Chapter 112: Drawing the sword and looking around, I was at a loss
Nalan Feiya also proposed to guess the lantern riddle, let each of them solve the problem, the rest guessed, and those who did not win were punished for drinking.
The two apprentices apologized and let Professor Nalan ask the question first, but Nalan Feiya asked Dugu Xinci to come first.
Dugu smiled kindly, but was not humble, and asked a question casually:
"Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not,
It is like foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, which are neither domestic animals nor wild animals.
There are poems, there are words, there are also Analects,
The east, west, north and south are blurred, although it is a short product, it is also a wonderful article. ”
Guess two words, and kill everyone in seconds.
Nalan Feiya suddenly felt bad, and directly complained that it was too difficult to solve the question, and the two apprentices also racked their brains, and finally admitted defeat.
"I'm not coming," Nalan Feiya muttered.
"So-and-so has eaten well, little junior brother, so-and-so to watch the lanterns" Quan Yiquan also stretched his waist, and he was not even interested in asking the answer to the riddle.
Even upstairs, you don't need to go downstairs to watch the lights, you can see the panoramic view of the calyx downstairs square by leaning on the trunk.
In the center of the square, there is a five-height flower pile, and the sheds are lively around the mountain. At the highest point, there is a crane, with a Danshu in its mouth, which is a branch that starts a fire, and rises to extract a cold light from the mountain law, and drills straight through the edge of the bullfight. Then a watermelon cannon burst out in the middle, and all the characters were in the air, and the thunder was all blazing! The color lotus boat, the moon is bright, one by one, like a golden lamp scattering the blue stars; Purple grapes, thousands of trees, like Li beads upside down crystal curtain foil. Overlord whip, loud everywhere; Ground rats, strung around human clothes. Qiongzhan jade platform, the end of the rotation is good-looking; The golden moth and silver cicada are ingenious and difficult to move. The eight immortals hold longevity, each showing their magical powers; The Seven Saints subjugate demons, and the whole body is fire. Yellow smoke, green smoke, shrouded in thousands of piles of dew; Tight lotus, slow lotus, brilliant competition for ten brocade. A zhang chrysanthemum and smoke orchid opposite, fire pear flowers together on the ground peach for spring. Towers and palaces, there is no majestic momentum in an instant; The village drums seem to be the sound of joy. The merchant bears the burden, and the upper and lower flames are bright; Bao's old car burst into pieces. The five ghosts are judging, and they are scorched and hideous; Ambush on all sides, horses to people gallop without victory. In the end, it took a lot of heart, only to end up with the fire extinguished and turned into ashes!
The two looked down on it with great interest, but Nalan Feiya forced Dugu Xinci to tell the riddle.
"Give a reward and say" Dugu Xinci let him twist his arms and pull his flesh, which is to take the opportunity to blackmail.
"If you say it, you'll be rewarded." Nalan Feiya does not follow.
"Give a fragrant kiss and say" Dugu is merciful to death, and endures the soreness caused by the tender flesh of his arm.
"It's boring, I'm going to see the lights" Nalan Feiya wanted to capture the old man, but Dugu Xinci retreated and told the mystery in her ear.
The four of them were enjoying themselves, and suddenly one of them shouted, "This is a forbidden place, you are frolicking here, is there a law?" ”
Dugu Xinci saw the figure of Feng Yuanyi, the general manager of Lijingmen, through the window lattice.
"I'm waiting for the chief manager to send a will," Dugu Xinci replied angrily.
"The saint is detaining you everywhere, let's go with a certain person" Feng Yuanyi didn't talk nonsense.
"Don't stop eating" Dugu Xinci muttered, but got up, "Xiaoya, come when you go"
Nalan Feiya said, "Accompany you"
Dugu Xinci looked at Feng Yuanyi, and Feng Yuanyi smiled and said, "The saint must be very happy to see the Phoenix Princess."
"Okay, you wait here to watch the fireworks first, and then someone will come to find you," Dugu Xinci said to Quan Yiquan.
Quan Yiquan nodded, and Dugu Xinci turned over the window again, and when he was settled, Nalan Feiya had already held his arm.
Feng Yuanyi was speechless, who are these people? Do you need to open the window to attend a royal banquet?
Feng Yuan walked the way, and he didn't need to go to the lobby on the second floor, and went directly to the third floor from the side stairs.
The third floor of the Calyx Xianghui Building is still wide, and there are corridors around it.
The building is still full of purple robes, with a few white robes and a few monks.
Dugu Xinci raised his eyes and saw that most of them knew him, the five ministers, a few who participated in political affairs, including his boss Yin Li Yuanhong of Jingzhao Mansion, and several generals of the Sixteen Guards, such as Cheng Boxian Pei Min and others.
The monk is Master Kukai of Qinglong Temple, and the Taoist has the Qingfeng Taoist of Jianfu Temple, and the tiger Zhong Licuo, who is missing today, is also present.
"I heard that you went to play in the forbidden area?" When the sage met, he asked, he was sitting next to a large case, and on the side were Yao Chong and the five ministers.
"Ah, the saint is only concerned with the affairs of the state, what is he doing to pay attention to these small sections?" Dugu Xinci immediately hit a rake.
"Hmph, sharp teeth" The sage didn't bother to blame anymore, and when he saw Nalan Feiya following him, he smiled and said, "Little phoenix, go to the queen to play, there is something wrong with this kid."
After Nalan Fei Ya gave a salute, she went to the side of the queen, and the queen was sitting next to a table, she moved her body and motioned for Nalan Fei Ya to sit down beside her.
The queen was accompanied by the four concubines.
Dugu Xinci watched Nalan Feiya sit down, then picked up the wine jug from a eunuch's plate standing next to him and began to pour wine for the saint.
"I wish the saint a long life and a happy Lantern Festival" Dugu Xinci also picked up a wine cup, poured the wine and drank it all.
"Thou canst speak" The sage smiled and drank victoriously, and Dugu was kind and poured wine with him again.
"Yao Shaobao, happy Lantern Festival" Dugu Xinci poured wine and toasted Yao Chong.
"Song Xianggong, happy Lantern Festival" Dugu Xinci poured wine for Song Jing again.
"Zhang Xianggong, happy Lantern Festival" Dugu Xinci poured wine for Zhang Ziweiling.
"You can't keep saying this, huh? A new word? Zhang said that Ziweiling's poems were lost to Dugu Xinci by Yao Yi, the county magistrate of Chang'an County, last night, and he had the intention to make things difficult.
"Then I wish Zhang Xianggong to show his majesty again, and sing songs every night" Dugu Xin laughed, everyone was happy, Zhang said and scolded you, this kid, and said what he thought.
Dugu Xinci is thick-skinned, and he toasts the other ministers without paying attention to it, and no one is to pick on the joy of the Lantern Festival anymore.
After waiting for a few ministers, on the side is the seat of the prince of the county led by the king of Dugu County, Ning Wang Xianxue, Wang Yeshen, Wang Chengyi, Qi Wang Fan and others sit high, Dugu Xinci smiled and toasted and then went to the political seat.
Li Yuanhong and Yanwei sat together for several political discussions, and Dugu Xinci continued to pour wine and toast one by one.
In the past, it was the six Shangshu seats of Yang Lingwei, the secretary of the ministry, and Yan Wei, the secretary of the ministry, was participating in the political seat, Dugu Xinci sighed secretly, and he also poured wine and toasted one by one, and the cup was exhausted, without leaking at all.
The scholars finished, followed by Jiuqing and the waiters, and the sage said, "A table and a glass of wine are fine"
Dugu is kind and kind, and none of the dozen or so seats on the entire third floor have fallen.
When Cheng Bo presented their military generals' seat, they were forced to drink a few more glasses, and Dugu Xinci had no complaints.
Finally, when he came to the monk's seat, he saw that Wei Yixiao, the president of the Warlock Association, was also on the list, but he ignored him with a cold face, and there were two old men in brocade robes, one was Fuzuo Xuande of Wannian County, and the other would not be the rich king of Chang'an County, right?
Master Kukai of Qinglong Temple persuaded with a smile, "Eat some dishes first to suppress the wine"
"What are you drinking? Sugar? That's good, I also taste it" Dugu Xinci picked up Zhong Li's tea cup and drank it all, but said, "It's tasteless."
"This is boiled water," Zhong Li said with a smile.
"Then so-and-so will use wine to toast all the mages and real people, happy Lantern Festival" Dugu Xinci still raised the wine cup and drank it all.
"Everyone, eat and drink well," Dugu Xinci then pulled his legs to the queen's seat.
"I wish the queen and all of you a happy Lantern Festival" Dugu Xinci said the happiness of the Lantern Festival one or twenty times, and it didn't take much effort to say it again?
"How can you drink like this? Drinking too much wine hurts her body," Nalan Feiya distressedly handed over a porcelain plate with a few side dishes on it.
Dugu Xinci is not polite, and he will solve it in three or two bites.
The queen looked at the two with a smile, and several concubines also had different expressions.
After the concubine's banquet, Dugu Xinci's toasting journey ended, and this time it was smooth sailing.
Dugu Xinci had the heart to sit down beside Nalan Feiya, but the sage beckoned her, called her over, and asked the eunuch to bring a set of dishes and let her sit down next to her.
Dugu Xinci looked at the different eyes of the ministers around him, so he took the dishes and stood behind the saint.
"Let you sit and sit, and stand and let some and so raise your head and talk to you?" The saint scolded.
Dugu Xinci couldn't, so he sat down cross-legged respectfully.
The sage's left hand was Yao Chong, and this right hand was supposed to be the seat of the crown prince Yan Ying, and the prince was driven down the second floor by the sage to greet the other ministers.
"Call you up, there are a few things for you to do" The sage didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.
The sage commanded, don't dare to start with" Dugu Xinci first put on a correct posture, knowing that shouting himself to come up will definitely not have a good feast.
"First thing, well, Brother Ye, you come on" The sage looked at Xue Wang Yanye on the side.
"Come, Far Eastern Hou is hardworking, a certain drink with you first" King Xue is also bold, drink it all in one gulp, speaking of which he is also the pastor of Jingzhao Mansion, Dugu Xinci, the top boss of the 10,000-year-old county order, is just a remote leader, not a director.
"King Xue, please instruct if you have something," Dugu Xinci toasted again.
"This, I talked to the sage just now, and I intended to find a suitable Langjun for the little girl," Xue Wang said with a smile.
"That's a great thing," Dugu Xinci said with a smile, knowing that he was also in the handsome servant Shi Wei Bin Wei Erlang. "Who does not rejoice in the will of a saint? I don't know which Langjun King Xue has a crush on? ”
"Hehe, it's Wei Bin's imperial history who is good friends with you" King Xue didn't hide it.
"Wei Erlang has no marriage match, nor does he have a favorite woman, he is really a good son-in-law" Dugu Xinci did not hesitate to betray his friend.
"That's good, that's good, it's just that today's marriage pays attention to a love match, and I'm afraid that Wei Erlang will be resistant, so I will first say that I know with the Hou of the Far East"
"What's the contradiction? A certain immediately said to Wei Erlang to go, bring it up, if there is a push, en... Let the saint dismiss his official position," Dugu Xinci said without blushing.
"Alas, what are you anxious about? How can anyone be dismissed if he does not agree to marriage? "The saint is dissatisfied.
"Then go and probe first?" Dugu Xinci wants to slip away.
"Don't be in a hurry," King Xue said with a smile, "I want the little girl to meet with her first, get to know each other, and if you are interested, it will become a good thing, and you can be friends if you don't have any intention."
"Why bother?" Dugu Xinci suddenly felt that he had become a bustard-like character.
"This is a happy event, and the trouble point is also a good story," the saint smiled.
"Cheng, take the county lord to meet Wei Erlang" Dugu Xin wanted to get up.
"What are you anxious about? "The saint stretched out his hand and held him down.
"Oh, please command, the saint," Dugu sat down quietly and compassionately.
"The second thing, well, the Caoqu lottery you came up with is very prosperous, and nearly 100,000 yuan of lottery money has been collected yesterday" The saint received the report is also a surprise, 100,000 yuan, compared to the Caoqu tax in Zhuwannian County.
"Isn't there another raffle? 100,000? The balance of seventy or eighty thousand is not a problem," Dugu Xinci also smiled.
"How can there be a lottery? Is it okay to leave all 100,000 pieces? Yao Chong interjected.
"If there is no second lottery, it would be good to have 350,000 yuan" Zhang said that Xianggong immediately retorted, and he did a little understanding after hearing about it yesterday.
"Credit, ah, if the lottery has no credit, it is waste paper," Dugu sighed.
The sage nodded, "The nature that should be given will be given, what a certain and you said is that at the beginning, it was clear that it was a success with Wannian County, and now Wannian County is full of money in the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and the repair of this canal is quite expensive, so... So can you hand it over to the Ministry of Households?"
"Well, the sage means that Wannian County doesn't have to count on the division of this Caoqu lottery?" Dugu Xinci looked very hurt.
"Well, you don't have to count on this, and the current focus of the repair of the Cao Canal should be placed in the west of the city and the north of the Forbidden Garden, and the dredging of you and Wen Yu in Guangyuntan can be suspended?"
"Uh, this can also be postponed?" Dugu is kind and confused.
"The household department is now financially stretched, and the Guangyun pond is quite expensive, and the household department has no money to disburse," Song Jing explained.
"That is to say, the taxes and fees collected by a certain Wannian County also belong to the Ministry of Households? What about donations? Dugu Xinci suppressed his anger and asked.
"Donate? It can also be beneficial to repair Caoqu Wannian County in other places, and this can also be used in other places" Song Jing's black face was a little red, and he felt that it was a little excessive.
"The appropriation of the household department is not wanted, the donation of silver is still returned to a certain one, and the Caoqu tax in Wannian County has been collected by the household department, but how about Guangyuntan and Wannian County dredging?" Dugu Xinci rubbed his eyebrows, turned his face and shouted, "Today is Shangyuan Day, Song Xianggong doesn't want to lift the table, right?" ”
"Isn't this a discussion with you? What are you looking for? The saint hurried to appease.
"Hmm, can Dugu Ming Mansion have the confidence to undertake the heavy task of repairing Guangyun Lake with the power of a county?" Zhang Shuo also hurriedly interjected.
"You don't need to worry about it," Dugu Xinci sneered.
"If this is the case, the donation will be returned to Wannian County, but the people from the Ministry of Industry need to withdraw it" Song Jing thought about it and felt that the donation was not worth it compared to Zhu Zi lifting the table on the spot.
"The people in the Ministry of Industry are withdrawn, who are they looking for to do things? There is also the planning of the surrounding area of Guangyuntan that needs to be arranged by Wannian County, and Jingzhao Mansion and the Six Ministries are not allowed to intervene,"
"The setting of the regular position is also planned by you?" Song Jing was dissatisfied.
"Changping and Yicang can be planned by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to be handed over to the construction of Wannian County, and after the construction is completed, it will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Management, and Wannian County will not interfere" Dugu Xinci thought about it and made concessions.
"The same goes for the warehouse in the inner library," Dugu added.
The sage looked at Song Jing, and Song Jing sighed and nodded.
"You can think about it, the difficulty of dredging Guangyuntan is greater than that of several other places combined, you can't work the people and hurt the money, and exploit the merchants and people of Wannian County" The sage gave a reminder.
"If you don't make decisions with the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes" Dugu Xin proudly declared, sweet potatoes have now been planted in many places in Datang, and they are no strangers.
"Dugu County has such pride, then Guangyuntan will be handed over to Wannian County, and Wen Yuyuan does not need to withdraw" Song Jing also took advantage of the situation to conclude, just curious, how will this huge cost of repair be raised.
"Although Guangyun Pond is dilapidated, there are also ships passing through, and if the repair is delayed for too long, it is better to continue," Yao Chong said suddenly on the side.
Dugu Xinci slowly picked up a glass of wine on the table, drank it all, paused the wine cup on the table, and said loudly, "Today, two years later, I invite you to drink in the upper lake of Guangyun Pond, if there is disharmony, I hope that the saint will be loyal to a certain person, and go to Guangyun Lake to burn some paper money."
"Why do you bother?" The saint was stunned.
"Why should you? If Guangyuntan can not be restored to the grand state of the founding of the country in two years, a certain Dugu Xinci will live in the world, and it will be a waste of food," Dugu Xinci said coldly.
All the ministers are comforted that there is no need for this, and the entire third floor of the Calyx Xianghui Building is noisy, and there are many discussions, such as the East Market.
Suddenly, Nalan Feiya stood up, bowed down and said, "Sage, the Marquis of the Far East has a poem tonight, please allow a certain person to read it and comment on it."
Saint's jaw, Nalan Feiya's beautiful voice sounded.
"The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars.
I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.
There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea.
And a glass of wine before his death, why should he be famous for a thousand years after his death? ”
All the ministers were silent, and the entire third floor of the Calyx Xianghui Building was dead silent.
The gold bottle sake bucket is ten thousand, and the jade plate is shy and ten thousand dollars.
I couldn't eat when I stopped throwing my cup, and I was at a loss when I drew my sword and looked around.
