The maid pushed the flying money coupon over, and Xu Maoxiu reached out to take it and handed it to shopkeeper Wu.
"It's up to shopkeeper Lao to arrange it," he said.
Shopkeeper Wu has been running Zuifenglou for more than ten years, and he is not someone who has never seen money, but this is the first time that he has acquired so much money at once and can dispose of it at will.
"Can all of these be used?" he asked.
Xu Maoxiu nodded.
"Okay, but it's not enough. Come and tell me again." He said.
Shopkeeper Wu smiled and took the money solemnly.
"Miss Banqin, please take me to the city with you," he said.
The maid nodded and said yes.
"My wife has already told the master of the Chen family, and he has promised to provide some peace and quiet at the right time," she said.
Shopkeeper Wu nodded.
"I think this method is worth a try. After all, it is no longer what it used to be. Puxiu Temple is not the same Puxiu Temple that pounced on money when it saw money. It is no wonder that people worship Suzhai every year. They want to
I want to be like the big barrel merchants back then, but I'm afraid it won't work, but I hope my wife and my boss have some confidence." He added.
"There's no need to worry, shopkeeper. Madam said what we want is not like the vat merchants." The maid smiled.
Shopkeeper Wu and Xu Maoxiu were stunned for a moment.
"What should we do?" the shopkeeper asked.
"My lady said, we worship with all our hearts. As long as the Buddha sees our sincerity, that will be enough." The maid smiled.
What? Is this really an offering?
"That's right, be careful." Shopkeeper Wu immediately nodded again and looked into the yard.
Li Dashao seemed to have been standing in front of several cases and never left. He looked at the knife in his hand intently, trying to find the most suitable one for each part.
The Buddha can see it, and so can the people. Nothing is difficult in this world except for those who are willing.
The busyness in Puxiu Temple started half a month ago, but it has become a routine and everything is in order. In addition, there are many monks in the temple, so it is busy and not chaotic.
"Another big head?" asked a fat monk, putting down the account book in his hand.
"It's five thousand guan." Another monk said, handing over the flying money coupon.
The fat monk took it and glanced at it casually.
"There are not many fools willing to spend so much money to play now, so let's give him an outside position." He said, smiling.
The outer position is the one most visible to the public and is also the best.
But for today’s people, so what if they see it? It’s just a vegetarian meal. It’s better to spread money to the people on the spot to become more famous.
"No, this family says, you want the innermost one." The monk said hurriedly.
The fat monk was stunned.
"Interesting." He smiled, shaking the money in his hand.
"People say that one should worship the Buddha wholeheartedly," the monk added.
The fat monk laughed.
"Okay, that's better. If you are so determined, the Buddha will definitely help him." He said, tearing off a piece of paper, "Give him the seat in front of the palace."
The front of the temple is the most eye-catching place in the whole place, but it is not a good place for these people who want to become famous by making offerings, because at that time only Zen Master Minghai was the only focus, and everyone's attention was not on vegetarian food, but on Zen tea
.
However, if some people are willing to spend money to buy this idiot, they can't stand in their way. I am merciful.
When the morning light first appeared the next day, the Chen family's carriage had already arrived outside Cheng Jiaoniang's door.
"My sister will go with the sisters at home first, and I will pick up my wife."
Chen Danniang happily ran into the courtyard and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang who had already walked out.
Cheng Jiaoniang reached out to take her hand.
"So early?" she said.
"It's getting late, there are a lot of people waiting, and we have to wait to get in. We can still play in the temple first," Chen Danniang said.
Rather than waiting for the dozens of Zen tea ceremonies in the palace, she preferred to enjoy the moment of playing outside the palace.
"Then let's play outside." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Chen Danniang stared with joy.
"Really?" she asked, "Didn't the lady specifically want to see Zen Tea?"
"It's enough for me to come here out of excitement." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Chen Danniang seemed to understand, but she didn't ask any more questions, and walked happily with Cheng Jiaoniang.
"What do you mean, madam?"
Brother Jin behind him asked in a low voice.
"In ancient times, Wang Huizhi suddenly became interested in visiting a friend. He trekked away all night. When he arrived at his friend's house, he didn't want to see him anymore, so he turned around and went back." The maidservant said in a low voice, "When people asked why, Wang Huizhi said that he was just taking advantage of his excitement.
Come, so I came back after being exhausted."
Brother Jin and Banqin looked at each other.
"Why bother?" they said.
The maid pursed her lips and smiled.
"There's no need, it's just like that." She said, "But Brother Jin probably got his wish."
I heard that there are more than a dozen rituals involved in Zen tea. The lady will definitely have to sit for a long time after entering. As a servant, although he does not have to go in to accompany her, he can't wander around while guarding the door. For a young man, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
Unbearable.
Brother Jin chuckled.
In addition to the Chen family's carriage, the maid also rented one specially for the three of them to ride.
Everyone sat down and the carriage headed towards Puxiu Temple in the city.
The street in front of Puxiu Temple, which was usually bustling with people every day, became quiet at this time.
The road was newly paved on the loess, and people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division stood on the roadside. Only after the nobles who had been allowed to enter the hall to participate in the Zen tea ceremony entered, could it be the turn of ordinary people to enter.
The reason why soldiers and horses were dispatched to maintain order was because people from the royal family would also be present.
Those who were blocked on the street had been waiting for a commotion among the people since midnight.
"Coming, coming."
These words caused everyone to stand on tiptoe and look around.
The emperor was in poor health and rarely attended such occasions. There were only two princes, and they were not allowed to leave the palace when they were young. In the past, only two princes in Beijing came and went.
But today's ceremonial guard was obviously not of the correct standard. Looking at Puxiu Temple over there, the middle gate, which was opened only for the Emperor, had been unfolded.
"It's the eldest prince!"
Although the eldest prince is not the emperor, he is obviously here to replace the emperor, so Puxiu Temple treats him with great courtesy.
The news quickly spread, and the onlookers became more and more lively, so much so that the soldiers from the Military and Horse Division used whips several times to drive them away before they could get it under control.
The guard of honor passed quickly, and next came the wealthy families from Beijing or from other places. The common people were less interested and waited for the entry of these people with some impatience.
In the palace, Prince Jin'an was sitting in the palace, throwing the books in his hands up and down with a hint of boredom.
"Your Highness, are you really not going?" the chamberlain asked.
"If you don't go, that old monk will suffocate you with his pretense. It's better to find Ansheng who can make tea for me alone afterward." Prince Jin'an said.
"It's lively, but His Highness is boring alone." The chamberlain sighed, and a smile appeared on his lips as he thought of something, "I still remember that the first night His Highness stayed in the palace, he didn't let go of my sleeves all night.
, the old slave had no choice but to wet his pants..."
The prince of Jin'an County laughed loudly, and the laughter grew louder and louder. He dropped the book and patted his legs.
The chamberlain also laughed, and then turned his head and wiped the corners of his eyes as if unintentionally.
"When the eldest prince is there, Your Highness doesn't have to rely on you. You can feel free to go and walk around as you like." He further advised, "Even if you go to eat a bowl of some noodles from Puxiu Temple, that's fine at any other time, but today
, I really don’t want to see His Highness alone.”
The prince of Jin'an County smiled and said nothing.
"One more thing, it's not like His Highness has always been in trouble. There must be a lot of people going this time, and people from the Chen family will definitely go. If the woman is a member of the Chen family, she will probably go. If she is a guest of the Chen family, then even more
I must go." The chamberlain continued.
Before he finished speaking, Prince Jin'an stood up.
"That's true." He smiled and stretched his arms, "Come here, change your clothes." (To be continued)
