Chapter 141 Tang 2
After the Lantern Festival is over, the New Year is over, the ministers resume their court, and the officials resume their work.
"Thousands of gates are unlocked and thousands of lanterns are lit, and the imperial capital will be moved in the middle of the first month. Three hundred wives dance with their sleeves, and the sound of lyrics is heard in the sky for a while. Good poetry." The emperor said angrily: "These ministers are so verbal at home every day, aren't they tired? Write it first Sing praises to the late emperor, and then sing praises to me. I have to sing praises even if I have nothing to do. Then sing praises to the people who live happily. In fact! There are still beggars in the capital!"
He cursed angrily, and threw the memorial into a box.There are labels on the two boxes, one of which is the 'Knowledge' series, and the other is a newly developed one, so Daiyu can ridicule it back.
Daiyu was not very willing: "Master said that women are too harsh and mean, and their faces will become ugly."
The emperor was shocked: "Can Mrs. Zhuo say such words?"
Dai Yuxin said that my master is great, brother, don't look down on her. "That's right, Master said it. Master means 'repay virtue with kindness, and repay grievances with straightness'. Don't roll your eyes and curl your mouth to sneer at others, it's not good-looking."
The emperor was a little shocked. Unexpectedly, Fourth Sister Wen still had such a state of mind, so he reacted randomly: "The meaning of repaying grievances directly,,, does it mean that you don't quarrel and draw your sword and cut it off?"
Daiyu blushed slightly, and nodded, "Yes, that's right." My master seems to be very cruel... but I have never heard of her beheading anyone.
The emperor slandered: She didn’t quarrel because she was stupid and didn’t know how to quarrel, (he automatically forgot how many times in the past he was angry with Miss Wen and wanted to hit someone) ╭(╯^╰)╮, if he didn’t quarrel, he would cut it with a knife, thinking about it So happy!
Even though Daiyu said so, she obediently opened the memorial, looked at it, and found a starting point to taunt: "Brother, that rotten rot, how do you usually write?" She even imitated the font.
The emperor lazily supervised her and cursed: "Wang style cursive script, you can write a little more cursively so that they can probably guess it." Cursive writing is faster, and basically the places that do not match the font can be eliminated. Cover up.
Daiyu pouted, thought for a while, wrote a spell, and handed it over: "Brother, can you see clearly?"
The emperor held it and looked at it for a while: "...Yes. Your rotten word is written like a black bump, and you can guess it from the context."
Daiyu snorted and laughed: "This is called Tianwei unpredictable, let him carefully consider His Majesty's intentions."
The emperor was also amused: "That's true, it really makes some sense." He knocked a few more melon seeds, his mouth was dry, so he got up to drink tea: "Why hasn't Yao Sanlang pestered you recently?"
Daiyu smiled and said, "He has other things to do."
"What is it? Is it a serious thing?" The emperor thought: I have known him for so long, he really has nothing serious to do, except chasing you and playing with you every day, making you happy, just holding his face and smirking and thinking about when he can If I marry you, I will at least take the time to coax my father.
Daiyu said: "He carved a seal for me. A few days ago I got a good bamboo root, which was very beautiful. I wanted to carve a seal. Brother Sanlang volunteered and said he could carve seals."
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "Daiyu, my brother will teach you a trick today. If Yao Sanlang pesters you in the future, you can ask him to embroider a handkerchief for you. If he likes to brag and brag like him, he will surely Yes."
Daiyu smiled but didn't answer, flipping through the next memorial: "I didn't say anything bad, why is my brother angry?"
The emperor said lightly: "I don't like this person."
Daiyu sighed helplessly: "But he didn't say anything wrong, why scold him?"
The emperor thought for a while: "Give it to me." With a swipe of his pen, he wrote a set of official articles, which probably meant that if there is something, it will be changed and if there is nothing, it will be encouraged. Not satisfied, you guess, I am very upset.
Daiyu put down her pen, took a sip of tea, rubbed her hands, took a break, and thought to herself: other emperors either asked the eunuchs to approve the memorials, or their wives helped to approve the memorials, or taught the cabinet, why is it me in this dynasty!Am I that reliable?Hmm~ so happy!
She secretly guessed while drinking tea, and suddenly remembered that she had never seen the memorial of her father, or the memorial of Jia's mansion for so long, obviously the emperor carefully sorted it when selecting.I'm also a little worried, now I'm writing these unimportant and worthless things, will the emperor's brother become more and more lazy?When I grow up, will he find someone else to review the memorial for him?
As soon as the emperor finished writing the official article, he looked up and saw her little face fluctuating from joy to worry, so he dropped his pen: "What are you thinking?"
Daiyu subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate for her to think too much about what to do in the future: "What about the golden knife?"
The emperor's face changed slightly: "It's nothing, everything that can be found out has been found out, and what can't be found out has to be found out."
Daiyu frowned slightly: "Why did everything end without a problem?"
The emperor calmly changed the topic: "The bamboo badge is so elegant, what words do you plan to engrave?"
Daiyu said: "I don't know, Brother Sanlang says he won't tell me, so he can surprise me."
Her expression was not very relieved.
The emperor laughed: "That's very good, I will give you a surprise first. In two months, Lin Ruhai will return to Beijing to report on his duties, and I may keep him. Lin Qing has worked hard for the country and stabilized the Jiangnan salt administration. It's a pity he can't be in the cabinet."
Daiyu was puzzled, hesitantly wondering whether to ask or not, or asked: "Why not?"
The emperor hesitated for a while, but still sat up in a serious manner. The villain in his heart was gearing up, intending to explain the truth to her clearly: "Do you know the duties and powers of the cabinet?"
Daiyu was dumbfounded by the question, and said gruffly, "I probably know something from the history books, but I'm not sure."
The emperor talked about the cabinet again: it is an organization where the most senior officials of the government discuss policies on behalf of various government departments, an institution similar to the emperor's secretary.
Daiyu asked, "Which one is higher, the cabinet or the six departments?"
The emperor sighed: "The six ministries were higher during Gaozu's time, and the cabinet was higher during Emperor Wen's time. Since then, each dynasty has alternated between high and low, so that the cabinet has doubled its efforts to please the emperor for power, and often fights openly and secretly. In detail, the cabinet is closer to the emperor. , and the sixth part is more professional."
Daiyu looked at him cutely, blinking her big eyes, not understanding what the struggle between these six books and the cabinet had to do with my father?
The emperor said: "The capital of the cabinet is similar to the prime ministers in the past. Although Lin Qing is loyal, he is your father. If he enters the cabinet, many things will be difficult to do. To be an official."
Daiyu understood, and laughed: "So that's the case, so what's your majesty's plan?" It seems that it is, and it seems that it is not good for the reputation of the three of us.
Seeing that she understood, the emperor smiled happily: "I can't tell you if there are any arrangements, just wait."
Well, I was worried that you were close to me and would intercede for Lin Ruhai's official position. Speaking of it, it is a long-cherished wish of a person to be a general and a prime minister. Lin Qing has always been very useful, and he will soon be able to enter the cabinet at the age of knowing his destiny , what a pity.
Daiyu left happily, thinking that she would see her parents soon, she was very happy.It doesn't matter whether daddy enters the cabinet or not, he has always been weak, so even if he resigns and retires to live in seclusion, he can take care of his body and live a long life, wouldn't it be great?It's just that Dad is full of revenge and poetry, and wants to do something. Although he doesn't know what the officials do every day, the emperor doesn't seem to want to give Dad a idle job.
Yao Sanlang drank tea, ate snacks, read a book and waited for her to come back: "You are back, come and see how my seal carving skills are."
Very gentle and virtuous.
Daiyu was served by two maids and took off her big clothes. She lightly walked to the table with lotus steps, picked up the strange-looking rectangular cube and looked at it. The bamboo root has been polished again, and it looks milky yellow like ivory. Covered with densely packed light-colored dots, it is like seeing a sky full of stars in broad daylight, with a feeling of dense stars.
She likes this kind of leisurely and wild texture, and turns to look at the words engraved on the printed surface.However, I don't know it the other way around.I had no choice but to go to the desk to get ink pads and notes, and print them out for reading.
It is a well-regulated seal character: I only hope to see each other often
Daiyu was taken aback, and called out in a low voice, "Ah!"
Yao Sanlang peeked at her: "Do you like it? If you don't like it, you can grind it off and re-engrav it, or change it to a piece of material."
The senior brother is really honest. He sent four catties of bamboo roots, all of which were roughly machined. Today, he wanted to polish them and then engrave them. His hands hurt from fatigue.
Daiyu pursed her lips, looked at him and smiled: "This poem is very good, I like it. I never thought you would choose this sentence." She thought she was going to engrave some molesting words, but it turned out to be... okay.
Yao Sanlang heaved a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground with a click. Looking at her smile, he gradually became infatuated: "Sister, do you think poetry is better, the one who carves it better, or the one who carves characters?"
Daiyu was not angry when she heard this, but instead had a feeling of 'as expected' and 'as it should be': "It's all good."
Yao Sanlang was so excited that he wished he could do 72 somersaults in succession to show his celebration, and wanted to hug senior brother and scream, thank senior brother Bilu for sending such a good bamboo root.He only had a faint smile on his face, and said very reservedly: "I still have a lot of talent, what do you want to engrave?"
"I remember a big one, engraved with 'Snowy night books, thousands of volumes, flowers, and a ladle of wine' should be good."
Yao Sanlang asked: "Sister, most people have stamps with a name and size. What is your name?"
Daiyu said: "No words. Daddy will not give me words until Jiji ceremony. What about you?"
Yao Sanlang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Let me tell you a secret. In fact, my real name is Yao San, and the cloud flag is the Taoist name." Submissive. "
Daiyu was stunned: "No way?" The name Yao San is no different from Liu Ji, it's so ugly.
Yao Sanlang said dejectedly: "Brother picked me up on the third day of March in the third year of Jian'an. At first he was not sure whether I could cultivate immortality, so he called Yao San first, and later he became a teacher and got a Taoist name directly. Sister , Do you think I should change my name?"
Daiyu said: "I always thought that Yunqi was your name, so I didn't dare to call it. If I knew it was your Taoist name, I would have called you Brother Yunqi."
Yao Sanlang rubbed his hands and smiled happily: "Okay, okay, I'll call it that from now on!"
Daiyu didn't answer: "What name do you want to change? "Anthology Zhang Heng": "The dragon fills the court, and the cloud flag blows." Xue Zong's note: "The flag is called the bear and the tiger. It’s called Yunqi.’ Liu Shipei’s Wenshuo Zongsao: ‘The clouds and flags are covered with stars and towering over the sky.
Yao Sanlang blurted out: "Yao Xiong? Yao Xiaoxiong? Yao Xiaohu?"
Daiyu laughed so hard she lay on the table and couldn't get up: "Hahahaha" I was thinking of Yao Xing*, I haven't figured it out yet so I didn't say it, how did you come up with such a cute name, my God, I can't stop laughing !
…………
Xue Pan finally escaped from the hands of the cute little girl. He finally passed the assessment and got three days of rest.
Baochai smiled gently and generously: "Brother, as the saying goes, if you don't practice your hands and feet for one day, you will be slow, if you don't practice for two days, you will lose half, for three days you will not practice layman, and for four days you will not practice staring. Although I will give you three days off, you have to do it yourself." Self-discipline, don't forget all the martial arts you have learned in three days."
Xue Pan bowed his head and bowed his knees to make amends with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I will be self-disciplined and I will not be lazy. I will go shopping and buy something. Didn't I say that the empress wants to let all the girls to be selected enter the palace for a banquet? I will buy some for you. New jewelry to go."
Just as Baochai was about to say something, Xue Pan ran away in a hurry, heading for the distance, to the free field.
Xue Pan left the Lixiangyuan of Rongguo Mansion and looked at the sky. The blue sky outside the courtyard was different from that inside the courtyard. It's spring.This dark cloud, hey, good guy, it’s so dark and layered, okay, let’s rain, it’s going to rain heavily, I’m so stuffy in my heart!
He sat on the second floor of the restaurant and drank, listening to the small hailstones outside the window, he felt so crisp and relieved his boredom, he wished to ask the buddy to take out an iron pan and put it on the ground to listen to the hailstones.Drinking hot wine, eating a table full of chicken, duck and fish, listening to the little girl singing next to me singing a little song about brother and sister, how pleasant it is.Why on earth do I want to practice martial arts, I can't eat well all day, and I'm beaten by my sister, oh, because my sister can beat me!Where is my sister's beautiful master?
He ate two mouthfuls of vinegar fish from West Lake, and another two mouthfuls of boiled fish. He felt that the singing girl was as beautiful as she was, but she was not as bright and presumptuous as Miss Mudan.If you can put such a flamboyant, gorgeous, talking and laughing beauty on the bed like that, like that, it will be worth dying for.Xue Pan was bored looking at the scenery outside the window. Although there were no girls with light clothes to watch this season, it was very interesting to see the scene where the pedestrians on the road got wet and shouted and ran, and suddenly they were slid by the hail. Hahaha.
At this moment, a horse came by from the south of the city, and two people sat on it immediately. The one sitting in front was a dwarf, and the one sitting in the back was the beautiful and familiar beauty who made him dream. The reins of the horse, holding the dwarf in his arms.
Xue Pan threw down his chopsticks and stepped on the window sill, he turned somersault down, still regretting his life in his heart, hesitated again and again, retracted his feet under the horrified eyes of the shop waiter, and ran downstairs with a ding ding ding ding: "Ms. Peony!"
Peony pushed the hat of the linoleum cloak, and felt a little annoyed seeing him, and hugged the dwarf in her arms tightly: "Xue Pan? How is your sister?"
Xue Pan held back his anger: "Everything is fine in Baochai, I miss you very much, and always ask me to invite my sister to sit at home. My sister has been away for a long time, and she didn't come back during the New Year, which makes me really miss it."
Peony wiped the face of the dwarf in her arms by accident, "I can't help it. I have gone out to get married, so I have time to bring my husband back home."
The dwarf wanted to say something, but she pinched him so hard that he almost passed out with his eyes rolled.
Only then did Xue Pan look at the dwarf, and he almost vomited in disgust. The skin on his face was wrinkled, and there was a tumor on his nose, as if he had two noses, one with a bigger eye and the other with a smaller one. , like a beaten Shar Pei with only one arm.
He jumped in shock: "Him? Such a three-inch ding! Is your husband-in-law the one who is not as good as a dog?"
Peony hugged the dwarf tenderly, and said sweetly, "You don't know his benefits."
After finishing speaking, he glanced coquettishly at the dwarf's face, and immediately felt sick.
Omg I'm such a genius, this disguise is so good it's disgusting!
While Xue Pan was standing blankly by the side of the road, Mudan flicked the reins and walked away with the dwarf in her arms.
After walking far away, the horse slowed down, and the dwarf gritted his teeth and said, "You strangled me!"
Peony: "That guy is always pestering me, almost annoying me to death, I helped you, shouldn't you help me get rid of annoying people?"
The dwarf snorted angrily: "Don't forget, I have a fiancee."
Mudan mocked: "Don't forget, your fiancée hooked up with your elder brother. If your aunt and grandma didn't pass by and kindly help you, you would have become a lonely ghost by the roadside."
The dwarf was silent for a while: "It is still unclear whether my fiancée was killed or on purpose. Miss Murong, you saved my life. I will definitely repay you, but not in this way."
Mudan's face was a little uneasy, and she forced herself to laugh twice: "Ahahaha, do you want to give me your life-saving grace? You think beautifully, and I still think you have broken an arm."
The dwarf's face was covered with thick makeup, and his veins almost popped out. It's too much for you to poke people's wounds like this!
However, this is the fact that he couldn't say anything, so he had to bow his head silently.
Arrived at Zhuo Mansion in a blink of an eye, got off his horse and entered the gate of the mansion, the dwarf was actually a head shorter than her, and the two walked in hand in hand: "Where is the master?"
"Master is in the study."
Mudan walked over with her arms around the dwarf's shoulders, and the passers-by all looked at her in amazement, is Miss Murong crazy?
The dwarf whispered, "Don't you feel bad?"
Murong Mudan raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Very well, the most important thing about people's ugliness is self-knowledge."
The dwarf rolled his eyes angrily, and swore in his heart for the [-]th time that he would never strike up a conversation with her again.
He quickly walked to the study, knocked on the door, and got permission to enter.Murong Mudan turned pale with shock: "Master! You are reading! You are reading! You are so fat!"
Fourth Sister Wen couldn't hold back: "Huh, you still know how to come back?" Half of the meat on the mother's waist is the fetus!
Zhuo Donglai has no tolerance for women's quarrels: "I want to quarrel. Second Young Master Tang, hello."
The dwarf took a step forward, being neither humble nor overbearing and polite: "Master Zhuo has real eyes, Tang Er has no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go, I heard that Master Zhuo recruits talents, so I come here to join you."
After speaking, he raised his hand to pull off the tumor on his face, and the thick disguise on his face, revealing a handsome face full of small red bumps, with willow leaf eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge, handsome and somewhat bookish.When he moved his body, his joints made a creaking sound, and he grew more than a foot taller, taller than Peony.
Fourth Sister Wen secretly exclaimed, she also knows how to shrink the bones, but the practice is very poor, the effect is similar to shrinking the neck and end cavity, and it can also be three or four inches shorter. Unexpectedly, a middle-level expert can have more than one foot of adjustment space.
Zhuo Donglai looked at his empty cuffs, and sighed slightly: "I've heard for a long time that Mr. Tang Er is a leader in the Tang family. When I saw him today, he is indeed very handsome. Ah, I'm sorry, Zhuo has no malicious intentions. If Mr. Tang Er doesn't dislike him, he can Please stay here, heal your injuries before making plans."
Second Young Master Tang's body trembled slightly, which seemed to be caused by his weakness: "Thank you, Mr. Zhuo, please borrow a pen and paper."
Zhuo Donglai stretched out his hand and gave way: "Please go ahead."
Second Young Master Tang pressed the white paper with a paperweight, picked up a thin pen, and lowered his head to draw for a long time. The machinery on the picture gradually took shape.Peony leaned on his shoulder and watched him draw, fascinated, but didn't understand what it was.
Fourth Sister Wen continued to read her book, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. From the beginning, she saw the Seven Star Lantern Wuzhangyuan, so she stopped reading, so people don't want to read the bad things behind.
The Second Young Master Tang held his breath and put down his pen, "Master Zhuo, this is the mechanism of the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. It was originally a secret technique of the Tang Sect. I present it today as a gift for an audience."
Zhuo Donglai still maintained his good moral character of not showing emotions, and nodded slightly: "Second Young Master Tang has a heart. Zhuo has heard a little about your family affairs. If there is something useful, Second Young Master, please don't hesitate to speak up."
Fourth Sister Wen's eyes are bright, like a baby sitting in a row: Are you going to fight?Are you going to kill someone?awesome!I'm going!
Young Master Tang Er nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Zhuo, for your kindness. Tang Er is indeed kind of unfeeling. It's just that talking like this is too unreasonable."
Zhuo Donglai personally called someone in, took him to take a bath and change clothes, to rest his mind, and after the rest he had a banquet to clean up the dust.Murong Mudan followed him bouncingly, and unscrupulously eavesdropped on the door when he was soaking in the bathtub.
Second Young Master Tang was trembling in the bathtub: "Well, Zhuo Donglai's aura is really scary. I thought my elder brother was scary enough, but I didn't expect him to be ten times scarier than my elder brother. Did you say something wrong just now? Is that right? What should I do! I don’t know anything except tricks and hidden weapons, it’s so scary, so scary, so scary.” Although the eldest brother is a jerk, imitating his appearance is very effective.
Murong Peony scratched the pillar silently because of her cuteness.
Zhuo Donglai silently calculated: Tang Er's personality has changed a lot, did something happen?How to resolve the dispute between his elder brother and him?What about the fiancée?Peony seems to like him very much, is it suitable?
When he looked up and saw Fourth Sister Wen who looked expectant, he sighed slightly: "Ze Lan."
Fourth Sister Wen blinked: "Brother~"
"After a few months, if the opportunity is right, I can let you lead a team to hunt down Tang Da." Zhuo Donglai said softly, "I know you haven't fought in person for a long time, and your knife hasn't drunk blood for a long time." Of course it will Let you go out and maintain an undefeated record, and wait until I find a way to get rid of all the hidden weapons on Tang Da's body, so that he will be discouraged and lose his fighting spirit and numb his spirit, and then you will behead him with a knife.Come back and ask Xiang Baozi to write a book for you, very good~
The author has something to say: Yao Sanmeng is not cute!Tang Er is not cute!Just tell me he's cute or not!
