The rise of the poor

Chapter 979 Pink Eye Disease

Not long after the hour of the morning, just after the court meal, and at the time when Taoism pays attention to the "dragons in the rain", Emperor Jiajing began the fasting ceremony to pray for the people, and soon the whole Xiyuan was shrouded in incense and fireworks for a long time.

Zhu Ping'an and other courtiers who were seconded to present Qingci were also left in the altar to transcribe Qingci.

Burning incense, transforming talismans, keeping thoughts, chanting mantras, making formulas, knocking teeth, opening chapters, chanting scriptures, praising, lighting candles, Yu steps... a series of cumbersome, solemn and extremely boring rituals lasted until noon.

After the fasting ceremony, Zhu Ping'an was the same as the last time he wrote Qing Ci at the altar, with thirteen writing brushes dipped in gold powder in his sleeves, Shi Shiran stepped down from the altar.This is not because Zhu Ping'an is greedy for money, but mainly because he doesn't want to take advantage of Tao Zhongwen, an old magician.Because after the fasting ceremony, all these gold powder used as ink will belong to Tao Zhongwen.

This old magic stick is too greedy. In the last "keel bone" incident, this old magic stick took away more than 20 taels of silver from Emperor Jiajing on the pretext of performing a ritual of calming the gods at Jianyuan Mountain in Wudang Mountain.

He also often instigated Emperor Jiajing to hold various kinds of Zhaijiao, and every time he held a Zhaijiao, the old god stick made a lot of money.

Zhu Pingan didn't have any affection for Tao Zhongwen, an old magician. On the surface, this old magician looked like a fairy, but in fact he was a disaster for the country and the people, even worse than corrupt officials.Not to mention the expenses of alchemy and Taoism, but the expense of setting up an altar, fasting and sacrificial offerings alone costs seven to eight thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver each time. Be troubled.

If you don't take the gold powder left over from these fasting activities, you can't take it cheap, this old magic stick.

"Hehehe Master Zhu, your ears are still cold in this summer, look at your ears are covered."

After the feast was over, Zhu Pingan returned to Wuyi Hall, and while walking on the road, he heard a sarcastic voice behind him.

Zhu Pingan turned his head, looked back, and then saw Yuan Wei who looked envious and jealous.

Seeing Zhu Ping'an turning his head, Yuan Wei pointed at Zhu Ping'an's ear, with envy, jealousy and sarcasm on his face. The combination of these expressions made Yuan Wei's face a little distorted.

On Zhu Ping's head is the fragrant leaf crown bestowed by Emperor Jiajing in the morning.

The most suitable scene for this fragrant leaf crown is Taoist related activities, such as today's fasting ceremony.If you say that you didn't wear a fragrant leaf crown during the fasting ceremony today, you have made a political mistake.

This is not talk.

A few years ago, senior Xia Yan proved this point with his personal experience.At that time, Xia Yan was still the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Yan Song was only the second assistant. The two were successively bestowed with fragrant leaf crowns by Emperor Jiajing.Xia Yan has always been against Emperor Jiajing's superstitious activities, so after getting this Taoist Fragrant Leaf Crown, Xia Yan never wore it.The difference is that Yan Song not only wears the crown of fragrant leaves during Taoist activities such as Zhaijiao, but every time he meets Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song will wear the crown of fragrant leaves on purpose, wipe it clean, and cover it with light gauze Dust and damage resistant.In contrast, Emperor Jiajing praised Yan Song greatly, but gradually alienated Xia Yan.In the end, Xia Yan fell to the point of being abandoned in the market and executed, while Yan Song won the favor of Emperor Jiajing and became the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Therefore, this fragrant leaf crown Zhu Ping'an must be worn.

However, since the crown of fragrant leaves is green, no man will wear a green hat.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an made a cover for the fragrant leaf crown with black gauze before the feast.

However, because Zhu Ping'an's handwork is not very good, the cover made by Zhu Ping'an was too big. Before going to the feast, Zhu Ping'an deliberately stuffed the extra circle into the hat. The half loop of gauze from the back of the hat fell off.Because the gauze is relatively thin, and the front half circle has been well inside the hat, Zhu Pingan has never noticed that the back half circle of gauze has fallen off, covering most of his ears like ear warmers.

Therefore, Yuan Wei ridiculed Zhu Ping'an's cold ears, ridiculed Zhu Pingan's nondescript wearing a fragrant leaf crown, and ridiculed Zhu Pingan's macaque crown.

After hearing Yuan Wei's ridicule, Zhu Pingan realized that the back half of the hood had fallen off to cover his ears.

"Hehehe, the ears are still cold in the summer, Mr. Zhu is really tsk tsk"

Yuan Wei clicked his tongue twice, pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his head, mocking Zhu Ping'an's macaque in both in and out words.Yuan Wei was extremely envious and jealous of Zhu Ping'an's award of Fragrant Leaf Crown from Emperor Jiajing. Now he can seize the opportunity to ridicule Zhu Ping'an and let out a sigh of relief. Naturally, he will not miss this opportunity.

Nima!

Are you sick? !
Did I provoke you? !
Listening to Yuan Wei's sarcasm that became more sinister and yang, Zhu Pingan had 1 three sutras in his heart, wondering if it should be said or not.

At this time, the courtiers who were returning to Wuyi Hall together stopped in twos and threes, looking at it.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhu, your ears are really cold. Hehehe, coincidence, I know an imperial doctor named Li who specializes in treating."

Seeing people stop and watch, Yuan Wei became even more energetic, and opened his mouth to ridicule Zhu Pingan again.

This time Yuan Wei went a step further and directly recommended an imperial doctor to Zhu Pingan, insinuating that Zhu Pingan was ill.

"Hehe, Mr. Yuan, my ears are not cold, but your eyes are hot?!"

Zhu Pingan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, cupped his hands towards Yuan Wei, and replied lightly.

My ears are not cold, but your eyes are hot.

You pink eye!
Zhu Ping'an's light words directly silenced Yuan Wei. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't make a sound. His face instantly flushed red like a pig's liver, and his ears became red in a flash. up.

This scene is ridiculous. Just now, Yuan Wei complained so many sentences about Zhu Pingan with rich expressions and emotions, but Zhu Pingan just responded with such a sentence, and KO Yuan Wei in an instant.Just like a strong man stretching his teeth and claws, he punched and embroidered his legs, but the other party stretched out a finger and was pressed down.

Who am I, where am I, my face is so hot...

At this moment, Yuan Wei's brain was blank, his face was red, his face was stiff, he was at a loss, he was embarrassed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Ha ha……"

"The ears are not cold, but your eyes are hot...hehe..."

Yuan Wei is really a typical example of being raped if he can't be defeated, the crowd who watched couldn't help laughing when they saw this.

"Since Mr. Yuan knows Li Yuyi, Ping An will recommend a good doctor for Mr. Yuan without further ado. Here, I wish Mr. Yuan a speedy recovery."

Zhu Pingan arched his hands to Yuan Wei, shrugged his shoulders, added something lightly, then turned and left leisurely.

Yuan Wei was left in place to accept the attention of everyone.
