Taiping Inn

After leaving Bai Xiushang, Li Xuandu's confidence increased greatly. Among the 12 sects of Zhengdao, Jing Zen, which was ranked by strength, was undoubtedly the last one. Qingwei Sect and Zhengyi Sect have the strongest strength, followed by Taiping Sect, Cihang Sect, Vajra Sect, Zhenyan Sect and other sects. , it is just because the foundations of Vajra Sect and Zhenyan Sect are far away in the Western Regions and their power in the Central Plains is not as strong as those of Cihang Sect and Taiping Sect. It just so happens that Taiping Sect and Cihang Sect are located in Luzhou and Jiangzhou. These two states are separated from the river and are also separated from Jiangnan and Jiangbei. They are natural middle-aged people.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su were strolling in Jinling Mansion, and Qin Su took out the hat that Li Xuandu gave her to cover her original appearance. In fact, she originally wanted to wear a mask of "white silk", but then she thought that Li Xuandu was also in the middle and superior position based on her appearance. Standing with him with such a mediocre appearance would make people look at it. , it is better to cover up the appearance directly. To be fair, Qin Su did not care about the Confucian ethics and education defense, nor was she afraid of being outstanding in appearance causing trouble. She simply was that she was naturally shy and easily shy.

Li Xuan knew Qin Su's temperament and did not force it. He took out a folding fan and began to be artful in early spring weather. The two of them walked side by side, like a couple walking in the world. In fact, they should not be like each other, but for Li Xuandu, "walking in the world" has become blurred.

The height of the temple corresponds to the distance of the rivers and lakes. Apart from the temple, it is the rivers and lakes.

The world is also the love, hate, and love of people in the world.

How many infatuated men and women meet, know each other, and hold hands in the world; How many poor people cherish themselves, admire themselves, and pity themselves in the world; How many prodigal knights live, die together, and walk together with swords in the world; How many strangers are in the world Fight for fame, profit, and power against swords.

Li Xuandu also had such a world. Before the first year of Tianbao, Li Xuandu, who was named Zifuke, walked into such a world. But for Li Xuandu now, is he still far away from the temple? It involves the temple, the three religions, the general trend of the world, and the people. The grievances, grudges, love and hatred seem to become very small.

Nowadays, Li Xuan has strong purpose in every move, with greater power and higher status, but he has lost the freedom and freedom of the past, let alone avenge.

Perhaps because of being grateful for the past, Li Xuan likes to walk around in his spare time and find the feeling of the past. At the same time, Li Xuan felt that he was a little old and was not yet thirty years old, and he had already begun to recall the past. When he reached his sixties, should he behave like many old seniors with strange temperaments?

Qin Su is a very quiet person most of the time, but it is an exception when he gets along with Li Xuandu, just like when Li Xuandu gets along with Qin Su, he will become frivolous. Qin Su whispered: "You are so shameless, and your mother-in-law can shout it out."

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned red first, but fortunately she was covered by a veil and no one could see it.

Li Xuan said indifferently: "What's the point of being embarrassed about? After all, it's a matter of time. If you don't call me now, you have to call me in the future. Don't talk about me, but think about yourself, you have to call me mother."

Qin Su said, "I will not be in Liaodong at that time, let her go."

Li Xuandu made fun of it: "There are many records of ancestors voyages abroad in Qingwei Sect. It is said that there is a huge bird that cannot fly further in Posa Prefecture, but it runs very fast. When encountering enemies. , they buried their heads in the sand, pretending that the enemy could not find it."

Qin Su said angrily, "Okay, you said I was just ignoring my head and not caring about my end."

Li Xuandu said, "I didn't say it, you realized it yourself."

After all, it was in public, so Qin Su couldn't touch her, so she could only glar at Li Xuandu, but the effect was quite limited through the veil of the veil. Since the two met, Li Xuandu has always attacked, Qin Su defended, and Qin Su's slight offensive is insignificant for Li Xuandu, who has a thick skin.

At this moment, Qin Suyuanyuan saw a Taiping Money House and said, "It's a coincidence that it's your family's property. I just want to withdraw some money."

Li Xuandu said in surprise: "Will the dignified Miss Qin be short of money?"

Qin Su raised her face and snorted, "What does it mean that 'Miss Qin will also be short of money', you are still the leader of Taiping Sect. Taiping Sect is rich and wealthy, and you have never seen much savings from you. You are just spreading it outside. I have money, and I have also plundered all my money. Do you think the money spent at Taiping Inn is a small amount?”

Li Xuan said with a little ashamed: "I forgot that you are the boss, and I am just a shopkeeper. If the boss doesn't like me, he kicks me, and I can only live on the streets and beg for food."

"It makes me feel like I'm not kind." Qin Su smiled, "Actually, I'm taking the same silver as the year. But when I went there, I didn't spend much money and had inputs to write a book, so I've accumulated savings over the years. It's really a lot. But now I've spent almost all the time and I don't write much of the storybook, so I can't help but be too short. By the way, I didn't use rouge and water powder in the past. After all, I wear a mask every day, so it's still a waste of time to use it. I used it, but since I didn’t wear a mask, I have also started using these, and there are all kinds of head and face jewelry and clothes, which are all expenses.”

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Since ancient times, the deficit in accounts has been nothing more than two ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. However, our Miss Qin did the opposite and did not write a storybook. This is an initiative to cut off the path to increase revenue. , without squandering money, he squandered his money, and he is a business genius."

Qin Suchen said, "It's not because of you, you are still talking sarcastic words here."

Li Xuan sighed, "I just feel ashamed of not saying anything sarcastic. Now I have a prominent reputation, but I can't even get a little bit of makeup."

Qin Subuyi said, "What's this? There are many rich people in the world, but few may have done something earth-shaking. Besides, I still have some savings, but it really doesn't work. Go to Daddy's place to worship, ask for it, but Daddy can still refuse it."

"No wonder everyone says girls are outgoing." Li Xuan smiled, "I suddenly remembered an allusion. In ancient times, Emperor Xin asked someone to carve a pair of ivory chopsticks. The wise minister advised him that ivory chopsticks must not be matched with pottery, but they must be matched with The bowl made of rhinoceros horn and the cup made of white jade. The jade bowl must not be used to hold wild vegetables and coarse grains. It must be delicacies. If you want to eat delicacies, you cannot be in thatched houses. You must have a palace built with gold and jade. Finally, the wine pond, meat forest, Lutai, torch."

Qin Su understood and smiled and said, "You are those pair of ivory chopsticks. If you didn't have these pairs of chopsticks, I wouldn't have lost money. It's comparable to the national treasury of our Great Wei Dynasty."

Li Xuandu said, "What do you mean is that I am a beauty? I don't know that I still have this potential."

Qin Su covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is what you said yourself, not what I said."

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the door of Taiping Money House. Coincidentally, next door to the money house was a rouge shop run by Cihang Sect, which had already made a sign, which was said to be the most fashionable color and makeup in the Imperial Court. But the price is expensive, so there are not many customers. Qin Su couldn't help but stop, and then simply pulled Li Xuandu into the rouge shop. After looking for a while, he asked, "Brother Xuan, which color do you think is better."

Li Xuan only felt that the colors were similar and did not want to be carefully distinguished, so he said, "The lotus comes out of clear water and is naturally carved. So it is best to face the sky with plain face."

Qin Su shook his head and said, "It must be different. I heard that the Cihang Sect's input on rouge and water powder alone is as huge as two million taels of silver in a year. If it is really as you said, it's best to face the sky, then the sky What are so many women doing underneath? Cihangzong can’t make such a lot of money.”

Li Xuan had to look carefully for a while and said, "This color is a little brighter, not very suitable for you. You are suitable for lighter ones."

Qin Su nodded thoughtfully, "This is not bad."

At this moment, the shopkeeper finally spoke, "You two don't know that these styles and colors are all from the palace, and some of them were thought of by the Empress Dowager."

The smile on Qin Su's face gradually faded, and she subconsciously looked at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu smiled unchanged, "I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would have such leisure and elegance in handling major affairs in the court."

The shopkeeper is a woman. Although he is from Cihang Sect, he has lived in Jinling Mansion for a long time and naturally does not recognize Li Xuandu. He smiled and said, "Whether the emperor or the empress dowager, you can't correct memorials all day long, you have to take a break. Not at the time.”

Qin Su suddenly said, "Forget it, don't buy it, let's go."

The shopkeeper was stunned, "Why don't you buy it again? The shops are all top-notch."

Although Qin Su was wearing a veil, she still looked stern, "If you don't buy it, you won't buy it anymore. Brother Xuan, let's go."

Just at this moment, several young men were passing by the door. The leader glanced at Qin Su's body and his eyes fell on Qin Su. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, his eyes could no longer be moved.

The eldest son is like Li Xuandu. He is hand-cranking a folding fan in the early spring when it is still cold and cold. He looks handsome. He simply walked into the rouge shop, closed the folding fan in his hand, lit the counter lightly, glanced at it and smiled. "This is all new products this year. This one is made of silk cotton dipped in red and blue flower juice, called "Mianyan Branch". This one is processed into small and thin flower slices, with Su Fangmu flowers Made of juice, called 'Golden Flower Swallow Branch'."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "This young man is really an expert."

The young man asked, "I don't know what the price is?"

The shopkeeper said, "It's not expensive, a box costs only twenty taels of silver."

The young master said, "A box of two types."

The shopkeeper responded and immediately took two boxes.

The young man paid the silver and pushed two boxes of rouge in front of Qin Su.
