There is sweet water lane in the east of Daxiangguo Temple, there are many Taoist temples in the alley, it is not that a group of Buddha and Buddha Tao flow together, but all these Buddhist temples and Taoist temples and the like, always have to be built in the downtown area in order to attract more good men and women to patronize, the more prosperous the incense, in order to show the effect.

Bianliang City is prosperous in business, and Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are inevitably vulgar. The monthly temple fair of Xiangguo Temple is indeed the most prosperous gathering in Bianliang City, but other Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are not to be outdone.

For example, in the South Nunnery of Xiangguo Temple, there are many nuns who do knitting and embroidery goods for sale, which are extremely famous in the city, and many dignitaries and nobles come here to purchase.

There is also the Peach Blossom Cave in front of Jingdeku, a brothel connected to a brothel. Although the monks do not make a living, these houses are owned by the temple.

Compared with Buddhist temples, Taoist temples are more noble. However, there are also some female monks who are half-closed, and there are many famous prostitutes in the Golan in Bianliang City, who have accumulated enough money to redeem themselves, and if there is no good person to entrust, most of them choose to be a female Taoist priest who cultivates. For such female Taoist priests, the Taoist temple is also welcoming and does not resist. There is probably a tradition in this regard, and the female Taoist Yu Xuanji in the late Tang Dynasty is one of the best.

Zhao Ji wore a moon-white robe, walking in this alley where the mundane and the dust were perfectly integrated, and his mood was also a little relaxed. He didn't come here to prostitute **, but to go to the Taiping Temple at the end of the street. This Taiping Temple is also very famous in Bianliang City, and the side business is also extremely elegant, and it is one of the best rice paper in Bianliang City. It is said that the Taoist priest in this view has been personally studied by the Southern Tang Dynasty to inherit the papermaking skills, and the rice paper made is like an egg membrane, clean as jade, thin and smooth, it is a treasure in the paper, and it is even sought after and loved by the literati and scholars of Bianliang City, and they often have to prepare some at home, and it is also a good gift between colleagues and relatives and friends.

As soon as Zhao Ji walked into the temple, a Taoist who knew the guest greeted him, and he bowed his hand from afar: "The prince has not been to Xiaoguan for some time. ”

In the past, Zhao Ji, calligraphy and painting, naturally had to patronize this Taiping Temple from time to time, but for more than a year, he left this Taoist Temple behind. Liang Shicheng came forward to greet and entertain with that person, and Zhao Ji only had his hands behind his back, and was led into the main hall to serve fragrant tea and tea carefully.

The Taoist people have always known that Zhao Ji is a very generous customer, so they are all enthusiastic to come forward to sell, Liang Shicheng got Zhao Ji's instructions, and did not say more greetings with these people, and said directly: "You have the best cloud pattern Qingdan here, directly carry a hundred knives out." My lord has recently copied the Taoist scriptures, and he has to use a lot of paper, so let's take these first, if it's not enough, I'll take it again. ”

Hearing this, the Taoist priests in the view couldn't help but gasp, big business, really big business! The best moire Qingdan rice paper in their view is the most loved by customers, and at the same time the price is extremely expensive, a knife costs fifty yuan, and ordinary guests even if they are noble court scholars, they will buy at most three or five knives every time they come. As for some ordinary readers, they can't even afford to use it. However, this prince opened his mouth and asked for a hundred knives, and it was not enough to take it again! This is a full 5,000 yuan!

At the same time, the Taoist priests couldn't help but be embarrassed, because they really couldn't get so much spot. Although the price of moire Qingdan is expensive, the manufacturing process is also very cumbersome, and the output of twenty or thirty knives per month in the Taoist temple cannot meet the huge demand of Bianliang City, so it will not be sold outside at all. Of course, there is always a stock in the view for a distinguished guest like Zhao Ji who suddenly visits, but it is only thirty or fifty dollars at most, but it is far from enough to meet Zhao Ji's needs.

Facing Zhao Ji, the Taoist priests naturally did not dare to report the falsehood, and after counting the warehouse, they came back and said: "Now there are only forty-seven knives of inventory in the view, which is really not enough for one hundred knives." ”

"What kind of business are you doing, and you don't even have enough goods. How many are in stock, and let's pack them all up first. ”

Hearing Liang Shicheng's complaints, the Taoist priests smiled bitterly, no matter how good the hundred-year-old ginseng is, the pharmacy can't carry a load of three or five hundred catties! If you change the side, don't say dozens of dollars, three or five dollars are difficult to buy!

Although they slandered in their hearts, they did not dare to slack off, and ordered people to stack the goods and load them into trucks to be sent to Duanwang's mansion. At the same time, I also prayed in my heart that in the last two or three months, there would never be any more such guests.

When the goods were being loaded here, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded outside: "Where is Master Li Guan? I have a big business here to light you up, Cai is about to travel far away, and I want to visit my colleagues and old friends in the place where I live along the way, and I have come to you to bring some of the best moire Qingdan." You don't tell me that I don't have stock, and others don't know how you do business, but I understand it very well. ”

After hearing this laughter, the viewer's face suddenly became bitter, in the past, he always hoped for a big business to come, but now this business really came to the door, but he couldn't afford it.

Without spinning his heels, a white-faced middle-aged man with a clear face and a long beard walked into the hall, and when he saw Zhao Ji sitting in the hall, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and turned his hand and said: "It turns out that Duan Wang Ye is here, it's really rude." ”

Zhao Ji also stood up to greet Cai Jing, this Cai Jing has an elegant and chic temperament, and his smile is like a spring breeze, but it is completely different from the scheming and cunning image of the film and television dramas watched by later generations. He smiled and saluted Cai Jing in return: "I was going out to take a stroll today, and I didn't want to see Mr. Cai here, which is really a coincidence." ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Liang Shicheng couldn't help but rub his eyes a little sour, for this coincidence, he stared at it with wide eyes and never slept to calculate that Cai Jing would come to Taiping Temple today, but these things naturally would not be told to demolish the prince's platform.

Although Zhao Ji's status is noble, Cai Jing does not need to be honest and afraid in the face of him, and after a few simple greetings, he looked at the Taoist who looked a little embarrassed next to him. Before he could speak, the viewer had already said astringently: "Master Cai, it's really unfortunate that you came today, and the cloud pattern Qingdan in the view today is really half gone." ”

While speaking, the viewer sighed, and secretly said that if he had known that Master Cai would come to the door today, he would not be able to honestly sell all the goods to Duan Wang Ye no matter what. Duan Wang Ye is expensive, but this Bachelor Cai is also extraordinary, he was in charge of the entire Kaifeng Mansion last year, and now although he has been promoted, his connections and influence have always remained. They are living in the city, and the most important thing is to get through the relationships between these officials.

After Cai Jing heard this, his face couldn't help but darken, and the master of the temple said cautiously: "If the bachelor can wait for a class, the new cloud pattern Qingdan that will be released next month will definitely be sent to the bachelor's mansion first." ”

In front of Zhao Ji, Cai Jing was not very popular, but his mood was not very good. He received the holy decree and will leave Beijing in 10 days, so how can he have time to wait until next month! This time he left Beijing, he was just taking this opportunity to visit his old friends along the way, and several of his friends were well-known as Danqing, and even though he was an official abroad, he never forgot the rice paper of this Taiping Temple, so he wanted to bring some with him as gifts, but he did not want to encounter this situation. If there is a different person next to him, he will always find a way to even it out, but it is not easy to talk about Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji saw that Cai Jing's face was a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "Naturally, it's not good to embarrass the bachelor, so I took out half of my goods and gave it to the bachelor. ”

Hearing this, Cai Jing didn't have much joy on his face. Now that he has entered the center, he must be cautious in everything he says and does, especially in such a sensitive period as the present, he has to avoid seeing Zhao Ji on the street, and any kind of communication is a reason worth biting in the eyes of those who care.

But if you want to refuse Zhao Ji's kindness, it seems a little inappropriate. Cai Jing strives to do his best in his work, and he really needs these rice papers as gifts to visit his old friends, and after a moment of silence, he arched his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Wang." These payments will be sent to the prince's mansion later. ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "I'm not a businessman who buys and sells goods, since Master Cai needs it, I will take it." ”

Cai Jing pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Wenmo **, it is really difficult to tolerate the smell of copper. In this way, Master Li Guan, you remember, the cloud pattern Qingdan made in the next month will be sent directly to the prince's mansion, and then you will go to my mansion to meet the money. ”

Hearing Cai Jing's arrangement, Zhao Ji sighed in his heart, and secretly said that this person really did not leak anything, and he tried not to have anything to do with himself in this situation. However, he didn't want Cai Jing to get out so easily, and after hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome, I bought these papers just to copy the scriptures." Mr. Cai, your literary and ink attainments were unrivaled at that time, and I have always admired them in my heart. This time, I have a reluctant request, if Master Cai can record a volume of the South China Sutra and give it to Xiao Wang, it is better than a thousand gold!"

Cai Jing didn't want Zhao Ji to be like a dog's skin plaster, and it was difficult to get rid of it for a while, so he only said apologetically after hearing this: "If the prince of Riduan had this request earlier, the lower officials would not dare to refuse." It's just that in recent years, he has been appreciated by the officials and given important responsibilities, and Tai has put half of his mind on political affairs and dare not live up to the emperor's grace. As for the love of pen and ink, it is much lighter. ”

These words are already half shirking and half exhorting. Zhao Ji didn't say much after hearing this, and said goodbye to Cai Jing with a smile. After leaving the Taoist temple, Liang Shicheng leaned in Zhao Ji's ear and whispered: "Lord Wang, I have already stuffed the note into the rice paper of Master Cai according to your instructions. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, he had long expected that Cai Jing might not be obediently used by him, so he prepared a move. In this way, as long as Cai Jing doesn't want to offend him to death, he must always carefully consider his request.
