Chapter 87 Golden Toad
Shen Mingjiao left the new house contentedly, and when Feng Lisheng came back after the banquet in the front yard, she always had a smile on her face.
Feng Lisheng gave her a strange look: "What is it that makes you so happy?"
After listening to Shen Mingjiao's ins and outs. He looked at her speechlessly, apparently not understanding what was so exciting about it.
Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Let's go home!"
Shen Mingjiao grabbed his sleeve: "Why don't we stay in the palace tonight!"
Feng Lisheng looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you suddenly want to live in the palace?"
Shen Mingjiao's eyes sparkled and she said authentically: "You forgot, we will accept tea from newcomers tomorrow. To save you from having to run back and forth tomorrow!"
Feng Lisheng obviously didn't want to drink this tea.
"We are considered elders, it doesn't matter if we don't go."
Shen Mingjiao said righteously: "How can I do that? To be an elder, you must have the self-consciousness of an elder."
She chuckled: "At that time, I will have to taste the tea served by my nephew and daughter-in-law."
Feng Lisheng looked at her helplessly. I really wanted to reach out and scrape the tip of her nose, but I moved my fingers, and finally retracted them discouraged.
Seeing the high spirits on her face, Feng Lisheng had to remind her: "Toasting tea is a greeting gift."
Shen Mingjiao: "What's so difficult?"
She touched her head and body back and forth, and finally pulled out a golden hairpin that looked shiny but was the least valuable. He held it in his hand and shook it back and forth, very proudly and authentically.
"For this little Aunt Huang, what's the point of sending a piece of jewelry?"
Feng Lisheng: "..." Forget it, as long as my princess is happy.
Since he wanted to stay in the palace for one night, Feng Lisheng took Shen Mingjiao to the palace where he lived when he was studying in Taixue.
Out of the East Palace, I turned around a few palace roads all the way, and when I looked up, I saw a seven-story tower standing in front of me. It was the library building in the palace, and it was also the tallest building in the capital.
Shen Mingjiao glanced casually, then narrowed her eyes, she seemed to see someone sitting on the top of the tower! The man seemed to be still pouring wine with his head up. Looking from a distance, he looked lonely and desolate.
Thinking that she was dazzled, she immediately tugged on Feng Li Sheng's sleeve, motioning him to look up.
Feng Lisheng raised his head following her gaze, then fixed his eyes, said "I'll go up and have a look", and planned to use his lightness kung fu to climb up to the top floor.
The people on the roof seem to be aware of something? He tilted his head and looked down. Then without waiting for Feng Lisheng to make a move. Then he used lightness kung fu and borrowed strength to slowly descend the tower.
When they got closer, Shen Mingjiao saw clearly that the person who came was wearing a black robe and a ghost mask, and it was Ming who should be recuperating in Su Wang's mansion.
Ming Ming seemed quite happy to see the two of them, and rarely greeted them in a friendly manner.
The expressions of the two people opposite were not very good, not to mention Feng Lisheng, even Shen Mingjiao stared at him warily.
"Isn't the Lord of the Ming Pavilion recuperating? Why did you come to the palace?"
After all, the imperial palace is not any other place. Under heavy guards, ordinary people cannot enter at all. It should be said that if there is nothing wrong, who would want to sneak into the palace!
Ming glanced at the two of them, and leaned against a pillar with his hands folded across his chest: "Don't look at me like that, you won't allow me to come to attend the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Shen Mingjiao obviously didn't believe it, but Feng Lisheng said directly: "The Lord of the Ming Pavilion went to the inner vault of the palace to find the golden toad."
Ming Wenyan didn't make any excuses, and admitted very straightforwardly: "Yes! But the guards guarding the inner treasury are so annoying that I almost confessed to being in this palace!"
Feng Lisheng glanced at him indifferently: "That's a master in the palace. Fortunately, you didn't really break in."
Ming raised his eyebrows slantingly: "How does Your Highness know that I didn't break in, maybe I have already got something by now?"
Feng Lisheng looked at him like an idiot:
"Master Ming thinks that if you really took something, you can still sit here and drink?"
Shen Mingjiao asked the two of them with a strange expression: "Is there really a golden toad in this world? I thought it was made up by the script?"
Ming replied naturally: "Of course, it is said that the golden toad is the holy medicine for detoxification."
Feng Lisheng glanced at Ming: "I don't know if there are golden toads in the world, but I can be sure that there is no inner treasury in the palace." It means don't waste your time.
Shen Mingjiao: "Why did the Master of the Underworld Pavilion look for the Golden Toad!"
Feng Lisheng replied to her: "A day ago, someone offered a reward. If anyone can find the golden toad, they will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver. Now the whole world is alarmed."
Shen Mingjiao was speechless when she heard that, "It seems that the person who offered the reward must not be an ordinary person, one hundred thousand taels, how willing it is!"
Ming felt that this was normal: "That is a holy medicine comparable to Tai Sui only in rumors, and its value cannot be measured by money at all."
Feng Lisheng drank a few more glasses at the banquet just now because he was out of breath, and at this time he happened to lean against a wall to let the cool wind blow away the alcohol.
Shen Mingjiao simply recruited the little **** who guarded the library to help bring some chairs over.
The little **** bowed down and prepared tea and snacks for them very attentively.
Shen Mingjiao casually rewarded the little **** with a piece of silver, sat down to eat a piece of snacks, and very interestedly asked Ming who was sitting opposite:
"It's okay now anyway, tell us some interesting things in the world!"
Ming raised his chin and tapped the empty teacup on one side. The meaning is self-evident. Shen Mingjiao filled him with tea very attentively.
Feng Lisheng coughed lightly: "Feng Wu and the others will report to me about some things in the Jianghu every once in a while." It means that it is better to ask me than to ask him.
So Shen Mingjiao handed the cup of tea to Feng Lisheng very simply.
Ming who was raising his hand to pick it up: "..."
