Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 534 What benefits can we get
Wang Ping'an was resting in the side hall of the Chongxian Hall, and he did not sleep soundly. He got up early the next day, washed up, had breakfast, and waited for Li Zhi to come.

But when the sun was high, Li Zhi still didn't come, so he had to send a little eunuch to remind him. There are still many things to do today, so it's no good to sleep late!

The little eunuch came back shortly after he left, and told Wang Ping'an that His Royal Highness slept late yesterday and would sleep a little longer today, so he couldn't come here too early, and told Wang Ping'an to take care of things first, without waiting for him.

Wang Pingan had no choice but to meet such a lazy prince, he really had no choice but to leave the East Palace and return to Lingling Temple.

Today's Lingling Temple is different from yesterday. Many people came to worship Buddha and pray for the safety of their families for the new year. Although it was morning, thousands of people came here, including men, women and children.And Tang Xuanzang was very good at taking advantage of this opportunity. He asked someone to build a Dharma altar for himself and give lectures on it.

Most of the common people believe in Buddhism for the purpose of praying for blessings and hoping for blessings from gods and Buddhas. not easy.

It was not that Tang Xuanzang was ignorant of world affairs. He understood that the reason why he received such a warm welcome when he returned to Beijing was not because the people were interested in the scriptures he brought back, but because they admired him for traveling thousands of miles west to learn scriptures.Therefore, this time he did not talk about scriptures at the Dharma altar, but about his experiences, about the various customs and customs he saw along the way, and all kinds of anecdotes from other worlds. Attract the people.

This trick is quite effective. As long as the people enter the Inspiration Temple, even if they see this dilapidated temple, they will not be disappointed. On the contrary, they will not want to leave when they come. , Listen to Tang Xuanzang telling stories.

Wang Ping'an was far away from the gate of the temple, and he saw countless people crowded there. They probably didn't squeeze into the courtyard, so they had to surround the gate.Knowing that he couldn't enter through the front door, he detoured through the back door and entered the temple.

As soon as he came in through the back door, he heard someone laughing and ran up, saying: "My lord, I see you are here. Happy Chinese New Year!"

Wang Pingan looked at the people who came, and saw that it was Hamidi, who was followed by Ayedin, both of them were smiling, running and bouncing over.

Wang Pingan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Ha, brother, long time no see, how are you all?"

Aydin ran and said, "I told my brother-in-law just now that unless you don't come back today, if you do come back, you must go through the back door and wait here, so I'm right!"

Hamiti ran forward, took Wang Ping'an's hand, shook it non-stop, and was extremely affectionate. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't call me that anymore. You call me Master Ha. This is to ruin my life." what!"

They are old acquaintances, and they have always said whatever they want, and they can make any jokes. Wang Ping'an was naturally happy when he saw his friend from Xuzhou, and said with a smile: "I don't call you master, but what do I call you, I can't call you ha Granny!"

Hamiti was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Forget it. It's not that I don't dare to call you old lady Ha, it's just that I can't take it!"

Wang Pingan smiled and said, "That's right, you are a pure man, you can't change from a man to a milk!" Suddenly thinking of Shi Aiguo, he couldn't help laughing.

He knew very well in his heart that he had become a duke, and his status had been greatly improved. Not to mention ordinary people, even officials in the court, most of them had to call him a prince. sickness, and he called him Master Ha, which was not appropriate anymore, even Hamidi himself would not call it that anymore.

Wang Pingan said: "If not, I'll call you Ha Weng from now on. Brother Ah is still called nephew playing lantern, so let's continue as usual!"

Hamiti nodded hastily, and said: "Okay, I will call you that from now on, counting from Lianwu, the old man is a generation older than you, it is not bad if you call me Ha Weng, and it will save the old man from embarrassment .” He was very honest, what was on his mind, he said it out of his mouth.

Aydin said, "My nephew is lighting a lantern? Why did the prince suddenly say such a sentence?" He was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with a smile, "My nephew lighting a lantern is for uncle. So that's the way it is said, right? , let's take care of uncle!"

Wang Pingan thought to himself: "I have a niece, ready-made, but I dare not let her light the lantern for me." He took the two of them by the hand and walked towards the backyard together.

After walking a few steps, a few more people ran out from inside, but they were Yin Jiushang, a great bookseller, Qiu Tingxuan, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi.

Yin Jiucheng stepped forward and called out, "My lord, I see you coming. How are you celebrating the New Year?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Why are you shouting this sentence?" He smiled and said: "Brother Yin, you are not old, why do you call yourself an old man?"

Yin Jiucheng quickly ran up to him, not only yelled the same words as Hamidi, but even his movements were the same. He held Wang Ping'an's hand and kept shaking it, and said with a smile: "If you have a son, you will naturally be the master." , so instead of calling yourself an old man, you still have to call yourself a young man?"

Wang Pingan chuckled a few times, looked at the few people behind, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi were full of flattery, stepped forward and shouted loudly, flattering with all their might!
But Qiu Tingxuan was still the style of a "learned person", walked over slowly and methodically, cupped his hands at Wang Ping'an, and said: "No disease, brother Yu knows that you will be busy for the first two days, so I didn't dare to disturb you, today I guess You should be pretty busy, so you came here to visit."

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "In terms of character, this is the best one. Whether I have a high status or a low status, he always has the same expression, and there is no change." He smiled and said, "Brother Qiu, that Ma family How is Miss recently, have you paid New Year's greetings at her mansion?"

Qiu Tingxuan blushed, Wang Ping'an was talking about Ma Mingmei, who was his sweetheart.Qiu Tingxuan nodded and said: "Naturally, Mr. Ma saw me alone in Beijing, so he asked me to go to his house to have a New Year's Eve dinner. I'm so old!"

Wang Pingan laughed and said, "So, Brother Qiu, a good thing is coming soon!"

Seeing that Wang Pingan ignored them, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi felt anxious. We are all classmates, so we can't favor one over another. They knew that they were dishonest in the past, which aroused Wang Pingan's disgust, so they naturally wanted to make up for it.

Zhao Bi stepped forward and flattered him: "My lord, I heard that your good news is coming soon, and the New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten in the palace."

Not to be outdone, Lu Xiuzhi also said: "Yes, yes, the prince is really lucky to be able to accompany the emperor to watch the new year. How is the palace, can you tell me?"

Wang Ping annoyed them both, but he didn't want to turn his back on them and offend them. Besides, the two of them had no other skills, but they had the skills to spend money, and they had plenty of money at home, so they just needed their skills to build a pedestrian street. Let them The two spend some money well.

Since he wanted people to pay out, he naturally couldn't show his face to others.Wang Pingan smiled at the two of them: "Look at what the two elder brothers said, I went to the palace to watch the new year, and I went to serve people, serving tea and water, and so on. I really can't sit at the same table with the emperor for dinner. You are too high-spirited." Little brother!"

Seeing Wang Ping'an's attitude was very good, Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi immediately cheered up, pushed Hamiti and others aside, leaned on Wang Ping'an from left to right, flattered him, and said first that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the palace to serve the emperor Well, the prince is still not satisfied, and then he began to recall the past, talking about the things they studied together in Xiantong Academy, and tried their best to make friends with Wang Pingan, so that the prince must not forget that we are classmates, and we are the closest friends. The kind of classmate who is iron.

Talking and laughing, we went into Wang Ping'an's house together. Everyone huddled together and talked about new things. Of course, Hamiti and Ayedin were talking about business, while Yin Jiucheng was talking about publishing books. Zhao Bi He talked to Lu Xiuzhi about anecdotes about scholars in Beijing, while Qiu Tingxuan just listened without saying a word.

After listening for a while, Wang Ping'an began to talk about his affairs outside the customs, and he picked interesting things to say, which made everyone laugh.Not long after, Wang Pingan changed the subject and said, "Everyone, I have a good business and I want to introduce it to you. Let's make money together!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that Wang Ping'an had the best means to make money, and his vision was very high. He didn't do ordinary business at all. If he used the word "good" to describe any business, then this business must be good.

Wang Ping'an was very happy to see them, so he talked about the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda, first talking about the construction of the pagoda, not about the construction of the pedestrian street.

After listening, there was silence in the room.Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi lowered their heads, thinking: "Building the Tongtian Pagoda is a huge expense, we can't decide what to do, let's listen to others first!"

The two of them dare not say anything, and others have to think about it even more. Everyone is a businessman, and they never invest money in vain.

After a while, Hamidi finally said: "My lord, it is of course a good thing to build the pagoda to reach the sky. There are countless good men and women in Beijing, and the number of rich people is even more numerous. Let them donate money to build the pagoda, so that it will be good for the next life." If everyone donates, we donate too, and we are not reluctant to spend the money. However, in terms of business, what benefits can we get?"

Wang Pingan said solemnly: "You can be blessed by gods and Buddhas."

Everyone nodded together, and after a long silence, Hamidi said again: "Then besides receiving the blessings of gods and Buddhas, what benefits can we get?"

Wang Ping'an said more solemnly: "When future generations see the Tongtian Buddha, they will think of your merits and cherish you!"

Everyone nodded together again, followed by silence, and after a while, Hamidi asked again: "Apart from this, what else can we gain?"

Wang Ping'an said: "All faithful men and women all over the world will thank you, and your names will be engraved on the pagoda."

Everyone paused for a moment, then slowly nodded their heads again, but they all thought in their hearts: "Then there is no benefit at all, how can this be considered a good business!"

After being silent for a while, Wang Pingan looked at the expressions of the crowd and suddenly smiled. He said, "There are still countless money!"
