MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 48 You love my red flame so much...(1)
Chang Yi had no choice but to say to Chen Erniang, "Why don't you go ahead and talk about it first, and then wait for Big Brother Ah to have some free time, and then we'll ask him what's the origin of this monster."
Chen Erniang shook her head: "I don't know the rest. My wet nurse only told me this."
Azhi was curious: "Is the inn where the accident happened far from Chang'an?"
Chen Erniang thought for a while: "It's not too far, my wet nurse is from Tongzhou, and the inn is halfway from Tongzhou to Chang'an."
Chang Yi asked: "If such a murder case occurs, someone must report to the official in the inn. Can your wet nurse hear what the local prefecture said?"
"I heard that the government is looking for the murderer everywhere, but it doesn't seem to have any clues."
"Murderer?" Everyone wondered, "The government suspects that the murderer did it?"
Chen Erniang blushed: "Maybe so... My wet nurse said that the government found out that the couple had a feud with someone in their hometown, and the husband brought his pregnant wife to Chang'an to seek refuge, and the government suspected that it was the hand of the enemy. , In those few days, many passersby were interrogated... My wet nurse was also stopped by the government and questioned before I found out that something was wrong."
"According to this, it is possible that the couple was not murdered by a monster?"
A few daring little ladies couldn't help but talk: "If it wasn't for the monster, the murderer knew that he couldn't live without killing the mother's fetus, so why steal the fetus, isn't this unnecessary?"
"And that night, someone in the neighbor's room heard the baby's cry. It couldn't have come from the fetus. The murderer was here to seek revenge, and he wouldn't bring his own child with him, so whose cry was it?"
The more everyone thought about it, the colder the back of their necks felt: "Don't talk about it, whether it was done by a demon or a murderer, this... this is too evil."
Teng Yu was listening to the story, but his attention was on Lu Zhaoan and Lin Chengyou on the deck. The two were still chatting, and it seemed that the more they chatted, the more speculative they became. Usually, Lin Chengyou was not so enthusiastic about Lu Zhaoan. to what.
It's a pity it's too far away, otherwise you can eavesdrop a few words.
She glanced from side to side, hey, where did Shao Tang run away? He wanted to take out his anger on behalf of his sister, so the chance wasn't here.
There was already a discussion in the cabin about who should tell the story next. Unfortunately, many young ladies were so frightened by the story just now that they didn't even dare to listen to them, let alone continue to tell anecdotes.
Fearing that Princess Changyi and Princess Azhi would not give up, the girls hurriedly changed the subject: "Two highnesses, my aunt said that the Queen said at the banquet today that Yunyin Academy would be reopened, I don't know if this is true. "
Chang Yi's temperament was as gentle as his father and brother, and he nodded when he heard the words: "Grandpa and Aniang have this plan, but the academy is not the former site of Yunyin Academy, but the Golden Fairy Guanguan, and the name of the academy is not called. 'Clouds are hidden', and a new name has not yet been drawn up."
Everyone could vaguely guess the reason. Many strange things happened in Yunyin Academy back then. It is said that it was related to the sage's biological mother, Concubine Hui. The academy has been closed for so many years, precisely because it was a sad place for the sage. It is impossible for the saint to agree to use the original site.
At this time, a little lady in red who was sitting next to Chang Yi said, "Your Highness, I heard that there were various regulations for recruiting students in the academy, for example, only the daughters of officials above the sixth grade were recruited, and the number of places was limited. I don't know after the relocation. , Are the rules for recruiting students still the same as before?"
The person who said this was Wu Qi, the second daughter of Wu Ruyun in the imperial censor. She was born with a pair of flying phoenix eyes, and her temperament was very sassy.
Teng Yuyi had met Wu Qi in the Daming Palace in her previous life. At that time, Wu Qi, like her, was also on the selection list of the Crown Princess. Wu Qi seems to love vermilion very much. She wore a red dress when she visited the Empress at Daming Palace, and today she is wearing a sarong dress with pomegranate safflower and bird gold thread.
Chang Yi said to Wu Qi, "I don't know very well either. Grandpa and Grandma have always disliked these pedantic rules, but the new academy is only so big, and if all comers are not rejected, the academy will not be able to fill up, so I guess The number of people is limited, at most one hundred and eighty people."
Everyone's faces are different. The women's academy of the imperial court has always been intended to choose relatives for the royal family. If you enter the academy to study, it means that you may be appointed by the court to marry, and other families are fine. Speaking of the royal family's children... today's saints are not enough In the inner palace, there are few brothers, sons and nephews. Only the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, Lin Chengyou and the Prince of Chun'an County are really at the age of marriage.
The faces of the girls slowly covered with red clouds.
Teng Yuyi frowned secretly, who would want to be ordered to marry by the court? Her marriage can only be decided by herself. Grandpa must have heard the news long ago. When she returns to Chang'an tomorrow, she has to ask Grandpa.
Suddenly the ship swayed slightly, and Chang Yi and Azhi asked what was wrong.
The palace attendant came in and said with a smile, "The Queen and His Royal Highness have also come to Shisha Lake. His Royal Highness ordered a crossword lantern to be hung on the shore, saying that they will play crossword puzzles tonight."
Chang Yi and Azhi immediately cheered: "I'm about to make the boat come to Yanxia Terrace, and by the way, set up a meat grill in the house. Big brother A has been fishing for so long, there should be a lot of fish in the fish basket. We will let Brother Prince and Brother A grill fish for us."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the cabin also got up, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan got out of the cabin, Lin Chengyou and Lu Zhaoan were long gone, and they saw Du Shaotang head-on, Du Shaotang was looking for something in the crowd with his head held high, and suddenly saw Teng Yuyi With Du Tinglan, he looked relaxed and greeted him against the crowd.
"Sister, Cousin Yu."
Teng Yuyi's heart moved, it seemed that Shao Tang had listened to her words. Before there were people on the deck, Shao Tang must have paid attention to the conversation between Lu Zhaoan and Lin Chengyou.
Sure enough, as soon as they got ashore, Du Shaotang took Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan aside, and whispered, "I heard a few words from Lin Chengyou and Lu Zhaoan. He asked Lu Zhaoan if he knew Hu Jizhen well."
Du Tinglan originally wanted to wipe his younger brother's sweat with a handkerchief, but after hearing this, he paused: "Hu Jizhen?"
"You should have met him at the Chengwang Mansion. He is a classmate of the Zijian in our country and a member of the Four Seasons Poetry Society of the Lord of Jingde."
Teng Yuyi said in surprise: "It turned out to be him. Sister, do you remember that we met the corpse evil in the Chengwang Mansion last time, and you and I distributed the talisman of Qingyunguan to everyone. Lu Zhaoan and this young master Hu originally shared one. However, when the corpse evil came, Lu Zhaoan snatched the talisman and ran for his own life, so that Mr. Hu was caught by the puppet ordered by the corpse evil, and almost lost his life."
Speaking of which, she was extremely regretful. Although she kicked Lu Zhaoan back to the flower hall while she was in the chaos, Lu Zhaoan was only slightly injured.
Moreover, she thought that Hu Gongzi would complain about Lu Zhao'an's character after leaving the house, so she also made Cheng Bo pay attention to the movements of the Hu family. As a result, after several days, no one in Chang'an talked about the matter, nor did they know about Hu's family. Ji Zhen was frightened by the corpse evil, but his temperament was too honest to openly expose Lu Zhaoan's true face.
"I remember him." Du Tinglan asked Du Shaotang, "What happened to this young master Hu?"
Du Shaotang said: "Ji Zhen didn't come to school for the first few days. I heard that he was ill. I have a good relationship with him, and I have asked a few classmates to visit him at his house. He lives in Yi Ning Fang. The servants in his house said that Ji Zhen's injury had been healed long ago, but in the first few days Ji Zhen went out for a walk with his friends, and when he came back, he suddenly fell ill and his father and mother were very anxious. I was thinking of asking someone to ask Feng Yu from Shang Pharmacy. Just now Lin Chengyou suddenly mentioned Hu Jizhen, and Lu Zhaoan's face changed."
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan looked at each other, Lin Chengyou would not bring up irrelevant people for no reason, nor would Lu Zhaoan's shrewdly lose his temper in front of people.
Teng Yuyi hurriedly asked, "What did Lin Chengyou say?"
Du Shaotang recalled the situation just now: "Lin Chengyou said that the county master wanted to set up the Four Seasons Poetry Club, and asked Lu Zhaoan what he had to offer. When talking about these people in the poetry club, Lin Chengyou said that Hu Jizhen had a strange disease, and he asked Lu Zhaoan if he knew Lu Zhaoan said he didn't know about this, but his face suddenly became ugly."
Teng Yuyi's interest was even stronger. According to this, Lin Chengyou suspected that Hu Ji's strange illness was really related to Lu Zhaoan.
But this is too unbelievable. She was the only one who saw that Lu Zhaoan left Hu Jizhen that night. Hu Jizhen didn't say it, and almost no one knew about Chang'an. According to the apparent friendship between the two, Hu Gongzi suddenly fell ill. Going to Lu Zhaoan, I don't know what Lin Chengyou found...
"What else did Lin Chengyou ask?"
Du Shaotang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Nothing else, just ask Lu Zhaoan to eat and live after he comes to Chang'an, but he is still used to it. Lu Zhaoan was only a little strange when he heard Hu Jizhen, but when he talked about other things later, he was calm. "
Worry welled up in his eyes: "Speaking of Ji Zhen, he is a very straight-forward person, and sometimes he is too serious, but as long as we get along for a long time, we will know that he has a pure personality and his classmates like him very much, otherwise I won't make a special trip to his house to visit him, but unfortunately I didn't see him last time, and I don't know how he is now."
Du Tinglan wondered: "You didn't see Mr. Hu last time?"
"His servants said that Ji Zhen was terribly ill, and they would not let us go in and see him for fear of scaring us."
"The sickness is terrifying?" Teng Yuyi was taken aback. During this period of time, she had already thoroughly investigated Lu Zhaoan's background. His ancestral home was Yangzhou, and his ancestors had also served as officials in the local prefecture. Unfortunately, he lost his father at the age of seven and his family background Since then, he has fallen sharply. Over the years, he has lived with his widowed mother, and sold almost all of the family's permanent property in order to study.
This time, when he went to Beijing to take the exam, Lu Zhaoan heard that he was already heavily in debt. If he could go to high school, Lu's mother and son would be able to make it through.
But no matter in the previous life or in this life, Lu Zhaoan won the championship in one fell swoop, and in order to enter the official position as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to abandon his cousin, and instead climbed up to Zheng Shuangyin, the daughter of Prime Minister Zheng Pushe.
She had suspected that the tree demon was recruited by Lu Zhaoan to deal with her cousin, but Uncle Cheng and the others sent someone to stare at Lu Zhaoan for a long time, and they had never seen Lu Zhaoan deal with evil demons.
Now this Hu Jizhen, who knows Lu Zhaoan's character well, is suffering from a strange disease inexplicably...
"Sister." Teng Yuyi asked Du Tinglan in a low voice, "Did you ever see him behaving differently when you communicated with Lu Zhaoan in Yangzhou?"
Du Tinglan thought back in horror for a while, then shook his head and said, "I only know that he works very hard. Apart from studying hard day and night, he only interacts with literati and writers in Yangzhou City on weekdays, and I haven't seen anything wrong with him."
Teng Yuyi fell into deep thought. Lu Zhaoan came to Chang'an in October last year. At that time, his cousin was infatuated with him. Lu Zhaoan's name was uncertain, and his cousin's reasoning was still of some use value to him, but he became indifferent to his cousin not long after he came to Chang'an.
Could it be that Lu Zhaoan predicted that he would go to high school a few months ago? It would be too incredible.
The palace attendant came over and said, "Miss Teng, Madam Du, His Royal Highness the county master is looking for you."
Teng Yuyi's eyes moved, and she was about to call her ill when she touched her forehead, but the palace servant smiled and said, "The two highnesses said that Madam Teng has a small sword that can ward off evil spirits.
The three were startled. Teng Yuyi couldn't pretend to be sick, so she had to go to Yanxiatai with the palace staff to meet the queen.
After walking a few steps, Du Shaotang turned his head to talk to Teng Yuyi, and was taken aback: "Cousin Yu, what's wrong with your face?"
Du Tinglan turned around when she heard the sound, and saw that Teng Yuyi's fat-like face was covered with red dots for a moment, she panicked: "What's going on?"
Teng Yuyi scratched her face suspiciously: "I felt a little uncomfortable on the boat before, but I just felt itchy and unbearable, but it's much better now, what's wrong with my face?"
"It's like I got a wind disease, and I have a lot of small rashes all at once. Don't catch it, and be careful to leave a mark." Du Tinglan held Teng Yuyi's hand distressedly, "How can this be good. Father-in-law, there is Feng Yu in Zhuangzi. ?"
The palace servant said in a hurry: "There is a female medical officer beside the queen. Let's go to see the queen first, just in time for the medical officer to give Lady Teng a good look."
The palace servant said this, but he felt sorry for Teng Yuyi in his heart. The queen clearly intended to see the lady on behalf of the two brothers. Lady Teng had a beautiful beauty. To avoid shocking a few His Royal Highnesses, he could only cover his face with a handkerchief.
"Miss Teng, block it with a handkerchief first."
Teng Yuyi looked at Yanxia Terrace while she was taking the veil, and happened to see the prince and his party enter. Recalling the scene in her past life, she didn't want to have anything to do with the prince in this life. This medicinal powder was hidden in the mechanism on her body, and she could just smear a little on it. A piece of rubella was aroused, although it only lasted for a few hours, but it was enough.
She naturally covered her face with a handkerchief, intending to retire after seeing the queen.
Just walking to the shore, I saw a few small palace servants coming from a distance with a beautiful red horse, the horse's hooves were like snow, and the mane was shiny like silk. Teng Yuyi knew it at a glance. An extremely rare and famous horse, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Du Shaotang was also amazed: "Why did you suddenly bring a horse here?"
The palace servant smiled and said: "It was brought by Her Royal Highness from the palace this morning, saying that it is to be a reward."
***
The lights in Yanxia Terrace are like daytime, and everyone has already taken their seats. The queen sat on the top, with Changyi and Azhi beside her.
On the east side are two tortoiseshell six-curved screens. In front of the screens sit the King of Chun'an, the Prince and Lin Chengyou in turn.
In front of Lin Chengyou was a red clay stove with a copper wire grill on it. There were a few live fish glowing silver in the bamboo basket beside the stove, which seemed to have been caught before.
Chang Yi and Azhi looked at the grill with anticipation. The fish on the grill was half-cooked and was sizzling with oil. Sitting in front of the grill, it was inevitably a little smokey. Fortunately, the night wind The aroma of the oil was blown away, and there was no good charcoal in the stove, and there was no smoke in the water pavilion.
In order to let the two younger sisters eat fish as soon as possible, the prince half-jokingly helped Lin Chengyou fan the fire.
The female officer guided the son and the ladies to see the queen, and the queen asked, "Where are the two granddaughters of General Peng? I heard that they are twins. There are too many people in the daytime, so I don't care to take a closer look."
Peng Huayue and Peng Jinxiu came forward and bowed in fear: "My ministers and daughters see Her Royal Highness."
The queen was always witty. She looked at the two and said, "The shorter one is my elder sister Huayue, and the taller one is my younger sister Jinxiu. You guessed it right? It seems that my eyesight is not bad."
Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "The daughter of General Li, the military envoy of the eastern Zhejiang, heard that she is talented in poetry, so is she here today?"
Li Huaigu attended the meeting with his eyes down, and went straight to the court to bow down: "Li Sanniang, the minister's daughter, has seen Her Royal Highness the Queen."
The queen's eyes lit up, the child was beautiful and elegant, and when he stood in the lamp shadow, he was like a magnolia in full bloom.
She remembered the rumors about the child's ability to predict good and bad luck, and she couldn't help shaking her head secretly. Li Guangyuan made extraordinary achievements many times, and he had such an outstanding daughter under his knees. Those people were afraid that the Li family would gain power, so they could come up with such rumors.
"Get up." The queen asked Li Huaigu, "Your name is Sanniang? Do you have a big name?"
While this one was talking, the other, Lin Chengyou, patiently grilled the fish.
The smoke floated up, causing his eyes to hurt, but this was exactly what he wanted. The ointment he brought was almost used up, and he couldn't find one that was handy, so he had to apply a little of the ointment Teng Yuyi gave him. The smell of the ointment was not only pungent, but also persisted for a long time. No matter where he went this afternoon, he would attract concerned inquiries. He uniformly said that it was Yu Fengyu's new ointment, but it was inevitable that he would be upset if he was asked too much.
This smoke has been smoked for a long time, maybe it can cover the smell of medicine on his body.
Li Huaigu said back to the empress: "If you go back to His Highness, the official name of the minister's daughter is 'Huaigu', which means 'Huaiyang Yonggu'. Because there are two older sisters, the nickname is called Sanniang."
The queen was still waiting to inquire, and the palace staff led people in: "Miss Teng, Madam Du and Young Master Du are here."
The queen watched the three of them stop, and praised the outstanding children of the Tendu family. When the three of them approached, she hurriedly said warmly, "No courtesy. Hey, what's wrong with this child's face?"
Lin Chengyou couldn't help but look up. Teng Yuyi had a water-colored silk handkerchief tied on her cheek, only her forehead and a pair of watery eyes were exposed. Her forehead was covered with small red and swollen rashes.
He looked at her suspiciously. She was fine last night, why did it suddenly swell into dough, and it was still covered with red dots of white dough.
The Crown Prince and the Prince of Chun'an County heard that she was Teng Shao's daughter, and they had already turned their attention to Teng Yuyi, and they were a little surprised at first glance.
The palace servant hurriedly said: "Ms. Teng had a red rash on her face before she got off the boat, as if she had contracted a wind disease. I was afraid that I would startle the lady, so I had to cover it with a handkerchief."
The queen worriedly said to the female officer behind her, "Show Mrs. Teng a quick look. Although the weather is getting warmer, it's not summer yet. The lake wind has been blowing for a long time, and the weak can't help it."
Teng Yuyi calmed down and said: "Lao Niangniang is concerned, the minister's daughter will have rubella once a year, and it's not a problem."
The female official came to check Teng Yuyi's pulse, and said that it was not a big deal, and asked the queen to look at the prescription, and sent it to the chef to decoct the medicine.
The queen called Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan to come forward, but it was a pity that Teng Yuyi suddenly lost her appearance and could not take a good look at it. Fortunately, Du Tinglan was as gentle as a beautiful jade, which made people happy.
She looked at the two sisters carefully, and finally took Teng Yuyi's hand and said, "Your aunt is similar in age to me. When she was not married, we used to play together. Looking at your eyes, it is your aunt. They are very similar. How many days have you been in Chang'an? Are you still used to living?"
She has a friendly attitude, and treats Teng Yuyi differently from others.
Teng Yuyi suddenly felt countless gazes from all directions.
She had dealt with Empress Liu several times in her previous life, and she knew that Empress Liu was approachable, so she replied with a smile, "It's been almost a month since I came to Chang'an, and I'm used to eating and lodging."
The queen nodded with satisfaction: "Don't be careless. Although this disease is a superficial matter, you need to pay special attention to your diet. You will take care of it carefully in the past few days. If you feel unwell, go back to your room to rest first."
Teng Yuyi was about to retire, but Chang Yi said cheerfully, "Miss Teng, we talked about evil just now. Azhi said that you have a small sword that can ward off evil spirits. Last time, you used it to drive away corpses evil?"
Teng Yuyi bowed his body: "If you go back to His Highness, this sword is not so magical. It was able to drive back the evil spirits last time, all because of the protection of the talisman of Qingyunguan."
Chang Yi and Azhi looked at each other: "Having said that, it's not very common to use jade as a sword, Azhi and I have been curious for a long time, can Madam Teng show us?
Lin Chengyou's eyelids twitched. That Jian had only soaked in his bath soup last night, and the bath beans in the bath soup were especially uncommon. If anyone smelled it, he and Teng Yuyi would not try to make it clear.
He waved the smoke in front of him, as if nothing had happened and wanted to divert it from other words, but Teng Yuyi calmly took out a small sword from his sleeve and handed it to the palace servant beside him, and said humbly, "I'm afraid that vulgar things won't get into His Highness's eyes. ."
The palace servant presented the sword, Changyi and Azhi played with it carefully for a while, and then handed the sword to their mother: "Miss Teng, where did you get this sword?"
Teng Yuyi said: "This is my grandmother's relic. I accidentally found it when I was sorting out the box before I came to Chang'an. I always carry it with me because I miss my mother."
Chang Yi and Azhi asked Lin Chengyou again, "Brother, have you heard of such an emerald sword?"
Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "I've never heard of it. Since this thing is someone's favorite thing, it's not fun if it is broken. Give it to someone else. If you want Taoist instruments to play, brother can collect it for you."
Chang Yi and Azhi were happy: "Okay, we also need to be able to recognize the Lord."
Teng Yuyi slipped quietly towards Lin Chengyou. She naturally knew why he covered her up. In fact, there was no scent of his bath beans on the sword. After Xiao Ya's spiritual power recovered, he refused to stay in the sword honestly. It was only in the morning. He ran out to ask her for a drink, and now the sword is full of the aroma of mulberry wine.
The queen asked the palace servants to lead Tengdu to their seats, and when she turned her head, she found that Li Huaigu was still standing beside her. She was just talking to the Teng family's child, but she forgot about the child, so she smiled and said, "Go back and sit."
Li Huaigu answered softly and walked back to the seat.
Chang Yi and Azhi asked Lin Chengyou, "Brother, you have heard the story of Chen Erniang. What kind of monster steals the fetus?"
Lin Chengyou: "You can't hear anything just by listening to the story. Brother A didn't see the couple's corpse with his own eyes, and Tongzhou is not far from Chang'an. If there is something strange about this case, it should have been spread to Dali Temple. In my opinion, either the killer has been caught by the local state capital, or there is something wrong with the rumor."
Azhi's round eyes were full of doubts, and he tilted his head to think: "When it was Xu Gongzi's turn to talk about the strange things, he said that there was a man in the country who had run into many monsters within a year, why did Brother A say this? Won't it happen?"
Lin Chengyou strung a new fish on a bamboo skewer, and answered his sister patiently: "The monsters are born in different situations, and the pictures are different. Humans are born with the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and have their own heaven and earth to protect each other. There is a saying. The words are called 'you can see clearly, whether it is extremely peaceful', no matter how unlucky a person is, there is no reason to run into demons one after another, you understand."
When these words were passed on to the next chapter, a young man wearing a golden crown blushed and said: "His Royal Highness, Xu must never lie, the person mentioned in the next paragraph is a relative of our hometown, and that person studied Taoism. One year, I suddenly encountered a lot of evil spirits, and I died inexplicably and tragically. After my death, even the tomb was struck by lightning. However, this happened more than ten years ago, and now I can still see half of the tombstone in front of the person's grave in my hometown. "
Lin Chengyou smiled and said: "Xu Gongzi misunderstood, I'm not saying that you lied, just saying that this kind of thing rarely happens, and if it happens, that person will probably have a problem himself. Either he is practicing sorcery, or his fate is wrong, and he goes against the sky. Unreasonable actions will inevitably lead to evil, and it is not surprising that in a year of abnormal celestial phenomena, it will attract more evil."
Every time he said a word, the sweat on Teng Yuyi's back increased.
The person Xu Gongzi mentioned must have lived by life like her, but in the end, he couldn't escape the bad luck, even the tombstone was struck by lightning.
Shouldn't it be so miserable... The smile on her face could hardly be maintained, and listening to Lin Chengyou's tone, she obviously disdain for the technique of borrowing life.
She quietly touched the dumbbell on her wrist, it only needed to ring again, Lin Chengyou would definitely be suspicious of her origin, this spell is definitely not the right way, and Lin Chengyou believes in the name and the right way, she is not afraid of anything else, but is afraid of getting involved and taking orders for her that person.
I just hate that Lin Chengyou helped her to slap her for a long time and couldn't get it off, and I don't know how long the bell will stay on her wrist.
Looking up inadvertently, she saw the queen staring at the Xuanyin bell on her wrist, Teng Yuyi felt a little tight, this thing is a rare treasure of Qingyunguan, maybe the queen saw something, and subconsciously wanted to lower her sleeves, but she knew To do so would be guilt.
Lin Chengyou glanced at the queen, and suddenly said to Azhi and Changyi: "Don't pester your brother to say this, didn't you just say that you want to help aunt name the academy?"
The queen came back to her senses, the string of golden bells on Teng Yuyi's wrist was inexplicably familiar, and she wondered where she had seen it in "The Promise Treasure Mirror" in Qingyunguan, but because it was too long, I couldn't remember it for a while.
It must have been a mistake. How could something from Qingyunguan end up on Lady Teng's wrist? It's not uncommon for a little lady to use bells as accessories, maybe it's just similar.
When Lin Chengyou interrupted, her interest shifted to the proposed name: "The little lady at the table can also help you think about it. As long as you come up with a good name that is ingenious, I will give you something good."
Everyone's spirits are lifted, if they can get gifts from the queen, how honorable it would be.
The female official held out the gifts prepared by the queen. The first plate was a medicine bottle and a horse whip studded with agate and beaded jade. The second plate was a pair of white jade arm bracelets with clear water. It is rare, it is a good luozidai on a through-bone yarn and a few tins.
The queen was full of interest: "A child who can think of a first-class name must have a beautiful heart. In addition to this bottle of Yuyan Dan, I will also give her a thousand-mile red foal. The second and third grades only take To be the name of the house in the academy, but each has its own reward. Children are free to do whatever they want, and it is good to be selected, and it is not necessarily bad if they are not selected.”
There was a buzzing sound on the table, and the bottle of medicine was actually Yuyan Pill. I heard that this medicine was a sacred product, no wonder the weight overwhelmed the pair of white jade armbands.
However, Teng Yuyi looked at the whip, she had long wanted to find a famous horse, the little red horse on the shore was very beautiful, and it was easy to get it. Even Cheng Bo may not be able to get such a famous horse. find.
The Prince of Chun'an County looked at the bank from the window and asked the prince, "Aqi, did you choose that little red colt?"
Lin Chengyou sighed: "It's mine."
The prince smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Tang, I don't know, in order to propose a name for the academy, my mother began to choose gifts in the first few days. After finally trying to prepare a few grades, she thought that Yuyandan was not fresh and interesting enough, so she wanted to add another one. A small thousand-mile horse that is suitable for women to ride, but all the famous horses in the palace with a smaller physique have now become the mounts of Changyi and Azhi. A thousand miles of little red foal, A-niang forced A-da to give up the foal."
Everyone was more and more eager to try it. This horse was personally selected by Prince Cheng, and was caught by the Queen at a glance. Needless to say, it must be a good horse out of ten thousand.
The ladies in the palace sent the papers to each person's case.
Du Tinglan never showed her guile, and was not very interested in competing for treasures. She sat quietly for a while, intending to write a name and submit it, but Teng Yuyi pulled her dress down under the bill.
Du Tinglan wondered.
Teng Yuyi wrote in her hand: Buddha.
Du Tinglan: What does this mean?
Teng Yuyi added: The queen worships Buddha.
Du Tinglan suddenly understood that Ayu was reminding her what name would please the queen.
She has always had a keen mind, and she suddenly thought that her uncle was holding a heavy army. Recently, there have been changes of officials inside and outside the court. The academy is about to reopen. "rubella", but looking at this situation, Ayu clearly wants to win the first prize...
Du Tinglan can't laugh or cry, you don't want to be noticed by the queen, so let your sister come forward for you?
Teng Yuyi nodded confidently.
Du Tinglan was a little embarrassed, and she didn't want to make such a head, but before she winked at her sister, an idea came to her mind, Grandpa is only a doctor of imperial education, and it is impossible for her to be selected as a crown princess. Even if she gets the first class, she will not be favored by the queen because of this. Ayu has thought about all aspects.
She helplessly twisted Teng Yuyi's arm, you.
Since the younger sister wants it, the elder sister can only help to steal it. Du Tinglan thought about it seriously and wrote down two words under the paper: Xiangxiang.
Teng Yuyi's eyes were full of smiles, and she wrote casually on her piece of paper: go far.
The two handed the paper to the female officer together.
When everyone was finished, the female officials began to read their names one by one. The queen listened carefully and looked around happily: "What do you think?"
After a discussion, everyone agreed that the three names are the best: Dongyou, Zimu, and Tanli.
The queen asked, "Who came up with these names?"
A certain little lady bowed her body: "If you go back to Her Royal Highness, the 'self-shepherd' was planned by the ministers and daughters."
Wu Qi also got up: "The word 'Tan Li' was taken by the minister's daughter, and Liezi said: 'The pearl of a thousand gold must be in the abyss of nine layers and under the chin of the dragon.' According to the appearance of the minister's daughter, Learning is like 'the pearl of a thousand gold', and studying is like 'discovering the pearl'."
The queen stroked her palm: "It's also ingenious. 'Zimu' is simple and connotative, and 'Tanli' has a great momentum, and it is rare that there is no smell of fat and powder."
He asked again: "Dongyou' who made it?"
Zheng Shuangyin got up and said, "The word 'Dongyou' was drawn up by a minister and daughter, and is taken from the allusion of 'Yunjiang is suitable for Hongmeng',"
The queen snorted: "Yun Jiang's quest for knowledge, from 'I don't know what to ask, I don't know where to go', to 'Answer if you ask me', is exactly in line with the purpose of the academy. The word 'East Journey' is especially suitable for today's countries. The prosperous scene of the world, it is rare to have a good name."
Everyone looked at Zheng Shuangyin with admiration, and it seemed that this first-class gift was going to her.
Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi, just now her eyes were so bright, she made it clear that she wanted to take Yuyan Dan, but she didn't know what a bad name she had, and she didn't even enter the top three.
Even if she didn't want to come forward, why didn't even Du Tinglan move?
She is so smart, doesn't she know that her aunt worships Buddha?
Look at her rash, if you don't think about it, the medicine pill will belong to someone else.
He took off the dagger from his waist and slashed the bones of the fish. He slashed it twice before stopping. For the sake of her giving him the Hu medicine last night, he reluctantly thought of an idea for her. So he quietly put the grilled fish on the plate, and asked Azhi to come over and talk.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the queen pointed to the other two pieces of paper on the table and asked with a smile, "Which two little ladies took the word 'fragrant elephant'?"
Du Tinglan had long ago heard that when her name was not chosen, she shook Teng Yuyi's hand regretfully, but Teng Yuyi had always been confident. In her previous life in Dayin Temple, she had fasted with the Queen for several days. Not on those two words.
As soon as the queen said these words, Teng Yuyi's smile that had just surfaced on her lips froze, two? Besides her and her cousin, who else came up with this name?
Du Tinglan got up to answer, and Li Huaigu also got up at the same time. The two looked at each other in astonishment, and then smiled again.
Queen: "Why do you remember this name?"
Du Tinglan said in a soft voice: "Hui Niangniang's words, "The Sutra of Precepts of Upasaka" has a cloud: like the Ganges River, the three beasts all cross, rabbits, horses, and fragrant elephants. The rabbits do not reach the bottom, but the floating water passes; the horses reach the bottom, Or not to the bottom; the elephant is the bottom—it can be seen that Xiangxiang can comprehend the Tao, all in the word 'to the bottom', the enlightenment has depths, and the study is the same. to the end'."
The prince has been paying attention to Teng Yuyi. When he was training in Teng Shao's army, it was common for General Teng to take out some copybooks that his daughter had written silently at home. General Teng seemed to miss his daughter very much, and looked at the copybooks for half an hour.
The characters are very imposing, but unfortunately they are not neat enough. The teacher clearly drew the frame, but the characters refused to stay in the frame honestly. They either flew to the side or slanted like a tadpole. , in short, is an unruly child.
This reminded him of Ah Da. When he was a child, he and Ah Da went to Chongwen Hall to study together, and Ah Da was so naughty.
Since he saw Teng Yuyi's words, he became very curious about Teng Yuyi. The words were already like this, and he didn't know how lively and strange people would be. Today, he saw it as he wished, but unfortunately Mrs. Teng suddenly developed rubella, and she couldn't even see what she looked like.
Hearing Du Tinglan's words, the prince turned to look at Du Tinglan. There are many people who love to read Buddhist scriptures, but most of them only know how to copy them. This lady Du is young, but she understands all the allusions in the Buddhist scriptures. Look at her Gentle as an orchid, he should be a person with good thoughts at all times.
Li Huaigu smiled: "What Mrs. Du said was exactly what the ministers thought."
"It's rare that the two of you have such ingenuity. Not only studying, but all kinds of knowledge in the world." The Queen was very excited, "'Xiangxiang' Academy... What do you think?"
Everyone knew that the name was in the heart of the queen, and they hurriedly said: "This name is elegant and graceful, with far-reaching meaning, and it is the crown of the night."
Chang Yi said, "Auntie, what should I do now, there are two talented women who thought of a first-class name, but Yuyandan and Xiaohongju each have only one."
Female officials: "Your Highness has prepared carefully, and it is not easy to add other treasures temporarily. Why don't you ask Mrs. Du and Mrs. Li to get what they need."
Teng Yuyi felt like a cat was scratching in her heart, but it was a pity that Li Huaigu also thought about such a good name. Of course she wanted that little red horse more, but she still had a "rash" on her face. In the eyes of others, it was obvious Yuyandan was even more tempted to her. If she instigated her sister to betray her about asking for a famous horse, she might accidentally show her sway.
Right now, we can only see how Li Huaigu chooses.
Li Huaigu said earnestly, "It is the honor of a minister's daughter's life to receive the gift from the queen. Rongchen's daughter dared to say that there is only one bottle of Yuyan Dan, and Lady Du and Lady Teng are sisters again, and Lady Teng's face With rubella, I need this bottle of elixir more than a courtier’s daughter.”
