Chapter 503: Broken Jade
Sometimes no matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably be calculated, and Shen Shuyan, who didn't know that he had already carried a bag of explosives, put the jade Ruyi in his arms and went out of the palace...... His current rank and position are not allowed to stay in the palace for long, and he cannot come in again without being summoned after going out.
When I arrived at the gate of Xiyuan, I saw Xu Wei waiting there with a smile on his face, and said, "Come with me, everyone is waiting to catch you up." Silence followed him into the carriage.
Xu Wei had already seen Shen Mo's chest bulging, and as soon as he got in the car, he couldn't wait to ask: "How about it, what good things have Your Majesty rewarded you, take it out and take a look?" ”
Shen Mo pouted and said: "It's just a 'scratcher', we call it 'don't ask for people', and Yanjing dialect is called 'old man music'." "The original prototype of Ruyi was just a kind of tickling thing used by the folk, and its name was called: 'As far as the people want'. When they were silent, they learned that the "Guide to Sound and Meaning" said: "Those who wish to do so are also claws and canes of the ancients, or bone horns and bamboo wood cut into finger claws, and the handle can be three feet long, or the spine is itchy, and the hand is not reached, so it is used to scratch the claws, as people will." This kind of 'tickling' tool is called 'not asking for people' in the south, and the northerners are called 'old man music', and it was very popular during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people, if you don't have a scratch in your hand, you are embarrassed to greet people.
Later, some of the claw-shaped ruyi heads gradually became auspicious clouds and ganoderma lucidum-shaped, diluting the practical surname, and the materials also changed from wood and metal to gold, silver and jade, becoming a symbol of power and wealth.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, tickling is tickling, wishful thinking is wishful, except that the reader knows the origin of the two, the common people will not associate it, silently say so, but it is hypocritical.
"Tickle? No way? Xu Wei opened his mouth wide, saying that he didn't believe anything, so he reached out to Shen Mo's chest and grabbed it.
Shen Mo stretched out his hand to block him and said, "What are you doing, I am not interested in men." ”
"I'm interested in your thing." Xu Wei said with a smile, he had already grabbed the handle and took it out of Shen Mo's arms, and when he saw that it was a jade Ruyi with a yellow and clear body, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and said, "It's actually this thing?" ”
Shen Mo asked while tidying up the clothes that he had scratched, "What's wrong with this thing?" ”
Xu Wei shook his head loudly while stroking the Ruyi: "This is not an ordinary Ruyi, this is the treasure of Yuxi Palace!" As he spoke, he pointed to the surface of wishful thinking and said, "There is a saying: 'Everyone in the world knows that mutton fat is good, but how do you know that topaz is even more difficult to find.'" Look at the color of this wish, it is a rare emperor topaz in ancient and modern times! I can't find a second piece in the whole Ouchi, such a big, yellow jade! This is still the Chenghua years, the Western Regions paid tribute to Emperor Xianzong, and later fell into the hands of today's saints, he cherished this treasure that the previous emperors had played with, and it has been placed on the imperial case of the palace, and has become the treasure of the town case and the town palace...... It has always been coveted by His Royal Highness King Jing. ”
"King Jing wants it too?" Shen Mo suddenly realized that this jade ruyi seemed to be more than just a reward.
"That's, and don't look at King Yu as if he is honest and obedient, in fact, he wants it too!" Xu Wei nodded and said: "In the eyes of King Yujing, this wishful thinking is not wishful, but a national treasure of succession!" Whoever it is given to will be the prince of a country and the future emperor! ”
Shen Mo's face suddenly showed a look of coyness and said, "I don't think I'm qualified......"
Xu Wei was amused by his pretentious posture, and scolded with a smile: "You really dare to think that even if this thing really has that effect, it is still in the hands of the two princes, and now in our hands, even if it is tickled, it is too hard, and it is useless." ”
Of course, Shen Mo knew that what he had just said was just a joke, and after laughing, he said with a straight face: "According to you, this kind of thing should belong to the exclusive property of the royal family, then it should not be rewarded to his subordinates, and now that the emperor has given it to me, what does it mean?" ”
"I also think it's incredible," Xu Wei grabbed his back with that wishful thinking, feeling very uncomfortable and uncomfortable, so he withdrew his hand and said, "The emperor must know that his two sons value this thing...... He has always been scheming, and today he rewarded this national treasure to others, isn't it to warn the two highnesses to stop fighting openly and secretly? ”
Shen Mo shook his head and said: "You have been by the emperor's side all day, but you haven't seen him through - in my opinion, our emperor is a life that is endless, and he throws this thing out of the palace, not to calm things down, but to fear that the world will not be chaotic!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Wei played with the Ruyi and asked.
"What else do you need to say?" Shen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Where do you see a dog that doesn't eat?" Now this yellow and clear one can definitely attract all the vicious dogs in the capital......"
Hearing the silent metaphor, Xu Weiden immediately turned into a pinch, and almost threw this 'Huang Chengcheng one' out, with a 'why are you so dirty' expression.
Seeing that he was pinching the jade Ruyi with only two fingers, Shen Mo was shocked into a cold sweat and said: "Be careful...... Who knew that people were unlucky, drinking cold water and stuffing their teeth, before his words fell, he suddenly felt a violent shock in the carriage, and was thrown up from his seat, and before he could figure out what was going on, he fell headfirst to the ground.
His forehead slammed against the hard floor, his eyes flashed with stars, his ears roared, and he was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't figure out what was happening. I don't know when, Tie Zhu jumped into the car and pinched his people hard, only to wake Shen Mo up from his frightened state, and quickly looked down at Xu Wei, only to see him lying on the floor with a painful face, obviously not lightly.
Pointing at Xu Wei, he hissed silently: "Quickly help him up." ”
Xu Wei waved his hand with all his strength and said, "Don't, my waist seems to be broken, and I will be paralyzed if I move around." ”
"Then hurry up and call the doctor......" said silently, "Hit the bone." ”
"Oh," Tie Zhu immediately ordered, and then said to Shen Mo with a strange face: "There is a woman who suddenly rushed out from the side of the road to stop the car, if it weren't for the coachman being an old man, I'm afraid it would have overturned." ”
"Where's the woman?" Shen Mo touched his forehead, it hurt hotly, but fortunately it didn't break the skin.
After thinking for a while, Tie Zhu said in a muffled voice: "One of your ...... Old friend. ”
"The deceased?" Shen Mo was surprised: "Who the hell is it?" Don't sell it! ”
"Yes......" Tie Zhu was about to say when he heard a sharp but still pleasant voice outside: "Silence, you come out for me!" Then came the shouts of his guards: "You can't go over, or we're going to be welcome!" ”
The silent surname is good, and when he heard it, he frowned and said, "Lu Xiu? "Lu Xiuzhi, the sister of Lu Ji, was arrested in Zhouzhuang Town, Suzhou Prefecture in the 36th year of Jiajing on suspicion of colluding with the Japanese Invaders, indulging in prices, organizing illegal armed forces and other crimes, and then escorted to Jinyiwei Prison, and then there was no news...... Of course, this is the official statement, in fact, it was Lu Bing who wanted to send Lu Xiu to Yanjing silently, saying that he wanted to discipline her well, and Shen Mo couldn't help but give Lu Bing face, so he gave her to Zhu Shisan, but now it seems that Lu Bing's so-called discipline has a really average effect, no, there is going to be a fight outside.
"Stop!" Shen Mo opened the car door, revealing a serious face and said: "This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the majestic place, what kind of system is noisy and noisy." As soon as he was reprimanded, his guards immediately retreated, not daring to cause trouble for the adults again.
Lu Xiu had already set up a posture, and when he saw that the other party had withdrawn, he had to stand still, glaring angrily and silently: "What about my brother?" She is naturally dressed in men's clothes, but she can't hide her tall and graceful body, at least in the eyes of those who know her details.
"It's a big girl in her twenties, and she's still so rude." Shen Mo looked at the crowd of onlookers who gathered more and more, and sighed: "This is not the place to talk, I will go to the house tomorrow to visit my senior brother, and I will tell you when the time comes." It was said that Shen's skills were becoming more and more profound, and it was obvious that she was taking advantage of Lu Ji, but she couldn't refute it, so she had to say in a muffled voice: "This is what you said." Then he turned and walked away.
Looking at her departing back, Shen Mo couldn't help but shake his head, he suddenly felt that this girl was really pitiful, and the so-called hateful people also had pitiful, that's what it meant.
Not seeing the expected excitement, the crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed, and silently whispered: "Go on." Then he sat back in the carriage and saw Xu Wenchang, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, had already sat up.
"You're not afraid of being paralyzed?" Shen Mo smiled: "I really thought you hurt your spine just now." As he spoke, he saw Xu Wei's sallow face, and couldn't help but be concerned: "What's wrong, I'm injured internally?" ”
Xu Wei wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, so he had to whisper with difficulty: "I don't care......"
"It doesn't matter if it's all like this?" Shen Mo said: "Don't talk yet, the doctor will be here later." ”
"What I'm going to say ......," Xu Wei whispered.
"Don't be in a hurry at this time," Shen Mo shook his head and said: "Don't give up with this breath, you must hold on, there will be time in the future, you can say whatever you want." He thought that Xu Wei was going to explain the future, and it seemed that he had indeed fallen hard.
"It's not...... I'm fine. Xu Wei couldn't cry or laugh, but his expression was more inclined to cry: "I'll tell you something, you must hold on." ”
Silent eyes widened suddenly, his waist straightened, and his teeth chattered a little: "You... To tell me... What the? "He has already seen that Xu Wei himself is fine, so what is this guy doing like this? It won't be ...... Silent didn't dare to think any further.
"Actually... That one... In fact... The problem is......" Faced with a silent and sensitive reaction, Xu Wei, who has always been skillful, became incoherent: "So, you must resist it." ”
"I'll give you a lung!" Silent said with a pair of eyes as if he was about to eat someone: "Say, what's the matter?!" ”
Xu Wei's lips moved a few times, but he really couldn't say it, so he had to take his heart sideways, and slowly wrapped his right hand hidden behind his back in front of him, while closing his eyes tightly, looking like he was being slaughtered.
Silently forgot to breathe, looked at Xu Wei's hand blankly, turned to the front from behind, and saw the jade Ruyi. At a glance, it was still complete, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Scared me, what's wrong." "There aren't many things in this world that can make him afraid, but if this jade ruyi is broken, it will be one of them.
As he spoke, Shen Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed Ruyi's head, and said in his heart: "This thing is too bad, it's better to keep it close to you." But unexpectedly, Xu Wei didn't let go.
"Let go," Shen Mo urged.
Xu Wei looked at him with a pitiful face, and under Shen Mo's forced gaze, he had to loosen his mouth slightly, Shen Mo felt a light in his hand, and said with a smile: "I was scared to death just now, I thought this thing was ......" Halfway through his words, he couldn't say a word, because he saw that his hand was just a wishful head, but the handle and tail were not in his hand.
"Where's the handle?" Shen asked dumbfoundedly.
"In this ......" Xu Wei escaped from a child who had made a mistake, stretched out his left hand in front of him, opened his palm, and a three-inch-long topaz segment appeared in front of Shen Mo.
"Tail ......" asked silently, his eyes out of focus, and he lost his mind.
"Here......" Xu Wei stretched out his right hand again, and it was another piece of topaz, which was the tail of the jade Ruyi.
Shen Mo was completely stupid.
Seeing him like this, Xu Wei was even more chaotic, took the Ruyi head of Shen Mo, and connected the three paragraphs, which constituted a complete Ruyi, only to hear him say incoherently: "Go back and stick with paste, just sticky......"
was knocked to the ground by Shen Mo, and before Xu Wei could react, he grabbed his collar as if he was going to eat someone. The silent and angry voice changed tone: "Why don't you just kill me with a knife?" ”
Xu Wei let him grasp it, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't mean to, the car shook violently, I was caught off guard, so I dropped this thing to the ground, and then the back was firmly pressed up, and it was immediately pressed into three sections, and the whole process was beyond my control......
"Still quibbling!" Shen Mo said angrily: "If you hold it well, how can you miss it and fall?" ”
Xu Wei said aggrievedly: "If you don't say 'Huang Chengcheng', I won't become pinched all of a sudden." ”
Shen Mo saw that he had also been bypassed, and immediately forgave him, of course, more importantly, he forgave himself, and said angrily: "It's all because of that Lu Xiu, she is simply a dead star, every time she appears, she is not good, and she is more powerful every time," said and gritted his teeth angrily: "I really should have killed her in the first place!" ”
You officials must be strange, Shen Mo has never been a calculating, how can he break the jade Ruyi and jump like thunder, shouting and shouting to kill, because in this era, the things given by the emperor are all of political significance, and ordinary objects have to be preserved and supported, not to mention this kind of significant and meaningful national treasure, and now it is broken, it is indeed no different from killing Shen Mo...... Because if he is known and makes some articles, he will indeed be able to behead in the West Market and distribute the whole family.
Along the way, Shen was scolding and scolding, and when he was about to arrive at the restaurant, he calmed down, and looked at Xu Wei helplessly: "What kind of treasure did Your Majesty give me?" ”
Xu Wei also said in a very low voice: "Golden topaz is wishful." ”
"Where are you now?" Shen Mo asked in a cold voice.
"Here...... Oh no," Xu Wei's mind was quite good, and in a blink of an eye, he understood the meaning of silence, and said, "Of course, such a valuable thing has to be sent home for preservation." ”
"Very well, that's all." Silence looked at him with a dark face, then opened the car door and went down. Xu Wei followed in despair, and the two entered the restaurant, and in the box on the third floor, they saw the brothers except for Sun Yan in Nanjing.
At this time, Shen Mo had already adjusted his mood, so that people couldn't see the clues, but Xu Wei's face was still sallow, as if he had a serious illness.
Before everyone knew what was going on, they laughed and said, "It's late, it's late, and you'll be fined three glasses of wine." ”
In this case, Shen Mo really had no intention of grinding, sat down and drank three glasses in a row, and then the banquet began.
Needless to say, Tao Dalin, who was sitting at the opposite table with Xu Wei, said strangely: "Old Xu, what's wrong with you, can't you digest what you eat?" ”
Xu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "No, I just had a deep talk with Humble Yan, and I am deeply reviewing myself." ”
Everyone was in a hurry, but fortunately, the interest was not on his side, and he quickly turned back to Shen Mo and said, "What reward did the face saint get today?" ”
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth twitched, there were two major gains today, one was to protect Wang Shizhen's father, and the other was to obtain the priceless treasure Topaz Ruyi, but when someone asked, he didn't dare to say anything. Because once the former is known, he will become a thorn in Yan Shifan's side and a thorn in his flesh, although he is not afraid, he really doesn't want to take this risk; Not to mention the latter, he wanted to eat the wishful heart...... "No, didn't you get anything?" Everyone said in disbelief: "Xu Wei also said that day, there is a big prize waiting for you." ”
"Yes...... 'em ' silent gaze drifted to Xu Wei, Xu Wei received it, and hurriedly shook his spirit and said: "Yes, Yes, Your Majesty gave that topaz Ruyi to Humble Yan." ”
"Oh......" A slight gasp sounded, obviously driven by His Royal Highness King Jing, there was no one in Yanjing City who didn't know about this thing.
