Chapter 73: The Poignant Beauty
Bao Qing came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and knocked the copper ring on the door, but after a while, a crack in the door was opened from the side door.
"Knock what? Also here to give gifts? The man asked.
Bao Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" We're here to give a gift! β
It turned out to be early winter, and after that the weather turned cold, some officials serving in other places returned to Beijing ahead of schedule to report on their work. No, many of the officials recommended by Lu Yijian have come to give gifts and repay their kindness.
Bao Qing entered through the side door, and sure enough, he saw seven or eight officials waiting for the Xiangye to meet him. Bao Qing thought of Fu Bi, when he gave the gift just now, Fu Bi happened to be at home, so he chatted casually, it turned out that Fu Bi also came back in advance, and this Fu Bi will be appointed as the weapons supervisor in the coming year.
Bao Qing waited for a while, and finally arrived at him, and he stepped directly into the gatehouse. I saw Lu Yijian bowing his head and tasting tea, and he didn't look at Bao Qing.
"Is it good to be an official outside? Can we love the people and benefit one party? I always tell you, it doesn't matter if you are greedy for money, but you must let the people live well, so that the society can be stable and the official family can be worry-free! Lu Yijian lowered his head and said.
Bao Qing didn't answer, leaned forward, poured out some tea leaves, and placed them directly in the tea that Lu Yijian was drinking.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yijian hurriedly pushed Bao Qing away, raised his head, and when he saw that it was Bao Qing, he was immediately shocked that the three souls ascended to heaven.
Bao Qing smiled and said, "Master Lu, don't panic!" Why, are you so afraid of packing someone? β
Lu Yijian was a little more settled, but no, he really thought that Bao Qing wanted his life, but then he thought about it, he didn't have any deep hatred with this Bao Qing, although he was quite jealous of him, but he didn't want his own life. Thinking of this, Lu Yijian twisted his body and sat up.
"Lieutenant Bao, no, it should be called Bao Tuiguan! How did you come up to come here? β
"Lu Xiangye, look at what you said, one is that I recommended it by you, and it can be regarded as your protΓ©gΓ©. Second, you are the prime minister of the court, how dare I, a little pusher, not come and stammer! That's why I'm here, no, I'll bring you the best general tea. Would you like to try it? Bao Qing smiled all over his face.
Lu Yijian was vigilant in his heart, but he was in a trance, if this Bao Qing sincerely came to take refuge in himself, it would really be a great help to consolidate his position in the DPRK, and he really looked away at the beginning.
Bao Qing opened the bottle, put it under Lu Yijian's nose, let him smell it, and then said: "Just look at the fragrance of this tea, what does Xiangye think?" Moreover, to drink this tea, you don't need to boil it, just pour the boiling water into the cup, and grab some of this general tea to ensure that the tea fragrance is overflowing, which is much better than your current tea! β
Lu Yijian smelled it just now, and sure enough, the fragrance of the tea invaded his heart, so he didn't know what it would taste like when he drank it.
Bao Qing saw that he was tempted, and hurriedly shouted outside the door: "A cup of boiled water, Xiangye wants it!" β
After a while, the maid put on a lamp of boiled water. Bao Qing grabbed some tea leaves and put them in, and closed the lid. After a while, Bao Qing put the cup and handed it to Lu Yijian.
I saw Lu Yijian gently open the lid of the cup, and a burst of lush tea fragrance rushed in, and Lu Yijian couldn't help but scream softly: "Yes, it should be good tea!" β
Immediately, he took a sip, and the strong aroma of tea and the strength of the stomach were indeed very refreshing.
"It's really good, the tea is as its name suggests, it's a good general tea!" Lu Yijian said without hesitation of praise.
Bao Qing respectfully handed over the porcelain vase, Lu Yijian felt comfortable when he saw it, and said unconsciously: "Bao Qing, some time ago, the old man was a little confused, he listened to others, misunderstood you, and did something that couldn't stand you, what about you, don't take it to heart!" If you have any grievances, the old man will compensate you! β
Bao Qing nodded and said with a smile: "Where is it!" If it weren't for Xiangye's support, where would I have the opportunity to come to the capital! β
"Good! Not bad! Not bad! Then come and sit more! Lu Yijian nodded with satisfaction.
Bao Qing said goodbye to Lu Yijian, and was just about to leave the door of Lu Mansion, but saw that the man nodded and said, "Master Bao, slow down!" Xiangye has a gift to give to the adult! Master Bao, so that you know that our Xiangye rarely gives gifts to the lower officials! β
Bao Qing hurriedly agreed, only to see a small sedan chair with a red curtain swaying over. Bao Qing was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" β
The man said with a silver smile: "The so-called beauty is matched with a talent, Lord Bao is not married yet, and the people in this sedan chair can be used as concubines." Do you know who is sitting in this palanquin? It is the top brand of our Bianjing City, the glacier fairy, and the pipa is played in one hand! β
"Huh? The house at home is not enough to live in, can you not want it? Discounts are also available! Bao Qing secretly complained to himself, if he carried it back, the tigers at home would not eat him?
"Master Bao, what do you mean? Don't be ignorant! Hum! The door slammed shut.
After Bao Qing went back, Dong Yanran and Bao Liuwen were preparing for the teahouse, and Zhanfang and Cao Yun were also there, and the two of them were helping out. At this time, several prospective ladies were very strange to see Bao Qing carrying a sedan chair covered with a big red curtain behind him.
However, Bao Liuwen reacted quickly, and hurriedly scolded: "Silver thief, are you looking for another woman to come back?" Without waiting for Bao Qing to explain, Bao Liuwen ran over, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw a woman about sixteen years old sitting on the sedan chair, with a sad face, empty eyes, and her hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, without saying a word or looking back.
Bao Liuwen thought it was a little vixen somewhere, but after seeing this woman's sad expression, she was suddenly jealous, and she actually felt pity for this woman in her heart. So he yelled at Bao Qing: "Are you learning from Cao Yun's brother and robbing people's daughters?" β
"Don't talk nonsense! I bought this woman from the street, this woman can play vocals, and when the teahouse opens, let her play in the center of the teahouse hall, just to add some festivity! Bao Qing didn't blush when he lied, and Zhu Daniu on the side was dumbfounded.
"But I think this woman is quite pitiful! You're not pushing anyone, are you? Otherwise, let's give her some money to go home! Bao Liuwen said.
"That's a good idea! The big cow went to the treasury to get a hundred pieces and gave it to this woman! Let her go home! Bao Qing said.
As soon as these words came out, all the women laughed loudly and said: "Our big brother Bao is the most kind-hearted!" β
Bao Qing took the money, lifted the curtain, and was about to stuff the money to the woman, but saw that there were already two lines of tears on the cheeks of the glacier fairy. It can really be said that it is miserable and miserable, as if there is a broken heart, and the two lines of tears are full of sad things.
Bao Qing looked a little stupid, in addition to the cold and beautiful face, there was also the lonely look of the beautiful woman that made Bao Qing feel distressed, and pity suddenly came to her heart, and at this moment she just wanted to hold this woman in her arms and comfort her in every way.
"Are you leaving? Or stay? Bao Qing didn't know what to say, obviously he wanted to send money to let the family go, but he said the words he left.
"The little woman is homeless, she is duckweed, living on the rocks, even though she has thousands of money, but she is still lonely!" The glacier fairy's words are poignant, and the voice of loneliness and bitterness permeates people's hearts.
"Then don't go! Stay! Bao Qing stretched out his hand and helped the glacier fairy down.
At this time, I heard Cao Yun crying out dissatisfiedly: "Give her the fifth room!" β
