16. First meeting with Gongsun Qing
Early the next morning, Gongsun Yu and Jiang Chong went to Beique Jiadi Street together, waiting for good news.
Although there is no bustle of people coming and going in the east and west markets, the mansions here are extremely luxurious, and the scale of the liquor shops on the street is also very high-end.
Fengqilou is a high-end wine shop here, and the people who come are all rich people, and the price of wine alone is twice as expensive as that of Xiaoyaoju. There is no noise in the wine shop, it is quiet; Some of them were discussing current affairs while drinking, but there was no noisy sound, and at most they laughed a few times when the discussion reached the climax; Some were playing the guqin in the box, and someone was singing harmony next to them.
Gongsun Yu and Jiang Chong sat down in a conspicuous place at the door and asked for a pot of wine, and the two of them slowly considered it. When it was close to noon, I saw Zhu Lilun running in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Gongsun Yu and Jiang Chong, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Both, let you wait for a long time." ”
Jiang Chong hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Lilun, we have just arrived, come, sit down and have a drink." ”
After Zhu Lilun took a sip of wine, he hurriedly said: "Brother Gongsun, I handed your letter to Mr. Gongsun this morning, Mr. was very happy to read it, and wanted to ask me to come to you immediately, I told him that we made an appointment to wait here at noon today, and Mr. told me to take you over to see him immediately when I saw you, come, let's leave after drinking this wine." ”
Hearing the news that his uncle wanted to see him, Gongsun Yu was very happy and immediately followed Zhu Lilun to Gongsun Qing's mansion.
Gongsun Qing's Mansion is in the south of Beique Jiadi, which is close to Weiyang Palace, because His Majesty wants to follow the rumor, so he can only pick a place close to the palace. As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhu Lilun instructed a servant to hurry up and inform the adults, saying that the guests had arrived; When the servant heard this, he immediately ran to tell the news. Zhu Lilun led Gongsun Yu and Jiang Chong to follow behind, walked through the verandah, and came to the backyard, only to see a long-bearded and purple-robed monk standing on the steps, with a crane-topped turtle back, phoenix eyes and eyebrows, ruddy complexion, and elegant expression; Seeing Gongsun Yu and them coming, he hurriedly went down the steps and hurried up to meet them.
I saw him shouting as he walked: "Yu'er, Yu'er." ”
Gongsun Yu saw him walking towards him, and called him by name, needless to say, it must be his uncle Gongsun Qing, but he hadn't seen him for many years, and he couldn't remember his appearance vaguely.
"I'm Yu'er, and my nephew is visiting my uncle."
Gongsun Yu made a gesture at Gongsun Qing.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, come, let my uncle take a good look at you."
Gongsun Qing took Gongsun Yu's hand and walked towards the hall, and Zhu Lilun was busy preparing tea.
"Yu'er, I read the letter from the eldest brother, you are here with your uncle, you can study or study whatever you want."
"Uncle, I have been studying medicine with my father, and I want to practice medicine like my father."
"It's also very good to practice medicine, your grandfather also practices medicine, I'm relatively dull, and I often get criticized by your grandfather, saying that it's not good to study medicine, it's good that you can have such a plan, and you can also carry forward the medical skills of our grandson's family."
Speaking of this, Gongsun Yu realized that he had snubbed Jiang Chong next to him, so he hurriedly introduced Jiang Chong to Gongsun Qing.
"Uncle, this is Jiang Chong of Zhao State, I met my nephew when he was killed when he passed by the river, and he brought his nephew to Chang'an City together."
Jiang Chong hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Gongsun Qing and said, "Zhao Guojiang Chong has seen Lord Gongsun. ”
Gongsun Qing hurriedly replied: "You're welcome, I also want to thank you for taking care of Yu'er along the way, or he doesn't know if he can come to Chang'an." ”
At this time, Gongsun Yu told Gongsun Qing what happened along the way, and by the way, he also told Jiang Chong about his suffering in Zhao State.
"Brother Jiang's family let Prince Zhao Liu Dan kill him, and he wants to take revenge, but it is difficult to take revenge on his own, but he knows a lot of the bad deeds of King Zhao's father and son, so he thought of going to His Majesty to sue the royal court, can uncle help."
Gongsun Qing also looked embarrassed after hearing this, thought for a while, and said: "I have fewer opportunities to see Your Majesty now than before, and there are fewer opportunities to hand over the letter, if I can find a close attendant by Your Majesty's side." ”
Jiang Chong heard Gongsun Qing say this, happily took out a letter from his bag, and said excitedly: "Lord Gongsun, this is a letter written by my junior sister to Su Wen, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, my junior sister is very familiar with him and has been in correspondence, can you help him send this letter." ”
When Gongsun Qing heard that the letter was sent to Su Wen, he hurriedly took it and looked at it, and after reading the joyful expression on the horse, he said: "It's good to have Su Wen's help, the form can definitely be handed to Your Majesty, has your letter been written?" ”
"I haven't written it yet, Liu Peng's grandfather and son have bad deeds, but I don't know how good it is to write."
"Now Your Majesty has a very close eye on the vassal countries, and often sends people from the palace to monitor the vassal countries, Liu Pengzu is the most difficult to deal with, this old fox is very good, and the people sent to monitor him have been driven away by him, Your Majesty is suffering from no evidence of him, if you have the best evidence of him in your hands, Your Majesty will definitely masturbate him."
Jiang Chong nodded after hearing this and said, "I have a lot of evidence of their father and son in my hands now, and I can write a lot if I want to write." ”
"Well, you pick and choose the key points to write, preferably the ones that can hit him hard."
"Okay, I'll go back and write."
Jiang Chong was very excited when he heard that he could write a statement, but Gongsun Qing kept pacing back and forth, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly seemed to remember something, so he said: "That's it, the material you wrote is still aimed at Liu Dan, because Liu Pengzu is the emperor's younger brother after all, and they have been together since childhood, and a few bad deeds can't sue him, but his son Liu Dan is different, Your Majesty doesn't need to give him a face at all, as long as he has something wrong, Your Majesty will definitely not let him go." ”
Jiang Chong listened to Gongsun Qing's analysis, and finally understood the mystery, and at the same time admired Gongsun Qing, after all, he was a person who had stayed by His Majesty's side, and his ideas were very original, so he said: "Thank you Gongsun for the prompt, I know how to write." ”
"Write him as bad as possible, and write anything nondescript."
"You know, my lord, he is very bad in his own right, and you will know what kind of villain he is by writing about his bad deeds."
"Then you write as soon as possible, I will go to Gonggong Su first when I enter the palace tomorrow, hand over this letter to him, and then discuss with him how to deliver the letter."
"Then there is Lord Lao Gongsun, please bow down next."
After speaking, Jiang Chong bowed deeply to Gongsun Qing, and Gongsun Qing hurriedly said, "You're welcome." ”
Jiang Chong said goodbye to Gongsun Qing and was about to go back to the hotel, Gongsun Yu also wanted to go back to the hotel together, at this time Gongsun Qing kept him to live in the house, and he could see him sooner or later, but Gongsun Yu said that they were four people together, and they were afraid of being inconvenient if they lived in the house, at this time Gongsun Qing stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "It's okay, I have an old house on Xiyin Street in Xishi, the original owner is a medical center, I want to take your family to live in Chang'an when it is convenient, and by the way, you can also open a medical hall, but now it is empty, or you go there first." ”
Gongsun Yu was a little embarrassed to accept and didn't dare to agree, Gongsun Qing also saw his nephew's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, don't be polite, this is a little bit of my uncle's heart; I think that when I was poor and depressed in my hometown, your grandfather went early, and it was your father and my eldest brother who helped me to tide over the difficulties, and I always felt guilty in my heart, and now you come to Chang'an to find me, I can help you as much as I can, the house is a little older, you will do it first. ”
Speaking of which, Gongsun Yu couldn't refuse, so he had to say, "Then let's move in first." ”
Gongsun Qing heard that his nephew was willing to move over, and said happily: "Tomorrow, I will ask Lilun to take you over to have a look, and then tidy it up, and then you can move in." ”
Gongsun Yu and Jiang Chong got up to say goodbye, Gongsun Qing and Zhu Lilun sent them to the door, and when they left, Gongsun Qing also told them that they could find Zhu Lilun if there was anything, and told Zhu Lilun to take them to the old house on Xiyin Street tomorrow morning.
