Sheng Shi stepped forward confidently and said, "This is Ge Guo's embroidered robe."
The county guard was surprised when he heard this, and then said with great interest: "Come and listen!"
Concubine Li Guifei and Su Jin also became curious. Zhong Zipan naturally didn't believe it and said: "Our Dasheng dynasty is unique in the world. How can we have things from other countries? Is Mr. Sheng just talking nonsense?"
The county guard interrupted Zhong Zipan and said, "Whether it is nonsense or not, we will judge it ourselves after Mr. Sheng finishes speaking. If it is wrong, it is not too late for you to evaluate Mr. Sheng's character!"
The implication is to shut up Zhong Zifan!
Sheng Shi nodded, thanked the county governor for his appreciation and support, and then talked about the origin of this Ge Guo embroidered Ge robe.
When did the Kingdom of Ge begin? It turns out that during the time of the ancient Xia Queen clan, the poor clan Hou Yi destroyed the ancient Xia Taikang and seized the world of the Xia Queen clan. However, Hou Yi indulged in drinking and hunting, and all the power of the dynasty fell to Hou Yi's minister Han. In Zhuo's hands, Han Zhuo killed Hou Yi and usurped his throne. Not only did he take away Hou Yi's throne, he also took away Hou Yi's wife and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son was named Chu and the younger was named Chi. (yi). Hanzhuo sealed the water in the place of "Guo" and the place of "Ge".
Later, Taikang's son Shaokang, the sheep-herding boy, got the support of the Xiahou clan, gathered an army, and sent the courtier's daughter, also two beauties, one named Ai and the other Xiuzhu to carry out the honey trap. Ai seduced Po, Xiuzhu seduced Chi, and then Shaokang, with the help of Neiying, destroyed the Ge Kingdom and regained the world of the Xia Hou clan. Yi's son Ru (bā) escaped from the palace, rushed to the Western Regions, and re-established the Ge Kingdom. This is the ancestor of the Ge Kingdom.
This embroidered Ge robe was a heavenly robe worn by Han Yu during his eight years of water control, and he wore it from winter to summer. It was passed on to Ru, and was used by thousands of people Nian Zhen is a national treasure.
After telling the origin of the embroidered Ge Pao, Sheng Shi smiled and looked at the dumbfounded people. Zhong Zipan still did not believe it and said: "Your allusion and story are very touching, but you have never told the story of the Embroidered Ge Pao." What are the similarities between the features and this brocade robe!"
Sheng Shi took the embroidered Ge robe, pointed to the pattern on it and said: "This thing is like a treasure, the needle and thread are gone, it has quality and writing, and it is lined with Chinese insects. It is neither a foreign towel Lu Li mistakenly recognized nor a cloth girl named it" Renovated. I can see that no trace has been woven away, and the brocade has captured the heavenly silk. It looks very new, and the temple is heavily painted on the mountain. The black crown is made by a god, and has the seal of Kong Lao Mu."
Every word Sheng Shi said confirmed that this brocade robe was an embroidered Ge robe, because all the patterns on it were exactly what Sheng Shi said.
After listening to Sheng Shi's analysis, the county magistrate slapped the case and said, "Talent!"
Zhong Zipan and others stared at the high-spirited Sheng Shi with evil eyes as if they had eaten sour lemons. Especially when Zhong Zipan saw Princess Sujin looking at Sheng Shi with admiration, she became even more angry.
Concubine Li also asked curiously: "Since you said this embroidered robe is a treasure, tell me what's so strange about it?"
Sheng Shi cupped his hands and reported back: "Reporting to your Majesty, this embroidered Ge bao is a national treasure of the kings of the Ge Kingdom. Wear it in midsummer, it is very cool and can escape the heat; in the middle of winter, wearing this garment can prevent cold and keep warm, just like the body." In spring, the miraculous thing about this embroidered Ge robe is that it does not burn when in the fire, does not get wet when in the water, and is insensitive to water and fire. It can keep the whole body safe. Wearing this treasure robe, you can go through fire and water, just like entering a land where there is no one. It is a A rare treasure."
The county guard smiled and said: "What a great Shengshi. He is really powerful and knowledgeable about the past and present. No wonder he will become the top scorer in the provincial examination of Mingjing Ke!"
Concubine Li was also attracted by Sheng Shi's erudition and calmness, and gradually became suspicious in her heart: Sheng Shi is so outstanding, how could Sheng Guoer be a treacherous villain? If there was such a sister, how could Sheng Shi be so honest? point? If Sheng Guoer is not a good person, how can her brother be so good?
The county guard said: "Since Sheng Shi's words are accurate, then I will fulfill my promise and give this brocade robe to Sheng Shi!"
Sheng Shi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Young man is shapeless and has little knowledge. This is all he has learned. What he said just now is just a trick. I have failed to receive the gift from the county governor. I dare not accept this precious gift!"
The Sheriff smiled and twirled his beard and said, "I have made up my mind, so don't refuse anymore!"
Sheng Shi could only accept the embroidered Ge robe amidst the envious and jealous eyes of all the students.
Concubine Li had no choice but to say: "I mean what I said just now. Could you please be my guide for my daughter tomorrow?"
Su Jin blushed with embarrassment and looked at Sheng Shi quietly.
Sheng Shi said with a slight embarrassment: "I'm here to take your orders!"
Zhong Zipan couldn't sit down any longer, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Sheriff, I'm not feeling well, please go back first!"
The county guard waved his hand and didn't say much, his eyes full of impatience.
How could Zhong Zipan not see what the governor meant? Then he walked away angrily.
It is said that Shengshi made a great show at the Qionglin Banquet, and it became a good story. Shengshi was bestowed with favors and honors, and he was very happy. After the banquet was over, he went out proudly holding his embroidered robe. The other students all praised him and congratulated him.
Zhong Zipan was the only one who was not happy. He was unhappy to see Sheng Shi receiving such favor at the Qionglin Banquet today.
He also loves this rare treasure. He complains that the governor is partial. He hates that Sheng Shi actually stole his limelight and even killed him. What's even more annoying is that Sheng Shi actually took it away. After winning the favor of Princess Sujin, I thought that Sheng Shi would be eliminated because of his unique strategy, but after a hundred secrets were revealed, the deacon of the academy was ruined.
Therefore, as soon as Zhong Zipan returned to his apartment, he ordered some ruffians to teach the academy deacons a lesson.
The academy deacon was beaten so badly that he was unable to work at the academy for several months, but the attacker has not been found until now.
It was because of this embroidered robe that he got into endless trouble.
Let's talk about the fact that Sheng Shi returned to the Sheng family with an embroidered robe. Shen had long heard about her son's display of prowess at the Qionglin Banquet. Instead of being arrested and imprisoned, he was blessed with a gift. It was a great joy. Mrs. Shen prepared the incense table, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to thank the gods. Then she placed the embroidered robe in her ancestral home, burned incense and candles, offered sacrifices to her ancestors, and honored the gift. Sheng Guoer was naturally happy for his younger brother's growth. He often opened the East Pavilion to entertain relatives and friends to celebrate the gift of the robe. These relatives and friends all heard that the young hero Sheng Shi was gifted the robe at the Qionglin Banquet. , was about to come to the Sheng family to congratulate him, and he also came to appreciate it.
Today I saw Sheng Guoer sincerely inviting me, so naturally they all arrived one after another. But I saw a couch set up in the hall of Sheng Guoer's private residence. The couch was decorated with five colors to form a tent, and the word "favor" was tied with colorful ribbons and hung inside the tent. A long table was placed in front of the tent. On the table, there is a copper eight-treasure owl-kissed incense burner case, and a prayer mat is spread in front of the incense table.
When relatives, friends and civil and military colleagues of the Meng family and the Sheng family arrive at the Sheng family, they must first bow in front of the incense table and look at the word "favor". This is to show respect for the county governor, and then turn around to congratulate the Sheng family. Then he slowly walked to the tent and looked at the embroidered robe carefully. This piece of embroidered Geba is indeed a rare treasure. From a distance, there is nothing strange about it, and there are no traces of jade hand-weaving or sewing.
It is the hot weather in May right now, and the heat in other places is unbearable, but if you sit in the main hall with embroidered robes, you will immediately feel the breeze blowing, as if the climate in the hall is still the Mid-Autumn Festival, just a mosquito Not a single fly came.
Relatives, friends, civil and military colleagues all admired this embroidered robe. Zhong Zipian looked at it from the sidelines, and became more and more angry. He felt resentful in his heart and wished he could snatch it away, so he followed his wish.
In the evening, when the Sheng family's banquet was over and the guests dispersed, Sheng Guoer put away his precious embroidered robe and walked back to the back hall, where the maids and servants were cleaning up in front.
Sheng Guoer called Sheng Shi and said, "You are lucky that the governor appreciates you, and you can also travel with Princess Sujin, the daughter of Concubine Li. This is a great favor. You must seize the opportunity." !”
Sheng Shi nodded and said: "Brother, I will keep my sister's words in mind. I will definitely make full use of my talents and make progress when traveling with Princess Sujin and Concubine Li tomorrow!"
Sheng Guoer looked at Sheng Shi, comforted in her heart, and said, "Go!"
Sheng Shi nodded, turned and left.
At this time, Meng Xingzhou came over and saw that Sheng Guoer's expression suddenly turned worried after seeing Sheng Shi away. He stepped forward and asked, "We are so happy today, why do you still look worried?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Today's great joy will definitely arouse jealousy. Moreover, I am very strange why Zhong Zipan would frame Sheng Shi. What is even more strange is that according to normal logic, it is impossible for Concubine Li to let go of Zhong Zipan who framed others. coil!"
Meng Xingzhou said, "Do you suspect that Concubine Li has some kind of connection with the Zhong family?"
Sheng Guoer nodded and said, "We can let Lu Wanqing check this matter. By the way, I have another thing to worry about!"
Meng Xingzhou pondered: "Are you worried about my brother Meng Heyou?"
Sheng Guoer raised her eyebrows and wondered why Meng Xingzhou knew what I was thinking. She immediately wanted to test Meng Xingzhou and said, "The governor's gift is so high and thick. It's okay for the rest of our family. Only my brother Meng Heyou has always been He is a sneaky master who likes to bully others. Although he has restrained himself recently, his petty personality and love for taking advantage have not changed. Are you worried that he will bully others by using his power to bully the squires and good people? Is it our family reputation?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Yes, I'm just worried that this friend Meng He will make a big fuss out of this. Why don't you write a letter and send the couple to the tea garden to live in the tea garden on the grounds of raising a baby for the Wang family? Give him money every day to help take care of the tea garden, and in this way, maybe a lot of trouble will be reduced!"
Meng Xingzhou nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Zixuan and Hu Yanxin live near the tea garden. If Meng Heyou does anything wrong, Hu Yanxin can punish him on the spot!"
Sheng Guoer said: "I hope Meng Heyou will not have such a problem!"
Meng Xingzhou said: "Of course I hope Meng Heyou will not have such a problem, but the nature of a country is easy to change and hard to change, so it is better to take precautions first!"
Sheng Guoer nodded, but Meng Xingzhou could see that she still had some worry on her face, and he didn't know what she was worried about.
