Chapter 452: Contentment
The scorching summer day scorched the earth like a stream of water, going up against the sky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the city gate of Luoyang Mansion, a team of about 500 people slowly walked in.
"It's finally here!" Lu Qing took off his hat and looked at the familiar but unfamiliar city gate.
"Ah...... If I don't do it again, I'll be dying. Yu Nan took the pu fan, opened the placket and kept fanning.
"Oh, Nan Nan has been looked at!" Li Fei laughed and walked to Yu Nan's side.
"Dead girl begging for beating!" Yu Nan immediately took the pu fan and patted it at Li Fei with dissatisfaction, Li Fei just took a step back, and then enjoyed the cool breeze from Yu Nan's fan with a comfortable face.
"Don't make a fuss, isn't it too hot?" Lu Qing glared at the second daughter unhappily, and after the second daughter reined in, she walked to the front of the team, found Zhong Xiaoshi and said, "I don't know if the owner can arrange it?" ”
"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu, the sect leader has already been arranged, by the way, Mr. Kong said, if there are no outsiders in Beijing, we can call the sect leader at will, but if there are outsiders, we can only call the sect leader the head of the sect, the master or the national teacher!"
"Oh, it's Qing'er who is abrupt, I'll relay them." After Lu Qing gave a salute, he turned back to Yu Nan and the others to pass the word.
"I haven't seen Master for a long time, and I've almost forgotten what He looks like." Zhang Xiaogui rubbed his head, his face was confused, and Zhu Shishi in front of him sat in front of the carriage and looked at the tall city wall, his face was joyless and sad, it was really like a stone.
"Sister, when you see Master, don't forget to ask him for benefits, if our family wants to gain a foothold in Luoyang in the future, we can't run out of money!" Tu Xiaoguo gave Tu Xiaohua a wake-up call.
Tu Xiaohua couldn't help but be annoyed when she heard this: "You girl is so shameless, besides, we won't stay in Luoyang for long, and when Jiangnan is too peaceful, we will go back, and my father will still manage the tea garden." ”
"It's stupid, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the last identity of the whole world can live here, now such a good opportunity, why not seize it." Tu Xiaoguo said dissatisfied.
"No matter how good it is, in my heart, it can't match Jinling and Gusu." Tu Xiaohua smiled, she has learned a lot in the past two years, and she even knew from Princess Xianwang that Luoyang is a sinister place, and if you don't get it right, it will be the result of burning jade.
She always likes to live a peaceful life, sitting quietly in the studio and painting colored ink, or taking a boat to watch the sunrise, climbing the mountain to paint the sunset, this is the life she wants.
And this is something Tu Xiaoguo can't understand, she thinks in her heart that one day, she can be admired like her master, and the scenery is infinite.
When the group came to Nanshi, they were immediately infected by this lively scene.
"Sister, look, is that Master's painting?" Tu Xiaoguo got out of the carriage excitedly, and before he could observe the surrounding scene, he was attracted by the round pavilion in the middle of the cross street.
Tu Xiaohua took a look at it when she heard this, and suddenly her eyes were full of colorful ripples, but she smiled bitterly: "Except for Master, no one in the world can make such a magnificent picture of the Eight Horses of Colored Paint, alas, I am still inferior to Master!" ”
"Sister, how old are you, you have only studied with Master for less than two years, do you want to catch up with Master?" Tu Xiaoguo laughed.
"That's there!" Although Tu Xiaohua said this, she was already subconsciously comparing herself with her master in her heart!
Now these two sisters, the big one is like a flower, gentle and moving, the small one is delicate and cute, eccentric, this noise, to the point that it has indeed attracted a lot of attention, but after they took a look, they were stunned to find that the beauty is not just two, it is clearly a lot of dazzling and dazzling pictures!
Almost all the artists got off the carriage, and at this time, groups of three or five were judging the products of Luoyang South City, and more than a dozen women couldn't help but run to the nearby cloth and jewelry shops to pick them up.
"Look, Huashi Mountain, there is actually Huashi Mountain in this market, it is worthy of Zhongdu!" Zhang Xiaogui excitedly pointed to the flower bed at the main entrance of Tianxiang Academy and yelled.
In an instant, many people subconsciously lowered their heads, covered their faces, and slowly moved away from this guy.
Shame, shame!
Looking at the eyes of passers-by stealing fun, many people in Yanjiao are secretly scolding, you Zhang Xiaogui is also from Jinling, the southern capital, how can you have this knowledge?
"This is not Huashi Mountain, but the women's academy built by your master, and it hasn't opened yet, so you can live here again." Zhong Xiaoyi patted Zhang Xiaogui's head and explained with a smile.
"Ahh Master is really eccentric, this is much more beautiful than our art garden, no, I haven't seen Master for a long time, I'll go in and find Master! Zhang Xiaogui said, even if he rushed to the flower bed first.
Zhong Xiaoyi smiled bitterly, turned to the people behind him: "I just received the news, the head of the sect is not at home, but next to the Luo River in the north, supervising the construction of the Luoyang Art Garden, I will take everyone to settle down first, if anyone wants to go to meet the head of the sect, you can go with the master of the Zhong Hall." ”
"I'm going, I'm going!" Tu Xiaoguo immediately stood up, and after speaking, he didn't forget to hand over his baby burden to his mother, and said, "Mother, you can help put it away, but you can't open it!" ”
"Got it, you girl." Mrs. Tu scraped the bridge of Xiaoguo's nose, then put the burden on her shoulders, and the husband beside her said, "Child, father, leave everything to me, you go with the master of the bell hall to meet the owner." ”
"Ugh." Tu Ping nodded, and walked towards Zhong Xiaoshi.
"Xiaohua is not going to meet your master?" Mrs. Tu looked at her eldest daughter again.
"No, there are so many people, it's hard for my daughter to talk to the master, and after cleaning up with my mother, my daughter still wants to see the master's eight horses."
"Then you go and see, I'll clean up the things." Mrs. Tu smiled and took the burden from her daughter's shoulder.
Tu Xiaohua thought about it, and then retreated without refusing.
"I'm also going to meet the owner, my things, just put them in the carriage for the time being, and I'll take everyone to settle down." After Lu Qing and Li Yuan finished speaking, they also walked towards Zhong Xiaoshi.
When Zhong Xiaoshi and his group came to the bank of the Luo River, they saw at a glance that a slender young man in a white robe was talking to several carpenters in the pile of wood.
"Master!" Tu Xiaoguo ran over excitedly, seeing that he was going to give Dong Ce a big hug, but seeing that Dong Ce didn't turn his head, he raised his hand and pressed Xiaoguo's head, and immediately let this girl not move forward.
Turning his head to look at Tu Xiaoguo, Dong Ce said angrily: "Is it itchy skin, I didn't see the teacher doing things." ”
"Master!" Tu Xiaoguo's tone suddenly softened, and he hugged Dong Ce's arm and said coquettishly: "People miss you too much!" ”
"Get out of the way." Dong Ce gave her an elegant roll of his eyes, and said to Tao Rong: "Let's do this first, go back and discuss the selection of materials, you have people collect all the tiles in Luoyang, take a copy of each and give it to me." ”
"Okay." Tao Rong smiled and nodded, then glanced at Zhong Xiaoshi and them, raised his hand and said hello, and then went busily.
Dong Ce only then did he face Zhong Xiaoshi and the others, and his brows furrowed: "We, Lord Meng Yuan and Hall Master Zhou didn't come?" ”
"Lord Meng Yuan and Lord Zhou Tang have a big business, and it is cumbersome to arrange, so we are a day late." Wu Sheng said with a smile.
"Well, if you are willing to give up, there will be tomorrow, the hall master has also worked hard, you go back to rest first, by the way, after arriving at the academy, go to Zhen Wan and ask her to order fifty tables of wine and food to be sent to the academy in Jiangnan Ju, Nanshi."
"Genus...... Disciple obeys! Zhong Xiaoshi just wanted to call himself a subordinate, but as soon as he thought of Kong Lican's words, he immediately changed his name to a disciple.
Dong Ce naturally heard it, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Looking at Tu Ping, Zhu Dashan, Lu Qing and others, Dong Ce said: "After you come, let's help build the art garden first, I'll wait for you to walk around and tell you my thoughts, you have been in the art garden for more than a year, if you have any convenience, good proposals, you can say it." ”
After turning around and discussing it, it was almost dusk, and Dong Ce went back to Nanshi with everyone.
That night, Tianxiang Academy was very lively, with 500 people gathered on the playground, pushing cups and changing lamps, talking and laughing.
"Everyone!" Suddenly, Dong Ce walked to the stone platform by the playground, swept everyone, and said loudly: "Leaving does not mean permanent, I let everyone come over, first, I want to give you a long insight, and second, the most important thing, to establish Luoyang Art Garden!" ”
"If we want to develop the culture of the art garden to all parts of the country, and even abroad, we must make a name for ourselves in the capital, and now all the elites of my art garden are gathered here, I believe that as long as everyone is attentive, nothing can not be done, below, I will arrange it for you, Lu Qing, the owner of Gusu Garden, is responsible for cultivating actors, and the big musician Hua Ge is responsible for cultivating musicians, as for the backstage, not recruiting for the time being, but let all new actors and musicians go one post at a time, familiar with the atmosphere, if there are complaints, they will be expelled directly, as for the kitchen, is still managed by Aunt Zhu, and the costume is still Mrs. Tu......"
After Dong Ce arranged his duties, he turned his head to look at the rest of the actors and said: "Don't be lazy for me, you will be assessed once a month, I won't say it doesn't matter, but you must be able to sing, if you can't sing after two months, go to the backstage to serve tea and water, if you don't want to do it, you can leave, I will let you send you back to Jiangnan." ”
After saying it mercilessly, Dong Ce finally said: "If you have any objections, you can stand up and say, if you have no objections, give me good food and drink, the next meal will not be so rich." ”
"Woohoo!" When everyone shouted, they ignored the owner, and everyone shouted five or six to drink, even the women were no exception.
This is also because of the custom of having a dinner party at least once a month, and over time, women seem to have forgotten what it is to be reserved!
The next day, all parties were busy, so that the already deserted academy seemed to have never stopped whistling and singing from early morning to late at night.
Fang Shuwei had just finished bathing, walked to the patio in the backyard of the National Teacher's Mansion, looked at Dong Ce on the rocking chair and said with a smile: "We haven't been so lively here for a long time." ”
"What's the excitement, it's annoying." Dong Ce picked up the teapot and took a sip, then suddenly said to the other party: "By the way, what are the major arrangements for the Guoan Mansion recently?" ”
"No, how could Tserang ask that?" Fang Shuwei said curiously.
"Didn't you?" Dong Ce frowned, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's normal if you don't." ”
Fang Shuwei sat down beside Dong Ce, stretched out her hand to touch the little tiger who was napping on the side, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything that Ce Lang can't say clearly?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the National Security Mansion is completely stable, and the weight of the National Security Doctor can only be thrown away at any time?"
Hearing Dong Ce's words, Fang Shuwei was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "Ce Lang wants to lose this burden, and there are many ministers in the court who want to pick it up, but the Queen Mother Chrysostom has not yet opened!" And Cao Niangzi is smart and steady, with her, the Queen Mother should not look for a national security doctor again. ”
"Nope." Dong Ce shook his head and said: "Cao Luorong is using the identity of my personal disciple, she will not be an official in her life, she can only condescend to the background to make ideas, and she doesn't even have a salary, and now, the three envoys are ready to let Yin Xiang take office, once he grasps this power, someone will immediately set their eyes on the National Security Mansion, so it won't be long before Cao Luorong will inevitably be replaced, of course, she will not leave, but become a national security consultant, obviously just coming up with ideas, but in fact, she is still in charge, after all, not everyone can have this energy!" ”
"Celang is so bad, you are going to exhaust Cao Niangzi!" Fang Shuwei is happy again, and only she knows that Dong Ce is going to be the shopkeeper, so she naturally hopes that Cao Luorong has been presiding over the overall situation in the Guoan Mansion, although Cao Luorong is young, but Celang is also young, this is talent, some people are born to be good at doing big things, and some people, like her, can only make a small contribution to the court and the people in obscurity!
Even so, Fang Shuwei was not dissatisfied, she didn't even want to be the current captain of the criminal arrest team, she just wanted to be a little catcher, catch thieves, investigate cases, and have more time to accompany Celang, she was very satisfied.
