At ten o'clock in the evening, the rainstorm stopped at the beginning, and the glazed tile eaves were still dripping with residual rain.

There is a lamp outside the gate of Dugu Immortal's Mansion.

At this time, from the corner of the west, the sound of Dugu Xingjia's carriage returning home was faintly heard.

When the carriage reached the main gate, it stopped, and the attendants inside got out of the carriage first, and paved the way.

I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the car, walking down without slowness or hurry, still holding the history book that he had not finished reading today.

The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and the facial features are upright and peugeot.

And the attendant called Anren: "Second son, please!"

The two of them walked to the main gate one after the other, while the driver drove to the side gate to the east.

Xingjia saw that there was no one outside the gate: "Why did the guards rest so early today?"

"Presumably, it was the National Teacher Immortal who forgave the rainstorm today, so he let them rest first, right?"

"That's fine. The middle father has always been like this. ”

So Anren stepped forward and opened the door,

I only heard a "pop", and something fell out of the crack in the door.

An Ren looked at it, there seemed to be a few words on it, although he was a waiter, he had never gone to school,

I don't like to read, but because the master I serve is a bookworm, I can know a few words subtly.

"Second son, there's something here,

Looks like it's for you!"

"What is it? Take it with me. ”

An Ren picked up the pat ash and handed it over, Xingjia saw that the yellowed paper was wrapped in a ball like a book,

I saw that it read: "Send Dugu Xingjia Gongzi"

After taking it, he looked puzzled: "Why did this thing fall out of the crack in the door?"

An Ren was also puzzled: "Xiao An doesn't know, but as soon as he opened the door just now,

It fell out of it, could it be someone's child's prank? ”

Xingjia looked at it carefully: "Probably not."

An Ren saw that it was getting late, and a cold wind blew: "Second son,

Let's go back to the house first, the fairy daughter in the house knows a little. ”

"That's it!"

And he took it in his arms.

The two of them entered the fairy mansion one after the other, and after entering, the attendants and the little fairy daughters all the way, some of them were holding the fruit plates that had been cleaned up.

Some watered the flowers, some cleaned the courtyard, but whenever they saw him, they all saluted respectfully: "Greetings to the second son!"

The red candle and Xiaowen in the room heard the movement, and hurriedly went out to greet them.

Xiaowen stepped forward very excitedly: "Second son, you are finally back, and today you are stumbling on business again.

Tiangong is not beautiful, it rained so hard just now, so we waited anxiously, for fear that this kid Anren would snub you! ”

An Ren only scratched his head on the side.

Red Candle hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, don't lose your manners, the second son has just come back,

It's so cold, and you haven't even entered the house yet, so you're crackling and talking!"

Xingjia smiled and said, "It's okay!"

"Second son, don't speak for this little girl, she's the kind of person who is spoiled by you on weekdays!"

Xiaowen was not convinced, Red Candle ignored her at all, and hurriedly said to Xingjia: "Second son, hurry up and go into the inner room, I'm afraid I won't catch a cold!"

Xingjia entered the door and went to his study.

His study was simple and elegant, the pale cyan veil drooped naturally, and a square sandalwood square table in front of him,

There is no decoration, there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones neatly placed on it, and there are several historical books neatly placed.

At the back, there are two large bookshelves, symmetrical to the left and right, and each book is neatly categorized at a glance.

The white walls are also neatly and orderly hung with calligraphy and paintings, full of the fragrance of books, mixed with a faint fragrance...

The room is lit with bluegrass and cold plum fragrance. . .

As soon as he came in and sat down, Red Candle hurriedly put a light gray mink coat on him: "Second son,

It's cold today, and there's no heat in the house, Xiaowen's girl, I'll let her make you tea!"

Xingjia smiled and returned: "You and Xiaowen are gone!"

Red Candle hurriedly said: "Second son, how many times have you said it, they are all your own girls, why are you so polite?"

When I was a child, I was like this, and now that I am an immortal official, you are still like this!"

Xingjia returned with a smile: "I'm used to it, I can't change it!"

Red Candle also smiled: "Also, this is all thanks to our national master Immortal Master who has disciplined you well since childhood!"

Hearing the national teacher immortal master, Xingjia suddenly remembered: "I almost forgot, I haven't gone to say hello to my middle father!"

As she was talking, Xiaowen made tea from outside the door and brought it up: "Second son, the fairy lord has ordered it today,

He was catching up with his old friends in the backyard, and he didn't want anyone to disturb him.

Say you don't have to go and greet him when you come back! So that he can be clean for himself!"

After that, he walked up to him, poured his tea, and handed him the teacup.

His teacup is a special orchid celadon cup, which was a sixteenth birthday gift made by his friend Qi Carving Wanchun himself.

This lacquer carving is pure is the imperial painting fairy official, all the jewelry and clothing and other supplies used by the saint on weekdays,

He designed it all by himself, and he did most of it himself.

The lacquer carving clan was originally a court painter for generations, and it was passed down from generation to generation.

The entire Shengxian Palace was designed and completed after four generations.

Juan Chun is the new head, and in addition, all the big and small events in the palace are also drawn by him.

He and Xingjia complement each other, one writes with a pen, and the other paints with a pen, and together they record the secret history of the immortals!

And this tea is also a unique orchid spirit tea of the fairy family, which is made by brewing and drying this orchid spirit grass and its petals and stamens.

The taste is slightly astringent and sweet, sweet and fragrant, and this tea is also light green, which is very consistent with Xingjia's temperament.

Xingjia picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and slowly put down the teacup.

said: "In this case, then you have to ask my middle father for me.

Tell him that his nephew is better to obey his fate, and that he can't go to him in person to greet him, and he hopes that his middle father will forgive his sins! ”

Red Candle smiled: "That's it, the words of the second son, I must have brought it for you."

Xiaowen, this girl, really can't speak, the fairy master doesn't want people to disturb his purity,

He is sympathetic to the second son's busy business, and specially asked me to bring you a message.

No matter how busy you are with business, you have to pay attention to your body, he can always worry about you! ”

Xingjia got up and bowed respectfully: "My nephew respectfully obeys my father's words, and my nephew also wishes my father to be young and beautiful forever!"

Please bring my heart to the red candle!"

Red Candle and Xiaowen hurriedly stepped forward to help him,

Red Candle hurriedly said: "Why did the second son give us such a big gift,

If you say it, we don't dare to slack off, and we will definitely bring it!"

Xingjia smiled knowingly, Red Candle helped him sit down, and then turned to Xiaowen and said, "Xiaowen, it's so cold today,

The floor heating in the child's room is out of heat, and you are still stunned here.

Hurry up and tell the little ones to add charcoal to the cellar!"

Xiaowen then remembered: "Oh, I almost forgot, I'll go now!"

He staggered out a little.

"This girl always forgets things like this, when will she grow up!"

Xingjia smiled and said, "Let her go!"

Red Candle helps him grind ink,

While saying: "Second son, you spoil her."

Xingjia only smiled and did not speak.

"I'll bring you to your room as usual for dinner today!"

Xingjia was making annotations,

He replied, "That's great!" You go first!"

"Zun Er Gongzi!"

He stepped back and closed the door.

Only then did he suddenly stop writing, take out the contents of the door from his bosom, and carefully open it.

I saw that it was a thick yellowed ancient book,

It reads: "The Secret History of the Former Dynasty!"

Xingjia was shocked when she saw it,

He said to himself: "This, is this the ten years of history that I have been looking for inexplicably missing from the previous dynasty!"

Why did it suddenly appear in the crack of my door? Who the hell sent this?"

His hand trembled uncontrollably, caused by excessive excitement,

He cautiously turned the first page again, only to see a line of small red letters on it:

Hide things in your heart, and be ashamed of the immortals!

This is obviously written in blood, and Xingjia is even more stunned.

Although I don't know who it is, I already admire it from the bottom of my heart!

He can already conclude that this must be left by the historian of the previous dynasty who risked his life!

He hurriedly closed the book, and instantly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders doubled.

And he was also anxious to know, who was the person who delivered the book?

And at this moment, the red candle walked in with dinner,

When I put it on the table, I saw that he seemed to be a little distracted,

Then he called him softly: "Second son, what's wrong with you?"

And he saw the yellowed book on his desk,

A puzzled face: "Second son, what is this?"

Xingjia came back to her senses and asked her, "I was just about to ask you?" Is there anyone in the house today? ”

Red Candle replied, "Yes, an old friend of the Immortal Lord."

Xingjia hurriedly said, "No, I mean, is there anyone who came to me?"

Only then did Red Candle suddenly remember: "Oh, second son, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about it,

Originally, you told you as soon as you returned home, but someone did come to the house to find you today.

As a result, you weren't there at the time, and you were driven away by Xiaowen's girl who didn't understand the rules!"

Xingjia hurriedly asked, "How can you say it?"

Red Candle also hurriedly replied: "Childe doesn't know, that person is a beggar uncle,

said that there was something important to tell you, but Xiaowen's girl was adamant that he was here to ask for money.

I was about to ask him, but I was forcibly dragged away by Xiaowen!"

Xingjia frowned: "There is such a thing?"

Red Candle blamed herself: "It's all my fault for this, I didn't discipline that girl well on weekdays, and I missed your big thing!"

"I don't mean to blame you, it's just that you still remember the old man!"

"Naturally remember!"

Xingjia breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, tell the guards guarding the door, all strangers who come to the door,

Especially the beggars will notify you to go out and identify it as soon as possible.

If it's that old man, you must keep people for me!

If you come to ask for money, give it to them, and you can't be lazy anymore!"

"Red Candle must obey the words of the second son! Second son, you better eat dinner first,

You're going to stay up late tonight, and you can't afford to eat your body!"

He hurriedly said, "Good!"

quickly finished dinner, and Red Candle saw that it was rare for him to eat so actively today.

With joy in his heart, he quickly took out a handkerchief to help him dry the residual rice at the corner of his mouth.

After eating, Red Candle packed up the dishes and went out.

When she was gone, he opened it very sacred and solemnly, wanting to find out.

What happened in the decade when the previous dynasty was missing......
