Chapter 30 News from the capital
Li Qingxuan already has more than 300 taels of silver, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, and daily life, but when he heard this, he was a little moved in his heart. He originally reported those medicinal materials, and he thought about asking Lord Thorn Shi to give him a golden sword or jade sword, but he had reported the medicinal materials before, and it was difficult to ask for them again. Listening to Lord Cui's meaning, I think if you don't take these medicinal materials to heart, you can give them another reward?
Li Qingxuan took a deep breath and said, "The junior wants a small sword, about one foot and three inches, made of gold. If...... If it is made of good jade, it is the best. "The golden sword, the jade sword, the one foot three inches, the one foot three inches long golden sword, this weight is not small, and the value is not low. Cui Huanzhi's brows furrowed slightly. Wang Yuan glanced at Li Qingxuan with deep meaning.
"Good. Cui Huanzhi said: "There is still a little bit of family resources in this mansion, and it is not too difficult to build a small golden sword." But the jade sword ......" He looked at Li Qingxuan, the expression in his eyes gradually became solemn, and said: "I have a jade pendant, but to create a jade sword that is one foot and three inches long, its original material is not small." Good jade is already expensive, a small jade pendant is worth as much as 100 gold, and if you want such a large piece of jade to be carved into a vessel, how can its value be ten times higher? ”
Li Qingxuan sighed secretly and said, "Thank you for making Lord Jun show love, the younger generation only needs to take the golden sword." Cui Huanzhi didn't ask about the usefulness of the little sword, but his heart was covered with a layer of fog, and he said secretly: "Jade is not something ordinary people can have, what does my virtuous nephew want that jade sword to do?"
Liangyu raises people, generally most of the people with higher status can wear it, although today's court is relaxed, as long as there is a meritorious name, people with status can wear it. However, jade is more valuable than gold, and it has no price, and it is not something that ordinary people can own. If a poor man wears a jade pendant, and everyone sees it, their first thought must be that he stole it.
That's the difference in identity. The tombs of the previous dynasties were often stolen and dug up, but those who robbed the tombs mostly took gold, silver and jewelry, while the jade was discarded. Because jade is worn on the body, it does not have a corresponding status, but it will cause trouble.
It's like having no official position, but wearing the official uniform of a bird and a beast, that is a capital crime. Hearing the jade sword, Wang Yuan's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Jade is precious, mostly worn by princes and nobles, and it should be carved into a sword, and it is a jade sword that is one foot and three inches long, and its raw materials must be at least one foot and five inches long, four or five fingers wide, such a piece of jade is indeed worth more than a thousand gold." Unless ......"
Li Qingxuan hurriedly said: "Unless what?" Wang Yuan looked at Cui Huanzhi, and waited until Lord Thorn Shi nodded before he said, "Unless you go to the capital." "The capital is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the magnates gather, the prosperity is endless, and the Quartet vassal countries have tasted the tribute of the capital. If you want to talk about these jewels and jade, rare and exotic objects, you should take the capital as the first choice. ”
Wang Yuan continued: "In three months, there will be a grand event in the capital, and it is rumored that all the people of the Tao will go. "A grand event in the capital?" Li Qingxuan was slightly shocked, and couldn't help but think of Master Zhang Laodao. If Master learns about this, he doesn't know how happy he is, but it's a pity......
It is rumored that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was given a pair of immortal pictures by Xie Kexie Zhenren at the end of the Sui Dynasty, known as the Flying Diagram of Liexian. This picture is a fairy thing, it is rumored to be the legacy of the ancient true monarch, with great magic power, hidden mysteries. Every ten years, the Tang Dynasty will display this immortal picture in the palace hall, inviting people from all over the world to take a look. Over time, it has become an extremely grand event in the Tang Dynasty.
Cui Huanzhi is the assassin of Suzhou Mansion, and the state capital is busy with affairs, so he can't take a break and can't go to the capital, but etiquette is always inevitable. In another half a month, Wang Yuan will escort the tax and silver treasures of Suzhou Mansion to the state treasury and represent Cui Huan's face saint. After Cui Huanzhi nodded, Wang Yuan promised to let Li Qingxuan go with him in half a month.
"Such a huge event, once in ten years, why doesn't there seem to be a record in Master's notes? Could it be that he doesn't know about such a grand event?" In a side room, Li Qingxuan stirred the spiritual water, a little distracted: "Or are those Taoist people who go to the capital all famous and famous, and the highest is only true qi cultivation?" He sighed, abandoned distracting thoughts, and concentrated on boiling medicine.
Miss Cui has woken up, and it is time to recuperate and recover. This kind of thing can be done by ordinary Langzhong, just a patch of tonic is needed. At this time, all the famous doctors in this Cui Mansion are among the best doctors in Suzhou Mansion, and it is naturally more than enough to prescribe health care prescriptions and boil tonic decoctions.
Li Qingxuan also wanted to get out, but remembering that he had taken advantage of it after all, he was a little reluctant to go, and personally boiled out this decoction. It's not that Li Qingxuan thinks that his ability to boil medicine is better than those famous doctors, it's just that he has spiritual water into the medicine, and the effect of the medicine is much better. Spiritual water is extremely precious, and he originally wanted to save it.
But Miss Cui lost a wisp of innate vitality this time, which is the most important source qi of the human body, the source of the three souls and seven spirits. With the loss of this innate vitality, Li Qingxuan can conclude that this Miss Cui will definitely be frail and sick in the future, and the source of life will be lost, and she will definitely not live long.
This spiritual water is comparable to an elixir, and it is estimated that it can replenish her damaged Origin Qi. "The true qi in my body is more than seven inches, and even if it is corroded by that evil fog for ten years or eight years, it has not weakened much. It's just that Miss Cui has never cultivated, and the origin qi in her body is extremely weak compared to me, and it has been eroded by the evil mist so far, hurting the origin, and there is no other good way except to use spiritual water to heal her. ”
Li Qingxuan looked at this medicinal soup and sighed, "Ordinary tonic can only nourish the body, but it is difficult to nourish the damage to the mind, and only this spiritual water can probably restore her innate vitality." If Li Qingxuan does not treat the disease, then Miss Cui, who has lost most of her origin, will probably only have a lifespan of about ten years.
"Spiritual water can help me grow in my cultivation while I am cultivating, and it should be easy to treat this disease. Li Qingxuan estimated that the heat was almost over, and then poured out the medicinal soup. The young maidservant girl on the side looked at Li Qingxuan with great reverence in her eyes. Although the news of Li Qingxuan's cure has not yet spread, it has spread in Cui's mansion, and this little girl was called to take care of Li Qingxuan, so she naturally knows about it.
The eyes of the young and delicate maid were shining, and she thought to herself: "Miss's evil disease, even the old imperial doctor invited from Luoyang City, the eastern capital, has not been able to cure it, this Li Langjun can actually cure the disease, no, no, it is said that there is no medicine." I heard that he has a slight reputation outside, and this time when he goes out, I am afraid that he will be the first doctor in Suzhou Prefecture. ”
"Seeing that he is still young, handsome and fair-skinned, it would be nice if he redeemed me, as the wife of the first doctor in Gusu City, his status is high, and others will be envious. And his medical skills are so high, in the future, he will recuperate his body and maintain his appearance for this girl, and he will be able to catch it with his hands, and he will be able to be the same as a person in the prime of his life in the future. Thinking about it, the delicate maid blushed a little, panicked with shame, secretly scolded herself for not being ashamed, and couldn't help but look at this handsome and extraordinary Li Qingxuan.
The sword eyebrows are bright, the body is jade, the temperament is as rich as jade, and the pair of black eyes are extremely clean, no matter how you look at it, it is very comfortable. What a young man in the wind. The little maid's face became more and more embarrassed. Li Qingxuan picked up the medicinal soup, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the appearance of this little maid, and said strangely: "This sister, why is your face so red?
The little maid hurriedly lowered her head, "No...... It's okay. "It's okay. Li Qingxuan didn't care, took the medicinal soup, and walked towards Miss Cui's courtyard. As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard a few crisp sounds. "What? I can't spare him, miss, don't worry, I'll let Captain Wang punish him severely." ”
"Xia'er, don't talk nonsense, maybe...... Maybe he was just curing the disease, but I misunderstood, but I slapped him, and I couldn't stand him. "Miss, you are so kind-hearted, you always like to think of good places, but you don't know that people's hearts are sinister. I see that this sour scholar is here to take advantage, and just now he wanted to take advantage of me, and I beat him back. ”
Li Qingxuan was stunned, the first voice was crisp and smart, but it was familiar, it was the early summer sister. The voice in the back was weak and weak, and it was obviously Miss Cui's voice. "Li Langjun, why don't you leave?" the little maid was a little puzzled.
At this time, I had just stepped into the courtyard, and the voice came from the small building, quite far away. Since Li Qingxuan cultivated his true qi and once stepped into the realm of a grandmaster, now he has clear ears and eyes, and his six senses are keen, so he naturally hears clearly, but this little girl has not heard anything, and when she saw Li Qingxuan suddenly stopped, she suddenly felt puzzled.
Li Qingxuan coughed lightly twice, handed the medicinal soup to the little girl, and said, "I still have important things to do, and it is inconvenient to send the medicine, so I asked my sister to send the medicinal soup for me." When the little maidservant took it, he hurried away. is meeting a Cui Mansion steward who came to look for him. "Li Langjun, Captain Wang is invited. He followed the steward and walked for about half a column of incense, when he saw Wang Yuan sitting in the pavilion, putting the knife aside, and boiling water to make tea.
