The worship meeting is held every three years. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this year's grandeur is extraordinary.

For the great sacrifice to the gods, boys and girls must be chosen to serve the gods. There were five boys and five girls. Be between the ages of eight and twelve. Elected in advance by the designees. Serve the gods for three days and three nights in the temple of worship. Listening to the scriptures, serving incense, cleaning, etc. All the chosen boys and girls are rewarded richly after the sacrifice to the gods. At the same time, it will also be looked at a few times. Especially when it's almost time to say that you are pro-age. Men and women who have participated in the service of God are considered to have been baptized by God and are extremely sought-after. Often someone proposes marriage in advance, and the matchmaker has broken through the threshold.

Therefore, every year when the sacrifice to the gods comes, some people have already begun to be accommodating. There are families with children of the right age who do everything they can. However, there are very few places that ordinary people are lucky enough to get. But this year is different.

The choice of boys and women who serve God has not been decided for a long time. There is no news yet for the upcoming day. It wasn't until the next day that the announcement was made.

Break. This year, regardless of origin. Just report your birthday. Uniformly coded by the steward. At that time, the meeting of the gods will be decided on the spot. It will be read by the presiding master himself.

This news has undoubtedly attracted the attention of all eligible families in Mingyang City. Go down to the beggars, go up to the high gates. Everyone cheered up. You have to know how loud the name of the host master is. It's amazing to be able to kiss him. It is equivalent to a turn of fate.

It is said that the boys and girls who participated this time also had the opportunity to be appointed by the emperor himself to marry. Whether it's true or not. In short, it is said that it is divine.

The prefect and a group of people were receiving the officials from the capital to study the matter. The people of Mingyang City are eagerly waiting.

*－－－－－－－－－

Prefect's Yamen.

"The lower officials have compiled all the eligible statistics into a number. Mr. Zuo, please take a look. Xu Jingsheng said respectfully.

Zhang Yan, the left minister, has a straight face. "Not necessarily. Master Hong De was personally in charge of this matter. Leave it to the Pufa Temple. ”

Prefect Xu Jingsheng glanced at his subordinates. The visitor quickly withdrew.

"It's the lower officials who are not thoughtful. Adults should rest after a long journey. But let the lower officials delay. Make amends!" Xu Jingsheng said again and again.

It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Never get involved in gangs and factions. He knew it when he wasn't released. Over the years, there has been no change in Zhang Yan. Sit firmly in that position. It was the people who came to Mingyang City this time for him. Xu Jingsheng was confused for a while. I don't know what it means.

"No problem. Governor Xu arranged major events in a short period of time. You can see its capabilities. When I return to Beijing, I will tell my emperor truthfully. Zhang Yan took a sip of tea. Half-raised eyelids.

Xu Jingsheng was secretly happy in his heart. But he said in a panic: "Lord Zuo Xiang has won the prize." Duty of Duty. Deservedly!

Zhang Yan's gaze swept towards him. Then he pulled the corners of his mouth. "Mo Qian. Lord Xu will govern one side very well. The officer saw it with his own eyes all the way. After many years of exile, Lord Xu must be homesick. At that time, when the term of office arrives, it will naturally be a better way to luck. ”

Xu Jingsheng was blindsided again. Did this Zuo Prime Minister think of something and say something? They have nothing to do with each other. Why?

"No matter how much my lord praises it, there is nowhere to face it. But conscientiously. The same can be said for other people!"

"Oh, that's it. Lord Xu doesn't have to worry. Why did the official tell the truth so carefully? Zhang Yan suddenly smiled. The lid of the tea bowl rattled twice under his long fingers. Crisp and pleasant.

"Uh, hehe, my lord smiled. That --- the subordinate has something unclear, and I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

Xu Jingsheng's face stiffened with a smile. The body of the half-seated chair became more and more straight.

Zhang Yan didn't seem to care about Xu Jingsheng's words. The eyelids fell again. After a while, he said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xu Jingsheng felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Lord Xu's invisible pressure overwhelmed him. The words that he wanted to ask squirmed around his mouth, and he said after a long while: "My lord, does this sacrifice to the gods have a deep meaning?"

He raised his head slightly and looked at Zhang Yan cautiously. The Beijing official came forward, and such a big official position. If there is no other intention in this, how can it be so moving?

He must wait for Zhang Yan comfortably in these few days. It's just how much of this necessary benefit should be given. He didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Yan didn't move. I didn't look at Xu Jingsheng. "If the official says no, Lord Xu will not believe it. Hehe, look at you nervous. This official is not a man-eating tiger. What to be afraid of. To tell you the truth, the emperor attaches great importance to this worship of the gods. Just look at the arrival of several princes. However, the emperor explained that it should not be made public. There was no special treatment for the princes. Wherever they live, the intention is to let them experience the feelings of the people. I also came on my own along the way. Master Xu doesn't have to bother. ”

That's not the point. In previous years, why didn't the emperor attach importance to this place? If he was not mistaken. There are only two things that the emperor really cares about. One thing is about the Furong Order, and the other is the mountain bandits of Xuanyue Mountain. I don't know how much Zhang Yan knows. It's okay not to say it clearly. His term expires next year. It is best not to be re-elected. Even if there is no merit, it doesn't matter if you don't appreciate when you return to Beijing, as long as you can leave this place of right and wrong.

"Hehe, the lower official knows. We will strive to make a good use of this festival. ”

"Well, the choice of boys and girls for tomorrow must be reasonable. There is no favoritism. No matter who is chosen, it is treated equally. At that time, the emperor had another reward for this. Zhang Yan raised his eyes and swept towards Xu Jingsheng. He'd done his homework until then. He knows a little bit about the big things in Mingyang City.

Xu Jingsheng hurriedly responded. This year, the worship of God will say that he will die, and he will not dare to play cats anymore.

Zhang Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"The third prince of the Rong Palace's mansion is said to have disappeared here. I wonder if Lord Xu has heard of it?"

Suddenly asked, Xu Jingsheng was stunned. He's only heard about it. I don't know what Zhang Yan meant by asking.

"Back to my lord, it is rumored that the lower officials know. I also sent people to inspect, but adults also know that Mingyang City is surrounded by mountain peaks, and it is not so easy to find people. So far there has been no news. I guess it's just a rumor. Xu Jingsheng said cautiously.

"Well, the truth of what Lord Xu said, the saint also cares about the courtiers. This time, the official inquired on his behalf. No news is good news. It's good that Lord Xu is dedicated. Zhang Yan paused before saying.

Xu Jingsheng said that thanks to his selfishness first, he thought that if the prince of the palace was found by him, he would have him

benefits:

"But I don't know why the third prince suffered this hardship? A few days ago, it was freezing cold, don't have anything to do!"

"The recurrence of old diseases is uncontrollable. The official next to him is unknown. Lord Xu is compassionate. ”

Xu Jingsheng thought about the palace he knew. I also understood a little bit in my heart. So he asked no more.

He also reported to Zhang Yan on the arrangements for the worship meeting and the Shangyuan Festival. to send this bodhisattva away.

*－－－－－－－－－－－

Yan Wuxian thought that worshipping the gods would choose the people who served the gods and had nothing to do with her. It wasn't until someone came to call the door that we knew what was going on.

Regardless of whether they are from Mingyang City or not. As long as it's in Mingyang City. There is an opportunity for all children of school age.

In desperation, the goose reported without injury. Interestingly, the maid of the Yan family said that she refused to sign up. They all said that they were over their age. I almost didn't hide.

It makes the goose harmless and funny. I haven't drugged them myself, so why don't you let them go one by one, and be stupid.

So she smiled and said, after this village, there is no such shop. If they missed this opportunity, they wouldn't want to escape from her palms.

A few maids burst into laughter. Straight said to stay and let the girl retire.

The next day, when the first rays of the morning sun hit the rooftop. The geese were already on the street unharmed. The Shangyuan Festival in Mingyang City is not all concentrated at night. There are also good places to go during the day.

The boys and girls of the worship congregation are to be chosen in the evening. There are no conflicts in time. The celebrations will also be more lively in successive days.

The goose was uninjured and took the maid, and Rong Yuan took the little maid. The group walked down the street.

Yan Dongliang left, and a few little guys and Rong Yuan got closer. And he listened to him very much. I don't know what kind of drug I drank. Ling Yan Wuxian was amazed.

"Girl, look at the flowers over there, they are blooming just like the real thing!" called Dongshan.

"That's a real flower! I don't know!" a voice interjected.

The goose turned back unharmed. It was the noble woman and her maids who met that day. There were a few other girls I didn't know next to me. Individually, I looked at it and had a one-sided relationship. She remembered where she had seen it.

"Picture screen, don't make a second time! This girl, we meet again. The noble woman said. Gentle and dignified.

The goose nodded without injury. Didn't talk.

"Miss, she's so rude! I really don't know how much I am! Don't think that that liar has said a few good words, and just think that he can soar to the sky. Don't look at who my young lady is!"

The noble woman's face sank.
