It was also early in the morning, and Jiang Yi, who walked out of the East Palace, was gloomy and depressed. On the way to the ox cart, I sighed from time to time.

Suddenly, the steward said from outside the car: "Lord, that's your friend in the Writing Bureau, do you want to invite you to ride together?"

Jiang Yi glanced out the window and saw Zhang Ju walking hurriedly.

Jiang Yi remembered the scene of the last meeting in his heart, shook his head and said: "No, this person is also like the envoys of the two northern countries, he is insincere, and he will not meet him." ”

The steward answered, and asked again if he wanted to go home.

Jiang Yi said: "I am depressed in my heart, go to Fulin Tower, just to relieve my emotions." ”

Soon, as usual, he gathered with a few friends in the Fulin Building.

At first, everyone chatted as usual, but soon, someone noticed that Jiang Yi's mood was not high, so they asked why.

Jiang Yi didn't hide it, and said, "A few days ago, Zhou sent an envoy to ask for employment. Speaking of this, sigh.

Seeing each other left and right, they looked at each other.

Jiang Yi said: "A few days ago, Qi Guo also sent someone to ask for employment. After that, there was another sigh.

Finally, someone asked: "The question is a state affair, and it is said that it is a friendship between countries, why does Jiang Jun sigh again and again?"

Jiang Yi's face was angry: "The envoys of the two countries look kind, and they are courteous everywhere, but in fact, they are all disguises, but they are really arrogant, and the tone of the letter of state submitted is tough and the words are arrogant.

When everyone heard this, they all showed sadness.

Someone said angrily: "After the two northern countries were barbarians, they stole the Central Plains Shenzhou, and talked about orthodoxy and righteousness, how can they compare with our dynasty?

Another person said: "It's still because of the previous dynasty, the Hou Jing rebellion more than ten years ago tore open the weak appearance of the previous dynasty, although there is a Gaozu to clarify the universe, but how can it be like Xiao Ji such remnants, not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so that Bashu is taken away by the north, otherwise how can there be today's momentum?"

Someone comforted: "In the past, there was a hook and practiced lying on the salary and tasted the courage, and now there are great ambitions, and if you look at it for a few years, it will inevitably be orthodox and prosperous!"

After saying this, Jiang Yi was still sullen.

At this time, there were suddenly several cheers from below.

Someone immediately said to Jiang Yi: "Brother Jiang, it's better to listen to the repertoire, there is a literary song recently, and it is said to be good." ”

Speaking of interest, Jiang Yi finally came back to his senses: "But the one I didn't have time to listen to when I left that day?"

Everyone said, "Exactly." ”

Someone added: "If you listen to it, you will like it." ”

"Go over and listen. Jiang Yi did not hesitate, and only mentioned it when he went downstairs, "Why don't you see Zheng Sheng?" If he is there, he can also taste it on the side. ”

And they all shook their heads and said they had not seen it.

One person said: "I haven't seen him for two days, yesterday I passed by his house, I wanted to visit, I knocked on the door for a long time, and no one opened the door. ”

Jiang Yi nodded, didn't ask, went downstairs with everyone, and sat down in Yazao under the personal guidance of the shopkeeper.

""Painted Skin"? This name has some meaning, I have been busy walking in the East Palace these days, but I have not heard much of it. Jiang Yi sat lazily on the chair and looked towards the stage.

Fu Linlou is well aware of the preferences of the market, and every time a wonderful article comes out, it will not only let people tell stories and arrange music, but also arrange several characters to go up, and stop and go on the side, which is a major feature.

At this moment, there is a man and a woman dressed as scholars and ladies, walking opposite each other on the stage.

As the plot was told, Jiang Yi picked up the teacup and shook his head gently.

He has long been tired of hearing the story of talented and beautiful women, and he can't help but be a little disappointed in this part of the opening chapter of "Painted Skin", feeling that it is not much different from many legends and monsters in the past, all of them are scholars and beauties, and they live together.

The plot advances, Jiang Yi still shakes his head, thinking that he has seen through the follow-up plot-

It is nothing more than a woman from a large family, the family came to find it, insulted the scholar, the scholar left a few years of appointment, or was found to be a descendant of the family, or put pen to paper, the Northern Expedition meritorious service, in short, it was thirty years of Hedong that set, and finally reunited with the beauty, raised eyebrows, and ended with laughter.

He was thinking about it when a man dressed as a Taoist priest suddenly appeared on the stage and threw his hand at everyone.

In the rapid sound of the lute, the storyteller said that the ghost hunter had found the scholar and warned him.

Jiang Yi finally came to his senses and sat up a little straighter.

Soon, when it came to the part where the scholar peeked into the evil ghost's reality, the curtain behind the stage suddenly arched, and a purple-blue ghost head suddenly came out!

Because it was too sudden, Jiang Yi was watching attentively, and was taken aback, and the teacup in his hand was not held steadily, and he fell on the table, and the tea spilled all over the table.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant who was waiting next to him hurriedly came over to make amends, and asked the guy to come and clean up.

Jiang Yi waved his hand, said nothing, and then scolded with a smile: "What an idea!

There was a humane on the side: "This ghost head is so vivid, even our Jiang Caizi is scared." ”

Another person said: "The day before yesterday, it was still the outline of the ghost face made of bamboo, blurred, how can it be so clear this time, the appearance of this blue-faced fang, I don't know, I really think it is a ghost descending into the world!"

The shopkeeper replied: "The craftsman who makes things is suddenly blessed to the soul, and he rushed to make it overnight, how is it, gentlemen?"

"Nice!

Jiang Yi stroked his palms and smiled, changed the tea, and completely immersed himself in the story.

In that story, Wang Sheng glimpsed the true face of the evil ghost, and caught up with the Taoist priest in fright, although he got the method of avoiding disasters, he still did not resist the cruelty of the evil ghost in the end, and was dissected.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed, and said: "The mistake is at the beginning, and it is useless to make up for the loss!"

The plot that followed, that is, the Taoist priest got the news, received the evil ghost, and then instructed Wang Sheng's wife to ask for a crazy beggar, and after the crazy beggar said something, let Wang Sheng's chess piece swallow his phlegm, but the beggar disappeared, and Wang's wife had no choice but to return home, and at the last moment she vomited her heart, so that Wang Sheng was revived.

Of course, the last words of emotion "stupid world" are indispensable.

In the end, after saying the article, the song stopped and everyone dispersed, and everyone applauded.

Jiang Yi's friends also praised him, but when he looked at Jiang Yi again, he was stunned in the chair with a contemplative look on his face.

Waiting for a friend to ask, Jiang Yi took a deep breath and sighed: "This painting skin will definitely be able to become famous and healthy, and the deep meaning of it makes me feel deeply, the two envoys of the northern country are like evil ghosts in the text, looking polite, in fact, they harbor evil intentions, and the current appointment is just an appearance, blindly retreating, and the act of inviting trouble must be rejected from the beginning!"

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to get up and hurriedly leave, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly remembered that it was difficult to see the prince at this time, so he frowned and sat back again.

When all the friends saw this, they all came to be relieved, but they did not dare to discuss more state affairs.

"You don't need to worry, I understand," Jiang Yi waved his hand and suddenly asked, "This article is so exquisite, it must be from everyone's hand, I don't know who wrote it?

When they heard this, they looked at each other, but no one spoke.

However, for the unknown reason of the shopkeeper, he smiled and said: "It is the work of the Marquis of Linru County!"

"Linru County Marquis?" Jiang Yi was puzzled at first, remembered for a moment, and his face showed surprise, "Could it be that brother of King Nankang?"

"Exactly!"

"This is really ......" Jiang Yi was in a trance for a moment, and then looked at everyone, "I remember, you mentioned this article last time. ”

The crowd sneered.

Someone said: "It's mainly Zheng Sheng's discussion, and I echoed it, and I didn't read it at that time." ”

"Haven't Zheng Sheng seen it?" Jiang Yi shook his head and laughed, "Jumping to conclusions, the hidden danger is quite big, Zheng Sheng is afraid that after hearing this article, he will be ashamed and difficult to see people, so he will not be seen for a few days, right?"

Everyone was embarrassed.

At this time, in another private room not far away, there was a sudden "bang", as if many objects had been swept to the ground, followed by quarrels and reprimands.

The shopkeeper confessed and left in a hurry.

Jiang Yi glanced over and saw the group walk out of the private room and leave angrily.

"That person ......," he narrowed his eyes, recognizing the leader, "it seems to be Lu Le." ”

The rest of the people looked at it, nodded one after another, and said, "It's really him." ”

Jiang Yi laughed and said, "This is interesting, Lu Le borrowed the name of his younger brother Lu Wei, and in the past year, not only has his career been smooth, but he has also been valued by all parties, why are you so angry today?"

The crowd laughed and said nothing.

After saying a few more words, Jiang Yi said that the knot in his heart had been opened, and he got up to say goodbye.

After waiting for the ox cart, he remembered what happened before, and called the accompanying steward, so he said, "Did you see Zhang Ju on the road just now?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Yi waved his hand: "Go and invite him over and come to my house to drink." ”

The steward looked surprised, thinking that you saw people when you came, but you didn't see them, and now you go to invite again, and it becomes too fast!

Unexpectedly, before his thought fell, Jiang Yi came out of the car window again: "Go and ask if the Marquis of Linru County is in the mansion, I will visit another day." ”

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then responded.

The carriage moved forward.

There was a Taoist priest walking in front of him, this man was full of beards, his waist was straight, and he was carrying a peachwood sword on his back.

The Taoist priest and the carriage staggered by, but stopped, and then grabbed it in the air.

"Gah!"

There was a strange sound, and a bruised and purple ghost shadow actually formed in his hand, and then he grabbed it.

"Hmph! In broad daylight, ghosts are rampant, and the qi of the Southern Dynasty is really exhausted. ”

"It's clearly the manifestation of incense," the wooden sword behind him suddenly spoke, "Since you have seen it, why don't you destroy the source?" Dare to visualize ghosts, even if they are not the demons of the Dao of Creation, I am afraid they are also great evildoers!"

"This ghost is just the first step in the extraordinary realm, leave it to others," the bearded Taoist took a step, "A certain family is here to lead the reincarnation of immortals, that Lu Wei was deceived by the tricks of the Heavenly Master Dao, and went astray, in order to find this body washing thing for him, he has been delayed for so long, but he can't delay it any longer! It's too late, and he won't be able to open the door in time!"

"Hehe, then you can look away," the peachwood sword let out a shrill laugh, "I smell the scent of peach on top of that ghost!"

"What!"

The Taoist priest suddenly stopped and shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense!"

He was in the middle of the city, but he roared like this, but he was not thrown by others.

"I came from outside the world, what else can I be wrong?" Peachwood Jian smiled, "One step extraordinary, two steps to the Daoji, three steps to immortality, four steps to return to the truth, five steps outside the world, one outside the world, there must be a peach source to accompany it, that is, the Buddha country of Buddhism......"

"What nonsense!" The bearded Taoist said coldly, "Five steps outside the world, feather and immortal, how can you stay in the mortal world? After the difficulty of being too clear, there are few immortals in the world, let alone outside the world?" After speaking, he took another step.

Mu Jian was surprised and said, "Hey, you don't care?"

"Don't say that there should be no outside the world, but there is a ......" Qiu Xu Daoren was arrogant, "How can a certain family deal with it? Damn, this Jiankang City really can't stay!"
