Chapter 467: Faint Movement
As a Taoist doctor who was extremely trusted by Emperor Hongfu, Danyangzi's residence was limited to the imperial city, not only did he have a small eunuch to serve, but Emperor Hongfu also specially allowed him to choose a few Taoist children, and even a few sacrifices and prayers in the palace during the New Year, but it was not Danyangzi's turn to preside, and he naturally did not win many "senior" titles of national teachers, which shows that Emperor Hongfu is in restricting the authority of monks, and it is indeed the same.
Danyangzi also focuses on alchemy, but the elixirs he makes are all for self-consumption.
On this day, he looked at his face in front of the bronze mirror, and he felt that his complexion had recovered a little.
Suddenly, I saw a little eunuch enter, saying that there was a Mo Wendao chief begging him to hand over a message to come in, imploring Danyang Zhenren to leave the palace and see the old thing.
"How did this kid find the old way?" Danyangzi muttered in his heart, but he was still willing to go out of the palace to see the "old one", he didn't have many "old things" in this world, not to mention that he did have a relationship with Mo Wen, maybe it would affect his major events, and any opportunity must be seized.
Therefore, Aunt Chai's house once again ushered in such a distinguished guest as Danyangzi, or Jiao Xing came to open the door, this time she didn't ask more, and let her body go: "The Taoist is here, don't ask Xiaodao has been waiting for a long time." ”
Why does it sound like he and Mo Wen Kid have become first-class goods? Danyangzi was deeply concerned about this misunderstanding, and only after hesitating did he decide to order: "It's better for the little lady to stay away from the capital sooner." ”
However, Jiao Xing only felt a gust of wind blowing in her ears.
Mo Wen put on a brand-new robe today, he looked very radiant at a glance, and when he saw Danyangzi's figure under the corridor, he hated to be unable to change his tail and wagged forward, Danyangzi hurriedly let go, for fear of being dripped on his body by Mo Wen's saliva, and the word "disgust" was written on his face.
As a rule of thumb, this is a precursor to borrowing money.
"I didn't want the immortal chief to come out of the palace to see him in person."
"I don't leave the palace, can you enter the gate of the imperial city?" Danyangzi rolled her eyes unceremoniously.
"Immortal Chief, please hurry up." Mo asked, and then his white eyes and smile became more and more flattering and tender.
Danyangzi rubbed his arms and entered the room, seeing that Mo Wen was carrying a cloak like a net about to cover him, Danyangzi was shocked: "What is this going to do?" ”
"The immortal chief is cold, so quickly put on a cloak and slowly chill the wind."
Danyoko: ......
"The two hundred taels of silver I gave you not long ago, and you made all of them?"
Mo Wen's eyes widened: "The immortal chief is the immortal chief, and he can really predict the prophet!" ”
Danyangzi closed his eyes and gasped heavily: "That's two hundred taels of silver!" ”
"Don't hide it from the immortal chief, since the master left the disciple alone and didn't know where to go, the disciple had to ask Grandma Gu for a loan in order to consume food and clothing, how do you know that she is even darker than those who put the money in the seal, and the profit is rolling, the two hundred taels of silver are not enough to repay the debt, but it is not much worse, and it is thirty taels, the disciple does not dare to let the eldest grandmother make a profit, so I hope that the immortal chief can give again...... The disciple is asking the immortal chief for a loan, and he is willing to repay it with his labor, and the immortal chief should spend another thirty taels to buy the disciple as a slave and maid. ”
Mo asked to say it, and he was secretly grinding his teeth: After Gu Niangzi became a grandmother, she was really getting darker and darker, and she forcibly borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Xiaodao, and actually forced Xiaodao to sell herself!
But I can't refuse the coercion and temptation of the big grandmother, what kind of disease is it?
Danyangzi sighed: "When I don't know...... That's it, I'm too lazy to take care of the matter between you and Gu Yiren, I don't like your qualifications, and you can be a little servant, don't call yourself a disciple in front of me. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "I have to squeak with Gonggong Gao first in this matter, before you are qualified to step into the gate of the imperial city, and I also need a Taoist boy who specializes in running errands for me. ”
Things went well, and he wasn't forced to sign a deed of sale or something, Mo Wen was quite satisfied, and felt that Danyangzi's old way was quite good to speak, but I hope he didn't want to go against his grandmother, or he would be caught in the middle in the future. Is it towards the big grandma, or towards the big grandma?
Mo asked Xiaodao to fall on the kang and coquettishly at Jiao Xing: "For the sake of the eldest grandmother, Dao Ye can take on a huge debt this time." ”
"What debt?" Jiao Xing didn't hear clearly.
"A debt of conscience!" Mo Wen let out another long sigh.
"Yo, this debt can't be fulfilled on Xiaodao." Jiao Xing smiled and walked out with the tea bowl.
Mo asked for a long time to taste the taste, Jiao Xing was ridiculing him for having no conscience, and he was sad and indignant.
It is the New Year, Beizhen Fusi is not idle, in fact, the Zhenfu makes Tao Xiaoshen still anxious, even Chinese New Year's Eve did not spare time to go home to see his wife and children, and today he was waiting for his subordinates to report the news, and when he saw his subordinates coming back in embarrassment, he frowned and asked: "How did you make this shape." ”
"Don't mention it, a few naughty boys set off artillery battles, startled the horse, and fell into the mud all over me, so I was not injured because I was quite agile." The subordinates' faces were full of gloom: "It's true, Ren Xiangfu is indeed a fallen horse, many people have seen it with their own eyes, he is a literati, and he drank a few more glasses that day, this fall will definitely suffer, if it weren't for the quick reaction of the long people who followed him, maybe his head could be kicked out of his head by the horse's hooves, saying that his calf was trampled off, this thing doesn't seem to be apocryphal." ”
"But he also had private contact with the doorman of the Wei Mansion the day before." Tao Xiaoshen's brows became tighter and tighter.
"This matter is indeed suspicious, why don't Tao Gong play it truthfully?"
"Can the grandson move?"
"Let someone visit Ren Fufu."
"The grandson and Ren have a relationship, and it is even more suspicious to listen to this accident and ignore it, but he sent someone to visit...... It seems to be reasonable. Tao Xiaoshen was a little unsure of the depth between Taisun and Ren.
But since he has noticed the strangeness between Wei Guogong and Ren, the performance is to be played, and his current authority is not enough to make his own decisions to arrest and ask the nobles and close ministers.
As soon as he sent his subordinates to scout on another key person, his colleague Shen Changying stepped into the ministry hall listlessly.
Shen Changying is also a pacification envoy, but his authority is several streets behind Tao Xiaoshen, it seems that Shen Changying is the authority that the pacification envoy should have, but Tao Xiaoshen is a special case.
"Why do you look like a frosted eggplant?" Tao Xiao asked with a deep smile.
"It's not that I was forced by my father-in-law, but I came to you to inquire about the news but didn't hear any inside information, and my ears were almost deaf by my father-in-law." Shen Changying sighed.
He deserves to be pitiful, and he was originally unwilling, but Liang Shiqi, the nominal leader of Jinyiwei, was unfortunately his
Taishan Weng insisted on carrying him to occupy one of the positions of the pacification envoy. Shen Changying was familiar with Tao Xiaoshen when he was a teenager, and he had a friendship of more than 20 years, Tao Xiaoshen also knew that he did not have the slightest ambition in the institution of Jinyiwei, and he was even lazy to receive the salary.
Liang Shiqi didn't want to restore the past "glory" of Jinyiwei, but he was really not angry that Tao Xiaoshen, a subordinate, was more trusted by Emperor Hongfu than him, and surpassed him to become the real helmsman of Jinyiwei.
"It's not that I don't understand your difficulties......"
"Don't, don't." Shen Changying waved his hand hurriedly, and then rushed to the north: "The emperor's secret decree must not be leaked, where do I dare to violate this decree, I just look at my father-in-law to let go of my useless son-in-law, either I can continue to mix a salary in Beizhen Fusi, or simply dismiss me, I have already thought about it, after the dismissal, I will go to open a wine shop, in this world, I can't make a living by doing something, and I can't walk on the tip of a knife all day long, and make a worrying livelihood." ”
Speaking of which Shen Changying is also a noble son, but the family has long been in decline, and it was also for the sake of a way out that he went to Jinyiwei to report for a job, but he was frightened when he watched the criminal being punished for the first time, but the emperor at that time was unreasonable, not that officials could approve if they wanted to resign, especially an institution like Jinyiwei, it was not possible to hang a crown than Wenchen, and then he was somehow favored by Liang Shiqi and married Liang Shiqi's only daughter, although there was a lot of other ways to make a living, However, the father-in-law did not allow him to resign no matter what.
Shen Changying patted Tao Xiaoshen on the shoulder: "You work harder, strive to sit on the top spot of Jinyiwei as soon as possible, I don't ask for anything else, just ask you to dismiss me quickly, I will open the wine shop, and you will have a place to eat white food from now on." ”
Tao Xiaoshen couldn't cry or laugh.
On the eleventh day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival holiday was given, starting from the thirteenth day of the first month, the capital put a curfew, turned on the lantern festival, and celebrated the festival for three consecutive days.
Chun Gui can go out without the approval of the old lady, but on this day, Lan Ting is pulling her and not going out.
"Although I haven't seen the Shangyuan Festival in the capital, the lantern festival in Fenyang City has made me unbearable, I look at the legs, sitting on the shoulders of the father and then looking at the head, I see those big daughters and daughters-in-law, with knee-length hats, stepping on other people's feet and being trampled by others, not enough to move a few feet for a long time, what's the fun?"
It is also a disaster to be overcrowded, and she is most afraid of going to join in the excitement of the Yuan Lantern Festival.
"I have a quiet place to go, where I can enjoy the lights and drink, and I don't want to go to overlook the bustle."
"Go!" When the spring returns, it is judged that there are two people.
It's not just the two who go, but it's a huge group of people in the end.
The third lord and the third lady led the team, the fourth lord and the fourth lady "followed", and the brothers of Lantai, Lanlou, Lange, Lanfang, Lanqiao, and Lanlang did not fall behind, and even many girls from Lanzheng and Lanqin also formed a boudoir group, and this team is really impressive.
It seems that at the end of the year, Lan Ting only has time to drink and talk with the brothers during the New Year, and when he returns from spring, he can only care about the "brilliant lights and candles" around him.
