Chapter 20: Meet the Old Way Again
The statement of the artificial rainbow dragon must be a bit exaggerated, what this prism can create is only a more eye-catching colored light, but just like this, as long as it is used, this time it is enough to relieve His Majesty.
Later, Zhong Liwu dismissed a group of staff, and when everyone left, Lu Liang stopped Wei Ling at the door of the study.
"Master Wei, that uncle, have you ever had any dealings with him?"
"Not really."
"Today, he borrowed the hand of Young Master Mo to present a gift to his grandfather, thinking that he had some calculations, but after his grandfather accepted it, he didn't say a word to him, and he didn't know what he thought."
"Grandpa naturally has his own thoughts, thinking about what to do, but I suddenly thought of a happy event, Mr. Liang wants to hear about it?"
"I want to hear about it."
"I heard that His Majesty suffered from the courtiers a few days ago because of Changhong, but this was not the original intention of the sky, so His Majesty was stunned when the immortals dreamed, and was awarded the method of dividing the light into a rainbow, so as to show His Majesty's integrity, but also show the grace of heaven...... How is this? ”
"That's good."
……
The Liuyin courtyard occupies the scenery, and the days are long. The blue waves are newly rising and the small ponds are busy.
Ping is casual, fluttering, light and crazy. For the mercy of the flow of flowers, the title will return to the painting beam.
The courtyard of the big family is good, when I first came to see it carefully, now I am leisurely walking around the Huaiming Mansion to take a look, watching the swallows linger on the green tiles and blue waves, Situ Xi is a little emotional.
Speaking of which, his current residence can be regarded as a snail's house, and there are still three people in the family, and now he has some spare money in his hands, and it is indeed time to change to a new home.
Why don't you go around the market for a while today, ask some Zhuang Zhaiya people in the West Market, and look for them.
"Quiet Advocacy" records that when Bai Juyi first arrived in the capital, the poet ridiculed Bai Juyi's name and said: The price of rice is expensive, and it is easy to live.
It is said that Xuan'an is also the national capital, and it may be possible to say "Xuan'an is not easy to live".
However, with his current financial resources, even if Xuan'an's housing price is not cheap, he can still buy a good house in a slightly remote place, but he doesn't know that with his embarrassing identity, the procedure to change his residence is not troublesome.
Xuan'an City is also divided into the West Market and the East Market, the shops in the West Market are mostly for ordinary people to trade, while the East Market gathers dignitaries and nobles.
The distance between the two markets and the central street is actually about the same, and it was not artificially demarcated when they were first set up, but because most of the houses of the magnates were on the east side of the city, they were divided after a long time.
was walking on a winding path, Situ Xi suddenly saw Zhong Limo running towards him, he was holding a bag in his hand, and there were tear stains in the corners of his eyes, as if he had just cried.
"Didn't that help you?" Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Situ Xi thought that the prism he gave him had not worked, so he asked him out loud.
"It's not. Brother-in-law, that crystal works very well. My father took it in, thank you brother-in-law this time, I keep it in my heart, and I will repay you later. Today I also told my father and uncles that this prism is your credit, and I will not be greedy for credit. Zhong Limo came to Situ Xi and said with a forced smile.
"Then why do I see you looking sullen?"
"My father has a strange temper, and I don't know why I angered him today......" Speaking of this, Zhong Limo was a little aggrieved.
"Brother-in-law, this is the thank you gift that my mother promised you last time, it is a peace charm, she went out today, so she asked me to pass it on to you. It is said that it is from the temple.,Take this to the temple.,It seems that there will be some preferential treatment.,I don't know the specifics.,You take it first.。 Not wanting to mention the unhappy things again, Zhong Limo handed the bag in his hand to Situ Xi.
Near the temple, Situ Xi silently kept this name in his heart and put this bag in his pocket.
"Brother-in-law, I will finish my homework at home in the next few days, and when I have completed all the tasks assigned by my masters, I want to see if I can ask my mother to go to your and my sister's house, is it okay?"
"Naturally, I'm also preparing to buy a new house."
"By the way, Mo'er, I have something I want to bother you, I want to write a letter, please help me bring it to your mother." Situ Xi promised Fan Lao to help him ask Zhong Liwu if he was willing to see him in the past two days, but since Zhong Liwu was in a bad mood today, then forget it, let the eldest lady convey it to him first, anyway, the matter of raising food is not in a hurry.
"No problem."
……
After leaving the Huaiming Mansion, Situ Xi wandered in the market, he was going to go to the sake restaurant to have a look, and when it was time to eat, the pre-selection results of the Spring Food Party had come out for two days, and he happened to go to see if there was any good news from Lao Zhangtou.
At noon, the crowd on the street was crowded, the city was boiling, all kinds of vendors shouted non-stop, the loud guy pulled his throat, and he didn't feel tired, Situ Xi felt some tinnitus when he walked, so he turned around and entered an alley, remember that you can also go to Yupan Street from here, just a little around, but happy and clean.
"Good man, you sign ......"
Just entered this alley, Situ Xi suddenly heard a familiar voice, and looked at it, a long-bearded old Taoist was standing in front of his small stall that told the hexagram, and there was a personable boy standing in front of the stall, and the layout on the stall was so familiar, there would be no mistake, this sword-wielding Taoist was the old Taoist who told himself the fortune when he returned to the door that day, and it turned out that he had come here.
However, he said at the time that he would encounter some strange things in those two days, and now that he thinks about it, he did see blood that day, and it seems that there are really some situations that can be reluctantly called "strange things".
Could it be that he really has something?
With suspicion, Situ Xi came to his fortune-telling booth again, standing side by side with the boy who was asking for signs.
"This son, you also asked for a signature? The old way here has always been accurate, and it will definitely clear some fog for your fate. The old Taoist priest saw another guest, and he was secretly happy in his heart, he first talked to Situ Xi, and immediately beckoned him to shake the root and sign it out first, "It's just that the old Taoist is solving the puzzle for this good man at this time, and the son still needs to wait a while, but the son can shake this stick holder first, and the first wooden stick that fell from the hole is what you got today." ”
This Taoist priest didn't recognize himself, it seems that he has a lot of customers every day, and business is booming.
Without further ado, Situ Xi picked up the sticker, which was a nearly sealed cylindrical cylinder, with a small hole on the lower side and a lid on the upper side, so that people could not see the wooden sticks inside.
The second time he held the wooden cylinder in his hand, Situ Xi shook it, and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he saw his behavior, and at this moment, Situ Xi suddenly held the stick holder with both hands and twisted it violently.
With a "snap", the lid fell to the ground, and the old Taoist's smile froze.
