The scene of Ling Xin'an hurriedly leaving less than an hour after returning to the Ling Mansion immediately spread throughout the capital. All the officials looked at each other in confusion. Ling Shang, who was still angry, sent someone out to investigate for a while and almost lost his temper.

"Nie Zhan, is he trying to make me angry to death?" Ling Shang slapped the table angrily, even Dong, who was sitting on one side, was stunned.

"Did he really hit the eldest grandson of the empress?" Mr. Dong's face looked pale.

"Madam, there are rumors in the whole capital now, but it seems that the eldest grandson of the emperor has occupied the Jinling Palace, and the third young master has beaten him, and said that he has lost the queen's face!" said the servant.

Ling Shang's chest heaved violently and his face turned purple. He was so angry that he asked, "The Prince's Palace of Jinling was really bought by this scoundrel?" Rather than Ling Xin'an beating the eldest grandson of the emperor, Ling Shang was more concerned about the fact that Ling Xin'an was staying in Jinling.

Prince's Mansion.

"Yes, sir. I heard that I bought it more than two years ago and have been repairing it. In fact, there have been rumors in the market that a mysterious person bought the Jinling Palace. However, Shuntian Palace did not seem to come out to confirm it, so no one paid attention.

.”

"That means His Majesty knew that someone had bought the Jinling Palace two years ago?" Ling Shang said.

The servant immediately fell silent. For him, it was better to keep silent about this kind of thing.

"Steward Yang, what do you think?" Ling Shang looked at him and asked, but saw that his expression changed and he was embarrassed.

"You know?" Ling Shang narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Back to the master, in fact, the third young master asked me to do this with his butler, but he asked me not to tell you, so..."

"What?" Ling Shang stood up, stared at Butler Yang and said, "When did you actually do something for him without telling me?"

Butler Yang bowed and said: "Master, please calm down. There is only one thing. The third young master has repeatedly told me that I cannot tell you about this matter. He said that if I tell you, it will be detrimental to you. I must not tell you, I can only tell you secretly."

Please do this so that you don’t have to worry."

"He has done such a thing, why doesn't it make me worry now? I will go to court tomorrow and tell me how to explain to His Majesty."

Butler Yang said: "Master, don't worry, His Majesty will never ask you anything tomorrow."

"Why?" Ling Shang asked.

Butler Yang smiled slightly again and said: "The third young master said that if he lives in, no one will ask. The old slave asked him why. The third young master said that when a person is rich and can rival the country, no matter where he is, there will be some

A person's goal is always in danger, so for the sake of safety, he must always leave some clues to be caught by others, so that people know that he is obedient."

Ling Shang was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said in disbelief: "He really told you that?"

Butler Yang smiled and said: "Master, except for the third young master's purchase of the property, I have never hidden anything from you."

Mrs. Dong looked at Ling Shang, who happened to be looking at her as well. When the couple looked at each other, they both saw the other's solemnity, doubts and slight sadness.

Especially Ling Shang, he couldn't help but remember the day when His Majesty decreed that Du Wei was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangzhou and Cao Jun was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou. He was so angry that he lost his mind. His father called him to Sifang Pavilion. When he got there, his father just let himself

Accompanying him to play chess until dark, no matter what he said, his father would remain silent until he calmed down. Before leaving, his father said to him: "This child is very well-behaved! Very good!"

"

Ling Shang was a little confused. Why did his third son do everything that people could not understand?

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, I'm back!" Ling Xiaoke's voice sounded in the Ling Mansion, and the figure was like the wind, running towards the hall. When he saw his parents, he said: "Dad, mother, where is my fourth brother?"

?”

"Second Miss, the Third Young Master didn't come back to Ling Mansion!" Butler Yang said after thinking for a while.

"Didn't you say you arrived in the capital today? Why haven't you come back yet?" Ling Xiaoke asked doubtfully.

Then Butler Yang told what happened today. Ling Xiaoke was stunned, then smiled and said, "Then I'll go find him!"

"Come back!" Ling Shang shouted.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Ling Xiaoke asked.

"No one is allowed to go to his place. If he doesn't go back to his hometown even after returning to Beijing, then no one will go. If you go, I will break your legs!" Ling Shang said angrily.

There was silence in the hall.

After Ling Xin'an returned to Beijing, she only visited her parents and left in a hurry. She never came out of the palace again. Except for the servants who were busy coming in and out to buy supplies, there was no news.

He did not go to see anyone, nor did he see anyone asking for an audience. You must know that in Jiangzhou City, Ling Xin'an's mansion always had an endless stream of people coming to ask for an audience.

The next day, when hundreds of officials went to court, Ling Xin'an did not summon him. He still hid in his mansion, making no sound at all. Except for the shopkeeper of his family who went out to buy supplies, he did not see any servants going out. More importantly,

His Majesty did not summon him.

Countless words circulated in the capital, and everyone focused on the mansion and the palace.

In this way, three days passed, Ling Xin'an's mansion became lively, and the servants could go to the capital. They wore prefect clothes that were different from any other officials, with the word "Ling" embroidered on their chests, and went to the capital in groups.

The Eight Scenic Spots in the capital are full of beautiful scenery, and many people who have never been there will go to see it. Ling Xin'an's servants came to the capital for the first time, and naturally wanted to go out and enjoy it, so only people in the capital saw their presence.

As for Ling Xin'an, he stayed quietly in the mansion as always. Outsiders didn't know anything happened. Even no one from the Ling mansion came to ask, and he himself didn't visit his parents.

"Is there a gap between father and son?" someone said.

"What is this? It's obvious that the son has returned home in fine clothes and looks down on his father!"

"I think so. The whole world is saying that Jiangzhou City is more prosperous than Beijing City."

"By the way, Erdan, you have been to Jiangzhou, what do you think?"

"Jiangzhou City is indeed more prosperous than the capital city. There is no curfew in Jiangzhou City. You can have fun in the city all night long. By the Qingliu River, if you have money, you can have fun all night long!"

"As for the capital city, as soon as midnight arrives, a curfew is imposed, which makes it very uncomfortable."

"And Mr. Ling is said to be the richest man in Jiangzhou City. Look at the clothes his servants wear. Have you seen them?"

"No no!"

"I also heard that the ingredients purchased by Mr. Ling are all the freshest, and there are many categories. Vegetables, fruits, beasts, and meat are all fresh. He wants a lot of them, and he has become the most popular buyer in the wet market.

Already."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I just heard that it's the adult's request. The food they eat must be fresh. The price doesn't matter, especially fruits and the like."

"Is it really that luxurious?"

"It's not extravagant. It is said that the adults in their family have said that the nutritional mix must be balanced. Fruits, meats and eggs must be balanced. If you buy so much, most of it is for people to eat."

"Is it okay for the servants to eat like this?"

"Yeah! The vegetable seller, Luo, was dumbfounded at that time, but he left after buying it!"

"What a rich family! It seems that he has set up his own business!"

"What does this have to do with it? We ordinary people, when we become adults and make money, shouldn't we also separate our families? I think that's what he means."

"Then why is Ling Mansion so indifferent?"

"My son wants to separate the family, but I don't agree with it!" An elder was smoking dry tobacco at the side and said: "In this world, if the parents don't agree to the family separation, most of them will never interact with each other until they die. I think the Ling family

That's what the third boy is like. You know, that boy is very rich, much richer than the Ling family!"

"Yes, that must be the case."

Hearing this, everyone in the Junzi Tower, the oldest and largest building in the capital, couldn't help but nodded in unison. That's what happened. Today's opera is still the same as yesterday, but the chat information is the freshest. I rewarded the opera singer with a few small coins, and then

It's a beautiful day.

In front of the door of Prince Jinling's residence, there was a creak, and three figures appeared. Ling Xin'an stretched and said, "Finally done, the weather is so nice today, let's go out for a walk!"

Xia Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Sir, if you don't go out, everyone in the capital will think you are imprisoned!"

Ling Shuang said: "Moving is really troublesome. Why do we have to pack more and more things?"

Ling Xin'an said: "I told you, just throw away a lot of unnecessary things."

"What's unnecessary? Who said this is important and that is important, and who was messing around after entering the door without seeing you move a hand?" It was okay not to say it, but Ling Shuang got angry when he mentioned it.

Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Yes, yes, please don't get angry, Miss Ling. You are a newbie here. It won't look good if you get angry!"

"snort!"

"Sister Shuang, which of the eight scenic spots in the capital do you think is the most beautiful?" Xia Xiaoyu asked.

"Let's go to Yongji Bridge today!" Ling Shuang said.

"Sir, is Yongji Bridge fun?" Xia Xiaoyu asked.

As everyone walked, Ling Xin'an said: "Yongji Bridge. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a girl in Jinling City. One day, she passed by the stone bridge and saw Ananda giving alms. When she saw the girl coming, Ananda

She said, "Donor, can you give me a bowl of porridge?" The girl looked up and saw a young Buddhist disciple with a handsome and solemn face. She asked, "Honorable Sir, is a bowl of porridge enough?"

Ananda said: "That's enough, donor."

So, the girl gave him a bowl of porridge. Looking at the handsome young man, the girl was moved, so she gave porridge to Ananda at this time every day. Ananda also had a young and innocent heart, and saw the girl every day.

With his ordinary heart moved, one day he dreamed that the Buddha asked him: "What are the seven emotions and six desires?"

Ananda woke up from the dream, and then came to the girl and said that he had returned to Buddhism in this life. His greed, anger and ignorance in the past had created the bitter consequences of today. He asked the girl to forget him and leave the world of mortals. After saying this, Ananda left.

, and we never saw each other again. But the girl still came to the stone bridge every day, waited silently, and never married. Until the last moment of her life, she murmured to herself: "I would like to turn into a stone bridge and withstand five hundred years of hardship."

The wind blows, five hundred years of sunshine, five hundred years of rain, just for him to walk across the bridge."

After hearing this, Ananda came to the stone bridge and cried loudly. He sat on the stone bridge and passed away that day. Before his death, he murmured to himself: "I would like to turn into a stone bridge and withstand the wind for five hundred years.

Five hundred years of sunshine and five hundred years of rain, but I hope that the girl I once was can walk across the bridge."

"Eternal time will come to an end, and this hatred will last forever!" Xia Xiaoyu looked at the ancient Yongji Bridge in front of her. Listening to Ling Xin'an's words along the way, she couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that Yongji Bridge would be so sad and beautiful.

.”

Ling Xin'an said: "Later generations will name this bridge that has survived countless dynasties Yongji, which means to maintain true love forever and help the world and the people."

"Amitabha!" A verse rang out from the side: "I didn't expect that Donor Ling knew so much about my Buddhist venerable master. There are very few people in the world who still remember Ananda's name, but Donor Ling talked about all the Buddhist allusions. How wonderful.

So good!"
