Chapter 50 recommends "Bai Chuan" Chu Qing is suspicious

Taile Department, Le Fang.

Li Qing and Wang Jie were directing a group of musicians to compose new songs, Jia Sheng walked in with a black face, walked straight to Li Qing, and said loudly: "Li Qing, from tomorrow onwards, you won't be working in the music workshop!" ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and asked why?

"You've been fired!" Jia Sheng said coldly.

"This," Li Qing snorted for a moment, "There should always be a reason for dismissal." ”

"You really don't know?" Jia Shengyin smiled, "In the past two years, you have been disrespectful and mediocre as a musician...... The last time I celebrated General Ge's triumph, you actually picked a pick, and Lord Yang was very dissatisfied with this. ”

"My lord, I really couldn't move when I was seriously ill that day, and I asked you for leave beforehand......

"Let's go, stop quibbling!" Jia Sheng's face was like frost, "There are too many people you have offended. ”

Wang Jie took a step forward and said to Jia Sheng: "Li Lecheng has always been diligent in his work, although it is a little small, but he is also dutiful. I hope that the adults will be gracious and go around him. ”

"Wang Lecheng, this is also what you should do?" Jia Sheng made a face.

"Then, is there a document of appointment and dismissal?"

"Dare to be honest with me;" Jia Sheng glanced at Wang Jie, "In the Taile Department, Lao Tzu alone has the final say!" ”

"Brother Wang, don't reason with him, Li is responsible for doing things alone." Li Qing pulled Wang Jie, turned around and said loudly, "Adults don't have to bother talking, Li is leaving." ”

Li Qing said that he straightened his clothes and walked away.

Wang Jie was stunned for a while, chased after him outside the door of the music fang, and couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at Li Qingyuan's back from afar. While contemplating, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and Wang Jie looked back, but it was Princess Pingyu. It turned out that tomorrow would be the Qixi Festival, and Ping Yu asked him to accompany him to see the saint.

Wang Jie was cautious and asked, "But for music?" ”

"No, it's between the two of us." Ping Yu said meaningfully, and then smiled, "Brother Huang has been concerned about my marriage for many years, and he is relieved to see you." ”

Wang Jie's heart was shocked when he heard this, and the folding fan in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Why are you upset?" Ping Yu noticed it.

"Your Highness, this matter is too sudden......"

"Sooner or later, I'll have to tell him what I'm afraid of." Ping Yu paused, "He will be relieved to see you." ”

"Okay." Wang Jie had a plan and pretended to agree, "However, the marriage matter is very serious, and I still need to go home and report to my parents to show my filial piety." ”

Ping Yu said "um", stroked him lightly for a while, and said softly: "Remember, you can't break your word!" ”

Wang Jie had no intention of continuing to rehearse the show, so he found an excuse to leave the Taile Department, and returned home in a panic all the way.

He was thinking about meeting Lou Yue on the night of Qixi Festival, and remembered Ping Yu's explanation, and he didn't know what to do for a while. He opened a jar of wine, poured himself a drink, borrowed it to drown his sorrows, and in a short time he was very drunk, and fell on the table.

In Shaoyang Palace, the crown prince and Fu Guo discussed the Qixi night banquet held in the palace tomorrow, and the eldest son Li Yu listened to it on the side.

Fu Guo said that he was ready, and persuaded the prince to go with confidence.

The prince told Li Yu to go to the banquet with him at that time, but was persuaded by Fu Guo to stop; said that he thought twice, it would be more appropriate to take his young son Li Amaranth.

The prince was stunned for a moment and said, "Little fruit, isn't this against the will of my father?" ”

Fu Guo smiled dryly, approached him, and said, "The slave is also thinking about His Highness......" Then, Fu Guo explained what he had in mind to the prince; The prince hesitated a little when he heard this, and only reluctantly agreed under Fu Guo's repeated pleas.

The night was dark, and the west wing of the concert hall was brightly lit.

Du Shaoling, Xiao Tong and several other guys from the Bodhi Printing Workshop held carving knives in their hands and laboriously carved words on the template. Li Yunhan stood aside and carefully looked at the template that had been carved,

Make some suggestions from time to time.

"It's the middle of the night, and it's not finished yet." Miaojin carried a kettle into the room, her eyes full of anxiety.

"It's useless to urge," Du Shaoling drooped his face, "It seems that I have to stay up again tonight." ”

"Girl, don't worry," Li Yunhan took the kettle and gently put it on the table, his tone calm, "Everything is difficult at the beginning; As long as you survive this hurdle, the rest will be easy. ”

"Alas, with this thing, there will be no need for Brother Li in the future," Du Shaoling glanced at Yun Han, "You, just wait to be unemployed." ”

"Unemployed," Miaojin smiled lightly at Shaoling, "Don't talk nonsense, I will persuade my father to keep him when the time comes." ”

In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of morning glow were revealed in the east, Shao Ling, Xiao Tong and others finally finished carving ten layouts.

Li Yunhan carefully checked the sample of the newspaper again, and confirmed that there was no mistake in a word, and then ordered to make a clear proof.

After a while, Xiao Tong came up with a clear proof; Because the ink is too light, the handwriting is a little blurry.

Li Yunhan said don't worry, let him try to print another one.

Everyone was busy for a while, and finally printed the first clear newspaper.

Li Yunhan finally felt at ease in his heart. He felt very tired after a long night's work, so he said a few words and turned back to the dormitory to rest.

Miaojin got up early in the morning, couldn't wait to go to the west wing, saw the newly printed newspaper, couldn't help but be excited, picked up a copy and went to the study.

Luo Feng picked up the newly printed newspaper and compared it with the sample one by one, and then showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Well, although the words are a little bigger, and the number of pages is a few more, it is neat and correct, and it looks refreshing and pleasing to the eye." ”

"Dad, you should rest assured this time."

"Well, not bad; Mr. Bai is still active in his brain and does things well, and he has helped me solve the big problem for many years! Luo Feng sighed in admiration.

Last night, Chu Qing was worried about the gold dust escort, and he didn't sleep all night, so he got up early the next morning and rode a fast horse straight into the concert hall.

He led two entourages into the courtyard, and when he saw that the lights were still on in the west wing and the noise of people, he couldn't help but be puzzled, so he went into the house to take a look.

At this moment, Shaoling was printing the Di newspaper with Xiao Tong and others. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, Shaoling glanced up and caught a glimpse of Chu Qing, and in a panic, he smeared the ink on his face, and leaned down to play with the mold.

Chu Qing strode into the house, kicked Shaoling, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Du Shaoling pretended not to hear, but still lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Xiao Tong on the side hurriedly straightened up when he heard this, saying that he was rushing to print the Di newspaper.

"Rush to print the newspaper ......" Chu Qing was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's the first time I've tried to print it in the theater."

"Well, that's good." Chu Qing didn't seem to understand when he heard this, glanced inside the house, turned around and went out.

Chu Qing entered the study and said loudly to Luo Feng, who was reading the newspaper: "Lord Luo, I won't rest after the Chinese Valentine's Day." ”

Seeing this, Luo Feng hurriedly got up to greet him, and explained: "It's a new report from the mansion, and Luo is reviewing it." ”

Chu Qing picked up a newspaper, flipped through it, and said, "Why did it change to printing?" ”

Luo Feng sighed lightly and said: "Over the years, every time I have copied the Di newspaper, it has been as little as one hundred and eighty copies, and as many as two or three hundred, and I can't make a single mistake, and I'm too tired." Now, with the help of the printing workshop, you only need to engrave the layout in advance and adjust the weight of the ink, and it can be completed within two days. ”

Luo Feng said and handed over the newspaper copied by Li Yunhan: "Childe, please see, except that the printed words are a little larger, the effect is no different from this hand-copied one." ”

Chu Qing felt that the handwriting of the newspaper was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. He looked at the back and saw the words "Shirakawa clumsy pen" written on it, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Shirakawa...... Who is he? ”

"Mr. Bai, it's a newcomer who has just entered the mansion, and he specializes in transcribing." Luo Feng replied cautiously, "It was he who came up with the method of printing." ”

"Newcomer," Chu Qing paused, "What about this Bai Chuan, I would like to see him." ”

"This, I'm afraid it won't work......" Luo Feng was a little embarrassed.

"Oh?" Chu Qing's eyes widened.

Luo Feng hurriedly explained: "In order to make this batch of newspapers, Mr. Bai is typesetting and carving, he was tired all night last night, and he is sleeping incense at this time." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for him to wake up." Chu Qing took a leisurely sip of tea and said.

Seeing that Chu Qing had arrived, Du Shaoling hurriedly went to the bedroom to inform Li Yunhan.

Li Yunhan listened to the buzzing in his brain, and he had no intention of sleeping anymore. He frowned and thought for a while, then said to himself, "What are you afraid of, you will come sooner or later......"

Shao Ling yawned, saying that he was busy with the work at hand and wanted to go back to the Pomegranate Inn to rest. Before Li Yunhan could react, he left the house.

Chu Qing talked with Luo Feng for a while, saying that Xiao Guan's batch of placer gold would arrive tonight, and he would personally go to Yuyang.

Luo Feng looked embarrassed when he heard this, and said: "Son, Luo has been entangled in official business recently, and it is really difficult to make the trip. ”

"This batch of goods has been recovered, but nothing can go wrong!" Chu Qing had a gloomy face, "I can only rest assured if Lord Luo personally escorts him." ”

Luo Feng said in panic: "The son doesn't know anything; The day after tomorrow, the Holy Lord will have a banquet for the envoys of various countries in the Hanyuan Palace; On the ninth day of the first month, King Huang wanted to celebrate his mother's birthday, and he had already issued an invitation; On the tenth day of the first month, Yang Silang had to routinely inspect the Jinju Academies in Beijing, and Luo Mou needed to accompany him carefully; On the twelfth day of the first month, King Ning wants to marry his second son......"

"Say no more!" Before Luo Feng finished speaking, Chu Qing threw the teacup on the ground and interrupted him angrily, "This batch of goods Yuyang has been urged several times, no matter what, we have to leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Luo Feng was frightened into a cold sweat, eased his nerves, and said, "Isn't there still a Yuan Gang Master, can he go......

"Yuan Chong, he is also lacking in skills."

"What, he can't go to ...... either"

Chu Qing looked around and said softly: "Tonight he is going to Weizhou to inspect the goods, and he has to go to Nine Lotus Peak by the way, of course, he has no time to take care of it." ”

"Oh, I see." Luo Feng sighed lightly, "Wouldn't it be good if the son personally escorted him and visited the handsome by the way." ”

"How could I not want him?" Chu Qing smiled bitterly, "But once I return to Yuyang, I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave Luo again." ”

"Why is that?"

"Once I go back to Yuyang, my father will definitely leave me." Chu Qing took a sip of tea, "At present, the soldiers and horses in the three towns are strong, and they are in urgent need of silver and horses, and I am stranded in Beijing for this reason." Now I haven't built an inch and returned north in a hurry, I'm afraid that the generals under my father will understand the jokes. ”

"If so, send Luc there; This person has been escorted with me many times, and he is familiar with the checkpoints and affairs along the way......"

"He, an old man with a white beard, is it okay?" Chu Qing smiled contemptuously.

"Childe is exaggerating. This person was originally a staff member under Chu Shuai's account, and he has been stationed in Beijing with me for many years. ”

"This ...... If there is no one to use, he can go. Chu Qing pondered for a moment, "However, in order to prevent accidents on the road, you still need a person with strong martial arts to protect the treasure......"

"Don't worry, Son, Luo is willing to recommend one."

"Who?"

"Shirakawa; Ask him to assist with the escort. ”

"Bai Chuan," Chu Qing frowned, "but the newcomer you just talked about?" ”

"Yes; This person is not only flexible, but also strong in martial arts, and has been taught in the future. With him, this old and strong, one literary and one martial, can ensure that the goods are foolproof. ”

"To be so appreciated by Lord Luo, I want to meet this Mr. Bai even more."

At this time, he suddenly heard some noise outside the window, and Chu Qing suddenly became alert: "Someone is eavesdropping......

Chu Qing hurriedly got up and gently pushed the door to see, but it was Miaojin. It turned out that she heard that Chu Qing had arrived, so she went to inspect it.

Miaojin entered the house and said angrily at Chu Qing: "Childe, you are too much of a bully!" ”

Luo Feng was puzzled, and hurriedly asked her what was the matter?

"Dad, you judge Li'er, he kicked and injured Xiaolin, and people cried and wanted to leave, who would dare to enter the house to do things in the future!" Miao Jin complained.

"There are many printing workshops in Beijing; He's leaving, just go. Luo Feng was quite unimpressed.

Miaojin said, no!

Chu Qing smiled and asked, "Miss Luo, what do you want?" ”

"I want you to make amends to him in person!"

"Nonsense." Luo Feng's face sank when he heard this, "It's just a guy from a small shop, how can you let Gongzi make amends." ”

Seeing Miaojin's displeasure, Chu Qingwan smiled and said, "Since Miss Luo is unhappy, I will agree." ”

"Hmph, hypocrisy!" Miao Jin said and walked out of the study.

At this time, Ni Sui hurried over and whispered a few words in Chu Qing's ear.

After hearing this, Chu Qing immediately retired to Luo Feng, saying that he needed to go back to the manor in an emergency.

"Then, Childe won't wait for Mr. Bai?"

"Nope." Chu Qing thought for a while, "If there is nothing else, just do what Lord Luo said, and the cargo team will set off early the next morning." ”

Chu Qing said goodbye and left the concert house.

Li Yunhan was worried about Chu Qing's arrival, pacing back and forth in the house from time to time, thinking about how to deal with it, only to see Miao Jin quickly enter the house. When he heard that Chu Qing had left the Jinjuyuan, the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.

Miaojin also said that Qing Gongzi came here because he had a batch of goods on hand that urgently needed to be transported to Yuyang, and he wanted to find his father to escort them.

Li Yunhan asked, what goods?

"I don't hear me," Miaojin shook his head and paused, "but judging from the look on his face, it feels very important. ”

Li Yunhan frowned and thought for a moment, saying that it was Qixi Festival, and he wanted to go back to Zhiyuan to have a look.

Miaojin smiled and nodded.

Li Yunhan returned to Zhiyuan, and Wu Qi had been waiting for him for a long time. Wu Qi reported Lou Yue's situation to him, saying that she quietly left Liuhua Town early this morning, and went straight to the Hedong Gang Wharf after entering Beijing.

Li Yunhan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and exclaimed, "Could it be that she wants to seek revenge on Yuan Chong?" ”

"No, it won't. She wandered around the docks a lot, and then went to the Hemming Building. ”

"Haiminglou," Li Yunhan was a little puzzled, "what is she going to do there?" ”

Wu Qi shook his head and said that he didn't know.

The reason why Chu Qing was in a hurry to return to Fulong Villa turned out to be that Jia Sheng had an urgent matter to see him.

Jia Sheng waited in the living room for a long time, but he still didn't see Chu Qing's figure, and he couldn't help but be a little restless.

Mei Dai saw it, chatting with him softly, and teasing a few words from time to time, Jia Sheng felt a little more at ease.

Chu Qing entered the hall and apologized to Jia Sheng with a smile, saying that he had waited for a long time.

"With a beautiful woman as a companion, it's worth waiting for half a day." Jia Shengqian's face sank, "What about something, Jia doesn't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Brother Jia is not an outsider, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Jia Sheng said in a low voice: "Childe, Yang Silang is going to make a move on Chu Mohan." ”

"Why did Brother Jia say this?" Chu Qing was shocked and asked.

"It is rumored that Yang Silang wants to send the northern envoy Yuyang, and the doorway in this must be understood by the son."

"Oh, that's what happened;" Chu Qinggan smiled, "The imperial court sends people to the north every year, what's so strange about this." ”

"In the past, the northern envoys were all decided by Lin Xiang; But this time, it was Yang Silang who personally selected the envoy. Jia Sheng coughed dryly, "To put it bluntly, he is clearly consoling the labor army, but secretly he is not looking for General Chu!" ”

Chu Qing smiled when he heard this: "Qing is a businessman, what does this matter have to do with me!" ”

Jia Sheng sneered: "Don't be confused with understanding! Childe has close contacts with the Academy, and the relationship between Childe and Chu Shuai has to be broken by me? ”

"This ......" Chu Qing pretended to be relaxed, "Qing has been in business for many years, and he only knows how to manage this?" ”

Jia Sheng's face was displeased when he heard this, and he said, "Since the son doesn't appreciate it, Jia will leave." ”

"Wait." After Chu Qing finished speaking, he took a gold jade bowl from the Bogu shelf and handed it over, "I don't know what the adults have to do?" ”

"Of course." Jia Sheng took the jade bowl and smiled, "Just replace the Northern Envoy, then you can get it!" ”

Chu Qing bowed his head slightly when he heard this.
