Chapter 256 Bamboo Cards
The tea in the blue and white porcelain cup has no water vapor, Huo Roufeng cooed for a while, and a cup of tea poured into his stomach.
Zhanhuai looked at her silently, took the empty cup, and poured her another cup of tea.
"I don't know about the affairs between our family and the Gao family, but I have known about the affairs of our family and the royal family since I was a child. This time, my father was attacked, but the emperor knew about it before the local officials handed it over, and the insoles worn by the assassins could only be bought in the capital, and we all knew who was planning it. ”
"If it wasn't a stand-in who was assassinated that day, but my father himself, then the emperor would probably have begun to dismantle the Zhan family's military power at this time. Xiao Jiu, our family must take action, so many years of avoidance, in exchange for the intensification of the imperial court, if you endure it like this, next time I am afraid it will not be a secret assassination. ”
Someone wants to trample you under your feet, dodging and forbearance is only temporary, if you want to never suffer from future troubles, it is a counterattack.
Huo Roufeng raised his head, his big eyes were sparkling, and the Zhan family wanted to take advantage of King Rong's rebellion to gain the upper hand.
In her previous life, the Duke of Min and the Duke of Zhen were one south and one north, she was too young at the time to be familiar with the Duke of Min in the south, and all her understanding was limited to the fact that the Zhan family was Mrs. Gao's husband's family.
And now, she can't help but be in awe of the Zhan family.
She likes it, dripping with joy and without being aggrieved.
"Xiao Zhan, if you want to go to war, what do you need me to do, just ask." Huo Roufeng said in detail.
Zhan Huai smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, if I can get my wish, can you give me an object that I can take with me?" Those stones are good, but I can't take them with me to battle. ”
Huo Roufeng was stunned, confused: "What do you want, horse?" Or a sword? ”
Zhan Huai was ashamed, he felt like he was coaxing a child.
"I have my own horse, and I have a sword that I am used to, and no matter how good you send it, I am not used to it for a while, but it is not good. Xiao Jiu, Yongji Temple has opened a hall of merit for you, I think the great monk who came there will give you face, you give me an object that the great monk of Yongji Temple has opened, and I will carry it with me as a talisman. ”
Huo Roufeng patted his head, yes, Zhanhuai wants to go to the battlefield, and it is better to send him a talisman than to send a war horse and a sword.
"Okay, leave this matter to me, don't wait for you to go to the battlefield before sending it, I see that you have been in crisis since you arrived in the capital, and I will go to Yongji Temple in the next few days."
Huo Roufeng jumped down from the kang as she spoke, and Zhanhuai grabbed her: "Xiao Jiu, where are you going?" ”
"I'll go home and open the storeroom and see if there's anything right for you." Saying that, she had already put on her shoes, turned around in a circle, remembered the matter of Su Qian and Huo Qingzhou, and said to Zhan Huai before leaving, "When I first met Su Qian, I thought he was a person who didn't like to interact with people, but I didn't expect that he not only had a good relationship with Shen Yanqing, but also friends with Huo Qingzhou, who rarely returned to Beijing. ”
Zhan Huai didn't think about it, so he nodded and agreed: "It's me who ignored him before, and since he has repeatedly talked about Tongzhou today, then he must pay attention to it and see what Qingwangfu wants to do." ”
Huo Roufeng put his mind at ease, left the Guogong Mansion, and returned to Shuangjing Hutong.
As soon as she returned to her yard, she asked Cai Qin to open the warehouse, she went in and rummaged around, and found a peace card, not gold and not jade, like a bamboo card that was polished to be smooth as jade, picking tea and turning over the account book, the account book recorded, this peace card was sent by the big shopkeeper of the Guangdong branch of Yongfeng on the fifth birthday of the ninth master.
Huo Roufeng is very satisfied with his vision, and he has a rough heart, this peace card is very suitable for him.
The next day, the third day of the Lunar New Year, she asked the tent to prepare 1,000 taels of silver, and went to Yongji Temple early in the morning.
Huo Jiuye had already inquired, and the highest Taoist in Yongji Temple was not the abbot master, but an old Zen master who had been practicing in the back mountain for many years, and it was said that he was 100 years old.
So Huo Jiuye thought about it, and asked people to go to the account room to ask for three thousand taels of silver tickets, and the silver tickets were fifty taels, a full sixty.
Cai Qin asked her: "Isn't it just to let the old monk open the light, can he use so much silver?" ”
Huo Roufeng said: "Let's make a bet, the monk of Yongji Temple will say that the old monk of Houshan is old and doesn't ask about mundane things, so if you want him to open the light, you must first use silver to get his disciples and grandchildren." ”
Cai Qin rolled her eyes: "The slave and maid don't bet with the Ninth Master, the slave and maid only have two or two months a month, how can they lose to you." ”
Huo Roufeng laughed and took Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan out of Shuangjing Hutong.
Although today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, it is still the first month, and there are many pilgrims in Yongji Temple. Most of these people did not come to offer incense on the first day of the new year, and they came to incense the Bodhisattva before the first lunar month, hoping for good luck.
Huo Roufeng didn't expect that there were so many people on the third day of the Lunar New Year, she asked Zhang Ting to find the Zhike monk to come over and explain the intention, and the Zhike monk knew that this was Huo Jiuye, who opened the Hall of Merit, and he didn't dare to slack off, and took her to see the abbot.
Huo Roufeng asked the acquaintance: "Master Abbot has no guests?" ”
In her opinion, the abbot of the temple is similar to the big shopkeeper in the shop, and he has to receive people who come to him to do things all day long, such as her, and now she comes to the abbot with silver.
Zhike said: "The little monk doesn't know if the abbot has a guest, but since Master Huo Shi is here, the little monk can't delay." ”
In other words, no matter whether there is anyone in the abbot's house or not, I brought you anyway.
Huo Roufeng didn't expect to see the abbot immediately, she stood under the corridor for a while, and then a little novice came out and said to Huo Roufeng: "May I ask if this is Huo Shizhu?" ”
Huo Roufeng nodded, still rubbing the bamboo card in his hand.
The little novice said: "Then bother Lord Huo Shi to go in, the abbot master is invited." ”
Huo Roufeng also stood here for a while, except for this little novice, she didn't see anyone passing by.
Since the abbot asked her to wait here, there must have been a guest in front of her, but now he let her in, and she didn't see anyone coming out.
That is, the guests of the abbot are still inside.
Huo Roufeng asked the little novice: "May I ask if there is anyone else in the house besides the abbot master?" ”
Xiao Shami said: "Amitabha, there is also a Huo Shi Master, who is playing chess with the abbot master. ”
And a Huo Shi master?
Huo Roufeng asked, "How old is this Huo Shi, is it a man or a woman?" ”
Xiao Shami said: "Lord Huo Shi often comes to the temple, and the poor monks have also seen him a few times, Lord Huo Shi is a man, about forty or fifty years old. ”
Male, forty or fifty years old, of course it won't be Huo Qingzhou and Huo Sijin.
Could it be Huo Jiang?
