Chapter 120: Honglu Temple is a pit

Gu Qing looked at Zhang Xuan, she admitted that Zhang Xuan's "Lonely Smoke" magic technique made her think of him a lot last time, but this could not hide her feeling that she thought he was a weirdo.

For example, he came here today to ask if he needed to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac and then choose a sunny day to open the store......

Does this product regard itself as a god stick + human flesh weather forecaster?

"Everything in this world is done in heaven, and it is up to man to do it. The old body has already done everything that should be done, if the sky is not me, even if it is useless to choose any auspicious day of the zodiac. Gu Qing smiled and said, "As for the sunny weather...... Zhang Daochang, can you predict it now? ”

If you are not prepared, even if you choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, it will not work. Besides, I can't even measure the weather right now, can you? ’

Zhang Xuan hurriedly shook his head.

Just kidding, how dare he say that he is stronger than the Heavenly Monarch!

"When it comes to celestial phenomena, it has always been a matter of predicting the overall situation, and it is difficult to detail it to a certain day. However, there is no problem in only extrapolating whether there will be rain in the next few days, and there are Xiangfeng Wood Birds in the Qin Tianjian Prison, which can predict whether there will be rain by the direction of the wind and the trend of wind flow. In addition, Qin Tianjian also keeps ants, earthworms and spiders, and can also observe celestial phenomena at all times......"

Gu Qing sighed in his heart.

Ancient astronomers did not have satellite images, but they were able to use all their experience to infer the weather. Ants moving and earthworms coming out of their holes mean it's going to rain, but spiders?

"Why do you need spiders?"

"On a sunny day, there are little droplets of water hanging from the spider's web. This is also why I found out that there is such a method after I arrived in Qintianjian, and I used to only make weather predictions through the transformation law of the five elements of yin and yang. "Zhang Xuan felt that it was stupid for him to say this in front of the Heavenly Monarch." In front of you, I won't get an axe. ”

"No, no, the old body is not good at speculating on the weather." Gu Qing waved his hand modestly, "Since Daochang Zhang is an expert, please show the old man a sunny day, and send a message early." ”

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed, this means that he wants to get a favor and will definitely return it in the future?

Gu Qing was very happy in his heart.

Hahaha, looking at her extraordinary personality charm, talented people from all walks of life are vying to come over to help.

Pick up a cheap one and send it to your door!

Gu Qing was still very interested in Zhang Xuan's ability to make the wind storm and go straight to the smoke last time, so he asked.

"It's because Xiaodao is not good at it, so he only summoned two relatives from the mansion to come over...... Zhang Xuan was ashamed, and he knew that the Dao Heavenly Monarch must have found out.

Otherwise, what was the look so strange at that time?

He obviously wanted to show his hand to show that he was a manufacturable material, but now he ruined himself!

"What two ancestors?" Gu Qing felt that a cold wind was blowing behind him, and the person who was blowing was cold. Looking back at Mama Hua and Xiangyun, they both had very nervous expressions.

"At that time, I burned the pardon to express the names of Lao Guogong, the former Pingzhang political affairs, and Mrs. Li's Zhang family, according to expectations, there should have been three people who came to the grave to meet the descendants, but no matter how I look at it, only two people came, so I am very ashamed." Zhang Xuan blushed and said, "Xiaodao can't make a pardon form yet, this is given to me by my master, and I think I can't invite all the ancestors because I can't cultivate." ”

"Pardon Form?! See two people coming? Gu Qing looked like an idiot, is this Zhang Xuan really a magic stick?

Or people with special functions + yin and yang eyes?

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's just a side door, and I can't enter the hall of elegance."

"Then can you induce the souls of people after death?" Gu Qing blinked, "If a person dies and doesn't want to stay somewhere, can you take her away?" Or seducing the soul or something? ”

She has crossed over once, and naturally believes that there is a spirit after death. But she still doesn't know whether she will return to modern times or stay in ancient times after her death.

If she lies next to Lao Guogong Li after her death and occupies the position of Qiu Lao Taijun, it will be too terrible.

She hadn't been a third party when she was alive, how could she do it when she died!

No, it should be said that she hasn't even done a second person!

"Under ...... In the next day, the road has not yet arrived, but if there is a chance, it must be possible...... "Zhang Xuan originally wanted to say that he couldn't do it, but then he thought about it, I can't do anything, what does Tianjun want me to do!"

So he wittily made a small calculation.

"Serendiity? Can you really do it? Gu Qing was overjoyed and said, "What can you do to deepen your Taoism?" ”

A dead horse is a live horse doctor!

It's a big deal that she left a last word when she died, and she must be exceeded!

Zhang Xuan's words were left half, just to let Mrs. Qiu answer. Now seeing that Old Taijun Qiu is really willing to deepen his Taoism for him, let alone smile brightly.

Could it be that this heavenly monarch was ready to be reincarnated, but he accidentally possessed himself and couldn't get out? If this is the case, then this Heavenly Monarch is really unlucky, and he has to wait until the end of this old man's life to get out.

This old lady Qiu should have died early, but now with the merits of this meritorious heavenly monarch, although it will not be able to change his life against the sky and live forever, it is still no problem to prolong his life.

This merit is still increasing, and with each additional point, this old lady Qiu's skin can be maintained for a while longer.

It's also very annoying to come to Tianjun, right? On the one hand, I want to get rid of this divine body as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I also feel that this skin takes up so much merit, and if I can't die properly, my merit will definitely be damaged......

Hmm, you must not tell Tianjun, his master can directly help her soul!

Heavenly Monarch, although it is wrong to calculate you, but the disciple is so eager to the heart of the Dao, you must be able to understand it, right?

Right, yes?

Zhang Xuan's smile made Gu Qing's old heart ripple, this is a serious young man, or a young and handsome man, and he actually smiled so sweetly at her.

Zhang Xuan smiled little by little from his forehead to his eyes, and then to the corners of his mouth, and he also revealed a sense of satisfaction and happiness, and the wrinkles on Gu Qing's face seemed to be relaxed.

Wait, why does she say wrinkles?

"Our Heavenly Master pays attention to 'epiphany', and when we hear the Tao, we can die at night. If I want to deepen my Taoism, it will naturally be very difficult to change to someone else, but it is very easy to ask you, old lady, to ......" Zhang Xuan smiled and showed his white teeth. Seeing that the wish was about to be fulfilled, the joy was about to soar.

"What should the old body do? Let's hear it. Gu Qing showed an interested expression.

He won't see that he is a person from the future, and he wants to teach what exercises he wants, right?

She only knows one set of Tai Chi, or the kind that has absolutely no connotation in painting a scoop according to a gourd!

"Since it is an epiphany, you can enter the Tao with every word. Mrs. Qiu, you just need to chat with me often. Zhang Xuan bit the word "often" very hard.

Gu Qing glanced at Mama Hua behind her and found that she also had an inexplicable expression.

"Chat?"

"Huh? Well. ”

The point is "often", Mrs. Qiu! You've got the point wrong!

Zhang Xuan burst into tears.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Gu Qing pulled out a smile. "Let's talk!"

Honglu Temple.

Li Jun's department was a newly established department, called "Dutingyi", in modern terms, "the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital stationed abroad".

Even in Honglu Temple, this department is small and pitiful, with a large class room in the back and a small vestibule in front, including Li Jun, and there are only five officials at present.

Whether it is the "Huaiyuan Station" in Honglu Temple, which is responsible for the tribute of foreign vassals and subject countries, or the "Monk Lu Division" who is in charge of the accounts of monks and nuns in the Tianxia Court and the supplementary conferral of monks and officials, and even the "Transmission Court", which specializes in translation, is larger than the number of people in their departments, the rooms are much larger, and the officials also have to ......

Decent much.

Li Jun couldn't understand why the colleague on the right hand could lie on the table and sleep until his mouth watered. An hour ago, he was sleeping when Li Jun finished recording his name, and now he has been taken around the Honglu Temple by the main book, and he has seen the sundial when he just came in, and now it is almost past the hour (9 o'clock), and this one is still asleep......

Li Jun turned his head to look at another colleague. The colleague was flipping through a book while holding a chicken leg and gnawing on it, and the paper bag on the desk emitted a pungent smell of meat, thinking that it was breaded with chicken.

…… How the hell did he bring the chickens in!

It's so fragrant, is everyone's nose broken?!

Li Jun watched him muttering "Hua Lami Chicken * Lami" or something in his mouth, while casually throwing away the chicken bones, wiping them on the book, and turning another page with his oily hands......

He hugged his things, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.

Woo woo woo, grandmother, who said that if you learn a foreign language, you are not afraid to go all over the world?

Before he could learn, he was scared half to death, okay?

It's really Sven sweeping the floor, Sven sweeping the floor!!

"Hmm, where did the scent come from?" The official who was asleep woke up without knowing what he heard, he wiped his saliva, patted his face again, and glanced at Li Jun up and down, "New here?" ”

Li Jun nodded hurriedly.

"Are you the new pedestrian Li Jun?" The young official squinted, wiped off his eyes again, yawned and said, "I am Lu Sen, the interpreter of Dutingyi, but I can only speak Tibetan. ”

The interpreter is a seventh-grade, higher than him, a superior from the seventh-grade, Li Jun didn't dare to slack off, and saluted first, and then asked: "Excuse me, where is the seat of the lower official?" ”

There are several vacant seats here, but he doesn't know how to rank them, if he sits in a mess and sits in a place where he shouldn't sit, won't he add a lot of trouble to himself?

Since Li Jun was "taught" by his uncle last time, and made a big joke on the Golden Palace, he has learned a lesson and learned to see more and ask more questions before doing things.

"Oh, by the way, you're still on your first day today, aren't you?" Lu Sen patted his head, "I didn't come to work a few days ago, and I didn't know that today is the first day you came." ”

He pointed to the lanky young man who was eating chicken, "You can sit at the desk next to him." Jin Yi, this is Li Jun, the new pedestrian. By the way, you are a pedestrian and you are responsible for communicating with the Hu people. ”

Jin Yi slapped the table on the left with his oily hand, "You sit here." ”

Li Jun hurriedly thanked him, sat down on the table with his book and the inkstone brush and other things he had sent down, automatically skipped the oil handprint in the middle, and put the things in the upper right corner of the desk.

Jin Yi took out another piece of chicken breast from the paper bag, and when he saw that Li Jun kept looking at him, he smiled and said to the newcomer: "What, you want to have a piece too?" Woke up early in the morning and didn't eat breakfast? ”

"I've eaten ......"

"Come on, come on, you're welcome, this Daokou roast chicken is very fragrant and tastes authentic!" Jin Yi took out a piece of chicken wings and sent it in the direction of Li Jun.

Li Jun looked at the roast chicken where the cold oil was solidified on the chicken wings, and felt goosebumps rising, so he hurriedly waved his hand again and again to decline the kindness of his colleagues.

"Shangguan's kindness is appreciated by Xiaguan, but Xiaguan really ate it in the morning, and he can't eat it now."

"Oh, that's a pity." Jin Yi took back the chicken in disappointment. "Don't call me Shangguan, I'm the protocol Jin Yi, and like you, I am also from the seventh grade, and I can't be considered an official."

"Brother Jin, it's still time to be on duty, you are like this, you are not afraid that the secretary or Siqing will find out......"

Li Jun couldn't help but persuade.

Although it is said that their department is newly established, it is not full, and they are all studying, but if they are so lazy, if they are discovered, won't it leave a bad impression from the beginning?

Just because I'm still in the internship, I should work harder!

"Where will they come, these Shangguan sit in the office all day and eat tea, where do you care about our little minions......" Jin Yiman didn't care about stuffing the chicken breastbone into his mouth.

"Really? It turns out that I sit in the office all day and eat tea......"

"Wu Zhicheng? Xia Guan didn't mean that, cough, cough, uh, vomit......"

Lu Sen was also startled on the side, how could this adult come silently!

The new pedestrian is a crow's mouth!

Li Jun rolled his eyes when he saw Jin Yi, and was so frightened that he hurriedly ran over and slapped him on the back.

"Lord Wu, Translator Lu, go find the doctor, he is choking on the chicken breastbone!"

If you choke and can't breathe, you may die!

"Luzon, you go to the medical officer." Wu Zhicheng didn't know that his words would scare this Jin Yi like this.

He shook his head. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Feasting in the cabinet is a crime of dishonorability, and it will be punished for three months. Sometimes it's not too much to eat a little snack, but take the roast chicken to the cabinet and chew it......

However, although he had long known that the officials in the pavilion were hopelessly rotten, and he was also waiting for the new old Hanlin and Jinshi to squeeze them out, he had not thought of such a cruel thing as asking for human lives, so he hurriedly asked Lu Sen to find a medical officer to take a look.

Lu Sen got the order and ran away.

"Li Jun, what about the other two?"

"Xia Guan didn't know, Xia Guan just came back after getting acquainted with Lord Bo Honglu Temple, and he didn't see the other two."

"I really don't know what to say, I just run away after ordering, and I can't treat my Dutingyi as my own house!" Wu Zhicheng was in a hurry, there were only a few people in a department, and two of them ran away at once!

Seeing Jin Yi holding his throat and looking like he was having trouble breathing, Li Jun gritted his teeth and shouted "offended", dragged him over, sat on the stool first, and then let him lie on his lap. He was originally going to use this position to make him lean against the wall for a handstand, and then slap his back to pour things out, but he lifted Jin Yi's legs and feet for a long time, and he couldn't stand upside down.

He had no choice but to press his head down and slap him the back.

"Vomit, vomit...... cough cough ......" Jin Yi's eyes were so painful that he burst into tears, but fortunately, he finally spit out the chicken bones and meat.

Li Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the small ball of chicken with bones and skin on the ground.

Seeing Li Jun sweating profusely and Jin Yi in tears, Wu Zhicheng snorted coldly and shook his sleeves.

"I should be glad that I didn't let the officials of the Yushitai see it, is this still Honglu Temple? It's like a tavern restaurant on the street! ”

Where has Li Jun ever seen such an official authority, although his cousin is also in a high position, he has never been cold-faced at home.

At the moment, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, so he could only hold on to Jin Yi and bow his head and be silent.

Wu Zhicheng was angry, and he was all sent to the original subordinate officials of this capital pavilion. Shengshang intends to open a new Hu City, which may not be an opportunity for Honglu Temple. For a long time, as a four-grade yamen, Honglu Temple has not been taken seriously at other times except for some things when paying tribute every year, and it is not a prominent position.

After all, the current dynasty drove away the regime established by the Western Hu, and its attitude towards the Hu people was more cautious than in previous generations. Although Honglu Temple is in charge of the tribute, but there are not a few Fanbang who come to pay tribute, and even if they come, they are all for the tea and cloth and other things that are given back after the tribute, and it is said to be a tribute, but in fact, it is a kind of transaction because there is no mutual market.

Now that it is preparing for the mutual market, Honglu Temple, as the head of the yamen, will soon become important. But the establishment of the seven officials and twenty classes in this capital pavilion is not full until now, and the officials sent in are all mixed food and other dead goods who come in with a relationship, even if the virtue and politics are good, no one will preside over them, and they will be blind.

Now the most iron-faced Zuo Shaoqing and the Qianren went to Fenzhou to inspect the situation in various counties, if he waited for him to come back and saw that this Dutingyi was such a group of crooked melons and cracked dates, I was afraid that his head would be scolded.

Fortunately, there is still a neat one in the crooked melon and cracked dates.

"Li Jun, if you put Jin Yi down, he didn't die just now, and he won't die now." Wu Zhicheng raised his chin and asked Jin Yi to find a place to sit by himself, "When the medical officer comes, he will naturally look at him, you come with me first." ”

He really doesn't want to stay in this cabinet for a moment!

Li Jun glanced at Jin Yi apologetically, helped him to sit on the stool, turned around and left his cabinet with Wu Zhicheng, and followed him outside.

"I know that you are the cousin of the Xinguo family, and you are the heir of the second class, and you want to be this small official with a big sesame seed, you are really wronged." As soon as Wu Zhicheng opened his mouth, Li Jun was startled.

"Xiaguan doesn't dare, although Xiaguan's family is related to the Xinguo Mansion, Xiaguan has been studying in the countryside of Jingnan, and he never thought that he could become an official of the imperial court. Xia Guan originally thought that it would be enough to have a fame, but now that he is like this, he is already very happy. Li Jun was telling the truth, Wu Zhi had read countless people, and he knew that this young man was not a slippery person, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"Although our Honglu Temple is not a prominent yamen, it is in charge of the tribute, feasting, giving, and welcoming of the four Yi, and it also involves the fierce rites of the country, the ancestral temple of the central capital, and the monks of the world.

Wu Zhicheng glanced at Li Jun, "The Duting Station where you are located is a new ministry that was only established this year, and you will be in charge of Hu City affairs in the future." The communication of the country is never trivial, every word and deed represents the face of Da Chu. In the past, most of the translators or subordinate officials were sent out and would come back after dealing with the affairs of the domain, but now the capital pavilion is to be resided, and the character of the officials is even more important......"

"The lower officials must always reflect on themselves and not embarrass Da Chu." Li Jun knew that this Shangguan was beating him, and hurriedly responded, showing vigilance.

"There is one Lingcheng in Dutingyi, two pedestrians, two interpreters, and two protocols. In the future, if the Hu market is established, you will have to go to the place where the Hu market is located to manage the mutual market affairs. To be honest with you, now except for you who asked for it personally, everyone else has been shoehorned in, and if you can't pass the assessment in half a year, we won't want any of them. Wu Zhicheng glanced at him meaningfully, "I think since you can be the first in the second class, it is not difficult to learn many geographical literature, history, etiquette and customs of the feudal state." I hope you won't be brushed out in half a year. ”

Li Jun was under a lot of pressure when he said this, so he could only nod his head again and again, indicating that he would study hard in the future and be determined to go to Lu every day.

Wu Zhicheng took Li Jun away again, and said some about the current situation of Honglu Temple, as well as where the court and Huaiyuanyi can borrow books to read with official cards, and his concern for Li Jun was overflowing.

Li Jun was grateful for the attention of several officials in Honglu Temple, and wrote them down in his heart one by one, since he was born, he has never been so valued, so he is naturally full of excitement, and he can't wait to make a career immediately.

After a while, Wu Zhicheng took Li Jun and turned back to the ministry where Dutingyi was located.

"Don't think your ministry is small, it's because you're going to move out in the future. When you arrive in Fenzhou, there will be a special office for you. It's ridiculous to think that we left the new department of Dutingyi in this remote corner because we didn't pay attention to them, which is really helpless. ”

Li Jun didn't dare to speak, so he just listened with his head bored.

In the cabinet, Jin Yi was already being looked at by the medical officer, Lu Sen looked at the door anxiously, and when he saw Li Jun and Wu Zhicheng, he first showed a slightly disappointed look, and then saw that it was these two people, and his face changed to a calm expression.

"Wu Zhicheng, Xu Xuchang and Liu Ziyan are going to ...... today"

"You don't have to say much, go back and let them come to the official themselves, and let them explain what they are going to do." Wu Zhicheng said indifferently, "I came today to inform you ......."

"Although Ling Cheng and pedestrians are vacant now, starting tomorrow, you will go to Huaiyuanyi every morning after midnight to learn the customs and habits of various tribes in the Fenzhou grassland, and go to the court in the afternoon to learn Hu languages such as Qiang and Di Chinese, if you are so indulgent, don't blame the official for directly passing on your bad deeds to the officials!"

When it is passed to the ministry, they don't want to be promoted again, and if it is serious, they may be cut off in this life.

Jin Yi smiled bitterly. He came to this capital pavilion because he heard that this yamen is relaxed. They don't like to read in the first place, so they are shaded officials, and now they finally get the shade officials, and they still have to study again!!

Lu Sen also secretly complained, he was originally sent to the court, and then he was under the three performance appraisals, and he was about to be dismissed, so he left the relationship between the officials and transferred to Dutingyi.

He has studied Tubo for many years, and he knows how difficult it is to learn a Hu language, and now he can't even use his old profession, so he has to learn these new ......

Li Jun looked at Jin Yi, who was holding his throat and smiling bitterly, and then looked at Lu Sen with a blank face, and suddenly felt a little sad.

He was just told by his boss that the people in your department are unhappy and want to replace them all and keep you alone. He has just been appointed as an official, so naturally he has a lot of expectations for the future. For example, colleagues love each other, everyone helps each other and works together or something.

Now that I'm just starting to get to know each other, it's become so embarrassing.

Why did Wu Zhicheng tell him this thought? If he didn't tell himself that he was not satisfied with these people and wanted to replace them, maybe he could still get along with these people naturally.

At night, Li Jun went home, lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, so he had to dig out a book of Chinese sayings printed by the court and analyze it.

The language used by the Qiang people only has syllables and no words, so most of them are annotated by men, and he is confused when he looks at him.

…… He began to feel hopeless about the future again.

This thing can only be seen as a book from heaven!

On the other side, in the Qingcang Courtyard.

Li Rui, who went home to pack his things, stood in the corner of the wall, helplessly watching Gu Qing command a bunch of girls to clean up this and that.

Gu Qing felt that she had already learned in advance what it was like to send her child to college.

"This, this stove belt, maybe suddenly the weather gets cooler or something......"

"Grandma, there's a stove in the palace."

"Then bring this, in case the clothes get wet, you can iron them dry!"

"Grandma, if your clothes are wet, you'll get a new one."

"What about this? You can bring these games with you and you can bring other children to play with. ”

"Well, this is fine, so bring it with you."

Gu Qing looked at Li Rui's helpless expression and grabbed his face.

"Ahhh Aren't ordinary grandmothers hugging and patting or something! Why did he get to his grandmother and go straight to his face?!

"Thick-skinned enough, you should be able to live well in the palace." Gu Qing said thoughtlessly, his eyes reddening.

"If you are wronged, tell me and your uncle, don't carry it yourself, ah?"

Li Rui was not sad originally, but when his grandmother said this, his nose became sour.

He turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Who can give me grievances? Grandma, you think too much. ”

"Also, you're so tall, and your classmates are all children, so if they want to beat you, they have to beat you first."

"Grandma'!!"

Li Rui felt that his duck throat was forced out by his grandmother.

Is this what she means by grievance?

Afraid of losing a fight???

Shiro was moved!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Gu Qing: Come, let's talk, what do you want to hear?

You don't talk about life and ideals, do you?

Zhang Xuan (no): I want to hear about the immortals......

Who the hell are you?

Gu Qing (nodding in understanding): Then I'll tell you a story about the immortals. It is said that the East China Sea is proud to come to the country of Huaguo Mountain......

Zhang Xuan: (winks) Monkeys? Are you always a monkey?
