Chapter Seventy-Three: Expedition Counselor
I don't know how long it took, but the onlookers on the main hall gradually dispersed, and the main hall on the first floor of the office building resumed its busy order. www.biquge.info When Lu Huiqing understood it, he felt a heavy weight on his chest, and looked down and saw a cloth bag with thirty taels of silver inside. He looked around, where was the shadow of Tong Guan and Lu Shenyan, and he didn't know where the skateboard on the soles of his feet went.
Lu Huiqing sighed, stood up with his support on the pillar, and felt that the bottom of his nose was wet, it turned out that he had hit the pillar and his nose was bloody. "Bad luck, bad luck!" He cursed in his heart. knew that he was ridiculed by the people next to the king, but he was dumb and ate coptis. Fortunately, there is still silver in his arms, and it doesn't matter if he can't be the shogunate of the palace, anyway, there is no place to stay here.
"Jifu?" As soon as Lu Huiqing turned around, he heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, Ouyang Xiu stood not far from him, calling his name tentatively.
Lu Huiqing raised his arms and hurriedly covered his face with wide sleeves, he could think of himself without looking in the mirror that even if he didn't have a blue nose and swollen eyes and a full face, he was embarrassed enough: "Admit your mistake, admit your mistake!" As he spoke, he covered his face and walked quickly out of the main hall of the Zhennan Wang's office building.
Ouyang Xiu looked at Lu Huiqing's panicked appearance, and asked Li Shen beside him in surprise: "I seem to know this person, isn't this Lu Huiqing?!" ”
Li Shen shook his head and smiled: "Drunkard, you are more serious again, you look at him like that, he won't admit it when his father comes." I don't know if our prince has made another trick to rectify people, and I don't know where Lu Huiqing offended him. ”
"Li Shenzheng, Mr. Ouyang, why are you two here, hurry upstairs and please!" Lu Shenyan walked in front of Ouyang Xiu and Li Shen in a few steps, and his greeting made the palace hall quite a bit of a restaurant atmosphere.
The two of them followed Lu Shenyan upstairs, and the guards at the staircase did not stop them. They all knew that some people in this palace didn't need to be informed, especially Lu Shenyan who took him upstairs.
The three of them went directly to the third floor, and in the hall, Tong Guan was learning from Lu Huiqing to tell others. When he heard Lu Huiqing go to the pillar in a daze, he was able to fold and adapt, and the seed master and He Zhu all smiled and leaned back together.
"Ahem!" Lu Shenyan coughed a few times, and the teenagers noticed that there were guests coming, and hurriedly stopped laughing.
Li Shen and Ouyang Xiu also listened to it for seven or eight points, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Lu Shenyan took the two to the tea room, which was a VIP waiting room. The servant brought tea to the two of them, and Lu Shenyan said politely: "You two sit down for a while!" ”
Turning around, Lu Shenyan came to Wang's study, pushed open the door and saw Wang's side standing by the window with his back to the door, looking out the window, and then seeing Liu Qi standing in front of the bookcase with his head down, as if he had made some mistake.
"Lord Wang, Kaifeng Mansion Li Shenzheng and Mr. Ouyang are here."
When Wang heard Lu Shenyan's report, he turned around and said to Liu Qi in a stern tone: "No wonder Master refuses to come to the capital, you are going to ruin the reputation of our tea field by doing this." ”
Liu Qi blushed and defended: "Lord Wang, I can't help it!" Fortunately, only a few tea merchants are making trouble now, and the head of the tea shop has received our silver taels, which will definitely turn a big thing into a small one. ”
"Bastard! No matter how small the shoddy thing is, it is a big deal, do you think you can make money by doing business by only paying tribute to some tea from the imperial court? In the future, every expenditure of the imperial court will be carefully calculated, and if the funds are reduced, start with this luxury. When the tea in our tea shop can't be sold in the market, you just wait for it to close! ”
Lu Shenyan shrank his neck, and it was rare to see Wang Beifa so angry. Liu Qi's face turned even redder, and he didn't dare to argue anymore, but just whispered: "Lord Wang, the master is also angry about this matter, and the shipping envoy is forced to deliver the goods, so he said that this lap tea should be taken from early spring tea and made into a group of tea." It can be shipped to the capital in February, and you think that even if the tea tree sprouts, it will be fried and then transported to the capital. ”
Wang Bei raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Shenyan at the door, and then said to Liu Qi: "You go down first, and then settle accounts with you when you come back." As for the matter of the tea shop, you go back and say to the master: I will take care of the aftermath of this matter, so that the old man can recuperate in peace. ”
Liu Qi lowered his head and exited the room, and Lu Shenyan invited Ouyang Xiu and Li Shen into the study next to the king. The door of the study closed, Lu Shenyan turned around and came to the hall, Tong Guan was sitting on the table with his legs on his shoulders, talking to Liu Qi.
Lu Shenyan stepped forward and said, "Okay, Liu Qi." You're here, why did the prince lose his temper so much?! ”
Liu Qi waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, forget it." Don't be sarcastic about me, don't say that I can't handle this matter, even if it is handed over to Manager Lu, it may not be easy. The official above waved his pen and asked us to send something to the tea shop, without asking if there was one or how many. If you don't pay it, you will resist the decree, and if you pay it, you will at least deal with it for a while, which is really no better than when the prince himself was in charge of the tea shop! ”
Lu Shenyan smiled: "You kid, you look like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes at a young age, let's go, come with me to eat a working meal." After speaking, he turned around and motioned to the study next to the king with his hand and said to Tong Guan and a few people: "I will let someone give you a few little brothers." These two officials are here, and it is estimated that the prince will have to dine with them at noon, so I hurried to greet and prepare to go. ”
Tong Guan suddenly remembered something and patted his head: "Oh, I patronized the fun just now, and my father didn't see anyone else." Wait for me to go downstairs with you to the ward and give him a shout. After speaking, he followed Lu Shenyan and Liu Qi and walked downstairs.
Lin Haozhi was sitting on the edge of the corridor outside the main hall of the office building, his back against the stone foundation of the main hall, covering his face with a hat. From time to time, people hurried in and out of the main hall passed by him, but few people paid attention to him. The guards on the steps knew that this was the person the prince wanted to see, and they did not stop him. It's really difficult to see the prince and the prince, waiting for noon from the morning, the king is not busy yet, Lin Haozhi is about to fall asleep for half a day.
"Hey, why are you here!" In a trance, Lin Haozhi felt that someone was standing in front of him, he raised his head and saw that it was Tong Guan, a carp stood up, Tong Guan took half a step back: "Huo, why is this, look at what this means, Lin Gongzi is still a practicing family." ”
"Is the prince going to see me?" Lin Haozhi asked with waiting eyes.
Tong Guan looked Lin Haozhi up and down: "I really can't see it, you still have two more moments." It's not that the prince called you, the prince came with two distinguished guests, I guess I won't be able to think of you for a while. You go to the lobby first to find Manager Lu and ask him to take you to the restaurant, eat and drink and wait slowly. ”
Lin Haozhi sighed: "Young boy, thank you." How could he have the heart to eat, and after speaking, he sat down again, covered his face with a hat and closed his eyes, and Chen pondered.
Seeing him like this, Tong Guan shook his head and thought that his father had a good impression of this person, and said that he would be useful in the future. Last time, I saw that this person was a little loyal in Fanta Temple, so I helped him, and I saw that he might encounter something again. Seeing that he is not a few years older than himself, don't look down on Lu Huiqing next to the king, maybe this Lin Haozhi will be able to come to the palace to do things in the future.
Thinking of this, Tong Guan patted Lin Haozhi on the shoulder: "Hey, if you don't have something to tell my son in advance, maybe I can help you." ”
Lin Haozhi raised his head and looked at Tong Guan, he laughed: "Tong Gongzi is a righteous person, I already knew it, I came to bid farewell to the prince this time." It's okay to be early or late, I'll leave after thanking the prince. ”
"Resignation? Why are you leaving the capital? The last time I saw you, you also said that when you got the final payment, you would buy a house and bring your family over, so that you could make a living in the capital. ”
"Forget it, you may not understand it when I tell you. Thank you for your help, why don't I invite you to drink tonight?! ”
Tong Guan was a little embarrassed: "This, I made an appointment to drink with Liu Qi today, and I don't have any skills!" ”
Tong Guan didn't know why Lin Haozhi suddenly changed his mind to leave the capital, he felt a little disappointed, at least he must have practiced Lin Haozhi's posture just now, even if he didn't do the business of gardening, it was no problem to come to the palace as a guard. But I can't pay attention to this matter, and I don't know if Lin Haozhi is willing or not.
Lin Haozhi continued to wait for the king, but the king thought that Lu Shenyan expected, the two friends in the officialdom who came, he wanted to have a good time.
In the study, Ouyang Xiu played with the ivory pen holder on the book case next to the king: "Good thing!" The palace is full of rarity, as large as the way this pavilion and palace is built is so special, and as small as a pen holder of the prince, it is so rare and exquisite. ”
Wang Bian had just read the list of juries that Li Shen had given him, he put the list down, and said with a smile: "This is sent by Gao Zhisheng in Dali, I just arrived in Yongzhou at that time, fortunately, the saint was also there at that time, otherwise I would not be able to clear the charge of this misdemeanor by jumping into the Yellow River." ”
"What? Gao Zhisheng wants to harm you? Ouyang Xiu asked in surprise.
"It's not Gao Zhisheng's business, there are other people, and the matter of Dali is complicated enough."
Counselor Li put the list away: "It's not all the same everywhere, it's just a struggle for power or power." Let's not talk about Dali, this time it was fortunate that the prince came forward to let this drunkard out of the mountain. The jury has the participation of this Ouyang Yongshu, but it adds a lot to this public trial! ”
Ouyang Xiu pouted: "I asked the prince to come here, I originally thought that the old man would come to comment, but as a result, you will only know about it in Kaifeng Mansion, that is, let more than 20 of us raise a card at the end, and we will not even be allowed to say a word." ”
Li Shen said: "Why not, there is! If others don't let you say it, you have to let Uncle Ouyang Yong say it? Right, Lord Wang?! He winked his eyes at the king.
"Hahaha, yes!" Wang Fang thought to himself that Li Shen seemed to have learned badly: "Of course, Uncle Yong has a very important line, don't forget it." In fact, the jury deliberated on how many people agreed to carry out the death penalty and how many did not agree with the execution. Don't be wrong! ”
"Hmph, fortunately, the old man knows how to count!" Ouyang Xiu said, and the three of them all laughed.
Lu Shenyan set up a banquet in the VIP room, and after the three of them were seated, the king said: "Uncle Yong came just in time, I have something to invite, there are more than 30 people in my house who participated in the scientific examination this year, and I have already ordered someone to leave a separate courtyard so that the candidates can concentrate on studying." Now it's a tutor, I don't know if Uncle Yong is willing to deign. ”
Li Shen gave a thumbs up to the king, the candidate for this tutor is too powerful, since the beginning of the second year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiu has been the chief examiner of the scientific examination several times.
Ouyang Xiu raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "The prince looks up to me, of course I am willing." By the way, Lord Wang, I seem to have seen Lu Huiqing just now, and that talent is also very good, I remember the first time I was the chief examiner, he was a jinshi! ”
