Chapter 094: Yang Lao
An inconspicuous carriage quietly entered the city of Huiting under the escort of several people.
The curtain of the car was lifted from within, and a slightly old voice came from within, "Let's take a turn around the city first." ”
"Yes."
He really just wanted to see the pavilion city, and after directing the carriage to walk down the main road and side road, he let the carriage go to their destination.
Duan Ziyi heard that someone came to report that Yang Nansheng was sorting out her newly written things for Qiu'er when she asked to see her, and Qiu'er was inspired during this time, but it took a few days to write a thick stack, if it wasn't for the workshop that hadn't been done yet, Qiu'er was used to printing two volumes together, and those who had worked hard for the world would be able to see the fifth volume immediately.
Xia Hanqiu put down the pen and was a little impressed by the name, "Yang Lao, who you told me?" ”
"Well, I didn't expect him to come so quickly." Duan Ziyi looked at her gently, "Come with me to greet her?" ”
Knowing that this Yang Nansheng's status in the heart of change is very unusual, Xia Hanqiu will not refuse, he looked down at his overly simple clothes, and the sleeves were stained with ink at some point, and got up and said, "I'll go change my clothes." ”
Duan Ziyi had other ideas in his heart, he knew very well what Yang Lao was, he didn't care what kind of identity and background his hostess was, for him, the master was the master, and he must be respected when he should be respected, but if this master is not able to convince people, he will only respect, will not obey, and will not accept it sincerely.
He regards Yang Lao as an elder, and Qiu'er is the person on the tip of his heart, and he hopes that these two people can get closer to each other.
Qiu'er just went to clean herself up like a flower. Yang Lao will not look down on him because of this, but if he knows Qiu'er's talent, Yang Lao will definitely treat him differently.
Pulling her before Qiu'er turned around, Duan Ziyi smiled, "My own people, don't care about that." ”
"Are you sure?"
Duan Ziyi pulled her and walked out, directly telling her how sure he was with his actions, and did not forget to turn around and order, "Look at the things on a few cases, and you can't lose a single one." ”
"Yes."
The two were in the gazebo at this time. The weather is getting hotter. The drapery around has been closed, and in such weather, it is a good place to talk here.
The abacus in Duan Ziyi's heart crackled.
Yang Nansheng is an old man with a long beard, because of his age. The long beard is as gray as the hair.
The vicissitudes of life can be seen in his eyes. Burnout could be seen in his expression. From his bearing, he knew that this was an old man who had many experiences, but there were not many folds on his face, even if he had gray hair and long beards, he did not look particularly old.
Because Duan Ziyi greeted the porter early. As soon as he signed the word, he led the people into the hall, and at this time he did not look around, but sat upright with his eyes closed, and the room was quiet, as if no one was there.
It wasn't until there were footsteps outside that Yang Nansheng opened his eyes, and when he heard the footsteps of the two of them, there was a smile on his face.
I got up and groomed myself and took a few steps forward.
As if he had calculated, Ziyi and Xia Hanqiu arrived when he stopped.
"The old minister has seen the prince."
"I've told you how many times that I don't have to care about so much etiquette in private." Duan Ziyi stepped forward to help the person up, complaining in his mouth, but his eyes were full of laughter, Xia Hanqiu saw it in his eyes, and he knew in his heart how much he wanted to see this Yang Nansheng.
Yang Nansheng got up with his strength, and looked at Duan Ziyi, his eyes were clearly conniving.
Duan Ziyi's heart was full of Qiu'er, and this would naturally not snub her, so he affectionately pulled her forward to make an introduction, "Yang Lao, this is Xia Hanqiu, Qiu Er, you can also call Yang Lao with me." ”
Xia Hanqiu squatted down and saluted, "Yang Lao." ”
Yang Nansheng avoided being rude, not because he didn't like the future hostess, but because he couldn't bear it, no matter how close he was to the prince, it was also a master-slave relationship, how could there be a rule for subordinates to receive the master's courtesy.
But he likes Xia Hanqiu's attitude, if she is ignorant and will not perform this ceremony, if she raises her identity because of the relationship between the prince, she will not perform this ceremony, and it can be seen from her attitude that the prince must have said something to her in private, and it is definitely a good word, this little girl, the most brilliant thing is that she has clear eyes, firm, not wandering, she is a good girl with a good idea and a good heart.
"Miss Xia doesn't need to be like this, you are the hostess of the old man, and there is no reason to accept your courtesy."
Xia Hanqiu didn't force it, smiled slightly and looked at Duan Ziyi.
Duan Ziyi smiled back at her naturally, and then turned his head to look at Yang Nansheng, "Yang Lao, let's talk in another place." ”
"It's fine."
Walking slowly on the verandah, the two of them said some inconsequential words, Xia Hanqiu listened, but never interjected.
Yang Nansheng likes this little girl even more.
No wonder the prince treats her so attentively.
Duan Ziyi led people to the pavilion, the current Guo Mansion is not particularly big, at least for him, there are only three courtyards before and after, and the rules are decent, if such a pavilion is in his palace, he will not take a look, but in this Guo Mansion, this pavilion is the only place that makes him feel that it is built Haode.
It's not good to always go to Qiu'er's yard, especially the Xia family will move over in the future, and the places that should be avoided should still be avoided, these days, they spend most of their time in the pavilion.
Sometimes one person writes and one person grinds ink, sometimes two people each hold a book, and sometimes they sit opposite each other, watching Qiu'er's gestures fly over the tea.
It was the first time he knew that tea could be played like this.
Qiu'er didn't know where he learned it, but at the beginning, his gestures were rusty, and his hands were often hot, and the blisters on his white and tender fingers were the size of beans, and he was distressed to see them.
had the intention to dissuade a few words, but seeing that she was full of interest, he was secretly distressed and did not disturb her interest, but since then, every autumn has been interested, and the maid is no longer allowed to have hot water.
At that time, he thought, isn't it just making a cup of tea? There are so many maids waiting, why use yourself, even if there are really any tricks, teach the maids, let them practice, and then show her after the practice is over.
But gradually, he didn't think so.
Seeing Qiu'er's hands almost burn again because of the shape in the teacup, he realized that Qiu'er's fun lies in this hands-on process, not just looking at it with his eyes.
A few days ago, when Qiu'er successfully pointed out a word in the teacup under his gaze, he was even more excited than Qiu'er herself, Qiu'er had suffered so much, but the first thing she successfully pointed out was a zigzag, and it was replaced.
He would never be wrong, Qiu'er was secretly expressing his thoughts in this way.
Looking at the roots of her red ears, he was even more sure.
This is the only trick that Qiu'er can point out so far.
Dividing tea is not easy to learn, he doesn't want Qiu'er to work too hard, but he also looks forward to the day when his name Qiu'er can be called out.
Of course, he didn't want Qiu'er to show his skills today, if he could, he didn't want people to know too much of Qiu'er's skills, but he hoped that Qiu'er could be recognized by Yang Lao.
The rice paper on several cases in the pavilion was pressed with a paperweight, and everything was in place, and no one moved.
Yang Nansheng misunderstood, his eyes swept over Xia Hanqiu's sleeves secretly, he had already seen the ink in that place, and he thought that she had swept it somewhere, but he didn't expect the two of them to add fragrance to their red sleeves here!
"Yang Lao, sit."
Yang Nansheng bowed slightly and sat down.
When he raised his eyes slightly, he was stunned when he saw that the person who sat down on a few cases and sorted out the things on a few cases was actually Xia Hanqiu, this is ......
"Qiu'er, let's put it first, I'll collect it for you in a while, I'll separate the sorted out ones from those who haven't, don't get confused."
Xia Hanqiu shook his hand and obediently put the things back.
The maid served tea, and Yang Nansheng's eyes still fell on those cases from time to time.
Duan Ziyi understood after a turn of thought, smiled secretly in his heart, and took the initiative to turn the topic to there, "Yang Lao, I plan to make a deal with Qiu'er, in my fiefdom." ”
As soon as he heard that it was a serious matter, Yang Nansheng immediately straightened his face, "I don't know what kind of business the prince wants to do and what he wants." ”
"If you want to be a bookstore, don't ask about the rest, Ruyue, you go to Shuxiangzhai to bring the first volume of the shocking catastrophe."
"Yes."
Xia Hanqiu knew what she wanted to do, and just wanted to speak, but Duan Ziyi moved faster than her, took out a few stacks of rice paper on several cases and handed them to Yang Lao, grabbed the conversation and said, "You take a look at this first." ”
Yang Nansheng swept over the first two people suspiciously, and lowered his head to flip through them.
If you don't have a head or a tail, ordinary people can't see anything, and you can't feel that you can't connect anywhere, but Yang Nansheng is not an ordinary person.
Duan Ziyi once sent someone to check him out when he took refuge, it was really easy to check, the first twenty years were in Nanling, the last twenty years were in Nanling, only the middle ten years took a little time, but even in those ten years, his whereabouts were very clear.
Except for the jade lock piece that he kept close to him and took out from time to time to play with, and one day every year he would burn a thick piece of paper money on the side of the road and couldn't find out the reason, he could be said to be as innocent as a transparent person in front of Duan Ziyi.
It was precisely because of this that Duan Ziyi felt that he was not ordinary.
What Yang Nansheng has done in Nanling over the years confirms his ideas.
Looking at the people who were flipping through faster and faster, Duan Ziyi knew that he had succeeded, so he winked at Qiu'er and handed over the stack below.
Yang Nansheng took it without raising his head and continued to watch.
Maybe he finished watching a plot, or maybe he felt that it was enough to see here, but Yang Nansheng didn't stop after watching it all.
Eyes swept over the faces of the two.
One is proud of the glory, and the other is a little nervous.
Yang Nansheng didn't understand who this was from, and his eyes unconsciously revealed some appreciation, "I didn't expect Miss Xia to have such talent, the old man looked down on it." ”
Xia Hanqiu relaxed, brushed his sideburns and hair, lowered his head and raised it again, his expression was very pampered and calm, "Yang Lao has won the award." (To be continued......)
