Kunlun one millet

Chapter 74

Leaving the unfinished Jindingsi, Marquis Anyang took Zhao Mi to the vicinity of the palace city. He looked up and saw a large courtyard, in which there were fabrics of different colors hanging high and fluttering with the wind. Some fabrics were light and thin, as if from the sky. The drooping Nixia.

"This is Yuyi Pavilion." Anyang Hou said, "Madam Zhu Zi is in charge of this place. Don't treat this place as an ordinary dyeing and weaving workshop."

Zhao Mi asked: "The Feather Clothes Pavilion? I have also heard about it. It is said that all the brocades in the middle school come from here. The female cultivators in the middle school are good at weaving, and they can also weave fairy clothes for body protection."

Anyanghou nodded and said: "I brought you here to let Yuyige understand the situation. After all, Jinding Division's future duties may overlap with Yuyige."

When the two came outside the Yuyi Pavilion, a maid immediately welcomed them inside. When they passed through the courtyard, they could occasionally see female cultivators soaring up and dancing gracefully. , very graceful.

It's a pity that before he had time to take a closer look, Zhao Mi was taken to a pavilion near the water. The breeze blowing from the blue lake next to it lifted the plain curtains, and it was faintly visible that there were people talking softly inside.

"Has the Marquis of Anyang arrived?"

A woman's soft voice came from behind the curtain, and the Marquis of Anyang bowed and said, "My junior pays homage to Mrs. Zhu Zi."

Seeing this battle, Zhao Mi hurriedly bowed to salute, and then a nun from the Yuyi Pavilion lifted the curtain and walked out, saying, "Marquis Anyang and this... fellow Taoist, madam, please."

"Excuse me." The Marquis of Anyang respectfully followed closely behind Zhao Mi, and the two went straight into the pavilion.

I saw a woman in plain clothes sitting next to the spinning wheel. She was different from the imaginary elegance and luxury. Mrs. Zhu Zi did not wear makeup, and her hair was full of black hair. There was no extra decoration on her body. When she stepped on the pedal, it drove the spinning wheel to spin rapidly. Like an ordinary weaver girl in the market.

However, from Zhao Mi’s point of view, this Mrs. Zhu Zi’s demeanor was calm, and there was only the slight sound of the spinning wheel spinning in the pavilion, exuding a deep and indescribable artistic conception, which made Zhao Mi’s nervous thoughts involuntarily relieved.

"Sit." Mrs. Zhu Zi said casually, without looking up, someone brought cushions from the side, and then they all backed out.

Mrs. Zhu Zi concentrated on spinning, but the Marquis of Anyang didn't dare to speak until the other party looked up at Zhao Mi and asked, "Is this Zhang Duanjing's student?"

"Yes." Marquis Anyang replied, "His name is Zhao Mi, and he is the only son of Zhao Ziliang and Wu Shuyu."

Mrs. Zhu Zi paused and the spinning wheel stopped. She looked at Zhao Mi and asked, "Why are you coming to Dongsheng Capital this time?"

Zhao Mi did not dare to look up, and replied, "The younger generation is here to pay homage to the birth mother."

"And then?" Mrs. Zhu Zi asked again.

Zhao Mi was a little dazed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I will work in the Jinding Division."

Mrs. Zhu Zi stared at Zhao Mi for a moment, then waved her hand: "Okay, you go down first."

Zhao Mi didn't dare to ask random questions, so he bowed and left the pavilion full of doubts.

"How is it?" After Zhao Mi left, Anyang Hou asked.

Mrs. Zhu Zi turned the spinning wheel again, her tone was a little helpless: "It's the same as Zhang Duanjing, he keeps everything in his heart and refuses to say anything."

Marquis Anyang also laughed: "Zhao Shu's temperament is indeed different from his father's. Ziliang is unassuming and open-minded. Regardless of the status of the other party, he can be enthusiastic about making friends, regardless of gains and losses. So even if he is not talented in cultivation, Throughout his life, he had only the position of Fu Li, and the generation of talents in Huaiyingguan were willing to follow him on the battlefield.

As for Zhao Mi...I can see these days that he also has a flamboyant spirit in his heart, and whenever he encounters something he is proficient in, it will be revealed unconsciously.Perhaps Mr. Zhang didn't want him to repeat the same mistakes, so he suppressed it repeatedly, and suppressed a good seedling so that he was humble and weak. I couldn't stand it anymore. "

"Are you going to ask him to assist the Jinding Division?" Mrs. Zhu Zi asked.

Marquis Anyang nodded: "That's right, he will be in charge of building the talisman soldiers. At the same time, with the help of talisman soldiers, we will unify the mining of spiritual materials and the creation of ritual objects in the country, and we cannot let the Chongxuan Pavilion control it. In addition, Wei Xiuwen also thinks that The Yinghuoshi produced in Xingluo County needs to be taken seriously by the imperial court, and special personnel must be arranged to be responsible for the mining and transshipment of Yinghuoshi, and it must not fall into the control of the Chongxuan Pavilion."

"The lord has selected Luo Xixian." Mrs. Zhu Zi said: "This person is suitable, but he needs to be honed."

"Luo Xixian?" Anyang Hou said, "Zhao Mi told me that he and Luo Xixian used to be close friends, but the two gradually developed a rift in Xingluo County."

"Young man, it's inevitable that these things will happen." Mrs. Zhu Zi fiddled with the silk thread casually.

"Then when will he take office?" Anyang Hou asked.

"I will leave after the marriage is over." Mrs. Zhu Zi added: "The woman is Xin Taicheng's daughter."

Marquis Anyang was a little puzzled: "It's strange, although the Xin family is famous for the Huaxu country, it doesn't seem to be commensurate with the Luo family?"

"The lord of the country intends to cultivate the Luo family, and the Liang family cannot be alone in matters of military affairs." Mrs. Zhu Zi said: "But the marriage partner of the Luo family should not be a well-known and well-known family. .”

The Marquis of Anyang sighed and said, "Liang Tao is in the court and Liang Bao is at the border. It's not easy to do anything. One of them must be killed, otherwise there will be no peace."

"The sharpness of the divine sword has been sharpened, and it only needs a moment to be unsheathed." Mrs. Zhu Zi pressed the silk thread with her hand, and said with a gaze: "The next step is to see how to arrange it."

……

Zhao Shu followed the nuns from the Yuyi Pavilion to the hall in the front yard, where there were piles of brocade fabrics of various colors for the guests to choose from.Buying Yunjin clothes is still secondary, and the Yuyi Pavilion is also a place for them to communicate and exchange news in private.

Zhao Mi was a little nervous, so he found a corner to sit down, he was still not used to such a rich place.Even though I just saw Madam Zhu Zi dressed plainly, but in retrospect, her words and deeds revealed a control over others' minds, forming an undeniable power, without any external decorations at all.Considering her status is comparable to that of the queen mother, this does not seem to be surprising.

Looking at these dignitaries and ladies who came and went, perhaps they were more likely to see Mrs. Zhu Zi. This may be related to the secrets inside and outside the court, and Zhao Mi did not dare to inquire casually.

Zhao Mi inexplicably felt that the experience of these days was a little unreal.Obviously he was a talisman official not long ago, but now he has changed suddenly, he was taken in and protected by the Marquis of Anyang, he lived a life like a duke and aristocrat, and he was even able to meet Mrs. Zhu Zi, these things were unimaginable before.

But Zhao Mi still kept a bit of sobriety, sitting in the corner now, watching this nobleman, his mind seemed to be withdrawn, he vaguely thought that his teacher Zhang Duanjing might have deliberately made this situation his own.

It is impossible for the teacher not to know Anyang Hou, and the subsequent estimates are also within his expectations.But why would the teacher do this?If you want Zhao Mi to work in the Jinding Division, just say a few words, and there is no need to spend so much trouble.

But Zhao Mi thought again, could it be that he thought too much?The teacher cared about himself and sent him to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, which indeed led to a better life.Compared with the previous status as a talisman official, if he can make a difference in the newly established Jinding Division, the future can be said to be bright, maybe the teacher just wants to see this result.

But the more this happened, the more Zhao Mi felt that everything in front of him was illusory and unreal, and all kinds of blessings and opportunities that fell out of thin air did not seem to belong to Zhao Mi.

In other words, it belongs to a person named Zhao Mi with a specific identity, not the real self.

"Brother Zhao?"

When Zhao Mi was still thinking in a daze in the corner, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and raised his eyes, and saw Xin Shunying standing not far away, with a slightly surprised look on his face.

"Junior Brother Zhao, I didn't expect to see you here." Xin Shunying quickly recovered her dignified expression, and Zhao Mi saw that she seemed to be slightly dressed up, with a beautiful appearance.

"I... I was brought to open my eyes." Zhao Mi was vague.

Xin Shunying was about to ask, when a man came over from the side: "Shunying, have you met someone you know?"

The visitor was dressed in soap clothes, with a yellow and red two-color silk sash around his waist, and the hanging sash was embroidered with astrological patterns, and his eyes were shining, which was unusual.

"Father, this is the Zhao Mi I mentioned earlier." Xin Shunying introduced to the soap-clothed man.

Knowing the other party's identity, Zhao Mi hurriedly stood up and bowed to him: "The younger generation pays homage to Xin Taicheng."

Since the Tianxia Dynasty, the Xin family has been watching the stars for the emperor, and calculating the weather. The establishment of the Qintiantai in the Huaxu Kingdom is also following the example of the previous dynasty.

In terms of family background, the Xin family is definitely not comparable to the gang of immortals in the Chongxuan Pavilion, and they have no famous military exploits, but because of their special duties, they belong to the king's servants, and their status is quite special.

"You are Zhao Mi?" Xin Taicheng's eyes were strange, and he stretched his neck to stare at Zhao Mi. Even Xin Shunying felt a little embarrassed, and gently pushed his arm:
"Father, why are you staring at Zhao Xuedi like this?"

Realizing that he was impolite, Xin Taicheng coughed twice: "Officer Zhao Fu has worked hard in Xingluo County. I heard that you personally arranged the prayer ceremony to restrain the rebellious party's sword?"

Zhao Mi replied: "The younger generation just did some insignificant things to make the rituals work, and we still have to rely on the city god Hengbigong and the fairy family's magic weapon in the Chongxuan Pavilion."

Xin Taicheng shook his head and said: "This is not insignificant. Although I also thought of using dharma rituals to resolve the aura of disasters afterwards, it is necessary to arrange mandalas throughout Xingluo County to match the operation of dharma rituals in the mountains and rivers. High attainment."

"Taicheng Xin praised it absurdly. This junior's trick is far from being accomplished." Zhao Mi said, "Speaking of which, this junior was only able to come up with this method after being taught by Senior Sister Xin."

Xin Taicheng looked at his daughter, and Xin Shunying was taken aback for a moment: "My advice? Brother Zhao, are you kidding me?"

Zhao Mi said: "Sister Xin forgot? When you practiced the Chonghui Armillary Sphere, you once taught me how to keep thinking about the stars in the sky. The domain of stars in the sky corresponds to the division of mountains and rivers on the ground. Since the domain of stars can be sacrificed independently, The earth, mountains and rivers can also have a unique pattern.

The place where I set up the mandala rituals in Xingluo County is like the stars in the sky, where energy, energy and aura meet.It's a pity that the time is short, so I can only use the earth vein qi machine alone. If I can refer to the way I activated the enchantment of the Tiegong Temple, and respond to the heavenly star and down to the ground vein, maybe the magic ritual can be effective for a longer time... Well, maybe like this I can't arrange the rituals either. "

When Zhao Mi talked about this ritual ceremony, he felt relaxed physically and mentally, and started to talk for a while.But when he saw Xin Shunying's subtle eyes, he quickly restrained himself, so as not to show off his little knowledge and offend Xin Taicheng, the master of the house.

"Zhao Fuli, you..." Xin Taicheng hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "As far as I know, the Huaiying Hall is not good at scientific rituals and rituals."

"This probably has something to do with my family's knowledge." Zhao Mi replied, "The younger generation's ancestor was the official of the Tianxia Dynasty. I wonder if Xin Taicheng has heard of it?"

"Praise officer?" Xin Taicheng thought about it: "This is not surprising. Almost all contemporary rituals and rituals have been rectified and revised by the Tianxia Dynasty's praise officials. In particular, the Tianxia Dynasty established the system of five capitals. , welcome the five spirits to protect the country."

Zhao Mi didn't answer the words, but he was muttering in his heart, precisely because he had intensively studied scientific rituals and rituals for many years, and he could clearly see their efficacy, and understood that rituals alone were not enough to keep the country alive.

"By the way, since Zhao Fuli is studying in Huaiying Pavilion with you, he should be invited to watch the ceremony." Xin Taicheng said to Xin Shunying.

Xin Shunying was a little hesitant, and Xin Taicheng turned to Zhao Mi and said, "My daughter is going to get married soon, and Zhang Shouzuo will come to witness as a teacher. Why don't Zhao Fuli come with you?"

"Big marriage?" Zhao Mi was startled for a moment, but then he figured it out: "The man is Luo Xixian?"

"Yes." Xin Shunying nodded.

Zhao Shu cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to congratulate Senior Sister Xin first."

Xin Shunying returned the gift with a bow: "Thank you, Brother Zhao, and I hope you will meet a good spouse soon."

At this moment, Anyang Hou came, and when he saw Xin Taicheng, he immediately came forward to say hello, the two exchanged a few words, and the other party learned that Zhao Mi was now living in the Hou's mansion, and he was assisting Anyang Hou in setting up the Jinding Division.

"Junior Brother Zhao is about to make a fortune." While the two elders were talking, Xin Shunying smiled and said, "If such a big event happened, don't tell us fellow students in the hall."

"The incident happened in a hurry, so there's no time to tell." Zhao Mi asked in a low voice, "Did you and Luo Xixian make a marriage contract a long time ago?"

Xin Shunying closed her eyes and replied: "I knew it before I left for Xingluo County. I came to Yuyi Pavilion today to thank Mrs. Zhu Zi."

Zhao Mi asked: "Could it be that your marriage contract is a match made by Mrs. Zhu Zi?"

"Bridging? This is a good word." Xin Shunying nodded and admitted: "The marriage of aristocratic families and nobles is different from ordinary people. It is related to the government and the public, as well as the upper and lower government offices. It is intricate and involved. However, the marriage of two families is regarded as a private matter. It is not good for the sovereign to intervene in person, so Mrs. Zhu Zi will deal with it."

"From this point of view, it is the king's defense against the Chongxuan Hall to check and balance the court." Zhao Mi said in a low voice.

Xin Shunying smiled: "On the contrary, Zhao Xuedi, you are protected by the Marquis of Anyang, and you are working in the newly established Jinding Division. You should also think about your future in-laws."
