Chapter 76: Slapped Him
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Yu, although no one dared to ask, it didn't mean that everyone was not curious. Mu Wanping glanced at Li Yu and turned her head away with a sneer.
Li Yu looked at Li Heng with a smile, Li Heng shrunk his neck, and was still there in a dying struggle: "I really can't say it?"
Li Yu was about to speak, but he heard Mr. Qiu in the flower hall say: "In addition, according to the rules of my holy gate, my disciple worships the master, and I, who is a gentleman, should have a gift." β
Mr. Qiu gestured to his entourage, and the entourage walked out with a wooden box in his hand, and everyone looked curiously at the small box that the entourage was holding.
Someone said: "I heard that everyone rushed to receive the disciples of the Holy Gate in the previous times, but I don't know what Mr. Qiu gave today. β
Mr. Qiu took out the contents of the box, and everyone saw that it was a book, but the words on the paper made the talents present confused.
The fifth prince was closest to Mr. Qiu, and couldn't help but hesitate: "This is ......"
Mr. Qiu smiled faintly and looked at Xue Xingyi: "Do you know what kind of book this is?"
When everyone heard this, they shifted their attention from the book to Xue Xingyi, wanting to see what Xue Caizi could say.
Mu Zhizhen let out a "huh" in the private room and got up from his seat, as if he wanted to read the book in Mr. Qiu's hand more clearly.
He Linwan also saw the book, and the surprise in his eyes flashed. He recognized this book, and few people in the world knew the words "Xuanyuan Testament" on the paper, because it was a legendary ancient text. And the entire "Xuanyuan Testament" is full of this kind of distorted text. The average person will get dizzy when they open it and look at it.
The reason why He Linwan knew was because the book was placed in her grandfather's study before the Yang family suffered, and it was said to be her great-grandfather's things, why did it now fall into Qiu Yu's hands?
He Linwan was in a state of shock, and Xue Xingyi said lightly outside: "Xuanyuan's suicide note, the legend is that it was handed down by Emperor Xuanyuan. β
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar when they heard this.
Mr. Qiu stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, this is Xuanyuan's suicide note, it was in the hands of my uncle before, and after my uncle died, it was returned to an old friend of mine, and he returned to his master by coincidence a while ago." Today I will pass it on to my disciples. β
Mu Zhizhen was stunned: "Sure enough, it's Xuanyuan's suicide note......"
Li Xiaoheng was confused: "It's just a broken book, it's still an incomprehensible one." What's there to be surprised about?"
Mu Zhizhen shook his head: "There are many legends about Xuanyuan's suicide note. Although many of them are conjecture by later generations, they are not necessarily true. There is a saying that the person who can read through Xuanyuan's testament must be an unborn person, the king is the Ming Jun who can bless the foundation of the century, and the minister is the virtuous minister and the minister. Therefore, the value of Xuanyuan's suicide note is no longer in what it is about. It's ......"
He Mian touched his chin and continued: "But the people who can get this book can make steady progress? Who was the last person who got this book?"
Mu Zhizhen thought for a while and said: "The last time this book came out was more than a hundred years ago, it was obtained by Zhao Renjie, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty. Later, it is said that he gave it to a certain minister. It is also said that it was lost. But now it's in the hands of Mr. Qiu. Presumably, it has changed hands several times in the past 100 years. β
Li Xiaoheng pursed his lips when he heard this: "So the people who are wise and virtuous are all Meng, otherwise why don't you see someone who has come out with this book to call for wind and rain in the past hundred years? I didn't expect that you scholars are superstitious than those women!"
He Linwan glanced at Li Xiaoheng, and for the first time, he felt that this kid made sense when he spoke. The book was moldy in her grandfather's study, and there were traces of insect bites on the title page, and there was really no magic in it except that the words on it were difficult to read.
Mu Zhizhen didn't smile when he heard this, and he didn't bother with Li Heng.
Outside, the fifth prince and the sixth prince looked at the book in Mr. Qiu's hand and had different thoughts.
Outside, Mr. Qiu has already begun to take the examination for those talented scholars.
Li Yu looked at Mu Zhizhen: "Shao Ai won't try?"
Yuan Chun also nodded when he heard this: "Brother Mu's knowledge does have the power to compete. β
Mu Zhizhen is indeed very interested in this book, even he himself does not believe in those legends, so Mu Zhizhen seems to be a little hesitant when he hears this.
Mu Wanping glanced at Mu Zhizhen and said with a smile: "Is it your uncle and grandfather who won't let you go?" Back then, you just turned around in front of everyone, and he let you Taoguang stay in obscurity for so many years, and you were not allowed to take the lead in anything, your grandfather and grandmother were willing to listen to him for everything, but your future is your own, why should you listen to others?"
Mu Zhizhen disagreed when he heard this: "Sister, my uncle and grandfather are also for my good." β
Mu Wanping wanted to say something, but Mu Zhizhen frowned, and his tone was slightly heavier: "Sister!"
Mu Wanping realized that the environment here was really not good for talking about things at home, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
He Linwan glanced at Mu Zhizhen and Mu Wanping's sister and brother, and secretly groaned in his heart, Mu Wanping's uncle and grandfather were Mu Rusong, the first assistant of the cabinet. The children of the Mu family have produced talents from generation to generation, Mu Zhizhen should be the leader of their generation, why did Mu Rusong's old fox prevent Mu Zhizhen from worshipping under the disciples of the Holy Gate? Is it just to let Mu Zhizhen Taoguang cultivate obscurity?
He Linwan was hanging his head thinking about things, Yuan Xiang quietly leaned over and whispered: "Sister He, I want to change clothes, do you want to go?"
He Linwan came back to his senses and saw that all the talents in the flower hall had begun to compete for knowledge, He Linwan was not too interested in this, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll go with my sister." β
He Linwan and Yuan Xiang went out of the private room together, Taibailou has always entertained female dependents, so it also prepared a quiet room for the female dependents to change clothes, the quiet room was smoked with sandalwood, He Linwan felt a little stuffy and came out after cleaning his hands, standing outside in front of the window of the small hall used as a rest to breathe.
Suddenly, He Linwan saw a middle-aged man wearing a cyan shirt walking by in the opposite aisle, and at a glance, He Linwan felt that the figure was a little familiar, and she had an excellent memory. However, after thinking about it a little, he remembered that he had seen this person before, but he did not have a beard on his face at the beginning, and his appearance had changed greatly.
This middle-aged man's name is Zeng Heng, who once served as her eldest uncle's staff, but his eldest uncle's staff has a lot, this Zeng Heng's talent is generally not reused, and he stayed in He Mansion for more than a month before he resigned and returned to his hometown due to the death of his mother, and not long after he left, the Yang family had an accident.
If it weren't for He Linwan's ability to never forget, he wouldn't have recognized this person so quickly after his makeover.
How could this Zeng Heng appear here? Didn't he return to his hometown to guard his filial piety? He Linwan remembered that the Yang family had been accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and his suspicions became bigger and bigger. When He Lin came back to his senses in the evening. So she hurried out and followed.
He Linwan deliberately lightened his pace. followed Zeng Heng all the way without being noticed, and He Linwan also knew that her behavior today was very inappropriate, but she still couldn't stop herself from following, she had a hunch. This Zeng Heng may have something to do with the Yang family's affairs.
In the end, He Linwan saw Zeng Heng enter a room from a distance.
He Linwan did not rush to follow. Instead, he looked around. This is in the easternmost part of the Taibai Building, a little far away from the flower hall where today's poetry meeting was held, and it seems to be near the pantry. Because He Linwan saw a few maids carrying trays walking by.
He Linwan waited for the figures of a few maids with trays to disappear before gently walking to the room that Zeng Heng had just entered, but when she stood outside the door, He Linwan was a little difficult, although she heard a lot better after becoming He Linwan, but she couldn't hear any movement inside when she stood outside, after all, this was not a private room around the flower hall, but it was just covered by a screen.
But He Linwan wanted to know how Zeng Heng appeared here, and who he was here. He Linwan couldn't help but stand in the corridor and carefully look at the window of this room, the window seemed to be covered with cellophane, He Linwan walked over lightly and was thinking about whether to make a fuss about this window paper, but Zeng Heng suddenly shouted in the room: "Who is outside!"
He Linwan was shocked, she had already heard the sound of Zeng Heng coming over to open the window, but this was a long corridor, and it was too late for her to find a place to hide now.
Just when He Linwan was about to pretend to deal with Zeng Heng as if nothing had happened, her arm was pulled by a force, He Linwan subconsciously wanted to make a sound, and she didn't want her mouth to be covered from behind, and then He Linwan only felt that she was in front of her eyes, and she was pulled into a room next door, and then the door closed quickly and silently in front of her eyes.
He Linwan opened his mouth in panic and bit the hand that was tightly covering his lips, and the body of the person behind him stiffened, but he couldn't bear to make any sound, just to prevent her from struggling to make a sound, and he stuck to her tighter. At the same time, He Linwan heard a "squeak" outside, and the window next door was opened, and He Linwan was stunned.
Zeng Heng opened the window and looked left and right, and saw that he didn't find anyone, so he closed the window again. But after a while, the window was suddenly pushed open again, and Zeng Heng's face appeared in front of the window again. This time, Zeng Heng was sure that there was indeed no one outside, so he closed the window again.
The person who restrained He Linwan lowered his head and leaned into He Linwan's ear, and his voice was cold with some gnashing teeth: "Don't let go yet!"
The man's warm breath gently brushed He Linwan's ears, and He Linwan couldn't help but tremble, and his ears were a little red. Although He Linwan is only 10 years old, Yang Weizhen is more than ten years old, and she understands things between men and women.
He Linwan slowly let go obediently, and the person behind thought that He Linwan heard his voice and was no longer struggling, so he gradually let go of the arm that was holding He Linwan, not wanting He Linwan to slap the person behind him as soon as he was free, and he didn't look at it.
The man behind him was defenseless, and he was slapped firmly in the face, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Although he was afraid of making too much movement, He Linwan's slap was not too heavy, but it still left five red fingerprints on the man's handsome face.
Li Yu had never been slapped in the face when he was so old, so when he came back from the shock, the anger in his eyes made his dark pupils look a little dark.
If Li Heng knew here that this was his brother's expression of extreme anger, he would have been scared a long time ago. But He Linwan just glanced at Li Yu coldly, and took out his handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and carefully wiped the hand he had just slapped Li Yu on.
Li Yu's face can no longer be described as black as the bottom of a pot.
After He Linwan finished wiping his hands, he continued to ignore Li Yu and looked at the room he was in, which seemed to be a guest room. No wonder Li Yu suddenly appeared here just now, it turned out that there were two doors in this room, one leading to the corridor where He Linwan was standing just now, and the other was open on the opposite wall.
He Linwan didn't bother to ask why Li Yu suddenly appeared here, and pulled herself in, she thought about which door to leave from. Just when He Linwan decided to return the same way, Li Yu suddenly withdrew his gaze from her and looked out the window, and He Linwan couldn't help but be stunned, because she saw someone walking past their window, and then there was a knock on the door next door.
He Linwan quietly approached the window, wanting to see who it was, but she couldn't see anything. Seeing that the door next door was opened, Zeng Heng called out in a low voice: "Childe." β
Then the two men went into the house, and the door was shut.
He Lin held his breath and tried to see if he could hear the conversation next door, but although some outside sounds could be heard in this room, the sound insulation between rooms was excellent.
Li Yu didn't look at He Linwan again, but walked to the wall next door, and moved on the bronze wall lamp hanging on the wall, and didn't know what was going on, the ink landscape painting that was originally hanging on the wall suddenly moved half a foot to the side silently, revealing a few small holes below. In the next moment, the sound of the next room came from these small holes.
He Linwan was stunned and glanced at Li Yu, who stood in front of the painting with a cold face, looking like no one wanted to enter and no one wanted to deal with him.
He Linwan didn't have the time to be angry with Li Yu, because she heard the voice of the person who had just come in: "What's the matter?"
This voice is so cold that it doesn't seem to have a bit of the smell of fireworks in the world, He Linwan is very familiar, she has also heard this voice read in a more gentle tone, but other men read to their fiancΓ©es "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good", but he read the tax harvest record of a certain county, or the file of a certain tragic case......
Xue Xingyi!
How could Zeng Heng, who used to be her uncle's staff, know Xue Xingyi and call him a son?
Xue Xingyi, I really have never seen through you.
He Linwan thought self-deprecatingly.
It's late again...... T-T wanted to use my mobile phone to ask for leave, but I couldn't log in......
