The Shanhe Sect carried out extensive construction work, and Shenhe Village was transformed into the Qianshan Gate. Most of the main buildings of the sect were built on the mountain behind Shenhe Village.
Fortunately, there is money in Zhuangzi, and the Murong family's savings over the years are more than enough to build a sect if they are still far from rebelling.
A few workshops were simply built over the Yulingmen building.
There are brewing workshops, weaving workshops, soap and perfume workshops, and even glass-making workshops.
Let those ordinary people work inside, so that the Shanhe Sect will have a steady stream of wealth.
After arranging everything, Ma Dayuan acted as the hands-off shopkeeper, lying comfortably on the rocking chair and listening to Zhao Qingcheng's beautiful piano music.
There were sisters Yu Linglong beside him. One of them rubbed his shoulders, and the other fed him fruits.
Abi and Xiaolian danced in front.
The other ladies, Wang Yuyan, Qin Hongjin, Mu Wanqing, including Li Qingluo, all drank afternoon tea and enjoyed life while watching the dance.
When Yu Qingping was feeding fruit, she felt her finger being held by someone.
Her pretty face turned red, and she secretly glanced at the sisters next to her. Fortunately, no one paid attention, and glared at someone in a pretentious manner.
Someone didn't care and continued to go his own way. At this moment, someone from the village came to report:
"Reporting to the head, there are people outside the gate asking to see you. There is an official with many people waiting outside the mountain gate."
Ma Dayuan ordered the doorman to bring the visitor to the living room.
Since he was an official, he must be related to the princess Zhao Qingcheng, so he took Zhao Qingcheng with him to meet the visitors.
When he arrived in the hall, the guests were waiting for him.
There was an official wearing an official robe and a black gauze hat. This official was about ten years old and had an elegant appearance. When he saw Ma Dayuan and his wife coming out, he quickly stood up to greet them.
"Xu Shilin, the prefect of Suzhou, has met the consort and the princess."
Ma Dayuan was stunned and asked curiously: "Prefect Xu, what are the names of the elders in your family?"
Magistrate Xu did not dare to think too much and answered honestly: "My father, Xu Xian, has a Chinese character. My mother is Bai, whose full name is Bai Suzhen. I also have an aunt named Xu Jiaorong, and my uncle, Li Gongfu, is the head catcher in Qiantang."
Everything is correct. Could it be that he traveled through the world of immortals? Ma Dayuan couldn't help but continue to ask: "Is there anything special about your mother Bai Suzhen?"
Xu Shilin was stunned, wondering why the prince-in-law was so interested in his mother. Thinking that his mother was old and probably had no connection with him, he answered truthfully.
"My mother is from the Xiaoyao sect. I heard from my mother that when she was young, my mother met a gangster while traveling in the world. She was injured and was saved by my father. The two of them became attached to each other because of this. I wonder if my consort has anything else to ask?"
"No, no, I'm just curious, what kind of family can cultivate a talent like you?"
Ma Dayuan laughed, and thought to himself: It shocked him, it turned out to be just a coincidence, there was no such thing as a white snake or a green snake.
When I asked Magistrate Xu about the reason for this visit, I found out that the Magistrate was ordered by the emperor to build the princess mansion.
In this era, generally favored princesses have their own princess mansions. Even if they are married, if they are wronged in their husband's family, they can return to their own princess mansions to live.
Unexpectedly, the emperor came all the way to build a princess palace for Zhao Qingcheng. Whether it was to win over him or Huangdi really loved his daughter, he had a very good impression of this father-in-law whom he had never met.
According to Zhao Qingcheng's request, the princess palace will be built in the center of the mountain of Shanhe Sect.
After the few people had reached an agreement, Xu Shilin stood up and said: "Princess, the consort, when the official came, he received the emperor's instructions. The emperor heard that the consort wanted to establish a sect, so he specifically asked the official to build the princess's mansion together."
"What?" Ma Dayuan was a little dumbfounded. The emperor wanted to help, but he didn't tell him earlier. He had invested so much money in vain.
Well, this saves a lot of money. Anyway, I am from the Song Dynasty. If the emperor really encounters any difficulties in the future, I can just help him and return the favor.
After the negotiation was completed, Magistrate Xu said goodbye and went back to arrange for skilled craftsmen to come as soon as possible to build the princess mansion.
When Magistrate Xu came this time, he brought many palace maids and nuns, all of whom had served Zhao Qingcheng before.
Now, the little girl Qiuyue won't cry tired.
...............
In the palace of Xixia Kingdom.
Empress Dowager Li Qiushui listened to the reports of her subordinates.
Li Qiushui frowned, and through the white silk covering her face, she could vaguely see her face. She seemed to be in her late teens, with very beautiful features.
Li Qiushui is the Queen Mother of Xixia Kingdom. She has a half-ganghu, half-official organization called Yipintang, which has many experts.
The name of the person who is making the report is Helian Tieshu, the master of the First Grade Hall. He is very powerful in martial arts and can command all the masters of the First Grade Hall in Xixia.
After Helian Tieshu finished his report, Li Qiushui's majestic and charming voice came out: "Hall Master Helian, what you just said is that Ma Dayuan has a wife named Wang Yuyan, who is the daughter of Li Qingluo of Mantuo Villa."
"According to the information we have received, this is indeed the case."
"It should be her. I wonder if she still hates me?" Li Qiushui said to himself.
Helian Tieshu didn't know what the Queen Mother meant?
"Hall Master Helian, please step aside and let me think carefully."
After Helian Tieshu left, Li Qiushui slowly fell into memories.
Back then, I accidentally saw my senior brother Wu Yazi, always staring at a painting in a daze. After my senior brother left, I went to check it out by myself. It turned out that the painting on the painting was my junior sister Wu Xingyun.
He hated his senior brother's ruthlessness in his heart. He had followed him for so many years and even gave birth to a daughter for him, yet he was actually thinking of someone else.
In anger, he had a relationship with his senior apprentice Ding Chunqiu, and together with Ding Chunqiu, he knocked his senior apprentice off the cliff.
Later, he took his daughter away from that sad place. Because he personally killed his daughter's biological father, he felt guilty and took his daughter with him to explore the world.
Unexpectedly, her daughter was deceived by a heartless man and became pregnant.
In desperation, he betrothed his daughter to the Wang family in Gusu.
After so many years, the mother and daughter have no contact. She still remembers the angry look her daughter gave her when she left.
Li Qiushui rubbed his forehead with a headache. He originally wanted to go to Tianshan Mountain for a while to settle the score with Wu Xingyun.
It happened to be the time when that bitch's "Heaven and Earth Eternal Life Eternal Power" took effect, and she avenged her hatred for stealing her husband back then. Now it seems that she still has to go to the Song Dynasty first.
However, because of the villain at West University, his relationship with Ma Dayuan is not good, and his daughter Li Qingluo will definitely not speak for him.
Since the Song Dynasty gave up a princess in order to win over this person, then...
"Come here." Li Qiushui shouted loudly.
"Queen Mother, what are your orders?" A palace maid walked in with her head lowered.
"Let Princess Yinchuan come to see the Ai family."
"Yes, I will go and invite Princess Yinchuan over now."
Li Qiushui watched the palace maid leave and thought to herself: The Song Dynasty had Princess Qingcheng "Zhao Qingcheng", and our Xixia Kingdom also has Princess "Li Qinglu" of Yinchuan...
