Chapter 113: Successful Recognition of the Master
The night is deep.
Before Zhen Su rested, she continued to study the Phoenix Plate. She tried to split it up, but it looked like a plate no matter how you looked at it. However, Chunfeng said that it was a command talisman and an official seal, and a plate was just a plate, so how could it become an official seal?
Chunfeng and Chunyu were very efficient in their work. Recently, whatever she ordered would be done very quickly. She also knew a lot about the Supervisory Department of Daqi. The legendary Dragon Guard and Phoenix Guard were used to train talents for the Supervisory Department. The most outstanding Tongzhengshi and Tongzhengsi officials in Daqi came from these two guards.
The best and most outstanding ones must be the guards of the Supervisory Department or one of the twelve envoys. The second-best ones will enter the Tongzheng Department, and the twelve envoys of the Supervisory Department can be transferred to Tongzheng Envoys. However, the twelve envoys of the Supervisory Department are in the dark, while the Tongzheng Envoy is in the light. Once their identities are exposed, they will go from the dark to the light.
The Supervisory Department was in charge of the Tongzhengsi in various places. On the surface, the Tongzhengsi belonged to the Censorate headed by the Censor, but in fact it also took orders from the Supervisory Department.
She has been studying the Phoenix Pendant for several days. It was the coming-of-age gift bestowed upon her by the Emperor.
She had never even met the emperor, but he directly awarded her the official position of Supervisory Envoy. Could it be that the emperor knew that she was a rare talent?
Emperor Dezhi: I believe in the hexagrams of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.
Zhen Su touched every part of the plate countless times. In this time and space, there was also a great master of the Mohist School. Could it be said that it was like a mechanical device? But no matter how you looked at it, it was just a plate. How could you find any concave or convex parts? He didn't know how many times he had scratched and pressed it with his hands.
Zhen Su failed again. She narrowed her eyes, knocked and tapped it, but it was obviously just a sign. How about something fantasy?
Thinking of this, she looked at her finger, put it in her mouth, and was about to bite it, but it was too painful. She found an embroidery needle and pierced her finger. There was too little blood, so she used the needle to prick it, and immediately a drop of bright red blood gushed out, as red as a plum. She dripped the blood into the phoenix's eyeball. Why did she drip it into the eye? Zhen Su felt that although the eyeball was golden, it was obviously a golden pearl embedded in it.
The golden pearl began to spin, and the blood that had just dripped disappeared. Wow, this is really what fantasy novels call "blood recognition by dripping". It seems like this was just a coincidence.
Crunch——
The Phoenix badge began to change, its shape dispersed. A seven-tailed phoenix separated from the Phoenix badge and turned into a small phoenix sculpture. The other part of the badge was still decomposing, a word, a stroke, a piece. How did the badge, which was clearly made of pure gold, turn into a bracelet, a golden official seal, and a piece of silk the size of an A4 paper?
The light silk is something you can see but cannot touch. It is the light emitted from the golden beads on the bracelet. The light silk explains how to use the Phoenix Card and its several variations. The first step is to drip blood to seal the pact; the second step is to learn several hand seals to open and use it, and it also comes with a cultivation method; the third step, the Phoenix Card can be transformed into two forms: a token and a bracelet...
Isn’t this the Phoenix token made with Mohist mechanical technology?
This is not scientific. According to the drawings, explanations and analysis in the instructions, this can be used as a storage box with a size of one foot cubic meter.
The bracelet is three inches wide and is engraved with auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix, with a gold bead embedded in the middle, as if the dragon and phoenix are dancing around the gold bead.
It’s clearly a Phoenix brand, so why is there a dragon pattern?
After she memorized the hand seals and the mantras of the mental method, the light silk disappeared, and the golden pearls looked like the most common red gold beads. The silver ring on her wrist had golden dragon and phoenix patterns inlaid on it, and the patterns seemed to be embedded in the silver ring.
The official seal was a two-inch square made of red gold. On it was a seven-tailed phoenix, exactly the same as the phoenix seen on the token earlier, and the words "Da Qi Supervisory Office" were engraved on it.
Zhen Su followed the instructions on the blueprint, learned the mental method, and became familiar with the hand seal. The first step was to store the official seal in the bracelet space, and then take it out from the space. It was difficult to store it, and it was also difficult to take it out. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The more times he tried, the higher the success rate, from one success in ten times at the beginning to two successes in ten times later.
While I was practicing repeatedly with great concentration, I heard a cry from outside: "Sister, wuwu...sister..."
She suddenly opened her eyes, thinking it was a dream, when the gate of Tingyuxuan was knocked loudly.
"Sister, open the door..."
Su Qinnan was crying, her cries were filled with anger, unwillingness, and even despair.
Zhen Su sat up and said, "Chun Yue, go open the door."
When Zhen Su dressed and came out to the flower hall, Su Qinnan was crying loudly in the hall, and the maid who came with her was standing by her side with her hands hanging down.
"Sister, I got the Mingzhu Society's name card based on my own ability, but Dad asked me to give it to the girl from the Jiangnan Su family. Why? Woohoo... I won't give it to her. This is my name card. How can I get into the Mingzhu Society if I give it to the girl from the Jiangnan Su family?
I thought that such things would only happen to the Mao family and the Lou family..."
Zhen Su thought something had happened, but he didn't expect that Su Qinnan was asked to give up her business card to the Jiangnan Su family. Su Qinnan loved to compete with others. In order to enter the Mingzhu Society, she memorized the "Couplet Collection" with great effort and care. She finally passed the assessment, but now she was asked to give up her business card. No one would be happy about this.
Zhen Su said: "If you don't want to give it, then don't give it."
Su Qinniang stopped crying. "My parents told me that they would send me to the Su family in Jiangnan tomorrow morning. They said that I didn't learn the rules well, and they wanted me to be raised by the wife of the Su family's leader..."
"Letting you go to Jiangnan Su's?" Zhen Su couldn't hide his surprise. "Is this what your uncle wants?"
"I don't know, but that's what my parents said. Even if I return the Mingzhu Society's business card to Princess Changle, I won't give it to Miss Su at a low price."
The Jiangnan Su family had long since split from the Beijing Su family and even built their own family tree. Why are you still interfering in their affairs?
Ever since Su Mo came to Yueyang Prefecture, he not only instructed her father and brothers to do things, but now he is also involving the Mingzhu Society's business card in her hand.
No! She just won’t give it to me!
This time, no matter who pleads for her, she will not give up her business card.
Zhen Su said in a warm voice: "Seventh sister, it's late at night, you go back and rest first, I will go find grandpa now."
"Sister, will grandfather listen to you? I don't want to give up my name card and go to Jiangnan. I don't know anyone in the Su family in Jiangnan. Although there are my second uncle and third uncle in the third branch of the family, they are my step-great-grandmother's children. They treated grandfather badly in the early years. Who knows how they will treat me when I go there."
If it's not good to be at home with your own parents, why do you have to go to someone else's home?
Zhen Su said, "If you don't listen to my advice, I won't ask my grandfather for mercy and will go back first."
"I want to see my sister go find grandfather."
Su Qinnan was about to go to bed tonight, but was shocked when her parents came to find her and told her what had happened.
Cui was a married woman who obeyed her husband. After her husband's analysis of what Su Qiniang had done today, she was frightened. The Su family had no jewelry or clothes, and a hairpin could help outsiders plot against their own family. She heard from Su Shao that Su Wan was plotted against by her own family and outsiders, otherwise she would not have died young.
