I chatted with Eunuch Li for a short time.

Cao Yan turned his head to look at the location of the outer door of the prison, and a smile suddenly hung on his face.

I saw Lin Yiru, who had a serious face and a little worry, and was led in by Xiang Yixin.

"Yiru, you're here! Hehe, I've been a little back lately, and I've been grounded by His Majesty again. Cao Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, with a little relaxation, he wanted to give Lin Yiru a feeling that he was very relaxed.

Lin Yueru looked Cao Yan up and down, and found that Cao Yan was not injured as they said, so she relieved herself: "It's okay if the husband is fine." ”

"Miss Yiru, hello!" Eunuch Li on the side bowed slightly to Lin Yiru with a little respect.

"It's troublesome for the chief to take care of the concubine." Lin Yiru returned the salute to Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li hurriedly staggered around to avoid it: "Don't remember such a big gift as Miss Ru, rest assured that the contemptible people will definitely do their best." ”

subsequently

Eunuch Li and Xiang Yixin left the shade of the tree for some reason, leaving Lin Yiru and Cao Yan here.

See the other two avoid.

Lin Yiru opened her mouth and asked, "How should I tell her when Yueru comes tomorrow?" ”

She is not good at small talk, she always talks directly.

Cao Yan patted his head and felt a little painful.

"So be it! Let everyone hide it, and let Luo Fatzi go out and hide for a few days, and say that I have something to do with him. ”

"What about the decoration of the storefront?"

"Get some pen and paper in the evening, I'll draw some sketches, and let them come and get them tomorrow, if they really don't understand, they can come to the prison and ask me, but I don't think it's a big problem in a few days."

"Well, that's okay, family affairs, you don't have to worry, I'll watch."

"Thank you for your hard work, I'm going to trouble you the day after tomorrow when I pick up those female students."

The time for the submission of the imperial examination is four o'clock in the afternoon, and it takes three hours to walk, although the sky is quite bright at seven o'clock in the evening of July, but judging from the recent encounters, this ghost Fan Lou Sanssouci Cave is a tumor, and if you don't pay attention, you will have a demon moth.

"I know."

"By the way, pay attention when you go out to play recently, there have been a lot of messy people in this Jingshi recently."

"I will."

"Oh, and the beds in those three houses, let them arrange them first, don't let Yueru come over and they don't even have a place to sleep."

"Hmm!"

"Don't let the contents of the twenty wagons leak out, and no one is allowed to approach the carriage casually......"

"Hmm!"

Cao Yan was babbling to Lin Yiru about everything he could think of.

After talking for a long time, Cao Yan smiled and looked at Lin Yiru, who was staring at him gently: "Do you feel like I'm a little verbose?" ”

Lin Yiru shook her head lightly.

Cao Yan stretched out his hand and hugged Lin Yiru into his arms: "Don't be careful of me, if I want to leave, no one can trap me, if you encounter danger in the future, you can leave quickly with them, don't follow the protagonists I said who want to make people hit the wall." ”

Cao Yan told them a lot of heroines on TV, let them go, they didn't listen to the things that stayed to make trouble, so that many people in the village broke several stone tables and kicked down several big trees.

"Hmm!" Lin Yiru buried the head on Cao Yan's shoulder, wrapped her hands around Cao Yan's waist and murmured in a low voice.

"Alright, let's go back! It's not getting early. Cao Yan patted her on the shoulder, and then hugged her hard, making trouble for this little thing for a day.

"Well, be careful, husband!"

……

I took a shower and changed into a refreshing outfit.

Cao Yan returned to the small courtyard in front of the cell.

Eunuch Li has already asked people to set the table.

A little eunuch silently touched the ink on the side.

On the other side, paper is laid out.

On the other side, several little eunuchs were boiling water and making tea.

is worthy of being a person who can be in charge, and this mind is more thoughtful than others.

"I heard that Mr. likes to write books at night, when he has nothing to do, is there anything missing from such preparations?" Eunuch Li asked with a smile at Cao Yan who came over.

Every time Cao Yan gave Xiang Yixin those agricultural books, Xiang Yixin would copy a copy and send it to the capital, so people who knew him well were no strangers to Cao Yan's habit of liking to write these things at night.

"Eunuch, you have a heart." Cao Yan looked at all this in front of him, is this here to go to prison? This is more comfortable than being at home, no wonder so many people in ancient times liked to be emperors.

"Hehe, it's good if Mr. likes it, but the contemptible person has an excessive request, I don't know if I can mention it?" When Eunuch Li said this, he was a little embarrassed.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, the eunuch."

"I'd like to ask Mr. to give me a pair of Mobao."

"This? I'm afraid that this word will not be on the table. ”

"Mr. is too modest, I'm afraid that Mr. doesn't know the words written to the invigilators of the Ministry of Rites, and he is being bought by many people in Beijing with a lot of money, right?" Eunuch Li smiled faintly.

"There is such a thing!" Cao Yan really hadn't heard anyone say it, and he hadn't been in Beijing for long, to be precise, he only came out to play for one night, and he was grounded.

"Hmm!" Eunuch Li nodded.

"What does the eunuch want?" Since others said so, and he was so respectful and caring for himself, it was inconvenient for Cao Yan to postpone such a trivial matter, and asked.

"Ask for a longevity word!"

"Oh, then I don't know if the eunuch will be old this year?" Cao Yan thought about it and spoke.

People in this era, some people with strong martial arts, look very young, Cao Yan is afraid that this Li Dajian has become a sunflower treasure book, a 9 or 19-year-old person, and when he wishes him a long life and a hundred years old, isn't that scolding?

Hearing Cao Yan's inquiry, Eunuch Li was a little proud: "Old, seven out of sixty." ”

Don't doubt that in this era, more than fifty years old is a bullish existence.

If you are sixty, you can't do anything about making a small mistake.

When it reaches a hundred, it can be reported to the court as auspicious.

The Qing Dynasty played four such banquets.

Invite people over the age of 65 to come to the capital to eat hot pot.

It is said that only 3 or 4,000 people came, so you can imagine how difficult it was to live in more than 60 years at that time, and now you are still studying 65 before you can retire.

Cao Yan listened to this age, nodded, and had a bottom in his heart.

"Then it's ugly!"

"Hurry up to 10,000 years of red rice paper and grind gold powder." Seeing Cao Yan's promise, Eunuch Li hurriedly shouted.

The person in front of him, he had heard more than once that he was the Star Monarch, and even his master, Her Majesty the Empress, believed it.

And judging from his heavy performance, he should also be the star king.

If you ask him to write the word for longevity, it will be like your own ancestral grave is smoking!

Suddenly, a large piece of red rice paper with a length and width of about one and a half meters was spread in front of Cao Yan, and all sides were pressed with paperweights.

The paperweight is a set of jade carved zodiac, which looks very round and smooth, and it can be seen that the owner must like it very much, and it should often be played with in his hand.

Cao Yan took a closer look, and touched a few times in the shape of a small tiger beside him.

When the little eunuch was grinding ink.

Cao Yan closed his eyes.

Covering his mouth, he groped his lower lip.

I thought carefully about how to lay out this word.

The crowd around them all held their breath and didn't dare to come out.

After a while.

The little eunuch who was grinding the ink stopped moving.

Ink to grind well.

Cao Yan seemed to be staring at him all the time.

At the same time as he stopped, he also opened his eyes.

From the pen stand on the side, I took out a brush that I used for daily life.

This made everyone watching puzzled.

How can such a small pen write a longevity character on such a large piece of paper?

But before they could think clearly, Cao Yan started writing.

The pen is engrossed, and the dragon and snake go.

One by one, the hollowed-out small longevity characters kept writing.

Gradually, a huge hollow longevity character was formed, and the whole word carried some elegant, such as in the fairyland, pleasing to the eye, fairy spirit.

Look at it, if the horse is free, the horse takes off into the air and leaves; It is like a dragon flying in the sky. From nothingness, and back to emptiness, I can't take my eyes off.

There was not a single sound around the half-ring.

Cao Yan took a closer look and felt okay.

He nodded and asked, "I don't know, is the eunuch satisfied?" ”

"Well deserved! Well deserved! Eunuch Li was very emotional, although he said this, but his eyes did not move away at all, staring at the word in front of him: "I don't know this word, does it have a name?" ”

"Hmmm! Hundred longevity map! Cao Yan said.

This is composed of 9 109 small longevity characters and that big longevity character, a total of 100 longevity characters.

As soon as Cao Yan's words fell, he wrote a hundred longevity pictures on the side, and Cao Yan gave it to Li Hongzhuang.

Li Hongzhuang is the name of Li Dajian.

"What a hundred longevity pictures, I really don't know how to thank Mr." Eunuch Li didn't use Cao Yan to explain the meaning of this word, obviously he should have seen the meaning of the name.

"The eunuch is polite, it's just a pair of words, and the eunuch can't be like this."

"Yes, come on, come to the brocade box." Eunuch Li gave an order to the little eunuch behind him, patted the little eunuch who was about to roll the letter, and personally stepped forward to carefully roll the letter.

Later, Li Dajian lived to be 100 years old without illness and disaster, and on his birthday when he turned one hundred and one, he slept on the bamboo bed in the afternoon and left with a smile.

For this character, his descendants made a big move, and it was rumored that it was this character, the blessing given, that allowed him to live for so long, which caused a sensation in the society at that time, and countless people asked for this pair of words with a lot of money.

Of course, that's for another story.
