Chapter 394: Where the decision is
Eight bamboo poles are divided in half, and the bamboo poles are tied into two, and then the two big characters are hung on the pole head, and then the bamboo poles are inserted in the left and right corners of the courtyard.
I don't know when I do it, and when I hang it up, everyone is surprised and surprised, two vertical lamps that are more than ten zhang high, from the bottom may be dark and unclear, but if you look at it from a distance, you can clearly see two big characters, "for" and "head".
These two words are really puzzling, although the maids and the family are puzzled, but they don't dare to be curious to ask, at this time everyone can faintly feel that the "tree Mid-Autumn Festival" hung up in advance, there must be other reasons.
But fortunately, the people who stayed in the Hou Mansion were all people trusted by Gong Xiru and Ling Yi, and no one would say anything.
Because he was busy for half an hour, Ling Yi specially ordered everyone to rest for half a day off, and added thirty copper plates to everyone's monthly money as compensation.
Tired is tired, but there is a harvest, the people below are all happy to applaud, seeing that Ling Yi has nothing to say, they all retire and leave.
The courtyard was still filled with a strong smell of ink, Ling Yi sniffed and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't smelled so much ink since I've grown so big."
Steward Wen, take the rest of the ink back-" After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly shook her head and said, "No, you don't need to bring it back, you ordered someone to send it to Wenshan Courtyard for those children." ”
Wenshan Courtyard is where Ling Wen studied, and the children of the poor people who studied there were all children, and a large part of them could not even afford to pay the tuition, let alone pen and paper.
Ling Wen said: "I just sent a batch at the beginning of this month. It is sent at the beginning of every month, and it is sent twice a month, will it cause doubt? ”
Every month, Ling Yi would ask him to send a batch of old paper and ink to Wenshan Courtyard. Although it is not of the highest quality, it is already a blessing from heaven for those children who cannot afford pen, ink and paper.
"No, send it now--In addition, what happened in the palace, you also tell Xu Ge Lao that he is the teacher of the first emperor. is also the most respected teacher today, if he can enter the palace, he will definitely be helpful to His Royal Highness. ”
Gong Xiru couldn't help but step forward and said, "Xu Ge swore many years ago that he would never step into the palace gate again. I'm afraid he won't agree to enter the palace. ”
Ling Yi glanced at Ling Wen: "It depends on the eloquence of the clerk."
I heard that the clerk asked His Royal Highness to bring you the Qitianzhu, and to be honest, I was also very surprised that the clerk would ask for the Qitianzhu.
Whatever the reason, if something happens to His Highness. Then the Aura Bead you wanted will be gone. I believe that the clerk will not be ambiguous in this matter, right? ”
Ling Wen smiled slightly, and said with a respectful attitude: "Since Madam believes in the small one, the little one will do her best, and the little one will go first." After speaking, he bowed down to Ling Yi before letting a few family members leave with the rest of the paper and ink.
Gong Xiru pulled Ling Yi into the house, and while letting the maid pour water, she said, "What is the identity of this Ling Wen?" What's the use of him wanting to enlighten the dzis? ”
"Do you know the origin of the Acalibur Dzi?" Ling Yi asked suddenly.
Gong Xiru thought for a while, "It is the national treasure of the Ning royal family." I heard that absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it can be as bright as day at night, and the brilliance has never dimmed, and ordinary night pearls cannot be compared at all.
However, although I have heard it, it is the first time I have seen it in the Ningguo Palace, and it is indeed not a vulgar thing, even if it is daytime, the brilliance is comparable to the sun and the moon. ”
He laughed as he spoke, Ling Yi guessed a rough idea, and also smiled: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Fourth regrets it?" ”
Gong Xiru chuckled: "No, his eyes are straight when he looks at that Qitianzhu, and the look of regret on his face makes people laugh when he looks at it, I have never seen him such a rare object." ”
"It can make the four highnesses greedy, it seems that if I find an opportunity, I also want to see the demeanor of Qitianzhu - can you go back to my mother's house with me another day?" Ling Yi asked Gong Xi Rudao.
Gong Xiru didn't think about it and said, "Are you suspicious of Ling Wen's background?" ”
Ling Yi shrugged his shoulders noncommittally: "Although Uncle Chang has told me more than once that Ling Wen is just an ordinary person, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a person who wants to enlighten the Heavenly Beads. I felt that Uncle Chang was hiding something from me - even from my father. ”
Gong Xiru knew that her suspicions had always been justified, so she nodded and said, "Okay, when you want to go back, I will accompany you." ”
Ling Yi nodded unconsciously, but she was thinking about another thing in her heart, something she had been ignoring before, in her previous life, Qi Tianzhu had also appeared, and at that time she had only heard about it from Ling Shandao, but the origin of Qi Tianzhu was slightly different from what she knew now-
There was a solemn atmosphere in the Xuanwu Palace, the Praetorian Guards held weapons in their hands, protected Emperor Qinglong on the high platform, stared at the door of the main hall in a strict manner, and their ears were constantly filled with screams, although they were outside the hall, they could also imagine how miserable it was outside at this time.
Qi Hua held the long sword nervously, and in the silence, he suddenly roared, and then walked through the crowd to Qi Mo, put the long sword across the latter's neck, and said angrily: "Let the people outside stop, stop immediately." Otherwise, if I go down with this sword, you will have to go to see your mother who died young. ”
His approach made the people in the hall stunned, there was still a fight outside the hall, only more than a thousand Praetorian Guards resisted, and those rebels outside would rush in at any time, but inside the hall, there was still tension.
Emperor Qinglong didn't know who to believe at this time, it stands to reason that he wouldn't believe that Qi Mo would betray him, but now looking at Qi Hua's performance, coupled with the situation outside, he had to wonder, could it really be Qi Mo?
Elder Wei Ge also stood up and pointed at Qi Mo angrily: "You are a great rebellion, you will be punished by God, do you know that even if you take the world, you will not be able to go on for a long time."
How do you deal with the people? How do you face the royal ancestors? Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, and now there is still a chance to turn back, Fourth Highness, please give an order to let everyone outside stop. ”
Qi Mo didn't care about the cold sword across his neck, and snorted coldly: "What if they let them come in, when someone breaks in, wouldn't it be better for you to threaten my life again." (To be continued.) )
