Chapter 148: The Old Man Visits
When the news of Li Er's trip to Yangzhou came, Gu Ci came to the Zhou Wangfu in a hurry to ask to see Gao Buer, and after the guard general reported, Xiao Yumei met him.
Why did Gu Ci come to the Zhou Palace, because this is the rule of the imperial court, the Zhou Palace, which is the palace of the former emperor, in ancient times with strict classes, not everyone can enter, although you can order casually in Qingbei College, but when you come to the palace, you have to follow the rules.
"Gu Tingshi is in a hurry to find out what the prince is doing?"
"Back to the princess, Xia Guan just received an official letter from the imperial court, saying that His Majesty the Emperor will be in Yangzhou in three months, and Xia Guan is here to ask the prince to take over the driving matter."
Why did Li Er have to go to Yangzhou after three months, because in ancient times, the emperor's travel was a major event, and he had to announce to the world thirty miles away from the land of Gyeonggi. Therefore, as soon as the emperor's edict was issued, officials from all over the country wrote to ask the emperor to come to see him. You must know that in ancient times, if the magistrate wanted to see the emperor, it was more difficult than ascending to the sky, let alone the common people.
Li Er can't favor one over the other, they are all his own subjects, and they have to look at it all the way. Of course, the emperor's itinerary is top secret, and after the emperor of the book province formulates the itinerary and passes the review, you will naturally be notified if you should know. After such a delay, I could only arrive in Yangzhou after three months.
Xiao Yumei heard Gu Ci's words and said with a smile: "In the morning, the palace also received a report from the imperial court, and the prince said that there are still three months left, and there is enough time." He went to the academy early in the morning, you go there to find it. ”
Gu Ci came out of King Zhou's Mansion and went straight to the academy. Originally, he didn't have to go to the academy directly without having to go to the academy so much, but if he met Gao Fuji in the academy now, he had to rely on luck, because he was very busy and wouldn't stay in the academy all the time.
As soon as Gu Ci left, another exquisite carriage stopped in front of King Zhou's mansion, the outside of the carriage was decorated with pink silk, and the curtains of the carriage were made of white tulle.
A maid dressed in pink gauze helped a young woman dressed in snow white and wearing a white gauze round hat to walk down, Ying Yinglian stepped closer, saluted the guard, and said softly like goose yellow: "Please ask the general to report to Princess Su, and say that the old man of Jinling, Jun Niannu, asks to see." "No way, although Jun Niannu and Su Xiaoxiao are sisters, but in this palace that is as deep as the sea, you still have to wait.
"Why are the people who come today without an appointment." The guard said secretly in his heart, after all, the Zhou palace is different from the ordinary palace, for the imperial court in charge of the vast area south of the Yangtze River, the affairs are complicated, and there are many officials who ask to see the prince.
Of course, officials such as special reports and Qin Missions, Gao Buer still asked that there was no need to make an appointment, and they would report at any time, after all, the business came first.
Since the guards of the Zhou Palace's Mansion are all soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, the quality is still very high, although the guards muttered in their hearts, they still said politely: "Please wait a moment." ”
Gu Ci came to the academy, and sure enough, he didn't meet Gao Buer, and he couldn't ask the result by pulling the students who hurried by, so he came to Xu Jingzong's office, which had always been full of people, and stopped a teacher who wanted to approach the office and asked him to wait. Xu Jingzong saw Gu Ci at the door, so he invited him in: "Why do you have time to come to the academy today?" The academy has received a notice that His Majesty is coming to inspect, and is making all kinds of preparations, you see that I am in a mess, King Zhou has made a mess again, you are really here, come on, come on, help. ”
Gu Ci pushed away Xu Jingzong's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at my appearance as a dusty servant, do you look like you have nothing to do?" The officials of Hezhou are waiting for me in the yamen. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the crowd at the door and continued: "There are so many gentlemen and students in the academy to help you, don't be dissatisfied. ”
Xu Jingzong looked at Gu Ci's sweaty sideburns, looked at himself again, and felt that what he said was quite right, and asked with a smile: "Then you don't get busy, why are you running here?" ”
"Looking for the prince, he is the biggest here, and he has to listen to the prince's instructions to take over the driving. I went to the palace and didn't find it, and the princess said that she was in the academy and couldn't find it, so I came to you to ask. ”
"Oh, I accompanied Dr. Gongyi to the fields in the western suburbs, saying that the development of tractors has not been inspired, and I went to the field to investigate and see how to make the most reasonable way for the steam engine to plow the land with a plow." Xu Jingzong saw that Gu Ci really didn't have time to help, so he planned to send the guest to continue to work on his affairs.
Gu Ci didn't have time to delay, he got the letter, arched his hand at Xu Jingzong, who was already busy, and left quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao in the palace heard that Jun Niannu was coming, and while asking people to bring Jun Niannu in, he immediately walked out quickly.
The journal invented by Takabuti continues to be published to this day, with some imperial decrees, some new research progress and public discussion forums, and of course, it is the advertisers in the journal who support the continuous publication of the journal.
There are all kinds of advertisements, whose piglets are going to be sold, which cloth store has a batch of new goods, there are houses for rent in that place, etc., the most eye-catching of them is, of course, lace news. Therefore, with Jun Niannu Jinling's famous prostitute, of course, there is more attention, and there are good things that actually draw a picture of the physiognomy of the characters, and the description is accompanied by a hobby profile, so there are more people who know her.
Besides, Yangzhou is close to Jinling, so in Jun Niannu's waiting kung fu, many people have already recognized her identity through Jun Niannu's maid, and the news spread, and soon many people gathered a hundred steps away from the palace, all to see the beauty of the demeanor.
