Chapter 38
Chapter 38
When Master Wu saw Yun Qi, he was helping his little puppy overcome his fear of heights.
Obviously, he is quite bold at ordinary times, but for some reason, as soon as he is picked up on the horse, he screams like he is on the execution ground. Those who don't know think that Kudu Temple is opening meat today, and he is going to eat dog meat!
How can Yun Qi take it back to meet its brother?
Thinking of the other little guy, I don't know if the monk has fed it well, won't it become thinner?
Has the great monk himself lost weight?
Probably not!
He has such a good appetite.
Seeing Lord Wu approaching, Yun Qi handed the little fat man in his arms to Qing Yi, jumped off the horse, and said with a smile: "The emperor approved my family leave?"
For those who bring him good news, he has never been stingy with smiling faces.
Master Wu always felt that the Yun Qi he saw today was a bit different from the one he knew before, but he couldn't tell the details, it just seemed like the dark clouds had cleared.
Hearing this, he glanced at Yun Qi sympathetically, and said, "Young Master Yun, don't you know how to count?"
This sympathetic look, this mocking tone...
Yun Qi has always been uncertain about his own affairs, but this time he knows without counting, he coldly snorted: "Is the emperor trying to play tricks?"
Master Wu coughed dryly, and corrected him: "How do you talk? How can the emperor call you a shameless person? As for the emperor, he just wants to make another bet with you."
He also said he was not cheating!
He was like that when he was a child, he lost one game and said he was not ready, lost two games and said three rounds would determine the outcome, lost three games... he stopped playing!
Just as he was thinking wildly, Yun Qi suddenly felt that the roots of his ears were clear, looked back, and shouted: "Don't let it come down, keep practicing, you only have courage!"
Qing Yi responded, and with Little Pang Dun in his arms, he jumped on the horse again.
So the screams like killing a dog sounded again.
Only then did Yun Qi turn around, and said casually: "How do I know if the emperor will play tricks? Unless I cash out the previous bet first, I won't have time to play with him!"
"Also, teach you to be good, don't bet with me if you have nothing to do." Yun Qi glanced at Master Wu disdainfully, and said, "Do you think I will lose this kind of bet?"
Master Wu choked, thinking of the basket of oranges that fell on his head yesterday, he was so angry, he snorted coldly: "Then I will teach you to be good too."
"You said."
Master Wu put his hands behind his back leisurely, and said: "It's useless to deal with His Majesty just by winning the game."
Do you think that if you win the bet, you can go back to Kudu Temple for the New Year smoothly?Hey, dream on you!If you don't have fun with His Majesty, believe it or not, you won't be able to go back next year?
Yun Qi said "oh", nodded and said: "Master Wu means that no matter how many times I win, the emperor will play tricks, right!"
Master Wu's expression changed drastically, and he almost rushed forward to cover his mouth. He quickly glanced left and right, and said sternly, "Nonsense! I mean, His Majesty has a firm heart and will never lose his mind by playing around with things!"
He lowered his voice again, and said repeatedly: "I said Mr. Yun, Master Yun! Your Majesty is very itchy now, doesn't he just want to see your ability with his own eyes, so you can show him what's wrong? Seriously A hexagram, do the math carefully, won't it be enough?
"As long as His Majesty is happy, you can get home leave or something? Maybe I will give you a few months of long leave at once, right?"
Yun Qi thinks about it too, not to mention the long holiday, if the emperor keeps focusing on himself, how can he live a clean life?
Asked: "How do you bet this time?"
Master Wu said: "Don't you ask about the bet first?"
This is the big news he brought!
Yun Qi curled his lips and said: "Our Majesty the Emperor is a rascal, and he likes to bet with things that belong to others—what is there to ask?"
Lord Wu glanced at Yun Qi, and said with his hands behind his back: "Your Majesty said, if you win, it is not impossible to appoint you as a national teacher."
National teacher, is this a big bet?
If you don't believe me, you won't be tempted!
National Division?Yun Qi was really surprised, his eyes widened, and he said in astonishment: "It turns out that Da Qian's national teacher is so worthless?"
Pooh!What is this nonsense?
Master Wu looked serious, and said seriously: "Your Majesty said that a small horseshoe is enough to bear the false name of ten national teachers."
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to slap his mouth. What happened to him today?Confused, you get caught in it at every turn!Sure enough, meeting this kid will be all right!
But if he didn't explain a word, wouldn't it make him think that the emperor is a foolish emperor who will play with state affairs at will?
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor, although it may seem a bit absurd at times, is never ambiguous when it comes to major issues.
Yun Qi curled his lips again: Sure enough, he was fooling him with something that was originally his!
I have never seen such a stingy emperor!
He nodded and said, "Well, I see, how do you want to bet this time?"
Master Wu took out a jade pendant from his bosom, and said: "If you find Your Majesty within three hours, even if you win, this jade pendant is specially reserved by His Majesty for you to use for divination."
It's jade pendant again, can't we have some fresh ones?
Yun Qi blinked, did not speak, reached out to take the jade pendant, and respectfully placed it on the stone table aside.
He touched around his arms, sleeves, and waist, and then he remembered that because he didn't plan to go out today, he didn't have a purse on him, so he stretched out his hand to Mr. Wu, who was standing by and looked at him inexplicably, and said, "Borrow a few copper coins." use?"
Master Wu suspiciously took out a handful of copper coins and gave it to him.
Yun Qi cleared his throat, carefully counted nine of them, folded his palms together, and recited a few words "Amitabha", "Tathagata Buddha", "Guanyin Bodhisattva"... again blowing air, and drawing circles in the air , is dazzling.
Then he began to circle around the stone table where the jade pendant was placed, two steps to the left, two steps to the right, half a circle to the left, half a circle to the right... At the same time, he muttered words.
Master Wu couldn't help but interjected: "The seven-star step or something, isn't it used by Taoists?"
Yun Qi looked back at him angrily, and said, "Can I practice both Buddhism and Taoism?"
Which eye saw him take the seven-star step?Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!It was so bad that he couldn't remember where he read it!
So I stopped going in circles and went straight to the point.
Close your eyes, shake your palms together a few times, then open them cautiously, and the copper plate rolls down.
Yun Qi opened his eyes, looked down at the copper plates on the table, and stretched out his fingers: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Who told me where the other two went?
By turning around, Yun Qi glanced at one of the stone benches out of the corner of his eye, but couldn't find the other one. He quietly glanced at Mr. Wu, turned half a circle, blocked Mr. Wu's gaze with his body, and moved The copper plates were tapped one by one and put away.
Lord Wu asked: "Have you figured it out?"
Yun Dian started: "I figured it out."
Returning the jade pendant and the copper plate to him, said: "Please ask Mr. Wu to return this jade pendant to the emperor."
Master Wu chuckled and said, "Sorry, I don't know His Majesty's whereabouts this time either."
There is no lack of complacency in the tone.
You used Qin Yi yesterday, but you still want to use me today?
It's a pity, His Majesty is a master of chess, and he didn't even tell me his whereabouts.
Yun Qi said: "It doesn't matter, I have already figured it out. Where was His Majesty yesterday, he is still there today. Lord Wu, I am still busy teaching Xiaopangdun how to ride a horse, so please help me run around!"
He said again: "If you don't want to, you can let Qing Yi go."
The emperor only said to let him find him, but he didn't say that he had to go in person.
In this cold day, and it was about to snow again, he didn't want to hang out on the street for three hours.
National teacher or something, whoever loves to do it, he will put a rope around his neck when he is crazy!
God knows where the emperor was yesterday.
God knows where the emperor is today.
He waved his hand chicly, and went to find his fat man.
Looking at the young man's back, Master Wu took half a step back, bent down to pick up the copper plate he "accidentally" stepped on just now, and then looked at Yun Qi who had walked away: Can this also be calculated?Don't be kidding, are you?
He thought for a while, put this copper plate together with the eight just now, and put it in his purse.
Anyway, regardless of whether it is accurate or not, he must tell the truth to our emperor: Master Yun is very cautious today, and he made a hexagram!
Otherwise, if he continues to play like this, his old bones can't stand the toss!
As for the lack of copper plates or something, hehe - he didn't see it.
……
In Cheng'en Gong Mansion, Gu Yaoqin sat on the soft bed, staring out the window with dull eyes.
In the past two days, she had too many closed doors. In the end, Cheng Engong Gu Chong felt that she was ashamed and took back the sign that she was leaving the house. go.
Gu Yaoqin sneered, thinking that she would live a new life. With her management from a young age, she carefully cultivated her relationship with her grandfather, grandmother, and father. The family used her to marry and curry favor with the rich and powerful, so that she got off to a terrible start.
But in fact, what's the difference?
When it is useful, it is loved in every possible way, like a jewel in the palm of your hand.
When it's useless, throw it away like a pair of shoes, and even look at it and feel upset.
The old lady still thinks about her, but in this mansion, who will listen to her words?
And those people outside, who took so many benefits from her on weekdays, turned against her ruthlessly just because of a trivial matter!
Only now did she really realize that everything she had worked so hard for over ten years was like a castle in the air. It looked beautiful, but it didn't have the slightest foundation, and couldn't stand any wind and rain at all.
Originally thought that the Duke's Mansion would be her pillar, but now she finally understands that these people are the most disgusting robbers!
Just because her surname is Gu, and because they are her so-called family members, everything about her belongs to them as a matter of course, and they steal it for themselves with peace of mind, without even a word of thanks, and instead treat her, the master, as a beggar. Treat it as garbage!
it is good!
You are very good!
Do you think that this is the end for me, Gu Yaoqin?
She got up suddenly, startled Fleeting who was doing needlework beside her, hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss!"
Gu Yaoqin said: "Go and call Chi Su!"
Seeing Liu Nian standing still, Gu Yaoqin looked over coldly, and when she saw the tears on her face, she was startled, her hands and feet were cold: she is... gone.
Gu Yaoqin froze, gritted her teeth and said: "Liu Nian, don't cry, don't worry, Chi Su will never die in vain! I will definitely make those people pay the price!"
Fleeting Year wiped away his tears, and hummed softly.
Gu Yaoqin said: "Go outside now and quietly find a blacksmith for me to come in."
Fleeting Time: "But miss, even if I find the blacksmith, I can't bring him in!"
Only then did Gu Yaoqin remember that all the "privileges" she had in the past had been wiped out.
A little impatiently said: "Then you go to the blacksmith shop and help me make something."
Walking to the front of the case, I drew two strokes with a charcoal pencil, but stopped abruptly: No!This thing is too important to be left in the hands of others!
This was originally a political bargaining chip she had prepared for her future husband. This small, simple thing might even push him to the position of prince in one fell swoop. One can imagine its importance.
If she hadn't been able to take it out immediately in her hand at this moment, and it had a shocking effect, which could make her turn over in one fell swoop, it was the only thing, she would definitely be reluctant to take it out now.
This thing is the most important bargaining chip in her hand, with ulterior motives, she must not let it pass through the hands of others!
He said decisively: "Liu Nian, go and get a set of your clothes!"
Fleeting Nian said in amazement: "Miss!"
Gu Yaoqin said coldly: "Go!"
Liu Nian responded in a low voice, put down the needle and thread in his hand, walked out, looked at Gu Yaoqin before going out, and then bowed his head and left.
She followed Gu Yaoqin from childhood, her master treated his servants very well and never beat, scolded or humiliated her.
Especially for these close-fitting girls, their food and clothing costs are even better than those of decent families outside. For such a master, even if she dies, she is willing to die.
It's just that Chisu's death made her feel a little chilly.
Regarding the soap, the master's fault was that he didn't tell those people in advance that there was lard in the soap. In her opinion, this was just a trivial matter, and it would fade away after a while.
But in order to cover up this mistake, the master pushed Chisu out, saying that she had betrayed the master.
It's nothing, Chi Su is willing to take the blame for the Master, and if it is her, she is also willing.
Chi Su was severely beaten, and he wanted to sell it without any complaints.
The master personally boiled the medicine for Chisu and sent it to Chisu, and told Chisu that she had already made arrangements to buy her outside, let her recover from her injuries, and take her to her side after a while.
Chi Su was moved to tears.
After the master left, Liu Nian applied medicine to Chisu, and Chisu pulled her and said a lot, saying that she did not regret it.
She didn't understand at the time, so she smiled and comforted her, saying that whether she was inside or outside, she was doing the same thing for the young lady, and she would go out to see her soon, so she shouldn't be too sad.
But that night, Chi Su died.
Her master cried like a tearful man, asking why Chisu was so stupid and why he couldn't figure it out.
It dawned on her, oh, it turns out that Chisu committed suicide.
But when I dreamed back at midnight, thinking of Chisu's words "no regrets", I suddenly felt cold all over.
When Liu Nian returned to the room with a set of clothes that she hadn't worn, she found Gu Yaoqin sitting in front of the dressing table, almost unrecognizable to her.
The snow-white skin became rough and dull, the eyebrows were scattered, the eyes seemed to be smaller, and the lips no longer had the charm of the past.
If the previous Gu Yaoqin was a stunning beauty, the current Gu Yaoqin can only barely be considered delicate.
Fleeting Nian breathed a sigh of relief: Miss, if she goes out like this, no one will recognize her, right?
Gu Yaoqin moved quickly, with the help of Liu Nian, she quickly changed into her dress, and said: "Go and send the little girl outside, then put on my clothes and pretend to sleep on the bed."
After a cold smile, he said lightly: "Don't worry about Liu Nian, when I come back, they will come again, kneeling on the ground and begging me!"
