Chapter 145: Faux Duty (For the Alliance Leader Zhuogu ~ Ming Ji Jiachang)
The little girl outside curiously looked at the door of the house, and saw Banqin walking under the porch, and hurriedly retracted her head.
"Mrs. Chen, please use tea." Banqin pushed a bowl of hot tea over and whispered.
Chen Banniang raised it slightly and took a bite.
"Chen Su is rude." She whispered.
Cheng Jianniang nodded slightly.
The room was dull for a moment.
"Chen Su is inadequate, impatient, narrow-minded and rude." Chen Banniang continued.
Maybe she finally said the depression in her heart, but after crying, she calmed down.
"I'm here today to thank..."
When she said this, she looked at Cheng Jianniang again, and sure enough, the lady looked at her calmly,
Chen Banniang laughed self-deprecatingly.
Thanks....Fool whom?
"I'm here today half to thank the lady, and half to get your approval, as a result..."
As a result, I didn't get the praise, and the thanks became jealousy...
Fool whom?
"I came today just to let the lady see, whether I work hard is useless, I want the lady to see if I have benefited." She said with a deep breath.
Cheng Jianniang sighed, picked up the word again and looked at it.
"I'm benefiting." She nodded and said with a slight smile.
Chen Bainiang smiled on her face.
"Really?" She asked again as she sat down on her knees.
"I'm not lying." Cheng Jianniang said, nodded, and looked at the words in her hand, "Jinyi." ”
Chen Shibanniang cried with joy, raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and saluted again.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." She said.
That's what it's all about. At first, just say no when you enter the door. Banqin shook her head.
"I'm bothering the lady. It's not too early, and I'm taking my leave. Chen Banniang said, "Does the lady want to live in Beijing?" ”
"It's not decided yet, so I won't leave for the time being." Cheng Jianniang said.
"Then can I come and ask the lady in the future?" Chen Banniang asked.
"Of course, as long as you want." Cheng Jianniang said.
Chen Banniang smiled and saluted again.
Cheng Jianniang also stood up to send it off.
The lanterns under the porch are hung brightly, swaying with the night wind, accompanied by the sound of jingling wind chimes, and the bamboo pipes rhythmically beat the stones. Everything is the same as it was two years ago.
Chen Banniang looked back at Cheng Jianniang standing under the corridor, and the figure of the woman under the lamp was outlined and could not be described.
Yes, as always.
Chen Bainiang bowed, turned around and walked, walked a few steps and stopped as if she wanted to turn around, but after hesitating for a moment, she still walked out quickly.
The carriage drove into Chen's mansion, and the people in the family were in a hurry.
"Eighteen Niang, what are you doing?" The sisters complained.
"I'm going to thank Mrs. Cheng." Chen Banniang said with a smile.
Thank?
Mrs. Chen was slightly stunned, and if she wanted to ask something, her relatives, friends and daughters poured out.
"Come and take your seat. Our royal lady. ”
"No matter anything else, you have to write me a word tonight."
Everyone was laughing and talking. Chen Banniang thanked them one by one with a smile and went in under the support of everyone.
The hall was brightly lit and laughter was noisy.
Mrs. Chen smiled, and looked at her daughter inside, who was bright and bright, and raised her feet to go in.
In the Yudai Bridge, Banqin turned off the lights one by one, and the room became dim.
Lying on the couch, Cheng Jianniang was untying her sideburns.
"Lady." Banqin hesitated, walked over and said, "You only answered one question from Mrs. Chen, right?" So which one? ”
Cheng Jianniang looked at her and smiled.
"Banqin has also benefited." "There are a few more questions that come to mind." ”
Banqin sneered.
"Lady, I'm stupid, not stupid." She said angrily, while sitting down, looking at Cheng Jianniang, "Lady, aren't you angry?" ”
Cheng Jianniang shook her head.
"I'm never angry." She said with a smile.
Banqin nodded with relief and stood up.
"Lady, rest quickly." She said, "I'm going to carve a monument tomorrow." ”
The door was closed, the night light dimmed, and the woman on the couch behind the curtain lay on her side.
Because you're so good, you're so good, so, you deserve to die.
I'm not angry, just a little sad occasionally.
In the middle of September, that is, ten days after the emperor's birthday, the cart loaded with 300 divine arm bows escorted by the forbidden army galloped westward, and the armory bow and crossbow courtyard, which was a heavily guarded place, was so tight that not even a fly could fly in, and only the sound of clanging and beating could be heard in the distance.
"It's just waiting for the battlefield to prove its effect." The emperor sitting on the dragon chair was in high spirits, and he couldn't hide his smile, "Let's see which western thief has the honor to come and sacrifice a bow and crossbow to me." ”
Outside the capital, a team of elite soldiers galloped to a stop in front of the forbidden army.
"Zhong Chengbu, the head of the Xizhou Terracotta Mansion, was transferred to the Northwest Economic Strategy Division by order."
Accompanied by the loud report of his own soldiers, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old tall young general stepped forward.
Although it was more than two years late, Zhong Chengbu, who had been recommended by Chen Shao, finally got his wish, but because he was too young, he did not immediately settle down in the position of the envoy.
However, Zhong Chengbu's face did not have the slightest annoyance, but a little arrogance.
What about being young? All he needed was a few feats.
Zhong Chengbu's eyes fell on the carriage, and he personally reached out to lift the oilcloth, revealing the neatly arranged bow and crossbow underneath.
"This is the magic weapon that claims to be more than 340 steps into the elm wood half-pipe, and piercing the iron armor seventy steps away?" He asked, with a little doubt in his eyes, and reached for a crossbow, Nu's burrs tingling his hand.
This rough workmanship ....
"It's not a claim."
A somewhat childish voice sounded beside him.
"And that is."
Zhong Chengbu turned his head and looked at a young general standing here.
"You are the Zhou servant who won the official position for His Majesty's test shooting of the Divine Arm Bow." He asked with a slight smile.
Saturday Lang Shili.
"I've seen the general." He said.
Zhong Chengbu laughed and put the Divine Arm Bow in his hand back on the car.
"Then let me see if it's in vain." He said.
I don't know if it's the God Arm Bow or the Saturday Lang.
Saturday Lang stood up without a wave.
"Let's go." With the orders of the heralds, the army galloped westward.
Pedestrians on the main road have long since avoided it. watched as the army went away before returning to the road.
"See? The cart was loaded with a Divine Arm Bow. Someone pointed and said.
Passers-by looked at each other. Among them, there are a few young people dressed as students, and they are obviously scholars who have entered Beijing in advance for next year's scientific examination.
The story of someone offering a divine arm bow on the emperor's birthday has already spread, and some poems have been circulated, of course, most of them are touting the emperor's pile-up works, but this does not prevent the spread of the divine arm bow.
These scholars heard about it on the way to Beijing, but they were a little skeptical about the authenticity of the matter.
"Every year there is an auspicious offering, but what is the result?" Someone shook his head and said.
"Whether it's a magic weapon or not, let's see the results." Someone else said.
"Don't listen to these touted auspicious rui, to talk about this capital. There are still really good things, such as the anonymous five characters that stop the temple. Someone else diverted the subject.
Readers love to talk about poetry and Taoism, and when it comes to this kind of thing, they are interested and faintly unconvinced.
"Yes, yes, I've heard it all the time."
"I've been waiting to see how good it is."
"The copybook always looks a little tasteless, but I can finally see it with my own eyes."
The scholar who had spoken earlier was robbed of the limelight and was a little sullen, and walked behind the people, and at this time they could see the city gate from a distance, and his eyes fell to the side and suddenly lit up.
"Oh, that's the Maoyuan Mountain Tomb over there." He shouted.
The scholars who were arguing about the words turned their heads back at his shout. Somewhat inexplicable.
"Which sage's tomb?" They asked.
Why is it not impressive at all?
"Brother Maoyuanshan, it's a long story. If you want to say that this god arm bow is also because of them? The scholar said proudly, "Then the five words of stopping the temple were three years ago, not new, this Maoyuan Mountain is really the latest big news, the current affairs are full of empty alleys...."
Accompanied by the narration of the scholar, everyone gathered together, and as they heard the narration, everyone was shocked and angry, and sometimes lamented.
“… Now this Lu Zheng has been released and promoted..."
"That's right, it's the counselor who should be maintained."
"Now that you've arrived, let's go to the tomb of that hero."
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that I didn't bring wine, otherwise I would have a bowl."
Everyone laughed and got off the horse and walked over, and when they heard the wine, the first to speak laughed again.
"The lady of the Cheng family smashed more than 20 jars of spirits in front of the tomb, it is said that the land here smells of wine, and how many people come here to find taste and satisfy their hunger." He laughed.
At this time, everyone stood in front of the tomb, and everyone laughed when they heard this, and one of them bowed his head in front of the tomb.
"Shall I smell it?" He said.
"It is said that this is the best liquor in the world, and countless people were drunk that day—" said the gentleman, and before he could finish speaking, he heard a pop, and everyone was startled and hurriedly looked over, and saw the gentleman who had bowed his head in front of the tomb kneeling.
Kneeling?
"Brother Tiansi, did you get drunk when you smell it?" Someone laughed.
The kneeling soldier stared blankly at the tombstone.
"Drunk...," he muttered, reaching out and stroking the tombstone tremblingly, "Xu Maoxiu..."
It didn't look like he was drunk, but it looked like he had fallen into an evil spirit, and everyone hurriedly gathered around to ask, but the scholar did not answer, but just stroked the tombstone and began to draw on it.
"Xu Maoxiu...", his mouth said over and over again.
Who is Xu Maoxiu?
Everyone looked at the tombstone and was stunned.
"This is a wordless tablet at the beginning, when did the inscription be engraved?" The previous scholar muttered, and the words stopped at this point, and his expression was as stunned as the kneeling scholar.
"Xu Maoxiu...," he muttered.
At the same time, more thoughts rang out.
"Fan Stone!"
"Wax Moon!"
"Xu Bang Mallet!"
"Fan Sanchou!"
A shout sounded in front of the tomb, and a group of scholars surged in a panic, unable to sit or stand, and behaved upside down, attracting everyone on the road to look over.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was stunned, and after seeing what kind of place it was, they were even more stunned, the previous section in front of the tomb was also so lively, it was a lot of drunkards who came here to look for wine, but first, the smell of wine had already dissipated, and secondly, after all, it was in front of someone else's tomb, and soon no one came again.
Why did these people suddenly come again, looking at the costumes, they were not drunkards, but scholars, why were they all crazy like drunkards?
"Isn't it... Haunted..."
