XXVIII. Have a mind
The pheasant sat in the car, flipping through the posts given by the five horses.
"Miss." She said happily, "You are going to take over the royal work again, now it's okay, this time you will give a reward, you can give Xu Cheng a copy." ”
Since the sign of Linglongfang was hung, the affairs of the capital were also informed to Xu Cheng, when he heard that the stargazing pavilion of the imperial city was repaired, and he was rewarded by the emperor, Xu Cheng was also overjoyed, and asked if he could send the imperial gift back, and he also put it in Xu Cheng, which was also regarded as the glory of the ancestors.
Qixing didn't care, and the pheasant was a little reluctant.
"The young lady is still keeping the original contract." She whispered, "Moreover, the Linglong Fang in the capital is not the Linglong Fang anymore." ”
At the beginning, in order to facilitate things, Wei Dongjia found the owner of Linglong Fang, and reached a cooperation under the pretext of wanting to open a store in Beijing, and merged into the capital Linglong Fang, although the name is still called Linglong Fang, in fact, the big owner has become Ruyi Fang.
However, Seven Stars still abides by the contract signed with the owner of Linglong Fang back then.
"They don't ask for much, it's reasonable, I should give it, I can give it." Qixing explained to the pheasant, and said with a smile, "I am happy, they are happy, everyone is happy, so the world is peaceful." ”
The pheasant was indeed happy, and the wind blew through the curtain and saw that it was passing by the Huixian Tower.
"Why don't you go and make Gao Gongzi happy again?" She asked with a smile.
Qixing also looked outside, it was noon at this time, although it was not as bright as the lights at night, it was also full of people coming and going, and it was very lively.
Zhike wore a green robe and personally greeted guests outside the door.
When Qixing looked over, Zhike looked keenly, and when he found out that it was Qixing, he smiled and looked away.
"Tell him when you're rewarded." Qixing said, smiling again, "I'd better come here less so as not to make them nervous." ”
Drop the curtains.
The carriage drove slowly.
Zhike smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the guy on the side, "Where did she go?" ”
Although I can't see what is going on in Linglong Fang, there are eyeliners all over Linglong Fang, and I have the movements of their head in hand.
The guy quickly replied: "I've gone to the Fifth Princess's Mansion, and the plum blossom skirt is ready." ”
Zhike smiled: "It's good to have craftsmanship." ”
What did the guy think: "The five horses booked a room today, let me prepare the chessboard, and said that I want to fight chess with others......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a carriage coming, and before it could stop, the acquaintance greeted him with a smile on his face.
This carriage didn't look special, and the man's thoughts flashed, and he saw the emblem on the carriage hanging a Li character, and he suddenly came back to his senses - Queen Li.
Everyone in the capital knows that the children of the descendants of the Li family travel very simply, but they will hang the emblem of the Li family.
It is said that this is also to avoid trouble, in case there is an arrogant family magnate who is not long-sighted, thinking that he can be bullied at will, and he collides, the Li family is not good-looking, and the other party is not good-looking.
Li is really a model of prudence and self-preservation.
"Master Lee." Zhike saluted Uncle Li Guo who got off the car in civilian clothes, "You're here." ”
Uncle Li Guo has been in the capital for so many years, and everyone in the restaurant and tea shop knows that he is cautious, but he is not an ascetic, and he still has to eat, drink and have fun.
"Lord Liu has booked a room." Uncle Li Guo said with a smile, "He can't come when he has something, but he can't afford to spend the money, so I brought other people to play." ”
Zhike smiled and personally led the way: "Then today is the highest specification." ”
Uncle Li Guo laughed with a few people behind him, "Of course, it must be of the highest standard." "The master of the horse is more and more valued by His Majesty." "I'll eat and drink well for him."
The group was soon led into the best private room, the wine and food banquet was laid out, the female players holding the harp sat behind the screen and began to play, the white jade chessboard was safe, and the men quietly retreated, closed the door, and isolated the place from people.
……
……
"The five horses didn't come."
The rich man listened to the reply of the acquaintance, stroked the teacup and said.
"I thought I could see it this time, it's rare that this horse master is so interested in our Momen."
Zhike said: "He even went to Jindi to see the remnants of the year. ”
The rich man smiled: "Yes, how many people avoid it, but he is not afraid at all." ”
Zhike said: "It is not difficult for the master to see him, since he knows us Momen so well, he must also know some marks, and he will ...... when the time comes."
Make the next mark for the five colts, he saw it, and might be interested in finding it.
The rich man shook his head: "It's a bit risky, let's wait and see." ”
The two were talking, and a guy came in from outside.
"Sir." He whispered, "Uncle Li, they are saying that the Five Concubines and Matthew Star Viewing Pavilion are borrowing the skills of Momen. ”
The rich man and the acquaintance glanced at each other.
"Let's go." The rich man got up, "Listen. ”
……
……
With a snowfall, the new year has arrived.
The court officials and the emperor celebrated the New Year, began to rest, until the Lantern Festival to watch the lanterns, and enjoy the rare leisure of the year.
After many days of sleeplessness, the lanterns needed for the Lantern Festival were handed over and passed the inspection, and on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the craftsmen finally unloaded their burdens and could go home to rest for the New Year.
"Ah Qi, the dragon lantern you made is placed in the most conspicuous place." Liu Tongshi smiled and said, "You remember to come and see when the time comes, as long as you stand on the royal street, you can see it." ”
Although they made the lanterns, the craftsmen were not qualified to enjoy the lanterns in front of the imperial city, and they had to look at them from afar, just like all the people.
"Thank you, Ah Qi." Another craftsman held up a small lantern and said, "I made this lantern for me, and I will bring it back to my grandchildren, so that they don't have to go outside to see the lantern." ”
Qixing smiled and said: "Watching the lanterns or going to the street, the more people there are, the more lights are better." ”
The craftsmen all laughed and greeted each other again, dragging their tiredness and joy away.
"The royal reward for the lanterns will probably not come down until February, and I will personally send it to you at that time." Liu Tongshi said to Qixing, and handed her another box, "This is the heart that our Xiu Neisi gave you first." ”
Qixing opened it to see that it was a box of money, and without excuse himself, Shi Li thanked him: "Master Liu, I will go to your house this year to pay New Year's greetings." ”
Liu Tongshi said repeatedly: "Let my disciples and grandchildren also see you." ”
Outside the royal street, the pheasant stood by the car and stomped his feet and waited, and when he saw Qixing coming, he hurriedly took the cloak and took it.
"Miss is too cold." She said, "Hurry up and wrap your cloak." ”
Qixing let her wrap herself, then held the pheasant's hand to warm her, and said, "Why don't you wait in the car?" Is it cold in the car too? ”
The pheasant smiled and shook his head: "It's not cold in the car, the charcoal basin, the hand and foot stoves are hot, I can't wait." ”
Brother Guo put down the stool, lifted the curtain of the car, and called Miss.
Qixing smiled at him, got into the carriage with the pheasant, and Brother Guo whipped the horse and walked on the lively street of the New Year's Festival.
"Miss is tired." The pheasant stuffed the hand stove into Qixing's hand, poured tea and handed it over, "I haven't rested for the New Year, it's really hard." ”
Qixing said: "Being a craftsman is like this, it's not hard to get used to. ”
The pheasant nodded: "Then you can go back and rest now." ”
Qixing took a sip of tea and said, "However, I still have to work hard for you." ”
The pheasant hurriedly asked, "Miss, please command." ”
Qixing smiled lightly: "You go and invite Lu Sangongzi." ”
Lu Sangongzi, the pheasant was stunned, I haven't seen him for a long time, why does the young lady think of him again?
