Chapter Twenty-Nine: See Jade Xuanji
The sky was bright and it was a new morning
After breakfast, Gu Yunxi and Qing'er left the Admiral's Mansion and walked around the street.
When he got up in the morning, Gu Yunxi tried to make "Jiaozhu Pear" again. Mix a little salt and alkali powder with well water to try to imitate the saltiness of pear rain. Unfortunately, the cheese that was steamed in the oven was like a pulp and could not be formed at all.
And so, the experiment failed again.
Gu Yunxi was already upset, so she told Qing'er to change into men's clothes and accompany her to the street to relax.
Walking through the streets, every time he passed a wine shop or teahouse, Gu Yunxi would ask the shopkeeper if there was any pear rain to sell here.
The listeners shook their heads frequently, and some even looked at Gu Yunxi's master and servant as strangers, and looked at him very strangely.
Pear rain, in a literal sense, is the spring rain nectar that falls from the sky when the pear blossoms bloom, but it is extremely precious and rare.
It is now approaching the end of March, and the pear trees have not bloomed before Qingming. Even if it is a few days later, when the flowering period arrives around the Qingming Festival, who can guarantee that in that short period of time, God will definitely rain and dew?
Therefore, what the pear rain wants, the right time and place are indispensable.
Unconsciously visited more than a dozen blocks, the morning has passed, the master and servant are tired, so it is convenient for an open-air tea shed on the side of the road to rest.
Gu Yunxi's face was full of sadness, his eyes were dull, and he stared at the big bowl of tea on the table silently. My mind was a mess, and I was thinking about it, but I couldn't get rid of the shadow of the pearl pear.
The blended well water cannot make the formed cheese, but it can be replaced with ordinary well water, but the cheese made does not taste right.
How is this good?
Qing'er saw it on the side, and couldn't help but chatter:
"Our girl is real, people say that they want you to do it yourself, you have to do it yourself, why can't you ask Cheng Qianhu to look for someone in the palace, the aunts in the Tosi dining room made some ingenious things and gave them to the young man. She didn't see you behind her, how did she know it wasn't yours? ”
Gu Yunxi raised his eyes dullly, and saw Qing'er's honest and innocent energy on the other side of the table, only to feel that this girl was also cute.
Gu Yunxi suppressed her irritability, smiled gently, and patiently explained to her:
"I've thought of this for a long time. It's not that there is no one in our palace, but at the moment, Dongchang is in danger, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at us, so if you don't alarm the palace, you won't be alarmed. After today, if I can't make a similar Jiaozhu pear, I will have to trouble Yu Zhaoyi again. Let her take a high-quality dish out of the palace in her own name and give it to Fu Danqing to see. ”
Qing'er blinked, her eyes turned slightly, as if she was thoughtful, and her round and white face showed a little worry.
"Girl, how can you be sure that if you have a portrait, we will be able to find someone who looks the same as the portrait? What if all three of them are ruined by bad guys? Aren't we working for half a day? ”
It's not that Qing'er thinks too much. In fact, the same concerns have always existed in Gu Yunxi's heart.
However, at present, there are still a few fans with freedom of movement outside the East Factory, and there is a lack of manpower. Although the method that Gu Yunxi came up with was stupid, it was the most capable plan for those people.
Gu Yunxi smiled bitterly, took a bowl and took a sip of hot tea, and then said:
"In addition to her outstanding skills, the girls in the Gongyuan are a sign of being one in a hundred. Compared with talent, face is their capital. If the appearance is broken, even if a person has miraculous skills, he is no longer valuable. Instead of trying to break them and sell them at a discount, it is better to kill them directly. Heng Zhi and several of them have criminal records, and they are always in trouble, and no one wants to get angry because of them. ”
Qing'er understood, nodded, looked at Gu Yunxi's delicate melon seed face, and laughed lightly:
"Indeed, when I see our girl being such a smart character, I know how iconic the women in the Tribute Courtyard are!"
Gu Yunxi was stunned by the little girl's disguised praise, and then blushed and sneered:
"Dead girl, the more out of shape!"
Qing'er couldn't stop laughing "hehe".
Gu Yunxi looked at it from afar, his eyes became empty, and his voice was filled with a hint of amazement:
"As long as you have perseverance and care enough, I think, one of these three people can be rescued! Only if there is a witness, it can be pointed out that the matter of the Spring Banquet has nothing to do with our overseer, so that Dongchang can also lift the pain of the siege of the forbidden army as soon as possible. ”
After listening to this, Qing'er's expression suddenly changed, and she lowered her eyes slightly, showing a little sorrow:
"I wish I could find those three soon...... It's been nearly 20 days, and there is no news from the blockers, so be cautious...... I haven't seen each other for a long time......"
Compared with Su Ri's voice, Qing'er's son's voice is not too loud. In the second half of the sentence, the timbre became more and more light as smoke.
Gu Yunxi was only a small square table away from her, not too far away, so he could hear her words very clearly.
Immediately, Gu Yunxi's apricot eyes widened, and his delicate facial features suddenly condensed into an extremely unbelievable expression, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"No, it won't! Qing'er, you ...... Do you have a crush on my little Shen brother?! When? ”
"Oh, girl, be quiet!"
Qing'er was shy, her face was flushed, and she complained to her embarrassedly.
“……”
Gu Yunxi calmed down at this time, looked around the left and right, and saw that the other tea guests in the tea shed were all dumbfounded, looking directly at her and Qing'er, with different expressions on their faces, full of doubt, shock and surprise.
Gu Yunxi instantly realized that he and Qing'er were both women disguised as men to go out, and the two voices shouting just now were not difficult to arouse suspicion.
Gu Yunxi drank all the tea in the bowl in a panic, took out a few copper plates and threw them on the table, pulled up Qing'er and ran.
It was only after getting rid of those strange glances that the two of them were back to wandering.
Gu Yunxi turned his head to look at Qing'er, and thought:
These two pairs are pretty good! himself and the Overseer, his own maid and the Overseer's close guard.
So, she smiled and said:
"It's okay, you can't stay with me for the rest of your life. Wait a little longer
When you grow up in two years, I will go to the overseer and Uncle Cheng to tell you to point you to Brother Xiaoshen. ”
Qing'er was silent, her face turned red again, and she bowed her head shyly and stopped talking.
There are more and more pedestrians on the road, bustling and crowded.
Gu Yunxi found at this time that the street where they were now was lined with shops, and there were obviously more retail stalls than the few streets they had just passed, so it was no wonder that it would attract a large number of tourists.
"Weird, what day is it?"
"Girl, today is fifteen, and in front of me is the royal Taoist temple 'Pengxian Temple'. Every year before the Qingming Festival, every fifteenth, the Taoist temple will open the mountain gate to welcome pilgrims from all over the world. In the past few years, every time it is this day, when the national teacher Yu Xuanji will come to the Taoist temple and open the altar. ”
When he lived in Gongyuan, Gu Yunxi almost lived a life of isolation and lack of news. Now I don't know much about what Qing'er dictated. After listening to her, she was not very interested.
After walking for a short time, the master and servant followed the crowd of people who were crowded and wandering like a river carp, and they had already reached the boundary of Pengxian Temple.
This place deserves to be called a royal Taoist temple!
Before approaching the main gate, a few miles away has seen the vermilion wall towering and majestic, and the glazed tiles are clear and yellow. A closer look, the edge of each piece of glazed tile, are carved with a flying dragon, majestic, lifelike, exquisite carving to the winding dragon body, each piece of small scale armor is clear texture. It is everywhere, and it is different from other Taoist temples, and it is stained with the splendor and grandeur of the royal nobles.
Raising your head, you can see the exquisite buildings, standing solemnly and orderly. The towering ancient trees are lush and green, like emerald green clouds, one after another between the buildings and the palace, becoming full of vermilion, and each is extremely eye-catching decoration.
Near the red wall, there are occasionally a few branches of ancient trees, bent by the new dense young leaves, hanging shyly on the glazed tiles. The breeze blew and the color was mottled, and the red wall and the adjacent clean road surface gave birth to a lively shadow, which continued to rise and fall with the rhythm of the leaves.
seemed to be fascinated by the swaying scenery, and after walking for a while, Qing'er suddenly pulled Gu Yunxi's arm on a whim, her eyebrows were flying, and she said with a happy expression:
"Girl, let's go into the Taoist temple to have fun!"
Gu Yunxi was excited to see Qing'er, and she didn't want to disappoint her. But at this time, the Jiaozhu pear in her brain turned happily, and the flickering picture shook her headache.
Gu Yunxi's eyes darkened, and he shook his head:
"Don't do it, let's go ahead again, we still have business to do!"
"Please, good girl! Qing'er hasn't been on the street for a long time. Today is rare fifteen, the market is lively, let's play for a moment! ”
Gu Yunxi saw that she was pitiful, and after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, let's play for a while, and then go to the street in front of us to see if there are any more wine shops and teahouses."
"Okay! Thank you, girl! ”
Qing'er's eyes lit up with joy, like brilliant starlight, shining constantly at Gu Yunxi.
Gu Yunxi's face sank, and he chattered and complained:
"I've said you've said many times, and when you're out of the house, you can't call me 'Childe'......"
Before the sentence was finished, the person was dragged by the impatient Qing'er by the arm and turned to the right side, and moved towards the outer door of Pengxian Temple.
The crowd was crowded, dense as hemp, and everywhere in his vision was the back of his head swaying slowly, Gu Yunxi couldn't see the shape of this royal Taoist temple at all, he only felt that among the pines and cypresses, everywhere was golden and imposing, and his whole body was blessed by an awe-inspiring solemn aura.
Gu Yunxi walked slowly on one wall, quietly felt this unusual atmosphere on the other, and said secretly in his heart:
This aura that can make admirers come to watch and worship and then be awe-inspiring is not only the Taoist atmosphere condensed by the devotion of many believers and the enlightened Taoist heart of the practitioners, but also the majestic and magnificent aura that it is contaminated with the word "royal".
With patience, the master and servant followed the center of the slowly marching crowd, moving step by step, and finally entered the main hall.
There is a statue of the patriarch of the three Qing ancestors enshrined on the shrine on the right place, all of them are charitable, and their demeanor is peaceful, so that when the next good men and women pay their respects, their hearts suddenly have a sense of reverence.
Under the shrine, there is a long incense case of Nanmu, and a purple gold amphora incense burner, a lotus candlestick and a bronze flower goose are placed on the case.
Above the statue of the patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty and in all directions of the main hall, there are hanging pairs of lotus flags and flying dragons stepping on the jewelry cover.
Gu Yunxi and Qing'er first embroidered a futon in front of the incense case and worshipped the Sanqing Patriarch, and then donated some incense and candle money to the Taoist priest. In the end, Gu Yunxi, under Qing'er's prodding, walked to the divination place on the east side of the main hall and shook it out.
The white-bearded old man took the hexagram on the seat, looked at it briefly, and his expression was condensed. Then he turned his head, looked at Gu Yunxi, who was dressed handsomely, and asked with Yan:
"Dare to ask Childe, what is this sign asking?"
Gu Yunxi was inexplicably nervous in his heart, smiled embarrassedly, glanced at Qing'er, and then looked directly at the Taoist, and replied:
"Ask about marriage."
Lao Dao was just about to open his mouth, his gaze was deflected, and his eyes were completely soaked in a fiery red color.
A clear voice, with a dignified and irrepressible momentum, rose from behind Gu Yunxi:
"If you want to get married, will you let the poor Dao explain this sign for the son?"
When Gu Yunxi turned around in response, Lao Dao had already gotten up and waved hands with each other.
The man was dressed in a red gossip fairy robe, with high black hair, a crown of hibiscus on his head, a long figure, and an extraordinary fairy appearance.
Looking at the face, I saw a face with sharp edges and corners, and a trace of coldness and handsomeness in the white and flawless complexion; The eyes are dark, and a pair of pupils are dark and lukewarm, bottomless. The long eyebrows are elegant, with a sense of indisputable silence. Joan's nose is high and straight, and her lips are beautiful, and when she is soaked, she exudes a momentum of indifference and alienation.
If "the stranger is like a jade" is used as a metaphor for the handsomeness of Leng Qingtang, then the person in front of him can perfectly interpret his poems and essays that are detached from the world, immortal arrogance and indifference and indifference, only that sentence:
The jade bone ice muscle is cold.
Gu Yunxi stared blankly at the man with delicate facial features in front of him, and he didn't know if his face was burned by his flame-colored robe
Before I knew it, my cheeks turned red.
Seeing Gu Yunxi's gaffe, his lips moved slightly, as if he was smiling, and took two steps forward, getting closer to her.
Qing'er frowned, she had already noticed that her girl looked a little abnormal after this person appeared. Stretched out his hand to pull her back a few steps, turned his face to the comer, and asked angrily:
"Hey! Who are you, don't get too close to my son-in-law! ”
There was a boy beside the man, and when he heard that Qing'er was not speaking well, he smiled coldly, raised his face proudly, and deliberately lengthened his voice and said:
"This is the Lord of Pengxian Guanguan, when the national teacher of the dynasty Yuxuanji Immortal Chief!"
Qing'er looked startled, and then stopped.
The red man's indifferent face became even more gloomy, and he lowered his eyes to the boy and reprimanded:
"Mouthy!"
Gu Yunxi had come back to his senses at this moment, and looked at the person in front of him again, his expression stunned.
Judging by the age of this person, he is younger than his own overseer Leng Qingtang, and he is actually ...... Be a national teacher!
If you want to come to Emperor Xiao to re-worship Taoism and Confucianism, this person is not only a national teacher, but he should be the person next to the emperor
Yu Xuanji's deep gaze locked on Gu Yunxi, who looked embarrassed and formless, and when he opened his mouth, a pleasant voice sounded like a bell ringing and jade crashing:
"I don't know the son, but do you still recognize the poor way?"
Gu Yunxi was embarrassed and couldn't answer. She only felt that the voice of the person in front of her was familiar, whether she had seen it or not, and where she had seen it, she was completely unimpressed.
Yu Xuanji bent her eyes, and if she smiled, she casually reminded her:
"At the beginning of March, on the palace treasure and palace, the poor road and the prince had a relationship."
“!”
Gu Yunxi was surprised, and then remembered that when the spring banquet happened, he was slapped by Minglan in the Baohe Palace. Later, one person raised his voice in time and respectfully asked the emperor to move to the road, so as to avoid her suffering from punishment for the second time.
Gu Yunxi woke up like a dream, only blaming himself for being too dull, and hurriedly arched his hand to Yu Xuanji:
"Disrespectful, disrespectful! In the lower eye, I have no intention of offending the national teacher, please forgive me. ”
Yu Xuanji waved his hand, smiling lightly:
"Childe doesn't have to be like this. On that day, Gongzi put life and death out of the way, fearless of power and danger, and loyally defended the Lord's actions, which really made the poor Dao admire. Although Poor Dao is not a regent, he has some personal relations with the cold governor of Dongchang. It is close to Qingming, and the palace is busy in the Daolu and Pengxian Temple, so it is inconvenient to visit the Admiral's Mansion, and I don't know how the Leng Governor's injury is now? ”
"Immortal Chief, rest assured, the Overseer's injuries are healed, and in about ten days, he will be able to walk around on the ground."
Gu Yunxi replied generously.
"That's the best......"
Yu Xuanji nodded happily, and then changed his words:
"Today, I am fortunate to meet Gongzi in the view of divination, and I came to help one or two. I don't know if Childe minds signing the hexagram to the poor road to watch? ”
“…… Good ......"
Gu Yunxi's expression was slightly confused, and he hesitated slightly, but he still presented the hexagram to Yu Xuanji with both hands.
Thinking that day, Bao and the palace had him secretly helping each other, this person had a cold face and no evil appearance, should he not be a treacherous person.
Yu Xuanji lowered his gaze and looked at the title of the signature:
"Nuwa Refining Stone"
Raising the corners of his eyebrows slightly, he turned over the hexagram again, and silently read the words behind the sign:
"In the past, the ship lost its needle, and now it is still found in the sea. If you find the original needle, it will take a lot of effort and trouble. ”
Gu Yunxi stared at Yu Xuanji's white face and concentrated. Seeing that he was silent for a long time, his pink and delicate thin lips hugged a detached smile, he couldn't help but feel at a loss, and asked timidly:
"Dare to ask the immortal chief, what is the explanation of this sign?"
Yu Xuanji finally raised his head, his gaze fell fixedly on Gu Yunxi, who looked uneasy, and described a sly rhetorical question:
"Childe, are you really asking about marriage?"
"Exactly!"
"This is a sign, a great omen!"
Obviously, he just won the lottery, and he was destined to stay together, and he worked hard.
"This ...... How could this be ......"
Gu Yunxi didn't know that he was coaxed, and immediately turned pale, and his eager and aggrieved little expression fell in the eyes of others, and he had an indescribable coquettish posture.
Qing'er's eyebrows were raised, and her shrewd and sharp eyes approached Yu Xuanji, and she shouted:
"Don't talk about it, you Taoist priest!"
Yu Xuanji sneered, his expression slightly sneering:
"Cultivators don't speak. This signature is said to be 'looking for a needle in a haystack, a sign of hard work', and the signature title is exactly 'Nuwa refining stones'.
Nuwa God, exhausted the Yuan Shen refining to replenish the heavenly stone and self-inflicted on himself. If you want fame and fortune, it's easy to say, but the son asks about the marriage of a couple, then the hexagram is, the light one is Lao Yan flies, and the heavy one is ......"
"How?!" Gu Yunxi was so nervous that his pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked urgently.
Yu Xuanji walked straight for a few steps, bowing slightly, a young and handsome but insensitive face, only two fingers away from Gu Yunxi's frightened and sad little face.
Her eyes widened, and the bright light seemed to reach the depths of her body and mind in an instant, seeing through her soul.
Qingyin was solemn and cold, and Yu Xuanji said word by word clearly:
"One of the two died!"
Gu Yunxi was so shocked that his ten fingers trembled, and he took two steps back, drenched in cold sweat, like a shower, it was obviously extremely difficult to accept this result.
"No...... How could this be ......"
She raised her hand anxiously, wiping her sweaty forehead from the back of her hand. The red rope on his wrist moved slightly, and the two delicate golden beans collided with each other, firmly affecting Yu Xuanji's sight.
A cold glow swept through his deep eyes, and he chuckled and asked:
"I don't know which famous lady the son has taken a fancy to, why is he so anxious?"
Qing'er glanced at him fiercely and grabbed her girl:
"Let's go, don't stay in this hellish place, and then go to find pear rain!"
Behind him, a trace of essence flashed in Yu Xuanji's eyes, and he suddenly asked in a loud voice:
"Childe is looking for the nectar of the sky during the pear blossom season? In the poor Taoist temple, there is this thing" 2k reading network
