The bell in the temple rang again, and everything in the Thousand Buddha Temple returned to normal.

Since the host came back, everyone was not allowed to mention this matter in private, and this matter was over. The people outside didn't know the inside story, but with some clues, they also had a guess: Lu Changshi and General Xue had met Master Jueming, just to cover up for Master Kongling. Master Jue Ming didn't want to offend the two who were now officials, so he had to promise not to mention the matter again, and not to hold Master Empty Silence accountable.

The people naturally hate this kind of thing the most, and it is inevitable that they will scold these officials in private for favoritism and malpractice by virtue of their power, and they will bend the law for the public. Whether or not this fact is what they see, in their eyes, the "truth" is what it is.

However, the emptiness, although he escaped the catastrophe "by luck" and was "treated differently", his heart was also bitter and unspeakable, and he only felt the cold outside the house, which was nothing more than that.

Only he knows about this matter, and it is a frame-up.

And later, after Senior Brother Kong Neng said that he could make up the money, he changed his mind because the disciples who presided over Master Jueming begged him not to make a big deal about this matter. I didn't want to make trouble, I just wanted to stay here in peace for three years, and I could return to Beijing after learning, and after a few thoughts, I agreed to the other party. But Senior Brother Kong Neng said that he was convinced that this matter had nothing to do with him, and he must seek justice for him, otherwise the monks of the Thousand Buddha Temple would think that they were weak and deceitful in the future. In this way, it is out of control.

He also knew about Xue Shao's garrison in Xizhou, but what he didn't expect was that Sanniang would also come, and Xue Shao would come forward for himself and speak for him. The attitude of the people in the temple also changed suddenly, especially when Lu Changshi ordered the temple to be closed...

With the presiding officer, the rest of the people will naturally not say these things in front of him now, but the emptiness knows that it is just self-deception, and not talking about it does not mean that the mind is nothing.

This matter, it seems to have looked in the past, but it also put Kong Lin into an embarrassing and embarrassing situation, that is, no matter whether Kong Lin did this thing or not, for others, he did it, because the long history and the attitude of the host have already shown that this matter is about to be turned over, and it will not be pursued again because it is in the face of General Xue, so it is just a matter of protection.

And he, in fact, doesn't matter if he has done it or not, because he doesn't have to care.

Kongneng was not treated by the host and the monks of the Thousand Buddha Temple, thinking that this matter was his fueling the troubles, and he didn't think it was a big deal to provoke the incident, plus he was not like someone behind the emptiness, so he was even more angry.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Naturally, I am not as blessed as my junior brother, but now I don't know what to do!" ”

Hearing this, Empty Silence felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he was relieved: "Senior brother is kind, but he has done bad things with good intentions, why don't you know what to do?" ”

Seeing that Kong Lone's face was innocent, as if he was out of the matter, Kong Neng's chest suddenly became angry, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "No need to say it again, I will never do such things in the future, I was also for your good, and I, who is a senior brother, can watch you being framed by others?" But what about you? But he looks useless, and he still thinks about calming things down, which is simply weak and incompetent! Senior brother doesn't know how to say that you are! ”

Empty energy put on his head and covered his face and lectured on empty silence, and empty silence always felt that he was not good enough, which affected others, so he suffered without saying a word. After thinking about it, he still reminded: "The host means not to mention it again in the future... Senior brother, you just don't have to say a word. ”

This made the empty energy more and more energetic, and he snorted, as if he hated that iron could not become steel, "If you want me to say, what else do you have to be afraid of now?" Since you have noble people to help you, why should you suffer this dumb loss! You are also a famous mage in Yongcheng, and you still have to suffer from this? Now that you don't even say a word, Master's face will be lost to you! What's the use of reading so many Buddhist scriptures? ”

Although the emptiness comforts oneself that he does not have to care, these are just vain in the heart, and they are things outside the body. But when he heard this, his face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and he also felt as if he was really as empty energy said, weak and useless, so he hung his head down in silence.

Seeing that he was still holding a Buddhist book in his hand, he couldn't help but say: "Senior brother and brother are incomparable to others, and with the help of nobles, it is naturally worry-free, I think why bother to study Buddhism there every day, it is perfunctory, who dares to say that you can't do it?" ”

Empty silence can endure, it doesn't mean stupid, he can't hear the meaning of empty energy's words, he can't help it, and asks, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

His character has been questioned, and now even this gain from studying Buddhism is being questioned perfunctory?

Kong Neng snorted and said, "Are you really going to forget this?" ”

Empty silence didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so he mumbled, folded his hands, closed his eyes and was about to chant Buddha. Seeing this, Kong Neng stomped his feet angrily, but he couldn't really do anything, and after a few laps in the meditation room, he left in a fit of anger.

Finally cleared, and the empty silence couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

After calming down, he couldn't help but think that General Xue's willingness to come forward showed that he and Sanniang believed in themselves? Or maybe it's just another reason, and it doesn't matter if you're innocent or not?

But in fact, he really hopes that Qingrong can believe in him as a person.

……

Master Jueming also established a basis, Xue Shao and Lu Kaiyan did things properly, and did not only make a verbal agreement because it was only a private agreement, which is naturally not reliable. It is written in black and white, and there is a certificate to follow.

The matter of money is solved, and the most important thing is the warm clothes to be used in winter, and now there is money to buy them, but it is a little too late to make them, even if they are sent to the clothing shop, they can't catch up with tens of thousands of clothes.

Ah Zhen got a response, and was about to leave from the clothing store, when he saw An Qilang and a beautiful young man with handsome facial features coming out of the room. An Qilang recognized Ah Zhen and greeted her, "You came with your wife?" ”

Ah Zhen saluted, shook her head and said, "My lady didn't go out at home." Ah Zhen couldn't help but glance at the young man next to An Qilang, this young man has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, deep facial features, and is also tall, and he is a Hu man at first glance. I didn't expect this An Shichiro to be good-looking himself, and even his cousins were handsome...

Anshiro smiled and introduced, "This is my cousin, Yasago. This shop is also Anjia's shop, and I just happened to come over to talk to him. ”

Kanggoro looked at Ah Zhen politely and smiled, the tips of Ah Zhen's ears were slightly red, and he also nodded and called, "I've seen Kang Goro." ”

An Shichiro asked, "What happened when you came out alone?" ”

Seeing him ask, Ah Zhen couldn't help but say more, "My lady is thinking of finding someone to make clothes, and asked me to come to the shop to inquire how much I can make in ten days." ”

Seeing that Ah Zhen returned empty-handed, he knew that he hadn't negotiated well, and An Qilang asked, "How much does this cost?" "There's no reason, you can't even get out of the garment shop.

"Let's say more than 10,000 pieces..."

So much! Both Yasushiro and Yasagoro were surprised.

Ah Zhen nodded indiscriminately, not wanting to delay the time by saying more, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

This An Qilang's brain turned fast, Lu Qingrong's identity was there, and he wanted to know who these clothes were for, if he could take over this matter, not to mention a big deal, and build a good relationship with the official family, maybe there would be more ways in the future... So, he soon got to heart.

The next day, Anshiro came to visit.

But this time he didn't come alone, and brought his brother An Saburo at home over, Ah Zhen also deliberately glanced behind a few times, but she didn't see Kanggoro yesterday, thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Song Yue saw her glancing around, looking a little lost, and couldn't help but be curious, "What are you looking at?" ”

I only heard Ah Zhen muttering, "Why didn't this An Qilang bring his cousin?" ”

Song Yue glanced at her and said with a smile: "He must have come to find the lady for something, what did he bring his cousin to do?" If you say so, will not all his family bring it? You are. ”

Ah Zhen smiled embarrassedly, and couldn't help but think, it's not because that Kanggoro was so good-looking yesterday, who wouldn't like to take a few more glances at people who are good-looking? And that Yasugoro was born so young and kind... It's not as cold and serious as Ah Lang, and it's a little more tough than that "male goblin" Gu Langjun... In short, she just felt very different.

Song Yue reminded her: "Okay, okay, don't think about it here, go ahead and wait for the lady." ”

……

Here, Qingrong just talked about business with An Qilang.

An Qilang happened to meet Ah Zhen when he was talking to Kanggoro in the Anjia store yesterday, and he probably guessed something. "If Madame doesn't like it, my brother and I thought of a way yesterday."

Qingrong nodded and said, "It's okay for An Langjun to be blunt. ”

"Although Anjia's garment shop is also big in Xizhou, I am afraid that it is impossible to rush out so many clothes, not to mention that these stores are all doing business for people like Mrs., ordinary people will not come to this store to make clothes, which can save a lot of clothes."

Qingrong nodded when she heard this, An Qilang said clearly, the cost of these labors is very high, and she wants so many pieces, which can neither be done nor costly...

An Qilang continued: "It's better for Madame to invite some women who work as female workers from outside, the An family has a group of embroidery girls who do female workers, and now that winter is the time of slack farming, they can also free up their hands and feet to help catch up with the system." ”

Slack?

Qing Rongden had an idea, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "An Langjun is reasonable. I don't think it's too early, An Langjun and his cousin came by coincidence, it's better to stay for a light meal, the general will come back today, I have already heard of An Langjun's reputation, and the general is also wanting to see it. ”

An Qilang and An Saburo were full of surprise when they heard this, and they responded: "Don't dare, don't dare, thank you for the general's dislike, I'm really ashamed!" ”

Qingrong instructed Song Yue to send a letter to Xue Shao, saying that it was a difficult matter in front of her, but she had a way to ask him to come back and discuss it. Song Yue naturally didn't dare to delay, and went to the barracks in the outer city to find it in person.

Xue Shao saw that Qingrong sent someone to look for him, he must have something urgent, and soon returned home. When they entered the house, they saw that An Qilang and another Hu merchant were also waiting for them, they saw Xue Shao's face happy, and hurriedly got up to salute, Xue Shao didn't know what Qingrong meant, but she thought that she must have a good intention to invite someone to come, so she waved her hand and said politely: "No need to be polite." ”

Qingrong stepped forward, smiled and briefly said to Xue Shao what An Qilang said just now, "But I think that now is the farming, farming and grazing are all closed, and it is still early for the obscure festival, and now is the time when everyone has to be free, I think it is better to ask the female dependents of each family to rush to make it, only do simple sewing, voluntarily participate, and then record it in the book, and pay the money and silk according to the piece afterwards." ”

Xue Shao was a little surprised, and felt that this was not impossible.

I only heard An Qilang applauding from the side, "Mrs. So-and-so, this method is very good!" First, there is no need to worry about this manpower, and the cost is not high. Second, now that there is no need to farm, ordinary people can also receive more than one account to subsidize the family. ”

Xue Shao thought for a moment, the population of Xizhou is only more than 40,000, if it is calculated like this, it will not be less if it is not more... He thinks it sounds feasible, but he's worried about whether it's feasible.

Qingrong said: "It's naturally different from doing it, An Langjun's cousin Kang Langjun is in the garment making business, and the details are very clear, if the general thinks it's okay to try, why don't you ask Lu Changshi to discuss it then?" ”

Xue Shao agreed, and said to Qingrong: "It's still thoughtful." ”
