Chapter 642

The splendid hall, the figure standing high above the public case, facing Xuanqi, is not full of majesty, but full of smiles, it stands to reason that the person sitting in front of Lord Situ is not the emperor, but just a young man, can he use this! But, then again, he had to do it, because only he knew in his heart what it was all for, and only he knew where everything he had now, including his net worth and life, came from, so he began to feel that he hadn't laughed enough.

Calm Xuanqi, smiling Lord Situ, each thinking about their hearts, of course, Xuanqi thought about it and didn't want to, but Lord Situ couldn't help but secretly think that although he was just following the order to test the young man in front of him, however, the topic can't be too difficult, stumped this young man is stumped the turtle old fairy, this is not good, not only is it not good, it is simply not fatal.

However, then again, going through the motions should also make the old immortal feel that he is doing something seriously, in view of this thought, this Lord Situ immediately closed his eyes and pondered, and then said slowly; "Virtuous nephew, look at me, I am not old and decrepit, I remember this sentence and forget that sentence, that's what, what, oh, yes, it's 'Ran Qi is in the position of the princes, I dare not say the joy of the game, the garden is so big,' what is written behind this?"

After Master Situ finished speaking, he shook his small head in makeup, Xuan Qi secretly laughed, this is the article he memorized last night, so he took it unhurriedly and replied; "'When the gentleman sees a guest again, what is the reason why the king will not return?' ”

Xuan Qi just said three sentences, Lord Situ applauded again and again, and then said; "Virtuous nephew, look at my memory, whose hand is this assignment from, and what is the name?"

Xuan Qi really wanted to say when he saw Lord Situ's appearance, you are too good at pretending, but he knows that this sentence must not be said, acting, you have to act like it, so he took it and replied very seriously; "Returning to my uncle, this is a sentence from Sima Xiangru's "Zi Xufu".

Hearing Xuanqi's answer, Lord Situ nodded and praised again and again, yes, yes, it is still a young man with a quick mind. In fact, this Lord Situ is not only not old, he is very young at all, and it seems that he is not a few years older than Xuan Qi when he looks closely, of course, Xuan Qi can still understand, people are high above the temple, so it is naturally better to look old.

At this time, looking at Xuanqi again, although he was praised by Lord Situ, he did not look complacent, but he still sat upright, humbly seeking advice, as if he was preparing to accept the following exams or teachings, seeing Xuanqi so humble, Lord Situ behind the public case seemed very satisfied, and couldn't help but look at Xuanqi again, and then said; "Why did Mr. Wu You, mentioned in "Zi Xuan Fu", answer Zi Xu's words like this?"

Hearing Lord Situ's question behind the public case, Xuan Qi secretly thought, this time Lord Situ really wanted to weigh his own weight, and also wanted to see the depth and breadth of his reading, of course, the most important thing is to know his critical thinking ability, as soon as he thought of this, where did Xuan Qi dare to slack off, and immediately replied; Reading carefully, it is not difficult to find that Mr. Wu You's answer to Zixu is inevitably suspicious of the Venerable and the prestige of Qi. He believed that the hunt of the King of Qi's 'Men in the Territory' was entirely out of enthusiasm for the envoys. That's why he went on to say, 'What is the name of boasting for entertainment!' This negates that King Qi has the intention of showing off. As for asking about the situation of Chu, in Mr. Wuyou's view, it is also an extremely friendly expression, "Those who ask whether there is a place in Chu are willing to hear the wind of a great country, and Mr. Wu will also talk about it." It's all well-intentioned. On the contrary, Zixu was too sensitive, misinterpreting the friendly reception as an open and secret struggle for power and strength.

It is precisely because of this that there is a further description of Mr. Wuyou, who unabashedly points out that Zixu's conversation has put him in a dilemma, so-called; 'In other words, it is the evil of Zhang Jun. In other words, it is a depraving of the faith. Zhang Jun is evil and hurts his own righteousness, and there is no one of the two,' which is probably what it means. ”

Xuan Qi re-uttered the words in the Turtle World booklet, and when he heard it, Lord Situ nodded again and again, looked at Xuan Qi and asked again; "In the past few days, I have heard the legend that Luoyang paper is expensive, I don't know what is going on?"

Regarding this question of Lord Situ, it was not written in the booklet of the turtle world, and Xuan Qi was inevitably a little anxious, but he couldn't show it, what should he do, that is, in the blink of an eye, he inadvertently opened the crystal eye, and in an instant, a blue light shot out of the main hall and went straight to the palace.

So Xuan Qi's mind immediately showed such a picture, a man in a dragon robe, reading an article called "Nagato Fu", the Fu is gorgeous, the content is moving, after the emperor read it, immediately went to visit Empress Chen, who had been beaten into the cold palace.

In the blink of an eye, how could Master Situ, as an ordinary man, see it, so when Xuan Qi was confident, he pretended to think again, lowered his head, and after a while, he said in a slurred voice; "This involves the inside story of the deep palace, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

It was Xuan Qi's words, which immediately shocked Lord Situ behind the opposite public case to stand up, walked quickly in front of Xuan Qi, took his hand and said; "Virtuous nephews don't have to worry, you and I are already like uncles and nephews, if you have something to say, whether it is the Great Inner Palace or the scoundrel in the market, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, I also listen to the road and have a long experience."

Seeing that this Lord Situ actually recognized him so much, Xuan Qi immediately filtered through the picture just now, and then asked; "How is Empress Chen doing recently?"

Hearing Xuanqi's words, Situ was startled at first, then stood up and walked to the outer hall, and after reading it, he came back and said to Xuanqi; "Because Empress Chen was too jealous, she had already been beaten into the cold palace by the emperor and never saw each other again."

Xuan Qi heard this, but stared at Lord Situ's eyes and said; "Otherwise, otherwise, it is for a while and that time, and now I am afraid that there has been a change, as for the cause, I might as well tell my uncle, in fact, it was Sima Xiangru's "Changmen Fu" that deeply touched the heart of today's saints, and now it must be that the saints have taken Empress Chen out."

"Ah, there is such a thing!" After Lord Situ was amazed, he returned to his high-backed Taishi chair.

Seeing this, Xuan Qi continued; "I think the reason why my uncle heard that Luoyang paper is expensive is on this piece of "Changmen Fu", presumably the literati and writers in Luoyang are now vying to copy this piece of "Changmen Fu", so the rice paper in the Luoyang paper shop was emptied, and the legend of Luoyang paper was naturally born."

"Well, it's reasonable, it's good, it's good!"

Hearing Lord Situ say such a thing, Xuan Qi thought secretly, it seems that the exam for me is over, but he still stood up, pretended to be sincerely afraid, and said; "Uncle has won the prize, passed the award."

"Where, where, I'm glad to have a nephew like you, let's make a long story short, since you are the old turtle fairy and the person recommended by the immortal who I can't say and don't dare to name, then I'm welcome, from today on, you are my own nephew, where do you and my uncle and nephew still use politeness, you are here for the official position, I just have a Linyuan county order here, you will go to office tomorrow, as for the recommendation and promotion of the central official, I will find someone to get it right, and I will send out the appointment document."

Xuan Qi really didn't expect that his words would win such a quick return from Lord Situ, and he didn't expect that Lord Situ would be so concerned about his own affairs, to the extent of being resolute.

In fact, this is really the case, after Lord Situ finished saying that I would send out the official document of appointment, he dragged it under the official case, and quietly walked in for a moment A person wearing a red official robe, that person came to Lord Situ, and after bowing, he saw Lord Situ whispering in his ear for a while, and then deliberately raised his voice and said; "Eight hundred miles expedited, sent to Songjiang Mansion overnight."

The man in the red official robe didn't straighten up until Master Situ finished speaking, bowed to Lord Situ, and then quietly retreated through a secret door behind Master Situ's chair.

After the official left, Lord Situ very leisurely picked up a delicate red porcelain cup placed on the top of the official case, lifted the lid, and instantly a fragrant breath reached Xuan Qi's nostrils, he couldn't help but secretly think that he must drink this kind of tea after he arrived, so he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the teacup in Lord Situ's hand, but unexpectedly, Xuan Qi's actions happened to be seen by Lord Situ who was holding a cup of water and taking a sip of tea.

So, after taking a sip of tea, Lord Situ introduced; "This kind of tea I drink, produced in the mountains and valleys, deep streams and secluded places, beside the stream flowing, called cactus tea, when I gave it to the turtle old fairy a few days ago, the old fairy said that he didn't like this kind of tea that was too fragrant, but I see that you seem to be very interested in this kind of tea, and when you leave, I will order someone to give you a pack."

Hearing Lord Situ's words, Xuan Qi immediately stood up, bowed and said; "Thank you, Uncle!"

When Xuan Qi sat down, he thought in his heart, no wonder he was able to sit in a high position below one person and above ten thousand people, but it turned out that his kung fu of observing words and emotions and paying attention to people's actions, and speculating on people's minds had reached the point of being superb, Xuan Qi was thinking about it, so he listened to Lord Situ say after sipping tea; "I might as well tell you, your predecessor Linyuan County Ling Sima Zongheng is not a thing, I wanted to ask him for the crime several times, but because Zhonglang will be a hindrance, I didn't do it, this time he disappeared for no reason, there must be something strange, so, the first thing you do after taking office is to find out whether that Sima Zongheng died because he offended the enemy, or if there is something else strange."
