Young Master

Qiulan is overgrown, and Luo Sheng is under the hall.The green leaves are plain, and the fragrance is beautiful.

There was an uproar in the market.

A group of people blocked the passage in front of the Changfeng Tower, and now it is difficult for an ant to squeeze in.

What happened?

The young man in the blue shirt walked forward slowly to see what happened, but was blocked by a huge body.She is a middle-aged woman with a bloated figure.

"Auntie...no, girl, please step aside?"

"Ok……?"

The sound of a girl made her very happy, needless to say, she immediately backed out of the way.

"Excuse me, girl, here are just two strong men covered with whips who fell to the ground, what's so interesting?" The young man was very puzzled.

It's just that the two strong men looked familiar. Could it be that they were also from the palace?

Taking advantage of Zhang Luo's free time for the upcoming official banquet next month, he finally found a reason to go out for a stroll.On the surface, it was to prepare a gift for the new commander; in fact, he was about to get sick from boredom.Locked in the palace all day long, staring at the books and memorials for three or four hours, it is rare to have a good opportunity, and I am too sorry for myself if I don't go out for activities.

If so, it would be fun to have some fun along the way.

Alas, if you think about it carefully, the person who has always held this position is probably the laziest one.

I don't know what kind of person this new Siming will be.If he was as greedy and playful as himself, maybe the world would be in chaos, right?However, it is said that that person is an elite cultivated by the previous generation of Siming. Considering the cold and meticulous personality of the previous generation of Siming, the talents he educated must be equally strict and serious, right?Alas, that's not good.

It would be best for him to be like me, a handsome, unrestrained, young and active boy, and it would be best if he could also have a little bit of elegance...and beauty.

"Young man, young man, hello!" The woman's yelling voice brought the young man back from his imagination to reality. "Are you interested in hearing what just happened? I'll tell you right now."

"Oh, good..." The young man thought in his heart: Oh, it would be great if I could come a moment earlier, but it's a pity that I missed this good show.

"Just now, that young girl was so powerful. With a sweep of the long whip in her hand, there were two whistling sounds, and those two monster-like giants fell down."

The woman took out a handful of green onions from the vegetable basket as a whip, and waved it in the air a few times. "Like this, I saw a big red snake flying in the sky. In an instant, she hid the whip. She didn't even know where it was hidden in her clothes."

"Oh." That's really funny.

"Sister-in-law Qing, you may have misunderstood Luo." A middle-aged man came over and said, "I was standing relatively close just now, so I realized...that is a fair and clean boy at all, not a girl!"

"What? What...how? It's not a girl, what kind of girl am I to have this ability!" The woman's tone was a little disappointed.

"Well, you can't say that." The young man smiled and said, "Among the nine great gods in our Heavenly Palace, aren't there two goddesses, Mrs. Xiang and Shangui? They were so young when they first took office. Very, but they are all strong men who can stand on their own.”

"Oh, that's...that's true." The woman blushed.

"Ah, that's right." The man seemed to remember something. "Before he left, the young man seemed to say that he is the person next to the master of the Si Ming Palace."

"Master Si Ming...?"

"That's right, it's the 'Lord of the Palace of Command'."

"Hmm..." the young man snorted.

The Master of the Mansion of Siming, that is, the Young Master Siming who is in charge of the existence of human offspring and the protection of the youngest of human beings.After the former Shao Si Ming, Mr. Yue Ming, resigned from the Eastern Emperor, this position has been vacant for two years.Now, this young man claims that he is the person next to the Lord Si Ming, so is he...?

"Excuse me, did the boy give his name?"

"No, I don't know..." The man scratched his head. "Although the two strong men asked him, we didn't hear clearly whether he said it or not, how about..."

"Thank you, I'll ask them right now." After the young man finished speaking, he raised his foot and passed through the crowd in front of him.

"Ah, wait..." The man wanted to stop him, but the young man had long since disappeared. "Those two are officials no matter what, we little people... it's better not to provoke them..."

Fortunately, the young man is the person next to the master of the Siming palace, at least he has a backer if he hurts someone.Even though ordinary celestial residents have divine powers, few can compete with officials.If you offend the officials who are in charge of disasters and wealth, you will definitely be walking around for a lifetime.

When the young man walked slowly to the side of the two strong men, the two just woke up from the fainting state.Seeing this, everyone was afraid of causing trouble to themselves, so they quickly dodged.

The young man squatted down, trying to wake them up, but he saw an acquaintance!Small officials belonging to Siming Palace - two gods who are in charge of human appetite, minor disasters and misfortunes.

"Food feast, calamity demon?"

To actually cause trouble outside the palace, and make it known to everyone, this is not a punishment for copying the scriptures and sweeping the courtyard.

The two stood up slowly, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the face of the young man.For a moment, his face turned blue with fright, not knowing what to do.

"Master... Master Si Ming Piaofeng, please forgive me! The villain didn't do it on purpose! The villain will never dare to do it again..."

"Forget about the pleading. Let me ask you, what's the name of that boy just now?"

"Back to the adults, the little... I don't know..." The two kowtowed like garlic.

"I don't know? Didn't you ask?"

"He... he just said that in a few days, he will be a member of the Siming Mansion... As for the position, it's small... I don't know..."

"Oh." The young man sighed.Forget it, anyway, in a few days, the annual official banquet will be held.At that time, the boy should also appear, and...the unknown young master who has never met...

The young man waved his sleeves, and then two colorful dragons appeared at one end of the sky, with a boy on each of them.

"Si Li, Si Le, take these two back and hand them over to the criminal officer."

"Your official understands." The two bowed and bowed, leading the two strong men away.

When everyone saw this, they would poke their heads out from the corners of the streets again.The young man lost the mood to continue playing, so he had to leave in a hurry.

"It's so disappointing, I even forgot to buy the gift." The young man looked around, and when he saw no one around, he turned into a back alley, turned into an old man at a very fast speed, and then walked out.

"Well, it's really convenient to move like this. I might as well pretend to be like this next time, and sneak out to 'see the people's situation' when I have nothing to do. It's a credit for catching them this time."

The "old man" smiled, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness brought to him by the two sinners just now, and walked slowly to the other side of the market.

※※※

About a quarter ago, the path in front of Changfeng Building.

"Auntie, are you ready for the flowers you ordered earlier?"

"Okay, it's right here. Girl, judging by your appearance, you must be meeting with a certain young master. That's good, I'll take it easy on you."

"Thank you." The "girl" carefully placed the flowers in the bamboo basket, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back as if remembering something.

"What's wrong?" asked the flower seller.

"It's nothing, I think, forget it." The girl hesitated to speak, and turned to leave.

At this time, the two strong men had eaten and drank enough, and they were walking out of the Changfeng Building.The girl walked past the two of them, and when they saw each other, they felt teased and obscene.One of them ran to the front of the girl, and the other stood behind her. The girl's approach and retreat were instantly blocked.

"May I ask what advice you two have?" Seeing that the girl was not in a hurry, she asked slowly.

The God of Calamity standing in front replied, "Little girl, do you know who we are?"

"I don't know," said the girl.

"I am the god of disasters and famines, and what is behind you is the god of appetite."

"So that's it, he's a petty official who belongs to the Siming Palace."

"Oh, you know a lot! Little girl, I wonder if you are from the palace? Although you are not gorgeous or beautiful, you are quite clean. The old men are very happy to see you. It would be nice if there were more rouge and jade tins on hairpins.”

"Thank you for your suggestion, but I still have to carry out the tasks entrusted by my father. It is inconvenient to go with the two of you, so please take the first step..."

"Wait." An arm suddenly wrapped around the girl's shoulder from behind. "Do you think you can get away? Don't worry, follow me, you will have endless delicacies in your life, and your father will be very happy..."

"Hey, hey! This is what I saw first, what are you trying to do?" The person in front also said, "Be my little concubine. I am a catastrophe, a god who can bring disasters and disasters." Only, not only can you uproot all the people you hate, but it's even easier to put them to death."

"Heh." The girl snorted lightly. "Then, can you uproot yourself?"

"What..." The man's expression began to distort due to anger and humiliation.

The flower seller panicked and ran away to find someone who could rescue the girl.But most people shrink back when they hear that they are "official lords". In the end, no one dares to come forward to remonstrate.

"Hey, woman, by the way you look, I guess you are a flower god, right? I don't care whether your master is Mrs. Xiang or a mountain ghost. Our family's chief minister is the only one among the nine great gods." Second to Donghuang, with the existence of Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, etc., if you become my wife, your family can get some glory. Or... you want to go against my expectations, so that you If you die in the city, think about it carefully.”

"Hmph." The girl laughed again. "It turns out...the lower beam of the Siming Palace is very crooked. I don't know how the upper beam was created? I'm looking forward to it."

"Oh? You dare to be disrespectful to the Commander-in-Chief, and you have the guts to report your official name and surname." The girl's hands behind her back became stronger.

"Then, well, you two should listen carefully." The girl threw the bamboo basket in her hand up, just in time for a passing young man to pick it up. "Excuse me, can you please keep it for me?"

"Ah, good..." The young man didn't know what happened, so he could only stand aside obediently and watch.

Seeing that the conflict was about to break out quickly, more and more people watched, everyone was sweating coldly for the girl, and only hoped that such a disaster would not happen again and again.

I saw the young girl stretching her hands into her sleeves, showing her dimples, and the strong man clenched his fists, ready to go...

In an instant, the red snake twisted wildly.

When the snake dance slowed down, the two strong men had already fallen to the ground.

It's dizzyingly fast, and it's frighteningly fast.

Before the two of them fainted, they only vaguely heard the girl say slowly:

"After seven days, after the official banquet, I, Pei Xi, will become the head of the Siming Mansion."

※※※

A wooden house, tea, an old piano...

The scroll, the resignation, and the ink and paper are on file...

The simple and elegant, unsoiled hut has visitors today.

It is a person in the palace.

It is a young man with blue fragrant flowers embroidered on his white clothes, white satin silk on his hair, and a sachet of hydrangea in his sleeve.

The young man is not handsome or beautiful, but he has a holy spirit that is difficult for ordinary people to match.Even though his appearance is not outstanding, his temperament and demeanor are particularly outstanding among the world.

"Senior Lingjun, Pei Xi came to greet you."

"Come in. I'm busy, so I can't open the door for you."

"Okay, excuse me then."

"Please sit down as you please," said the middle-aged man in the room.He was burying his head in the ink paper, completely unaware that the entire hall was covered by scrolls of tissue paper, let alone sitting down, it was even difficult to find a place to stand.

Pei Xi carefully stepped over the pile of papers and came to the man's desk. "Senior Lingjun, my father asked me to give this to you." Pei Xi took out a letter and a bunch of herbs from the basket. "Also, he knew you liked these vanillas, and he also asked me to bring you some."

"Ah, thank you very much." The man raised his head and was surprised to see the ink manuscripts on tissue paper all over the place.Quickly stood up and kicked them to the sides, clearing a passage in the middle.

"I made you laugh, Pei Xi." The man named Ling Jun laughed.He is the leading civil servant in Tiangong, but he is not the auxiliary minister in charge of political affairs and laws, but a Cijie, the god of literature of the Prime Minister's poetry and Fu.

Because his duties have nothing to do with the governance of heaven and human affairs, he is not among the nine great gods.

Ling Jun took the letter and took a glance at it, and then he knew the purpose of the young man's visit. "The official banquet in seven days, please tell your father, I will go."

"Yes, Pei Xi will tell you."

"By the way, Pei Xi." Ling Jun asked, "It is said that this time the young commander was selected by your father who was trained and trained by your father. Is this true?" Although this is just a legend.Generally speaking, the successors of the nine great gods must be recommended by the other seven and can only take office after being personally assessed and approved by the Eastern Emperor.

Pei Xi's father, Yue Ming, was also the former head of the Siming Palace. Two years ago, due to a negligence in his duties, he invited him to leave. Later, he reached a private agreement with the Eastern Emperor to personally teach the next Siming.What is the reason, and what happened to the mistakes made back then, are still unsolvable mysteries in the Tiangong, and only Donghuang and the people involved know it in their hearts.There are still many puzzling things. The former Da Si Ming disappeared shortly after Yue Ming voluntarily invited him to go. Later, Mrs. Xiang recommended the "God of Seven Emotions" to serve Da Si Ming Assuming this position, this person is the current Mistress Piaofeng.

Of course, Pei Xi didn't know about these things, and his father never mentioned them.The only thing he knows is that during the two years when the young commander was selected as Kong Que, Yuelao Qixiu and his father's god man were responsible for the affairs of the Siming's mansion.

And, in the past two years, what kind of method was used to cultivate and train the new Si Ming.

Pei Xi replied as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Of course, this was also the result of training.

"Senior Lingjun, this is true." Youyou replied, the childishness and innocence of the past are no longer there.

"Then, do you know who that person is?"

"This...Pei Xi doesn't know who her future master will be, and my father never told me about it." When he said these words, a smile appeared on Pei Xi's face.

"Oh, even my own son is so guarded, Yue Ming is really..." Ling Jun sighed, and sat back on the seat in front of the desk. "Actually, I don't need to be invited by my father, I will also go to the official banquet. Look, am I preparing a congratulatory gift?"

"With words as a courtesy?" That's really different.

"Yeah, Pei Xi, come here and help me take a look, I've never been able to do this well..."

"This...Pei Xi is not talented, I'm afraid it's not good." That's what he said, but Pei Xi still stood beside the paper.

- Qiulan is overgrown, and Luo Sheng is under the hall.The green leaves are plain, and the fragrance is beautiful.

The lady has her own beautiful son, so why is Sun so sad?

The autumn orchids are green, and the green leaves are purple stems.

The hall is full of beauties, and suddenly I am alone with Yu Xi.

When you enter, you don't say anything, when you leave, you don't say goodbye. When you ride the wind, you can carry the cloud flag.

Don't be sad, let's be parted, and be happy, let's get acquainted with each other. -【Note 1】

"It's fine so far, but I haven't seen the appearance of this commander, so I don't know how to describe his posture. Pei Xi, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." Pei Xi lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Pei Xi heard that witches in the world wear lotus leaves as clothes and cymbidium as their belts. The sacrificial hall is full of fragrance and flowers, seniors may as well go Think about it here."

"Oh...that's a good way." From the perspective of a witch priest, it doesn't matter if you don't directly describe Si Ming's appearance.Moreover, it is impossible for human beings to know the appearance of the gods.

Ling Jun dipped his pen into the ink, and within a short time he wrote the sentence "the lotus clothes and the lavender belt, come and go in a blink of an eye".

"That's right, Pei Xi. The clumsy remarks you saw here today must not be spread before the official banquet." Ling Jun did not forget to remind, although he thought from the bottom of his heart that Pei Xi would definitely keep it a secret .

"Pei Xi knows. Besides, Pei Xi has an unreasonable request..."

"Tell me." Ling Jun just didn't understand, he and Pei Xi's father had been friends for decades at least, why is this kid still being polite?This temperament is really similar to Yue Ming.

"Can the "Nine Songs" made by the senior be borrowed by Pei Xi for a few days?"

The Nine Songs is a speech written by Lingdu by the nine great gods in the sky. Every time a newcomer ascends the throne, Lingjun will compose another song. There are already more than ten poems accumulated.

"Yes." Ling Jun took down a yellowed book from the cabinet. "I remember that two years ago, I wrote a poem for the new chief commander. Two years later, it was the young commander's turn. The job of commander is indeed difficult. Seeing so many deaths and partings, if it is not A person who is ruthless in love will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Hmm..." Pei Xi didn't take it seriously, she had heard the same words tens of thousands of times from her father.What he wants to know most now is another thing.

"Besides, senior, do you know what kind of person the current Chief Commander is?"

Siming Palace and Siming Mansion are two connected organizations. There are no walls or rooms between the palaces. They work and sleep in the same area on weekdays. Therefore, it is natural for Pei Xi to inquire about the "neighbors" first. human being.

Unexpectedly, Ling Jun shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention it.

"Are you talking about Piaofeng? Alas, this kid... doesn't look like a commanding officer at all. If he is a month old, he might be more suitable."

"Ah?" Pei Xi was very surprised. "Other than that?"

"Ah, that's bad! Pei Xi, you can't tell anyone about this. Piaofeng was recommended by Mrs. Xiang, and everyone doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Of course, he will still do his business, and I am very happy with it." It’s capable, but unfortunately...it’s a little more fun.”

"Fun?"

"Yeah, it's fun. Everyone is guessing, and they're all watching the show, to see how long such a guy can work hard, and whether there will be any big troubles one day. He was originally the "God of Seven Emotions", and his emotions are so rich. Very, but you know, the Commander-in-Chief is in charge of the life and death of human beings, and this is very serious. Having said that, it is very rare that there have been no mistakes in the past two years."

"Is that so..." I don't know if I can get along with him?Pei Xi thought to herself.

"That's right, it was only when I talked about these nine songs that I got angry. He frowned and said to me: "Is this speech really for me? I don't look like me at all." How could I Do you know? I don't know what kind of person he is, and the commanders of the past generations are often indifferent, alas..."

Pei Xi opened the back pages of the book, and there was a poem called "Da Si Ming" on it.

-Open the gate of heaven wide, and let me take advantage of the mysterious clouds.Make the wind move forward, make the freezing rain sprinkle the dust.

Jun Huixiang is below, and Sang Xi is from the female.There are always people in Kyushu, why is He Shouyao here?

Fly high and fly peacefully, take advantage of the clear qi to guard against yin and yang. 【Note 2】

Imposing and majestic, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the image of a fun person.

"Look, how can this word be worthy of Piaofeng? Afterwards, I originally planned to write another song for him, but he said to me: 'Forget it, I get a headache when I read this thing, I just like to guess riddles, Funny stuff like doggerel.’ Tell me, Pei Xi, are you angry?”

"Well, it's really annoying." Pei Xi smiled.Pei Xi had already made up his mind about this Commander, the Palace Master of Commander who was a step ahead of him.

※※※

After bidding farewell to Xian Lingjun, the next step is to send the invitation letter to Yuelao Qixiu's residence.

My father has already made arrangements for the eight great gods, and it's my turn to be busy, only my father's subordinates and past best friends.

Qiyuanju belongs to the Siming Mansion, and Yuelao, who is in charge of marriages in the world, must be handed over to Shao Siming for decision before acting.Under normal circumstances, Si Ming will let Yuelao handle it by himself, unless it is a marriage that is too unreasonable.

The current Yuelao Qixiu is rumored to be a humorous old man, and in fact he is.He watched Pei Xi grow up since he was a child, he was busy with his life, and always entrusted his son to the idle officials below to take care of him.

These years, the world is in the Warring States Period, when everyone just wants to have food and clothing in times of chaos, Yuelao naturally becomes an idler.

Pei Xi has seen the temperament of this old man long ago. He is very naughty, always disregarding his father's will to make lovers get married.For some reason, my father argued with him about many unreasonable marriages, but then he gradually followed his wishes. Maybe this is a kind of respect for the old man?

Without time to think, Pei Xi lightly opened the door of Qi Yuanju.

The boy led him to the entrance of a quiet flower path, and then bowed and retreated.

Pei Xi originally wanted to go in, but she gave up, Yuelao was drinking tea and chatting with a young man inside.

The man was about a hundred or two hundred years older than himself. If converted to human age, he would be about three or four years old.

Dongjun Xihe's light fell down, making his long hair look extra bright.Once Fengshen Feilian brushes past, it will be indescribably elegant.

Pei Xi glanced at him, and couldn't help but admire the confidence and demeanor in his gestures.She lowered her eyes and looked at herself again, alas, she is already an adult, and she is about to become a commanding officer, but... no matter how she looks or her demeanor, she is not worthy of being listed among the nine great gods.Although, he didn't know who the man's master was among the nine great gods, and what rank he was.

"Alas..." Pei Xi secretly looked at the man, from his angle he could only see half of his face, the other half was hidden among the bushes and flowers.

His mood of self-pity and self-pity did not last long, because the topic of the conversation between the two had already shifted from the subtle relationship between Dong Junxihe and Yunzhong Jun Pingyi to this official banquet.

It turned out that the man came here to inquire about his affairs, and Yue Lao seemed to have already understood his purpose.

"Hehe, are you asking me about Pei Xi? To tell you the truth, he was just inquiring about the matter of Da Si Ming a while ago."

"Oh, how did you tell him?"

"I only know that Master Da Si Ming is a beautiful young man who is unrestrained and unruly, and he is easy to get along with."

"Really? I hope he can believe this and stop asking others how they are doing." The man laughed.

"Yeah? By others you mean Cixian Lingjun?" Yuelao asked.

"Yes, he was right."

"But Pei Xi seems to have gone to him this morning, and the master instructed him to do something."

"That's it, alas." The man's tone was a little sad, but then he put his smile back on his face. "It's okay, I can't wait to meet this Commander."

"Ha, that's just right. The invitation letter for the official banquet has not been delivered to me yet, please sit down for a while, I think the person should be here soon."

"Ah!" Pei Xi was startled, and inadvertently let out a short cry, which immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

Before he has figured out what kind of posture he will use to face the world, he must not show up as "Shao Commander".What he did in the market just now was just to punish the arrogant.What's more, he spoke extremely fast, and ran away without a trace after finishing speaking, it is expected that those two people could not understand what he was saying.

After hastily stuffing the invitation letter into the boy's hand, Pei Xi hurried away.

Yuelao and the man just walked out, and saw the boy standing there with a dazed expression on his face.

"Did Pei Xi come here just now?" Yuelao asked.

"He's gone, leave this here." The boy handed over the letter with both hands.

"Oh, I must have heard the conversation and knew that you wanted to see him."

"Huh? Am I so scary? Why run away." The man shrugged helplessly. "It's okay, don't rush for a while, I'll wait patiently for another week."

Well, the shy young commander, the tough boy in the market... It seems that this year's official banquet is quite exciting.

The man looked at Dong Junxi and the light that shone red on the earth, while the clouds surrounded him with the crimson sunset, expressing his infinite love and lovesickness.

That was the admiration that Jun Pingyi of Yunzhong sent over from Yunhe.

"Maybe, similar things will happen in Siming Palace." The man smiled happily, while Yuelao beside him didn't say a word, staring at the half-bundle of red thread in his hand, with a smile slowly spreading between his cheeks.
