Chapter 337: Loyalty comes first
There are two cities in the central capital, the east and the west, the west city is inhabited by ordinary people, and the east city is the residence of dignitaries including the imperial city.
There is a door face in the two parts of the city, there are three doors in the west city, there is no plaque, and there is only one in the east city, the plaque is written with thin and hard characters, painted with gold whitewash, reflecting the sun shining.
"Willing to seek ...... for the common people in the world"
The literati of the past had to read it, showing admiration or disdain.
However, those who showed disdain, as long as they remembered the saber at their waists, there were always one or two people who would blush and hasten away from this door......
The door face has no name, but it is called the 'Red Sleeve Pavilion'.
The origin of this name is to mention half of the poem written by Baoyu when he was still a student......
"The spring silkworm is dead, and the candle is gray and tears are beginning to dry!Haha, Brother Liu, what you are doing now is really complete this half of the poem!"
In the Red Sleeve Pavilion, Liu Sheng was dressed in a beautiful white robe, but he was doing the kind of work that was very vulgar for literati in the account room.
From time to time he looked at the room full of brocade cloth and smiled contentedly. But suddenly, seven or eight white-clothed talents poured in, and the one at the head turned out to be a blue-robed man, laughing loudly, and his words were particularly pleasing to him.
Liu Shengquan threw down the account book and said angrily: "Wang Yingtai, what is your name Liu?"
"Of course it's called you Brother Liu,"
In the laughter of those talents, Wang Yingtai deliberately smoothed out the blue robe on his body, and laughed: "You see that I am all lifting, and it is not appropriate to call you Brother Liu again." Besides, Jia Baoyu was still a student when he made "Song of Sparrows" in Xiangxianglou, and you condescended to help him attract the business of the fire kang, and you committed yourself to being a businessman who followed the bookkeeper with contempt.
Hey, Jia Baoyu has become an official, but you are proud of the spring breeze! Right, Brother Liu, who is the bookkeeper, ......"
Wang Yingtai swaggered his blue robe while elongating the tone of 'Brother Liu'.
Generally speaking, literati call each other brothers, and it is normal for a family to call each other brothers and brothers.
Wang Yingtai and Liu Shengquan are not related to each other, and they are Liu brothers, but they regard Liu Shengquan as those merchants, craftsmen, or reckless people who are not literati......
The word 'brother' sounds close, but for a talent like Liu Shengquan, it's a great shame!
Liu Shengquan was so angry that his face turned pale, his fists clenched, and he didn't dare to really start a conflict.
Xiucai is definitely at a loss when he fights with a lifter, and he suffers a loss, and he has to bear a ruined reputation with no etiquette!
Wang Yingtai liked to see Liu Shengquan's aggrieved appearance, and said proudly: "You haven't heard of it, have you? Jia Baoyu has been promoted again, from the fifth grade, what a big official position! But he was sent to deal with the matter of the turning over of the earth dragon......
I heard the elders say, the place where the earth dragon turns over is particularly difficult to be an official, even if Jia Baoyu goes, it will either die, or if it can't be handled well, he will be degraded and killed!
"How can I, Liu Shengquan, ever cling to the powerful? I admire the second master of Bao!"
Liu Sheng was so angry that he trembled, and said angrily: "That's right, I am not very talented, and I may not be able to be a lifter in my life! Bao Er Ye made a Jenny spinning machine, which has reduced the price of silk and satin cloth, and how many flowers are lost for the common people! I, Liu Shengquan, am willing to be an accountant, recruit you or provoke you? You want to come here to be presumptuous!"
"You deserve me to be presumptuous? Oh yes, Jia Baoyu also hung up the recruitment order, so powerful. ”
Wang Yingtai raised his sleeves and said strangely: "See, I'm also a lifter! You should be glad that Jia Baoyu is not in the capital, if he is here, I will directly clean him up! You are a talent who has degenerated into an account room, and you are not qualified to let me target you!"
Every sentence is showing off, every sentence is pierced in Liu Shengquan's heart, Wang Yingtai approached the counter, and even turned around, and ran into the counter containing silver taels to look through it at will.
Those few talents just messed around, tearing shelves full of silk and satin everywhere, making a mess all over the place.
Wang Yingtai was angry, and he overbearingly knocked away Liu Shengquan, and grabbed the account book of the Red Sleeve Pavilion doing business......
"Let me see how much money Jia Baoyu makes, businessmen are profit-seeking, what a scumbag! Huh?
Seeing Liu Shengquan take out a pen and paper, Wang Yingtai directly exported the chapter.
"Kill one person in ten steps, and don't leave a line for a thousand miles......"
In the groan, Liu Shengquan was slammed to the ground by the scabbard, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone fell into Wang Yingtai's hands.
Wang Yingtai smashed the inkstone, broke the pen, tore up all the bamboo-making paper and a few low-grade ten-button papers worth fifty taels of silver, and laughed wildly with a slight gasp.
With his talent, he reluctantly used "Chivalrous Travel", and while recovering his talent, he looked through the account books.
"Don't worry, you see, Jia Baoyu will definitely be planted on the Sanqi City, when the time comes, the tree will fall and scatter, and one hundred and eight people will have to be dispersed...... This is the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, what a good thing!"
He smiled as he copied the ledger as if it were his own home.
He had already inquired clearly - this was Jia Baoyu's own business, and there were usually few people from Jiafu who came, as long as he copied the account book and left, the big tree behind him was not afraid of Jiafu......
But at this time, a cold snort sounded from outside the door, and someone laughed in a deep voice: "It's better to be in time than to be in a hurry, it's been a long time, and no one dares to make trouble in the second master's place." ”
Wang Yingtai looked up in surprise and heard the same groan of "Chivalrous Journey".
Faster than the sound, but it was a bright sword light.
He didn't see a figure at the door, as if he remembered something, and quickly turned his head to look.
As soon as his head moved, a red line immediately appeared on his neck.
He only felt that the world was spinning, and in the blur of his eyes, he saw a very majestic back, standing in the center of the shelves of the Red Sleeve Pavilion......
Bai Liming pulled Wang Yingtai's head away with his backhand, and when he turned around, Xiucai, who was messing around with goods in the house, was also covered in blood and fell to the ground without saying a word.
He helped Liu Shengquan up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will report this matter to the official, and the bandits who robbed the shops will die in vain if they die." ”
Liu Shengquan He had seen such a cruel scene, and he was stunned with fright, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but shiver a few times.
He looked up at Bai Li Ming, only to feel that Bai Li Ming's official authority was getting heavier and heavier, making his back break out in a cold sweat.
"That's nature, nature ......"
He said curtly, looked at the messy goods coldly, and hurriedly asked: "It's time to replenish the stock again?" You wait, I'll call Jia Yun and Hong'er." ”
"I don't need to do anything about the goods...... Brother Liu, I received the second master's paper kite message, and I specially listened to the instructions to find you. ”
"Looking for me?huh...... Second Master Bao still remembers me?"
Liu Shengquan was very surprised.
Baili Ming burst out laughing, patted Liu Shengquan on the shoulder and said: "Why doesn't the second master remember you? When the second master was in the fire kang business, the second master was just a student, and you found the craftsmen of various families to help, and you lied to the second master to help in vain, don't get paid, in fact, you put the silver on the plate, right or not? Later, the second master remembered all kinds of busyness. ”
"This ...... I'm too stupid to lift people, and I can't help or help ......."
Liu Shengquan's face flushed with excitement.
He was so excited that he was at a loss, Bai Liming handed over a few pieces of ten-button paper, took it and looked at it, and immediately turned into a wooden stake.
Bai Liming patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "The second master remembers." He said that you should be almost able to smelt Wenshan, but the quality of talent and simmering is insufficient, let me give you a few famous articles. Ha, take it! Don't be petty! Don't talk about our second master, even if it's me, I don't care about a few famous chapters now......"
As if thinking of something, Bai Liming added: "Don't blame me for being stingy, Xuanhe's second master and I are also willing to give, but you can't write it......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Shengquan was already laughing and crying, choked up and couldn't speak.
After a long time, he said with a red nose: "I know, I understand, with my talent, I can't write the first edition of the original at the Xuanhe level, these famous chapters are isolated from the convergence of heaven and earth, I can write, I can be a lifter, I can ......"
He cried and shouted, and the whole person was like crazy.
Bai Liming smiled, beckoned and called over Yuzhu'er - this is also what Bao Er Ye ordered, just find someone to town.
When Yuzhu'er found a place to rest, he went to the Zhongdu Mansion.
"The weather was so nice. ”
Coming out of the mansion, Baili Ming looked at the blue sky and stretched his waist greatly.
He smiled lowly: "Okay, the matter of Zhongdu City has been dealt with, I just don't know how Brother Guining is doing......?"
...
The wave of the wings of the clouds and cranes is thousands of miles in a day.
The so-called day is not the twelve hours of a whole day, but the day is counted as a day, and the night is counted as a night.
In other words, in one day's time, Yunyang Crane can fly lightly out of a distance of 20,000 miles.
Even so, after several days, Baoyu and the others still failed to fall to the ground......
The wooden house on Yun Yanghe's back is divided into ten wings, which are enough to accommodate people, but since they got on Yunyanghe, Ximen Xue and they have never gone out of Baoyu's wing.
They watched Baoyu send several paper kites in a row, and they wanted to guess what Baoyu had arranged, and when Baoyu was practicing, they were really shocked a few times.
I saw that Baoyu was surrounded by four elephants and big beasts-
The green dragon hovered above Baoyu's head, the white tiger made the backrest, the Xuanwu made the futon, and the red bird landed on the shoulder.
While Baoyu understood the meaning, he smelted Wenshan, and his veins also made a sound like a waterfall ramming a rock, containing extremely terrifying strength!
[Since swallowing the essence of the literati, the speed of understanding the meaning of the text has been a little faster, oh, it may also be the relationship with Daiyu ***......]
Baoyu withdrew from the Wenshan world, and the surging power inside his body made him breathe out turbidity very comfortably.
The increase in strength is a bit slow, but it doesn't matter, the dragon whiskers haven't been fully digested...... Baoyu felt that the blood was constantly absorbing the power of the dragon's whiskers, as if every cell was evolving, quickly becoming dense and tight.
He opened his eyes and wanted to call Brother Shen to watch tea.
"Brother Shen,"
As soon as he shouted, Baoyu reflexively exhaled his palm, turned his head upside down with a big face to the begging in front of him, pointed at him and laughed.
"Look, I'll just say that Bao Er Ye is stuck in time! Yun Yanghe is landing, and he is immediately sober!"
Ximen Xue and Xue Daoheng nodded together, and Le Yangshen said yin beside him: "If it weren't for the second master's command to work together, if you get so close to the second master, I would have to fight with you." ”
"Can you beat me?"
He raised his head proudly, and his nostrils were towards Brother Shen.
Baoyu immediately smiled, stood up, waved his hand and said, "If I really fight, I will pull the side, can you beat me?"
Hearing this, his face drooped. Although he is a little higher than Baoyu, he is really not sure about fighting......
At this time, Yun Yanghe had lowered to a sufficient height, and they glanced at each other and jumped down.
With their ability, they can already soar at a height of more than 600 zhang, but after falling for a while, they will turn into a snowy sword light......
Ximen Xue asked with a long smile: "Yun Yanghe doesn't dare to fly into the territory of the Earth Dragon, let's go straight to the Three Wonders City?"
I couldn't help but get excited immediately, and said loudly: "There is a mark on the map, and the three strange cities are named after the three wonders!
This is reasonable, but Baoyu glanced at Xue Daoheng and refused.
He shook his head and said, "Let's go to Fenyin, Hedong first, which is also within the range of the earthquake wave." ”
Hearing this, Xue Daoheng trembled and almost fell off the sword light.
Go to Hedong Fenyin first?
Xue Daoheng was a local, and knew that Fenyin was on the east side of the Sanqi Great City, and if they went over according to the location where they were, it would be a distance of 600 miles.
He hurriedly said: "No need! As courtiers, we should put loyalty first!"
