After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 217
Bai Fu lived in the Rong Mansion openly, Rong Qiniang recovered a little the next day and invited Bai Fu to the room to talk.

Bai Fu intends to develop a relationship with Rong Qiniang to obtain more information about future prophecy, so he behaves extraordinarily warmly, asks about his relatives, and reveals that he knows how to do kung fu.

Rong Qiniang felt that she and Bai Fu were destined, and Bai Fu was her savior, and within two days the two of them got along well.

But Bai Fu would not pretend to be affectionate and think that Rong Qiniang really got along with her.

Because when she revealed that she still planned to go to Anzhou, Rong Qiniang was silent.

It stands to reason that at this time she should say "Oh, really, what a coincidence, I'm going to Anzhou too!"

But she just smiled and said nothing.

The matter is very important, and it can be understood with caution. After all, he is a well-informed modern person, and he is not a real idiot who grew up in a deep house in ancient times.

Because Rong Qiniang was weak and had just suffered a crime, Mrs. Rong was worried, and the schedule of departure to Anzhou was delayed like this.

Although Bai Fu lived in Rongfu, she lied to people that she came to Qingzhou for pleasure, and it was not good for her to stay in the house all day when Rong Qiniang was recuperating, so she went out to the inn to find Brother An.

Ange's skin is rough and fleshy, and the injury on his body has long since healed. He spends too much time at the inn every day, so he went to the Tiger Roar Escort branch today to find a sense of presence.

Bai Fu was in vain, but luckily An Ge'er left him a note, so Bai Fu didn't go looking for him, instead he found a teahouse to have tea and listen to books after wandering around for a while.

Bai Fu listened to the storytelling, but his mind was thinking about other things.

Xi Nan has been following Master Foyin since that day, confirming that the Beirong people also left after they left that day, and did not meet Master Foyin or other monks of Wuliang Temple.

Master Foyin didn't have any abnormalities either, and he didn't ask any more questions after she escaped. He just asked the monks in the temple to check if there were any Beirong people among the visitors that day, as if they didn't know there was such a thing at all.

Could it be that the Beirong people really chased people there?

Mr. Fei wrote back to her, telling her not to act rashly, try to stay away from the Beirong people to ensure her own safety, and he has his own arrangements for the rest, so she didn't worry about that.

Anyway, she doesn't have the ability to worry about that now.

Rong Qiniang has some new discoveries here.

She deliberately said that her good sister's future husband is now at the northern border, and she plans to return to Raozhou to get married when the border is free next spring.

After hearing this, Rong Qiniang said that spring is probably the busiest season on the border, and getting married in autumn is also good.

This is actually quite contradictory.

There is no war on the border now, and the only things that can be busy are border defense and farming.

Frontier is not seasonal and is always busy.

Tuntian is busy planting in spring and harvesting in autumn. It makes no sense to be busy in spring but not in autumn.

Therefore, Bai Fu judged that Rong Qiniang was actually implicitly stating that there might be a war in the north next spring, and it would end before autumn.

Then there is nothing to worry about.

Half a year of war may be devastating in modern times, but in ancient times, it may be considered a small war at best.

She has ventilated Young Master Fei's people in advance, and the regent has the blessing of oil cannons. Taking precautions in advance may not cause a war at all.

She can still sleep peacefully.

Thinking of this, she tapped her fingers on the table briskly.

Yuandu.

The ministers did not leave the palace after the court was over, and there were many officials sitting in the most spacious duty room in the corner of the palace.

"Master"

An official slowly put down his teacup and said:

"Those people from the Ministry of Industry suddenly don't sing against the tune, but instead help us to make suggestions, maybe there is fraud."

On the main seat, a purple-robed official in his fifties lifted the lid of the cup and drank tea with drooping eyes, without answering.

The official continued:

"According to the officials, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. It seems good to use work for relief, but the execution is ours. If there is a trap, it will be beaten and torn apart. It is thankless."

Other officials exchanged glances and scrambled to express their agreement with the statement.

The Ministry of Housing and Industry had previously opposed the construction of the Taoist temple the most, and even yelled at the court that those who agreed with the construction of the Taoist temple were treacherous ministers who wanted to subjugate the country.

Now that he suddenly changed his gender, not only did he not object, but he also offered advice.
Although I don't know what's cheating, it's always good to be careful when sailing for thousands of years.

After the next round of discussion was over, Prime Minister Cao on the main seat glanced at the crowd, and asked after a while.

"What trap?"

After a pause, he said in panic:
"The lower official is dull, I haven't figured it out yet, let me wait"

Master Cao smiled and waved his hand.

"I am the one who agreed to continue the construction of Zhentian Temple. It is also a fact that the money is insufficient, and there is an urgent need for disaster relief. His Majesty has agreed to kill three birds with one stone. Can we still object?"

The next official was still talking, but Cao Xiangye suddenly got up and interrupted him.

"Okay, let's do it. Are our people not as good as theirs?"

After all, Mr. Cao has already left the house, and everyone hastily got up and sent them off in a rude manner.

Walking to the door, a eunuch came forward and whispered something in his ear, Prime Minister Cao nodded and followed the eunuch towards the imperial study.

"Cao Xiang quickly help me to take a look, how about putting these things in the box?"

As soon as Cao Xiang entered the imperial study, he saw the emperor picking and choosing in front of the desk with great interest. He glanced around and found that there were calligraphy and paintings, poetry collections, and jade pendants on the desk, and there were a dozen or so pieces.

"His Majesty"

Cao Xiang bowed forward, with a calm and sincere tone:

"I feel that these items are too precious, and their value is far more than a thousand pieces of gold. It's a pity that other courtiers can't come up with more attractive items than these, so that people in the world are vying to buy them. Your majesty is so expensive. I am ashamed!"

The emperor smiled.

Eunuch Xiao looked at Cao Xiang calmly.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Cao knows how to make His Majesty happy.

"No problem, if these can save the people from suffering, why don't I give up?" the emperor said generously.

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise"

Prime Minister Cao saluted with fists clenched, "In order to get together a hundred boxes as soon as possible, I have ordered the ministers of the court to donate them, and the boxes are also being produced, and they will be sent to major cities and towns in five days."

"Be sure to ensure fairness," the emperor enjoined.

Cao Xiang expressed his understanding.

"I have one more thing to ask"

He continued:
"In order to ensure fairness, I ask Your Majesty to give you the pens you have used, as well as the handicrafts made by Your Majesty, in order to make up for the unfairness of those who did not get what His Majesty gave you."

Hearing this, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

"Alright, Eunuch Xiao, go and fetch all the pens and gadgets I have used over the years!"

Eunuch Xiao stepped back in response.

When Cao Xiang left, he met two officials walking side by side on the official road.

"Cao Xiang"

Seeing Master Cao, the two stopped and saluted respectfully.

Prime Minister Cao returned the salute with an amicable smile:
"Shen Shangshu, Su Shangshu, the two official offices are far apart, why did they get together today?"

Su Shangshu, Shangshu of the household department, didn't like Shen Shangshu, so he didn't have much expression on his face.

Shen Shangshu knew that the two did not get along, so he smiled more kindly than Prime Minister Cao, "Isn't it because the monastery and disaster relief in the south have to be carried out at the same time, His Majesty summoned us together."

Cao Xiang was stunned, and then said with admiration:

"This time, it is thanks to the two of you who helped His Majesty solve the difficulties. Your Majesty will always remember the good of the two of you."

"Wherever you say it, it's what a courtier should do. If you dare to ask for credit, it's thanks to Prime Minister Cao that you waited for me in the early court."

Shen Shangshu exchanged warm greetings, while Su Shangshu turned his face away in a very shameless way.

Cao Xiang didn't care, and left after a few more polite words.

"A person who became the prime minister by relying on opportunism is worthy of your favor?"

Su Shangshu complained to Shen Shangshu dissatisfied.

Shen Shangshu watched Cao Xiang disappear behind the door, and then slowly turned around, "What's the matter? It's his ability to be the prime minister, is the means important?"

Su Shangshu sneered, "Shen Shangshu is really open-minded."

It is worthy of selling his daughter to become a minister.

Shen Shangshu glanced from the corner of his eyes, and saw that the sarcasm on Su Shangshu's face hadn't stopped, and he shook his head calmly.

A person with a good life is full of pride, how can he understand the bitterness of a small person.

"Speaking of which, our Ministry of Industry has also helped the Ministry of Households a lot this time."

Not wanting to continue talking, Shen Shangshu changed the subject, "In the future, please Shen Shangshu hold your hand high, don't delay the construction period because of some trivial matters, then you and I will not be able to do business."

In the past, the Ministry of Households made troubles for the Ministry of Industry, and Su Shangshu knew it well. This time, the Ministry of Industry came up with a good way to raise funds, which really solved his urgent needs, and he should give back:

"Good talk, good talk."

Five days later, one hundred boxes of the same size and color were sent to the court.

In front of the emperor, the ministers put in the items they had chosen thousands of times, and finally Eunuch Xiao personally led them in
Put a brush in each box and seal it on the spot.

Which boxes should be sent to which states and counties will be randomly designated by His Majesty the emperor on the spot, and finally handed over to the emperor's black armored guards to personally escort them immediately.

Watching the black armored guards leave, the expressions of everyone in the hall were unpredictable.

Cao Xiang stood with his hands up the whole time, with a warm expression on his face.

Marquis Qing Yuan said in a low voice, "Master Cao is good at execution."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the adults standing on the other side, "It's rare that everyone is happy."

"Thanks to Lord Marquis" Cao Xiang smiled modestly.

All of a sudden, several major events were settled, and the emperor could not hide his joy on his pretended solemn face.

The emperor looked at the regent standing at the head of the officials and asked:
"I don't know what the regent donated?"

The regent bowed slightly perfunctorily.

"I don't have any calligraphy and paintings that can be sold, so I only donated a dagger."

The emperor let out a long tone.

"What the regent took out must be a rare and good dagger."

The regent laughed inexplicably, "I don't know if the dagger is good or not, but the person who used this dagger was very powerful."

The emperor was puzzled.

"How powerful?"

"This dagger was the personal belonging of the former King of Beirong. The King of Beirong once used this dagger to assassinate the late Emperor. Unfortunately, he was defeated and was killed by the late Emperor. The late Emperor used this dagger to pierce the neck of the former King of Beirong. .” The regent said lightly.

The officials below were in an uproar.

Ten years ago, the first emperor defeated Beirong, what a sight it was.

But no matter how beautiful it is, it is a thing of the past. The comfortable life has passed for a long time, and the first emperor is no longer. Few people remember those people and those things.

The regent's simple words evoked the memories of those present.

The emperor was also very moved.

"The first emperor is mighty." He said emotionally.

The regent's lips curled up and did not answer.

Words are always the easiest and most easily forgotten. Only those who have truly shed blood will engrave that scene in their bones.

After a few days of recuperation, Rong Qiniang finally recovered a little.

She was drugged that day, and when she came back for treatment, the doctor said that her condition had recurred again, and advised her not to travel far in the near future.

Rong Qiniang insisted that she had nothing to go to Anzhou in person.

In the end, Mrs. Rong cried a lot in front of Rong Zhizhou, and then she asked Rong Zhizhou to give Yuandu a note explaining her daughter's situation and asking the regent's opinion.

When she learned about this, Rong Qiniang was drinking medicine, and she frowned slightly on her pale face.

The blueprints are all presented, wouldn't it be a pity to give up halfway?
"daughter"

Mrs. Rong sat on the bedside and yelled worriedly, and waited for her daughter to recover before persuading her:
"You are a girl, and you don't understand the dangers of officialdom. If you have something good or bad, how will your mother live?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Rong couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Although the master hasn't figured out the clue yet, isn't it obvious?

It must be because of the daughter's offering of weapons that broke some people, which caused this catastrophe.

A big girl's family was drugged and sealed in a coffin. If she was not rescued that day, wouldn't she be buried alive?
Rong Qiniang couldn't understand her mother's worry.

She sighed:
"Mother, don't cry. I won't go if I don't, but please invite father over here. My daughter has something to say to father."

Not long after Rong Zhizhou got the news and rushed over, he didn't even have time to change his official uniform.

"How is my daughter today?" She asked with concern as soon as she entered Rongzhizhou.

Rong Qiniang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Daddy, my daughter is already in much better health."

Rong Zhizhou heaved a sigh of relief, sat on a chair beside him and glanced at his wife, "You can rest at home and wait for Yuandu to reply to the message before making any plans."

we can only do this.

Rong Qiniang nodded in response, thought for a while and said:

"Daddy, can you ask the regent to send an oil artillery craftsman, so that I can explain it to him if there is any difficulty."

Rong Zhizhou said: "Father has already asked for this in the letter, I don't know if the regent will agree."

Rong Qiniang lowered her eyes.

The Prince Regent should have no reason to disagree.

"Miss"

Qi Tao raised the curtain and walked in, saluted his wife and master, and said, "Ms. Du is back, and she said she bought pastries for you to try."

Rong Qiniang hurriedly said: "Then parents, go and do your work, I will talk to Miss Du for a while."

Bai Fu met Mrs. Rong of Rong Zhizhou who came out at the door of Rong Qiniang's house.

Mrs. Rong thanked her for holding her hand.

Bai Fu entered the room with a few polite words.

"Sister Qiniang, I didn't disturb your conversation with your family, did I?" Bai Fu asked politely after opening the curtain.

Rong Qiniang showed a friendly smile.

"how come"

She said, "My parents are afraid that I will be too busy, and they are very happy to have a younger sister."

Bai Fu smiled and put the food box on the table, opened the food box and took out two plates of pastries, "My sister went to Wuliang Temple today, and I heard that the pastries inside are delicious, so I specially brought some for my sister."

Rong Qiniang frowned slightly when she heard the word Wuliang Temple.

"Sister, do you believe in Buddhism?" She hesitated for a moment and asked.

Bai Fu tilted his head and thought about it seriously, "I can't say it, but I was lucky to meet Master Foyin that day, and I felt that this person was kind and kind, and helped so many people realize their wishes, so I also wanted to make a wish."

Said Bai Fu pretending to be shy, "My sister also wants a good marriage."

Rong Qiniang always felt that Bai Fu's words and deeds were feminine, but she didn't expect her to have such a shy side, so she couldn't help laughing.

"Sister is so capable, she must have a good marriage."

Bai Fu brought the fruit plate to Rong Qiniang, and Rong Qiniang chose a jujube paste cake, and began to eat it in small bites.

Bai Fu sat on the bed and sighed, saying:

"But today I met Master Foyin. He said that my marriage may have some twists and turns. He asked me to worship the Buddha and eat vegetarian food to accumulate good fortune. I heard from the owner of the pastry shop that donating some kindness and silver can make my wishes come true."

After speaking, Bai Fu looked at Rong Qiniang sadly, as if he was waiting for Rong Qiniang to give her advice.

Sure enough, Rong Qiniang continued:

"These words are not credible, sister don't believe them, and don't waste the money."

Bai Fu looked puzzled.

Rong Qiniang thought about her choice of words, and explained: "Although Master Foyin is an expert, the matter of marriage is not something he can see."

"But I saw many people who went to fulfill their vows that day, and they all said that it was because of Master Foyin that their wishes were fulfilled."

Bai Fu said seriously.

Rong Qiniang said: "What they want is different from your sister."

"Why is it different? I think there were some ladies and ladies that day, and what they wanted was the well-being of their families and the happiness of their children?"

Rong Qiniang shook her head.

"Not necessarily. Many of them didn't ask for themselves. Don't trust me, sister."

"If you don't ask for yourself, it's the same for your children." Bai Fu said.

"Neither"

Seeing that Bai Fu hadn't lost his mind, Rong Qiniang said impatiently, "Many of them are begging for their masters."

"Do you want to get promoted and get rich for your master?" Bai Fu asked
Rong Qiniang nodded.

Bai Fu was surprised, "Did so many people in Qingzhou get promoted and get rich last year?"

"Not only from Qingzhou," Rong Qiniang said, "but also from other places."

Bai Fu's eyes flickered slightly.

She doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, a temple that can make people get promoted and make a fortune. It's not easy.

She said speechlessly:

"I didn't expect that the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and the Empress Songzi enshrined in Wuliang Temple can also bless people to get promoted and get rich."

Rong Qiniang smiled, but didn't explain more, she just said, sister, you can save money.

Bai Fu talked to Rong Qiniang for a while, but she was the one talking most of the time, Rong Qiniang didn't seem to like to talk much, she just listened quietly.

But it could be seen that she listened very seriously and didn't mean to be perfunctory.

This girl is quite strict.

Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Fu bid farewell and left while Rong Qiniang's maid was delivering medicine.

Rong Qiniang took the medicine and drank it in small sips.

Seeing the young lady frowning, Qi Tao asked hesitantly, "Miss, is the medicine too bitter?"

Rong Qiniang shook her head, and asked another matter after drinking the last sip of the soup.

"Haven't Qingsong got the list of people who went to Wuliang Temple to fulfill their vows?"

Qi Tao said: "Qingsong has only inquired about some of the locals, and is still inquiring about those from other places."

Rong Qiniang nodded, "Tell Qingsong to be careful and not expose herself."

Qin Tao nodded in response, and asked again:
"Miss, why on earth do we need to investigate those people who have returned their vows?"

Rong Qiniang lowered her eyes.

Naturally, it was because those people would participate in the persecution of the Prince Regent, and she had to remind the Prince Regent in advance after getting the list, so as to avoid the tragedy in the original plot.

Because she was afraid that her father would be involved, she didn't dare to tell her father, so she could only ask her personal servant to inquire a little bit.

It's better to find out how much is better than not knowing at all.

In the evening, Xi Bei reported to Bai Fu what he overheard.

Bai Fu stroked his chin.

I want to restore other people's list. How about she try it?

Xi Nan lay on the roof and watched Master Foyin chanting sutras through the gap for a long time, and was almost hypnotized by the rhythmic voice, when suddenly a black shadow fell beside him, Xi Nan was so shocked that he was about to make a move when he heard the voice whisper It's me.

Xi Nan stopped and looked around, and Bai Fu, who was wearing the same style of black clothes and black hair and a black mask as him, smiled at him.

Xi Nan: "."

It turns out that apart from those strange moves, Miss Bai's lightness kung fu is also so good.

Bai Fu looked down through the gap, Master Foyin had just stopped chanting, a little novice stepped forward to help him up, and handed him a message:
"A letter from Master Yiyan."

One rock master?
Bai Fu blinked.

These two know each other?
Master Foyin didn't read the letter, he put the letter in his arms and left the Buddhist hall.

Bai Fu said to Xi Nan:

"Try to get that letter. I'll find out if there is a list of waivers."

Xi Nan nodded, and the two men split into two groups.

Bai Fu searched every room in the temple as long as there were books, but found nothing.

This monk is quite cautious, it seems that the plot is not small.

Finally, she came to a corner room that seemed inconspicuous, and was about to start searching, when suddenly footsteps came from outside, Bai Fu hurriedly turned off the flashlight and hid behind a cabinet.

I don't want there to be someone behind the cabinet.

Their eyes met, both of them were quite surprised, but both chose not to make a sound in tacit understanding.

creak.

The house door was opened.

It is Master Foyin.

He held up an oil lamp, looked around and pressed something, and suddenly heard the sound of a door opening in another hidden corner.

It's a dark room.

Bai Fu: "."

It's pretty advanced.

Master Foyin walked into the dark room, and soon the door of the dark room was closed again. Bai Fu looked at the man and walked out from behind the bookcase.

Bai Fu walked towards the door of the dark room, lying on the door to see if he could hear anything.

It's a pity that the man also came out from behind the bookcase and rummaged through the cabinets and boxes in the room.

Bai Fu frowned.

"Be quiet." She said angrily.

Such a big movement is not afraid of being heard.

The key is because of the noise this person made, she couldn't even hear the movement inside!

It was eerily quiet inside.

The man laughed, "Don't listen, I can't hear you."

Bai Fu looked back at him.

"Have you tried?"

The man didn't look at Bai Fu, but still looked down for a while, and said in a disdainful tone: "There's nothing in it, I wasted half a day of effort, so don't waste your effort."

Bai Fu asked, "It's just an empty room inside? Not even a table, chair, or book?"

The man said: "There is not even a tael of silver for a whole room of booklets."

It turned out to be to steal money.

Bai Fu thought for a while and asked, "The thief won't leave empty space, you help me in, and I'll give you ten taels of silver, how about it?"

That person: "."

The two waited for a long time, and after Master Foyin left, the man took Bai Fu into the dark room, and thoughtfully lit the fire pocket to illuminate Bai Fu.

Bai Fu bent the corners of his lips, and began to flip through the books on the bookshelf.

They are all Buddhist scriptures.

Bai Fu's face darkened immediately.

Reading a Buddhist scripture is worth making it so mysterious! !

The man left after coming out of the dark room and settled the silver.

Bai Fu found Xi Nan, and Xi Nan told Bai Fu the contents of Yiyan's letter:

"Master Yiyan said that this year's Zen tea may be later, so Master Foyin should stop urging him."

Bai Fu: "."

There is no list, no dirty money, and no hook-up. It seems that we still have to find information from Rong Qiniang.

After handing over the task of continuing to find the list to Xi Nan, Bai Fu returned to Rong Zhai.
