Chapter 1109: Drunken gaffes

"Has Han Envoy-kun been to Silla?"

Speaking is Du Chong, the chief judge of "Chang'an Express", he is the only middle-aged man here, and he is the chief judge of the newspaper, everyone respects him very much, and tonight is a guest of the newspaper, so he naturally became the initiator of tonight.

Han Yu submitted several articles to the "Chang'an Express" last year, describing the drought in Jizhou, Hebei, which was valued by the imperial court, and Guo Song specially appointed Wei Yingwu as the pacification envoy of Hebei and went to Jizhou to urge the local government to fight drought and calm the people, so Du Chong was very impressed by Han Yu.

Han Yu smiled slightly: "I haven't been there yet, I'm going to go there this summer and autumn." ”

Du Chong immediately smiled and said: "Our newspaper is about to open a new exotic style collection column, so I will ask Han Yuanjun for a manuscript first." ”

"No problem, after I go to Silla, I will definitely write a few more articles."

Guo Jincheng asked a little strangely: "Is there still a surplus page in the newspaper now?" ”

Du Chonghe smiled, "The current newspaper is one-sided, and soon we will launch double-sided, so that there will be more content." ”

"But will this affect the reading of the handwriting before and after?"

"No, we have done repeated experiments to increase the viscosity of the pulp by one point, as long as you don't look at the sun, the newspaper will not be transparent, so that the content of the newspaper can be doubled, and the introduction of each business can be more detailed."

At this time, Bai Juyi glanced at Guo Jincheng again and again, he wanted to enter the newspaper as a writer, and it was easy to sit with the chief judge of the newspaper, how could he let go of this opportunity.

Guo Jincheng understood and asked Du Chongxiao: "After the newspaper expands, it should recruit writers, right?" ”

"Of course you want to recruit, do you have friends to introduce?"

Guo Jincheng pointed at Bai Juyi and said with a smile: "How is this Bai Jinshi?" ”

Du Chonghe laughed, "The fourth on the first list, I actually came to the newspaper to be a little writer, it's too wronged!" ”

Bai Juyi was about to speak, Du Chong waved his hand and said: "I understand Brother Bai Xian's thoughts, many young officials want to come to the newspaper to work part-time, if Brother Bai Xian is an official in the capital, maybe I will consider Jiulang's recommendation and arrange for you to do a part-time job, but in two days it will be the official examination, and after passing, the official will be awarded, if Brother Bai Xiandi is delegated to the local government, what is the point of promising you now?" ”

"What if I'm assigned to the capital?"

Du Chong said lightly: "Since it is Jiulang's recommendation, of course I want to give face, if Brother Bai Xian is assigned to be an official in the capital?" Then you can always come to the newspaper to find me. ”

Finished? He took out a famous post and gave it to Bai Juyi, Bai Juyi was overjoyed? Hurriedly took it? With the famous post, he will not be stopped from visiting Du Chong in the newspaper.

Lu Nan next to him smiled: "Or Xiao Xue's face is big?" Now there are a lot of young officials who want to work part-time in the newspaper, how many colleagues do I know ask me to find a relationship? I can't help it? Xiao Xue solved it in one sentence, it's enviable! ”

At this time, Xiao Zhenye, who was drunk, sneered and said, "You are a fart looking for a relationship!" He is the son of the King of Jin, who dares not to give face? Will people sit here and drink with you? It's your face, you really take yourself seriously. ”

Xiao Zhenye saw Han Yu, Bai Juyi and others getting along well with Guo Jincheng on the side, Guo Jincheng actually gave Bai Juyi a favor, he was so jealous that he went crazy in his heart, plus he drank too much? was hot-headed for a while, and without thinking, Guo Jincheng's identity was exposed.

The room was silent? Everyone was stunned, and Du Chong snorted: "This joke is too big?" You can't talk nonsense like that, hurry up and invite him down to sober up! ”

Finished? He gave a few of his newspaper men a look? How many of his subordinates will understand? hurriedly set up Xiao Zhenye, "Brother Xiao, if you talk nonsense like this and cause trouble, hurry up and wake up the bar!" ”

He forced Xiao Zhenye to walk out, Xiao Zhenye shouted: "I'm not drunk, I'm not talking nonsense, it's true, you let me go!" ”

Xiao Zhenye was taken away, but the room was a little embarrassed, Guo Jincheng was silent, Du Chong smiled: "It seems that I have to clarify for everyone, because Xiao Xue has a big face, and he introduced several friends to the newspaper, and there are rumors that Xiao Xue is the son of the King of Jin, but the truth is not like this, the truth is that the big proprietor behind our newspaper is Xiao Xue's elder." ”

Bai Juyi actually remembered the matter of the glass house, and asked curiously: "Xiao Xue, the elder that Chief Judge Du said is your aunt!" ”

Guo Jincheng nodded, "It's my aunt and Zhang Shibo, Zhang Shibo, you have seen it, the tall and fat predecessor in the glass house is him, one of the richest people in Chang'an, he and my aunt are the big proprietors of the newspaper." ”

Bai Juyi also wanted to ask about the prince of Jin again, but Xue Qing gave him a look, and Bai Juyi immediately shut up with amusement.

Du Chong raised his glass and smiled: "Come!" Let's raise a glass again, congratulations to our teenage prodigy Jiurou and Brother Bai High School Jinshi, cheers! ”

Everyone raised their glasses together, "Cheers!" ”

........

Xiao Zhenye was drunk and sent home by his entourage, never came back, and drank for more than half an hour, the time was almost up, the wine was finally dispersed, Du Chong settled the account, and everyone said goodbye and went home.

Bai Juyi was drunk and was helped into the ox cart, Guo Jincheng and Xue Qing were responsible for sending him back to the inn, Guo Jincheng got into the ox cart and waved goodbye to Han Yu.

"Brother Han, we have time to get together again!"

Han Yu waved his hand and smiled: "No problem, I still have a while in Chang'an, and when you are busy for the past few days, I will invite you to drink!" ”

"Drinking... Don't forget to call me! Bai Juyi shouted vaguely.

"Don't worry! You are indispensable. Guo Jincheng said with a smile.

The oxcart slowly started and left, Han Yu and Lu Nan looked at the oxcart and walked away, and then they turned over and got on the horse.

Lu Nan is from the seventh rank of the left Tibetan order, there is an official courtyard covering an area of two acres in Chang'an New Town, although his family has a house in Chang'an, but Lu Nan lives in his own official courtyard, Han Yu also lived in Lu Nan's house during his time in Chang'an.

The official courtyard is next to the Weiyang Palace in the new city, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk from Xi'an Gate Street to the north.

The two rode slowly, and Han Yu sighed and said, "Lao Xiao is too out of shape today, he is talking such nonsense!" ”

Lu Nan smiled faintly, "Do you think he's talking nonsense?" ”

Han Yu was stunned, "Could it be.... Isn't that nonsense? ”

Lu Nan shook his head, "Did you hear Xiao Xue deny it?" ”

Han Yue thought about it, and became more and more surprised: "That's right! He just said that the newspaper was invested and set up by his aunt and elders, and he didn't mention the prince of Jin at all, is he really the prince of Jin? ”

Lu Nan was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, I have long suspected that several of his guards are not ordinary guards, and no matter how rich they are, they can't be hired, once my master said that he leaked his mouth and said that Xue Qing was the son of Senior Minister Xue." ”

"Xue Xun?" Han Yu was surprised.

Lu Nan nodded, "Senior Minister Xue is the father of Princess Jin, then Xue Qing is the younger brother of Princess Jin, then Xiao Xue is with him all day long, don't you think the answer is about to come out?" ”

Han Yu was silent in thought, Lu Nan smiled and continued: "The prince of Jin is called Guo Jincheng, Xiao Xue is called Xue Jin, his name in the newspaper is Xue Cheng, Lao Xiao has already found out, so he desperately stammered, but unfortunately he said something that should not be said today, if I am not mistaken, he will be transferred out of Chang'an in a few days, maybe he will be a blessing in disguise, King Jin gave him a good errand and sent him to the place as an official." ”

At this time, Han Yu smiled and said: "Even if he is the prince of the King of Jin, it is nothing, since he doesn't want to think of himself as the prince of the King of Jin, then I will continue to treat him as Xiao Xue." ”

"You don't care?" Lu Nan glanced at Han Yu strangely.

Han Yu laughed, "What do I care about?" King Jin is in the prime of life, and when it is the turn of the prince to take the throne, I am afraid that I am already a high-ranking official of the third grade! ”

Lu Nan's heart suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help laughing: "You can still see through, poor Lao Xiao just hasn't figured this out!" ”

........

In the room of the Jin Palace, Guo Song listened to the report of the female guard, nodded and said, "I know, I have worked hard for you in the past few days, please continue to protect the son!" ”

The female guard bowed and retreated, and Xue Tao on the side said angrily: "That one is called Xiao or something, how can he talk nonsense like this?" , or be an official! There is no sense of proportion at all. ”

Guo Song was also very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it, just said lightly: "When you are drunk, sometimes you will talk nonsense!" ”

"Husband, what should I do now?"

Xue Tao said worriedly: "Cheng'er's identity is leaked, I'm afraid his safety can't be guaranteed, husband, you can't let him be outside anymore." ”

Guo Song thought of the mysterious Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce, so he nodded and said: "Let him go home tomorrow, he really can't live outside anymore, the Hongwen Pavilion will be officially established in two days, he will go to the Hongwen Pavilion to continue his studies, he is only fifteen years old now, at least until the weak crown can build a mansion independently!" ”

"Then where does he live when he studies at Hongwenkan?"

Guo Song thought for a while and said: "It should be living in the Hongwen Pavilion, not only him, there are about twenty teenagers, the children of Du Xiangguo and Pan Xiangguo will also study there, and then there will be some young new science and technology scholars who will enter the Hongwen Pavilion to do school books." ”

"Isn't that cut off from the outside?"

Xue Tao was a little worried. She wants her son to be safe, but she doesn't want him to be isolated like he is in prison.

Guo Song smiled and said, "Don't worry! After Cheng'er entered the newspaper office, his personality was much more cheerful, I will not let him re-close, I have already thought about it, when the situation stabilizes, I will often let him go out with his friends, if he wants, he can continue to do things for the newspaper, just change the way slightly, in a word, Cheng'er has gradually grown up, began to have his own ideas, we have to respect him, we can no longer treat him as a child"
