Yao Er waved his hand, frowned at the garden and shouted to the little maid beside him: "All retreat, all go out, this garden will be burned, Archie, what about the torches, give me torches." ”

Yao Dalian even made a look.

Yao Er's personal servant responded in fear, walked over, and hugged him the moment the master reached out for a torch.

"I caught it, hurry up, show the second master, this is something dirty!"

Yao Er: "......"

Yao Da also slapped the little guy away, "What's the noise, I don't think the house is messy enough!" He leaned over and looked into his brother's eyes, and said softly, "Second fat, who made you unhappy?" If we want to burn it, we can't burn our own garden, or I'll find a barren mountain for you to burn, and you can burn it as much as you want, how about it? ”

Yao Er: "...... Where is it! ”

He gritted his teeth and hurriedly explained the cause and effect of the matter to his eldest brother, and Yao Da was immediately vigilant.

Now the county lord of Rong'an has a high status in the hearts of their Yao family.

"Since it's the county lord who said it......"

Yao Da hesitated slightly, closed his eyes and pondered.

Just as he was hesitating, there was a snap not far away, gurgling, just next to the rockery in front, a maid hit her head on the mountain, and her head was bleeding.

The surrounding maids sighed, and neatly stepped forward to clean up, carrying people, calling doctors doctors, and some people carrying wound medicine.

Yao Er: "...... I'm used to it. ”

Yao Da exhaled: "Burn!" ”

A fire, blazing.

The brother told the elders who had come to him about the matter. The elder smiled bitterly: "What nonsense!" ”

If there is something wrong, how can you burn the garden?

"There's no way to light the fire, be careful and don't hurt anyone."

As he was talking, at the gate of the garden in front of him, a young man in green clothes strode over, his face flushed and ecstatic.

"Uncle, second master, the old lady is out of the customs! He was very happy. Said that he had entered the country. Half-step Grand Master, there is still hope in this life! ”

This man's mouth is clear, word by word.

Yao Da and Yao Er were stunned at first. Then suddenly burst into tears.

They are not happy that their grandfather will become a great grandmaster. I am only glad that my grandfather is in good health. The life is still long!

If you don't have good health, where will you come from!

Looking at the raging fire, Yao Dachang smiled: "Burn." Burn it for me, is this only one garden? You don't need to burn other gardens! Since the county lord has said to burn it, it doesn't hurt if the whole family burns it! ”

The feeling of worship is overflowing.

The girl they blindly worshipped was not so good now.

The queen mother is sick, and she is not lightly ill.

Hongchen was by her side.

It's not some serious illness that can be spoken, it's just ...... I'm older.

It's easy to talk about other diseases, but when you are older, when Hongchen hears these four words, she can't help but feel sad in her heart.

Even if she has countless tonic herbs in her hands, even if all the imperial doctors in the palace are skilled, how can she cure old diseases!

The queen is free and easy, and she doesn't see decadence with a white face: "What does it look like, which person is not old?" ”

She blinked, "Well, by the way, I wanted to give it to you before, but I always forgot it, and I didn't want to urge you...... It's just that it's an excellent thing, and it's a waste not to keep it for you, Su Niang, Su Niang, bring that thing to Ah Chen. ”

Su Niang responded, greeted the little eunuch unhurriedly, and after a short time, she brought a box.

As soon as I looked at this box, Hongchen knew that it must be my mother's beloved thing.

The material is fine camphor wood, the four corners are wrapped with gold leaf, the carvings on it are even more delicate and beautiful, and there are some happy words hidden in the pattern.

The lock at the bottom is a large copper lock that can only be opened with three keys, and the weight of the entire lock is estimated to be impossible for an ordinary girl to hold.

The box is obviously old, but it is very well preserved, and it is still shiny.

Don't say any of this, just look at the queen's appearance and know that the things inside must be particularly precious.

At least in the heart of the queen mother, it is very precious.

She took out the key herself, slowly pointed it to the ground, and opened it.

As soon as the box opened, Hongchen was stunned.

"Phoenix Crown?"

"It's the phoenix crown, my favorite."

The queen didn't feel embarrassed, "But I didn't wear it back then, I married the person who was still the prince at that time, and I wore the phoenix crown made by the inner house, the material is good, the craftsmanship is good, that is, all the princesses are the same, and later canonized the queen, I can't wear it, I wear the nine dragons and four phoenix crowns, and the head is full of flowers. ”

She said as she reached out and touched the phoenix crown inside.

"The rainbow dress is shaking the crown, and the sky is full of Pei Shanshan...... Even if the queen of my book wears a real phoenix crown, I still like my set. ”

Hongchen sighed.

The phoenix crown in the box is really good-looking, the material is as light as a cloud, the pearls on the phoenix crown are not big, and the peony flowers are not so gorgeous, but the workmanship is particularly attentive.

In Hongchen's view, things have their own breath.

Some things have a cold and sharp aura, and no matter how good it looks, it doesn't feel good.

And some things, just ordinary, are warm and charming.

In the box in front of me, there is a beautiful feeling that is mixed with the girl's longing and the parents' desire.

"Well, don't think I longed to get married."

The queen blinked, and suddenly seemed to be a little disgusted, her expression was very complicated, she closed her hand casually, and greeted Su Niang, "Go back and help Achen send her home, this thing can't stay in the palace, and it can't fall into the hands of others." ”

Turning his head and saying to Hongchen, "But it's not for you, you use this cold, for so many years, the material looks old no matter how much it is maintained, you will get married in the future, as long as I can still see it, I will prepare the best for you." ”

Hongchen smiled, so much that he didn't persuade anything, and he didn't blush. She seems to be in front of the queen, and she can't hold back her blushing.

But in my heart, I wanted to cry a little.

In the previous life, the queen died early, silently gone, the emperor was greatly grieved, the whole country mourned silently, and the dynasty was boycotted for three consecutive months.

He meticulously made the queen's coffin. It's a lot wider. said that in the next hundred years, he would sleep with the queen and live in a coffin, just for the queen's funeral goods. It consumes half of the inner library.

Because there was no sadness on the face of Zhao Rui, the king of Qi. He scolded Zhao Rui. After three years, Zhao Rui was not allowed to enter the palace, and he was asked to wear linen and filial piety to go to the imperial tomb to guard the queen's filial piety. That was the King of Qi, one of his favorite sons back then, and he was once about to be canonized as the crown prince.

This kind of behavior is like deep love!

But so what, then don't you choose a show girl, don't you still pamper other beauties, at most, every time the queen dies, he wants to be a vegetarian, and let the palace concubines of all sizes, let his son, grandson, and everyone in the royal family eat fast, so as to pray for the queen, but he didn't see him have a few fewer women, a little less flowery intestines.

Besides, when the queen was alive, the emperor and queen were like two kings, and they couldn't even see each other, and the emperor was notoriously dislike the queen.

There are no such private things in this, let alone Hongchen, no one who knows the inside story will believe it.

It is said that even when it was canonized, it was the queen mother who was in charge, and according to his intentions, he must want to set up Concubine Mi as the queen.

Things have been done so decisively for many years, and now it's hypocritical.

Hey, when the queen was alive, she didn't even want to see him, and after she died, she was forced to live with him, and I don't know if she would be angry and come back to life!

Maybe the emperor was deliberately angry with his wife.

I only remember that the queen went early, she was very sad back then, and she couldn't even figure out her own life, and because the queen went, she was also in pain, and she vaguely wanted to forget about that, not to mention to spy on the palace and see how the mother went.

Now, she only remembers that before her mother went, she lingered on the sickbed for three years, and the winter of that year was particularly cold, and the wind and snow were also heavy...... Wang Yue also painted a picture of a snow scene.

Now, there are still five years to go.

Hongchen sat silently in a daze, but the queen sat up from the soft couch with half propped up, and said quietly: "Ah Chen has grown up, and after that, I don't know what kind of path I will choose." ”

Su Niang smiled: "Niangniang don't worry about it, our county lord is more comfortable and bright than Niangniang back then." ”

"That's true!"

The queen laughed, "Our Ah Chen is different from me, I am at her age, every day I think about what to eat today, whether I want to go to Ah Wu tomorrow to play, whether I can go hunting with my brother the day after tomorrow, the master of the day after tomorrow is going to test us, who can give divination in advance, see what exam questions there are, and prepare well." ”

The more she spoke, the worse her face became, and she reached out and patted Hongchen's head vigorously, banging, not as lazy and steady as before, and a little more childish.

"It's not good, at your age, if you don't run, don't play, and look like you rely on everything all day long! Such a beautiful day of youth is only a few years. ”

Hongchen smiled bitterly when he came back to his senses.

Niangniang really thinks of coming out now, obviously the last time I saw her, she also said that youth is short, you must work hard, you can't waste your life, if you let time pass, you will regret it in the future, and she used herself as a negative example, taught Hongchen more than half an hour, and today it is a different statement.

After a while, the queen's face showed a little tiredness, and she pulled Hongchen's hand and smiled: "The list was announced later this year, but it's okay, when you take the test, the weather will become warmer and more comfortable." ”

The queen didn't say it explicitly, but just stuffed her with a bunch of books and magic utensils, all of which were good things in the palace treasury, and she seemed extremely happy.

Hongchen came out of the palace, and as soon as he returned to the princess's mansion, a man in green clothes politely sent an invitation letter embroidered with gold edges, made of silk and silver foil, to the county lord's mansion respectfully.

Quietly, no one was alarmed.

The candidates for the big list were not announced openly, only posts were sent to the selected people, but there were countless families staring at the assessment of spiritual masters, and as soon as the list came out, someone immediately found all the people on the list.

Until the final assessment passes, the one, two, and three places will not be discharged.

It's the final assessment. It's just a very low-key notice whether it's gone or not, and those who have passed get the qualifications can be called a spirit master in a solemn place such as the palace in the palace, and from now on, not only will they not kneel down, but they will also be polite.

It's just that it's not over, and it will be worth a lot!

The common people don't understand anything else, they just know. The imperial court believed that these spiritual masters were of a high level. Then they're good.

The official does not give rankings, which does not mean that everyone does not care in private.

Before the list came out, many people secretly muttered that this might be selected. Another one. Just to join in the fun. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the list.

Now that the list is out, which one can pass the assessment and which one is the escort. Whoever is capable of it, and who is all under the shadow of his ancestors.

Hongchen is recognized in the circle as one of the spirit masters who will definitely pass the assessment.

There are only a few people who are considered to be similar to her, and the most famous of them is Qu Wu, the descendant of the Qu family in Beijing.

There is another one, in the Dayun Temple, he practiced with the abbot since he was three years old, traveled abroad at the age of twelve, and became a famous monk in the south of the Yangtze River at the age of sixteen - no complaints.

It is rumored that he is proficient in Buddhism, with a great compassion mantra tattooed on his body, and all evils do not invade, when he was fourteen years old, he once fought with more than 20 spiritual masters in Jiangnan, and won without a fight, but he was low-key and had no reputation, until he was sixteen years old, he predicted the floods in Jiangnan in advance, and there were countless living people, which was the reputation of Jiangnan.

The statement reached the capital, and the monks of Dayun Temple did not say anything, but the abbot master said that he was born with the favor of the Buddha and was a person in Buddhism.

In addition, there is also an Olang who doesn't know the details, because no one else guessed it when he entered the list, and now he is famous.

Ou Lang has foreign blood, his life experience seems to be quite bumpy, and now he is the master of the Xuan Miao Temple, as for how he did half of the foreigners to see the master, there is naturally a story in it, outsiders do not know, and he has not shown anything extraordinary, but several spirit masters who can speak on this matter have all recommended him.

Being able to win the favor of those people shows that this person is not a mediocre person.

It's noisy and noisy, and the people in the capital may not feel much about it, but the circle of spiritual masters is completely lively.

Most of the spiritual masters who can be included in the list are men.

But among the few women, there were two, Hongchen and Qu Wu, standing above everyone, almost standing at the top, which inevitably made those group of spirit masters sigh a few words.

In this spiritual master assessment, Hongchen didn't know anything about what to test, how to test, and what the standard was, and she was a little concerned about it.

Although Hongchen is touted, the whole family also has great confidence in her, but the world is so big, there are many capable people, and all the spiritual masters who can be selected are masters, who dares to guarantee that Hongchen will be a head ahead!

She couldn't help but sit in the study at home, flip through a few more books, calm down, and prepare a few more spirit runes, which is to sharpen the spear in battle, which is better than living in waste.

I haven't been out for several days, but on this day, the sun is shining and the spring breeze is blowing, and it is a bright scene.

Luo Niang hugged a bunch of posts and entered the door with a confused face.

"What's wrong?"

Hongchen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Right now, in the county lord's mansion, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan are her female officials, according to the words of someone in the Yujue space, that is the secretary, the responsibility, to deal with all the affairs around Hongchen, and to ensure that she is comfortable.

Luo Niang is delicate, Xiao Yan is brave and decisive, and the two of them are partners, and they really handle the big and small things around her very well.

The two of them also have a booklet for each person, according to the priority, write the daily to-do list clearly, and the posts handed over from the outside have always been the two of them first, those who don't need to care too much, such as which family has a happy event, it should be a gift, and the two of them will do it easily, and mention it to Hongchen afterwards.

Sometimes Hongchen thinks, it's good to have a caring and heart-to-heart secretary, these two will really go out in the future, she is spoiled, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt for a long time, and I don't know if I can find a few who are as intimate.

Luo Niang hugged the post, scattered the table, and said in surprise: "These families don't seem to have anything to do with our family, but they have sent posts one after another recently." ”

Hongchen glanced at it, also a little surprised.

It's really not a side, just like this Zhou family, it is a family of military generals, and the head of the family is now the left squire of the military department.

There is also this family, the Qiu family of Zhenguo Gong, which is considered a nobleman, and the family was originally down, that is, there was a martial arts genius ten years ago. Now he is the commander of the forbidden army, and he is a close guard of His Majesty the Emperor.

There are several others, all of which are relatively unfamiliar, not to mention in this life, and there is no intersection in the previous life.

The Xia family has a little connection with several families, but it has nothing to do with her, a girl who has never entered the core of the Xia family.

Hongchen flipped through the posts, all of them were some kind words, and they were not much different from other posts, most of them expressed the intention of visiting and walking around.

"What's going on in the capital lately?"

Her status as the lord of the county is high. But it's not so important. As a spirit master, she has a good reputation.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan analyzed together, but they didn't analyze anything, and they wanted to talk about big things. My own lady should be counted as one to participate in the assessment. But it doesn't seem to have much to do with these companies.

If you can't think of it, just do it.

But two days. There is the duchess of the Qiu family of the town and the country, who came to visit.

The Duchess is an elder, and Hongchen is a little blind. Fortunately, this person is a cheerful person, Xu is interested in making friends with Hongchen, and he speaks very likable.

After just sitting for a cup of tea, Hongchen felt that he was familiar with the duchess who was over forty years old, and he was a familiar friend.

Hey, these ladies and wives who have really been seriously cultivated, they are all human spirits, and they want her to run the Wang family back then, and she didn't look bad, but in fact, she is far from being compared with the serious nobles of others.

At least like this, Hongchen doesn't have the ability to make friends with people in three sentences, people who follow her eyes can become friends in a moment, if it is not pleasing to the eye, and then it is a high authority, she can't bear to tie it up.

That is, in this life, she does not take the usual path, not like a serious noble daughter, wandering in the backyard of the boudoir, which makes her stand out, if she is unfortunate enough to be planted in the backyard, I am afraid that she will not be able to set off much wind and waves, and the possibility of repeating the mistakes of the past is greater.

After chatting for a while, the Duchess Xu said mysteriously: "Great joy, our Grandmaster Yao has taken another half step, and the great grandmaster in this life is hopeful!" If we become a great grandmaster, we will live longer, and we may be able to live for a few more decades, and our Great Zhou will be more stable, which is also our blessing. ”

Hongchen was stunned.

Xu sighed again: "This is the merit of the county lord!" ”

Hongchen was even more stunned, and was surprised for a while: "Of course, it's a good thing that Grandmaster Yao can go further, but what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Why should the county lord hide it, the grandmaster said it personally after the old man came out of the customs, he has entered the country this time, thanks to a painting by the county lord, and said that he is old and has dull qualifications, and he can't do all the work if he gets this point, if there are more outstanding martial arts masters, maybe he understands more."

Hongchen: "......"

No wonder the Yao family sent another generous gift a few days ago, the thick one was a bit outrageous, and she muttered in her heart - could it be the oil sent by Xie Luoniang?

But Luo Niang is not well-intentioned, in fact, as long as she breaks the formation she arranged casually, move two stones, you can be safe, Luo Niang has to choose a troublesome method, so there is this one to send oil.

She accepted the gift at the time, and she was still a little guilty, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with oil, but she has inadvertently inserted willows and willows, and Grandmaster Yao has a good thing!

It's just that it's bizarre, just a painting, how can it have such an effect!

She was also stunned for a long time before she suddenly cried and laughed.

Grandmaster Yao has never slackened for so many years, even if there is an entry, it is also logical, the so-called painting, maybe it can't be said that there is no effect at all, but that little bit of mystical effect, at most, it is only stimulated, mainly because of his old man himself!

But it's useless to explain this.

Not only Xu's, but several guests came to the door later, talking about the matter, and the implication was that they hoped to ask for a painting to go back.

The more the news spreads, the more outrageous it becomes!

Maybe Grandmaster Yao just said that he had an understanding after seeing Hongchen's paintings, and only then did he break through, and later, Hongchen's paintings contained supreme martial arts secrets, and people who didn't learn and didn't know how to become masters in one fell swoop could see it.

For a while, today, the most famous painter is not a big or small double Li, nor is it a few other famous artists, but he has become a young yellow-haired girl, but she is bidding for thousands of gold, and there is no market.

There were even thieves in the house.

Naturally, the thieves couldn't get in, and they were all taken to prison, but Hongchen couldn't let such news spread wildly.

It just so happened that she had recently practiced painting and read a lot of novels in the Yujue space, so she simply collected her own paintings and made a hardcover version of the album, which was printed on the best paper.

There are only 100 copies in total, and the asking price is not low, 30 taels of silver a piece, after all, the engraving costs money, and the paper also costs money.

As soon as it was released, there was no publicity, and it was snatched up in the morning, and the people of the Yao family originally wanted to wrap up the circle, but then there were too many people, and his family couldn't stand it, so they only snatched one copy, and the others were divided up by those nobles in the capital, especially those who practiced martial arts. (To be continued.) )
