Two years later

The red plum is splendid, the green willow is sprouting, and it has returned in spring. The flowers in the imperial garden, taking advantage of the early spring, the morning light has just hit the slightly blue flower bones, at noon, the flower bones will turn white, into the night, there are a few.

The faint fragrance of flowers, along with the night breeze, drifted in faintly from the wooden window.

A yellowed scroll, under the light, slowly floats with the slender fingers, stretching out.

I saw a beautiful woman, wearing a plain robe, with three thousand green silks, and a turnip tree, sitting sideways. There are more than a dozen small characters in the vertical row at the lower right of the picture scroll, and the words are powerful through the picture scroll, round and powerful.

Ten thousand golden lamps illuminate the deep palace hall, and under the heavy veil shadow, the fragrance of flowers is slightly smoky. The three men in the hall are reading pictures to the lamp.

Mo Qing looked at it for a while, and said with a smile, "These sixteen words are inevitably written in reverie!" Born and entered the customs, hidden in the valley, left a beautiful woman, and ascended to the immortal. ”

Jin Nuo had already seen the scroll, but he paid more attention to the beauty on the scroll, and at the moment he was obsessed with the end of the painting, and when he heard the emperor say that there were small characters on the lower right, he couldn't help but stretch his neck, and looked at it again, and said, "Is this really a word?" That beautiful lady secretly gave you this painting again, it seems that she is really infatuated with you! Third, why didn't you agree at that time? Anyway, if you bring it back, there is not much more woman in the palace, and there is no less woman. ”

Mo Qing glanced at him, Jin Nuo realized that he was off topic, and immediately straightened out, coughing and coughing, "This literati and elegant man loves to be elegant, what kind of poetry do you do?" What does these sixteen characters mean? ”

Jiang Zigu pondered silently, raised his head for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, according to the slave thinking, if these sixteen characters imply the whereabouts of this beauty, look at the later payment is the seventh year of Yanxi." From this point of view, this beauty was just a girl at that time, and now it should be the year of the sixtieth birthday. This man's appearance must have changed over the years, and it is difficult to find any trace of it with this painting alone. “

Mo Qing's eyes flashed with a smile, and the shadow of the lamp floated by, "Yan Xi is seven years old, and the emperor's grandfather is just sixteen years old. If it is like what is written in the book of the boy without overflow, this woman is the person admired by the emperor's grandfather. It's just that this word is by no means the emperor's grandfather's handwriting. ”

Jiang Zi said, "Wuyi was extremely serious when he wrote books, and at that time, he checked many books and asked many people who had experienced them before he dared to write." Therefore, what he says in the book is still somewhat credible. ”

Mo Qing smiled again and said casually, "I, let him repair the book, in the past few years, is he still happy to cultivate?" ”

Jiang Zi smiled and said, "People, it's relatively quiet. It's just that Mrs. Shui is very anxious, he has reached the marriageable age, but he refuses to get married. Among the ladies in the capital, he didn't fancy any of them. The old lady was in a hurry, so she painted portraits of all the girls in the capital and asked him to pick them out. Now, it seems, there is still no movement. ”

Mo Qing smiled faintly and said, "I know, he is waiting, let him go." It should have frustrated his spirit a long time ago, and this time he won't let him accompany him. Let him take my place, work hard, and go see the lights. ”

Jiang Zi nodded and said softly, "Got it, it's just"

Mo Qing raised her eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Zi pretended to be embarrassed, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, they're going to fight again." ”

Mo Qing shook his head and smiled, "No." This light of mine has grown up. ”

While speaking, Jin Nuo stepped forward and looked at the beauty in the picture scroll, his posture seemed to be a little familiar, and he couldn't think of it, and sighed, "It's really unforgettable," and suddenly he realized, "It turns out that the woman in the painting is cultivated into an immortal, it seems that there are indeed immortals in this world, but I don't know which fairy she is?" ”

Jiang Zi lowered his eyebrows and held back a smile, but he also couldn't bear the discomfort.

When Jin Nuo was talking to himself again, Mo Qing slowly leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes slightly, knocked lightly on the table, and said slightly, "The world is independent, floating like a fairy", as if he had an endless aftertaste, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Jin Nuo's heart also gave birth to the scene of floating immortals when he heard him read, and the more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, and said with a smile, "Of course there are immortals!" When Xiao Wang traveled in the rivers and lakes, he once saw a man bitten by a scorpion and was in pain. The villagers helped him carry him to the Lang Zhong, who just scooped a bowl of water and drew a few strokes on the palm of the person who was bitten. If there are words in the mouth, the words stop, the person will be fine, or walk back by himself, isn't this magical! ”

Jiang Zi was amazed and sighed, "It's really amazing!" Why didn't the prince tell him his name and recommend it to the imperial court! ”

Jin Nuo thought to himself, I am willing, where do people care, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard Mo Qing say, "All things are born with aura." Between heaven and earth, all things are subject to the sun and the moon, and it is normal for some capable people to be different, but I am afraid that their temperament is also very high, and they can't stand the constraints of the rules and regulations of the court. ”

Jiang Zi took the scroll with his hand, and nodded again and again, "The emperor is sage!" ”

Jin Nuo suddenly remembered something, and said, "Third brother, a few days ago, I asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and the old man of the queen mother explained that the auspicious immortal scriptures were related to the unification of the rivers and mountains of my Moqing Dynasty, and that day, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, turned it into ashes, and the queen mother wanted to ask."

Mo Qing shook his chair leisurely, his eyes turned lightly, how could he not know what the queen mother was thinking about, and then smiled slightly, "The queen mother wants you to ask me, do I have a copy left?" “

Jin Nuo nodded and said with a smile, "Emperor Shengming!" ”

Mo Qing got up and said with a smile, "There is only the one in the palace, that book, I have read it carefully, it is just a book of cultivating the mind, and there are countless such books in the imperial study." It's just that the people of the world listened to the rumors and spread this scripture to the gods, and how many people died because of it. I don't believe it, do I want to grab a scripture book to become an immortal and live a long life?! Stupid! ”

Jiang Zigu said, "The emperor is sage! It's just that the so-called groundlessness is unexpected, and Qinghuang, Xuanbei, and the rivers and lakes are all competing for this scripture, and the slave thinks that its weight should not be underestimated. ”

Mo Qing got up and smiled, "So, I just burned that book and made them stop thinking!" I don't want to have thousands of identical books on the rivers and lakes overnight, and even the picture scrolls are the same. I heard that the price of a book ranged from 20 taels to 100 taels the year before last, but later it was 10 taels a book, and now it has fallen to a few cents, could it be that someone from Xianshu God Island took it out and printed it? ”

Jiang Zi synthesized the information he had obtained, and said, "Master, the slave heard that there is a company called Lingxi Pavilion on the market, and one of the businesses is to imitate all kinds of objects, from the jewelry of the daughter's family to the national warship, within twelve hours of the finished product, it was immediately imitated, and it has never been surpassed in the past five or six years. ”
