I didn't intend to be a Fairy

The Taoist and the cat returned home, went upstairs to sleep, and slept until the afternoon.

With the windows closed and the curtains drawn, some light came in, but not much, making the upstairs room dim and gloomy, and a few rays of light came in from the gap between the edge of the window and the curtains that could not be closed tightly, reflecting intermittent lines of light spots on the ground. This environment seemed to be better than sleeping at night. I opened my eyes a few times in the middle, looked up at this picture, and couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, and then I fell asleep again.

After waking up in the afternoon, just after washing, the people from the yamen came.

It was still the official, the old elder and the prisoner, leading the villager and several villagers of Taohua Village, but the attitude last time was respectful enough, and this time it was much more respectful.

Song You only said that it was Mistress Sanhua who did the work and had nothing to do with him, so he asked them to talk to Mistress Sanhua.

He went to pour tea for them.

This is the way of hospitality.

I saw Empress Sanhua sitting on the main seat, she was small, but she looked decent. The people in the yamen and Taohua village in front of her were all respectful to her, whether they complimented her or thanked her. On the surface, she was calm and showed no expression at all, but in fact, her heart was already in a turbulent state, and her breathing rhythm was chaotic.

"Everyone, drink tea."

At this time Song You also poured tea and handed it to them.

"Thank you sir."

"Sure enough, the gods are born with great disciples. Mistress Sanhua has such supernatural powers at such a young age. It is really amazing, and it also solved another difficulty for my Chang'an County jurisdiction." The yamen official first took a cup of tea and handed it to Mistress Sanhua respectfully, "I also invite Mistress Sanhua to drink tea first."

The little girl nodded calmly, took the teacup, and took a sip.

"This is the reward from the yamen."

The official took out a red cloth, opened it, and saw that there were three pieces of honeycomb silver around the waist, all in the style of twelve taels.

Seeing this, the villagers quickly offered their rewards.

The little girl quickly put the teacup back on the table, wiped her hands on her body, and took the money with both hands.

"Although it's not a chaotic time today, Changjing is prosperous and mixed with fish and dragons, and there are often monsters and strange things. Mistress Sanhua and Mr. Zhang stay in Changjing, which is my blessing in Changjing. If there are monsters in the future, I will trouble Mistress Sanhua a lot."

"Um!"

The little girl's face was fair and cold, she didn't talk much, she just nodded with a hum.

A tall cat style.

But the Taoist who had been sitting by the side and watching them with a smile couldn’t help but said, “Exorcising evil spirits and doing good for the people is my duty as a practitioner. Naturally, I can’t refuse this kind of thing. But firstly, my children are busy with their studies and can’t be too tired. Second, we can’t stay in Changjing for long, and Changjing’s exorcising evil and demons can’t be done by us alone. , you should find other folk experts to try."

"understand."

The official nodded repeatedly.

If I remember correctly, it was the same way when this immortal master stayed in Changjing three years ago.

Exorcise evil spirits and cast down demons, but only pick the most difficult ones.

Now that I think about it, it’s not like Tong’er is busy with his studies and can’t be too tired. He obviously wants to do good to the people, and he doesn’t want to compete with those bold warriors or folk gentlemen passed down from generation to generation.

This is the demeanor of a godly master.

"Speaking of which, we came back from outside the city and slept until now. We haven't eaten breakfast yet, and we are planning to go out to eat something. You are hungry, so you want to eat something together?"

"Dare not dare."

"Then don't bother Mr. Qing."

Several people put down their teacups one after another, bid farewell and left.

Song You smiled and looked at his cat.

Only then did the little girl show an expression on her face, but she frowned immediately, glanced at the teacup in front of her, and raised her head to complain to the Taoist:

"Bitter Chirp..."

He smashed his mouth twice, opened his eyes wide again, lifted the red cloth wrapping the money on the table layer by layer, picked up the money and counted them.

"Look, the mouths of humans and cats are really different. Humans don't feel bitter when they drink tea, but feel like water instead, while drinking alcohol is bitter, bitter and astringent, and they will get dizzy and vomit after drinking it. Mistress Sanhua feels like water after drinking it, and there is nothing wrong after drinking it." Song You walked up to her and sat down beside her, looking at her who was counting the money seriously, and said, "It's completely the opposite."

"It's the complete opposite~"

The little girl repeated his words instinctively, but now her attention was all on silver.

"I have an idea."

"What idea?"

The little girl was holding a piece of silver. Due to the poor casting process, it was full of dense holes. She lifted it up and looked at it carefully, as if she wanted to drill her eyes in to see what was inside. Hearing this, she couldn't help temporarily withdrawing her gaze that was about to drill in, and lowered her head to stare at the Taoist priest seriously.

"Tea is more expensive than water, but Mistress Sanhua feels bitter when she drinks it, so it's better not to drink it."

"It's better not to drink!"

The little girl couldn't agree more.

"It's the same." The Taoist paused, "Wine is more expensive than tea, but Empress Sanhua drinks it like water, so it's better not to drink it."

"It's better not to drink!"

"Then next time I pour wine for Empress Sanhua, I won't pour wine for Empress Sanhua, but sweet water instead. Empress Sanhua, please don't think that I am treating Empress Sanhua differently. If someone else pours wine for Empress Sanhua, Empress Sanhua will say that she is young and it is fine not to drink."

"I know, I know……"

Empress Sanhua finished her answer almost perfunctorily, and quickly raised the silver to look at it again.

The Taoist nodded, saving another matter.

The reward was received, and the candied haws were also bought.

Thanks to Mistress Sanhua's high salary, the Taoist and the cat lived well in the capital for the next few days.

...

Before I knew it, it was Dongyue.

An eunuch came to Liushu Street and sent an invitation for a night banquet in the emperor's palace.

The Taoist agreed, and after a few days, after tidying up according to the time, he brought Empress Sanhua into the palace with the eunuch.

The official banquets of the Dayan royal family are usually at noon, and the big banquets for officials, celebration banquets, etc. are all at noon. If it is a night banquet, it is either private in nature, or more entertaining in nature.

It was dusk when Song You entered the palace.

The imperial palace is the same as it was seen a few years ago, almost unchanged, showing the amazing architectural beauty to Taoists under the reflection of the setting sun.

When I arrived at Changle Palace, I saw the emperor, but the emperor was much older than three years ago.

Song You couldn't help but stop and looked at him.

Sometimes people get old, maybe in those one or two years, although I haven't seen the old emperor for three and a half years, but now he is full of gray hair, old, and has changed a lot. I can only sigh, no one in this world can stand against time.

The old emperor was the first to greet him.

"Sir, you can count..."

Then the Taoist withdrew his eyes and emotion, stood calmly on the spot, raised his hand and gave a salute:

"I have seen His Majesty."

"The national teacher is not in Changjing, and I'm not in good health. I didn't even know that my husband had returned to Beijing. I invited Chen Ziyi to the palace for a night talk some time ago. After listening to him, I realized that I had taken care of my health, so I dared to invite him to the banquet in the palace, so as not to show him a joke." Like an ordinary old man, the old emperor stood in front of the Taoist and looked up at him.

"Your Majesty has changed a lot."

There was some embarrassment in the Taoist's words.

The servants in the nearby palace heard this, and couldn't help casting their gazes at the Taoist. If such words were said from others, they would have been reprimanded.

Now the emperor had clearly given orders, but no one dared to speak.

The old emperor was not angry at all, but was filled with emotion.

"I am old."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm in the world, who can not be old?"

"Sir, please sit down."

The old emperor personally welcomed him to his seat.

In addition to the chief seat at the top, there were three desks below. On one side was only one desk, on which sat a long-bearded official who was Dayan's prime minister. On the other side, two desks were very close together. Besides Song You, there was also one for Sanhua Empress, but Song You still asked Sanhuamao to sit next to him.

Sanhuamao is also very honest, sitting obediently at the feet of the Taoist, staring up at the emperor.

"The cat in Mr.'s house hasn't changed either."

Hearing the emperor's voice on the throne, Mao'er's expression changed obviously, as if he didn't agree with it.

The emperor was old and hoped that he would not change.

Cats are young, but they hope to grow up fast.

Song You naturally knew what she meant, so he smiled and said to the emperor: "How can people see the change of the cat?"

"That's true."

"I don't know where the national teacher is?"

"National teacher, although the national teacher is my national teacher, he is also a person who practices Taoism just like the master." The emperor said, "The national teacher has handled state affairs for many years, and now he is going to deal with things other than the mortal world?"

"Is it the matter of Yeshan in Fengzhou?"

"Exactly."

"I see."

Song You's eyes drooped slightly.

There were still rich delicacies on the table, even richer than last time. He kept a few dishes that he liked last time, and replaced some dishes that he didn't like last time and ate very little.

The emperor toasted him, and the Taoist advised him to drink less.

The two sides ate and talked, talking about the great victory in the north, talking about history and talking about the present, as if they were not the emperor and the Taoist, but two idlers on the river. Even the cat was affected by it. After eating enough, he lay down at the feet of the Taoist for a while, then stretched, and walked around the palace at will, letting the two speak incomprehensible words. But the contents of their conversations are indeed all great things, and this place is indeed the Dayan Palace and the center of the world.

"The deeds of Master Fuyang back then are still spread among the people of Dayan, and the deeds of Mr. Fuyang along the way may have to be spread for many years."

"Maybe."

"Since Mr. helped me get rid of the monsters in the Saibei Army in the north, I think I also know a little about Zhenbei Army and General Chen, cough, cough..." The old emperor couldn't help coughing, and the eunuch standing beside him hurriedly came over to care about him, but he waved him away, and then continued to talk to Song You, "Mr. has been back to Beijing for a month. I must have heard about some things. I don't know what you think about it?"

The emperor leaned forward slightly and looked at him beseechingly.

Finally got down to business.

Song You thought that at today's banquet, the emperor only talked about ghosts, gods and history with him, and didn't ask about political affairs and common people, so it was just a taste of the royal meal.
