Chapter 1,198 The icing on the cake(3/4)
Qi Fang smiled sweetly and said: "The Imperial Master is too polite."
During the last meeting at the Confucian Temple, the two sides could only meet from a distance, so this was the first time for Qi Fang to have such close contact with Chen Ping'an.
And she knew more truths than Luofu Meng, for example, he was the monk Haoran who first said "then fight".
This kind of secret cannot be told to anyone. It must be kept in the heart and cannot be said a word. It is actually very uncomfortable.
Just like a drunkard who is greedy for drinking but cannot drink a glass of wine. The taste here is not enough for outsiders to understand.
In fact, Chen Pingan is already very considerate.
Originally, Baihua Land had something to ask for, so Chen Pingan could just ask them to wait in the capital.
Qi Fang is a very common name in the market, especially when used on her, it is even a bit tacky.
But if you really want to talk about the meaning, there are some, such as a hundred flowers blooming and thousands of flowers blooming together. In this way, it seems to be a very good name.
The tea sets were already placed on the table, so naturally, Mrs. Blushing took over the task of making tea and serving the guests. She opened the tin can, took out the best Mingqian tea this year, and took a quick glance at the signature on the bottom of the tin can.
Chen Ping'an looked at the Phoenix Fairy and Flower God, and asked with a smile: "We meet again. We were at Master Zhang's place before. Was everything going well?"
The girl groaned, her tactics seemed to be completely ineffective.
Fortunately, seeing her dumbfounded, Luo Fumeng not only reminded her but also helped to smooth things over, "Wu Qi, don't be rude, the Imperial Master is asking you something."
Look, it turns out that there is indeed such a saying as "Don't be rude".
The girl Flower God suddenly lost her nervousness and said: "It went well, very well. Chen Jianxian's clever trick is very powerful!"
She subconsciously wanted to give a thumbs up, but luckily Luo Fumeng held her arm down early. Just because Wu Li would definitely follow up with a comment...
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "That's good, I can keep that bag of Guyu money. Making money from other people's pockets is the hardest, and having to pay it back immediately after you have earned it is the most uncomfortable."
He told a joke that could be considered a joke, but the room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Maybe it's because Chen Ping'an's joke is very common, or maybe it's because they don't dare to laugh casually.
Perhaps this is the so-called secular power. It is not always dictated by the superiors, or it may change from noisy to quiet as soon as you open your mouth on any occasion, nor may it be the pomp and circumstance when traveling.
Power is like an invisible spider web. The greater the power, the more spider threads can spread longer. The circle of spider threads at the edge of the spider web can trap more money, women, seats, and other people's lives.
The joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of life, and the small ups and downs that appear in the center of the spider web are the joys and sorrows that expand outward layer by layer, gradually evolving into their stormy waves, honor and disgrace, life and death, wealth and destiny.
Mrs. Yan stared at the stove filled with mountain spring water. The water boiled and made a boiling sound.
Putting away his thoughts, Chen Pingan said slowly: "Apologizing is nothing more than what you say with your mouth, what you think in your heart, and how you do things."
It was because Qi Fang had not seen Aunt Feng before, so Luofu Meng calmed down and said: "We have discussed with Lord Qi Hua. First of all, within a hundred years, the size of the Dali court from the capital to the prefecture and county level will be determined."
The expenses for the official residence and all the garden flowers and trees are covered by our blessing. We are willing to provide people, money and efforts. Secondly, every day
Throughout the year, we will dispatch dozens of flower gods to the Flower Goddess Temple in Dali, doing our best to add a little charm to the mountains and rivers. If you feel that sincerity is still not enough, Chen Guoshi and Aunt Feng can try again.
Ti, before you are satisfied and we have not settled the matter for one day, Master Qihua and I will stay in the capital of Great Li for one day."
Da Li is no ordinary dynasty. It occupies half of Aquarius Continent. This expense is really not small.
If it extends further down to the official residence on the first floor of the county, it's not that Blessed Land doesn't want to be extravagant, it's really impossible. It's difficult to raise enough money from the gods, and it's even more difficult for Blessed Land to mobilize manpower.
Unless the entire Baihua Paradise is relocated to Aquarius Continent, all the flower gods will be determined to spend hundreds of years in the Great Li Dynasty to have a certain degree of certainty. However, such a thing is of course unrealistic.
Chen Pingan thought about the matter and did not rush to say yes or no.
Qi Fang suddenly asked in her heart: "Yin Guan, is he okay?"
Since she called Chen Ping'an like this, it was clear who "he" was, the criminal officer Hao Su who had been hiding in Baihua Paradise in the past.
Chen Pingan replied from the bottom of his heart: "Haosu's cultivation in Baiyujing Shenxiao City is going smoothly. His level is high enough, and his several shots are of sufficient weight. In addition, his status is aloof. After all, he has a former criminal officer.
Title, not only does Hao Su walk sideways, but also walks diagonally in Qingming World. Even if it is a bit chaotic now, even if Hao Su goes out to travel, no one will take the initiative to provoke him. It is completely unnecessary, so together
Flower owners can rest assured."
Qi Fang couldn't help but laugh. Yin Guan's words were humorous. When he thought of Hao Su's "walking sideways", he found it even more amusing.
The faint sadness between her eyebrows seemed to be swept away.
The charming and innocent girl named Wu Yi, the Flower Goddess, held it in for a long time. When no one spoke, she finally came up with some words that she thought were polite and appropriate, and put down the flower in her hand that happened to be painted with impatiens.
Flower God Cup, clasping fists with both hands, "Congratulations, Chen Jianxian and the Great Li Dynasty have joined forces."
Qi Fang was a little helpless, while Luo Fumeng was a little nervous. When discussing things with a big shot like Chen Ping'an in the same room, you must be careful with your words and deeds. Be careful, because you don't know which words will break the taboo.
Not only are words separated from the face, but the heart is separated from the belly, it is simply a deep city, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
On the way here, Luofu Meng had specifically reminded Wu Qi that when he met Chen Guoshi, he should adhere to the purpose of not seeking merit but seeking no faults, and speak as little as possible, preferably not at all.
The blushing lady quickly lowered her head to make tea, but the toes inside her embroidered shoes were all hooked up. It was really embarrassing.
Luofu Meng has the same understanding as most of the monks on the top of Haoran Mountain. You can say that Chen Ping'an is prosperous, or you can say that he works hard to live up to his destiny, but he must not be regarded as a simple-minded person.
If it is said that life is like a fence with thousands of mountains, each mountain releases a mountain barrier. Walking on the road, you are constantly breaking through barriers. Isn't this the same for Chen Guoshi, who is in a high position at a young age?
In my hometown in the past, I met Qi Jingchun from Cliff Academy, Cui Chan, the embroidered tiger, and the old scholar. When I arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there was the boss of the swordsman, and the sage of rites who returned to the vast world, Zheng Juzhong...
What was unexpected was that instead of being expressionless and turning a deaf ear, Chen Ping'an didn't even smile politely. Instead, he also clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I'll lend you some good words, I'll lend you some good words."
The girl scratched her head, she was too sincere, and said with a shy face: "Chen Jianxian, I am not a good flower god, and my Tao power is very weak. There is a huge gap between the saint's mouth and the heavenly constitution, and the realm where the real person can follow the law."
It's eight thousand miles away. Chen Jianxian may not be able to lend me the auspicious words he borrowed from me, ha, ha, ha."
Chen Ping'an laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Don't be surprised if you give too many people, and don't have too many good words."
Luofu Meng felt relieved and saw that Chen Ping'an's expression and tone did not seem to be fake. Could it be that this girl Wu Li is really a fool who has a fool's fortune?
Generally speaking, those who have been in a high position for a long time are either superficially domineering or restrained and have deep authority.
For example, when Luo Fumeng first saw Chen Pingan at the door, she felt extremely stressed, and her mind even went blank for a moment.
Nian Xin was a little curious and asked in her heart: "Why are you so nice to the little girl?"
Chen Ping'an laughed in his heart and said, "There's no big reason. It's just that in my hometown when I was a child, there was an impatiens tree in front of Liu Xianyang's house. The flowers were so colorful that Gu Can and I both thought they were beautiful."
Mrs. Yan handed them porcelain cups one by one. Seeing that the two sides were chatting well, she felt relaxed.
Chen Ping'an took the tea cup and said, "With these two conditions as the foundation, I don't think it's a big problem. However, I can't guarantee anything now whether Aunt Feng will make one or two additional small requests."
Chen Ping'an turned to look at Nian Xin and said, "Nuan Xin, later you go to the Fire Temple with Master Qi Hua and the others to visit Aunt Feng, and tell me that I have no objections."
Nuxin nodded.
Wu Li didn't know if it was his imagination, but at this moment, the whole room seemed to light up.
Qi Fang chatted about the two seals and asked Chen Guoshi if he had any private rubbings and whether she could be lucky enough to borrow them. It turned out that there was an immortal mansion in Aaizhou with excellent business experience, and they selected the ten best seals in the world in the past millennium.
Once printed
As soon as it was published, the sales volume at the foot of the mountain was astonishing, let alone on the mountain. The Twenty-four Flowers Trade Wind Seal Book was ranked ninth. It was written by a certain Taishang Keqing from Baihua Blessed Land. And Chen Ping'an personally compiled the sword
Immortal Seal Pu ranks third.
It is a pity that the Jianjianxian seals on the market are not original hand-rubbed copies after all, and cannot fully reflect the Fengshen spirit of those seals.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said that he didn't have any extra hand rubbings on hand.
The atmosphere of chatting became more and more relaxed, and Mrs. Blushing was completely relieved, so she took her time to relax and muttered a few words in her heart.
To entertain all the Flower Goddess, I actually used a counterfeit Flower God Cup.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the things produced by the people's kilns are of poor quality in the eyes of the immortals.
The glaze color is dull, the hand feels rough, the flowers are dull, the fonts are weak... in short, nothing catches the eye.
The blushing lady couldn't help but murmur a few words in her heart, "Yin Guan, you are so short of money that you are so short of money. Do you have a lack of heart?"
Qi Fang took the initiative to make a joke and mentioned the Flower God Cup. She said that it would be inappropriate for the Imperial Master to use fake Flower God Cups to entertain guests next time. She must go back and send some sets of genuine Flower God Cups to the Imperial Master's office.
The blushing lady looked at the hidden official from the corner of her eye. What should I do? Are you ashamed?
It's a pity that she underestimated the second shopkeeper's face.
Chen Pingan smiled and said that he had been waiting for this sentence from the flower owner.
Qi Fang seemed speechless.
The blushing lady clicked her tongue softly.
Xiao Mo stood quietly outside the door and glanced at the deserted side room.
The temple blessing of the Flower Temple is a monk, but her realm is not high. She is in her forties, and she is just a caveman who has taken a shortcut.
Ye Man actually knew very well that the people in that room were either rich or noble, and they were all immortals, so it was unlikely that anyone would ask her to do any chores. But she still had to wait patiently.
After all, he is the national advisor of a country, and it is understandable that his affairs are heavy. He cannot keep chatting, just when Qi Fang was about to stand up and leave.
Chen Pingan put down his teacup and said, "I have a suggestion. You might as well listen to it."
Qi Fang's heartstrings immediately tightened and she said, "Master, please speak."
Chen Ping'an said: "We have more than 100 states in the Great Li Dynasty, which correspond to the blessed land of hundreds of flowers. Each state can have its own state flower. If a flower temple is built in the state seat, a certain flower god can enjoy incense and worship. This type of
The flower temple does not need to be too large, so as not to overwhelm the guests. You only need to provide drawings of the blessed place, and the appendix contains the personal preferences and interests of the flower gods. As for the related construction costs, you do not need to pay for it. "
"Da Li still has thirty-two vassals that have not yet abolished their national titles. In the same way, you can choose your own national flower."
"If you think this is feasible, then whether it's the state flower or the national flower, it also depends on whether you are in harmony with the local states or vassal countries. You can't just shave your head and choose one. The issue of incense and sacrifice cannot be deceived. No matter who is wishful thinking.
, the incense cannot last long. So it may be necessary for the flower gods to visit the territory of Dali in person. At that time, the Ministry of Rites of Dali Capital and the accompanying capital
To be continued...
