Chapter 139: Your Majesty Comes in Person
Yan Wan pursed the corners of her lips and said, "Although His Royal Highness recruits bachelors, but the concubines look at them, and the articles and talents are all good, but they lack the opportunity to change. Especially for the twists and turns above the court, they-" With their hands in the air, Yan Wan was a little difficult to phrase, worried that criticizing these literati and scholars would arouse Li Tai's dissatisfaction.
Li Tai didn't care, and said: "What Concubine Ai said is very true. I'm also thinking, if there is a person like Xu Qilin around me, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? ”
This is said more explicitly, how can Yan Wan, as his wife, not understand what he meant? You are already a prince, what else do you need to add wings? You're going to fly!
To say that you don't want to go one step higher is false. Yan Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness Corporal Lixian, if Xu Qilin is a talent, it is not too much to recruit, right?" ”
Li Tai thought for a while, shook his head and said, "When I compiled the "Chronicles of the Earth" to my father, I also showed the intention of soliciting, but he politely declined. Now, he is favored by his father and has just presided over the Great Profit Treasury, and I am afraid he will not abandon one or the other. ”
After a pause, Li Tai continued: "Besides, what Xu Qilin said to me is not direct, or implicit, or obscure. ”
Yan Wan said, "Maybe he's cautious, or he's scruples, and doesn't want to show his inclination too obviously?" ”
Li Tai thought about it and nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then it may be better not to solicit it directly, but to be closer." ”
"Your Highness, this is a very good discussion." Yan Wan said with a smile: "Since he is willing to give advice, he must still be inclined to His Highness in his heart, and there is no harm in marrying him." ”
"Concubine Ai's words are extremely true." Li Tai became a little excited again, and said: "He is so skillful, and he often negotiates with the Ministry of Industry and dignitaries. I'll look at his other preferences and slowly get acquainted, that's it. ”
"The concubine understands, just send someone to inform her father." Yan Wan got up and said, "Your Highness, it's time to go to dinner." ”
Li Tai stood up, slapped his thigh, and said with a wry smile: "Listening to Xu Qilin's words, it's really hard for me to run and bump." ”
Yan Wan smiled: "After eating, the concubine body will knead you loosely." To say, Your Highness hasn't exercised like this for a long time. ”
Li Tai smiled, as if he was also surprised by his obesity.
………………
was troubled by Li Chengqian's mental illness, Xu Qilin's mood was affected for several days, and he simply didn't go to the workshop outside the city, so he sat in the office of Xiudefang drinking tea and writing books.
Guidance, is to listen to the report, give a way, let the people below do it. It's a big deal to experiment a few more times, failure is a success!
Fortunately, the rough processing of wool and the development of inks are not high in technical content, and they have achieved initial results.
Xu Qilin thought that he would be able to transcribe almost all the tea scriptures tonight, and maybe he could enter the palace tomorrow and present the book and experimental results, and after His Majesty Li Er was satisfied, he could start the next step.
The reason why he was not in a hurry was that Xu Qilin came counting the time. When you are nervous, when you are loose, just set aside your free time, take your little sister to play in the Zhuangzi for a few days, and it can be regarded as a small summer vacation.
And the most pleasing thing about him is that he built the canteen of the unit, and the cook in the house came to work for a few days and taught for a few days, and several peers learned everything. The taste is reasonable, and there is still room for improvement.
Anyway, everyone said that it was good, and Xu Qilin didn't want to run back and forth, so he simply ate in the unit and took a nap in the unit.
The unit is my home, I eat and live, this work attitude, no one finds fault, right?
What, eat and drink at public expense? Hehe, the Tang Dynasty was here, what is it to eat a canteen? However, the imperial court had regulations that the administrative bodies at the state and county levels could hold official banquets on a regular basis, and the expenses were paid by the government, which was called public banquets or official banquets. Such banquets are also allowed to recruit prostitutes, and the fees are also paid by the government.
To catch up with the grand festival, all government agencies still have to hold banquets at public expense, and it is impossible to do so.
Today, Xu Qilin specially held a send-off banquet for three exploration experts transferred from the Ministry of Industry. They will shoulder Xu Qilin's expectations and mission, and go to Weinan to find coal, so that Xu Kucheng can burn a hot kang in winter and be warm and cold.
After a little wine, Xu Qilin asked the handyman to tie his net bed to a tree outside the office window. The breeze is blowing, and the shade of the trees is leisurely, and you can take a nap comfortably.
fell asleep in a daze, Xu Qilin seemed to have a dream, until his nose was itchy, as if he had drilled an insect, and he woke up all of a sudden.
The vision was still blurry and in a trance, and Xu Qilin heard giggles. Spicy is familiar, his brain is clever, and his eyes widen suddenly.
That's right, the little boy grinned happily at him with a small toothless mouth.
Xiao Gongju is very cute, and Xu Qilin will certainly not be afraid of her. But it is unlikely that Xiao Gongju will go out of the palace alone, that is to say, most of His Majesty Li Er has also come.
Xu Qilin hurriedly rolled off the net bed, looking left and right, looking for the figure of the big boss.
"Hehe, uncle, my father is reading the book on your desk in the house!" The little son screamed affectionately, tilted his little head and smiled: "My father said that I haven't seen you for a few days, and there is no report from you, so I guess you must be lazy." Sure enough, I'm going to sleep with you! Are you afraid? ”
I was so scared! But Xiaogong looks like you're cute, but I can't be scared!
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my little liver is fluttering!" ”
The little son knew that Xu Qilin was teasing her, so he stuck out his tongue mischievously and said, "Go to the house to meet your father, and be more careful when you speak!" I'll lie in this net for a while, listen to the movement, and you don't have to be too afraid. ”
Yo, yo, it's fun. Xiao Gongju is really kind, it is estimated that His Majesty Li Er is not in a very good mood, so he came to protect himself.
Xu Qilin waited for the palace people to carry the little son into the net bed, and seeing that the care was well protected, he bypassed a row of houses and returned to the office along the corridor.
There were many palace guards along the way, and the vigilance was really tight. And this is not a real royal security measure, there is no street clearing, there is no three-step post, five-step sentry, no fanfare.
The guards along the way did not stop Xu Qilin, and some of them nodded and smiled as a greeting.
Xu Qilin came to the door of his office, and a guard entered to report, and soon came out to let Xu Qilin in.
Stepping inside, Xu Qilin was polite, and then raised his head to observe carefully. I saw His Majesty Li Er fiddling with his tea set with great interest, picking up the draft of the "Book of Tea" from time to time and reading it, and learning to cook tea and taste tea according to the description in the book!
