Chapter 60: The Stones
In the studio, Wang Quanquan suddenly changed his tone and asked seriously: "Brother Lu Ming, do you want to make a name for yourself?" Let those who look down on you be ashamed, by the way, make a long face for the Liu family, be a stable and stable figure, let the world admire you and worship you, and let Old Man Liu be proud of you. ”
There was a hint of deception in the words of the king.
"Yes! I want to think about it so much! Liu Luming said excitedly, but then he wilted again: "But I have this little ability, don't say anything about stabilizing the country, if it weren't for my father, making ends meet would be a problem, I don't know what kind of trick Brother Wang has?" ”
Liu Luming unknowingly fell into the trap of royal power.
Wang Quanquan smiled and said: "The imperial court has just established an ordnance factory, I want to invite you to serve as the deputy director and consultant, it is too detailed for me to disclose, but Wang can guarantee that this matter is extremely interesting, but it is just ......" Speaking of this, he put on a suspicious look again.
"Brother Wang, if you have something to say, it's okay to talk about it." Liu Luming has obviously gone up.
"I'm afraid that Old Man Liu won't agree, you should know best about his temper."
"Hey, what should I do, I have a way on my father's side, you leave me a good place, I agreed to this."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
After Wang Quanquan left, Liu Luming was alone in the house thinking.
Wang Quanquan guessed well, with Liu Jianbai's temper, he would rather his son be a lazy loser at home than let him go to the Laoshizi Ordnance Factory to be embarrassed. How can you say that he is also a member of the first product of the dynasty, if his son goes to work as a craftsman, will he still have an old face if he spreads out?
Here Liu Luming's eyes were dripping in the house, and the voice of Steward Liu came from outside the house: "Master, why did you come back so early today?" ”
"Hmph, don't mention it, Lao Li doesn't follow the rules when he plays chess, he always regrets chess, and I came back directly in a fit of anger. Oh yes, where's the young master? ”
"The young master is in his house."
From the master to the servants, everyone knew that the young master had been in the studio longer than in the bedroom, and over time, everyone defaulted to the studio being Young Master Liu's room.
"Hey......" Liu Ge sighed, seeing that his sixtieth birthday will be in a few days, I am afraid that he has no more years to live, and when he dies in the future, what can he do with this son?
Thinking of this, Liu Ge Lao came to his son's door, pushed the door in and said, "Busy?" Let's stop, Daddy has something to say to you. ”
Liu Luming looked excited and said, "Dad, the child also has something to tell you!" ”
"Then let's talk about it first." Hearing this, Liu Ge Lao directly moved the stool, planning to wait for his son to finish speaking, and then he started a serious conversation.
"His Royal Highness Eighth has just set up an ordnance factory, and he wants to ask his son to come over as a consultant."
"Oh?" Liu Jianbai raised his eyebrows, he really wanted to do something, he was worried about what to do with his son, so he was curious: "What do you think?" ”
"The child thinks it's possible."
"Okay, make your own decisions."
"The child thinks that the ordnance factory is good for the country and the people...... Yes? Liu Luming realized that he had prepared a stomach full of words to convince his father, and was even ready to fight a protracted war, but he didn't think that the old man would agree directly?
Liu Luming was so confused that he couldn't answer for a while, and this feeling of having nowhere to do it was really uncomfortable, so he tentatively said: "Dad, don't you ask the reason?" ”
"Don't ask, it's time for you to go out and see more."
"Aren't you afraid that the child will be taken badly?"
"Don't be afraid."
"You're ......"
"Do you want to go?" Liu Jianbai became a little impatient.
"Yes!"
"Then don't talk so much nonsense, I'll leave first if it's okay."
After speaking, Liu Jianbai got up directly and went out, leaving Liu Luming stunned in place, wondering, "Didn't he come to me first?" ”
The reason why Liu Jianbai directly agreed to come down was mainly because Wang Quanquan was also involved. After living for most of his life, the old man is still quite confident in his vision, he has always felt that the king's authority is mud, and now his impression has completely changed.
If Wang Quanquan knew Liu Ge Lao's thoughts, he might break with this elder of the Three Dynasties on the spot, doesn't this mean that he is a straw bag and mud?
Seeing that the affairs of the ordnance factory were almost done, and it would take some time for the delivery of the salt and iron division, Wang Quanquan, who had come to Guanghan Building in his spare time, promised Lu Xiaoxian to write a play for him last time, but he didn't come for nearly ten days in a blink of an eye, and now it's time to fulfill his promise.
The guy recognized this generous guest at a glance from afar, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Prince Wang, I haven't been here for some days." ”
Wang Quanquan nodded: "Old rules." ”
"Okay, you go upstairs and wait."
Wang Quanquan raised his legs and was just about to step up the steps, when he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Why did Wang Gongzi come here today?" ”
Wang Quanquan turned around with a smile and arched his hand: "Boss Lu, I'm really sorry, I have some important things to deal with recently, so it's not easy to have a day of leisure today, so I hurried over to cheer, for fear of missing Boss Lu's performance." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but smile: "Okay, then Lu Mou will sell his strength today to make up for the fare that Wang Gongzi has lost these days." ”
"Haha, we'll see."
Wang Quanquan went upstairs and sat on the chaise longue on the balcony. Not long after, Lu Xiaoxian, who had already changed his costume, appeared on the stage and performed a rarely seen "Peony Pavilion". Because of the difficulty of singing, this repertoire is generally performed in time for major festivals, and today it is also enough to save face for the temporary increase in difficulty for the king's power.
Wang Quanquan couldn't help but smile, the other party really did what he said, since this is the case, it is not good for him to drag it anymore.
After singing a song, the audience burst into fierce applause, although they are all regular customers, but they may not be able to hear "The Peony Pavilion" once ten times, and today it can be regarded as a stain with the king's authority, and the applause is naturally much warmer than usual.
"What does Wang Gongzi think?"
"Wonderful! It's wonderful! ”
Not long after, Lu Xiaoxian, who had finished the performance, appeared in Wang Quanquan's room, and Wang Quanquan poured a cup of tea for the other party.
"Since Boss Lu is so refreshing, he doesn't hide it below, I wonder if Boss Lu has a pen and paper here?"
Lu Xiaoxian nodded with a smile, "Come on, pen and ink are waiting!" ”
Soon, the pen and ink were ready.
Wang Quanquan smiled and asked, "I'll repeat it, Boss Lu recorded, how about it?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't say much, spread out the rice paper, and quietly looked at Wang Quanquan after the brush dipped in ink.
Wang Quanquan really couldn't stand the other party looking at him with a face more delicate than a woman, so he got up and turned his back to the other party, and stood with his hands and looked out of the window, but he was quite chic and free.
"The name of this play is "Red Mansion", also known as "The Story of Stones", I am only responsible for telling Boss Lu the storyline, as for how to interpret it, it depends on Boss Lu."
Lu Xiaoxian behind him nodded slightly, and then wrote the word "Red Mansion" on the paper.
