Chapter 22 Departure from Foguang Temple

"Qingqing, this girl, what are you still inking?" The old prince rode on a tall horse, and the group was already divided into men riding horses and women riding carriages, all waiting at the door, ready.

"It's coming, it's coming, I'm coming." Xia Qingqing ran out quickly.

I climbed into the carriage as soon as I got into it. In the carriage, the fourth sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law all stretched out their hands to help her. "What do you think you're running this girl?" The third sister-in-law talked about her.

Xia Qingqing smiled, "I'm not afraid it's too late." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late, you should get up early! After all, it was so abrasive that I almost missed the time to go out. The fourth sister-in-law picked up a handkerchief and wiped the thin sweat on her forehead for her.

"Yes, yes, next time, I'll be earlier." Okay, you little girl, play word games with me, there's no next time! ”

"In the morning, I called Xiao Lu to call you up early in the morning, saying, why is the ink so long?" The fourth sister-in-law and sister-in-law, if you don't say it, I won't be able to give up.

Xia Qingqing stammered, "This, this is for a reason, her tone slowly lengthened." With a coquettish face, he looked at the two sisters-in-law, "When I woke up this morning, I suddenly had inspiration, so the inspiration came, we must not live up to it, and then I wrote and painted, wrote and painted, and because it was too brain-spent, I was hungry." ”

"When I'm hungry, I'm sure I'll have to eat, and when I'm eating, because I'm still thinking about writing and drawing, I spill porridge on my clothes, and I'm sure I'm going to change it, I'm going to change it," she said.

"Stop, stop, don't detour me here, you're still too inky."

Xia Qingqing knew that there was a mistake and was affectionate, so she took the arms of the two sisters-in-law and squeezed them between the two. "Okay, my best sisters-in-law, don't be angry with me, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law can't see each other a few times a year, so it's just the three of us who can be in the house all day long, forgive me."

"On the one hand, I am used to being coquettish."

The carriage creaked and began to move, Xia Qingqing lifted the small curtain on the carriage and shouted outside, "Grandfather, grandfather." ”

The old prince, who had been riding a horse in front, heard her shout, tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's okay, just calling you!" Xia Qingqingdui said with a smile.

Xia Qingqing couldn't wait to stick her head out of the small window, and the old prince scolded her, "Take your head back, pay attention to safety, there is still half a day's journey to go, and when you get to Foguang Temple, I will talk to you in detail." ”

In the carriage, the third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law grabbed her by one arm and pulled her back.

"You ghost girl, you are still restless in the carriage, beware of a stone on the road and knocking your head"

"It won't be like this," looking at the serious eyes of the sisters-in-law, Xia Qingqing immediately began to feel weak, "Come sister-in-law, drink some tea," pick up the teapot and pour the tea, it is also bad luck, when the carriage is driving, it walks into a puddle, usually it doesn't feel very much, but it just so happens that she is pouring tea, and the whole person shakes the tea, and immediately spills it out.

"Look, you're busy, don't fall down. It's also not convenient to go to the toilet here, so you should drink less. The fourth sister-in-law hurriedly wiped the tea with a handkerchief.

Xia Qingqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, it's not convenient, then let's not drink it." ”

"Yesterday was the first day of your Bai Yutang's opening, how was it? How much does it cost? Don't try to get away with me. The fourth sister-in-law glanced at her.

"How dare I fool my sisters-in-law? Yesterday, no more, no less, a full 250,000 taels. ”

"How much silver?"

"Are you sure you counted correctly?" The two asked incredulously.

Xia Qingqing fiddled with the tea bowl in his hand, "What's wrong with this, it's all silver tickets, and it's very good." ”

"This. It's simply that. ”

"I can't believe it." The eyes of the two kept looking at Xia Qingqing, and they made her goosebumps stand up.

"Two sisters-in-law, don't look at me like this, I didn't collect this money,"

"Yesterday, after Bai Yutang closed, Lin Jin, Lin Yin, they came to the mansion with the account book and 250,000 taels of silver tickets. At that time, I was also shocked and hurriedly went to tell my grandfather. “

"My grandfather was much calmer than my sister-in-law."

"If you come less, compare the two of us with our grandfather, and you will say it." Li Ru said angrily.

"My grandfather didn't say anything at the time, just told me to run Baiyutang well. So let me go down with a few people, and even the silver tickets were confiscated. But if you want me to see, my grandfather was also shocked at the time. From the time I took Lin Jin and Lin Yin into his study to the time I left, it was only a cup of tea. I went out early today, so I guess he won't have time to talk to me about anything. ”

"And what about the cost?" Lin Yuan'er asked, "And what is your cost?" ”

"The cost is about 40,000 taels to 60,000 taels." Xia Qingqing snapped her fingers, "The clavicle chain is very profitable, and the cost is low, but the accessories are more at a loss, and the gems and jadeite we use are all expensive rough stones." ”

"Even if you sell it at a high price, you can't make much money."

"That's not much, you're basically making more than half of it back." The third sister-in-law Li Ru said.

"Sister-in-law, more than half of it is something, if it was a price, I should have been more ruthless and set this price higher, so that our family can lie down and count the money in the future."

The two of them immediately laughed and scolded, "You are a ghost, how much do you want for a little ghost, you can take it easy!" ”

"I know something, it must be good, and our Bai Yutang is huge, it is impossible for anyone to imitate our products, even if it is imitated, what about imitation? The truth can still be seen, everyone buys things in Baiyutang are registered, even if there is circulation in the market in the future, we can also find out who is circulating on the market according to the style according to the buyer and seller. ”

"This clavicle chain, what it sells is a clever word, with a bracelet, with those gadgets, such as rings, is it sold?"

"It's not a long way to sell, but it's not a long-term solution? No matter how many styles there are, no matter how novel the styles are, there will be a day of aesthetic fatigue. X Xia Qingqing said word by word.

"What is aesthetic fatigue? I found out that Bai Yutang, who started to design it, has so many new words coming out of his mouth? The third sister-in-law asked suspiciously.

Xia Qingqing was embarrassed, and didn't know what to take, so she had to say, "It's not for the sake of having ideas, but for having ideas, I've read some more folk painting books, and I didn't create these words myself, they were all written in books." Xia Qingqing snorted, trying to round things up.

The fourth sister-in-law didn't give up, "What kind of book did you read and send it to me to have a look?" I'm also learning to learn, maybe we can make another piece of jewelry. The fourth sister-in-law said to the third sister-in-law Li Ru, "Sister-in-law will also bring you some, you can also see that we can do it together, not only can we make money ourselves, but we also have to get a piece of the pie in her Baiyutang." ”

"Sister-in-law, that's just the way I said it. Didn't you say yes? In Baiyutang's income, our two families are divided fifty-fifty. ”

"That's what I said, so who knew that your Bai Yutang could really make so much money? Now I don't dare to divide it, so let's listen to what my grandfather has to say, right? The more the fourth sister-in-law talked, the more hesitant she became.

Xia Qingqing pursed her lips, "Then listen to my grandfather, after all, it's useless for me to take so much, it's better to go to the mansion and give us dividends on a monthly basis." ”

"Don't rush to make a conclusion, I'll listen to my grandfather."

Several people discussed it, but there was no result, and the fourth sister-in-law opened the small curtain and looked outside. "It's really fast, I guess it's time to get half a cup of tea."

Xia Qingqing was already carrying the carriage with a look on her face at this time, and the bumps were really about to vomit, what she ate in the morning was too greasy, and at this time, coupled with the things she just talked about, it was estimated that it accelerated and consumed the oxygen in the carriage, which made her a little dizzy now.

The third sister-in-law sensed that she was wrong and asked, "Aren't you motion sickness?" This hasn't been the case before! ”

Xia Qingqing also said helplessly, "I shouldn't get motion sickness, but it's really uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Lu, who was sitting outside the carriage, listened to the conversation in the carriage and immediately opened it, and Xiao Qing said, "If Miss lifts this curtain, will it feel better?" ”

The wind slowly blew in, and Xia Qingqing woke up, "It's not bad, let's open it, open this curtain first." ”

The carriage finally stopped, Xia Qingqing walked out slowly with Xiaoqing's support, the third and fourth sisters-in-law followed closely, and the grandfather also handed the horse to the monk who was already waiting at the door.

The abbot of Foguang Temple, Master Puhua, has been waiting at the door for a long time, "Amitabha, the old man greets the prince." ”

"Master, please get up quickly, this king can't afford it."

"Lord Wang, please come inside, please move to the inner wing."

"Okay, okay." The host Master Puhua and the old prince walked in front with a few people, and Xia Qingqing and the others followed the little monk into the inner wing.

"Master, my family and I come to the temple to stay for a few days at this time of year, and this time it happened to be just in time for the night banquet in the palace. The time is relatively short, and it is really a trouble for the master. ”

"What did the prince say? Every year at this time, I look forward to the prince coming to talk with me about the scriptures and the Dharma. When the old monk saw you, he was overjoyed. The old prince is a person of great merit. It is also a lot of help for me to talk more about Buddhism with the old prince. ”

"Hahahaha, the master laughed."

The three of them sat on a futon. The little monk had already cooked the tea, "The old prince, the fourth young master, please." ”

"Please, Master, please."

"The tea brewed from the spring water of Foguang Temple is really different." The old prince sighed.

"The prince laughed, where is the water different? It's obviously a different state of mind. This is an important place for Buddhism, and as soon as you enter here, you will have no distractions, and your mind will naturally be calm, and everything you see will be cleaner. ”
