Chapter 33 Finding Trouble
"Old Fan, last night's poems were just a clever hand, and the matter of inscriptions for people should be forgotten, I bother you to tell everyone Hua, let her ask for another master."
The figure of the enthusiastic woman appeared in his mind, Situ Xi and the flower shaking shadow of Jinsefang were just one side, they were not acquaintances, and they were not short of money now, what kind of pen fee...... Let a sleeping dog lie.
"I know, the old man just brought a word for her, there were some things that she had inherited from her before, and they had caused trouble to the Nine Kings." got a negative answer, Fan Lao just nodded, he was only responsible for conveying the news for others, and it had nothing to do with him whether he could achieve it.
"By the way, Old Fan, I haven't asked you yet, do you also have some business in the Chu State?"
"Don't hide it from the nine kings, the old clumsy is actually rooted in the Li country, and there is also a chamber of commerce under his hands, and the main livelihood is basically in the Li country. Later, the trade between Li and Chu was liberalized, and Lao Chou also began to do the business of traveling merchants, and the Chamber of Commerce also had some transshipment and pawn shops in several border cities of Chu, but he never thought of settling down in Xuan'an......"
Fan Lao did not hide this bit of his details, and in the middle of speaking, he suddenly paused again, turned to look at Situ Xi and asked:
"Nine Kings, but there is something that needs to be clumsy, please don't be polite, but it doesn't hurt."
Chamber of commerce? This Mr. Fan is really extraordinary, Situ Xi heard his words, he had a bottom in his heart, no longer hesitated, and directly explained his intentions to him: "Old Fan, in fact, I also plan to do a business......
……
"Yilin, just a proton, don't worry about it."
In a courtyard, several young men were gathering to drink tea and listen to music, a group of dancers were dancing in the courtyard, and two maids stood behind the young man's chair in the main seat and pinched their shoulders.
The young man was dressed in a pure white robe, if this dress was worn on a scholar, he might look elegant and easy-going, and his appearance was dignified, but the appearance of the young man on the main seat could not be called handsome, he was short in stature, and there was a conspicuous scar next to his right eye, and his appearance was slightly hideous.
At this moment, he was speaking to a young man who looked like a scholar on the right, and his voice was incomparable.
"Brother Fang, this matter is really a bit strange, I heard my father mention that proton, he seems to have some difficulty even talking to people, how can he make poetry and articles, I suspect that some of them are doing it, his poems should have been prepared by some elders in advance."
The scholar on the right is Xu Yilin, he lost to Situ Xi yesterday in the preface to the Qingfeng collection, although he has never met Situ Xi, but in any case he does not believe that there are articles among his peers that can write better than himself.
Looking at Xu Yilin, who was a little impatient, a trace of disdain flashed in Fang Di's eyes, but he said with a smile:
"This matter is over, but this proton who came from afar doesn't seem to have figured out the situation yet, in the Chu State, there is no young generation who dares to brush the face of our embankment."
Standing up from his chair, Fang Di took two steps to a young man whose face was a little too pale, and then instructed him: "Yubi, you go and find something to do for that Situ Xi." ”
"Ordered. Brother, do you remember the last time I told you about the surprise I had in store for you? Hearing this, the white-faced boy first gave up his hand to take over the task, and then sketched a smile on his mouth.
"It's been like this, but it's been so long, and I haven't seen you mention it, what is it?"
"Brother, I met with the Mi family of the Huaiming Mansion a few days ago, and she knows her brother's preferences, and seems to be intent on promoting the reconciliation between Zhong Li and the proton in her mansion. The younger brother thought that it would not hurt us anyway, so he asked her to try. ”
……
Meihe Palace.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen asks to see you." The eunuch Huai Ze crossed his hands in his sleeve robe, and walked cautiously towards the palace, looking at the Chu Emperor who was burying his head on the desk and reviewing the folds.
"Nope." Emperor Chu didn't raise his head, and the phrase "not seen" was extremely familiar, and then he raised his head to look at Huai Ze and said, "You don't have to tell him, just let him kneel there." ”
"The minion knows." Wize nodded in obedience, then took two steps back and stood aside.
"How are the preparations for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? This time it happened to be held together with the Flower Dynasty Festival, and when the time came, a banquet would be held for hundreds of officials and a spring hunt would be organized together. ”
"Back to the Holy Shrine, they are already in urgent preparation, and there is still plenty of time."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Emperor Chu nodded, it was good that nothing went wrong with this matter, and then he seemed to think of something again, and instructed Huai Ze:
"The prism offered by the Huaiming Mansion can be imitated?"
"Holy Lord, the skilled craftsmen in the palace have already made a lot of prisms in the past two days, if they are only used to show people at the Flower Dynasty Festival, these amounts are completely sufficient."
After answering Emperor Chu's question, Hua Ze rolled his eyes again, and couldn't help but speak: "Shengshang, it is said that this three-pronged prism is from the hand of Fuyu Gongzi......"
"Yes, I owe him some reward. This morning, I heard that he made some excellent poems at the poetry meeting yesterday, and he made some limelight in Xuan'an...... Remembering that when he first met me, such a cowardly and frightened appearance did not seem to be fake, maybe his emotions calmed down, or he understood something......
Throwing the pen in his hand aside, Emperor Chu folded and sorted out the manuscript on the table, recalling the scene of the first meeting with Situ Xi last winter, as if it was just a few days ago, time passed like a white horse, and months had passed in an instant.
"Holy Lord, if he really pretends to be, it is a crime of deception, does the old slave need to do something?"
"He is also a guest of the State of Chu...... It's just a bit of literary brilliance, some tricks and tricks, and it can't make any waves. He is a proton, and the better he is, the more powerful he is...... By the way, invite him to participate in this spring hunt with Huai Minggong, it will be regarded as a reward for him. ”
