Chapter 33 The Design of the Little Temple
Chapter 33 The Design of the Small Temple
Lin Wenlang pouted and said, "It's not that kid who threatened me, saying that you are out of the palace for the first time, and I have to protect you for fear that you will get lost." If I don't agree, he will beat me to a pig's head. ”
Leng Yue smiled, she knew in her heart that if Ling Tian didn't say this, Lin Wenlang would have come, he was just looking for an excuse to fight.
"Let's go, I'll take you there, I'll take you shopping when I'm done early." Lin Wenlang stretched out his hand to pull Leng Yue, but suddenly put it down again, and secretly glanced at the city wall with his eyes.
Leng Yue nodded and walked side by side with Lin Wenlang. The capital is indeed prosperous, but behind this prosperity there are many glooms.
"Why are there so many beggars?" Leng Yue stood in an alley, looking at the entire alley full of beggars with tattered clothes and yellow muscles, including old men and screaming babies.
Lin Wenlang's eyes darkened, and he whispered: "After the emperor ascended the throne, the government was controlled by the queen mother, and when the queen mother died, the power fell into the hands of the Feng family...... After a long time, the emperor seems to be used to living a comfortable life, and he doesn't care about the government at all. ”
Leng Yue's eyes lit up and said, "Feng family? The Queen's maiden home? Is the power in her hands now? ”
Lin Wenlang shook his head and said: "The imperial forces are divided into three parts, the Feng family, the left phase, and the right phase. ”
Leng Yue nodded and asked, "Then which force are you a member of?" ”
Lin Wenlang raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I do things for the Feng family." ”
Leng Yue rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't want to say it, you don't need to lie, I know that you haven't taken refuge in any faction, and you can be regarded as a wise person to protect yourself." It's a pity for these people......"
Leng Yue turned around and walked out of the city, stepped on a sleek stone when she turned around, stumbled and was supported by Lin Wenlang, and the money bag in her pocket rolled out of her pocket when she pulled it, and rolled to the feet of a thin boy. The boy picked up the money bag, and the expression on his face changed five or six times in a short moment, and finally he reached out and handed it back to Leng Yue.
Leng Yue didn't raise her eyebrows and said, "Why don't you take it and run?" ”
The boy raised his head suddenly, his cheeks were unusually thin, his eyes were big and bright, and he trembled his lips and said, "I won't eat the medicine with the silver I snatched." ”
Leng Yue nodded and said: "Good boy, you need this silver more than me, I gave it to you, remember, this is not charity, you will have to repay me with interest when you grow up." ”
The boy opened his big eyes violently, Leng Yue smiled faintly, pulled up Lin Wenlang and left, the boy hurriedly shouted: "How can I pay you back when I have the money?" What's your name? ”
Leng Yue turned around and smiled brightly: "Don't look for me, I will naturally come to you when you have money." ”
The boy was stunned, Leng Yue's bright smile was deeply imprinted on his heart, holding the money bag tightly in his hand, and secretly vowed: "In the future, if you have money, you will pay it back a hundred times...... Even if you want all of yourself, you are willing to ......"
Lin Wenlang pouted and said, "How much silver is in the money bag?" ”
Leng Yue thought for a while and said, "There are about a hundred taels, all of which are rewarded by the Jade Concubine." Speaking of Bai Yuhe, Leng Yue's heart hurt again.
Lin Wenlang saw Leng Yue's discomfort, and changed the topic: "It's really generous, one hundred taels is enough for a family of five for ten years." Do you think he can pay you back? ”
Leng Yue smiled silently, quickened her pace, and finally came to the small holy temple after an hour, where the incense was flourishing and the crowd was surging. Leng Yue patted Lin Wenlang, stretched out her little hand and said, "There is no silver." ”
Lin Wenlang took out a piece of broken silver from his arms with a dark face and threw it into her hand, Leng Yue grinned, bought incense and walked around as worshippers. First, I entered the temple to offer incense, and saw the enshrined portrait, which was covered with a piece of white sand, fortunately, otherwise it would not be good for the monks in the temple to find out in advance.
After the incense was on, Leng Yue turned to the back of the temple, and there was a big tree behind it, and the tree was full of red fruits the size of pigeon's eggs. The fruit is crystal clear, very tempting, Lin Wenlang saw Leng Yue knocking her with a greedy look, and said with a smile: "The fruit can't be eaten, it is ripe and falls by itself, it is as hard as iron, and the lovers here like to use it to make ornaments and give them to each other." ”
When she heard that she couldn't eat it, Leng Yue felt stupid in her heart, and suddenly asked, "Will the emperor come here?" ”
"Yes, every time after the pilgrimage, I will come here and stretch out my hand and wait for an hour, hoping to get the fallen fruit. Pity...... It's been 30 years, and I haven't gotten a single one. ”
Leng Yue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she took out the prepared pebbles from her arms and put them in Lin Wenlang's hand and said, "Put these on the tree, and when the emperor comes, I will use the stones to knock them down and fall into his hands." ”
Lin Wenlang looked at the stone in his hand and exclaimed, "It's so exquisite, how did you do it?" Isn't it enough to put one, why put so many? ”
Leng Yue said: "Because I don't know where the emperor will stand, you put one in all directions, so that it can be foolproof." ”
Lin Wenlang nodded and flew up the tree, and after a while, he came down and said, "Okay, you are really thoughtful." ”
Leng Yue smiled: "These are all pediatrics, I have more powerful ideas, but I don't need them at the moment." It's done, let's go back to the palace. ”
Lin Wenlang shook his head and said, "It's hard to come out once, I'll take you around." ”
Leng Yue shook her head and said: "No, I have seen it all just now, the streets leading directly to the palace are the most prosperous, but those places on the side are very poor, I have observed, there are locals and outsiders, it seems that there is a disaster and fled here." ”
Lin Wenlang looked at Leng Yue with strange eyes and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to see it in just a few glances, that's right, Shun'an has a big drought every year, and Shuntong floods every year, so people in these two places move out every year." ”
"Does the court care?" Leng Yue is a little strange, doesn't the imperial court give disaster relief money?
"Humph!" Lin Wenlang snorted coldly. "Yes, every year, but how many of them reach the victims?"
Leng Yue nodded silently, this layer of exploitation is hateful, if it goes on for a long time, the national fortune of the Holy Dragon Dynasty is worrying.
Leng Yue sighed, bowed her head and said nothing, Lin Wenlang didn't know what to say, bought a lot of snacks on the street, packed them and took them, and when she arrived at the palace gate, she stuffed them into Leng Yue's arms and said, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth, and the victory or defeat of your plan is here." ”
Leng Yue said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely succeed, because that person will help me." ”
"Who?" Lin Wenlang asked vigilantly.
Leng Yue shook her head and said with a mysterious smile: "Naturally, it is the person who should be with me inside and out, you don't have to know, besides, I can't say it now." ”
Lin Wenlang didn't ask any more questions, suddenly hugged Leng Yue hard and quickly let go, and said seriously: "No matter what you do, tell me, don't take risks yourself, you know?" ”
Leng Yue nodded, entered the palace gate, and hurried back to the residence. Jixiang and Ruyi were very happy to see her come back, so Leng Yue spread the snacks in her hands and said with a smile: "Come, there is something delicious." ”
