(Girls' Literature) Because of the fraud case in the Nanqiu Autumn Examination, Mingzhu was reprimanded in front of Kangxi, and returned home angrily, just Xu Qianxue and Yu Guozhu, in the warm pavilion in the backyard of his house, while playing chess, while waiting for him. Xu Qianxue saw Mingzhu coming, so he got up and said with a smile: "Mingxiang, you're back, come and take a look." Yu Guozhu is also a scholar, I asked his six sons to bet on the host of a play, and he regretted three steps. Well, I can't afford to mess with him, a miser! Yu Guozhu grinned and said, "Who told you to come to the God of Wealth?" ”

"Play?" Mingzhu snorted and asked coldly, "What play?" ”

"Good show! The capital is a sensation! The "Peach Blossom Fan" of the Confucian family, the writing and the rhetoric are very good. ”

The fire that Mingzhu had been holding back for a long time suddenly broke out, and he forgot all about the decency of the prime minister and the demeanor of the minister. He strode forward and kicked over the table, and the chessboard on the table flipped in the air and fell to the ground, like a "rain of chess", and the black and white children clanked and withdrew all over the house.

Mingzhu never gets angry in officialdom on weekdays, and is a famous "laughing pearl". At this moment, he suddenly became so hideous and rude, not only Xu Qianxue, Yu Guozhu, but even the family members who had been waiting all day were all stunned. Mingzhu scolded: "Wow, you still have the leisure to play chess here." Listen to the play! Within half a month, let's all go to the rope maker alley to see Wang Shizhen, squat in the prison temple, and eat the dead! ”

Yu Guozhu saw that Mingzhu was angry, and hurriedly smiled: "Ming Xiang! It's a big thing, we will destroy the nine clans, whether we should kill or chop, you have to explain it to us! ”

"Hmph, do you want me to say? I don't know what you've done in Nanfu! You're too daring! In the words of your Xu Qianxue's bullshit, you 'East Window Incident'! At this time, Ge Li was in charge, and Nian Qianyao led the troops to seal the tribute courtyard, and he was checking room by room. Boiling soup and pouring mice, not a single one can escape. This time, if you don't kill ten or eight feudal officials, it's strange if you don't get rid of one or two hundred officials! I lifted your chessboard just now, and now the emperor even lifted the dragon case! Just wait and see the show! ”

Hearing Mingzhu's words, Xu Qianxue and Yu Guozhu froze to the ground as if they had been struck by lightning, their faces like ashes. Half a day, Xu Qian Xuecai said: "Ming Xiang, what does this matter have to do with our Beijing officials?" He Ge Li relied on the power of Suo Xiang, instigated the governor of Jiangnan to come out and make trouble, and planted it on us again. If you want to talk about taking bribes, do they make less money? ”

Of course, Mingzhu knows this in her heart. When he saw that until now, Xu Qianxue still didn't want to admit it, and he was so angry that his legs and stomach turned around. But after thinking about it, he Mingzhu intervened in Nanfu's affairs after all, the top three were all done according to his own hints, and the handwritten book fell into Xu Qianxue's hands, once he shook it out and killed his head, he was the first. At this moment, at the moment of life and death, we must be in the same boat, and we can't fight in the nest. Thinking of this, Mingzhu sighed and said: "The Holy Lord is determined to handle this case, and it is difficult to escape the catastrophe, and the more he intercedes, the more he will be unstoppable." Fortunately, Guozhu and Ge Li are good friends, and they hold Ge Li's handle in their hands. In this way, you write a letter to Ge Li, and then take some blood money out, and let him take care of it, and don't involve the two of you. The rest of the people don't care. ”

Speaking of this, Mingzhu suddenly felt a chill in her heart. He suddenly realized that after Suo Etu went out again, Kangxi treated him far less intimate and confidant than in the past - such a big matter used to be discussed with him first, but today he shook out without even saying hello, and he was caught off guard. Thinking of this, he was confused, and sat dumbfounded.

Yu Guozhu and Xu Qianxue didn't really understand the seriousness of the situation until this time, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, begging Mingzhu: "Zhongtang, you have to try to get through this for us!" ”

Mingzhu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hmph, let me help you tide over the difficulties, no way!" As soon as this case came out, I had to be suspected of recusal. If you beg me, you might as well beg that stinky scholar who begs for food! At this point, he had an idea, "Ahh You go to Gao Shiqi immediately, break 20,000 silver, and buy this monkey cub. Right now, he is the only one who can still speak in front of the saint. ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to ask Gao Shiqi, the two of them were silent. Yu Guozhu's official rank is two levels higher than Gao Shiqi, and he already feels wronged when he begs him, and he has to bribe, and his face is a little unbearable, and he muttered: "What a big appetite, get 20,000!" Xu Qianxue is a university scholar, and he feels that his legs are noble, so he doesn't want to go, so he blushes and doesn't say anything.

Mingzhu knew their thoughts, and sneered and said, "Hmph, I said, you put the stinky shelf!" Since Gao Shiqi has entered the upper study, he is the prime minister of the court, but I am afraid that he will not accept the silver you send! You'll have to exchange the money for antiques and get his two bad calligraphy and paintings! As long as this monkey cub says a few words for you, everything will be fine! After saying that, he shouted outside: "Huang Mingyin, Huang Mingyin!" ”

"The minions are here!" Huang Mingyin crept in cautiously, and said to Qian'er: "Xiangye......"

At this moment, Mingzhu had regained his composure and said lightly: "Don't perform this play in our mansion, send it to Gao Xiangye's mansion." October 26 was the day of his wedding, and he was in good hands. Let's just say that I said it, the excellent drama, the excellent team, maybe the emperor will also be happy - also, send my "Eagle View" by Song Huizong, as well as the pair of Xuande furnaces, saying that it is to congratulate the high school on the marriage. Do you understand? ”

"Ahh Oh - got it. Stab! ”

Mingzhu is right, Gao Shiqi never collects cash. What inkstones, ancient ink, Song paper, Han tiles, cloisonne, and Jun kiln magnets you gave him, but he received them correctly. These things are elegant, but they don't fall into the reputation of bribery. Gao Shiqi sat firmly in the mansion, and received antiques worth 40,000 silver from Mingzhu, Xu Qianxue and Yu Guozhu, and set up a big play, and he also "laughed" it. I wrote a few banners to Xu Qianxue and Yu Guozhu, and drew a picture and returned it to Mingzhu.

He dared to take over this big case, but he was not afraid of being killed. From Kangxi's hesitation, he knew that Kangxi was hesitant and angry and scolded, which was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. At present, Kangxi is all about the military, only seeking the stability of the country, and he will never blatantly kill the minister regardless of the overall situation. In that case, it may lead to a situation in which everyone in the courtiers is in danger and the political situation is unstable. This kind of situation is something Kangxi never wants to see.

However, this is not a good thing to do. If he goes to talk about it, it is self-defeating, and he shows his feet, it is not fun. After thinking about it, he finally came up with a way, and he wanted to take the opportunity of getting married the day after tomorrow to get married. But after thinking about it, although Kangxi said that he would come to marry for himself, but when the emperor spoke, in major matters, it was Chrysostom Yuyan, saying one thing and saying another, and what about small things, it was just casual talk, and it might have been forgotten long ago. Gao Shiqi was a little afraid that if he really forgot, or that something couldn't come that day, wouldn't it be all smashed?

For the convenience of Aunt Su Mala, Kangxi listened to Gao Shiqi's "doctor's advice" and built a villa for her in Changchun Garden. Gao Shiqi immediately ordered the sedan chair to go to meet Aunt Su Mala. The villa is located in the garden under the head of the cow peak, Gao Shiqi checked the card into the forbidden garden, came in a roundabout way, but saw that the peak is full of pine and bamboo Bodhi, vine Luo juniper, Bisensen, green oil, cypress hanging frost, pine tower full of ground, both quiet and not as depressed as the Zhongcui Palace Buddhist Temple. Gao Shiqi walked slowly, and saw Su Malagu and a woman playing chess from a distance. Several nuns gathered around to watch the battle. Gao Shiqi often comes and goes, but he recognizes that the woman's name is Kong Sizhen, Kong Sizhen saw Gao Shiqi coming in with a large roll of paper, and said with a smile: "Gao Langzhong is here!" It's going to make this Buddha land impure again! Last time I had a fever, thank you for the medicine! ”

"Sigege, you are telling jokes, treating the symptoms of cold and heat, but what a little skill of carving insects!" Gao Shiqi laughed back at Kong Sizhen's words, and looked at Su Malagu's complexion and said, "I look at the master's illness much better. Quiet and empty, cultivating virtue and self-cultivation, this is the essence of Buddhism. The temperament brought by the master congenitally, what kind of disease will be cured, unlike us laypeople, even if we survive for a lifetime, we can't get a positive result! ”

Kong Sizhen couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said, "Okay, you Gao Shiqi, you are a clever mouth." The official has made such a big deal, and he still comes here to shoot horses, we don't have an official to reward you! ”

Su Malagu and Gao Shiqi are already very familiar, although they feel that others are a little slippery, but they have no talent to learn, and they are very talkative, and they talk like a river, and they have a kind of elegance, so they have a good impression of him. Listening to Gao Shiqi's greeting, Su Malagu had a smile on her face, let go of her hand, and said, "Gao Jushi, please sit on the futon over there-Qiyun, serve tea!" ”

A little nun promised to come out with tea, Gao Shiqi sat down while taking the tea, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!" Thank you, Master, for the tea! ”

Su Malagu asked, "What kind of wind blew you here as a busy man?" What are you carrying such a large roll of paper? ”

"Back to the master's words, the students have come here to offer ugliness. The last time the master said my words, he forgot them when he went back. The day before yesterday, I suddenly remembered it, and I wrote it while I was drinking, but I was afraid of the eyes of the difficult master. Kong Sizhen had already heard that Gao Shiqi had a good calligraphy, so he got up and took it over and showed it on the case.

Calligraphy and painting are three in total, a painting in the middle hall is not pine, not bamboo, not plum, nor is it a unicorn, deer and crane and other rare birds, only a round of bright moon in the sky, the color halo around the moon, a flood clear pond under the head, a green ping, accompanied by a lonely towering lotus, a bee with a thin waist fluttering its wings next to the flower. A pair of banners, dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, written more spiritually. When Su Malagu saw it, she couldn't help but tremble. I saw that it read:

Kasumi is the soul of the clouds

Bees are flower spirits

Friends who have listened to the first volume of this book still remember that this is a couplet written by Wu Ciyou to Su Malagu back then. How could he, Gao Shiqi, know, and how could he write this couplet and send it?

At this time, Su Malagu was really full of troubles, and she didn't know where she was and where her heart was. Gao Shiqi was even more nervous, his heart was on his throat, for fear that this fart would be slapped on the hooves.

"Oh, master, it's not well written, it's much worse than Mr. Wu. However, according to Gao's tuixin, the master's illness was actually caused by couplets. If you hang it on the Buddha hall all the time, it will be better for your body than if you keep it in your heart. ”

Su Malagu was stunned, came back to her senses, and felt that Gao Shiqi's words were not unreasonable. Holding the paper in both hands, he smiled and said: "Alas, you Gao Shiqi is a famous calligrapher in the court, and you have written all the couplets in the palace, who dares to say that this word is not good?" But I don't have anything to repay you for this favor. Today's world is not what it used to be, and it's truly amazing. Those shameless officials, whether round or flat, take them out, and honor and slap your courtiers who go to the study. I'm a monk, and I've accepted your favor, but you don't expect me to do anything for you! ”

Su Malagu was so energetic, and when she spoke, she was so mean and sharp, Gao Shiqi couldn't help but be taken aback. He never thought that this bodhisattva, who was usually silent and cold-faced, would be so spicy! How did he know that Kangxi's Aunt Su Mala nine years ago was like this. Gao Shiqi was stunned, and hurriedly smiled: "That's that!" I never take money from people, and I have nothing to do with the master. The master received the calligraphy and painting is my face, and Gao and his friends have bragging capital again. Oh, I almost forgot, there have been a few new groups of actors in Jingshi, and they have made up good drama texts, and I heard that Lord Huchen is very appreciative of them. The will pass through the door the day after tomorrow. In the next piece, I sincerely want to invite the master to go over and relax. I wonder if the master is in this mood? If Sigege is also willing to appreciate his face, maybe he can move the emperor. Sure enough, even if the ancestors of the high family are virtuous, it is not in vain that Fang Lan has a heart of worship! ”

Aunt Su Mala was still looking at the calligraphy and painting, and said, "I have never watched a play, the emperor asked me to go to Changyin Pavilion to watch a play, and I am too lazy to go!" It's nothing more than Feiyan, Yuhuan, Zichai, Peony, or Fengshen, Journey to the West, Baolongtu Breaking Yin Cao at night, what's so good? You didn't move the emperor, but you actually brought calligraphy and paintings to me to hit the wooden clock, right? ”

Kong Sizhen was bored in the palace for a long time, but wanted to go out for a walk, so he smiled and said: "Master Huizhen, you are still 'all in vain', such a delicate and clear mind, you are suspicious of everything, and it is difficult to become a Buddha in your life!" If you go, I want to accompany you, I haven't seen your smiling face for many years! ”

Gao Shiqi blinked, and said with a smile: "Master, if you are a man and you are not a monk, people like Shiqi really have to go back to their hometown to study for ten years!" ――Just now, you just happened to be right! I didn't mean that! You think, with Shiqi's ability, face, where can you move the emperor! However, this play is not an ordinary script. Huchen said in the letter that Mr. Lian Wu read the draft back then, and praised it repeatedly, and he was so happy that he danced with his hands! ”

Gao Shiqi had an idea and moved out of the god Wu Ciyou, and Aunt Su Mala was really moved: "Oh? What is the play? ”

Gao Shiqi's eyes lit up, and he came to the spirit, ""Peach Blossom Fan"! Shandong genius Kong Shangren's proud handwriting has been written for 20 years! tells the rise and fall of the former Ming generation, the joys and sorrows of Hou Chaozong and Li Xiangjun. The poems, songs, and mood in it are all quite outstanding! I invited the emperor not all for the sake of knotting, as soon as the emperor came, he promised to marry me; Second, the style of the drama is very positive, although it is said to have the origin of sacred learning, it is useful to watch such a loving, emotional, eventful, and disciplined drama in your spare time. ”

Aunt Su Mala listened to him very much, thinking that he had always treated her very carefully, and invited her to watch the play sincerely, this face could not be ignored: "You go back and listen to Xin'er." Si Gege is the adopted daughter of Lafayette, I accompanied her to invite Lafayette and the emperor, please move is your creation, please don't complain if you don't move. ”

The Admiralty hit, and the loud was abnormal. The faces of these two women were surprisingly large. The next day, He Guizhu passed down the edict of the Empress Dowager and ordered Gao Shiqi to prepare for the pass. He Guizhu also brought 20 taels of gold and 30 pieces of Ning silk that the Empress Dowager had given to Fang Lan. Ordered to study on the 26th and have a day off. Gao Shiqi knew that it was Kong Sizhen and Su Malagu's idea to go to the study for a holiday, and since the Empress Dowager and the emperor were coming, Suo Etu, Mingzhu, Xiong Cixu, Tang Bin, Li Guangdi, and the editors of the Hanlin Academy would also have fun. Such a big decent. Who has ever undertaken such a big pomp and circumstance in the Manchu Dynasty?
