Chapter 2 It's a pity, it's a pity
The imperial capital of Great Xia, the capital of Shangjing.
It is nearly dusk, the night market is not opened, and the streets of Shangjing City, which have just been baptized by a spring rain, are slightly deserted, and the water sleeve building is still like a market, which is the place of fun favored by dignitaries and nobles in the capital.
At this time, a delicate and beautiful white-canopy double-wheeled carriage was quite domineering in front of the courtyard gate of Shuisleeve Building, but no one dared to step forward to say a word whether it was the thugs of Shuisleeve Building's home care home or other dignitaries who were blocked.
Because this is the carriage of the 'Pingle County Lord' of King Ning's Mansion, with the favor of King Ning and the current saint for the Pingle County Lord, don't say that it is just blocking the courtyard gate of the Water Sleeve Building, even if the Water Sleeve Building is demolished, what is it?
What's more, the county lord of Pingle is not a weak woman raised in the deep boudoir, but a woman general who is good at governing the army and martial arts, who dares to provoke?
After the 'Steward Zhao' of King Ning's Mansion, who acted as a groom, got out of the carriage, he knocked lightly on the door of the carriage and said respectfully: "County Lord, Shuisleeve Tower has arrived." ”
I didn't see the lord of Pingle get off the train, but I heard a light and pleasant female voice from the carriage:
"Steward Zhao, you go and call the prince out, just say that the prince has something urgent to ask him to go back to the house, don't delay the time. ”
Steward Zhao answered yes, and immediately turned around and walked into the Shuisleeve Building, and the nursing home, the maidservant and others who were waiting not far away saw this, and they all got out of the way, and even the maid took the initiative to lead Steward Zhao into the building.
After a while, Steward Zhao walked out with a young man in a plain white robe.
The young man has a tall posture, a handsome appearance, and a smile at the corner of his lips, although he looks a little immature, but his bearing is different from ordinary gentleness, not only has the calm and unhurried of a young man, but also has an outstanding temperament.
And along the way, the maids who saw this young man also looked at it intently, their eyes were shining, and some of them were obsessed, as if they had seen some rare treasures.
As for the dignitaries, no one finds it strange, but they are accustomed to it.
This Lin Gongzi on the Ning Wangfu, when he was drooping, wrote a poem "Song of the Goose", the name of the prodigy spread all over Beijing, over the years, the poems and songs left by this son are even more unknown, even Taifu Yuxian and other Hongru also have a lot of appreciation, plus the appearance and bearing are so extraordinary, it can be said that it is the first son of Beijing without dispute, I don't know how many celebrities in Beijing are infatuated with it, not to mention these maidservants?
"Childe, Childe!"
At this time, a little guy chased out with a handwritten note that had not dried ink, and shouted: "Your ink treasure has not been taken away yet!"
Lin abandoned his footsteps, turned to look, and said with a smile: "This ink treasure has not been completed yet, so stay in the Water Sleeve Building and let everyone Xiao dispose of it." ”
With that, he walked to the carriage of the palace, stepped on the stool, lifted the curtain, and stooped into the carriage.
And the dignitaries behind him, after hearing this, stared at the half of the ink treasure in the hand of the little guy with burning eyes, this Lin Dagongzi can be called a thousand words, a complete ink treasure is precious, but half a ink treasure is very rare, once you get this ink treasure, maybe there is a chance to form a half-word friendship with this Lin Gongzi?
Many people are thinking in their hearts, and it seems that they are going to have a good discussion with Xiao and everyone in Shuisleeve Building.
"Drive!"
Steward Zhao sat on the carriage board, and with a soft drink, the carriage of Ning Wang's Mansion slowly swayed, the wheels ran over the stagnant water on the street, and went straight to the palace.
In the elegant and clean carriage, Lin Qi looked at the county lord's sister who was sitting opposite, who was obviously in the prime of her life, but she was full of heroism between her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Sister Pingle, what is the urgent matter of the prince to call me back to the house?"
The county lord of Pingle didn't answer Lin Qi's words, but asked with a cold face, "How old are you this year?"
Sure enough...... Lin Qi laughed secretly and said, "Doesn't my sister know? The younger brother is fifteen this year, and half a year ago, my sister personally tied the hair of the younger brother." ”
A trace of anger appeared on the white face of the county lord of Pingle, and he said angrily: "Do you still know that you are only fifteen years old? Who taught you to go to a place like Shuisleeve Tower at a young age?"
I'm sorry, brother, I'm already forty years old in my previous life...... Lin Qi secretly slandered himself, and pretended to be aggrieved on the surface: "However, Xie Changhai laughed at me last time, saying that I had never been to the Qinglou since I was fifteen years old, and he was still younger than me, so he often went, and said that this was the work of elegant celebrities." ”
The county lord of Pingle frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "Xie Changhai, that hun boy really doesn't learn well...... Tomorrow, I will go to the Yue Guo Mansion to see how he is disciplined on the Yue Guo Fair Day. ”
Hey, the kid of the Xie family has suffered this time, let you spoil me and do a good thing, this son doesn't have to go out in person, he can let you, a bear child, be confined, this sister's martial arts are not covered...... When Lin Qi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
"Little brother, you have a seven-step talent, why do you want to learn from those vassal and elegant people?
When the county lord of Pingle said this, his expression eased, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a serious tone: "Speaking of which, have you done anything unscrupulous since you entered the water sleeve building?"
"What is the matter?" Lin Qi pretended to look at the county lord of Pingle suspiciously, and asked innocently, "I don't know what my sister is referring to?"
The county lord of Pingle blushed slightly, and said angrily: "You kid don't pretend to be stupid for me! Although you are eight years younger than me, you know more than me since you were a child, and you still pretend to be stupid?"
"Could it be that Sister Fei is talking about men and women?" Lin Qi snickered in his heart, and said with a slight grievance on his face: "The books on this description in the house have been hidden by you, how do I know what they are?"
"Ahem. The county lord of Pingle coughed twice in embarrassment, deliberately put on a flushed pretty face, and reprimanded: "Eldest sister is like a mother, I am also for your good, you are not yet old enough to marry a wife, you don't need to know these things...... Ahem, Her Royal Highness the princess also asked me to watch you well, you must remember not to be in the same stream as those fools, you know?"
"Little brother is provincial, I'll talk about it later......" Lin Qi played word games with a straight face.
The county lord of Pingle snorted unconsciously, completely unaware that this day was not another day.
"Speaking of which, Sister Pingle, I don't know if the prince has any urgent matter to call me back to the house?" Lin Qi restrained his smile and asked about business.
The county lord of Pingle shook his head lightly and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is another 'master' in our house today, but that master is acting a little weird, Daddy is not sure whether the other party is really a master of the fairy family or a charlatan, but he doesn't dare to slack off, so let you go back and palm your eyes." ”
"Weird?" Lin Qi asked, "What's weird?"
The county lord of Pingle recalled and said: "Judging from my martial arts, the steps of that master are a little vain, it seems to be caused by fatigue after the trek, if it is really a master of the immortal family, how can it be like this?"
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Over the years, the few immortal masters I have seen are also quite weird, maybe he is just imitating the teachings of the saints, working his own mind, working his muscles and bones, starving his body and skin, and emptying his body?"
"Yes, Daddy thought about it that way, so he was only suspicious. ”
The lord of Pingle bowed slightly, frowned again, and said: "But when Daddy invited the master into the hall and ordered the maid to come forward to serve tea, the maid inadvertently knocked the tea down, and the master failed to avoid the spilled tea, and he didn't understand the legendary immortal's method of avoiding water. ”
"That's really doubtful. Lin Qi also nodded and asked, "If that person is a charlatan, has the other party made any requests?"
The county lord of Pingle pondered for a moment and said: "Speaking of which, that person did not ask for money and silver, or sell fake Fu Dan water or anything like the previous charlatans, but wanted to barter and exchange his jade pendant for the piece of warm jade 'Huo Linglong' that Daddy gave you." ”
"Fire Linglong?"
Lin Qi was a little surprised, and said: "The warm jade 'Huo Linglong' is indeed quite strange, as long as you wear it closely, you can feel the warmth of the body, it is a treasure for cold protection in winter, I used to think that Huo Linglong might be some kind of immortal treasure, but five years ago, when the immortal chief saw me, I inquired, the warm jade is not very peculiar, it just contains a trace of fire aura, for the immortal master, it is nothing at all." ”
But the other party just named him to exchange for Huo Linglong, and he exchanged it for a piece of mutton fat jade pendant with few flaws. Lord Pingle said.
"That's weird. Lin Qi touched his chin.
Lord Pingle said: "Daddy knows that over the years, you have seen several masters of the Immortal Family, and they are extremely talented, so I want to ask you to help see if that master is true or false." ”
"Those immortal masters ......"
At this point, Lin Qi couldn't help but shake his head slightly, recalling in his mind the few immortal masters he had seen over the years, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of confusion.
......
Twenty-one years of Yong'an.
That is, fourteen years ago.
A purple-robed man wearing a strange golden mask floated into Beijing, sneaked into the East Garden of King Ning's Mansion, stood in front of Lin Qi's bed, who was only two years old, and observed for a long time.
Until the purple-robed man took the initiative to speak up and sighed: "What a piece of good talent and beautiful jade, it's a pity, it's a pity ......"
Immediately, under the gaze of the awakened nurse and the maidservant, the purple-robed man disappeared like a ghost, even if the prince sent someone to turn the house upside down, he never found the slightest clue.
......
Eleven years ago.
Lin Qi, who was five years old at the time, was playing in the royal garden, when an old man with a cane suddenly appeared on the ground, looking at Lin Qi for a moment with blazing eyes, and finally stopped his gaze on the Ugin ring on the thumb of Lin Qi's right hand, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
Then, as soon as the old man with a cane turned around, he seemed to turn into dirt and immediately melted into the ground.
Only the young Princess Taiping can testify to this experience.
......
Seven years ago.
On the day of spring hunting, Lin Qi walked on the waterside of the cold pool, looked up at the majesty of the waterfall, became a poem in seven steps in public, and a "flying stream went straight down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling nine days", attracting the applause and praise of the emperor's ministers, but when he saw the waves rising suddenly, the water waves splashed, and a hideous Jiao head suddenly poked out in the cold pool.
While everyone was panicking, Jiaolong was lying on the shore, cautiously looking at the Ugin ring on Lin Qi's finger, and then as if frightened, he froze like a sculpture, leaned less, and said: "The little demon doesn't know that you are the person who the Lord fancies, and if you are disturbed, please forgive the little ancestor." ”
After that, the dragon returned to Tan, the waves subsided, and when everyone came back to their senses, there was no shadow of Jiao.
What I saw just now was like a dream.
......
Five years ago......
Four years ago......
......
Over the years, Lin Qi had seen such strange things several times, but without exception, the other party seemed to know the Ugin Ring on his finger, and they didn't dare to mess with the blue-shirted veteran represented by the Ugin Ring.
He had already guessed that the unknown blue-shirted veteran he met on the snowy night he had crossed over must be an extraordinary person.
What puzzled him the most was that some immortal masters clearly thought that he was a good talent and a beautiful jade, but they even said the word pity.
I don't know, what are these people sorry for?
It's a pity that he has been accepted as an apprentice by that old Taoist priest?
But the old Taoist priest clearly said that he had no intention of taking him as an apprentice.
Finally...... In pity what?
