Chapter 120: An ominous omen
"Okay, I'll take it if you say that." Shen Xi looked at Liu Congwen and said indifferently.
It was already dark when worshipping ancestors, and a group of people followed the emperor to the Taimiao in a mighty manner, Shen Xi kept his head down, and he was playing his little Jiujiu in his heart, this ancestor worship has nothing to do with her.
When they arrived at the Taimiao, a few princes followed the emperor and queen in, as well as the Heavenly Master, and the rest of the people all knelt in the courtyard of the Taimiao Temple and waited for the results.
Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi knelt in a row, this kneeling time was a little long, and their feet were numb, Shen Xi had never knelt like this when she was so old, she poked Lu Qingyi with her hand, and whispered, "What are they doing in there?" Why hasn't it come out yet? ”
"The Heavenly Master is doing it inside, and there are others." Lu Qingyi is used to it, every year, whether it is the emperor's birthday or the queen's birthday, he will come to worship his ancestors, and he will kneel for at least a few hours each time, and if he encounters anything unlucky, it will be longer.
Shen Xi didn't understand why they were so superstitious, and felt that the peace of a country depended on the blessings of the dead, but she didn't dare to complain, so she could only kneel quietly.
I don't know how long it took for the door to open, and none of the people who came out of it had a good face, especially the emperor, whose gloomy face looked like it made people shudder.
Shen Xi originally thought that they would be able to leave when they came out, but who knew that Chang Yi suddenly came to them and knelt down.
"Hey, what's going on? The emperor doesn't seem to be very happy. As soon as Shen Xi saw Chang Yi kneeling down, she knew that it was hopeless to get out of the palace now, but she was still very curious about what was going on inside.
"The hexagram interpreted by the Heavenly Master is an ominous omen." Chang Yi also frowned slightly, not long after he went inside, the tablet of the first ancestor fell, and then a mouse ran out of it, in the royal family, this kind of thing is naturally ominous, and after the heavenly master explained the hexagram, he said that the world would change to the master.
The matter of changing the foreign lord is even more terrible than the change of ownership, the foreign lord is a person with a foreign surname, which is the result that no royal family wants to see, and no one wants to give up the country they have laid to others.
That's why the emperor's face is so gloomy.
What we have to do now is to wait for the Heavenly Master to solve this hexagram and then occupy another hexagram.
Shen Xi rolled his eyes, this is another hexagram, I don't know how long it will take, this has been a normal thing since ancient times, and the change of dynasties is a very normal thing, and no dynasty will always be able to go on smoothly, and it will be over when the number of qi is exhausted.
But this is not a hexagram that can be occupied, who can really not know the prophet? If you want the country to survive forever, the only constant law is to continue to strengthen yourself, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, otherwise the world will be defeated sooner or later.
waited until midnight for the matter of worshipping the ancestors to be good, but the emperor was still worried.
also called Liu Congwen away.
Shen Xi was already very sleepy, and after getting into the carriage, she fell asleep on Lu Qingyi's shoulder, and Lu Qingyi did not send Shen Xi to the bookstore, but took her to Lu Mansion.
When Shen Xi woke up the next day, the sun was already high, everyone in the house had already prepared lunch, Lu Qingyi and Lu's father had already sat down at the table, and Shen Xi was left alone to smile at them very awkwardly.
She got up late this time, and it was just in front of Lu Qingyi, but in front of his father, it was not good after all.
"Come, eat something, don't go hungry." Father Lu didn't say anything, but returned the vegetables to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi's face was full of embarrassment, and after smiling at Father Lu, he looked at Lu Qingyi with a dark face, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you wake me up?" "One-eighteen
"My father said he'd let you sleep a little longer." Lu Qingyi didn't care at all.
Shen Xi's face immediately turned red.
It was not easy to eat a good meal, so she hurriedly asked Lu Qingyi to take her back to the bookstore, if she stayed any longer, it would be really embarrassing.
Lu Qingyi had no choice but to send Shen Xi back to the bookstore.
It just so happened that Liu Congwen was reading a book in the store, and he was reading Shen Xi's "Literati Dipping Flowers", and he read it with relish.
Among the many books that Shen Xi has published, this one is worth reading.
"Didn't you say my book was nothing to look at?" Shen Xi teased when he saw Liu Congwen.
"The book you published has a desire to read it." Liu Congwen has never liked those sadomasochistic stories, he thinks they are too fake, it is better to see a little real.
"As I said, I don't just write about feelings, I'm also a writer with depth." Shen Xi has never been confined to herself, nor has she set limits for herself, let alone on the subject matter of the book, she has always believed that existence is reasonable.
Since the ancient poetry and poetry can be passed down to modern times, there must be a reason for it, so what she wants to promote is never only modern culture, but also to be able to retain the existing culture while advocating modern culture, which is really successful.
And Shen Xi has always believed that she can.
Moreover, her "Literati Dipping Flowers" has indeed been appreciated by many people, most of these people are scholars and talents, and some are officials in the officialdom like Liu Congwen, this book is written about honesty and integrity, I believe they will be very helpful to themselves after reading it, and Shen Xi can also find out something from it.
Shen Xi often asked those officials about things in the officialdom on the grounds of looking for books, because the officials were divided into two factions, the prince and the second prince, so the things he inquired about were also very practical.
This is very helpful for Chang Yi.
"Actually, you are very smart, you are good at everything, and you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but others can't bully you." Liu Congwen has praised Shen Xi more than once, he knows that Shen Xi is not a simple girl, and it can be seen from her winning the championship in one fell swoop that she has a strong ability to deal with things.
"I'm on par with you when it comes to being smart." Shen Xi has never been modest, and she will take any praise from others to her one by one.
"I mean, if you can come to Dali Temple to take up a position, the future is limitless." Liu Congwen was talking to Shen Xi very seriously about this matter.
The people that Dali Temple needs are all decisive and resolute and have the courage to do things without dragging their feet, and yesterday Shen Xi was dealing with the matter of being framed, which opened Liu Congwen's eyes, and he had this idea.
"Dali Temple?" Shen Xi was stunned when he heard Liu Congwen say this, and then shook his head again and again, "I'm just a writer, and I haven't seen anything in the world, going to Dali Temple will only hold you back." ”
Shen Xi doesn't have such a big ambition to go to Dali Temple to eliminate harm for the people, she just wants to be able to live this life safely.
If she goes to Dali Temple, she will first be questioned by everyone, not to mention, but more importantly, she will have a lot of enemies, these enemies are outlaws, and she can't afford to gamble.
"It's okay, I'll be waiting for you whenever you want to come."
