Chapter 154: Quill
Seeing Liu Gouwa slowly walking in under the guidance of a eunuch, the emperor gradually smiled, straightening up a lazy state, but unfortunately a long-term sick king has no kingly spirit, but a drooping old twilight form, dry skin and dry meat, blood and qi loss, and a languid look.

Gao Baorong was a little happy when he saw Liu Gouwa, and hurriedly got up to greet him, took Liu Gouwa's hand, and said affectionately: "Brother Liu, my father is about to see you, go and tell my father how you came up with the good idea of fighting crickets." ”
The emperor couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Gao Baorong's joy when he heard the play, and he had no chances, and Liu Gouwa, an outsider, was enthusiastically called a brother and brother, without any dignity or humility, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and the tall and thin forehead suddenly frowned one after another.
Liu Gouwa saw it, and after hurriedly saluting the emperor, he said to Gao Baorong humbly: "Thanks to the high opinion of the three princes, the villain is a cloth businessman, and his status is low, but he does not dare to climb high." ”
"I heard that proprietor Liu is a merchant of the Jin Kingdom, and he is a businessman, but unfortunately he suffered a disaster of pond fish in Nanping Kingdom, and he was affected by the caravan of Nanping Kingdom, and he suffered a lot of losses, right?" The emperor looked at Liu Gouwa and asked with a pleasant face.
"If you go back to the emperor, the villain is a small trader, and he only operates some ordinary commercial goods, and the loss is not very big, thank you for the emperor's concern." Liu Gouwa replied.
"This time, thanks to Liu Dong's righteous help, he offered advice and advice, and calmed the crisis of Nanping Kingdom, Liu Dongzhu has made great contributions, and there will be a reward sent to the house later. Liu Dongzhu is very smart, only being a small trader, it is inevitably a bit overkill, and being a small businessman, you can make a few profits, it is better to stay in Nanping Country and assist me in governing Nanping Kingdom, and enjoy the glory in the future, it is better than you running around all day, how about it? The emperor said with appreciation and praise.
Liu Gouwa hadn't returned to the emperor yet, Gao Baorong hurriedly took Liu Gouwa's hand again, and said with a little pleading: "Brother Liu, you should agree to your father soon, and then we can hold cricket fighting competitions in the palace every day." ”
"Presumptuous." The emperor listened to Gao Baorong's words, and couldn't help but shout at him, and then taught Gao Baorong earnestly: "The plaything is demoralized, the cricket fighting competition is just a small drama that is happy in leisure time, but occasionally it can be done in moderation, how can these useless little dramas be held every day, not to say the right thing, over time, it will make people addicted, unable to extricate themselves, and the gains outweigh the losses, the emperor, can you remember?" ”
After listening to the emperor's lesson, Gao Baorong had to admit his mistake and reluctantly agreed. When the emperor saw it, he was a little relieved, and said to Liu Gouwa: "As long as Liu Dongzhu is willing to stay in Nanping Kingdom to serve, I will definitely use it for you again in the future, I don't know what Liu Dong's idea is?" ”
In the official history, there are only a few states in Nanping, and even the emperor does not dare to call it, and now he dares to establish himself as the king by taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, the vitality has not recovered, and the strength is not enough. It won't be long before the Jin Kingdom frees up his hands, it will be difficult to protect himself, Liu Gouwa, who is familiar with this history, how can he have the heart to stay in this kind of dangerous place, seek his own death, and hurriedly bow to the emperor and say: "The villain thanks the emperor for his reward and appreciation, the villain has self-knowledge, in this crisis in Nanping, the villain just played a little trick, and succeeded by luck, the villain did not dare to take credit, did not dare to steal a high position, and missed the emperor's favor, and the villain is in love with his hometown, and does not want to stay away from his homeland, and hopes that the emperor will forgive and forgive the villain's ignorance of current affairs." ”
Hearing that Liu Gouwa refused to stay in Nanping Kingdom, Gao Baorong was disappointed, and his enthusiasm just now couldn't help but wilt. When the emperor heard Liu Gouwa's refusal, he was only slightly disappointed, and he didn't mind too much, he smiled and said: "Lord Liu is too modest, your Mingsheng and secretly descended, transferred the tiger from the mountain, and used the reason of promotion and reward to transfer the main and deputy general of the Royal Forest Guard from the guard, and secretly seized the military power of the Royal Forest Guard, a fatal move, so that my two rebels were at a loss, and had to be tied, I am an eye-opener, but I don't know how your trick to hide from the sky and the sea, how to engrave words on the palm of your hand, and hide from them?" ”
"Engraving on the palm of the hand, in fact, it is very simple to say, that is, to use the goose feather tube dipped in ink, write on the palm, the goose feather tube is relatively thin and sharp, and the writing font is smaller, if you don't pay attention to the palm, it is generally difficult to see." Liu Gouwa explained.
The use of goose feathers as a pen to write seems to be the first of its kind in the British, and this kind of pen was directly called a quill pen at that time. It was with this kind of quill pen that Liu Gouwa wrote out her overall plan on Gao Baorong's palm, let Gao Baorong bring it into the palace, and informed the emperor who looked like he was under house arrest.
The people of the eldest prince and the second prince just checked whether Gao Baorong had brought other things into the palace, how could they notice that his empty palm also contained such a mystery.
"It's strange that you can write with goose feathers?" Since ancient times, China has used a brush to write, and the first time I heard that goose feathers can also be used as a pen to write, the emperor couldn't help but ask with great interest.
"Yes, dry the goose feathers, and then cut the goose feather tube with a sharp blade, and you can use it as a pen to write." Liu Gouwa replied.
Liu Gouwa stayed in the palace of Nanping Kingdom for a short time, and the emperor who was short of energy was a little unhappy.
For Liu Gouwa to leave, Gao Baorong was a little reluctant, sent and sent, until parting, he whispered to Liu Gouwa: "Brother Liu, you have to come to Nanping often in the future, I am a little bored to stay alone in Jinling, as long as you find something interesting, you must bring it to Nanping to play with me, and I will also be rewarded." ”
Liu Gouwa thought at first that Gao Baorong was like an infatuated girl, but it turned out that he was still thinking about the things he was playing, and couldn't help laughing: "Three princes, we are friends, don't mention the reward, there is fun, I will not forget you." ”
"That's good, that's good, let's make up our minds, what we've said, it's hard for the horses to chase." After listening to Liu Gouwa's promise, Gao Baorong, who was a little depressed, suddenly praised happily.
Out of the palace, Liu Gouwa returned to Gao Baomiao's firm, Gao Baomiao sent someone to send his own gifts, so happy that Li Si and others couldn't smile, and soon the emperor's reward was also delivered, nothing more than gold and silver treasures, and some silk brocade.
However, the reward of gold and silver treasures is not very much, want to come to Nanping country is sparsely populated, the financial income is not too rich, the emperor is a little stingy, the reward of silk brocade is a lot, a whole big ox cart, like a hill, this era, gold and silver and silk brocade are equivalent, this reward is already worth a lot.
Anyway, to transport these things back to Hutou Mountain after a long journey, Liu Gouwa immediately decided to cut all these silk brocades into clothes in Jinling City, transport them back to Hutou Mountain, and distribute one to everyone.
Liu Gouwa instructed Li Si to take people to distribute the silk brocade to the tailor shop in Jinling City for cutting, and said to the little junior sister and Fei Ying: "Ruohe, Miss Fei, you can also choose whatever color you like." ”
When Fei Ying heard this, she thought of an outsider who made clothes for herself for no reason, she couldn't help blushing, lowered her head slightly, and excused herself: "Thank you for the kindness of Master Liu Zhai, the slave family doesn't need it." ”
The little junior sister glanced at Fei Ying with some disdain, and then said to Liu Gouwa with a big grin: "The slave family saw a pink brocade just now, and the slave family wants it, big brother, make one for Aunt Luqi too." ”
