Chapter Four Hundred and Another: Add a thousand taels!
Xu Qing can understand Xiao Ye's mood very well.
They all say no pain, no gain.
But here in Xiaoye there is only hard work but no harvest.
It's like an old farmer who has worked hard for so long, only to plant hundreds of millions of seeds and now none of them have grown.
It would be strange if I didn't feel angry at all.
And Xiao Ye, who was eager to beat his son, was even more angry.
Xiao Ye never forgets his original intention, no matter what beauty or love, none of these can stop Xiao Ye's desire to beat his son.
The two of them entered the Hibiscus Garden.
There are rows of individual tables in the small square, with a glass utensil placed on each table.
Several of these exquisite Buddhist artifacts had already been surrounded by many monks.
The abbot of Jinhua Temple and the abbot of Faguang Temple looked at a glass Bodhisattva statue at the same time. It was crystal clear and had a solemn appearance. They were obviously moved.
If their temple invites this glazed Bodhisattva statue back to the temple as a temple treasure, then the number of believers in their temple and the number of devotees who come to offer incense and donate money for incense oil will definitely increase in large numbers.
There are so many temples, so of course you have to choose the most magnificent one to worship!
It's just that... underneath this Buddha statue it is clearly written: Lu Qian Si Bai Liang Silver.
This is too expensive!
Moreover, in a pure place of Buddhism, if you ask them to take back their Buddhist glazed Bodhisattva statue, how can you buy it back with worldly things like gold and silver?
…
Xu Qing and Xiao Ye walked over together. The abbot of Jinhua Temple looked at the Buddha statue and then at Xiao Ye who was walking towards him. He walked up to Xiao Ye and shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, His Royal Highness."
Xiao Ye looked at the host of Jinguang Temple and said, "It turns out to be Master Minghua."
Xu Qing asked curiously: "Brother Xiao knows this master?"
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "This month, I often accompanied Wan'er to several temples in the capital to beg for a child."
Xu Qing: "..."
Xiao Ye really does everything for his son!
It is used to pray to God and worship Buddha.
The host Minghua clasped his hands and said: "Your Highness, this statue of Glazed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is the most precious treasure of our Buddhist sect. Can His Majesty, Your Majesty, please advise Jinhua Temple to invite Glazed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva back to Jinhua Temple to receive incense and offer it to Your Majesty?"
Accumulating a blessing will also add another blessing to His Royal Highness."
Xu Qing on the side suddenly widened his eyes when he heard what host Minghua said. This old monk is so shameless!
More shameless than him!
Why don't you ask me to bargain for the price? This old monk actually wants to get a glazed Guanyin statue for free?!
Xiao Ye looked at the host Minghua and asked, "Can good fortune help me have a son early?"
Minghua presided over the ceremony with his hands clasped together and said, "Amitabha Buddha has a sincere heart. Your Highness, please pay homage to the Buddha and offer incense. One day, you will be able to fulfill your wish and have a precious son soon."
Xiao Ye: "In other words, worshiping Buddha and giving money for incense may not be useful?"
Host Minghua could not answer this sentence, so he had to put his hands together: "Amitabha, you are so good, and your heart is sincere and spiritual."
Hearing the words of Ming Hua, the veins on Xiao Ye's forehead trembled obviously. He looked at the guards guarding the Liuli Guanyin statue and said in a deep voice: "Add one thousand taels to the price of this Liuli Guanyin statue.
, don’t sell it for a penny less!”
When Master Minghua heard this, he immediately said: "Your Highness, the most precious treasure of Buddhism, how can it be measured by these yellow and white things? This is a great disrespect to the Bodhisattva, and it is also increasing His Highness's karma and damaging His blessings.
I hope Your Highness will think twice!"
When Xiao Ye heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, looked at the guard on the side, his face suddenly changed, and he said fiercely: "I'm adding a thousand taels!"
Having said that, Xiao Ye ignored the abbot of Jinhua Temple and walked forward without looking back.
Host Minghua felt dizzy when he heard this sentence...add one thousand taels...
But the matter has come to this, and there is no other choice. Host Minghua can only put his hands together: "Amitabha, it's a sin, it's a sin..."
At the same time, Master Minghua was clearly aware that the dagger-like eyes of several abbots from other temples were falling on him, as if they wanted to scratch him alive.
The other hosts are all resentful of host Minghua. Why are you talking so much when you say you have nothing to do?
It's better now, it's increased by another thousand taels...
But if it goes up, it will go up again. You should buy it when you need it... ahem, you should buy it when you need it!
At this moment, Xu Qing saw Zhou's deputy envoy holding a glass necklace in his hand and placing it in an exquisite agarwood box as if it were a treasure.
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Deputy Ambassador Yang is so happy that he found the one he likes so quickly."
The deputy envoy of the Zhou Kingdom also bowed his hand and said in a neutral tone: "It turns out to be the uncle of Anding County. It's not something he likes. It's just that I, the Empress of Zhou Dynasty, often worship Buddha on weekdays. I bought it in order to return home."
Then I will give it to the empress."
Xu Qing laughed when he heard this and said: "Deputy Envoy Yang is interested, don't worry, there are many Buddhist items in today's Liuli Exhibition, Deputy Envoy can just get it and present them together when the time comes. The Queen of your country will definitely be very happy."
happy."
Deputy envoy Zhou Guo said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Uncle Anding County, for reminding me."
After that, he turned around and left.
The deputy envoy of Zhou State did not have a good impression of this Anding county uncle who had a good relationship with Zhao State and also sabotaged his own plans. On the contrary, he was extremely disgusted!
If it weren't for this Anding County uncle, I would be on his way back to China now!
Damn Anding County Count!
Hey, the Liuli Ruyi over there seems to be pretty good-looking too. The queen sister must also like it, so hurry up and buy it!
I really don’t know where Chu State got such exquisite colored glaze.
…
Anding Bofu
The male and female owners of the family have all gone to Furong Garden to visit the Glaze Exhibition, leaving Xuan'er, the little maid, alone in the family.
The little maid, who had nothing to do, cleaned the courtyard of the inner house, wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and licked her tongue involuntarily.
Both my uncle and my lady are not here today, so all the ice today belongs to her!
The grapes in the back garden seem to be ripe soon. My uncle even said that he would make grape smoothie for her when the grapes are ripe!
Is it ice-cool, sour-sweet grapes that taste delicious?
My uncle is really a very good person. No matter how good the young lady is, my craftsmanship is as perfect as my appearance!
Just when Xuan'er was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard someone walking in. The little maid hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, and then saw Su Jiyuan, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, walking in.
Xuan'er walked up to Su Jiyuan and said, "Sir, are you back? Are you looking for my uncle and my lady? My uncle and my lady are not at home, they went to the Liuli Exhibition."
Su Jiyuan nodded and said, "I know they went to the Liuli Exhibition. Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"
Xuan'er said: "There is mung bean smoothie that was just made."
Su Jiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, waved his hand and said: "Go and fill a few bowls quickly, prepare some summer clothes to wrap up, and wrap up a thin quilt, I will take it away in a while, Yamen
