Chapter 90 Isn’t this Masaomi! 【Happy Children’s Day! 】
Eh?
Hearing what she said, mother and son both noticed that there was indeed something unexpected in the yard.
Logically speaking, it is not surprising that there is a small tree in the yard. Many homes have it, and there was one in the Liang family courtyard, so they did not notice it at the first time.
But since Liang Yue started practicing martial arts, he practiced in the courtyard every night, but all the weeds that showed their heads had been cut down, let alone a tree?
Gradually, the Liang family yard became very empty.
But now there is really a small tree standing there.
This tree seems to have grown very recently. It is half a head taller than Liang Yue and maybe a little shorter than Pang Chun. The crown of the tree is green, the trunk is dark green, and every leaf is green.
Looking carefully, both the leaves and the tree body have a faint luster, and they don’t look like ordinary things.
And there is no loose soil underneath, and it doesn’t look like it was transplanted elsewhere. It seems to have been drilled out by itself.
Liang Yue can be sure that there was no such thing when he left home three days ago.
And from the words of mother and sister, we can also know that it was not there yet in the afternoon. That is, during the two hours when Li Caiyun went out to curse people, he suddenly jumped out of his own land.
How strange.
"Did someone secretly plant it just now?" Li Caiyun frowned and said, "Our yard is so big, who sent such an annoying thing? I will pull it out right away. "
"Eh——" Liang Yue and Liang Xiaoyun raised their hands to stop him.
Liang Xiaoyun said: "I have a vague feeling that this tree seems to have some... spirituality? Maybe it is some kind of treasure. Mother, please don't touch it yet."
"Not bad." Liang Yue said: "Anyway, it suddenly appeared It seems to be related to us in our house, so we will observe it for two more days."
"Could it be some kind of tree demon?" Li Caiyun said again, "I heard before that there is a bad tree demon grandma. Very good, just capture some female ghosts and let them suck the yang energy of passers-by. "Oh, don't worry, mother." Liang Yue arched the muscles of his arms, "If there are evil spirits, I can protect them." Yours."
His face was calm and calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Because he took a deep breath under the tree, he could feel that the shrine suddenly became clear and bright, the swordsman and the Tao were particularly excited, and the Tao charm around him seemed to be extremely vivid.
Understanding the Taoist charm under this tree seems to be able to accomplish ten times a hundred times with half the effort.
It feels very much like a legendary fairy.
The one among the top ten immortal species in ancient times...the Enlightenment Tree?
Thinking of this name, Liang Yue's heart beat slightly faster.
I had heard before that the long-lost Enlightenment Tree was about to be born, and there happened to be a mysterious treasure wandering underground in the south of the city, attracting the attention of all parties.
At that time, he had speculated whether the treasure might be the Tree of Enlightenment.
But I never expected that such a thing would appear in my yard.
Of course, whether it is a tree of enlightenment or not still requires some verification.
He reminded: "Mom, Xiaoyun, don't mention this tree that suddenly appeared in our house to anyone yet. It would be bad if this is some kind of treasure and attracts the covetousness of others. ”
"I know." Liang Xiaoyun said.
Li Caiyun also said, "Don't worry, no matter whether this tree is a treasure or not, it belongs to our family if it grows in our house. Don't worry about a leaf from others!"
Liang Yue stared at the courtyard. The little tree in the middle thought for a while and said: "I will write a letter to Xiaopeng tomorrow and ask him to check the academy's classics. No...it is easy to leave evidence by writing a letter. I will tell him personally."
During this period, he saw several secret letters. A lot of information was obtained from the letters, which also gave him a memory.
Anything left on paper may be retained as evidence.
……
Early the next morning, the sky was bright.
Before Liang Yue went out, he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside, which was very noisy.
I thought it was someone's family who was getting married, but it wasn't until someone knocked on the door that the Liang family realized that they had guests.
Liang Yue suddenly became nervous.
The origin of the tree in the yard has not yet been determined. If someone sees it at this time, it might cause bad things.
He quickly opened the door and ducked out, preventing people outside from seeing the scene in the courtyard.
"Is this Liang Duwei who made a meritorious service yesterday?"
As soon as he went out, he saw a crowd of people gathered in front of his house, led by a thin old man wearing palace clothes. , the voice should be that of a eunuch, followed by several young eunuchs holding trays.
Further back was a long queue, with dozens of strong men lined up carrying large boxes, blocking half of the Ping An Alley.
Many people gathered at the alley entrances on both sides to watch the excitement, and the surrounding neighbors also poked their heads out of their homes to see what was going on. "It's me." Liang Yue nodded and said, "Who are you?"
"The old slave is Wu Huaili, the eunuch of the East Palace. He is here to deliver a reward to Liang Duwei." The palace man said with a smile, "Liang Duwei has to invite us in to sit down and feel happy."
"Ah..." Liang Yue looked confused: "The family is poor, dirty and unsightly. , just for fear of tarnishing the things given by the emperor. If there is any reward in the palace, please put it here first."
Wu Huaili showed a look of confusion, but he still smiled and said loudly: " Liang Duwei saved the prince's life and made a great contribution. The emperor gave him three dragon talismans and a thousand gold rewards! Then there was a thank you gift from His Highness, eight pearls, four pairs of precious jade, and a Ruyi jade!"
"In addition..." Wu Huaili took out another gold letter from the tray, "His Royal Highness sincerely invites Liang Duwei to come to the East Palace to serve as the prince's companion, and specially asks the old slave to ask Liang Duwei what he wants?"
A series of The reward made Liang Yue smile uncontrollably.
He had heard of the dragon talisman before. It was a common gift given by the royal family. It was a high-grade talisman specially made by the royal family. It generally has many functions such as expelling evil spirits, rejuvenating the skin, boosting qi and blood, protecting against cold and keeping warm, etc.
Of course, the most important thing is the symbolic meaning. No matter how small an official is, a dragon talisman hanging on his waist shows that he is someone who has been in the sight of the Holy Lord, and others do not dare to provoke him easily.
The one-time reward of three coins may be because he attaches great importance to this merit, but he cannot give too much in official positions, so he just makes up for it.
The reward of a thousand gold is usually not a thousand taels of gold, but usually a mixed gold ingot unique to the imperial court. However, the specially crafted gold ingots can be sold for much more than their own value, and many people are willing to recycle them.
Not to mention the jewels and jade given by the prince, they are all palace belongings and must be of great value.
There is no time to feel sad because the two hundred taels of silver were confiscated. From now on, I will become a rich generation!
Of course, the most important thing is the golden letter, which the prince read aloud.
This is a seventh-grade official!
Moreover, instead of directly conferring an official position, he also asked about his attitude and expressed respect directly.
Chen Su had said before that the prince would not have any evil intentions and he could accept the official position he offered him.
The crown prince's companionship is a leisurely official position, and it will not conflict with the work of the Zhuxie Division.
So Liang Yue took the gold sticker and said: "The prince appreciates it, how dare you disobey the humble position?"
......
Because Liang Yue did not let them enter the yard, this scene was carried out in front of all the neighbors. More and more people gathered around, looking at the Liang family with burning envy and jealousy in their eyes.
We are all poor neighbors in Ping'an Alley. While everyone is still worrying about where to find a new house, the Liang family is about to become a wealthy official family.
I am simply envious of others.
Those who are thoughtful think more.
The Liang family did not allow anyone in the palace to enter the courtyard and directly asked them to pray outside. What was going on?
This is a demonstration!
Those who had conflicts with Li Caiyun all secretly expressed their disapproval and hoped that she would not let her son help settle old grievances in the future - the only good thing is that there are so many people, and she should not be able to settle them.
The old man surnamed Li next door had his eyes darkened.
Oh no, no, no, I had an argument with Li Caiyun just yesterday, but today they took off.
Didn’t I commit a sin?
After the adhan team put down all the gifts, they returned to the East Palace.
Wu Huaili was old and frail, so he had a sedan for him to ride in. It took him a long time to return to the north of the city.
When he returned to the East Palace, the prince was waiting outside the palace.
His fair and fat face has recovered, and the shadow of the kick cannot be seen, and he is smiling happily.
"How is it?" The prince asked with a smile: "Did he agree to be a companion reader?"
"His Highness is interested, how could he not agree?" Wu Huaili said with a smile, "As for the old slave, there is no need for His Highness to ask, just give him an official position. He, a small imperial guard, can have the opportunity to be promoted to the seventh rank. "It's not a great thing to be with His Highness."
"Hey, you didn't know." The prince shook his head and said, "He is a disciple of Xuanmen and a nephew that Mr. Chen admires very much. Riding with him is also a bit of a ride with Zhu Xiesi. Moreover, he is very resourceful and comes as a companion, which is a great help to me."
Yesterday, Chen Su and Liang Yue rode together. The news has spread throughout the government and the public together with the major case that occurred under the Tower of Babel.
This move is naturally a statement that this up-and-coming young man has long been a member of the Zhuxie Yamen.
Whether you want to recruit him or take revenge on him, you must take his existence into account.
"Your Highness is really knowledgeable and good at taking charge of people." The old eunuch flattered him habitually.
The prince asked again: "How is the behavior of this new companion? Has he given you money, bribed you, or allowed you to speak well in front of me?"
" No, absolutely not!" Wu Huaili replied decisively: "Although Liang Yue is polite and courteous in his speech, he is not at all polite in his work. On weekdays, slaves go out to issue decrees and give rewards. If someone asks for something, they will give him a few hundred taels. If you don’t ask for anything, you can also give me a fortune of 18 taels, or buy some food and drinks. Not only did he not give us anything, he didn’t even let us in. This was really the first time! !”
“Okay!” When the prince heard this, he immediately smiled and said happily: “It seems that he doesn’t care about your evaluation at all, and he doesn’t know how to flatter others. Isn’t this what Master Xu said? Your Majesty!”
“This is the talent I need!”
