024 Duplicity
Bazaar.
Tang Ling inquired about the best Wenmo shop in the capital, in Dongshi, Mingwen Moxuan.
Qi Moyu told her that Chen Yi was not a person who held grudges, as long as he apologized and brought something he liked, then this matter could be solved.
And Chenyi's hobbies are also very extensive, riding horses and archery, practicing calligraphy and painting, all of which are loved.
For Tang Ling, she didn't know anything about riding and shooting, so she chose to send the four treasures of the study.
Besides, tomorrow the children's room will start recruiting students, and Wenmo is also a must for children.
If you go today, you can kill two birds with one stone!
Thinking about it, Tang Ling stepped into the door of Wen Moxuan.
As soon as you enter the door, the fragrance of ink and paper comes to your nose, there are brushes of different sizes hanging on the pen stand, the inkstone is neatly placed on the desk, and the elegant style of the book is spread in the room.
Seeing this, Tang Ling's eyebrows rose a little, and she was very satisfied, she thought that she had found the right place.
Wen Moxuan's boss, Boss Wen saw a guest coming in, and stepped forward to greet him: "What does the girl want to buy?" Quill? Ink? Or rice paper? ”
Tang Ling looked around, and his eyes fell on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone lying quietly in one place.
The luster of the inkstone looks at the inkstone, the stone is warm and moist but not dry, the texture is fine, and it is hard but not stubborn.
Tang Ling looked at the inkstone and said with some surprise: "Can I touch this inkstone?" ”
Boss Wen glanced at it, smiled dryly, and said a little apologetically: "Girl, I'm sorry." This set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone has been ordered and cannot be touched. ”
"Ahh
Seeing this, Boss Wen hurriedly said, "But we have other inkstones here, the girl can take a look." ”
"No, I think that's all there is to it." With that, Tang Ling walked towards the inkstone.
Take a closer look, the carving of this inkstone is also delicate, and it will be extraordinary.
Boss Wen also followed, seeing that Tang Ling liked this inkstone, and praised a few words: "The girl's vision is really good, this inkstone is the best inkstone master's work in the whole capital." ”
"This set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, I think it's all good, is there anything like this set?" Tang Ling carefully looked at it for a few minutes, and soon saw that this set was not ordinary, and it should be good to use this set to give it to Chenyi!
"It's the same..."Boss Wen looked embarrassed when he heard this, "The girl doesn't know, our Wen Moxuan's best set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is this set, and this set has been ordered in advance by a son, and he will come to pick it up today." ”
Tang Ling frowned, "Could it be that in the entire Wenmo Xuan, there is only one set of the best pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”
"The girl doesn't know, our Wenmoxuan is different from other Wenmo workshops, the best pen, ink, paper and inkstone need to be ordered in advance, and then the order will be given to the best master in the city to make it." Boss Wen smiled and explained softly.
"How far in advance do I have to book, can I book now?" Tang Ling asked.
"If the girl books now, she can get it in the middle of next month." Boss Wen replied unhurriedly.
Next month?
Tang Ling was shocked, where could she wait so long?
Boss Wen also saw Tang Ling's embarrassment, so he said softly: "Or, the girl can choose a set of others." The quality of our pen, ink, paper and inkstone is not bad. ”
"No, I'm going to give it away, and I can't choose the next class." Tang Ling shook his head directly and rejected the proposal.
When Boss Wen heard this, he didn't want to say anything more, so as not to offend people.
Tang Ling didn't want to embarrass Boss Wen, so after thinking about it, he said: "Then trouble the boss first, first show me the cheap pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here." ”
"Okay." Boss Wen nodded, then took out a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and handed it to Tang Ling to look at, "Girl, look at this set." ”
Tang Ling touched the rice paper, picked up the Mao written test again, looked at the word "Tang" on the paper, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good, just pack fifty sets according to the specifications of this set!" ”
"Fifty sets?" Boss Wen's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that as soon as he came today, it would be such a big deal.
"Well, fifty sets, send them to Tangfu." Tang Ling replied affirmatively.
She carefully calculated in her heart, the upper limit of tomorrow's enrollment is thirty-five, plus the ten children in the children's room, fifty sets are enough.
Boss Wen immediately smiled: "Okay, girl, I'll go and pack it for you now, a total of five taels of silver." ”
"Remember to send it to the Tang Mansion in the east of the city." Tang Ling nodded, paid, and reminded again.
Boss Wen also carefully wrote down the address.
After explaining everything, Tang Ling was ready to turn around and leave, wanting to go to other Wenmo workshops to see if there was a suitable pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
At this time, another person suddenly walked in at the door, and said loudly: "Boss Wen, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that my son-in-law ordered here last month are ready?" ”
Tang Ling heard the sound and saw that it was an acquaintance!
Mu Yang!
"Mr. Tang? Why are you here? Mu Yang looked at Tang Ling and was obviously stunned.
"Mu Gongzi, didn't you say that there was something at home today, so you asked for leave? How..."Tang Ling looked Mu Yang up and down.
Mu Yang scratched his head twice, "Yes, I asked for leave today just to come here to pick up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that my son-in-law ordered here last month." ”
"Huh?" Tang Ling was stunned, "This set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone was ordered by your son-in-law?" ”
She turned sideways and glanced at the one she had just noticed.
At this time, Boss Wen had already packed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and walked over and handed it to Mu Yang: "Master Mu, it's done." ”
Mu Yang took it, and then nodded to Boss Wen: "Thank you, boss." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome, as it should be." Boss Wen smiled happily.
Tang Ling stared at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in Mu Yang's hand, and looked up suspiciously: "Your son-in-law is... Dust one? ”
When did a housekeeper become a son?
"That's right." Mu Yang nodded, "I have been following Gongzi before, and then Gongzi went to the Hou Mansion to be a housekeeper, so I went with me." ”
"That's it..."Tang Ling nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help but reflect on himself, why was he so vigilant and suspicious?
"Mr. Tang, this is also here to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone?" Mu Yang asked with concern.
"Well, isn't the enrollment going to start tomorrow in the children's room? I'm here to buy something today. Tang Ling replied, but her eyes kept staring at the set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Mu Yang was holding in her hand.
When Mu Yang heard this, he nodded his head slowly, and he also found that Tang Ling's eyes had been on the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his hand, so he said, "Mr. Tang, this is also a fancy for this set?" ”
Tang Ling nodded bluntly: "Well, but in fact, I bought it and gave it to Chenyi." ”
"For my son-in-law?" Mu Yang's eyes widened a little.
"Yes, I seemed to upset him a few days ago, so I wanted to buy something he liked and go to the Hou Mansion to apologize." Tang Ling said distressedly.
I finally chose a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but it's a pity!
Mu Yang listened to Tang Ling's words, and then he reacted, Xiao Yichen's mood didn't seem to be very good these days, it turned out that he was angry with Tang Ling?
Tang Ling saw that Mu Yang was here, and remembered that Mu Yang should be quite familiar with Chen!
Why don't you ask Mu Yang and ask him to help choose some tools for riding and archery?
After all, Chen Yidu already has a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and if she sends another set, won't it be redundant?
"By the way, Mu Gongzi, are you familiar with riding and archery tools?" Tang Ling thought, since Mu Yang teaches martial arts, he must be very familiar with these!
It's also better than her as a layman to choose.
"Familiar." Mu Yang raised his head and replied confidently.
"Then can you trouble Mu Gongzi to accompany me to pick one?"
"For my son-in-law?" Mu Yang asked.
"Hmm." Tang Ling nodded.
Mu Yang's eyes flashed, and he grinned: "No problem!" Let's go, let's go to the West Market together! ”
"Thank you, Master Mu." Tang Ling smiled slightly.
……
Mu Yang is worthy of being a person who practices martial arts, and he can see at a glance whether he is a good thing or not, whether he is asking for a price or not.
Therefore, the purchase of land in Tangling is very smooth.
Tang Ling pursed her lips and smiled, she looked at Mu Yang and remembered something, "Mu Gongzi, can I ask you one more thing?" ”
"Mr. Tang, you say." Mu Yang grinned.
"Tomorrow's enrollment in the children's room, can you ask Mr. Chen to come and take a look?" Tang Ling's eyes flashed with anticipation.
"Ah......" Mu Yang was a little embarrassed, he knew that Xiao Yichen had been busy with the arrangements for the liberal arts exam and the martial arts exam in the past few days, and he was afraid that he would not have time to come.
Tang Ling also felt that his request was a little difficult, so he took a step back and continued: "Or, you can bring a message to Mr. Chen, and ask him to wait for me in Fengya Xiaozhu in Nanshi in three days, I have something to tell him, and I still have something to give him." ”
"Well, okay." Mu Yang answered.
Tang Ling looked at the things in his hand again, and said softly like coaxing a child, "Also, Mu Gongzi don't tell Mr. Chen, you will accompany me to buy things today." ”
Mu Yang nodded happily: "No problem, I will definitely not say it!" ”
Tang Ling said goodbye to Mu Yang with confidence.
……
Back at the palace, it's past lunch.
Mu Yang walked into the imperial study with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and saw that Xiao Yichen was sitting upright watching the recital, so he didn't speak.
Xiao Yichen's eyes were staring at the fold, and Yu Guang found Mu Yang's figure, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
"When the minister went to get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he was delayed for a while." Mu Yang kept the agreement and did not mention Tang Ling.
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen raised his eyes lightly and looked at Mu Yang, his eyes fell on Mu Yang's dusty shoes and trouser legs, and his eyes were a little cold: "Do you know the crime of bullying the king?" ”
"I don't dare." Mu Yang buried his head, slightly nervous.
How did Your Majesty know that I lied?
"Don't dare, still lying?" Xiao Yichen put down the fold, his eyes stared at Mu Yang like a falcon, "Nanshi is a place of elegance, it is impossible for you to have so much dust on your shoes and trousers, where have you been?" ”
Yes?
Mu Yang was stunned, he lowered his eyes and looked at the hem of his trousers, and sure enough, it was full of dust.
In desperation, Mu Yang had no choice but to tell the truth: "The minister went to the West Market..."
"What are you going to do in the West Market?" Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes.
"Buy a saddle, and other tools for riding and shooting."
"What are you buying these for?" Xiao Yichen was puzzled, Mu Yang was a first-class guard, and these things didn't need to be bought.
"I didn't buy it, Mr. Tang bought it, I just went to accompany her..."Mu Yang said while confessing to Tang Ling in his heart, he really didn't mean to break his word!
"Tang Ling?" Xiao Yichen was even more confused, "What is she buying these things for?" "Could it be that she is going to teach the children to ride horses and shoot arrows?
"......" Mu Yang was embarrassed, not knowing how to explain.
"Say." Xiao Yichen accentuated his tone.
Mu Yang couldn't bear Xiao Yichen's momentum, so he had to tell Xiao Yichen everything he met Tang Ling today, and also told Xiao Yichen what Tang Ling wanted to bring.
Xiao Yichen listened, and his originally stern face softened a little.
Mu Yang saw that Xiao Yichen didn't speak, and secretly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yichen: "Your Majesty, will you go to the children's room tomorrow?" ”
"No, no." Xiao Yichen picked up the fold and covered his slightly smiling eyes.
He didn't expect Tang Ling to buy something to apologize to himself.
It's a lot of fun!
"After those three days..."Mu Yang asked quietly again.
"You don't have anything to do, do you?" Xiao Yichen threw Mu Yang with a cold look.
Mu Yang was shocked and hurriedly retreated.
Originally, Xiao Yichen didn't plan to go to the children's room to see the admissions, but after thinking about it, in order to avoid accidents, it was safer to go and have a look.
Sure enough, the enrollment of the children's room on the second day was full of problems!
