The dragon boat floats in a very low position, and a ladder is laid on the right side of the deck. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Luo Yi wanted to carry Cao Xiaoyan on his back, but unexpectedly she woke up.
"Are you awake? How's it going, do you feel sick? Luo Yi said with concern.
"Thank you, Lord Luo, for taking care of me. I feel better. Cao Xiaoyan's face regained some blood, but his lips were still faintly pale.
"Okay, then you go down carefully, and the rest of the things will be talked about when you get to the Shangxiu Bureau." Luo Yi put Cao Xiaoyan down, and then he was the first to walk down the ladder.
Cao Xiaoyan turned around and saw the corpses carried by the two inspectors, and his pupils shrank suddenly. She coughed lightly, quickly calmed down, lowered her head and walked towards the ladder.
The landing point of the ladder is not the main gate of the Shangxiu Bureau, but the "dragon head" position of the imperial city.
After everyone hit the ground, the ladder slowly disappeared. Luo Yi and the others waved slightly towards the sky, and saw that the dragon boat flew back into the clouds.
Luo Yi took out a silver five-pointed token from his bosom and explained, "This is the teleportation center of the Imperial City, have you seen this stone platform?" ”
Everyone's eyes shifted to the stone platform in front of them. If it weren't for Luo Yi's reminder, no one would have noticed that there was a stone platform at their feet. Because it was a mossy ground, but the moss grew very regularly, and it happened to be a circle around the city, and in the middle was a nameless tree with young buds.
"Stand up. I'll take you to the Sixiu Academy, Lord Hao, you can take them directly to the Criminal Courtyard for the record. ”
Hao Lianbai nodded helplessly, this teleportation array can only be activated by tokens with official rank above the squire, and the dead embroidered girl was recommended by him. The thought of the suffocating atmosphere in the torture hall made his mouth feel dry.
The embroidered girls quickly stood on the stone platform, Luo Yi glanced at it roughly, then picked up the token and wrote the word "embroidery" on the card with his finger.
"Boom" a beam of strong light, everyone on the stone platform instantly disappeared in place, and saw that on the branch of the nameless small tree in the center, there was a young shoot that quickly bloomed, bloomed, and withered.
Everyone felt that the bright light flashed, and subconsciously closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, the scene in front of them was completely different.
Under the eaves of the blue bricks, there is a sandalwood plaque with the words "Shang Embroidery Bureau" written on it; The red gate is completely open, and the front hall is some distance from the main entrance, and it takes half a pillar of incense to walk on sight.
At this time, there was a woman standing in front of the door, dressed in white and plain, with a good heart. "Pretty like a peach in three springs, pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns" is about to describe such a woman.
Luo Yi took a step forward and said politely: "Please let the embroidery lady report, Luo Yi, the household waiter, with the newly selected embroidery girl, came to report." ”
The woman in white bowed slightly, then floated up lightly, and flew towards the hall like a fairy.
"It's beautiful." Seeing this scene, some people couldn't help but sigh softly.
Luo Yi smiled slightly and said, "The first time I came here, I also felt that the embroidery girl was as beautiful as a fairy. It's not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to tell you. The woman just now was not human, but an embroidery. ”
"Embroidery? Lord Luo, you're kidding. Yan Qinghuan blinked his big watery eyes and said with a face full of disbelief.
"Hmph, it's rare and weird, that's a pair of embroidery!" Xia Rui pursed her lips, her face full of disdain.
"Oh? Xia Rui, do you know the origin of this embroidery? Luo Yi asked curiously.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Rui, making her even more arrogant.
As long as Xia Rui is proud, she can't help but smile flatteringly. She touched the tips of her sideburns and said with a smile: "I once heard my mother say that the first generation of Shang Xiu of the Shang Embroidery Bureau has become a 'seamless' embroidery realm in her later years, and her breakthrough work is 'Embroidery Niang', it is rumored that Embroidery Niang is no different from ordinary people in addition to being unable to speak, and what is even more amazing is that she has no annual rings in her body, and she lives with the sky." ”
Luo Yi nodded and added: "Embroidery Niang is indeed a masterpiece of the first generation of Shang embroidery, but the embroidery at that time was restricted by acupuncture and magic techniques, and there were many flaws. Not only can the embroidered girl not speak, but also unable to practice, and the statement of 'living with the sky' has been denied by the Dragon Emperor of the current dynasty. The Dragon Emperor once personally probed and proved that the embroidered girl only lived longer than ordinary creatures. ”
"Could it be that today's embroidery road can already allow embroidery to speak?" Yan Qinghuan's eyes are blazing and his desire for knowledge is extremely strong.
"Actually, I shouldn't teach you this, but I'm idle now, so it's okay to talk about it." Luo Yi sorted it out in his mind and said: "As long as the embroidery road reaches the realm of 'plastering and embroidery', the embroidery can survive in the present world without the constraints of needle and thread." However, these embroideries have a very short lifespan and very low intelligence, and can only obey their owners to complete some simple tasks. ”
"So far, there are only three embroidered girls who have reached 'seamless', the first generation of Shang Xiu, the third generation of Shang Xiu, and the power of a demon clan."
"The demon clan can also learn embroidery?"
"I don't know about this, some things involve the cultivation secrets of the Shang Embroidery Bureau, although the Ministry of Rites has jurisdiction over the Shang Embroidery Bureau, but it is only the management of the decree, and in terms of cultivation, our authority may not be as good as that of the temple."
At this moment, three female officials were walking towards the temple gate. They seemed to walk very slowly, but with each step, their figures moved several feet forward, and a long phantom trailed behind them, and in the blink of an eye they reached the door.
At the foreground was a middle-aged woman, dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, with long half-black and half-white hair tied up in a silver pin-like hairpin; The two women behind her were a little younger, dressed in pale green brocade robes, and their hair was also in the same style of silver needle hairpins.
The middle-aged woman bowed first, and the two behind her bent down.
"Shangxiu Li Hongjuan, I've seen Lord Luo." The voice was a little hoarse, but very serious.
"I've seen Lord Luo." The voices of the two were crisp and serious.
The officials under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Etiquette pay great attention to etiquette. It is not divided into high and low cultivation, but only according to the size of the official position.
"Li Shangxiu, the newly selected embroidery girl has been brought." Luo Yi nodded in return, he saw that Li Hongjuan seemed to have doubts on his face, so he explained directly: "On the way back to the imperial city, we encountered the attack of the demon bat tide, and an embroidered girl was unfortunately killed, and another embroidered girl named Nangong Sixteen was seriously injured and was brought back to the inner palace by the four highnesses who came to rescue. ”
Li Hongjuan listened to the explanation with a calm face, but when the two people behind her heard "Nangong Sixteen was taken away by His Royal Highness the Fourth", they glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths rose slightly, and they couldn't help but laugh.
"Also, this Cao Xiaoyan is an embroidery girl recommended by the temple, and she will practice in the Shang Embroidery Bureau for two years, this is a recommendation."
Li Hongjuan respectfully accepted the letter of recommendation, immediately opened it for inspection, and looked at Cao Xiaoyan, who had been bowing her head and being silent.
"Li Shangxiu, the internal affairs officer of the Shangxiu Bureau should not have been asked. However, among the new embroidery girls this time, there are several embroidery talents who are excellent, and there are even people who make the embroidery heart manifest. You can collect this summary of results, which can be referred to one or two. ”
"No matter how good the embroidery talent is, it also needs to be practiced thousands of times. However, it is rare to make the embroidery heart manifest. Thank you, Lord Luo, for the reminder. Li Hongjuan put away a thin letter handed over by Luo Yi.
"Now that the person has been delivered, the official will not stay any longer. A month later, Li Shangxiu was asked to report the distribution list of the new embroidered women, and the Ministry of Rites needed to keep it on file for future reference. Luo Yi took out the silver pentagonal token and said.
"Please rest assured, Lord Luo, the lower official will definitely deliver it on time. Let's go. Li Hongjuan took a step back, then leaned forward slightly, bowed her head and saluted goodbye; The two people behind him immediately followed suit.
This time, all the new embroidery girls also learned to look like and saluted Luo Yi.
Luo Yi nodded in satisfaction, a white light flashed, and he disappeared in place out of thin air.
"Don't think that if you are selected as an embroiderer, you can sit back and relax. Upon entering this door, the last person to reach the front hall is not allowed to eat dinner. Li Hongjuan's tone instantly became very stern after Luo Yi disappeared.
The embroidery girls were stunned in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look at Li Hongjuan's expression, so they immediately spread their legs and rushed to the gate. (To be continued.) )
