It's a pity that there are only five words, and it seems that this is not enough to entertain...... His Majesty the Emperor took the hand of the important son and said with emotion, his face was full of regret, "And others dare not say it in front of Lian, don't you know that if you want to say the level of appreciation and analysis...... There are still couplets, but it's a little annoying to talk about the kung fu of sketching and copying."

"I tried it with the double hook method last night, and I found that I couldn't copy the five-character charm" The queen smiled and came up with an idea: "If Your Majesty really likes it, why not let the ministers of the court and the central government try it."

The emperor patted the back of her hand, laughed heartily, shook his head and said: "Look at it, or you understand the mind of the couplet, I have left those old guys behind after the previous court meeting, and at this time I was in the royal room to copy, and the union told them, whether it is the youngest granddaughter in the family who is one year old or married to a daughter-in-law, if you can't make up the five words out of thin air, the union is not willing to let them go."

In order to bloom the five characters of the other side, there are a lot of fun and helplessness in the palace of the Tang Empire, but no matter how much the Son of Heaven loves this, but after all, it is just some leisure and fun, in order to avoid being nagged by those imperial histories, His Majesty the Emperor did not use the official institutions in the court, but sent people from the palace to quietly look for them in Chang'an City, and told some courtiers who got along well, and ordered them to help inquire among the people

A few months have passed, the most famous painting shops in Chang'an City have been searched, and the most famous ** family in the Tang Dynasty has been called to the palace to ask quietly, but still has not found the mysterious home, and even those protégés of countless famous ** families can't even understand the pen and ink style of these five words

The main reason for the current situation is that people's mindset is reverent

From the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to those old ministers of the court who were deceived into copying in the imperial room, and then to those folk ** families, from the first glance of the scroll, they were amazed by the round and spicy brush, the straight and broad structure, the charming and arrogant ink potential, and the smart and elegant charm In their opinion, this mysterious person must be a hidden man who has been immersed in the Tao for decades, and the characters who can have such wonderful skills of ink scrolls, even if they are hidden in the people, must be in those heirlooms for hundreds of years in the family shop silent practice, and it is impossible to set up a stall on the street to sell words

It is precisely because of such preconceived ideas that no one wants to go to Xiangfang to ask those poor character sellers, and no one wants to go to the common alleys to ask if there are any new painting shops, and naturally no one can associate the words that caused the turmoil in the imperial house with the obscure old pen shop in Lane 47

One day, several tourists from the Great River Country, after visiting the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City from afar, crossed the short street and came to the 47th Lane of the East City, and walked into the very ordinary painting shop at the entrance of the alley

They put their hands behind them, looking at the ordinary scrolls hanging on the wall, they couldn't help frowning and shaking their heads, and when they saw a certain central hall, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they exclaimed: "The Tang Dynasty Chang'an really hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, and any store on the street can actually hide a very good ink painting...... That little girl, where is your boss?"

Sang Sang was eating a bowl of shredded chicken noodles with a mouthful of food, listening to someone shouting, raised her slightly dark little face, and replied with a smile: "The boss is not here, if you ask the price, the price of this Zhongtang is 3,000 gold, not the second price."

An ordinary middle hall is worth 3,000 gold, and it is specially explained that it is not worth two prices, what kind of style is this? This must be the style of the ink scroll left by Mr. Shengwang of the Great River Country in his heyday! When the tourists from the Great River Country were stunned when they heard this, they laughed angrily, and they didn't bother to say anything more, so they threw down a sentence and brushed their sleeves away

"It is said that Chang'an people are generous and hospitable...... I think this Chang'an person is poor and crazy!"

As someone and a little maid have more and more silver tickets on their waists, and someone's ink rolls are sold more and more expensive, until they are unreasonable, these days, Lao Bizhai can often see the shocked and speechless expressions of the guests, and can often hear the reprimands of the guests before leaving angrily

Sang Sang was already familiar with this kind of picture to the point that she was even a little numb, lowered her head and continued to eat shredded chicken noodles, and now she finally understood that although a bowl of shredded chicken noodles could buy six bowls of hot and sour noodle soup, the chicken soup with oil beads was really fragrant

Ning Que played with two smooth silver balls cast from silver in his hands, drilled out of the back house, and leaned at the door of the shop like a second ancestor, looking at the backs of those guests in the middle of the alley in the distance, he didn't lower the consciousness of the people of Chang'an, and said with a smile: "If you can't afford it, don't ask the price, Sangsang...... Close, hot pot!"

Spring goes to autumn and comes to the winter solstice, and it is already the deep winter of the thirteenth year of the Tang Dynasty, and Ning Que and Sangsang have been in Chang'an City for almost a year

These days, he studied in the courtyard, was deliberately forgotten by his classmates and quieted, and had more time to practice and chat with Chen Pipi, Sang Sang stayed in Linforty-seventh Lane every day to take care of the shop where the business was getting worse and worse, and occasionally he would go to the princess's mansion at the invitation of Li Zha, and the two became more and more familiar with the growing friendship between Her Royal Highness the princess and the little maid, Ning Que didn't figure it out, and in the end it could only be attributed to each other's eyes

After eating a mellow and sweaty hot pot, he luxuriously soaked four plates of fresh-cut mutton, scalded his feet, and calmly got into the quilt, listened to the whining wind between the windows, rubbed his somewhat cool face, and said angrily: "It hasn't snowed all the time, why is the weather so cold? Chang'an City is difficult to endure in summer? Who is irreresponsible to make the conclusion?"

Sang Sang smiled, took off his coat and got into the quilt at the other end, took his little hand that was red from the laundry water, and said, "Young master, you are content, we are much better now than when we were in the city."

This is a very sincere comment Now there are more than 10,000 taels of silver tickets hidden under the bed of the master and servant, and they have to take a large amount of dividends from the gambling house in Xicheng every month, in the subtext of the two people's hearts, that is: We are not bad for money now, too rich, too rich......

Since there is so much money, it must be used to improve life, although the master and servant are still thrifty, but it is always easy to go from thrift to luxury, the hot and sour noodles have been replaced by the original soup chicken shredded noodles, and the pickle porridge has become shabu mutton, a few days ago it was very cold, they even rebuilt a north kang in the house, now it is burning silver charcoal, drinking new tea, the house is warm like spring, compared with the life of more than ten years ago, now this day is simply wonderful not like the world

Ning Que complained about the dry and cold winter in Chang'an City, and it was nothing more than that

Now that he can finally see that mysterious cultivation world, he can control the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi with his mental power, turn the silver ball in his hand, and lift the paper on the table as he wants, well, although because the mental power that can output outside the body is too weak, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that can be controlled is too thin, so the paper flies more messily than a feather, and the silver ball turns more slowly than Chen Pipi's movements, but he really can't find anything dissatisfied

Outside the window, the north wind is getting tighter...... The night spear said that in the past, the first: I woke up in the early morning, only to see the endless snow covering the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, the buildings of the palace city, the trees covered in silver makeup quietly poked out of the streets and alleys to look at the pedestrians Ning Que put on a jacket, and Sangsang stood side by side at the door of the old bizhai, looking at this beautiful scenery, thinking about the encounters and lives of the past year, and actually saw a new meaning to the snow that he was tired of seeing in Weicheng

"What a good day," he exclaimed with satisfaction

Sang Sang smiled beside him and nodded

Living quietly and beautifully in Chang'an City, without the blood of revenge, without the depression of unattainable suffering, spending time back and forth between one person's courtyard and two people's old pen fast, the master and servant gradually grew up, and then gradually forgotten by the people around them, so they willingly disappeared in these beautiful little days

She was doing needlework and washing the dishes and chopsticks, he was writing and looking at the books copied from the old building, and in this seemingly monotonous repetition, the hour hand began to turn again, and time slipped away gently, the winter solstice and the New Year and the Lantern Festival slipped away in the bustle, the hot tea and ink of the mutton slipped away in the tranquility, and in a blink of an eye it was another spring in the fourteenth year of the Apocalypse

It's spring again, the catkins are floating all over the sky, and the plump bodies of the Chang'an women who have been restrained by cotton jackets and fur fur for a whole winter finally have a chance to breathe, looking at the girls who are shivering in the early spring breeze but want to open their minds to reveal their white tenderness, Ning Que, who opened the curtains all the way, went to the hospital with appreciation and gratitude

After nodding to Situ Yilan, who was sitting in the front row, he walked to his own table at the back, no other classmates would talk to him, and no one would even look at him, for this kind of ignorance and indifference, he had long been accustomed to it, he didn't care, and after sitting down, he took out the lesson plan and began to review

Today's noon is the Rite Department, and the Rite Science Teaching in the Rain House of the Courtyard is Cao Zhifeng, an associate professor of the Rite Section, and it is also the Yan Guo Cave Xuan Realm Great Nian Master who beat the general's grandson Chu Zhongtian into a pig's head on the day the academy opened

The bell rang quietly, and Associate Professor Cao Zhifeng walked in slowly, which made Bingshe feel a little strange that Mr. changed his cold and strict appearance today, and there was a hint of joy hidden between his old eyebrows

Then something happened that surprised all living beings even more

Deputy Professor Cao Zhifeng looked at the students in the audience and muttered for a moment when the students thought that he would put down the heavy book in his armpits, and then began to criticize routinely, only to see him cough lightly twice, stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and flicked a few times in the air, and then said with a positive color: "Today, the vitality of heaven and earth has changed, so it is not suitable for class, after school."

After saying this, Deputy Teacher Cao Zhifeng turned around and left the dormitory without hesitation, leaving a room full of students who were speechless with their mouths wide open, and then a sudden burst of sky-high discussions

"What's going on? Professor him...... What's wrong with him?"

"Is he sick?"

"If you are sick, you will ask for sick leave from the hospital, how can you play this trick? What is the change of the vitality of heaven and earth today? The vitality of heaven and earth is changing all the time, and it is not a genius who suddenly begins to change!"

"Damn, this trick is really rooted, can we use this trick if we don't want to take classes in the future?"

Zhu Youxian gently bumped Ning Que's shoulder, and said incredulously: "What kind of madness did Lao Cao suffer from today?"

"Where do I know" Ning Que was also extremely puzzled, but it was better for him not to have classes, he could have more time to go to the old building, looking at the etiquette lesson plan that had just been spread out on the table, he thought to himself that he had to spend energy to tidy up last night, shook his head and started to leave

At this moment, I don't know who is in front of the house and said: "Didn't you see the joy that Professor Cao's face couldn't hide just now? That's because there is a big man coming to Chang'an City today, and Mr. Professor is in a hurry to go out of the city to greet him, so he will force such a boring excuse."

"What big man would make Lao Cao so excited? I remember that on the day of the next winter solstice, the Ministry of Rites Shang came to give the teachers and trainees condolences money, three hundred taels of silver!

"People who break the country will inevitably have some grievances, your statement is too unkind" The student in front of him said with a smile: "As for who this big man is today, why he can make Cao Jiaotou so excited, in fact, it has something to do with these things, you must know that although Professor Cao is a senior teacher of the academy, you should not forget that he is a Yan man first."

"What's that saying?"

"The big man who is coming to Chang'an City today is the prince of Longqing of Yan Kingdom, how can Professor Cao not be excited?"

"Who believes this? If you are nostalgic for your homeland and want to see the royal family of your homeland, you will be excited, but Prince Yan has been a guest in Chang'an City, why didn't you see Lao Cao go to the city every day to ask for peace and see you?"

"Something I don't know"

Zhu You listened closely to the argument in front of him, leaned over to Ning Que's side and said in a low voice: "Prince Yan is just a hostage, how can he be compared with Prince Longqing, you must know that for the Yan people, who have been suppressed by my Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, they have long regarded Prince Longqing as the last hope for revival, Lao Cao knows that he is coming, how can he not be excited?"

"Prince Longqing?" Yu Que asked curiously, "Is it Prince Yan's brother?"

"My Brother"

Ning Que frowned and said, "Then why would the Yan people put the hope of the revival of the Yan Kingdom here...... Even if Emperor Yan dies in the future, it should be Prince Yan who will succeed him."

"This is the problem, as far as I know, the vast majority of people in the Yan Kingdom do not agree with the succession of the Yan Prince, but think that the Longqing Emperor should succeed the immortals...... Many people think that Prince Longqing is an unborn genius

Hearing the five words of the immortal genius, Ning Que's frowning brows relaxed...... Face-to-face ...... He said with a smile: "This is also a genius, that is also a genius, I have been in Chang'an City for less than a year, I am really tired of hearing these two words, if the genius is really unborn, there may not be too many in this apocalypse."

"Wow......" Zhu Youxian looked at it and joked: "I see that you are silent and calm on weekdays, and I thought that you didn't care about the incident that day, and I didn't care about the attitude of your classmates towards you, but I didn't expect you to remember it, and you are very disdainful of geniuses like Xie Chengyun, but you have to know that Prince Longqing is not Xie Chengyun."

Ning Que stopped what he was doing and looked at him, waiting to hear what was going on

"Prince Longqing, that's a real genius," Skirt Yuxian said seriously

"You are real nonsense," Ning Que said angrily, and then listened to the discussion in front of him and was slightly stunned

The four words of Prince Longqing caused many exclamations full of shock and admiration in the house, and then there was a lot of discussion, there are very few people like Ning Que who have lived in the border for a long time and have never heard of this name at all, but there are still some people who have the same questions as him, what kind of character is Prince Longqing, who can make Yan people bet on him the hope of the rejuvenation of his family and country, and can make people like Professor Cao Zhifeng excited and lose his temper like this?

"Although he is the prince of Yan Kingdom, since his brother was sent to Chang'an City as a hostage, he was sent by the royal family of Yan Kingdom to travel and study in all countries under heaven, and lived in the Yuelun Country and the Southern Jin Dynasty for several months, and then entered the Xiling Divine Kingdom Hao Tiandaomen Tianyu Academy to study, and became the first place in the first year of admission."

If it is said that the world's longest-standing and most prestigious and highest-status and most respected courtyard, there is no doubt that it is of course this courtyard in the south of Chang'an City, but in addition, each country also has its own prefectural academy, the Tianyu Academy of the Xiling Divine Kingdom is personally taught by the priests of the temple, which can be called the best, and it is naturally extraordinary to be able to take the lead in this kind of place, but this alone does not explain too much, at least it cannot deter these proud students in the hospital

"The prince of Longqing entered the third year of the Heavenly Decree Academy, he went to various places with his classmates to preach, in the autumn of that year in the Washan Rotten Ke Temple, the Heavenly Decree Academy taught and practiced with the great virtue of Buddhism and retreated, the Prince of Longqing smiled and got forward, and the seven sons of the Buddha Sect debated for three days and three nights, won seven games in a row, and even let the big disciples of the Rotten Ke Temple vomit blood and fell to the ground, and finally provoked the Rotten Ke Temple Elder to ring the bell to speak, he smiled and shut up, and returned to the Rotten Ke Temple Elder praised him for his knowledge, petal talent is unique, if he can enter the Buddha's door, but ten years will be able to turn the wonderful meaning of the Ming Wheel, and can be led to the place where he can't"

"How could the Xiling Divine Temple allow the Buddha Sect to snatch away his proud disciple? In the fourth year of the Emperor Longqing's entry into the Heavenly Oracle Academy, Haotian Zhangjiao respected and accepted him as a personal disciple, and even let him start to learn how to deal with the temple ruling...... Now I heard that the prince of Longqing is only one step away from stepping into the realm of knowing fate, and he is highly valued by the Haotian Dao Gate, and he is already the second person in the Adjudication Division, specializing in guarding the evil demons of the outer Dao, and his authority is extremely heavy."

"The number two person in the Divine Temple's adjudication department?" a student gasped and said: "This kind of big man can't make any waves in my Tang Dynasty, but if he wants to be in the Great River Kingdoms of the Southern Jin Dynasty, even the emperor doesn't dare to resent, so why did he come to Datang and Chang'an?"

"Because Prince Longqing ...... I want to go to our institute for further study."

"Entering the hospital, could it be that such a big man would come to be our classmates?"

"What you think is extremely beautiful, this kind of big man has been studying in the Heavenly Oracle Academy for many years, and now he is an important figure in the Xiling Temple, how can he be a classmate with you and me, of course, the purpose of his entry into the courtyard is to enter the second floor."

"He came to Changshi City this time, in addition to entering the second floor to continue his studies, there is another important reason, that is, to replace his brother Prince Yan as a hostage, Emperor Yan is now getting old and his body is declining, no one knows when he will pass away, my Emperor His Majesty is the first to be filial piety, and agrees that Prince Yan will return to China to serve his relatives, but he requires that Yan Kingdom must take a royal family of sufficient weight to replace, think about it, who else is qualified besides Prince Longqing?"

"Xiling Temple has cultivated the prince of Longqing for many years, and it has been proved that this person's talent is indeed extremely outstanding, Yan people value his talent, and even more value the close relationship between him and Xiling Temple, and regard him as the hope of the revival of Yan Kingdom, in their eyes, this prince is only afraid that it is much more important than the prince who has been a hostage in Chang'an City for many years, so what I don't understand is why Yan people actually agreed to my request from Datang this time"

Tong guò's more than ten classmates from famous families introduced and complemented each other, and the minds of the students gradually had a clear picture: the children of the royal family who are in their youth, the Mu Qing cultivator who will enter the fate, the hope of the revival of the Yan people, and the important cultivation object of the Xiling Temple, who can be such a person who is not a genius of destiny?

Thinking of the demeanor of the prince of Longqing, the equally young and proud students in the house couldn't help but have extremely complicated feelings in their hearts, some envy, jealousy and admiration, and some faint unwillingness, but this unwillingness in front of the other party's dazzling history and fame, there is really no strength at all

For a while, she became strangely quiet, and she looked at her classmates and smiled and said, "You have forgotten the most famous thing about Prince Tilongqing...... You must know that this prince was born extremely handsome, and some people even use beauty to describe him, plus he has a poetic temperament, when he was still a teenager, he first entered the Moon Wheel Country, and it attracted countless Huaichun girls in the Moon Wheel Country to watch on the street, I heard that the Moon Wheel Country did not know how many pairs of embroidered shoes were broken that day, how many girls shouted badly, and how many pairs of eyes were red when they cried"

This is a very famous anecdote, the students in the house naturally will not know, but the previous talk was mostly about young men, where would they be willing to mention this paragraph, Zhu Youxian said at this time, the girls sitting in the front row of the house suddenly thought of this rumor, and the young and childish face suddenly appeared bright, and even the Miss Gao, who had been a little depressed in recent days, opened her eyes wide, and the corners of her lips were unconsciously slightly curled

"I say, sisters, it's too late for you to be a nymphomaniac

Zhu Youxian's best thing is to stab and then make up for it, the thief looked at the girls with a smile and said: "The prince of Longqing has already set a family affair, and the object is Princess Lu Chenjia of the Moon Wheel Country, and it is also the most famous in the world When the prince of Longqing studied Buddhism in the Moon Wheel Country, he fell in love with Princess Lu Chendi at first sight, and later Her Royal Highness the princess traveled thousands of miles to study in the Heavenly Oracle, just to get along with the prince of Longqing day and night, where do you still have the opportunity?" Everyone in the world knows that Lu Chenjia cherishes flowers like an idiot, this kind of nymphomaniac, you are not an opponent at all."

The girls in the house suddenly became a little stunned when they heard this, but at this time, could they still argue with Zhu Shixian's remarks?

Moon Wheel Country Lu Chenjana is a famous beauty in the world, in addition, there are two women in the world who are compared to her by good deeds, one of them is the closed female disciple of the Great Sage of the Great River King, it is said that she is extremely quiet and virtuous, and she is called an idiot because of her sexual liking, and the other is a mysterious female disciple of Xiling Tianyu Academy, it is said that the woman was born soft and charming, but she is dedicated to the Tao, and has no distracting thoughts except for practice, and is called a Taoist idiot

"Speaking of, you know the origin of the name, that is, the Taoist beauty has always been extremely mysterious, the world only knows that there is such a beauty in Xiling Divine Kingdom, but I don't know who her surname is and where she is now"

Situ Yilan listened to the curious discussion of her classmates, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's true that not many people know the name of that Taoist beauty, but I heard that she is ...... now The number one person in the Divine Judgment Division"
