Chapter 57 Heartbreak
After going around, finally, according to Yang Yu's suggestion, I came to Pingkangfang.

Li Ang followed behind the team, looked up at the carved pavilion in front of him, and smacked his lips.

"Risheng, what are you thinking, hurry up and follow."

Ji Linglang patted Li Ang on the shoulder and walked to the front.

She was wearing Tsing Yi, a scholar's hair, and a gentleman's attire.

And the female classmates around her, including Chai Cuiqiao, were all holding folding fans, dressed in men's clothes, and walked towards the entrance with great interest, arm in arm.

"Here comes."

Li Ang sighed and followed.

"Pingkangfang is divided into North Qu, Zhongqu and South Qu according to the area. This is the Lianhua Building of Zhongqu. It is called the third floor together with Zuifang Building and Linyue Building."

The host, Yang Yu, walked at the front of the team. He threw out a golden leaf and threw it to the servant who came to greet him. He smiled and explained to the scholars: "Pingkangfang used to be called a certain building out of fashion. It is based on the surname of the bustard or Duzhi, that is, the surname of the famous actress, who is called who is who.

Because high-rise buildings that block the view are not allowed in the north of the city, only courtyards can be built.

Later, the school improved its construction technology, renovated the Taiji Palace and Daming Palace, and raised the height of the palace to overlook the whole Chang'an.

The unspoken rule of prohibiting the construction of high-rise buildings in the north of the city was subtly abandoned.”

Following Yang Yu's explanation, everyone stepped into the building, only to feel a cool breeze coming towards them.

In the building, there are jade masonry and carvings, Haobi is bright in the day, and Zhu Zhuo is bright and fresh.

The floor is covered with smooth and flat marble, the six vermilion columns are carved with golden patterns, and the beautiful and dazzling dodecagon-shaped large chandelier hangs from the ceiling, which contrasts with the lamps on the ground.

There were more than [-] tables of various shapes in the building, and the guests toasted and drank, but there was no noise as imagined - everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the hall.

The ground at the center of the first floor is hollowed out and stored as a pool, which is filled with running water through pipes buried in the ground.There are green lotus leaves and ever-bright lanterns floating on the surface of the pool, and the lotus flowers are blooming, exuding a faint fragrance.

On the pool surface, there is a circular wooden platform.There are small wooden bridges on all sides of the platform, and on the soft slump in the middle of the platform sits a soft and beautiful woman in a ruffled skirt, who is playing the guqin with concentration.

The sound of the piano is soft, the silk and bamboo are elegant,
This scene conquered everyone almost instantly, even Ji Linglang raised her eyebrows in amazement - the level of luxury and exquisiteness of this pavilion can be called a grand masterpiece, and it is more than enough to be used as a palace in other countries.

And this is just one of the third floors of Chang'an Pingkangfang.

Although Ji Linglang lived in Chang'an for a period of time when she was a child, she never came to Pingkangfang. She glanced around the whole building, and her eyes stayed on the yellow paper talisman attached to the beams and pillars, which was integrated with the decorative patterns, and said in surprise: "Cool Wind Charm?"

"Exactly."

Yang Yu slapped the folding fan and smiled: "Summer is hot and there are many mosquitoes, Pingkangfang usually sticks talismans in the pavilion to call in the breeze to cool off the heat.

However, other places are usually pasted with the wind charm.Only places like Lianhualou and Zuifanglou can afford cool breeze charms. At least five pieces are consumed every day, and the lights are on all night. "

"It's a luxury."

Ji Linglang smacked his lips in surprise. The cool wind talisman could only be written by a Talisman of the high-level Listening Rain Realm or the Cloud Patrol Realm. The price of a piece was between two hundred and three hundred.

"Well, but earn more."

Yang Yu explained casually, "The opening fee for a table of guests will start halfway, and when the lights are on at night, the price will double."

"No wonder it's the Golden Cave"

Song Shaoyuan's eyelids jumped. His family runs a restaurant. Just by looking at the number of customers present and the price of food and drinks on the table, he can roughly calculate the daily turnover and profit.

At least ten thousand.

This kind of terrifying profit, I am afraid that only the top honors can eat and hold it.

A group of students looked around and glanced at the splendid pavilions. They thought that Wuzhou was already prosperous enough. Only when they came to Chang'an did they know what luxury and prosperity are.

"Master."

Chai Cuiqiao tugged Li Ang's sleeve secretly, pointed to the lotus pond in the middle of the hall, and whispered in Li Ang's ear, "Do you think there will be money under that pond? Shout out and throw a lot of money into the pool or something."

Listening to the question from the little maid, Li Ang rolled his eyes and complained, "Have you watched too many monkey shows at temple fairs?

What should I do if I lose money and throw it on the forehead of a famous actor.

There should be a little servant, walking around with a silver plate to ask for rewards. "

"Master, isn't this still a monkey show?"

"Then throw the money another way. Hold a stack of flying money in one hand, hold down the bills in the other hand and throw it forward, like this, chua, chua, chua."

The two masters and servants chatted casually,
Yang Yu was not surprised by the behavior of the students from other places whispering, so he grabbed a servant and asked, "Does you know that you are here?"

The servant said, "Are you Yang Qilang? You know that, do you need me to help you have a banquet?"

"Yeah. A midday banquet."

Yang Yu led the crowd familiarly and walked along the left side of the hall to the backyard.

The tumult diminished,

The backyard of Lianhua Building is a set of courtyard houses with several entrances and exits. The hall is spacious and quiet, elegant and simple, planted with flowers and plants, and set up with strange stone basins, which contrasts sharply with the magnificent front yard.

Yang Yu led the crowd into the room and sat down one by one. The boy with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes brought all kinds of wine and food, and the band sitting behind the veil curtain began to play music.

In anticipation, I only heard Huan Pei Jing Dang, a woman in a pink ruffle skirt, surrounded by servants, slowly walked out of the corridor, and gave a dignified and charming salute to everyone, "You Qiao has seen everyone. ."

"This is Yudu."

Yang Yu said with a smile: "Today, she will be the law recorder, and the gong recorder."

"Let me do it."

Song Shaoyuan raised his hand unexpectedly, and he looked at the charming You Duzhi, took a sip of wine, and covered up the blushing on his face.

Although Pingkangfang is a place of wind and moon, pure wind and moon is only a small part of it.
It is more of a banquet and reception for officials and eunuchs.

What Yang Yu said about Lulu and Gonglu belonged to a game called Xingjiu.

The law recorder is the judge. He sits at the table and begins to "declare the order", which is the rule of today's wine order.

Either improvising poetry, or referring to objects, or according to the calendar or season, or composing poetry with puns on scenery, one sentence per person, unable to continue or not well,

You have to be fined a glass of wine according to the requirements of the legal referee.

For example, the first person said "the moon in autumn is as round as a mirror", the second person said "the autumn wind is as sharp as a knife", the third person said "the autumn wind is lighter than the fox", and the fourth person said "the autumn grass is as thin as hair".

The degree of difficulty of different laws varies greatly. This kind of "proposition couplets to chant autumn things" is the simplest, and even a little level of literati does not bother to carry out such wine orders.

The most difficult wine order requires that every sentence must be quoted from the scriptures, strictly rhymed, and closely related to the personnel present.

This requires that all famous actors who are legal referees must have extremely high talent and emotional intelligence, and can instantly judge whether each sentence goes with the rules and whether it should be punished for drinking.

To a certain extent, a famous actor who can be called a well-known actor has surpassed [-]% of the scholars, even if he takes the imperial examinations, there is no problem.

"Speaking of the drinking order, there was an interesting incident in Yu Chu 200 years ago. At that time, Su Zi was a dandy boy who was unrestrained. An old man saw that he was not used to it, so he confronted him about the drinking order at the banquet.

The old man laughed at Su Zi's "Chang'an is frivolous, the white horse is golden",
The two poems quoted the original sentences from Jia Zhi's "Two Poems in Spring" and Han Shan's "Three Hundred and Thirteen Poems" respectively.

And the young Su Zi responded, "Yesterday's beautiful boy, today's old and ugly", also from "Three Hundred and Thirteen Poems" and Liu Xiyi's "Mourning the White-headed Weed".

The angry old man blew his beard and stared at him, while Su Zi kept drinking as a fu, fighting a hundred poems, scolding the old man and everyone who helped the old man at the banquet without swearing, and became famous overnight.

And that old man was the head of the academy back then, and because of this incident, Su Zi was specially recruited into the academy, and it became a popular story.”

Yang Yu smiled and told interesting stories about the wine order,
Li Ang, who knew that his talent for poetry and songs was not high, consciously sat at the back of the banquet, happily ate side dishes with Chai Cuiqiao, and silently complained, "Emotional Suzi is still a violent gang rapper?

AKA Suzi? "

Li Ang raised his head, just in time to see Song Shaoyuan, who was the gonglu (assisting the referee to drink alcohol), blushing and sitting beside You Duzhi.

Li Ang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Brother Song, is this tempted?

Gee.

Li Ang lowered his head, unexpectedly Song Shaoyuan usually looks honest, honest and gentle, but he likes this kind of charming and charming type.

People are unbelievable.

Having said that, Xue Gong Shan seems to have the right to recruit students without passing the exam?

Li Ang took a sip of the fragrant fruit wine and thought casually.

----

"Cough cough!"

North of Chang'an City, Longshouyuan, Daming Palace, Imperial Garden.

The tall Hefa old man stopped, covered his mouth and coughed.

"Mountain Chief!"

Several eunuchs with lanterns beside the old man fell to the ground in an instant, their hands trembling with fear, and they were silent.

The white-faced eunuch at the head did not need a yellow coat, holding a lantern, his lips trembling and he asked, "You, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, just a little cold."

The old man slowly tightened the white fox fur on his body and said lightly, "Don't worry about it, let's go."

"Yes."

The yellow-robed eunuch barely calmed down, led the way, and forcibly held back the twitching of his calf—at the moment when the old man coughed, the eunuch felt great fear, even though he was from the fourth rank of the inner servant, the provincial junior supervisor, and the emperor's personal body. Internal waiter.

Lian Xuanxiao, Xuegong Shanzhang, the most important pillar of the Yu Kingdom, and a monk who had stepped into the Candle Xiao Realm 30 years ago, coughed.

The cultivator comprehends the perfect principle of heaven and earth, the qi and the sea cycle back and forth, and rarely get sick.But when you get sick, it means something serious has happened.

Haotian Temple, Nanzhou, Xijing, Nanzhao, and even the long-dormant Turks,
All countries and forces in the world will move because of this cough.

Set off a storm.

The yellow-robed eunuch silently led the way in front of him, came to stand outside the courtyard, and watched the old man walk into the courtyard under the leadership of Jin Wuwei soldiers.

When the old man's back disappeared, the yellow-robed waiter turned around, his eyes were like knives, he cut through all the trembling eunuchs, and said coldly, "No one is allowed to tell what happened today. die."

----

Inside the house in the courtyard, a graceful and luxurious woman wearing a phoenix crown and phoenix clothes, but unable to hide her haggard eyes, stood up and said softly, "You are here, Chief."

In Daming Palace, there is only one person who can wear a phoenix crown and phoenix clothes, Queen Xue.

And the middle-aged man in black uniform sitting on the side of the bed next to her, pursing his lips slightly, and not being angry and arrogant, was naturally the Emperor of Yu Kingdom.

The ruler of the largest empire in the world, the Empress of the Yu Kingdom, whose words and deeds can affect the fate of hundreds of millions of people.

But at the moment, they are just an anxious couple.

"I have seen Your Majesty, the Queen."

The old man nodded casually, and didn't even salute—it was the right of the mountain chief to see the emperor without salute, not to mention the emperor himself was the student he grew up with.

"Come over here and have a look, Le Ling, she has a heart attack again."

The emperor sighed and looked sadly at the pale girl on the bed.

Li Leling, the eldest daughter of the emperor and Empress Xue, is naturally beautiful, with a beautiful face, elegant and good at Danqing poetry, and is most favored by the emperor and empress.Only he was born with heart disease and cannot stand and run for a long time.

The old man walked forward silently, put his finger on the girl's wrist to check the pulse, opened his eyes after a while, took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms, used his finger as a pen, wrote a talisman on the paper, and gently attached the talisman to the girl on the wrist,
Only then did he stand up, take a half step back, and whispered to the Empress: "The princess's heart is born with a defect, and the heart disease gradually worsens with the flow of blood. It is more serious than the last time.

The minister used the Turtle Breath Talisman to delay the princess's heartbeat and slow down the heart disease. From now on, His Majesty will send people to the Academy to receive the Turtle Breath Talisman written by the officials once every three months.

Still, it's the same. Treat the symptoms, not the root cause. "

The leader of the mountain was the most powerful cultivator in the country of Yu, and what he said was almost equivalent to the golden rule.

Queen Xue's face was pale, her figure swayed, and she barely held onto the bedpost to stand firm, completely unable to see the dignified and dignified nature of the mother in the day, who was in charge of the world and the six palaces, "Damn imperial doctor, **** medical officer, they prescribe so much. Medicine, so many prescriptions, none of them are useful"

Empress Xue disregarded her manners and cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth, even though she herself knew that it was useless - a congenital heart disease, and medicine stones were difficult to cure,

In fact, the fact that Li Leling has survived to this day is entirely due to the emperor and the empress who, at all costs, collected herbs and rare treasures, and forced the princess' life to the present.

"Okay, stop talking."

The emperor waved his hand wearily and said in a low voice, "Shan Chang, is there no other way?

For example, outliers."

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes met the calm and firm eyes of the emperor.

"There are many kinds of aliens in the world, strange and unpredictable.

And when two or three different species meet, unpredictable and treacherous reactions will occur.

There is no alien that can cure Le Ling's congenital heart disease in the Tianji Building of the imperial palace.
The Dongjun Tower of the Academy, the Wanhua Pavilion of the Haotian Temple, maybe there is a way."

the emperor whispered,

The Jinwu guards who were guarding outside the house were all silent, eager to plug their ears.

Heterogeneous is the common enemy of all living beings under Haotian's rule. The school palace and the Zhenfu Division can contain and study the alien, and even use the alien as a weapon.
But treat diseases with aliens, and even transplant aliens.
It was almost a demonic act, which Haotian could not tolerate.

An emperor of a country talked about these contents in a hut, and spread it out for some terrifying shock in the world.

"Auntie, Aye, don't."

After putting on the turtle's breath symbol, Li Leling, whose face improved a little, reluctantly sat up and pulled her parents who wanted to say more, "Don't"

Ugh.

The old man sighed softly and lowered his eyes again, "Your Majesty, let the princess come to the academy to enroll in this year. The princess has reached her age, and she will be purifying and cultivating in the academy.

As for the matter of Dongjun Tower, the minister will think of a way. "

"Then there will be Mr. Laoshan."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and sent the old man away together with the queen.

The full moon hung high, and the old man, accompanied by the eunuch in yellow, silently walked out of the forbidden garden, got on a carriage, and drove out of the imperial city.

Gululu——

The wheel of the wagon was rolling on the slate floor of Chang'an at night. As the deep palace was far away, the noise of the bustling city gradually approached.

"Heart trouble."

The old man seemed to have remembered something, raised his head slightly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the roof of the carriage, looked at the vast and vast Milky Way, and muttered to himself, "My heart is broken, can I still live?"

"vomit--"

Li Ang, who drank too much fruit wine, stood on the side of the road, spitting sour water under Chai Cuiqiao's pat on the back.

Unexpectedly, Chang'an's fruit wine still has some degrees.

Li Ang, who was drunk, didn't notice the carriage that was drifting away and disappeared across the street corner. He stood there for a while, burped a wine burp, and whispered like a dream, "My heart is broken, I can't make it up. .

Extracorporeal cross-circulation technology, understand, hiccup, understand.”
