Chapter 18: Mr. Nan Huai
Starry Night.
In the palace city of the Sutang Empire, where the pavilions were lined up and the lights were bright, a female bachelor of the Danyuan Academy Palace with beautiful eyes, red lips and red eyes pushed a wooden cart towards the Qin Tianjian office.
On the wooden wheeled car sat the Taishi of the early years of the dynasty who was over 100 years old.
Fifteen years ago, Taishi Li Guochu was hung up for the Nine Emperor Princes, not only spent ten years of yang life, but even his legs suffered from backlash because of peeking into the heavens, and he still can't stand up.
This is the root cause of the instant aging of the original vigorous adults of the beginning of the country.
However, Li Guochu did not regret it. Everything he did was nothing more than conforming to the way of heaven and sticking to his heart, and a mere pair of legs and ten years of life were nothing.
The wooden wheeled cart in the white jade wall carved with dragons and phoenixes was getting slower and slower, Li Guochu looked up at the female bachelor, and called softly: "Apprentice." ”
However, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Su Nuannuan, a female bachelor who was accepted as a disciple by the Master Taishi who was in charge of the Danyuan Academy, came back to her senses, and pushed the arm of the wooden wheel cart with a slight force: "Teacher." ”
Master Li smiled: "Do you have something on your mind?"
Su Nuannuan pursed her natural-colored red lips and shook her head.
"Although you are a royal princess, your biological mother died early and her status is humble. From childhood to adulthood, he has been blinded by the masters and servants in the palace. Because the teacher saw that you were forbearant and intelligent, and that you were gentle, well-behaved and sensible, he accepted you as a disciple, but there are some things that you don't need to endure when you don't have to endure them, and you have to say them when you should say them, and it is useless to stuff yourself in your heart and body, do you know?"
For this female apprentice, Taishi Li Guochu loved her very much. Danyuan has hundreds of bachelors in the palace, but when it comes to wisdom, there is really no doll that can compare.
Su Nuannuan, who should have been respected as a princess but had never enjoyed the same treatment, said softly: "Recently, the palace has been talking about the Nine Emperor Brothers who have returned to the north, and the disciples are just a little curious, so they are distracted. ”
Then remembering something, Su Nuannuan asked, "Teacher, the congenital disease of the Nine Emperor Brothers has been cured?"
Master Li smiled kindly.
Emperor Jingyou was sick and summoned Su Hanshan, the ninth prince who grew up in the Southern Dynasty, to return to Tang. In recent days, whether it is the people of Tiandu City or within the high walls of this deep palace, there is only a lot of talk about Su Hanshan.
People are curious about what His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, who grew up in Buddhism since childhood, looks like, tall or short, fat or thin, whether he has taken refuge in Buddhism, whether he is practicing or not, whether he is good or evil...... There was a lot of talk and a lot of expectations.
But it's the first family to care about congenital hidden diseases like this girl.
Maybe that's what sets her apart.
Master Li pondered for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to heal, but I don't have to worry about my life." Speaking of which, the two of you are a prince and a princess, and the experiences in the past ten years are somewhat similar. ”
Su Nuannuan thought of her biological mother, was sad for a while, and lowered her head: "I don't dare to compare with the Nine Emperor Brothers." ”
Master Li sighed lightly.
It's good everywhere, it's just that the habit of sentimentality really needs to be changed.
The master and apprentice came to the Qintianjian stargazing platform.
The star officer on duty saw the arrival of Master Taishi, and hurriedly stepped forward: "The lower official has seen Lord Taishi." ”
Taishi Li, who is a very human minister, stretched out his hand to signal for exemption.
Looking at the boxy observatory about ten feet high, he asked, "Is Mr. here?"
Looking at the entire Sutang Empire, there is only one person who can be respected as a gentleman by Taishi Li Guochu, and that is the old priest of Qin Tianjian Jiu Nanhuaizi. The person who once predicted the three hundred Warring States, the Spring and Autumn Period of Jiazi, is also a well-deserved teacher of Taishi Li Guochu.
The star officer hesitated slightly: "Mr. Nanhuai has left the palace." ”
Li Guochu was surprised: "When did you leave the palace?"
The star official didn't dare to hide anything: "About a month ago, Mr. said to meet someone. ”
Li Guochu asked again: "The little junior brother also follows?"
The star officer replied, "Yes." ”
"Did you ever tell me where you were going, and who you saw?"
"This, the lower officials don't know. ”
Taishi Li Guochu pondered slightly.
He really couldn't figure out who Mr. chose to meet in this kind of joint leaving the palace.
Unless, it is His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes who returned to the north.
......
Gu Changting led the caravan to the foot of Luofu Mountain, twenty miles north of Yangzhou City, and Su Hanshan and Huang Xiang'er got off the carriage in order.
Suddenly, seeing a famous scholar on the mountain coming along the stone steps, Gu Changting signaled, and Dong Bowu and Hu Ji hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
The scholar stood on tiptoe and looked at the crowd, and asked, "Which one is Su Hanshan Su Gongzi?"
The crown prince Li Tianxia hugged his sword and looked at it.
I thought that in the territory of the Southern Dynasties, how could Su Hanshan be treated more well than himself, the prince who would inherit the unification in the future.
Su Hanshan, who was covered with wooden hairpins and green silk, stepped forward to salute.
Although this familiar scene made him feel quite unnatural, he still had to learn to accept it in his heart. Even if he was really weird, everyone seemed to know his itinerary along the way.
Dongbo Wu and Hu Ji, who were born in Yanyu Villa, stepped back, and the scholar said: "Knowing that the distinguished guest has settled in Luofu Mountain, Mr. has prepared tea, and the special order is to invite the son to go up the mountain." ”
There is no reason not to enter the mountain gate.
Moreover, the group had planned to spend a night in Luofu Mountain, so they couldn't avoid it because of the hospitability of the mountain owner, and they were too cautious.
Su Hanshan groaned and said, "Then I'll bother." ”
"Brother Su, go quickly. ”
Huang Shang'er suddenly appeared from behind her, rudely holding Su Hanshan's arm and pulling the Nine Emperor Princes to climb the mountain.
The old man Huang Mei, who was carrying a chessboard with willow branches, was still unyielding, chasing after Huang Shang'er and asking: "Girl, the old man must have seen you before." ”
"Sixty years ago?"
"No, it should be seventy years. ”
"Seventy-two years ago, wasn't it?"
"Na, if you don't speak, you're acquiescing......"
Su Hanshan and Li Tianxia felt that Huang Mei's predecessors must have a shadow in their hearts when they lost both silver.
Along the way, the words went crazy. Seventy-two years ago, could it be that Qin Wuyang was the legendary immortal of the Qin Dynasty?
......
There is a Wenshu Monastery on Luofu Mountain that was once as famous as the painting hall of the Five Classics of Confucianism in Jiangdong.
Interestingly, Chen Danqing, the owner of the academy who was not confused, guarded this ancestral inheritance, but he had no interest in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting for half his life, but he admired the strange people who played magic in the rivers and lakes under the mountain.
After 40 years of boring and boring, I don't know where the gods and goddesses appear in the heavens, so he met an old physiognomy who knows how to divination, and the image tends to be auspicious and avoid evil, and calculates gossip.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, there is finally a good opportunity to ask for advice or two, where is Chen Danqing willing to let the old phase master leave. So the master of the courtyard did not hesitate to take out the pearls under the sea that had been treasured for several years and brewed a pot, and he also wanted to let the predecessors of the strange people who wandered the rivers and lakes stay for a night, and by the way, ask the ghosts and gods.
In the course of the conversation, the old master revealed that there will be nobles in Luofu Mountain tonight.
Chen Danqing couldn't stand the old Jianghu's pretending to be a mysterious hanger, and finally asked the reason for the result...... It turned out that the Nine Emperors of the Sutang Empire and the Prince of the Southern Dynasty were passing by Luofu.
Lest he neglect the distinguished guests, Chen Danqing called the scholar to wait at the mountain gate early.
