This is not the Datang I am familiar with

Standing at Wu Meiniang's position at this time, in fact, the unhappiness with Mr. Xiao just now was just a matter of laughing it off.

The higher you stand, the more you think about it, and outsiders will feel that the two are at war.But the insiders actually had no troubles in their hearts.

Perhaps, this is the so-called city government.

Therefore, Chen Fang's worries were just superfluous between Wu Meiniang and Old Man Xiao.

Chen Fang talked to Mr. Xiao a lot along the way. When it came to rapeseed oil, Chen Fang saw Mr. Xiao stopped outside a courtyard. Mrs. Huijing had already knocked on the gate of the courtyard. So I stopped talking.

"Grandpa, does my mother live here?"

"Well! An'er, everything is fine with your mother here, and you'll know when you see her later."

At this time, the courtyard door opened, and several people looked at the woman who opened the courtyard door, a little nun.

"Is Junior Sister Huixian in there?"

"Abbot, here we are!"

The little nun stepped aside and looked at the group of people. It has been a long time since so many people came to the temple. Ever since the old man from the Xiao family came to Yunmeng Temple, she felt that the temple was full of incense and quarreled with Master Huixian. Qingxiu, the result is that within a few days, the incense in Yunmeng Temple faded.

At this time, few people came to Yunmeng Temple, but there was no shortage of all expenses in the temple, and people sent them every month, which was much better than before.

Moreover, the property of Yunmeng Temple has increased several times, all of which were gifts from the Xiao family.At this time, the temple's economic source mainly relied on the real estate in the hands of the temple. As for the sesame oil money, the big temples generally did not rely on this.

The little nun moved aside, and Master Huijing led a group of people into the courtyard. At this time, Chen Fang looked at the courtyard. The courtyard was very simple, with stone tables and benches, and a small piece of land planted many orchids. Concubine Xiao Shu At this time, I am loosening the soil for orchids in that small field.

Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head to see the people who came in, and nodded slightly to Wu Meiniang.

Over there, Gao An had already ran to Concubine Xiao Shu in a few steps, and at this time in front of the woman named Huixian.

"Mother!"

Gao An saw his biological mother at this time, and was already crying after reunion after a long absence. He threw himself into his mother's arms, and the tears could no longer stop flowing.

"An'er, stop crying!"

Concubine Shu stroked Gao An's hair, said a word of relief, and then looked at the crowd of people, some of whom she knew and some of whom she didn't.

"Empress, Your Highnesses, please sit inside!"

"Concubine Shu, stay safe!"

"Empress, at this moment, there is no Concubine Shu here, only Hui Xian!"

Wu Meiniang nodded, walked in front of Huixian, reached out her hand, and took Huixian's hand.

"I used to offend my sister in Chang'an..."

"Huixian has already entered the Buddhist sect, and she has stopped thinking about the worldly affairs of the past. Please come inside, and I will make tea for you."

"It's a good thing for my sister to let go of those things. Life is short and it's rare to be relaxed. Seeing sister Qingxiu at this time, my sister is a little envious."

"That empress will stay at Yunmeng Temple for a few more days!"

"My sister also has the same intention!"

At this time, Huixian took the initiative to hold Wu Meiniang's hand, the so-called smile to wipe away all grievances, roughly so, Chen Fang looked at Concubine Shu at this time, but he was also quite emotional.

Donggong met once, and felt that Concubine Shu had taken a lot of light. Seeing you now, I realized that Concubine Shu had experienced some things, but she realized it.

Hui Xian let the group of people into the house. At this time, old man Xiao saw his daughter and the queen smiling away their grievances, so naturally he didn't care too much.

The little nun served tea, and Chen Fang took a sip, but it was the top quality tea, no less than the tributes Jiangnan sent to Chang'an.

At this moment, I looked at old man Xiao, but I also understood that it was strange that he was here, and this tea could be served again.

Over there, Hui Xian was chatting with Wu Meiniang, at this time Old Man Xiao called Chen Fang, and continued to tell him what he was talking about just now.

The princesses and princes felt bored, Wu Meiniang looked at Huixian, and Huixian asked the little nun in the courtyard to take the princes and princesses to the temple.

There was no time for this gossip, and Huixian stood up when the sun was hanging over the distant mountains.

"My lady, there is only vegetarian food in the temple, I wonder if my lady can get used to it."

"Sister, Mei Niang..."

Just as Wu Meiniang said half a sentence, old man Xiao who was chatting with Chen Fang over there laughed out loud, leaning on the floor with a jujube stick in his hand, and said three serious sentences in a row.

"Grandpa, how could Chen Fang lie to Grandpa? Chen Fang felt that the land in the Yangtze River Valley is suitable for growing rapeseed all the way, especially in the Jianghan Plain, where the land is fertile and irrigation is convenient. It is a rare place to grow rapeseed in large quantities. .”

"But this oil press?"

"Grandpa, when the time comes, grandpa will select a few trusted servants of the Xiao family, and grandson-in-law will teach them how to extract oil."

"Good! Good! Good! My two granddaughters are well married. Haha, grandpa likes you, grandson-in-law."

Chapter 628

At this time, old man Xiao patted Chen Fang on the shoulder, and the two of them talked to attract the eyes of the surroundings. At this time, Huixian walked in front of old man Xiao.

"Chen Fang, it's rare for my father to praise a man."

"Good daughter, my grandson-in-law is different from other men."

"Father, it's getting late, let's go to the Zhaitang for dinner!"

"Good! Good!"

Old man Xiao got up and did not forget to pull his grandson-in-law. Today is less than half a day, but he likes his grandson-in-law very much.

At this time, Chen Fang naturally supported his grandfather. This is his own grandfather. When he married Yiyang and Gao An, he married the other's two granddaughters.

Chen Fang helped his grandfather to walk forward, and unconsciously looked at the jujube wood cane in his hand. Grandpa had been leaning on this cane all the time. Now that the distance was getting closer, he paid more attention, but found that the cane not only had a special shape, but also had a There are four engraved characters, the font is not big, but when Chen Fang saw these four characters, Chen Fang unconsciously took an extra look at his grandfather.

I am afraid that if you give birth to a noble girl early, there will be only one such engraving.Others are eager to seek a son, but this grandfather is eager to seek a daughter.The jujube wood crutches that I have been using all the time are actually engraved with the words "Zaoshengguinv".

Looking at the relationship between my grandfather and mother-in-law at this time, I understand that my grandfather may not like his son at home, but his own daughter.

It's no wonder that I have to live in Yunmeng Temple to accompany my daughter.And looking at Grandpa's attitude towards His Highness An just now, he really likes it, even his own grandson-in-law also likes it.

Chen Fang also sighed in his heart, his grandfather is a discerning person, he knows that his son is not as good as his daughter!This is the truth that many people in later generations have spent their entire lives to understand.

Walking all the way, Huixian accompanied Wu Meiniang, and old man Xiao dragged Chen Fang, and they arrived at the Zhaitang.

The dining hall of Yunmeng Temple is a large single room, but it is not subdivided. The abbot and the senior nuns in the temple all sit together with a group of young nuns to eat.

The fast food at Yunmeng Temple is considered to be the best among these temples in the south of the Yangtze River.At this time, with the support of the Xiao family, the fasting meal was naturally improved to a higher level.

There are more than [-] nuns sitting here, but no one is talking much at this time. Wu Meiniang and her party came in, and after getting into the atmosphere, they didn't talk much, but the abbot Huijing asked a few nuns to give up their seats, and the group sat down one after another. Down.

The sitting position is also very particular, Wu Meiniang is naturally the queen, she is in the right seat, and Hui Xian is next to her, but old man Xiao doesn't care much about the sitting position, Chen Fang and Gao An, the granddaughter and son-in-law, are naturally by her side.

The princes and princesses sat casually, while Feng Yi and Ding Yu sat on the periphery.

The food is simple, Chen Fang is also comfortable drinking rice porridge, eating side dishes, and peeling eggs.

Although there is definitely no meat in the temple, it is also a kind of adjustment for meat eaters to eat vegetarian food occasionally.

Chen Fang ate slowly, and everyone over there also ate slowly. At this time, he looked around and saw a large word "Jing" posted on the wall.

It is a good thing not to talk about eating, but how many people don't understand that the dining table is only a place to connect emotions.

After eating, Hui Xian and Hui Jing personally arranged for Wu Meiniang and her party to live. Yunmeng Temple is very large and has many spare rooms, so it is easy to accommodate Wu Meiniang and her party.

Wu Meiniang didn't have too many demands, as long as everyone lived together.It is convenient for Dingyu and Feng Yi to guard her. After all, her coming to Jiangnan is not a secret matter.

For the royal family who went out, safety was naturally the most important.

After arranging the residence, Mr. Xiao took Chen Fang to chat for a while before letting his grandson and son-in-law rest.

Farewell to Mr. Xiao, Chen Fang naturally came to Wu Meiniang's place immediately.Since they lived in Yunmeng Temple, Wu Meiniang only brought Xiaoyu, a maid, by her side. Of course, Zheng Jieyu also accompanied Wu Meiniang at this time.

Seeing Chen Fang come in, Wu Meiniang asked Xiaoyu to close the door.

"Chen Fang, what did you talk to the old man about?"

"It's all about Tang Gongfang. The old man is very supportive of Tang Gongfang opening a branch in the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't say much. I'd like to ask the empress first."

"The matter of Nangongfang would be much easier to handle with the support of the Xiao family. In Jiangnan, no matter what you do, you can't avoid the Jiangnan clan."

"Meiniang wants the Xiao family to participate in the construction of the South Workshop."

"Well, you are the grandson-in-law of the Xiao family, and this relationship is a good breakthrough. The old man also likes you very much. This time I brought you to Jiangnan, but I didn't expect it to have such an effect."

"Meiniang, I'm thinking that Nangongfang can actually serve as a good link between Chang'an and Jiangnan, making the connection between Jiangnan and Chang'an much closer."

"Oh, tell me in detail!"

Wu Meiniang was obviously interested, and now she took Chen Fang's hand and discussed this matter with Chen Fang carefully.

Zheng Jieyu asked Xiaoyu to step back, and she also sat beside her.At this time, Zheng Jieyu and Wu Meiniang had an irresistible relationship, and Wu Meiniang would never avoid her in anything.

"Today, I talked to the old man about a few things, planting rapeseed here in the Jianghan Plain, making clothes in the embroidery workshops in various parts of the Xiao family, and the construction of the South Workshop. I think the old man is very interested in these , the only thing that is uncertain now is that the old country head doesn’t care about the affairs of the Xiao family after all, and he doesn’t know what the Patriarch of the Xiao family intends to do about this matter, so he has to go to Lanling to find out.”

"No one in the Xiao family dares to disobey the old man's wishes. You don't have to worry about this. As long as the old man agrees, the Xiao family will agree."

"Meiniang, if this is the case, tomorrow I will have a detailed discussion with the old head of state, so that the construction of the South Workshop will start as soon as possible. As long as the South Workshop is completed, I am confident that the South Workshop can slowly penetrate into the life of the nobles in Jiangnan. In China, just like Chang'an, the nobles here cannot do without the South Workshop."

"Do you want the South Workshop to be the same as the North Workshop, and do those things?"

Chen Fang nodded. For him, no matter the south of the Yangtze River or the north, it is the land of China. Naturally, he hoped that Tang Gongfang would blossom everywhere in the land of China.

"Well, you are in charge of this matter. If one day, Nangongfang becomes the link between Chang'an and Jiangnan, you will make a great contribution."

Chen Fang said goodbye to Wu Meiniang, this is a monastery, some things are still not done, besides, Wu Meiniang has always respected the Buddha, and Chen Fang would not do that kind of thing that the Buddhist family would absolutely not tolerate here.

Farewell to Wu Meiniang, Chen Fang was practicing swordsmanship in a Buddhist temple, there was a white shadow there, Chen Fang put away the sword, and chased the white shadow away.

Bai Ying turned around at Yunmeng Temple and left Yunmeng Temple for a while, Chen Fang called out, that Bai Ying stopped, looked at Chen Fang, and then pointed in a direction.

Chen Fang felt that something attracted Xiao Bai, but after all, he couldn't go alone with Xiao Bai at night.

"Xiaobai, don't run away here, wait for me to call someone!"

Chapter 629

Chen Fang called Feng Yi and left Ding Yu in the temple.

At this time, Feng Yi followed Chen Fang, Xiaobai led the way, bypassed Yunmeng Temple, and walked to the back mountain, the top of the back mountain, Chen Fang saw Xiaobai lying on a rock, stretched out his fingers comfortably, Then lie down on that rock.

As soon as Chen Fang and Feng approached, they didn't find anything unusual.

"You guy, are you here just to find a rock to sleep on?"

Chen Fang stroked Xiaobai's soft pure white fur, but suddenly looked at the rocks. In early March, the moonlight of the first quarter moon naturally couldn't clearly illuminate the distant scenery, only the hazy mountain shadow, continuous ups and downs.

In the night wind, the sound of the waves of the Yangtze River can be faintly heard, which is like a dream in the wind.

But in the deep mountains filled with night, there is a large piece of light shining on the back mountain of Yunmeng Temple at this time, Xiaobai is lying there comfortably, Chen Fang feels that when it breathes, some fragmentary light enters its body .

"Feng Yi, did you see it?"

"I see, Lord Consort, no wonder Xiaobai ran here."

"what is this?"

"The aura of mountains, swamps and forests, I didn't expect Yunmeng Mountain to gather so much here, and the dense one can form fragmented luster."

"What's in it for us?"

"The son-in-law and I are here to double cultivate and understand!"

As soon as Feng Yi's voice fell, Xiao Bai suddenly stood up straight from lying down comfortably, his tail exploded as if someone had stepped on him.

Seeing Xiaobai like this, Chen Fang tightened the Tang knife in his hand, and the white phoenix in Fengyi's hand also unsheathed a third.

Xiaobai is a spirit fox, so he won't blow his fur for no reason, he must sense some threat around him.

Chen Fang and Feng Yi couldn't feel their backs facing each other at this time, they looked around, but it was late at night, there was no white moonlight, and although the stars were shining brightly, they couldn't see the surroundings clearly.

The two of them were a little worried at this time, and suddenly a Buddha's chant was heard from the direction of Yunmeng Temple, and Xiaobai's furred tail crawled down at this moment, becoming docile.

In the darkness of the night, a figure dressed in a moon-white monk's robe slowly walked towards here.

When Chen Fang saw the other party, he clasped his hands together and made a Buddhist salute.

"Two benefactors, there are many spirits and monsters in this mountain forest at night, please don't rush in, two benefactors."

"Thank you Mrs. Huijing for your reminder, Feng Yi, Xiaobai, let's go back!"

Chen Fang and Feng Yi turned and walked towards Yunmeng Temple, Xiaobai jumped into Chen Fang's arms at this time.

The two walked for a while, and Chen Fang touched the back of his neck, covered in cold sweat.
