The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 222 The Idea of ​​Doing Public Welfare
Looking at the time, Xuan Shijing had no choice but to interrupt the reminiscence between Qiandui and Qin Yuxin, and said, "Qiandui, you and Yuxin's wife will find a room to talk alone for a while, and Sizi and I will finish the matter in a while. I have to go back to the library."

"Yes, Lord Hou." Qian Dui hurriedly retreated behind Xuan Shijing, cursing in his heart that he had been arguing with Qin Yuxin for a long time and ignored his Lord Hou, this goblin!

Xuan Shijing, Jinyang and Qiandui followed Qin Yuxin to the third floor, knocked on Qin Bingyue's door, and heard a clear and cold voice.

"Enter."

Qin Yuxin pushed open the door and invited Xuan Shijing and the others into the room.

"Master Li? Who is this?" Qin Bingyue's voice sounded calm even though it was a question.

"This is from the shopkeeper in my house, Qiandui, who also has contacts with you Yanlailou, oh, it should be more contacts with the proprietress Yuxin." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Cough cough." Hearing this, Qiandui coughed twice uncomfortably.

"I don't know why Lord Hou has come these days?"

"Miss Qin still has an impression of the Hu businessman who participated in the bidding last night?" Since Qin Bingyue said so, Xuan Shijing asked directly.

Qin Bingyue shook her head: "No, I didn't care about these things in the past. If I want to recognize them, I should understand them on the first day of next month."

"Madam Yuxin should know it." Qian Dui turned to look at Qin Yuxin: "Although Yanlailou said that there are many customers coming and going, but you must have an impression of such a big deal."

"I do have some impressions, but I don't remember the specifics. The Hu merchants seem to be in the silk business. They got the goods from Chang'an and sold them to the Western Regions, so their family background is also very rich. They have a large industry in Chang'an. Yue is also very caring. Two days ago, I heard from a buddy that he spent a lot of money to accept a treasure for yesterday's bidding. A student didn't know the goods, so he sold a treasure to him for a thousand dollars. Is it difficult for you guys? What needs to be investigated is whether the treasure he bought is worth it?" Qin Yuxin asked.

It's no wonder that Qin Yuxin took over Baoniang's management of the Yanlai Building at a young age. His brains are really beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he even guessed Xuan Shijing's intentions.

"That's right, the thing he took out is indeed a treasure. It's not a question of how much it's worth. It's not a priceless treasure in itself, but its meaning is much more precious than money." Xuan Shijing Said, at any rate, this jade unicorn paperweight is related to the reputation of Lushan Academy and Wu Junyan's upward head.

"Then if it's not the case, I wouldn't bother Master Hou to come over here in person for this matter." Qin Yu said thoughtfully.

When Qin Bingyue heard the words, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still walked to her desk and gave Xuan Shijing the jade unicorn paperweight she got last night: "Since this thing is so important to Lord Hou, Lord Hou Let’s take it back, although this item is precious, but to Bingyue, it’s just a paperweight.”

Xuan Shijing must get the jade unicorn paperweight back, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, and he frowned in this way. After thinking for a while, Xuan Shijing still took Qin Bingyue's hand. Putting the paperweight on the table, he said: "That's it, I will thank Miss Qin. Although it is not for a gentleman to steal someone's love, this thing is indeed of great importance. In the future, Shijing will definitely find something equivalent and give it as a gift." To the girl."

Qin Bingyue shook her head and said: "Master Hou, you don't have to be polite, this can be regarded as Bingyue's reciprocity."

Reciprocity?Xuan Shijing was puzzled, looked at Qin Bingyue, and his eyes suddenly fell on the jade pendant around her waist, which was the jade pendant he gave her ten years ago, not everyone can wear the dragon pattern jade, Qin Bingyue has already It has been remodeled a bit, but the original appearance can still be seen.

Jin Yang, who was standing beside Xuan Shijing, also saw the jade pendant Qin Bingyue was wearing, wrinkled his nose silently, and then looked at the jade pendant around his waist, why did he feel a little strange?

The jade unicorn paperweight is carved from a whole piece of high-quality suet jade, which feels warm to the touch, and the unicorn picture carved on it is lifelike. Even Xuan Shijing, who is used to the exquisite craftsmanship of later generations, can't help but sigh. If it is handed down for thousands of years, it will definitely be a national treasure. I really want to take it home in my pocket and find a place to dig a pit and bury it.

Forget it, even if later generations dig it out, it will only cost 500 yuan plus a pennant.
Cursing his lips secretly, Qiandui was talking with Qin Yuxin about some specific things about Hu Shang, but Xuan Shijing, Jin Yang, and Qin Bingyue were speechless and seemed a little embarrassed.

"Brother Jing, are you going to just return this paperweight to Junyan Wu?" Jin Yang asked breaking the silence.

"Otherwise? I want to keep it privately. If so, I'm afraid Wu Junyan's life will be in danger." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "It must not be so cheap. Wu Junyan, looking at him like that, knows that he is in Lushan Academy Making sacrificial wine, I also got a lot of oil and water, if I don’t let him bled, I’m sorry for the exhaustion of the past few days.”

"Brother Jing, you look so rich right now." Jin Yang looked at Xuan Shijing contemptuously.

"Your brother Jing, I just plan to contribute a piece of love to public welfare." Xuan Shijing explained with an embarrassed smile: "Si, how about setting up a charity charity fund for the proceeds we get from this case?" ? Miss Qin also participated."

Xuan Shijing accepted the paperweight that Qin Bingyue took out, feeling very sorry all the time, and always wanted to make some compensation, but what is the compensation?money?The dignified Chang'an family will be short of money?What about reputation?The current Qin Bingyue is already famous in Chang'an.

Even so, doing public welfare in the Tang Dynasty was not only a good thing to earn fame, but also a good thing to accumulate yin and virtue in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Master Hou, what is public welfare?" Qin Bingyue asked.

Jin Yang also looked at Xuan Shijing suspiciously.

"The so-called public welfare is to set up an organization to help those who need help. For example, when Datang suffered another disaster, we donate money or contribute to help others, and to help those who are in difficulty for a while. For example For example, there is a family of people in Chang'an City, whose family members are seriously ill and cannot afford the medical expenses. After we understand the situation, we can donate some medical expenses to help them tide over the difficulties." Xuan Shijing explained.

Jin Yang nodded half-understood: "It's the good deeds Daoist Sun often does, right?"

"Yes" Xuan Shijing was taken aback when he heard Jin Yang mentioned Sun Simiao, yes, isn't what Sun Simiao has done these years the so-called public welfare?
Truly a man of high moral character, but Sun Simiao alone is not enough. If you want to do it, you can make it bigger.

"Since I mentioned this matter today, let's wait for a while and allow me to come up with a reliable plan for a while, and I will ask Miss Qin to move to Xuanwu to discuss it in detail." Xuan Shijing said.

Qin Bingyue nodded, and replied: "Such a good thing, Bingyue will definitely support it."
