Chapter 27 Peach Blossom
Chapter 27 Peach Blossom
On the ninth day of July, the general examination began.
There are a total of three examinations, each of which takes three days, a total of nine days. After the examination is over, the palace examination will follow.When the imperial examination is over, the envoy team for Suri will arrive. At that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will surround these envoys. As the leader of the courtiers, Jiang Sui can almost imagine how busy he will be.
Throughout July, there is hardly a day off.
Thinking of the dark future, Jiang Sui felt a headache. He needed to go home to replenish his energy, pass his life, see his younger brother, and then come back to start a hard life of overtime.
Ever since the quarrel broke up on the seventh day of the seventh day... this idiom seems to be inaccurate, after all, when Wei Xun and Jiang Sui separated that night, both of them looked good.However, from that night onwards, Jiang Sui felt that the atmosphere between himself and Wei Xun had not recovered, and there was always a strange feeling that seemed to be nothing. , only staying on the surface, the normal relationship in the past has now become torture.
Coupled with this reason, Jiang Sui wanted to go home and stay for a few days.
According to past experience, every time Jiang Sui mentioned that he wanted to go out of the palace, Wei Xun was not very happy and would always come up with various excuses to let him stay. Jiang Sui thought it would be the same this time, and he was fully prepared The draft was bound to achieve the goal, but what he didn't expect was that Wei Xun readily agreed to it as soon as he proposed it.
The happiness came so suddenly, Jiang Sui was still a little uncomfortable, and Wei Xun agreed so quickly, it always made him feel that he had ulterior motives.
But he didn't ask too much, he was afraid that if he asked too much, Wei Xun would regret it.
Thanks to His Majesty for your kindness, Jiang Sui didn't stay longer in the Hall of Martial Arts, and happily went back to Wenhua Hall to pack up his things. The examination has already started, and the next busiest ones are the examiners. Jiang Sui has nothing to do with these, he He can stay at home until the end of the examination, even the palace examination, in fact, he has nothing to do, at most, when Wei Xun examines Gongsheng, Jiang Sui sits and listens.
Maybe he can stay there until the palace examination is over, until the envoys from the past day come, and then come back.
No, by that time, he had already lived in his own house for half a month. After such a long time, is it necessary for him to come back to the palace?He can live in his own house all the time as a matter of course!
Jiang Sui was pleasantly surprised. Originally, he didn't want to live in the palace because his reputation was not right and he was easily impeached by the censor. But when Wei Xun was a child, he said that he was lonely and refused to let him go. He was soft-hearted and stayed. Later, When Wei Xun grew up, he was still not allowed to leave, and he got used to living in the palace after coming and going.
He almost forgot that the Prince Regent's Mansion outside the palace was his real home.
It doesn't seem right to say "home". It should be said that it is his real residence.
No matter what, a bright future was waving in front of his eyes, Jiang Sui went back with a smile on his face, Wei Xun sat on the dragon chair, watched him leave, then continued to lower his head, reviewing the minister's memorial.
It's good to go out for a few days.
Always staying in the palace, all Jiang Sui met were his people, and Luo Meisi had no way of finding out, but after leaving the palace, Jiang Sui saw people who could not be seen in the palace, and his state would also change. It was much more relaxed than in the palace, so he exposed more flaws.
Wei Xun lowered his eyes, and wrote quickly with his right hand. His words were supposed to be gentle, but they gave him a chilling aura.
The sharpness in the strokes is too exposed, looking at the words he wrote, Wei Xun frowned, but did not take any remedial measures, but threw the memorial to the other side casually, regardless of the minister who presented the memorial seeing these words that penetrated the back of the paper. Will Zhu Pi be so scared that he can't sleep.
He threw the memorial more vigorously and impartially, the memorial hit the bottom post of the lantern, the lantern and the memorial fell to the ground together, and the candle was broken into several pieces.
Qin Wangshan: ...
His Majesty has not really calmed down for so many days, and now that the prince is going out of the palace, His Majesty will not even have the time to pretend to be pleasant.
In summer, the Hall of Martial Arts is like ninety-nine winters, who can tell the pain in his heart.
With a sigh in his heart, Qin Wangshan squatted down willingly and began to clean up the mess on the ground.
Wei Xun was in a bad mood, but Jiang Sui was in a very good mood. There was nothing to do in the Wenhua Palace, but there were still some official duties left for him to take care of, and then he would bring two sets of court clothes so that he could afford the money. go home.
Jiang Sui walked into Wenhua Hall with a smile, only to find that there were two more people at the entrance of the hall.
They were not ordinary guards or eunuchs, but two boys in white clothes with a Tai Chi Eight Diagrams around their waists.
Jiang Sui froze for a moment, then understood, he strode forward and entered the main hall, the people waiting inside heard the movement and turned around.
The national teacher is standing in the center, he is wearing the same white clothes as the boys, and there is rarely any clever expression on his innocent face, but it is also because of this that he can always maintain the image of a spotless fairy.
Jiang Sui had restrained his emotions before he came in. When he saw the national teacher, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, showing a just right smile, "Long time no see."
The national teacher's indifferent eyes fell on his face, and immediately, he tilted his head slightly, "Are you happy?"
Jiang Sui: "..."
How did you get it?
After a moment of silence, he asked the national teacher to sit down, and then asked, "What can I do for you?"
The national teacher has no surname, only a Taoist name, named Han Lu.He is less than 20 years old this year. He went down the mountain five years ago and followed his master's order to go to the capital. As a result, he almost starved to death under the gate of the capital's gate because he didn't understand the world.
It was Jiang Sui who happened to be drinking at Tianzi Wangyuan, saw someone fainted from hunger, and asked someone to buy him two steamed buns, which saved the life of the ill-fated little Taoist priest.
According to Han Lu himself, he came from a famous family and was a top student in the Taoist world.Jiang Sui didn't know much about the affairs of Jianghu, but he inquired among the people, and found that the sect that sent Hanlu came out was really famous, at least the common people knew that at that time Wei Xun just lacked the momentum of "God's destiny" , So, after some investigation, Han Lu was invited to work.
After becoming a national teacher, Han Lu lived in a special imperial Taoist temple. Over the years, he and Jiang Sui hardly had any other interaction with divination, praying for rain, and presiding over sacrifices. They only met at the sacrifice ceremony.
I don't know why he came here in person today.
Han Lu didn't answer Jiang Sui's question, but first looked at Jiang Sui carefully from head to toe.
Jiang Sui's head felt cold when he saw him.
Here it is again, Han Lu's way of looking at people is really weird, his eyes seem to be empty, after being stared at by these eyes for a while, Jiang Sui feels uncomfortable, as if he is really entangled by something unspeakable Same.
Finally, after Han Lu had finished reading, Jiang Sui breathed a sigh of relief when Han Lu asked without answering, "Is your old illness cured?"
……
Many people have asked him this question recently.
Jiang Sui was silent for a moment, then laughed, "Okay, it's been a long time ago."
Han Lu stared at him and frowned: "If it's not good, it's not good, you don't need to lie to me."
Jiang Sui: "..."
He stared blankly at Han Lu, unable to believe that his deception had failed, even Wei Xun couldn't tell that he was lying, how did Han Lu do it, could it be that he can read minds?
As soon as he thought of this sentence, Han Lu said: "Don't think too much, I just know how to look."
Jiang Sui's expression was stiff, and for a moment he didn't know whether he really heard his own heart, or answered his heart by mistake.Han Lu didn't look at him again, he lowered his head, took out from his sleeve for a while, and then took out a small dark gold mini incense burner the size of a fist, he handed the incense burner to Jiang Sui, he was stunned for a moment, Jiang Sui finally realized, Han Lu To give it to myself.
Without opening it, Jiang Sui looked at the incense burner suspiciously, "What is this?"
Han Lu replied flatly: "The newly refined elixir may relieve your old illness."
Jiang Sui looked at the small incense burner in his hand, shook it a few times, and as expected heard the sound of particles colliding, he asked speechlessly, "Why don't you put it in a porcelain bottle?"
Han Lu was silent for a long time.
Just when Jiang Sui felt that he had been silent for too long, Han Lu spoke again, "This is a golden elixir."
Jiang Sui: "?"
Han Lu raised his eyes, "That's why it should be stored in a golden container."
Jiang Sui nodded, indicating that he was taught: "Is this the rule of your alchemy?"
"No," Han Lu shook his head, "but I think it's so pretty."
"..."
Jiang Sui opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, and finally couldn't think of the right words, so he simply closed his mouth.
Putting the small incense burner aside, Jiang Sui waited for a while, and found that Han Lu had nothing else to say. He had a guess in his heart, but he still asked, "You came here today to give me the elixir?"
"Yeah," Han Lu nodded, "I heard you've been sick lately."
Jiang Sui: "..."
It should be said that he has been pretending to be sick recently.
Laughing in his heart, Jiang Sui's brows and eyes became gentler, "Thank you."
Thinking that he was about to leave the palace soon, he mentioned: "I'm going home today, do you have anything you want, next time you enter the palace, I'll bring it in for you."
Although both Taoism and Buddhism pay attention to living in poverty, Taoism is more relaxed than Buddhism, and there are many branches of Taoism, some of which do not avoid meat and fish, and some can marry wives and have children.
At first, Jiang Sui couldn't see clearly upstairs, he only saw that the fainted person was a person, but he didn't expect that it was a little Taoist priest, he sent someone to buy two meat buns, and Hanlu also gobbled them up, and after eating Asked if there was any more.
It can be seen that their sect should have no taboos.
As the national teacher who was enshrined by the entire Wei Dynasty, Han Lu can get what he wants, but he doesn't need Jiang Sui to go for him. He shook his head again, and Han Lu raised his eyes again, staring at Jiang Sui hold on.
Jiang Sui was really afraid of being stared at by him, and he also wondered why only Han Lu looked at people with such terrifying eyes, as if he had opened up the two worlds of yin and yang.
Even though he was sitting on the most expensive chair in the world, Jiang Sui was still on pins and needles. Just when he couldn't help but want to interrupt, Han Lu blinked, and the chilling feeling disappeared suddenly. Looking at Jiang Sui intently, "You have to be careful."
Jiang Sui's heart skipped a beat, no, wouldn't it?Did he really see something unclean?
Immediately afterwards, Han Lu explained: "You recently committed an offense against Peach Blossom."
Jiang Sui: "..."
The nervousness disappeared instantly, and he thought it was something. When he went out to tell a fortune, eight out of ten fortune-telling booths gave young people fortune-telling fortunes. This sentence has almost become a mantra of fortune-tellers.
Maybe the common people think that Han Lu has great supernatural powers, but Jiang Sui doesn't believe it. In his opinion, Han Lu is just an ordinary person who has nothing to do with reciting scriptures and lighting fires. Otherwise, can I starve myself out under the city wall?
He thought so in his heart, but he wouldn't say that, and smiled again, Jiang Sui said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."
Han Lu saw that he didn't believe him, but he didn't say any more. He could only mention one thing. As for whether Jiang Sui would listen to him, that was out of his control.
After sending Han Lu away, Jiang Sui took care of all the official duties, and when he stepped out of the Wenhua Palace, he remembered the four words Han Lu said, "Fate to commit a peach blossom", and couldn't help laughing.
He has never dealt with women, and now he doesn't go to brothels anymore. For the next whole month, he will live a life of overtime work where he gets up earlier than chickens and sleeps later than dogs. , Could it be that his peach blossoms are official business?
Jiang Sui shook his head and walked out.
The author has something to say: Hanlu: sonaive (light cigarette)
