I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 140 The Little Girl and the Mirror
In the imperial palace, inside the Qingming Hall.

The national teacher looked helpless: "Your Majesty asked Pindao to stay in front of the civil and military officials. Those Qingliu saw it, and I am afraid that they will criticize Pindao again to deceive Your Majesty."

"The national teacher is still afraid of them?"

"People's words are terrible, and it's about the fame before and after life. Although the poor Taoist doesn't want to be famous forever, he doesn't want to be infamous for thousands of years."

"Hehehe..."

The emperor smiled very casually, took a sip of tea, and then turned his head to look outside.

Through the gauze curtain, a little greenery can be seen.

There are not many plants in the palace, because they are afraid of becoming a hiding place for villains and monsters, but after a night of rain last night, some of the rare plant decorations were obviously raised and greener.On the bluestone slab, there should be birds or grass seeds blown by the strong wind, but some grass sprouts have grown, and there are eunuchs and maids cleaning it up.

"This morning, I told the court that the rain fell from the sky last night, and there were visions in the grass and trees outside the city. Wei Shangshu said it was an auspicious sign. When I saw the expression of the national teacher, the national teacher seemed to know the reason?"

"What Wei Shangshu said is true. Your Majesty is an emperor who has never been seen in thousands of years. It is normal for the auspicious auspiciousness to come from heaven."

"Is the national teacher unwilling to disclose?"

"It's hard to be poor."

"Why is it difficult to say?"

"Pindao is just a guess."

"Then let's talk about speculation."

"This guess is a real guess, because even if you are poor, you can't count the reason." The national teacher said in a low voice, "It's just that sometimes it can't be counted, but it's also counted."

"It's just you and me here, don't be a fool."

"The successor of Fulongguan's generation has arrived in Changjing."

"Oh?"

The emperor thought for a while before remembering.

Immediately, his expression couldn't help but freeze.

As an emperor, he must have heard the name of Fulongguan, not only heard of it, but also has a lot to do with Fulongguan.

In the last years of the former dynasty, the world has been divided, princes from all over the country are fighting, warlords are everywhere, monsters are rampant, and gods are confronting each other. It is really hard for a people to live.The ancestor of Dayan was regarded as one of the big forces, and he was regarded as virtuous among the big forces of all parties, and gradually won the hearts of the people.According to records, the Taizu of this dynasty was assisted by a Taoist for several years. It was during those few years that all the monsters in the four directions were killed, and those who were in chaos in the lower realms of the gods of the previous dynasty were also put down, and Taizu won the world. , and was warned to treat the people of Li people kindly, and only then did Dayan pay attention to people's livelihood and economy.

I don't know what will happen to the later generations, but looking at the ancients in front of us, there is really no dynasty where the people lived better than Dayan.

A hundred years ago, Dayan had gradually weakened, the population had increased rapidly, and the land was not enough to support the people of the world. The signs of troubled times had appeared, and even some people in the north had rebelled, and the forces of the Quartet were about to move.I heard that it was also a Taoist who couldn't bear to see the world fall into war and chaos again, and was displaced. He offered many clever ideas, and Mr. He stepped forward to welcome Zhongxing again, and even had another great victory now.

"How does the national teacher know?"

"Pindao was really curious about Cui Nanxi's encounter with a fairy in Yunding Mountain, so he went to investigate and found out from many folk rumors that the descendant of Fulong Temple went down the mountain."

"Yunding Mountain!"

The emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide.

When I heard about the encounter with a fairy in Yunding Mountain, I didn't connect it with Fulong Temple.Maybe it's been nearly a hundred years since the monk Fulongguan appeared in front of the royal family last time, and he hasn't heard of it for a long time, maybe it's because the fairy tales of one night and one year are so amazing that he thinks it's the work of a real fairy, Fulong Even the monks who are contemplative can't do it.

"How did the national teacher know that he has arrived in Changjing?" The emperor thought for a while, "Could it be that the Changjing City God..."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"last night……"

"Pindao guesses that it is probably also his handwriting."

"..."

The emperor's eyes were still wide open.

"Yunding Mountain has been a fairyland for one night and one year, and now auspiciousness descends from the sky, nourishing everything around the capital. Could it be that the monks of Fulong Temple are really immortals?"

"To tell you the truth, Pindao just met that person yesterday."

"The national teacher has seen that one?"

"chance encounter."

"What does he look like? What did the national teacher say to him?"

"Pindao invited him to the Star Observation Tower, had a few cups of tea, and chatted about the affairs of the underworld." The national teacher said, "It's the first time we meet, it's not easy to talk in detail, so I have to talk about the general trend of the world."

"The national teacher chatted with him about the underworld?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Fulongguan never covets such things. Since the gathering of the underworld is the general trend, even if they will not help it, they will not disobey the will of heaven and the people." The national teacher said, "What's more, even children know about the reincarnation of the underworld. , if they really have any ideas, it’s no different than the poor chatter.”

"What does that guy think?"

"It seems that he only wants to be a spectator."

"Since the national teacher can talk with him, can I invite him to the palace for a talk?"

"Pin Dao doesn't know where he lives."

"The national teacher thought..."

"Fulong Guanchuan's nature is free and easy. I talked with him for half an afternoon, and I only felt that he is more casual. Although your majesty is the emperor, if you want to get acquainted with him, it's better to let nature take its course."

"The national teacher thinks, what should we call letting nature take its course?"

"Your Majesty doesn't look for it on purpose, one day I will meet him naturally, so I can ask him to talk about it."

"Alright."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Continue to toast and drink tea, amazed and envious in my heart.

"However, some descendants of Fulongguan have a strong temperament, and some descendants of Fulongguan like to punish the strong and help the weak, subjugate demons and eliminate demons. Your Majesty, some people in the court are bullying and lawless, and some even condone demons in the city. For the sake of chaos, so as to eliminate dissidents, and to avoid offending immortals, Your Majesty should be more restrained."

"Thank you for your advice, Master."

The emperor's expression was calm, and he naturally knew what he was talking about.

There are indeed some people in the court who are arrogant and domineering, but what the national teacher is talking about is some people in the court. If they are really ordinary officials in the court, the national teacher will restrain them, so why would they mention themselves like this.

Since he has the same surname as him.

No matter how powerful Fulong Temple is, it will not easily destroy the royal family, but it does not mean that they will be afraid of imperial power.The imperial power only governs the people of the world, not the people on the mountain.Even the national teacher of the Fengtian Temple in Luming Mountain in front of him, wouldn't he still dare to subtly remind himself to restrain future generations, let alone a human immortal with the ability of an immortal.

……

A bronze mirror was placed in front of the little girl.

What was reflected in the mirror was a white and tender girl's face. The girl had no expression, but had a pair of extremely agile eyes and two small balls on her head.

The people outside the mirror look at the people in the mirror, and the people in the mirror look at the people outside the mirror, all of them are surprised.

Opening his eyes, he subconsciously tilted his head back a little. When he realized that the other party was moving in the same way as his own, he was shocked again.After seeing it clearly, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes. The two little girls tilted their heads to look at each other at the same time, and their eyes gradually changed from doubt to novelty.

From time to time, he raised his eyelids and glanced at the person standing in front of him.

"How about it?"

The Taoist put away the mirror in his hand.

"!"

The little girl stared at him without speaking.

"You seem to like it very much."

The Taoist also raised the mirror as he spoke, and looked at himself in the glasses.

Different from the yellowed bronze mirrors often seen in costume TV dramas in the previous life, this mirror is not yellowed, and the surface is extremely flat and smooth, silver-white metal. Too much inferior.

In the mirror is a young Taoist, who is also very strange to him.

"how much is it?"

"Buy it now! Five hundred coins!"

"Expensive."

"This mirror is made of copper even with the handle. Please look at the workmanship, polishing, and thickness, and weigh the weight. You will know that the price is really not expensive. If you don't believe me, just come to the mirror Go to other stores and ask, they are all about the same.”

"Can you reduce it?"

"It can't be reduced. The mirror you are looking at is small, so it doesn't make any money. If you buy a bigger one, the mirror originally sold for [-] yuan, the villain can give you a cheaper price." , or buy this wooden handle, which is also a high-quality wood, save some copper, and sell for four hundred coins."

"..."

Song You took the mirror and looked up and down.

This is a round mirror. The mirror surface is about the size of an ordinary bowl for eating. This size is suitable. No matter how small it is, it will not be easy to take pictures. If it is too big, it will be inconvenient to take it with you when you leave Changjing.

There is an exquisite handle attached to the bottom of the mirror. In the past, mirrors rarely had handles, because those who could afford them were high-ranking officials. They didn’t need to hold the mirror by themselves. Someone would hold it for them. A large number of mirrors with handles illustrate It has entered the homes of ordinary people.

There are cloud patterns on the back, and two lines of characters are written——

Seeing the light of the sun, we will never forget each other.

Song You picked up the other side which was similar, but the words on the back were different, it said——

Seeing the light of the sun, Changle is still young.

This side is better.

"lesser."

"Guest officer..."

450 texts were sold.

Song You counted the money, handed it to the shopkeeper, and took a closer look with the mirror. It was really heavy in his hand, and the material was solid. If it was kept properly, it might last for many years.

Maybe it can last for thousands of years.

If it is discovered by later generations and put into the exhibition hall, I don't know how many men, women and children will walk by it and get close to it to watch it carefully.

"Ah……"

The Taoist laughed, took the bronze mirror, and handed it to the girl next to him: "Bronze is the mirror, you can straighten your clothes. Mistress Sanhua will know what she looks like in the future. But this mirror is very expensive, and Mistress Sanhua uses it." Please cherish the time and don't spoil it, otherwise the person who took the photo will spend it."

The little girl held up the mirror and didn't answer. She just looked at it and followed him.

This is really a small mirror, the Taoist is just right to hold it with one hand, but the little girl is too small, with a small face and small hands, but it looks harmonious when she holds it with two hands.

Not far after walking, I saw a ceramic seller again.

It seems to be a shop of kiln porcelain.

As soon as Song You walked over, he saw a lot of porcelain, including cups, bowls, bottles and pots, most of them were exquisitely made, and they also had the characteristics of kiln porcelain——

Either blue and white, or Linglong.

Blue and white porcelain with blue and white background, elegant and timeless, is very popular with scholars of the Great Yan Dynasty.Linglong porcelain is transparent and elegant, and many people like to play with it. Linglong porcelain is especially suitable for drinking tea. The tea cups are often carved with exquisite hollow patterns by skilled craftsmen. The patterns are like glass, and the tea will leak out. The color helps to enjoy the tea.

At this time, there were a few people with exotic faces in the store who were shopping. I often heard their voices of exclamation, and the owner explained to them. It seemed that Song You could not be taken care of for a while.

Song You didn't care. He carefully picked up a teacup and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.

Ceramics were indeed an important step in civilization.

However, with the development of society, people burn ceramics not only for the convenience of life, but also for appreciation, collection, pursuit of skills, aesthetic expression and sacrifice, so it is endowed with another spiritual attribute in material attributes. It is getting more and more developed, and its spiritual attributes are getting heavier and heavier.

Cheng kiln is the pinnacle of ceramics in this era.

Take a closer look at the small teacup in front of you——

The bamboo leaf pattern is hollowed out on the porcelain body on a white background, which is exquisite and elegant. When you lift it up to the sky, the light transmission of the bamboo leaf pattern is even more obvious, as if it is hollowed out.

It's like glass embedded in white porcelain.

"This is the exquisite Linglong porcelain produced by our Cheng kiln. It is not easy to make a small tea bowl. It requires not only good ceramic skills, but also good carving skills to carve just right on the embryo. Afterwards, the pattern was glazed many times to fill in the gaps, and then it was fired and cast with a special method, and there was a slight error, either cracking or poor light transmission." The shopkeeper had already sent away those customers from other places, He said to him, "The guest officer has a unique vision, and the one you are holding is also a high-quality product in our store."

"how much is it?"

"It depends on how the guest officer bought it, whether to buy it alone, or as a set, and whether to match it with others."

"..."

Song You picked up another one.

I don't know if this is a teacup or some kind of bowl, but the opening is larger and lower than the previous one, and it is closer to the bowl for eating.And the hollow pattern on its body has changed from bamboo leaves to floral flowers, and there are azure lines between the floral flowers.

"The guest officer really has a good eye." The shopkeeper immediately said, "This is the combination of Linglong porcelain and blue and white porcelain. It combines the advantages of blue and white craftsmanship and the art of carving. It is even more wonderful to appreciate the lights at night."

"how much is this?"

"Guest officer..."

"Just buy one."

"Only buy one?"

"Buy it and go back and have a look."

"We usually sell it in sets, at least one teapot and four teacups, and the price is six taels of silver." The shopkeeper said, "Don't look at the price, no matter the dignitaries, princes and generals, they like it very much, even people from foreign lands. When you come here, you can’t put it down. If you have a quick mind, you can buy a set and dedicate it to your king or master. Even if you can’t change to another official, you can still get rich.”

"how much is it?"

"I'll charge you... a tael of silver, and make a friend." The shopkeeper glanced at him, "Since the guest officer said to buy it first and take a look, the villain doesn't make money from the guest officer. If the guest officer goes back and plays with it, if you like it, come again." The business of taking care of villains is that, looking at the entire West Market, the kiln porcelain sold in small shops is also the best and cheapest."

Song You played with it and looked at it carefully.

The broken flower pattern is more delicate than broken rice, but it is also fresh and elegant, not tacky.The simple blue and white depiction, like the leaves of broken flowers but not like them, complement each other and blend perfectly.

Song You was secretly amazed by the craftsmanship, but also amazed by its exquisite elegance.

I really want to buy a set and take it home for dinner and tea.

Unfortunately, money is not enough.

Then you can only buy one.

If you buy one, you've already owned it.

And if you only buy one, this bowl is undoubtedly better than the one just now.

Song You glanced at Mistress Sanhua.

The bowl just now was too high and too deep to be used by cats, but this one is suitable, with a large and shallow opening, and it has no disadvantages except that it is fragile.

And my cat is frugal by nature, and will not owe money like ordinary cats. As long as she knows that this thing is very expensive, and it takes a lot of rats to get it back, even if she accidentally drops it, she will be able to get it back before it falls to the ground. catch it.

"Cheaper."

"This……"

Take it for a thousand dollars.

Song You paid the money, holding the bowl and looking aside.

The little girl has been standing at the door of the store waiting for him, holding a mirror in one hand and raising the other hand high, she has been touching the little ball on her head, cautiously and full of curiosity, as if she is not sure what it is The one growing on his own head seems to be afraid of touching it, and he seems to be concentrating on it and obsessed with it.

Presumably she has gotten used to it, and is no longer surprised by the mirror and the person in the mirror.

"Mistress Sanhua."

"Well?"

The little girl turned her eyeballs to look at him, but within a short breath, she quickly turned her eyes back, took a sneak peek at the person in the mirror, and was surprised to find that she was as fast as herself.

"This is a bowl I bought for you. You can use it to eat when we go out later."

"You bought it for me too?"

"Yes."

"Is there only one?"

"Ah."

"Then you don't?"

"me……"

Song You thought for a while before saying, "Then I'll buy two steamed buns to eat when I'm done shopping."

"Ok!"

"Walk……"

The Taoist walked forward.

The little girl held a bronze mirror in one hand and a small bowl of exquisitely carved and elegant blue and white flowers in the other. She followed behind him, sometimes looking down at the mirror, and sometimes at the small bowl.

People come and go around, and there are many shops on both sides.

This is West Market.

One of the two cities of East and West.

When we arrived in Dayan, the square city system had been abolished, and there were shops everywhere in the city, and all of them could set up stalls. However, merchants themselves were concentrated. The northern and southern cities of the former dynasty were almost abandoned, but the eastern and western cities followed suit. The development of the commercial economy has become more and more prosperous, and it has become a must in Changjing.

Because there are many officials and dignitaries in the east city, and there are many poor people and people from the western regions in the west city, the things sold in the eastern and western cities are also different.

Dongshi mostly sells luxury goods and expensive things.

The West Market mostly sells things used by the common people, besides selling spices from the Western Regions, silk and porcelain.

Walking through it at this time, you can hear the sound of hawking and bargaining, and there are all kinds of people in front of you, as well as various shops and stalls. The prosperity of the world and the various livelihoods of the people are all in it.

Song You walked out of the West Market slowly, but saw a group of people surrounded by the bulletin board at the entrance.

Walked over to have a look, there was a new notice posted on it.

It is to explain the vision of Changjing last night.

The general idea is that today's son is conscientious, governing the country to prosperity and strength, and the court is also clear and bright. The past dynasties are no match for this dynasty. Today, today's son is really a wise king through the ages.The heavens are grateful for His Majesty's sage and virtuous virtues, so the auspiciousness descended from the sky, this is the luck of Changjing, the luck of Dayan, and the common people should not be surprised.

Song You looked at it and just smiled.
