Chapter 54 The Gatekeeper
"Hey, what do you want!" Xu Dongzhi shouted as he looked at the absent-minded Lin Sanchuan.
Lin Sanchuan turned around and shouted at her: "Why don't you let me go back to see my daughter-in-law!"
Xu Dongzhi didn't reprimand him, and sighed lightly: "Grandson, come here, grandma will make it clear to you." Lin Sanchuan walked over and sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Xu Dongzhi said: "Actually, you are the next mayor of Maogu Town, grandma should have explained this to you a long time ago, but in the past, due to outsiders, there has never been a chance." Lin Sanchuan is a master who is good at pinching soft persimmons, and when he heard Xu Dongzhi whispering softly to himself, he became even more crazy and shouted: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart!"
Xu Dongzhi frowned and smiled, and said: "Let's tell you about the origin of Maogu Town first, if you want to talk about this, you have to start from the founding of the Song Ancestor in three hundred years." At that time, Song Zu was far-sighted, and he saw at a glance that the Western Wolf Xia and the Northern Liao State were my henchmen after the Great Song Dynasty, so before he died, he found two places in the north and south to be a moat, and each sent a henchman of his own to guard it. The moat in the west is the small town of Maogu, and the moat in the north is the Zhenyan Mountain. It is your ancestors, that is, grandma's, who guard the West."
Lin Sanchuan smiled and said: "In this way, that Dongye Taoist is also a very good person!" Xu Dongzhi frowned, his apricot eyes opened, and he glared at Lin Sanchuan, she scolded: "Shut up, listen to grandma!" Lin Sanchuan lowered his head, and he didn't dare to speak. Xu Dongzhi continued: "In fact, in addition to my grandfather and Li Dongye, there was a mysterious master who accepted the order of Song Zu and stayed in the palace. This master stayed in the palace, firstly to protect the royal family, and secondly, to supervise my grandfather and Li Dongye. But just seven years ago, the Liao people pressed the border. At that time, although the comparison between the strength of Zhao Wangye, the defender of the north, and the Liao State, was huge, he was able to block the Liao army by virtue of the earthquake of the mountains and moats. But at this time, Li Dongye heard the news that the master guarding the palace had died.
After Li Dongye got the news, he actually broke through the Earthquake Barrier Mountain that he was guarding. At that time, the earthquake hindered the collapse of the mountain, crushing many of Zhao Shouguan's subordinates, and the Liao people entered the pass. Zhao Shouguan knew that this battle was bound to be lost, and in order to prevent innocent people from suffering, he reached an alliance with the Liao people, he did not resist and let the Liao people go south, and the Liao people needed to promise that they would not do anything to slaughter the city and kill them after going south. ”
Lin Sanchuan was angry when he heard this, and he said: "At the beginning, I only said that Zhao Shouguan was a heinous traitor, but I didn't think that the old man with the bull nose was the mastermind behind the scenes! Grandma, why did the old man do this?"
Xu Dongzhi said lightly: "For the sake of immortality!" This Li Dongye is already about to die, and it won't be long before he will drive the crane west. But he was not reconciled, he wanted to continue to live, the invasion of the Liao people and the death of the third mysterious master gave him a chance, he broke through the earthquake barrier mountain, and went to Yanlin to find Qin Zhonghui. At that time, the royal family of the Song Dynasty could have fought with the Liao State, but Li Dongye agreed with Qin Zhonghui that he would slaughter the imperial family, and Qin Zhonghui would find a replacement. The current Zhao Zhan is the most unfavored son of the King of Ganjiang, and was found by Qin Zhonghui to be the emperor. At that time, under the internal and external troubles of the Great Song Dynasty, he had no choice but not to move the capital to Lin'an. Now, all three second-rate figures have been consummated. The unfavored prince became the emperor, and the mediocre editor became the head of a hundred officials, and the culprit who let the Liao people enter the customs became the immortal master who was worshiped by the state, and he was proud to prolong his life and prolong his life. Grandson, do you think this Dongye Daoist should be killed!"
Lin Sanchuan nodded and said, "Kill!"
Xu Dongzhi said with a smile: "Okay! Li Dongye retreated the day before yesterday, and in ten days, it will be the day of his discharge, and at that time, grandma will lead you into the banyan forest and take the life of Li Dongye's dog!"
"Good ......"
Lin Sanchuan put down the hands that were about to be clapped together, frowned, and said, "Grandma, aren't you fooling me by saying this?" Xu Dongzhi snorted coldly and said: "I traveled the world with my grandfather and the two of us, and it took seven years to find the truth of the matter, what's the matter, are you afraid?" Lin Sanchuan patted his legs and shouted: "I'm afraid of a shit!"
Xu Dongzhi's expression eased, and he smiled: "Okay, this matter is over, you will go back to Maogu Town with me and perform the duties of the town lord." ”
"This ...... Grandma, can I take my daughter-in-law and apprentice with me?" Lin Sanchuan said tentatively.
Xu Dongzhi smiled: "Your family can naturally bring it." ”
Lin Sanchuan smiled at ease and said, "I'll tell you the truth, grandma, in fact, since I saw the scenery of that town, I have dreamed of going somewhere, but when I go here, there is a lack of someone by my son's side to help me, and I really can't rest assured." ”
Xu Dongzhi shook his head and said: "Everyone has their own creation, you say, do you live for yourself, or do you live for others?" Lin Sanchuan said: "I didn't think about this, it was who was good to me before, and who I lived for." Xu Dongzhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma has her own way to get Dong Sun'er to Maogu Town." ”
"Seriously!"
"Really. ”
Lin'an, Chiang's Mansion.
Wan Yiqi picked up the teacup, looked at Duan Qingliu and Jiang Qinzhou, and said with a smile: "Jiang Shumi, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Jiang Qinzhou said: "Lord Wan, today in the court, you must have seen that Qin Xiang has already regarded you as an outcast. In fact, it's no wonder that Qin Xiang is blaming you, it's just that you are too eager for quick success. Wan Yiqi sighed: "Who would have thought that Qin Xiang would hook up with Lao Lu, these two people never got along with each other in the past!"
Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said: "Qin Xiangneng has been standing in the temple for many years, in addition to having His Majesty's favor, that is, he is an old man who knows how to make friends. After this incident, Lu Lao, an innocent veteran of the Three Dynasties, could be regarded as sitting in the same boat as Qin Xiang. In the future, Prime Minister Qin wants power and power, and he wants to be famous, looking at my Great Song Dynasty officialdom, who can be his opponent. Master Wan, do you think you will still have good fruits to eat in Qin Xiang's place in the future?"
Wan Yiqi smiled bitterly:
"It's gone, this old Lu won't squeeze me to death in the future for the sake of his son-in-law?" Jiang Qinzhou smiled: "It's not difficult for the ship to leave the port, and it's not difficult for Yi Zhou." Didn't Lord Wan think about sitting on a different boat?"
Wan Yiqi glanced at Jiang Qinzhou meaningfully, and sneered: "Jiang Shumi, although your boat is big, it may not be comfortable to sit up. ”
Jiang Qinzhou said with a smile: "If you don't pay for the boat, you may not be comfortable in any boat." ”
Wan Yiqi smiled and said, "Jiang Shumi, what kind of boat money do you want?"
Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said: "I want Wan Yiqi to write an excerpt, and ask Your Majesty to hand over the errand of silk weaving and porcelain making that Lord Wan is now responsible for to Lord Duan to do......" Before Jiang Qinzhou finished speaking, Wan Yiqi stood up, and he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Shumi, you are asking for my life!"
Jiang Qinzhou said lightly: "Lord Wan can go to the vegetable market now to take a look, Master Zhang Jun and Master Zhang have been beheaded." Zhang's father and son all died, and a good family became ruined, old and young in the house, lonely and helpless! Lord Wan, you have seen clearly by Qin Xiang's side over the years, you should know what will happen once you are recognized as an abandoned son by Qin Xiang. Even Qin Xiang's only son was dissatisfied with Qin Xiang's style of doing things, and he was actually demoted to the frontier by Qin Xiang, and he has not been reused so far. And Wan Daren looks back at me here, and my like-minded friend, that is not a stable and high-ranking official. This is because I regard the people around me as close friends, and Qin Xiang treats the people around me as chess pieces. Don't you want to make friends if you don't want to give some sincerity?"
Wan Yiqian frowned tightly and was speechless for a long time.
Duan Qingliu smiled suddenly: "Lord Wan actually doesn't need to worry too much, I don't want to snatch this errand from Lord Wan, I just want to do this errand with Lord Wan, we can join forces, Lord Wan is responsible for burning porcelain, and Lord Wan is responsible for silk." ”
Wan Yiqi sat down again, smiled miserably, and said: "It's me who did it myself, and now I've forced myself to no way out, and now I can only ask for stability, and what else can I force." Seeing this, Jiang Qinzhou and Duan Qingliu looked at each other and smiled. Now that Jiang Qinzhou is in the temple like the sun is rising, if he can make another great contribution, he will be able to sit on the top spot of His Royal Highness Jin Luan.
Wan Yiqi did things vigorously and resolutely, and within half a day, he went to the fold, played the emperor, and divided the weaving errand into two, which was undertaken by him and Duan Qingliu. Zhao Zhen only wants silver now, and looking at Wan Yiqi's earnest words, he will approve it immediately, and reply with four words, doing his best.
When it was night, Jiang Cishu returned to Jiang's mansion, and this time Feng Lan sent someone to bring her back with a letter. As soon as Jiang Ciyu arrived, Feng Lan greeted him, and said with a face of vicissitudes: "Ci'er, go and take a look, your brother is dying!" Jiang Cizhuo's heart sank, and she trotted to Jiang Chuzhe's house. When she saw her brother for the first time, Jiang Cijun was stunned and wanted to cry. She only saw that Jiang Chuzhe, who was originally a handsome young man and had both civil and military skills, was unkempt and disheveled at this time. Jiang Chuzhe sat on the ground, holding a wooden fish in his arms, and kept giggling.
It turned out that Jiang Chuzhe was frightened after the last incident, and he only knew how to cry and laugh all day long. Feng Lan didn't want to tell Jiang Ci about this, but early this morning, Jiang Chuzhe vomited a mouthful of blood. This scared Feng Lan so much that she had no master, and she had no choice but to call Jiang Ciyu.
Jiang Cishu came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Jiang Chuzhe, and choked speechlessly. After a while, she said in a trembling voice full of distress: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Chuzhe was stunned when he heard Jiang Cishu's voice, and after a while, Jiang Chuzhe suddenly howled and cried: "Sister!
She!
Jiang Cishu looked at the wooden fish in Jiang Chuzhe's hand, as if he had an understanding.
When Jiang Chuzhe woke up, he dimly saw a girl sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a bowl in both hands, her lips fluttering, blowing away the steaming heat. Although it was dim, Jiang Chuzhe recognized that the person in front of him was not the little Bodhisattva he had been thinking about for a long time? Suddenly, Jiang Chuzhe didn't know where the strength came from, so he stiffened up and grabbed the girl's wrist. The girl was shocked, she struggled, and a bowl of hot soup was spilled on Jiang Chuzhe's body. Jiang Chuzhe let out a "ah-yo" sound and was burned to his senses. At the same time, I only heard a woman shouting: "Chu Zhe, don't be rude!"
Jiang Chuzhe hurriedly let go of the girl's hand and said, "Sister, isn't this a dream!"
Jiang Cishu walked to the side of the bed and said with a smile: "Chu Zhe, don't you apologize to the little master Jingxin?" The girl sitting on the edge of the bed, with a red face, was the little nun Jingxin. Jiang Cishu looked at Jiang Chuzhe, who was stunned, shook his head and said, "Little Master Jingxin is merciful and promises me to take care of you, but if you don't say thank you, why are you still rude to Little Master Jingxin?"
Jiang Chuzhe came back to his senses, turned around and knelt on the bed, and threw himself down towards Jingxin's deep waist, he said, "Boy, thank you for the life-saving grace of Little Master Jingxin!"
Jingxin hurriedly stood up, waved her two little hands in a panic, and she said, "I can't help it, I can't help it!"
Jiang Ciyu smiled and hugged Jingxin's shoulder, and said, "Make, why can't you do it? Little Master Jingxin, you are my brother's life-saving medicine." ”
"Madame......"
Jiang Cijun and Jingxin looked at each other, and their eyes were a little complicated. Jiang Cishu turned his head and said, "Okay, I'll go first, calm down little master, and ask you to take care of your brother for a while." With that, Jiang Cijun walked out, and Jingxin hurriedly followed, but was stopped by the door that closed with a "bang".
Jing Jing returned to the bed in despair, and said softly: "Jiang Gongzi, I will take out the futon and dry it for you." ”
Jiang Chuzhe hurriedly said: "This kind of rough work, where can I get the master to do it, let me come." ”
Jing Xin smiled and said:
"I grew up doing rough work since I was a child, how can I not do it with a quilt? And Sister Ling is kind to me, and I should do this. ”
Jiang Chuzhe frowned and asked, "Master, I don't know yet, how did you meet my sister?"
Jing Xin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I can't tell Childe about you." ”
Jiang Chuzhe was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because I don't want to speak." ”
Jiang Chuzhe nodded and said, "Then I won't ask." With that, he got out of bed, smiled quietly, and gathered up the futon. Jiang Chuzhe looked at his sweetheart in front of him, he couldn't hold it back, and asked again: "What kind of kindness does that sister have with the master?"
Meditation pondered for a while, and said lightly: "Help me get out of the sea of suffering, does this count?"
Although Jiang Chuzhe didn't understand what he meant, he nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Count, count......"
Tonight, Jiang Cishu stayed at Jiang's mansion for dinner.
There were also Jiang Qinzhou, Feng Lan, Jiang Chuzhe and Jingxin at the dinner table. In order to take care of meditation, tonight's table is an exquisite vegetarian feast.
Jiang Qinzhou was the first to speak and smiled: "Little Master, thank you for taking care of the dog, the dog is naturally squeamish, so the little master bothered." ”
Jing Xin smiled and said, "The monks are merciful, and Master Jiang is polite. ”
Jiang Ciyu said with a smile: "Why do you say more? Today, not only is this dish vegetarian, but even this plate and chopsticks are newly purchased by poor people, not a little meaty, please feel free to use it, you will definitely not be able to break the precept." ”
Jing Xin trembled when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The princess is bothered. Jingxin lowered his head, ate silently, and stopped talking.
After a while, Jiang Qinzhou said to Feng Lan: "Madam, Qingliu is going to build a few more weaving yards, but the lack of female workers is really embarrassing, you see what other ways there are." ”
Jiang Chuzhe looked at Jing Xin, and suddenly said, "Daddy, I can recruit some female workers." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Qinzhou looked at Jiang Chuzhe suspiciously, and said lightly: "Don't make trouble for your father." ”
Jiang Chuzhe smiled and said, "Daddy, don't worry, I won't be out for three days, and I will bring someone to you." Jiang Qinzhou said lightly: "Okay, if you can get this matter done, Your Majesty's anger will also disappear a little." ”
When Jiang Chuzhe heard this, his body trembled involuntarily. Jingxin saw Jiang Chuzhe's abnormality, she put a chopstick dish into Jiang Chuzhe's bowl, and said with a smile: "Bitter gourd, you can meditate." ”
Jiang Chuzhe was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Thank you." ”
The bamboo curtain is singing, and the jade ring is playing.
Biyin turned her head to look at Chai Yanqing on the side, and said with a smile: "Second Master Chai, the slave maid has finally untied the nine links." ”
Chai Yanqing frowned and said, "Good girl, why do you always refuse to call me Brother Qingqing?"
Biyin lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyebrows, and said softly: "Second Master Chai, the slave knows that you are very good to the slave and maid, not very good, but very good! In this life, no one has been so good to the slave and maid. But...... But the slave maid ...... in her heart"
Chai yelled suddenly: "Don't say it!"
Biyin hurriedly closed his mouth, Chai Yanqing stared at Biyin's delicate side face, his eyes couldn't help but soften, he smiled and said: "Good girl, don't blame me, I know what you have to say, but I really don't want to hear it." ”
Biyin nodded and said, "Second Master Chai... Later...... Don't be so nice to slaves......"
Chai Yanqing smiled: "Good girl, in this life, I have to treat her well with all the people I fancy to her." If you don't want it to be your own business, I want it to be my own business, you can scold me for ignoring me, but you don't care about me. ”
Biyin secretly glanced at Chai Yanqing, under the light of the bright stars, Chai Yanqing's face seemed to gradually merge with the other person's face, and in an instant, Biyin's eyes became blurred. She muttered in her heart, "Just once...... It's good to ...... once."
Chai Yanqing suddenly felt that his palms were hot, he looked down, and saw Biyin gently holding him. He couldn't be indifferent, he wanted to hold Biyin's fiery body in his arms now, but the next moment, Biyin was like a bird, leaving in a panic, leaving only Chai Qingwu to smile bitterly.
Ouchi, in the middle of nowhere, in a remote palace.
I saw Zhao Zheng walking back and forth, he walked for a while, sat down again, drank tea, and ate. Suddenly, a person clapped his hands behind him and laughed: "Okay, you are really smart, your body movements are not much different from the real emperor." ”
Zhao Zhan turned his head and found that this person was Zhao Zhan, but Wang Xiucheng! And the person behind him was Yu Huanzi. Wang Xiucheng knelt on the ground, rubbed his knees and came to Yu Huanzi, raised his head reverently, and said, "Immortal Master, is your face-changing technique really feasible!"
Yu Huanzi smiled and said: "Let's be honest, only my master can do such superb skills as face changing, but I can give you a disguise, and I can still confuse the real with the fake." ”
Wang Xiucheng bowed his head and said, "Immortal Master, hurry up, change my face quickly!"
Yu Huanzi smiled and said, "You're still a little bit off." ”
Wang Xiucheng raised his head again and wondered, "What am I missing?"
Yu Huanzi smiled but did not speak.
