Chapter 2 The Snack Goods and the Thoughts of the Old Eunuchs
Before dawn, Fuzhou's No. 1 force Fuwei Dart Bureau was busy.
Lin Yuantu had already had a heart before he deceived the Sunflower Treasure Book, and when he returned to his hometown in Fuzhou to take care of family affairs, he secretly raised a woman in the old house. Within a few years, a pair of children were born.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuantu practiced swords from the palace, but he laid a huge family business.
Mrs. Lin Yuantu died early, and when she gave birth to Lin Zhongxiong, she died in childbirth. This was also the fundamental reason why Lin Yuantu made up his mind to cultivate the Sunflower Treasure Book.
For a man, in addition to mental torture, the self-palace is also extremely serious. It's not that men love women or anything like that, these have been cut off by Lin Yuantu after Mrs. Lin's death.
It's just that when the people from the palace reach their old age, when their qi and blood decay, the qi of the five elements of yin and yang in the body is capricious, which makes people extremely painful. The powerful eunuchs in the palace generally use palace secret medicines, including several precious medicinal materials, which is also a major reason why eunuchs are fond of money.
Although Lin Yuantu has a strong internal force to suppress, but with a crippled body and decayed qi and blood, how can he turn his essence into internal force?
In order to replenish their essence, the Lin family spared no expense. Invite the descendants of the royal chef family to cook the dishes, and the daily breakfast alone is extremely sumptuous, almost luxurious, in addition to a few plates of exquisite dim sum fruit preserves, as well as bird's nest, wheat, lotus seeds and other things boiled into health porridge.
After Lin Yuantu's family finished eating porridge and pastries. It is a jar of soup of various colors to nourish the internal organs.
Such a table of breakfast, just the purchase of ingredients, will cost hundreds of taels of silver, which is the cost of a family of five ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty at that time. Not to mention, it required more than a dozen cooks and servants at home to work for several hours.
After breakfast, the children of the Lin family went to do their own things. Lin Yuantu also began to recite Buddhist scriptures again, although this was something he had been repeating for more than forty years and was tired of for a while. But for an old man who is dying, this is the only thing he can do.
After an hour or two, just as Lin Yuantu was concentrating on studying the "Sutra of the Six Patriarchs", a housekeeper dressed up and ran into the study: "Old lady, there is a descendant outside the door." Zhou Budo, who claimed to be the eldest disciple of the Huashan faction, came to visit the second master. But the second master went to Sea Shark Island after breakfast, and the young master went to Jinhua Mansion with Wen Darthead. There is no one in the family to preside, so I can only come to ask the old lady to decide. ”
"Huashan faction, after waiting for so many years, the old man is going to die, and they are finally here...... Lin Yuantu smiled. "Go and bring him to the study. ”
The butler nodded in agreement and went out.
"Sunflower Treasure, Sunflower Collection. If your Huashan faction is still interested in him, then take it and go. It can be regarded as a return to the original owner, I wonder if this sunflower treasure book can be replaced with a set of superior swordsmanship?" Lin Yuantu muttered to himself.
In fact, Zhou Budo's concerns are completely superfluous, Lin Yuantu has once again picked up the Buddhist scriptures that he threw away after returning to the world thirty years ago, all these years of study, plus his so many years of wandering. Lin Yuantu is no longer what it used to be, and today's Lin Yuantu has a bit of a taste of enlightenment.
"Old lady, Zhou Shaoxia is here. The butler said respectfully.
"Go down. ”
"Yes. ”
After the housekeeper stepped back, Zhou Budo bowed: "After the end of school, Zhou Budo has seen Lin Lao's dart." ”
"The old man has washed his hands and no longer cares about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. The dart head is called, and the young man is not mentioning it. Lin Yuantu said with a smile.
"What should the juniors call the old dart?"
"It doesn't matter if it's Du Yuan, or if it's Mr. Lin's dart. It's all in the past. If you don't dislike it, call me a senior. Have a seat. Lin Yuantu smiled, pointed to a chair, and said.
"Thank you, seniors. This caught Zhou Budo off guard, and he was originally going to surprise Lin Yuantu after doing it. Now Lin Yuantu doesn't know why he doesn't want to do it, if he doesn't fight, how can he coerce? At this time, Zhou Budo was glad in his heart, fortunately, he did not rush to see Lin Yuantu as soon as he entered Fuzhou City, but quietly observed the Lin family for a while, otherwise he would not know this secret.
"You're here for the Sunflower Treasure? If so, after lunch at the old man's place, the old man will take you to get it. Lin Yuantu put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand and said.
"If the old-timers are willing to lend the sunflower book to the younger generation, the younger generation is naturally happy. However, the younger generation came this time, not for the sunflower book of Lin's predecessors. Instead, I came to negotiate the cooperation between Fuwei Dart Bureau and Huashan School, or the cooperation between Fuwei Dart Bureau and the younger generation. ”
"How do you cooperate?"
"Lin's predecessor's Fuwei dart game, business is not booming. But there is a concern. Zhou Budo stood up suddenly, and the bearing of a famous man came to his face,
"What's the concern?" Lin Yuantu felt a pang in his heart.
"The current Fuwei Dart Bureau is huge. From the north to the east of the mountain and the south to Guangdong, several political divisions along the coast have the semicolon of the Fuwei dart bureau, and the dart head and dart division in the dart board add up to thousands. However, there are not a few first-class masters among them, and even Mr. Lin's martial arts are only barely there. The Fuwei Dart Bureau can be maintained to this day, and Wuxiao covets it because there are very few masters in these political departments along the coast, and a few top masters disdain to eliminate their own names for the sake of mere wealth, and the most important thing is that they really rely on the invincible martial arts of Lin seniors. But Lin senior, you are already eighty years old, and the old man will be a hundred years old. What about this great Fuwei dart game?" Zhou Budo said eloquently, and his momentum rose higher and higher.
Lin Yuantu was silent, he knew his body. fought with Zeng Chun, the great eunuch under Zhu Yunwen, although he killed the other party in the end, he successfully opened the gate of Nanjing and welcomed King Yan into Beijing. However, it also fell to the root of the disease, and as I grew older over the years, it became more and more unbearable. Although it is said that it is a medicinal diet that nourishes the body with precious ingredients and medicines, it will only last for more than ten years at most, and it will reach its limit. It doesn't matter if you die, how many people in this world can live past seventy? But what about the children and grandchildren below? Although he relied on speculation to cling to Jinshang, he himself knew that he was mean, thoughtless, and ruthless. Not to mention that many senior officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee covet the business of this Fuwei Dart Bureau, but they are all court officials, and they can't be too ugly to eat, and they are also afraid of their old immortal and the little incense of Jinshang and Ma Sanbao. If their old bones were gone, they wouldn't be so polite. I really don't know why the Qingcheng faction has been in close contact with them in the past two years? I really think that I let go of Changqingzi in order to promote the future?
"Then in the opinion of the little brother, what should I do?" Lin Yuantu's tone softened a lot, and he was helpless to ask for others.
"The Huashan faction and the Fuwei Dart Bureau have joined forces to cooperate. In the future, the Fuwei Dart Bureau will dart on the territory of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and my Wuyue Sword Sect will ensure that your Fuwei Dart Bureau is fine. But the business of the Fuwei Dart Bureau at sea, the Huashan faction wants to cooperate with the Guibao. "Zhou Bu doubted that Zhizhu was in his hand, and he didn't say a secret that could destroy the nine clans of the Lin family.
"Business at sea? The old man doesn't understand what you're talking about. Lin Yuantu's face was silent, but his heart was like a rolling wave. "How did this kid from the Huashan faction know about this?"
"Senior Lin, don't cover it up. Isn't the head of the Guibao going to Sea Shark Island today to talk to Maeda Shu about Japanese business?" Zhou Budo stared straight into Lin Yuantu's eyes
"The kid is rude!" Lin Yuantu snorted coldly, and he didn't see any movement from him, and stood in front of Zhou Budo in the blink of an eye.
"Don't be angry with the seniors, the juniors are not here to meet the seniors, not for extortion. It's just that my Huashan faction is far away in the west, and there are few people in Guanzhong, and the land is barren. If my Huashan faction doesn't open a new road, I will now have this bit of land income. How can you let the disciples of Huashan practice martial arts quietly? Moreover, this time the juniors are not asking the seniors to set aside a piece for the Huashan faction, the juniors this bag of pearls. Zhou Budo said as he took out a bag from his arms.
"Stop!" Lin Yuantu stopped Zhou Budo's movements. snatched the bag from Zhou Budo's hand. I didn't look at it after opening it, and poured it directly into the pen wash. I heard only a clanging sound. Lin Yuantu looked at the pen wash, and it was about 20 pearls. From Lin Yuantu's point of view, this is a rare walk. If these twenty or so beads are worth anything, they can be exchanged for more than a dozen manors, or tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if they meet a wealthy family or something, they may be exchanged for more.
"Now the old man Lin believes in the sincerity of the next?"
"Okay! Every year, Huashan sends ten dart masters to share 10,000 taels of dividends. Lin Yuantu saw that the Huashan faction had no malicious intentions, and what he agreed to was extremely refreshing.
"No, what the Huashan faction wants is equal cooperation, which is not good for the Fuwei Dart Bureau. Zhou Budo said with a smile. "These beads Lin seniors collected first, and the kid just wanted to sell the tea leaves in Guanzhong overseas in the way of Fuwei Dart Bureau. Many of the juniors and disciples of Huashan have stayed in Huashan for too long and want to go overseas to see, so they also ask Lin seniors to arrange a few big boats for my Huashan disciples to travel on the sea. ”
Lin Yuantu groaned for a while: "You have a big heart." The old man wanted to promise you, but now the affairs of the dart bureau are mostly presided over by my son Lin Zhongxiong, and you are now staying in the cold house for a few days, and when he comes back, he is discussing. ”
"It's okay, that kid will stay in the house and see the demeanor of the first family in Fujian. Zhou Budo also knew that this matter was too big, and although Lin Yuantu was the founder of the dart game, he couldn't make a decision in one word. Anyway, just treat yourself as a tonic and enjoy the family life that you haven't seen for a few days.
Lin Yuantu said with a smile: "The Huashan Sect has such a thoughtful and bold chief disciple as you, and I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing. ”
