Chapter 499: What's going on?
The lights in Zixiao Palace are colorful, and there is an endless stream of palace maids and eunuchs, especially when the lanterns are on, the candles that are slipping away are faint, but they are endless, it seems that the palace is really seriously preparing for the rhythm of the princess's wedding.
Nominally, his mission is to paste gold leaf on the royal supplies to ensure that everything has the golden effect on the day of the princess's wedding, but in fact, the little scholar wants to see the right time to report the recent situation to Princess Ringing.
In all directions, there will definitely be no trace of Princess Bell.
According to Baoyu's instructions, Qingwen dressed as a little scholar skillfully tied a red rope to the sick plum branch that Her Royal Highness often walked by, and made a code.
Carpenter Li, who came along, was unequivocal and said to the little scholar:
"You know what? To learn this craft, you have to worship me as a master. ”
The little scholar stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This is to worship the master." The official ceremony, let's go out of the palace and make up for it, please don't be surprised by the master. ”
Carpenter Li was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, although he didn't believe that this little scholar could take on this important task from the bottom of his heart.
"Scholar, everyone says that you are a very smart kid, and what you learn is like anything, so you will pass the test, win the unanimous recommendation of the judges, win the baking championship, and get the reuse of He Shen and adults, so that you can fill the vacancy of gold leaf. This is a fat shortage, if it weren't for Xiao Er Mazi being arrested for treason, this gold leaf thing has always been our two partners, and we can't allow others to come in at all. You're in time for a good time. “
The little scholar nodded and said, "Yes, master, how lucky you are to be born later." “
Master Li saw that the little scholar had just shown his sincerity by kneeling down to worship the master, so he continued with peace of mind:
"To be honest, this gold leaf thing can't be done by heart and soul alone, and it also requires skill. In a moment, I'll teach you a few steps, you can give it a try and see if you can do it. If you can't do it, you're going to have to give me a hand...... In that case, you'll get a lot less money. “
The little scholar nodded in understanding and said, "Master, you just commanded, no, I can learn, no, I can practice repeatedly." “
Carpenter Li saw that the little scholar was sincere, although he was very happy, but he didn't dare to have any illusions about the little scholar about this gold leaf that could only be done by practicing for many years.
"Master, where are we going?" asked Carpenter Li.
He paid close attention to the trajectory of this road, as if this was from Zixiao Palace to the Imperial Garden, and then turned a corner from the Imperial Garden, and came to Shuxi Garden.
Carpenter Li, who is familiar with the way, began to introduce it with all his might:
"On the day of the wedding, the princess got up in a sedan chair, starting from Zixiao Palace, and then, a large group of people and horses drove to Lingxiao Palace, where they bowed to the Queen Mother, and then went through the imperial garden, and went out of the city from the Xinhua Gate at the north entrance of the palace seat, and the wedding will be held at the place where the Hu people camped ten kilometers away from the capital. “
When the little scholar heard Carpenter Li's introduction, he muttered a little in his heart. Still, he resisted the urge to ask questions and quietly went about being a good student. maintained his vital strength, and was not so anxious to expose his crazy strength.
Originally, in Carpenter Li's mind, the little scholar was a talented and unrestrained young man, and he became his own apprentice, I am afraid that he is arrogant and squeamish, and only recognizes the truth of death in books, so Li Carpenter is not optimistic about the little scholar.
However, out of helplessness, this was appointed by He Shen and the Lord to be his apprentice, and Li Carpenter felt that he should not ask the little scholar like he asked for an apprentice, because when the trouble was not good, the little scholar would take advantage of the reputation of He Shen and the Lord to turn over and become his own boss, so everything that could be avoided should be avoided.
At the same time, Carpenter Li decided not to take out the most difficult portable skills, lest the little scholar learn to smash his own job. Carpenter Li is still a little selfish.
When Carpenter Li was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a little palace maid in green clothes running over: "Dad"
The little scholar next to him was shocked, feeling that this girl was only twenty-eight years old, tall, with a very high forehead, and seemed to be very smart.
The little scholar hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to face this girl. This is the minimum etiquette, to show respect for the daughter of your master.
Carpenter Li saw that the little scholar was so polite, and he didn't feel that he had a little more trust in this apprentice.
He said: "Little scholar, come, I have seen my daughter Xiaoyuer. “
The girl's big eyes flickered, and she said to the little scholar: "This little scholar, it seems, this is the first time you have entered the palace, right?"
The little scholar said, "Exactly, exactly." “
Carpenter Li glared at his daughter and said, "Hey, you don't have anything to say, who isn't this the first time to enter the palace? If it weren't for the princess's wedding, he wouldn't even have the first chance." “
Although Carpenter Li believed in the little scholar, it was obvious that he did not believe in himself, a lively and fun-loving stinky girl.
Carpenter Li said to Xiao Yu'er: "You are not waiting by the princess's side, you are running around like this, what are the six gods and no master for? When you are not by your parents' side, why are you so disobedient, how worrying!"
The little fish stuck out her tongue and didn't defend herself.
The little scholar said, "Master, what is our task now?"
Carpenter Li said: "Hey, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, my master is not in a hurry, why are you overstepping your responsibilities and being in a hurry?!"
The little scholar didn't dare to say more, it seemed that his master Li Carpenter knew everything about the progress well, and there was no need to hurry. Seeing Carpenter Li's expression, the little scholar seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and closed his mouth.
Walking through a flower lake, I came to Changxu Palace, Carpenter Li beckoned, and the little scholar followed the master into Changxu Palace.
This is where the Queen Mother stays, and everything is covered with a layer of royal style.
Carpenter Li turned around and asked in surprise, "Stinky girl, why did you come with me?" “
Xiao Yu'er stuck out her tongue, as if her father's harsh teachings to her could be dissolved until they disappeared completely.
Xiao Yu'er said: "As long as you are assigned a task, dad, can't you allow me to do my own work for the queen mother?"
"What are you doing?" asked the little scholar.
"Send courier. Xiao Yu'er's face was extremely proud.
"What does it mean to deliver a courier?" the little scholar couldn't hide his curiosity this time.
