Taiping Inn

The Qian family affairs were in a hurry, and Shen Yuanzhou came and went in a hurry, carrying his own "iron-mouthed" banner and didn't know where to go.

Li Xuandu's original intention was to say goodbye, but he was kept by Qian Qingbai, the eldest elder of the Qian family, and it was difficult to refuse his affection, so he could only stay for a few more days.

Qian Qingbai, who lived in seclusion on weekdays, made an exception for Li Xuandu, and personally led him to visit the famous places in Jinling, and Qian Jin'er was accompanied. This treatment was just like this.

Because it was a tour, we naturally couldn't come and go in a hurry. We walked slowly along the way. The three of us didn't mention too much about the world, we just chatted.

Qian Qingbai asked about what Li Xuandu had seen and heard since he returned to the world. Li Xuandu talked about many interesting things, especially his experience from Huainan Mansion to Longmen Mansion. In Li Xuandu's past experience in the world, This journey that lasted for several months was one of the few bright colors. Li Xuandu talked about the little girl he regarded as his sister. Now he has gone to the Xuannv Sect to learn from her master.

When it comes to Xuannv Sect, Qian Qingbai, who has been in the age of being a slaughter, couldn't help but feel emotion. He talked about his youth for the first time. He met a fairy from Xuannv Sect with Shen Yuanzhou, and asked Qian Jiner, who was accompanying him. His eyes widened, but he didn't expect that his cunning ancestors once walked around the world with a sword in green.

Among the three, except for Li Xuan, they were all young, Qian Qingbai wanted to hold his own identity and was not willing to be disrespectful to the elderly. Qian Jin'er was also a woman, so it was naturally difficult to go to the fireworks place. So they headed to the Three Sects and Unconsciously, the group came to the most famous Dabaoen Temple in Jinling Prefecture.

When Qin Xiang first arrived at Jinling Mansion, he lived here. Speaking of Dabao'en Temple, it is one of the three major Buddhist temples in Jinling Prefecture. There is a glazed pagoda, which is nearly a hundred feet high. It is built with glazed glass and is called the world's number one pagoda.

Qian Qingbai said slowly, "There are 480 temples in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are so many towers and rain. This is the grand scene of the Southern Dynasty that year. Now there are more than 6,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the Dabaoen Temple, and there are Buddhist bones in the glazed pagoda. Therefore, the various schools here There are many monks gathered, and in addition to this, there are many scholars who like to sit here and discuss the truth. If I remember correctly, there is a sitting discussion on the unity of knowledge and action in Dabaoen Temple today. "

Dabaoen Temple covers a vast area. If you hike all over the temple, it will take about half a day. The river channel in the temple is called Xiangshui River, which runs across the north and south. With this river as the boundary, the Dabaoen Temple is divided into two halves. At this time, many famous scholars from Jiangnan were in the Hou Temple.

It is precisely because of this that the Hou Temple is not an idle person who can enter, and there are several monks in the temple to check. However, after Qian Jiner came forward, it was naturally unobstructed. Although the Qian family was a businessman, it was actually no different from the noble family in the Jiangnan area. Even the Governor of Jiangnan had to bow his head in front of the Qian family, so naturally no one dared to turn it off. The Qian family regarded it as an ordinary businessman and thus despised it.

At this time, there was still some time before the discussion began. Under the guidance of a beautiful little monk, the three of them came to an elegant meditation room. Although the monk had shaved three thousand worries, his lips were red, his teeth were white, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes were still alive. If you are pregnant, you must be a handsome young man in the turbid world. Moreover, he had a good conversation, and he was obviously well-read in poetry and books. It was no wonder that many princesses in the previous dynasty particularly favored monks.

This monk obviously recognized the famous Qian Jiner, but what surprised him was that among these three people, everyone was vaguely ranked last. Now the entire Jinling Mansion knew that the Qian family was all about the big and small matters. Qian everyone came forward to preside over the leadership. It is not that the head of the family is better than the head of the family and can be more respectful than Qian everyone. Could it be that the ancestor of the Qian family who has always been half a step away from the Qian family's ancestral home for many years? But who is this young man who looks so handsome? The monks have been welcoming and seeing each other in the temple for many years, and have some impression of the noble princes in Jiangzhou. He is sure that he has never seen this person before. Could it be that the foreign Qianglong of Jiangjiang?

The monk carefully cooked tea for the three of them, and was very polite to Li Xuan.

Qian Qingbai sniffed the fragrance of tea and smiled lightly, "Don't bother this little monk."

Qian Jin'er responded and took the teapot from the monk. The monk became more and more certain and guessed in his heart that the majestic old man in front of him was the ancestor of the Qian family. He did not dare to act rashly. After putting his hands together, he slowly withdrew from the meditation room.

As a woman carefully trained by the Qian family, Qian Jiner once had a wide range of friends among many noble ladies in the imperial capital. Naturally, she was very proficient in tea art and skillful in techniques.

After all, Li Xuandu is a man from the world. Although he has a little bit of knowledge about these things, he is not proficient. Seeing Qian Jin'er filling her with a cup of tea, he could only thank her and then take it. He failed to taste too many good things. It means bad, and it is suspected that the cow chews the peony.

However, the Qian family has an advantage. They will never judge people by their appearance because of such trivial matters. There is no sourness and decay of those scholarly families. Whether it is Qian Qingbai or Qian Jin'er, they don't care. Qian Qingbai said, "Purple Mansion." How about respecting the teacher when you leave the master's sect?”

Li Xuandu put down the teacup in his hand and said carefully: "Since the second year of Tianbao, the third senior brother has done all the big and small matters in the sect. The family teacher is careless and careless. He is looking for immortals and seeking the Tao, and everything is fine."

Qian Qingbai nodded and said, "When I was walking in the world, respecting my teacher was already famous. Looking back now, it really seems like yesterday."

Li Xuandu said, "It's a pity. When my family master was scattered, only the eldest and second brothers were with me. When I was taken to the school, my family master rarely walked around the world."

Qian Qingbai sighed lightly, "It's a pity that Mr. Situ died young. If he were still alive, today's world would probably have a different situation."

Li Xuandu also sighed.

He had never seen that senior brother, but he had heard of the senior brother's deeds from the second senior brother. The person who could make the second senior brother admire him was very much. He could think of his unparalleled style back then.

Li Xuan was about to speak, but Qian Qingbai said, "Jin'er, please accompany Zifu to walk around this temple, I won't be able to go there. If you don't know what you are after being recognized by those old guys, you will be After some polite greetings, I am old and cannot withstand this. I hope Zifu will forgive me."

Li Xuandu smiled and shook his head.

Qian Jin'er respectfully agreed to the promise.

After Qian Jin'er and Li Xuan both left the Zen Room, Qian Qingbai sat alone. Not long after, an old monk walked into the Zen Room and smiled and said, "Donor Qian, although you and I have been together in Jinling City for many years, they are close to each other, but It's been more than ten years since we met."

Qian Qingbai said calmly: "After aging, people like quietness but not movement."

The old monk asked, "Who was that young man just now? I'm afraid it's unusual for him to fish you, a thousand-year-old turtle, out of the deep pool."

He was called "old turtle", but Qian Qingbai was not angry at all and said, "It can be regarded as the benefactor of the Qian family. He has made a lot of efforts in this incident."

The old monk knew it, "I already know who he is."

Qian Qingbai smiled lightly and said, "You old monk, are my confidant. The reason why I didn't want to see you in the past was because you were too involved with Qin Xiang and others. In order to protect yourself, I had to go with you. Draw a clear line. Now that the court dares to take action against my Qian family, it is no wonder that my Qian family is unreasonable."

The old monk sighed and said, "Our Great Wei court owns the 19 states in the world. If the court uses it to love others and make the people at the same time, officials at all levels will be honest and self-reliant and open the road of trade in silk, porcelain and tea, only These three items can make the world rich, so why does the national treasury deficit today?”

Qian Qingbai sneered: "The court is squandering and greed is rampant, and has been suffering from natural disasters for years, which makes the treasury deficit. If the treasury is deficient, it will plunder it to the people, so taxes are plundered year by year; if the civil war is about to change, it will plunder it to the business. My money As the richest family in Jiangnan, the family is full of trees and attracts wind. The disaster today is expected. However, can my wealth from the Qian family really fill the gap in the treasury? I don’t think so."

The old monk sighed, "It is best for the donor of money to figure this out. Now the court has reached a point where it has to change. If Zhang Xiang was still there and the reform of the old man, there would not be such an out of control today."

Qian Qingbai closed his eyes and whispered, "I'll ask the old monk to give me a word to Governor Qin. If there is any change in the world, I'm willing to help him."
