"The Dai Hou closed his doors and did not see guests, and devoted himself to drawing a picture of thousands of blessings for the emperor."
As several guests were turned away, the news that Daihou was retreating into seclusion and no longer receiving visitors was also spread in the capital.
"The Marquis of Dai said that you should retreat to observe calligraphy and painting so that you can paint a picture of thousands of blessings for me?" The emperor was stunned for a moment after receiving the news, and then he realized, dropped the ink pen, couldn't help but get up, walked back and forth in the palace, turned around and asked again:
"really?"
"Your Majesty, that's it." Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyebrows and said the information he had obtained again.
"Not only do you not visit outsiders, you don't even meet the guests? What do you think? Have I really misunderstood?"
The emperor sat down, still with a hint of disbelief.
Once my princes were granted titles and opened palaces, they would communicate with each other everywhere. Even the newly crowned King of Lu was not willing to be lonely.
Does Daihou really have no ambition?
But Su Ziji has indeed stopped seeing visitors. At this time of the year, not only many foreign officials come to Beijing to report on their work, but also many officials gather in the capital, and even more dignitaries returning to the capital gather. It can be said that many cultural conferences choose to stay in Leng
When the sky opens, people gather together.
As for the wandering wanderers, as long as their parents are still alive at home, they will rush home when the New Year is coming. It is the easiest time to make friends with the powerful people in the capital, and they have the most reason to make friends. During the New Year, close contact is nothing.
thing.
At this time, Su Ziji actually went into seclusion and stopped seeing visitors?
"Keep staring, and really go into seclusion to draw a picture of a thousand blessings for me..." At this point, the emperor also hesitated. If this were the case, wouldn't this chess piece be wasted?
To be honest, the emperor would never allow it to be abandoned even if the clan members were registered. He also didn't want the Daihou to be won over by one of his sons.
After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "For now, that's it."
This is an observation.
Eunuch Zhao raised his head and glanced. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he naturally knew that the emperor must be in a bit of trouble at this time. Thinking of the joy shown by Daihou when he received the calligraphy and paintings, he sighed secretly and said yes.
Daihou Mansion
Since Su Ziji announced that he would not see outsiders in seclusion, he has been taking it easy. He is either playing chess with Ye Buhui or teasing foxes. But most of his time has been spent on drawing the Thousand Blessings.
He has no shortage of talents, but this gift does need to be carefully prepared so that no one will take advantage of it.
"The gap between level 18 and before is too big, the Thousand Blessings picture needs to be redrawn."
"It's hard work to draw a hundred blessings every day."
"Your Majesty, people from the Duan Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion have been in contact many times, and I have cleverly made the people from the Imperial City Department notice these two people."
That morning, Su Ziji was still drawing the word "Fu" in the study. The Taoist arrived, bowed solemnly, and smiled: "As for Duan Qin, who you asked me to check, I also found out some clues."
"This Qin horoscope is really special. Guess what? It's a rare full Yin fate!"
"Full Yin life?" Su Ziji was slightly startled when he heard this.
Bazi emphasizes the balance of yin and yang, and the circulation of the five elements. If the ratio of yin and yang in the horoscope is seriously imbalanced, there may be problems. The pattern of all yang and all yin is the most extreme situation.
It is indeed very rare to have a full Yin life. Duan Qin has this kind of life, which makes it difficult for him not to think about what happened in his dream.
"What else?" Su Ziji pondered and asked. Although these horoscopes are rare, they are not uncommon and should not be the whole reason for the specialness.
The wild Taoist added: "I also checked his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, and found that they are all very ordinary people. There is nothing unusual about him. Duan Yanxing was not born. Duan Yanqin is probably still farming at home at this time.
But there is a local legend about his ancestors..."
Mentioning this matter, the wild Taoist couldn't help but laugh: "It is said that his family was married to monsters hundreds of years ago and they are their descendants. Don't you think such rumors are disrespectful?"
"Descendants of monsters?" Su Ziji also looked surprised.
The wild Taoist laughed: "Isn't it? And there are several versions of this story. One of the versions is about falling in love with a fish girl. It is said that his ancestor once ran a boat with someone, and ended up saving a fish in a river.
The fish turned out to be a fish spirit, and soon turned into a beautiful woman to repay his kindness. After going through a lot of hardships, she married him as his wife. The children they gave birth to continued to multiply, and to this generation,
That’s Duan Qin.”
Seeing that the Lord was interested, the wild Taoist also told Su Ziji about similar versions in detail.
In other versions, they are either fox girls, book monsters, or spirits, but in all versions, the wives married by ancestor Duan Qin are monsters.
Su Ziji listened with great interest. Of course he could see that the wild Taoists did not believe this, but he believed at least half of it.
Hundreds of years ago, during the Wei Dynasty, monsters could also live on human territory. It is not surprising that a female monster actually married a human in order to repay a favor and gave birth to children with humans.
Seeing that the lord listened attentively to every story, the wild Taoist thought that the specialness of this period gave the lord some other ideas and might let him go. However, after he finished telling all the stories, he heard that the lord had
He sighed: "Maybe this person really has some background."
What followed was an instruction: "You should proceed according to the original plan."
"...Yes." The wild Taoist agreed, but his head seemed to be filled with paste, and he was very puzzled: "The Lord has given such an order, but Duan Qin still needs to die. What does the Lord think? Could it be that the Lord has given such an order?
Is it just out of curiosity that you asked me to investigate these?"
To be honest, he couldn't guess what his lord was thinking about this matter.
"The Lord is indeed unfathomable."
When the Taoist priests retreated, Su Ziji started to paint the word "Fu" again. He found that he was distracted and needed some inspiration when painting. He no longer felt it, so he stopped wasting time here.
When I walked out of the study, I saw a maid hurriedly coming to the main courtyard. When she saw Su Ziji, she bowed: "Master Hou!"
"What happened?" Su Ziji asked.
"It's Miss Zhou here."
Zhou Yao?
"It turns out A Yao is here!" Ye Buhui came out of the house at this time and heard the report, and immediately smiled.
Because Su Ziji had learned piano skills from Zhou Yao and had nothing to do at this time, he happened to meet him, so he walked out of the main courtyard with Ye Buhui to greet this man who came to pay homage to Daihou after he had been in seclusion without seeing any guests.
Lady's guest.
After all, men and women have different friendships. If the wife who has a good relationship with Ye Buhui is willing to come, the door of the Hou Mansion will be open for them.
When Zhou Yao got off the bullock cart and walked slowly inside, the mysterious voice kept talking to her. But when Su Ziji and Ye Buhui came to pick her up, not only Zhou Yao was slightly startled, but also the mysterious voice that kept chattering.
, was also startled and became quiet.
The sun was shining, and Su Ziji, who was not wearing marquis uniforms or official uniforms, but only wearing a black wooden crown, high-toothed sandals, and big sleeves, came to greet him. Even Zhou Yao found it incredible that they had met each other not long ago, but now they looked so beautiful.
