When Zhou Mingyue saw this, she couldn't help but come to Li Hongtian's side and said, "Cousin, you see that you scared Guard Zhang. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info better hurry up and talk to him, otherwise I'm afraid he will be scared for a long time. ”

Li Hongtian glanced at Zhang Yunce, who had just followed, and said, "Okay, it's nothing, don't worry so much about being my guard." As long as it is not a matter of principle, I will not punish you. ”

Zhang Yunce breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then hurriedly said, "Thank you, young master, the little one knows." ”

At this moment, a noisy voice suddenly appeared not far away. The market was not quiet in the first place, but the sound was not the sound of shouting and selling, but the noise. I saw a shopkeeper-like person push a scholar out of the door and reprimand loudly: "Zhu Ming, how many times have you been here? You are not that material, we reluctantly accepted your calligraphy and paintings before, and that was for your mother's sake. Now that your mother has died, why don't you grow up a little? Forget it, you stubborn donkey said that you don't listen to what you say, here are five taels of silver, don't come in the future. With that, the shopkeeper threw down five taels of silver and turned around and entered the pawnshop.

At this time, the man named Zhu Ming stood up from the ground, didn't look at the silver on the ground, picked up the calligraphy and painting and wanted to leave. Seeing this, Li Hongtian stepped forward, picked up the silver in Zhang Yunce's surprised gaze, and said, "Brother Tai, your silver has fallen." ”

Zhu Ming glanced at Li Hongtian in surprise when he heard this, and then said in frustration: "That's not my silver." Since Childe has picked it up, it is naturally Childe's silver. ”

Hearing this, Li Hongtian frowned, then looked at the down-and-out Zhu Ming, hesitated, and said, "Can you let me see your calligraphy and paintings?"

Zhu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he was gloomy, but he still handed the calligraphy and painting in his hand to Li Hongtian. "Maybe I'm not good at writing and drawing, but it's the only way I can make ends meet." ”

"Oh, I see that you are not young, you still seem to be a talent, have you spent more than ten years of hard work on calligraphy and painting?"

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said abruptly: "How is it possible, if this is the case, how can I not even sell calligraphy and paintings? I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I am proficient in miscellaneous studies. If it weren't for my mother's serious illness two years ago, I wouldn't have embarked on the road of selling calligraphy and paintings. My mother's medical expenses were so high that even if I sold my family property at that time, I could only keep my mother's illness from getting worse. Later, I heard that calligraphy and painting make money, so I reluctantly made some and took them to calligraphy and painting shops and pawnshops, but I also gained very little. Everyone is just looking at my mother's face and changing direction to help me, how can it be that they really like my calligraphy and painting. ”

"What happened later? I don't know who Ling's mother is, but she can attract everyone to help you. ”

Hearing Li Hongtian's question, Zhu Ming's dark face seemed to light up, and he said proudly: "Our family used to be a rich family, and my mother used to be a young lady named Wang Yuchai. Whenever a flood came, my mother always opened a porridge shack to give alms to the refugees. Later, some refugees made a fortune in Yangzhou, and they still remember my mother's goodness. It's a pity that my mother still didn't get through it, and she still left. ”

Hearing this, Li Hongtian understood, but said: "In this case, why do you still come to sell calligraphy and paintings? Knowing that your level is not high, you should go to find another way out by yourself, with your identity, even if you can't do things, but you can still find a bookkeeper to do it, right?"

Zhu Ming's face froze when he heard this, and then he said with some shame: "It's not that I haven't thought about it that way. It's just that I'm not insatiable, but I want to change some entanglements to the border. Let's see if I can get a steward under the Taishou, compared to sitting at home, I still want to show what I have learned. The battlefield is where I belong. ”

Hearing this, Li Hongtian was stunned, he didn't expect this Zhu Ming to have such ambitions. After thinking about it, he spoke: "I still lack a foreign affairs housekeeper in my family. If you want, come and help me. As for the border pass, if you go there in vain, you will not be asked to be in charge of affairs by someone of unknown origin. Within three years, if I see that you are really talented, I will recommend you to go to the Northwest Border Pass to be a personal companion. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "I don't know what Gongzi is called, can you really arrange for me to go to the Northwest Border Pass?"

"It doesn't matter what I call it, what matters is how you choose, as for the rest, whether you believe it or not, it's all in your thoughts. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Ming's expression changed, and he suddenly looked stunned, and thanked him: "In this way, Zhu Ming has been bothering the son for three years." ”

Although Li Hongtian did not say his identity, his luxurious clothes were not worn by ordinary people. Even before his family was ruined, he would not let him wear it like this, which shows that Li Hongtian is not the son of an ordinary family. Look at the two women beside him, one is more beautiful than the other. Although the small one has not yet opened, it is not difficult for people to see the beauty when they grow up. Coupled with the two guards who traveled with him, Kong Wu was powerful, even the generals of their family couldn't catch up with them before, so how could it not prove that Li Hongtian was extraordinary?

As for Zhang Yunce, he was stunned, this is the prince? The legendary former prince who took off how many official hats and killed how many people? What kind of shit luck did this Zhu Ming take to gain the favor of the prince? Zhang Yunce, who was thinking like this, was suddenly patted by Xiang Wu beside him.

"Let's go, in fact, the prince is not as terrible as you think, you just don't know him yet, in fact, the prince is a very good person. ”

Zhang Yunce, who heard this, didn't dare to fully believe it, but he didn't refute it either. Anyway, you'll know after a long time.

With Zhu Ming, a local landlord, leading the way, everything appeared more intuitively in Li Hongtian's eyes. With Zhu Ming's explanation, he became familiar with Yangzhou. Of course, Zhu Ming still didn't know Li Hongtian's identity, only that he was from other places.

However, when he returned to Linjiang Palace with Li Hongtian in the afternoon, he was stunned. Who doesn't know about Jiangdu Palace? But since the unification of the Tang Dynasty, it has always belonged to the royal garden. Thinking of the emperor list posted all over the Tang Dynasty some time ago, everyone knew that there was a king of Yinan in Jiangnan Province. In this way, Li Hongtian's identity appeared in front of Zhu Ming's eyes.

Just when Zhu Ming was still a little incredulous, Li Hongtian said to the steward who came over: "Arrange a place for him to live outside the inner palace." From today onwards, he will be the steward of foreign affairs. As for the return of work, I will arrange it, and you can find him a few people who can use it. ”
