Hua Qing thought about it for a while, and said:

"Then Su Wen is always okay, right? Su Wen also lives in the Zhaowang Mansion, so she should be able to participate. ”

"But after all, she is not the daughter of King Zhao's Mansion, and Su Wen is the Bai family, that is, the queen mother's family, so she naturally took the exam as the Bai family. Because the six emperor brothers have not married, the queen mother did not ask for someone from Zhaowangfu in previous years, but this year, she asked Zhaowangfu to send someone to take the exam, which is really nerve-wracking. ”

The ninth princess rubbed her head, but her eyes fell on Hua Qing, she looked at the woman in front of her Although she was wearing a green dress, she had a delicate figure and a pink carved appearance, the important thing is that Mo Huaijin, a prince who has never gone shopping, is willing to accompany her out shopping today?

"Or, will you go to King Zhao's Mansion for you? I want to come and go, and you're the best fit. ”

"Me?"

The ninth princess nodded and replied "yes", when she made this suggestion, she obviously felt that the corners of Mo Huaijin's mouth were slightly raised, but Hua Qing shook her head and said:

"Although I am the prince's scholar, I have never taken any exams, not to mention when it comes to cooking, I can only cook clam porridge and do nothing else, no, I won't go, I can't afford to lose this person."

"You can learn how to cook, and I think you're a good fit. You will go to the exam on behalf of King Zhao's Mansion! ”

Mo Huaijin looked light and breezy, and the ninth princess also said at this time:

"Yes, yes, you're really a good fit."

“......”

But Hua Qing couldn't feel where she was suitable, could it be that she looked like she could cook?

Because she ate a lot of clams at noon, although the ninth princess called a lot of things she liked to eat, she really didn't have the stomach to pretend.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk enough and left the restaurant, Hua Qing remembered what Mo Huaijin said about buying pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Lord Wang, when we come out, we haven't bought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone yet?"

The ninth princess had a clear expression, oh, it turns out that the reason why Hua Qing followed out was because Mo Huaijin abducted people on the grounds of coming out to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? At first, she thought that Hua Qing wanted to come out to play, and then Mo Huaijin accompanied her out to play.

Mo Huaijin just wanted to say that if it was too late today, there was some distance from the store he was going to, or another day, but the ninth princess pointed to the opposite side and said:

"Then, Songyan Pavilion, there's what you want to buy in there."

Mo Huaijin sighed in his heart. At this time, two people walked in the crowd, the man led by was wearing ink-colored clothes, with a slender figure and fair skin, although it was not very amazing, but it looked white and clean, and it was very comfortable. He was followed by a small man dressed in ordinary clothes, and he saw a man running over in a few arrows.

When they came to him, they saluted separately:

"I thought I was dazzled, it turned out to be really Jiugong..... Ahem, it turned out to be Miss Mo and Mr. Mo. ”

After the salute, he straightened up. Only then did he see Hua Qing standing beside the Ninth Princess, and he doubted:

"Who is this son?"

"Hahaha....."

The Ninth Princess laughed. Liu Chi's eyes are really not ordinary.

He was laughed inexplicably by the ninth princess, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, Hua Qing was slightly embarrassed, and at this time Mo Huaijin said:

"Oh, you can call her a dude, she's my scholar. Talk, my boy and I are going to buy some things, so let's go first. ”

Mo Huaijin turned around and said "go" to Hua Qing, Hua Qing reacted and quickly followed, and after taking a few steps, he remembered that he hadn't said goodbye to the ninth princess, so he turned around and waved his hand to her.

The ninth princess watched the two leave, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was not stopped. But when Liu Chi moved to her to block her view, she couldn't laugh at once, and this stupid Dabai asked her stupidly:

"Miss Mo, I heard that King Zhao's new recruit is a woman, who was that playboy just now? New recruits? ”

The Ninth Princess rolled her eyes and said:

"Idiot, your eyes aren't ordinarily bad."

Then he bypassed him and went straight into his carriage. Liu Chi stood in place, like a monk who was puzzled, "I have bad eyes?" He still couldn't figure out what the Ninth Princess's words meant. After sighing, he went home with his little servant.

"Two sons, what do you need?"

As soon as Hua Qing stepped into the Songyan Pavilion, the shopkeeper greeted her. Hua Qing said:

"I look at the Songyan Pavilion in the name of your shop, I think there will be pine smoke ink in the store, I want to buy some."

Twisting his beard, he asked:

"What kind of ink does Childe need?"

Hua Qing thought to herself, didn't she just say it? I want to loosen the smoke ink. Mo Huaijin said on the side:

"Oh, is there any Pan Gumo?"

"Presumably, the two sons are connoisseurs, and it just so happens that there is really Matsumaru ink left in the store. Does Childe need it? I'll take it for you if you need it. ”

Mo Huaijin nodded and said:

"There is labor."

Hua Qing was a little confused when she heard it, and after buying ink and going out, Hua Qing asked:

"Childe, what you said about Pan Gumo, is Pan Gu a name or a place name?"

"Oh, the name, Pan Gu is a master of ink making. The ink he made, such as "Matsumaru", "Nine Sons", "Fierce Spirit", etc., are all the best in ink. This kind of ink is undefeated when wet, and it is fragrant through the muscles and bones, grinding to the end and fragrant."

"Is that amazing?"

Mo Huaijin replied, "Of course."

"I thought that Cao Zijian's poem: 'Ink out of green pine smoke' pine smoke ink is excellent."

"Well, that's Pan Gumo's ancestor. Songyan ink making to choose fat, stout ancient pine, Zijian and their Li Bai, Du Fu their era may have good ancient pine, but with the pine smoke ink is famous all over the world, the ink-making people do not know moderation, many ancient pines have been cut down, so now the popular pine smoke ink in the city is not used for ancient pine, but the pine trees that grow for more than ten years or even less than ten years to make ink, and the finished product is much worse.

The pine smoke ink improved by Pangu is better than the traditional pine smoke ink in terms of craftsmanship, texture and fragrance, so it is difficult to find ink on the market, and we are lucky today. ”

Hua Qing nodded after hearing this, thinking to herself, the Central Plains is really rich, and in the past, in southern Xinjiang, her aunt bought her ink ...... Alas, it's hard to put into words.

At noon the next day, Hua Qing had just finished lunch and was about to rest, when she heard Lu Luo come in and say:

"Miss, the prince asked you to go to him."

"Looking for him?"

Since it was Mo Huaijin's order, she naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after getting dressed, she went to his residence, stood at the door and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"I'm Hua Qing."

Hua Qing thought that she would have to wait for him for a while, so she stretched her waist, but as soon as she finished reporting her name, Mo Huaijin's door opened, so frightened that she almost twisted her waist.

He approached briskly and said:

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone."

"Who?"

In addition to being curious, Hua Qing was silently complaining in her heart, it seems that Mo Huaijin likes to visit others when it is dark, and the last time she went to see the sick beauty, she was also. I don't know how the sick beauty is now, it's strange to say, the last time I saw her, it seemed that she had been poisoned by Gu poison, but the Gu poison didn't attack, she looked like she was asleep, and she had never seen such a "gentle" Gu poison.

While she was thinking, Mo Huaijin sold a pass:

"Who are you seeing? You'll know when you go. ”

"Do you want to go now?"

"Well, she's waiting for us in the kitchen."

Kitchen? Hua Qing thought to herself, who would be waiting for them in the kitchen? Mo Huaijin stretched out her hand, she was still hesitating to hold his hand, but he didn't give her the slightest chance to hesitate, seeing that she didn't hand her over, he directly pulled her away.
