Chapter 67: Dismounting
After the problem of the academy was solved, everyone was about to leave, and Mr. Wei from the academy came to him again, hoping that Nanli could set up a talisman array in the academy, so that the academy would no longer be disturbed by demons.
Dealing with this kind of talisman array is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Nanli's fees are generally not low, but the dean is a friend of Master Yuanfan, and the third brother is studying in the academy, so Nanli calculated it, and finally only charged three hundred taels.
It took another morning to set up the talisman array, and then they left the Egret Academy.
On the way back to Beijing, Ye Siheng said: "I didn't expect you to set up this kind of rune array enchantment, so that you can also repair the palace rune array enchantment?" ”
"It should be possible, but the palace is not small in the rune array." Nanli said.
This is a huge amount of work, without ten thousand thousands of taels, she must not be able to continue this errand.
Ye Siheng only asked her to go back and see, if it can be repaired well, money is a trivial matter.
——
Jingzhou, inn.
Prince Qi only had two retinues left, and this time it could be said that he suffered heavy losses.
Soon after he fell asleep, he woke up sweating profusely, still shouting no.
The attendant hurriedly came in and asked, "Master, are you having a nightmare again?" ”
On Prince Qi's handsome face, beads of sweat slowly flowed down, he nodded, and then took out the copper coin and sprinkled it on the bed.
Looking at the hexagram of the copper coin, he breathed a sigh of relief: "A-Yuan is fine." ”
The entourage knew that Prince Qi was always having a nightmare, in which his younger brother was either beaten to death or starved to death.
Every time he woke up, Prince Qi would take a hexagram to make sure that something had happened to his younger brother.
"Master." The attendant said, "The Taoist chief said that if we go to Kyoto, we will naturally find the person we are looking for, but we have been in Kyoto for a long time, and we haven't found the fifth son, so let's go back." ”
"You can't go wrong with the divination of the Taoist." Prince Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
"But now Childe's plans have been ruined one after another, and it will be dangerous to continue to stay." The attendant continued to persuade.
Prince Qi gritted his teeth, thinking of Ye Siheng and Nanli, and wanted to cut them with a thousand knives.
He took a deep breath and said, "I told you before, let the secret guard sneak into the Anyang Hou Mansion, can it be done?" ”
The attendant nodded: "It's done, but the secret guard is working in the outer courtyard." ”
"That's enough, too." Prince Qi snorted coldly, "She Nanli has done good things to me a few times, so I'll let her taste the taste of losing her relatives." ”
Revenge is his consistent purpose.
——
Ye Siheng and his entourage first sent Master Yuanfan back to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and then took a detour back to Kyoto.
By the time they returned, news had already come from the palace that the circle had been repaired.
Back then, when the national teacher set up the rune array enchantment, it was the Ming Xu Dao Leader of Yuqingguan who helped, so Emperor Mu Wu also invited Ming Xu Dao Chang to come this time, and it didn't take three days to repair the Fu Array Enchantment, which was much more useful than Si Tiantai's waste.
Nanli only felt sorry for it, went to the academy, and missed the opportunity to make money.
But it's not without gain, the dean doesn't have much silver, and in the end he used books to pay off his debts, and all he gave was books on Taoism, which was enough for Nanli to look at for a while, so she could take a look at it and see if there was a way to deal with the black tide.
The daughter is studious, and the Shen family should be happy.
But in a few days, it will be the day of Nanli and Lu, and according to the custom, the ceremony of the official lady of Kyoto will be carried out in a big way.
Not only the Shen family, but even Xiao Wanyi and Aunt Qian also wanted to hold a banquet so that other people's families would know that the sixth young lady of their Anyang Hou Mansion was outstanding.
When Nanli heard this, she immediately refused: "No need, I hate this kind of banquet the most, I want to laugh at people." ”
Shen frowned slightly: "How can this work?" If you don't do this and the ceremony, people outside will only say that you can't be on the stage, so they don't dare to let you come out to meet people. ”
Aunt Qian cuttered beside her: "Yes, it will also say that our Hou Mansion has no money to set up a banquet." ”
Aunt Liang also advised: "The sixth lady should get to know the nobles and sons in Beijing, if there is a good eye, it will be better." ”
Nanli understands whether to talk about family affairs or not, but people must look at each other, this is the rule.
No matter how much Chu Hanlin and the Shen family love her, they can't tie her up for the rest of their lives.
Nanli spread her hands helplessly and said, "But I practice Taoism, and I already put my own affairs behind. I was born with an iron tree that is not easy to bloom, and even if I look at each other again, it is difficult to meet someone who is destined. ”
Shen Shi's heart was pinched when he heard this, so he had to say, "You are only fifteen, so you don't have to be in a hurry." I mainly want to make a big ceremony for you, so that others will know that you are the pearl of my Hou Mansion. ”
Although I have brought my daughter into the palace before, I have seen my daughter, after all, it is a minority.
This time, she must do most of the special things, so as not to make people look down on her daughter in the future.
Aunt Qian and Aunt Liang nodded one after another, and the two had already talked about what to dress up Nanli.
Even Xiao Wanyi talked on the side, and the three of them were so unhappy.
Nanli had no choice, so she had to follow their preferences.
It has not been a few days since the banquet, but fortunately, the Shen family has already prepared, and everything in the house is in order.
Nanli had already learned the rules, but Aunt Qian and Chu Shuo had to say that the clothes they had made before were old, and they had to make a new one.
And that's not all, if you have new clothes, you have to match some new jewelry, so the jewelry sent is piled up all over the warehouse.
Fortunately, Nanli was quick to catch up, so he lived with the Shen branch, otherwise the warehouse would not be enough.
Nanli's new courtyard is also being repaired and sorted out early, called Qingliang Courtyard, the specifications and furnishings are no worse than Yuerong Pavilion's, and even better than Yuerong Pavilion's.
After a lot of preparations, it was finally the end of August for the banquet.
Nanli's upper body is a peach-colored dark striped top, and the lower body is a light green woven gold skirt, and then combed a lily bun, holding two jasper Qibao tassel hairpins, and the tassels are also decorated with pearls.
Even the jewel around the neck also shows wealth everywhere, but it does not look tacky.
Nanli sighed one after another, and only then did she go out to entertain guests with such a dress.
Except for Aunt Qian and Aunt Liang, who couldn't go to the main banquet, their parents and brothers were in the front yard, and even the third brother of the academy rushed back.
Even if Nanli was picked up from the countryside, but she was the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion in Anyang, and each family would naturally attend with a face.
Before the time came to the table, there were already many guests in the front yard.
As soon as Nanli appeared, it attracted the attention of many people.
Her face is slightly round, her eyes are clear and bright, and her skin is fair and flawless.
Many sons and brothers lit up and went over to say hello.
Lu Yanyan was still surrounded by many people just now, but now it is empty.
Her delicately dressed face collapsed in an instant, and said, "This Chu Nanli, who can she show if she is dressed so charmingly." ”
Lu Zheng was beside her and glanced at her: "She is the master's family, she is not rude or outstanding, and she is very decent." But you, when you come to someone else's banquet, how can you be red? ”
