Qian family matter, Shen Yuanzhou came and went in a hurry, carrying his own banner of "iron mouth straight off", and he didn't know where to go.

Li Xuandu also intended to say goodbye, but he was left by Qian Qingbai, the elder of the Qian family, and it was difficult to resist his hospitality, so he could only stay for a few more days.

Qian Qingbai, who lives in a simple place on weekdays, made an exception for Li Xuandu, personally led him to visit the famous places in Jinling, and Qian Jin'er accompanied him.

Because it was a tour, naturally it couldn't come and go in a hurry, and it was slow along the way, and the three of them didn't mention much about the rivers and lakes, just chatting.

Qian Qingbai asked Li Xuandu what he had seen and heard since he reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and Li Xuandu told some interesting stories, especially the experience of going from Huainan Mansion to Longmen Mansion. Li Xuandu took the opportunity to talk about the little girl he regarded as his sister, and now Zhou Shuning, who has gone to the Xuannu Sect with Yu Qingning to learn art.

When it comes to the Xuannu Sect, Qian Qingbai, who is already in the age of the Cane Dynasty, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and talked about his experience when he was young, and got acquainted with a fairy of the Xuannu Sect with Shen Yuanzhou, which opened the eyes of Qian Jin'er, who was accompanying him, but he didn't expect that the deep ancestor of the city government also used to walk the rivers and lakes with a sword in Tsing Yi.

Among the three, except for Li Xuan, who is a young man, Qian Qingbai has to maintain his own identity, it is not good to be disrespectful to the old, and Qian Jin'er is a woman, so it is naturally difficult to go to the land of fireworks. So they went to the three religious resorts, and unconsciously, a group of people came to the most famous Da Bao'en Temple in Jinling Prefecture.

When Qin Xiang first arrived in Jinling Mansion, he borrowed it to live here. Speaking of Da Bao En Temple, it is one of the three major Buddhist temples in Jinling Mansion, among which there is a glazed pagoda, nearly 100 zhang high, the whole body is built with glaze, and it is called the first tower in the world.

Qian Qingbai said slowly: "The four hundred and eighty temples in the south of the Yangtze River, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. This is the grand scene of the Southern Dynasty in that year, now there are more than 6,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the Great Bao'en Temple, and there are Buddha bones in the glazed tower. Therefore, the monks of all factions gathered here, in addition, there are many scholars and scholars who also like to sit and talk about the Tao here, if the old man is not mistaken, today there is a sitting and talking about the unity of knowledge and action in the Da Bao En Temple. ”

Daebounji Temple covers a vast area, and if you walk through the entire temple, it will take about half a day's work. There is a river channel dug artificially in the temple, called the Perfume River, which runs through the north and south, and takes this river as the boundary, divides the Great Bao'en Temple into two halves before and after, and many famous people in the south of the Yangtze River are in the back temple at this time.

It is precisely because of this that the back temple is not allowed to enter by idlers, and there are several monks in the temple to check it. However, after Qian Jin'er came forward, it was naturally unimpeded all the way, although the Qian family was a businessman, but in the Jiangnan territory, it was actually no different from the wealthy lords of the family, even the governor of Jiangnan had to bow his head in front of the Qian family, and naturally no one dared to regard the Qian family as an ordinary businessman and his ilk and thus despise him.

At this time, there is still a period of time from the beginning of sitting and talking about the Tao, under the guidance of a delicate little monk, the three of them came to an elegant meditation room, although the monk shaved off three thousand troubles, but the lips are red and the teeth are white, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, if he is still wearing a luxurious dress, he must be a beautiful son of the turbid world. And he talks well, obviously full of poetry and books, and it is no wonder that many princesses of the previous dynasty were particularly partial to monks.

This monk obviously recognized the famous Qian Jin'er, but what made him a little surprised was that among the three people, the Qian family was faintly ranked last, and now the entire Jinling Mansion knew that the Qian family's affairs were presided over by the Qian family, not the head of the family is better than the head of the family, and the person who can be more respectful than the Qian family, is it the old ancestor of the Qian family who does not leave the ancestral house of the Qian family for half a step all the year round? But who is this young man who looks extremely raw? The monks have been in the temple for many years, and they have some impressions of the wealthy lords in the entire Jiangzhou, and he can be sure that he has never seen this person, is it not a foreign strong dragon who has crossed the river?

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

Qian Qingbai sniffed the fragrance of tea lightly and said with a light smile: "Don't bother this little monk." ”

Qian Jin'er promised and took the teapot from the monk's hand. The monk was more and more sure of his guess in his heart, and the majestic old man in front of him was the ancestor of the Qian family, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and after putting his hands together for eleven salutes, he slowly withdrew from the meditation room.

As a woman carefully cultivated by the Qian family, Qian Jin'er has traveled extensively among many ladies in the imperial capital, and is naturally extremely proficient in tea art and skillful.

After all, Li Xuandu is a person from the rivers and lakes, although he has a little involvement in these things, but he is not proficient, seeing Qian Jin'er pouring himself a full cup of tea, he can only thank him and take it, he failed to taste too many good and bad meanings, and he is suspected of chewing peonies.

However, the Qian family has a benefit, they will never judge people by their appearance because of such trivial things, and there is no sour and rotten atmosphere of those scholarly families, whether it is Qian Qingbai or Qian Jin'er, they don't care, Qian Qingbai said: "When Zifu leaves the master's door, how is the teacher?"

Li Xuandu put down the teacup in his hand, and said after considering his words: "Since the second year of Tianbao, all the big and small matters in the sect have been handled by the third senior brother. ”

Qian Qingbai nodded and said: "When the old man walked the rivers and lakes, the respected teacher was already famous in the rivers and lakes, and now that I think about it, it really feels like yesterday." ”

Li Xuandu said: "It's a pity, when the family teacher crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, only the senior brother and the second senior brother were by his side, and by the time I was accepted into the door, the family teacher rarely walked around the rivers and lakes." ”

Qian Qingbai sighed lightly: "It's a pity that Mr. Situ died young, if he was still alive, today's rivers and lakes may be a different situation." ”

Li Xuandu also sighed.

He hadn't seen that senior brother, but he had heard about the deeds of the senior brother from the mouth of the second senior brother, and the person who could make the second senior brother admire it very much could imagine his unparalleled demeanor back then.

As soon as Li Xuandu wanted to speak, he heard Qian Qingbai say: "Jin'er, you accompany Zifu to take a turn in this temple, and I won't go." Lest I be recognized by those old guys, I have another polite greeting, I am old and impatient with this, and I hope that Zifu will forgive me. ”

Li Xuandu smiled and shook his head.

Qian Jin'er respectfully agreed.

After Qian Jin'er and Li Xuan both left the meditation room, Qian Qingbai sat alone, and after a while, an old monk walked into the meditation room and said with a smile: "Master Qian, although you and I have been in Jinling City for many years and are close at hand, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. ”

Qian Qingbai said indifferently: "When people are old, they like to be quiet but don't like to move. ”

The old monk asked, "Who is that young man just now?" I am afraid that you can fish this thousand-year-old turtle out of the deep pool. ”

was called "old turtle", but Qian Qingbai was not angry, but said: "It can be regarded as the benefactor of the Qian family, and he has contributed a lot in this accident." ”

The old monk said clearly: "The poor monk already knows who he is. ”

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

The old monk sighed lightly and said: "My Great Wei Imperial Court sits on the nineteen states of the world, if the imperial court festival is used to love people, so that the people can be timely, officials at all levels are honest and self-controlled, and open the road of silk, porcelain, and tea trade, only these three can enrich the world, why is the treasury deficit today." ”

Qian Qingbai sneered: "The court is extravagant, greedy for ink, and natural disasters for many years, which makes the treasury empty. When the treasury is empty, it plunders the people, so taxes are levied year after year; As the richest family in the south of the Yangtze River, my Qian family has a big reputation, and it is expected that there will be today's disaster. However, with the wealth of my rich family, can I really fill the deficit in the national treasury? ”

The old monk sighed and said: "It is best for the money donor to understand this, now the imperial court has reached the point where it has to change, if Zhang Xiang was still there back then, and the innovation would not have been out of control today." ”

Qian Qingbai closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Just ask the old monk to bring a word to the old man to the governor of Qin, if there is a change in the world, the old man is willing to help him." ”
