Shen Gong Ji

Chapter 24

Hey... Now that things have happened, it seems meaningless to deny that I am a member of the Wuxie clan. No one will believe me when I tell the truth... So I replied, "Uh...well..."

He noticed the strangeness in my tone, "Is it?"

"I'm not a born Wuxie clansman, but they regard me as a celestial being, so I'm also a Wuxie clansman."

"So you are the heavenly man they have been waiting for?" Judging from Zhu Ran's tone, it seemed that he had a relationship with the Wuxie people before, and he looked at me from head to toe as if he had just met me Once again, and then said lightly, "It's different from what I imagined."

I was a little upset, "...the prince knows about our Wuxie clan?"

"After all, it used to be in Qi State, but now it is considered to be in Yan State." He said, his eyes suddenly wandered elsewhere.I think this Zhu Ran is really a difficult person, I don't know what he wants to do.

I have a feeling of being on pins and needles.

At this time, he seemed to be about to leave. His eyes, which were as cold as the cool spring in the mountain, looked at me again, and his gaze into the water wrapped around him, "I am honored to meet Yang Cairen during my visit. I hope there will be some time in the future."

I just breathed a sigh of relief, and when I was about to return the salute, he who was about to leave suddenly turned around again, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth that had never smiled at me, "Besides, you look beautiful when you smile. "

I froze for a moment, and then his figure disappeared into the shadow of the flowers. He seemed to be heading in another direction. It was probably because the hustle and bustle of the banquet made him a little annoyed, so I wanted to find a quiet place to take a look quietly. view.

But what he said to me at the end...was he teasing me? !

Damn, openly molesting the little emperor's concubine, is he here for peace talks or to find fault?The most nonsensical thing is that I was molested? !Could it be that I have a physique that attracts gays and that's why I haven't had a girlfriend for so many years?

I didn't even know that I had such a great charm...

Wen Feng, who was on the side, quietly approached at this time and said, "Cai Ren, why do you think that Prince Qi fell in love with you at first sight?"

The corner of my mouth twitched, it seems that I really wasn't overthinking, but anyway, the little emperor didn't know, so it didn't matter.After all, the intersection between Prince Qi and me is probably only a little bit at the Hongtu Banquet, other than that, we are basically two people who have nothing to do with each other.I rushed to ask Feng and shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be helpless, "Oh, the charm is too great, what can I do?"

This time it's Wen Feng's turn to have black lines all over her head...

That night, the little emperor invited me to Weiyang Palace again.When I started painting this time, I suddenly heard him playing a tune that seemed a little different from the previous ones.I raised my head, and saw under the red candle, the beautiful young man in red clothes raised his bare hands slightly, and drew a series of moving notes on the silk strings. Accompanied by the music, his red lips slightly parted, and he sang, "Plucking Wei, picking Wei, Wei also writes!" Stop. Return every day, return every day, and there is no end to the age..."

The singing sound was like a low singing, melodious and melodious, with a bit of a desolate and desolate hoarseness, like a faint whisper coming out of the forest among the trees at night.He actually composed Caiwei into a song, and he sang the ballad that was originally chilling, a little more helpless, and the meaning of longing was endless.

I was so engrossed in listening to it that I forgot to continue drawing until the end of the song. He stopped and looked up at me, "Does it sound good?"

I nodded my head in admiration.I recited that poem once, and he memorized it all...

This kid is actually a child prodigy, right?

He stood up and walked behind me, gently put his arms around my shoulders, "This song is for you, do you like it?"

Suddenly I felt my heart tremble, as if there were butterfly wings trembling inside, that soft feeling traveled along the blood vessels all over my body, every inch of my skin seemed to be trembling with happiness because of the faint medicinal fragrance on his body.

I held his hand, "I like it, it sounds so nice."

He smiled lowly in my ear, raised his eyes to look at the painting in front of him, and asked me, "Am I so pretty?"

"You draw better than me." I admit that I see beauty in the eye of the beholder...

"Am I more handsome than that Zhu Ran?"

I snickered, "Of course."

He was dissatisfied, "Your answer is too vague."

"You are the most handsome, you are more handsome than Mr. Hui~"

He was grinning like a kitten, and his hair tickled the back of my neck.

"By the way," the little emperor suddenly raised his head, and said seriously, "The old patriarch has actually gone to Beijing today. How about arranging you to meet him tomorrow?"

I was choked, and it took a few seconds to realize that I should be very happy.I quickly stood up and thanked him, but I couldn't smile naturally anyway.

If the old patriarch has a way to send me back, what should I do?Are you going back right away?But if I leave like this... I...

It is certain to go back... But can we wait a while...

Just a month or two to go...

The next day, I stayed at Cuiwei Courtyard all day long.Generally speaking, people outside the palace are not allowed to enter the palace. If it wasn't for the little emperor's amnesty this time, a prisoner like the old patriarch would have no chance to step into the Tongque Gate.

But since there is the little emperor's grace, someone will bring the old patriarch into Cuiwei Courtyard to meet me after noon today.

I asked Qianyi to clean the Cuiwei Courtyard well, and prepared some excellent cakes and fruits, as well as wine and vegetables.In addition, I also asked them to take out all the silk brocades newly issued by the Department of Internal Affairs, as well as some monthly money, and planned to let the old patriarch take them back to the clan.After all, after this war, even if there were not many casualties, the vitality must have been greatly depleted.Since they respect me as a heavenly being, I naturally have to take care of them.

Fortunately, the little emperor attaches so much importance to me now that the Department of Internal Affairs has sent so many things that there is no room in the room.Otherwise, according to my original poverty, I can't do it if I want to help them...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, someone from the palace came to announce that the old patriarch was already on his way here.After another moment, the gate of Cuiwei courtyard opened, and the old patriarch was escorted into the courtyard by several palace attendants.I was waiting for him in the dining room, the wine, vegetables and cakes in front of me were all set up, steaming hot and smelling fragrant.

I don't know why I feel a little nervous in my heart, and I feel a little cramped and uneasy like being inspected by my parents...

Behind the green gauze curtain, the familiar but older face of the old patriarch appeared.He still wears the unique costume of the Wuxie ethnic group, but the silver hat with ox horns on his head is gone, only a silver rope is tied between his forehead.As soon as he saw me, tears of excitement flashed in his eyes, he raised his hands and knelt down to me, and kowtowed three big heads, "Heaven and Man!!!"

I hurriedly asked Wenfeng to help him up, but he insisted on refusing. In the end, I ran out from behind the dining table and pulled him up, and dragged him to sit down in front of the dining table.His hands became even rougher, with calluses on the palms, which were probably worn out when he helped the army carry fodder in the frontier.I was angry for a while, for such an old man, they still order others to do rough work?Do you have the quality of respecting the old and loving the young?

But obviously the old patriarch felt that he was very lucky to survive.He kept telling me about the changes in the clan.Almost all the young clansmen who were captured by Qiguo and rushed to the top had died in battle, and only a few disabled returned to the clan.Now the houses in the village are also being rebuilt. It is said that the entire family has not been wiped out thanks to my care here.

I thought to myself that I can't really help others... I enjoy happiness here every day, but they suffer in the frontier.The more he thanked me, the more embarrassed I was...

I put vegetables for the old patriarch and asked him to eat more.After drinking for three rounds, I finally found the opportunity to ask the question I was most concerned about.

"Old patriarch, you opened that door to get me into this world. Can you open that door again and get me back?"

The old patriarch raised his head in surprise and looked at me, "Heavenly Man is going to leave?"

I quickly waved my hands, for fear that he would think that I was going to ignore them, "No, I just asked."

However, he seemed to have lost his appetite, and he put down the chopsticks in his hand even though he was still devouring them just now.He murmured for a while, and finally said, "Summoning the celestial beings to this world this time has indeed caused a lot of trouble for the celestial beings. But if the celestial beings leave, the Wuxie clan's hundreds of people will really There is no hope at all.”

What he said made me feel guilty, but I really can't help them?

I don't know how their broken shaman code was written. Isn't this harmful?

I also carefully considered my words and said, "In fact, you have done a good job without my help... Now that the truce is over, you won't suffer any more, and I am useless? Besides, I don't plan to leave immediately. , just want to know if there is still a way to go back."

The old patriarch sighed, and he still didn't seem to believe my words.After a while he said, "It's not that the old man is unwilling to help heaven and man. It's really that if the door of chaos is to be opened, it needs to be opened when the dog bites the moon and also on the day of the vernal equinox. It is really rare, if you are lucky, you can meet them two or three times in ten years, if you are not good, you can’t meet them once in a hundred years, and the old man is really powerless..."

Hearing what he said, I was both sad and happy.The joy is because I can stay in this way, but the sadness is how to go back to the original world in the future.Although I'm not successful in reality, but my father is still there, I can't stay here forever, can I?

Seeing that I stopped talking, the old patriarch thought I was angry, and immediately stood up and knelt down at me, saying that the old man should die.I was so frightened that I hurriedly stood up, and Qian Yi who was beside me hurried up to help me.I said, "I'm really not angry, don't think too much, just enjoy your meal."

He was still uneasy, which made me even more upset.

"Then, do you have a way to figure out when the door will open next time?"

This time he nodded, "I can try to calculate, but it is a time-consuming task, and I need to compare the astrolabe according to the shaman scriptures, so it may take a while before I can tell the result to the heavenly beings."

I nodded, no matter how I know the time first, I can make plans earlier.If I'm really unlucky and the next time is thousands of years away, then I have to think about something else.

Handed all the prepared gifts to the old patriarch, and arranged for someone to help transport them out.When the slightly hunched figure of the old man disappeared into the green bamboo path, I sat on the railing leaning against the porch pillar and sighed.

Qianyi fanned the wind for me beside me, "Tairen, are you really a god?"

I glanced at him, "do you look like me?"

He hesitated for a while, "I don't know if I should say..."

"...that's fine... you better stop talking..." I picked a bamboo leaf and tried to blow it, but only the noise of tearing and tearing came out, and I threw it aside.

The wish was fulfilled, but the whole person felt a sense of loss.This time I really have to face this otherworldly continent. This meeting with the old patriarch confirmed that I will stay here for a long time.Since this is the case, you can no longer just ignore everything.

I have to live well.

The portrait of the little emperor was finally completed. It showed him wearing a red satin brocade robe and playing the zither.I am very satisfied with this painting, it has not been in vain after spending so long.

The little emperor also looked very happy. He stood in front of the painting and looked at it for a long time, and finally gave a comment, "Now I think you are the number one painter in our Great Yan Kingdom. I have never seen such a realistic painting. painting."

I am very proud, although I have taken advantage of the fact that the ancients have never seen oil paintings, but we can be regarded as having a skill, right?

The little emperor was so happy, I suddenly received an imperial decree that night, saying that because of my meritorious service at the Hongtu Banquet, I should have been promoted to be the host of the guest, but since the positions of the nine guests and hosts are already occupied, it is not appropriate to add any more. Allow me to move to the Fuyao Hall in Zihuan Garden. Although the title remains the same, the monthly payment will be treated as the host and guest.

After listening to the imperial decree, I was stunned on the ground for a while, unable to recover, and Qian Yi was even more delighted from ear to ear.My god, just relying on a painting, I will rise to the top?This is too easy!

A little dizzy, the imperial decree was made, and the water-red satin seemed to be heavier.Uncle Yin who came to announce the decree congratulated me with a smile, so I said a few more words, "Juntian is not the only one who deserves credit for the Hongtu Banquet, and I really feel ashamed."

Yin Gongshi seemed to hear my intention to inquire about what I said, so he chuckled twice and replied, "Mei Guan has also been rewarded, but she has not received such kindness. In the future, she will serve her more wholeheartedly." That's right."

I was so happy in my heart that I slept with the imperial decree in my arms at night.Qianyi and Wenfeng were also as happy as they were the ones who were rewarded. They were so excited all night, and the next day they sent a tailor to make some new clothes for me with the silk that was newly rewarded by the little emperor. .

When I went to the document department, I felt that the whole person was light and fluffy, especially when the beauties I met on the road and even Jieyu took the initiative to salute me, the sense of accomplishment was almost enough to kill me... Come along and listen With "Yang Cairen Wanfu" all over his ears, he suddenly understood how exciting it is to feel superior to others.

After entering the Documentary Department, it was a coincidence that he happened to meet Guan Shangyi.He seemed to be about to go out, and when he saw me coming in, he bowed his head meekly and said, "Good morning Yang Cairen."

I glanced at him, chuckled lightly, and walked past him without replying, deliberately raising my head high and keeping my back straight.Although it's bad to gloat, but now I really can't help but want to do some pretending behavior when I see him~

Qian Yi also sniggered beside me, holding her head up even more than usual.

The clerical department suddenly became my world feeling.Now I even have a separate painting room, a round window with tangled lotus flowers carved on the window lattice, all kinds of brushes on the easel, even oil paint brushes and paints specially made for me, as well as canvas and paper.The easel was placed by the window, with its cat legs leaning against the wall, and in a corner of the room there was an ink-colored tall-necked vase with a few dahlias in it.

I sat sprawled in the room, as arrogant as I wanted, and after a while, a palace attendant brought in pastries and red bean paste, and lit incense for me, everything was very comfortable.Sunlight shines on the canvas through the window paper, like the warm light reflected on the water.Everything seems so perfect, I feel that this day has gone smoothly and couldn't be smoother.

The day before moving into Fuyao Hall, Uncle Jin suddenly visited again.

I was quite happy, with a sense of accomplishment as if I had won glory for him.But as soon as he came in, his brows were still tightly knitted.

I asked Wenfeng to bring out the best tea leaves for him to brew. I wanted to hear him compliment me, but who would have thought that he would just drink tea in silence with a dignified expression on his face.

I asked him, "What's wrong with you? Someone recruited you?"

He glanced at me and shook his head, "I'm really worried about you."

I laughed, "Why are you still worried after all this time? You were worried when you were not favored a while ago, and you are still worried now. You are really a worry."

He once again gave me his trademark contemptuous look, "You are such a simple-minded person, you won't even know if you are played to death in the future."

"Where did I go wrong?"

"You are indeed favored, but apart from Mr. Hui, His Majesty has not been passionate about any concubine in this palace for more than three months. Are you confident that you can compare with Mr. Hui? Favor comes and goes quickly. Sometimes the higher you climb, the harder you fall, you better be careful, or you won't even have a way out in the future."

Well, let him be scolded again.I had no choice but to surrender, "All right, all right, I will listen to you, and I will do whatever you say."

"Hmph, why listen to me? At the beginning, I asked you to get close to Guan Meiren, and indirectly to Mr. Hui. You are lucky, and you have competed with him!"

"Fuck, he hurt me, can you blame me for this?"

"They hurt you because they felt threatened by you! You are too impatient, how can you be so showy as soon as you come up?"

"Isn't this what you want me to find a way to attract the little emperor's attention?"

"I asked you to find a way, but you have to be careful. Now that the city is full of storms, aren't you setting yourself up as a target?" Uncle Jin said, slapping the table, and the whole room was silent for a moment one time.
