146, the secret of the jade pendant
Chen Lanzhou did things really quickly, but in half a month, the booklet of "Shoufu is a goblin" was printed out of his bookstore, I dragged Shutong to buy a copy for me, and after a cursory look at it before going to sleep, I found that the goblin Shoufu in the book was portrayed as a kind and smart nature, and the son who was originally coerced to go to her house to drink finally changed his opinion of her without exception, and finally fell in love with her.
The direction of this story can't help but make people think about it, so that night, I had a very serious dream.
In the dream, Lord Ben Shoufu's eyes were hazy, his clothes were half-dissolved, the corners of his lips were smiling, his face was like a spring peach, he seemed to be drunk and not drunk and reclined on the bed made of yellow rosewood, surrounded by more than a dozen little boys to pinch his shoulders and beat his legs, and pour wine with vegetables, I squinted my eyes and looked left and right, and saw that these little boys were all white and red, with soft waists and long legs, I couldn't help but feel happy, and Shi Shiran was like walking in the sky by the clouds and the wind.
A young man took the opportunity to put his hand into my loose clothes, I hooked my lips and smiled, took the skin of the hand and moved it to my chest, leaned over to his face, stared at his red ear, exhaled a breath of wine, and asked, "Do you think I am soft here, will that man like it?" ”
The little boy replied to me: "Miss Qin is soft, there is no man who doesn't like it." ”
These words obviously made me happy, but for some reason these words also made me sad, and I wanted to correct him: what you said is not right, although he is a man, he does not like me.
But who he is, I can't imagine that face, in my memory he always has a jade face, I feel that I may not be able to see his true face until I die, which makes me full of sadness, and the strength of pinching that hand is also a little heavier. The little boy thought I needed him, so he used this strength to get closer to me.
What an empathetic and good son, I stared at the red lips and wanted to kiss him, but I saw a figure like a divine soldier descending from the sky, covering his head, I didn't react yet, I felt a huge force from my wrist, and I was lifted up from the side of a group of little boys, and the anger in my ears made my scalp numb: "Are you crazy Qin Buxian?!" ”
I tried to open my eyes to see him, but I found that I could not do anything, and because I had risen so violently that my head was dizzy from the surging of wine, and my body could barely stand still, the man who scolded me took me by the waist and locked me in his arms. There was a robe and a hood, and I smelled a familiar and good smell, which was the fragrance of osmanthus in Jiangnan in October.
He seemed to be very angry, and there was a lot of disturbance and rumbling in his ears for a while before he returned to quiet, and finally there was a sigh: "You have been here for ten days?" You know you're a girl, you've never indulged yourself in such a difficult situation before, what's wrong with you, you ......?"
It's ridiculous, you're not me, of course I don't know the difficulty of staying like a jade in troubled times, you can't understand my despair in this predicament, there have been countless times when I can't hold on, how do you know that I didn't want to indulge myself at that time.
A sneer welled up in my eyes and turned into a large mist, and I suddenly wanted to deliberately indulge him, so I grabbed the shirt on his chest with both hands, and stood on tiptoe and pressed it firmly to his lips.
He was stunned for a while, and finally pushed me away: "Envy, you are sober, I am your uncle." ”
"Uncle Shi," I said, looking around and calming down for a while, "why didn't you wear a mask today?" ”
He became angry at this and asked me a strange question: "When you did this, you were thinking of someone else?" ”
He guessed wrong, and the person I had in mind from beginning to end was none other than him.
But I still deliberately angry with him and said: "I just saw a handsome son, and I felt lonely, so I kissed him." I didn't expect it to be you, uncle. ”
The dream came to an abrupt end, even though the boy I was light in the dream did not wear a mask, but I couldn't see his face clearly because of drunken eyes, I only remember that the boy had beautiful lips, and when I kissed the lip flap, the slight stubble on his chin made me itch.
The sunlight fell on me through the gap in the curtains, and when I looked at the light, I suddenly felt that I was very immoral, and I forcibly kissed the boy without saying anything, and lied to him duplicitously.
Ben Shoufu in the dream, this is not taking the right road, looking for the wrong path, it really looks like a goblin.
I touched the leftover herbal tea from last night on the pillow, poured a few sips leisurely, and just as Shutong knocked on the door and came in to remind me that it was time to go to court, I put down the tea cup and asked her: "Do you remember if there is a son I call him 'uncle'?" ”
Shutong lowered his head and chuckled while making the bed for me: "I haven't heard that you have a senior uncle." ”
"I was afraid that my brain had been broken in the years I had been asleep, and last night I dreamed that I had made my uncle light." I raised my head and glanced at the beams of the room, a cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I said weakly, "Fortunately, I don't have a senior uncle, otherwise this kind of behavior would be chaotic." ”
Today's dynasty is different from the past, today is the first day of the fifth month, the day of His Royal Highness King Chong'an. Since I became the first assistant, he only went to court on the fifteenth day of the first month, I heard that he used to be so unwilling to see the female emperor Cheng Yu, and now he doesn't want to see the female first assistant me.
But I think I'm going crazy to see him.
At the end of March, Cheng Yu issued an edict to appoint me as the first assistant of the cabinet, and the former chief assistant Chen Changfeng was dismissed and re-made his original military secretary, it stands to reason that Chen Changfeng was taken away by me as the first assistant, and he should hold a grudge, but he is not anxious, not annoyed, not arrogant, not impatient, and even every time he sees me, he can still greet me politely - his calm appearance makes me always suspect that Cheng Yu and he have reached some kind of agreement in secret.
But even so, I am still wary of him and even cautious, after all, he is a person who does not even care about the safety of the people in his hometown, even if he can pretend to be humble and generous on the face, he is absolutely cold-blooded and cruel in his bones. So, Honshosuke waited quietly for him to come to me, or to trouble me.
Sure enough, he came to me, about half a month after I was the first assistant, one day, he stopped me at the palace gate, and said with a spring breeze on his face that he wanted to give this first assistant a small gift, and then he took out a royal blue brocade box from his sleeve.
I shook my fan, looked at him and said with a light smile, "Lord Chen wants to bribe Ben Shoufu?" ”
He smiled, "If it's a bribe, you should secretly go to Lord Qin's mansion, why bother under this Lang Lang Qian," he said and opened the box and pushed it in front of me, "It's just a piece of jade." ”
I glanced down and saw that the brocade box was indeed a piece of jade, with an extremely low-key color and texture, in other words: very worthless.
He picked up the jade pendant, and when he saw that I didn't mean to take it, he turned it over and pointed to the pattern on the front to show me: "Lord Qin, please see, this jade is a complete piece of ink jade, and the surrounding silver line pattern is a simplified sun, moon and stars, the lines are simple, and you can see in the middle, there is also a coin made of bronze, with a heavy color." ”
I stared at the bronze coin on the jade pendant and the scratches around it, and suddenly felt that this copper coin was like a terrifying green eyeball, lying in the dark and staring at me quietly, although my heart was a little throbbing, I still pretended not to care, and said with a smile: "Since this jade pendant is so appreciated by Lord Chen, I will keep it myself." After saying that, he walked away.
He hurriedly stepped forward to block my way: "Lord Qin, the reason why I want to give you this jade pendant is because this jade pendant is related to you." ”
I almost thought I had misheard, and I couldn't help but laugh at him, "What's the matter, is my surname engraved on this jade pendant or my name?" ”
He raised his eyebrows, and said with joy: "Lord Qin is like a god, this jade pendant does have your name written on it!" ”
I was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”
"My lord, please look at the side of this jade pendant, which is impartially engraved with the word 'envy'." He said.
I took it in a trance, looked at the jade pendant under the sun, and sure enough, I saw a word 'Xian' stuck on the jade, and saw that some of the strokes on the engraving had been polished to a little smooth, and the ink jade tire was integrated, as if it was not newly carved.
"Where did Lord Chen get this jade pendant?" I asked.
He stroked his beard and smiled: "I bought it from the antique Zhai many years ago, and I heard the shopkeeper who sold the jade say that the jade was collected from the king of Chong'an. ”
"Then why don't you return the jade pendant to His Royal Highness King Chong'an?"
He explained it like this: "Since His Royal Highness King Chong'an sold this jade pendant to the Antique Zhai, it means that he doesn't like this jade pendant, why should he hand this jade pendant again to make His Royal Highness unhappy." However, I heard that this jade pendant is related to some immortal arts, if Lord Qin is unwilling to accept this jade pendant, it is okay to transfer it to His Majesty the Emperor, and her old man is very interested in this immortal technique. ”
Something to do with the art of immortality?
I pinched the jade pendant, glanced back at Zhong Qidian, and couldn't help frowning.
No matter what reason Chen Changfeng gave me this jade pendant, he must have achieved some purpose, because I was really curious about this jade pendant, and even went to Chen Lanzhou's bookstore for this jade pendant to consult many ancient books, but after all, I found nothing, so this Shoufu finally turned his attention to Chong'an Wang Weiqi.
If it is really as Chen Changfeng said, this jade pendant was the stuff of King Chong'an before, then he must know the secret of this jade pendant about immortality, I should set up a banquet for him, first, I can take the opportunity to let him tell me about the jade pendant, and second, I can also thank him for his grace in purchasing Xiyuan for me in Nanguo Mansion.
But I never expected that half a month later, my banquet posts were sent one after another, but he didn't reply to the post once, and finally even put a brazier in front of the palace, and the housekeeper of the palace stood tremblingly in front of the brazier and told Shutong, who went to deliver the post, "Girl, my Royal Highness said that if the post of Lord Shoufu is sent again, it can be burned in front of the palace." ”
Me: "......??" ”
And the more things I couldn't know, the more I wanted to know, and I made up my mind to ask the secret of this jade pendant.
So today, this Shoufu grasped the day when His Royal Highness King Chong'an went to court, put on the jade pendant, and was ready to go, ready to go down to the court to hold him and ask him.
