Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 201 The prince visits the Medicine Buddha statue!
Chapter 201 The prince visits the Medicine Buddha statue!
Today’s New Moon and Full Moon Dynasty was an opportunity for Emperor Shunde to bring Jia Cong and the Kong family together.
Let the two families finish their fight quickly!
The city of Shenjing cannot remain in this urgent state of panic forever.
In addition, each time the formation is activated, the consumption is not small.
There had been a round of confrontation before the court meeting.
Kong Yanjin is not here.
When attending court, Emperor Shunde took the opportunity to announce the hunting event in the Western Hills during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After morning.
As usual, Xia Shouzhong was ordered to invite Jia Cong and his three companions to the imperial study.
They were not allowed to leave until noon when they had lunch together.
This time, Jia Cong’s senior sister “Miao Yu” is present.
Emperor Shunde also spent a lot of money.
The meat of the great monster treasured in the royal secret vault was specially used to cook it into a delicacy.
Even outside the imperial study, there were more than twenty young eunuchs busy serving Jia Cong’s mount, Dabai.
The fourth level demon king!
It can no longer be viewed simply as a mount.
……
“Master, the eldest prince is here to visit!”
As soon as I got home, I saw Yuanyang guarding the porch.
Go forward and report in a low voice.
Now the formation of the Marquis’ Mansion is in a semi-activated state all day long, and the civil and military judges need to sit at the center of the formation.
Always be vigilant.
Yuanyang took on the responsibility of housekeeper again.
She was taught by Lady Jia since she was young, and she had also been in charge of Lixiangyuan for a period of time before.
It’s just that there are more people in charge.
The people in this mansion are not like the Rongguo Mansion before, where the rules are strict.
It was done quite well.
“The eldest prince?”
Jia Cong thought for a moment and then understood.
Starting from tomorrow, the three princes will take turns to observe government affairs in the six ministries.
In his spare time, he would come to the academy in Jia Cong’s mansion to study.
Of course, the fact that he was studying there was fake, and the real reason was that he wanted to make himself familiar to Jia Cong.
Look, Baihu just broke through yesterday, and today he couldn’t wait to come and visit.
“I understand, Sister Yuanyang. We’ve already had lunch in the palace, so tell the kitchen not to prepare it.”
Jia Cong gave an order casually.
“I know, Master!”
Yuanyang looked at Jia Cong’s calm and composed appearance, with a look of fascination in her eyes.
Yuanyang’s father and brother were originally servants of the Rongguo Mansion, and they looked after the house at the Jia family’s old house in Nanjing.
Now he has been transferred to Baochai’s Princess Mansion in Nanjing as a housekeeper.
As a slave, the best outcome for me in the future would be the position of a concubine.
Just now, when the servants were serving tea to the eldest prince, he was flattered and stood up to thank him.
Such decency is beyond the imagination of a maid.
After all, it was Jia Cong who brought it.
……
Jia Cong asked Baochai and Miaoyu to go back to the back house first, and then came to the main hall of Tongxi Hall.
The eldest prince looked to be in his early twenties and was wearing casual clothes today.
A loyal and honest face.
Seeing Jia Cong coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted.
“Student Liu Qin, greetings to the teacher!”
“Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite!”
“Your Majesty has only asked the eldest prince to study at the academy in this mansion. It is too early to establish the relationship between master and disciple!”
Jia Cong waved his hand and sat down in the main seat.
Then he continued, “Sit down and talk!”
“Thank you teacher!”
Liu Qin was humiliated, but he didn’t take it to heart at all.
He thanked me first, and then sat down carefully, with only half of his butt touching the chair.
His expression was extremely respectful: “My father told me to respect my teacher as a teacher, regardless of whether the teacher recognizes me or not.”
“Liu Qin didn’t even dare to show the slightest disrespect.”
“The eldest prince came here today, is there something?”
Not to mention that Jia Cong is now busy with many affairs, the Kong family is also approaching with great force.
But there is not much time to play tricks on a prince whose succession to the throne is yet to be decided.
“I came here today to pay a visit to the teacher!”
“Secondly, I got a treasure a few days ago.” “As the saying goes, good talents should be put to good use only by those with virtue.”
“I am not a good student, so I decided to offer this to my teacher!”
Liu Qin stood up and said.
After saying that, he took out a Buddha statue.
This is a palm-sized bronze statue of Medicine Buddha.
The workmanship is quite rough, with many spots of rust on it, and it looks very old.
There are densely packed inscriptions engraved on the Buddha statue.
At first glance, it was obvious that it had been refined using Xuanmen methods and its size had been reduced.
A barely perceptible gleam of light flashed across Jia Cong’s eyes.
It was discovered that the interior of the Buddha statue was filled with a large amount of mixed incense power.
It is obvious at first glance that it has been worshipped for a long time.
Maybe it was obtained from some famous mountain or ancient temple.
As far as Jia Cong knows, Buddhism is the sect that makes the most use of incense in this world.
Many of the magical powers of Buddhism require the absorption of a certain amount of incense power before they can be refined.
A Buddha statue like this is of inestimable value within Buddhism and will not be easily leaked out.
“I always act in a fair manner.”
“Tell me, what do you want from me?”
Jia Cong looked up at the eldest prince and asked.
“I don’t dare to ask the teacher for anything. I came here today to express my respect and to offer my treasure sincerely.”
“Only the teacher can make use of this treasure.”
“If that’s all the eldest prince wants to say, then take your things and leave.”
Jia Cong picked up the teacup slowly.
It expresses the meaning of serving tea to see guests off.
“This…” The eldest prince Liu Qin heard this.
This was the first time he showed a bit of panic since he entered the room.
“I know that I have little talent, so I want to use this treasure to exchange for the teacher’s protection of my descendants in the future.”
The eldest prince Liu Qin is twenty-three years old this year. He got married at the age of sixteen and now has a son and a daughter.
“Okay, I will accept this!”
“Thank you teacher!”
Seeing that Jia Cong agreed, Liu Qin quickly bowed in joy.
……
“Master, I don’t know what day it is today, but the Second and Third Princes are here too!”
“They all brought gifts for me.”
Just after seeing Liu Qin off, Yuanyang came in again and reported in a low voice.
The second prince Liu Ming and the third prince Liu Zheng came to visit.
There was something strange in his expression while speaking.
“Normal. Power moves people’s hearts, let alone that position.”
“Even if they get a little more chance, they won’t give up.”
Jia Cong had already guessed that there would be no peace today.
In fact, according to the rules, a visit like this should be made a few days in advance, with servants delivering the visiting card.
Come only at the agreed time for visiting.
Unfortunately, Jia Cong has been in seclusion these days because of the breakthrough of his mount.
And tomorrow is the day when the prince will enter the six ministries to observe government affairs.
In addition, since the eldest prince Liu Qin had already been here, the remaining two princes had no choice but to follow suit.
“The dispute over the succession…”
Jia Cong shook his head and glanced at Yuanyang who was staring at him infatuatedly.
He reached out and pinched Yuanyang’s pretty face with amusement.
“Sister Yuanyang, stop looking and have someone bring them in.”
“It’s a good opportunity for us to meet today. It will save us trouble in the future.”
“Ah, Master, you…”
“I’ll have someone bring them in right away.”
The mandarin duck was suddenly attacked and looked very embarrassed.
There was a mixture of joy in my heart.
This was the first time the two had such close contact since they entered Jia Cong’s room.
In this era, it is considered an extremely intimate act.
He quickly found an excuse and ran out of Tongxi Hall.
