Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 119

[Chapter 86]

Lin Chengyou wore a moon white dragon into the sea pattern Jinbaodi brocade shirt tonight, the sleeves and chest were darkly embedded with dark silver tuft patterns, and the clothes were exquisitely crafted, and there was a sense of radiant brilliance.

He said this and walked through the crowd with a smile, and even the flowers and trees in front of the court dimmed for a moment.

The passing guests stopped to look back, and the ladies in front of the flower shade could not help but look at the side and said: “Thanks to the good appearance of this child, it is rare to see men can suppress such a skillful dress, and this light blue bottom alone is enough to pick people.” “I don’t

know if it was made by the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau or by the embroidery lady of the Chengwang Mansion.”

Madame Du also looked at her eyes from afar: “Ayu, aren’t you worried about the needle pattern of your grandfather’s clothes, lo and behold, as long as you move the pattern to the sleeve, no matter how complicated you are, you are not afraid of hitting the eyes.” Teng Yuyi

was secretly justified.

That time she spent a lot of money in the West Market to buy a piece of Buddha’s head green high-grade material, planning to personally cut a dress for Grandpa, a few days ago, when she came out of the Great Hidden Temple, she asked her aunt for Gui Mi, Gui Mi’s needle was a must, but she was hesitant to make up her mind when choosing the pattern.

Looking at Lin Chengyou’s clothes tonight, she had a lot of ingenuity, but Grandpa would not be as fancy as Lin Chengyou when he wore clothes, and the dark lines on the robe would be reduced at that time.

Lady Du added, “Then again, tonight the Chengwang Mansion is no longer lively, and I heard the old master say that the Qingxuzi Daochang has returned, and although the Chengwang couple did not have time to catch up with their son’s birthday, they were also on their way back to Chang’an.” Du Tinglan wondered

, “Ah Niang, Cheng Wang Shizi is still good to say, the Lord of Azhi County is so small, the King of Cheng and his wife traveled abroad, why not take the Lord of Azhi County with them?” The three of them walked

side by side on the bricks, weeping willows planted on the side of the road, and there were willows blowing on their faces, and Madame Du casually pulled it away: “I heard that Cheng Wang and his wife will take the county lord on a trip every year.” Last year, Xu was the county lord who reached the age of enlightenment and study, and he was afraid of delaying the children’s study before leaving the county lord behind. But no matter what, when Cheng Wang and his wife go out to play, they will always leave a child in Chang’an. Teng Yuyi

already felt strange about this and couldn’t help asking, “Why don’t you bring several children with you?”
Mrs.
Du shook her head: “About the children are still young, and the road is bumpy, I am afraid that the children will take care of it on the road with too much.” Teng Yu

couldn’t help but think of the secrets about the saint that Grandpa had talked about that night.

The sage’s strange illness occurs every three years, and when it occurs, it must be joined by King Cheng, and the family of King Cheng leaves the capital, and even if the saint and the empress do not suspect it, those ministers who know this secret will be in trouble.

Perhaps for this reason, The King and his wife went out to return home, but each time they would leave a child to accompany the saint queen in the palace. Doing so quietly reassures all doubts and not spoiling your children too much.

Since the lord of Azhi County went out to play with his grandmother every year, then the one who stayed in Chang’an in previous years was either Lin Chengyou or his second brother. Now Lin Chengyou can already support the portal alone, so in addition to him, this year he has left one more child in Chang’an.

I also heard Sister A say, “I have heard the name of the head of the Qing Dynasty for a long time, but I don’t know if I can see his old man’s house tonight.”
Madame
Du: “I’m afraid I won’t be able to see it, I heard that The Dao Commander is so lonely and lonely, tonight is so noisy, he may not be willing to show his face when he is noisy–hey, I said Yu’er, you have been looking left and right since you came in, what are you busy looking for?” ”

Oh, find two trail chiefs.” Teng Yuyi replied casually.

Du Tinglan was afraid that his sister had something urgent to do, and he also used his eyes to help find it.

After looking for a while, I didn’t find it, but along the way I met a lot of familiar female relatives. At present, before the banquet began, the ladies of the various provinces either wandered in front of the flowers, or leaned on the painting and whispered and laughed, and I don’t know who mentioned a sentence of “Xiangxiang Academy”, and the ladies in front of the jade hairpin flower bush chatted along the way, saw Madame Du, and invited her to come and talk.

Madame Du nodded to that side, and before leaving, she said to the two children next to her with great affection: “Those ladies are all the female dependents of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, just when I went to ask when the Xiangxiang Academy will start, in some days the school will start, and you sisters just happen to be studying together in the academy.” As

soon as Du Tinglan heard this, he sighed in his heart.

Although the saints and empresses did not limit the grades of students’ fathers as they did in Yunyin Academy at that time, because the academy was relocated and the quota for students was limited, those who wanted to send their daughters to school had recently riveted their ideas.

The competition is so fierce, with Grandpa’s current official position and Grandpa’s stinky temper, the first batch of enrollment quota theory is not her turn, and as a result, she last time in order to help Ayu plot to grab the word “xiangxiang” drawn up by Yu Yandan, she just voted for the empress’s favor, and the empress was the first to write her name.

The list has not yet been announced, but as long as nothing happens, she and her sister Are bound to enter the academy to study, and

Ayu is even more unhappy than she is when she talks about it on the calf car.

She naturally knew why her sister did not want to enter the academy, and the saint and the queen would not forcibly marry, but as long as the name appeared in the list of students, the family affair could no longer be as casual as before.

However, because of the incident like Duan Xiaojun a while ago, Ayu had always hoped that the future affairs would be all up to him.

Everyone knows that the uncle is a strong clan in the southeast of Wei Zhen, and the sister is the only daughter of the uncle, and the people who want to marry the Teng family do not know how many people are in charge of the military power in the hands of the uncle.

If you really give the family affair to the imperial court to point out, even if the uncle carefully screens, I am afraid it is difficult to determine whether the other party is for the sake of profit, or whether he really likes his sister.

The little lady of this world, who wants her own affairs to be mixed with these things?

Fortunately, my sister La Yue has just turned fifteen, and she may not be able to kiss immediately, but her side… Alas…… Du Tinglan’s heart was in a mess, and he took Teng Yuyi’s hand to speak, and someone over there called: “Teng Niangzi, Du Niangzi, come and play here.” It

turned out to be Wu Qi, Zheng Shuangyin and a bunch of other ladies.

The women sat in the flower pavilion and smiled at Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan.

The two of them smiled and returned the salute as they picked up the steps of the pavilion, and the girls’ dresses tonight were extremely poor and magnificent, and their faces were covered with red makeup.

The women couldn’t help but look at Teng Yuyi’s outfit, all of them were the same sarong, but Teng Yuyi’s color matching was different every time.

Wearing a dark green tunic and half an arm on the top, underneath is a light jade tufted flower skirt, one green is so intense to the extreme, the other green is clear to the heart, the light jade skirt is also covered with a cloud-like water color monofilament skirt, and there are large white peonies on the silk.

The dress is already so beautiful, the head is not embellished much, only a small jade bone comb is inserted in each bun, and the jade material specially selected is as clear as water, and it is interesting to the dress.

The maids lifted the Persian white glass bottle on the table and poured a cup of cane syrup for Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan.

Liu Siniang smiled, “We just said that tonight this five-color valerian flower skirt on Li Sanniang’s body is attractive, and when Lady Teng comes, I can’t even take my eyes off.”
Since
Zheng Shuangyin experienced the peach forest to get out of trouble, he had already been different from Teng Du and the two of them, and smiled: “Jiangnan flowers and trees are fresh, embroidery ladies stay in the picturesque scenery every day, of course, there are always ingenuity in needlework and color matching, which is not something that can be exchanged for silver money alone.”

Peng Huayue said, “Speaking of this, Lady Teng, last time everyone said that they would like to ask you for tricks, since everyone is here tonight, it is better to set a day to go to your house and make noise.”

Teng Yuyi smiled and said, “It is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, are you free tomorrow?” ”

The girls laughed: “When you are free, quick, any of you go to ask for a pen and paper, don’t wait for her to repent.” Lady Teng, you are writing a post to us on the case now.

Du Tinglan smiled and asked for ink for his sister, and the next people sent a stack of green gold notes, teng Yuyi pulled his sleeve to catch the pen, only to find that Wu Qi on the other side had been trembling.

Wu Qi is the most cheerful and loves to laugh, such silence is a rare thing, which reminds Teng Yuyi of the incident that Cheng Bo talked about yesterday, Zheng Yanrang, the eldest son of Zheng Shu, and Wu Zhongcheng’s eldest daughter Wu Zhen were originally scheduled to be engaged this month, for this Reason Cheng Bo had prepared a congratulatory gift for the two provinces long ago, how to know that it was just sent out yesterday, and the gift boxes of the two provinces were returned.

Cheng Bo was so frightened that people went to inquire about the reason, only to learn that the two families were clamoring to retire, as to why they wanted to retire, only to say that it was about that Grand Duke Zheng suddenly wanted to repent, and he heard that Zheng Shu was already sick, and Wu Zhongcheng had not even gone to the court, and when the provinces heard about this matter, they all secretly blamed Grand Duke Zheng.

Wu Qi was Wu Qi’s eldest sister, and when something like this happened in the family, Wu Qi was not happy in his heart.

Li Huaigu gently pushed Wu Qi’s arm: “Second Lady.” Wu Qi turned

back to Teng Yuyi apologetically and said, “Ayu, you don’t have to post to me, tomorrow I’m afraid I won’t be available.” Everyone

nodded sympathetically, the martial family is now jumping chickens and dogs, how can Wu Qi have the heart to buy clothes.

Liu Siniang said, “I heard that the academy will open on the twentieth day, do you know who the female masters are?” What kind of homework are taught? Although the

list was not announced, it was almost fixed, which was not a secret among the powerful people in Chang’an, so the table was very calm when it was mentioned.

Zheng Shuangyin said, “I heard that the lessons of the Guozijian are the same, and they are also divided into the Great Classics, the Middle Classics, and the Small Classics.” (Note 1)”

Peng Jinxiu showed a headache expression: “I am most afraid of these sutras and poems, in the past few years, it has been difficult to hide at home, even if you know that Chang’an can’t hide-”

Peng Huayue coughed and interrupted her sister, and by the way, she shook the small fan in her hand and smiled: “When we came just now, it happened that the lord of Azhi County just left the table.” Trance heard the county lord say that he was looking for someone, and he didn’t know who to find? Someone answered

, “Oh, instead of looking for everyone here, the sheriff said he was going to find some benefactor for her brother.” Saying that her brother was eighteen, she had not found any news of the benefactor in all these years, and the county lord said that if she could find this person without her brother, it would be a birthday gift for her brother. Another

person said: “I have also heard about this matter, I heard that when Cheng Wang Shizi almost drowned because of greed, thanks to a little lady to save him, he retrieved a life, these years cheng wangfu has not stopped looking for that person in the open and secret, and now that Cheng Wang Shizi is serving in Dali Temple, it is more convenient to find people on the theory, did not find it before?”
“In fact, every year, a little
lady goes to the Chengwang Mansion to pretend to confess, but what mark that person should have at that time, anyway, the Chengwang Shizi knew it was wrong when he looked at it.”

Wu Qi listened for half a moment, and said with great excitement: “I don’t know what these little ladies think, even if the pretense is successful, a little lady can’t ask for an official or anything, at most she can get some silver money, can she use such a big thought?”

“Well, you didn’t know?”

The audience was intrigued by this statement: “What? The man’s

voice lowered a few points: “Cheng Wang Shizi has not had a fight with a little lady since he was a child, because he has been plagued by poison since he was a child, and the family affair has dragged on until now, which can be called a distant future.” If you think about it, maybe only by claiming to be a benefactor can he have the opportunity to marry Chengwang Shizi, even if Chengwang Shizi does not marry, after all, he is a life-saving benefactor, and he will always look at it differently, and Chengwang Shizi cannot not marry his wife for a lifetime, and if he comes and goes, if that person is willing to marry Chengwang Shizi, in a few years, Chengwang and his wife may let their sons court. Even if it is difficult for the king to be emotional, there is always a life-saving grace in it, and after becoming a parent, the two little ones will not become resentful couples. Everyone

suddenly realized: “Yes, as long as the poison is not understood, Cheng Wang Shizi can’t like others, no wonder there are always people who are willing to claim their identities, if they are going to Become Wang Shizi, this method really works.”

“There is also a saying, how to solve the absolute love of the devil does not even have a clue about the Qing XuanZi Dao Chief, maybe it depends on grace to solve it?” Maybe the poison will be solved as soon as the person appears, but this is all inaccurate. If you think about it, even the Chengwang couple and the Qingxuzi Dao Chief also helped to find it, and it is estimated that this possibility has long been considered.

Teng Yuyi shook his head darkly, lin chengyou in this poison is so easy to understand, in the past life she had never heard which little lady he liked, no, if her dream was true, then he was alone until he was secretly calculated in Yanfang, unless there was any adventure, this hateful poison would surely accompany Lin Chengyou for a lifetime.

Speaking of this, she actually had some sympathy for Lin Chengyou. A person who has never known the taste of love for the rest of his life, think of it as a pity.

Peng Huayue couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Ah Zhi County can find that person.” The

other shook his head: “It is said that the first few days began to work, and the result has not been followed.”

Li Huaigu smiled lightly and put down the cup, owed to everyone, and left the table with the maid, looking like he was going to change clothes.

Teng Yuyi took a sip of tea, and as soon as he raised his eyes, Peng Jinxiu on the opposite side seemed to have accidentally seen someone, his eyes lit up at once, and a touch of red light quickly appeared on his face.

Hey, can I call Peng Jinxiu like this… Sure enough, I saw the King of Chun’an Passing by from the garden, he was wearing a jade crown and wearing a crow-blue brocade robe, and there was a large group of sewing people around him, the King of the County had a calm temperament, and every time he appeared in front of people, he always gave people a sense of alienation, but his demeanor was dashing and his temperament was outstanding.

Teng Yuyi looked back at Peng Jinxiu, but unfortunately, before she could look at it more, Peng Jinxiu was pulled up by Peng Huayue.

Teng Yuyi suddenly felt bored, one hand on the cheek, the other hand bored to play with the white glass cup in his hand, I don’t know how long it took, finally saw Chun Rong and Bi Luo standing outside the pavilion to make her eyes.

This is the whereabouts of the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom.

Teng Yuyi whispered to Du Tinglan that he wanted to change his clothes, and went straight out of the pavilion, and when he reached the place where there were few people, he whispered: “What? Did the stuff arrive?

Chun Rong wiped his sweat and said, “Duan Fu said that the two xiao dao chiefs had been accompanying the QingXuzi Dao Chief in the backyard tonight, and Duan Fu was afraid of disturbing the Dao Chief, so he did not dare to come closer, and later he heard the Qing Xuanzi Dao Chief instructing the Xiao Dao Chief to go to the Zhi Xuan Pavilion to get something, and he was busy letting the maid come back and ask the lady, if the Xiao Dao Chief went to the Zhi Xuan Pavilion, would he go over and stop them.” ”

Stop, stop.” Teng Yuyi said.

She had wanted to send the Purple Jade Saddle to qingyun temple yesterday, but she didn’t expect that yesterday the Absolute Saint and Renunciation Wisdom had come to the Chengwang Mansion, and later, although she had brought them a message in advance, she had never had the opportunity to meet them, and tonight, she did not hand this thing over to the steward of the Chengwang Mansion, but always let Duan Fu hold it.

She didn’t want such a good thing to fall into ashes in the treasury of the Chengwang Mansion, and she would never be at ease if she didn’t personally hand over this saddle to the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom.

Besides, Xiao Ya’s words yesterday made her very uneasy, the formation of the saint’s birth mother Hui Fei and Yi Fei exchanging life forms was presided over by the Qing Xuan Zi Dao Chief, and since the Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi were disciples of Qingyun Guan, maybe they would know what was going on with the technique of “borrowing life”.

Tonight, by the opportunity to meet with the two of them, she would inquire about it anyway.

Chunrong went to inform Duanfu according to Teng Yuyi’s instructions, and after a while Duanfu came, Teng Yuyi asked Chunrong to go back to explain his whereabouts to his cousin, and he took Duanfu and Biluo to Zhixu Pavilion.

The chengwang mansion is very large, the mansion occupies almost half of the square, the garden is divided into the east garden and the west garden, and the Zhixu Pavilion is located in the northeast of the west garden.

The East Garden is full of guests, but the West Garden is a lot more secluded, the more you go in, the fewer people go, bypassing the peony bushes, and turning over a rockery that is more than a foot high, finally arriving at the ZhiXu Pavilion, but I did not see the shadow of the Absolute Saint and the Abandonment of Wisdom.

Duan Fu said, “When the old slave left, the chief of the trail was busy washing the feet of the old chief of the road, and it was estimated that it would take a while to come out.”

Teng Yuyi looked at the moonlight in surprise, and at the beginning of the time, the Dao Commander and his old man rested early enough.

“Then wait, and as soon as the trail chief shows up, he will stop them.” Teng Yu looked at the lotus pond under the void pavilion, and then looked at the Shou Jing Xuan opposite. To the void, to the quiet… The name of this place is probably the name of the Qingxuzi Daochang. It was so secluded that there was no one around.

After waiting for a while to see the absolute saint and abandon the wisdom, she simply looked down at a pool of red lotuses under the moonlight, and before long, she turned her head to look around, and accidentally found that there were several peonies planted next to the door of the moon cave on the side of the pool, and the flower buds were more two-colored, more beautiful than the peonies next to them.

Teng Yuyi was in love, walked to the door of the moon cave to watch carefully, bent down and just touched one of them, just listened to the footsteps behind the door of the moon cave, Teng Yuyi was defensive, hurriedly retreated to the side, Duan Fu’s body was as fast as a ghost, and he was protected in front of Teng Yuyi in an instant.

When the man came out from behind the moon cave door, Teng Yuyi’s master and servant were all stunned, this man had long eyebrows and a calm temperament, it was the king of Chun’an County.

Chun’an Junwang was waiting for someone, heard the footsteps before coming out, accidentally saw Teng Yuyi, and was also a little surprised.

Looking at Teng Yuyi twice, and then looking at the servant behind her, slowly suppressing the color of doubt in her eyes, Chong Teng Yuyi nodded, striding over Teng Yuyi’s body, it seemed that he had touched something under his feet, suddenly stopped, looked down, at first did not make a sound, after taking two steps, found that Teng Yuyi’s master and servant did not pay attention to his feet, had to go back to pick up the thing, handed it to Teng Yuyi, and said in a warm voice: “You dropped something.”

Teng Yuyi looked at it, it was actually a small sachet tied to her own silk tapestry, strange, she would never lose these intimate things outside, maybe she just took precautions, so she didn’t notice it in time.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” She owes herself and lets Bi Luo take it from the King of Chun’an County.

King Chun’an Looked at Teng Yuyi, as if he had some doubts, and finally only nodded his head and left with his negative hand.

Bi Luo blushed and patted his chest: “His Highness the King of the County is really careful enough, before Xu was to avoid suspicion, and did not mean to help us pick it up, until we did not pay attention to the loss of things, only to turn around and pick it up and hand it over.” Teng Yuyi only wondered

that the King of Chun’an County would appear here alone, but why did she not show her face even more holy and abandon her wisdom, even if qing xuanzi and his old man had not washed his feet for a year, he did not have to wash it for so long, he was thinking about it, he heard footsteps behind him, it was the sound of boots, it seemed to be a man.

Looking back, it was Lin Chengyou who was behind.

“Shizi?” Teng Yuyi was greatly surprised, did not wait for the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom, actually waited for Lin Chengyou, and then thought happily, this is not bad, she can directly give the purple jade saddle to Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi, and then looked at the quiet surroundings, his face was still that cynical look, but his mood was already terrible, tonight he was both a birthday star and the master of the ChengWang Palace, originally trapped in the seat and could not be born, if he did not listen to Kuan Nu said that Duan Fu was here, he would not think of trying to come out.

I saw Teng Yuyi as I wished, but I also saw the imperial uncle who was with her by the way, this place is so secluded, and it is not tonight’s hospitality, if you don’t want to meet in private, who will come to this place.

Thinking back to yesterday, when he left the Junwang Mansion, he stole the brocade box by hand, put the two brocade boxes together for comparison, and unfortunately found that all the details matched one by one.

He couldn’t lie to himself that he wasn’t in the same box, and he couldn’t convince himself that there would be such a coincidence in the world.

Since he had already confirmed that the box of pear blossom cakes was sent by Teng Yuyi, and tonight he bumped into Teng Yuyi and The Emperor here, maybe he should now say hello and leave?

However, he did not believe in evil, and as soon as his footsteps moved, the ghost made the gods send them towards Teng Yuyi.

The author has something to say: the Tang Dynasty divided the Confucian classics into canon and concurrent scripture.

There are nine canons: the Book of Rites and the Zuo Zhuan are the Great Classics, the Mao Poems, the Zhou Li, and the Rites are the Middle Classics, and the Zhou Yi, The Shang Shu, the Ram, and the Grain (Gu, Sansheng, the General Name for Grain Crops) Liang are the Small Classics.

The so-called Concurrent Scripture refers to the “Filial Piety Sutra” and the “Analects”.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many kinds of doors, just take the Ming Classic, when taking the Ming Classic, when taking the exam, the above large and small sutras would be taken one each, or two Middle Classics.

For details of the above content on the imperial examination, please refer to Mr. Fu Xuanqun’s “Tang Dynasty Imperial Examination and Literature”.
