Chapter 30: An Incomplete Second-Hand Story
The night was silent, but a figure walked cautiously in the night, and soon, the figure came to a place that had been uninhabited for a long time. After a long time, another figure came, and the previous figure seemed to know the figure who had just arrived; "Xiaoyue, you're here"
The person who came was Zheng Xiaoyue in the Xiaoyao Mansion, only to hear Zheng Xiaoyue say: "Second brother, is there anything you asked me to do?" ”
The figure who was called the second brother by Zheng Xiaoyue said: "Of course, I called you here to explain something to you."
Zheng Xiaoyue said puzzledly: "Didn't the family cancel any related plans, what do you want to do here?"
The figure explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just asked you to ask for something."
Zheng Xiaoyue asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
The figure asked affirmatively: "Is there a girl named Li Qingqing above the Xiaoyao Palace?" ”
"How do you know?" , Zheng Xiaoyue was a little surprised, and then suddenly said: "Li Qingqing won't come to Chang'an to look for you, right?" ”
Figure: "You don't care about this, you just need to bring her here"
Zheng Xiaoyue was really afraid that something would happen to her second brother: "Second brother, what do you want to do, I won't help you"
"You are my sister, now my brother has something to ask you for help, are you so ruthlessly excused yourself", the figure didn't expect Zheng Xiaoyue to refuse him, so he played the emotional card, but still assured Zheng Xiaoyue: "Don't worry, I won't mess around"
With the second brother's assurance, Zheng Xiaoyue was not as insistent as before: "She won't be willing to come out with me"
The figure said confidently: "You just have to tell her, do you remember the man on the shore of Slender West Lake, I believe she will come with you after hearing it"
"I'll only help you talk, it's none of my business if she comes or not, you can do it yourself", Zheng Xiaoyue left after speaking.
"Hmph, stinky **", the figure scolded Zheng Xiaoyue who was far away, and then left quietly.
……
The next morning, Zheng Xiaoyue came to the amusement park, looking at such an innocent Li Qingqing, Zheng Xiaoyue immediately hesitated, but then secretly comforted herself: The second brother just wants to meet Li Qingqing, and he will not use Li Qingqing to deal with the prince, and the second brother will definitely not mistake himself if he is so smart.
Zheng Xiaoyue took a deep breath and then walked up to Li Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, do you remember me?" ”
Li Qingqing thought for a while and said, "Remember, it was the prince you and I met that day."
Zheng Xiaoyue smiled: "Qingqing, can you talk about it in private?" ”
Li Qingqing felt that she had nothing to do with Zheng Xiaoyue, although she felt strange that Zheng Xiaoyue suddenly found herself, but she didn't care, and then left with Zheng Xiaoyue.
……
In Li Ran's small courtyard, Xiao Wanrong was practicing writing with the ballpoint pen given by Li Ran, the purpose of which was to record Li Ran's storytelling. In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome about this, as long as you exchange it casually, but looking at Xiao Wanrong's happy expression, Li Ran will let it go.
At this time, Li Fu came to Li Ran's courtyard again, and Li Fu said to Li Ran: "Lord Wang, the restaurant can open at any time, but there are still two things missing?" ”
Li Ran asked, "What is it?" ”
Li Fu: "One, the name of the restaurant; Both of them, the decoration of the restaurant is according to the drawings given by the prince, and one of them is deliberately left on the drawings, so how should the prince arrange such things? ”
Li Ran said lightly: "The restaurant is called 'Drunken Immortal Building', as for the second thing you said, what is it?" ”
It seems that the prince forgot again, I really don't know why the memory of the immortal is so bad, Li Fu briefly described it: "The prince, it is a very wooden screen, the one with nothing on the screen"
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Ran, who finally remembered it, said excitedly: "Oh, I remembered, there is such a thing, so let's do it, you prepare the screen and plaque, on the opening day, I will personally go to the inscription, not the master blows, the master's words have reached the peak of the realm."
Looking at the words on Li Ran's fan, she knew that Li Ran's calligraphy was quite powerful, and Xiao Wanrong agreed very much: "Well, yes, it's hard for the world to reach!" ”
Li Fu proposed: "In this case, it will be a good day in three days, I don't know what the prince thinks?" ”
"Whatever", Li Ran said indifferently, but then asked: "How did you recruit skilled craftsmen last time?" ”
Li Fu replied faithfully: "Dozens of people have been recruited, and now they are all arranged in the manor outside the city."
Li Ran was still quite satisfied with Li Fu's ability to do things, so he said to Xiao Wanrong: "Well, Wanrong, give him the paper-making recipe."
Xiao Wanrong was a little puzzled, didn't the paper-making recipe be given to Li Shimin, and why did she give Li Fu again, but Xiao Wanrong still faithfully carried out Li Ran's orders.
After Xiao Wanrong handed the paper-making recipe to Li Fu, Li Ran said: "Housekeeper, this is the way to make new paper, build a paper-making workshop for me in the manor, and then make paper well, and show me after the paper is made, and then I will give you a new task; In addition, if you don't have any money, you can go to the warehouse to get it yourself, and then talk to Wanrong; In the end, it is hard for you, and you go and receive a hundred taels of silver yourself, which is your reward; Remember, don't treat us people in the Royal Mansion badly, just go down."
Li Fu was moved to salute Li Ran: "The old slave has thanked the prince first."
After Li Fu went down, Xiao Wanrong asked curiously: "Lord Wang, didn't the paper-making recipe be given to His Majesty today, how can you return it?" ”
Speaking of Li Er, Li Ran was suddenly a little dissatisfied: "Hmph, he Li Er does things in a hurry, and he doesn't know when he will come, and he can only let the great inventor Li Ran and I do it, I am not afraid of anything; But the steelmaking method was enough for him to be busy, and he didn't have the energy to do it."
It is indeed not easy to be an emperor, every day in addition to the court, it is to review the chapters, and occasionally have to accompany his concubines when he has spare time. You can't really be an emperor without a certain ability, let alone an emperor who has been famous for thousands of years!
Xiao Wanrong was also contaminated with Li Ran's vices, and she didn't bother to take care of anything, so she said: "The prince should rest well, and he will tell the story later."
Li Ran sighed: "Hey, I knew that storytelling was so tiring, why should I bother!" ”
Xiao Wanrong asked quite curiously, "Lord Wang, do you think you are not tired of doing anything?" ”
Li Ran said naturally: "For example, lying on the recliner to bask in the sun, sleeping, taking two steps at will, etc., simply put, you will not be tired when you are interested in doing things, but you will feel tired after the interest is exhausted."
It's not lazy anymore, it's a pig! Xiao Wanrong was quite speechless.
The time has come, Li Ran took Xiao Wanrong to the hall, looking at the eldest grandson Wujian sitting at the top, Li Ran was quite speechless and said: "Sister eldest grandson, you come to me every day, won't Li Er be jealous?" Isn't there anything you need to deal with in the palace? ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wujian said sadly: "Immortal, is this disgusting me?" Hey, I'd better go."
Li Ran hurriedly stopped in front of the eldest grandson and said, "I said eldest grandson, sister, you have your heart, you know that I don't mean that, so many people are watching."
The eldest grandson Wujian explained with a smile: "I usually have nothing to do in the palace, and I came out with the consent of the second brother."
Li Ran was speechless, but he still asked the eldest grandson to sit down, and then said hello to Li Lizhen, the little girl, and then there were two Dream of Red Mansions.
Li Ran was telling stories to his heart's content on the main seat, but Zheng Xiaoyue, the spring fragrance among the maids, was thinking differently. I don't know if it's because of a weak heart or what, she can always feel that Li Ran is looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, and there are emotions such as banter, sarcasm, ridicule, anger and so on in her eyes, and she feels a little broken! For the first time, she experienced what it was like to be a thief.
On the side of Chunxiang Zheng Xiaoyue, Xia Xiang Li Qiushui, Qiu Xiang Wang Yuyan, and Dong Xiang Cui Yingying were all in a daze, and the annoyance that was originally forced to be a maid had long since disappeared. They are all talented women who have read poetry and books, but their love for words is beyond the ordinary, although Li Ran often boasts about himself, but in the eyes of others, he is indeed a knowledgeable person. For Li Ran, they don't know what kind of mood they should be in now, maybe it is a good choice to stay in Xiaoyao Mansion honestly!
After the two times of Dream of Red Mansions, Li Ran started two more times of storytelling about Journey to the West, and I don't know who spread the news, the next day after the storytelling, these maids didn't leave, and they had to listen to Journey to the West, so it became like this. Fortunately, the eldest grandson Wujian only brought eleven princesses, if he brought Li Fatzi and those princes, Li Ran could really be mad!
When Li Ran was telling stories about his journey to the west, the atmosphere was definitely better than that of storytelling Dream of Red Mansions, after all, so many of them were half-grown children, and every time they came to the monsters, the girls were shocked; Every time Sun Wukong fights monsters, the girls are happy and cheering; The two different storytellers are really difficult for Li Ran.
After today's storytelling is over, Li Ranfeng returned to the recliner in general, otherwise he would be surrounded by the little princesses chattering non-stop.
In the imperial garden of the palace, Li Ke and Li Fatzi were staying together and complaining about Li Ran. The two people who were originally incompatible in history have now become fox friends because of Li Ran, if Li Chengqian is not because of the prince, he must always maintain the majesty of the prince, I am afraid that he will also complain with Li Ke and the two at this time! As for the other princes, I really don't know where to stay.
Li Fatzi said unhappily: "This fairy is real, and he won't let us listen to such a beautiful story."
Li Ke also said a little unpleasantly: "That is, it is also a story specially told for women, and I have heard some of the Dream of Red Mansions say that it is indeed suitable for women, but Journey to the West is definitely suitable for us gentlemen."
Li Fatzi sighed: "Yes, now I can only listen to some incomplete second-hand stories"
Li Ke suddenly put forward an idea and said: "I got the news that there is a new restaurant in Dongshi that is about to open, and it will open in three days, and the immortals will also go when they arrive, why don't we go and have fun, maybe there will be some gains."
"Good idea, but you have to be quite conscious"
"How do you learn to speak to immortals, have you learned it?"
