You are my golden finger

Chapter 118 The Divine Chapter You Don’t Understand (1)

The cold wind blew tiny snowflakes straight into the car curtains, bringing a bit of chill.

Several of them were martial artists, and although there was no charcoal basin in the car, they did not feel cold.

"Sister, isn't Kyoto further south than Shiziwo? Why does it feel colder than Shiziwo?" Xingcheng asked puzzledly.

"How did Shiziwo get its name?" Lin Xijin did not answer his question directly.

"Oh, I understand. Shiziwo is not so cold in winter because of the protection of the mountains, which blocks the wind like a screen." Xihui answered with sudden enlightenment.

Several people nodded in agreement. Yes, although the mountains are often obstacles, they are also their wings. The protection of the mountains and the blessings are endless, this is what Shiziwo is talking about.

When they arrived at the palace gate, a young eunuch was already waiting. The group followed the young eunuch to the Qinzheng Hall.

The morning court had not yet dispersed, and the young eunuch asked everyone to wait in the side hall while he went to report to Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao quickly got the news and led them into the Qinzheng Hall.

Lin Xijin glanced at the palace from the corner of her eyes. There were quite a few people attending the court, at least hundreds of them. The palace was magnificent, with red carpets on the jade steps, extending all the way to the emperor's dragon throne standing on the central axis. At this moment, the emperor, wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon throne with a calm and majestic look.

"Your humble servant bows to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!" The group knelt down and kowtowed.

"Everyone loves you."

Several people hurriedly stood up, but just as they stood up, they immediately knelt down again, because Eunuch Gao immediately read out the imperial edict to confer the title.

This imperial edict commended Lin Xijin for inventing movable type printing, donating high-yield grain, building charity schools and medical schools, developing cement to pave cement roads, and donating the income to the national treasury, etc. In fact, it was the one that Eunuch Gao read out in Shiziwo, and now it was just read again in front of all the court officials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" After Eunuch Gao finished reading, Lin Xijin and his group hurriedly thanked the Emperor for his reward.

The emperor announced that he would hold a palace banquet tomorrow night to reward Lin Xijin and her party. Then he adjourned the court without reading out the imperial decree granting the marriage. It seemed that Murong Xu had persuaded him to stop, and Lin Xijin breathed a sigh of relief.

Also feeling relieved were many selfish court officials who still had fantasies about a certain prince or their own daughters.

After the court session, Murong Xu asked An Yi to send someone to escort Xihui and others back first, while he took Lin Xijin to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager.

When they arrived at Yining Palace, they found that the Queen and Princess Yuehe were also there. Lin Xijin was about to kneel down to greet them, but Princess Yuehe came forward and hugged her.

“Sister Jin, didn’t my father exempt you from the kneeling ceremony? So don’t kneel anymore.” Princess Yuehe said affectionately.

"Sister Jin, thank you for the gift. I especially like the black pieces and the round candies, they are so delicious." Princess Yuehe is very outgoing and she is a chatterbox.

Lin Xijin knew that she was talking about chocolate, which was something that every girl loved.

"I'm glad you like it. I'll send it to you after you finish eating." Lin Xijin said.

"You naughty boy, let Jin'er sit down first and have a cup of tea before we talk." The Queen Mother scolded with a smile.

Several people drank tea, ate snacks, and listened to Lin Xijin talking about interesting things outside the palace. It was very lively. Murong Xu didn't know where he had gone.

"The Emperor has arrived!" Eunuch Gao's voice came from outside the door.

Several people greeted each other, and soon the empress dowager ordered the meal to be served. Murong Xu also accompanied them for lunch. After a short rest, Lin Xijin said goodbye and left the palace. Naturally, she received another wave of gifts.

In the evening, Xingwen and his friends came back from the store with a rather grim look on their faces. Lin Xijin did not ask about it at the dinner table, fearing that Xihui and others would hear and cause unnecessary worry.

"Xingwen, what's wrong? Is the business in the store in trouble?" Even after dinner, Lin Xijin asked Xingwen behind everyone's back.

"Sister Jin, there is no problem with the store business. It's just that there are some bad rumors outside. Those people dug up all your affairs and exaggerated them. They said that you came back to life, were possessed by evil spirits, knew witchcraft, could drive fire and strike lightning, and were a witch who was especially good at confusing people." Xingwen was filled with indignation.

"Xingwen, justice is in the hearts of the people. There is no need for you to be angry with those people with ulterior motives. We just need to do our own thing well." Lin Xijin knew that Xingwen was protecting his reputation and comforted him.

"I understand, Sister Jin." Xingwen still couldn't muster up interest.

In the evening, Murong Xu also came home, his face also looked a little sour. It was obvious that he had heard the rumors outside and was angry.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so grim? Did I piss you off?" Lin Xijin joked.

"Stinky Jin'er, do you still have any conscience? I'm worried about you, and you still have the mind to make jokes!" Murong Xu tickled her and pretended to be angry.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! There is nothing to worry about. But do you have any idea who did these things?"

"My men have found out the results. The assassination was done by the Fifth Prince Murong Yan and his grandfather, Grand Tutor Zheng. They heard rumors in the court that my father wanted to make you the Crown Princess and didn't want me to have you as a helper. The burning of the inn and today's public opinion should have been done by Grand Tutor Zheng's granddaughter Zheng Wanyin." Murong Xu said.

Lin Xijin didn't care about the former, but focused on the latter, pretending to be angry and said: "It's all your fault. You should make her the Crown Princess and tell her not to mess with me."

"Good Jin'er, don't be angry. I haven't even said anything to her, how can I make her my concubine? Just wait and see how I deal with her tomorrow!"

How could Lin Xijin be really angry? The two of them talked sweetly to each other for the last time, whispering to each other and working out a countermeasure.

The next morning, there were many old men and women eating melon seeds and biting their ears in the streets and alleys.

"Hey, what happened to me? I slept well last night and then I had a dream. Goddess Guanyin was sitting on a lotus pod. She told me that Princess Jiahui was the reincarnation of the star Suzaku in the sky, and she came to the world specifically to transcend the calamity."

"Yes, I also had a dream. Guanyin Bodhisattva said that the world is in trouble and the princess came to the mortal world to save the people from disaster. You must not slander her, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

"Don't say it, I saw a fairy descend to the world..."

The storytellers in the teahouses were full of excitement, making this story sound plausible. They said that Guanyin enlightened him, he was reincarnated as a human, brought benefits to the village, saved the world and helped the people...

It is deified on the basis of a large amount of facts, and is even more exciting than the new book "Investiture of the Gods" some time ago.

Madam Wu, Madam Lin, and Shangguan Rui and his wife also came. They were very uneasy after hearing the rumors in the market yesterday, and they wished they had come here last night. But they didn't know when Lin Xijin would be able to come out after entering the palace, so they barely held back.

"Thank you for your concern. But you don't need to worry, just wait and see the show at the palace banquet tonight."

The last four people left with great curiosity, and naturally went back to prepare their clothes for the palace banquet.
