Chapter 31 Chapter 31: Worshiping the Buddha across the mountain

In the gurgling rain, the cool wind came in through the curtain, blowing the window paper so that it sometimes bulged and sometimes concave, like a low and deep sigh.A faint thunder came from far away, and Yin Jishan sat quietly, staring at Zhang Qiuming with a knife-like gaze: "Why did you bring Fu Heng out? I told you, I was entrusting the secret order of Zhu Bian! What Fu?" Fu Heng or not? I didn't even tell Fan Shijie and Dor Jixiao, I went to you directly for the sake of 'secret', you dare to confess a few words to the police chief and then walk away! 'One flower' gathered three times to rebel , spread a cult in seven provinces, the imperial court spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to hunt it down province by province year after year, Liu Tongxun's hair was exhausted, and the governor of Shanxi was downgraded two grades for her escape, you are so contemptuous!" Zhang Qiuming was able to hold on at first, although Standing with hands hanging down, the angles of the feet were reversed from time to time, so far, his face turned pale, his feet were parallel, and his waist was hunched, and said: "The humble official has already known... The humble official wants to rectify the law and order in the province... Several articles of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have said that we are the number one murder case in Jiangnan, and this is also for the dignity of the platform... ".

"It's too late now. What secrets does the patrol agency have? You gave 'Yizhihua' half a month. She has a nest in Nanjing, money, and personnel that we can't tell. Don't talk about staying, old Jinling The household registration documents are also complete. You—how much work have you done to the court?" Yin Jishan became more and more angry as he spoke, and stood up abruptly. "Leave for me! - You don't have to go to the Yamen from tomorrow, just listen behind closed doors!" Zhang Qiuming trembled, and quickly glanced at Yin Jishan with frightened eyes, then moved to Fan and Dao, and saw Daoerji looking at the calligraphy and painting between the walls.Fan Shijie crossed Erlang's legs and concentrated on picking his nails, knowing that the two of them could not be counted on to intercede.Wanting to leave, but unwilling, he picked up his head abruptly and said:

"Yin Yuanchang, dismiss me as an official, do you have the right?" "I didn't tell you to be an official. You are not qualified, I will tell you to go back and listen to the ginseng!" "I have reported Zhuo Yi for three consecutive years, and the Ministry of Officials has a file!" "You're a clown!" Yin Jishan yelled, "I'll save face for you—if you don't leave, I'll tell Geshhacha to get out!" Then he shouted, "Come on!" Hearing Goshha's footsteps on the outside porch, Zhang Qiuming knew that it would be even more humiliating to keep going, so he gave Yin Jishan a vicious look, and said through his teeth: "I have to thank the platform!" Before Goshha came in He rushed out the door.Dorji then said: "Zaotai, he is still talented. It's just that he is a little more frivolous. I usually look very cautious in front of you. This... is this punishment too severe?"

"This is really a good character who licks his ass, and the old man interceded for him!" Fan Shijie shook his legs and said, "What's so hard to guess what's in his mind? It's just because Yuan Chang wants to transfer Guangdong and Guangxi. I am old, and Dorji has just been promoted from other places. He can at least jump to the governor's position, or even act as the governor's office." Dorji rubbed his rosy nose and smiled: " That's too whimsical, jumping three levels in a row, how can there be such a good thing for him?" Yin Jishan said: "I'm angry that he missed my errand. Zhang Qiuming is a bit of a man of the wind, so it's not enough to just So shallow-sighted! I was transferred, not deposed, isn't he afraid that I will be transferred back?"

Fan Shijie snorted and said, "Yuanchang, you can't see through. You are a high-ranking young man, and you don't have a deep understanding of the filth of the officialdom below you. There were rumors a while ago that you were the Emperor of the South of the Yangtze River, and that the Ministry of Officials was the Ministry of Officials of the Yin family. , I listen to you bossing around. I am afraid that he is thinking that the emperor has doubts about you. When it comes to transfer, from Fan Que to Jian Que, does this prove that his thinking is justified? He will not do what you arranged , and there is no serious malice, just let it go." Dorji suddenly realized, and smiled: "The Han people are feminine and cunning, my grandmother told me that I didn't feel it when I came out to fight, and the more I became a civil servant, the more I saw it Half of this kind of ghostly heart is used to work, and I don't know how good things are in the world! I have never been afraid of fighting on the battlefield, and thinking about these Han people in secret, I can't help but be shocked!" Glancing at Fan Shijie, he laughed again. : "Old Fan, don't be offended, of course you are another matter."

"The weird Ha Panlong told me to be careful of the villains around you." Yin Jishan's eyes shone brightly, "He said that someone here wrote him a letter, insinuating and accusing me of my shortcomings. He also praised Neqin for many good things-so that's why People! This bastard is so no joke! You all saw it with your own eyes, and I single-handedly picked him up. In less than ten years, he became a high-ranking official from the county magistrate. What can we do with him?" Fan Shijie said coldly: "It's not a matter of being right or wrong. It's his nature. Mr. Wu was in Nanjing, and I was chatting with me about the Twelve Skills of Climbing the Dragon in Officialdom. This technique is famous, and it's called one by one worshiping Buddha across the mountain!"

Yin Jishan originally wanted to change the subject, but when he heard the title of "The Twelve Techniques of Climbing the Dragon", he found it fresh and couldn't help laughing: "Old Fan has a dog treasure in his belly, and he just took it out now! It's unheard of, please tell me about it." Details!" Fan Shijie smiled, and said: "The twelve skills, there are positive and negative, and ordinary and strange, roughly divided into two categories. The second category is for licking hemorrhoids, and the second category is for selling anti-surgery medicine." Dorji Said: "This name is so strange!" Yin Jishan said: "This 'hemorrhoid licking' class has learned, it must be a flattering meaning, and those who can't sell turtle hand medicine can't think about it for a while."

"Someone offered a prescription to the king of Chu. This medicine is called Buguishou medicine, and it can prevent frostbite when applied on the hands. The army of the king of Chu is in the south, and when it is cold and freezing in the north, the soldiers' hands will not crack. So it is called' Can't sell turtle hand medicine'." Qian Du said with a smile, "This licking hemorrhoids—" Before he finished speaking, Yin Jishan had already laughed, "I already know that the king of Chu will give five rides to those who can't make turtle hand medicine; The king of Chu got hemorrhoids, someone licked his hemorrhoids and treated him, thinking that he loved me, so he had to ride a hundred times. This is from here—there is a story, good!" Dorji understood now, and said with a smile: " Even the ability to get promoted is one set, really amazing! The king of Chu is wise! Those who donate medicine will be rewarded with five rides, and those who lick their ass will be rewarded with one hundred rides!" Yin Jishan said again: "That's natural, because you don't have hands. Although the medicine is good, it is of no use to the King of Chu; if he licks hemorrhoids, he will be very useful——Shi Jie, you haven't mentioned the twelve skills of getting promoted to the dragon!"

Fan Shijie looked out at the dark rainy night outside through the curtain, pointed rhythmically with his fingers, and said word by word: "The Twelve Techniques of Promotion to the Dragon, also known as 'Secrets in the Officialdom and Room', have—creating robbery and taking advantage of the situation, flooding the golden mountain , Surging waves piled up on the shore, Smiles all over the city, Bend the bow on the cliff, Farewell My Concubine, Drink the grass and get drunk, Worship Buddha across the mountain, Tears in Linqing, Fishing and killing families, Squeezing oil from the stone, Carving bow Sirius and other names. Saying worshiping Buddha across the mountain is one of the common methods. For example, if you are a county magistrate and you want to be promoted to a magistrate next step, you must never follow the path of a magistrate. When the Tongzhi wants to be promoted to the magistrate, he has to hold the magistrate's boss Daotai to fight the magistrate; when he becomes the magistrate, he will never flatter Daotai, but directly contact the Sanfa Division, and kick off Daotai! This is a step-by-step promotion. When you come up, you will always get rid of the immediate boss, and you will come up by yourself. So Zhang Qiuming used to flatter you, because he was still a Hangzhou Taoist at that time, thinking about the lack of standard yamen; now he I was thinking about governors and governors, so I had to go across your 'mountain' to worship the 'Buddhas' of Fu Heng and Neqin. Think about it carefully, is what I said wrong?" Yin Jishan fell down with a smile, thinking Thinking about Zhang Qiuming's resume, it is indeed so impressive, and he couldn't help sighing: "Mr. Wu is really a generation of heroes, who can understand the hearts of the world! I just don't understand, 'squeezing oil from the stone' must be working hard, outstanding and then seeking promotion Did you?" "No - yes! Where did you think!" Fan Shijie said, "Squeezing oil from the stone is for Shangguan's sake, and he is more thoughtful than Shangguan himself. This is specially for dealing with confused bosses. Bosses are shrewd. You have to 'look like an idiot' in front of you. Smart people can't tolerate smart people, so you have to pretend to be a fool-a proper big fool. If you look naive in front of smart people, he will think you have no chest and are reliable, so he will be promoted to an official! "

"Then - what about drinking roughage and getting drunk?" Dorji asked. "Drinking rough and getting drunk is pink kung fu." Yin Jishan replied with a smile from the side: "Su Wunu married a very beautiful wife back then. Everyone wanted to get him drunk and tease his wife, but they couldn't get drunk. Wu Nu said "As long as you give me more money, you can drink noodle soup (coarse) and I'll get drunk, so why bother to drink?" "Daoerji laughed out loud.Qian Du patted his knee with his fan bone, and said with a smile, "My student has read a lot! I'm ashamed to compare myself to Mr. Wu! After listening to the instruction for twenty years, today's official position is no lower than that of Yin and Fan!"

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Yin Jishan took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said: "The matter of Tongzheng must not be missed, and it is all handed over to Lao Fan. The copper from Yunnan must be shipped over quickly. Qian Duxian and the two brothers have a look at us If the mold is not enough, you can make some more. If you can’t cast it for a while, store the copper ingots in the warehouse—if you can trust me, I will never use it to cast copper wares.” Everyone stood up. Farewell, Qian Du said with a smile: "Of course you won't, I'm going to impeach you for those brazen utensils in charge of the treasury. Is that copper? It's made of miners' blood! !" "Don't worry." Yin Jishan walked the guests to the corridor slowly. Seeing everyone going out, he looked at his pocket watch again, called Goshha and said: "Call Nanjing City Gate Leader, Jiangning Prefect, um... and Jiangnan Camp The Xuanwu Lake Marine Division is in charge, and they must arrive here for a meeting within an hour." Qian Du was thinking about Yunyun from Caifeng Tower, but he didn't dare to delay his official errand. From the next day, he went to see Fan Shijie, delivered the copper and silver, signed and sealed the letter, went to the bank to check the quality of the silver, packed it in a box and sealed it, Supervising everything is accompanied by Dorji.Dorji saw him go through them one by one, and he was meticulous about the account transfer and silver. After all, he didn't find any faults. He said with a smile: "I'm really worthy of the money devil! We have used Jiangning silver ingots for hundreds of years, and you are asked to pick out the lack of quality? "Qian Du laughed and said: "This is called the villain first and the gentleman second. This time I know the old background of your Jiangnan treasury. Those big oak boxes in the back treasury are all ingots, right? I think twenty million Even if you don’t want to be poor, where do you get so much money?” "Just look over there." Dorji smiled, and pulled Qian Du up the ladder to the sentry box on the top of the warehouse, pointed to the edge of Xuanwu Lake, and said, "Look, just the edge of Xuanwu Lake is There are more than 300 weaving workshops and 3,000 hectares of mulberry forests to the north. Except for a little bit of tribute to Da Nei, the Ning silk woven here is shipped overseas for gold and silver. In Europe, one tael of silk satin is exchanged for one Two golds!——If you look further north, the area surrounded by fog along the river is the Jinling Wharf. Tens of thousands of day laborers are porters. Tea and Jiangxi porcelain are packed and exported on a ship. A boat is full of water, and a boat of porcelain can be exchanged for less than half a boat of silver. Once the silver is imported, it is transported in that way and turned into silver ingots for storage. The oak wood boxes you mentioned are all in! Yuan Chang said, earning Chinese money The money is called a cannon, not a skill. It is really capable to earn foreign gold and silver dollars! In the past three to five years, the customs lijin is more than ten times that of Kangxi's heyday! Yuan Chang, that is really capable, and we are reluctant to bear it. He's leaving!" Qian Du couldn't help sighing, and said, "There's Li Youjiu in the front, and Yin Yuanchang is here, the Jiangnan people are really blessed. I thought you were still pointing at the Qinhuai River to collect the night tax for brothels!" "Li Wei's Cleverness comes from nature, and Yin Gong has a high talent and is eager to learn, which is different." Dorji said: "It's a pity that Li Wei, the mansion reported that he was critically ill the day before yesterday, and he has already passed the will. It seems that it is useless. It's time for a person who is only forty-six years old to work hard!" "Don't talk about other people's words." Qian Du thought about Li Wei's illness. He was kind to him in the past, but now he can't take care of him, and he couldn't help feeling sour. It is necessary to transport a thousand large carts first, and the waterways follow slowly. It is not a trivial matter to levy carts and boats—as well as the handles of the mules and horses. He handles things very meticulously and quickly. It’s meaningless to report to Master Fu Liu. I think the old man is also a sincere person. Let me remind you. Starting tomorrow, we will visit your money-making furnace one by one, and then I will write a booklet to report to the emperor. " Dorji took Qian Du down the steps and walked down the sentry box, and said with a smile, "Aren't you in a hurry? Urge us all in the province and Taiwan to turn our backs! You are also one of the twelve skills of climbing a dragon in officialdom, right?" Qian Du said with a smile: "It can be regarded as a category that can't sell turtle hand medicine. You may not be able to meet good children even if you are too busy. Some people are born with blessings. For example, Xiao Lu, at most, is just a material for a servant. I heard that Yuan Chang has already played the role , act like a woman, have no idea, talk and mutter, I really don't know which one Yuan Chang likes in him!" Dorji smiled and said: "You don't understand this, do you? Xiao Lu was recommended by Zhang Zhongtang. Come. Although Zhang Hengchen is not in charge now, he has been the Prime Minister of Taiping for 40 years after all, and Yin Yuanchang has to buy it! Xiao Lu has to go to escort the food this time. , not to make trouble with others, this advantage is also rare. Look, he is indispensable in the military merit protection case!" Qian Du shook his head with a smile as he walked: "I'm confused, I'm confused..." He said again: "I passed Mochou Lake a while ago, and saw that palace, it's really magnificent. I'm free in a few days, please take me for a visit, okay? ? I saw the mansion reported that it has been completed and accepted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The emperor came back from Chengde and made a decree. It will be difficult to go in and have a look after changing the defense of the Imperial Forest Army." "Okay." Dorji walked leisurely, sighing He breathed a sigh of relief, "As soon as you talk about Chengde, I think of the Horqin Grassland, and the large flocks of sheep and horses - really like white and dark clouds floating on the green sea. The horse racing, wrestling, Comparing arrows...no matter how close or close people are, they can say whatever they have in mind...and spirits and famous horses...it's not that I say Han people in front of you, Han people. It's better to deal with animals than to hang out in this group of people! "Qian Du laughed loudly, and said: "Good scolding! If you really want to lead troops, you can tell the master yourself that I am Mr. Accountant, and I can't handle this level. Tell you, Fu Liuye only wants to Leading the soldiers, you might as well repair the road with the uncle of the country, and you will have your name when the general is called, and then it will be a matter of course." Said that they had reached the pavilion outside the gate of the big warehouse, and the two bid farewell. It was already a quarter of noon, and Qian Du had no relatives or friends in Nanjing. When he returned to the Yamen of the Superintendent’s Office, he was tired of eating the meals in the common room, and he was too embarrassed to order small dishes. Thinking that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he rented a light bar in Xuanwu Lake. Take the boat, buy some watermelon and grapes, and order a few seasonal dishes, take the boat by yourself, throw three coins and silver dimes to Shao Gong, and wander around on the boat as you please.But the willows on the shore of the lake are dark, curling up like smoke, and countless waterfowl are flying, circling, grazing the water for food, or floating among the wild lotus, flapping their wings and chasing them.The sky and water are boundless, but it brings back his memories of the past, from being a teacher with Tian Wenjing, thinking of fleeing in a hurry in Dezhou that night, defecting to Li Wei and then to Liu Tongxun's family, and in between, he had a debate with Emperor Qianlong. He also personally went to execute Kaerqin according to the order, and traveled to and from Yunnan to refine copper and complete mines. At one time, he was full of sadness, and at another time, his blood was rushing. Dropped two bottles.Qian Du didn't drink much at first, but he was already drunk.The boatman helped him onto the shore, and walked half a mile along the shore with a staggering step. The cool wind hit his chest, making his head dizzy and unbearable. I feel that the boredom in the chest compartment has disappeared, but I still feel dizzy and my legs are weak.When I woke up, I realized that I was in the small street on the north shore of Xuanwu Lake, and the surroundings were already dark.He was dizzy and looking for a sedan chair on the street full of small vendors.After asking a few places, they all said that this area is full of poor people and there are no bars.Seeing mules and horses with ostrich cocoons all over the street, they went to rent horses and wanted to drive them into the city. "Ouch! Isn't this Master Qian?" Suddenly a woman's voice came from behind, Qian Du turned his head, looked at it for a long time before realizing it, and said with a smile: "It's Mama Cao! Why are you here, isn't Fengcailou doing business? " Cao bustard was wearing a white gown with trim and solid moon-gauze, she twisted her waist and smiled obsequiously, and said, "My lord, we in Jinling are having fun alone on this water pond! I thought we had forgotten about our Caifeng Tower! Is that so?" What’s the matter, the land at Fengcailou is precious, so it can’t be expanded. I think I’m getting old too, so I won’t be able to open a century-old courtyard? Just in the middle of making a living, I also opened a workshop, and I will have a decent home when I grow old. Master Qian, I see that you are drunk, and there are grass knots on your body and head. Come to my workshop to have a rest. Go to the city tomorrow!" Qian Du didn't want to go any further, so he said, "Then find a place to rest. I have something to do tomorrow, so tell Yunyun, I'll go see her tomorrow night." When Cao bust heard about Yunyun, she took out her gauze to wipe away her tears, and said with a choked voice, "This child is not blessed, and after a hard life, it is so easy to hope for success, so she went away! She was sold to me when she was twelve years old. ...Poor thing, my parents are gone, and my elder brother and sister-in-law can't afford to support her..." "Yunyun is dead!" Qian Du stopped, as if struck by a thunderbolt.His already pale face was glowing with blue light, and he stared at Bustard like a knife, "Are you afraid that someone harmed her? She has money and I'm not around, so she's jealous, isn't it?!" Cao Bust was caught by him He trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, where are you suspicious! If I hurt Yunyun, I can't hide from you, and dare to greet you? If someone hurts, I will say something harsh." , or you, Mr. Qian, killed her!" Qian Du was taken aback for a moment, and felt that Cao's words were not unreasonable, so he asked, "How did she die?" "Difficult labor." "Dystotocia!" Qian Du exclaimed, his whole body shook violently, "Whose one?" "you still need to ask!" "Is it a son or a daughter?" "It's a big fat boy, suffocating to death in his stomach..." "My son? My son!" Qian Du was suddenly confused, his head swelled up with a bang, and he stopped shouting out of composure. He raised his head and looked at the dark purple night sky, before lowering it for a long time The head said sadly: "She went, and took away my... son... Our Qian family has had a hard time in terms of heirs. The four generations are single-passed... tied like a gossamer... My wife gave birth to three daughters. He also gave birth to a son who died in childbirth... Could it be that God told me that the Qian family would never succeed? Ah..." He let out a dry howl, tears streaming down his face. Cao Bust was silent, listened to him quietly, and said slowly: "There is no way to do this. However, there is a Taoist here named Bu Xu, who is the master of the Zixia Temple. The fate of life and death. The nearby weaving workshops have been haunted by ghosts at night recently. The female ghosts whimpered in the middle of the night, crying so hard that people had rashes. The female workers in my workshop were too scared to get together all night. Invite him to check in. Since you are here, it is also fate, so please ask him to show you the horoscope, okay?" As he said, he turned into a dark alley, and saw someone coming up with a lantern, but it was the original Shi Cheng, the bastard of Fengcailou.Seeing that it was Qian Du holding the lamp, Shi Cheng narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "My lord, Bu Xu has a good nose! I wondered why grandma didn't come back after being away for so long, so I came out to meet him." Buxu told me that you met a noble person on the road and came back together. I still don’t believe it, but it’s true! Please, please..." He led the way with the lights on. So Qian Du followed and walked in, walking back and forth in the alleys like a ecstasy array.This place seems to be a world of looms. Every few feet, at most a dozen feet, you can see a dim yellow lamp hanging on the door, illuminating the road full of sewage in front of the door.On the lamps, there are thousands of words about Wang's weaving workshop, Cai's weaving workshop, and He's weaving workshop... The sound of the looms is all in one piece.Qian Du couldn't help asking: "Such a narrow road, how can cocoons be transported in, and how can fabrics be transported out?" "Then go through the back door, enter silkworm cocoons, transport silk, and travel to and from Xuanwu Lake, which is very convenient!" Cao bustard said with a smile: "This side is for workers to go in and out, and there is a muddy pond full of livestock dung and urine, so it's not easy to go. people." "There are some women kneeling in front of some people's house. What's the matter?" "Those who violated the rules were kicked out of the workshop and punished to kneel. They are all refugees. They don't know how to make a living, and they don't have a backer. The troubles here are endless! Master, Mrs. Namo, layer by layer, you can control it however you want!" Qian Du had recovered from the grief of Yunyun's death, and sighed: "A thousand voices can't fill a foot, who weaves the clothes? It's not easy! Is your weaving workshop so ruthless?" You are not ruthless, the price of other weaving workshops is lower than yours, who are you selling them to?" Cao bustard said with a smile: "My lord, you just wear silk and wear clothes, what do you care about his account!" While speaking, he had reached the gate of a weaving workshop. Sure enough, I saw a beige watermelon lantern, but the doorway was wider than other houses, and there were five or six women kneeling there, the older one was about forty years old, and the younger one was only twelve or thirteen years old, all of them were filthy.Cao bustard said as she stepped over the threshold, "Get up and do your work, tell the boss that I called you back—go, go!" Those female workers thanked and kowtowed, and Qian Du followed into the courtyard, only to see that it was a spacious courtyard house with green halls and tiled houses, with eight palace lanterns hanging on the surrounding corridors.Qian Du walked into the hall and said, "It's not good to be too strict. You should know how to combine leniency with strictness. Your silk and satin can be weaved quickly. If you don't believe me, try it. They hate you in their hearts, and they have nothing to do with you, so they make a small trip." My son, break a machine comb today, and weave a second cloth tomorrow, and women will kill people if they are in a hurry——There are several embroidery workshops in Suzhou, and the owner of the workshop has a son, and the son's penis is quietly twisted off Yes, I was born as an eunuch—even if I can’t kill you, people will suffer, and medical treatment will cost money. Wouldn’t it be better if the workers had this money to eat, and I would double the work for you?” Cao bustard said with a smile: "Master Qian's family must be making money every day! You are so good at settling accounts, master, I have seen thousands of people, and you are never careful." "I am more than making money every day!" Qian Du was mostly drunk by now, Seeing a Taoist priest sitting in the hall, he knew it was Buxu, so he said: "But it's not mine—this Taoist priest must be Buxu?" , wearing a Xueyang scarf, wearing a black Taoist robe, about twenty years old, with a face like a crown jade, with a good bearing, a pair of small pupils shining brightly, staring at people as if they want to see people into the bones.Qian Du said solemnly again: "The Immortal Elder has a high reputation, and he has been admiring him for a long time! I heard that the Elder is good at wind learning, maybe you can take a look at it for me?" Buxu had already stood up, bowed calmly to Qian Du, and sat down with his robes on. The bustard Cao just sat on a low seat beside him, ordering some snacks and tea.Buxu said: "Your Excellency, you are worthy of the sky, why use Taoist priests to talk? Tonight Taoist priests specially cleaned the house for the weaving workshop, expelling ghosts and demons, so you have to calm down. Layman is interested, how about tomorrow?" Cao bustard laughed and said: " Mr. Qian still has a business trip tomorrow! The Fragrant Mounting Shop said that the large sandalwood incense has been ordered, and they rushed to make it all night, and it will be delivered tomorrow morning. Since we met here, it is destined, why don't you show the master a look? "Qian Du laughed and said: "It's also a pleasure to talk about life. A gentleman asks about the evil, not the good, and the Taoist just speak boldly!" "That's presumptuous." Buxu said.He stood up, moved the candlestick to Qian Du's side, took a serious look at Qian Du, pinched his fingers and recited the formula, lowered his eyes and meditated, and said: "The layman's heart is upright, Saturn is bright, and he is happy to be promoted recently. Bai Er Black face, the master layman is famous all over the world, but Wenchang is not bright, you can’t help becoming famous. The officials and ghosts in Xixu are rich, and you started with money. The place where seven or seven died, six or eight Ding Wang met, and the heirs are It is very difficult. As far as fame and fame are concerned, you will be handed over between fifty-ninth and sixty-ninth, and you will have great luck when you are close to knowing your destiny. From now on, you still have ten years to be a good official. There is no distinction in fate. Officials cannot be the best, and there are ranks that are difficult to climb up. Wealth cannot be prosperous in all directions. I lament in vain at the Tongshan Mountain. Knowing its entry and guarding its exit, knowing its inability to do nothing. The concubine Kang Ning lived his life. "After that, we had tea. After hearing this, Qian Du fell silent.Mrs. Cao said: "That's it? I don't quite understand. You just said 'there are steps that are difficult to climb', so it looks like you can't climb the ladder? What does this mean? Isn't it more strange that you can't make a fortune if you have a copper mountain What?" "Can't you believe me?" Buxu's eyes were like lightning, which disappeared in a flash, and he said to Cao bustard: "Let me tell you about what happened to layman Qian - your sun and moon are all dark, and you died at the age of six. Mother, lost her father at the age of ten. Died in different years, but the same month and the same day. Born in different years, but died at the same age. The fate is incomparable. You grew up with your uncles and parents, and you went to school at the age of nineteen, so you know that they are not Biological parents. I won’t talk about your future official career. Your hairline is tight, the heaven is not wide, and the Lord has floods. You have been submerged in the water at least three times. Parents and children, but my aunt later gave birth to twin brothers, so she had the heart to drive you out. You have been away from home for so many years and have not returned. I also regret this. But when you came, the nine-year nurturing grace was thrown away. It’s called forgetting people’s great kindness, and counting people’s small mistakes, so God has the punishment of cutting salary. After ten years of luck, you should retreat bravely and repay the love of these nine years, so that this life will be safe!” The more Qian Du listened, the more he admired him inexplicably , even these little-known thoughts, he has revealed them one by one.He blushed a bit, sipped tea to cover up: "Sir, you are brilliant! I said that I don't care about words. However, I have no heirs, so I ask you to give me some advice, how to solve it, and how to get a son?" "There is a law in everything. There is no reason for having children, and there is no reason for not having children." Bu Xu said, "You were destined to have a son. It's a pity that you killed too many people, and the tomb in front of the door is full of ghosts , no one dares to reincarnate. I will write a talisman for you, and you send it home, or take your wife out, burn the talisman for her, drink it with realgar wine, and see what happens." After saying that, he got up and went to the table Lifting the cinnabar pen, after a little thought, the pen draws a talisman.Give money.Qian Du took it carefully with both hands, folded it up and put it in his sleeve, and took out five taels of Nanjing zizi, put it on the case, and said, "It's not a respect, but it needs to be used for incense. I wish to make friends with the Taoist priest, and I will be sure in the future." I went to the temple to thank you, and there are many places to ask for advice." Buxu was not inferior, and accepted the money happily, and said to Cao bustard: "When you just entered the door, the words that Master Qian advised you were all wise words, with the word '利' on them, it is not from my sect. Patriarchal law, but benevolence and compassion are the principles of heaven. I saw your house, and it turned out to be a messy graveyard. If it weren't for the other weaving workshops who forced people to death every day and had a replacement, you would have had a big problem here. There is nothing to do tonight , you and the two of you send me back to the Shangqing Temple, where I am pure in heart, to eliminate the sins here for you, and to remove the accumulated filth for Lord Qian." After saying that, he stood up and left.Qian Cao sent it straight to the alley, and watched as Shi Cheng sent two servants with lamps to send him away. When Qian Du came back with Cao Bust, he looked at his watch and pointed at the three o'clock of Haizheng. Mrs. Cao wanted fruit tea again. After talking for a while, he talked about Yunyun again.Qian Du asked Yunyun carefully about the situation after the farewell, and then he realized that it was a blood collapse after dystocia.This is a difficult disease for doctors, so he has no choice but to accept his fate.He also heard from Mrs. Cao that Yunyun was talking about herself at the end of her life, fearing that she would be beaten to death in Yunnan by Tongshan miners, Qian Du burst into tears again.Cao bustard, who has been in the courtyard for eighteen years, is the most proficient in Xiaoyier. While comforting Qian Du, he also fetches snacks and twists a hot towel to serve Qian Du, making Qian Du happy again.Cao bustard took the opportunity to enter Hong Kong, frowned and said with a coquettish smile: "Master Qian, you are too stupid! Death is like a lamp going out, and it is affectionate to treat her wholeheartedly. Why be so sad? What matters is your body!" Wipe it up, wipe Qian Du's sweat with a sweat towel, and lightly press Qian Du's shoulders with his chest intentionally or unconsciously.Qian Du is a single man away from home, so he can't help being somewhat tempted.Yin said with a smile: "I think you are a little bit of a wave. I am not in the mood today! Go back to sleep!" "I'll be a widow when I go back, so you'll be an orphan." Cao bustard pursed her lips and smiled, "how lonely is that? If you think I'm ugly, let's play riddles, play tricks, and fall asleep when we fall asleep, how about it?" Qian Du I have never paid attention to her, but looking at her under the light at this time, Cao bustard is less than forty years old, with slender shoulders and slender waist, high breasts, wrists and arms as white and delicate as ivory jade, and there are some fish scales at the corners of her eyes, which cannot be seen under the light at all. come out.At this time, the woman was on fire, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were expressive.Qian Du smiled and said: "Young lady, she still has the charm! The boss must have a special flavor when picking up the guests." Cao bustard sticks to Qian Du's body softly like glue sticks, and blows out the light in a "pow" sound, "Come on. Well... this is five hundred years of fate..." Qian Du let out a strange cry, and suddenly pressed her under him... ① Shaking head old man: that is, "Tongzhi", because his status is slightly lower than that of the magistrate, and he has no actual power.
