Xie Qian went to Xiaochangchun Temple.
It's too quiet here.
It's a good place for spiritual cultivation, but first and foremost, one must have a heart devoted to the Tao.
Master Taiqing sat under the eaves, basking in the sun, lost in thought; he looked somewhat senile.
If this continues, she will become an ordinary person, or an ordinary madwoman.
Xie Yu didn't want to come, but since his father mentioned it, he came to see and fulfill the sibling bond.
Taiqing Zhenren, dressed in a crane cloak with minimal adornment, stared blankly at Xie Yu at first glance. He was different now than before.
Xie Yu used to be young, but now he's suddenly matured. After all, the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne.
Does this mean Xie Yu's complete failure? Or was it never related to him at all, and he was just overthinking it?
Xie Yu had thought about it carefully, and it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
For example, the strange role played by the Kingdom of Da Shi in this situation—would they rather the Great Zhao be in chaos than let him ascend the throne and become a good emperor?
Xie Yu had thought about his grandfather and father, but Dong Xu did not intend for him to be a good emperor.
But simply making him emperor is a very different matter.
Xie Yu was going to do it, but he was going to do it well. Now that I think about it, things won't be simple.
Master Taiqing snapped out of his daze and asked, "You wanted to see me? Is there something you need?"
Xie Yu stood in the courtyard and said, "Do you still remember Lin Han?"
Master Taiqing shook his head: "I don't know him."
Xie Qian said, "Dong Jinyou's cousin."
Taiqing Zhenren blinked. Dong Jinyou was their fourth maternal uncle, and his entire family had already been executed. So, he was Dong Jinyou's aunt's nephew?
Xie Yu nodded: "He's only twenty-four years old and not married yet."
Master Taiqing blinked. Could it be that someone dared to make a move on her? Even if she wanted to be an ordinary person, this was too absurd.
Master Changqing, who was watching from the side, interjected, "What is he doing now?"
Xie Yu didn't hide anything: "I'll work as a steward for the Nan family under an assumed name. Anyway, the Nan family has money; buying a house or a few hundred acres of land is no big deal. I can also hire a few servants to take care of me."
This life is ordinary enough.
Xie Qian added, "The Nan family's caravan crashed into Chang Dalang's cart and they want to give him ten thousand taels of gold and two beauties."
Master Taiqing sneered, "You're worthless."
It's not that she's inferior to the Chang family, but the Nan family's behavior is truly despicable.
Taiqing Zhenren said, "The Chang family doesn't think much of it, does they?"
Xie Yu nodded: "What the Chang family wants is a lasting reputation. They have had a good name since the time of the Chang family's grandmother."
That old lady was just an ordinary person, but what an ordinary person can do, a person of high status may not be able to do.
The Chang family's good deeds for Lady Huan are also a way of protecting this lineage and the future of the Great Zhao.
If he can persist for one generation, he will be praised for that generation; if he can persist for several generations, the Chang family will be able to continue for even longer.
Master Taiqing had no interest in the Nan family, regardless of anything else.
Although I have no interest in Chang Dalang, marrying an honest farmer is better than this.
Xie Yu nodded: "They're too dirty. If you step in, you're doomed."
Master Taiqing glanced at him. Even if he was trying to scare her, she had no intention of challenging him.
Taiqing Zhenren was indeed weary, weary of everything.
Xie Yu just came to take a look; he couldn't concern himself with anything else.
If she resigns herself to her fate and stays here obediently, she might be able to stay for a long time.
When the emperor and the emperor have changed, and many things have changed, there's no use in her thinking about it.
Xie Yu encountered several people after leaving Changchun Temple.
Lin Han, though down on his luck, still looked quite dashing in his silk robes and with the air of a playboy.
After all, the Lin family wasn't anything special to begin with, and Lin Han was just a good-for-nothing.
The Nan family is so prestigious that even their servants are more glamorous than others.
Who is Xie Yu? He was once the Empress's eldest son; almost everyone in the world has met him.
Lin Han bowed graciously: "Would you like to have some tea, Duke Qi?"
Xie Yu said, "You are not worthy." Then he got into his carriage and left.
Lin Han stood at the entrance of Changchun Temple, watching the Duke of Qi leave. Did he want Nan Shaoying to see him in person?
Even though he rose from King of Qi to Duke of Qi, he was still far superior to ordinary people. Even if the new emperor disliked him, as long as the old emperor was not dead, the new emperor would have to give his father face.
Perhaps many years later, Xie Yu will face a predicament.
Although he is going to marry Princess Qi'an, if the new emperor wants to harm him, he can do so separately.
Lin Han looked back at Changchun Temple. It was quiet, but it wasn't a place you could just walk into.
Lin Han took a package and delivered it to the gatekeeper.
The eunuch guarding the door opened the items right at the entrance; it was a set of jewelry.
Lin Han's expression changed.
Those who had been loitering near the entrance of Changchun Temple had come to see what was going on.
The eunuch made no attempt to hide anything: "Which immortal are you sending the headdress to? The sage ordered those who cultivate the Tao to do so; did you obtain an imperial decree?"
Some people recognized Lin Han; after all, they were all from the same gang.
This is quite a spectacle: "The toad is trying to eat swan meat."
Even if someone cultivates Taoism, they might not be interested in you.
"I heard he's found a good master."
"Who doesn't know? But he's a good dog, daring to come here."
Nan Shaoying has made quite a stir in Sheng'an, especially by staging an accident involving Chang Dalang.
Chang Erlang had been touched once before, and perhaps he had been touched many times in Baishi Village.
"I heard that Lady Jing went to the palace to file a complaint."
"There's going to be a good show to watch later."
Although Jing Wei married a villager, she had a good relationship with the Empress and her cousin was Lü Wenren, so she could basically do whatever she wanted.
Besides, I've heard that everything grows well in Baishi Village, and people live a comfortable life there. They also spend a few months in Sheng'an every year, which is really great.
Some people started a commotion: "I heard Yu Yan got divorced, marrying her wouldn't be bad."
"I must say, Yu Yan is really great. She's beautiful and capable. Her daughter is smart, and she even gave birth to a son. If she wants a biological child, she should be able to have one. Even if she doesn't, it's okay."
Yu Yan is Consort Huan's cousin, and her daughter is Consort Huan's cousin's niece.
If you raise that son, he'll become your stepson. In fact, many people want to marry Yu Yan.
Marrying her would make him the nephew-in-law of Lady Anle, just like a prince consort.
Maybe after the Empress makes a new one, she'll bestow something upon my cousin.
Just as there is no conflict between Lady Anle and farming, there is no conflict between being granted the title of County Lady and farming.
They're living a comfortable life. Even some illegitimate sons of wealthy families in Sheng'an might not live as well.
Even if you look down on someone, they might not even like you back.
Lin Han ran away quickly.
Everyone laughed, and those who had nothing better to do went to Anxingfang.
The Nan family has run into the emperor's brother-in-law, so they'll definitely have to come knocking on his door again.
Some people went to Anxingfang, only to find that the Nan family's door was closed to them.
Even when Nan Shaoying's eldest son, the young master, personally came to visit, he was met with a firm refusal to open the door.
Everyone was jealous of Nan Shaoying's wealth, but they were also happy to watch the spectacle.
This is the residence of the Empress, who will soon become the Empress.
Anyone who wants the Empress to open the door has to have some face.
Chang Dalang has arrived; he's probably gone to the palace too, given his influence.
So what's the use of having a lot of silver? You still have to ask the villager for help.
There were quite a few people in Baishi Village who wanted corn for ten taels of silver each, but the villagers wouldn't sell it to them.
If corn as seed can increase yields elsewhere, it is indeed worth more than ten taels of silver.
Someone came over and asked Bingwei, "Why are there so many things piled up?"
The guards signaled that the yamen (government office) would come and collect it.
Gifts to the emperor's brother-in-law were not something that could be given casually.
