Chapter 654 Yamadera

When Nian Xiyao left, his body was stooped.

He was probably confused, and somehow he had a "fate" with the prince.

Brother Jiu looked at his back, and with a rare conscience, he said to Shu Shu: "It seems that he was shocked. Isn't it unkind for me to order people like this?"

In fact, he didn't intend to call people in vain. Didn't he propose an exchange?

The other party helped him buy property, and he went back to help him fill the gap and move him out of the poor and remote place.

But Nian Xiyao was not very smart and had no success.

Shu Shu said: "Have someone prepare a letter from Cheng Yi!"

It's a bit wicked.

He took office well and found a job before he even got there.

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give you two envelopes of silver."

Not only did they come to offer incense and pray for blessings, they also brought out a lot of gold and silver.

It is also convenient to move out two envelopes of silver.

Brother Jiu just hires people conveniently, and he doesn't think about taking advantage or extorting money.

Brother Ten was a little surprised when he saw Nian Xiyao going out dejectedly. He couldn't help but be curious and came over and asked, "Brother Ninth has taught him a lesson, why does he look so out of his mind?"

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, what are you teaching him to do? I just know that he is going to Jingdong Mansion, a place where tea is produced, and asked him to help me buy a tea garden..."

When the tenth prince heard this, his heart was pounding.

If you have your own tea garden, going to Abahai as a gift can add the same thing.

People in Mongolia are very familiar with Yunnan’s Tuancha.

However, he still restrained himself.

He knew that he was different from Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother had not entered the court, but was only in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not a taboo to have private contacts with officials.

But it's not suitable for me here.

In fact, Jiu Ge has a tea garden, so he can use it too.

Thinking like this, he smiled and said: "That's really convenient, and it saves worry. I'll just send someone to take care of it later if I have someone reliable."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, we are currently short of staff. We really don't have the manpower. I don't know what will happen after we move out..."

Living in Haidian now is much more comfortable than living in a palace.

Neither brother wants to delay things too much, so it would be best if they can move out as early as possible.

Brother 10 thought for a while and said: "There is no chance of the Eight Banners Zuo Ling, but the population of the leader should be divided first..."

Otherwise, how can a prince's palace operate?

When they were in the palace, they had to use the eunuchs and servants who were working in the palace, and when they went out, they also needed to cover the people.

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good. When the time comes, we can always pull out a few people who can summon..."

Because the brothers above only divided the population of the inmates last year, Brother Jiu remembers clearly that even though the titles are different and the eight banners and collars are different, the population of the inmates is almost the same here and they are all "according to the king's rules".

This is the case of Prince Congyu and Prince Gong's generation. When every prince opens a palace, he is assigned a Manchu assistant collar, a flag and drum assistant collar, and an internal steward collar from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which equals almost 250 households.

Clothes.

Since we still have to travel tomorrow, Brother Ten will go back.

Shu Shu packed two envelopes of silver and sent He Yuzhu over to deliver Cheng Yi to Nian Xiyao.

Nian Xiyao was a little surprised when he found out about He Yuzhu's purpose. He didn't expect that the dignified prince would think of this.

After all, their relationship is between master and slave, and it is not a normal social interaction.

When the other party meets me, he gives orders casually, regardless of whether he likes it or not.

But after making up for the etiquette, things were different.

He actually felt flattered.

When He Yuzhu left, he opened it and saw that it was really not a small amount. There were two hundred taels of silver in one letter, and the total was four hundred taels.

Not only was Nian Xiyao very familiar with this Ninth Prince, he had also heard about it for a long time and knew that he was his beloved concubine and his beloved son.

But to be honest, there are more rumors about "domineering" people.

When I met him today, he turned out to be a somewhat innocent, generous and free-spirited person...

Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Shu Shu and his party continued their journey north.

Today is fast. We will drive another forty miles and arrive at Hongluo Temple before noon.

Sun Jin had taken the first step yesterday and went to Hongluo Temple to make preparations.

Hongluo Temple is the common name of Huguo Zifu Temple, a thousand-year-old temple in northern Beijing. It was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was originally called "Daming Temple".

It has been a Zen temple under official repair since the Tang Dynasty, and became a royal temple in the Yuan Dynasty.

During the renovation in the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed "Guo Guo Zi Fu Zen Temple".

By the Qing Dynasty, it was also one of the royal temples, and all its abbots were royal ordained.

A few years ago, the Holy Master also came personally to drop incense.

When the carriage stopped at the mountain gate, the abbot and Zhike monk from Hongluo Temple were already waiting.

Looking at the old monk with a white beard, Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother did not support him, but got off the carriage to greet him, as did the tenth elder brother and his wife.

The group of people was welcomed into the guest courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Shu Shu noticed something different. Everything she saw was green, and there were actually several clumps of green bamboo.

The bitter cold winter in Beijing is not suitable for bamboo growth, so it is rare to see bamboo in Beijing.

This variety now should be a cold-resistant bamboo.

As the saying goes, "It is better to eat without meat than live without bamboo."

With just a few more clumps of bamboo, the living room becomes simple and elegant.

I will burn incense tomorrow, so I am free this afternoon.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother went to have tea with the abbot and were also discussing the matter of inviting incense tomorrow morning.

Shi Fujin couldn't stay in the house any longer, so he came over to look for Shu Shu and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, are we just going to stay in the house? I was so stiff when I was riding in a carriage before..."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "Then take a walk around..."

She said this, but she did not rush out immediately. Instead, she told Xiaochun: "Go out and ask the people in the temple if there is a market nearby..."

Xiaochun responded and went down.

Shi Fujin thought of the large gathering in front of the temple he visited during his southern tour, and said with uneasiness: "You won't be looked at like a monkey again, will you?"

Shu Shu thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think so."

Since there is no flag camp nearby, the common people should rarely see women dressed in flags.

In that case, they would look very different standing in the crowd wearing flag uniforms.

Shi Fujin shook his head and said: "Then let's not go out. Let's just walk around the temple and let Xiaochun and the others go to the market to buy food..."

Shu Shu said: "Well, it's good to take a walk around the temple."

Otherwise, when they go out, the guards and soldiers will follow them.

They have been rushing for the past two days. They can still ride in the car and sit and rest. The guards and soldiers are on horseback, so it is more difficult.

Hongluo Temple is a mountain temple built on the mountain.

In later generations, Shu Shu came here. At that time, there was a "Guanyin Road", which was also a holy place for seeking children and marriage. I don't know if it exists now.

According to later generations, if you want to get married, "men should go to Yonghe, and women should go to Hongluo".

There is no Lama Temple now, it is still Sibeile Mansion.

If we turn back time, we don’t know if there was a “Guanyin Road” three hundred years ago.

After a while, Xiao Chun inquired around and came over to reply, saying: "Zhao Gezhuang, two miles away from the foot of the mountain, has a big gathering of 147 today..."

Shi Fujin swallowed his saliva after hearing this.

As long as you are in the market, you will eat all kinds of food.

Shu Shu glanced at Xiao Chun.

Xiaochun's clothes are different from those outside, and they are quite eye-catching.

She called Zhou Song and said: "Take a few guards and go to the nearby market. If there is food, buy more and share it with everyone. Forget about the meat and fishy food, and leave fresh fruits and exquisite small items.

I’ll also buy some back…”

Zhou Song agreed.

Shu Shu then ordered Xiao Chun: "Take out the copper coins and coarse cloth that I prepared before and ask Zhou Song to bring them with me. When I meet the poor and needy people, I will give them directly..."

Xiaochun also agreed and took Zhou Song to distribute things.

Shi Fujin was a little surprised and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu is giving alms to people outside? Isn't it to the monks in the temple?"

Shu Shu said: "This is a royal Zen temple. Everything is supported by the royal family. There is no shortage of things. The mountain and the land next to it are also the property of the temple..."

Shifujin said: "That's different from our place. We all serve the Fan monks there..."

Shu Shu said: "There is no set rule, just follow your heart!"

To be honest, she was actually curious about the old woman that Amma and Enie met at that time.

If you can meet it yourself, that would be fate.

But just thinking about it, if she can be called an "old woman", she is an old woman who is not young.

Seventeen years have passed now, and he is probably no longer alive.

After a while, He Yuzhu came back.

It turned out that the abbot and the monk invited the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother left the vegetarian meal. The two of them did not come back to eat, leaving Shu Shu and Shi Fujin to use it for themselves.

Shu Shu and Shi Fujin were also hungry.

We started early in the morning, and it's now two or three hours later.

After a while, the little novice monk was ordered to bring a food box.

Xiaochun, Walnut, and the girl from Shifujin were serving food nearby.

In addition to avoiding meaty and fishy foods, vegetarian meals should also avoid the "five pungent" substances, namely green onions, onions, garlic sprouts, garlic, and leeks.

So the taste is very light, there are four dishes in total, cold lotus white, braised dried beans, three shredded spring rolls, mushroom slices, the main dish is vegetarian noodles, called Ruyi noodles, which are made of fungus, yellow flowers, shiitake mushrooms, and magnolia slices

With vegetarian toppings, the flavor suddenly becomes richer.

Shifujin ate with gusto.

Shu Shu eats it very smoothly.

But when he put down his chopsticks, Shi Fujin couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law Jiu, as promised, can we eat meat when we return tomorrow?"

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, for the meal at the inn tomorrow night, you can eat meat if you want..."

Although Shi Fujin had been thinking about shooting rabbits before, he didn't have the time unless he stayed out for one more night.

We will worship Buddha tomorrow morning, set off in the afternoon, and stay at the inn that night.

I will be on the road the whole day after tomorrow and can return to Haidian before evening.

There are more than a hundred people in this group, so it is not very convenient to stay out for more than one day.

Shi Fujin looked forward to it and said: "When I ate at Dundun before, it was nothing. As soon as I was not allowed to eat meat, my stomach became dry and all I could think about was meat..."

The sisters-in-law didn't go anywhere else, they just walked around the guest house a few times.

The climate in the mountains is cooler than that in Haidian. The shady places are very cool and you don’t feel the heat at all.

Shi Fujin closed his eyes, feeling the mountain breeze, and said: "It's really cool, but it's too far away. Otherwise, we can build a separate courtyard here..."

Shu Shu and the Ninth Prince always thought about building a villa in Haidian, and the Tenth Prince and the others also talked about it.

It's just that the tenth prince is a "brother control", so he has to wait for the ninth prince to choose a location before choosing a nearby location.

Shu Shu thought of the other courtyard, but her eyes blinked.

On my way north these two days, I passed through Changping.

Huairou is far away from the capital, but Xiaotangshan is less than half the distance away.

Xiaotangshan is less than sixty miles away from the capital and only more than thirty miles away from Haidian.

Let’s go back and send people to buy the land first and occupy the hot spring eye first...
