Chapter 204: A Smile Allures the City (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Waiting for the king?" Cui Jing exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Yuan didn't hide it, and told the incident of Hou Junji's coincidental encounter with 1510, and even "altitude sickness" was not missed.
"Got it, got it." Cui Jing said in surprise: "Since the middle of the year, the military department has secretly transferred a few skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor has been wavering in the matter of spitting out after the release, and recently made up his mind to suspend the second phase of the river project, it turned out that you contributed from it." β
Cui Jing was suddenly excited, and walked around the study with his hands behind his back.
Obviously, with his character as an old oilman in officialdom, Zhilu Dao is about to go to war, and he must be thinking about what to do in order to get the most out of it.
"Liu Yuan, this is an opportunity" Cui Jing analyzed very seriously: "No matter what, you have made great contributions, no matter what, you have to seize this opportunity, your background is a criticism, even with the help of my Cui family, you have to stay up for many years to get on the throne, but if you make great contributions here, with the emperor's royal gift, the starting point will be much higher, and then I will have my Cui family to help you, and your career will naturally be bright." β
Liu Yuan didn't speak, obviously, Cui Jing's words touched his heart, and Liu Yuan now realized more and more the benefits of power and privilege.
In these years, not only must you learn to make money, but more importantly, you have the ability to protect your hard-earned money, if you don't have the ability, it's still light to make wedding clothes for others, if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where you will never be robbed, isn't that Chen Chang a living example?
After the last moment, the two said some more words, and under the repeated urging of the old housekeeper Cui Afu, Liu Yuan came out of the study.
There is no way, Huang's father-in-law, who has already missed his life, is so anxious that he wants to cry.
About two quarters of an hour later, Liu Yuan stood beside the carriage of Cui's mansion. Wave goodbye to Cui Jing. "Liu Yuan, be careful all the way." Cui Jing rarely cared for it.
The four guards sitting on top of the healthy horse in front of "Papa" all held a large torch in their hands, and the edge gang dipped in pine oil burned loudly, and the fire was bright, and the fire shone on Cui Jing's somewhat dry face, and under the firelight, it seemed that he spoke with a little sincerity.
"Yes, Lord Xie Lu Xie Shangshu cares." Liu Yuan was busy. To be honest, it is rare for Cui Jing's old boy to be so generous, willing to lend his exclusive carriage, and borrow Liu Yuan to sit and go straight to Chang'an.
It is said that the carriage was inlaid with iron plates, making it invulnerable. In addition to being sturdy, the dΓ©cor is also luxurious. Tiger skins were also laid inside the carriage. At a glance, he knew that the momentum was extraordinary, and for the safety of his future son-in-law, Cui Jing was rare and generous.
Shangshu-sama?
Cui Jing was a little depressed in his heart, this guy, although he hadn't visited the church yet, seemed to call his father-in-law to make him aggrieved. has always been called Lord Shangshu, but Cui Jing doesn't know whether to be happy or regretful, there are still two days to go, and Liu Yuan has to call himself in another way. But, now
Of course, if it weren't for his daughter's sake, Cui Jing would not have appeared here to see him off.
"Grandpa Huang."
Huang Gonggong on the side didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Master Shangshu, our family is here." β
Cui Jing said with a flat face: "Be careful all the way, especially when walking at night, I'd rather be slow than fast, don't joke with your life." β
"Lord Shangshu, please rest assured, in our family, we will ensure Liu Xiaolangjun's thoughtfulness." Huang Gonggong hurriedly responded.
The famous Cui Sanye came out to send him off, and what he sent was naturally not himself, but his future son-in-law Liu Yuan, who was about to get married in the church two days ago, and even the banquet was equipped.
Besides, the third steward of the Cui Mansion sent a bag of silver to the carriage in the name of delivering dry food, is that still unclear?
As a eunuch, the five roots are incomplete, not only are there no descendants, but even the ancestral hall of the family clan is no longer allowed to enter, no worries, the favorite is the yellow and white thing, although people didn't say anything, but he understood early in the morning: in addition to taking care of Liu Yuan on the road, when appropriate, he also had to give some guidance.
After saying a few more polite words, Liu Yuan and Huang Gonggong got into two different carriages, and with a "snap", the coachman flicked the whip, and the carriage went straight to the heart of the Tang Dynasty from the official road overnight: Chang'an.
Just when the carriage was pulled up, Liu Yuan lifted the curtains on the carriage and waved goodbye to Cui Jing and others, just when Liu Yuan was about to put down the curtains, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up suddenly: in Cui's mansion, behind the doorpost, under the bright candlelight, a beautiful and beautiful face flashed from behind the pillar, and the most memorable thing was the eyes like black gems, even if it was dozens of meters away, Liu Yuan also saw a pool of autumn water in his eyes, looking at Cui Mengyao's eyes, Liu Yuan had an urge to look at her like this for the rest of his life.
So beautiful, so affectionate.
Seeing that Liu Yuan had discovered herself, Cui Mengyao didn't dodge, but smiled at Liu Yuan, this smile was as bright as the morning glow, like a summer flower, and it hooked Liu Yuan's soul away.
Liu Yuan felt that no matter how far he went in this life, Cui Mengyao's smile would forever be imprinted in his mind and would never linger again.
Thinking back to Cui Mengyao not minding that she was white, and resolutely agreed to this "confused" marriage, that kind of indifference and ease, as well as her kindness and her appearance, thinking back to the scene of acquaintance, Liu Yuan still has the feeling of a big dream at this moment.
It's good that I have one more person to care about in this world.
Looking at the dark world around him, Liu Yuan couldn't help but think about the little lady and Du Sanniang who were far away in Yangzhou, and he didn't know if they were good at the moment, whether the business of the Jinyu family and Moyun Study was still outstanding
"Miss, don't look any further, you won't see a shadow of the carriage anymore." Chun'er stayed by Cui Mengyao's side and persuaded in a low voice.
Liu Yuan's group had already disappeared from sight, but Cui Mengyao was still reluctant to leave, and looked at each other from the direction where the carriage disappeared, looking thoughtful.
"Well, let's go back." Cui Mengyao nodded thoughtfully. Turned his head and walked towards his embroidery building.
Chun'er pouted and said: "Miss, you obviously want to send him, but you don't send it for anything, but hide here, what's embarrassing, you all exchanged Geng posts, with the words of the matchmaker, the order of your parents, and no one laughed at you." β
Cui Mengyao smiled faintly and said, "Sometimes, it's better not to see each other than to see each other. β
"Miss. It's been a long time since you've been to see Sister Menglan, and you heard that her belly is big again, don't you want to visit your relatives? Chun'er's eyes turned, and she quickly had an idea.
"Big sister?" Cui Mengyao immediately remembered a smile on her face and treated herself very well. The eldest sister who often sends people to bring all kinds of exotic things to herself, I don't know what to say about her. It's good to be in Chang'an now.
Hey? Changan? Cui Mengyao's eyes lit up. Turning his head to look at Chun'er with a ghost spirit, he immediately understood what she meant, well, it's not bad to visit the eldest sister, but you have to ask your father's opinion on this matter
"Tuk" "Du" "Du"
"Smack"
Liu Yuan and his entourage, along the official road, ran wildly all the way. As soon as they arrived at the corresponding station, they would immediately replace the best horses and the most experienced coachmen. Non-stop, straight to Chang'an, careful Liu Yuan saw that every time he arrived at a post station, the first thing the coachman did was to find the post man to register the time, after inquiry, he knew that there would be a specified time for each journey, not for reason, just look at the results, the regulations are extremely strict, if you do not arrive within the specified time, you have to eat the board, but if you arrive in advance, there seems to be a little reward.
No wonder along the way, the coachman drove as if he was playing with his life, and he didn't need to be urged by Huang Gonggong at all.
The carriage is big and comfortable, so comfortable that Liu Yuan can lie down and sit down comfortably, there is wine, meat, and fruits in it, in addition, a few classics are also prepared in it for the purpose of relieving boredom, Liu Yuan is very satisfied with this, the only dissatisfaction is that there is only one of himself in the whole car, not to mention that there are beautiful maids waiting, even Zhao An is not allowed to get on the car.
In the words of Huang Gonggong, the carriage was already heavy, and one more person would affect the speed, plus things were sudden, Zhao An's age was also old, Liu Yuan was afraid that his body would not be able to stand the toss, so he didn't take him to Chang'an, but just asked someone to bring him a message, stay in Qinghe City first, and prepare the semicolon of Moyun's study.
What I admire the most is the Royal Forest Army who rode horses all the way to protect them, along the way, people did not disarm, ate on horses, slept on horses, and the road was so far away. These soldiers can actually bear it, I really don't know how they carried it, I heard Huang Gonggong say, these people are the elite of the army elite, and they are all heroes with one enemy and ten on the battlefield, and they are heroes who have experienced a hundred battles, Liu Yuan listened to the good life and admired them, and invited them to come up and take a rest several times, but they all resolutely refused.
The military order is like a mountain!
The Imperial Forest Army was reluctant to come up, but Gonggong Huang often came uninvited to play chess with Liu Yuan.
Obviously, he saw Liu Yuan's potential, took a fancy to the Cui family supported by Liu Yuan, and had the intention to have a good relationship with Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan also wanted to learn about Chang'an's customs and customs, the distribution of power, and which people could not be offended through him.
"Hehehehe, Xiao Langjun, this game is better than you by two and a half sons, and it's our family again." Huang Gonggong put down the chess pieces in his hand, and his face smiled like a chrysanthemum, very proud.
"Gonggong Huang is really good at chess, Liu admires it." Liu Yuan put a piece of broken silver about two taels on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Gonggong Huang, this is your color head." β
As soon as he saw the broken silver, Huang Gonggong's eyes lit up, and he copied it with his hand, and the broken silver was in his hand.
"Hee hee hee, it's Xiao Langjun who accepted it, but our family is disrespectful, hee"
It's a pity, at first I thought that Liu Yuan's chess strength was very strong, and he only said two taels of color in a game, if he said five taels or ten taels, maybe it would have been made now, Huang Gonggong secretly screamed pity while putting the broken silver into his waist.
Liu Yuan also sneered in his heart, but it was just two taels of broken silver, and he was happy to be like this, not to know Chang'an from you, who wants to play chess with a eunuch like you who is neither male nor female, especially laughing, that sharp voice, I feel cold in my heart when I hear it, and
Suddenly, Huang Gonggong's body was excited, and he trembled, and soon, there was a smell of and irritability, and Huang Gonggong's face tightened, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop, we want to go back to our car." β
After speaking, he looked at Liu Yuan a little embarrassed.
After Huang Gonggong left, Liu Yuan hurriedly pushed open all the curtains of the carriage to let in fresh air and disperse the irritability in the carriage.
Eunuchs like Huang Gonggong cut off the "descendants of the roots", usually can't urinate autonomously, and can only use a thick cloth to put where to suck urine, so there is often a smell of urine, in order to cover up this smell, they will wear sachets to make themselves fragrant, so not all eunuchs like to treat themselves as women, which can be regarded as unbearable.
The future father-in-law is wise, Liu Yuan secretly admired in his heart: Obviously, he wants to communicate with Huang Gonggong more, or he has prepared two carriages, one for each person, now think about it, fortunately, if he is with such a eunuch every day, he can't stand the smell alone, if he changes the cloth in front of him again
Ginger is still old and spicy. (To be continued.) )
PS: Recommend a friend's new book: "Martial Arts World Men in the World of Lu" When the characters and backgrounds in the five novels of "Tianlong", "Shooting the Condor", "Condor", "Yitian" and "Smiling Proud" are mixed into a world of Lu world, then how chaotic will this world become?
And Chen Xiao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, has crossed into this world similar to [The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes].
crossed over, and even came with a big martial arts system that pit dad, this time Chen Xiao was completely depressed. Look at the tasks that this system has given to these cheaters-
