Chapter 21: The boss appears
The business of Sunrise Court is booming.
There are many well-known people in the fifteenth Yaji, and for a while, the prince's preparation of Yaji for the Risheng Pavilion has spread in Huadu.
There is also the new shopkeeper of the Sunrise Pavilion who has been discussed. Zhao Songshi's daughter, Zhao Po.
This Miss Zhao lived in seclusion before, and everyone had never heard of it. Now that he has suddenly turned into the life-saving benefactor of the Sunrise Pavilion, what is the mystery in it?
For everyone, Sunrise Pavilion and Zhao Po are naturally the most interesting topics. As far as the cabinet is concerned, the new soldier policy is the center of attention.
A few days ago, the prince entered the palace to say goodbye. I don't know what to say, after the prince left the palace, the emperor summoned the lord of Baili Pavilion. After that, the emperor actually took the initiative to mention the new military policy in the court, and there was a faint meaning of maintenance in his words.
This can make the princes everywhere anxious. Walking around and planning, the enthusiasm of visiting the door is even higher than the New Year.
In the court, they unanimously opposed the new military policy, and some people secretly played on their own, trying to belittle Baili Valley as a person. For a while, he said that a distant relative in Baili Valley was not virtuous, and for a while, the brother of a concubine in Baili Valley wanted to be a general, and Baili Valley's implementation of the new military policy was completely fooled by the pillow wind of this concubine.
But the owner of Baili Pavilion has been in politics for many years. Although because of his upright personality, the emperor also had a slight complaint about him. But the emperor still understands the truth of loyalty, and his trust in the lord of Baili Pavilion cannot be shaken by a few reports.
On the contrary, these princes, although scattered all over the country, now they are oppositioned, but they are working together, and they are working together, and they are overwhelming.
The emperor was already suspicious, and after making such a fuss, he found more and more that these relatives had too much power and had to guard against it. And the new military policy is an excellent way to cut power.
Some of the ministers who had been interviewed by Baili Valley before, seeing that the emperor was shaken, also recognized the importance and began to support the new military government.
So in just ten days, everyone was not optimistic about the new military government, but they came back from the dead.
Zhao Po also heard about these news.
Last time in the study of the Song Mansion, Song Jue mentioned this new military policy. Although he said that he was just casually talking, Zhao Po didn't believe it and secretly took care of it.
But it's just a matter of heart, after all, the fifteenth Yaji is getting closer and closer, and Zhao Po's main body and mind are devoted to the preparation and publicity of the Yaji.
When he first started thinking about holding an elegant gathering, Zhao Po didn't think it was difficult. When I did it myself, I found that all kinds of details were very cumbersome.
Among the people who came to the Risheng Pavilion, many lived some distance away from Huadu.
The highlight of the collection is dinner, so naturally the talented people can't be allowed to go out of the city overnight, so they can only make an appointment for an inn in Huadu.
That's it. On the day of the gathering, the lunch of the people was also to be used in the Sunrise Pavilion. But the main thing to do in the Risheng Pavilion is dim sum, and what to do for the main meal has to be carefully finalized.
The aesthetics of the people who came this time are also picky, so the decoration of the Sunrise Pavilion should also be carefully considered. Zhao Po didn't know anything about calligraphy and painting, so he had to ask someone for advice.
When the Risheng Pavilion is properly arranged, Zhao Po himself has to memorize the list and remember his face. I also have to practice words and make up poems. After all, it is possible for anyone who is not enlightened to let himself write a word in public and compose a poem.
Zhao Po was busy for more than ten days. Finally, the fifteenth elegant gathering arrived.
Zhao Po got up from the bed early, put on the clothes he had picked the day before, let Shuang'er comb a delicate and low-key bun, got into the carriage, and went straight to the Sunrise Pavilion with Zhao Songshi.
Zhao Po had arranged for someone to live in the inn with the talented people, in case someone couldn't find a place to eat breakfast or didn't know the way to Risheng Pavilion.
When the father and daughter of the Zhao family arrived at the Risheng Pavilion, there were already several early Hefa writers arriving. Zhao Po stepped forward to greet them one by one, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
Some of them are friends of Zhao Songshi, they have seen the original owner, and they talk about interesting things in the old days, but fortunately, Zhao Po has been prepared, so he did not show his stuffing.
There were more and more people in the Sunrise Pavilion, and a group of onlookers gathered at the door.
Zhao Po quietly asked Shuang'er: "When will the prince come over?" ”
"It should be soon."
As soon as the words fell, a noisy voice came from the door.
Crowded crowd center, leaving a neat gap.
The prince was dressed in white and entered the door with a smile.
The prince became famous at a young age, talented, born noble, and popular, especially among the old-timers. The people invited also had some friendship with the prince. With him, the scene won't be too chaotic.
Coupled with the preparation of Yaji, Zhao Po took a lot of thought. From the schedule and audience management to the seating arrangement and the direction of the porcelain, they are all personally in battle and repeatedly advised. Each link is arranged with multiple people to coordinate and strive for perfection.
Now that the Yaji has officially begun, Zhao Po doesn't have to worry about it so much. The literati recited poems and lyrics, and Zhao Po couldn't hear the good or bad after listening to it for a long time, and felt a little bored. He left the hall, thinking of going to the back kitchen to oversee lunch.
Out of the back door, there was no one around, the sound of drinking and writing poetry was faint, and the surroundings were slightly quiet.
Zhao Po took off his veil, took a big breath of fresh air, rubbed his shoulders, and then patted his face to make himself feel more refreshed.
She didn't notice that a gorgeously dressed man approached her.
"This, but Miss Zhao Pozhao, the new treasurer of the Sunrise Pavilion?" The man laughed.
Zhao Po was startled by the sudden voice. Hurriedly came back to his senses and turned to salute.
And the man, when he saw Zhao Po's face, was stunned.
I think that I can be regarded as a beautiful person, but the delicate and charming face in front of me still makes me feel shocked.
He hooked the corners of his mouth, his body slowly pressed towards Zhao Po, and said slowly: "Such a beauty, the surname Song actually can't bear to let you come out and run around, I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." Why don't you follow me, I won't let you work. As long as you serve me well, you can ensure that you eat and drink spicy food every day. ”
"Eating spicy food every day is easy to get acne." Zhao Po replied very puzzled.
"Interesting." The man smiled even more, his eyes stared straight at Zhao Po, and one hand slid on Zhao Po's left shoulder: "It is indeed rare to have a smart and beautiful woman like you." Why don't you come to my store, how much salary Song Jue will give you, and I will give you double, how about it? ”
Zhao Po smiled briskly, and was about to speak, when a magnetic voice came: "Song's shopkeeper, don't worry about the son of Baili." ”
Then, Zhao Po's body was pulled hard to the right, and she crashed into a warm, bamboo-scented bosom.
Zhao Po looked up and saw that it was Song Jue.
Song Jue still had a smile on his face. Unlike usual, this smile has a threatening coldness in it.
Zhao Po hadn't been so close to a man for a long time.
Her face turned red, and she hurriedly jumped out of Song Jue's arms, patted her clothes, and replied politely: "Thank you for your kindness." Although I have only been in the Sunrise Pavilion for a short time, the Sunrise Pavilion is the first place where I worked, and it means a lot to me. Bailijia's Xingyun Bookstore, the newly opened Caiyin Building, etc. are all hot shops, and there are many talents, and there is no shortage of novices for me. Childe's good intentions, I can't stand it. ”
There were two people in front of him, one of whom spoke in a flat tone and was unmoved; One person was smiling, and he had a knife in his smile.
Baili Gongzi, that is, the son of Baili Valley, the cabinet master, Baili Ye, touched his nose and said with some grievances: "You two sing and harmonize, so you have a tacit understanding." It seems that I am not blessed to be such a beauty. Leave. ”
After Baili Ye walked away, Song Jue said in a deep voice: "Follow me upstairs." With that, he walked upstairs to the box.
Zhao Po said "oh" and obediently followed behind, his heart jumping.
Today's Baili Gongzi's appearance, not to mention anything else, must have made Song Jue strongly feel his own value.
It seems that the salary does not need to wait until the end of the month, it can be negotiated now! And it must be high!
Thinking about it like this, the little anger I had just felt towards Bai Li Ye instantly vanished and turned into endless gratitude.
Zhao Po followed Song Jue into the private room with a smile, and looked at the boss with a wink, his eyes full of hope and expectation.
Song Jue turned around, stood still, and slowly spoke:
"Will you marry me?"
