Haoqi Building.

Jiang Luzhong sat on the side of the desk, holding the tea offered by the officials, blew a breath of hot air, took a sip, and said with emotion:

"I remember that I drank tea here in Wei Gong once last year, which was refreshing and fragrant, and it did not disperse for three hours. ”

Wei Yuan, who was standing in front of the bookshelf rummaging through books, turned his back to him and said lightly: "That is the tribute tea in the palace, which only produces three catties in three years, and His Majesty is usually reluctant to drink it." ”

No wonder........ Jiang Luzhong suddenly realized and asked curiously: "Where does such a magical tea come from?"

"Made in the capital. ”

"There is still such good tea in the capital? ”

"A woman planted it, she was in the capital, and this tea was produced in the capital. Wei Yuan's voice was gentle and mellow.

Jiang Lu bowed his head and didn't ask much, although the tea is good, but he is a martial artist, and he is not keen on tea, he came to Haoqilou this time, there is a clear and definite purpose.

"I heard Ning Yan talk about it today, and there is a reason why he is like a fish in water in the teaching workshop and is deeply loved by the oirans. Jiang Lu said.

"Beauty loves poetry, especially dusty women. Wei Yuan smiled.

"No," Jiang Luzhong shook his head: "In addition to poetry, there are two secrets, which are "communicate shallow and deep", "in the end, it will not work". I have been in my position for a long time, but I have gained nothing....... Of course, this is not to say that the lowly position wants to be like that, but that the lowly position is purely curious.

"Duke Wei is erudite and talented, and he knows astronomy and geography, so he came to ask for advice, presumably with Wei Gong's knowledge, he should know it well. ”

After speaking, Jiang Luzhong saw Wei Gong turn around and stare at him faintly.

After staring for more than ten seconds, Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and said in a casual tone: "In the law, you have been with me for ten years." ”

"Yes. ”

"In the past ten years, you have been conscientious and conscientious, and I am very pleased to see it in my eyes. Wei Yuan pulled out a book and said:

"Okay, I'm going to keep reading, and you stand down. ”

Jiang Luzhong left a little dazed and returned to his own hall.

Before the buttocks were hot, a servant came in, bowed down and said, "Jiang Jingong, Duke Wei has orders." ”

Didn't you just drive me away......... Jiang Luzhong asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Gong said that Jiang Jinluo was conscientious and conscientious, and should continue to maintain. For the next month, the night watch will be handed over to you. ”

After a pause, the official continued: "Duke Wei also said that he hoped that Jiang Jingong would pack up and move to the yamen. Don't go back to the family for a while. ”

“？？？”

This is an order that should be given to a subordinate who is conscientious and conscientious? This is human words? Being on duty all night for a month, doesn't it mean that in the next month, not only will I not be able to go to the teaching department, but I will not even be able to touch a woman?

Jiang Lu was stunned.

..............

Xu Qi'an's wait is an hour, a whole hour.

Fortunately, I didn't drink too much water when I came, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.......... The sun wasn't strong enough to set off my sadness........... He waited patiently, without complaining or urging.

However, Xu Qi'an found that every quarter of an hour, a palace maid would stand in the courtyard and look at the door.

Xu Qi'an pretended not to find out.

The sun is shining, the spring breeze is warm, and after the beginning of spring, the back garden of Shaoyin Garden begins to wake up, gradually revealing its gorgeous and charming side.

Lin'an, the second princess, who also has peach blossom eyes and a charming and amorous temperament, sat in the gazebo angrily and commanded two personal palace maids to play backgammon.

After playing a lot of chess, she began to like to teach others how to play chess.

The two palace maids have no game experience at all, but they dare not disobey the second princess on their heads.

"Princess, Lord Xu is still waiting outside. "The little palace maid comes over regularly to report.

Lin'an gave a reserved "um", and there was no follow-up.

The little palace maid stepped back.

After a quarter of an hour, she went over to check the situation again, and when she saw that Xu Qi'an was still there, she was a little moved.

Our princess is always in a temper, isn't this driving a handsome man like Lord Xu to Princess Huaiqing........ The thought flashed, and she saw Master Xu suddenly shake his body, fall straight to the ground, and pass out.

"Oops......."

The little palace maid was in a hurry, and rushed over to check the situation, only to see Xu Qi'an's face pale and frowning in pain.

"Lord Xu, Lord Xu?" the little palace maid pushed him anxiously, looking like she was about to cry.

Xu Qi'an woke up "faintly", he covered his chest, coughed a few times, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'm fine, it's just that I was too seriously injured during the fight, I stood for too long just now, and the injury recurred, just rest for a while." ”

The little palace maid was distressed and moved, and persuaded: "Lord Xu, you better go back first, the second princess is angry, and she won't see you." ”

"Your Highness is angry?"

Xu Qi'an was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness, who is not long-sighted and makes Your Highness angry?"

The little palace maid was speechless for a while, and said in her heart that the person who made His Highness angry was not you.

She said in a low voice: "The guards of Shaoyin Yuan saw Lord Xu enter the palace and go to Dexin Garden. ”

Xu Qi'an was silent.

Seeing that he didn't explain, the little palace maid was immediately a little disappointed, and advised: "Lord Xu, go back, and come back after His Highness is angry another day." ”

After speaking, she left Xu Qi'an and entered the courtyard.

Walking all the way, he came to the pavilion in the inner courtyard, and said in a hurried tone: "Your Highness, Lord Xu fainted just now. ”

Lin'an Huoran raised his head, a stunned and nervous expression flashed on his face, and then he suppressed it, and said lightly: "Comatose?"

"Lord Xu said that he had been standing for too long, and the injury he suffered yesterday had recurred. The little palace maid lowered her head and said.

"I didn't make him wait....... You can't play chess, you two fools. ”

Lin An scolded irritably, and then said to the little palace maid: "If you don't leave, please invite him in." ”

..........

Xu Qi'an was taken to the side hall, drank a sip of hot tea, and waited for a long time before he saw the red clothes coming in, with a round face, beautiful facial features, a cold face, and a pair of charming eyes that forcibly pretended to be indifferent.

"Didn't this palace say that there would be no guests? ”

Lin'an reprimanded without three hundred taels of silver, and then his eyes fell on Xu Qi'an, and after looking at it, he seemed to be relieved, and ordered:

"Lord Xu contributes to the imperial court, and this palace will not let you get hurt in vain, He'er, bring things in. ”

The big palace maid who had been slapped on the ass by Xu Qi'an stepped back, and came in with the errand in the garden, holding some pills and nourishing medicinal materials in her hands.

"These medicinal herbs and pills were taken from the imperial pharmacy by this palace, so Lord Xu should take them away. Lin'an said reservedly.

"It was His Highness who begged for a long time before His Majesty could bear to cut his love. Horr added.

"I want you to talk more!" framed willow eyebrows upside down, taking a deep breath: "He'er, send off." ”

Xu Qi'an didn't leave.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and Xu Bai said cheekily, "I have studied backgammon for a long time and come up with a set of secrets, killing invincible opponents all over the world, can Your Highness dare to fight?"

The framing was really in the set, and he nodded in response.

So let the maid bring the chessboard and chess pieces, she and Xu Qi'an fought three hundred rounds in the hall, Xu Qi'an lost three battles and three times, and had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Your Highness is really extremely intelligent, and you are impressed by your humble duties. Xu Qi'an took advantage of the situation to send sycophants.

Framing raised his chin slightly, and made a very reserved "um", and suddenly remembered that this was an immature white-eyed wolf, and hummed:

"The chess game is also over, and the palace will not leave Lord Xu. ”

"Don't worry, the lowly position has thought of a new way to play, if Your Highness is interested, the lowly position can teach Your Highness. "Xu Qi'an's routine is that the old sow wears a bra.

The quiet Shaoyin Garden suddenly became lively, framing and directing the guards in the garden to cut wood, while Xu Qi'an cut the wood into sections.

"You go get the dye........ You go and get the carving knife........"

After commanding the guards, she began to command the palace maids again, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, full of energy.

The two palace maids were ordered to leave, communicating as they walked:

His Royal Highness smashed the cup angrily not long ago, and his eyes were red....... You said that this Lord Xu is really capable, and he didn't even say good words, but His Highness forgave him. ”

"His Highness is just losing his temper, and he is not really Lord Xu, let me tell you, if he leaves, then His Highness will be really sad. ”

"Ahem!"

The man's low cough came from behind him, and the two palace maids were startled, jumped like a frightened deer, and looked back, it turned out to be Xu Qi'an.

"Lord Xu is too angry and scared the slave and maid. Haul grumbled.

Xu Qi'an casually flirted with the two beautiful palace maids for a few words, and then cut to the chase:

"This official asks you one thing, those pills are priceless, when did Your Highness prepare them?"

"Those pills are taken by His Majesty himself, nourishing qi and nourishing essence, it is said that there are only twenty-four pills in one furnace, and twenty-four furnaces can succeed in one furnace. Yesterday, His Royal Highness made trouble with His Majesty for a long time, and His Majesty couldn't bear it, so he gave a reward. Holl said.

"Then I'll send someone to ask you this morning, who wants to .........," the other maid added.

"Go ahead!"

Xu Qi'an slapped their buttocks and drove the two palace maids away.

He returned as if nothing had happened, and did what he was doing, carving sections of wood into flat original shapes, and carving them on them.

In the process, Lin'an is also helping to carve, she has read books and practiced martial arts, although she is not good at martial arts, but the foundation is quite solid.

It is not a problem to carve the wood into a flat original shape.

Unconsciously, the sun moved westward, and Xu Qi'an's new chess was done - chess!

Looking at the two chess pieces made by himself and the dog slave, he showed a heartfelt smile in the frame, and in an instant, the flowers were discolored, and there was only a charming smile in his eyes.

"It's not too early, I'll tell Your Highness the rules, it's almost time to leave the palace. After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he waved the palace maid away.

He looked at the sun, his smile gradually retracted, and he snorted.

Xu Qi'an explained the rules of chess seriously, but she was absent-minded when she listened to it, she was very angry today, and she had to admit that she had to win over Xu Qi'an at the beginning, purely to rob Huaiqing's things.

But slowly, she liked this dog slave more and more, changed her way to give him silver, was kind to him with her heart, never asked him to do anything for herself, as long as she took the time to come and play with her, she was very happy to frame.

But she has always had a thorn in her heart, that is, Xu Qi'an and Huaiqing have always maintained an "inappropriate" relationship.

obviously promised to serve her and get rid of Huaiqing, but she still played with Huaiqing in private, but it was not an improper relationship.

She pretended not to see, once, twice, three times........ It finally broke out today, and in order to ask for elixir, she was scolded and scolded by her father, and she resisted with a thick face. The next day, he sent someone to ask Xu Qi'an and waited happily.

What was waiting for was a sentence from the guard: he went to Dexin Garden.

For a moment, he felt that his dignity had been lost, and he felt that he was dead, but in fact, Xu Qi'an didn't take her seriously at all, no, treat her as a fool.

If you're sad, you want to cry.

"Alas!"

Suddenly, Xu Qi'an let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I went to Dexin Garden just now. ”

Framed's face instantly fell, and he turned his face away: "I don't know what Dexin Yuan is, you came to me after you entered the palace." ”

"No, I just went to see Princess Huaiqing first. ”

"Xu Qi'an!"

Framed and shouted, turned his face, his eyes were slightly red, he even wanted to debunk my self-deception, can't he think about my feelings?

Xu Qi'an sighed again, looking at the sun hanging in the west, his eyes became deep and timeless, as if he had hidden countless stories and life experiences.

Word by word, he said slowly: "Your Highness, I don't know if you have ever heard a word?"

Framed silently.

"There will be a lot of scenery in life, and there will be a lot of people, but the choice you make in the end is what your heart wants the most. ”

Framed for a moment, looking at him in a daze.

"Today, His Royal Highness and Princess Huaiqing invited me at the same time, and I went to see Princess Huaiqing without any hesitation. ”

Xu Qi'an stood up, looking a little excited: "If I come to Shaoyin Garden first, I will definitely not be able to stay for a long time, and I will leave after saying a few words and go to Dexin Garden to see her." Oh, could it be that Princess Huaiqing invited, I can turn a blind eye?

"But if I go to Dexin Yuan first, I can accompany His Highness here until the palace gate is closed. Isn't it obvious which of His Highness and Huaiqing is more important in my heart?"

The framed eyes gradually softened, and his expression changed from cold to gentle.

Xu Qi'an sat down again, stared deeply at Lin'an with the timeless gaze that he had just watched the sunset, and said softly: "Because I know that what Your Highness needs is companionship." ”

This sentence pokes at the softest place in the framed heart, yes, she is lonely, lonely.

After the prince's brother was confined, the mother concubine cried to her all day long, instilling in her the queen's intentions. The attitude of the brothers and sisters is also becoming colder.

Her father is still her father, but Lin'an is no longer the Lin'an she used to be, at least she realizes that her father loves her completely because she is harmless to humans and animals.

A charming and proud princess on the outside, but a lonely and lonely girl lives in her heart.

Xu Qi'an glanced around, confirmed that the retreating palace maid was not nearby, and boldly held Lin'an's soft little hand, and said sincerely:

"Your Highness, I will always be with you. ”

The temperature from the back of his hand was a little hot, Lin'an's cheeks were flushed, and there seemed to be a warm current in his heart.

Time slipped away quietly, Xu Qi'an held her hand and did not let go, and an ambiguous atmosphere fermented and brewed between the two.

"Your Highness, it's not too early, go back first. If you want to see me every day, you can move to Lin'an Mansion and you don't have to live in the palace. Xu Qi'an said in a low voice.

.................

In the afterglow of the sunset, Xu Qi'an led the little mare and walked in the imperial city.

"Little mare, according to my years of experience in picking up girls, if I can hold Lin'an's hand this time, I can hold her next time........ Girls, you have to chase her, if you don't chase her, it's not yours.

"I heard a joke before, a scumbag said to his girlfriend: Your parents are good to you because you are their daughter, only if I am good to you, I really love you and love you.

"Although it is a fallacy, I think it is also a fallacy. Lin'an is good to me, it is really good to me, and it is not mixed with too much use and benefits. Of course, the latter may be the adult world.

"Although she is a little stupid, she is a beautiful vase, but this vase has hollowed itself out to be good to you.

"If you want to say who is the most suitable to be a daughter-in-law, or Chu Caiwei, her soft rice tastes the most fragrant and has no sequelae, Lin'an and Huaiqing, the danger is too great.

"In fact, in my current position, I don't have any requirements for women, I just hope that they can be strict with themselves. ”

With that, the little mare arched his head and snorted twice.

"You want me to make a request for you?"

Xu Qi'an thought for a while and said, "Your words, well, don't think the eel is small!"

.............

In the palace, Wang Zhenwen, who returned to the palace from a scattered duty, had dinner and went into the study to see the excerpts as usual, and at his age, women were already dispensable.

Perhaps stimulated by Emperor Yuan Jing's white hair turning black, the princes of the court are not very close to women, and they are very particular about health preservation.

However, Emperor Yuanjing had a sect to guide his cultivation, and someone sect to refine pills for him, which was a treatment that the princes of the court could not enjoy.

Wang Simu came in with a nourishing soup, and then peeked at his father's excerpts and annotations on the pretext of tidying up his desk. Sometimes he asks questions in a big way.

"I heard from the people in the house, today's Wenhui, that Huiyuan from Yunlu Academy is here?" Wang Zhenwen asked.

"Well, there was also a conflict with Sun Shangshu's niece. ”

Wang Simu relayed what happened to his father as it was, and snorted:

"Dad, I saw that Xu Huiyuan was a talent, so I invited him, who wants to be an emotional guy, he doesn't know how to forbear, he is a mediocre talent. Dad, you have to teach him a good lesson and vent your anger for Sister Yan'er. ”

Wang Shoufu didn't look at things so superficially, and said in a deep voice: "The students from Yunlu Academy have followed the Confucian cultivation system, and their temperament is not much worse.

"Being able to win the Huiyuan as a student of Yunlu Academy is indeed a rare talent. As for the conflict between your juniors, it can't be put on the table. ”

The corners of Miss Wang's mouth twitched, and she immediately said: "Then it seems that her daughter's thoughts coincide with her father, so does her father think it is possible to win him over?"

"Why do you want to win him over, even if he is a talent, there is no need for him, and it is unwise to offend the civil officials who were born in the country's eunuchs. Besides, your father and I are the first assistant of one dynasty, and the civil official is an example. Wang Shoufu shook his head.

"It is precisely because my father is a civil official who is a role model that you come forward to win over, and the resistance is the least. The daughter felt that if she could recruit him into her command, she could not only blow the arrogance of Yunlu Academy, but also get a good general, the best of both worlds. ”

Miss Wang looked like "I am analyzing the situation and thinking about my father".

"There is no special reason why soliciting this person can do more harm than good. Wang Zhenwen shook his head.

Miss Wang wanted to say a few more words, but her father glanced at her and immediately dismissed the idea.

Point to point.

There is no particular reason........ It just so happens that I'm going to look at him for a while........ Wang Simu thought happily.

..............

Nancheng, health hall.

In the firewood room, the golden light slowly extinguished, and the Jingchen monk appeased the "black dog" and made him fall into a sweet dream.

"Amitabha!"

The middle-aged monk with fat earlobes had compassion on his face and said in a deep voice: "It is a miracle that this child has survived until now. ”

"The warlock of Si Tianjian has cured him, yes, it is the relationship between Lord Xu. Hengyuan said beside him.

"Over the years, I have traveled to Hongchen and seen countless joys and sorrows, and all living beings are suffering. Poor monks often wonder why there are thousands of Buddha lamps, but they never shine through the layers of darkness in the world.

"It wasn't until yesterday that I realized the Mahayana Buddhism that I realized that the pursuit of grade, the pursuit of arhats and bodhisattvas, is self-cultivation and Hinayana learning. Spending the common people is Mahayana Buddhism. If everyone has compassion, do we need Buddha lamps in the world? ”

The pure dust monk sighed.

Hengyuan bowed his head and folded his hands: "Lord Xu is really a god." ”

The Jingchen monk clasped his hands together: "It is the innate son of the Buddha, and it is a generous gift from God to the Buddha." The poor monk believed that one day, he would come to a great realization and escape into the empty door. ”

The poor monk was looking forward to that day. Hengyuan's heart is hot.

Monk Jingchen nodded, and then said, "This kid's physique is weak, his spirit is impaired, and he can't return to normal in the short term. Unable to withstand the fatigue of the journey, the poor monk's suggestion was to send him to Qinglong Temple. As for you, it's time to travel west.

"You also know that after the eight grades are the three grades, the three grades are called King Kong, if you don't practice the Vajra Divine Skill, you will never be able to become King Kong. ”

Hengyuan hesitated for a long time, and slowly shook his head: "Uncle Shi just now, you also said that saving oneself is Hinayana and saving sentient beings is Mahayana. ”

Jingchen was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head in shame: "What Uncle Shi said is right, you really have more wisdom." Either way, no matter what. ”

Although I have realized the Mahayana Buddhism, it has been the inertia of thinking for decades, and it is not so easy to change.

This is the difference between an epiphany and no epiphany, and when the arhat has an epiphany, he will no longer have a similar inertia of thought.

"Tomorrow, Uncle Ancestor will take us back to the Western Regions. "The pure dust monk said.

"So fast, the evil thing, no longer tracked?"

"The evil thing has been out of trouble for several months, and there is no hurry. Uncle Shi wanted to return to the Western Regions first to promote Mahayana Buddhism. The pure dust monk explained.

After sending off the Jingchen monk, Hengyuan was about to turn around, when he suddenly saw an old Taoist standing in the darkness of the courtyard, looking at him with a smile.

"Golden Lotus Dao Chief?"

...............

Hsu Mansion.

There is only one corner left in the west of the sunset, and it will not set, and the red Wanxia is magnificent and colorful.

Xu Qi'an rode the little mare back to the house, threw the reins of the horse to the guards of the house, and stepped into the house, the time was very accurate, it was time for dinner.

At the dinner table, Xu Xinnian talked about participating in the Wenhui today, and briefly mentioned that no one pushed Lingyue into the pool.

"What? Lingyue fell overboard?"

Xu Qi'an looked at her sister, shushed and asked warmly: "How is your body?" Do you have a headache and brain fever, will you be infected with wind and cold?"

Xu Lingyue said softly: "No, don't worry, big brother." I've drunk medicine since I got home, and I won't catch the cold. ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an waited for Xu Erlang: "How do you take care of your sister?" You can fall into the water when you participate in a literary meeting, what do you want." ”

Xu Erlang glanced at Xu Lingyue, and the latter hurriedly said: "I don't blame the second brother, the second brother can't keep an eye on me all the time, and after falling into the water, the second brother rescued me as soon as possible."

"The person who pushed me into the water is the niece of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and he has already apologized and compensated. ”

Niece of the Criminal Department.......... Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Okay, I'll send someone to Sun Mansion to squat when I go back, and when her niece comes out, I will drive and crash into her, and kill her." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lingyue with a guilty face: "Sister, it's the eldest brother who has affected you." ”

Xu Lingyue puffed out her cheeks and said unhappily: "What did the eldest brother say, the family still sees each other like this." ”

This girl is so nice!

.............

After dinner, Xu Qi'an began a long path of cultivation, spitting, contemplating, contemplating the heart sword, contemplating the cultivation of the mind, and contemplating the undefeated divine skill of Vajra.

This made him feel like he was back in school and had a heavy workload.

Suddenly, the clouds filled his eyes, and he saw layers of mist and came to the world of the monk Shenjush.

Through the fog, I came to a dilapidated temple and saw a handsome monk sitting cross-legged.

Monk Shenshu looked at him with gentle eyes and said, "I am about to fall asleep, and I can't wake up in the short term, so I can't care about your life and death." I will give you another drop of essence blood to practice Vajra undefeated. ”

Can his blood practice Vajra be undefeated? Xu Qi'an was stunned.

Monk Shenshu smiled and said, "You should understand what my immortal body is based on. For others, this is difficult and slow, but if you come here, you will be able to reach a high level in a short period of time. In this way, you have enough self-protection ability. ”

After speaking, he popped out a drop of essence blood and crashed into Xu Qi'an's eyebrows.

Immediately afterward, he was ejected from the foggy world and opened his eyes in the room.

"Click......."

In the loud sound of popping beans on his body, the surface of his skin, the muscles and muscles protruded, and the blood vessels burst out, and then, they were all dyed with a layer of gold paint, burning and eye-catching in the light of the candlelight.

A big "!" flashed in Xu Qi'an's mind!"

The Vajra Divine Skill has already entered the hall, and now, let him fight hand-to-hand with the Jingsi monk, and it is not certain who will lose and who will win.

Of course, this matter cannot be exposed in the eyes of Buddhism.

Xu Qi'an dispersed King Kong undefeated, sat at the table, pinched the teaglass, and fell into deep thought.

Monk Shenshu is a person in Buddhism, an immortal and immortal existence......... Then, he must have also cultivated Vajra undefeated, and Jian Zheng agreed to the Buddhist fighting method, and named me to participate on behalf of Si Tianjian........

Why did the superintendent pave the way for me? And so obviously? No, how do I feel like he's raising leeks........

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Who?"

Xu Qi'an got up and opened the door, and in the night, there was an old Taoist priest with gray hair, holding a whisk in his hand and smiling.

Behind him was the green-shirted swordsman Chu Yuanzhen, burly and tall Lu Zhishen.

"You ........."

Xu Qi'an was stunned, why did they suddenly come to my house.

"I have a friend who has an accident and wants to ask Lord Xu for help. Daoist Jin Lian said.

.............
