But thinking about it carefully, Li Mao suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, he came to Beijing on business, although he didn't know when he would return, but he never thought about a long-term stay, Su Qing was about to give birth, Haidong Trading Company had just started, and the development of Liaodong was still on paper. At this juncture, he was left in Chang'an like this?

This feeling of emptiness is very bad.

Li Mao decided to think about it again, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, didn't answer Wang Bingchen and Qin Zaomian's words, chatted for a while and then got up to leave.

Wang Bingchen's face did not change, and personally sent him to the welcoming room attached to the Shangjuan Academy, and asked Qin Zaomian to arrange for someone to go to the inn to pick up Li Mao's luggage. Qin Zaomian settled Li Mao and the others, returned to the duty room of the Zhiyuan, and said to Wang Bingchen: "He doesn't understand, or he is pretending to be confused, whether he is willing or not, he should always leave a sentence." ”

Wang Bingchen was in a very good mood, he twisted his beard and smiled: "The words are so clear, I am not yet enlightened, and the rotten wood is also." How can a piece of rotten wood enter the eyes of the handsome? Naturally, it was impossible for him to accept it immediately. After all, the pool of the Shangjuanyuan is too small, and whether it can accommodate him as a swimming dragon is still something to be considered. This has to be figured out slowly. ”

Seeing that Wang Bingchen looked like he was in his chest, Qin Zaomian didn't say anything, and after reporting a few things that were not trivial or serious, he refilled the tea for Wang Bingchen and withdrew.

Qin Zaomian is currently the secretary of the Jinju Academy, and the official worships the Pengzhou Sihu, but because of his unusual relationship with Wang Bingchen, he has the opportunity to handle some confidential matters for the prefect, so he has his own duty room.

This duty room is very large, divided into two parts, inside and outside, the outside is full of manuscripts, there is a bookcase and a very strong wooden cabinet inside, important books are stored in this wooden cabinet, because of the many secrets, Qin Zaomian's duty room is always locked door.

When colleagues come to find something, they usually stay in the outer hall, and they dare not enter the inner room half a step without his invitation.

Shushi Chen Yuan was one of the few people who often came and went to this duty room, and his errand was to send and receive official letters between the Jinjuyuan and Yunzhou.

This **** had just come back from an errand outside the city, and when he heard Qin Zaomian's call, he rushed over.

Qin Zaimian handed over an official letter to Chen Yuan and instructed: "Urgent, send it quickly." ”

Chen Yuan flipped through the sealed official letters, saw a red thread sewn in an inconspicuous corner, and knew the number, he hid this letter in his personal bag, picked up a bunch of other daily correspondence and returned to his duty room.

There are two people in the history of sending and receiving official letters, and there is another named Niu Le in addition to Chen Yuan, who took the letter from Chen Yuan, and a fief was registered in the register, and when he saw that there was no urgency, he said: "The nephew of the second uncle's family passed away in the evening, I have to go over, and you can send these things." (Baidu search is the fastest and most stable update on the Liwen Network)" Chen Yuan smiled and said yes, put the letter into the cloth pocket, and sewed the bag mouth with his hands and feet.

The two of them bet on the red sign in front of them, and Niu Le helped carry the cloth bag to the horse's back, and then gave up.

When he arrived at a familiar post station outside the city, Chen Yuan sent the letter package, took the receipt and walked back, and when he entered the city, he did not go back to Chongrenfang, but went to Dongshi, and disappeared in the vast sea of people after wandering around for a while.

The urgent letter handed over to him by Qin Zaomian quickly went on the road through a secret channel, arrived in Yunzhou before the other letters, and was sent to Gao Mu as soon as possible. ”

Li Shigu was doing yin and yang health exercises with a concubine, and when he heard this, he suddenly lost interest, he got up and got down, took a towel from Li Changshan's hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "This person can't be used, he is really whimsical, if he wants to retire, he will come back, Ziqing Twelve Prefectures, where is not Qingshan?" What do you want to go to Luoyang? ”

Gao Mu handed a bowl of tea to Li Shigu and asked with a smile, "Do you want Li Mao to take over the Jinyuan Academy?" ”

Li Shigu took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Don't worry, let him dry in Chang'an for a few days first, this is not a fuel-efficient lamp." and Zhang Hongjing of Zhang Yanxian's family, Li Jie, the king of Yun'an County, is called a brother and a brother, and he has nothing to do with An Daoquan of the ninth surname An family. I also heard that he went to Xuanzhen Temple, and it was really a miasma. ”

Li Changshan said: "Chen Chunyu has been in seclusion for many years, and I am afraid that he has already changed his ways. ”

Li Shigu said: "Jokes, wolves travel thousands of miles, eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles...... and if you tie your hair and become a Taoist, you will change your evil and return to the right, it's not that simple." Naturally, it's nothing to make a play on the spot, but how can you talk nonsense about Liaodong. And he didn't feel sorry for spending my money, it cost me 5,000 yuan this month. ”

Li Shigu took another sip of tea and handed the tea bowl to Li Changshan, Gao Mu took it first, and said: "There is money to spend like flowing water, but I think it is also perfunctory to seize Liaodong." The princes and grandsons are talking loudly, and it is inconvenient for him to fall into our prestige. Gao Mu said and handed the tea bowl to a book history beside him, and the book history walked away quickly with the tea bowl in his hand.

Li Changshan said with a smile: "I think he just fell into the eyes of money, do you remember, as early as when he was in Gushan Town, he blackened us with 10,000 yuan in one go." Recently, I heard that even his wife was thrown out to make money, and he was preparing to set up a Haidong trading company in Dengzhou, and hired Cui Gu, the loser of the Cui family, as the shopkeeper, saying that he wanted to do business with Liaodong. I've known him for so long, but I didn't see that he loves money so much, and he is so good at making money. ”

Gao Mu said: "So Xue Rong asked him to be a gold catcher, and it is his duty to love money and find money." ”

Li Shigu laughed and said, "It's not a bad problem, it's really not good to leave money in this world." He is just too young and vigorous, and the road has been too smooth in the past few years, so he has to polish and polish well, polish well, and he will still be a usable talent in the future. ”

Gao Mu said: "Then let him enter the concert hall." ”

Li Shigu said: "Let him be the master of the courtyard, but don't leave the matter over there to him for the time being." ”

……

Coming out of Han Yu's mansion that night, although Li Mao was not drunk, his heart was groggy.

He has naturally heard of Han Yu's name, he was full of expectations when he entered the Han house, but it is better to be famous than to meet, this world-famous scholar, who was known as a celebrity of the Tang and Song dynasties in later generations, seems to have no one on his body at all, but is more like a slippery and cunning old bureaucrat.

He accepted a generous gift from Wang Bingchen, but he played Tai Chi on the things he entrusted, and he refused to say a word about the truth.

Li Mao was disappointed.

Qingmo was just drinking and watching singing and dancing in the Han Mansion, and when he returned to the guest room of the Shangjuan Academy, he said to Li Mao: "This Mr. Changli likes thin Meiji, I'm afraid we gave the wrong gift this time." ”

Li Mao asked in surprise: "How do you say this?" Qingmo said: "You didn't see that the people in his room were all thin and small, I asked their housekeeper privately, I asked why the people in your family are so thin, you abuse them and don't give them food?" The housekeeper said that the conscience of heaven and earth, who abused them, was that they themselves refused to eat. sighed again and said, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starved to death in the palace. I know this allusion, saying that the overlord of Western Chu likes girls with thin waists, and the concubines in the palace don't eat one by one in order to fight for **, and they all want to raise thin waists, and they all starve to death. ”

Mo Qi Shen Channel: "Then the King of Chu is talking about the King of Chu Ling in the Spring and Autumn Period, what did Xiang Yu do?" ”

Qingmo said: "I deliberately said something wrong, test your knowledge, supernatural powers, and your knowledge has grown again." ”

Mo Qi snorted and ignored him. Qingmo said to Li Mao again: "In addition to giving him gold beads, Qin Zaimian also gave him three beautiful women, but they are all white and fat, I don't think he wants to help us." ”

Qingmo's words further confirmed Li Mao's conjecture, Wang Bingchen was ruthless and wanted to keep himself as the master of the Academy.

Qingmo didn't know about Li Mao's thoughts, and he was chattering to himself. Suddenly, seeing Li Mao frowning, he was wrong for a while, and said with a smile: "I remember the appearance of his beautiful Ji, tomorrow we will ask someone to buy a few and send them, and the matter will be done." ”

Mo Qi God Channel: "Buying and selling human beings will damage your yin morality." ”

Qingmo said: "Buying and selling are not the same, what kind of character is Han Changli, the woman followed him, it's too late to snicker." ”

Mo Qi God Channel: "Being a slave to others is like being your own master." ”

Qingmo said: "Divine powers, I just praised you for your knowledge, and you made a mistake, if I don't buy them, they won't be slaves?" This is a predestined thing, who are you and me, can we be more deserved? ”

Mo Qi Shen Channel: "If I remember correctly, you used to be a lowly person, and you were exempted from being a citizen for a few days, and then you forgot your roots." ”

Qing Mo stood up, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot, and he stared at Mo Qi's supernatural power with fierce eyes.

Mo Qi also realized that what he said was a bit excessive, lowered his head, and muttered: "You have to push others to suffer again, your mind is not authentic." ”

Li Mao hurriedly persuaded the two of them, and said with a smile: "The system of slaves and maids has a lot of disadvantages, but it can't be changed for a while. What we can do is, first, to recognize him as an evil law, second, not to do evil because of the evil law, and third, to promote change bit by bit. The business of buying and selling human beings will damage life and morality, so don't do it. ”

Qingmo sighed and didn't speak.

Mo Qi Shen Channel: "Tomorrow, we will go to see Zhang Ji under his banner and see what he has to say." ”

Visiting Wang Bingchen that day, Qingmo was not present, he didn't know what Wang Bingchen said, and when he heard Mo Qi Shentong say this, he praised: "Shentong said this well, let's go to invite someone under the banner of Han Changli and see what he says." ”

As he was talking, Qin Zaimian came, and brought three men, three women, and four people with him for Li Mao to call, both men and women were sixteen or seventeen years old, the women's flowers and moon appearances, and the men's eyebrows were clear.

Li Mao understands that these six people can listen to the call in front of them during the day and warm up at night. Qin Zaomian was meticulous, and even took into account the possible special preferences of the three of them.

Li Mao was powerless to resist such a bad custom, so he had to let it go.

He didn't get a word of truth from Han Yu, which made Wang Bingchen feel a little unbearable on his face, and after returning to the concert hall, he called Qin Zaomian and scolded him, asking him why he was doing a small trick behind his back. Qin Zaomian replied: "Zaomian did this for the sake of the doctor. One does not do two endlessly. (Dissertation College)
