Chapter 154: Ganye Temple
The distance from the gangster's street to the eldest grandson's old mansion on the south side of West Street is not very far, and Li Yao and the four of them only spent half a column of incense on the cart to come to the outside of the eldest grandson's old mansion.
Long before going to Gangster Street, Li Yao took off the plaque hanging on the top of the mansion door, so the three of An Babu didn't know that this mansion was actually the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji's family more than 20 years ago, and Li Yao didn't want An Babu to worry about it.
After all, the eldest grandson Wuji is in the heart of the Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, but it is a big taboo, if An Babu knows about this, it is estimated that he will not dare to live in.
And the three of Anbabu, as soon as they came to the mansion, the three of them were stunned, originally the three of them wanted to come, Li Yao set up a house, but it was just a small house, but where did they think that this house was as big as a mansion, they never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to live in such a place in their lives.
This...... This was simply not expected by the trio.
Li Yao was very satisfied with the expressions of the three of them, and said proudly to the three of them: "The front yard of this house is so big, the back yard is bigger, there are two small courtyards in the backyard, there is a study in the south, and there is a big garden in the north. ”
"The house is big, and it's good, but it costs some silver to decorate it, right?" asked Ambabu, a little worried.
"Don't worry, Dad, you just have to lead people to cultivate goodness, and your son will take care of the silver for you. Li Yao stretched out his hand and patted his chest, swearing back to Ambabu.
An Babu pulled up an old face again, looked at Li Yao suspiciously, and didn't know why, he really couldn't figure it out, where did Li Yao get so much money to buy this big house, and there was more money to decorate this house, and An Babu was also puzzled in his heart for a while.
After instructing An Yuyin and Wang Ling'er and the two daughters to go and clean up the room and place the things, only he and Li Yao were left standing in the front yard, and An Babu asked: "You kid tell the truth! Where did you get the money to buy this house, and if you want to buy such a big house in Chang'an City, you have to spend a lot of silver taels, right? Besides, where did the land outside the south gate come from, wouldn't it be you who bought it? Although the land over there is a little more partial, it is not very far from the Ganye Temple outside the city, and you can still buy the land there, I think it cost a lot of silver, right?"
"Uh...... This ......" Li Yao was asked by Ambabu like this, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Jiang is still old and spicy, An Babu is definitely an old and refined guy, he has lived in Chang'an City for so many years, in Chang'an City, outside the city, where there are what, he doesn't know everything, anyway, he knows it very well, he naturally knows that the land over there from the south gate is not easy to buy.
The land over there is a little off, but it is not far from the Ganye Temple, and if you want to buy land there, you don't have a little silver tael in your hand, which is unrealistic.
Seeing Li Yao's speechless appearance, An Babu's brows furrowed, and he scolded: "If you don't make it clear to Lao Tzu now, Lao Tzu won't live, Lao Tzu will move back immediately, or live in Lao Tzu's own nest, I will be more down-to-earth." ”
"Don't, daddy, ouch! Listen to me!" Li Yao was anxious, and quickly reached out to grab An Babu.
"Say it quickly. Ambabu roared.
Li Yao's eyes rolled in his sockets, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately pulled his face and said to Ambabu: "That's the case, I'm not going to be an errand boy in the princess's mansion, okay? The princess knows that you are living in that smoky place now, and she thinks that you are my family, so she gave me the house in her hand, which has been useless, and asked me to work as an errand in the mansion in the future." ”
"Really?" Ambab asked.
"Of course it's true, am I still lying to Daddy? But Daddy! This house must have been given by the princess, although the princess is rich now, but the queen mother has not given her a good life, so you must not take it out and talk nonsense, in the future, you also have to support Yuyin and Ling'er, don't let them talk about it, otherwise it will bring trouble to the princess, and the problem will be a big problem." Li Yao slyly muttered in An Babu's ear.
An Babu thought to himself, what Li Yao said is also true, the princess has really had a hard time in the past few years, and when he thought that this house was given by the princess, An Babu's heart was steady, anyway, he thought, how to say that the princess is also the son of the Tang Dynasty, people have money, some are houses, and some are land, so he should not think that the land outside the south gate is also given by the princess.
In this way, what else did he have to worry about? As long as he didn't reveal this matter in the future, wouldn't that be fine? In this way, he would be comfortable to live in, and his life would be steady, and he would not make trouble for the princess.
Thinking of this kind in his heart, the expression on An Bale's face instantly became calm, and he raised his head and smiled at Li Yao: "Okay, even if it was given by the princess, then I have nothing to say, I will keep this matter secret in the future, Yuyin and that Ling'er, who dares to say it, Lao Tzu broke her legs." ”
"Oh, that's great. Li Yaole laughed out loud.
After laughing for a while, Li Yao suddenly stopped his smile again and asked, "By the way, Dad, you just said that the few pieces of land outside the south gate are not far from Ganye Temple?"
"That's right, what's wrong?" Ambabu asked Li Yao rhetorically.
"When I was competing with Qin Yu before, I also met an old man, he said that he lived in the Ganye Temple outside the city, the Ganye Temple you are talking about, wouldn't it be the Ganye Temple?" Li Yao mentioned what he told him when he was competing with Qin Yu before, when he met the mysterious old man who pulled out his Seven Fowl Fist.
Originally, after winning Qin Yu, Li Yao also wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Ganye Temple outside the city, find the old guy, and discuss the Seven Bird Boxing with him, but then he met the old witch of Yangmei and asked him to get rid of the big traitors and evils, which was delayed.
Li Yao didn't expect that this incident would lead to the next series of things, and it wasn't until now, when An Babu suddenly mentioned Ganye Temple, that Li Yao became interested.
As soon as An Babu heard Li Yao's words, he immediately raised his hand and slapped Li Yao on the back of the head, and scolded angrily: "You are really stupid, don't you know that such a famous Ganye Temple outside Chang'an City?"
"Hmm, could it be that the Queen Mother was a monk when she was young?" Li Yao exclaimed.
Speaking of this Ganye Temple, he also knows, it is said in history that in the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, that is, in 649 AD, after the death of Tang Taizong, Wu Zetian and some of the concubines who had no children were sent to the Ganye Temple together to cut their hair as nuns, so the Ganye Temple can be said to be the most impressive place in Wu Zetian's life.
However, although Wu Zetian's monk Ganye Temple is also in the Chang'an area, it is a bit unreasonable to say that this Ganye Temple is outside Chang'an City! Could it be that there is an error in the historical record? In fact, Wu Zetian's Ganye Temple is not far from Chang'an City?
Li Yao had such a question in his heart, and he stood there staring at Ambabu, his eyes flickering.
An Babu shook his head and said to Li Yao: "No, the Queen Mother's Ganye Temple, which was a monk when she was young, is some distance from Chang'an City, and the Ganye Temple outside Chang'an City is a small Ganye Temple, which is built in imitation of the Queen Mother's great Ganye Temple, after the Queen Mother returned to Chang'an City, she also had some thoughts about the Ganye Temple, so she built the small Ganye Temple not far from Chang'an City, so that when she wanted to go, she could go to the temple to incense when she went out of the city, and recalled those days of the year. ”
"I see! When Li Yao heard Ambabu's words, he immediately shouted in relief.
He said that Wu Zetian's Ganye Temple, which he became a monk when he was young, could not be outside Chang'an City, and now! Li Yao figured it out, and after doing it for a long time, Wu Zetian was actually quite sentimental, but Li Yao thought about it, and he was a little noncommittal, after all, no matter how strong Wu Zetian was, she was a woman after all.
Isn't sentimentality exactly the sign of a woman? Wu Zetian naturally can't avoid this sign.
After figuring out the origin of this Ganye Temple outside Chang'an City, Li Yao also said to An Babu indifferently: "That Dad, when we go to collect rent at the end of the month, let's take Yuyin and Ling'er to Ganye Temple by the way!
"Okay! Now that your kid is promising, I will naturally go and ask you for a piece of incense, so that you can go all the way smoothly in the future, rise step by step, and become a big official! Haha......" At the end of Ambabu's words, he looked up and laughed happily.
Li Yao also pulled his face, and his heart was happy.
But when the two of them were standing in the front yard and enjoying themselves, there were two guards from the Dutong Mansion who walked in at the gate, carrying a big box in their hands, and as soon as the two of them came in, they saluted Li Yao in unison and said to him: "Guard Feng, our family has asked us to send you the silver, and he is afraid that you are in a hurry, so he asked us to send it to you quickly." ”
"Okay, trouble the two brothers, I have some broken silver, how can the two brothers not dislike it, just take it and drink some wine, eat and drink enough and then go back to the capital!" Li Yaole stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, and rewarded the two guards who gave the silver.
The two of them naturally thanked Li Yao happily, and after thanking Li Yao, the two left.
When the two left, Ambabu stepped forward curiously and asked, "What's the silver inside?"
"Yes, I borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from Cheng Dutong, he knew that we would spend a lot of silver to decorate this mansion, so he asked his subordinates to send it to me, originally I said that 500 taels was enough, but Cheng Dutong was generous! Without saying a word, he gave me 5,000 taels, and I couldn't help it, Dad, you just keep the 5,000 taels! In the future, when Cheng Dutong asks for it, I will take it from you and pay him back, if he is not in a hurry, our family will spend it. Li Yao pulled up the white lie and explained it to Ambabu.
When he said this, he really didn't want Ambabu to worry about it anymore, and sure enough, after Anbabu heard him say this, the whole person immediately pulled his face happily, with these five thousand taels, he will have a better life in the future! Anyway, it doesn't cost much to decorate the house, and with so many silver taels, what is he worried about for the rest of his life?
Anyway, when they are waiting for Cheng Boxian to go back, they should have already saved up, and they are not afraid, Anbabu is thinking like this in his heart for a while, so the more he thinks about it, the happier Anbabu is in his heart, and the more he feels that he picked up Li Yao's son to raise, and he really didn't pick it up!
