Chapter 546: People are small and ghosts are big
The emperor and his entourage visited the workshop openly under the leadership of Xiao Peanut, and Hua Qi carried the four princes brought in on his back, and quietly visited the workshop under the guidance of the number one sect leader in Zhang Yuan.
Because Zhang Shou knew that this "master" who was even more elusive than Ah Liu couldn't prevent it at all, so he simply opened all places to people. Therefore, although many people in Zhang Yuanzhong have never set foot in this underground workshop, Hua Qi has turned back and forth many times. At this time, even if he took a child like the fourth prince, no one said anything about the craftsmen who were doing things.
Everyone remembers what Zhang Shou said when he personally brought Hua Qi here: "This is Hua Qiye, and Ah Liu was taught by him." You remember his face, and if suddenly such a person appears nearby, don't panic. He followed Zhao Guogong and made great achievements, and even the emperor admired him. ”
And in the actual experience afterwards, they had to thank Zhang Shou for reminding him in advance, because such a big living person suddenly appeared on his side unconsciously, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask you very inexplicable questions, which is really scary!
However, at this time, the craftsmen were calm about Hua Qi, who came to visit with their children, but Hua Qi himself felt the headache of those craftsmen when they saw him in the past. Because at this time, the fourth prince grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, and asked all kinds of strange questions, even if he had already said that he couldn't understand it, but he still couldn't stand the little guy just love to ask!
If it weren't for the emperor's temporary intention to call Song Juren and that Fang Qing together, this difficult little prince would not have needed him to bring it!
Although he complained in his heart that the emperor was thinking that one would be one out of the other, Hua Qi also knew that only a small part of the emperor's sudden visit to Zhang Shou's workshop this time was for the craftsmen here, as well as various machines and things being made, and more than half was to take the four princes to broaden their horizons. Although the four princes were suddenly thrown to him, he couldn't leave such a curious baby behind.
So, even if he was helpless and impatient, he could only accompany him.
Fortunately, the fourth prince soon discovered that Uncle Hua Qi, who was "snatched from the Zhao Mansion as a guard" by his father, had good martial arts, but in a place like the workshop, no matter how high the martial arts were, they couldn't play a role. If it was the third prince, he might have given up his plan to ask the truth at this time, take a look at it first, and try to move Zhang Shou to take him to see it next time. But he was different.
With a flicker of his eyes, the four princes looked around. When he saw a large number of craftsmen who were immersed in work and didn't care about him, there was an old craftsman with an old face, a beard, and a very senior old craftsman who looked at him frequently, as if he was curious, he suddenly ran over with his short legs, and after he arrived in front of others, he tugged at the corner of the other party's clothes.
Seeing that people looked down at him in astonishment, he whispered, "Uncle, can you show me around here?" There are so many things I can't understand. ”
The old craftsman stared at the third prince for a long time, and finally said with a complicated expression: "Little boy, I am only twenty-nine this year. ”
The fourth prince's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief. The old craftsman in front of him looked much older than his father, and he was only twenty-nine years old? Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and quickly let go of his hand at the moment, took a step back and said deeply: "I'm sorry, I was clumsy and misunderstood." Uncle, can you take me around here and have a look? Uncle Hua said that I don't understand these things. ”
When the "old" craftsman heard this uncle, his face pale. Because he saw that the four princes were brightly dressed, but they spoke politely, and at this time he grabbed the corners of his somewhat pickled clothes without disgust, so he coughed dryly and nodded, really leaving the work at hand and leading the way for the four princes.
Of course, this is also largely because he sees the relationship between Hua Qi. He hadn't seen Ah Liu's power with his own eyes, but some of the other craftsmen had just witnessed Ah Liu's violent beating of an unknown person in Zhang Yuan. Until now, no one knows whether that guy was sent to the Daxing County Government or the Shuntian Mansion Office, or whether he was simply sunk into the capital where he was in the sea.
But the fourth prince didn't know that this craftsman uncle was patient and meticulous with him because of Hua Qifang. Although he is sometimes a bear child, when he really wants to pretend to be well-behaved and careful, it is indeed well-behaved and careful. Moreover, in order to avoid walking too fast and catching up with his father's group, he also walked all the way and looked forward, and his voice was very low.
But as he walked and asked, he suddenly heard the craftsman uncle next to him ask, "Little boy, do you know the three people you brought with Little Peanut just now?" ”
"Know...... Well, you can also say no. The fourth prince changed his words very quickly, and then whispered, "Uncle, don't give me a secret, I pestered the seventh uncle behind me, so I was able to come here to see it!" Dr. Zhang is my teacher, how can any student not enter the teacher's workshop? ”
Uncle Craftsman was relieved. He said, how can Ah Liu's master, the seventh master of Hua Qi personally bring in, be a child of an ordinary family? The students of Dr. Zhang, the owner of this room, are so young that they are one of those two in every ten years, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with him putting down his work to curry favor.
He was originally careful to deal with the four princes, and at this time, he was naturally more attentive and eager. And such an emotional change, the fourth prince was immediately keenly aware of it.
So, just now, he was mainly asking about those machines, and he was asking about those strange things, and now he asked curiously: "Uncle, since you are not very old, why do you have such a beard full of vicissitudes on your face, and you look very old?" ”
was asked such a heart-wrenching question, and the craftsman uncle froze. After a long while, he said unnaturally: "Little boy said that he laughed, I am just too busy to take care of my beard, I will definitely take care of it in the future, and I will never make you feel old enough to be called an old man." By the way, has the little boy seen this? This is a water-powered grinding machine......"
The fourth prince didn't wait for the craftsman uncle to finish speaking, he asked again: "Uncle, you said that you are very busy, so when I went to beg you to show me around, you still agreed to me so readily?" You're such a nice guy! I heard that everyone in this workshop has their own tasks and is very busy, do you have a problem that you can't solve, so take me around to change your mood? ”
The craftsman uncle was about to be asked by the four princes, and his face was about to hang up, but the four princes had already asked and answered themselves, and even if he was hard-headed, he could only pick it up.
"What the little boy said is that I won't be able to find a clue for a while, and it just so happens that you came to me, so I ......"
The fourth prince, who had just been asking questions and was warm and cordial, as if he was a good boy next door, suddenly took a few steps back, and when he found out who he had bumped into, he hurriedly looked behind him and found that it was Hua Qi, who had been following them, and he suddenly flashed behind Hua Qi with relief.
"Uncle Huaqi, this guy is very suspicious!" The fourth prince didn't seem to see the stunned face of the craftsman uncle opposite, and said loudly, "Everyone is doing things seriously, just look around; An outsider like me begged him to lead the way, and he agreed at once, and I didn't even have time to say who I was; Along the way, he always went to other people's side to see what other people were doing! ”
The more he spoke, the more serious his expression became, and when he looked at the eyes of the person opposite, he seemed to be excited to find out a suspicious person: "And he can't tell the principle of many things, unlike the head of Guan Qiu just now; Most of those craftsmen also had a cold attitude towards him, it must be because he was usually very mediocre, so he didn't welcome people......"
Hua Qi heard the analysis of the four princes behind him one after another, and then saw the bearded craftsman "uncle" with an earthy face, he smiled, and then glanced around left and right.
Seeing that the craftsmen who were still probing their brains to watch the excitement, at this time, after contacting his sight, he immediately lowered his head, he stepped forward with his hands behind his back, but did not immediately pull people out as the four princes behind him imagined, but when passing by the other party's side, he said slowly: "Smart is mistaken by smart, next time you pat yourself on the back, remember to see people clearly." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The young craftsman "Uncle" was almost about to cry, and at this time he hurriedly bowed and responded, and then he didn't dare to look at the fourth prince who was staring at him, and returned to his previous position with a smoke.
Seeing that the people had already left, Hua Qi glanced down at the four princes who were stunned, and then took his hand and continued to walk forward, seeing that he had left the area where the craftsmen had just gathered and entered a corridor leading to another area, he said in a deep voice: "Does the fourth prince know where he is wrong?" ”
"I don't know." The fourth prince snorted angrily, his face full of unconvinced, "There must be something wrong with this guy!" ”
"Well, you have good eyesight, and you have found out the person your father planted here." Hua Qi teased with a smile, and found that the little guy on the side immediately lost his voice, he looked down, and sure enough, he saw the fourth prince open his mouth wide, and then completely cried and lost his face.
Finally, the fourth prince didn't ask the stupid question of why his father wanted to install people here, and he didn't say much, but only led the way in front.
When they arrived at another workshop, although the four princes drooped their heads, they were still young in the end, and they were soon attracted by all kinds of spinning wheels and looms, and they were reactivated. It's just that Hua Qi saw that the little guy forgot that the emperor was still in front of him, and he was scurrying around like a monkey to see the excitement, and he didn't say anything, until the fourth prince suddenly bumped into a person head-on.
I saw that Fang Qing, who had just followed the emperor, didn't know when he would go and return, and suddenly appeared in front of the four princes. And after the fourth prince staggered back a few steps, Fang Qing, who saw him clearly, couldn't help but call out directly: "Fourth prince? ”
Worst...... The fourth prince didn't expect that Fang Qing would go and return. If this kid had ridiculed his third brother before, so he was a little disgusted with people, then at this time, this guy recklessly revealed his identity, and he was simply angry.
Seeing that the few craftsmen he had just spoken to were staring at him dumbfounded, and the eyes around him were obviously very strange, as if people were struggling with how to treat him as a prince, he had to hurriedly remedy: "I'm just going to come and see Uncle Hua Qi today, I don't mean anything else, everyone doesn't care about me, just treat me as an ordinary idler!" ”
As he spoke, he said in a small adult manner: "I have heard the teacher say that labor is the most glorious, and today I see everyone busy, I want to say that everyone has worked hard!" ”
Even Hua Qi couldn't help but be surprised by the words of the four princes who were in a hurry. At a young age, he knew how to comfort the craftsmen, was this the emperor taught well, or was the fourth prince well-qualified? At least it's much smarter than the stunned young man in front of him!
And Fang Qing, who had just woken up to the fact that he had said the wrong thing again, had a blue and white face that was blue and white, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. It was the fourth prince who impressed him too much, so he couldn't help but blurt out, obviously he couldn't help but see the emperor before!
He was thinking like this, but he heard a cough from behind him, and turned his head to see that it was Xiao Peanut who came back with Guan Qiu, Song Juren, and the emperor, and he suddenly didn't know how to remedy it.
At this moment, if the four princes pounced on him and shouted his father, everyone in the workshop would probably know that the emperor was coming! If there are people with ulterior motives in it, how can they stop it? Moreover, the little peanut next to Zhang Shou was heard to be from Cangzhou, and he was also related to the chaotic people who detained the eldest prince......
His mind went blank, Fang Qing turned around to face the emperor again, but he didn't know what to say. At this time, he saw the emperor smiling at him, and then suddenly beckoned. Just when he thought that the emperor was calling him, he was hesitating in his heart, but he saw a sound of footsteps around him, and when he looked again, it was the four princes who ran over directly.
"Have you seen enough?" The emperor asked with a pun, and when he saw that the fourth prince nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice, he said lightly, "I appreciate this place very much." Seeing that Guan Qiu was slightly stunned at first, and then seemed to realize something, his eyes widened, and he smiled slightly, "I appreciate your dexterous hands and clever minds, as for etiquette, it doesn't matter. ”
Seeing Guan Qiu hurriedly bowing and saluting, the emperor glanced at Fang Qing, who was at a loss, and suddenly said: "Since you are a student of Yue Shanchang, Zhaoming Academy, don't follow this Song bastard to fool around, read your book well, next year's exam is the best, if you fail the exam, follow Zhang Chen and Zhu Er's to take a walk, sharpen it, and by the way, take care of your mouth." ”
And after teaching Fang Qing a lesson, he glanced at Song Judao: "Song bastard, don't sell sugar water all day long." Whether it's the final of the Imperial Chef selection or the exam, you must pass at least one of them, otherwise I will directly ask people to escort you to the Guangzhou Guild Hall and let your uncle discipline you well! ”
The emperor shocked Song Juren and Fang Qing in a few words, and then glanced at Xiao Peanut: "You said before that you seem to have seen me somewhere, do you think that I am very similar to the evil obstacle of the eldest prince?" Rest assured, he won't have another chance to harm people. ”
The fourth prince saw that the emperor left these words and walked straight out, and he hurriedly chased after him. endured and endured, but in the end I still couldn't help but whisper about the previous craftsman "uncle", only to see the emperor suddenly stop. He thought that his father was going to blame him next, but he didn't expect that people would frown and scold: "This Chu Kuan, do everything superfluous!" ”
