Chapter 53: Zhao Rui's Wooing
"Oh? Who else but Your Majesty will come to this official? ”
Lin Yanchen was a little dazed at this time.
He received His Majesty's order to settle the matter of tonight's meal, and it stands to reason that who else will visit the class besides His Majesty?
It's also unlikely that the two Shangshu will miss themselves for a while because they haven't been trading with them for a long time?
"Oh, Lord Lin, you better go out and have a look for yourself, we don't dare to say this." Xiao Dezi's face looked a little anxious.
Lin Yanchen frowned, "That's okay, this official wants to see if he is here to visit or to find fault!" ”
When he came to the door scolding, and when he saw the person standing calmly, his pupils instantly tightened, and the muscles of his body couldn't help but tense inch by inch.
"What is the matter with Zhao Gongsuo coming to find the next official?"
The person who came was Zhao Rui!
Although Lin Yanchen said that after becoming the emperor, he had a hostile relationship with Zhao Rui.
But after all, the other party is also the head of the eunuch, and when he sees the other party in this embarrassing identity, the etiquette on the surface must be in place.
Zhao Rui walked over with a smile and spoke.
"My father has some things and wants to talk to you, I don't know if you can give this face?"
After a moment of sharpness, Lin Yanchen immediately put on a courteous smile and bent his waist to sixty degrees.
"Hehehe, Zhao Gong, you are laughing, it is an honor for you to come to Xiaguan!"
Zhao Rui was a little surprised to see Lin Yanchen like this.
I thought that the great poem that could make "Chivalrous Travel" must have the style of a literati, but this time I need to be severely suppressed to surrender.
I didn't expect this Lin boy to be so ...... It is also rare to know the general.
"Well, at the first glance when I saw you, I felt that you had a temper with my father, and my father was older than you, so how about calling you Yanchen in the future, can you mind?"
Lin Yanchen's face was instantly filled with sincere joy when he heard that there was no trace of performance, and he was excited to make a big salute on the spot.
"Yan Chen is fortunate to be appreciated by Zhao Gong! Yan Chen knew that Zhao Gong had good intentions, so how could he mind?! ”
Zhao Rui touched his smooth and beardless chin and smiled.
"Hahahaha, there are a lot of people here, how about you and I go in and talk?"
"That's great! Zhao Gong, please! ”
"Please!"
The two of them were like best friends they hadn't seen for a long time before they entered the courtyard.
As soon as Lin Yanchen entered, he saw two masons rushing over with red eyes.
"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, you are finally here. We've been waiting for you so hard! ”
"You've done everything we have done! All the powders are sifted and mixed! What's next? ”
Zhao Rui's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Yan Chen, they are ......"
"Oh, this is my recent inspiration, so I asked the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to help me make some gadgets, not enough to worry about hahaha......"
Lin Yanchen was a little embarrassed, don't die before you can make a big deal!
If Zhao Rui finds out that he has made so many advanced inventions and creations, he will not be able to Barbie Q!
But the problem is that Zhao Rui is relying on him now, but the progress of the project cannot be delayed, Lin Yanchen finally had to grit his teeth and give instructions to the mason.
"You two then go and wash the powder quickly with water, then dry it over high heat, and then mix a small amount of clay and fine sand into it. After all this, you will wait for the new arrangement of the official. ”
After sending the two masons, Lin Yanchen explained the new tasks to the other craftsmen in turn.
This is enough for them to work for half an hour, and then his conversation with Zhao Rui will not be disturbed.
It's not that he really wants to talk to Zhao Rui, but he doesn't want the other party to find out the clues here, so he still has to draw his attention to himself.
"I don't know what happened to Zhao Gong here?"
After the two sat down, Lin Yanchen took the initiative to pour tea for each other.
Zhao Rui took a sip of the teacup and said in a meaningful tone.
"Yan Chen, my father knew your peerless poetry talent at the banquet last night, and the work on the top came almost casually, presumably the famous sentences of the ages will not be difficult for you. Alas...... The old man didn't think there was a genius in this world before, but he knew that he met you, hehehe......"
"Eh-Zhao Gong, what are you talking about, Yan Chen is just a clever hand, I can't afford your praise like this!"
Zhao Rui waved his hand casually.
"It's just you and me here, you don't have to be restrained with me, there is only one thing for my father to come to you this time."
"Zhao Gong, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Isn't it okay for you to compete for the position of the poet tonight?"
When Lin Yanchen heard this, he showed a very strange expression, and then suddenly turned into doubts and frowns.
He stood up and said sternly.
"Zhao Gong, Yan Chen treats you as a junior, you are the junior! The name of this poet is the goal of my generation of literati, especially those who love poetry, what are you doing with me! ”
Lin Yanchen directly showed the image of a scholar who is sincere to literature, has a moral bottom line, and values fame vividly, and at this time, he stands in the perspective of the victim and attacks Zhao Rui morally!
Ren is a generation of heroes Zhao Rui, and his face is a little unpleasant at this time, but it is not angry and unhappy.
He also felt a little sorry for Lin Yanchen in his heart, hurting the other party's dignity and bottom line as a literati.
So he took out a bag of sachets from his cuffs, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Lin Yanchen.
"This thing is a gift from An Guogong of Jinzhou, it is a mixture of extremely high-grade top elixir and spirit stone powder, and it has the effect of nourishing qi and nourishing blood all year round, and I think you have eight grades, if you are promoted to seven grades, you can untie this thing and soak it in water, so as to bathe, and the benefits to your practice are endless."
Lin Yanchen couldn't take his eyes off the moment he saw the sachet.
Damn, finally pulled out something good!
But he still had to pretend to be reserved.
"Zhao Gong, please take it back, I and other literati have a breeze on our sleeves, how can we change our ambitions because of this little sachet! This time Shikui is the only chance for Xia Guan to realize his sister's last wish, and I must not give up! ”
Lin Yanchen's latter sentence is completely made up, although he thinks that his sister has been buried with the first emperor, but he doesn't know what the other party's will is......
The reason why I say this is just to express one sentence: If you want Lao Tzu to change such a firm idea, you have to add money!
Zhao Rui smiled.
"How did you learn about Concubine Lin's last wish? Did you know she's not dead? ”
As soon as this remark came out.
Lin Yanchen was instantly petrified on the spot, and his toes of shame began the three-bedroom and one-hall project.
Damn it!
It's embarrassing!
"Ahem," Lin Yanchen coughed lightly twice, trying to change the topic.
"I wonder if Zhao Gong can tell my sister where she is now? Yan Chen really misses it tightly. ”
But he didn't know that he had fallen into the trap in Zhao Rui's words.
"If you want to know, you will promise this prince to give up the competition for the position of poet this time, and this prince will not only tell you where Lin Guifei is, but also promise you benefits, and will never let your talented pearl be dusted at that time, and even at that time, your reputation will be hundreds of times louder than this mere poet!"
