Chapter 205: The Draft
Kyoto is bustling during the day, with a dazzling array of vendors and shops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lian Youwan walked in the middle of the crowded street with great interest, and felt that everything around her was so novel and interesting. Yingling behind her kept muttering, "Sister, let's go back!" The prince said that it was very dangerous outside. And if that murderous brother finds out, he will definitely arrest the two of us. ”
"Murderous brother?" You Wan was stunned, and later realized that the 'fierce brother' in Yingling's mouth was the iceberg-faced Lan Feng, she patted her chest and said proudly, "Don't worry, I just dared to sneak out of the back door of the house because I knew that he went out with Ah Yan today." ”
Yingling's little face was almost wrinkled, "But we don't know each other here, what if we get lost?" ”
"It's because I'm not familiar that I have to come out! Have you been locked up in the house for so long? You Wan took the girl's hand and said softly, "Don't look ahead, I just want to go out for a walk, and then find a piano workshop to repair the piano, as soon as the piano is repaired, we will go back immediately, it will be fine!" ”
The guqin that You Wan was holding in her hand was the guqin given to her by Li Zhaoyan in Qi State at that time, and it was the beloved thing of his mother. But when they fled to Yiguo, they accidentally collided, and the strings loosened slightly, so she thought about sneaking out this time and finding a piano workshop to repair the piano.
But she didn't know that the person she was about to meet today, and what would happen would completely change her life.
The crown prince Li Zhaoyu and his personal guard Yue Xuan walked in a street south of the city, and both changed into ordinary civilian clothes to hide their identities.
Yue Xuan cautiously followed behind the crown prince and asked puzzledly: "Master, now that such a big thing has happened in the court, and the black gauze hats of the two Shangshu lords of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department are in danger, why didn't you discuss countermeasures with Prime Minister An Cheng, but ordered me to find the best piano workshop in the whole capital?" ”
"This scientific examination fraud case has caused a storm in the city, the emperor is really angry, and Lu Shiqing can't keep the position of the secretary of the ministry." The prince said with a cold face.
Yue Xuan asked, "That... Who will succeed Shangshu? Does the emperor have a candidate in mind? ”
Li Zhaoyu's eyes darkened, "My people came to report, I heard that the emperor belongs to Shi Chaiwu, who is the official of the ministry." ”
A look of horror quickly crossed Yue Xuan's face, and he said worriedly: "Chai Wu?!" This person has a close relationship with Wei Ming, the minister of Zhongshu Ling, and the two are the top three in the palace examination at the same time. Wei Ming is now clear that he is the person of King Ning, if he really makes this Chai Wu a secretary of the ministry, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up the ministry to King Ning? ”
The prince paused at his feet, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yue Xuan on the side. "That's why I asked you to find me the best piano shop."
Yue Xuan was slightly stunned, bowed his head and said, "Forgive my subordinates for being stupid and don't understand what the master means." ”
"Now there is only one person who can stop Chai Wu from sitting on the seat of the secretary of the ministry." The prince's face was calm, and the light in his eyes was like fireflies, "That's Zhou Wenhao!" ”
"Zhou Wenhao, the former secretary of the ministry? Lord Zhou is the cousin of the former empress, and he was indeed trusted by the emperor, but he suddenly resigned and returned to his hometown many years ago because of the former empress. How could the master have thought of this person? ”
"I got the news that he had returned to Kyoto a year ago, but he had been living in seclusion in Beijing as a commoner, playing with silk strings all day long, regardless of the government." The prince continued to walk slowly.
When Yue Xuan heard his master say this, his tangled brows finally relaxed. "So, master, you are looking for the piano workshop to do what you like, and invite Lord Zhou to go out of the mountain?"
"Not bad. Although Wen Hao is not my person this week, at least he is not the third brother's person. And because of the matter of the first queen, he will never become the third brother's person in the future! The sneer on the prince's face gradually deepened, his eyes were cold, and thousands of coldness shot in and out, and those two eyes were as sharp as two sharp blades.
"The master is really thoughtful. We're here! While talking, the two have come to a classical and magnificent piano workshop, the store space is also very spacious, there are not many customers, and when you walk into the store, you can see that the store displays various materials of large and small guqin.
The shopkeeper saw that the two of them were dressed luxuriously, and looked at the sons of rich families, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet the guests and said, "What do the two distinguished guests want?" ”
Yue Xuan didn't say a word, but just shouted so generously: "Take out all the most expensive and best pianos you have here!"
"Good class!" It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to hold a piano with a smile, and said as if introducing a baby: "This is the treasure of our store!" Look at the shade of this rosewood carving, the strings woven by silk this day, which can be called a rare treasure in the world! ”
The boss's earnest introduction did not satisfy Yue Xuan, he frowned and said, "Rosewood? Isn't it redwood? ”
"Huh? Sequoia? The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, hesitated for a long time before he said in a low voice, "You don't know, distinguished guest, although this redwood wood is precious, but there is no piano made of redwood wood in our store." ”
Yue Xuan grabbed the boss's collar with one hand and glared: "You are the largest piano workshop in Kyoto, you told me that you didn't have it?" Who are you fooling! Are you afraid that the old man can't afford to pay! ”
"No, no, no, that's not what the small one means. Can... However, "when the boss saw that the other party was angry, and looked like he was going to teach him a lesson, he immediately trembled with fright, and he couldn't even speak."
After entering the store, the prince has always remained silent, but seeing that Yue Xuan's violent temper was about to make things bigger, he wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but a soft female voice came from beside him.
"Although redwood is precious, it is not suitable for making a violin because of its heavy sound and low resonance."
It was Lian Youwu who happened to come to repair the piano who spoke. Originally, she sneaked out of the house, not wanting to meddle in her affairs and attract the attention of others, but seeing that the fierce man was so rude to the boss, he looked like an upstart, and she couldn't help but speak out at once.
Yue Xuan slowly let go of the boss, looked the two of you up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
You Wan smiled coldly and met Yue Xuan's suspicious eyes. "It's just an ordinary guest. Gifts pay attention to the heart, is different from person to person, do what they like, not blindly pursue precious. ”
Told by the girl's family, Yue Xuan felt a little unbearable on his face, and said angrily: "You know what..."
Unexpectedly, at this time, the prince suddenly stretched out his hand to interrupt Yue Xuan's scolding, and instead shook his humility at Youwan. "It seems that the girl has studied the piano theory quite a bit, and I asked the girl to give me some advice."
The prince looked at him coldly, stopped Yue Xuan's questioning, and replied calmly: "He is a man who is not confused in his old age, and he loves the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, so he is not burdened by the world, and he has no fixed place and no errands to make a living.
