When he arrived in the hall, Cai Jing ordered the people around him to look at the seats and asked Ximen Qing to take a seat.
Ximen Qing pretended to refuse and said: "The position of Grand Master and the princes of the states is to serve as the emperor's wing and assistant. Today, the villain can be in the same room with the Grand Master. He is really a pearl of rice. It is difficult to compete with the sun and the moon. How can he be with the Grand Master again?" Are the teachers sitting in line?"
Every word in Ximen Qing's words has a profound meaning. Cai Jing, who was named Duke of Chu, was the right-hand man of Song Huizong, a fool and a prodigal. Today, Ximen Qing and Ximen Qing are under the same roof. Who is the pearl of rice and who is the shining sun and moon? , then it’s a matter of opinion.
How could Cai Jing hear this hidden meaning? He is sixty-five years old this year. Although his energy has not diminished and he can still make waves in the political arena, the faintness of the elderly is still slowly coming over him. I had personally experienced the magic of Ximen Qing's prophecies before. Today I saw Ximen Qing's heroic spirit and majesty. I was already a little happy. When I heard his clear voice and humble words, I became even more excited. He said with a bright face: "Although I You are a grand master, but you are also a star in the sky. You and I have no control over our names. We simply settle down in our respective positions. Why bother to be polite? Why don’t you put your feelings aside and enjoy the pleasure of today’s guest and host? Forget about fame and wealth for the time being!”
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "In that case, it's better for me to be respectful than obey my orders." He then moved the chair further down and then sat down.
Cai Jing nodded secretly, thinking that this boy was worthy of being from a wealthy family, and he understood the etiquette very well.
After sitting down, Cai Jing asked: "Ximen Star Master, I know very little about the reincarnation of Tianxing. Why don't you explain it in detail? It will be a happy event in my life once I have been enlightened."
Ximen Qing still said with a pun: "In this case, I don't care about the ridicule of the frog in the well, so I boldly said it. If what you say is not pleasing to the ear, the grand master will not laugh."
After that, Ximen Qing mustered up his sharp tongue and selected some of them from the ghostly scene of Journey to the West, the Dongxian style of The Romance of the Gods, the scale of the invincible hell city of Might and Magic Heroes, and the dusty style of the misty Jiangnan. The essence is a blend of Chinese and Western elements, and is narrated by Mr. Shan Tianfang's storytelling art. Cai Jing was mesmerized by the ups and downs of the story.
Ximen Qing finished speaking for a long time, but there was still silence in the hall. Suddenly there was a "pop" sound, and it turned out that Zhai Qian was so ecstatic that he dropped the dust bag in his hand to the ground.
Everyone was shocked, and then their souls returned to their senses. Zhai Qian immediately knelt down and said with a mournful face: "Master, Yunfeng has behaved badly in front of the distinguished guests. He deserves death! Please punish me!"
Cai Jing waved his hand and sighed: "Listen to what Lord Ximen Qingxing said, even I have been there. When people are in the world of the sun, their hearts are in the netherworld, let alone you? Yunfeng rises, I forgive you!"
He turned around and smiled at Ximen Qing and said, "I am born with a soft heart. In the presence of the Star Lord's distinguished guests, I showed mercy to the servants, which made the Star Lord laugh."
"Where is it!" Ximen Qing said with cupped hands, "If it weren't for Butler Zhai's mistake, wouldn't this story in the hall of the Taishi Mansion today be a lot lighter? This mistake can prove the wonder of history. , it can be proved that the goodness of the heart is inevitable."
Cai Jing immediately put Ximen Qing's words "It can be seen that the kindness of the heart" was put on his head, stroking his hands and saying: "Exactly! Exactly! The words of the Star Lord are the best! Today the Star Lord's tongue moved the prime minister's house, and Yunfeng's palm fell. I must write down this wonderful story about whisking in the dust, so that when it is published in the world a hundred years later, the world can also know about today's elegant story!"
At that moment, the guests and hosts were having a good time and were enjoying the new tea served. Cai Jing said: "So, from what the Star Master said, did the Star Master come to earth to practice in the past?"
Ximen Qing sighed, shook his head and said: "The grand master is so exalted. It is better to say that it is a calamity than a lifetime."
Cai Jing said with a smile: "Don't worry about his past lives and tribulations. The Star Lord must have experienced all kinds of things in this world before he can fully understand this life. By then, he will understand his original heart, return to his true nature, ascend to the twilight realm, and re-enter the immortal class, but he will be far better than me.
Wouldn't it be enviable to say that you are an ordinary person?"
Ximen Qing nodded slowly: "Master Taishi is right! I can only sigh that the rolling red dust is like a boulder in the rushing water, but I don't know how much suffering I have to endure in order to get back the thousand-year song and the thousand-year enlightenment."
Cai Jing smiled and said: "Today's officials believe deeply in the immortal way. I have heard it through my ears and eyes, and I have gained a little bit. Today, I am not counting my own capabilities. I want to help the Star Master on his path of cultivation - but I don't know if the Star Master has any fame?"
Ximen Qing said "Eh": "I'm just a villager, and I don't have any personal duties - but I don't know what the grand master's words of helping me mean?"
Cai Jing gave a high five, and Zhai Qian immediately brought a plate, covered with red silk, and placed it respectfully in front of Cai Jing.
Cai Jing's fingers gently slid over the red silk, and Cai Jing said leisurely: "The small hermit hides in the mountains, the big hermit hides in the city, but the real hermit is to hide in the court. Being in the court is like riding the tide of Qiantang,
It is thrilling and spiritually sharpening, but it has a unique skill. I have been immersed in this way for decades and feel it deeply, so today I will talk briefly and deeply, and give a few words to the Star Lord - if the Star Lord wants to enter the world and practice,
Why not enter the officialdom, hold the red seal, and appreciate the ups and downs of the officialdom? Wouldn't it be the joy of life and the bud of the past?"
As he spoke, he lifted up the red silk under his hand and said: "Star Lord, please look at this - yesterday the officials gave me a few empty names and personal declarations. If the Star Lord is interested, I will put you in your Shandong torture center right now."
I am the Deputy of Qianhu, a fifth-grade official. This afternoon, I went to the Second Department of Civil and Military Affairs to register and negotiate for cooperation, and I will take up my post within a certain date - but I don’t know what the emperor’s plan is?"
Ximen Qing was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then he suddenly stopped laughing and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The grand master has good intentions, but I can't bear the poor fortune of the villain!"
Cai Jing said with concern: "The Star Master doesn't know something. I, the Great Song Dynasty, are most afraid of someone using some astronomical prophecies to do dark things. At this time, the Star Master has long been famous in Shandong, even in the city of Tokyo.
It’s been a long time, I’m afraid even the official family of the Great Song Dynasty have heard of your name!”
Ximen Qing said in astonishment: "This... can't be true? Even if the villain has a little fame, how can he go up to heaven to hear it?"
Cai Jing said with a smile: "That singing and dancing fairy, the romantic courtesan Li Shishi, has already compiled your story about marrying a ghost to win over your sweetheart, told and sung it, and now it has become popular in Tokyo.
This is something that has been spread all over the world and is something that can only be expected soon - why is it so surprising that someone with a sharp ear will join an official family?"
Ximen Qing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard such news.
Cai Jing suddenly changed the topic: "Although Star Master is famous today, do you remember Su Shi's words that it's too cold to be at a high place? Your life is now at stake!"
Ximen Qing was shocked when he heard this! This is exactly:
A gentleman with a good reputation is easy to be jealous of, and a good man with a pure character is the same as the world. But I don’t know what worries Ximen Qing has for his life. Let’s hear the explanation next time.
