Liang Xuan lived in Meng Qingshan's house. He always left early and came back late on weekdays. No one knew what this person was doing, and Meng Qingshan was also confused.
Considering that he was a master, he couldn't take the initiative to ask. Seeing that Liang Xuan didn't have any evil intentions, he stopped paying attention to him and thought about letting him toss for a while. He thought it was boring. This person should know what he is interested in. Leave now!
Until one day, Liang Xuan suddenly found Meng Qingshan and asked him if he wanted to be promoted to a noble position and have a bright future?
Meng Qingshan looked at Liang Xuan who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. Naturally, he didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling, so he also wanted to hear what Liang Xuan, who claimed to be an expert, had to say.
It turns out that there is a peony festival every year in Luoyang. On that day, the entire city of Luoyang will be decorated with lights and colorful flowers.
Emperor Wu will also be attending this year's Flower Fair, so it is particularly eye-catching.
Of course Meng Qingshan knew about such important events, but he didn't understand what it had to do with his promotion to a noble position. Even if he was the first in the competition, the oiran could only win a good fortune at most.
So Liang Xuan explained to Meng Qingshan that Emperor Wu would be attending the flower fair this year, and everyone else must be peonies. If Meng Qingshan could make the epiphyllum bloom at the flower fair, then he would definitely attract Emperor Wu's attention.
However, epiphyllum alone is not enough to attract people’s attention. If it is an epiphyllum that has not yet bloomed, it will open up under Liang Xuan’s arrangement, and it will amaze the whole audience. By then, all flowers will be eclipsed. After all, nothing is more beautiful than an epiphyllum blooming. time.
After hearing this, Meng Qingshan also found it interesting, but when he thought about it carefully, it was impossible for this epiphyllum to bloom in this month. Even if it had a flowering period, it would be very short, let alone letting the epiphyllum bloom instantly at the flower party. It was unrealistic to think about it. of fantasy.
But Liang Xuan swore that as long as he did as he said, he would be able to amaze everyone.
Half a month later, the flower party was held as scheduled, and Meng Qingshan also participated as scheduled under Liang Xuan's arrangement.
Originally, all the people attending the flower party were relatives of the emperor, important ministers and nobles. Small county magistrates like Meng Qingshan could only watch and had no chance of participating.
But what he didn't know was that Liang Xuan had already been liaising with him a few months ago, and he made all the officials in charge of the flower party obey him. That's why Meng Qingshan was lucky enough to participate.
He was also the last one to appear according to Liang Xuan's arrangement. When Meng Qingshan looked at the dazzling peonies all over the place, his pot of unflowered epiphyllum seemed out of place. At this time, Meng Qingshan was also a little nervous. If this epiphyllum failed to bloom for a while, As soon as he realized that, let alone being promoted to a higher position, it was hard to say whether he would still be a leader in this field.
But at this moment, Meng Qingshan was already a duck. Being caught up by Liang Xuan, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Meng Qingshan stood on the flower stand holding the epiphyllum. When he saw Emperor Wu, he also pretended to be neither humble nor overbearing. Then he said some words of praise and flattery taught him by Liang Xuan, which meant that this pot of epiphyllum was blessed by the Buddhist monk. Yes, it can only be opened after seeing the Holy Lord of Heaven.
Although Emperor Wu didn't react much after saying this, he was still very pleased with it, but the epiphyllum was not in full bloom, so the effect naturally did not appear.
It was not until Emperor Wu frowned that the epiphyllum did not match what he said. Meng Qingshan slowly placed the epiphyllum on the stage and knelt down and shouted "Long live my emperor, long live the epiphyllum." At this time, the epiphyllum suddenly bloomed. , and the blooming epiphyllum, which also imitated Meng Qingshan's kowtow movements, also lowered its head slightly.
When Wu Zetian saw it, he was also very happy. This epiphyllum was rare to see, let alone the moment it bloomed. With the epiphyllum bowing its head, Emperor Wu was also very happy.
In the end, Meng Qingshan undoubtedly won the title of Oiran. Since this pot of epiphyllum was deeply loved by Emperor Wu, he took it back to the palace and rewarded Meng Qingshan with a hundred taels of silver. After learning that he was just a county magistrate, Emperor Wu He also opened an entrance and made him a court official, with a rank of five.
Meng Qingshan was so surprised that he was speechless. He did not expect that his life would take off in an instant because of a pot of flowers.
After that, Meng Qingshan enshrined Liang Xuan in his family as if he were his ancestor. Later, Liang Xuan became Meng Qingshan's "biological father" and obeyed Liang Xuan's words. In this way, Meng Qingshan also rose through the ranks step by step, until he finally became the Ministry of Household Affairs. The official residence of Shangshu is the first grade.
Then again, Meng Qingshan never figured out how this epiphyllum bloomed in an instant until his death.
All he knew was that the moment he knelt down, he poured down the small bottle of liquid Liang Xuan gave him. As for what the water was, he didn't know.
It turned out that what Liang Xuan thought at the time was something he himself thought was impossible. However, Liang Xuan, who made friends with the outside world all day long, also met a wandering monk one day. The monk told Liang Xuan that he once lived in a village in Guangxi Province. In Lingshan, a kind of holy water with the aura of heaven and earth was found. This water can make plants grow instantly as long as it meets plants. It really has the effect of carrying great virtues.
When Liang Xuan heard this, he was instantly overjoyed, and then he and the wandering monk went there again at night. Sure enough, it was like the wandering monk owned it, and the spring water here was really like water.
Hearing this, Su He seemed to think of something, and then suddenly said: "Gui Province? Could it be the Ten Thousand Spirits True Spring in Guanyin Pavilion?"
When Liang Lingyan heard this, she also smiled and said to Su He: "I don't know what it is called, but I am sure that Ruoshui is in the Huanyin Pavilion. After all, not many outsiders have entered the Huanyin Pavilion in the past few years."
After saying that, Liang Lingyan looked at Huan Xin with a smile. After all, Huan Xin had been to Huanyin Pavilion and he knew about it.
Huan Xin was also surprised when he heard that Ruoshui was in Huanyin Pavilion, and that Huanyin Pavilion was now Langhuan Paradise.
But after thinking about it, the places that Huanyin Pavilion is interested in must also be some paradise. Since Ruoshui is in Huanyin Pavilion, Huan Xin still has some confidence. After all, he is kind to Shushan. How can Ouyang Qingxue not do it? You have to give me some face.
Huan Xin also understood why Liang Lingyan said before that Ruoshui would be related to him. It turned out that the person related to him was not Ruoshui, but Huanyin Pavilion!
Speaking of the Huanyin Pavilion, Huan Xin really has a lot to do with the Huanyin Pavilion, whether it is from Ouyang Qingxue in Shushan, or from the great grandfather Ouyang Sangzi, or even the elder brother cured Leng Ruoxi last time Legs, this Huanyin Pavilion is inextricably related to Beiming.
So Huan Xin also felt that Ruoshui should not be difficult to obtain.
Huan Xin thought about it for a long time and knew that Ruoshui must not be an ordinary thing, so Huan Xin decided to contact Shushan first. After all, he had a better relationship with the stupid young man in Shushan. Qingxin also thought that if Wei Xuanhe of Shushan If you don't understand this matter, then you will never have any contact with this person in the future. After all, you rarely ask for help.
When the phone call came, Huan Xin explained the matter without any nonsense. As a result, Wei Xuanhe on the other side of the phone couldn't hear clearly what Huan Xin was saying after listening for a long time. He only said that he had been practicing martial arts recently and his ears were not working well. Fortunately, the master Ouyang Qingxue took the call. When she heard Qing Xin's request, Ouyang Qingxue was also stunned. What surprised her was not where Qing Xin heard about Ruoshui, but that Qing Xin actually opened his mouth and asked for it. bucket.
Ouyang Qingxue also had a livid face, and said in embarrassment: "This Ruoshui is extremely precious, and only one is produced every hundred years. If the Ruoshui in our Huanyin Pavilion are put together, it may only be as much as a bottle of drink. You said it is one As for barrels, don’t say we don’t have them, even if we did we wouldn’t give you that many.”
