Chapter 3, Section 29 Getting down to business
"This is Dali Temple Shaoqing Huan Shize, Lord Huan. Cui Xuanwei introduced on the side.
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Chengshan arched his hand.
Huan Yanfan, the word Shize, the second-in-command of Dali Temple, Dali Temple is the highest judicial organ of the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to the modern Supreme Court, in charge of the trial of criminal and prison cases, it seems that this person must be resourceful and clever.
"I just listened to the five-character rhythm of the scholar, it is really wonderful, and he deserves to be a genius of the world!" Huan Yanfan's eyes were very keen, and he looked at Chengshan carefully, carefully observing his every move.
"Lord Huan has won the prize. ”
"I heard that a few days ago, the Grand Master of the Protector was interpreting his wife's dream in the palace, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
The dream interpretation that Huan Yanfan said was that Wu Zetian dreamed of a child a few days ago, jumping and jumping in her arms. She asked Gongsun Yu to interpret the dream, and Gongsun Yu said it was a good omen. Chengshan thought to himself, this is all a secret in the palace, how could it be spread?
"It is true. Chengshan muttered in his heart, do you want to pull me into the water again?
"What do you think of the scholar?" Huan Yanfan really deserves to be a master detective, he is pressing step by step, watching Chengshan's reaction.
"A son is okay, it's better than Erlang. In other words, it is a good thing to dream of a child, maybe it is the crown prince Li Xian, it is better than dreaming of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers.
Although the number of words in the answer was small, several other people immediately understood what Chengshan meant, and everyone looked at each other and smiled, as if they coincided.
Chengshan knew that several of them were the masterminds of the Shenlong coup, and they were colluding and liaison, and everything was already ready. However, the sudden appearance of the three Chengshan disrupted their plans, and they lived in the Fengchen Mansion of the Zhang brothers.
Chengshan was worried about disrupting their plans, so he came to the Hanlin Academy many times, just to relieve their worries, and Chengshan also expressed his respect for Di Renjie during the chat, and slowly gained the trust of the other party, otherwise even if Chengshan and they had divine power, it would be very troublesome to be caught in the whirlpool of political struggle.
After a few more small talks, Chengshan was ready to get up and say goodbye. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid arousing suspicion, and on the other hand, he also wanted to meet Shangguan Wan'er. Several important ministers of the court saw that he had made up his mind, so they no longer kept him.
Chengshan walked out of the gate of the Hanlin Temple, and a servant came over, and it seemed that he had been waiting outside for a long time.
"See the scholar, Lord Shangguan, please. ”
"It so happened that I was about to go to her. Chengshan jumped into the carriage that had come to pick him up, and soon came to the Shubunkan.
The Xiuwen Museum is lit up and lively.
Shangguan Wan'er accompanied Chengshan around the Xiuwen Pavilion and greeted everyone gently. Chengshan was actually already impatient, his breath began to become rapid, and Shangguan Wan'er laughed on the side. "How so? Isn't it sick?"
When she arrived at the room where Shangguan Wan'er was resting in the backyard, Chengshan hugged her fiercely.
"Be light, and watch out for what you hear outside. Shangguan Wan'er muttered shyly.
"Didn't you just order them not to come to the backyard?
"How about I take you to Lantian to pick jade today?"
"What?" Shangguan Wan'er felt inexplicable, what kind of jade did she go to Lantian to pick at this time?
Lantian is far away in Chang'an, is the famous "jade township", Lantian jade is listed in the ancient "four famous jade", Zhou Lizhong said that "the beauty of jade is blue", so it is known as "jade Lantian" reputation.
In the Tang Dynasty, China's feudal society reached its heyday, and the processing and utilization of Lantian jade also reached an unprecedented height. Lantian is the land of Jinnai, and Yushan has become an official mine. The imperial court excavated Lantian jade very frequently, Chang'an even set off a wind of dining jade, officials and civilians flocked to Lantian Jade Mountain to pick up broken jade, pounded into powder and served it, it is said that long-term service can prolong life and ascend to immortals.
In April of the seventeenth year of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 729 A.D., Yushan suffered an earthquake, "the mountain destroyed more than 100 steps", the jade mine collapsed, the jade seedlings were completely hidden, and the ancient Lantian jade that flourished for nearly a thousand years has been hidden. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Shangguan Wan'er was a little surprised when she heard that Chengshan was going to take her to Lantian to pick jade, but Chengshan's hands were not idle, and she instantly took off the clothes on the two people.
"There are tears in the bright moon in the sea, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. If you want to pick beautiful jade, you must first choose Yutian. This jade field must be smooth and moist, the surrounding weeds do not grow, and the soil is delicate, soft and elastic, to be considered a good jade field. ”
"You're talking nonsense again, how can the soil be soft and elastic?" Wan'er's long hair had fallen out, as smooth and smooth as a black waterfall.
Chengshan ignored the contradiction and continued. "After choosing the jade field, the second thing is to find the jade hole. There is a characteristic of the place where this jade hole is located, that is, there are orchids everywhere, where orchids gather, and if there is a deep hole under it, it is a jade hole. ”
Shangguan Wan'er was scratched and giggled.
"Didn't I find it?" Chengshan probed with his hand. "That's right. ”
"After finding the jade hole, you must use a red-hot copper pillar to penetrate deeply, if the aroma is slightly emerging, that is the right position, if there is a fishy smell, it means that you have found the wrong place, and you have to re-explore. Chengshan's voice couldn't help but be a little hurried.
"So are you looking for the right one now?" Wan'er smiled slightly, and sweat began to form on her head.
"Exactly here. Chengshan was very happy, he was already proficient, and it seemed that he was a master of jade picking.
Then the red-hot copper pillar must be put into it and let it stand for a while, until the jade water seeps out slightly from it, and then it can continue to explore. ”
Wan'er sighed softly. "It's hot!"
"This is nature, the copper pillar is a pure masculine thing, it can naturally stir the jade field, and when the jade field vibrates, you can use this copper pillar to continuously exert downward force to further explore the depths of the jade vein. ”
"What's in the depths?" Wan'er's hands gripped Chengshan's waist, and she seemed to be unable to bear the pain, frowning and biting her lip.
"There will be another hole in the depths, called Jade Linglong, but it is extremely difficult to search, because at this time the jade water is flooding, and the water and fire intersect and sneer, if it is not for a long time on the battlefield, it will really take some effort. ”
"Is a scholar battle-hardened?"
"I'm not battle-hardened, but practice makes perfect. In the past few days, thanks to Wan'er, I have taught me a lot of kung fu, and I will definitely repay the grace of dripping water, and I will not let Wan'er down. ”
Shangguan Wan'er's breathing became more and more rapid, she could barely speak, and as the rhythm of the copper pillar churning Yutian became faster and faster, she could barely withstand the huge impact.
"Before picking jade, it is necessary to pay tribute to the god of jade, usually only need to prepare some snow-white steamed buns, one left and one right on the top of the jade field, and insert some raisins or red dates on it. When picking jade, you should pinch these steamed buns vigorously and cooperate with the copper pillar to get up and down your hands. ”
"You lighten up. ”
"You have to use your strength, otherwise how can you shake the entire Yutian? Yutian is not shaking, naturally you can't find Jade Linglong, if you unload the copper paste at this time, won't you give up your efforts?"
"Then hurry up, I can't stand it anymore. ”
"What's the hurry? I haven't eaten raisins yet!"
"Ahh Shangguan Wan'er shouted again. "Lighter. ”
"Wan'er, you don't know! Raisins must be savored and chewed slowly, and the taste can only be known if you taste them carefully. ”
"You're so bad!"
"Orchid fragrance treasure hunting is better than water, a piece of ice and jade exquisite. Wan'er, I seem to have found it!"
"How are you going?"
Naturally, the red-hot copper pillar was poked into it and the road was continued to be paved. ”
"It's all been found, why are you still trying so hard?"
"Do you know that this copper pillar is made after 7749 days of firing, and it is difficult to cool down for a while, and it must be cooled down with the help of endless clear jade water. If you forcibly take it out at this time, the copper paste will be sprayed everywhere, and you will not be able to collect the best Lantian jade. ”
At this time, only the roar of the bed was heard, and it was estimated that the front yard could also be heard clearly.
Wan'er's pronunciation was already confused, and she let the strong Chengshan mess around.
"The copper pillar is about to cool, the copper water is about to spew out, and the entire Yutian will shake violently, Wan'er, you must hold on!"
But at this time, Wan'er could no longer control her body, and the fragrant jade water gushed out like the Yellow River being diverted.
"I'm here too!" Cheng Shan yelled, his movements even more frantic, almost shaking the bed over......
After resting for a while, Chengshan wiped his sweat. "Wan'er, I've already picked beautiful jade, how do you feel?"
"It's very comfortable. ”
"Do you want to pick another piece?"
"The concubine is accompanied. ”
Chengshan laughed, he said in his heart. "It's really thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger", it doesn't seem to be false at all!
The two of them cooperated seamlessly, and they picked several pieces of Lantian jade in a row, all of which were of good quality, crystal clear and warm.
"The university scholar was tired. Wan'er said with concern.
"I'm not tired, even if I pick all the beautiful jade from Lantian, I don't feel tired, but I'm afraid that this jade field won't be able to stand the toss and break the jade seedlings. ”
Shangguan Wan'er hid her face and smiled, she really admired Chengshan for having such good physical strength, since ancient times, Chang'e loved young people, and she only now "deeply" realized the meaning.
"Since the scholar has excellent physical strength, it seems that he is gifted, and I don't know if he can know people. ”
"What's so hard about that? "Chengshan has been carried away by the victory, and he feels that there is nothing impossible in the world.
"What do you think of King Liang?"
"He?" Cheng Shan Xin said, such a bad old man, what do you ask him for?
"yes. Wan'er seemed to be very interested in Wu Sansi.
Chengshan held Wan'er tightly in his arms, closed his eyes and thought about it, he was carefully searching for the record of Wu Sansi.
"King Liang is His Majesty's own nephew, he understands the holy will, handles things smoothly, and is a rare important minister in the court. Chengshan said perfunctorily.
"What will happen to him?"
Seongsan frowned, and suddenly remembered something that made his heart tremble. However, he still felt good about himself, and was sure that this would not happen for the time being, after all, he was a young and vigorous young man, how could he not be compared to a bad old man in his fifties?
No matter from which point of view, he has an absolute advantage, as long as he is on this day, Wan'er will never be able to empathize with him.
"No, no, that's what will happen after I'm gone. ”
