In the palace, in the Qingming Palace.

The national teacher looked helpless: "Your Majesty asked Poor Dao to stay in front of the civil and military ministers, and those Qingliu saw it, and I am afraid that I will attack Poor Dao again to bewitch Your Majesty." ”

"Are the national teachers still afraid of them?"

"People's words are terrifying, it is a matter of life and posthumous name, although the poor road does not seek to be remembered for a hundred years, but also does not want to leave a stench for thousands of years."

"Hehehe......"

The Emperor smiled casually, took a sip of tea, and then turned his head to look outside.

Through the gauze curtains, you can see a little greenery.

There are not many plants in the palace, and I am afraid that it will become a hiding place for villains and monsters, but last night rain, some of the few plant embellishments have also been significantly taller and greener. In the bluestone slab, it should be a bird or a grass seed blown by the wind, and some grass sprouts have also grown, and there are eunuchs and palace maids cleaning up.

"This morning, the court said that last night there was rain from the sky, and there were visions in the grass and trees outside the city, Wei Shangshu said that it was an auspicious image, and I looked at the national teacher at that time, and the national teacher seemed to know the reason?"

"What Wei Shangshu said is true, Your Majesty is an emperor who has never been seen in thousands of years, and it is normal for auspicious clouds to fall from the sky."

"Doesn't the national teacher want to reveal it?"

"It's hard to say that it's poor."

"Why can't you say it?"

"Poor Dao is just speculation."

"Then let's talk about speculation."

"This speculation is a real speculation, because even if it is poor, it can't be counted as the reason." The national teacher whispered, "It's just that sometimes it can't be calculated, and it is equivalent to being calculated." ”

"It's just you and me here, don't sell it."

"The descendants of Fulongguan's generation have arrived in Changjing."

"Oh?"

The emperor thought for a moment before he remembered.

Then his expression couldn't help but freeze.

As an emperor, he has heard the name of Fulongguan, not only has he heard of it, but he is also closely related to Fulongguan.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was already divided, the princes everywhere were fighting, warlords were everywhere, demons were raging, and gods were confronted. The ancestors of Dayan are regarded as one of the big forces, and they are considered virtuous among the big forces, and they gradually won the hearts of the people. It is recorded that Taizu of this dynasty was helped by a Taoist for a few years, and it was in those years that the demons of the Quartet were killed, and the lower realm of the gods of the previous dynasty was also pacified.

I don't know what the future generations will be, looking at the ancients in front of them, there is really no dynasty where the people have lived better than Dayan.

By a hundred years ago, Dayan had gradually weakened, the population had increased dramatically, the land was not enough to feed the people of the world, the phenomenon of troubled times had appeared, and even people in the north had raised troops to rebel, and the forces of the Quartet were ready to move. I heard that it was also a Taoist who couldn't bear to see the world fall into war again, displaced, and offered many clever plans, and He Gong stepped forward, so he welcomed Zhongxing again, and even had another victory now.

"How does the national teacher know?"

"Yunding Mountain's Cui Nanxi encounter with immortals, Poor Dao was really curious, so he went to investigate, and found the traces of the descendants of Fulongguan descending the mountain from many folk rumors."

"Genting Mountain!"

The Emperor's eyes widened suddenly.

At that time, when I heard about the encounter with immortals in Yunding Mountain, I did not associate it with Fulongguan. Maybe it's been nearly a hundred years since the last time the monk of Fulongguan appeared in front of the royal family, and he hasn't heard of it for a long time, or maybe it's because the immortal miracles of one night and one year are too amazing, so he thinks that it is the work of the real immortals, and the monks of Fulongguan can't do it.

"How did the national teacher know that he had arrived in Changjing?" The emperor thought for a while, "Could it be that Changjing City is ......?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Last Night'......"

"Poor Dao guesses, most of them are also his handiwork."

“……”

The Emperor's eyes were still wide open.

"Yunding Mountain has been a miracle for a year overnight, and now it is auspicious from the sky, nourishing all things around the capital, is it true that the monks of Fulongguan are really immortals?"

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Poor Dao only met that person yesterday."

"The national teacher has seen that?"

"Chances."

"What does he look like? What did the national teacher say to him? ”

"Poor Dao invited him to the stargazing tower, drank a few cups of tea, and talked about some things about the underworld." The national teacher said, "When we met for the first time, it was not easy to talk in detail, so I had to talk about the general trend of the world." ”

"The national teacher talked to him about the underworld?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Fulongguan has never coveted these. Since condensing the underworld is the trend of the times, even if they don't help them, they won't disobey the will of the people of Heaven and Dao. The national teacher said, "What's more, even children know about the reincarnation of the underworld, if they really have any ideas, they will not be bad at talking about it." ”

"What does that guy think?"

"It seems that I only want to be a spectator."

"Since the national teacher can talk to him, can I invite him to the palace for a while?"

"I don't know where he lives."

"The national teacher thinks ......"

"Fu Longguan has a free and natural nature, and he talked with that person for half an afternoon, only to feel that he was even more casual. Although His Majesty is the emperor, if you want to get acquainted with him, it is better to go with the flow. ”

"What does the national teacher think it means to go with the flow?"

"Your Majesty doesn't go out of his way to look for it, and if you meet him one day, you can naturally ask him to talk about it."

"It's fine."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Continue to raise a glass of tea, amazed and envious in my heart.

"However, some of the descendants of Fulongguan have a strong temperament, and some of the descendants of Fulongguan like to punish the strong and help the weak, subdue demons and eliminate demons, Your Majesty, some people in the court bully the weak and are lawless, and some people even connive at the demons in the city to cause chaos, so as to eliminate dissidents, in order to avoid offending people and immortals, Your Majesty should still have more restraints."

"Thank you for the reminder."

The emperor's expression was faint, and he naturally knew what he was talking about.

There are indeed some arrogant and domineering people in the DPRK, but what the national teacher is talking about are some people in the DPRK and China, if they are really ordinary officials in the DPRK and China, the national teacher will be restrained, where will they mention themselves like this.

He is a person with the same surname as him.

No matter how powerful Fulongguan is, he will not easily destroy the royal family, but it does not mean that they will be afraid of imperial power. The imperial power only governs the people of the world, regardless of the people on the mountain. is the national teacher in front of him who is Fengtianguan of Luming Mountain, and he still dares to vaguely mention himself to restrain future generations, not to mention immortals who have the ability to be immortals.

……

A bronze mirror was placed in front of the little girl.

What is reflected in the mirror is a white and tender girl's face, the girl has no expression, but has a pair of extremely smart eyes, and two small balls on her head.

The person outside the mirror looks at the person in the mirror, and the person in the mirror looks at the person outside the mirror, all of them are shocked.

opened his round eyes, subconsciously tilted his head back a little, and was shocked again when he realized that the other party was acting the same as himself. Until they saw it clearly, there was a touch of doubt in their eyes, and the two little girls tilted their heads at the same time to look at each other, and their eyes gradually turned from doubt to novelty.

From time to time, I raised my eyes and glanced at the person standing in front of me.

"How?"

The Taoist put away the mirror in his hand.

“！”

The little girl stared at him and did not speak.

"You seem to like it."

As he spoke, the Taoist raised his mirror and looked at himself in his glasses.

Unlike the yellowed copper mirror that I often saw in costume TV dramas in my previous life, this mirror is not yellowed, the surface is extremely flat and smooth, silver-white metal, and the figure reflected is not much inferior to the mirror in later generations, regardless of color and luster.

In the mirror is a young Taoist, and it is also a stranger to him.

"How much?"

"A fixed price! Five hundred texts! ”

"It's expensive."

"This mirror is made of copper with the handle, and if you look at the workmanship, polishing, and thickness, and weigh the weight, you will know that this price is really not expensive. If you don't believe me, you can go to another store and ask, it's all the same. ”

"Can you lose some?"

"I really can't reduce it, the mirror you look at is small, and it doesn't make any money in itself. If you buy this larger one, which originally sold for 800 Wen, the villain can give you a cheaper price, or buy this wooden handle, which is also a good wood, and this one saves some copper and sells it for 400 Wen. ”

“……”

Song You took the mirror and looked it up and down.

This is a round mirror, the mirror is about the size of an ordinary dinner bowl, this size is appropriate, no matter how small it is, it is not easy to shine, and if it is big, it is inconvenient to take it away when you leave Changjing.

There is a delicate grip attached to the bottom of the mirror, and the previous mirrors rarely had handles, because those who could afford it were dignitaries, they didn't need to hold the mirror themselves, someone would hold it for them, and a large number of mirrors with handles showed that it had entered the homes of ordinary people.

There is a cloud pattern on the back, and two lines of words are written-

See the light of the day, never forget.

Song You picked up the other side of the same one, the words on the back were different, and it was written-

Seeing the light of the day, Changle Weiyang.

This side is better.

"Less."

"Guest Officer ......"

Four hundred and fifty deals.

Song You counted the money, handed it to the shopkeeper, and then took the mirror and looked at it carefully, it was really heavy in his hand, the materials were solid, and if it was kept properly, it might be used for many years.

Maybe it will last for a thousand years.

If it is discovered by future generations and put into the exhibition hall, I don't know how many men, women and children will walk in front of it and get close to it to take a closer look.

"Heh......"

The Taoist laughed, took the bronze mirror, and handed it to the girl next to him: "With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly." Sanhua Niangniang will know what she looks like in the future. However, this mirror is very expensive, please cherish it when you use it, don't make it flowery, otherwise the person who will shine it will be spent. ”

The little girl held up the mirror and did not answer, but followed him while looking.

This is really a small mirror, and the Taoist holds it in one hand, but the little girl is too small, and her face is small and her hands are small, but she has to hold it with both hands to look coordinated.

After walking not far, I saw a ceramic seller again.

It seems to be a kiln porcelain shop.

As soon as Song You walked over, he saw a lot of porcelain, cups, bowls, bottles and pots, most of which were exquisitely made, and also had the characteristics of kiln porcelain-

It's not blue and white, it's exquisite.

Blue and white porcelain with a white background, light and elegant, very pleasing to the literati of Dayan. Exquisite porcelain is transparent but not leaky, crystal elegant, there are many people like to play, exquisite porcelain is especially suitable for drinking tea, the teacup is often carved out of exquisite hollow patterns by skilled craftsmen, the pattern is like glass, will reveal the color of tea, help to enjoy tea.

At this time, there were a few people with exotic faces in the store shopping, and I often heard their exclamatory voices, and the shopkeeper explained to them, and it seemed that he couldn't take care of Song You for a while.

Song You didn't care, he carefully picked up a tea bowl and put it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.

Ceramics are really an important step in civilization.

However, with the development of society, people have fired ceramics not only for the convenience of life, but also for viewing, collecting, the pursuit of skills, aesthetic expression and sacrifice, so in the material attributes have given it another spiritual attribute, when the civilization is more and more developed, the spiritual attributes are more and more heavy.

Chengyao is the pinnacle of ceramics in this era.

Take a closer look at the small tea bowl in front of you-

The white porcelain body is hollowed out of the bamboo leaf pattern, delicate and elegant, raised to the skylight, the bamboo leaf pattern is more obvious, as if it is hollow.

It's like white porcelain with glass embedded in it.

"This is the fine exquisite porcelain produced by our kiln. Don't look at a small tea bowl, it is not easy to make, not only to have good ceramic skills, but also to have good carving skills, carved just the right pattern on the embryo, and then many times glaze to fill the loopholes, and with a special method of firing casting, a slight difference in the pool, is not cracking, is not good light transmission. The shopkeeper had already sent away the customers from the foreign land, and said to him, "The guest officer has a unique vision, and this piece you are taking is also a fine product in our store." ”

"How much?"

"It depends on how the guest officer buys it, whether he buys one alone or as a set, or whether he wants to match something else."

“……”

Song You picked up another one.

I don't know if it's a tea bowl or what kind of bowl, the opening is larger than the previous one, and it's lower, closer to the bowl for eating. The hollow pattern on its body has changed from bamboo leaves to broken flowers, and there are more azure lines between the broken flowers.

"The guest officer really has a good eye." The shopkeeper immediately said, "This is a combination of exquisite porcelain and blue and white porcelain, the long of blue and white skills, the wonder of carving and carving art, and the slow appreciation of the lamp at night, which is even more wonderful." ”

"How much does this cost?"

"Guest Officer ......"

"Just buy one."

"Just one?"

"Let's buy it and see it first."

"We generally sell in sets, at least one teapot and four teacups, and sell them for six taels of silver." The shopkeeper said, "Don't look at the nobles, whether it is dignitaries and dignitaries, princes and generals, they all like it very much, even people from foreign lands often can't put it down." Some people who are active in their minds buy a set and go back and dedicate it to their king or master, even if they can't change officials, they can get a lot of wealth. ”

"How much?"

"Accept you...... A tael of silver, make a friend. The shopkeeper glanced at him, "Since the guest officer said that he would buy it back first, the villain does not make money from the guest officer, and if the guest officer goes back to play if he likes it, he will take care of the villain's business. ”

Song You took the handle and looked at it carefully.

The floral pattern is more delicate than broken rice, but it is also fresh and elegant, not tacky. The simple blue and white depictions, like the leaves of broken flowers, complement each other and blend perfectly.

Song You was not only secretly amazed by the craftsmanship, but also amazed by its exquisite elegance.

I really want to buy a set and go back to eat and drink tea.

It's a pity that there isn't enough money.

Then you can only buy one.

If you buy one, you can even have one.

And if you buy only one, this bowl is undoubtedly better than the one just now.

Song You glanced at Sanhua Niangniang.

The bowl just now was too high and deep for cats, but this one is suitable, the opening is large and shallow, and there are no shortcomings except for fragility.

As long as she knows that this thing is very expensive, she has to catch a lot of rats to get it back, and I am afraid that even if she accidentally drops it, she will catch it before it falls to the ground.

"Cheaper."

"This ......"

A thousand dollars to take it down.

Song You paid and looked to the side with the bowl.

The little girl had been standing at the door of the store waiting for him, holding the mirror with one hand and the other high, and had been touching the little ball on her head, cautious and full of curiosity, as if she was not sure that this thing was growing on her head, and as if she was afraid of touching it away, she seemed to be concentrating and indulging in it.

I think she is used to it, and she is no longer surprised by the mirror and the person in the mirror.

"Sanhua Niangniang."

"Huh?"

The little girl rolled her eyes to look at him, but before she could breathe, she quickly turned her eyes back, peeked at the person in the mirror, and was surprised to find that she was as fast as herself.

"This is a bowl bought for you, and when we go out later, you will use it to eat."

"You bought it for me, too?"

"Yes."

"Is there only one?"

"Hmm."

"Then you don't have one?"

"I'm ......"

Song You thought for a while before saying, "Then I'll buy two steamed buns to eat when I'm done shopping." ”

"Okay!"

"Go ......"

The Taoist walked forward.

The little girl held a bronze mirror in one hand and a small bowl of delicate and elegant blue and white in the other, and followed him, sometimes looking down at the mirror, sometimes looking down at the small bowl.

There are many people around him, and there are many shops on both sides.

This is West Market.

One of the two cities of East and West.

In Dayan, the fang market system has been abolished, there are shops everywhere in the city, and all can set up stalls, but the merchants themselves have a concentration, and the north and south cities of the previous dynasty have almost been abandoned, but the east and west cities have become more and more prosperous with the development of the commercial economy, and have become a must in Changjing.

Since there are many officials and dignitaries in the eastern city, and there are many poor people and people in the western region in the western city, the things sold in the eastern and western markets are also different.

The East Market sells more luxury goods, expensive things.

The western market mostly sells things used by the common people, in addition to selling spices from the Western Regions, silk and porcelain.

At this time, walking through it, there are sounds of selling in my ears, there are also bargaining sounds, and there are all kinds of people in front of me, and there are all kinds of shops and stalls, the prosperity of the world, and the people's livelihood, all in this.

Song You slowly walked out of the West Market, but saw a group of people surrounded by the bulletin board at the door.

When I walked over, I saw a new notice posted on it.

It is to explain the vision of Changjing last night.

The gist of it is that when today's son is conscientious and conscientious, the country will be governed to prosperity and strength, and the court is also a clear and clear court, and the past dynasties are not as good as this dynasty. God is grateful for the saint and virtuous virtue of His Majesty the Emperor, so the sky is auspicious, this is the luck of Changjing, the luck of Dayan, so that the people should not be surprised.

Song You saw it, but smiled.
