Chapter 252: Not Exciting Enough (Two Watches in One)
Afternoon.
In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, it is still very busy.
Li Shao sat on the big chair, absent-minded.
Gonggong Shi walked in quickly, glanced at Xu Jian on the other side of the room, retracted his gaze, and leaned over to Li Shao's side.
"Your Highness," Gonggong Shi said in a suppressed voice, "It's all sent back, and the treasury has been counted there, and it's been done." ”
Li Shao snorted lightly.
Seeing that Gonggong Shi quietly glanced at Xu Jian again, he said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”
Gonggong Shi smiled wryly.
Today is the first day he has been working with His Highness.
They are all servants in the East Palace, and they are all serving His Royal Highness, but they are lagging behind compared to Gonggong Hu.
Gonggong Hu followed His Royal Highness at all times, and shouted at them behind his back.
It's good now.
The chief manager, Father-in-law Cao, spoke, and Father-in-law Hu was beaten by the board, and he couldn't get out of bed in pain.
The good thing of running for His Royal Highness just fell on his father-in-law.
He had to take his chances.
I had to serve His Highness well and gain His Highness's trust, even if Father-in-law Hu recovered from his injuries, he didn't want to take this job back.
"The little one ponders by himself......" Father-in-law Shi was afraid that Xu Jian would hear it, but he only said that he hadn't figured it out yet.
Seeing this, Li Shao didn't have much interest in listening, so he didn't ask much.
When he arrived at the lower office, Li Shao got up and moved his muscles.
Greeted Xu Jian lightly, and he strode outside.
I thought that Xu Jian was going to be in charge of the east and the west again, but when he walked outside the yamen, Li Shao didn't see Xu Jian when he turned around.
"It's weird." Li Shao muttered.
Gonggong Shi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "In front of the Duke of Fuguo, the little one didn't dare to say it." The little one just thought, what happened yesterday, could it be that Grandpa Guo poked it out? ”
Li Shao frowned: "He stabbed it?" Are you sure? ”
"The front foot is still at the thanksgiving banquet, and the county lord on the back foot has entered the palace, and it just happened to point to the wine," Shi Gonggong pursed his lips, "The little one thought that the matter was leaked, and the county lord came to find it."
I heard that after you left yesterday, the Holy Lord summoned the Fuguo Gong into the palace and said a lot behind closed doors.
If it weren't for the tribute wine, why would you be in such a hurry? Just call people in the back of the court today. ”
The more Li Shao listened, the more reasonable it became.
And he said, "Oh!
How can it be so unlucky.
It turned out that Xu Jian was behind him!
But so what?
The thunder was loud, the rain was small, and the matter was over after last night.
Who else knows but those who were there at the time?
This morning, no one mentioned it, because no one knew.
Xu Jian was scolded by his father at night, didn't he have to settle down?
From beginning to end, Xu Jian couldn't help him.
He doesn't hurt!
On the contrary, it was very enjoyable.
Xu Jian was deflated, he was very happy; The kind of stimulation that hides from his father, he is also very happy.
He also had to thank Xu Jian for letting him know that it was like to do these things under the nose of his father.
"I don't have time to bother with him!" Li Shao was triumphant, "Let's go, I still have important matters." ”
Li Shao's so-called important thing is, of course, to find Liu Xun to go to the pleasure together.
When I entered the house, the private room was already lined with all kinds of good dishes.
Gonggong Shi held a wine jar and put it on the table.
Liu Xun's eyes lit up: "Could it be that what is contained here is the Guyue tribute wine?" ”
Li Shao said: "That's right. ”
Gonggong Shi poured two lamps, first distributed them to Li Shao, and then handed them to Liu Xun.
Liu Xun held it in both hands, smelled the wine, looked at the wine, and his heart moved for a while, and he recited several poems about wine.
After reading it, he said: "I used to think that these poets were too exaggerated, and that good wine is wine, and no matter how good it is, it is just the same thing. But now that I know, it makes sense. The wine in my hand is fully worthy of those beautiful words. ”
Li Shao laughed.
Liu Xun took a sip of wine.
Of course, the taste is good, but if you want to say that it really makes people take a sip of wine, then it is not enough.
However, His Highness is waiting for him to brag!
Liu Xun saw that what he had just blown was very much in line with His Highness's wishes, and he would definitely continue to blow it now.
What lingers on the tongue and what has an endless aftertaste.
praised the wine, of course, I can't thank His Highness.
"If it weren't for His Highness's reward, where would I have the opportunity to taste such fine wine?"
"This sip of wine is really hot in my heart."
Li Shao raised his head, drank a full sip, rolled his Adam's apple, and the wine fell down his stomach.
"It's just a little tribute wine, and you're exaggerating," he motioned to Gonggong Shi to add more, "You follow me to do things, how can I make you not even drink these wines?" ”
"As far as Your Highness is concerned, you are the prince, this is a gesture, but for me, it is not a simple matter to be able to taste a sip of tribute wine."
Li Shao glanced at his "gesture", the small wine jar.
Most of the tribute wine that was moved out of the palace had already been sent back.
He himself left only a small part.
This little difference, it is impossible to calculate it with him in the warehouse, even if there is an ignorant question, that is, it is transported to and fro, and it is consumed.
After yesterday's inspiration in front of his father, Li Shao would not pay attention to these small differences at all.
Besides, the big heads are all given, and the father can still pursue these small ones?
Xu Jian, who has the ability, went to the warehouse by himself, filled with buckets and jars, and saw how many jars he could match.
is so nitpicky, and let's see if my father will scold him or Xu Jian at that time.
Thinking of Xu Jian, Li Shao couldn't help but look at Liu Xun a few more times.
Obviously they are two brothers, Liu Xun has heard too much than Xu Jianzhong.
As for what happened in the warehouse last night, Li Shao would not tell Liu Xun.
Let Liu Xun know that he was blocked by Xu Jianyin and Ning An, what a shame!
The dignified prince, there is no face to say it.
"Keep drinking if you like." Li Shao looked unconcerned.
Half a jar of wine is down.
Liu Xun was a little fluttering.
Outside, the music sounded, and the dancers were ready.
Li Shao and Liu Xun put on their masks and watched the young girls swaying their willow waists in.
This joke was not closed until the third watch.
Liu Xun was physically exhausted, but his spirit was still excited.
When I returned home, I entered the room with my front foot, and with my back foot, Liu Jing came to knock on the door.
"Haven't you slept yet?" Liu Xun is a spirit.
"You know, it's time to go to bed?" Liu Jing suppressed his voice, "I'm not at home in the middle of the night, and I still smell of fat powder!" ”
Liu Xun hurriedly explained: "I am just accompanying His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Liu Jing's eyes sank.
After listening to Liu Xun talk about these things with Li Shao, Liu Jing's face became more and more gloomy.
Liu Xun saw it in his eyes and was quite surprised.
Is my father an old-fashioned man?
The father wanted to hint that the people around the prince were going to kidnap people, would he care about the prince's spending all day drinking?
Liu Jing saw Liu Xun's thoughts and said, "These are two different things!" ”
Kidnapping people, how the prince tosses the people who are tied back, it's all a matter behind the scenes.
But this kind of flower is ......
Look at the hour, it won't be long before you are ready to go to court!
That is, His Royal Highness is young and vigorous, and if he is a middle-aged person, he is afraid that he will yawn in the Jinluan Palace.
The prince stayed outside the palace for one or two days in ten years, and if it really reached the ears of the saint, he was afraid that he would be in trouble.
Besides, how can there be a really safe place......
"Who gave you the doorway? Are you sure the other party is reliable? Whose house does it belong to? Who raised the dancers? Is the other party really unaware of His Highness's identity? Liu Jing took a breath and asked a series of questions.
Liu Xun was speechless when asked.
Seeing this, Liu Jing said angrily: "Beware that someone else specially arranged it!" ”
"W-no, won't?" Liu Xun couldn't believe it.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years," Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "That place, it would be better for you and Your Highness to go less." You're going to get married next month, and when the girl from Yunyang Bofu enters the door, you have to play like this until you return home after three watches, and you still have a fat powder smell? ”
Liu Xun hesitated and said, "Then how can I explain to His Highness?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Jing became angry in his heart.
Yueniang, what a pity!
However, it has come to this, and it is not interesting to keep thinking about the impossible.
Touching his beard, Liu Jing said: "You just said that there is something wrong with the recent rumors in the house, so take it slow for the time being." Since you can talk with your face in front of Your Highness, these things are still uneven? The most important thing in front of you is to get married, settle down to study, and walk step by step. ”
Of course, he hoped that Xun'er would go faster.
You can take shortcuts, but you also have to be quick with your legs and feet.
Xun'er is a few steps after returning to Beijing, and it was too unsmooth.
Especially when I learned to fall, I fell too hard.
Previously, after Xun'er's things reached Xu Yi's ears, he reorganized Xun'er's homework as he had agreed with his wife.
Liu Jing asked some clues.
Xun'er's homework does have a lot of shortcomings, but it is not enough to say that he doesn't know anything and has been reading in vain for so many years.
At first, Xun'er answered a little stumblingly, but the more he asked, the more fluent he became, and even a few very good ideas came up in the end.
This is Liu Jing's impression and Liu Xun's true level.
He was puzzled.
With this level, even if you are unprepared, you will not be unable to answer at all.
After asking a few more questions, Liu Jing finally understood.
Liu Xun is easily nervous when dealing with these questions, so that his mind is blank, and the more anxious he is, the more unable he can answer.
And when facing them as a couple, the tension slowly faded, especially after the beginning, and the follow-up naturally became smooth.
To put it bluntly, it's just too nervous.
But in Liu Jing's view, nervousness is never a good thing.
He has seen many candidates, full of wealth, as soon as they enter the examination room and lift the pen, they are sweating so much that they can't write a word.
But tension can also be overcome.
No matter how you say it, it's better than having no ink in your stomach.
"Your mother is going to handle your marriage," Liu Jing patted her son on the shoulder, "She has been restless lately, don't let her see anything." ”
Liu Xun responded.
Another half a month in a hurry.
The yamen of the Ministry of Rites is still so busy.
Xu Jian glanced at Li Shao.
It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in low spirits and even has a tendency to doze off.
According to the results reported by Xuansu, Liu Xun hasn't played with Li Shao until midnight for some time.
I am afraid that it is a relationship to get married, Liu Xun has been much more honest recently.
Li Shao seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this, but anyway, he was familiar with the way, even if Liu Xun was not there, he would go to the house from time to time.
But it's not very exciting.
Li Shao was indeed a little tired.
When having fun, there is one less person like Liu Xun who can brag about it, and it is indeed less fun.
And those dancers, regardless of whether they are Yangzhou thin horses or interracial dancers, always come and go.
The first few times were fresh, but later, not exciting enough!
But if he said that he would not go to the past again, Li Shao would not be able to think of any other fun for a while.
It's really boring!
It seems that we still have to wait for Liu Xun to have some time and let him think of new tricks.
In early April, when the spring flowers bloomed, Liu Xun and Zheng Liu got married.
The marriage was also lively.
Ordinary people love to make red things, gather around the greeting procession, waiting to receive the money.
Liu Xun rode a high-headed horse to greet his relatives, and the sound of blowing in his ears shook the sky, and there were firecrackers, which exploded so that he almost didn't sit down.
The steward was beside him, and he quickly helped him.
Liu Xun finally sat down, and he could hear a few laughs from the lively people.
Laughing fart!
He muttered to himself.
These people either laughed at his unsteady horseback riding, or laughed at the origin of his family business.
He can still ride a horse to welcome his relatives, and when Xu Jian gets married, he wants to see if he can still ride a horse with his injured leg.
Anyway, since Xu Jian was injured and returned to Beijing, I heard that he went out either in a sedan chair or a carriage, and he had never ridden a horse.
Bang Yue is also among the crowd of people who receive happy money.
It's not that these copper plates are rare, but ......
It's that their county lord said that matchmakers have to take matchmakers' red envelopes, otherwise they will ruin their own luck.
Bang Yue didn't believe it.
She always felt that the county lord was tricking her.
But the county lord swore that not only she would take it herself, but also Grandpa Guo, and this marriage could be done, and she and Grandpa Guo were big matchmakers......
Bang Yue can't question the county lord, honestly, and came to pick up the red envelope for the county lord.
Copper plates are also red envelopes.
Don't point to getting rich, just don't bad luck.
Knocking and beating, Liu Xun took Zheng Liu's sedan chair to his home, and after the etiquette was complete......
In the new house, the two of them stared at each other, and neither looked at them very well.
Liu Xun took a step back first.
This family affair was the best choice at that time, and since it was done, there will be many places where Zheng Liu and Yunyang Bofu can be used in the future.
"I know you're not very satisfied with me," he said, "and in Zhangping Garden, you never thought of taking care of such a family affair for yourself. ”
Zheng Liu snorted.
"But now that you're married, I'll tell you honestly," Liu Xun continued, "I know you hate those sisters in the Sincerity Mansion, especially the county lord, and you're at odds with her."
I don't like Xu Jian either, I don't have any brotherhood with him.
At this point, the two of us are fellow travelers. ”
Zheng Liu raised his eyes and looked Liu Xun up and down a few times: "What?" I'm a married girl who is not valued by my family, and you're a scholar with a bad reputation, can the two of us take care of the prince and the county lord? ”
Liu Xun frowned.
This scholar was obviously mocking him.
But he had to endure: "Who knows? Maybe there's a chance. ”
Zheng Liu sneered, and after a while, he said, "Okay, then try to cooperate." ”
Ten years later, as a collaborator, Zheng Liu took a sedan chair to Narcissus Hutong, knocked on the door of the house, and stood in front of Yue Niang.
Sorry, it's late today.
Thanks to the book friend Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend, who has never eaten fat in his life.
