Chapter 453 Chu Pingsheng: I am the big BOSS in Qing Yu Nian
Xin Qiwu?
Chu Pingsheng then realized that he was obsessed with practicing the Heavenly Law. After returning to the capital of Qing Dynasty, Li Yunqian went home to retreat without seeing Li Yunqian, in order to practice the secret of Heavenly Law and unite heaven and man.
To this day, Mrs. Chu, who is still in name only, loves to quarrel with him on weekdays. Unexpectedly, she is quite reliable at critical moments, and she has been guarding him outside.
“Is it Xin Qiwu who is talking outside?”
"Yes, it's me, Mr. Chu."
Hearing the sound in the room, Xin Qiwu responded at the top of his lungs, with such flattering energy that it hit his nose even though he was two miles away.
"Haitang, Lord Xin is my old friend, let him come in."
When I was young, with the sound of footsteps, the door of the room was pushed open by someone wearing a white robe. Mrs. Chu, who was wearing a long gown and carrying a long sword, and Xin Qiwu, who had a mean smile on his face, walked into the room one after another.
Master Xin was also carrying a beautiful wooden box in his hand, which he immediately placed on the round table in front of the bed after entering the room.
"Master Chu, Your Majesty heard that you are not in good health. Today, you specially ordered your subordinates to send some bird's nests and Ganoderma lucidum as tribute from other places. These are good things for replenishing Qi and blood."
Chu Pingsheng smiled: " Your Majesty is concerned."
Haitang Duoduo said with a rare hint of worry: "Is your body... really okay?"
"Well, it only takes a day or two to heal. It’s nothing serious.”
He made a breakthrough in seclusion, but he told the outside world that he was feeling unwell and needed to retreat to heal his injuries. However, Haitang Duoduo took it for granted that he was too impatient in practicing Tian Dao. From the capital to the capital, if you travel faster, you can get there in more than half a month. In more than half a month, you can push the progress of top-notch exercises such as "Tian Dao Fa" to the forbidden realm, let alone meet her. Never heard of it.
So before entering the city, Chu Pingsheng told her that there was something wrong with her body and that she needed to be in seclusion for recuperation. She was not surprised, but she was very angry because she had advised him to practice slowly and not to be impatient, but he didn't listen. What happened now? Something happened.
"It's okay, sir, it's okay. It's okay." Xin Qiwu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not stupid. He knows how he got the position of Minister of Rites. As long as Mr. Chu is still alive and has not broken up with Emperor Qing, his official position can be kept. But what if Mr. Chu has a problem? If three things are good and two things are bad, then his official career will be over, and it might even get worse.
"Master Xin, don't be nervous. The old immortal from Nanhua Mountain told me my fortune when I was a child. He told me that my life is very tough and I can live at least two hundred years. You should do your job well and strive to die of old age." "
The corners of Xin Qiwu's mouth twitched: "Hehe, hehe... Mr. Chu is joking."
"What? You don't believe that I can live to be two hundred years old?"
"Believe it, of course I believe it. Two hundred years is not enough. Mr. Chu will definitely live forever and live as long as heaven."
" Haha, Mr. Xin said it well, I like to hear this."
Haitang Duoduo looked at the guy who flattered her so much and took everything he wanted, and finally understood why the two of them could become friends.
At this point, she really blamed her husband wrongly.
What is the purpose of cultivating immortality? Isn’t it just to escape from the five elements and become immortal? Chu has been cultivating demons all his life, and his pursuit of nature is more important than cultivating immortals. How normal it is to live forever and live the same life as heaven.
"Master Xin, I am very curious, what would Li Yunqian think if he knew what you said to me."
Xin Qiwu broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.
He called Li Yunqian long live, long live Li in the court. He will live as long as heaven when Chu Pingsheng comes. He clearly places the latter's status higher than the former. If he really wants to let Emperor Qing know, how can he Is it good?
"Sir, please stop scaring me. I am timid. If I don't scare you, I will kill you if I try too many times."
"Okay, without further ado, Li Yunqian sent you here just to deliver supplements?"
"Oh, that's right, the emperor named the eldest prince Prince He this morning and decided to hold a banquet in Qingyun Palace a week later. , to celebrate the marriage between the eldest prince and the eldest princess of Northern Qi, let me ask Miss Haitang if your injury is better and whether you can come to the palace to participate."
"The eldest prince has returned to Beijing."< br>
In the TV series, it was shown that the eldest prince and Fan Xian’s convoy returned to the city at the same time, and they caused quite a disturbance. This did not happen here. It was not that the second prince was confined at home, no one was causing trouble, and it was not Chu. He had a bad reputation throughout his life, and no one dared to trip him up. The reason was that something happened to the border troops, and Li Chengru, as the prince, could not leave.
“Yes, when Lord Chu was in retreat, the eldest prince had returned to Kyoto.”
"Tomorrow morning, you will tell Li Yunqian that I will attend the banquet seven days later on time."
"Hey, good."
Xin Qiwu didn't care about what he called Emperor Qing, because I have long been accustomed to hearing it. I looked at Begonia Duoduo and then at Mr. Chu who was recovering from his injury. He smiled evilly and turned around. However, he stopped when he was approaching the door, took something out of his arms and handed it over.
“This... I almost forgot.”
Chu Pingsheng took it in his hand and looked at it, and was happy to see that it was a bank note with a face value of two thousand taels.
"Master Chu and the Holy Lady got married in Northern Qi, and Xiaguan was far away in Nanqing and could not be present. This bank note... Quan is a congratulatory gift from the official. I hope Master Chu will accept it."
"Xin Qiwu, you... The family has a lot of money, two thousand taels... You must know that after the death of Lai Mingcheng, the second-rank censor of Zuodu, his son wanted to stay in Kyoto, but he couldn't even come up with three hundred taels of silver. This move of yours is two thousand taels. Thousand taels, tusk." Chu Pingsheng raised his eyebrows at him: "It seems that I have made a lot of money over the years."
When Xin Qiwu heard this, his eyes drooped and his nose wrinkled. The face with the BGM seemed to be smiling and crying: "Sir, this... I borrowed all this to make up for this amount."
"Oh?"
" The eldest princess has 10,000 taels, a winery outside the city, the prince has 5,000 taels, and a pair of coral trees in the South China Sea. The eldest prince and the third prince have a little less, also around 4,000 taels. It is said that the friendship between the lower officials and Mr. Chu is worth it. Three thousand taels is enough, but...but...Master Chu, I'm not afraid of your jokes even now, my seventy-year-old mother's coffin is already in it." At this point, Xin Qiwu's eyes turned red.
Chu Pingsheng thought for a moment and understood.
Xin Qiwu was originally a young minister of Honglu Temple from the fifth rank. He had little real power and little to gain. However, because of his connections, he rose up the ranks and now became the Minister of Etiquette of the third rank. , the promotion speed is too fast. If you want to have a good relationship with your colleagues and cover up each other, you will have no chance of making any extra money.
He and Haitang Duoduo got married. The eldest prince and third prince of Nanqing were in the same class as each other. Xin Qiwu’s relationship with him was well known to everyone. It was normal for members of the same rank to be of the same rank. , two thousand taels of silver, which is really a little less.
“Take it back.”
Chu Pingsheng waved lightly, and the bank note flew back to Xin Qiwu's arms as if it had gained weight.
"Sir, this is...the official's wish..."
"You also said it was your wish, so I have received your wish, and there will be no need for such mundane things as money."
"Sir?"
"Do you want me to tell Li Yunqian about this in seven days and ask him to send people from Dali Temple to check you?"
Xin Qiwu quickly put the banknotes into his sleeves and said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you, sir."
"Get out of here."
"Hey."
This guy responded, threw off his arms, moved his legs, and walked away happily.
Chu Pingsheng shook his head with a smile and turned to look at his wife.
"Why have we collected so much money?"
She said nonchalantly: "Yes, those gifts and banknotes are still piled up in the front hall."
"Ten thousand taels, There is also a winery. The eldest princess is so generous. Those who didn’t know it thought I was marrying her daughter.”
“By the way, she also left a letter for you.”
Haitang Duoduo heard him mention the eldest princess, took out a letter from her arms and handed it over.
"You didn't read it?"
"Why should I read the letter your mother-in-law wrote to you?"
Chu Pingsheng burst into laughter: "Are you jealous?"
< br>Begonia Duoduo rolled her eyes at him.
Chu Pingsheng looked back at the letter and frowned after a moment.
"No wonder she is like this."
"What's wrong?"
"After Fan Xian returned to the capital, he presented to Shen Wan'er the evidence that she used the internal treasury to smuggle for profit with senior officials of Northern Qi. Li Yunqian, Li Yunqian was furious and asked her to hand over her inner treasury and get out of Kyoto as soon as possible and go to her fiefdom, Xinyang."
"So she went to Xinyang and couldn't manage her property in Kyoto, so she was left alone. Why don't we just go with the flow and get married to you to get revenge on Fan Xian?" She sighed heavily: "This mother-in-law is really a madman, even for her own sake, she doesn't care about her daughter's happiness."
"Who told you that I can't give Lin Wan'er happiness?" Chu Pingsheng said, "Do you regret following me?"
"I regret it."
"The door faces south, please."
Begonia Duoduo winked at him and made an angry face, shook her fist, and left bitterly.
“This girl.”
Chu Pingsheng got up from the bed, took the envelope and patted his palms gently, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Li Yunqian sent Xin Qiwu to deliver supplements. On the surface, he was concerned about him, but in fact, he wanted to find out what was going on. Although there was no evidence for the changes in the Qingguo border troops, Li Yunqian should be able to guess that he was responsible for it. Seven days later, At the banquet to celebrate the success of Prince Li Chengru, he should be tested further.
After all, he has practiced domineering Qi. The more he practices, the greater the damage to his body.
"It will be a wedding banquet full of gunpowder, and there is such a good mother-in-law who loves my son-in-law. How can I let you leave Kyoto."
As his palms became more and more Red, the letter ignited and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
