Chapter 254: Sharpening the Spear in Battle

Cui Hong also smiled: "Isn't it?" Your brother was with a group of Murowei barbarians at that time, and their skin was very rough, if it weren't for Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wei's good conversation and extraordinary knowledge, I really doubt that you would be barbarians! Hahaha! ”

Qi Jiuniang was very curious, she hurriedly asked, "Steward Cui, tell me, how did they meet you at that time?" ”

Cui Hong smiled and began to tell the process of getting to know his brothers, and Cao Deshun, Qi Jiuniang, Zhai Xiaoshan and Pang Xu all listened with relish.

When talking about the attack at sea, Qi Jiuniang couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah! It's so thrilling! Is An Dalang so powerful? Usually looking at his heartless appearance, I really didn't expect him to be a killing god! ”

Zhai Xiaoshan interjected: "Instructor An is so powerful, when the escort team was conducting hand-to-hand combat training, he held a long wooden stick by himself, beat more than a dozen guards to scream, and then all of them fell down. ”

Pang Xu also nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "Captain Zhai is right, Instructor An is indeed powerful." He dealt with Boris and Du Dalei alone empty-handed and beat them to the ground. ”

Everyone laughed, and after a while, Na Zhe was full of emotion:

"Brother Cui, time flies so fast! A year has passed in the blink of an eye. If you hadn't taken in our brothers, we'd probably still be wandering in the north. Our brothers can create today's situation, thank you so much! ”

Cui Hong shook his head: "This little thing is not worth mentioning, the main thing is that your brothers are very amazing, and if you change anyone, you will find a way to recruit you." My thoughts at the time were just to recruit a few capable people for our Cui family, but I really didn't have any good intentions! ”

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and Cui Hong began to report the situation of the joint shop to Cao Deshun and Cui Daoshu.

Na Zhe sat bored on the side, looking at the sleepy Zhai Xiaoshan and Pang Xu, and the pouting Qi Jiuniang, and said:

"You guys talk about business, we don't understand anyway, so let's go out and continue shopping."

Qi Jiuniang pulled Cui Daoshu's sleeve and coquettishly said: "Son, the slave family wants to go to the second floor of the shop to open their eyes, there are all women there, there should be nothing wrong, do you think it's okay?" ”

Cui Daoshu nodded and said, "You go, we still have to talk for a long time, if you like something, buy it." ”

Qi Jiuniang said with a smile: "Childe, you forgot, these things are rare items in Jinling City, but they are available in supermarkets on Qishan Island." I just wanted to see it, I didn't want to buy anything. ”

Cui Daoshu slapped his head: "I'm really confused, then you can go and take a look." If you have something, you will call the guards. ”

Pang Xu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the head of the family, we will protect Jiuniang." ”

Na Zhe patted Pang Xu's shoulder: "You are stupid, the man on the second floor can't go up, if you want to go up, you cut the chicken*." ”

Qi Jiuniang covered her mouth and smiled, Pang Xu was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, "That sir, I don't want to cut that thing." Can I make up as a woman? Anyway, in Qishan Island, we are also trained in makeup. I dressed up as a woman to make sure people couldn't see it. ”

Na Zhe kicked him angrily, "Get out of here, don't let me see you again." If you put on the makeup of a woman, you will be disgusted to death. I would even throw up overnight meals. ”

Pang Xu immediately fled, and shouted before leaving: "Sir, I'll go put on makeup, and then I'll go to the Han Mansion to find Qin Wanlan, disgusting her, you don't have to worry about being beaten to death by Fang Juniang, hahaha!" ”

The people in the room laughed, and Na Zhe was also angry and happy, and ran after Pang Xu.

-------------------- -------------------- -----------------------

In the evening, everyone returned to Caofu, they were so tired that they didn't want to move, only Qi Jiuniang looked at a lot of shopping results with great interest, and ran around in the lobby of Caofu.

Na Zhe reclined on the low couch, drinking tea, and said with emotion: "I said Lao Qi, women and men are different!" She went shopping all day, why is she still so energetic? ”

Cui Daoshu shook his head helplessly: "Leave her alone, this woman is crazy." Du Dalei, a bastard, is afraid of her in addition to being afraid of Fu Hongyu. I really can't do anything about her! ”

Cao Deshun looked at it with a smile next to him and didn't speak.

At this time, a steward of the Cao Mansion walked in, and said after giving a salute: "The head of the family, Xu Shilang is here and has already entered the gate. ”

Everyone hurriedly stood up and went out together to greet Seo Hyun.

Seeing this, Qi Jiuniang obediently went back to her room.

As soon as everyone walked out of the lobby, they saw Xu Xuan walking slowly and leisurely, followed by Shu Ya.

After everyone greeted the ceremony, Cao Deshun invited the two into the lobby.

After everyone was seated, the maid of Cao's mansion served tea.

Xu Xuan opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, Your Majesty knows that Cui Gongzi and Qi Jiuniang have come to Jinling City, so you will enter the palace together tomorrow." ”

Everyone was very surprised, Cui Daoshu and Qi Jiuniang only came to Cao Mansion yesterday, how could Li Yu know so quickly?

Cao Deshun secretly thought, could it be that there was a spy in his family? Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu also had this idea, and they both looked at Cao Deshun.

Shu Ya smiled and said, "You don't have to be surprised, the royal guards are not all wine bags and rice bags. The big and small things in Jinling City can't hide their eyes. So today, His Majesty knows that the queen misses Qi Jiuniang very much, so she asked Cui Gongzi to enter the palace with her, saying that she still wants to hear Qi Jiuniang's singing. ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was not that Cao Fu had a spies.

Na Zhe smiled and asked, "Shu Ya is a great talent, why are you free today and come to Cao Mansion?" ”

Shu Ya said helplessly: "Among the Lang of my official residence and etiquette department, Xu Shilang is my top boss, and the official has been sent, I dare not come." ”

Everyone laughed, Xu Xuan stroked his beard and said, "Shu Langzhong, you are speaking with a clear conscience." When I left the palace, you had to follow the official and say that you wanted to come to Cao's Mansion to meet Mr. and Cui Gongzi. Why did I send you now? ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Xu Xuan said: "That sir, Your Majesty read the "Queqiao Immortal" you wrote and praised this poem. It is also said that your font is elegant and beautiful, chasing the two kings, creating a precedent for a kind of book style, if it is slightly improved, it can be called everyone. ”

Na Zhe shook his head: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, I'm not that good, it's just a few graffiti strokes when I'm idle, and I can't talk about everyone." ”

Shu Ya disagreed with his words, "Sir, I have been practicing calligraphy since I was a child, but I will never reach your realm, so you don't have to be too modest." Xu Shilang is also a great connoisseur, and he can be said to be the first calligrapher in Jiangnan, and he also respects your font. ”

Xu Xuan continued: "Yes, Mr. Na's font is indeed eye-opening, the style of the book is charming, beautiful, the knot is rigorous, the penmanship is familiar, and the charm of the wind and bones is directly chasing Wang Xizhi, which is a rare masterpiece." Therefore, His Majesty is happy to see the hunt and wants to communicate with you in person. ”

Shu Ya also said: "Then sir, can you write braille right now?" Let the squire and I take a look? ”

Na Zhe is a little weak-hearted, Li Yu is a master of calligraphy!

Li Yu is not only good at poetry, but also quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting. Li Yu once researched the origin of the stirrup method, and summarized it as seven kinds of skills: "grabbing, detaining, hooking, exposing, resisting, refusing, guiding, and sending".

Li Yu is good at calligraphy, mostly writing with a trembling pen, and the lines are strong, like cold pine and frost bamboo, known as the "golden wrong knife"; He also likes to write big characters, takes the scroll as the pen, swaying the wish, and is known as the "book of the placket". Li Yu once showed the calligraphy works collected by the Southern Tang Dynasty Secret Mansion, and ordered Xu Xuan to carve it into "Shengyuan Post", which was rated as "the ancestor of the law".

Na Zhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Xu Shilang, Shu Langzhong, after I enter the palace tomorrow, I will try my best to write some words that will satisfy Your Majesty, you can treat me as a fart today, I will go back to practice calligraphy now, and say goodbye." ”

After saying that, he fled in a hurry, and did not look back.

Xu Xuan and Shu Yale were overwhelmed and laughed at him.

Na Zhe ran back to the courtyard where he lived and let out a sigh of relief.

These literati are really too difficult! Fortunately, Lao Tzu ran fast, otherwise he would have been tortured to death by them for a while!

He entered the house and shouted, "Little civet slave, come out quickly, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me, brother, I want to practice calligraphy." ”

Hearing this, the tanuki put down his work and ran out of the back room.

"Childe, what do you want me to do?"

Na Zhe sat down, and then said: "Prepare the four treasures of the study room for me, and my brother will practice calligraphy." ”

The raccoon slave was very curious, she had never seen Na Zhe write, and she didn't know what kind of nerves he had today, so he actually wanted to practice calligraphy.

Seeing the surprised expression on the face of the raccoon slave, Na Zhe said triumphantly: "Little raccoon slave, my brother will enter the palace tomorrow." Your Majesty the Emperor admires my handwriting and asks me to write him a few. I'm going to practice now, so I don't have to be embarrassed tomorrow. ”

The tanuki asked cautiously, "Childe, do you really want to write?" It's getting late, can you see clearly? ”

Na Zhe touched her little head, and then said with a smile: "Of course, I have to practice well tonight, as the saying goes, 'sharpen the gun in battle, and if you are not happy, it will be light'." It's not a problem that it's dark in the house, you go and light a few more candles, and I'll have to write in a while. ”

The raccoon slave nodded: "Childe, wait a minute, I'll go get it." ”

Then she went out of the house, and Na Zhe began to close his eyes and recuperate, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

After a while, Na Zhe felt that someone was pushing him. He opened his eyes and saw the tanuki's little head right in front of him.

"Childe, I've brought all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, don't you want to write?"

Na Zhe shook his head, struggled to get up, and walked to the table.

The tanuki had lit a few candles, the table was covered with fine paper, the ink had been polished, and a few brushes of various sizes hung beside it.

Na Zhe chose a pen, dipped it in thick ink, and began to write.
