Chapter 16 Visionary
"By the way, I forgot to introduce this. This is the sister Yang Xuqiu, and this is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Miss Gao Xinrong, Gao."
The three of them nodded slightly, and they had seen the ceremony.
"It is said that the abbot Wuyou from Baituo Temple is cooking vegetarian food himself. Third brother, let's go together."
The vegetarian rice cooked by Abbot Wuyou is a unique vegetarian rice cooker in Kyoto, and some pilgrims even come from all over the place just for this vegetarian rice.
But Abbot Wuyou is older and he is having sex once a month. It may not be that day, but they caught up today.
"Jing Yun should be together too."
Although men and women have different seats, Yang Xiuyu is still eating vegetarian food in the temple, which is not beyond the rules.
"Then let's go together."
Gao Xinrong widened his eyes. The prince who usually keeps people thousands of miles away actually agreed to have dinner with them?
Then can this meal still be delicious!
Because of the noble guests, a separate Zen room was set up to deliver the food here.
Yang Xuqiu thought to himself: This wealth is good, it is good.
But what Yang Xuqiu didn't expect was that the one who brought the vegetarian food was not the little monk, but the abbot Wuyou.
"Abbot"
Everyone saluted.
"I heard that there are distinguished guests visiting today. It's not rude to the old monk's vegetarian meal." After saying this, Abbot Wuyou glanced at Song Jingyun almost unpredictably.
If it weren't for this money, he wouldn't have to cook this table of food today.
"Abbot Wuyou is intent."
Yang Xuqiu looked at the gray-haired abbot in front of him, and he had to cook for them when he was old. Yang Xuqiu felt very uneasy.
"Miss is so polite."
Abbot Wuyou looked over and looked at her carefully, but his face was full of seriousness.
This woman is not ordinary.
"Can the girl listen to the old monk?"
"Abbot, please speak."
Wuyou sighed lightly and said, "Miss is precious in her life, and she will definitely be rich and powerful in this life. But don't be too obsessed with it, so let the past disappear."
He saw it! But how can it disappear?
But I was also rich in my previous life. First, I was the legitimate daughter of the Yang family, then the sixth prince's concubine, and then the queen of Dajin. But what was the final result? It wasn't the family that was destroyed!
"What the master said is our province."
How could Wuyou not know that the hatred that was still surging in her heart at this moment. The so-called hatred is not so easy to let go.
"This jade pendant is given to the girl. I hope the girl will evade her heart as soon as possible." Abbot Wuyou took out a blood-colored jade pendant from his arms. If you look carefully, you will even feel that blood is slowly flowing.
Yang Xuqiu reached out to take it, and this jade was really not an ordinary person.
"I hope this jade can save the girl's disaster."
"Thank you, abbot." Yang Xuqiu bowed deeply, the gift was sincere.
After Abbot Wuyou left, Yang Xiuyu was no longer calm.
"What does the abbot mean, what obsessions and disasters mean?" Seeing this, Yang Xuqiu knew what the abbot meant.
"Whose life is smooth sailing? The abbot is just kind to remind me. Third brother, don't make a fuss too much, lest my mother be worried when she finds out." Yang Xuqiu said lightly, holding the jade pendant.
Yes, if my mother knew about this, wouldn’t she be frightened every day?
I have to say that Yang Xuqiu is very good at grasping people's weaknesses.
But Song Jingyun would not believe what she said, but he would tell what was going on in person and ask the abbot later.
Seeing that the three of them had their own thoughts, Gao Xinrong interrupted and said, "Abbot Wuyou's vegetarian food is cold but it's not delicious. Don't stand there."
Sure enough, this vegetarian food is many times better than what I have tried on weekdays. It was the first time Gao Xinrong tasted it, and he liked it tightly.
However, many years of rules made her sip when eating. She turned around and saw that Yang Xuqiu was more elegant than her when eating. Is this a talent?
He did not speak or talk, especially in front of strangers, Yang Xuqiu followed the rules.
After eating, Yang Xuqiu was a little lazy. Wu Yan brought the newly brewed tea.
I was thirsty just now and didn’t have time to taste it. Now I can taste it again.
"The prince and the abbot know each other." Yang Xuqiu narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.
"How do you say this?" Song Jingyun did not directly answer her question, and this would be considered a default.
"It's just a guess." The word "Gu" in the abbot's mouth just now seemed to have a bit of gritting teeth. If the two of them were familiar with each other, they wouldn't have been like this.
Obviously, Yang Xuqiu didn't want to say more about how he saw it, and Song Jingyun didn't ask.
"I have benefited a lot from this vegetarian meal today, and I know that every thread is not easy to get."
Yang Xuqiu's topic has changed so quickly.
"That is, food and grass are the capital for the people of Dajin to make a living."
Dajin has abundant salt and iron ore, but there are many mountains and there are not abundant grains and grass. Therefore, their grain and grass are exchanged for iron tools from the small countries next to them.
"Can the prince know how much grain is stored in Dajin now and how long can it take?"
"Sister, this matter..." Only court officials can discuss it. It is not possible for people like him who have not yet achieved fame.
Prefect Song Jingyun interrupted Yang Xiuyu and said, "It's okay, we're just chatting."
He always felt that Yang Xuqiu would not mention food and grass for no reason: "Now the food and grass for Dajin's national treasury is enough for Dajin's people to use for half a year. By this autumn, Dajin's planting will also harvest a lot, which is enough for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."
"You have heard of the prince. Born in trouble and death in peace, it is better to plan ahead." Yang Xuqiu frowned.
In the 29th year of Zhenghe, locust plague was in great height and famine came. That year, many people starved to death. Suiguo took the opportunity to launch an attack, and the border areas were in trouble.
She asked herself that she was not the kind-hearted person, but that she would have finished her eggs when she collapsed her nest. Today, she mentioned this prince. If she succeeded, it would not only help the people, but also a contribution of the prince.
Yang Xiuyu pondered for a moment and said, "Now Da Jin has a stable position in all countries, so there is no need to worry so much." He had traveled to various countries before, and as long as he had left Da Jin's path, no one would be in a dilemma.
"The third brother also said that it is now. What if the Dajin is in a little in danger in the future? Can it still be like this?" Yang Xuqiu paused and said, "Food and grass are the first of people's livelihood, and the prince thinks three times."
In fact, Song Jingyun also thought about this, but the emperor felt it was unnecessary. The emperor had been in charge of Dajin for nearly thirty years, and the people lived and worked in peace and prosperity in the country. He could be called a wise ruler.
But no one dared to offend him in recent years, and he was getting older, which made him a little arrogant.
"Miss Yang has a broad mind, and Jing Yun will definitely think about it carefully."
Song Jingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Yang Xuqiu was smart, but he didn't expect that her thoughts would be used here.
"Since I have said it, I will remind you again. If this matter is done, it is best to do it quietly in private, so as not to alarm the people and cause panic."
Yang Xuqiu's reminder certainly makes some sense, but more importantly, if other small countries knew about it, they would inevitably think that Da Jin was preparing for the war.
Song Jingyun stroked his hands: "The daughter of General Minghui is indeed extraordinary and has a long-term vision."
How could Yang Xiuyu not be proud when he heard this? Her sister is a person who has seen it for a longer time than the men in the court.
"The prince praised it."
Yang Xuqiu looked faint and did not feel any pride or shy because he was praised by the prince.
