Chapter 173 The Uninvited Guest
In Zhongshu Province, in the court room of Minister Cai Jing, Cai Xuan walked in with a piece of paper.
"Erlang is here, but there is something."
"Father, look at these two poems."
Cai Jing took the piece of paper handed by his son, and saw that there were two poems copied on it, which were Gu Haotian's "Qinyuan Spring" and "Man Jianghong", he read it carefully and asked:
"Although this word is arrogant, it also has some power, but where does it come from?"
Cai Ying came back late last night, and Cai Jing had already fallen asleep in his old age, so he only looked for his second brother and didn't bother him.
"Last night, Wulang copied it in Alum Tower, and it has spread all over the capital this morning, but it was made by that kid named Gu Haotian from Jingdong Road."
"This person's name is familiar."
"It's the Jingdong who talks about the relationship between the three countries."
"Oh!"
Cai Jing answered, and then asked:
"What does Jiro think?"
"It's also a rare talent, so let Gorou get in touch, if it can be used by us, it will be a big help." Cai Xuan obviously had thought about it and said slowly.
Cai Jing pondered for a while, and then said, "You can do it yourself." ”
After breakfast, when he had nothing to do, Gu Haotian pulled Xiao Rang to find Zhu Gui. The Shanshui Inn is about to open again, and he is going to design the three private rooms on the first and second floors. The large suite among them has already been renovated, and the other two smaller ones have been sorted out by Zhu Gui according to his intentions in the early stage, and now they are just some decorations.
The three of them walked around and carefully worked out some decoration plans before they came out. But as soon as he looked up, Gu Haotian saw the three signs hanging at the door of each private room, with the words A, B, and C written respectively, and suddenly felt a great loss of elegance, so he thought of the naming skills of the box in later generations, and immediately gave birth to a brilliant idea.
"Two, in these private rooms, we are all decorated according to the elegant style, I think the names of these three private rooms, also have to be changed, the largest one in the back row is called 'Qin Yuanchun', so the word is also engraved and hung on both sides, and make a couplet;
Gu Haotian thought for a while, what he had left available was "Man Jianghong" and "Yanqiu Ci", "Man Jianghong" he had another use, "Touching the Fish, Yanqiu Ci" had to be kept secret for Master Li, it was better to choose another song, then a song suddenly jumped out of his heart, thinking that it was it, just heroic and graceful. So he said:
"This is called "Slow Voice", I will write a word for you, and engrave it together and hang it together tomorrow."
Gu Haotian returned to the box, just did it, and wrote down Li Qingzhao's work in his later years.
"Searching, deserted, miserable and miserable. When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to breathe. Three glasses and two light wines, how can he be in a hurry late. The geese are also sad, but they are old acquaintances.
Yellowfare flowers are piled up all over the ground. Haggard and damaged, who can pick it now. Guarding the window, how can you be born alone in the dark. The sycamore is more drizzle, and it drips by dusk. This time, what a sad word! ”
Xiao Rang took a look at it, it was another peerless masterpiece, but he had been a little numb by this little official's lyrics these days, and he didn't have much to reflect, so he took over the task and took care of himself.
Let's say that Gu Haotian and Zhu Gui discussed for a while, and then went downstairs together, but saw three people coming in from a distance at the corner of the street, and the one who started was the one he just recognized last night, Cai Jing's fifth son, Cai Ying. Thinking about what this guy is doing here, why didn't he come to find trouble for himself so early, so he quietly instructed Zhu Gui to sit in the lobby and watch the changes.
After a while, the three of them really walked into the lobby of the inn, and Cai Yan saw Gu Haotian sitting inside, and when he entered the door, he praised him:
"Brother Gu really admired the majesty of the men of our Han family last night, but I didn't have a chance to meet at that time, no, I found it this morning."
"I don't know what ...... is here," Gu Haotian pretended to look confused.
"This is the current Cai Xiang's Wulang, and Cai Yan is also." At this time, a man on the side introduced angrily.
"It turned out that Cai Yanei was coming, it's really rude to be here, please take a seat."
Gu Haotian didn't know what kind of medicine he bought in his gourd, so he pretended to be respectful, but Cai Yan was very useful in his heart.
"Brother Gu is a famous person, but where he lives, he doesn't even have a name, and he is tired of finding it in the next time."
"I am dissatisfied with Yanei, but this is the industry of a fellow villager in Jingdong, I wanted to open the door to do business recently, but now I am hurting him, and I don't even dare to hang the signboard."
"If there is anything you can't do, just tell me."
Cai Yan saw that Gu Haotian was a hero with no temper in the Jurchens, but he was respectful to himself, and he thought about his mission, so he took the initiative to help.
But Gu Haotian was strange, what is the intention of this guy to come over today, it is better to explore it, maybe he can use it. At this time, Zhu Gui came out, and he shouted:
"Shopkeeper Zhu, there is a good private room upstairs, hurry up and arrange one for me, don't treat your guests slowly."
"It's just empty, Gu Langjun and come with me," Zhu Gui immediately understood, so he personally took it up, and brought tea to someone.
Let's say that the three of them entered the big room, and they were stunned for a moment, and Cai Yan said in amazement.
"I can't imagine that there is such an exquisite place hidden in this alley, even the private room of the alum tower can't be compared!"
"It's all Gu Langjun's idea, otherwise I'll know a lot as a rough person." Zhu Gui said flatteringly on the side.
"But it's no wonder, it turned out to be the handiwork of a great talent, no wonder there are remarkable Sven everywhere."
The three of them suddenly realized, and then followed Gu Haotian to visit, and then sat down to drink tea.
"Brother Haotian, tell you the truth, is this your property?"
Seeing that Gu Haotian was so dedicated to this inn, Cai Yan naturally thought of going to this place, but looking at the way he wanted to say goodbye, he said again:
"Don't worry, as long as we recognize our brothers, no one will dare to touch a single hair of you."
This Cai Yanei suddenly came to the door to call him a brother, but Gu Haotian would never have imagined it, but it was not a bad thing from the moment, so he said vaguely:
"Whoever has a tight industry, after all, he has to bother with help."
"Hehe, brother just open the door to do business with peace of mind, the one who doesn't have long eyes comes to the door, you just report your brother's name, don't dare to let out a fart."
This Cai Wulang saw Gu Haotian's euphemism, so he pretended to be tacit, patted his chest and picked up the ticket.
"In this way, I thanked the Yanai first, and it happened that the chef in this inn also made a few good dishes, and at noon, the three of them were wronged to have a drink or two drinks here."
Coming into contact with the present, Gu Haotian basically knew that Cai Yan should have no malice when he came over today, so he asked him to stay and drink, and after drinking for a while, he would naturally spit out the truth.
Cai Yan and the three of them looked around just now, and saw a rare wine table inside, they had already had this intention, and when they saw Gu Haotian's invitation, they immediately responded.
So, the four of them talked about it for a while, Zhu Gui's dish was ready, and Gu Haotian ordered Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Rang to come over to accompany him, only saying that he was his schoolmate.
That Cai Yan was respectfully invited by Gu Haotian to sit on the top, and he was already proud in his heart, but as soon as the high-grade fairy drunk and exquisite dishes came up, he was immediately lost in three points.
"It's a pity! Pity! Pity! ”
I saw him sigh three times in a row, and then he spoke: "I just hate that I didn't get to know Brother Gu earlier, and I didn't go for a few days." ”
"If you like it, but it's a long time to come, the day before yesterday, the shopkeeper here insisted on giving me three shares, I thought I wanted to go back to Jingdong anyway but I didn't respond, and now it's just right to give it to Yanei."
Cai Yan naturally understood that this was the benefit of Gu Haotian asking for asylum, and thought that this person was also sensible, but he said:
"Even if it is sent by the ancient brothers, it is inconvenient for me to refuse, but this share of gold has to be cleared twice."
"Yanai didn't just recognize my brother, but it was fake, and if he was serious, he couldn't be considered a brother."
"In this way, I will be ashamed to accept it, and I will give you a drink."
And after saying a few words to the two, they became partners, and both parties were happy. Cai Yan was naturally happy to inspect an industry, and Gu Haotian was even more secretly proud, the umbrella of the Cai family is actually much better than the king of Huainan County, if it is operated properly, maybe in the future, Liangshan and the imperial court will be opposed, and this place can still survive.
But when I think about it, if Cai Ying's shareholding is known to outsiders, then people with lofty ideals will not come here, and they will have to bear some stigma. Gu Haotian secretly thought about it and had an idea. Then he whispered in his ear:
"In the Yanei, Cai Xiang is in a high position in the court, and he has always had a very good official reputation, and the matter of investing in shares here is only known to you, otherwise outsiders will not be suspicious, and some profits will not be able to reach the pockets of the Yanei."
Cai Yan couldn't help but appreciate Gu Haotian a little bit when he heard it, thinking that this brother was so intimate, and he actually said to my heart, thinking that although he was in the prime minister's house, he was always managed by his father and brother.
"Brother Gu who knows me!" He filled a large cup and dried it with Gu Haotian.
After such a few patrols, Cai Yan was also five or six drunk, and he was willing to speak, and this would be in his eyes Gu Haotian was a brother who had died, so he unconsciously said some words.
"My Erlang admires the talent of the ancient brothers very much, why don't I arrange for the two of them to meet, if you enter the eyes of the brothers, the future is limitless."
Gu Haotian immediately understood the intention of this Cai Wulang to come to the door today, it turned out that the Cai family took a fancy to him as a "talent" and wanted to be included in the door! He glanced at Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Rang, but said quietly:
"Ya Nei love, in the next grateful, but now only thirteen years old, the study has not been completed, even the current branch of the spring does not dare to enter, it is really inconvenient to come out to do things, when you can wait for the next department, do not need to open the Ya Nei, I also ask you to introduce Erlang."
"What is so difficult about this imperial examination, if you recognized your brother earlier, I will guarantee you high school. It's just that it's a fact that you're younger, and it's not too late to live happily with your brother for a few years first, and it's not too late to do things later. ”
As soon as Cai Yan opened his mouth, he revealed the corruption of the imperial examination, and Gu Haotian immediately thought that Zhao Ding's case must be related to him. also followed the flattery for a few sentences, but in my heart I thought, three years later, God knows what this world looks like after three years.
After some inquiry, Gu Haotian finally figured out Cai Ying's motives, and also formed a "brother", so he had a bottom in his heart, so he greeted a few people to drink. But things are always so unfortunate, just when everyone was in high spirits, there was a noisy shouting and scolding downstairs, and then Zhu Gui went upstairs in a panic to report, saying that someone was bullying the door, and the momentum was very loud, please avoid it.
"Speaking of birds, I have lived in Tokyo City for so many years, and I don't know what the word 'avoid' is, so let's go and see, that thief bird dares to be wild in front of grandpa."
This Cai Yan just boasted about Haikou and just became a shareholder, and he didn't expect someone to bully him immediately, isn't this an opportunity to come to the door.
I saw him throw the wine glass in his hand, and take the lead downstairs with a fierce attitude.
