Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 60 Relic
In Zhongyonghou's mansion, Li Pu was a little dumbfounded staring at the golden red-gold Maitreya Buddha.

With his sleeves in his hands, he walked around the Buddha statue, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to Li Taiwei:
"Third son, you are really ruthless, you just dug up the treasure of the town house of Prince Chun's mansion!"

I heard that this golden Buddha was originally the dowry of the first concubine. When Prince Chun got married, the first concubine passed all the treasures in her private treasury to Prince Chun and his wife. Among them, this golden Maitreya is the most precious.

This Maitreya is charmingly naive, with warm eyebrows and eyes.It weighs about ten catties, and it is made of pure gold, a technique lost in the previous dynasty. It is the only one in Zhou Dynasty.

I heard that Princess Chunqing originally planned to give this family heirloom to his wife when the son of Ming Dynasty got married. Who would have slipped her hand and it would have fallen into the pocket of the Zhongyonghou Mansion in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Pu's stunned expression, Li Taiwei squeezed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, raised her eyebrows and said:

"If you don't poach Prince Chun's heart, how do you know that our Zhongyonghou's residence is not easy to mess with?"

Li Pu nodded, deeply agreeing.

But it's not suitable for such a golden object to be placed in the room of a young man like him, besides, his mother doesn't know about this matter today, if she sees this golden Buddha, it might be very sad.

Li Pu was in trouble, he glanced at Li Taiwei, and said:
"This golden Buddha is so precious, but it's not suitable to put it in my house."

Although this golden Buddha was valuable, it belonged to the concubine after all, and besides it was so eye-catching, he couldn't take it to the pawn shop to exchange it for silver flowers. Isn't this a slap in the face of Prince Chun's residence?But it's just a ostentatious decoration in my own room, which is obviously not suitable.

Mrs. Li smiled, wiped the pastry crumbs on her hands with a handkerchief, and said:

"If you think it's an eyesore, I'll run an errand for you and send it to Hua Antang's grandmother, and I'll tell her about today's incident for you, so that she won't talk about you in the future."

When Li Pu heard this, his brows and eyes widened, and he said with a smile:

"Third brother, my elder brother risked his life for you today, you have to remember elder brother's kindness!"

Li Taiwei rolled his eyes at him:

"You still have the face to say it? Just such a bastard, it almost made you lose face!"

"Tell my father to arrange two guards for you later on. When you go out in the future, be careful, how old you are, and you can tell people to lie to you with a few words!"

Li Pu choked, but couldn't refute it, and sent Li Taiwei out angrily.

Holding the golden Buddha in one hand, Dafu followed Li Taiwei to Hua'an Hall.

When we arrived at Mrs. Li's place, it was already time to light the lamps, so Nanny Sun set the table, and she saw Li Taiwei approaching, and greeted her in surprise:
"Why is the princess here at this hour? Are you ready to eat?"

Mrs. Li smiled and called Nanny Sun.

Mrs. Li just came out of the inner room, she was also surprised when she saw Li Taiwei coming over at this time.

"Why did Sister Wei come here? But what happened?"

Li Taiwei went forward to invite Ann, helped Mrs. Li to sit down on the rug, told the details of today's affairs with Prince Chun's residence, and asked Dafu to present the golden Buddha up.

Mrs. Li heard the sound of knocking on the crutches:
"Prince Chun's mansion can actually raise such an eldest son, it really disgraces his ancestors!"

As soon as Mrs. Li said the words, she remembered that Prince Chun's mansion is of the same clan as the current Holy Majesty, she couldn't help coughing twice to cover it up, then pointed to the golden Buddha in Dafu's hand, and said earnestly to Mrs. Li:
"Can our family be short of this money? Why do you want this?"

Li Taiwei stroked her back for her grandmother, her eyes lighted up faintly:

"Grandma, have you ever heard of Dayan relics?"

Mrs. Li was taken aback for a moment, and said with a wooden face:

"How can the name of the eminent monk of Dayan be mentioned casually?"

After saying that, Mrs. Li put her palms together and said a prayer to Amitabha.

This monk Dayan was originally an eminent monk who attained the Tao a hundred years ago. It is said that after his death, he left behind a red relic, which was regarded as a treasure by the Buddhist family!
It is rumored that this treasure is extremely effective. It was enshrined in the royal temple a hundred years ago, and was later destroyed by war.After the establishment of the new dynasty, this relic was never seen in the world again. There were rumors that those who win the relic would win the world. Since the Dayan relic did not show up, it can be seen that the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the destiny. Worry about it.

Right now, Li Taiwei suddenly mentioned the Dayan relic, and then Mrs. Li responded, frowning and asking:

"Why did Sister Wei suddenly mention this Buddha relic?"

Li Taiwei's eyes turned, pointing at this golden Buddha, he said:
"When I was in Xiliang, I accidentally found an ancient book in my uncle's library. There was a record on it about the Dayan relic. It was said that the relic was not damaged by the war, but was secretly sealed by the inner guard. Amongst the golden Buddha, smuggled out of the palace together with other treasures."

"The shape and size of the golden Buddha are recorded in the book. I think it is somewhat consistent with the Maitreya statue in Prince Chun's residence. I also heard that the former concubine was born in the general family. Back then, her residence was ordered to seal up many pawnshops in the capital. I guess This golden Buddha may be related to the inner court of the previous court."

Mrs. Li was taken aback, her eyes widened and she looked at the golden Buddha carefully, her voice was a little trembling:
"Is this really true? If such a treasure is really hidden inside, it will be terrible!"

Li Taiwei nodded and said:
"At present, this matter is only my granddaughter's guess. I remember that my grandmother often went to Fahua Temple to offer incense. If you have time, you can take this golden Buddha with you and ask Master Puhui to take a closer look. If this treasure is really hidden inside, we will We need to inform the palace as soon as possible."

Mrs. Li thought about it intently, and felt that Li Taiwei's words were not unreasonable, it was just a hard trip to Fahua Temple, and her house was restless recently, she originally wanted to go to the temple to pay her respects.But if such a chance is really given to find the Buddha relic from Maitreya, it will be a great achievement for the Li family!
Mrs. Li didn't dare to delay, so she asked Nanny Sun to arrange the carriage and leave the city at dawn tomorrow.

Li Taiwei also asked the concierge to arrange a lot of guards to escort Mrs. Li and her party, which provoked Nanny Sun to praise her again, and even Mrs. Li's face was stained with satisfaction, and she left Li Taiwei to eat in Hua'an Hall, and said After talking for a while, he told her to leave the yard.

Dafu got a good meal from Mrs. Li today, happily touched the bulging money bag hanging on his waist, and rolled his eyes with a smile.

"The princess is really powerful! Even more powerful than a fairy!"

Li Taiwei also smiled when he heard Dafu's flattery.

The secret in the Golden Buddha was accidentally discovered when she ordered people to search Prince Chun's mansion in her previous life. Even the old widower Lu Xiao didn't know that the relic was hidden in the Golden Buddha.Thinking of his surprised and perplexed look when he heard that he wanted such a golden Buddha today, Li Taiwei felt a lot better.

In the previous life, she climbed to a high position by herself, but in this life, she will definitely be able to push the Li family to a higher position!

"Princess."

Outside the moon gate, a maid stood, looking at Li Taiwei in a panic, and said in a low voice:
"Slave Baitao, the Eldest Young Mistress asks the princess to come to the Qiutang Courtyard, the Eldest Young Master has just returned to the residence."

Li Taiwei restrained her expression and leaned over to the maid.
