Chapter 450: Substitutes
(Add)
On the second day of the fifth month, less than seven days before the ancestor worship ceremony, the Ministry of War sent people and horses to the imperial tomb fifty miles away from Jingdong in advance.
In the Taixi Building, a big mention of a purple robe and jade ribbon, a crane crown on his head, sitting behind the bookcase to check the official documents presented today, every once in a while, there will be subordinates into the business, all year round, his clean place is the most lively in these days.
"Taishu, Lord of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you."
"Ask him to come in." Da Tidian put down the official document in his hand again and looked at the figure who hurriedly walked in from the gate.
"Xiaguan has seen the big mention," Lord Wang first saluted respectfully, and then showed a somewhat ugly face, and said in a sullen voice: "From today onwards, I will start teaching the etiquette system to the people holding the instrument, but the Taishi Shuyuan has only sent five people, and the one person who can't be sent can do anything, I asked them to find it, and the left and right waited for a morning, but no one cared, so I had to come and ask the big mention to be the master." ”
Da Ti said gently: "Lord Wang, don't be impatient, wait for me to send someone to ask-Cheng Xu." ”
The guard with a knife at the door walked in with his head bowed, and after listening to his orders, he walked away quickly, and after walking for a while, he turned back, followed by an old man in a military uniform, apparently met by Lu on the way.
"Qi Taishu, Academician Qin of Taishi Shuyuan has arrived."
Qin Yuan, who was sweating hotly, stepped forward and saw Lord Wang who was standing on the side humming angrily, he knew it in his heart, smiled bitterly on his face, and rushed to the people on the high seat:
"It's all the negligence of the lower officials, six people were originally selected, who would have thought that when my granddaughter Yuerou went out this morning, she accidentally fell down the stairs and broke her foot, so she was absent. She can't do it, I'm afraid that I won't be lucky to go on this day of ancestor worship, and I hope to forgive me, I have sent someone to inform the academicians, so that they can choose another person to replace them as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Da Tidian's faint gaze swept over his face, raised his hand and took out a list from under the stacked official documents on the bookcase, opened it, and read them one by one:
"Thirty-two Qin Yuerou in Yili, thirty-eight in thaumaturgy, thirty-nine in Sun Jun, thirty-nine in Feng Shui, Zhan Xueyuan, and Wen Shao'an, the third in thaumaturgy."
Closing the list, he looked up at Qin Yuan with a sneering face, and asked unhurriedly: "Isn't there a female operator who is in the top three on the two lists in this year's Dayan Examination, such a young talent, why can't she see her name among these six candidates?" ”
"This," Qin Yuan hesitated and didn't know how to answer, it can't be said that it was because of Han Wenguang's face, half of the people didn't agree with this female operator to participate in the ceremony.
Lord Wang waited on the sidelines, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but interject: "Since this is the case, there is one less person now, why not add this female operator?" ”
The corners of Qin Yuan's eyes twitched, and he was hesitating whether to object, when he heard an order from above:
"Then she."
Qin Yuan opened his mouth, looked at the purple-robed figure on the seat, and was worried in his heart, but he didn't make a sound in the end, and acquiesced.
The matter was explained, and Qin Yuan and Lord Wang left the Taixi Tower one after the other.
Da Ti looked at the stacked official documents on the desk, rubbed his eyebrows lightly, stood up, walked down to sit on the couch, went around the twelve Huanghuali fan screens, and stepped into the chrysanthemum courtyard of the building.
The Jiuqu Bamboo Bridge floats on the emerald blue water, leading straight to a pavilion, and there is a person sitting in the pavilion, who has no intention of going up, breathing and pranayama, and wearing a Taoist robe to explain his identity, which is Jing Chen, who suspended the study of the Taishi Academy not long ago.
Da Ti walked into the pavilion with one foot in front of him, and Jing Chen slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of clear eyes, with a pure heart and few desires.
"It's the fourth day, and it's really hard for you." Da Tidian stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, and sighed lightly, as if there was pity in his eyes.
Jingchen said indifferently: "It's okay for me, I cultivate in the mountains, I live between the mountains and rocks, and I often don't see anyone for several months." In order to find out the lifebreaker, don't say that you can sit and forget for ten days, and I can also sit for a hundred days. ”
Da Ti nodded with a look of relief, nodded and said, "Your heart is strong, and you are very good." ”
Jing Chen's expression moved slightly, turned his gaze to look at him, and said, "Zhu Shibo, can you tell me now, after finding the lifebreaker, how can I break this life calamity, so as to free my division commanders." ”
Zhu Muzhao turned his back on his left hand, his wide sleeves drew an arc in the air, bent down, raised his right palm, gently stroked Jing Chen's shoulder, and said:
"It's not too late to say that day, so you can wait in peace."
Jing Chen raised his gaze and didn't ask any questions, as if it didn't matter to him.
Zhu Muzhao looked at a pair of white cranes flapping their wings on the water in the distance, and quietly accompanied him for a while before returning to the building to deal with unfinished matters.
Yu Shu stood in front of the stable to feed Xiaohong, absentmindedly thinking that after she packed up the things she was going to bring for tomorrow's trip in the morning, she was worried that something would happen, so she threw the hexagram.
She is becoming more and more familiar with the six lines, and so far she can have an accuracy rate of four or five percent, judging from the hexagrams, they will not be able to do it tomorrow.
Yu Shu muttered in his heart, this head guessed that it would be an unconscious person who delayed the trip, and the other end heard the call of kidney beans:
"Girl, someone came from the front, claiming to be sent by Taishi Shuyuan to deliver the message, please come over."
Yu Shu touched Xiaohong's slender neck and turned his head to meet someone in front.
Half an hour later, Yu Shu stood in the Rongsheng Hall, looked at the few academicians present, and understood the reason why he couldn't make the trip tomorrow.
It turned out that the unconscious person was her.
Qin Yuan sat on his chair and said to Yu Shu with a straight face: "Yuerou was injured and couldn't go to the ancestor worship ceremony, after discussing with several academicians, it was decided that you would replace her, you go back as soon as possible to prepare, and then take the seal letter to the Ministry of Rites to find Lord Wang, who is on an errand." ”
After listening to this simple explanation, Yu Shu almost laughed angrily, what is this called, that day in Rongshengtang, a group of people pulled her down with an abacus, and now they are out of the pool, and they want to find her to make up the number, and she is a female operator just let them come when they call and go?
Yu Shu wanted to say that she was not uncommon, so that they could find whoever they liked, but when the words came to her mouth, she held back her temper and grinded her teeth and smiled:
"I carry the seal letter with me, I don't need to prepare, and I ask Academician Qin to help me find someone to lead the way to the Ministry of Rites."
Such a major event as worshipping ancestors, in the end, she can't tolerate her temperament, and it is not worth ruining her future for a while.
Damn, a good outing is in vain!
Qin Yuan didn't know that Yu Shu secretly hated, so he recruited a female student who knew the way and took her down.
"Hehe, some people's luck should be, no matter how you stop it." Mrs. Lu held her sideburns and looked sneering.
The crowd was silent.
Fortunately, Academician Gao is not here today, otherwise it would be another dispute. (To be continued.)
