When the Blue Fairy wakes up. found that he was already in his room, and the disciples and grandchildren were in a circle, looking at him with concern.

As soon as he woke up, the disciples and grandchildren rushed to express their joy and said, "Thank God, thank you Taishang Laojun, you are all right." ”

Lan Dao thought about it vigorously, as if he was visiting the alchemy, and then there was an explosion, as if the emperor was also among them, and couldn't help but be frightened and said: "Oh, my mother is here, the emperor is okay with his old man, right?" ”

"Look at what you said, the Holy Lord is blessed with the sky, there is a vajra body, how can there be anything," a shrill voice sounded, and everyone quickly dodged into the air, only to see the great eunuch Chen Hong appear in front of the bed.

Lan Daoxing's face turned pale and said, "Father-in-law Chen, you're not always here to grab me, right?" ”

"Catch you?" Chen Hong smiled and said slowly: "The national teacher is really good at joking, just borrowing the courage of the miscellaneous family." I don't dare. Saying that, he arched his hand with a smile and said: "Congratulations to the Blue Immortal, congratulations to the Blue Immortal, Your Majesty's Jindan Dacheng, you have made great contributions, Your Majesty will definitely have a reward!" ”

"What? Jindan is a big success? Lan Daoxing glared and said, "How can I remember to explode?" ”

"It's a blast." The man on the side said: "Two were stoned to death on the spot, and several were injured...... You can find it from the ruins, good fellow, more than a hundred golden elixirs! ”

"I'm Di Niang, this Quanzhen Sect is really bloody, and I don't even care about my life." Lan Daoxing couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't sigh first," Chen Hong said: "Let's see if you can go, Your Majesty is in a hurry to see you." ”

"I'll try." Lan Daoxing stood up strongly, and then he heard a crackle all over his body, quickly held it left and right, slowly walked two steps to the ground, and found that except for some limping, there was nothing serious, so he said; "Let's go, let's see the emperor."

In the Yuxi Palace, Emperor Jiajing was sitting on a futon to breathe, and Li Fang knelt behind him, carefully put down his burnt hair with a razor, and put it on a small plate held by the eunuch on the side. He also said distressedly: "Master, we can't play this in the future, it's too dangerous, you can see that your dragon face is damaged." ”

When he said this, Jiajing felt the shallow wound on his cheek. There was a hot pain, but he didn't care at all, but said with excitement on his face: "It's worth it, it's really worth it, this time I can refine the golden pill, I can finally expect it, what is it to suffer a little?!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was so interested, Li Fang couldn't spoil his own fun, and said with a smile: "Yes, this time the elixir is not as good as usual, it was all red and green before, but it is not as golden as this time." ”

"Jindan Jindan, how can you call Jindan if it is not golden?" Jiajing stretched out his hand to open the cloisonné jar beside him, and saw a few yellow-orange pills lying quietly inside, he looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful......"

He was reveling in it here, and Chen Hong's voice came from outside: "Master, the Blue Immortal is here." ”

"Come in, please." Jiajing closed the lid carefully and sat up.

Lan Dao Xing tended to come in, and after the mountain shouted long live, Emperor Jiajing did not let him get up immediately. Instead, he issued an edict: "Yes, the Quanzhen Sect is loyal and supernatural, has great merit, and the joint religion is promoted to protect the country and expound the teachings, and all treatment is the same as that of the Heavenly Master; Feng Zhangmenqiu Jizi is 'Jing Subtle Ji Shou Jing Shentong Zhenren', sacrificing two Taoist masters as 'loyal and dedicated to the country'......" said and glanced at Lan Daoxing and said: "Lan Shenxian bowed very greatly, sealed the young master, gave the python robe jade seal, food double, Yin Yizi is Taichang Temple, Qin Zhi!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen......" Lan Daoxing hurriedly replaced the Quanzhen Sect, and also thanked the emperor for his grace.

After he got up, Jiajing sat down and said to him with emotion: "Thanks to your words, I have today's harvest, and now the road is promising, which is really gratifying." ”

"The emperor has a good reputation." Lan Daoxing hurriedly thanked him, and said with great concern: "I don't know if you have taken the pill?" How does it feel? ”

"Not yet." Jiajing shook his head and said: "According to Qiu Zhenren's meaning, I have to first open the valley 7749 to eliminate impurities in the body, and then I can use the pill to be effective." ”

"Oh......" Lan Daoxing didn't know anything about Dan Dao, so he could only echo a few words casually, and then asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is calling me for?" ”

"Oh, there's one thing, I haven't been able to make up my mind," Jiajing waved his hand, let Lu Fang clear the field, and said lightly: "I have to bother you to ask Zigu God to see how I decide?" ”

Lan Daoxing nodded. Said: "Yes." So he tried to open the altar, and Jiajing also wrote the question there, sealed it in an envelope, and asked Li Fang to hand it to Lan Daoxing.

Lan Daoxing skillfully wrapped the envelope, burned the empty one, and took advantage of the moment when the gods and ghosts were dancing wildly, quietly opened the one he hid and took a look, only to see that there were six big characters on it: 'Ruyi should be close to Yu Wanghu?' Ordinary people don't understand this, but Lan Daoxing is a bowl of rice that pretends to be a god and a ghost, and he has been speculating about Jiajing's words and deeds all day long, but he can guess that this 'Ruyi' is the 'Topaz Ruyi', which refers to his benevolence and silence.

He immediately thought that Xu Wei told him a few days ago that the Hanlin Academy had recommended Shen Mo and another person to give lectures in the Yuwang Mansion, and he remembered that Xu Wei clearly told him at that time that Shen Mo wanted to get this position.

In that case, what else is there to say? He shook his hands like a convulsive, and the pen immediately stood up, and wrote two words on the sand table: 'Great goodness'!

"Great goodness?" Jiajing frowned slightly, and asked slowly, "Why?" ”

'King Yu, filial son, should be taught by the virtuous. Lan Daoxing shook out a line of words.

"Oh......" Jiajing nodded slowly. No more talking.

The next day, Emperor Jiajing's edict went to the Hanlin Academy, and the election of the secretary of the Economic Bureau and the secretary of the Guozi Supervision Department was silent, and he gave a lecture for the Yuwang Mansion, focusing on "Mencius...... Of course, it's an abridged version.

After receiving the edict, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were very happy, they had to congratulate Shen Mo, it was rare for the wine lord to organize a dinner, how could Shen Mo not appreciate it? So after getting off work, he went to Gao Gong's house with Zhang Juzheng.

Gao Gong lived outside the Xizhi Gate. In an ordinary courtyard, there are not many people in the family, except for him and his wife, there are only three or two subordinates, not that he deliberately keeps a low profile, it is really expensive rice in Kyoto, and he has never been in power, just with that little bit of money, and a little reward from King Yu, it is good to be able to feed a family, how can there be money to put on a show?

So he didn't go to a restaurant to invite guests, but set up a family banquet, which was intimate and affordable, and could save money...... In the courtyard, under the tall old locust tree, a large round table is full of Yu dishes carefully cooked by Gao Gong's wife, which is a delicacy from the land of Henan, which makes Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng, two southerners, feel very curious.

Gao Gong changed into casual clothes, pointed to the plates and bowls on the table and introduced: "This is 'fried eight pieces', and our cousins there all sing: 'A chicken chopped eight petals, fragrant, tender and beautiful' is one of them." This eight-petal chicken is a fried eight pieces that have been screaming for more than 200 years. Fried on the outside crispy and tender on the inside, dipped in a little salt and pepper soy sauce, it is very refreshing. "What else is the scallion roasted sea cucumber, the boiled yellow incense tube, the hot and sour mullet egg soup, etc., etc., although the appearance is average, but the taste is very delicious, and the two of them are very happy to eat.

It's just that this Gao Gong has a habit, that is, he doesn't talk about things when he eats, Shen Mo and Zhang Juzheng, seeing that he has been eating and not talking, so he has to accompany him to eat with his head bored. In this way, I felt full after a while, and then I saw that Gao Gong was still eating sweetly there, and he looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly, waiting while drinking soup.

It was a quarter of an hour before Gao Gong raised his head. Seeing that they had already stopped chopsticks, they smiled a little embarrassedly: "Have you eaten well?" ”

"Very good, very good." The two replied with a smile, "I can't eat any more." ”

"That's not going to work," Gao Gong shook his head, "and there's a finale, no matter what, you'll all have to taste it." ”

looked at the dishes on the table, but it only moved for three or four minutes, and he wanted to say 'don't waste it', but Zhang Juzheng was already curious: "What dishes are enough for the finale?" I had to keep my mouth shut.

"Have you ever heard of a sentence that you were born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and died in Beibei?" Gao Gong smiled.

"Of course." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "It is said to be a portrayal of a happy life." "Needless to say, being born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is a paradise on earth. But what does it matter to die in the mountains and happiness? Guy has good feng shui in the mountain, and being buried here can shade future generations, so that future generations of descendants can become great officials and have great income, and it is a place where everyone yearns to bury bones.

"But what does it have to do with food?" Zhang Juzheng was puzzled.

"I have a dragon gate in Henan, and the carp on the Yellow River has to jump the dragon gate once in his life, and if he jumps over, he will be burned by the heavenly fire and turn into a heavenly dragon." Gao Gong said meaningfully: "This mountain is in the downstream of the Dragon Gate, where the carp forage and rest, occasionally practice, in order to keep fit, and make the final preparations for jumping the Dragon Gate." Therefore, the Yellow River carp here are extremely fat and robust, which can be called a must. ”

The two of them were fascinated by the silence, but after thinking about it, they said again: "How can you invite such a long way?" ”

"The fishermen caught it, kept it in the water in a cage, and sent it to the capital for five days and five nights, and the fish were still alive!" Gao Gong sighed and said: "Such a one, it costs two taels of silver, if you didn't come, I wouldn't have bought it." ”

These words aroused the curiosity of the two, and they wanted to watch it, the Yellow River carp that wanted to jump over the dragon gate and failed, Gao Gong readily agreed, and took them to the back kitchen to investigate, and saw that there was a carp in the basin, which was really very long, but the silent eyes were sharp, and found that the scales of its waist and tail had fallen off, and it seemed that it had lost the passion of the river. But naturally he won't be disappointed, and he praised it a few times.

After being seen, this ambitious carp came to the end of its life, and was taken out by Mrs. Gao to disembowel, remove the scales, remove the fishy line, and cook it in the pot.

The three of them obeyed Confucius's instruction to stay away from the kitchen, and at this time it was already dark, and the mosquitoes were also at work, and they could not stay in the patio, so Gao Gong asked the little servant to help move the table into the hall, lit the lamp, and talked with them while drinking.

After a while, Mrs. Gao Gong had already brought the northern carp up, and when she looked silently, it was braised red. Although the braised fish has eaten a lot, Gao's braised fish is still the first time to learn, it is on the back of the fish to scratch the flowers, wrapped in flour and fried with oil, and then thickened, slightly simmered, put on the plate, make a fish jump, as if to die do not forget the great cause of jumping the dragon gate.

Gao Gong lit the fish with chopsticks and said with a smile: "This is the fish leaping dragon gate, what a colorful head." As he spoke, he quietly flicked the plate, and the head of the fish that had been directed at him turned towards silence.

What did you do in your previous life? How can I not know that at this dinner, there is nothing richer than the connotation of fish, Gao Gong obviously wants to use this fish to express something.

A glass of fish head wine is in the stomach, and the official university is approved, and at this time, the two vice principals can only listen to the principal. I only heard Gao Gong smile and said: "Some people say that when you see a person eating fish, you can see his family background...... for the light is great; If the back of the fish is clamped, it means that the family may be a large family, because the most tender meat on the fish is on the back. ”

"Your Excellency." He smiled silently, but said in his heart: "It seems that the leaders of any era are all the same, and there are Yaxing who criticize and talk about 'fish culture', and even people like Gao Gong are not exempt from vulgarity."

Fortunately, Gao Gong's surname was in a hurry, and he didn't like to beat around the bush, so he stretched out his chopsticks and took out the fish eyes and fish lips and said: "But I think that this fish lip and fish lip are the most delicious," and said to the silent bowl and said: "Don't believe it, can you taste it?" ”

Shen Mo was amused in his heart, he had been fighting in the wine field for two lifetimes, how could he not know that the various parts of this fish actually had rich meanings. Generally speaking, the person who has the power to divide the fish is the highest official seat, and he will pluck out the eyes of the fish and present them to the host and guest, which is called 'take a look at it', and the fish bones will be removed and given to another distinguished guest, which is called 'mainstay'. Then, if you assign the mouth of the fish, it is called 'lip and tooth dependence', if you assign the tail of the fish, it is called 'entrusting the important task', if you assign the wings of the fish, it is called 'spread your wings and fly high', and if you assign the belly of the fish, it is called 'pushing the heart and belly'. There are even masters who can find the fish belly with a chopstick. Assign it to the less proud one in the seat, which is called 'there will be blessings'...... Silence is divided into fish, but also too much the authority of fish, he has no lack of malicious speculation, the first to invent this master, must be a greedy eater who loves fish, otherwise how can he send out the offal on the fish with all kinds of nice names, and the best fish meat is kept for himself?

Now seeing the high arch of the fish, Shen Mo not only sighed, the Chinese civilization really has a long history, not comparable to the West, look at it, we carried out activities more than 300 years ago, more than 300 years later, we are still enjoying the continuation of the ...... It's just a fish divider who has changed one stubble after another...... In comparison, those foreign devils are too many to forget their ancestors, where can you still see a little shadow of tradition, it's really sad and contemptible...... Thinking of this, a faint mocking smile couldn't help but hang on his face, Gao Gong sensitively caught a glimpse of the smile on his face, and couldn't help frowning: "What, don't you like to eat?" ”

Shen Mo came back to his senses now, and quickly shook his head and said, "The adults misunderstood, and the subordinates are so happy that they can't help themselves......"

Gao Gong couldn't appreciate the true feeling of silence, and only thought that he understood his hint of 'look high, lips and teeth together', so he smiled with relief.

Zhang Juzheng on the side said with a half-truthful smile: "My lord, this is a new person who has forgotten the old one, and he has patronized Jiangnan, but the lower official bowl is still empty." ”

"Yours are indispensable." Gao Gong took out the fish bones, pinched out the fish belly, and sent it to Zhang Juzheng's bowl and said, "Now you are satisfied." ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Actually, I like to eat fish back." "He is still very satisfied with the hints of 'mainstay' and 'heart-to-heart'.

"Haha, just know how to eat," Gao Gong smiled: "The old horseman's bowl is also empty, why don't you two young people also clip a piece for me?" ”

Shen Moxin said, this is interesting, and it was expressed in both directions, so he took off the shark fin and sent it to the high arch bowl and said, "I wish you to spread your wings and fly high." ”

"Then I'll clip my tail to the adult." Zhang Juzheng said and sent the fishtail to the high arch bowl and said: "I wish you all the best if you have been entrusted with an important task by the Holy Lord, and you will enter the cabinet in the future, support the society, and establish an immortal cause for thousands of years!" ”

Gao Gong knew that they fully understood what they meant, so he said: "I look at the two, both are rare pillars of talent, the big Ming said that the humerus, now the national war is a little settled, but it is full of devastation, a hundred wastes to be revived, it is a good time for my generation of scholars, to make meritorious contributions, to help the world and save the people, I am willing to marry Jin Lan with the two of them, and jointly assist the Ming Lord, to create a great cause!" What a thing! ”

Zhang Juzheng looked at Shen Mo, Shen Mo also looked at him, both of them saw the look of inquiry in each other's eyes, this old boy wants to completely absorb the two of us, what do you think? For Zhang Juzheng, he is Xu Jie's dearest student, and this kind of behavior seems to be a betrayal; As for Shen Mo, he had already made up his mind and followed Zhang Juzheng for a while, so just look at his reaction, if you promise me, I will agree, and if you don't promise, I won't agree.
