Chapter 58: The end of Penglai Jade Branch
It was rare to welcome guests in the bamboo forest, and the carriage slowly drove under the protection of the knights. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From the car came a young nobleman, with a box of things, to visit the beautiful woman who lived here.
Taketori respectfully welcomed the people into the small courtyard, and Kaguya was waiting.
Kaguya, who has just brushed her hair, doesn't dress up much, but simply draped her hair behind her, and even Kaguya, who is without makeup, has a special charm and can see that visitors are obsessed for a while.
"Your Royal Highness, did you find the Penglai jade branch this time?"
It's been a few months.,Actually, Kaguya is also interested.,The original interest is almost gone at this time.,I just want to get rid of it as soon as possible.。
So, she seemed a little impatient.
"It is impossible for Penglai Yuzhi to appear in the world, this person must have faked it from somewhere, and I don't know if the Onmyoji found out about it."
I was thinking in my heart, just a faint smile on my face, but it was just a perfunctory chat, and Kaguya's smile made the prince of the car holding dizzy for a while.
It's just that the prince of the car who was overwhelmed by Kaguya's beauty has almost lost his mind, and hearing Kaguya's words is like listening to Senraku, where can he react.
"His Royal Highness, Your Highness?"
The prince who woke up like a dream opened the exquisite small gift box he carried with him and put it on the case. The inside and outside of the box are covered with satin, silky, soft, precious and exquisite.
Lying in the box, is a small branch, it seems to be a small section cut from the treetops, silver root gold dried white jade fruit, the leaves are jade, this small branch, but three or four inches long, the branches are white jade, the leaves are green, the small fruit hangs down, and it is also carved from white jade.
The prince of the car saw Kaguya holding this jade branch in the palm of his hand and playing with it, watching it repeatedly, but he didn't say a word.
"How? This is the branch I searched for by boat following the charts and the legends of my predecessors, and finally found the fairy island and the branches I sought. ”
Kaguya just snorted, bowing her head and fiddling, but didn't pay much attention to him.
The prince still didn't understand what she meant, what kind of reply was this.
Immediately afterward, I saw a commotion outside.
Immediately after, Taketori Weng came in, and his face was a little unpleasant.
"Your Highness, I'm looking for you from outside."
The prince of the car didn't know why, but politely apologized and went out to meet the visitor.
The whole time, Kaguya didn't look up at him again.
Outside, there were more than a dozen craftsmen, led by three officials and leaders, holding sticks tied to petition notes, beating gongs and drums all the way, and there were quite a few onlookers along the main road.
As soon as the prince saw them, his face immediately became gloomy, and it was so dark that it was almost raining.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, it took 100 days to build jade branches, and no less than 100,000 yuan was invested before and after, and a total of 300,000 yuan was paid for manual entertainment, please pay the remuneration in time."
One of the leading craftsmen stepped forward and said loudly, and it was by taking this opportunity that the prince could pay off his debts under the witness of his sweetheart and many onlookers and nobles. Moreover, this is just an ordinary prince, after today, his reputation for fraud will be widely spread, and I don't know what the end will be!
Thinking of the faint hint of the big man when he came, so he was not afraid, and these craftsmen were agitated and shouted loudly again.
"Please pay the bill in full, Your Highness!"
The prince of the car couldn't say a word, and pushed away the crowd with a blushing face.
"Who commanded you?"
Although he asked, he said in an affirmative tone, and in an instant he thought of several possible candidates, including several of his siblings.
"It's not going to end well!"
"You have to stay out of the way for a while, and wait until the storm is over."
As a prince, there are naturally some cities under the influence of his ears and eyes, and he will not be unable to see the situation clearly at this time when he grew up in the court. This matter has put him in a disadvantageous situation, and he cannot be cautious.
With a slight look, his coachman and guards all understood, took out the money bag, and gave it directly to them, and then the group left in a hurry in the carriage.
"A few pariahs, see if you have the life to keep this money!"
The prince is not a fool, he has a lot of thoughts in his heart.
"Your Highness can't do it easily, but naturally there are people who can do it! If you want money, you have to have this life to spend! ”
This trick is to borrow a knife to kill people, and if you want to get such a sum of money, it is obtained by a few craftsmen with very low ranks, and what is the difference between it and a child holding gold to go through the city?
As soon as the money bag appeared, it was noticed by many people, and a few sneaky people slipped away quietly. Among the onlookers, there are also many wandering samurai, such a sum of money, at this time, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money, and it is worth many people to take a risk.
As for Kaguya, when this embarrassing thing didn't happen, the prince of Che Zhi made a bad move this time and lost face, so naturally he wouldn't be cheeky and stay here.
Kaguya didn't care, as if the prince had never been here.
Taketori closed the door and shut out all the hustle and bustle.
The craftsmen were overjoyed, and the prince directly left his money bag, which contained a few hundred gold, far more than the remuneration they had agreed in advance.
These craftsmen are worried about the promises of the big man, although they are just a small housekeeper, they are also terrible characters, and it is naturally impossible for the big man himself to personally order such a small thing.
However, before these people walked a few miles with the money, they were caught up by the people who were blushing at the money, and many people saw the full money bag just now.
The masked man, who had been in ambush for a long time, knocked them all to the ground, looted all the money and fled.
I thought I could make a fortune, but who knew that in the end, it was still a bamboo basket for water, if it weren't for a few people who still had an official body, I was afraid that even my life would have to be given away.
More than a dozen craftsmen with sad faces had to come to the door and ask to see Prince Ishisaku.
The housekeeper sent Hanako away, gave some money, and threw them all out.
"These people have broken their promises, and now they are also abandoned, which is a sentence of the world."
"Your Excellency also believes in the Buddhist doctrine of retribution?"
Kaguya and Harumi watched what was happening in the distance through the water mirror, and the sounds and images seemed to be in front of them.
"The theory of retribution is not accurate. It didn't exist at first, and it was only because of this desire that people hoped for the existence of karma that miracles that could be called karma gradually appeared. ”
But most of the time, this karma does not exist. It can only bind those who believe in it, and those who believe will be rewarded, and those who do not believe will be rewarded. ”
"It is precisely because many people do not believe in the strict and harsh system of karma in Buddhism that Buddhism does not cover the heavens with one hand. When the whole world really believes in karma, the world is almost controlled by Buddhism. It is a great merit for an individual, enough to give birth to several Buddhas who are truly beyond the world; For a country, such strict karma is a terrible thing that greatly hinders the development of the human world,"
"But this has nothing to do with us, Buddhism will naturally have other sects as opponents, and it will not be allowed to dominate alone."
"I'm almost done now, what about the pay?"
Harumi handed the fiery red fire rat fur to Kaguya, which he had dropped from Fujiwara's house, and the real thing had already been picked up by him.
"Fire Rat Qiu Wow・・・・・・ Penglai Jade Branch is fake, the stone bowl in front of the Buddha is fake, the one who went to fetch the swallow Amber is seriously ill at home, and the one who is looking for the dragon treasure jade is said to have been shipwrecked, and now there is only this Fujiwara family member left, and he can be clean for a while if he is solved."
Kaguya gently stood on tiptoe, hugged Harumi's neck, closed her eyes, and kissed deeply.
Then, he took a step back, covered half of his face with a mountain of mountains, his eyes flowed, and he said with a smile.
"In this way, the concubine body can be regarded as fulfilling the promise!"
