Chapter 24 Which sheep is so unruly
Inside Qing'an Palace.
Yan Buzhou faced Liu E directly, facing his aggressive momentum, but he was still not overly nervous.
Thank you for entering the palace in the Song Dynasty. Kneeling and kowtowing were generally not allowed. Even if you were tried in the Yamen, it was by no means a kneeling lawsuit that is common in later generations of film and television.
At the moment, if you don't speak carefully and pass the ceremony of bowing your hands and bowing, you are standing still as if loose.This will be more of a guilty conscience than nervousness when she sees that Liu E has grown up.
After all, the orb turned yellow strangely overnight, and this ominous omen was caused by her alone. Although she never regretted the methods she used, she would inevitably say sorry secretly when she saw the person who fell into the pit.
There was a moment of silence between the two.
"Liulang likes the outside world, and will sneak out when he has nothing to do. It has always been like this."
Liu E spoke slowly. It was normal for Zhao Zhen to change into a micro-clothes and go out of the palace when he was young. Now she is too lazy to figure out how much Zhao Zhen likes life in the market, or how much he takes this opportunity to meet the courtiers he admires.
"The old man invited you here just to see his friends outside. I heard that you are telling stories in Wazi, North Zhou, and you will also use pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The study room left by his father is entrusted to you."
ah?Send people to the gate of the city and bring them back, just to give a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones?
Yan Buzhou watched Guo Huai bring a wooden box, the box was not covered with silk cloth, and the lid was still open, as if it was specially designed to let her see that the inside was definitely not a hidden weapon for murder.
This is indeed a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The pens, inkstones and inkstones have all been used by others, and they are not famous products in appearance. The so-called paper is a booklet that looks like a memorial.Liu E said that it was something left by Zhenzong, and it was to be handed over to her.
Is to pay, not send.
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."
Yan Buzhou didn't refuse to accept it. Although she couldn't see anything special about the items in the wooden box for the time being, she had a feeling that these should belong to her.However, there is always something to say about thanking you in face.
Liu E raised her hand and waved it slightly, not intending to talk nonsense, "I didn't reward you, the thing is just returned to the original owner. Since you got something, you can go back."
Yan Buzhou murmured in his heart that sure enough, those who have been in the deep palace for a long time can only speak three points, if it is so simple that they just want to give her something, why waste a whole morning's travel time.
However, she didn't want to chat with her either, the queen mother obviously had nothing to talk to her about.Listen to Liu E's use of words in place, saying that she is Liu Lang's friend, not the emperor, and that this thing was left by Liu Lang's father, not the late emperor.
After saying goodbye, he followed Guo Huai out of Qing'an Palace without looking back.As quiet and speechless as when they came, one walked ahead, the other followed, and walked out of the palace gate.
Guo Huai suddenly made a sound, and took a brocade bag from his arms, "I have saved some gold and silver in Fuze Bank, and you can use it for money. Just a little, do your best in this life, and you must find out what is behind Hu Wei. Who the hell is there?"
"I will investigate." Yan Buzhou confiscated Guo Huai's brocade bag, and the case was not investigated for him.She was short-handed, and different from accepting what Liu E offered, she still politely rejected Guo Huai's investigation funds.
Guo Huai looked at Yan Buzhou's quick turn around, but he sneered and didn't force it. Is he afraid that he won't be able to give the money if he wants to give it?There is no need to give way at the gate of the palace.
Even if he hoped that the queen mother would live forever, he knew that he might not be able to survive for a few months.If the Queen Mother is gone, there will be no one or anything worthy of his nostalgia in the world. It is a pity that it may be too late to wait for the truth in this life.
That wooden box was left by the late emperor.The first emperor did not elaborate on the use of this object, but only said that Chen Tuan entrusted it to the royal family for safekeeping, and hoped that the Zhao family royal family would pass it on to his disciples in the future.
A set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones is extremely mediocre. Zhenzong should have directly handed it over to Zhao Zhen for safekeeping, but instead handed it over to Liu E because of extra considerations, or hoped to keep her safe for the rest of her life.
Even if he didn't pay attention to it before, how could Liu E not pay attention to the specific situation when the mercury monster incident broke out.She recognized the relationship between Yan Buzhou and Chen Tuan, and she will pay back what should be paid.Instead of forcing it to stay, it is better to hand it over to someone who traces the xenograft, or it may be useful.
Guo Huai knew that after Liu E told Zhao Zhen the truth, he didn't ask for more.Just because even if there are more than [-] people, even if they have tried their best, there will always be things that cannot be done.This could be life.
On the carriage, Yan Buzhou released Zhixuan and Zhibai to control the carriage to move forward slowly, while she took out the booklet that was pressed at the bottom, and after a rough flip, there was not a single word.
Is it still a wordless book?Then read it in the way of reading the heavenly book, and the power of the virtual mirror will be attached to it, and only a row of red letters will appear, and the title is a clear four words-"Instructions for Use".
This set of the Four Treasures of the Study is specially used by the Yin of the Yamen Fu Yin.For example, if you write a contract to hire demon officials in the yamen, you can get the approval of the wild mansion, which is really like the consequences of breaking this oath; And give Huangfu rewards such as improving aura.
So it was like this, Yan Buzhou lightly clasped the wooden box, this thing cannot be used by others, because it can only be used with the power of virtual mirror.
Now she really believed that the late emperor treated Liu E differently, and she might have given this object to Liu E as a talisman.But just like the plot in the storybook, not everyone can use the things of the fairy family, and those who are not selected cannot open the magic weapon correctly.
It's not surprising that the first emperor didn't give it to Zhao Zhen, because people's hearts are always biased.
Yan Buzhou is secretly thinking that Gu Jing really dug a good hole.
Previously, she had always felt that, as the prefect of the Yaoji Yamen who was airborne, Gu Jing left her with too little equipment.Even the identity documents were hesitantly wondering when they would be in place, and they didn't even give half a hint before such an important set of the Four Treasures of the Study.
"I can make up the contract with Jiaoying when I go back." Yan Buzhou also signed documents with Jiaoying before, but obviously the effect of the contract is completely different. "Have you never seen this before?"
"I haven't seen it before. The ancestor would treat us as children, that is to say, stories about monsters and people, and rarely mention serious things."
Chen Zhibai is also excited about this meeting, she will also sign the contract again, and she will officially become a member of the Yaoji Yamen from now on.It is clearly written in the user manual that the Huangfu will protect the employees in the staff from life-threatening threats, and will leave a sigh of relief and teleport back to the home in the event of a catastrophe.This breath is a matter of life and death.
Even Chen Zhixuan, who seemed to be driving calmly, showed joy on his face. Who wouldn't want an extra layer of protection, especially monsters like them with little attack power.
"That's true. I think the ancestor sent this object to the palace in the hope that the emperor would hand it over to your lord in the future. That is a kind of recognition."
Yan Buzhou shook his head helplessly when he heard the words, Chen Tuan had a good relationship with Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and later the succession of brother and brother happened, Zhao Guangyi succeeded the emperor, whether there is something tricky in it is another matter.
After Taizong Zhao Guangyi died and passed the throne to the first emperor Zhenzong, Zhenzong then transferred this artifact to Liu E for safekeeping. It is really not easy for this set of artifacts to return to the Yamen of Yaoji today.
It's not a malicious speculation. According to the cheating nature of the ancient mirror, sooner or later it will give a reminder that there are important items in the Empress Dowager's bedroom and must be taken back.At that time, should I ask Zhao Zhen to try to change it, or ask Zhan Zhao to introduce the thief of the rivers and lakes to help steal it.
"Fortunately, I avoided a pit." Yan Buzhou closed the wooden box and locked it in the dark compartment of the carriage, omitting to mention Liu E's complex senses, but joked that Zhibai and Zhixuan monsters also wanted to be formalized. The idea of needing protection really does not distinguish between dynasties and transvestites.
"Lin Yuan said that I can pass by at least a dozen mouth-watering food shops along the way, to celebrate your official entry, let's go to "Sanyang Kaitai" first! "
Yan Buzhou is not in a hurry to travel around this time, since he is in the city, he is not in a hurry to go back.Lin Yuan provided a travel guide around Kaifeng, and she delineated the nearest restaurant famous for its mutton.
'Sheep are auspicious, so they are used in auspicious rituals. '
In the Song Dynasty, from the aristocrats of the imperial palace to the common people of the Li people, they all liked to eat sheep very much.It may be because there is always a turmoil about what is not available. Most sheep are bred in the Liao Kingdom, and the price of sheep is high if the number of sheep is small in the capital area or in the south. For example, the wholesale price of a medium-sized sheep is five or six taels of silver, which is equivalent to five or six thousand. arts.The per capita income of ordinary people is one or two hundred Wen a day, and it takes a month to save up to afford mutton.
Relatively speaking, the price of "Sanyang Kaitai" opened in the countryside is a little bit cheaper, because it is backed by a sheep breeding area near the capital, and serves delicious mutton dishes to diners in limited quantities every day.
After leaving the city, Yan Buzhou took over the driving job and drove the carriage a little faster.Although "Sanyang Kaitai" is far away in the countryside, Lin Yuan said that there are many diners who come here because of the name, and it is basically not a windy and rainy weather, and the restaurants are full of customers.
Chen Zhixuan and Chen Zhibai looked at each other in the car and spread their hands helplessly, saying something to celebrate their entry into the series, but their appetites were very light, and they liked the aura between heaven and earth more than meat.Feel the fresh and tender meat that can't be praised in words, and it melts in the mouth, and its aroma is full of endless aftertaste.
Isn't it obvious who exactly wants to eat it?
The "Sanyang Kaitai" restaurant is surprisingly deserted.
Yan Buzhou found the place according to the plan when it was getting dark, but he didn't see the lively scene of the long queue at the door as rumored.Entering the restaurant, there were only three or four tables of guests. These people were either heavy-backed or fierce-looking. They sat scattered, with swords and other weapons placed beside the tables.
Everyone in the store looked at Yanbu Sanren who walked in with their feet up, and all of them had strange looks in their eyes.
The one walking in the middle is really good-looking, but no matter how good-looking it is, it's useless. The style of painting is completely different from theirs. How dare you wander around in such a dangerous time?
The shop waiter greeted him slowly, and said, "This shop is closed and we don't welcome customers. The three of you, hurry up and go into town before it's completely dark."
A burly man explained kindly, "That's right, mutton is not sold here for the time being. Haven't you heard that sheep cannibalize people here? Let's go—"
Yan Buzhou heard her stomach growling. She worked so hard to attract the fame, and she would be turned away if she didn't have a good meal.
Sheep eating people?
Which sheep is so ignorant of the rules!
