Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Why should a man be difficult for a man.

Especially for an infatuated and miserable person like Liu Hong, Chen Qi was very tolerant.

After a long time, Liu Hong finally recovered from the artistic conception of "Magpie Bridge Immortal", and looked at Chen Qi with a complicated expression.

He carefully rolled up the copybook of "Magpie Bridge Immortal" and put it on the tea table, then pushed a black willow wooden box to Chen Qi, and said: "Here is 500 taels of red gold, please order one or two. "

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to bow his hands to Chen Qi and said: "This time, Liu took advantage of it, so Liu owes you a favor. If there is a need in the future, you can send someone to the Prime Minister Zuo's residence to find someone."

Chen Qi looked at the black willow box, which was only one foot in size, and did not open it. He just lifted it into his hand and weighed it, so he could be sure that Liu Hong hadn't lied or made any small moves.

As the essence of gold extracted from gold, red gold itself has a much higher density than gold.

Although it can't reach the level of one to one hundred, it can also reach one to fifty.

If it is high-quality pure gold, under the same volume, it can reach [-] or even [-] times the weight of gold.

Therefore, 500 taels of red gold may seem like a lot, but it doesn't actually take up much space.

Chen Qi weighed the weight of the willow wooden box in his hand, and it was indeed around 500 taels, which meant that there was not a big problem with this transaction.

But just in case, he opened it and checked it.

After confirming that it was the pure gold, Chen Qi smiled and said, "As long as Brother Liu is satisfied!"

With the red gold in hand, Chen Qi felt a lot more relaxed.

He looked at Liu Hong who was once again in a state of sorrow and misery in front of him, but he couldn't hold back after all, and sighed softly: "For the sake of trading (red gold), let me give Brother Liu a piece of advice. Since you have chosen to let go, then Don't bother any more."

"Some things, don't have some extreme fluke mentality."

"It should be noted that in this world, there are gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and there are gods three feet above the giants!"

Chen Qi sighed faintly, and said with deep meaning.

The Journey to the West is really about to start, and the selected robbing people like Liu Hong must be followed by immortals and Buddhas above their heads.

If you want Li Daitao to froze and make small moves, it's just like killing yourself.

After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Liu Hong understood or not, he just picked up the red gold and strode away.

What should be said has already been said, how the other party chooses, it has nothing to do with him.

Whether Liu Hong can get rid of the fate planned by others has nothing to do with him.

At least, Chen Qi is not very optimistic about it.

It's not that they don't like Liu Hong, but that they didn't give him a second choice at all.

Compared with those big figures in the world, so what if he is a little Xiami who is optimistic?

It was just a sigh in the end.

..........

"I have money, I have money, I don't know how to spend it!"

"Buy a Nokia for your left hand and a Motorola for your right hand."

"Mobile Unicom PHS changes its phone number every day. After sitting in a Mercedes-Benz and driving a BMW, it's okay to go to the sauna and eat lobster."

"I have money, I have money, I don't know how to spend it..."

Humming a ditty and holding a willow wooden box, Chen Qi walked happily on the streets of Chang'an East City.

As the saying goes, money is the courage of a hero, and he has never held so much money in his two lives.

At this time, Chen Qi was carrying 500 taels of red gold, and even walking was a little unsteady, wishing to let the whole world know that he was a rich man.

"What should I do next?"

"Buy a luxury house and live in a villa, or go to eat and drink first?"

Getting rich once made Chen Qi excited, but at the same time, he couldn't help feeling confused that he shouldn't have.

The previous "Magpie Bridge Immortal" exhausted his mental thoughts so much that the remaining thoughts could not suppress the cluster of distracting thoughts.

This can also be regarded as the disadvantage of Confucian arrogance and righteousness.

After all, the essence of awe-inspiring righteousness is the spiritual power of a monk, or the upright and grand spiritual thoughts of a monk.

Therefore, once the mental thoughts are consumed excessively, the righteousness will be crippled.

It's like a monk has no magic power, and a warrior has no blood, so it's strange if he doesn't waste it.

"By the way, I still have to prepare Chen Guangrui's wedding present."

After a long time, Chen Qi calmed down from the exuberance of getting rich, and thought about Chen Guangrui's wedding gift, and then walked towards Mobao Pavilion with the willow wooden box in his arms.

"Sure enough, I still have seen too little of the world. Just 500 taels of red gold made me lose my mind."

"It really shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!"

Chen Qi reviewed and reflected on himself while walking towards Mobao Pavilion.

After all, he is an ordinary person after all.

If you let an ordinary person win the 500 million prize, it will be strange if you can maintain a normal mind.

Previously, the suppression of spiritual thoughts condensed by Hao Ran's righteousness allowed him to avoid the influence of distracting thoughts.

Now that the spiritual thoughts condensed by Haoran's righteousness are weakened, the problem of his lack of mood is completely exposed.

This is also from the side surface, he values ​​money too much, and people have not really integrated into this world.

Of course, it is also possible that I am obsessed with money because I was afraid of poverty in my previous life.

In constant self-criticism, Chen Qi once again stepped into the gate of Mobao Pavilion.

This time, he didn't even look at the waiter, and directly shouted to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, bring me the top-grade four treasures of the study."

At any rate, he was also a classmate who went whoring together. When he had no money, he could only write a random letter and give it to someone as a wedding gift.

Now that you have money, you don't have to pick it up like this, and you can just give it a set of good four treasures of the study.

This can also reflect the firm revolutionary friendship between him and the brother of the champion Lang Chen Guangrui! .

Chapter 46

Chen Guangrui's wedding was grand. On the day of the wedding, the entire city of Chang'an seemed to be shrouded in red celebration.

Chen Qi gave a set of top-notch Four Treasures of the Study, among the many guests, they belonged to the low-end ones.

If it wasn't for Chen Guangrui's classmate and the invitation card, with this gift, he probably wouldn't even be eligible to attend the wedding banquet.

Don't think it's an exaggeration, it's a fact.

A gift of dozens of taels of pure gold is definitely a big gift for ordinary people.

However, for the number one scholar, Chen Guangrui, it was completely substandard, and he belonged to the kind that even the ceremonial officials were too lazy to write records.

As for the wedding of Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao, Chen Qi can only say that it is indeed a marriage of two top aristocratic families. The scale of this wedding is almost comparable to that of the royal family.

Why use the word "fast"?

Because, whether it is Chen Guangrui or Yin Kaishan, they are still courtiers of Li Tang court at this time.

If the wedding is more grand than the marriage of the royal prince or the princess, where do you let the face in the palace go?

Are you not afraid of being put on small shoes in the future?

Therefore, although the Yin and Chen families intend to increase the scale of the wedding by a few levels, they can only keep everything simple because of the face of the Li and Tang royal families.

No way, who made our Zhenguan Emperor Li Shimin poorer.

According to folklore, when Empress Wende's eldest son was still alive, poor dresses could not cover her feet.

The emperor is so poor, what do you want the civil and military officials below to do?

Just pretend to be poor!

Fortunately, more than ten years have passed, and the treasury that was emptied by the Weishui League has been filled again. Although the court is still short of money, it is much better than before.

Otherwise, the Yin and Chen families would not dare to hold a wedding in Chang'an City.

After all, the Yin and Chen families are truly top-notch families, especially the Chen family, not only the original Southern Tang royal family, but also the staunch allies of Western Buddhism in the East. They made great efforts when Buddhism was spread eastward.

Without the guidance of the Chen family in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would not be so easy for Western Buddhism to flourish in the East.

Many people think that Buddhism flourished after Journey to the West.

In fact, before Journey to the West, Buddhism had already prospered in the East, so there was no need to travel to the West.

As the saying goes, there were 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the mist and rain.

If Buddhism is only three melons and two jujubes in the East, Chen Qi would not come up with "The Theory of Extermination of Buddha and Rapid Wealth", and Li Shimin would not have sent him because he was afraid of Buddhism.

So, the so-called Journey to the West Buddhism Daxing itself is a false proposition.

It is not because of the journey to the West that Buddhism flourished in the East.

It is because of the prosperity of Buddhism in the East that Journey to the West is possible.

The causal relationship between them must be clarified.

It can be said that the Chen family, which was still the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was able to rise up in the East when Buddhism was able to flourish.

Similarly, because of the support of the Buddhist sect, the Chen family in the Southern Tang Dynasty was able to catch up with the latecomers. In less than a hundred years, they jumped from a second-rate family to one of the top families of the human race.

Some people may be curious, since the Chen family in the Southern Tang Dynasty is so powerful, why did Chen Guangrui marry Yin Kaishan's daughter and marry the Yin family?

And according to the meaning of the original Journey to the West, Chen Guangrui's marriage to Yin Wenjiao is the kind of high-level marriage.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

Because although the Chen family in the Southern Tang Dynasty is powerful, it belongs to an emerging family. Even with the support of Buddhism, it can only be regarded as a new top family. Compared with the real top family in the human race, its background is worse.

And what about the Yin family?

This is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Its own strength is extremely strong and its background is unfathomable.

What's more, Chentang Yin's background is extremely large, and he belongs to the kind with people above him.

How big is the Yin family's background?
