Chapter 393 I don't want face?
"Boss, you don't even know this? Not only do our Jinyiwei raise a lot of boars and black dogs just in case of accidents, but even the army also raises them in captivity. I'm afraid that if you encounter such a monster, you won't be able to find them for a while. I’ve been in the palace for so long, haven’t I seen that there is a pig farm in the backyard of Zhidian Supervisor?” Seeing that Xiao Chen didn’t understand, Chen Ming explained to him.
"After you said that, I just remembered that the Zhidian Supervisor did have a pig farm, and there were more than one hundred big black pigs in it. I thought they were raised for the emperor's empress." Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, those are big boars that have never been castrated. The slaughtered meat is fishy and smelly. How could the empress eat it? It is often used in the palace to drive away evil spirits. There is also a dog farm, which raises pigs Dozens of black dogs are also used for this." Chen Ming said.
"Is this thing really useful?" Xiao Chen was quite interested in this.
"Of course it's useful. Both gods and demons are afraid of this kind of filth, and they can't bear it once it touches it. In fact, there is one more thing that works better. Boss, guess what it is?" Chen Ming sneaked road.
"I'm not guessing. Don't you even understand this? Well, I won't talk nonsense with you. I brought a lot of good leather when I came back this time. Whenever you have time, go there. Choose." Xiao Chen actually knew what Chen Ming was talking about, because Wen Shanchang had told him.
That is, women used sanitary napkins during menstruation, and the menstrual blood on them can also be used to suppress nightmares and ward off evil spirits...
Xiao Chen went home all the way, before he entered the yard, he suddenly heard a loud bang inside, accompanied by a smell of gunpowder smoke that choked his nose...
He was so scared that he almost rolled off his horse and fell to the ground. Who am I to throw a bomb at the young master's house?
After entering the yard, I realized that it was not a bomb, but a firecracker.
The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Of course, there will be fireworks and firecrackers. Duan Linger and Xiao Chen went to the street and bought a large cart. They were just now trying to explode a marle seed the size of an arm. This thing is very powerful. , It is really comparable to a small bomb bird.
"What are you two brats doing, you?" Xiao Chen was startled again when he saw the fireworks and firecrackers piled up like hills in the yard, and the confetti all over the floor, "Who told you to set off cannons in the yard? This thing can't just be piled up like this, if it is detonated..."
The consequences are unimaginable!
"I won't listen!" Tie Kunlun complained from the side, "Don't let them buy so many, they have to buy it! Do you think you can finish it in one night? Besides, such big fireworks are not set off at home, they have to go outside the city Just do it!"
"No, we spent tens of taels of silver to buy these, what if they were stolen outside the city!" Duan Ling'er was reluctant.
"Then you go and guard it!" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh, let's keep it at home for one night, let's take it out of the city tomorrow!" Duan Linger said.
"Isn't tomorrow the fourteenth day of the first lunar month?" Xiao Chen thought he had made a mistake.
"Yes, it has to be released tomorrow. On the night of the fifteenth day, I have to go to the palace to participate in the Lantern Festival." Duan Linger said, "But I want to go to the Lantern Market again."
"I won't go to the Lantern Festival this year, and the emperor didn't order me to go." Xiao Chen said.
"But just now, Empress, oh, it was Murong Danqiu who sent someone to invite us to play at the Lantern Festival in the palace." Duan Linger said with her big eyes blinking.
"Cut, if she invites me, I'll go to Ang? No!" Xiao Chen is at odds with Li Wanjiang. If you don't personally order me to invite me, you old boy, I won't go either. I am a dignified first-rank eunuch How about face?
The Queen's invitation to me is simply not enough, so I refuse!
"Uh...but the empress only invited me and Xiao Ye, not you, brother." Duan Linger whispered.
"Please me too...huh?" Xiao Chen's face fell to the ground with a thud, and it was smashed into pieces.
"I don't want to go. I want to spend the festival with my brother at home, but the empress invited me in person. If I don't go, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to her?" Duan Linger looked very embarrassed.
"Hmph, your face is bigger than your brother and me now!" Xiao Chen entered the room angrily.
"Murong Danqiu knew that you loved them the most, so he invited the two of them to play. Boss, you won't be angry because of this, right?" Tie Kunlun followed.
"Boss isn't angry, he's trying to suppress his anger. Last year, the boss made a big splash at the Lantern Festival, but this year the emperor didn't order him to go in. It's not good for the boss to take the initiative to participate, otherwise it will appear that the boss likes to show off. "Fu Yan also strolled in.
"I heard from them that the Dongying Kingdom sent some kind of diplomatic mission here this year to compete with the talented scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty in poetry and papers. Isn't our boss the number one talented person in China? What if he doesn't attend?" Tie Kunlun said.
"The boss is the number one talented scholar, but it doesn't mean that there are no other talented scholars in Dazhou. There are so many Jinshi in the Imperial Academy who are not working for nothing." Fu Yan laughed.
"Li Wanjiang just doesn't want me to be in the limelight again. If you don't go, you won't go. Don't worry, let's go to the lantern festival and guess lantern riddles together." Xiao Chen didn't care about it.
Take out the key hammer and wooden fish of the monk palm chime and put it on the table, "This is the magic weapon of the monk palm chime, you two see if there is anything weird about this thing?"
"Oh, boss, why did you bring this back? This thing is very evil..." Fu Yan picked it up and looked at it for a long time, "Yeah? It seems to be an ordinary wooden fish key hammer."
"Aren't there any ghosts and ghosts attached to it?" Xiao Chen said.
"No." Fu Yan shook his head, he knows Feng Shui, if there is anything weird in it, he should be able to see it.
"I don't think there's anything magical about this, it's still made by craftsmen in the woodware factory." Tie Kunlun said.
"Ah? How do you know?" Xiao Chenxin said that it is impossible to mass-produce this magic weapon, right?
"There are characters engraved on the bottom of this wooden fish. It was made by a craftsman named Alam." Tie Kunlun pointed to a line of Sanskrit on the bottom of the wooden fish.
"I rely on these characters. I thought it was some kind of mysterious pattern... You kid can even read Sanskrit?" Xiao Chen was very surprised.
"I don't know much." Tie Kunlun said modestly.
"I always feel that there is something unusual about these two things, otherwise, why would the monk holding the chime want this thing to be buried with him?" Xiao Chen's feeling has always been very effective.
But this time it didn't work either, because the three of them looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything unusual.
"Let's wait for Ouyang Yunxiu to come and ask her to take a look." Fu Yan said.
Ouyang Yunxiu is the real expert.
It's fine if these two things are not weird, if there is, she can definitely see it.
"Will she come back?" Speaking of Ouyang Yunxiu, Xiao Chen was a little worried.
"Of course they will. The disciples of the Ouyang family are all promises, and they will never break their promises." Fu Yan said.
"Am I the only one who thinks that young lady is weird?" Xiao Chen really wanted to tell the two what happened between him and Ouyang Yunxiu that night.
But he also promised Ouyang Yunxiu not to tell anyone...
