Chapter 66: Sitting on a turtle and watching the sword with early winter, the battle in the Spring God Lake is noisy
Xu Fengnian doesn’t mind that he wears a python robe to strait the world. He just wants to be angry, scare to death, and beat those bastards to death.
The person who fulfilled his friendship with the landlords on Mount Wu was an old member of the Northern Liang army. He had no achievements in the military and had no intention of becoming a prosperous man after he went to business. He was rich in the state and could not even match those of the ten-generation clans. He once competed with a person with an imperial merchant background in the state for financial resources, which attracted countless scoldings and his saliva was comparable to half a Spring Shen Lake. The old man who held Xu Xiao’s horse back then was not conspicuous at first sight. He dressed like an ordinary person in the city, and he had no arrogance at all. After seeing His Royal Highness, he burst into tears and knelt on the flat ground at the ferry entrance. No matter how Xu Fengnian helped him, he just kept on the ground and cried, which made his wife, children and family members behind him dumbfounded.
Xu Fengnian knew the inside story. This old man named Wang Jia admired Xu Xiao very much, but also respected the princess from the bottom of his heart. He was also one of the lucky veterans in the Beiliang army who had seen His Royal Highness draw his sword with his own eyes. It is said that he is a pawn leading a horse, but the Xu family does not regard him as a servant.
The people who came out of the Northern Liang army ended up going to two extremes. Either you struggle at the bottom, even the little bit of food, oil and salt will be a headache; or you will be rich and powerful, and you will be truly unattainable. This is related to the dynasty’s complex psychology towards the Northern Liang army. It is mixed with fear and jealousy and many rejections, which makes people labeled as the Northern Liang army hold their anger after losing the protection of the Iron Cavalry. After finally paying more blood and sweat, they finally succeed and achieve success, they are often particularly sinister and cruel in managing their family, doing business, and doing politics.
Wang Linquan, who was kneeling in front of Xu Fengnian, is an example. In the Wang family, family law is far more important than national law, and governing a family is like governing an army. There was once a daughter-in-law who was simply driven out of the house by Wang Linquan, who ignored the wealthy clan behind his daughter-in-law, and even his son was dragged to the ancestral hall and beaten. Therefore, when the members of the Wang family saw the moody and cunning head kneeling towards a young boy, they were scared and cried on the spot, and they all guessed the identity of the white-robed young man.
His Highness, the Prince of the Northern Liang, would take a break in Mount Dao halfway through, so naturally only the snake king Linquan, the local snake of Mount Dao, was learned. All of these were arranged secretly by Lu Qiuer, and there should be no mistakes. Xu Fengnian looked up at a huge bottle-holding Guanyin on the top of Mount Wushan. It is said that it was built by Wang Linquan for ten years. This Jingfei Guanyin stepped on the yellow dragon, with a Vajra’s angry eyes and a Bodhisattva lowered her eyebrows, and picked up the seal with her right hand, pointing directly at the Spring God Lake.
Wang Linquan finally stood up, wiped away tears on his face, and bowed to lead the way for His Royal Highness the Prince, his posture was the same as that of Xu Xiao. So what if Wang Linquan is so rich today, he cannot forget his roots. Wang Linquan saw that the prince’s prince kept looking at the statue of Guanyin on the top of the mountain and said softly: “Report to your highness, Chunshen Lake is strange. For thousands of years, every February 2nd, there will inevitably be strands of water columns soaring into the sky. That day, no one dared to raft the lake. It is said that there is a Zhulong who was trapped at the bottom of the lake who was punished by heaven for the rain in the south of the Yangtze River. He should be subject to the thousands of people on earth.Autumn sin, this dragon did not accept the confinement of the Heavenly Court and made waves specifically on that day, so we all called the dragon raising its head that day. However, after the villain dared to invite the Empress Guanyin, there were no strange winds and waves in the Spring Shen Lake. “
No matter whether it is proficient or not, Xu Feng, whose knowledge is mixed, smiled and said, “On the second day of February, the horns begin to appear, and the blue dragon in the east is revealed, and the dragon raises its head. Therefore, there is a saying in ancient books that dragons are ascending to the sky as the vernal equinox. ”
“Your Highness is knowledgeable. “The wealthy Wang Linquan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, not flattering. The status of merchants in the dynasty is not high, but at the level of Wang Linquan, even if he sits at the banquet with the provincial governor, he does not need to bow down. Wang Linquan is known for his seriousness and revenge. It is as difficult for him to praise him as compassionately as he wants him to be compassionate. So once he is praised by him, whether it is a scholar who writes beautiful articles or an official who cares about the people, he is very happy and confident.
“It really looks like it. “Xu Fengnian said softly, “You are not afraid that the court will mislead your business.” “Earning one million or ten million is no different for the young. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, which can make them have no worries about food and clothing, and the young will be worthy of their ancestors. “Wang Linquan smiled. “You are open-minded. “Xu Fengnian withdrew his gaze and joked. “It’s all the basics I learned from the general and the princess, and I can’t bear the word “open-mindedness” of Your Highness. “Wang Linquan looked ashamed.
The Wang family’s residence has a deep courtyard, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and a misty and rainy style in the south of the Yangtze River. The mansion is still a distance from the top of the mountain, and it takes an incense stick to walk. After arranging Yu Youwei and others to stay, Xu Fengnian and Qingniao went to the Baiyu Guanyin Tower. Wang Linquan specially asked his youngest daughter Wang Chudong to lead the way. The 28-year-old woman born in Jiangnan was wearing a half-exposed breast skirt, with her upper breasts and back exposed, and her outer transparent yarn. Her underwear was faintly visible. The texture of the silk brocade was extremely exquisite and her colour was gorgeous. This outfit was originally popular in Dongyue, but now it was accepted by the noble ladies and socialites of the dynasty. In addition, famous poets contributed beautiful words such as “Leave white snow on the chest for a long time”, and the trend became more and more intense, and the woman gradually became bold in dress.
Wang Chudong, the rich daughter who was waiting to be a boudoir, opened her eyes wide and looked at Xu Fengnian at the ferry pier. She was not afraid of it at all. At this time, she kept chattering, like a little yellow oriole chirping. Wang Linquan had never told anyone about Xu Fengnian’s identity, so she only knew that the handsome young master in front of her was Xu, and she spoke one by one. Later, she simply called Brother Xu. Xu Fengnian didn’t mind either, smiling without saying a word, listening to the little girl’s crisp voice, and her mood was peaceful.
Finally, she came to the square where the statue of Guanyin stood with the pure bottle. The white jade Guanyin was glaring and lowered her eyebrows, which was vivid. Her right hand bent her elbow towards Chunshen Lake, stretched her five fingers, and her palms forward, as if giving to all living beings without fear.
Xu Fengnian sat cross-legged, and two young Kui lay on his knees.
The little girl, who was praised by the literary giant of this province as a daughter of the Wang family, squatted beside her., said with a pious look: “Brother Xu, Empress Guanyin is so amazing. She stood there and pointed to Chunshen Lake. There was no more water columns in the air during the vernal equinox. When I was a child, I was particularly afraid of February 2, and it was always thunder and rain. After having Empress, I could sneak to the lake to fish, cook tea, and enjoy the snow. Brother Xu, test you, do you know what the gestures of Empress Guanyin are given?”
Xu Fengnian, who is skilled in Buddhist allusions, looked up and smiled, “Send the Fearless Seal.”
Wang Chudong said, “I answered correctly.”
After seeing Mr. Xu finishing speaking, she was stunned and bored. She turned around and caught the maid in the blue-shirted family’s eyes. She said in surprise: “Brother Xu, why is this sister crying?”
Xu Fengnian came back to his senses and said softly, “Because this Guanyin Bodhisattva is like a person.”
Wang Chudong said oh, and no longer muttered with understanding.
At some point, Jiang Ni and the old sword god Li Chungang also arrived at the square.
Old Man Li glanced deeply and murmured, “This Bodhisattva’s fearless handprint can be regarded as a sword, with an unparalleled sword intent.”
Jiang Ni said calmly, “I can’t understand.”
Old Man Li looked at Xu Fengnian with a strange expression, and asked in confusion: “What’s wrong with that boy?”
Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, “This Guanyin Empress is very similar to the Princess of Beiliang.”
