I'm an immortal in heaven

Chapter 674

Nanzhou borders Yanzhou in the north and Luzhou, Yangzhou and Hangzhou in the south.

Egrets are flying, green willows are tender and green, smoke waves cover the river, and the music is melodious.

The boat in the painting boat goes up the river, and the rouge enters the water full of tenderness.

Willows, green peaches and safflowers are all over the bank, and I listen to Jiaoyin singing about love.

Outside Egret City in Nanzhou, by the Yanlai Lake, the willow trees are shady and windward, and the peach blossoms are shining brightly.

To the east of Yanlai Lake, surrounded by willow trees and peach trees, there is a Taoist temple called "Qingxia Temple".

In this Qingxia Temple, there are nearly a hundred "female crowns" practicing, attracting bees and butterflies, romantic talents and celebrities from the whole Nanzhou often come here admiringly, gather in Bailu City, and linger in this Qingxia Temple.

Fang Jian rode on the third prince, walking slowly under the willow trees and peach blossoms full of fat and powder, and on the flat and wide road lined with willow trees, from time to time, there were ladies dressed in Taoist robes and dressed in clean clothes waiting on him. Passing by under the service of a maidservant.

And on the road, there are carriages passing by from time to time. Just looking at the decorations of those carriages, one can tell that the people in the carriages are definitely wealthy, powerful and powerful people.

Fang Jian walked for another distance, and finally came to the outside of Qingxia Temple. This Qingxia Temple is extremely beautiful and magnificent, with mountains and rivers on both sides, and gardens full of flowers and fruits.

On both sides of Qingxia Temple, there are two man-made canals flowing through the peach groves. At this time, many talented scholars and celebrities are sitting by the canals, and beside them, each is accompanied by a woman in Taoist robes. crown.

Although those women's crowns were elegantly dressed, the Taoist robes they wore were made of thin silk gauze, revealing the delicate and smooth skin inside.

Although they hold the "Tao Jing" and "Huang Ting" in their hands, their faces are full of dusty smiles.

Those talented scholars and celebrities were playing with Qushui Liushang, and recited poems and poems from time to time, while those female crowns chanted with a smile on their faces. Every time someone made a poem, they applauded and applauded, and then raised their wine glasses to toast.

Fang Jian sighed, glanced at Qingxia Temple in front of him, reined in his horse and turned to leave.

"Smelly girl, you still dare to come? Get lost!"

At this moment, there was a stern shout from behind, Fang Jian turned his head, and saw a male Taoist priest in Taoist robes kicking a seven-year-old girl off the steps at the entrance of Qingxia Temple.

The girl rolled down the more than 30 steps and fell face down on the ground.

Seeing this, Fang Jian immediately got off his horse and walked quickly towards the girl.

But before Fang Jian got close, he saw the girl's two hands with baby fat clasped fists on the ground, and then her arms trembled to prop up her young body.

"Bah." The girl spit out the mud and broken leaves in her mouth, then got up and sat on the ground, her fleshy face was flushed, but she said to the male Taoist priest on the steps: "You let her Return the Kuixing inkstone to me, as long as you return the Kuixing inkstone to me, I will never come again."

The Taoist priest's face changed when he heard the words, and he said: "Hey? You little bastard is still kicking your nose. That Kuixing inkstone was given to Taoist Priest Xuanshang by your unlucky dead ghost father. Your father is already dead. , now Kuixingyan has nothing to do with you."

When the girl heard this, her stomach swelled with anger. She glanced left and right, then grabbed a stone on the ground and threw it at the Taoist priest.

"You liars, my father lied to you, especially that Taoist Xuanshang, she is a prostitute! She deserves to be called a Taoist! Return the Kuixing inkstone to me quickly, it is my father's family heirloom!" The girl scolded angrily.

The Taoist priest's face darkened, he stared at the girl and cursed: "Fuck, I think you are looking for death, today I will let you know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!"

After all, the Taoist priest directly withdrew a cowhide whip as long as an adult's arm from his sleeve, and was about to hit the girl when he came up.

Seeing this, the girl was so frightened that she quickly raised her arms and hugged her head, still saying, "Even if you beat me to death, I will turn into a ghost and ask you for Kuixing inkstone!"

"stop!"

At this moment, a loud shout sounded from the steps behind, the Taoist stopped his movements immediately, and then turned his head to look.

Fang Jian also looked up and saw a tall, thin figure with a delicate and bright face, her hair tied in a crown, wearing a jade gauze Taoist robe, a peerless and independent female crown standing on the steps.

"Daoist Xuanshang!" Seeing the person coming, the Taoist yelled, "Why are you here?"

I saw Taoist Xuanshang coldly glanced at the girl squatting on the ground with her head in her arms, then took out an embroidered pouch from her sleeve and threw it down.

The embroidered pouch, with a strong aroma of rouge, drew an arc in the air, and then landed in front of the girl with a 'snap'.

"There are 100 taels of silver in it, enough for you to spend ten years. You go, don't come again, the Kuixing Inkstone was given to me by your father, and it is no longer a family heirloom of your Mei family." Daoist Xuanshang said coldly .

When the girl saw this Daoist Xuanshang, she was even more angry. She stood up and kicked the embroidered bag away: "Whoever wants you to get dirty money, I want the Kuixing inkstone! Return the Kuixing inkstone! I!"

"Little bastard, don't give shame to me!" The Taoist scolded angrily when he saw that the girl didn't give Xuanshang any face.

"Shut up!" Hearing the Taoist's scolding, it was the Taoist Priest Xuanshang who couldn't hold back his face, and immediately yelled at the Taoist.

The Taoist priest immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help but secretly scolded himself, if this girl is a little bitch, then who is Taoist Priest Xuanshang?Big bitch?
That's right, Taoist Priest Xuanshang is the girl's biological mother. Back then, the girl's father, Mei Qing, was also a son of an official. At that time, Taoist Priest Xuanshang was just a 'famous prostitute' well-known in Nanzhou.

The story is clichéd, Mei Qing, a son of an official, and Xuan Shang, a famous prostitute, fell in love at first sight, and then staged an unforgettable love.

Later, it was also Mei Qing who came forward and funded Xuanshang to organize the "duty certificate", officially changing from a famous prostitute to a female crown officially certified by the Tang Dynasty, and then lived in this Qingxia Temple.

Originally, the next plot was that Xuanshang was washed white, and then a female crown returned to vulgarity, married Mei Qing and went ashore to cling to a wealthy family. At this time, Mei Qing even gave Xuansang her family heirloom 'Kuixing inkstone'.

However, at this moment, the Mei family was in trouble. Mei Qing's father was killed because he was in the wrong team because of the party struggle in the court. The Mei family was ransacked. Money, no power, no future.

At this time, Xuanshang also gave birth to a daughter for Mei Qing, and it was this girl.

When Xuanshang heard about the change in the Mei family, she once considered wanting to continue to follow Mei Qing and be a poor couple.

However, under the persuasion of those "women's crowns" in Qingxia Temple, under the temptation of the prosperity and wealth in front of him, Xuanshang finally abandoned Mei Qing and handed over her daughter to Mei Qing.

With her daughter, Mei Qing came to Qingxia Temple many times to look for Xuanshang, but in the end Xuanshang sent people to beat her out of Qingxia Temple.

After all, if you stay in Qingxia Temple, you still have the hope of clinging to the rich family, but if you follow Mei Qing away, there is no hope at all.

Mei Qing was finally completely desperate, but he still had a daughter, so he began to rely on writing and selling paintings, raising his daughter until she was six years old with difficulty.

However, when his daughter was six years old, Mei Qing finally fell ill after years of exhaustion and depression. Instead of going to the doctor, he gave the remaining 20 taels of silver to his daughter and treated her well. His daughter confessed two regrets in her life:
The first thing is that Mei Qing's parents always want him to take the imperial examination, hoping that he will stand out and not be a second-generation official dude.

The second one, the heirloom of the Mei family was given to Xuanshang by him, but he never got it back.

After talking about these two regrets, Mei Qing died, and she did not rest in peace.

Mei Qing named his daughter 'Mei Xianzhang', which shows how regretful he was for failing to live up to his parents' expectations.

Xiaomei Xianzhang, who was only six years old, buried her father Mei Qing with twelve taels of the 20 taels left by her father, and the remaining twelve taels supported her to live to this day. At the same time, this was the first time since her father died a year ago. Six times I went to Qingxia to discuss and ask for Kuixing inkstone.

One of her father's last wishes was to take back the Kuixing inkstone. Xiaomei Xianzhang didn't understand or know how to take the imperial examination, but she knew what to do to get back the Kuixing inkstone.

Taoist Xuanshang looked at Mei Xianzhang coldly, that kind of gaze was extremely strange and ruthless, as if it was not his own flesh and blood at all.

Seeing that Mei Xianzhang refused to accept his money, Taoist Xuanshang said calmly, "No matter what you think, the Kuixing Inkstone is no longer a family heirloom of your Mei family, so let's go, and don't mess around here again to delay me .”

After finishing speaking, Taoist Priest Xuanshang said to the Taoist priest beside him, "If she doesn't leave after a while, you can take someone to push Mei Qing's tomb away."

"You dare!" Xiaomei Xianzhang roared angrily in a childish voice when she heard that Taoist Xuanshang wanted someone to overturn her father's grave.

Taoist Xuanshang said coldly: "You can mess around here as much as you want, see if I dare."

After finishing speaking, Daoist Xuanshang flicked his sleeves and walked towards Qingxia Temple without looking back.

And Xiaomei Xianzhang looked angrily at the back of Taoist Xuanshang, and after a long time, he lowered his head weakly, his fists clenched and trembling.

In the end, she still glanced unwillingly at the majestic archway and palace gate of Qingxia Temple, didn't dare to make any more noise, turned around and limped away with her head bowed.

"Heh." The Taoist sneered at Xiaomei Xianzhang who was limping away in the end, and thought that Daoist Xuanshang still had a way to deal with this little rascal.

Fang Jian watched all this coldly, seeing Xuanshang's ruthlessness, the Taoist priest's madness, and the little girl's futile efforts. He remained silent all the time.

Seeing the little girl being threatened, Fang Jian led the third prince to quietly follow the little girl after she was full of anger but left helplessly, and followed her all the way out of the smoky Yanlai Lake. .

However, Xiaomei Xianzhang quickly found Fang Jian, but she just turned her head to look at Fang Jian, and then stopped paying attention, but turned her head to look at the road ahead intently.
