temple, which is one-tenth of the number at hand.

"Awan, how did you come up with such a large sum of money?" Since the city of Fengzhou was broken, the Yang family's Gao family was destroyed, Pei Zhenwan, no, Yang Jingshu, can be called an orphan girl, in just five years, how can she give such a large sum of money.

Pei Zhenwan suddenly floated a playful and cold smile: "I will take the rest of the family's property and exchange it with myself to someone else." ”

Cheng Zhilan couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief, she came from the people, and naturally knew that even the rich could not do it if she earned so much silver with her hands. What's more, just for the matter of adopting the prince for Concubine Wei in front of him, he gave out 50,000 taels of silver, so how many taels of silver did Pei Zhenwan have in her hands. Thinking like this, Cheng Zhilan couldn't help but look at the junior sister who was sitting opposite, with a light breeze, if the money was publicly displayed, she could be regarded as a wealthy family worthy of Chen Guo's reputation.

Pei Zhenwan looked at the expression that flashed quickly on her face, snorted slightly, and said with an uncaring look: "In Nanshu, everything I do, everything I help people solve, is used to exchange money. The Yang family has some savings, so I will use those industries to exchange them with the gangs in the rivers and lakes, and with the magnates of the Shu Kingdom. As long as I can get the news that they can't get, or they have a rival who wants to solve it but can't solve it, I can use my news, my strategy, and my conscience to exchange it. ”

Pei Zhenwan paused, cold, self-deprecating, and disgusted: "In the Jade Pavilion, I lingered with those high-ranking officials, and the most expensive signboard leader in the Jade Pavilion, those powerful people spent a lot of money just to watch me dance, what is it if I make these silver industries." ”

Cheng Zhilan looked at her a little blankly, such a sad and sad emotion, she felt it thoroughly, and the distress in her heart was stirred in her chest for a long time and could not be calmed down, and after a while, she muttered: "Even if it is so hard, it is a pity to spend so much silver for Wei Guifei." ”

"But it's not much, I'm acting in the Chen Palace, and there aren't many places where I can use silver, this time for Bo Weiman's approval, just spend some silver. The bureau to be done in the future is basically in the Chen Palace, with myself, as well as Agar and Banxia, but it's okay. Besides, if I spend a little more money, I will feel more at ease, and the forty newly built temples will all offer incense to the four princes, and with the Buddha blessing him, he may be able to withstand these sins I have done......"

"Awan, I don't allow you to talk about yourself like that!" Cheng Zhilan couldn't help interrupting, "You, it's so difficult, the world has been unfair to you, why should you ......?"

"Senior sister, the suffering of the four princes in the past few days was originally arranged by me," Pei Zhenwan's face turned pale, "Even if Banxia Tong is medical, it will not hurt the four princes at all, even if it is caused by the diet of the nursing mother, but in the end, I have started on this baby who has only been born for more than ten days and is still in swaddling clothes, I am the devil in the fourth prince, heh, it turns out that my heart can be so ruthless." ”

Cheng Zhilan's eyes flashed, and she couldn't bear to say at all: "Ah Wan, if you have to do so many things against your will in order to take revenge, have you ever thought about it, just let it go?" ”
