After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

According to the will of the king, the Ministry of Rites organized the summer festival in June as a continuation of the spring festival.

According to the custom of the spring festival, it is even more grand than the spring festival.

The king also said that we must not forget our roots, and we must comfort our ancestors, so we specially added a process.

The night before the summer festival, keep a vigil in the ancestral temple.

The great king and the great witch stayed behind in the ancestral temple together.

It's already summer, and after nightfall, the remaining heat has not dissipated, and the doors and windows of the ancestral temple are tightly closed, airtight.

There are several rows of tablets in the middle, which are the tablets of the leaders of the past dynasties.

He Lianzhu and Dawu were standing in front of the memorial tablet, neither of them moved.

Ruan Jiu sat in the corridor outside, Zhuang Xian accompanied him.

Zhuang Xian folded his hands and leaned against the pillar: "Little Jiujiu."

Ruan Jiu raised his head: "Why?"

"Why don't you go in?"

"It's too hot inside, and the windows are not allowed to open."

Zhuang Xian smiled: "I thought you were unwilling to go in."

Ruan Jiu was puzzled: "I didn't want to go in."

"No, I thought that because you are from Liang, you would not want to enter Jiwu's ancestral temple."

"Ah?" Ruan Jiu was still puzzled, "I've already gone in, there's nothing interesting inside."

"When did you go in?"

"Last year, there was a time when the little pig was inside..." cried, and then Ruan Jiu went in to see him.

"Okay." Zhuang Xian said, "How long do you think it will take to finish?"

Ruan Jiu thought for a while: "About fifteen minutes."

Zhuang Xian snorted: "Nonsense, how could it be so fast? It took a day and a night to persuade the person inside when I was young."

"is it?"

"Yes." Zhuang Xian came to him, sat down beside him, and lowered his voice, "He is a wizard who can't tell fortunes."

"what?"

"The one inside, the fierce witch, he doesn't know how to tell fortunes."

Fortune-telling is a saying of Liang Guo, and there is another word in Jiwu, which is used to describe the communication between wizards and gods.

Although the tribes in the northwest have different territories, they share similar cultures, totem patterns, folk customs, and wizards.

Their wizards communicate with the gods, and convey the opinions of the gods through divination and answers.

Zhuang Xian folded his hands and said calmly: "He was born in the great witch's family, and his father passed on the title of great witch to him, so he can become a great witch."

"He didn't know how to do divination since he was a child. Have you ever read the divination by a wizard? Throw a pile of colored stones into the fire and bake them. What it looks like, divination according to the color."

Zhuang Xian's voice became lower and lower: "But he can't distinguish colors at all."

Ruan Jiu was very surprised: "Then... hasn't the great witch been discovered?"

"His elders know about it, but in order to keep the position of great witch passed down by the family, they deliberately didn't tell him. Every time he divination, they said he was right."

"Then how does he know that he can't tell the color?"

"After I got to know him, I accidentally discovered it once. I was young and outspoken, so I told him."

Ruan Jiu felt a little pitiful: "Then isn't he very sad?"

"No." Zhuang Xian said, "At that time he was already a great witch, even if he made a wrong prediction, no one dared to say it. What's more, his family didn't teach him what is right and what is wrong. He only I know, as long as it is predicted by myself, it is right."

"..." Ruan Jiu was silent.

"Precisely because he doesn't know how to divination, every comment he makes is based on his own best expectations for him. He is the person who hopes for the best in him."

Ruan Jiu became even more silent, and said after a while, "Then saying that Xiaozhu can't marry a girl is also based on the best expectations for him?"

"That was after I left. I don't know what he thinks."

Zhuang Xian got up, walked to the door, put his ear on the door: "Why don't we come and listen to what he explained to the king."

Ruan Jiu frowned, trying to dissuade him: "Isn't it good for you?"

Zhuang Xian turned around and raised an eyebrow at him.Ruan Jiu hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and lay down on the door.

The hall was silent, and there was no sound for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but before they could speak, the big witch swayed, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The ancestral temple where the doors and windows are not open for ventilation is too hot.

He Lianzhu didn't look back, Ruan Jiu paused, thought for a while, and pushed open the door to go in.

The big witch is already very old, and he will die from heatstroke.

But when he opened the door, he forgot to tell Zhuang Xian, and Zhuang Xian fell to the ground with a bang.

"Teacher, I'm sorry." Ruan Jiu quickly helped him up, and then stepped forward to help the big witch up.

He Lianzhu didn't speak, but stepped aside and pushed the window open.

He walked and pushed all the way, trying to open a row of windows.

The cool night wind blows the cold moonlight into the hall, blowing the two rows of white candles in front of the tablet.

The main hall was huge, He Lianzhu went all the way to the end of the palace, and pushed open the last window.

When the strong wind rushed in, the great witch slowly woke up.

Ruan Jiu pinched him among the people: "Are you okay?"

Seeing that it was Ruan Jiu, the big witch closed his eyes, opened them again after a long time, and saw the back of He Lianzhu at the other end of the palace half lit by candlelight.

The candlelight shone on him, and the shadow cast on the wall was taller than him.

The big witch stopped for a moment, and coughed twice, as if he couldn't breathe.

But the wind coming in is obviously already very strong.

He Lianzhu turned his back to him, without turning his head, he just asked, "Why?"

The big witch held back his cough: "If what the king said was about orders, I will tell you the truth. I took the queen mother's money and worked for the queen mother. The queen mother wants to cut off the king's heirs, so let me say that the king can't get close to a daughter in this life."

He Lianzhu remained motionless, as if he didn't get the answer he wanted, so he asked again: "Why?"

The big witch was about to cough again, and Ruan Jiu patted his heart, giving him some relief and telling him to speak quickly.

Ruan Jiu believed in Zhuang Xian's vision of people.

The big witch just coughed, so coughing that he couldn't even utter a whole sentence.

He Lianzhu turned around, strode forward, picked up a tablet from the tablet with one hand, and threw it in front of him.

"You are facing the tablet of the former king..."

He Lianzhu originally thought that the great witch was loyal to the former king, after all, he was a person who was reformed together, and the great witch once broke the rule for the former king that the priesthood does not discuss politics.

It may be that the former king ordered him to assist He Liancheng before his death, so the great witch made a plan and pretended to seek refuge with the queen mother, secretly waiting for an opportunity to benefit He Liancheng.

But after He Liancheng died, he had no choice but to truly surrender to the Queen Mother.

But things didn't seem to be what Helian Zhu thought.

Before he finished speaking, the great witch roared, raised the tablet of the former king with both hands, and threw his tablet viciously against the wall.

Still feeling inadequate, he stood up, picked it up, and continued to smash it twice until it shattered the tablet.

After doing these actions, the hostility in his body was dissipated, and he leaned on the wall exhaustedly, gasping for breath.

"I'm helping no one," he said, "I'm helping no one."

"Whether it's the Empress Dowager, He Liancheng, or the Empress Dowager and the Regent, I will not help anyone."

"After the former king stopped the restructuring, I made a divination. This is the only accurate divination in my life. The men in the Helian family will become violent and suspicious as soon as they are over 40 years old."

"Such a person can't manage Jiwu well, and sooner or later Jiwu will be defeated by the Helian family. After so many years, it's time for Jiwu to change his mind."

"The empress dowager has disrupted the court situation, and Jiwu is about to change the world. In troubled times, the capable person will become the king, not someone's son. It is time for Jiwu to choose a new king and a new family."

The big witch kicked off the fragments of the former king's tablet on the ground, and cursed: "Fuck you."

It was only then that others realized that this was his motive.

The former king betrayed him in reforming the system. He betrayed him thoroughly. He didn't think that the Helian family could continue to be the king.

He didn't support He Liancheng, let alone the regent, he let the queen mother settle down on the throne.

He didn't want to be stable at first, since the restructuring couldn't create a brand new one, then he had to break the whole one and build a new one.

What can't be broken can't be built, so that's what he thought.

Zhuang Xian wanted to step forward: "De Yao, you are confused."

But the big witch backed up: "You also stay away from me."

He looked at the tablet kicked away by him, then looked at He Lianzhu, and said to Zhuang Xian: "You are also tenacious. You were tricked by his father once, and now you have run into He Lianzhu's hands. How much do you have?" Can the years be wasted?"

Zhuang Xian spread his hands: "I don't know, maybe I will die tomorrow."

He Lianzhu looked at the big witch with sharp eyes like a falcon: "But your plan has failed."

The big witch's hand firmly held the corner of the confession case, so that he could barely keep himself from falling down.

"You originally thought that the Empress Dowager would stir up trouble. In a world of great contention, the able one will be the king, not the Helian family. But now, the Empress Dowager has a child of the regent."

"It won't be a mess. Even if I don't want to now, when the queen mother gives birth to a child safely and the child grows up, the queen mother and the regent will definitely try their best to fix the situation. Maybe the regent will kill me and become king himself, so small A small turmoil is nothing to Yu Jiwu."

"The throne will still be in the hands of the Helian family. You have worked hard for many years, but you still failed in the end."

He Lianzhu had hit the point, and stabbed his heart and lungs. The big witch's figure shook twice, and he was about to fall down again.

Ruan Jiu hurried up to support him: "Are you okay?"

The big witch gave him a wry smile: "This family is bad, only you are a good person."

After saying this, it was as if all the strength had been drawn from his body, his eyes closed, he lost consciousness, and finally fell down.

The night wind poured into the palace through the wide-open doors and windows, and the great witch was placed on the floor of the palace.

Ruan Jiu carefully helped him to lie down, helped him take off his hat, and unbuttoned his thick clothes for air.

If a person only wears such a great witch's clothes all his life until he grows old, Ruan Jiu feels that he admires him.

Now Ruan Jiu understands what Zhuang Xian said, all his fortune-telling is out of his true passion for Jiwu.

It's just that he seems to have gone the wrong way after being betrayed.

What Zhuang Xian said was right, he was a lost lamb.

Ruan Jiu wiped his face with a handkerchief.

When the big witch woke up, the first thing he saw was Ruan Jiu.

The only good guy he ever thought was.

He let out a long sigh, and then Ruan Jiu was dragged away by Helian Zhu.

He was lying on the ground, unable to sit up, just lying like this.

Helian Zhu looked down at him condescendingly: "I am the king in troubled times, and I am the only one."

What he was talking about was a folk song, a sentence that the god Asulu said to the living beings in the grassland when he came to the world.

"You choose."

You still have time to divert.

After He Lianzhu said this, he pulled Ruan Jiu away.

He didn't bother to watch the spirit here, but he chose this place to put pressure on the big witch.

Now that he finished speaking, he was going to take Ruan Jiu back to sleep.

He dragged Ruan Jiu to the front of the hall, suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and raised his hands with Ruan Jiu.

"Thank you for the queen you sent me."

If it wasn't for that order, I'm afraid Ruan Jiu wouldn't have come here either.

After the great king left, Zhuang Xian stretched out his hand to the great witch, trying to help him up: "Hey."

The big witch slapped his hand away, jumped up from the ground, and pushed him to the ground.

He scolded something, but Zhuang Xian didn't catch it.

When getting into the carriage back to the palace, Ruan Jiu was still a little skeptical.

"You just said one sentence, is it useful? What should you do if the big witch still doesn't stand by your side?"

"No, he knows it clearly." He Lianzhu raised his eyebrows, "He said nothing can be broken or built, and he hasn't done any major things in these years, and he still can't bear to do it, this is just an excuse for him to waste these years. "

"In the past, he had no choice. He thought that I would hate him because of my fate. Every time he saw me, he felt very guilty. He was afraid that I would retaliate against him. Didn't he say that the members of Helian's family were all violent? Is it? He is actually afraid of me."

"It's just that I didn't expect that he would have been disloyal to the late king long ago."

"Now if he is asked to choose between me and Uncle Regent, he will choose me. Compared with me now, Uncle Regent is more like the former king, and he hates the former king."

The former king was also very powerful, so many people hated him to the bone, how could he fail like this when he was a great king?

He Lianzhu smiled, then hugged Ruan Jiu, leaning his head on his shoulder.

He has grown steadily recently, and although Ruan Jiu is still growing taller, it is obvious that he can no longer catch up with him.

He is already taller than Ruan Jiu, so it's really awkward to do this kind of action again, but he likes it very much.

Ruan Jiu was still thinking about the great witch, but he didn't realize that He Lianzhu was playing with his Adam's apple again.

The growing little pig is very curious about everything about Ruan Jiu.

Why is Ruan Jiu so white?Why is Ruan Jiu so soft?Why does Ruan Jiu smell delicious?

Why did he feel weird about himself when he saw Ruan Jiu recently, and when he was alone with Ruan Jiu?It was stuffy, hot, and swollen.

He really couldn't figure it out.

It would be great if these things were as simple as government affairs.

He Lianzhu tilted his head, touched Ruan Jiu's earlobe, the earlobe was also soft, there was nothing uncomfortable on Ruan Jiu's body.

Just as He Lianzhu expected, the next morning, before the scheduled summer festival, the great witch entered the palace.

He Lianzhu reluctantly came out of Ruan Jiu's arms, and after washing up, he met him.

Da Wu came with Zhuang Xian. The two of them knelt on the soft cushion, their backs were straight, and they said nothing.

When Helian Zhu came, they all stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty."

He Lianzhu raised his hand and let them all sit down.

He also sat down in front of the two of them, looked at Da Wu, and waited for him to speak.

The big witch stayed up all night, listening to Zhuang Xian's words in the first half of the night, and went to the mansion alone in the second half of the night, thinking for a long time.

He didn't have a few years to live. After the first king deviated from his original intention, he has been frustrated and depressed.After the death of the first king, he still came up with such absurd reasons to support the queen mother.

Now it looks like a big dream.

He lowered his eyes and clenched his hands in his sleeves: "During the few months that the Empress Dowager has been in the palace, what does Your Majesty want to do in court..."

"Just do what. The Queen Mother, Hu Zhehan has been writing letters before, and then I will write the letter myself. I will release the news and stabilize the Queen Mother, so as not to disturb her, and prevent her from knowing the real situation in Shangjing City. She sent I will stop her orders, if I can’t stop them, I will minimize the threat of these things to the king. If possible, I will try to delay her return as much as possible.”

He Lianzhu nodded in satisfaction, but did not speak.He was waiting for the big witch to continue, but the big witch glanced at him and said, "That's it."

He Lianzhu still didn't say a word, and the great witch took a deep breath: "When the king needs any comments, I will do so, just like saying that the king 'don't get close to women' back then. If the king needs to mobilize the wizard, I can also Coordinate from there."

After finishing the sentence in one breath, he released all the long breath he had just sucked in: "Is this all right?"

He Lianzhu smiled lightly: "It couldn't be better."

The big witch didn't know how he got involved in the government again, obviously he didn't care about it for so many years.

After decades, he is not as young as before, accompanying a teenage king and planning for him.

He really didn't know whether this hexagram was correct among so many hexagrams he had made wrong.

The queen mother who was far away in the palace never imagined that among the ministers she stayed in Shangjing to monitor the situation in the court and carry out her orders, the most authoritative one was turned against by Helian Zhu.

In other words, Da Wu had never been loyal to her.

Ruan Jiu was very happy that the big witch could come, and has been pestering him for a few days.

"I just love the three feathers on the big witch's hat."

When Dawu asked the reason, he just said so.

The great witch smiled, and then raised his hand to touch the feathers on his head: "I can't give this to you yet, I will give it to you when I pass on the position of great witch to you."

Ruan Jiu also smiled at him: "The great witch wants to teach me divination?"

"Okay."

Ruan Jiu was just talking, but the big witch actually took out three small colored stones from his sleeve to teach him to recognize the hexagrams.

"These three colors of stones are the three kinds of stones used by the god Asulu to refine Jiwu."

Ruan Jiu nodded: "Yes."

The big witch stopped talking, but asked him: "Xiao Jiujiu, what color is red?"

"Yes..." Ruan Jiu remembered that the big witch can't see the color. He thought for a while, took his hand, and rubbed it vigorously, "It's like warming the fire, such a warm color."

The big witch smiled and continued to teach him.

Although he couldn't distinguish the colors himself, he probably knew what hexagrams represented and what meanings, and these contents were also recorded in books.

He has no sons and no successors, if Ruan Jiu is willing to learn, that would be the best.

Zhuang Xian became a little unhappy when he taught Ruan Jiu.

He asked Ruan Jiu, "Whose student are you?"

Ruan Jiu concentrated on fiddling with the small stone: "I'm the teacher's student."

"Ah!" Zhuang Xian was extremely annoyed, and turned to face the big witch, "I thought this kind of superstition would end with you, anyway, you didn't pass it on to others, so it's over when you finish the big witch, why did you create another 'little witch' '? How do you want me to change the system?"

The big witch ignored him, and softly pointed to Ruan Jiu, who nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, got it, got it."

The big witch stroked his head affectionately: "It would be great if you were the king."

Ruan Jiu was taken aback by him: "Huh? I can't do it, and I can't resist. I can only be the queen."

"If a person who resists fighting can be a king, then the porcupine should be the most king. Only a person with a generous temperament is an ideal king, and the people of the Helian family are not good enough."

Zhuang Xiandao: "You can tell it in secret, the king must be upset when he hears it."

The great witch said: "I've thought this way for decades, and I've endured it for decades. I'm so old, it's time for me to say it. He Lianyu, I'm crazy."

He Lianyu is the Chinese name of the former king.

Zhuang Xian agreed with this sentence.

Ruan Jiu finished his day of hard study, sent the two teachers away, and returned to his room.

He walked to the bed, just about to lie down and rest for a while, but he didn't expect that there was someone on the bed.

He Lianzhu opened his arms and caught him.

strangeness.Ruan Jiu was puzzled, He Lianzhu shouldn't be sleeping at this time, he has always been very diligent, and he should be reading the memorial now.

He turned back: "What's wrong with you?"

He Lianzhu rubbed against him through the quilt, and said coquettishly: "Ruan Chiu, I feel uncomfortable, I don't know why."

Ruan Jiu touched his forehead, it seemed a little hot: "When did it start?"

"After lunch."

"Lunch?" Ruan Jiu touched his forehead again, "I eat the same as you, why am I okay? It's summer, you won't catch a cold, right? What else did you eat?"

He Lianzhu thought for a while, and finally said: "Deer blood."

Ruan Jiu was stunned: "Yes, I forgot."

At noon today, Getulu came back from outside and brought a deer back, bled it, and they roasted the deer meat for lunch.

When he saw the deer blood, he let out a "huh". Seeing that he disliked it, Getulu immediately became unhappy, and told him that deer blood is a good thing, a great tonic, and he must have a taste.

Ruan Jiu didn't drink, turned his head and ran away, but Getulu got a half cup and asked Ulan to give it to him.

He refused to drink, so he pinched Helian Zhu's chin and poured it down for him.

Ruan Jiu flicked his tongue: "This... I, I'm sorry... it's my fault..."

"Ruanjiu is responsible for me." He Lianzhu clearly didn't understand, but he was very proficient.
