By Jia Xiuzhen

King Xin waited to talk about it, but the emperor talked about court affairs, so he had to put it down first.Then he asked Taoist Cang Pu a few words about the weather and asked him to retreat.

After summoning a few more ministers, at last there was a free time. King Xin brought tea and approached his brother and asked, "Brother Huang, why don't you ask the old way? Maybe there is some secret method to prolong life."

The emperor glanced at him and sighed: "If you have a way to prolong your life, what will you do?"

Xin Wang said: "Naturally, I will hurry up and talk to you! Uh, no, I will tell His Majesty and brother you as soon as possible!"

The emperor rolled his eyes: "Do you dare to look back with a face that is 20 years younger?"

King Xin quickly shook his head: "Don't! Then...then it's not sure who will own this thing! Huh, it's just that they robbed us when we were young. We are unlucky. If we dare to think about their things, even if we take a second look, it is also "coveting and impure in our hearts".

If there is such a good thing, hey, it must still be like that.Not to mention that now I feel sorry for those two who were overwhelmed by us, and regret that I gave this seat to the wrong person.Didn't it just happen to grab something and give it to those two?Heh, we have worked so hard to govern the country and keep the people safe. It is not enough for them to sit still and live a long life. At that time, they will use their generation to suppress our children and grandchildren, and maybe they will even usurp power as a regent! ..."

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and finally he gritted his teeth and scolded his mother.Hey, who among the people outside this door would have thought that the nobles of Tianhuang would have such a tone?

The emperor looked at him with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pat him: "Okay, okay, I'm fooling around, you are still mad at yourself. Even if you are like this, the old man is now in our hands, showing off such a good look." Show us the face..."

King Xin suddenly remembered how the old Taoist was full of words waiting for people to ask, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Huang, I just think you are busy with government affairs and have no mind! Well, in this way, the old Taoist really wants to wait for us to ask Meaning. We didn’t have time to ask, so we sent him away, and I don’t know why he’s so upset! Ha, the more I think about it, the more amusing I am.”

The emperor also smiled slightly and said: "His behavior is like this. According to my guess, he is probably trying to use the order of the emperor to plot something. Believe it or not, if we are really greedy for his life-prolonging things, there will be a funeral. People Speaking of it, I can only say that I am fatuous and incompetent, and I believe in the theory of gods and ghosts. He is also considered to have two parts, and now he can predict the weather, which is beneficial to the people and the society, so he is allowed. But, I will not do that' Don't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods."

Xin Wang nodded again and again, but said: "But he really looks a few years younger."

The emperor shook his head and said: "The hero of the Han Dynasty, but he believed in the words of the alchemists. Think about it, if that person really has the ability of immortality, what is the use of gold, silver and property? If you want to live forever, you always go to the top. Let’s say that the old man in Ningguo Mansion that you despise the most, hangs out with a few Taoist priests, and even refuses to go back to the mansion. But there is a man who is keen on making money A powerful person who likes to make friends with powerful people claims that he knows the magic of immortality... Don't you think it's a bit weird?

If someone really has the ability to come to you and me, hmph, I'm afraid most of them will use it... Another one, the way of heaven is balanced, power is overwhelming and immortal... What do gods need to do! "

When King Xin heard this, he repeatedly wanted to interrupt the argument, until he heard the last sentence, thought for a while, and sighed: "Mother and concubine always said that I am less wise and more greedy. Now I am more faithful. "

Don't talk about the gossip between the two of them, just say that Taoist Cang Pu strolled back to the apse, closed the door, and his calm and breezy face disappeared in an instant.There is a little worry and a little thought on the face.

That day, he held the soul stone and rubbed it for half a night, but he couldn't hold it back. He called a few trusted apprentices to protect the law, and sat down in the quiet room to practice the exercises, absorbing the power of the soul stone into his body.After it is completely sucked, the east has already dawned, and the soul stone is only left with a pile of gray-brown dregs.

In the next few days, unless summoned by the superiors every day, the rest of the time will be spent on cultivation, and the seven days before and after are considered to be refined.Seeing that the figure in the mirror was several years younger than half a month ago, his already "satisfied" heart suddenly gave birth to some "big ambitions".

At the beginning, some methods were used to cover up one or two things.Later, the heart of desire became more intense, and after carefully reading the few evil exercises, I realized the way of "taking advantage of the situation", and felt that "the time is not waiting for me".Because the soul stone has been used up, and there is no record in the classics of the door where such a magic weapon can be found, this road is considered broken.But let him find another way - there is a formation called "Spirit Transformation Formation", which can use the power of the stars and the moon to transfer the energy of this world's spiritual things to increase people's fortune and longevity.

Everything that is drawn into this formation is precious and rare, let alone the "spiritual objects" that will be used as essence in the future.Although Miaoyunguan has gained power now, it has only been a few years of hard work, and it can only be regarded as full of food. If you want to say how much foundation has been accumulated, it is not.Where did he find all these things?After thinking about it, the most appropriate thing is to care about it.Could it be that the world is as big as the king's land, and the emperor is rich all over the world, if he can get this help, what else can he do?

It was only then that he deliberately pretended to retreat for a few days, and then came out with that face.He just wanted to get the emperor to ask him, and he would evade it a few times in a vague way, and then show some eyebrows, and the funeral will naturally be easy to talk about.Emperor Qin, Han and Wu were not free from the desire to live forever, not to mention that they are not in good health when they are working hard to govern.There is no reason not to be tempted by the ready-made "rejuvenation, longevity and longevity" in front of you?

But I didn't expect this situation!Didn't even ask a question.Or is it that the effect is not obvious on my own side?Or is the emperor worried about the government and not paying close attention to it?Or maybe the emperor is not interested in the technique of longevity? ...Thinking about everything, I suddenly thought of the fact that I had repeatedly argued with King Xin in the past few years that "I only know celestial phenomena, but I don't know magic spells".I couldn't help but knock myself on the head, "Come on, let's go, it seems that this matter can only be discussed in the long run."

It is also said that officials in the upper court were promoted and demoted.Jia Yucun was originally recommended by Lin Ruhai to Jia Zheng that day, and Jia Zheng came forward to find the vacancy, but Jia Zheng himself did not show up, so Jia Yucun connected to the Wang family through the Jia family.The case of Ying Tianfu Xue Pan made Wang Ziteng remember him.Now several times about Jia Amnesty, he has not been able to hide it from him.

This time the historian wants to go abroad, and before leaving, he got together with Prince Teng to talk about the future plans.Wang Ziteng then mentioned Jia Yucun, and said: "The reputation of the 'Four Kings and Eight Dukes' is still there, but their strength is not as good as before. Many things are difficult for us to take action, but our opponents often make small strategies. Although it doesn't matter, it does. It's 'Long □ □ lying on the feet, don't bite people, he's disgusting'! Always have something useful in your hand. This person is very good, he is black-hearted and thick-skinned, he is really a good knife." I have mentioned a few things that Jia Yucun has handled before.Now the four families all regard him as the leader, so they all let him arrange.

In this way, more than a month later, Wang Ziteng was promoted to the capital of the nine provinces, and Jia Yucun was awarded the chief minister, and he was an assistant military counselor to the government.Jia Yucun is even more grateful to Wang Ziteng, and even expresses his utter loyalty to Jia Wang Shixue's four families.But he didn't know, since it was a good knife, how could he be the only one with the eyesight to know the knife and the heart to use the knife? !

The Wang family became more and more prominent, Mrs. Wang was still normal, but Sister Feng was more elegant than usual.But it's more joy than joy. In November, when the imperial doctor came to ask for the pulse, it was called a happy pregnancy.Sister Feng has been married to Jia Lian for some years, and she has only one sister, Qiao. Now that she has Xiner again with great difficulty, the whole house is naturally rejoicing.

Needless to say, Jia Mu was the first one, Mrs. Wang was also worried that her knees were empty and she had a reputation of being jealous. Now that she was happy, she urged her in every possible way.The Wang family also sent in unknowingly how many things that would make them feel at ease.Although Mrs. Xing also likes many grandchildren, she can't understand Sister Feng's beautiful appearance, so she only makes superficial articles in front of Jia Mu.

Jia Mu has always loved Sister Feng very much, and she pities her housekeeper to be busy and weak, so it goes without saying that there are medicinal materials and other things to make up for her body.She also remembered the nightmare of Baoyu and Sister Feng before, and asked people to invite several family temples and nunneries to recite a few tables of the Buddha of Peace.Mrs. Wang also sent a box of various amulets and peace amulets.

This aroused Sister Feng's mind, she was originally a thoughtful person.Although Jiamu was the one who spoke about the past, she was not allowed to talk about it, but she always suspected that someone in the house was going to kill her.As long as there is hatred and grudges, she is in charge of the huge government affairs, and the number of servants who cursed her to death is unknown, and there is no way to find out.Even so, these years have not relaxed, and several confidantes are still inquiring about this matter for her, but she never mentioned a word on her face, and no one knows about it.

Ping'er saw that she was deep in thought and said nothing, so he brought a cup of Ningshen Tang to persuade him: "Old ladies and ladies who give amulets and chant Buddha are just to pray for grandma's safety. Grandma started to think wildly and disturbed her mind, didn't she Lived up to the old lady's love for grandma? Now that she is finally pregnant, it is time to put everything aside, raise the baby with peace of mind, and give birth to a brother, which is serious."

Sister Feng said with a smile, "what do you know? The love you saw today is the result of my constant habit and restlessness! If I were like my sister-in-law, I would have two meals a day and leave my business alone." ', you see, the old lady still hurts me or not! Whether it suits my heart or not is the same, whether it is useful or not is the long-term benefit. According to what you said, I should put down my picks and rest and raise my baby now. That's good. The Chinese New Year is coming in a blink of an eye. Who do you let take care of this mess? When Sister Qiao was born last time, I was about to give birth. Did I have to run around a few times? Let my wife take care of it, but I have to make two extra trips. Might as well just let me take care of it."

Ping'er thought about it, and said: "I can't just rely on grandma to manage it alone. The eldest grandma is useless, she really doesn't have the heart, just pay attention to the girls. For the rest, the third girl is good. , it's just that our family doesn't have a precedent of a girl butler..."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Why not?! When Sister Lin and her mother were at home, she took care of the family for two years. Even after the wife got married, she couldn't decide what to do, so she had to ask this young lady."

Ping'er said: "Then how can it be the same? If the mother is the housekeeper, of course I didn't say anything, the third girl... The third girl is an excellent person, but if she wants to take care of the house, she is afraid that a group of uncles and aunts will come out to mess around. It's not difficult for those daughter-in-laws in charge, but it's difficult here."

Sister Feng smiled: "Little hooves can see it clearly! Who made her doomed and failed to be thrown into the wife's stomach."

After a while of gossip, there were a few more things to report to me. Seeing that there were two old relatives in the house, Sister Feng wanted to go to Mrs. Wang for advice.The master and servants arrived there, and it took a long time before Mrs. Wang invited him in to talk.At first, I thought there was a guest inside, but when I went in, I didn't see anyone else.I also saw Mrs. Wang's complexion was unusual, her eyes seemed a little red, and the two lines around her mouth were getting deeper.She didn't dare to ask, so she just told the story. Mrs. Wang answered a few words in a flat manner, and said she was tired, so Sister Feng resigned.

On the second day, I heard that Mrs. Wang fell ill due to a sense of the weather. Baoyu Tanchun was going to serve and was persuaded to come out, only saying to lie still.Everyone didn't talk too much, at this time it was very cold, and the symptoms of loss of care were not uncommon, so they didn't take it to heart.

But Biyue quietly said to Li Wan: "I heard that the master sent a letter back, and the wife is not very good after reading it. Two days ago, the old lady sent two old nuns to the master. I heard that ...I heard that the two nuns are dedicated to taking care of pregnancy and childbirth."
