Chapter 194: What a coincidence
The woman's maiden name is Liang, and she made a continuation for Li Shouzhong, and only gave birth to a daughter, Li Kun, because she looked at the two little girls who were also like Dilian, and she was suddenly full of joy.
smiled and said, "Min'er, Qi'er, why are they here at this time?" Are you okay? It's just Brother Jian'er's family who is here today...... But the two big girls, what is it worth, let your sisters run away. ”
These two little girls are the girls in the fourth room of the Li family in Jinling, and they have no brothers and sisters, and their father went early and only lived with their widowed mother. When Li Weijian was in Jinling, he saw that his family was living a difficult life, but he often received one or two.
Li Wen and Li Qi glanced at each other when they heard this, and they were suddenly a little lost.
Liang stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two girls, and said with a smile: "Although I am just a big girl, I can't say that I can still be a 'little sister-in-law' for you in the future, I have just seen it, they are all extremely outstanding characters, and they are not as good as looking for them to be naughty." ”
Li Qi said: "I don't know what kind of character it is, I'll have to take a closer look after a while." ”
Sister Coco Li said: "Fourth Brother Jian is the most picky person, I expect those two girls to be extremely outstanding. ”
Liang ordered the maid and said, "Take the two girls to meet Qingwen and Xiangling, and if they stop picking, take them to have some refreshments." ”
The maid responded and led Coco Li and Li Qi to go. The Liang family went out of the small courtyard, and the mother-in-law who was looking for the housekeeper asked, and then went to the study.
Ben Dao talked to Li Shouzhong about some family matters, but when he arrived at the door of the study, he heard Li Shouzhong scold: "This kind of romance, don't mention it." ”
Liang turned the screen and saw that the housekeeper was talking to Li Shouzhong, so she said, "Who is the master scolding?" ”
"Who else could it be?" Li Shouzhong said: "It's Jia Lian who came to the house in the first month." ”
"Jia Lian?" Liang thought about it for a while, and wondered: "This person looks at his gentle temperament, where did he provoke the master?" ”
"Gentle?" Li Shouzhong snorted coldly: "Every day, I heard that I have never left the Qinhuai River with the children of the Jia family and the Zhen family this month, and I have been making noise to redeem myself for the green smoke these days, I am really uneasy." ”
Liang Nahan said: "He is self-indulgent, what does it have to do with the master?" ”
Li Shouzhong said: "That Jia Lian claims to have a good relationship with Brother Jian'er, he has such a character, you can imagine how Brother Jian'er is a bastard in Beijing." ”
Liang almost believed it, thought about it carefully, and immediately refuted: "Master Hugh wants to say it!" That...... Those two maids have never opened their faces, and Brother Jian will definitely not be like Na Jia Lian. ”
Where is Li Shouzhong willing to believe this? Lifting the pen and writing the words, he muttered: "What the hell, wait for the old man to write a letter, and ask the old master of Beijing to know." ”
Li Shouzhong said this, and Liang couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. I secretly thought in my heart, this thrifty brother will soar to the sky in his youth, his family business will be there, and his official title will be presumptuous?
This can't be done, when the frugal brother comes, he always has to persuade him.

Shanghai County.
Bitong helped Xiu Ying to get down from the sampan, raised her eyes, and squeezed and rubbed all over the place. There are horse-drawn carriages coming and going on this wharf, and more are laborers who carry bags shirtless.
Behind him, more than 20 ships of various types docked, and the towering animal power boom lifted the huge bags from the ship; In front of him, he vaguely glimpsed the convergence of countless carriages, horses, and sedan chairs. Farther away, there are many shops on the street, and the prosperity of this place is no less than Guangzhou.
Li Weijian stopped and looked back and said, "Does it matter?" ”
Xiu Ying shook her head weakly, and said, "Fortunately, it's only six days, if it drags on for a few more days, I'm afraid that the bitter gall will be vomited." ”
Li Weijian shook his head and looked at Bitong again, who suddenly lowered his head and lowered his eyes. Her heterochromatic pupils are also very strange in the eyes of the people of Dashun, and some good people privately call her yin and yang eyes. If it were in medieval Europe, her eyes would have been burned to death.
But this scumbag master is different from the Shunren next to him, every time he stares at her heterochromatic pupils, he shows a look of appreciation. There is no lust in that appreciation, but there is spoiling, which is really weird.
After thinking wildly, Bitong helped Xiu Ying out of the dock, and then saw a small official rushing over, stopping in front of Li Weijian and nodding and saying something.
“…… My lord, the sixteenth machine was sent to Suzhou. ”
"Well, what did the weaving yamen say?"
"This ...... Chen Langzhong glanced at it, and only said hello, but didn't say anything next to him? ”
"Huh?" Li Weijian stopped, and looked at the little official in the inner mansion: "Chen Langzhong didn't say that the manufacturing bureau buys machines?" ”
"Nope."
"What about the pitch meeting?"
"This-" The little official sneered: "-Chen Langzhong has been busy with affairs recently, and he has never thought about it for a while. ”
Li Weijian was happy: "Chen Liangzhong doesn't look down on me." ”
Dashun inherited the former Ming Dynasty, and there were three major manufacturing bureaus in Jiangnan in the former Ming Dynasty, namely Suzhou Weaving, Hangzhou Weaving, and Jinling Weaving, and the eunuch was appointed to supervise at that time; In the Dashun Dynasty, there was such a behemoth as the Inner House, and the Weaving Bureau was incorporated into the Inner Government.
At this time, the weaving bureau has one person who is lifting Langzhong, and he is five products; There are three officials under it, who are the main affairs of the six products; Further down, there are chief masters, masters, foremen, etc., and these people are either not in the stream, or they are officials.
In addition to supervising the weaving and delivery of silk required for weaving, official use, rewards, and sacrificial ceremonies, it also has the privilege of secret music, and directly reports to the saints about money and grain, officials, camps, anti-theft, quelling of unrest, recommendation, impeachment, harvest, grain prices, scholarly activities, and folk customs.
With such a secret privilege, and not subordinate to each other, the promotion of Langzhong is naturally transcendent. Over time, it will naturally become a big tail.
It's just that Li Weijian is also in the inner palace, and he first has the support of the loyal and brave king Xingwen, and then the saint gives him the king's order flag, and this surname Chen doesn't want to be good!
The little official was silent, Li Weijian continued to move forward, and asked before getting into the car: "Do you know what Chen Langzhong is busy with?" ”
"I heard that the weavers in Suzhou were going on a strike, and Chen Langzhong was anxious at this time, so he didn't care about it."
This reason is quite legitimate, Li Weijian ironed a little in his heart, and decided to forgive the surnamed Chen for the time being, and talk about it after meeting.
He got into the carriage, and Bitong at the back helped Xiuying to get into the carriage, and the little official said: "My lord, Suzhou is more than 200 miles away from here, and I can't catch it in one day." Do you live in Shanghai County or Songjiang Mansion today? ”
"Let's go to Matsue Mansion."
The little official responded, and immediately ordered the coachman to drive forward.
Xiu Ying was sick and crooked to the side, squinting at the outside scene, and said after a while: "Master, this Shanghai is no worse than Guangzhou." ”
Li Weijian said: "Shanghai has only been open for a few decades, and Xiyi merchant ships are not allowed to arrive at the port, Korea is poor, and Japan is locked up, so it has been delayed." If the ban is lifted, I am afraid that it will surpass Guangzhou within ten years. ”
A Yangtze River Delta, a Pearl River Delta, it's really hard to say who is stronger than whom. However, the Yangtze River Delta is the largest silk and cotton cloth production area in Dashun at this time, and it stands to reason that it should have more potential than Guangzhou.
After thinking about it, I suddenly saw Wu Haining's monkey jumping out and running to the side of the road to discuss with the vendors how to sell the mulberries. Li Weijian's heart moved, and when Wu Haining returned, he followed the car window and instructed: "Haining, you rush overnight, first go to Suzhou to find out the bottom and see what is going on with the Suzhou Weaving Yamen." ”
"Huh?" Wu Haining, who had eaten a mouthful of black, was suddenly unhappy, and said, "Master, I just got off the boat, and the aisle is still floating at this time." ”
A silver ingot was thrown from the car, Wu Haining hurriedly reached out to catch it, and weighed it slightly, this is twenty taels. Wu Haining was suddenly overjoyed, and said happily: "But since the master has ordered, the little one has to rush to Suzhou even if he doesn't sleep tonight." Just look at it, the little one will look into this matter carefully. ”
Li Weijian also instructed the officials to prepare horses, and Wu Haining only needed to wait for a moment, and Wu Haining took the horse away.
Before dark, Li Weijian and his entourage entered Songjiang Mansion, and then found a post house to settle in.
On March 26, Li Weijian rushed to Suzhou City with only a team of forbidden troops.
At this time, Suzhou was prosperous, especially above Shanghai. Although the economic and trade center gradually shifted to Shanghai County due to the gradual replacement of the canal by sea, the heritage of Suzhou is still there, and industry and trade are particularly developed.
There are clouds in the time: the southeast is rich, and Gusu is the heaviest; Southeast water conservancy, Gusu is the most important; People from the southeast, Gusu is the most prosperous.
Youyun: The curiosities produced by the mountains and seas, the goods and shells of foreign countries, the four directions, the merchants of thousands of miles, the shoulders and shoulders.
A glance at the future, but see the city is dangerous, the party is senluo, carefully observe, you will see the fishing woods up and down, farming and weaving, businessmen Yuntun, the market is lined up, a good prosperous atmosphere, no wonder people are called the place of gathering!
Li Weijian paid attention to the measurement, and just passed by a shop, he saw that the forehead plaque was inscribed with the four big characters of 'Fusheng Silk Line', and the banner he was holding also read: 'Use gauze satin, silk satin, leno, cotton silk. Tribute satin into Beijing, self-made eight silk, gold and silver satin, do not miss the customer'.
There is also a large number of cloth lines, holding a banner to write 'Chongming cloth, Songjiang standard cloth, Qinglan shuttle cloth, Jingwu shuttle cloth, Songjiang extended buckle cloth, fixed weaving fine cloth'.
Later, dyeing shops, candle shops, lacquerware shops, wine shops, mat sellers, hardware sellers, gold and silver jewelry, clothes, shoes, hats, hand towels, calligraphy and painting brush stickers, lanterns, bambooware, kilns, porcelain, rice shops, pawnshops, restaurants, pharmacies, and so on.
Li Weijian even saw two tobacco sellers! Twenty-year-old smoking gun, I couldn't help but feel itchy, but in the end I still endured it.
From Anli Bridge into the city, Wu Haining led several forbidden soldiers to meet him.
"Sir."
Li Weijian said: "Come up and speak." ”
Wu Haining should get down, and the monkey seemed to jump into the carriage and get into the carriage in an instant. When he raised his eyes, he saw that his sister was pinching mulberries and feeding Li Weijian, Wu Haining blinked, and his face was extremely weird. Xiu Ying glanced at her and was suddenly annoyed: "What are you looking at?" Watch your skin! ”
Wu Haining shrank his neck in shock, and hurriedly said aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything...... You see, sir, I haven't provoked anyone. ”
The carriage was cramped, and Na Bitong had great eyesight, and hurriedly got out of the way. He also wore a light gauze hat and accompanied him beside the chariot and horses.
Wu Haining sat down with a grin, grabbed a handful of mulberries with his hand, threw them into his mouth and said vaguely: "Master, two days ago, the little one drove 200 miles overnight, and the horse lost a lot of weight, and he slept for an hour after finding the inn, and hurriedly got up and listened around. The hard work pays off, but I finally heard a little eyebrows. ”
Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, and Xiu Ying on the side scolded: "Do you want to show your merits? How much of the twenty taels of silver is left? ”
Wu Haining hurriedly said: "I didn't spend much, I just invited a few forbidden army brothers to eat two meals." ”
"Don't you eat at the Flower Bar?"
Wu Haining's eyes widened, and his heart was turbulent. Is this still my own sister? When did you become so smart?
Xiu Ying poked her hand to her ear and said, "Okay, sure enough, I'm going to drink flower wine." ”
"Oh, hey, I didn't do anything. Master, the little one has something important to report. ”
Li Weijian comforted the two sisters, and the two sisters and brothers stopped. Wu Haining didn't dare to take Qiao again, so he had to honestly tell the whole story.
Speaking of which, it is still the sin of the Supreme Creation. This Chen Liangzhong was originally born in the palace, and was later promoted by Taishang to Suzhou weaving, and he has been doing it for 30 years.
was too extravagant, repeatedly went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the internal money was insufficient, so Chen Liangzhong had to borrow it from all over again. If so, Suzhou weaving has lost more than 2 million taels of silver in the household.
When he ascended the throne today, this person immediately turned around and threw himself under the saint's door, and the saint had just ascended the throne, and the foundation was unstable, so he did not move this person for the time being.
After that, he saw that Chen Liangzhong was experienced in handling affairs and rarely made mistakes, so the saint was not replaced. After the first assistant Chen Hongmou cleared up the arrears, he immediately found out the deficit of Suzhou weaving, and immediately urged him to pay it back.
Where is Chen Liangzhong willing to pay back? What does it have to do with all the money? This person delayed for half a year, and when he saw that the prefect of Songjiang had been dismissed because of the arrears, Chen Liangzhong became anxious.
scraped together, scraped together a total of one million taels of silver, and hurriedly handed it back to the household department. But the money was borrowed from all over the weaving yards, and sooner or later it had to be repaid. Chen Liangzhong simply used the procrastination trick.
The owners of the weaving yards did not dare to offend Chen Liangzhong, and for a while, the money was not in hand, so they could only delay the wages of the weavers. In the first and second months of this road, the Suzhou Weaving Association allocated some silver, but did not want to not only not allocate the silver, but urged the weaving yards everywhere to pay tribute.
At this time, Suzhou's urban water industry was extremely prosperous, and most of the people in the city had no money to spare, and they could only survive by working as workers. It's okay to hold on for two months, but I heard that I have to go on, and I can't open the pot at home, where can I bear it? Because since the 20th, tens of thousands of weavers have been in trouble, surrounding the Suzhou Weaving Bureau and the prefect's yamen, urging the government to repay the money.
On the 23rd, some lawbreakers took advantage of the fire to rob, and the city of Suzhou was in chaos! The next day, the governor of Jiangsu sent a standard camp to suppress it, which temporarily calmed down the chaos.
Li Weijian said: "This doesn't look like it's just messed up." ”
Wu Haining said: "My lord doesn't know, the governor Yamen temporarily paid a month's salary, the weaver got the money, and saw that Chen Langzhong and the prefect were guarded together, and they had already dispersed. After a pause, he said: "Speaking of which, the prefect of Qian is also unlucky, he was going to move to Huzhou, but I heard that the new prefect arrived early yesterday morning, and there was a mess at this juncture." This time, I'm afraid that even if I keep Wusha, I will have to be demoted and retained. ”
Li Weijian asked, "Do you know who the new prefect is?" ”
Wu Haining suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "This is amazing, I heard that it is Zhuang Yougong, the champion of the first year of Zhenghe." ”
Li Weijian asked again: "There was chaos that day, is our machine okay?" ”
Wu Haining said happily: "The old man is too careful, but it is just two lumps of iron, not eating or drinking, and the chaotic people have not even looked at it, but now it is still alive in the weaving bureau." After a pause, he said: "Master, in my opinion, we might as well live in the Weaving Bureau directly, and the matter of Chen Liangzhong has ......."
"Don't be a fool, how can I go beyond the bounds, master?"
Wu Haining said aggrievedly: "The little one is also for the sake of the master, now the post house in Suzhou City is overcrowded, the master has gone, and it is estimated that there is still a yard in the house." ”
"Then don't live in the post house," Li Weijian suddenly heard the bell coming, and saw the pagoda in the distance, and said after a little thought: "Stop, find someone to listen, there is a temple near Taihu Lake outside the city to borrow." ”
Without waiting for Wu Haining to get out of the car, a forbidden army asked passers-by to inquire, and then replied: "My lord, there is a temple in the Xuan Tomb Mountain in the west of the city to borrow." ”
Li Weijian instructed: "Turn around and go out of the city, let's go to Xuantomb Mountain." ”
Wu Haining said: "My lord, you don't live in this good Suzhou City?" ”
Li Weijian said with a smile: "It's just messed up, the prefect has a new talent to take office, Chen Liangzhong is still trapped in the weaving bureau, even if I live in the city, I'm afraid it's useless." Go back and send someone to pull the machine out, and put it in the downtown demonstration, let's just have a Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to take the bait. ”
Wu Haining was extremely conscious this time, begged for a post, and hurriedly jumped out of the car while the car and horse turned around, and said in a throat: "Master first, the little one will go to the weaving bureau to pull the machine out." ”
Looking at his figure in the distance, Li Weijian deliberately said to Xiuying: "Although this kid is lazy, he can do things properly, and he is good at watching the style, and with my years of training, I can't guarantee his official status in the future." ”
Xiu Ying was immediately overjoyed: "The master can't regret it." ”
Li Weijian smiled: "Can I still coax you?" ”
Xiu Ying's heart suddenly bloomed. She felt that her appearance was not comparable to the other three, and now she couldn't even compare to the newcomer Bitong, so she naturally felt inferior in her heart. But now that the lord has promised that his own brother will have an official status in the future, the lord can't leave her regardless of whether he is aiming at his brother or his younger brother, right?
At the moment, Xiu Ying became more and more earnest, and it was not that Bitong got into the carriage again, but she was afraid that she would have to serve Li Weijian on the road.
The group turned out of Suzhou City and headed towards the west of the city. After an hour, I arrived at the foot of a mountain, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that the path was winding, and there was a temple in the mountain.
Some forbidden soldiers had already heard about it and said, "My lord, that is Panxiang Temple, I heard that it is a nunnery, and it also entertains male guests in Suri." This place is famous for its meals, so adults may wish to try it later. ”
"Okay."
The carriage and horses were placed at the foot of the mountain, and Li Weijian led the people to climb the mountain. After passing the mountain gate, in front of the temple, Li Weijian suddenly stopped, turned around and looked over the greenery, and looked in the direction of Taihu Lake.
I saw the sparkling waves on Taihu Lake, and when I looked into the distance, it was covered by clouds and fog, and I couldn't see clearly.
Li Weijian was not less interested, with a smile on his face, and said in the distance, which had been hazy in the distance: "There is a Xishan Island on this Taihu Lake, which is the ultimate goal of our trip." ”
Xiu Ying said: "Xishan Island? What did the lord do on that island? ”
"There are things I want on that island, and this is the only island in the whole of Jiangnan."
Jiangnan does not produce coal, but only this Xishan Island produces coal; In addition to this, the entire West Mountain is made of limestone, which happens to burn cement; And the island also produces pyrite, which seems to be able to make sulfuric acid, but Li Weijian only knows the name of the lead chamber method, and he doesn't know how to make sulfuric acid at all.
If sulfuric acid can be produced, it is said that the chemical industry has started far, and if it is said that it is near, it can be made in a few months. By that time, what Dzungaria with 300,000 armor, a town of soldiers and horses is enough to sweep it away.
After a long time of thinking about it, Li Weijian turned to the temple gate. Such a battle had already alarmed the nuns in the temple, and I saw an old nun leading a few bhikshunis to meet the door.
Seeing Li Weijian stepping forward, he hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, old Ni Huiming, I have seen this benefactor." ”
"It's good to say, the official heard that your temple is quiet, and the meal has a new idea, so he came here to borrow it for a while, and I hope that the master will make it convenient."
The old nun was not sad or happy: "It is convenient for others and for yourself, please donor." ”
"Mage, please." Li Weijian followed the old nun inside, looked around, and was not respectful in his heart, but said: "This official has the heart to respect the Buddha, but he can't get rid of his general affairs, so he has to ask the master to help pay respect." In this way, the official is willing to donate 10,000 catties of sesame oil to show his gratitude. ”
Now that the sesame oil is four and a half cents, 10,000 catties is only 450 taels, Li Weijian has a lot of money, so he is naturally willing to make himself more comfortable.
The old nun recited the Buddha's name, and there was still no sadness or joy on his face, but the female nuns who were traveling with him were already happy. There are only a dozen or so bhikshunis in Panxiang Temple, and the donations received every year are only a few hundred, and this 10,000 catties of sesame oil can last a whole year, so why don't you like it?
At present, there are middle-aged nuns leading Li Weijian into a secluded courtyard, and the dozen or so forbidden soldiers are placed in the front quiet room.
The courtyard is quiet and clean, and it looks extremely plain, so it is expected that someone should clean it every day. Xiuying and Bitong spread out the futon, Li Weijian stopped in the courtyard with his hand, and heard the sound of Zen sounds, and sometimes the sound of falling children came from next door.
After a while, another nun served fragrant tea and sandalwood, so the courtyard became more and more dusty. Don't say that it is Li Weijian and Xiu Ying, but Bitong is careful and speaks softly, for fear of disturbing the bhikshuni Qingxiu.
After a long time, Xiu Ying picked it up, looked for Li Weijian and said, "Master, I want to go and worship the Buddha." ”
"You still believe in Buddhism?"
Xiu Ying said: "You can't go wrong with more bye-bye." ”
Li Weijian was suddenly overjoyed, shook his hand and groped for a piece of silver barley, stuffed it into Xiuying's hand, and instructed: "I donated 10,000 catties of sesame oil in front of me, you just light the pillar of incense, don't donate it again." ”
Xiu Ying shook her head repeatedly: "I know, I know, even if the 10,000 catties of sesame oil go into the nun's stomach." I won't donate again, my heart is spiritual. ”
Xiu Ying's voice fell, and suddenly a greasy snort came from next door.
Xiu Ying suddenly stuck out her tongue, and only said inappropriately and offended the nun next door. immediately said goodbye to Li Weijian, and jumped towards the front Buddha hall.
Li Weijian stopped in the courtyard and looked at the next door. The bamboo fence covers it, and you can't see the situation inside. It's just that this place is a side courtyard, probably the place where the Buddha monks live, and the woman next door should be the Buddha monks?
Just thinking about it, I heard a woman say: "I had a good game of chess, but I was disturbed, why don't you and I seal the chessboard and play it again tomorrow?" ”
Another woman said, "Just listen to my sister, then I'll go home first." ”
"Hmm."
Suddenly, I saw a woman in the middle of the room, just a cloth coat, looking at the body and hair bun but cardamom years, as if I felt that there were people outside the bamboo fence to watch, this girl's family turned their heads to look, and showed a delicate and lovely face.
Melon seed face, Ruifeng eyes, a pair of willow eyebrows, Qiong nose and cherry lips, a red muslin skirt sprinkled with flowers, slightly surprised on his face, and then walked towards Li Weijian with a little blessing, and then hurriedly left.
Li Weijian smiled and bowed his head, and secretly praised in his heart, what a small jasper, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, is indeed a beautiful place for Zhong Lingyu.
The girl had just left, and a woman came out from the inside, looking at the fifteen or sixteen years old, with a wonderful crown on her head, wearing a moon-white plain silk jacket, covered with a long vest trimmed with green satin in paddy fields, tied to an autumn-colored silk silk, tied to a white silk skirt painted with light ink painting under the waist, holding a rosary in her hand, fluttering and dragging between walks, so free and easy!
Li Weijian looked at it and wondered, how could this girl of such color come out next door again and again?
At this moment, I saw the girl in red bypassing the bamboo fence on the other side, entering a small courtyard, looking at the woman and saying, "Sister Miaoyu, it seems to be raining at night." ”
Miaoyu said: "Remember to take some rain, and turn around to make tea." ”
"It's saved."
Li Weijian suddenly realized in his heart, it turned out that the woman who led the cultivation was Miaoyu, but it was really a coincidence.
While thinking about it, the girl in red had already entered the house, Miaoyu turned around, and caught a glimpse of Li Weijian who was out of his mind. She was disgusted at first, and when she saw Li Weijian's posture was very great, she restrained her expression, bowed slightly towards Li Weijian, turned around and went back to the room.
Li Weijian was suddenly happy, Miaoyu...... I didn't have the heart to recite the scriptures, and I didn't dare to fall into the red dust, so I hung like this, and in the end both ends were empty.
Such a girl is too lonely and conceited - although Sister Lin is also lonely, she is only lonely in her bones, not like this Miaoyu, she is lonely from the inside out, and she is disgusted when idlers don't put it in her eyes.
Li Weijian thought that he had nothing to say to him, so he turned his head and put it aside. turned to think about the girl in red, and after a while, I suddenly remembered, could the girl in red be Xing Xiuyan?
What does this mean? It's just too much of a coincidence.
Turning her head, Xiu Ying turned around the courtyard and saw Li Weijian pondering with his hands in his hands. Xiuying only said that the old man Li Weijian was thinking about the major affairs of the national economy and people's livelihood, and remembered that Li Weijian promised to raise his younger brother to be an official in Japan, because he didn't dare to disturb, he hurriedly ordered Bitong to serve carefully.
Towards the evening, the two nuns sent a meal, Li Weijian and Xiu Ying used it together, the two praised again and again, this Panxiang Temple's meal really deserved its name.
Whether it is vegetarian fish, vegetarian meat or vegetarian ham, it is not like dried tofu at all.
In the evening, Xiu Ying waited for Li Weijian to take a bath, the two went to bed, talked for a while, and in a blink of an eye, they turned the phoenix upside down and worked together to fly...... Don't say that Li Weijian is thrifty, but Xiuying has also been depressed for seven or eight days, seeing that she is in Suzhou and will go to Jinling in the near future, Xiuying naturally wants to cherish the situation with Li Weijian.
These two people are obsessed with the night, but they suffer Miaoyu next door. At first, it was just babbling like a dream, but later it was suddenly low and high-pitched, and from time to time it was hoarse.
Miaoyu is already in Buddhism, her heart is in the red dust, her fault is not forced by the situation, where is she willing to become a nun? She has reached such an age again, even "The Legend of the West Chamber" has secretly flipped through it, and she knows what the sound is.
Because Miaoyu was upset when she heard it, when she finally got her son, the sound next door stopped, but she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When the morning dawn was about to pass, the courtyard next door began to snort and drink again.
Miaoyu was extremely annoyed, got up and came out to look, and saw that the pair of dog men and women were fighting with knives! Where can Miaoyu endure it? Angrily, he walked away, and looked for Master Hui Ming and said, "Master, that new layman is really noisy, I don't know if I can get out." ”
Before Huiming Lao Ni could speak, a middle-aged female nun scolded: "What are you talking about? Master Li has an important official position, and he donated 10,000 catties of sesame oil before, where can you be guilty? ”
Miaoyu was stunned, her family often donated sesame oil, each time it was only a hundred catties, it would be good to donate one or two thousand a year, this dog official is so generous, it must be a corrupt official, so he was uneasy, donated sesame oil to ask the Buddha for protection.
Although she knew the world, she didn't want to be sophisticated, because she frowned and said: "In this case, let me live in the small courtyard behind the temple." ”
The middle-aged nun frowned and said: "That small courtyard is where Feng Shanxin stays, I can't say that Feng Shanxin will go up the mountain in the next few days, where can I vacate it for you to live?" If you are noisy, why don't you move to a quiet room and live with your sisters? ”
Miaoyu is an extremely clean person, where can she stand to live with others? Because he bit his lower lip and frowned.
At this time, the old nun opened his eyes and raised his head and said, "Idiot, have you moved the heart of mortals?" ”
Miaoyu was stunned, but she didn't dare to admit it, she just stood there at a loss.
……………………………………………………
Suzhou City.
Zhuang Yougong, the new prefect of Suzhou, sent the envoy out of the city according to the envoy gift, and when he returned in a sedan chair, he frowned and thought about it. The governor has already put down his words, and the province only cares about the monthly salary of Suzhou weavers, and the rest must be decided by the Weaving Bureau and the Suzhou government.
The weaving bureau has long been hollowed out by Chen Zhongliang, where is there any money to pay for this? There are only 10,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, which is simply a drop in the bucket, and it is completely insufficient.
Just as he was thinking about where to move the silver money to appease the weaver, the sedan chair suddenly stopped, and the attendant said on the side: "Master, there is a congestion ahead, why don't we go around?" ”
"Huh?" Zhuang Yougong opened the sedan curtain and looked forward, and saw that there was a crowd of people in front of the Nancang Bridge, and many people gathered in this direction.
Zhuang Yougong was shocked, for fear that there would be chaos again, so he hurriedly ordered: "Quick, come forward and see, what the hell is." ”
The entourage responded, and hurriedly squeezed over to watch.
