Chapter 159 From today on, you and I will no longer live as paper
Situ Yilan did not wear academy spring suit today, but was wearing a crimson arrow outfit. Her face was not covered with powder, and her eyebrows were as beautiful as picturesque. Her mature crimson was actually worn with a strong youthful look. She stood in the morning light and looked at Ning Que, her eyes full of innocent joy without any impurities. Especially after hearing Ning Que's words, the smile in her eyes suddenly became even stronger.
The students of the academy had complicated expressions. They didn't know what they should do at this time or what they should say to dilute the embarrassment and shame in their hearts. More than a dozen recommended students from the military headquarters walked out at some point. They walked to Ning Que and bowed in an extremely formal manner. The leader Chang Zhengming looked at Ning Que's face and said, "We apologize to you." ."
Ning Que looked at them and remained silent.
Chang Zhengming looked at the expression on his face, paused for a moment and explained, "It's not because you won this competition, it's not because you entered the second floor, or it's not because you won the Xiling people on behalf of the academy. I apologize The reason is actually very simple, because I was wrong. I shouldn't doubt your character before I figured out the truth."
Ning Que laughed and said, "We are all from the ranks, so there is no need to make this matter too complicated. Last year you said you would give me a chance to clear my name. Although I refused, I knew you were kind-hearted after all. As for The reason why I refused at that time was actually very simple, because I didn't need to justify myself, and my character was never good."
Chang Zhengming smiled slightly and made way.
Immediately afterwards, several college students came out, as if they wanted to apologize to Ning Que with this trend. Ning Que did not see Xie Chengyun, but he saw Zhong Dajun with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and several others were there. The most dangerous student in the exam storm.
He was unwilling to spend his time on these small things, and he was even more unwilling to let these people downplay their regrets, so he wiped out the past half a year and the story.
He is willing to keep this pressure in his heart, and he knows that this will make these people very unhappy and very uncomfortable.
When he thought of this, he felt very happy and happy.
He bowed to Situ Yilan and Chu Youxian and nodded to Chang Zhengming and the military recommended students. He was too lazy to look at the students in the A-shelf school and walked side by side with Sangsang to the academy.
Zhong Dajun clenched his fists tightly, looking at Ning Que's back walking outside the academy with a look of ugly expression, and shouted unhappily: "Ning Que, if you don't want to accept our apology, I have nothing to say. You have indeed entered the second On the floor, you beat Prince Longqing. You use facts to humiliate our misunderstanding of you, but does the pride of the winner intoxicate you? "
Listening to the sound coming from behind, Ning Que stopped and looked back at Zhong Dajun and the so-called classmates who seemed to want to apologize but actually looked disappointed and unwilling, and said, "First of all, that's not a misunderstanding, not all accusations of being indifferent. All can be explained by misunderstandings. Maybe you can explain this to others before, but this doesn't work for me, and I don't accept it."
"Secondly, you are not worthy of my humiliation. My goal is to enter the second floor. Even Prince Longqing is not my target, let alone you? But since this fact humiliates you, I will be happy to accept this fact. . Finally about pride…"
"Pride is the most precious quality of our Tang people, and I am not proud because I beat Prince Longqing today and entered the second floor. Last year, Chang Zhengming wanted to give me a chance to clear my name, but I refused. I said that it was because I didn't Need, why not? "
In the morning light, Ning Que held Sangsang in his arms, looked proudly at the school classmates with a complicated expression, and said, "Because I have always been very proud, I didn't suddenly become proud at this moment, but at that time You, including you now, don't understand my pride, you don't have enough standards to understand my pride."
After saying this passage about pride, Ning Que did not say a word more and walked directly outside the academy.
The students of the academy looked at his back like a fool carved from wood. Zhong Dajun's face turned red, and his hands were very tight, but he couldn't say a word. Chang Zhengming sighed, Situ Yilan shook her head and smiled bitterly, thinking that since she thought the other party was not at the level and that the other party had fallen into the water, why bother slap the other party in the face before leaving?
Walking out of the gate of the academy, Ning Que saw two people. He greeted Professor Huang He who presided over the second floor ceremony on his right hand. Professor Huang He smiled at him like the silver hidden under his bed, and gently stroked his long beard. Nodding, very comforting. Ning Que did not recognize the dirty old Taoist on the left, but guessed the other party's identity and bowed even more respectfully.
Master Yan Se looked at the clean young man in front of him, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he did not have the wretched meaning of his usual days. He was as kind as an old grandfather who finally held his grandson before his death. He said with emotion: "I guess you already know the final result. If you have free time in the future, follow me to learn some tricks of ghost drawing talismans."
What kind of person is the Divine Talisman in the world? It is really a rare opportunity to learn Talismanship with the other party. Ning Que had known the result of the dispute from Chen Pipi. He could no longer suppress his excitement after listening to Master Yan Se's words. He bowed respectfully and said sincerely: "You can follow the master to learn the Tao of the Tao, It's my honor."
Yan Se sighed, "It looks like you have just entered the second floor of the academy and have not been damaged by the pride and second aura in it. It's not bad."
Ning Que raised his head and looked at the old Taoist who looked really indecent. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but curiosity and asked, "Master Yan Se, I have never known you. I don't know why you are so sure of me. Have the potential to practice the talisman? Speaking of which, I shouldn't have any doubts about being able to practice the talisman with you. I just worry that I will disappoint you in the future."
"Disappointed? Last year, I checked you when I saw the notes you left behind on Hongxiu Zhaoshuizhuer. At that time, I thought you could not practice, so I was extremely disappointed." Yan Se looked at him and said lovingly: "Now you are now If you can practice, or even enter the second floor of the academy, how could I be disappointed? Unless you suddenly forget how to pick up your pen and write. "
After listening to this sentence, Ning Que was stunned for a long time before he remembered that after drinking a bit of a rotten drink in Hongxiuzhao last year, he used to make a little crazy with drunkenness, but the notes didn't seem to be anything special? How could Master Yan Se know that he has the potential to practice talismans with that piece of paper?
Yan Se knew what he was thinking when he looked at his expression. He smiled and said, "A thin account book, Liaoliao digital chicken soup, I can see that you have the potential of a talisman master, but you can't see it yourself. Because you are a student, I am a talisman master."
Ning Que understood this sentence and received teachings.
"I will discuss these leisure gifts in the future. Today, you will go back to the South Gate with me. There are so many talismans. Now you are just a piece of white paper. If you want to draw a holistic image of the world on it, you must start practicing with the simplest writing. , This is a long road, and I have to hurry up."
Hearing Yan Se's orders, Ning Que and Professor Huang He were stunned at the same time and said in unison: "So anxious?"
Master Yan Se suddenly fell silent. The wrinkles on his face were filled with joy and tranquility of finding his successor, and a little unexplained feeling. He glanced at Professor Huang He and turned his head to look at Ning Que quietly. , said slowly, "I'm very old."
Hearing this sentence, Professor Huang He suddenly looked calm, bowed his head slightly, and gave in. Ning Que also heard the sadness, anxiety and anxiety in this sentence. For some reason, he felt a sense of sorrow in his heart and nodded in response.
However, at this moment, a voice that was completely different from that between the scenes appeared in the diagonal sting. Eunuch Lin appeared in the venue at some point and smiled at several people, "Master Yan Se, Ning Que cannot go to the south gate with you today, he must go to the same place with me."
Yan Se was slightly stunned. Looking at the eunuch general manager, he remembered that this person said yesterday that he came to the academy on His Majesty's order not to watch the battle, but to pick up someone. Could it be that the person he wanted to pick up... was Ning lack?
"Even if the palace wants to see him, it's not too late." Yan Se said unhappily: "In order to rob this student, I fought with the academy for a day and a night. I don't know how to explain to my junior brother later. I'll tell you What's the rush? "
That is, the only remaining divine talisman master in the South Gate of Haotian would be so distracted by the requirements in the palace and dare to scold the powerful eunuchs. Eunuch Lin would not be angry, and responded with a smile: " Master Yan has worked hard for this student for half a day, but do you know... Your Majesty has been waiting for him for half a year."
Your Majesty has been waiting for him for half a year, and this sentence directly left the people at the entrance of the academy speechless for a moment.
On the stone floor not far away, the students of the academy were still carrying out their activities after the activities. The young students waved their sleeves and thought that what they did was just a derivative of misunderstandings. They could be forgiven, and should be forgiven. Forgive him, it must be that the other party is not graceful enough. Looking at Ning Que's back, he pointed at his pride, wolfishness, and he was not rude and rude. Now he is so proud. I'll see how many days you can be rampant, and then start again Criticize Chang Zhengming and other military departments for recommending students who should not be inferior and apologize to apologize. We have not apologized yet. Then, wouldn't it seem like we were very disappointed and stressed?
Of course, no student dared to speak sourly about Situ Yilan, the general's mansion, but he was inevitably bet on some sour eyes. Situ Yilan was so angry when she heard these comments, just watching those classmates still secretly caring. Seeing the movement at the entrance of the academy, controlling the volume, she laughed in anger, and shook her head speechless.
At this moment, the entrance of the academy suddenly became quiet. The students could not suppress the curiosity in their hearts and looked over.
...
...
The reason why I was speechless was because I didn't know what Eunuch Lin said, why did the Emperor of Tang wait for Ning Que for half a year? Master Yan Se knew about that matter, and even proved that matter by himself, but he didn't think about going there. Professor Huang He hid in the academy every day and studied hard, and he did not care about the world. Ning Que and Sangsang were covered in confusion when shocked. After looking at each other, Ning Que asked quietly: "Eunuch Lin, I wonder what you mean?"
Eunuch Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "One day last spring, have you been to the Imperial Study?"
Since entering the academy, Ning Que has devoted himself to climbing the tower and practicing. He even forgot that he had the identity of a dark guard of the Tang Dynasty. As for the fact that he had written a piece of characters in the imperial study room, he had long forgotten that he had long forgotten, although at that time That wonderful feeling of venting will still be in my heart, but Eunuch Lin's words were like a flash of lightning that directly awakened all his memories.
Although his expression was still calm, his heart was already shocked and trembling slightly. He thought to himself, could it be that the palace found that he had entered the imperial study without permission, so he decided to sue it? But the meaning of my own words is far-reaching, completely different from the usual ink meaning. How can I confirm that it is myself in the palace? And even if it is a crime, it should be the matter of the guards. How can we make a big shot like Eunuch Lin take action?
In the second thought, Ning Que thought about a lot of things. It was rumored that His Majesty the Emperor is famous for his kindness, and now he has become a disciple of the second floor of the academy, a student of Master Yan Se. I heard that Haotian South Gate also looks down on me very much. You shouldn't be punished by your own head, right? He weighed a lot of problems in a flash and finally said honestly: "That's right."
He tried to calm himself down and be more upright as much as possible, but anyone could hear his voice tensely.
Eunuch Lin touched his smooth jaw, looked at him and laughed, "It's really you, that's great. But this matter is very important. Before entering the palace, I asked His Majesty for a question."
"Please speak for your father-in-law." Ning Que said.
Eunuch Lin looked at his eyes and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty asks you, what is the previous sentence when the flowers bloom on the other side of the sky?"
Ning Que murmured, "The fish leaped at this sea."
"What else can you hesitate? Come and follow the old slave into the palace..."
Eunuch Lin looked at him and said with a smile: "My Ning family."
...
...
Because of the quietness at the entrance of the academy, the students who gathered together also became quiet, listening to the discussions there curiously, but because they were not really listening to each other because they were separated by a distance, they could only hear a few words that occasionally floated over.
"Master Yan Se wants to accept that lucky guy as a student, why are he still doing there? Which royal man in the royal mansion is that father-in-law from? What are they saying? It seems that he is going to a royal mansion?" Some student has a student guessed.
Jin Wucai looked at the royal carriage outside the academy, with a hesitation expression on his face, murmured and repeated the words he heard: "At this time, the sea...the other side of the sky? Your Majesty has been waiting for half a year...What does this mean?"
After she sent breakfast for Xie Chengyun, who stayed in the academy last night, she returned to the entrance of the academy and prepared to go home with Situ Yilan. She did not hear the previous apology and pride, but heard the last conversation.
Suddenly, an incredible emotion surged in her eyes. Looking at Ning Que beside the carriage, her voice trembled slightly and murmured: "Can't that... was the book in the Yu Study written by Ning Que?"
The sound was very small but clearly transmitted into the ears of the students in the academy, and in an instant, there was absolute silence on the inner stone floor.
Everyone knows the book that Jin Wucai said, and the book that he had left in the imperial study room was deeply loved by His Majesty the Emperor. It is said that whenever His Majesty was upset with the state affairs and government affairs, he would go to the imperial study room to read it. The deputy book was in a daze, and what everyone knew more was that His Majesty the Emperor had invited many calligraphy masters to the palace to copy the book, and then selected the best ones to be given to the ministers and bachelors in the court to replace the past. Too many rewards of meaning.
The emperor likes the emperor and the subordinates will follow it. Even in the Tang Empire, where the people are simple, the people are very popular. Your Majesty loves calligraphy, and the empire, especially the scholars and officials, loved calligraphy. Your Majesty loves that calligraphy, so the ministers and scholars naturally don't want to go. , This trend is getting more and more popular, and in the end it turns out to be an interesting thing. Whenever the ministers in the court argue and cannot bear the favor, they will actually write this book to talk about it.
The Grand Secretary said that Your Majesty gave me the first copy, and the Shangshu said that the copy that Your Majesty gave me was the most exquisite and original double-hook copy. How could your copy be compared with the one hanging in my study?
The ministers who saw the flowers blooming on the other side of the sky in the imperial study agreed with His Majesty's appreciation, believing that it was indeed the most charming book in ten years. Even without His Majesty's love and blessing, it is a rare masterpiece. The interesting stories mentioned above are also the calligrapher who has not yet appeared. The book appeared bizarrely in the imperial study, which even cast a mysterious color on the book.
Only mystery can be sacred in the world. The book and the mysterious clerk are getting hotter and more and more curious. Today, the five words "Chang'an" are really appropriate. The students of the academy also talked about this matter with relish. The powerful children of Jin Wucai and Miss Gao had the opportunity to see those copies with their own eyes, but who would have thought...
That person is Ning Que.
...
...
Chen Zixian looked at Ning Que standing next to the royal carriage and suddenly said cowardly: "When I talked about that book last year, I told you that Ning Que opened a small calligraphy and painting shop in Dongcheng, and that post may be He wrote it."
No one answered his words, and there was silence on Shiping, shocked silence, embarrassing and embarrassing silence.
In fact, many students in the Bing House remembered the discussion last year, and remembered how sarcastic they were after Chen Zixian cowardly said such random guesses, and pointed at Lin Ningque's back in the corridor of the rain. , laugh out loud.
But who can still laugh at this moment?
Ning Que, who is regarded as a useless man in his practice and a ill-benevolent villain who is considered to be sick and abandoned the exam, successfully climbed the mountain, surpassing those classmates who did not take him seriously, until he finally defeated the invincible Prince Longqing. This fact is for the students of the academy. It's like a thunder.
The talisman master with a noble status is like a second thunder for his students.
After two thunders, most people were already a little demented. They just rely on their survival instinct to force themselves to grit their teeth and find the last spiritual escape channel and exit for themselves.
At this moment, a third thunder sounded.
Ning Que is the calligrapher who wrote the flower blooming on the other side. He is about to enter the palace to meet the saint. The future he can see is already brighter and farther than that of most people present.
After the third thunder sounded, the students of the academy standing on the stone ping no longer had any reason to continue to be proud, indifferent, innocent, argue, question, and unwilling to accept it. They were directly split into countless silent roots The burnt tree had blue smoke rising from its head, and its clothes turned into black crispy pieces, and its brain had long stopped rotating.
The louder you laughed, the hotter your face was now;
How exaggerated I used to laugh, I wanted to dig a hole in front of me.
How wind and clouds were so ignorant that they had to humiliately unable to control their gaze and look at the royal carriage.
"I once heard Ning Que say a very fresh word."
Situ Yilan suddenly said quietly, "That word is aesthetic fatigue. I have never understood how to judge beauty, and then how to get tired? Today I finally understood the meaning of this sentence. If you are shocked too much, it will be easy to appear. It's numb and boring."
Chu Youxian stood behind her, shook her head and said with a smile, "But I still feel very happy."
Situ Yilan laughed, waved her fist hard, looked at the school classmates around her, and said, "It's really good."
She looked at Zhong Dajun, who was pale and subconsciously turned his face away and did not dare to look back.
She looked at the Yangguan fellow student beside Zhong Dajun and said, "I remember someone once said that if the letter was written by Ning Que, he would be willing to kiss Ning Que's stinky feet."
The student was frightened and retreated repeatedly.
Situ Yilan smiled and asked, "I can ask Ning Que to throw his shoes over. After climbing the mountain road for a day and a night, it should be very smelly."
The student screamed and then fell straight down, and was shocked by this sentence.
...
...
The four horses and horses drove on the straight and spacious streets of Chang'an City from time to time, and the guards shouted, and pedestrians walked away, then looked at the smoke and dust and cursed. The Tang Empire has always paid attention to rules. Although the people of Chang'an City are still not polite to such unruly carriages, even though they clearly saw that they were carriages from the palace.
Ning Que and Sangsang sat in the dim car, making them feel helpless by the luxurious decorations in the car. They looked at each other from time to time and exchanged feelings. If the master and servant have seen big scenes and big money, they are still a little nervous when they get on the royal carriage and formally go to the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
"Don't be nervous, Your Majesty loves the words you wrote." Eunuch Lin said comfortingly as he looked at him.
As soon as he got down the back mountain of the academy, he entered the deep palaces. Ning Que was really hard to wake up for a while. After hesitating for a while, he asked uncertainly: "Father-in-law, you really confirm that Your Majesty likes my word "Caishou". I went to the palace, not because of anything else?"
Eunuch Lin was stunned and said with a smile: "Your flower blooms on the other side of the sky has already made such a big noise in Chang'an City. Could it be that you really don't know it?"
Ning Que finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Besides practicing, I have liked promotion and wealth the most. If I had known that His Majesty the Emperor would like my words and was still searching for the people, I would definitely fall into the trap... No He hugged the most wonderful book I wrote in my life and rushed straight into the imperial city, shouting that it was me, haha, I was afraid that the guards would be called back directly. "
This was really silly and interesting. Eunuch Lin smiled and looked at him with deep meaning and said, "If you could really go straight into the imperial city with a book in your arms, the Yulin Army would definitely not let you in, but the guards would also How could you hit you?"
Ning Que's heart skipped a beat.
Eunuch Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "I went to the palace privately and entered the imperial study room without exploring this matter. Do you think the palace will not investigate this matter, so let Your Majesty see you? I know your identity as a secret guard, and you and the court. The relationship between the little tree."
Ning Que was speechless.
Eunuch Lin sighed and said, "Although Dongcheng is in a difficult situation and the people rarely discuss these things, since you open a calligraphy and painting shop, you should always know the discussions among your peers. I really don't know what you are doing this year."
"I rarely interact with my peers, and as for the past six months... I have been busy studying."
Ning Que thought about the things like the leaves, silver ingots, feet, brush and ink in the old Bizhai, and smiled. Suddenly he remembered something extremely important, immediately curled his smile, and asked Eunuch Lin to go back to Lin 47 Alley to take a bath.
Listening to this request, Eunuch Lin was extremely unhappy and thought to himself that Your Majesty has been waiting for you for half a year. You are not in a hurry to thank you, but you are in a hurry to go home to take a bath. What is this? Could it be that you didn't explain the rules clearly to you before? Before meeting you, the palace will naturally let you wash your bath.
However, for some reason, Ning Que seemed particularly stubborn and firmly demanded that he must return to Alley 47. Eunuch Lin was so quarreled by him that he had no choice. He thought that His Majesty admired this young student so much and was unwilling to be too stiff, so he agreed to his request.
...
...
The spring is the 47 Alley, which is particularly beautiful. Several peach blossoms poked out the walls of the Ministry of Revenue's warehouse and looked at the shop opposite the street curiously.
At dusk yesterday, the national master of the Tang Dynasty, Li Qingshan and others came to Alley 47 in person to examine Ning Que's handwriting. At that time, everyone was entering rudely, and the door of Lao Bizhai was forcibly pushed down, and the scene looked messy.
Ning Que looked at the opening door and thought to himself that a terrible sound, jumped out of the carriage and rushed inside.
The owner of the fake antique shop next to him shouted, "Don't worry, I'll save you nothing, I'll help you see it all night."
Ning Que looked back at the proprietress, feeling that the thick layer of powder on her face became unprecedentedly beautiful. He stepped forward and gave the warmest hug. He said happily: "Aunt Wu, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
The owner of the fake antique shop stood at the door with a teapot, looked at the scene and said unhappy, "Thank you, don't hug me! That's my wife!"
Ning Que laughed and said, "Of course I know it's your wife or your only wife."
The fake antique shop owner smiled proudly, sipped the tea, and said, "Who is right?"
The boss's wife was about to have an attack, but Ning Que stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Wu, I have accepted your favor today. Wu Lao Er will never think of marrying a little wife again in his life. I'll watch for you!"
The boss's wife smiled and said yes.
Wu Laoer said furiously: "Why should you, a little guy, care about my family affairs!"
Ning Que pointed to the royal carriage behind him and asked with a smile: "Can this be in charge?"
Wu Laoer saw the emblem on the bright yellow carriage clearly, and when he thought of his miserable life in the future, he was so scared that he trembled all over.
Walking into the dim old Bizhai, Ning Que did not rush to ask Sangsang to boil water and wash the bath, but first forced the door to close, then stepped on the stool and put the one hanging on the wall as quickly as possible. Several books written by myself were taken down.
He handed the book solemnly to Sangsang and said with a serious expression: "From now on, you will keep any piece of paper I wrote like a big black umbrella."
Sangsang opened his eyes and asked in confusion: "Paper is there, but paper is there and people are dead?"
"This is not paper."
Ning Que gently stroked the book in Sangsang's hand, and said happily: "These are all silver bills."
