"Haha......" Shi Xin laughed loudly, and then bent his eyebrows and said: "This is easy to do, in a few days I will have someone to make a batch of needles for your special use, the kind with a hat on one end." ”

"Hey! This is really going to trouble Shi Gongzi, haha! Cen Chi also laughed heartily, but in this way, the feeling of dizziness seemed to be heavier.

"Let's go rest a little longer, you still look a little haggard like this." Shi Xin smiled and helped Cen Chi to walk outside the study.

Cen Chi didn't speak, but Ren Shixin took him to the study. However, as soon as the two of them reached the door, they suddenly heard Xiao Qiang's exclamation coming to them, and then a warm liquid came in through his clothes.

Xiao Qiang, who suddenly appeared at the door with a tray, accidentally collided with the two, and a bowl of ginseng soup in the tray was all spilled, splashing Cen Chi and Shi Xin.

After Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, she immediately bent her knees, knelt on the cold and hard ground with a "bang", and shouted in a trembling voice: "Young master, I'm sorry, the maid behaves rudely, please punish!" ”

A trace of annoyance flashed in Shi Xin's eyes, and it quickly disappeared. The other two people present, one hung his head in fear, and the other was in poor spirits, but they didn't notice the slightest, but the third son of the prime minister said two words calmly after being silent for a while: "It's okay." ”

Seeing that Xiao Qiang was still kneeling on the ground, her shoulders trembling, he spoke again: "Get up, clean up here." ”

Xiao Qiang stood up at this time, her eyes full of fear.

At this moment, a respectful call suddenly came from outside the door: "Young Master......" The end of the voice carried a long hesitation.

"Here we are." Shi Xin heard the identity of the master of the voice, replied, and then took off the coat that was splashed by the ginseng soup and threw it to Xiao Qiang, and at the same time said goodbye to Cen Chi: "Brother Cen, you have a good rest, I have to be busy again, so I won't accompany you much." ”

Cen Chi also bowed goodbye: "Don't dare to disturb." Shi Gongzi walked slowly. ”

After Shi Xin left, Cen Chi turned around and was about to close the door of the study, but at this moment, his eyes fell on the pieces of paper spread all over the floor of the study, and suddenly noticed a corner.

Cen Chi looked at the paper on the floor of the study for several days and nights, and their appearance and placement had been stored in his mind like a brand, so when he saw that corner, he realized at first glance that the folded paper was very unfamiliar.

"Little Qiang." Without thinking, Cen shouted out the fine porcelain bowl that was cleaning up the ginseng soup that had been spilled on the ground.

"Huh?" Xiao Qiang stopped what she was doing and looked up at him, "What's the matter, sir?" ”

Cen Chi originally wanted Xiao Qiang to call back Shi Xin. However, when his gaze met her panic, but his eyes were bright and clear, he suddenly changed his mind. said, "Didn't you tell you not to pick up those things with your hands?" So careless, I don't know what to do to take care of myself? ”

Xiao Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then grinned and said, "Okay, I'll go get the broom." She stood up and just took a step, when she suddenly turned around and pouted, "Sir still said that I am a mile." Aren't you also careless and don't know how to take care of yourself? Mr. Sloppy! ”

Cen Chi shrugged his eyebrows, and suddenly said funny: "Sloppy girl!" ”

When Xiao Qiang heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the panic just now was therefore dissipated.

Seeing that Xiao Qiang had gone to the hall, Cen Chi walked into the study and picked up the unfamiliar piece of paper on the ground.

Shake off the folded piece of paper. A boxy black imprint came into view.

After just one glance at the imprint, Cen Chi could preliminarily determine that it was a trace left by an official seal. Such a type of imprint. He had also seen it before on some of the texts that Shi Xin showed him, and he was no stranger to it.

However, when he saw the contents of the mark for the second time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Jundabao...... Seal? ”

After determining the last word of the four-character square seal, Cen Chi's brows jumped.

The word 'seal' is the exclusive title of the emperor's seal. Such a seal is not on a decree, but on an ordinary piece of paper. And it's blue ink, what's going on?

After contemplating for a moment, Cen Chi's mind suddenly drifted into a sentence that a person had said:

“…… This piece is relatively simple, it is this troublesome point, and it took half a year to complete. ”

――Is it a forgery...... Seals?

As soon as this thought came out, a rumor that had never been passed on in the world of the Prime Minister's Mansion became clear, but what touched Cen Chi's mind the most was the thing he picked up when he was sitting under the tree last night.

Although the thing was quickly 'snatched' back by Muji with great nervousness, the appearance of the thing became clear under the contrast of the imprints on the paper in his hand.

The handwriting on the official seal that Mu Ji took back was reversed, and Cen Chi didn't fully recognize it at that time, but he remembered the two key words, and after comparing them with the square imprint on the paper in his hand, the two words that he didn't recognize last night didn't matter.

But is this really a replica of the Imperial Seal? The imperial seal is a seal with eight characters, 'Heaven bestows Changjing Houde Guangxian', he has also seen it. But if it's not the royal seal, how can you engrave that word? If it is a foreign seal, it is impossible that the words used to express it are not different from the words of Zhaoguo?

Just when several thoughts were intertwined in Cen Chi's mind, Xiao Qiang, who took a broom, walked to the door, looking at Cen Chi in a daze, she didn't know if she would disturb her, and after standing quietly aside for a while, she reminded her in a whisper.

Cen Chi was stunned for a moment, and at the same time quickly crumpled the piece of paper in his hand into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand, and then he turned around, smiled at Xiao Qiang, and walked towards the small courtyard outside the house without saying anything.

Xiao Qiang looked at Cen Chi's expression a little strange, and couldn't help but turn around and chase him out, and asked softly, "Mr. Cen, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cen Chi stopped, looked at Xiao Qiang a few times before temporarily coming back to his senses, and after smiling reluctantly, he took off his coat and handed it to her, and said softly: "Clean up the house!" I'll let you wash the clothes, and I'll go out into the yard to bask in the sun for a while. ”

"Oh......" Xiao Qiang hugged the clothes handed by Cen Chi, she still had doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything more, just thought that Cen Chi was thinking about something, and she was even more difficult to disturb.

Cen Chi walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, glanced at the ball of paper held in his palm, and did not spread it out to take a closer look.

He slowly remembered that there was more than one piece of the emperor's imperial seal, and only he had seen it with the convenience of Guò Shixin, and there were three pieces including the eight-character imperial seal, so if this 'Junda Treasure Seal' was imitated according to the real thing, then it must have its unique use.

What could it be?

What would be the reason for putting things like those of my brother together?

……

Suspiciously, he cleaned up the dregs of ginseng at the door of the study, and carefully closed the door, Xiao Qiang, who returned to the hall, was a little puzzled, what happened to Mr. Cen, who was extremely cautious about the manuscript paper in the study in the past few days, just blink an eye, as if he had lost his soul.

However, when she put the broom back and went out into the courtyard, she could not help but sigh again that not only did the gentleman look like he had lost his soul, but he himself was probably a little transformed into a wandering spirit.

I don't know when it happened, I said that I was going to bask in the sun, but in fact, it was quietly like a drop of water under the scorching sun, and it disappeared silently.

After searching the entire courtyard, but no shadow of that person was found, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but sigh softly. She wasn't too worried that Cen Chi would get lost in this prime minister's mansion, so she didn't stay in the courtyard for long, and walked to the laundry room in the mansion with two coats that had just been splashed with ginseng soup.

……

"Well, I'm really convinced. I don't know if this is because you are too good at playing Laipi, or if he is a little too indulgent with you, starting from the morning, grinding him for an hour, and really making him agree. ”

"It's not far away anyway! You don't have to go out of the city, one round trip, half a day is enough, Master has no reason to worry. ”

“……”

Walking on the street leading to the bamboo temple in the south of the city, Qu Xia held Mo Ye's hand, his face was helpless, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

He often went to that small temple, but today was the first time he took Mo Ye with him. What made him happy was that this kid was full of disdain yesterday, in fact, what he said was all the opposite, and after knocking on the side and finding out the location of the bamboo temple, the child's true intentions could no longer be hidden.

It's just that how can a child be so curious about a place like a temple? Don't people at this age like to go wherever it's lively?

The two of them didn't talk much along the way, and after walking for a while, Qu Xia couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what are you thinking?" When you get to the Bamboo Temple, what are you going to do? ”

"Hmm...... Look at the Big Buddha! Mo Ye touched his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "There is also the matter of wrist beads, I have always been very curious, about what grandpa said that day, I want to listen to the master's explanation." ”

"You want to hear from him?" Qu Xia smiled and said, "Even if he doesn't mind that you are just a child and will patiently explain it to you, you may not be able to understand." ”

Mo Ye said disapprovingly: "He talks about his interpretation, I just have to listen carefully." His understanding may not be something I can understand, I can't understand his interpretation, and I may not be able to come up with my own interpretation. ”

After a pause, she added: "When I was in the academy, there were a few masters who would occasionally give lectures. Although the students may not fully understand it, they will occasionally have novel insights, so I don't think the interpretation of the scriptures will be static. ”

"Well, there is some basis for your claim." Qu Xia nodded, "Among the disciples of Master Xixin, there are occasionally one or two people who enter the world, pass on Buddhist scriptures, and understand mundane things, which is indeed different from the monks in some temples who are locked up in the temple all day long to recite Buddhist scriptures. ”

When he said this, Qu Xia, who casually reached into his arms, suddenly said "Huh".

ps, the imperial seal system in the text draws on the jade seal of Qin Chuanguo, which is eight characters, and the content is borrowed from the jade seal of Empress Zetian (her jade seal is also eight characters). In addition, I would like to add that many ancient Chinese emperors were multi-sealed, and the meaning was also slightly deviated. (There is no charge for this paragraph)
