Chapter 147: Drunken Madness (I)
Some things cannot be explained in detail, in case the work of the axe and chisel is too obvious. However, there are some things that Liu Yu still has to remind, including his attitude that day, as well as the response of all parties afterwards, if it is just a scolding and no other efforts, the thing will not work out after all.
The more Su Yan listened, the more aggrieved he became, and he couldn't help but look up at Liu Yu after the most shock, opened his mouth, and finally closed it.
He had a lot of worries in his heart, whether Liu Yu wanted to sever the master-apprentice relationship and so on. can think of Liu Yu still helping him a lot when he was down on the street, and Liu Yu has never hurt him, so he thinks that this may be another strategy of Liu Yu, but he can't think of or understand what the purpose of the strategy is.
"Can't you talk about it with Xiaoyu?" Before parting, Su Yan still asked.
"Hmm."
Liu Yu didn't send Su Yan downstairs, and reminded him later, "Remember, from now on, unless I look for you, you can't meet again, and you have to pretend not to know each other when you meet you on the street." ”
Looking at the sad back of Su Yan who left with the help of Xiaoyu, Liu Yu felt that this kid was too attached to him, and he had no wisdom at all, all he had was a sincere heart. Among the royal descendants, this is also valuable.
The rain was still intermittent, accompanied by the wind, and sprinkled everywhere.
Coming out of the chess building, Liu Yue tightened the clothes on his body, he wanted to go home, but suddenly thought of something, turned two streets directly, looked around and saw that no one had an idea, and walked into a South Paper Shop. Lu Chu'er and other female guards had no choice but to block the door of the South Paper Shop, not intentionally, but to hide from the rain.
It is said that it is southern paper, but in fact, all the papers in the world are gathered here. The four treasures of the study are also sold at the same time. There are quite a few such shops in the capital. After all, there are many people who read and write in the prosperous places of the capital. There is a relatively market for those who sell literature and ink.
The shopkeeper was originally groggy, and those who came to buy paper would not take advantage of the rain to buy it, and the door was open to wait for the rain to be clear. Suddenly, I was shocked to see so many people pouring in, and when I saw that it was a young and calm boy in front of me, I also made up my mind.
"This little brother, do you want to buy paper, or find someone to write a letter to your family? Pen, ink, paper, inkstone. Small shops have everything. ”
The shopkeeper should not be a native of Chang'an, and he speaks with a northern accent, at least he is very familiar with Liu Yu, and he is also enthusiastic about entertaining visitors. Liu Yu walked around, all of them were things for the study, and pen washes and paperweights were also sold. When the shopkeeper saw that the person didn't speak, his enthusiasm couldn't help but be cold, and he said in his heart, could it be that he was here to hide from the rain?
"Is there any stained paper?" Liu Yu looked around the small shop, and suddenly walked to the counter and asked.
If it weren't for the fact that the guest was polite and brought a lot of entourage, the shopkeeper would have been angry. This year. Only dark paper is stained.
"Stained paper? Little brother has to look for the dark paper? The shopkeeper smiled wryly, "I'm afraid I have to go to the incense paper shop to buy it." The small shop does not operate this. ”
"Say something unlucky in broad daylight. I'm asking you, is there any thicker, yellow-dyed paper with tiny red checks? Liu Yue stepped forward and asked mysteriously.
The shopkeeper was confused, thought for a while, and asked, "What's the use of this kind of paper?" ”
"I don't tell you what it will do, just ask if you have it, or if you can make it. The amount doesn't need to be much, just a bunch, three feet square, and you cut it into eight parts. ”
The shopkeeper looked at Liu Yu and said: "Little brother, I won't tell you, there are several paper-making workshops behind the shop, no matter what paper you want, you can make it, not to mention that what you want is not complicated, and the amount is not much, but the price is ......."
Liu Yu took out a small silver ingot and asked, "Are these enough?" ”
"Yo!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "You're not going to let the paper be gilded, are you?" These can buy dozens of bundles of paper and go back. ”
"Don't gild, just a layer of yellow paint, a very light layer, not too bright, the thickness of the paper is the same as this." Liu Yu pointed to a pile of paper next to him and said, "In addition, the check pattern is a small red line, a little finger gap, make a point first, I'll take a look first, if it doesn't fit, I will pay you money to change it." ”
It was rare for the shopkeeper to meet such a big customer on a rainy day, so he hurriedly wrote down Liu Yu's request and set a deadline to say that it would be taken in two days. Before parting, Liu Yu bought some paper, pretending to be the purpose of coming to the South Paper Shop, and carried it in his arms.
"Uncle, don't you have a lot of paper at home? Besides, you don't have to come to buy paper in person. Lu Chuer couldn't help complaining. On a windy and rainy day, this aunt took them to the garden and didn't go home.
Liu Yu is used to this "mosquito" buzzing next to his ears. Wen Sheng glanced at her and said, "Go home now." ”
Back in the house, Liu Yu plunged into the study to write, and from the afternoon until sunset and dusk, the maid brought in candles.
Liu Yu wrote and stopped, stopped and wrote, and when he finished writing, he either tore it up or crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground. Xu Xuanzhu walked into the study, picked up the paper on the ground and looked at it, it was all written with clueless and messy words, and it didn't seem that he was deliberately writing some coherent sentences, but only pursuing fonts and font sizes.
"Husband, it's time for dinner, what are you ...... Practicing words? ”
Liu Yu leaned back in his chair, spread out his arms and closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something. Hearing Xu Xuanzhu's voice, he opened his eyes, and said with a smile: "Write blindly, write badly, let's talk about it after eating." ”
After dinner, Liu Yu was not in the mood to go to the study to write again.
In ancient times, the night was boring, Liu Yu didn't like singing every night, so he just read a paragraph with a book review book, until Xu Xuanzhu came to urge him to go to bed. Liu Yu didn't know how long his peaceful life could last, and he didn't know if he would miss the peaceful time at this time when the waves were magnificent.
…………
Soon, Liu Yu's life was no longer peaceful.
On the first day of August, the whole house began to get busy. In order to prepare for the banquet that night, Xu Xuanzhu also specially borrowed a few guys from Sui Yu to help with the dots, and many of the tables and chairs used were also borrowed from Sui Yu's family. Because the feast is a luncheon, all preparations must be made from the morning.
Liu Yu didn't know who the guests invited to this banquet at home, he was wholeheartedly preparing for today's "rivalry" with Su Yan. To quarrel in front of all the courtiers, how to react with "anger and sorrow for their misfortune", and how to explain to the emperor afterwards.
Liu Yu specially asked Su Yan to drink in advance, firstly, to strengthen people's courage, and secondly, to skip a lot of preparatory links, as soon as the show started, the plot development would be more natural.
Liu Yu also has a lot of concerns about today's protagonist Su Yan. Although Su Yan had the experience of making trouble before, it was all for the third prince, the imperial brother who had let his subordinates bully him, that kind of hatred was from the bottom of his heart, and he could express it sincerely without concealing it. This time, he was faced with him, and he was afraid that Su Yan would not be able to erase his face and scold.
Look at the lively crowd outside, and the guests who are starting to bustle through the door. Liu Yu said to himself: "I hope you understand that the temporary harm to you is just to help you for a longer time." ”
Guests gradually began to enter the door, and many people did not know about this mysterious forward general. His mansion is even more mysterious. But now this newlywed couple is the most untouched figure in the court, and they have helped the emperor to quell the chaos of the third prince and the fifth prince, and they have made great contributions, one is the commander of the female army, and the other is the president of the Imperial Forest Army, both of whom are powerful figures. In the eventful autumn when the weather is about to change, the couple will be entrusted with important tasks, obviously the old emperor believes in them and is ready to let them assist the new emperor to succeed smoothly. Then their trend will inevitably come from the will of the old emperor, and it will also become the trend of the future court.
In order to prevent someone from mixing in and making trouble, Liu Yue deliberately asked Qu Zhu, a troublemaker, to be in charge of guarding outside and checking the identities of the people who came one by one. When the guests were almost seated, Liu Yu and his wife also began to come out to entertain the guests. Raising the wine glass, Liu Yu first said a few toasts, such as wishing the emperor good health and national prosperity, and the banquet officially began.
Among the courtiers present, Liu Yu basically didn't know any of them. Most of them also asked him. Liu Yu did not rush to get acquainted with them, but first asked Sima Xuan'er to come out to dance, and while performing, Liu Yu was also waiting for Su Yan's arrival.
Finally, when Sima Xuan'er's encouragement came to an end, the door became lively. A person seemed to be looking for fault there, shouting something, originally the guests thought they were here to make trouble, but when they saw the people, they were all in awe. It turned out to be King Yu in person.
It's just that King Yu doesn't seem to be very "proper" at this time, walking staggeringly, still holding a wine jug in his hand, and pouring it into his mouth as he walks. Everyone knew the relationship between King Lu Daoyu and Liu Yu, and no one was too surprised to see him coming.
As soon as he entered the door, King Yu shouted loudly: "That surnamed Liu, you have a banquet here, why don't you invite this king to come?" This king wants to drink too! As he spoke, he drunkenly threw himself in front of a table, raised his hand, and knocked a table over and let out a "Bang! "A bang. Only then did everyone know that this kid was going crazy again.
