For the sake of having fresh fish to eat, Gu Meng decided not to pursue it, and Lao Langjun will admit it.

In the evening, there are four dishes: sweet and sour fish, stewed fish, dry fried fish pieces and cold dandelion, which is picked by the river and is exceptionally tender.

Gu Meng sat in the courtyard and watched Qin Mo fry the fish pieces.

Qin Mo's cooking method is different from ordinary people, and the taste is even more praiseworthy, the fish pieces are wrapped in a thin layer of egg wash and flour, fried in an oil pan until crispy, and sprinkled with fine salt and peppercorn powder while hot after coming out of the pan, the fragrance is fragrant.

Gu Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said to himself, "Yes, there is one more one more rubbing rice." ”

He Chang came over with a paper bag in his hand, and in the afternoon, he heard Gu Meng say that there were fresh fish to eat, so he stepped on the meal and came over.

Fortunately, both of them are people with heads and faces, and they are embarrassed to eat white food, Gu Meng will bring wine and meat every time he comes over, and He Chang is the same, he brought a roast goose.

"It's so fragrant!" As soon as He Chang stepped into the courtyard, he couldn't help but exclaim.

As the Great Song Dynasty, where stir-fried dishes have not yet been fully popularized, Sichuan pepper, fennel and other things have not yet become condiments for cooking, but have appeared as medicinal materials, and Qin Mo bought them from the medicinal herb store.

The fried fish pieces with pepper powder had a strange fragrance, Qin Mo and He Chang said a few polite words, and then began to serve.

The two were full of praise for his cooking skills, especially He Chang, a plate of crispy fried fish pieces was almost all snatched by him, and under the stimulation of peppercorns, he was sweating profusely and shouting that he would come back often in the future.

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Mo complained: "The stove in the kitchen is almost dead, since the two of you like to eat the food cooked by the students so much, why don't you come over together at noon tomorrow and help me build a new stove." ”

Gu Meng's eyes rolled: "I'm afraid not, I'm going to entertain a very important guest at noon tomorrow." ”

Qin Mo turned his head to look at He Chang, who wiped the oil on his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "This important guest has a special status, and Ben Xuezheng is also going to attend." ”

Gu Meng glanced at He Chang with a puzzled gaze, and He Chang pretended to be serious.

Qin Mo frowned, it was obvious that these two old guys were deliberately making excuses, it was very hard to build a stove, and just the mud made the two of them stay away.

Angry guys!

After being full of wine and food, He Chang borrowed Gu Meng's lies, and the two sympathized with each other, and suddenly became passionate, hooked their shoulders and left the grass house step by step.

The next morning, Qin Mo came to the school.

After a day off, the classmates were in good spirits.

This is not surprising, I believe that many people go home not to rest, but to show off to relatives and friends, and being admitted to the Wendao College is definitely the best capital to brag about.

Today's lecture is really [Words for Soldiers] again, as soon as the homework is over, Qin Mo hurried back to the grass house.

On a wooden shelf in the courtyard, the pickled fish made last night is dried, and wild vegetables that have been boiled in hot water are used to make dried vegetables.

Putting down his bag and changing into old clothes, he went to the kitchen to fight the stove.

If you want to build a new stove, you must first dismantle the old one, and although it has been severely cracked and deformed, the circle of mud used to hold the iron pot in place is very strong, and after a long period of flame burning, it has taken on the texture of pottery.

It took a lot of effort to finally take the pot off, and he waved the mallet and knocked off the bricks one by one.

Smack!

A fist-sized block of mud rolled down Qin Mo's feet and hit the green brick, shattering and flashing with light.

He looked down and saw a square beast button embedded in the middle of the mud.

He reached out and picked it up, pulling out of the mud, this is a white jade ancient seal, Yin Niu is a prone unicorn ancient beast, the carving is very fine, even the scales on the beast can be clearly seen, the unicorn's abdomen has a perforation, used to tie the rope, play a convenient role in carrying.

The shape of the ancient seal is close to the cube, the printing surface is less than an inch square, and there are four white seal characters engraved with it.

Because the words on the printed surface were inscribed backwards, and the font was extremely complicated, he couldn't recognize what the words were for a while.

However, it is not difficult to judge from the shape of the seal that this is an official seal of the Qin and Han dynasties, when the emperor had strict regulations on seal letters, and only the emperor's jade seal could exceed one inch.

In later generations, this rule was gradually broken, especially after the Tang Dynasty, the specifications of the seal letter continued to rise, and official seals of more than one inch abounded.

Although the ancient seal in his hand was not more than an inch, it was already very close, so it should be the seal of the prince.

Suspicious, he took the ancient seal to the main hall and stamped it on the paper with ink instead of ink.

The Indian script is the insect and bird script, which was popular in the Wu and Chu countries in the Warring States Period, and was also known as the bird seal, which was the official language of the Chu State.

"Xichu...... What the...... Wang!" He recognized three characters at first sight, the characters "Xi" and "Wang" were simple strokes, and the characters "Chu" often appeared in the Warring States documents, and it was not difficult to recognize these three characters.

Only the last word remains, which is not only difficult to read, but also has a dense stroke, almost equal to the sum of the strokes of the other three characters.

"Western Chu?" he frowned and said to himself: "The Chu State in history has always called itself Great Chu, and there has never been such a title as Western Chu...... Wait, I remember!"

He involuntarily breathed faster, there is only one possibility that the word "Western Chu" appears in history, and that is "Western Chu Overlord"!

In that year, Xiang Yu destroyed Qin and divided the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, which was one of the strongest generals in Chinese history, but five years later he was defeated by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and killed Wujiang.

Could it be that this is Xiang Yu's seal back then?

It is very likely that after Xiang Yu's suicide, all his assets and subordinates were returned to Liu Bang, and the Han Dynasty died four hundred years later.

Later, it entered the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, and it was likely that the seal of the overlord of Western Chu was lost to the people at that time.

Ancient seals are absolute treasures for scribes of calligraphy and painting, they can mobilize the power of heaven and earth for their own use, and good ancient seals can conjure up soldiers, battle formations, etc., to help users defeat opponents.

Because of this, countless ancient tombs have been stolen throughout the ages, and in addition to the gold and silver treasures inside, ancient seals are also one of the most plundered items.

For example, Wen Tao during the Five Dynasties, the eighteen Yellow Emperor Mausoleums in the Tang Dynasty, except for the joint burial tombs of Zhongzong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, the remaining seventeen were all dug up, the burial goods were looted, and it became normal for all kinds of treasures to appear among the people.

However, why was the seal of the Overlord of Western Chu wrapped in mud, and such a treasure was afraid of being lost, and it was hidden in such a broken stove, what kind of considerations did the people who did it have?

According to Qin Mo's understanding of Tingquan Caolu, it was first built in the Later Zhou Dynasty more than 100 years ago, and in addition to retaining the original foundation site, it has undergone many reconstructions.

It's hard to find out who its original owner is, let alone why it's hidden.

Don't look at it as just a royal seal, but the preciousness is higher than that of ordinary emperor jade seals, because the emperor will make several jade seals for himself and bury them in the imperial tomb after death, while there is only one overlord of Western Chu, and he only exists for five years.

He threaded a thin hemp rope through the space under the button, carefully fastened it around his belt, and then went back to the kitchen to continue repairing the stove as if nothing had happened.

An hour later, when a new stove was built, he lit a handful of firewood and slowly smoked the wet mud, believing that by evening it would be ready for use.

In the afternoon, while fishing and practicing calligraphy, it does not affect each other, and the twin whirls in the Wen Palace have exceeded an inch in diameter.

Like a few days ago, Gu Meng came to the grass house on time to eat.

"Uncle, it's not appropriate for you to come to me every day to eat and drink for nothing, right?" he said with great opinions.

Gu Meng smiled: "Dr. Ben doesn't have to pay for sleeping with a girl, I bring my own wine and meat every time, how can I say that I eat and drink for nothing." ”

Hearing his previous words, Qin Mo rolled his eyes angrily, and secretly scolded Lao for not being ashamed in his heart, and kept this matter on his lips all day long, as if he was afraid that others would not know.

Too lazy to dwell on him in this matter, Qin Mo said: "There is an extra cyclone in my Wen Palace, the shape is a little strange, you can help me see what it is." ”

Gu Meng put away his smile, put a hand on his wrist, and suddenly widened his eyes: "Wendao Huixin!"

Qin Mo glanced at him: "Say something I don't know, I mean the other one, two cyclones side by side, like twins." ”

Gu Meng's eyes widened, he took a deep breath and said, "One heart and two purposes!"

Hearing this name, Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, but he was quickly relieved, and said with a smile: "No wonder, I can practice calligraphy and fishing without delay, it turns out that I am dedicated to two purposes." ”

Gu Meng looked at him like a monster and said: "Boy, Wendao Huixin is already an unattainable thing, how many people can't get it in their lifetime, and you actually got a more powerful dual-purpose thing, your luck is really good." ”

Qin Mo smiled: "No way, good character! By the way, what is so good about this single-minded and dual-purpose person that can make Dr. Gu so respected." ”

Gu Meng Zhengse said: "With the ability to use one heart and two purposes, a scribe can write with his left and right hands at the same time, and his attack power will be about twice as high as that of a person with the same literary position! ”

It is difficult for ordinary people to concentrate on it, and because of this, Xu Chengzhi and Yan Ming joined forces to trick him into living in Tingquan Caolu, just to use the sound of running water to affect his concentration and make him unable to concentrate.

This shows how important it was for the scribe to be dual-minded.

Gu Meng was envious and asked, "How did this cyclone come about?"

Qin Mo said honestly: "While fishing, I practice calligraphy." ”

The handsome old man expressed disbelief: "It's that simple?"

He nodded solemnly: "It's as simple as that, at the beginning, I also took care of one or the other, and then slowly got used to it, I didn't know when it came into being, and I only noticed it later." ”

Seeing that the handsome old man picked up the fishing rod leaning against the wall with red eyes, he hurriedly asked, "Why are you going?"

"Fishing, practicing calligraphy!" the handsome old man strode towards the river.

His behavior made Qin Mo stunned for a while before he spoke, "It's dark." ”

"I have a pre-test Gongshi degree, and my eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is not a problem when it is dark. ”

"I mean, it's dark, and the fish are all going home to find their daughters-in-law, or it's possible to visit the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the fish world...... Don't stare at me, or where did the little fish come from?"
