I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

  Chapter 217 Approaching the trilogy step by step

  The person who came was a son with his attendants. The young master has a good appearance and a personable manner, wearing a snow fox cloak.

  Duan Shaoyi looked at the young master and clapped his hands, "Thank you for your appreciation, young master. But everything comes first, first come first, I am a person of credit, and I don't sell one thing to two masters. If you want to buy it, please tell the shopkeeper."

  The shopkeeper wandered around the aristocratic circle of Yanjing, visited countless people, and concluded at a glance that those who came would not be offended. "If the son wants to buy it, the first floor is willing to be an adult beauty."

  The young master said to the people behind him: "Take the silver."

  The attendant took a bank note, exactly one thousand taels.

  Young Master immediately said to Duan Shaoyi: "I am very interested in this painting, and I still want to ask for advice on some questions. Young Master Duan is willing to come to the house with me to discuss it."

  The down-and-out artist transformed himself into a guest at the noble man's house.

  Duan Shaoyi has a kind of unscrupulous energy, and he is poor and white, and he is not afraid of being deceived, "Then ask the young master to lead the way."

  Following the young master out of the first floor of the world, Duan Shaoyi got into the carriage and sat with the young master.

Duan Shaoyi sized up your young master, with great interest, "Miss, you have such a great handiwork, I see that you have a keen eye for pearls. Right now I don't have much money, so why don't you buy me, ma'am, to be your royal painter! "

  Shen Liqing was taken aback for a moment, she was used to traveling in men's clothing, and few people could tell at a glance. This painter has some skills. "How did you tell?"

Duan Shaoyi leaned on the chair of the carriage with his hands behind his back, lazy and casual, "I am a painter, and only by observing the subtleties can I draw the true meaning. Besides, you must have heard of me. , nothing can escape my eyes."

  Shen Liqing nodded, becoming more and more sure of his ability. "I don't think you are content with just painting fireworks girls. Now I have an errand for you, and I need you to paint one painting every day. It's this kind of long scroll painting. Naturally, you won't lose money."

  Duan Shaoyi was stunned, "..."

  This kind of long scroll drawing takes a lot of energy. It is a chance that he can complete it in one go today. If he draws every day, he is afraid that he will no longer have the interest to take a brush in the future.

   "This, this, this, I can't do it." He was discouraged, and directly dropped the pick.

  The carriage stopped at West Suzaku Street, Shen Liqing dismounted first, and Duan Shaoyi followed.

   "Mr. Duan, I don't think you can refuse."

  Duan Shaoyi's scalp was numb, and when she looked up, she saw two large characters written on the plaque on the mansion, "Shen's Mansion". You can figure out which "Shen" is with your toes, and who can refuse the Shen family's request?

  In front of the mansion, a handsome and elegant man was knocking on the door.

  Seeing that the mansion has returned, the handsome man hurried forward, "Please trouble me, Mr. Tong Bing, the son of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Bai Shaoze, has something important to ask to see Taifu Shen."

  Shen Liqing naturally knew this person, in fact, Bai Shaoze lived next door to the Shen residence.

  The down-and-out small country proton, just like his father.

   "Please come back, Shizi Bai, my grandfather has something to do, but I will tell you when he comes back."

  Subsequently, Shen Liqing brought Duan Shaoyi into the inner hall, Ren Bai Shaoze got a big rejection.

  **

   Emperor Yanwu was furious when he learned that the regent of the Song Dynasty had taken a tough attitude and moved into Xiangji Temple.

Yi Zhaoxian, the dean of Qianming Academy, went to the palace to report that he had a long secret talk with Emperor Yanwu, and when he came out, he only brought a sacred order: If Song Guo wanted to maintain business relations with Dayan, he would pay one million coins every year and cut five A city for Dayan. This is also the condition Taifu Shen put forward to the minister of Honglu Temple.

   Duan Shaoyi finally knew what he was going to paint.

  Record of Yan Song Negotiations.

  The negotiation between the two countries is no different from the bargaining in the vegetable market.

  Pei Xianzhi, Minister of the Honglu Temple in the Song Dynasty, analyzed the benefits of commerce in detail, saying that the Yan and Song Dynasties had common interests, and the real enemy was in the north. Yi Zhaoxian, the dean of Qianming Academy, insisted that the Wanzhou salt case was wronged by the State of Song, and the merchants could do whatever they could to make a profit. The State of Song had to make compensation to Dayan. The country of Dayan is rich and strong, and can be self-sufficient without trade.

  As for the regent of the Song Dynasty, he only appeared on the first day of the negotiation, that is, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and then began the trip to Yanjing.

  On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Pei Yuanxian and Master Puji, presided over by Xiangji Temple, climbed Honolulu.

  **

  In the meditation room in the West Wing.

   "The regent is so free, and he went hiking with the abbot, what do you think?" Baicaoshi filled two bowls of Laba porridge, and chatted with Zhe Yu while drinking.

   "What do you think about this matter?" Zhe Yu asked, now he intends to let Baicaoshi think more about the current situation and exercise her ability.

Baicaoshi thought for a while, "As you said, Xiangji Temple has a great master, so does Xiangji Temple have the ability to influence the royal family? Is the regent showing favor with Xiangji Temple also sending a signal to the royal family? Both threats?"

  Zhe Yu took a sip of porridge. Laba porridge does not necessarily drink Laba, and she was affirmed. "This regent is good at dancing with long sleeves."

  Baicao Poetry is still puzzled, "Master Puji, if he is the Grand Master of Xiangji Temple, why did he accept the overtures of the Regent of the Song Dynasty?"

"Perhaps the great master was born in Buddhism, and he pays attention to compassion. The position of Xiangji Temple does not represent a country, but the world. Or maybe, Buddhism is also a foreign thing. It took hundreds of years to take root in this continent, so he He does not reject foreign trade." Zhe Yu listed one, two, and three points, he was teaching Baicao poetry, and he was also analyzing himself.

   "The peace talks are at least a little better, and the Wangfu's attention to us has decreased."

  **

  Shen Mansion, Shen Liqing got Duan Shaoyi's two-day long scroll painting, but completely ignored Duan Shaoyi's anger.

  Duan Shaoyi doesn't want to paint anymore, nor does he want to paint for thousands of dollars.

  Shen Liqing opened the scroll painting on his own, and his gaze was fixed on the regent of the Song Dynasty.

   This man once gave her a strong sense of danger.

  But she is the phoenix girl of destiny, she believes that her destiny will be in her own hands, and anyone who finds a weakness and weakness can take advantage of it.

   Does the regent have any weaknesses?

  Suddenly her eyes narrowed, and she saw that in the scroll painting, the regent seemed to be playing with a small pot in his hand. And this little jar, she had also seen it at Silver Hook Casino that day.

  What is the significance of this little jar to him?

  **

  On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Regent Pei Yuanxian drove through Suzaku Street, stopped at the gate of Taifu Shen for a while, and then detoured around the sixteenth king's house.

   Of course, this process is accompanied by someone.

  **

  Xiangji Temple West Wing Meditation Room.

   "Yu Bao, the regent is so courageous. What is he doing at the door of Tai Fu Shen's house? What is he doing at the Sixteenth Prince's house?"

  Zhe Yu got out of bed today and practiced calligraphy for a while.

   “Before you ask a question, think for yourself.”

Baicaoshi studied ink diligently, "Oh, with you here, I am too lazy to think about it. In fact, I just want to do business, and I hope Taifu Shen will support it. Then, the deal will come. What can he provide to the Shen family? The Shen family has already It is Dayan's first-class family, and Song's national power is not as good as Dayan's..."

   Speaking of this, Baicaoshi suddenly woke up and slapped his forehead.

  Zhe Yu must say: "Keep talking."

"I used to read storybooks," which were actually plot novels I read before going through the book. "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and a cunning rabbit is a dead dog. The Shen family's credit is so high that it cannot be sealed, and it has a real destiny." Heavenly girl, on the contrary, is the most taboo of the imperial power. The appearance of the regent is probably to tell Taifu Shen that if you can't stay in Dayan, the Song Congress will give you a way out. Yu Bao, am I right? This is the regent mean?"

  Zhe Yu took the tip of the writing pen and tapped Baicaoshi's forehead lightly, "There is progress."

  But, if that day really comes, can Song Guo protect the Shen family?

  **

  That night, Taifu Shen, who had a very firm attitude, changed his tone and suggested to Emperor Yan that business might be possible.

   And when Taifu Shen returned to the Shen Mansion, he found that King Ming was also there.

   "Why did King Ming come here late at night? My granddaughter hasn't left the cabinet yet."

   Treating the old master, Ying Zheming maintained full respect. "Zhe Ming came here to ask the Grand Tutor to open his mouth and persuade my father. It's not that there is no benefit to the two countries. If the conditions are properly relaxed, everything will be easy to talk about."

  If Taifu Shen wanted to preserve his family's glory, then why did King Ming do this?

  Master Shen thought of Ying Zhefeng who had gone far away.

   "You don't need King Ming's suggestion, as long as it's beneficial to me, the old man will naturally say what you have to say. It's getting late, King Ming should go back early." Taifu Shen issued the order to evict guests, and he dared to do anything for Shen Liqing.

Ying Zheming smiled, and pulled Shen Liqing's hand in front of Taifu Shen, "Teacher, Li Qing and I are in the same heart, and we will get married next year. This is a fact that no one can change. She will be my woman. most honorable woman."

  Master Shen narrowed his eyes, "Master Ming, be careful, please go back."

   Only then did Ying Zheming leave Shen's residence.

"Presumptuous! How dare he treat you like this." Taifu Shen looked at Shen Liqing, "Li Qing, you used to push him halfway, why now? Tell me the truth, how far have you guys progressed? What happened to your Feng Ji? thing?"

  Feng Ji is long gone, but Shen Liqing still paints rouge on it every day. Ordinary people may not be able to notice it, but Taifu Shen cares most about his granddaughter, so why can't he see it.

  Shen Liqing suddenly knelt down, lowered his eyes, "Grandpa, I made a mistake, I..."

  Teacher Shen didn't understand what else, he flicked his sleeves, "I have no objection to your getting married now, but he is still a prince now. When will your destiny, Feng Nu, be fulfilled?"

  **

  On the 11th day of the twelfth lunar month, an urgent report came from the border. King Zuoxian of Beirong led his army to capture Yongzhou in Northern Qi.

  Pei Yuanxian, the regent, said through Yi Zhaoxian that he wished to form an eternal friendship with Dayan and jointly resist Beirong.

  Emperor Yanwu was furious in Tianyuan Hall.

   "Why is Northern Qi, as a vassal state, the city was attacked without any warning and asked for help? Are all the soldiers of Dayan eating free rice?"

Bai Shaoze, the proton of the Northern Qi Dynasty in Dayan, was finally proclaimed into the Tianyuan Hall. After he kowtowed, he made a statement: "I have gone to the gate of the palace many times to ask for an audience, but I have not been able to see Your Majesty; I have not been able to see the Grand Tutor either. Our country is a neighbor of Beirong. I pay special attention to Bei Rong's actions, and I noticed the change of Bei Rong before, and Emperor Qi asked me to ask His Majesty for help. However, there was no way in the middle, which delayed the opportunity."
