Chapter 158: Where I Want
The snow has fallen in Xianyang.
Ling Han's plum trees are sparsely planted in the streets of Qianmo, and the petals are like burning fires, rolling and falling on the pedestrians who come and go.
It brings a rare warmth to people on a cold day.
The people of Xianyang are rich in food and clothing.
The closer to the day of the first lunar month, the leaders of the Qianqian would dig out Qin Banliang from under the bed, in the latrine, and in the cave, and carry it on their bodies.
Those who were shouting or going up to the main city on foot or by donkey cart to buy some seeds, farm tools, salt, cloth and other daily necessities, and they were to prepare for spring planting.
This year.
It is a New Year unlike any other.
Bai Tao wore a hood, revealing a chin like a little jade cream, and stood in the square of the Vientiane Pavilion to look at the carved stone slab that was eight feet high.
Each carved plate is evenly engraved with words, boxy, and the plate is upright.
Arranged like a forest jungle.
There is no shortage of scholars around who have Qianshou and a little bit of knowledge, "Wonderful, wonderful, Qin Seal, it's really wonderful, look at this king character."
He stretched out his arms and craned his neck, "It's horizontal, like the hat on the king's head, does the king walk with his hands open?"
Think about it this way.
A few peasants were carrying farm tools, covered in mud, and wiped their faces, "Yes, you are right, this is how the king walks, swaggering, and majestic, but what about the emperor?"
"The Emperor.... It's a white hat on his head."
"Medium, medium!"
"Why do you want to wear a white hat?"
"Because ......," the man couldn't answer, "you can control it, the emperor of the people, you can wear whatever hat you want."
"Yes, yes."
The student paced and led the group of illiterate people, and then went to another place to explain, "Look at the truth of this truth, it is familiar, there is a king in it, why is this, do you know it, because the truth is all spoken by the king, don't reason with the king, the king himself is the truth."
"Look at this house again, is there a lid of a pot on the top, that is the roof, and there is a pig below, and you have raised the pig, and there is food in the house, and together this is the home."
"And this day.... Ouch, my day."
The student pointed, and was bumped into head-on by a little girl with two braids and a headscarf.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The little girl stood up straight and apologized respectfully, and then took out a string of Qin Ban Liang, "This gentleman, there is an ancient mirror at home, but I don't know the words on it. I just listened, you have a university ask, can you help take a look, I will give you all this money."
The student blew his beard and stared at the little girl.
Why is there no eyesight to see.
He enjoyed the pursuit and enjoyed it well, which turtle came to smash it with money?
However, the student's gaze was firmly glued to Qin Banliang in the girl's hand for a long time and did not let go, closed his eyes and pretended to say, "The one engraved in the mirror is the inscription, since I am a successor of knowledge, how can I collect money."
"That's good, sir."
Hurriedly took Qin Banliang into her arms, and the girl took out the bronze mirror.
「……!」
The green tendons on the student's forehead were so angry that they jumped into the sky, and they gritted their teeth and looked at the worn bronze mirror in her hand for a while.
scolded: "You are a girl's family, looking for this broken mirror, you will ask someone casually, do you think everyone has the leisure to teach a girl's family, you are still good to find a husband to marry yourself."
He was so angry.
The white peach is clear at a glance on the side.
I was afraid that this person was illiterate but it was not easy to wipe his face, so he questioned this little girl's family.
The ordinary little girl had already burst into tears and was ashamed to leave.
But this girl was obviously not, she took back her mirror and scolded, "I can't tell if you have long eyes, and what kind of broken mirror, what kind of thing with eyes without beads." You think you're here to put on a great score if you know a few more words, and you don't have any heirs
Learning, disgusting, disgusting, what are you wandering around here, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the threshold of this Vientiane Pavilion, yo - let you teach me to learn and find a husband to marry."
"Yo yo yo! What kind of heart are you who eat salty turnips, no wonder you can't get in the threshold, because you dog! Eye! See! Person! Low!"
After scolding.
Even the bustling, south-to-north Xianyang Street is strangely quiet.
The little girl turned her head effortlessly, stood there and shook her legs.
In the next moment, she carried a cloth bag to find the gap in the flow of white peach and rushed over, and the two thick braids were scraped back, and it seemed that she also wanted to slip away.
The student clenched his fists and looked fierce.
I can't wait to tear her to pieces, this kind of street humiliation is even more of a fatal blow to the strong blow that Vientiane Pavilion has received, not to mention that there is no shortage of students from Vientiane Pavilion here to watch.
"Don't go!"
There are all carved stone slabs here, the gaps in the carved stone slabs are limited and there are crowds of people, and the space for running is really limited, when the student was about to catch the little girl, the guard next to Bai Tao clamped the hand of the scholar.
The student's pale face and lips trembled, and he hurriedly retreated.
The little girl saw that someone had relieved her of the siege, and shuttled through the carved stone slabs to look left and right at the white peach.
As Bai Tao was about to leave, she jumped over, the ends of her braids flicking up, and raising her wet broken hair, "Whew, thank you."
She is smart, clean and delicate.
Bai Tao said, "It's okay."
"Are you literate?"
The little girl intuitively felt that she was extraordinary, after all, the beads on her hat were so big, so big that they were dazzling, and they were dressed differently, and there were two cold guards by her side.
She herself wore only a rag skirt and a faded headscarf from farming.
Seeing that Bai Tao didn't answer, she waved her hand and said happily, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not literate, the people in the village are illiterate, that word is hard to recognize, and there are so many strange things."
Taking a step, the little girl is about to go.
Just look at the noble girl with an extraordinary identity before meeting her, raising her head, revealing her eyes, as if the gods of heaven were majestic in their skirts, stepping on the sun, shining in all directions to the mortal world.
The little girl opened her mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time.
"Tick."
Saliva flowed, she quickly stretched out her sleeve and wiped her chin, her eyes floating to hide it, "I might... I'm hungry."
"I will." Bai Tao said, "I can read."
"How much do you know?"
"Vientiane Pavilion has a collection of rare books."
Vientiane Pavilion collects the royal family of the world, and the folk are hidden, which is a treasure house containing countless gold, and the ancient books there are inexhaustible for several lifetimes.
The little girl didn't know what it meant. She only knew whether the grain in the field had been harvested or not.
Is it over or not.
She nodded and took out the mirror from her arms, "Then you know the words on this mirror.... Inscriptions? I came thousands of miles to Xianyang, just to find a literate question, by the way... By the way, let's see if I can find some work to do and eat."
The mirror in my hand has a sense of clumsiness.
The white peach can't show his own appearance.
Flipping over, Bai Tao's hand caressed these ancient patterns, and the back of the mirror was painted with Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, Xuanyuan gods and cirrus grass patterns, and you could feel that this was the stuff of Fang Shi.
It's all a monster hunting spell.
However, if the little girl who has no magic wants to cast it, she must take the number of lives.
Bai Tao handed the mirror back to her: "It says wealth and health, and I think about it."
"It turns out... That's what it means."
The puzzle that had puzzled her for more than ten years was solved, and the little girl's shoulders were loosened, and she hurriedly said thank you, "Thank you, thank you, I really don't know how to say thank you, my name is Fang Xiaoxue, what about you?"
"My name is White Peach."
"The white peach
Sister, you said that you have seen the eighty percent of the treasured classics of the Vientiane Pavilion, so are you a disciple here?"
Fang Xiaoxue turned her head and looked at this huge temple with admiration, "To be able to live in it, read books every day and don't have to do anything, how carefree it should be, are the people in it very rich, and can they still see the emperor."
She said to Bai Tao again, "That Sister Bai Tao, those who can live in it are all learning."
"Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Moism, Soldiers, Farmers, Vertical and Horizontal Families, Yin and Yang Families, Farmers, Doctors, and all kinds of miscellaneous families."
The more Fang Xiaoxue listened, the more confused she became.
Bai Tao looked at the big gold characters and said: "In the past, this place was called the Astronomical Pavilion, and later it was called the Vientiane Pavilion, which means all-encompassing, Mount Tai does not refuse every grain of soil, so it can go straight into the sky, and the rivers and seas are not picky about small tributaries, so they can live endlessly, and they will never refuse any aspiring people here."
"It's amazing, it's all-encompassing... What do you mean?" Fang Xiaoxue put a shed on her eyebrows with her palm, and looked at it with her feet.
She didn't know a word, she just thought that the gold was very valuable, "Which one does the emperor like?"
"Legalist."
"Legalist? Do you have to know how to spell?"
Fang Xiaoxue listened to the whole person lit up, maybe she was really a descendant of a certain Fang Shi family, Bai Tao didn't care anymore, pursed her lips and smiled, "Maybe you have to know a little."
Get an affirmative answer.
Fang Xiaoxue's eyes lit up, and a dark foundation surfaced, touched the bronze mirror in his hand and said, "It seems that I don't even have this way of wealth and wealth, alas, the wealth and health written on it will not be true."
"If you believe, it will be true."
"Really, really?"
Fang Xiaoxue was flattered and held the mirror and closed her eyes, "Then I have to make a New Year's wish quickly, Mirror Mirror, you must help me realize it." He cleared his throat and said, "Then I'm going to be rich, rich, super rich this year!"
Lifting one eye, she saw that Bai Tao was still tilting her head to look at her.
Like a cute little beast.
Fang Xiaoxue shook her head, shook off the weird feeling, and stood away with the mirror in her hand, "Sister Bai Tao, you should also hurry up and make a wish, if you have anything to want, say it quickly."
Bai Tao continued to tilt her head.
If she was a mortal who was white and old, she might refuse such a childish and embarrassing act in front of the stone monument where people came and went.
But she's just a little fox, alas.
The head wearing the hood was slightly lowered, and the lips of the little fox under the burning treasure light were incomprehensible, one by one, holding the claws, "Mirror, mirror, I hope Brother can come back to me."
After speaking, he bowed three times in the mirror.
"Okay, Sister Bai Tao, Brother Bai will definitely be able to return to you soon!"
The smile on Fang Xiaoxue's face was boldly revealed, "After all, what I miss is here."
