Chapter 804: The Era of Little Maritime Navigation III
"Shuaiji, are you going home?"
Because Su Dongpo was seriously ill and needed to be raised, Wu Haogu did not stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for too long, so he took his leave and left. He has now officially received the dispatch of the coastal city ship envoy, so he can be called "Shuaisi". His follower Wu Chengjiu took a few guards to guard the gatehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he saw Wu Haogu coming out, he stepped forward to ask.
"Let's go and draw the immortal view, that's the official family can build a bridge...... "Wu Haogu turned over and got on the horse, "you go and arrange someone to say to the family." ”
"Whoa." Wu Cheng responded for a long time, and immediately sent a personal entourage back to the house to report to Pan Qiaolian.
Wu Hao's ancient painting immortal view is not the one at the beginning. The old painting fairy view was encircled into the city after the westward expansion of Kaifeng Prefecture, and it is also a "golden location", located in the commercial area of the "new district", so it was resold by Guo Jing and Liu Wuji to Wanjiaxing to build a Wandazi Kaifeng store, and it is still under construction. After selling the old painting immortal temple, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji, two Taoist priests who were very favored in front of Zhao Ji, took out some money and bought a piece of land in the northwest of Kaifeng Prefecture, next to a stream connecting the Huiji River (the moat of Kaifeng Mansion), and built a new painting immortal temple, which was given to Guo Jing's sister-in-law Guo Xiaoxiao, that is, a Qing Yi scattered people to take care of.
The area of this newly built painting fairy temple is not large, it is not as good as the original painting fairy view, the location is remote, the incense is of course worse, and there are no pilgrims to come to the door all year round. However, this small Taoist temple has spent a lot of thought and capital, hidden behind the weeping willows by the stream, and it is difficult to find without careful search. The entrance of the Taoist temple is extremely exquisite, although the scene is not large, but there is a pillar and a stone and the courtyard in the temple, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been spent. Wu Haogu, who was accustomed to seeing the luxury of the palace, could see at a glance that this Taoist temple was built by the eunuch at no cost......
The Taoist temple that has spent a lot of money and effort to build is not concerned about incense at all, and the door is closed all year round, which seems to be the place where a wealthy person who is committed to the Tao retreats from the world.
However, when Wu Haogu arrived today, he found that this Taoist temple, which seemed to have never been opened, seemed to have a big business. On the road not far from the Taoist temple, there was a long line of carriages and horses, as well as brightly dressed domestic servants and slaves. Now it is dinner time, these domestic servants and slaves, and there are also wine and meat in the Taoist temple, all gathered in a few small pavilions outside the Taoist temple, eating and drinking with juice.
Wu Haogu didn't pay much attention to them, but rode his horse towards the gate of the Taoist temple - he came to see Guo Xiaoxiao, but Wu Chengjiu suddenly said to Wu Haogu: "Shuaisi, those people seem to be from my eldest brother's mansion." ”
"Your eldest brother," Wu Haogu was stunned, "Isn't that my father?" He turned his head to look, and really found a few familiar looking servants.
"Shuaiji, do you want to ask?"
Wu Haogu nodded: "Go and ask...... It should be my little mother who came here to make incense. ”
Wu Chengzhi is still an official in Pingjiang, busy collecting calligraphy and painting cultural relics and rare treasures in Jiangnan for Zhao Ji, this is a fat shortage! Moreover, the old man also took a few concubines in Jiangnan, and he couldn't miss his life. I came back once three or two months ago, and I came to offer treasure to Zhao Ji, but Wu Haogu was not in Kaifeng Mansion at that time, so I didn't see it. Wu Chengzhi didn't stay long, and left before Wu Haogu returned.
And Feng Erniang is alone in Kaifeng Mansion, which is also quite lonely. However, Wu Haogu has a bad relationship with her, and he doesn't treat her as a mother at all, so he doesn't bother to come to the door to care about others.
I actually met here today, and it was a coincidence. Now that we have encountered it, we still have to do some superficial work.
Wu Cheng answered for a long time and went to ask, and after a while, he ran back, with a strange smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" Wu Haogu looked at him and asked.
Wu Chengjiu smiled and said, "Shuaisi, I congratulate you." ”
"Daoxi?"
"You're going to have more than one brother or sister."
Wu Haogu was stunned and stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's my sister-in-law who is pregnant, and today I came to paint the fairy view to repay my wishes."
"Your sister-in-law......" Wu Haogu's eyes widened, "Feng Erniang!?" She, she's pregnant again? How can it be!? She hasn't had a baby for more than ten years. ”
Wu Chengjiu smiled: "Don't you know? Qing is a scattered person, but she is a fairy girl who can ask for children for others. ”
"Guo Xiaoxiao?" Wu Haogu then remembered that Zhao Ji had told him that Guo Xiaoxiao was proficient in the art of dual cultivation of life or something......
Wu Cheng said for a long time: "Shuai Si doesn't know, this Qing Yi is a little famous in the circle of relatives and nobles in Kaifeng Mansion." ”
"Really?" Wu Haogu was skeptical. Could it be that Guo Xiaoxiao is a gynecologist? No, how old is she? Xiao Daogu, who is in her early 20s, can't reach that level even if she knows a little bit of medical science.
When he was stunned, the main entrance of the Taoist temple creaked open, and two women floated out from the inside, one of them was dressed in Taoist costume, it was Guo Xiaoxiao. There is another one, wearing a white Suzhou embroidered satin dress, with a white back, with a graceful posture and extremely moving. The chest is bulging, faintly revealing a touch of delicate white tenderness, goose egg face, willow eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes, rippling autumn waves, it is Feng Erniang!
Wu Haogu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and saluted, "I've seen Xiaoniang." ”
Feng Erniang was also stunned, her pretty face turned red, and she was suddenly dizzy, but she was at a loss.
Guo Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes on the side turned, taking in Feng Erniang's embarrassment, and started a round with a smile: "Mrs. Wu, it's really a coincidence today, your eldest brother is also here." ”
Feng Erniang asked in a low voice, "When will the eldest brother return to Kaifeng Mansion?" ”
"I came back two days ago," Wu Haogu glanced at Feng Erniang's abdomen and asked, "Little Niang has a body?" ”
"Hmm." Feng Erniang responded, and her face turned even redder.
What does blushing look like? Isn't it just that she is pregnant with her second child...... Wu Haogu felt strange in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously, and arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the little lady." ”
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled at Wu Hao Gu Yanran and said, "Da Lang, you wait for the slave family for a while, and the slave family will come when they go." ”
As he spoke, Guo Xiaoxiao pulled Feng Erniang and walked in the direction where the carriage and horse were.
When I saw Guo Xiaoxiao again, this Dao aunt had already changed out of her Taoist dress and wore a cyan gown, which was a slightly tight-fitting cyan placket jacket, with a tall chest, a slender waist, and a really curvaceous figure. Looking at her face again, she has already painted makeup, her eyebrows are curved, her lips are gorgeous, her big eyes are watery, and the only thing that is a little lacking is that she has a dark complexion, but it is also unique.
This girl has really become a beauty.
But such a good beauty, Zhao Ji didn't want it, so he gave it to himself...... Wu Haogu thought about it for a while, and he already understood a little.
Although Guo Jing met Zhao Ji under his own arrangement, over the years, people have developed independently, not their own people. With the respect of the official family, it is not difficult for Zhao Ji to accept others as confidants.
And this Guo Xiaoxiao seems to be Zhao Ji's henchman.
Insert your henchman next to your pillow...... Hehe, Zhao Ji's imperial skills are good!
Thinking of this, Wu Haogu smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao, I have built a Taoist temple in Jiehe Shang City, which is no worse than the painting immortal temple here, and now there is still a lack of immortal Gu to preside, are you willing to go?" ”
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, showing a charming style, "Tsing Yi can't ask for it." ”
Wu Haogu smiled, "The official family said that you are proficient in the art of yin and yang dual cultivation?" But really? ”
Guo Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and her mouth pouted, "Da Lang, why are you talking nonsense?" At that time, the dual cultivation of life was not the dual cultivation of yin and yang......"
Of course, the dual cultivation of life and the dual cultivation of yin and yang are different, uh, very different! Tonight, Wu Haogu will know. At the same time as he was studying the art of double cultivation, Zhao Ji was wearing a purple Taoist costume and sitting in a clean room in the Royal Dao Viewing Spirit Palace in the Qionglin Palace.
"Your Majesty, Wu Haogu met Feng Erniang in the Painting Immortal Temple!"
Guo Jing Guo Dadao was standing behind Zhao Ji at this time, also dressed in Taoist clothes, and holding a whisk in his hand.
"Got it," Zhao Ji said, "he won't care, it's just a father and concubine." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming," Guo Jing said, "Wu Haogu is only concerned about looking for his sister." ”
Zhao Ji smiled: "Greedy for money and lustful, human nature!" ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is a sister staring at him, and I guarantee that he will not become the second high-ranking man."
If Gao Yu heard this, he would faint from crying.
Zhao Ji sighed, "It's not enough to have a small one...... Moreover, Gao Yu has no second thoughts about me! He was just earnest, and he was a little inconsiderate.
You go and tell Wuji that when he arrives in Lingzhou, he must tell Gao Yu all my intentions, so that he can stay in Lingzhou with peace of mind. No matter how the imperial historians impeach him, I won't believe it. didn't let him come back, just because Kaifeng Mansion really didn't have a place for him. If he comes back and does the Privy Council, he will really become the enemy of the civil officials. ”
"Poor and obedient."
Zhao Ji paused, and then asked: "Guo Jing, you have many friends from the three sects and nine streams, do you know the monks of the Tianfang Sect?" ”
"Yes." Guo Jingdao, "There is a Tianfang Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are many Tianfang monks from Quanzhou living in it recently. ”
"From Quanzhou?" Zhao Ji was stunned, "Why did they come?" ”
Guo Jing replied: "I came to argue for the dialectic." ”
"With whom?"
Guo Jingdao: "Of course, it is to discuss with Confucianism. ”
Zhao Ji asked: "Is it because of "Tianli Theory" and "Positivistic Theory"? ”
Guo Jing smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? In particular, the "Positivistic Theory" simply poked the hornet's nest of all religions, not only the Tianfang Sect monks from Quanzhou came, but also many monks and Taoists from all over the world. ”
"And Confucianism, right?" Zhao Ji said with a smile, "This matter has been reported to me by the Imperial City Division in the morning, but Wu Haogu has unknowingly offended the three sects of Confucianism and Taoism!" ”
