068:The missing fifth son
After the problems in the academy were solved, everyone was about to leave. Mr. Wei from the academy came over again, hoping that Nan Li could set up a talisman array in the academy so that the academy would no longer be infested by evil spirits.
Dealing with this type of talisman array is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Nanli's charges are usually not low, but the dean is a good friend of Master Yuanfan, and the third brother is studying in the academy, so Nanli calculated it and finally only charged three hundred.
Two meanings.
After spending another morning setting up the talisman array, they left Bailu Academy.
On the way back to Beijing, Ye Siheng said: "I didn't expect you to set up such a talisman barrier. In this way, can you repair the talisman barrier in the palace?"
"It should be possible, but the talisman formation barrier in the palace is not small." Nan Li said.
This project was huge, with only ten thousand or several thousand taels, so she could never take on this task.
Yesi Heng only asked her to go back and take a look. If it could be repaired well, money would be a trivial matter.
——
Jingzhou, inn.
Prince Qi only had two followers left, and he suffered heavy losses this time.
Not long after he fell asleep, he woke up sweating profusely and shouting no.
The attendant hurried in and asked: "Master, are you having nightmares again?"
There were beads of sweat slowly flowing down Prince Qi's handsome face. He nodded, then took out the copper coins and scattered them on the bed.
After looking at the divination of the copper coins, he breathed a sigh of relief: "A Yuan is still fine."
The entourage knew that Prince Qi always had a nightmare, in which his brother was either beaten to death or starved to death.
Every time he wakes up, Prince Qi will perform a divination to determine if anything has happened to his brother.
"Master." The attendant said, "The Taoist priest told us to go to Kyoto of the Kingdom of Mu, and we will naturally find the person we are looking for. However, we have been in Kyoto for a long time and still haven't found the Fifth Young Master. Why don't we go back."
"The Taoist Priest's divination is infallible." A hint of evil flashed in Prince Qi's eyes.
"But now the young master's plans have been ruined one after another. It will be very dangerous to stay." The attendant continued to advise.
Prince Qi gritted his teeth, thinking of Yesi Heng and Nan Li, and wanted to cut them into pieces.
He took a deep breath and said: "I ordered the secret guards to sneak into the Anyang Marquis Mansion before, but has it been done?"
The attendant nodded: "It's done, but the secret guard is working in the outer courtyard."
"That's enough." Prince Qi snorted coldly, "She Nanli has ruined my good deeds several times, so I will let her taste what it feels like to lose a loved one."
Revenge is his consistent aim.
——
Yesi Heng and his party first sent Master Yuanfan back to Wanfo Temple, and then took a detour back to Kyoto.
When they returned, news came from the palace that the magic circle had been repaired.
Back then, when the Imperial Master set up the talisman formation barrier, it was Taoist Master Mingxu from Yuqingguan who helped, so Emperor Mu Wu also invited Taoist Master Mingxu to come this time and repair the talisman formation barrier in less than three days.
Okay, it's much more useful than those rubbish guys in Si Tiantai.
Nan Li only felt regretful that she went to the academy and missed the opportunity to make money.
However, this trip was not fruitless. The dean didn't have much money, so in the end he paid off the debt with books, and all he gave was books on Taoism, which was enough for Nan Li to read for a while, so she could see if there was any way to deal with the Kuroshio.
way.
Mrs. Shen should be happy that her daughter is eager to learn.
But in a few days, it will be the day for Nan Li to get her hair extensions. According to the custom, the wedding ceremony for the official ladies in Kyoto will be grandly organized.
Not only the Shen family, but also Xiao Wanyi and Aunt Qian also wanted to hold a banquet to let others know that the sixth lady of their Anyang Marquis Mansion was very good-looking.
When Nan Li heard this, she immediately refused: "No, I hate this kind of banquet the most. I want to laugh at everyone."
Mrs. Shen frowned slightly: "How can this be done? If you don't do this hairpin ceremony, people outside will just say that you are not worthy of publicity, so they don't dare to let you come out to meet people."
Aunt Qian chatted at the side: "Yes, they also said that our Marquis Mansion has no money to hold a banquet."
Aunt Liang also advised: "Sixth Miss should get to know the noble ladies and young men in the capital. If they are compatible, it would be better."
Nan Li finally understood. Whether they wanted to talk about marriage or not was another matter, but they must look at each other. This is the rule.
No matter how much Chu Hanlin and Mr. Shen loved her, they could not keep her unmarried for the rest of their lives.
Nan Li spread her hands helplessly and said: "But when I practice Taoism, I always put my own affairs at the back. I am born with an iron tree that does not bloom easily. Even if we meet again, it is difficult to meet a destined person."
Mrs. Shen's heart twitched when she heard this, so she had to say: "You are only fifteen, so there is no need to rush to meet you. I mainly want to make your hairpin wedding ceremony grand so that others will know that you are the apple of my eye."
Although he had brought his daughter into the palace before, after all, only a few had seen his daughter.
When she got the opportunity this time, she had to deal with it most of the time, lest people look down on her daughter in the future.
Aunt Qian and Aunt Liang nodded, and they had already discussed how to dress Nan Li.
Even Xiao Wanyi struck up a conversation nearby, and the three of them had a very happy discussion.
Nan Li had no choice but to follow their fancy.
The Jiji Banquet was only a few days away. Fortunately, Mrs. Shen had made preparations in advance and everything in the house was going on in an orderly manner.
Nan Li had already learned the rules, but Aunt Qian and Chu Shuo insisted that the clothes they made before were old and they had to make a new set.
That's not all. With new clothes, there must be some new jewelry, so the jewelry sent filled the entire warehouse.
Fortunately, Nan Li lived separately from Shen's branch as soon as she was born. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough storage in the warehouse.
Nanli's new courtyard has also been under renovation for a long time. It is called Qingliang Courtyard. Its specifications and furnishings are no worse than those in Yuerong Pavilion, and are even better than those in Yuerong Pavilion.
After a lot of preparations, it was finally time for the Hairpin Banquet at the end of August.
Nan Li wore a peach red top with dark patterns on her upper body and a light green gold-woven skirt on her lower body. She wore a lily bun and two jasper seven-treasure tassel hairpins. The tassels were dotted with pearls.
Even the gemstone necklace around the neck shows wealth and nobility without appearing tacky.
Nan Li sighed one after another before going out to entertain the guests in such a state.
Except for Aunt Qian and Aunt Liang who couldn't go to the main banquet, their parents and brothers were all in the front yard, and even the third brother from the academy rushed back.
Even if Nan Li was brought back from the countryside, she is the sixth young lady of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, so everyone will naturally honor her and attend.
Before it was time to sit down, many guests had already arrived in the front yard.
As soon as Nan Li appeared, she attracted the attention of many people.
Her face is slightly round, her eyes are clear and bright, and her skin is fair and flawless. She dressed up carefully today, and her pink outfit looks like a jade.
Many gentlemen's eyes lit up and they went over to say hello.
Lu Yanyan was surrounded by many people just now, but now it was empty.
Her exquisitely dressed face collapsed instantly, and she said, "This Chu Nanli, who is she dressing up so coquettishly for?"
