Chapter Seventy-Nine: Winning or Losing a Game Is Not Real
Gu Qingning's face turned pale, he took the medicine bowl, held his breath and frowned, and drank half a bowl of dark and bitter medicinal soup. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fusu took the bowl from her hand with one hand, twisted a dried apricot with the other hand and handed it to her lips for her to eat, to dilute the bitterness in her mouth.
Her face was still very gloomy, she stroked her abdomen with some sorrow, looked up at Fusu, and took her hand: "What should I do? I won't ......"
Fusu covered her lips with her fingertips, shook her head, and pointed to the medicine bowl, signaling that as long as she took the medicine well, she would be fine, don't worry.
To this day, she still can't sit and lie down safely, and at this time she is also sitting upright with the table, "That board is indeed heavier...... How did I think it would happen? Now I'm so scared......"
After Fusu washed her hands, she went to the bronze mirror to comb her hair. Since her hand injury, she couldn't even do something as simple as wearing a bun and a crown by herself, and Fusu would get up before her every day, help her take care of her and groom, and go to the Ministry of Industry early.
Yesterday I received the letter, and my father and brother will be home today. Although it was a period of rest, because the Tianyi Altar fortifications had not yet passed Qin Tianjian's inspection and audit, she still had to go to the construction site today, and the people who continued to deal with Qin Tianjian had no way to meet her father and brother first.
Before she went out, she repeatedly asked Fusu to wash her changed clothes, so as not to let others know that she was taking medicine.
Gu Qinghuan also got up very early today, prepared breakfast for his sister with a shy smile, waited for her to go out properly, and flattered her before leaving: "Lord Deacon, go slowly! Lord Deacon go home early!"
But he was still glared at by Gu Qingning, and said: "Don't think that you will spare you if you sell your good sister, wait until I get rid of Qin Tianjian's hateful warlocks, and then come back and teach you a lesson!"
Gu Qinghuan helped her into the carriage, and said helplessly: "Sister, I am also anxious for you, so I mentioned in the letter to my father that you were injured, you were beaten like that, how can I swallow this breath? I just thought about discussing it with my father, how can I ......?"
Gu Qingning knocked him on the head with his intact right hand, and said angrily: "The broken bones of the hand are difficult to recover? I was knocked out of half my life? This is still called mentioning? As for such an exaggeration? Qingfeng Chord Song knows what kind of frightened he will be? Father is in a hurry, you coax it!"
"Sister, isn't what I said true? The imperial doctor has said so, how worried I am, if your hand is ......" he read worriedly, and took another beat.
Gu Qingning advised: "Anyway, when my father is back, you are not allowed to say it so seriously! My hand is good, even if there is only one...... I'll beat you too!"
After she threw down her words, she asked Tang Bo to drive off, not to go to the Ministry of Industry today, but to walk a long way to the Tianyi Altar site.
At this time, the spring cold gradually receded, the warmth was happy, only in the morning there was a thin coolness, suddenly, it was the middle of February, when others were happy to play in the spring, she seemed to be approaching, and there was no moment of relaxation.
The body too, as if there is no place where it doesn't hurt or hurt. Kneeling on the bumpy carriage, she felt that this body was no longer her own at all.
Her eyes were fixed on her tightly bandaged left hand, and she was vaguely uneasy in her heart, thinking about it, she thought of the business that gave her the most headache......
Through the emergency renovation in these few months, the Tianyi Altar was gradually completed, and only the final repair was needed to complete it before the day of worship.
She and the entire construction department overcame many obstacles, tried every means to speed up the process and save materials, and stayed up countless all-nighters to finally breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect to encounter a big obstacle-
Before and after the construction of each fortification related to the royal family, it must be screened and examined by Qin Tianjian, who will choose the most auspicious and suitable direction for the fortification through astrology and divination, and carefully test the construction fortifications before completion to confirm that all items are safe, do not contradict the five elements of the day, do not touch unclean and bad things, do not offend the dragon and avoid it properly, and so on.
The world is superstitious, for example, Qin Tianjian's attitude towards the fortifications is very important, there has always been a Qin Tianjian priest who deliberately found fault by checking the name, set up a name, slandered and framed, was blackmailed or overturned and rebuilt the fortifications are not the most suffered, so there are not a few people who are killed and beheaded all over the house.
So from the beginning of the drawing, Gu Qingning paid special attention to it, he didn't want to be found fault with Qin Tianjian, the review had been going on for two days, and those priests were so strict that it was difficult, which made the people in the Ministry of Industry very angry.
This is the third day, and if it is not fully passed, another three days of review will be added according to the regulations.
For the Ministry of Industry, it is a critical moment in front of us, how can it delay and delay like this?
Gu Qingning secretly made up her mind, no matter what, she must pass the audit of Qin Tianjian today, definitely.
As a deacon of construction engineering and personally mediated with Qin Tianjian, she finally understood why Liang Zhengqing was so happy to agree to her succession to this position when she was promoted?
Anyway, the current hardships are planted on her head, which is really bearable.
She has been paying attention to the movements of the court, and knows that Lu Yuanzhi has been ignoring the government and not going to the political hall for a long time, so she nodded with peace of mind, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to act like this.
However, there are still rumors of her as a female official in the palace in the officialdom, and she is really worried all the time......
When she arrived at the site, it was just after the early dynasty dispersed, and the royal guards guarding the gate had already opened the door to pass, and the subordinates of the Ministry of Engineering who had dealt with Qin Tianjian with her in the past two days had also arrived one after another.
They were all complaining about Qin Tianjian's harshness, and some whispered that it was because of her, the deacon, that she was looked down upon by Qin Tianjian's priests, and some people secretly discussed whether to persuade her to go back and not come forward to interfere......
Worse still, it was suggested that she should privately give the priests some favors......
The two priests in charge of the audit came with a yawn, and as they had done two days before, they shoved the correction slip that had been handed in yesterday into the arms of the representative counselor, and said lazily: "Our high priest said that it still can't work, let your Ministry of Industry change it again, and check it again today." ”
The others looked at the Chen and returned it as if they were handed it in, presumably because they didn't show it to the high priest at all, and the old man in the officialdom knew in his heart that these two priests were trying to blackmail them.
They were all very discouraged and annoyed, Gu Qingning took the strip and only glanced at it, and when he looked up, he changed it to a flattering smile: "Okay, the headquarters will change it again." ”
Her cheerful attitude stunned them all, she wasn't like this two days ago......
She pointed to the Tianyi Altar and said, "Then please continue to check the two of you...... Oh, by the way, I just remembered that there are four divine beasts carved on the wall in the attic of the altar, but no one has ever seen this divine beast, I see that there is a divine beast in that picture whose claws and whiskers are somewhat similar to the dragon, I'm afraid it's a bit taboo, right?
She made an inviting gesture and led the two priests to the front, smiling at them, with a hint in her eyes, deliberately raising her cuffs to reveal the corners of the silver ingots in between, and nodding meaningfully at them.
The two priests knew that she had finally come to her senses, and they gladly followed her into the altar hall.
She turned back to the people of the Ministry of Works: "The temple is strict, and the inner temple is the most sacred, so it is not advisable to disturb it, so you wait in the outer temple first, and wait for the deacon and the priest to go in and inspect it." ”
They stopped in the outer hall, Gu Qingning walked inside, and then turned around and said, "Who brought the fire fold?" The inner hall is very dim, and it has to be lit with candles. So one of the counselors gave her the fire fold that he had brought with him. ”
The three of them entered the inner hall and lit the lights, Gu Qingning pointed to the top of the attic on the east wall, and said, "That's it." ”
She winked at them and patted the ladder against the wall, "Yes, it's up here, you have to go up to get ...... Found. ”
The two young priests looked at each other, hesitated, but climbed up the ladder and went up to the attic, where a ring of stone walls protruded from the wall, just enough to accommodate a stop.
When they went up, they looked around and asked, "Where is it?"
Gu Qingning smiled and said, "Just a little ahead, under the stone carving, you can take a closer look, and light the fire fold to find it." ”
A counselor blew the fire and approached the wall, groping under the carving.
However, as soon as he brought the flame close to the carved wall, a fire burst out in front of him, and the closest wall sculpture to the flame immediately ignited.
The two men were so shocked that they almost fell down as they shouted and put out the fire.
Gu Qingning below also screamed in surprise, and the sound inside startled the people outside, and they hurriedly rushed in to see what was going on.
I saw Gu Qingning shouting to the priest above under the ladder: "You two are so bold! You dare to set fire to the wall carvings!"
