Chapter 236: Birthday Gift
Zhao Bojiu had been walking for a long time before Yu Chen reacted.
"Luo Shilang has been assigned to the Western Frontier!" Yu Chen pulled Rong Xi in disbelief.
"What do we have to do with the affairs of officialdom, do your own thing!" Rong Xi locked the jewelry again. Seeing Luo Yan's puzzled look, Rong Xi said that Luo Shilang was the judge of this year's autumn exam.
"That's strange, but he was punished at the end of the autumn exam." Luo Yan was a little surprised, "Is it because Xianggong won the first place in the show?" ”
"Impossible! Brother Rong Xi and I got a top and bottom ranking in the exam, and it seems that the exam is quite fair. Does that mean that Luo Shilang was wronged? ”
"Don't guess!" Rong Xi looked at the jewelry on the table that Zhao Bojiu named to give Rong Liniang and was a little worried. "What should I do about this?"
"Send it! The guest named to send it, of course we have to send it. Luo Yan asked Jiu'er to put the jewelry in the cabinet. But it's a bit of a rush to send it tomorrow. Luo Yan didn't know who to let deliver it, obviously the shop had just opened, and she couldn't leave for a while.
Luo Yan looked at Rong Xi, Rong Xi understood, "Let's go for a run!" By the way, let's see if I can take Jiao Niang to the dyeing workshop. ”
"Jiao Niang? Is that your show girl sister? ”
Rong Xi nodded, Yu Chen couldn't figure it out, "I said Brother Rong Xi, although the dyeing workshop is not bad, but the conditions are not as good as Rong Mansion, why do you want your sister to move to the dyeing workshop?" After all, there are many people there, and it is inconvenient for a show girl! Yu Chen had a compassionate look.
Luo Yan said that Rong Xi just wanted her sister to meet her father, not to let her sister move out to live, so that Yuchen should not misunderstand. Luo Yan looked at Rong Xi, and Rong Xi's face was a little lonely. Luo Yan and Rong Xi have discussed for a long time about Rong Jiaoniang being replaced by Rong Liniang, what kind of identity should be given to Rong Jianniang to let her live happily?
"That's pretty much it!" Yu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, and cared more about Rong Xi's family affairs than his own affairs......
"What's pretty much it?" A hearty voice floated in. Before the person arrives, the words come first. Zhao Bocong entered the shop with a smile. "Senior brother and brother are happy and don't notify me when they come to the door." Zhao Bocong looked radiant.
Rong Xi hurriedly greeted him, "Your Highness Eleven." ”
Zhao Bocong's expression froze, "Why is the junior brother outside!" ”
Luo Yan said with a smile, "Your Highness Eleven, don't get me wrong, Rong Xi is not an outsider, he is admitted to Xiucai." In terms of hierarchy, there must be a distinction between dignity and inferiority with His Highness. ”
"You're still out of sight! If you are a teacher for one day, you will be a teacher for life. Rong Xibai and I are under the same master's door. Of course, he is a lifelong brother. Rong Xi took the first place in the examination and I knew that even if he won the top prize in the future, he would still be my junior brother! ”
Luo Yan hurriedly took Rong Xi's hand. "Xianggong, since His Highness Eleventh loves you so much, you don't have to stick to your own heart, haven't you always respected your senior brother?"
"Senior brother! Rong Xi gave a salute to his senior brother. Rong Xi smiled honestly and hugged his fist at Zhao Bocong. Zhao Bocong smiled at this time. Rong Xi asked him how he got here.
Zhao Bocong pointed to the signboard outside the door. "It's your sign that attracts me! I've been shopping all over the capital these days, and I'm worried about where to find something that suits. I didn't expect to bump into you. ”
Luo Yan became curious. It turns out that next month coincides with the queen mother's birthday, and the concubines, princes, and ministers in the palace are all looking for suitable birthday gifts, and the good things in the entire capital are all searched......
"I didn't expect to come up to this long street, it's really a mountain and water. See light at the end of the tunnel! Zhao Bocong couldn't help but say happily, "What products do you have here to show me, with the dexterity of my junior brother and Miss Luo." Something made is definitely different. ”
Zhao Bocong was really happy when he got the tangled jade bottle, and he decided on a pair immediately. The money was handed over. "I still have something I want to ask my junior brother for help." Zhao Bocong looked at Rong Xi.
"Senior brother, although he said, Rong Xi must do what he can do." Rong Xi saw the hesitation in Zhao Bocong's eyes, and it must have been a difficult thing to agree. But he is willing to do his best for Zhao Bocong.
Luo Yan was a little nervous, she knew that the relationship in the palace was complicated, the queen mother had always disliked Zhao Bocong, and it might be difficult for Zhao Bocong to please the queen mother......
"I want to invite you to enter the palace on the Queen Mother's birthday."
"Ahh Enter the palace! Rong Xi and Luo Yan were both taken aback. Only Yu Chen danced with his hands, "Enter the palace? Wow, that's great. Brother Rong Yu quickly agreed. Can you take me with you? ”
Zhao Bocong looked at Yu Chen and shook his head, "I can only ask Rong Xi to go alone, I want to ask Rong Xi to bring the Spring Thunder Qin into the palace to play." ”
Luo Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled at Rongxi, "Xianggong hasn't played the piano for a long time, and I'm afraid that the sound of the spring thunder piano is unfamiliar." ”
Rong Xi understood what Luo Yan meant, waiting in the palace, like licking blood with a knife, is not so fun, but I don't know what Zhao Bocong's purpose is for doing this?
"There are many people who are good at teaching music in the music workshop, why does my brother want me to play the piano alone?"
"This, it's inconvenient for me to say...... However, there is only good for the junior and junior brothers, and there is no harm. After the queen mother's birthday, she will enter the entrance examination, and this time she will enter the palace to perform, which will inevitably help the junior and younger brothers. Zhao Bocong didn't want to say more.
Rong Xi looked at Luo Yan, and Luo Yan nodded. "It's all up to Senior Brother to arrange."
Zhao Bocong smiled and patted Rong Xi's shoulder, "Thank you junior brother for your success!" At that time, I will bring a waist card to pick up my junior brother and enter the palace. ”
"If you are fair, you can return to Yangzhou tomorrow, you can take the Chunlei Qin to step up the practice, and then you will not be dishonored by the recommendation of His Royal Highness Eleven......
"It's just that I don't know what tune to play, so I ask my senior brother for some advice."
"Everything! It's good for junior and junior to play anything. ”
"Of course, it's a joyful song!" Yu Chen interjected, and suddenly asked why Luo Shilang was assigned to the Western Frontier. Zhao Bocong was not surprised to see that Yu Chen and Rong Xi knew about it. said calmly, Luo Shilang privately accepted bribes and secretly transferred the exam papers......
"You say that his parents and officials who selected talents for the court acted like this, should they be dismissed and sent to Xijiang?"
"The! It is still light to send to the western frontier, and it is best to be exiled to a wild land to feed the dogs! Yu Chen laughed again. His family didn't make a lot of money for his autumn exam, it seems that he can be the last talent in the exam this time, and he really relies on his own true ability! Of course, Yu Chen became confident, and his waist straightened up.
Zhao Bocong said goodbye with a smile, walked to the door and suddenly thought of something, and turned around and asked Luo Yanrong how is Jiao Niang?
"Sister Jiao Niang is okay, she has been practicing poetry, writing, etiquette and music hard......"
Zhao Bocong sighed, "At the beginning of next month, the show girls will go to Beijing to teach the music to practice dance, and on the queen mother's birthday, the show girls will go to the Cining Hall to sing and dance to celebrate her birthday, and then Rong Xi is afraid that she will perform in the same hall with Rong Jiaoniang." ”
Luo Yan shivered, and Rong Xi shook Luo Yan's cold hand. The two sent Zhao Bocong out, and when they saw that Zhao Bocong's carriage was gone, the two returned to the shop and sat down in the circle chair dejectedly.
"What should I do?" Luo Yan is worried about Rong Jianniang, Rong Liniang is afraid that it will not work to replace Rong Jianniang, in front of everyone, Zhao Bojiu and Zhao Bocong are there, how can they not find the difference between Rong Liniang and Rong Jianniang.
Rong Xi shook his head and fell into deep thought......
