Near Kyoto, somewhere in a temple.

Inside the meditation room, a little monk said, "I don't know how the glazed Guanyin statue of Hanshan Temple came about, the mouth is very tight, and I didn't inquire about anything, but it is said that Bo Li Yi of Chang'an County gave a glass statue to Her Royal Highness the princess at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess, and many people saw it at that time." ”

The old monk frowned and asked, "Oh, do you ever know where the glass statue of Li County Bo came from?" ”

The little monk said: "It is said that they were bought from a few foreign merchants, and no more can be inquired about. ”

Another temple.

"A foreign merchant?" The middle-aged monk pondered for a while and said, "Tell the disciples in the city to pay more attention to the foreign merchants in the city these days. ”

Then he thought of something and asked, "By the way, what did Zhang Dashan who went to Hanshan Temple say?" ”

Zhang Dashan is a loyal pilgrim of Fahua Temple, and will donate thousands of taels of incense money every year.

An embarrassed look appeared on the young monk's face, and he said, "Zhang Dashan saw the glass statue there, and then ......"

"And then what's wrong?" Seeing his slugging appearance, the middle-aged monk asked.

"Then I donated a thousand taels of incense money to Hanshan Temple."

“……”

"Tanyin old bald donkey, my Fahua Temple is inseparable from you!"

An angry voice came from inside the meditation room.

After a while, the young monk walked out of the meditation room, looked back, shook his head and sighed.

Although it is said that things like robbing believers and snatching incense are taboos in various temples, but the master and his old man scolded the monk of Hanshan Temple for being a bald donkey, didn't he even scold himself into it?

……

……

"Brother Li, is there some misunderstanding of Wang in your family?"

The two walked on the street, and Wang Yong turned back and asked Li Yidao with some doubts.

"Why did Brother Wang say this?" Li Yi looked back at him and asked.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with the way he looks at me...... Wang Yong thought about it, shook his head and said, "Maybe I feel wrong......

It feels right, after all, things worth thousands of taels of silver were smashed by him like that, and with the old man's money-hungry temperament, he didn't screw his head off and kick it as a ball, which was already extremely restrained.

Of course, Li Yi couldn't say this reason, waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang doesn't have to think about it, he may have been scolded by his mother-in-law yesterday, and he has been in a bad mood these days, so don't mind Brother Wang." ”

"It should be so." Wang Yong nodded.

Thinking of something, he looked at Li Yi again and asked, "That glass Guanyin statue in Hanshan Temple is also from Brother Li, right?" ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Wang also knows that our Jingguo does not produce colored glass, but those foreign merchants often travel thousands of miles to sell these things, and this time they are also lucky, and they met a few people who were short of money and were eager to sell, so they all took them at a low price." ”

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't Brother Li say before that it was dug out of the glazed mine?" ”

"Ah, is it?"

Wang Yong nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Yi looked at him and said, "Brother Wang, remember, in the future, you can't talk nonsense like this, dig it out of the mine, but you have to hand it over to the ...... of the state."

Wang Yong looked at him and nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Uncle, I'm back." Lao Fang went to inspect the store just now, and at this moment he caught up from behind, and after talking to Li Yi, he turned his head to look at Wang Yong, and his face instantly sank.

A look of doubt appeared on Wang Yong's face, and he asked, "Dare to ask this brother, is Wang ......?"

"Brother, what brother, I don't have a loser brother like you!" The old man's face turned pale and said, "If you were my brother, I would have broken your leg a long time ago......"

"Why did Brother Tai say this?" The expression on Wang Yong's face was even more puzzled.

"How dare you ask......"

Seeing that the old party had a tendency to roll up his sleeves, Li Yi hurriedly pulled him away and whispered: "This is a guest, don't be rude......"

Turning around and smiling apologetically at Wang Yong, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, the old party is a little emotional today, don't blame it......"

Watching Li Yi pull the big man away, Wang Yong stood in place, looked at the entourage around him, and then looked at the direction in which several people left, confused.

……

……

"Uncle, if you hadn't pulled me just now, I would have to make him pay a few thousand taels of silver!"

I couldn't see Wang Yong anymore, and the old party was still angry.

"Okay, okay, don't be like that to others in the future, isn't it just a glass ball, it's not worth a few dollars." Li Yi waved his hand, diverted the topic, and asked, "What happened to the store over there just now?" ”

The old man pursed his lips and said: "Several Fanbang businessmen, I don't know what happened, they were stopped in the shop, and they delayed our business in broad daylight, and they were all kicked out by me." ”

The people of Kyoto also divided the situation when addressing the Gentiles.

If it is Qi or Zhao or Wu, it will be called Qi people, Zhao people and the like, after all, the same yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, fighting is a war, and in the heart of the other party is still regarded as the same clan.

And the title of Fanbang has some derogatory meanings.

Merchants from small countries with different skin tones and hair colors and different appearances can be recognized at a glance when they walk on the streets of Kyoto.

As for their treatment in Kyoto, naturally, it cannot be the same as that of several other big countries.

"I don't know what's going on, it seems that everyone is looking for those merchants in Fanbang these days......"

The old man muttered a sentence in his mouth, and a few people hurried by, vaguely listening to them discussing "Hanshan Temple" and "Glass Statue" and the like.

Li Yi shook his head and continued to walk forward.

These were not in his plan, the glass statue sold to the old monk actually had such a big publicity effect, and in the past few days, there are many people who have been knocking on the side of the house to inquire about where the glass statue given to the princess came from, and those celebrities and nobles actually know how to use roundabout tactics, fortunately, he has already reminded Ruyi and pushed everything to the Fanbang businessman.

In this way, there is no need to even do anything superfluous, just wait for the old emperor's appreciation meeting to be held, take out a few pieces of glass ware that are "treasured" in the palace, and promote them to the magnates in Kyoto at a low price, and the foreshadowing of this matter can be truly completed.

Next, it's time for the Wang family to appear.

So far, what he needs to do is to sit at home and wait to count the money after the Wang family's charity sale is over.

Of course, you have to count secretly, so that no one can see it, especially Miss Liu Er.

"Uncle."

Li Yi was thinking about these things in his mind, walking unconsciously, and suddenly the voice of the old man came to his ears.

Li Yi turned his head, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The old man clasped his hands and looked at him with strange eyes, but did not speak.

"Neuropathy ......"

Li Yi turned his head and took two more steps forward, and his steps suddenly stopped.

I looked around, and a few steps further, I was about to step into that familiar and somewhat unfamiliar small courtyard, and I actually walked here unconsciously......

"Uncle, why don't you leave?" Old Fang's somewhat playful voice came from behind him.

"Shut up!"

Li Yi turned around and walked back.

"Hey, Gongzi Li, you're finally here!" A crisp voice came from behind him, full of surprise.

Li Yi turned around and saw Xiaocui coming out of the courtyard, her face full of joy.
