XXXVII. High injuries

Yang Sutian felt a little puzzled about the appearance of Dao, a person with such ability was an entourage under a subordinate like Li Xuhui, and his status was even lower than that of a housekeeper, there should be a hidden secret. When Dao Zhen heard that he could take him to Ouyang Xiang's Mansion, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, he was a little remorseful about this trip to the border pass, and he was looking for a chance to get out. Yang Sutian found that even if he suddenly told Daozhen to take him into Beijing, he didn't have the excitement and joy that he should have, and the mystery in his heart became even greater.

With a few officers and soldiers, Yang Sutian rushed to the capital, Dao Zhen wanted them to make a detour past Shi Qi's tavern, but the place was too small, even if they stopped, they couldn't sit down to eat and drink. It may be that he has a feeling for Lin Qian Temple, Yang Sutian decided to go up the mountain again and came to the temple, Daozhen asked him to stay and rest for one night, Yun Chi received the news that he did not meet Yang Sutian, and told the monks in the temple that if the military master asked about the abbot, he would tell him that the abbot had gone out.

Because after not having sex with Jiang Xianglian, Shi Qi couldn't hold on in the tavern in Qingshi Town, not because Jiang Xianglian was unwilling, but because his own concentration was insufficient, Shi Qi thought of Lin Qian Temple, he had heard that cultivation could go to desire, and he pushed the tavern thing away, and he came to the temple. Daozhen found out that he was there, of course he didn't shave his hair, thinking of what happened when he was in the courtyard of the fourth lady, he tried Shi Qi's skills again by night, it was really the same as he imagined, a woman, a bone-eroding character, Shi Qi left Jiang Xianglian, and now his state is even better than before. He is a master, a monk, and he also realized the beauty from the fourth lady, he is not good at mentioning Shi Qi's taboo too directly, but from the fact that Shi Qi can tell himself to come back to meditate, Dao Zhen knows that Shi Qi is still sensible.

Yang Sutian found that there was a little boy who was not a monk during the night watch in the temple, and he couldn't sleep, so he called Shi Qi to the front and asked, "Why do you live here?" Where is home? Shi Qi said: "I am from Shijiazhuang under the mountain, because I don't want to go home to live, my mother said that the mountain is quiet, and she wants me to study here, review my homework, and wait for the next year's big exam." Yang Sutian said: "It turns out that you are still a little talent, so how about I test you?" He asked a few questions about the imperial examination, but he didn't expect that Shi Qi quoted scriptures and classics, and was more proficient than Yang Sutian, an old man in the scientific field, and much better than Yang Weihu.

Yang Sutian frowned, not to mention the world's moves, even a child in the temple has a deeper grasp than the son he has carefully cultivated. He asked, "Who is your teacher?" Mr. Local? I want to see him, can you take me tomorrow? Shi Qi knew his identity in the afternoon, he also knew his past from Daozhen, such an official with status, Yun Chi avoided it, he knew that the other side was definitely not an ordinary person, Shi Qi said politely: "My master has stopped teaching me in the first two years, and when I go back, I can't find him. ”

Yang Sutian said: "How dare I reprimand, I'm just curious about your talents, now that Lord Ouyang is employing people, I can help you introduce you, are you willing to follow me into Beijing?" Shi Qi said: "The little one doesn't dare to call the shots, and I'll come back to the adults after I ask my mother." Yang Sutian looked at the back of Shi Qi leaving, he was a little emotional, the master's words in the folk have always been true, but no one has found out.

After Shi Qi told Yang Sutian's thoughts to Dao Zhen, Dao Zhen said: "He is the master of Yang Cheng who poured the soup last time, the father of the son surnamed Yang, last time in the temple, he did not appear in Niu Lixin's house, if you go with him and come back to Sichuan, it is not easy to meet his son." Shi Qi said: "Teacher Su said that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it is better to read countless people than to travel 10,000 miles." I want to follow Lord Yang into Beijing, I can not only travel thousands of miles, but also meet countless people, which will be a good thing for me to take exams and become an official in the future. Besides, after I came back, I thought it would not be easy to leave, and if I made excuses, I could take the opportunity to walk away. Dao Zhen thought about it and thought it made sense, he asked: "You are back, close to your mother, this matter is up to her, now I will accompany you over to ask?" ”

When they arrived at the courtyard of the fourth lady, after the two of them glanced at each other, they jumped into the high wall together, with the experience of the last time, Dao Zhen was worried that the fourth lady would take the initiative to open the door again, so he asked Shi Qi to call the door. It's really a step late, last time she could calculate the time, this time she opened the door before Shi Qi called. Shi Qi grabbed in front of Dao Zhen and hugged the fourth lady, she just hugged her warmly in a daze, only to find out that it was not a bald head, but her own son. The fourth lady was a little taller than Shi Qi, and after Shi Qi's head, she saw Dao Zhen outside the door, her face turned red, and Shi Qi said: "Mother, turn on the light, my master is also here." That's when she realized, yes, yes. No, the lights should be turned on.

The fourth lady looked Shi Qi up and down, and said to Daozhen: "My son has grown taller, I found out just now that he has a lot of strength, isn't he haggard as you said?" Last time you said that his physical strength had dropped, it was terrible that I was worried to death. Dao Zhen thought of the nervousness he had here last time, and then looked at the fourth lady, the woman under the lamp was excited, which made him even more excited, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and exhaled in with the strong fragrance of women.

Daozhen said: "I also found that he has adjusted well recently, I brought him here to tell you that there is a father of the deputy envoy of Sichuan Jiedu, and he found that your son is a good seedling in the temple, and now Ouyang Ximu is changing, and he needs talent support, he wants to bring him into the capital, let him experience the outside world, and by the way, let Shi Qi and Prime Minister Ouyang have a relationship first, so as to facilitate future introductions." Do you think you can go? Shi Qi asked me, I don't think it's far from you, let him ask for your opinion. ”

The fourth lady said: "I am a woman, who has seen the outside world, you are the master, listen to you." To be able to meet the prime minister, this is a blessing in the previous life, if it were me, of course, I would not let go of such an opportunity, but I have to be careful when I go out, I heard that the Houmen is as deep as the sea, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is much deeper than the ordinary Houmen. When Daozhen told the Fourth Lady that he would accompany him as well, the Fourth Lady thought it was better to go. Shi Qi wanted to tell the fourth lady several times that he had married Jiang Xianglian, but when he thought of his declining physique, and then thought of those moving nights, his face was redder than his mother, and he chose to shut up.

The fourth lady hasn't seen Shi Qi for a long time, she told Shi Qi, and she also told Dao Zhen to listen, now Shi Songshan is much better to her mother, the old man lives in the temple, basically does not come back, and when he comes back, Songshan does not let him into his yard. Of course, she wouldn't say that Changfeng was Shi Songshan's son, and it was impossible to tell Shi Qi that it was because she didn't obey Shi Songshan first, which caused Shi Songshan to treat their mother badly. Daozhen asked: "Shi Songshan is getting older day by day, and he has more experience in managing the family, so he will be more at ease with the previous celebrities in front of the master, and the future should be better." Shi Qi will be able to participate in the examination next year, if you win, your family's life will be smooth in the future, and your fourth wife will have a complete merit.

Hearing that she could achieve consummation, the fourth lady thought of Niu Lixin's use of strength against herself, coupled with her strong desire to be true in front of her after her life was warm now, she turned her fiery gaze to the distance. No matter how good the life is, it is impossible to exchange it for a spare room at night, only those who have guarded it can realize that no one likes what merit is, it is just a sentence word in helplessness, and it has no positive meaning for life.

When Shi Qi was about to leave, the fourth lady glanced at Dao Zhen and stopped talking, of course she couldn't leave Dao Zhen alone, there was no reason for her to hide from her son and have an evening conversation with a man. Dao Zhen didn't look back, he jumped lightly, much easier than last time, he was worried that he would be impulsive again, but now he knows that with the constraints of external conditions like Shi Qi, the agitation in his heart will not reach the peak.

The way up the mountain seemed to be much slower than usual, Shi Qi was thinking about what he would see after going out, and Dao Zhen was reminiscing about the burning gaze of the fourth lady. When he arrived at the temple, Shi Qi went to bed early, originally Daozhen still wanted to find a chance to turn back, but he looked at the sky too late, and it was too obvious to go back, he touched the head of his long hair, and comforted himself: There is time in the future, although he is no longer young, but the words of the fourth lady are obvious, she is no longer waiting for the master, Daozhen can often see the old man in the temple, there are not a few days, the fate of the fourth lady in the future should be related to him Daozhen.

Coming in the morning, Shi Qi took out his jade flute, he came to Mei Yaoming's residence, and asked him to listen to his flute again, the last time he was taken away by the officials in Qingshi Town, he was also worried about the flute buried in the granary. Mei Yaoming asked Shi Qi to play relaxedly, and just after blowing for a while, Shi Caishuang came in to stop him, she told Shi Qi that the child felt uncomfortable and asked him to go up to the top of the mountain to blow. Shi Qi felt strange, Mei Yaoming also felt strange, this rhythm was taught by him to Shi Qi, there had never been such a situation before, but Shi Qi blew it out, and he couldn't stand it on the kang. When he asked Shi Qi to hand over the flute to him to play, but there was no effect of Shi Qi's blowing, Shi Caishuang told him that the child did not feel uncomfortable.

It's not the first time, Shi Qi realized that the flute has a mystery, he had heard Mei Yaoming say before that this flute was given to their Mei family by a master outside the world, so that they could pass it on. Because the flute always brought disaster to their family, he thought that he was not worthy, so he transferred him to the fourth lady, he wanted the big family to be able to hold it, the flute actually had this effect, and he only now realized that this could be a weapon. Shi Qi followed Shi Caishuang's advice, and really reached the top of the mountain, just like the last time, many animals and birds were shocked into the distance, and he himself did not have a trace of uneasiness and discomfort. He sat down and thought about it, but still couldn't think of a reason, Shi Qi arrived at the temple, Yang Sutian and they had already gotten up, and heard that his mother agreed to let him enter Beijing, Yang Sutian smiled and asked his entourage to make a military uniform for Shi Qi.

Yun Chi asked Dao Zhen to find an excuse not to follow him, just let Shi Qi help him pay attention to Ouyang Ximu's situation, he had already said that his surname was Liu, there were too many masters in Ouyang Ximu's family, in case someone ran into Dao Zhen and recognized him, there might be something uncontrollable. Dao Zhen thought about it and thought it made sense, so he called Shi Qi aside and told him that he must pay attention everywhere, don't talk nonsense, watch more, and listen more. Dao Zhen and Yang Sutian said: "Lord Yang, last night the little one had nothing to do in the temple and took a hexagram, the hexagram is not good, you may not have heard Li Gongzi say, I used to rely on fortune-telling to run the rivers and lakes." The little one believes this, and he doesn't dare to walk with you, for fear that the adult will be unlucky. Yang Sutian is the most taboo about this, as soon as he heard Dao really say this, no matter how good the conditions are, Yang Sutian doesn't want to bring it.

Yang Sutian said: "Since you used to be a fortune teller, you must have a way to crack it, and when the limelight passes, I will take you back to Sichuan when I come back." Saying that, he said goodbye to the monk and took Shi Qi on the road, Shi Qi didn't bring anything else, and carefully put the flute on his body, Yang Sutian took the official road of fast horses, and arrived in the capital in less than a month.

Ouyang Ximu saw his old friend again, he said: "It can also be explained in the letter, but I am old and miss my old friend, so I let you run, I know that the Sichuan you govern is now calm, stay with me for a few more days, let me relax, and accompany you for a while." Change is not a good job, I am too tired, it's not that there are few helpers, it's that there are not many people who can help, they can be like you, and I can save a lot of worry about the peace and prosperity of one party. My dogs, thanks to the emperor's great kindness, have already taken on a heavy responsibility, but I am not very worried about the situation of their governance, think about it, or want to ask you to be the governor of the emperor again if you have energy, the focus is on my three sons. With that, he took out the holy decree and told Yang Sutian that he did not help him invite Shang Fang Sword, fearing that Lord Yang would be angry and let him lose his son.

Yang Sutian said: "But the defense of Sichuan Province is not a trivial matter, and my son also worries me, I can't let the border defense of the country be lost in the hands of the Yang family." Ouyang Ximu said: "Don't worry, you are a civilian official, no matter how careless I am, I can't rest assured that you will run a party's military department alone, you have never set up a temperance envoy there, it is I know that you are not a person under the people, in order to let you give full play to your talent for management." I have always had an arrangement, and you have never lacked a full-time festival envoy, once there is something at the border, the festival will naturally appear in time, and you don't have to worry about it. Don't blame me, your brother hasn't come out for so many years, I don't doubt your loyalty to the emperor, but I don't have a bottom on your defense management, you are here, I can't just give your son a small errand, I may not do it properly, please understand, I am the prime minister, and I am responsible for the overall affairs. ”

It is said that the prime minister can sail in his belly, but now Yang Sutian understands that his heart is not like the sea, but his heart is as careful as hemp, and he still thinks that he has been working hard and doesn't want the prime minister to worry. It turned out that he had been swimming naked, and there was more than one eye around him, but fortunately he didn't make a mistake, otherwise he might no longer have the opportunity to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, he didn't break out in a cold sweat, but felt a strong chill.
