Chapter 100: History of the Founding of the State
Seeing him see through it, Zhao Yueqiu blinked, her mind turned, and she smiled slightly: "Old Yan is really wise, the younger generation does have something to hope that Old Yan will help." ”
Yan Lao's eyes were sudden, and he instantly put on an expression that was not what he expected.
He said that even if he used to have a good relationship with Zhao Li, but so many years have passed, for no reason, Zhao Li will not allow Zhao Yueqiu to enter the door of the Yan family with such a valuable gift.
It is said that the literati are the most respected.
Zhao Li is a literati among literati and a gentleman among scholars.
Yan Lao stroked his sleeves and said indifferently: "Niece Zhao can come and listen, if it doesn't hurt, why not help you." ”
That's loosening.
Hearing him say this, Zhao Yueqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it, he said slowly: "I heard that Yan Lao and Qian Lao have a good relationship, and the purpose of the younger generation coming this time is to use this painting as a reward, and ask Yan Lao as an intermediary to let the younger generation see Qian Lao's side." ”
She didn't twist it, she just said the purpose, saying that the old man who had lived for decades, since she had already seen her plan, why should she be coy anymore and disgusted people.
After saying this, Zhao Yueqiu only felt that the burden in her heart was a little lighter.
She finally took the first step.
Hearing her mention Qian Lao, Yan Lao was not surprised, but thoughtful: "Qian Lao has a very strange temperament, and over the years, there have been many people who have made up their minds to contact him through me, but those people have returned in vain. ”
He didn't exaggerate the facts, this was a pertinent reminder, and informed Yu Zhao Yueqiu of the previous results, if she could dispel her mind as soon as possible, it would be good for everyone.
"Maybe the younger generation will be an accident over the years."
Slightly arrogant words came out of Zhao Yueqiu's mouth, and when he heard the words, he smiled: "At a young age, you are quite confident in yourself." ”
"Not faith." Zhao Yueqiu shook her head, and her tone was flat: "There are some things that have to be done." ”
Therefore, even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and dangers, she can not hesitate to cross the mountains and mountains, just to achieve her goal.
Yan Lao pondered for a while, looked away from the painting with great reluctance, and finally made a decision: "I can't accept this heavy gift, I can almost foresee the result of your meeting Qian Lao, no matter what you want to do, you will not achieve what you want." ”
It is rare for the old man to be sincere in front of the younger generation.
He has been friends with Yan Lao for decades, so he naturally knows how bad that person's temper is, even in the face of a delicate little girl, he will never be soft-hearted.
If you provoke Qian Lao to speak ill of a little girl at that time, wouldn't it be his sin?
thought that these words would disappoint Zhao Yueqiu, but who knows, not only was she not surprised, but she had already expected it.
"I am worried about the old man, this painting is the intention of the younger generation, you just need to introduce me to Qian Lao, as for the later matters, whether it is successful or not, it has nothing to do with your old age."
“……”
In the face of such a stubborn little girl, and such a huge temptation, Yan Lao's two refusals with the little perseverance left are the limit.
One more time...... He only had to loosen his mouth, otherwise he would be too sorry for Wang Quanen's true deeds.
After half a stick of incense, Yan Lao waved his hand to drive people away, and then carefully hugged the green bamboo picture and rushed to the study happily.
The ninth princess and Zhao Yueqiu, who were driven out, stood at the gate of the courtyard and were relatively speechless.
As a princess of a country, she was kicked out by her father-in-law, and it was a little embarrassing to say it.
Fortunately, this embarrassing atmosphere did not last long, Zhao Yueqiu lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, and saluted Qi Ajiu sincerely: "Thank you Princess Nine for leading the way." ”
The sun was standing in the sky, Qi Ajiu was shaking the folding fan, and even the tassel hairpin on his head was swaying in the breeze.
"Miss Zhao has a sharp mouth, can speak well, and can convince your father that it is your own credit, you don't need to thank this palace, although this palace doesn't know what you want to do, but as long as what you want to do is beneficial to the people, don't worry to do it boldly."
She yawned lazily, obviously a little sleepy, and then glanced at the maid beside her: "This palace remembers that my father and the emperor rewarded some Biluo Spring a few days ago, you remember to put together a share and let Miss Zhao take it away." ”
When he said this, Qi Ajiu was extremely natural, casually put together the thin summer shirt, and said to Zhao Yueqiu: "The palace will go back to the princess's mansion in a while, and if you don't go way, I won't leave you down for tea." ”
The ninth princess has an exclusive princess mansion, although she is married into the Yan family, no one can restrict her to stay, except for the New Year's holidays, she easily does not return to the old mansion.
If it weren't for Zhao Yueqiu this time, maybe she wouldn't have stepped into the old mansion until Yan Qing came back.
Zhao Yueqiu knew that the ninth princess didn't like trouble, and after answering with interest, she led the people away.
Along the way, Qingmiao, who was following Zhao Yueqiu, only felt a little unreal, a simple painting actually got the famous difficult person to do?
In this regard, Qingmiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's still a girl, and when I think about it, Yan Lao is not as unreasonable as rumored." ”
Zhao Yueqiu chuckled, but didn't take credit: "It's just luck." ”
Qingmiao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The slave doesn't know about you, girl, even the master can't do anything about you. ”
She has served Zhao Yueqiu since she was a child, and she knows her girl's character and ability best.
This made Qingmiao can't help but feel a little proud.
It is a great honor to be able to serve such a master with means and ability, for those of them who are subordinates.
Taking her triumphant appearance into her eyes, Zhao Yueqiu shook her head helplessly, and the corners of her mouth slowly tightened.
And that's just the beginning.
Before leaving, she set a time with Yan Lao, and asked Qian Lao to meet in Youranju three days later.
The most important thing now is to find a way to convince Qian Lao.
That's the one that's really hard.
……
At the same time, after several days and nights, the team of 100 people finally arrived in the southeast.
In the process of hurrying, no one shouted that they were tired.
The southeast place, also known as Jianzhou, once accommodated hundreds of thousands of people living here when it was prosperous.
However, after the successive natural disasters passed, everything was lost, and there were not many people who stuck to the local area.
Knowing that the prince of the East Palace had come to deal with the trouble, Jianzhou Assassin Shi Pei Ji left everything in his hands and led all the officials to greet him outside the city.
In the distance, under the yellow sand, a small black dot appeared in the distance, and soon after, it turned into a carriage driving from a distance.
When the carriage stopped in front of the city gate, Pei Ji flicked his sleeves, knelt on the ground with a serious face, and bowed down: "Chen Jianzhou Assassin Shi Pei Ji See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Officials large and small knelt on the ground, and the earth-shattering greetings gradually entered people's ears, but the people in the carriage did not move at all.
They all lowered their heads and looked at the yellow sand under their feet.
A short time later, the sound of the bead curtain clashing, and the wooden door of the carriage was opened from the inside.
A slender hand stretched out from the carriage, slowly opened the curtains, and leaned out from inside, it was Qi Changrong, who had been silent for a long time.
She didn't speak, but her eyes were thoughtful, and she looked down at the people in the place.
This Jianzhou Assassin Shi Pei Ji is a rare talent, and it is precisely because of him in his previous life that the southeast can maintain peace for a period of time.
It stands to reason that such a talent will be recalled to Beijing after a few years of exile and hold an important official position in the court, but Pei Ji has been in Jianzhou for ten years, but there is no sign of being recalled.
Others may not know its original meaning, but Qi Changrong lives a lifetime, but he is clear in his heart.
Pei Ji offended a certain minister in the court, and the road back to Beijing has been dragged back.
As for who Pei Ji offended, Qi Changrong had already thought about it in his heart.
Such people are available.
For the available talents, Qi Changrong has always been stingy and exudes kindness.
"Lord Pei, please get up, the lonely newcomer has just arrived, everything is unknown, and I will have to worry about Lord Pei in the future."
Pei Ji didn't dare to take Qiao, and after getting up, he said politely: "This is the minister's business, so why talk about the trouble." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come thousands of miles, the journey is far away, it must be tired, the minister ordered people to prepare a resting place in the city, and asked His Highness to move forward."
The words were not rude, and when facing Qi Changrong, his attitude was neither cold nor flattering, but there was a bit of neither humility nor arrogance.
Qi Changrong didn't squint, and his eyes were full of appreciation: "Master Pei did things properly, and he was very relieved." ”
This is outside the Huangsha City, there is still some distance from the city, Qi Changrong has no hobby of masochism, after saying that, he put down the bead curtain and returned to the carriage, one hand supported his chin, and closed his eyes leisurely.
A second before lowering the bead curtain, she didn't miss the trace of disappointment in Pei Ji's eyes.
Perhaps in his eyes, he is no different from those high-flying and domineering second ancestors in Shangjing.
She remembered that in her previous life, when she first came to Jianzhou, Pei Ji's attitude towards her was also very confusing.
Now that I think about it, he was too lazy to waste time on embroidered pillows.
However, Pei Ji's attitude towards Junchen is indeed excellent.
Sitting in the carriage, Qi could faintly hear Pei Ji's hearty laughter outside.
To her surprise, Junchen could also talk and laugh with him.
Speaking of which, Pei Ji is not a few years older than Junchen, and the two of them may have the same opinion, so they can hit it off at first sight.
Thinking about it, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and her happy mood was beyond words.
She was clearly recuperating and seemed to be thinking.
Shi Chun looked at it for a while, and asked curiously, "What did you think of just now that can make people feel happy?" ”
Qi Changrong still closed his eyes and asked her, "What do you think Lone has thought of?" ”
Shi Chun stuck out his tongue, racked his brains and thought for a long time, and said boldly: "The slave just saw you looking at Master Pei for a while, what you are thinking should be related to Lord Pei, right?" ”
Qi Changrong laughed sullenly twice, and praised her: "You are a little smarter than before, and you know how to read words and feelings." ”
Hearing Qi Changrong say this, Shi Chun knew that she had guessed correctly, and she had no scruples in her heart.
simply opened a small slit in the curtain of the small window, and looked at Pei Ji, who was chatting happily with Junchen, from the inside.
