A Thousand Hills

Chapter 83

The position of minister is hopeless, Qin Shilang will continue to shine in the position of minister with peace of mind.As for what the censor proposed, "Qin Shilang should be responsible for Li Qiao's demotion, and then resigned to take the blame", Qin Shilang took it as a fart.He is indeed a bit of a gentleman, but after all, he is a third-rank official, and these censors have underestimated the thickness of his majestic third-rank official, thinking that such old troubles can make him step down!
Hehe, how naive!
Xie Moru took the time to go to Xishan Temple, and gave a set of "Diary of Immortals" from Yong'an Houfu to Master Wenxiu.Master Wenxiu smiled, "I don't want to be able to read this book in my lifetime."

Thinking of Li Xuan's willingness to borrow his own books, Xie Moru felt that according to Master Wenxiu's status, if he asked, the Yong'an Hou Mansion would naturally offer it with both hands for Master Wenxiu to borrow.However, Xie Moru was not an abrupt person. Feeling strange, he didn't say much, but said, "Yong'an Hou Shizi is a generous man. I took the liberty to ask about it, and he gave me a look. I have already told you about the loan to the master. The prince has said it, master just rest assured."

Venerable Master Wenxiu stroked the cover that had been mounted on fine silk, and said, "I have entered Buddhism now, but I have always read every book. This "Book of the Immortals" was not uncommon in the Dafeng Dynasty. It has been published and printed. However, the Taizu of the previous dynasty was extremely evil in the art of immortality, so no one mentioned this book anymore. After a long time, this book is hard to find. And because of the incident that the last emperor of the previous dynasty wanted to seize Ziyu Qingyun The Marquis of Yong'an is very cautious about these two treasures, and those who are not extremely trustworthy will not borrow them."

Li Xuanzhi is open-minded, Xie Moru has a deep understanding now, it seems that it is indeed a bit abrupt for her to ask to borrow this book.

This is the treasure of the Li family, and the Li family even directly rebelled against the previous dynasty because of Ziyu Qingyun, and instead joined the camp of the late emperor.The family treasure was almost lost, so the Li family would naturally watch it more closely. She borrowed it as soon as she said, thinking it would embarrass the Li family.However, things may not be as she imagined. I heard that the Marquis of Yongan used Ziyu Qingyun as a betrothal... The Li family rebelled against the previous dynasty because of this flute, but they used this flute as a betrothal gift to marry the current princess... ...The treasure in the family is true, but it seems that the Li family has long been dissatisfied with the previous court and intends to vote for another master. If the flute is not flute, it is probably just an excuse.

Of course, Ziyu Qingyun is definitely a rare treasure in the world, there is no doubt about it, otherwise the last emperor of the previous dynasty would have to disregard his identity and force him to rebel against the Li family.

Venerable Wenxiu has a pair of insightful eyes, not to mention seeing the fire clearly, but also seeing the vicissitudes of the world. Seeing that Xie Moru regained his indifference and calm, he couldn't help smiling.

Xie Moru handed the book to Venerable Wenxiu, and then asked him for advice.

Xie Moru returned home in the afternoon, now Mrs. Xie treats her more pleasantly, and said with a smile, "I figured you'd have to come back in the afternoon, how about using it in the temple at noon?"

"If it's hot today, I'd like to eat some vegetarian food." Xie Moru greeted Mrs. Xie, said a few words with Xie Moyou, then got up and went back to the Dujuan courtyard to change clothes.

Nanny Zhang is now walking with the wind, and when she saw Xie Moru coming back, she immediately brought her maids, big and small, to serve with a smile on her face. It was hot, and my grandma had a small bowl of cold noodles, some side dishes, and a bowl of vegetable soup at noon. In the morning, Miss Suxin from Songbaiyuan came to deliver some seasonal fruits. Use some, just to cool off the heat."

Xie Moru said hello, drank a cup of herbal tea and used some fruits, then leaned on the purple bamboo couch and flipped through the "Diary of the Immortals" she had copied. This book is titled with the word "immortal", but the content is related to cultivating immortals not big.What Xie Moru held in his hand was his own copy, and the original book was sent to Master Wenxiu, looking at the handwriting, Xie Moru also felt that his handwriting was better than Tang Shenxian.

This set of books is mostly some experiences recorded by Tang Shenxian himself. The cover of the original book was framed with fine silk, and there were four faded and powerful words: Notes of Immortals, but Xie Moru speculated that this silk cover should be made later. The Li family made it separately, because there are five crooked words on the first page of the cover: Xichun's diary.According to the notes in the original book, Immortal Tang's handwriting is written in such a crooked manner, which is thousands of miles away from Immortal Tang's immortal name for thousands of years.

In fact, this book has been in the Li family for many years, and it is already a piece of history. After reading it now, the content is vast and extensive. The footprints spread all over are more extensive, and most of them are records of going to sea.If he hadn’t read this book in person, Xie Moru wouldn’t have known that there are so many different countries overseas, and all kinds of people, including those with blonde hair and blue eyes, some with red hair and black eyes, and those as black as charcoal. , and the products of various countries are rich, not inferior to China.The most rare thing is that there are customs of various countries, overseas geographical locations, products, climates, etc. recorded in astrology, which are rich in content and rarely seen in the world.

Xie Moru is a person who is familiar with history books, she now knows where Tang Immortal came from when he was Marquis of Weihai when Emperor Fengwu.Because the immortals of Tang finally broke away from the realm of mortals and achieved the status of immortals.Therefore, regardless of official history, unofficial history or folklore, later generations recorded the story of Tang immortals going to sea mostly in the way that Tang immortals found immortal recipes overseas and then became immortals.And from this note, we can know that Tang Immortals went to sea back then, not for any overseas fairy recipes, but for huge overseas trade.Tang Shenxian is proficient in astrology, and can determine the position of ships on the vast sea, and then record precious navigation maps.

It turns out that there is such a wide world in the world.

Xie Moru was silent, fascinated for a while.

Xie Moru read a book in the room for a while, had dinner with Fang Shi in the evening, washed up and went to bed early.

On the second day, Xie Moru didn't forget to remind Mrs. Xie, "It's almost two years since General Song passed away. I heard from Xingyun that she will go to Tianqi Temple to do a Taoist temple, and she will be filial piety in October."

Mrs. Xie turned her head and told Su Lan to remember to prepare for the funeral ceremony, feeling, "Time flies so fast."

Xie Moyou acted curiously at the side, "Big sister, you haven't met Miss Jiang a few times, do you all know each other by name?" The door of the wife's house can be mastered by Jiang Xingyun like this.Thinking of Jiang Xingyun, what came to Xie Moyou's mind was an extremely beautiful face, and suddenly, Xie Moyou felt a little awkward.

Xie Moru said lightly, "We can still talk about it."

Xie Moyou felt that Xie Moru was really a master at choking people, what Xie Moru said, could it be that he couldn't get along with her.

Xie Moru noticed Xie Moyou's expression, and said, "You and my sister are not the same as others."

Xie Moyou couldn't help laughing, and a little shy, said honestly, "I'm just a little bit...jealous."

jealous?Xie Moru was noncommittal.

Mrs. Xie said with a smile, "What a silly idea. I don't know what it's like to be together all day long. When I get to my age, I'll look back and see how profound it is to be able to live under the same roof for more than ten years." It's fate."

The grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed for a while. The next day, new news came from the imperial capital. The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yongding, Cui Shi, married the eldest son of the emperor, Mu Yanxi. congratulatory gift.

The marriage bestowed by the eldest son of the emperor was both unexpected and expected.After all, since the beginning of the year, the royal family has started to choose a concubine for the eldest son of the emperor. Seeing that the prince is an adult, if the concubine cannot be selected again, the eldest son of the emperor will be a bachelor.

As for the Yongding Marquis Mansion, this is a hereditary Marquis Mansion. In terms of benefits, it is no worse than Zhao Guogong Mansion, Chu Guogong Mansion, and Cheng Engong Mansion.The eldest son and concubine of the emperor came from the Marquis of Yongding, which is enough to match the eldest son of the emperor.

Xie Moru didn't think much about it, she continued to live in the same boudoir after returning from Xishan Temple, went to Huazhang Hall with Xie Moyou in the morning to listen to Mr. Ji's homework lectures, and in the afternoon, she followed Mrs. Xie to learn how to be a housekeeper and copy a volume in her spare time Book.After copying a copy, Xie Moru put the book into the bookcase and ordered someone to give it to Li Xuan, with a letter in the book, asking Li Xuan if he could give the book to Li Qiao for a read, and if so, please Li Xuan to give it to Li Qiao Send it, if it's inconvenient, forget it.

Li Xuan was able to lend the family heirloom book to Mo Ru's younger sister, so naturally he would not hesitate to show it to his brother-in-law. He was looking for his brother when he had something to do, so he ran for Mo Ru's younger sister.

Li Qiao was appreciated by Mr. Beiling. It would be inconvenient to live in the suburbs if he wanted to participate in the construction of the library, so he simply built a house in the city. Four servants live in this small courtyard. There are not many people, and the living space is quite spacious.When Li Xuan arrived, Li Qiao was eating cold melon to enjoy the cool in the courtyard. Seeing Li Xuan coming, Li Qiao got up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you say anything, luckily I didn't go out."

A servant brought a bamboo chair, and Li Xuan went over to sit on it, joking, "I guess my elder brother doesn't have the habit of going out at night to relax." He said and handed him a wooden box, "Maybe my sister asked me to bring it to my elder brother."

Li Qiao opened it directly in front of Li Xuan. Seeing that it was a family heirloom of the Li family, he couldn't help but feel a little hot, and looked at Li Xuan, "I don't think so, okay?" Master Hou knows?

"This is not the original book, it was copied by Mo Ru's younger sister for you."

Li Qiao was speechless, "You are real." Waiting for an idler to do something to cover up, obviously he has also done favors, asking Li Xuanyi to talk about it, it is completely none of his business.

Li Xuan smiled, "Since it was Mo Ru's sister's wish, of course I have to tell the truth, if it weren't for Mo Ru's sister, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Li Qiao couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry, Brother Xuan." Li Xuan was always generous, but Xie Moru became more thoughtful and thoughtful.

Li Xuan smiled, "Actually, it's nothing."

Li Qiao put the book back in the book case, put it on the low table by his hand, and said, "I'm a foreigner, so I can't meet Miss Xie. Miss Xie, how are you doing?" Xie Moru's ability and character are not good It was difficult, of course, she thought it would not be so easy.

"It's pretty good." Li Xuan sent off the attendant, waved the cattail fan twice, half covered his mouth, and asked Li Qiao in a low voice, "Brother, do you know who did Qin Shilang's matter?"

Li Qiao didn't keep it a secret from Li Xuan, but wrote three characters on Li Xuan's palm. Li Xuan was a little surprised, he never expected that it was Xie Shangshu who made the move. Li Qiao warned, "Don't tell others."

Li Xuan said again and again, "I really didn't expect it, it's just that there is a feud between the two of them?" He knew that his elder brother had a good relationship with the Xie family.But it was beyond Li Xuan's expectation that Xie Shangshu could do it himself. Could it be for his elder brother?Or is there another reason?

Li Qiao laughed, "I don't know about that, I just washed away my reputation by the way. As for Qin Shilang, anyway, he and I have a long history, so I would like to see him delaying his career due to my affairs this time."

It was the first time for Li Xuan to see someone talk about this conspiracy so frankly and directly. He thought about it again, but for Shu brother, Qin Shilang hadn't done anything good.Since it wasn't the Shu brother who made the move, and the Xie family had something to do with it, Li Xuan decided to pretend that he didn't know anything.

The two brothers talked for a while, Li Qiao stayed with Li Xuan for dinner, but Li Xuan was not polite, and he had to drink tea after dinner before leaving and going home.

Li Xuan has always been considerate in his work, he did not forget to write a short message after returning home, instructing the servant to send it to Shang Shu's Mansion tomorrow, which is worthy of Mo Ru's younger sister's entrustment.

Xie Moru didn't say anything after receiving his letter, and sent him back after rewarding the boy who delivered the letter.On the contrary, Xie Shangshu heard that Xie Moru sent "The Notes of the Immortals" to Venerable Wenxiu and Li Qiao first, and was quite depressed. Why didn't Xie Moru tell him to show him "The Notes of the Immortals"?He hasn't read "The Immortal's Notes" either!
