Chapter 58: Looking for Basil People(1/2)

Wei Taishi, Wei Wuxia.

The most powerful figure nowadays, as early as the late Emperor Huan, was powerful in the court, and all over the court were his followers, and even Xu Qian was excluded from the court by him. Now the new king ascended the throne, young and ignorant, as the emperor, thought he could do whatever he wanted, but what he did offended the court. In the end, in order to stabilize the situation, Empress Dowager Wei was the elder sister of Wei Wuxia.

In the past, there was an emperor pressing on Wei Wuxia's head, but now even the emperor is subdued by their sisters. There is really no power in the world that overshadows the Wei family.

But even so, Wei Wuxia's mansion was very shabby. In the west courtyard of Wei Wenhou's mansion, there was a separate door open, with several large characters "Taishi Mansion" enfeoffed on the gate.

This is the powerful Wei Taishi Mansion.

The Grand Tutor's Mansion is not big, it was originally the western garden of the Hou Mansion. There was a large area of ​​plum blossoms planted inside, which was formerly called the Plum Garden. Wei Wuxia's top scorer in high school, but after he became an official in the court, the Hou's Mansion made the back garden for Wei Wuxia. Because Wei Wuxia loved the plum blossoms in the garden and could not bear to cut off the plum tree, there was no large-scale construction, there were only more than ten flower-appreciating lofts, which were called the Plum Pavilion.

There are three floors in the plum pavilion, the first floor is completely hidden in the plum tree. From a distance, the second and third floors look like floating on plum trees.

On the third floor, there is a room by the window. The tea fragrance is everywhere. Two boys cook tea continuously. A woman under the window has a red face and her eyes are full of excitement. She stares at the chessboard in front of her without blinking. She has to think about it for a long time every time she falls.

The middle-aged man opposite the woman had a calm expression, a refreshing move, without any delay, and a confident smile on his face, which was quite a general, no, he had the demeanor of a great man.

The woman fell to the last piece with a serious expression. There was no place to make a move on the chessboard. In the end, she grabbed the last corner and breathed a sigh of relief.

"See what you think!"

The man said calmly.

The woman nodded and began to count on the board.

After some counting and calculations.

"draw?"

The woman was surprised. She had tried all her best and knew that Tai Shi Wei was a master of chess. She was in seclusion at home for three days to comprehend Go. Finally, she came to the door with a game of Go, but she was just a master. Who would have thought that this game of chess ended from morning to noon. In the end, she turned out to be a draw, and she was unwilling to accept it.

"You lost Jinchuan!"

The man said with a smile.

The woman was dissatisfied: "It was obviously a draw."

The man smiled and said, "You should take the black first, you should let half of your son."

The woman groaned and threw a handful of black chess in her hand directly on the board.

The man smiled and said, "You must be calm when facing major events. Jinchuan, you are so impatient, and you can practice the skills of nourishing qi."

The woman doesn't speak.

The man waved his hand: "Go and get the bowl."

A boy who was making tea immediately ran to the bookshelf beside him and took out a bowl from a sandalwood box. The bowl was crystal clear.

The boy held the bowl in front of the man with both hands. The man did not take it. He tried his best and delivered the bowl to the woman.

The woman frowned: "Trial Master, do you look down on me? Or do you look down on women?"

The man shook his head: "It is often no harm to underestimate men, and it is often a big loss to underestimate women."

The woman said, "Is the Grand Master talking about the Queen Mother?"

The man said, "Do you think I underestimated the Queen Mother?"

Since I was not looking down on me, I won the chess again and finally gave myself a bowl, so I must have another plan.

The woman glanced at the bowl: "The summer flies are not close to each other, and the water will not rot or consume after months of life, or the eyes will be painful and healed immediately. This thousand-year-old ice is indeed well-deserved."

The so-called thousand-year-old ice is the name of this bowl, known as the thousand-year-old ice, but it is actually a crystal bowl. It was the time of Taizu, when the Rong people in the Western Regions paid tribute. The woman tried her best to find a good crystal. She learned from an old eunuch in the palace that there was such a bowl when Taizu was in charge of the treasure house, but when Taizu Wei was the top scholar, Emperor Huan rewarded Wei Wuxia. So the woman learned chess at home for three days, took the chess board to challenge and called for the bowl. As a result, she lost and she did not need to pay extra chips, because a pair of Go that never appeared was her chips.

The Grand Master accepted the bet, took out chips in advance, and learned this new chess from the woman. However, the Grand Master, who had just learned the rules, took the woman step by step and finally won the other party. He is worthy of being the military master who defeated Xu Qian.

"It's a pity that this treasure is ruined."

The man sighed.

This bowl is crystal clear and has no impurities. It is the best among the best. And there are many legends about it. It is said that mosquitoes and flies will not get close to this bowl. They will not smell or evaporate for a month. When your eyes are sore, a drop of water in the bowl will be cured immediately.

"The Grand Master knows what I am going to do?"

The woman was curious.

The man smiled and said, "It's not just you who are looking for crystals lately."

The woman suddenly realized that with the power of Wei Taishi, nothing that happened in the capital could not escape his eyes and ears.

"Taoshi said it clearly. What does this mean?"

She picked up the bowl and asked. If you don’t receive any reward without merit, Master Wei handed the bowl to her, and it would not be for no reason.

The man said, "I heard you are looking for someone recently?"

The woman nodded, and knew that this matter could not be hidden from the Grand Master.

"Yes."

The man said, "I want you to find this person. This bowl is a reward, and I will be given to you in advance."

It was like he had withdrawn the chips after the bet in advance.

The woman was surprised: "The Grand Master is also looking for the Panhua people?"

The man nodded.

The woman pushed the bowl back: "Sorry. The second master should not do anything, I have promised someone else."

The man said, "Don't you want to hear the purpose of me asking you to find someone?"

The woman said: "It's not difficult to guess, either take it for yourself or remove it."

The man shook his head: "No. I want you to find this person and send it to the Imperial Academy!"

The woman was completely shocked: "The Master of the Grand Master knew that it was the Taixue who asked me to find someone?"

The Taixue asked her to help find the Penghua people, and the Taishi Wei asked him to find them, and said that if there were no coincidences, the woman would definitely not believe it. There are many coincidences in the world, but it would never happen to Wei Wuxia.

The man did not answer and asked back, "How? Do you agree or not."

The woman was silent for a moment: "I naturally agreed. It was just that the Grand Master did this, and it seemed that it was just a waste of money for me."

The man did not refute: "I think the reward given by Taixue is too small and is not enough to pay such a entrusted payment."

The woman groaned and knew that she could not guess Wei Wuxia’s real thoughts, so she simply stopped guessing.

He said coldly: "Okay. If I find the Panhua people, I will send them directly to the Taixue. I will not have any connection with the Taixue."

The man said, "That's right."

"One word is certain!"

The woman put away the bowl, bowed her knees and said goodbye.

Along the way, I was speculating about what the identity of the Pampang people was, and why so many people came to him because he wrote a famous poem that spread throughout the capital?

When she returned to her house, her maid reported that the person she had made an appointment was already waiting. The woman took the bowl directly to the living room of the plum house without stopping.

In the living room, a man and a woman were playing. When she saw her coming, she put away all her actions, stood up and bowed.

"See the princess!"

The man is Liu Zhiyi, the woman is Lin Hua, and the senior sister Fang Rongnu is receiving guidance in the prince's practice room.

"What you want."

When the princess saw Liu Zhiyi, she casually handed him the crystal bowl, which seemed to be an insignificant thing, just like a thing she easily got.

Without this bowl, Jinchuan felt that she could not see this person. She was a good person and the bull that she braged must be fulfilled. She boasted that day that she could find the crystal within three days. As a result, she first searched through the royal palace's treasury and found that there was no suitable one. She went to relatives and friends for help, but she found nothing. She even found a clue, but she still found Wei Wuxia. She could only plot against Wei Wuxia and wanted to win the bowl. Fortunately, Master Wei was arrogant and even gave it to the bowl if he lost.

After the princess delivered the bowl, she sat down to drink tea on her own, without looking sideways, and only glanced at her with the light. She thought Liu Zhiyi would be shocked, shocked, and could not believe that she could get this bowl, this legendary bowl.

But when he saw Liu Zhiyi glance casually, put the bowl on the table, and continued to look at her with anticipation.

The princess couldn't hold back her anger. It was the first time she was seen by a boy like this. Although she was over 28 years old, she had never been married.

"There's something else?"

Liu Zhiyi wondered, what about the record of the blood worm? You won’t have it, you have forgotten it!

Liu Zhiyi's purpose was to record blood worms. What does Crystal have to do with him? He even forgot about this, only remembering that the princess promised him to help copy the blood worms record.

The princess only remembers looking for crystals, and remembers that Liu Zhiyi promised to help him make a microscope.

Both are selfish people.

"Princess? Bloodworm..."

Liu Zhiyi whispered a reminder.

The princess immediately remembered and couldn't help but blush. Copying records was an insignificant thing for her, but the difficulty of finding crystal exceeded her expectations. She spent all her energy on it, and she forgot the easy things. She couldn't help but frowned. She was not a forgetful person. She was not a forgetful person. She was not a plan for everything and was not a waste of preparation. Sometimes she was even more self-disciplined than men.

"Wait!"

The princess didn't let Liu Zhiyi see her blushing, and turned around and left.

After an hour, the princess came back. She had been away for so long, could she have been copied now?

Seeing that he was holding a dictionary so thick stack of mulberry paper and the size of a letter paper, Liu Zhiyi took back his doubts, and how could he copy so much now?

What he didn't know was that as soon as the princess walked into the royal palace library, he immediately summoned all the clerks and made only one request, "Find out all the words about the bloodworm for me and copy them down!"
To be continued...
