Chapter 1400 People who trade things for money
have selfish motives. Luo Cheng also sincerely hopes that his junior sister will find one or two good talents in Mingyue Kingdom and introduce them to the Yulan Sect. In this way, the foundation of Mingyue Kingdom will be more solid.
The people of the Nan Houye clan live and die with the city. Only a few members of the Nan family have descendants in Beijing, so they can preserve the incense inheritance. If the Nan family can have a child who is favored by the younger junior sister, it will be the Nan family's good fortune.
Therefore, Luo Cheng extremely hoped that one of Nan's children would have a deep connection with immortality and be able to gain the eyes of his junior sister.
"When I look at that child, I find it pleasing to the eye. He has a special affinity with me." Le Yun's eyes are full of gentleness. The child looks a bit like her handsome brother. The contours of his face, eyes and nose are the most similar. .
Luo Cheng hopes that one or two people from the Nan family will win the favor of the junior sister. If someone really catches the eye of the junior junior sister, what are you waiting for?
Why leave things that can be solved that day until tomorrow? Luo Cheng looked at the seat where the Nan family was sitting: "Old Mrs. Nan, the little fairy likes a child of the Nan family and intends to appoint him to be a book boy and serve as a calligrapher during the imperial capital. Are you willing to give up?"
The little fairy whispered to the two immortals. Most of the courtiers could not hear it. Only the people from the immortal cultivating family heard what was said. When Master Luo raised his voice to speak to the old lady of the Nan family, the whole hall was silent for an instant.
The emperor of Beiting was very happy. The Marquis of Zhennan had always been loyal to the emperor and the country. The Marquis of Nan was fighting abroad, and the people of his ancestral home died in the city. The Nan family was full of filial piety. This palace banquet was an exception. If there were one or two The younger generation of the Nan family has the chance to see the little fairy, and they can also comfort the ancestors of the Nan family who sacrificed for the empire in the past generations.
Mrs. Nan is the wife of Marquis Nan Quan. She comes from a family of immortal cultivators. She is a perfect monk in the late stage of Qi refining. She is already one hundred and twenty years old. She looks like she is in her eighties. She is neither blind nor deaf. When she hears the sound, Slightly blessed body: "The little fairy loves you so much. The Nan family is extremely honored. The old woman is also extremely happy in her heart. I wonder which child of the Nan family has such a blessing?" "The old lady is wearing brown clothes from the back row to the second table on the right
. The little guy." Luo Cheng pointed out the candidate with a smile in his eyes.
The men and women looked at the seats of the Nan family, looking for the child who would win the favor of the little fairy.
Mrs. Nan turned her head and looked at the second row. She saw someone. The little guy was about seven or eight years old. He had a young man's hair and was cute. Isn't that Nan Zhixian, the great-great-grandson of the family?
Because all the members of the Nan clan in their ancestral homeland were wiped out, the Nan clan in the imperial capital kept filial piety to their clan members and avoided brightly colored clothes. Also, because it was a state banquet, they were not allowed to wear linen clothes. Everyone had a strand of fine linen thread tied to their hairpin or hairpin. , children use hair ropes to tie their hair.
Nan Zhixian had his hair combed like a prince and bound with hemp ropes. His face was fair and clean, and his eyebrows were pretty. Because of his young age, he was well-maintained. He was pink and tender, cute and lively.
The child who was hit by the huge pie was still dazed. He was picked up and stood up by the elders around him. He still didn't react. He blinked at the elders of his family and silently asked for their advice.
When Le Yun saw the child who looked like a handsome brother, she wanted to rub his head, but she had to endure it. She asked with a smile: "Where does the little guy from the Nan family study? Can he read all the enlightenment books?"
Great-grandson Old lady Nan was pleasantly surprised when a child of this generation fell into the fairy's eyes. She happily bowed and reported back: "Back to the little fairy, this little great-great-grandson of the old woman's family is called Nan Zhixian. He is seven years old this year. He has received great favor from the emperor. He and Several brothers studied together with the royal children in the palace school, learned the enlightenment calligraphy, and followed the master to learn about classical poetry and songs." "I know the elegant meaning of the strings, and the name is very nice." Le Yun thought of the allusion between Boya and Zhong Ziqi.
, seeing that Nan's child was becoming more and more fond of him, and not wanting to see him miss his studies because of her, he made a compromise suggestion: "He is in school, so he can't give up halfway. Let's wait for a while. Nan is the little guy." Invite a suitable wife and send them to the Royal Garden together after the new year, so as not to miss the children's studies."
The little fairy was so considerate, fearing that the night would be long and the emperor would have many dreams, the Beiting Emperor immediately answered: "How dare you keep the little fairy waiting for so long? , just send the few masters who will teach the little guy to the garden together after the Double Ninth Festival."
Everyone in the Nan family also wanted to send Nan Zhixian to the little fairy as soon as possible to be nurtured, but because of the little fairy's kindness, they were embarrassed After the change, it would be great if the emperor was willing to send Zhixian's wives to go to the garden together. The old lady led the people to express gratitude.
"That's fine," Le Yun looked at countless longing eyes and gave the emperor face again: "It will be boring for the little guy to study alone in the garden. Why not choose a few children of the same age who are studying with the little guy in the Royal Academy to be with him? Keep me company."
"Thank you, little fairy, for your gift." The Beiting Emperor expressed his joy, and thanked the little fairy for his gift on behalf of the courtiers. There are more than thirty or forty children studying in the same class as Nan Zhixian, and they get along well with Xiao Zhixian. At least there are more than ten of them. If they can all be sent to the little fairy, it will be a great blessing for them.
The courtiers were also extremely grateful. As for the courtiers who did not have children of the same age as Nan Zhixian, they were not dissatisfied even if they regretted it. It was because their family had no opportunity and they had no one to blame.
Le Yun nodded to show her gratitude and refused to say anything more. She had given enough face to the emperors of Mingyue Kingdom and Beiting. If she continued to give them more face, it would easily lead to lack of support.
Luo Cheng didn't ask anyone else in the palace who matched the twelve candidates born in the years of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and pretended to be an immortal and regarded himself as a master.
The little fairy appointed Nan's boy as the boy who served as the ink book boy, but nothing happened. Master Changyun was also quite surprised. Except for the few families chosen by the little fairy, was there really no talent among the others?
The Nan family of Zhennan Hou was extremely proud of Nan Zhixian's fate. The two adults sitting on either side of him hugged him and sat down. They were afraid that he would do something strange if he was too excited and asked him what he usually did. Whose children play well and whose children have the best knowledge are used to divert attention.
The details of the palace banquet have been planned in advance. The palace people served the dishes in an orderly manner. After the cold dishes were served, the hot dishes were served. There were a total of twelve dishes in the first round.
Before the banquet began, Emperor Beiting made a speech, thanking the little fairies and the immortals of the Yulan Sect for making decisions for the people of the Mingyue Kingdom. He also thanked the people of the empire and the courtiers for their united efforts, thanked the heroes who died for the country, and thanked all the aristocratic and immortal families for their hard work during the war. Frequently post your contributions and toast to express your gratitude.
The emperor toasted at the same time when he delivered his speech, and all the court officials of the Beiting family toasted with him at the same time, and the families of various aristocratic families and cultivators received their thanks.
After the speech, a banquet was held, and a group of palace artists entered the palace to perform dances to add to the fun.
For others, the purpose of having a feast is not the wine, but the purpose of having fun with classmates is the food and tasting it with enthusiasm. Due to their different geographical locations and different diets, Mingyue Kingdom and Jinyao Kingdom have different cooking methods for many dishes.
When the human beings started the banquet, Golden Retriever also brought out his own portion and began to eat it in a big way. At the same time, Little Dot always shared the dish with him after tasting it. As Little Dot’s most loyal mount, he could only stay in the food. No taboo, just give me whatever I want to eat.
The courtiers and their families eat politely with other aristocratic families, which is equivalent to eating only a few chopsticks.
After eating the first round of dishes for two quarters of an hour, there were three rounds of singing and dancing, and then the second round of dishes was served. After a quarter of an hour, there were three more rounds of dishes. At the eighth round of dishes, the children of the royal family, aristocratic families, and courtiers appeared on the table. Show talent.
The performers were all young men, women or children, with all kinds of martial arts skills. There was a child who was only four years old and still childish when she accidentally fell down and fell blind. She cried so much that the whole world was broken. .
The child was crying and everyone laughed.
The little guy was so pitiful that the emperor and empress rewarded him with a bunch of snacks, children's toys, bells for his hair, collars, and bracelets for his hands and feet.
The palace attendants rushed up to help the little kid who had fallen down and squatted down. The crying kid turned into a smile when he saw the beautiful jewelry and food.
Having learned from the past experience in Jin Yao Country, Le Xiao doesn’t want to repeat the same mistakes, let alone being tricked into any country he goes to in the future, turning it into an unspoken method that others can use to achieve their goals. He unswervingly adheres to his principles and only Can't tell.
Her lack of comment did not dampen people's enthusiasm. Beiting's Luo family and other aristocratic families and court officials had given instructions to their descendants in advance, and the young people of each family were able to keep their composure.
The palace banquet was in a great atmosphere, with a total of twelve rounds of dishes changing, and it didn't end until midnight.
The court officials respectfully sent the little fairy and the four immortals out of the hall first, and then they dispersed in an orderly manner. The royal family, the immortal cultivating family, and other aristocratic families went first, and then the court officials left the palace in order of rank.
The next day, while the monarchs and ministers of the Mingyue Empire were dealing with ordinary government affairs as usual, they also secretly put the selection of twelve candidates on the agenda. Beiting's Luo family was busy selecting people and arranged for people to go to the gardens to tidy up the palace.
Each immortal cultivating family put the little fairy's commission into practice very calmly. The family elites led people to grind rice in special workshops, and also secretly sent people to various places to purchase grain and other supplies.
Others are busy, but Le classmate is not in a hurry. She had a good sleep after returning to the Immortal Palace from the palace banquet, and the next day she was in high spirits, laying out her belongings and painting with great interest.
At first, Luo Cheng Yuqi Zhuyi and Yu Mowen thought that the junior sister was naughty. When she drew a portrait of a character, they realized that the junior sister was drawing a candidate worthy of careful cultivation at the palace banquet last night.
The four of them sat aside and admired it. The junior sister had not been learning painting for a long time, but she was smart and her painting skills were far from the realm of transcendence and transformation. She had already entered the room. Her paintings were clearly layered, and the facial features and details of the characters were very lifelike and eye-catching. You can identify who it is.
The four senior brothers are all Nascent Soul-level real people with photographic memory. The younger junior sister drew a person, and they were about to identify the person and know where that person sat.
In addition to the three people who were designated at the palace banquet, classmate Le Xiao painted thirteen more pictures, one of whom was a descendant of the Beiting family, and two of whom were descendants of a family that cultivated immortals.
After finishing the painting, she evaluated the potential plastic materials. Leyun handed the painting to Senior Brother Biandi, with special instructions: "Senior Brother, you must tell the emperor in advance that when you go to each house with the portrait to find someone, remember to take the portrait back. Return it to me. My paintings are not for anyone to tell."
Yu Mowen came closer and winked: "Junior sister, what if the family of the owner of the portrait cuts off the beard and keeps the painting?" "Oh,
let them spend money to buy it. , give ten thousand catties of grain, ten thousand catties of gold, plus a thousand gold and copper jars, and a thousand large wine jars." Want to draw? Spend money in exchange, she is easy to talk to.
The cute and cute little junior sister is always thinking about the supplies in the secular world. Yu Qi rubbed her head in a funny way: "Little junior sister, this business is losing money. The price must be higher. The food must be at least 100,000 jins, and the gold must be at least 100,000 jin." Fifty thousand kilograms is enough to be worthy of your painting."
The bald classmate Le Xiao, who was afraid of being slapped, also forgot to hide his hands on his head, his eyes were shining: "Okay, it will be as much as Brother Seventh said."
Luo Cheng wished Liu Shiyu Nineteen: "..." Yu Qi can always tell the favorite points of the junior and middle school sisters, which makes them unable to perform well and makes them want to beat him up!
Yu Qi was his junior brother. Luo Cheng resisted beating her even more. He put away his junior sister's paintings and flew directly to the Immortal Palace. He went to the Foreign Council Hall of Mingyue Kingdom and gave the paintings to the emperor and courtiers.
The Beiting Emperor and the court officials were so excited that they temporarily put down their government affairs and spread out the paintings to admire. They quickly took their seats. Except for a family of cultivators and a family belonging to the Mingyue Empire, no one was present. The family of the ten portrait owners There were people in the meeting hall, and each family was so happy guarding the portraits of their children that they couldn't find anything to look for.
Everyone guarded the portrait like a treasure, and Luo Cheng slowly dropped a bomb: "You have to be more careful and don't damage the painting. You can ask the painter to make a copy, and the original painting will be returned." "Ah
? "The king and his ministers felt disappointed.
The emperor of Beiting asked in a low voice: "Cousin, can I... leave the painting of the little fairy?" "
This is very embarrassing," Luo Cheng pretended to think about it and acted like a courtier. Conceding expression: "How about this? If you want to keep the original painting, you can barter for it. For each painting, you will be given 100,000 jins of grain, 50,000 jins of pure gold, and the large size used in the palace to prevent leakage and hold water." One thousand gold and copper jars, one thousand more for the large wine jar made of purple sand, and one thousand or two thousand for the small wine jar that can hold five kilograms of wine. I will go talk to the junior sister and see if we can be accommodating." "Can you use things with things
? Easy to paint?" Jun and his ministers were so excited that they almost jumped up. Being able to keep the painting of the little fairy as a treasure in the family would be worth the loss!
"My junior sister originally asked me to return the painting as it is. I thought that my junior sister has always been kind-hearted, and Mingyue Country is my mother country. I must be able to give me this face. Of course, it is only this time." Luo Cheng Said seriously.
The emperor of Beiting and the court officials responded hurriedly with "yes, yes, yes". The people who were guarding the portraits of their children were even more excited and guarded the paintings even more closely, fearing that they would be ruined even a little bit.
The emperor hurriedly sent someone to invite a painter to copy the painting, but Luo Cheng didn't stop. He walked out of the hall with everyone watching him with a cold back. He wanted to go back to the Immortal Palace, but found that his junior sister had gone to the emperor's living room, guessing that she was going to Set up the formation and fly to the emperor's living hall halfway.
After the emperor moved to the palace, the entire palace was vacant and there were no idle personnel. It was also convenient for Le Yun to arrange the magic arrays in the palace. She dug holes here and planted trees there. She kept wandering around the palace and completed the work at night. Place the jadeite in the center of the array eye to activate the grand array.
The magic circle was opened, and the emperor's living palace turned into a golden pattern. The light of the soul jade and the light of the magic circle rushed up into the night, and the area of thousands of miles centered on the imperial capital was bathed in golden light.
