Yutai Bi

Chapter 245 Dragon Spirit
Hearing what he said, Cen Sanniang sighed, remembering that all the reasons came from the old Taoist words, put on the hood and stayed obediently in the car.

After entering the city, the carriage carrying Yuan Tiangang went straight to Daming Palace.

Du Yansui and Cen Sanniang returned to the Duke's Mansion where they had been away for several months.

When the two entered the mansion, they went directly to the Zhengqi Hall without bothering to tidy up.

Mrs. Du's face was flushed, she changed her clothes and sat in the main hall waiting.

The two went in, saw the old lady's complexion was rosy, they all smiled at the same time, and went forward to kowtow to the old lady.

The Duke's Mansion was immersed in joy.

Yuan Tiangang is well-known in the world for his face-to-face orders, and his whereabouts are like all the masters who have attained the Tao.Like the empty mountain hidden in Orchid, it is always rare to see it deliberately.I can't say that I can't go there, and suddenly I smell the fragrance.

He took the initiative to enter the palace to ask for an audience, which surprised Gaozong and filled his heart with various speculations.

The biggest event in the country is that the West Conscript Army is at war with the Western Turks.Even Emperor Gaozong was shocked. Could it be that Yuan Tiangang came here for the expedition to the west?

Gaozong summoned him in the imperial study room, and he called him a celestial master, with a kind face on his face, but he was a little nervous in his heart, for fear that this iron-mouthed god would say something unfavorable to Xizheng.

"The old Taoist watched the sky at night, and at first he saw the dragon in the southwest. I think that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the country has been prosperous and the people have been safe. For the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the old Taoist can't bear it, so I come to the palace to face the saint." Yuan Tiangang stroked the white beard under his chin.

There is heresy in the sky, and the country will be in chaos.This is the consensus of all.

Yuan Tiangang's face-to-face orders never slipped from his mouth, and no one dared to doubt the words that came out of his mouth.

The dragon spirit is soaring, which means that the real dragon emperor will meet his opponent.Gaozong couldn't help becoming nervous: "Is there a dragon spirit in the southwest?"

Southwest... Gaozong thought of King Teng.

Longzhou is located in a mountainous area. Although the terrain is dangerous and the head of the Jialing River is strangled, it is inconvenient to travel.Most of them are sloping land, with little grain production, mainly mulberry tea.If soldiers are hoarded, it will be difficult to solve the soldiers' rations.King Teng spent a lot of money on building palaces and gardens. Even if he wanted to rebel, he was powerless.

Only after receiving the report, Princess Teng died of illness.The old Duke Yuchi felt sorry for his young daughter and fell ill.The nice girl died of illness within two years of marrying him.There has been a rift between King Teng and the Yuchi Mansion.He has no reliable in-laws.

After thinking about it, although Gaozong thought of King Teng, he felt that he could not turn against him.

However, this was said by Yuan Tiangang.Unable to believe Gaozong, he left the throne eagerly, bowed his hands to Yuan Tiangang and saluted: "Please ask the celestial master to guide the maze."

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't panic. Although there is a dragon's aura soaring to the sky, there is no dragon appearing. There is a saying that it is difficult for a snake to transform into a dragon without encountering a treasure. If a real dragon is trapped in the shallows, it can only hibernate into a snake. Just break If you have the feng shui style of the place where the dragon is raised, you can turn the catastrophe into nothingness. I would like to ask the emperor to give you a secret edict, and the old Taoist will secretly find out the place where the dragon's energy is born, and do it cheaply."

Gao Zong breathed a sigh of relief.

How can I not attract people's attention?
Gaozong thought of Du Yansui.He kept his filial piety at home and did not go to court, and the Duke's Mansion had three hundred guards, so it was most appropriate to accompany Yuan Tiangang in private.I heard that he accompanied his wife back to his hometown to sacrifice to his parents-in-law. He had been away for more than half a year, and it was almost time to come back.

Gaozong kept Yuan Tiangang in Changchun Palace and sent Hu Gonggong to Du's house.

Du Yansui and Cen Sanniang returned to the Duke's Mansion.Mrs. Du was delighted, and the servants were also overjoyed.Xia Chu and Nuan Dong teamed up to drive Aqiu Fengchun to rest in Guiyanju, rushing forward to serve him.

Xia Chu knew what Cen Sanniang was thinking, and told her what happened in Chang'an City in detail: "Young Madam, you don't know, Chang'an City is very lively just after you leave. The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers to welcome relatives rings out every day. It doesn’t stop. The Western Expeditionary Army left Beijing in early June, and many families rushed to get married before the army left.”

Cen Sanniang understood: "Although we are full of confidence in fighting the Western Turks, the people with government soldiers are worried that the battlefield will be blind, and want to leave a queen for their son. That's why they rushed to get married. The Duke and I are not in the house. It’s less rewarding.”

She remembered that Du Yansui had said that Cui Zhongdong from the Founding Marquis's Mansion also joined the West Conquest Army, so she asked Xia Chu: "Did the third young lady of the second room send you a post? Her sister seems to have promised Cui Sanlang."

"Yes, why not." Xia Chu was a little annoyed when talking about this matter, "Our family and the Cui family have an enmity. Although the third young lady married into the Du family, how could our family be a gift to the Cui family? The old lady was not on the spot Outbreak, just say that you and the Duke are not in the mansion, and she is not healthy, so she won't join in the fun. Probably the old lady of the second bedroom knew about it and trained the third young lady. The next day, the third young lady came to the mansion to cry and tell the old man The apology is coming."

She paused, and said softly: "The door opened. The third young lady brought food boxes to honor the old lady every now and then. The door was opened for the convenience of serving the old lady. The door was smashed and locked, and the old lady said with a straight face that she was afraid that the door would not be strictly controlled. The third young lady swore that she would never send the girl in and out through the door of the Duke's mansion. Let the older nanny go, otherwise let the old lady seal the door. The old lady had no choice but to send two women to guard the door. In the past six months, every time she sent someone out of the house, it was the old nanny by her side The old lady is not good to say anything."

Cen Sanniang felt uncomfortable when she heard this.

It's like an outsider holds the key to your house and can come in and out freely.Promise that you will never do nonsense, what should you do if you suddenly appeared in front of you that day and you were taking a shower?
"No, we're back. We can't let Wei Xiaowan wander around in this backyard." Cen Sanniang rolled her eyes and asked Nuan Dong to see if Du Yansui came back from the outer courtyard.

She is too lazy to be this villain.Wei Xiaowan got so angry when Du Yansui stepped forward and sealed the door.

After Nuan Dong went, he would come back and report: "Young madam, a father-in-law came to the palace, and the father-in-law followed him into the palace without even changing his clothes."

What are you in such a hurry for?Cen Sanniang jumped up in shock. Could it be that the emperor was in a hurry to send Du Yansui to conquer the Western Army?She was not in the mood to listen to Xia Chu's gossip, so she hurried to Zhengqi Hall to discuss with the old lady.

Mrs. Du looked at Cen Sanniang's slender waist with regret, and she didn't get pregnant after going out for a few months.Hearing Cen Sanniang finish speaking in a hurry, she shook her head and said, "No. The Western Conqueror Army only set off in June. It has been at least two months since they arrived at the border, set up camp, and at most a small group was dispatched to clean up a range of hundreds of miles. They have not yet started a direct war with the Western Turks. They are all trusted generals of the Duke of England, and there is no place for Yansui when he goes there. The Du family has only one seedling of Yansui, and he has no son yet, and he is in the filial piety period. Don't say that the emperor wants to ask him to go, he has to ask the old man Agree or disagree. Sigh, Sanniang, you have to be more aggressive."

Cen Sanniang was sweating profusely, she really came to her door to be scolded.She really didn't use contraception anymore, so let nature take its course.The mouth obediently agreed.Patiently listened to Mrs. Du's teaching on how to tie Du Yansui to work hard in the house.

At the end, Mrs. Du told Mother Yin: "Take the money from my monthly bank account, and make soup for Yan Sui every day." Then she said to Cen Sanniang, "I think Xia Chu and Nuan Dong are doing a good job. The mansion has been taken care of for the past six months. If everything goes well, you should worry less, having a son is the most important thing. Those soups are all good things, remember to drink them while watching Yan Sui every day."

After speaking, he and Yin's mother looked at Cen Sanniang and smiled.

Cen Sanniang was being laughed at embarrassingly.The voice of a girl calling the third young lady came from outside the door.Cen Sanniang was startled, and saw Wei Xiaowan bring in a food box.

Mrs. Du was not happy anymore: "I told you not to bother, why did Sanlang's wife bring vegetables again?"

Wearing a brand-new silk dress, Wei Xiaowan stepped forward to salute the old lady, pointed to Cen Sanniang and said, "Sanniang has returned home, I was so happy, so I made two dishes and sent them here."

Cen Sanniang thought to herself, it's not that there is no cook in my house, who cares about you delivering food.She knew that the old lady couldn't save face, and Wei Xiaowan was pretending to be a waiter.Standing up, he returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law three. The Duke and I are not in the mansion, so it's hard for you to come and take care of grandma."

"San Niang, you are being polite. We are all a family, as it should be."

Who wants to be a family with you?Cen Sanniang smiled and asked Ah Qiu to come up to pick up the food box, and ordered: "Go and get the prepared earthenware."

Wei Xiaowan sat down and talked with the old lady for a while.After half an hour, Xia Chu also followed.Passed the gift list to Cen Sanniang.

Cen Sanniang opened it and saw that there were several gift lists, including the whole second room.I praised the two girls for their cleverness.Standing up, she said to Mrs. Du: "Grandmother, I will send the earthen instrument to the second room right away. Third sister-in-law, I will go with you."

Cen Sanniang wanted to go to the mansion to give gifts, so she invited Wei Xiaowan to come with her.Wei Xiaowan had the nerve to say, I want to stay, and you go to my house to give gifts?She had no choice but to stand up and salute, and took the girl and Cen Sanniang with her.

After leaving Zhengqi hall, the two of them took the girl to the corridor at the same time.

Wei Xiaowan asked softly: "I heard that rice is the staple food in Longzhou. Is the Duke used to it?"

Cen Sanniang said with a smile: "Master Guo is not used to it...he has lost weight from hunger."

Wei Xiaowan covered her mouth with a round fan, her eyes were extremely surprised: "Ah! Then you will have to make up for it when you come back. Sanniang, you should cook some soup cakes for the Duke yourself."

"Thank you, sister-in-law San, for your concern. Just now, my grandmother ordered the kitchen to cook Dragon and Tiger Boy Chicken Soup and Double Whip Improving Yang Soup for Grandpa every day. There is a long list." Cen Sanniang also covered her lips with a round fan, her eyes narrowed with a smile It became a seam.

That's not what she meant!Wei Xiaowan couldn't help blushing, and spat at her: "San Niang, how dare you say those things... I'm ashamed to hear it!"
