Tang Yi walked towards Ertang with a full stomach, he was 100% sure that the big man he saw was a tortoise, a Galapagos tortoise that could weigh five or six hundred catties! Compared to it, the other turtles are as ridiculous as toys.

No wonder Tan Cong would insist that it was a turtle, after all, before there was modern biology, the strange creatures that were surprisingly large, or albino, and hybridized, would be regarded as the embodiment of the gods and worshipped.

For example, when Zheng He went to the West, he brought back a giraffe, which was regarded as a unicorn by Zhu Laosi. More than ten years ago, Yan Song also presented a five-colored turtle to Jiajing, but unfortunately the turtle died within a few days......

Thinking of Jiajing, Tang Yi's numb head had an idea.

In the legend, the turtle is a sacred object on a par with the dragon and phoenix unicorn. Jiajing's cultivation is immortal, how many years he has not been close to women, he does not eat meat, and he can't stand it if he is an ordinary person, not to mention the respect of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, so Jiajing needs to constantly have auspicious appearances, affirm him, encourage him, reward him, and let him persevere.

Driven by Yan Song, the officials of the Ming Dynasty set off a wave of search for auspiciousness.

Whatever strange things are offered, as long as you please Emperor Jiajing, you may be able to upgrade three levels in a row, which is much cooler than buying lottery tickets.

No matter how the tortoise got it, it seems that Tan Cong had this idea, but why did he look for himself?

Returning to the second hall, Tan Cong smiled and asked, "Okay, what do you think of that turtle?" ”

"This ......" Tang Yi had no obligation to tell Tan Cong that there was an island on the sea, and there were a lot of these things on the island, so he could only pretend to be surprised and sighed: "There are clouds in the Book of Poetry. Come to offer Qichen, turtle ivory, bribe Nanjin', according to the late life, this turtle color is pitch black, vicissitudes of life. It is huge, especially the limbs are like pillars. It does seem to have some similarities with the legendary turtle. If the old parents can get such a sacred object and dedicate it to His Majesty, they will definitely be rewarded heavily, and they will congratulate the old parents in their later life. ”

Tan Cong narrowed his eyes with a smile, stroked his beard and said: "The virtuous nephew is very knowledgeable, the old man has been an official for more than ten years, and he sleeps at night, just asking to report to the emperor." Under the Fu Li Min, such as today's auspicious rui, it is really the sky has eyes, and the old man is ashamed! ”

You know shame!

If you get such a loser's thing, you can be worthy of the emperor and the people, Tang Yi really can't understand Tan Cong's thinking. But it doesn't matter, it's enough for Lord Tan to laugh at himself.

Let's talk about how amazing the turtle is. Then he said how diligent he was and how much he respected the emperor. Filial piety to parents, even when I was a child, I talked about crossing the road to help the old lady.

Hearing Tang Yi feeling sleepy for a while, the two eyelids fought.

Tan Cong may also feel that he is a little excessive, and said with a shy old face: "Xingzhi Xian nephew, such an auspicious old man originally wanted to dedicate it to His Majesty alone. ”

"Oh, yes. In his later life, he looked forward to the promotion of his old parents to knighthood. Tang Yi was not interested at all, he wanted to have 10,000 ways to be promoted, so that he would not go down to this level.

But Tan Cong saw that he didn't care, and his heart suddenly became a little happier in his heart, after all, he was young. I don't know how heavy it is.

"That's right, the virtuous nephew and Ling Zun are the pride of Taicang, how can you forget you if you have good things. The old man hopes that the virtuous nephew can show his literary brilliance and write a "Dedication to the Xuan Turtle Fu" to add glory to the grand event, and when the time comes, His Majesty will reward it, and we will be rewarded together, isn't it a beautiful thing? ”

Tang Yi blinked, he didn't think this was a good thing, Tan Cong didn't care about his age, if he wrote what Lao Shizi's Xuangui Fu, maybe he would be labeled as a lucky villain, and when Jiajing returned to the arms of God, who knows if someone will turn over the old accounts, which makes people have no long-term worries.

It's just that Tan Cong is sincere, and he also took out the head of the case to tempt himself, it's hard to refuse. Tang Yi frowned and kept thinking.

Tan Cong only thought that he had other thoughts, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, as if he had made up his mind.

"That's it, Xingzhi nephew, the old man and you open the skylight to talk brightly, the Xuan Turtle is an unusual thing, if the old man reports it layer by layer, the credit will definitely be divided. The old man knows that you have deep connections and know many people, as long as you can send the turtle directly to His Majesty, the promotion will belong to me, and the treasure will be yours, and the old man will give you another 50,000 taels of silver for dredging expenses, in a word, will you agree? ”

The reason why Tan Cong is so bloody is because he is old, and the biggest dream in his life is to be able to take off the blue robe and put on the big red robe. It's just that he doesn't have a wide range of contacts, and his political achievements are not outstanding, and he has no hope of being promoted by taking the big road, so he can only win by surprise, and the turtle is his biggest guard of honor, so he spares no expense.

Although Tang Yi didn't know the reason, he was still clear about Tan Cong's resoluteness, and he was afraid that if he rejected him, he would immediately turn his face. I really can't offend him, but I don't want to write it, so it's good......

Tang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly smiled: "The old parents misunderstood, and the late students felt that their literary talents were limited, and writing this kind of endowment must be a talented and clever master." ”

"So the virtuous nephew has been chosen?"

"Hmm!" Tang Yi smiled: "Do the old parents know Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang? ”

"What? Can he make a move? "Tan Cong is so happy now, although Tang Yi is famous, but he has only seen his pairs, poems and songs, and I don't know how his articles are, Xu Wei is different, he has long been a famous talent all over the world, if he can make a move, it would be better.

"Virtuous nephew, if you can really talk about Mr. Wenchang, the old man doesn't know how to thank you."

"The old parents are polite, the late life is also the people under your rule, Taicang is becoming more and more prosperous, it is inseparable from the credit of the old parents, and it is the honor of the late life to do things for you." Tang Yi said politely: "It just so happens that Senior Brother Wen is a guest at my house, and he asked him to help with writing." If I go to contact Zhou Shuo, the seventh Taibao of Jinyiwei Jiangnan Thousand Households, take the road of Jinyiwei, and send it directly to His Majesty's hands, what do you think? ”

"Good!" Tan Cong was really overjoyed, and said in his heart that he was not wrong, Tang Yi, this little guy, is really like a legend and a character with hands and eyes.

Tan Cong was excited, pulled Tang Yi to drink, and when he left, he was sent outside, and even said that he wanted to visit in person.

After coming back from the Zhizhou Yamen, Tang Yi went directly to the cross-courtyard where Xu Wei lived, and came to the bedroom, this guy was lying on his back, sleeping soundly without any image, and the saliva under the corners of his mouth flowed into a river.

"Get up!"

screamed and didn't respond, Tang Yi rolled his eyes and shouted suddenly, "It's time to eat!" ”

"Ah, leave me the pig's head!" Before Xu Wei's eyes opened, he screamed.

Pig's head, pig's head, you're almost a pig's head!

Tang Yi said disdainfully: "There is no pig's head, but there is an official uniform, it depends on you whether you want to wear it or not." ”

"Official uniform!" Xu Wei rubbed his eyes, got up from the bed, and asked suspiciously, "What official uniform?" You're going to promote me to be an official? ”

"I'm all white, how can I promote you." Tang Yi didn't hide it, and directly told the matter.

"As long as you write the Xuan Turtle Fu, Your Majesty will remember your name as soon as he is happy? At that time, you will be Jane in the emperor's heart, and it is nothing to be happy to appreciate a six-grade and seven-grade crown belt, and the younger brother will still lead the Jinyi Wei Baihu. ”

"I see."

Xu Wei sat at the head of the bed, clasped his feet, stared at his eyebrows, and said after a while: "According to what you mean, that turtle is not a turtle, but something to add...... What kind of tortoise, if Your Majesty knows, wouldn't I lose my head and do nothing! He shook his head like a rattle.

"Why are you so axial, I know it doesn't mean that Your Majesty knows!"

Xu Wei rolled his eyelids and said disdainfully: "Your Majesty is surrounded by capable people, is there no one who is more clever than you, I don't believe it if I am killed!" ”

Tang Yi was choked all of a sudden, he can't say that he came through time, he is four or five hundred years better than all of you, right?

"Brother Wen, although there are many people around Your Majesty, they don't tell the truth, otherwise the world won't be full of chicken feathers. Besides, you promised to report to me, as long as Tan Cong is satisfied, he can give me a case head. ”

"Are you really okay?"

"Absolutely fine!"

"That's good! I write! ”

Xu Wei gritted his teeth, and finally nodded, Tang Yi suddenly laughed, he believed in Xu Wei ten thousand, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, I must make up for you today, monkey brain, pig brain, duck head, chicken head, and some walnut kernels for you, to ensure that your brain melon seeds are more bright." ”

Pulling Xu Wei to the living room, the chefs moved their knives and spoons, and after a while, the steaming delicacy was served, at this time, the footsteps outside sounded, Zhu came back with a few maids, saw Tang Yi, looked a little weird, and said embarrassedly: "Young master, the slave family is not in good health, you and Mr. Wen Chang can eat lunch." ”

Tang Yi nodded hurriedly, and Zhu left as soon as he slipped away, which one is this singing. Tang Yi secretly called Shen Lin over.

"Go, let me know what's going on?"

"Okay." Not long after, Shen Lin trotted back.

"Young master, that's the case, Madame went to pour incense today, but she met a feudal monk flirting with a young lady, and in anger, Madame moved her hand and beat the monk severely.

Tang Yi suddenly realized, no wonder he was embarrassed, as the mother of a family, she ran outside to act chivalrous and fight unevenly, and she did have a good share, and it would even attract criticism. However, Tang Yi appreciated it very much, she deserved to be a tiger girl with courage!

"Shen Lin, you go and arrange a few dishes, and then send a pot of wine, just say that I am filial."

"Yes!" Shen Lin turned around and left, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he bumped into a person head-on, and the other party was Wang Shimao, only to see that he was panting, angry, and his hair stood up.

When he arrived in front of Tang Yi, he roared angrily: "My sister was bullied, do you care?" ”

"What!" Tang Yi jumped up all of a sudden, and roared angrily: "Which bastard dares to make a move, Lao Tzu chopped him!" ”

"Okay, that's what you want." Wang Shimao gritted his teeth and scolded: "My sister went to incense today, but there was a wild monk, who was stunned by her reincarnation of a goddess and wanted to welcome her back to the godhood." was full of nonsense, and he also moved his hands and feet, but fortunately he met a lady who was uneven, so there was no accident. ”

Tang Yi frowned, and said in his heart: "Why do I sound a little familiar, could it be ......" (to be continued.) )
