Chapter 115 Palace + study
Yao Sanlang saved his old friend and cheap son, and hurried back to the capital to go to work. Going to work is very important!You only get paid when you work!But what was horrifying was that when he came back, he ran into the emperor taking the empress back to the palace in the dark, and his eyes met with embarrassment.
The emperor smiled calmly: "Where did Sanlang go? He came back late at night, could it be...going out for a drink?"
Yao Sanlang was extraordinarily free and unrestrained: "How dare you." There was no trace of Daiyu in the Taimiao. I escorted her to find Fourth Sister Wen."
The emperor thought of the little sister Loli who just 'woke up from a nightmare and ran to knock on the door', and believed his words.
Putting on a cloak and nodding earnestly: "Perhaps the Taimiao is full of the souls of ancestors, which is too gloomy, and the young girl lacks yang energy, so she can't bear this gloomy yin energy. You go and tell her that you don't have to come again, just go back to the palace." I At that time, why did you drag her to accompany me?Ah, to compete with the Supreme Emperor for Yao Sanlang.
Yao Sanlang bowed and said, "Yes."
The emperor looked up at the sky, the Milky Way was twinkling, and the sky was twilight. He asked enthusiastically, "Is it true that the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in the sky really have a Magpie Bridge meeting on the seventh day of July every year? Is it true, or is it just rumored by the people?"
Yao Sanlang said: "Well, in theory, it is like this, just like in theory you want to clean up here alone."
The old emperor blushed, put his arms around his shoulders and entered the room, and sat down: "Yunqi, Sanlang, you still don't understand, you have a beautiful wife by your side every day, and suddenly guarding the empty room alone, how can I bear it. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl don't you?" Can you ride a cloud across the river to meet?"
Yao Sanlang said: "One day in the sky, one year on the earth. From the perspective of the mortal world, they meet once a year, but actually"
The emperor was shocked in seconds: "Hey! We meet every day? It's just that the mortals think it takes a long time?"
"Correct."
The emperor asked again: "The last time you told me what happened to the emperor and general? I can't remember."
"After the death of a Taoist lord and a virtuous queen, they will be led to heaven by immortals, and will be under the jurisdiction of Emperor Gouchen or Emperor Ziwei Beiji Taihuang. Because of benefiting all people and doing millions of good deeds, they will ascend to heaven and receive immortals. Suffering from the cycle of life and death." What Yao Sanlang said was the truth, what he didn't say was: Youdao Mingjun's achievements are difficult to achieve.
The emperor rubbed his chin happily, thinking that he would be successful, so he didn't run away~: "The queen is a perfect queen, isn't she?" Only a dozen new sets of clothes are made every year, and the food does not require extremely rare delicacies from mountains and seas, and there is no extravagance Desperate request, queen!
Yao Sanlang nodded: "Yes."
The emperor leaned on the table, lazily covering up: "So, what about the concubines in the harem? They are extravagant and arrogant, and their family members bully others. Will such concubines' crimes affect my morality?"
It feels like Yao Sanlang's whole state is not right, as if,,, suddenly became mature and stable?
It was still a bit erratic and wild at first, but now it is much calmer.
Yao Sanlang thought for a while, and said: "If you say it has no influence, it is a lie. But as long as it is not a favorite concubine, and it is not a bad thing done under your Majesty's order, then it is not a big problem. People who are extravagant and arrogant, don't care There is no concubine in the family, so they are not thrifty."
Emperor Dayue: "Okay." Then he sent him away, happily catching up on sleep.
After returning home, Yao Sanlang wrote a letter: "To Brother Chixiu, Yunqi realized that he was short-sighted, short-sighted, and unusable. Only when he knew how to use the book, he hated less. He didn't follow the teachings of his brother all these years, and wasted his good years. It also caused my brother to suffer mentally and physically, and Yunqi was in trouble. Now I want to change my past and become a gentle and steady man like you, brother. I beg you to give me your advice. Brother Yunqi bows down."
Soon, the senior brother wrote back: "Yunqi has this ambition now, and I am very satisfied with it. First read the two books "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Chunqiu Zuoshi Zhuan" thoroughly, and then do it. Late.
Here are three questions for you: On the difference between the signal of dynasty change and the chaos in the world; Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Liu Bang were both uprisings at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and on the difference between their victory and defeat; Witchcraft, prophecy, and five virtues in all dynasties are useless, why? Enduring prosperity.Don't let other people see these questions, you know?After reading the two books, answer the questions and send them back. If you really understand something, I will teach you other things.Chi Xiu wrote it himself. "
Attached to the reply is Zizhi Tongjian, Chunqiu Zuozhuan and a night pearl.
After Yao Sanlang received the letter, he immediately hung up the luminous pearl to illuminate the room, and spread out the book to read.
Before I finished the first volume, another paper crane flew over.
Senior brother Bilu's letter and a jar of tea: "You all left when I came back, why is it so hasty?
Give the tea to Daiyu, Yunqi, don't be greedy and sneak a taste, you can't drink it good or bad, and spoil the good things for nothing.Bilu wrote it himself. "
Yao Sanlang was very unconvinced, he opened the lid of the tin tea canister, thinking that I would not drink it, so I just smelled it, and was stunned at the time.The tea inside is divided into small paper packets, and on the first packet it is written brightly, 'Yao Yunqi, you little bastard, don't steal it!Didn't you hear me? '
Yao Sanlang was stunned: "How do you know?"
Pick up this pack of tea leaves, and read the words on the next pack: 'Still watching?Dare to steal a drink?Have you really learned it? '
Disappointed, Yao Sanlang put down the tea leaves, closed the lid, poured a glass of water, and started reading with the book in his hands.
…………
The two masters and apprentices who were catching up on sleep woke up.Fourth Sister Wen felt that there was someone in her arms. She opened her eyes and asked in a daze, "Daiyu? When did you come?"
Daiyu replied lazily, "Last night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high."
I feel bored and have many unsolvable questions lingering in my mind. What is life?What is death?Where is the gap between life and death?Why do people work hard?Where does hatred come from?What is more important than life?I am me now, who was my previous life?Who will I be in my next life?
Fourth Sister Wen pulled out her hand and stretched her waist: "Ha~~ Oh! I thought it was because I missed you so much, I dreamed that you came to me."
Daiyu hugged Master happily: "Master~~ Do you often dream of me?"
"It's not often. I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that I would take you to a martial arts conference. You are charming and arrogant, and you come and go like the wind. The two of us eat meat and drink so happily~"
Daiyu stared at her master's silly and clear smile, hey, if a person could be so heartless and happy forever, that would be great.But people always have to grow up. Some people grow up reluctantly, some people have to grow up, and some people are killed before they have time to grow up.Although the death of the little spider is very pitiful, is this not its luck?
Daiyu asked in a low voice: "Master, are there no dead people in the rivers and lakes?"
Fourth Sister Wen was taken aback, and scratched her head: "How is it possible that no one will die? Why do you ask this question? What's wrong?"
Daiyu had a faint sadness and helplessness on her face: "Since people are going to die, why are there so many people rushing forward, huh?"
"Hahahaha this is a question, everyone has a different reason for entering the rivers and lakes." Fourth Sister Wen rolled comfortably on the bed, then rolled back to her original position: "I entered the rivers and lakes for freedom and revenge.
She doesn't enter the rivers and lakes, but she has martial arts but wants to marry an ordinary man she doesn't know. She is locked in the back house to have children and spend her life.As for Brother Zhuo, he entered the rivers and lakes for food and clothing. Many people are like this. They can't read, don't want to farm, and have no brains in business, so they learn some martial arts and enter the rivers and lakes to earn their lives. "
Daiyu asked again: "Even if the tip of a knife licks blood, don't you care? Are they willing to die generously when life and death are at stake?"
Fourth Sister Wen was stunned for a while: "Why do you ask these questions? Think of something else, such as what you want to eat later."
"I want to eat pickled fresh meat and rice with bald butter." Daiyu suddenly remembered that there were still crabs thrown in the bamboo grove in the imperial garden! !Didn't eat it all! !Will it break?
Fourth Sister Wen asked again: "Do you want to eat master's cooking, or anyone can do it? It's not me bragging, the cook's skills are no worse than mine."
Daiyu hugged her and did not let go, and said stickily, "I want Master to hug her, let the cook do it."
Fourth Sister Wen got up and went to the door to give orders, then came back, "Daiyu, why are you unhappy?"
She scratched her head: "It seems,,, you asked me about life and death last night?"
When on earth did you come?Did I sleep so deeply?
Daiyu hesitated to speak, and simply narrowed down the great changes that happened last night into one sentence: "Yao Sanlang had a friend who died, and he went back to attend the funeral, so I felt that life is impermanent."
Fourth Sister Wen said heartlessly, "Isn't it normal for a friend to die?"
"Is it normal? Yao Sanlang's friend is a fairy, and he should be able to live a long, long life."
Fourth Sister Wen laughed: "Hahaha, the demons in Fengshen Yanyi and Journey to the West died in one pot. How did that guy die?"
"Well, it's hard to say." Wait!Wait a moment!Death in one pot?Master, you really stay true to your profession in three words!
"Then don't rush to talk, tell me a story after dinner."
Daiyu sighed and smiled, the master's careless appearance is so cute: "I want to listen to the master's story."
Fourth Sister Wen raised her eyebrows: "Okay, I haven't told you a story for a long time."
After talking and laughing for a while, they got up together to wash and dress up. Daiyu saw some rouge and gouache on the dressing table, and opened it curiously.When the little girl saw the rouge, she habitually tapped a little on her lips and pursed her lips: "These rouges have never been used before, why don't you use them?"
Fourth Sister Wen leaned down, put her face next to hers, and sighed in the mirror: "Well, there is a shadow around you, do you see it?"
Daiyu giggled: "Master, don't make trouble, you are not so dark." It's just...it's really dark.
(Although the ages are different, please automatically bring in the group photo of Guo Degang and Lin Zhiying)
Sister Wen made a fool of herself on the spur of the moment: "When you miss Master in the future, go out and look at the sky on a dark night without moon and stars, as if Master is in front of you."
"Hahahahahaha, master, if there is a crescent moon in the sky, what should we do? Just treat it as you wearing pearl jewelry?"
Fourth Sister Wen was serious: "No, that's Bao Zheng and Mr. Bao standing beside me."
Daiyu leaned over her desk and laughed, all her worries disappeared: "In this way, turning off the lights every night is almost the same as having Master by my side."
"That's right." Fourth Sister Wen said with a smile, "When you think about it this way, don't you feel very at ease?"
Daiyu said: "Yes~"
The two of them went out of the house together and went to the backyard to fight boxing and practice knives. The salted fresh meat would have to be stewed for at least half an hour, so there was enough time for everything.
Because of Daiyu's previous epiphany, her true qi was running more smoothly, and even her sword skills were running more smoothly and freely, completely natural.
Fourth Sister Wen's sword skills are still proficient, and she practiced her sword skills back and forth in the courtyard. She exchanged a glance with Daiyu, and she hooked her hands together: "Come on, no need for internal strength, just a simple fight."
The two held their knives, pretending to be hypocritical, bah, and they continued to make and block each other's moves.
"I'll stab you like this, I'll stab you down"
"Boy worshiping Buddha and turning upwards"
"Tick? What if I withdraw the knife and chop diagonally?"
"No, you have to block my knife, or you will open your neck."
"Oh, that's right. You tease me and chop me up, so you can move forward like this, and fight close to me?"
"I can spare a hand to scratch your itchy flesh."
"Master!! Hahahaha let go hahahahaha"
"Hahahaha, let's not make a fuss. Close combat depends not on moves, but on reaction speed. It all depends on instinct. What else can we fight?"
It has been practiced for nearly half an hour, although it is not too much, but it is not too little.
I went back to the room to freshen up, and moved to eat. Not only was there a large bowl of salted Duxian (green bamboo shoots, bacon, pork belly, and ham soaked in milky white soup), but also soy milk fritters, small meat buns, Shredded pickles cut as thin as hair, small wontons, and because there are too many things with soup and water, there are two servings of hot and dry noodles.
The two masters and apprentices ate a big meal, and Fourth Sister Wen paid attention to eating less. She only ate a bowl of salted Duxian, three fried dough sticks, and a bowl of wontons, and nothing else.
Daiyu was very careful: "Master, do you have a bad appetite?"
"No." Fourth Sister Wen patted her belly, embarrassed: "Master, you have gained a lot of weight, didn't you notice it?"
Daiyu said honestly: "Master, you have always been...very blessed." You have always been so fat.
Fourth Sister Wen pretended not to understand: "Xiang Baozi is losing weight, and I have noticed that I have gained a little weight recently, so I will move more and eat less."
Daiyu looked at her stomach worriedly: "Is that okay? You still have a baby with you, won't you starve him?"
Fourth Sister Wen picked up a small handful of fat from her belly, and said distressedly, "This is enough, there is no need to eat a big meal to feed him."
Daiyu has never studied nutrition: "I'm only half full of what you eat now, how can it be enough?"
"Don't worry." Fourth Sister Wen slumped into a chair and smiled lazily: "Generally, when women are pregnant, they only eat so much. It's not that I eat less now, but that I ate too much before. If I Starve her and I'll know."
Daiyu looked at Master in surprise, blinking her big eyes: "Will he talk to you? Is this the legendary mother-child connection?"
Fourth Sister Wen nodded vaguely to fool her: "Hmm, we have telepathy."
Daiyu stared at the stars: "Really? It's amazing (⊙o⊙)~"
The maid cleaned up the dining table and brought up a large plate of juicy red oranges.
Fourth Sister Wen was invited to tell the story of Brother Monkey again, and Daiyu talked about the grievances and grievances between Baihe, Starscream and a certain beautiful boy from the perspective of a third party, and then asked: "This kind of thing is very troublesome. Even though the boy was framed by someone, it's still annoying, isn't it?"
Fourth Sister Wen thought for a while: "Well,,, it's more than annoying. If someone slanders Brother Zhuo like that, I" will definitely tear my face and fight him immediately. Eh, not necessarily, it depends on who the woman is.If it is a stunning beauty, I will believe it.
Although Daiyu didn't finish what she said, but saw the murderous look on her face, she bit a sweet orange: "If someone slandered Master like that, would you believe it?"
Fourth Sister Wen moved closer, and said in a low voice, "If I were in front of him, I would say I don't believe it, but actually, how could I not believe it at all. I just want to listen to his explanation."
Brother Zhuo has never been interested in men and women. I always thought he was gay, or frigid.
This is an absolute workaholic.
Daiyu also said: Starscream killed her own child and committed suicide to apologize, just to excuse her parents and other sons.
Fourth Sister Wen raised her eyebrows: "This girl is not stupid."
"(⊙o⊙) Huh?"
"Daiyu, hey, you're still young, so you don't understand." Fourth Sister Wen scratched her head, "Sometimes it's not a good thing for a helpless child to survive. His mother is going to commit suicide, isn't he? If her father is framed, she will definitely not care about her. This is similar to the death of both parents. If an orphan does not rely on relatives to raise him, or grows up on a family meal, he will either become a beggar or be trafficked. "Looking at the appearance and color have their own uses, anyway, it is not good for life.
Daiyu was a little sentimental: "So, Starscream is also a loving mother?"
In fact, it is not ruled out that she was forced to give birth to a child, so those who hate forcing her also hate this child.But Fourth Sister Wen still nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Daiyu felt a little better in her heart, remembering that the souls of the mother and son two spiders really embraced and floated up at that time, hey, no wonder the old Taoist priests and old Zen masters in the story said that monsters have different ways, this way of thinking is really different.
Fourth Sister Wen saw that she was caught in the thinking about life and death and couldn't extricate herself: "Daiyu, I heard a saying called life to death."
Daiyu instantly understood the 'unclear sense': "What do you mean by that?"
Put it to death and come back to life?How can you know death if you don't know life?
Fourth Sister Wen froze: "Well... I just heard this word, and I don't know what it means."
Ugh, why should I say a good word as soon as it comes to my mind?
This is a philosophical vocabulary, right?Philosophy is the most troublesome thing.
Daiyu silently went to study and meditate.
Fourth Sister Wen practiced her inner strength silently, meditating.
…………
"Chi Xiu, come with me." Immortal Zhenyuan came back empty-handed, obviously, he had already disposed of the crane.Chi Xiu was pushing a big rock in the yard, and he kept cutting it with a knife, trying to make it exactly the same as the one that Bi Lu swallowed.
Chi Xiu put down the stone and knife, and followed behind him obediently: "Yes, Master."
"Yunqi left again? How is he doing? Didn't he do anything out of the ordinary?"
Chi Xiu respectfully offered a cup of fragrant tea: "Yunqi did something so out of character, so scary, that I couldn't figure it out."
Great Immortal Zhenyuan was startled, he didn't bother to drink the teacup: "What?"
Chi Xiu said with a frightened face: "After he returned, he wrote to me immediately asking me what books he should read and how to study to become smart. The disciples were so scared that he thought he was taken away."
Immortal Zhenyuan drank the tea with a smile: "Okay, okay. Chi Xiu, you've learned badly, and you actually frightened me."
Chi Xiu bowed and said, "Forgive me, forgive my sin, this disciple was ecstatic and lost his composure for a while."
"Forgive your innocence." Daxian Zhenyuan smiled for a while, but still couldn't believe it: "Yao Yunqi really said he wanted to read a book?"
Chi Xiu snickered in his heart, saying that I didn't believe it either, but it was true.He took out the letter from his junior brother and presented it with both hands for the master to read.
"Tsk, okay." It is more difficult for him to study hard than for ginseng fruit trees to bear fruit. Ginseng fruit trees will definitely bear fruit, but he may not be able to study hard.Hey, I didn't expect him to have today!
Chi Xiu asked again: "Master, what should we do with that white crane?"
Immortal Zhenyuan said indifferently: "Yuanshi Tianzun, that cheapskate, only sentenced him to face the wall and think about his mistakes for 3000 years. If he doesn't repent, he will be sent to reincarnation. Hmph, it seems that I can still remember this after 3000 years."
Chi Xiu was not surprised, as expected, even if Master still remembered after 3000 years, he had to pretend not to remember, how could he be so narrow-minded as to never forget?He said slowly: "Master, Yun Qi is not careless in making friends, Hong Niangzi can be regarded as a spirit of loyalty."
He told the ins and outs of the matter again, and said: "Yunqi buried the red lady's mother and son in her lair, and performed a supernatural rescue, letting the other spiders go."
Immortal Zhenyuan waved his hand: "Let him go."
Chi Xiu also reported: "The batch of elixirs made from the leaves of ginseng fruit trees and the beard of the Supreme Lord are very effective."
Great Immortal Zhenyuan calculated happily for a while, smiled and nodded: "It really works, I will pull out a few more next time."
…………
Daiyu lived with her master for two days, practicing martial arts, reading, eating and sleeping happily every day.
Fourth Sister Wen was trying to refresh her mind by reading books like "Guiguzi", "Warring States Policy", "Three Secrets and Six Strategies". Daiyu didn't want to read so many stories of conspiracy and conquest. , Even if you live forever, you are not smart enough and strong enough.
On the third day, he was taken back to the palace by a warm sedan chair sent by the queen.
The queen felt a little uneasy, could it be that she heard what I said that day when the emperor and I had a private meeting in the Taimiao?So avoid me?It's so embarrassing, I rarely lose my composure, why did she overhear me?
I heard that martial arts practitioners have sharp eyes and ears and can hear the sound of horseshoes miles away. Did she hear that day?Although you can't do anything to me if you hear it, but, it's just embarrassing.
When the warm sedan chair arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City, a group of eunuchs were changed to carry it. It stopped at the gate of Yongfu Palace and passed it in. The queen got up immediately.
Daiyu got off the sedan chair and walked quickly into Yongfu Palace. The Empress greeted her from the main hall.
The queen grabbed her and hugged her in her arms: "My Yu'er, my sister-in-law misses you so much." Hey, if she didn't hide, it means she didn't hear.
Daiyu blushed, although her relationship with the queen was close, but not to this extent, she put her arms around the queen: "Sister-in-law?" She blinked innocently, what's wrong with you?
How could she remember the two dirty words she heard through the door, what happened to her was the big deal.
The queen smiled and pulled her into the room: "Being away from you for a few days, I don't even have anyone to read books or recite poems with me. I'm really bored to death. I heard from the emperor that Yao Shenxian couldn't put down his books all day long, and he seemed to want to become a university student." Shi, even the Taoist scriptures have been put down."
Only then did Daiyu realize that she hadn't seen Yao Sanlang for two days, and he didn't come to pester her: "Oh, it's strange."
The two sat down, and the maid brought fragrant tea and refreshments, and Daiyu took a sip of the tea.
The queen ordered: "Bring here the box sent by the emperor." Inside the box was a pair of cork playing cards.The queen laughed and said: "The emperor said that this thing is very interesting, but he didn't say how to play it, only that you can play it. Daiyu, isn't this thing just a domino? What's so special about it?" I really want to know how he bet Peanut almost gambled to death.
Daiyu explained it, the queen listened interestingly, and beckoned someone over to start the game.
The author has something to say: I don't think the previous cuteness has made much progress. I want to write some interesting plots to promote the progress of the relationship. It seems... self-defeating?It seems that the relationship between the two has not made any progress. Instead, Daiyu started to study philosophy, and Yao Sanlang really started to obediently make up lessons.
