Chapter 048: Foundation ...... old gentleman
The Lixian Hall was built, and there are dishes on all sides of Zhu Chong, don't ask, ask is the white steamed bun to eat.
Why did he agree to Jiang Qinglan to eat the meals she personally prepared for him for a month?
If it was really the white steamed buns prepared by Jiang Qinglan himself, he might not have been so painful to eat, but these steamed buns were all made in the back kitchen, and they had nothing to do with Jiang Qinglan.
As a result, every time he was about to put it in his mouth, Jiang Qinglan would appear and look at him with a sad face, "Sixteen doesn't like the meal I prepared?"
What could he do? He could only hand it to Jiang Qinglan, "It's for you." ”
Then he watched as things fell into Jiang Qinglan's mouth.
And Jiang Qinglan didn't feel sorry for Zhu Chongba at all, what's wrong with eating white steamed buns for a month? When he didn't have a lower realm, he couldn't even eat white steamed buns, and besides, steamed buns nourished people, fine grains!
Eating fine grains and eating noodles with vegetables, it must be Zhu Chongba's drifting.
So Jiang Qinglan gave Zhu Chongba another lesson in remembering the bittersweet and thinking about danger in peace, and Zhu Chongba, who listened to it, nodded again and again, and said it so reasonably, is Qinglan because of this that she arranged a month's white steamed buns for herself?
What a well-intentioned one!
Before he finished sighing, he was rushed by the well-intentioned Jiang Qinglan to recruit talents.
Zhu Chongba listened to Jiang Qinglan's advice, and also understood that this matter could not be delayed, he had read a lot of books now, and understood the usefulness of these people, if he didn't raise himself, he might run to others, and when the time came, wouldn't it be a big loss to deal with himself?
Therefore, as soon as the Lixian Hall was completed, it was posted to recruit talented people, and now the reputation of Tianfu is good, and the weather is good, as soon as the list is posted, there are many literati who come to the door, but most of the people who come to the door are some scholars who are literate and hyphenated, and some celebrities in the local area do not come to the door at all.
Zhu Chongba sent people to come to the door to invite him with generous gifts, but he couldn't invite all the good words, these celebrities didn't eat softly, and they couldn't use force, which made him very angry.
The Lixian Pavilion can't invite the so-called sages, it's like a joke to build there, Zhu Chongba is unwilling, coercion and temptation all kinds of means, but he also invited a few celebrities, but these people eat and drink him, he lives, he just doesn't do things for him.
The angry Zhu Chongba was not handsome, and his face was even more unsightly.
Miss Ma saw that he was not in the right mood, and asked softly about the situation, since Miss Ma helped Zhu Chongba last time, Zhu Chongba has been a lot more affectionate to her, and some difficulties and troubles that Jiang Qinglan can't say, occasionally tell her, Miss Ma listens seriously, and is very good at persuading people, which makes Zhu Chongba feel very relaxed.
He couldn't tell Jiang Qinglan about the matter of the Lixian Pavilion this time, for fear that Jiang Qinglan would misunderstand and blame her, but those celebrities were really angry, and he couldn't hold back his anger.
First, let's vent my emotions, and second, what if Miss Ma can give herself a trick like last time?
After listening to Miss Ma, she said, "I heard that the celebrities and gentlemen are all gathered together, and one or two people in them take the lead in speaking, and the rest of the people basically listen to this person. ”
Zhu Chongba sighed, he also understood the truth of capturing the thief and the king, but he couldn't figure out the one who took the lead in speaking.
In order to avoid him, the man now lives in the deep mountains and old forests.
"Sister Qinglan may be able to invite her. Miss Ma said, "My father used to have a friend, who was a general, and he also raised a lot of scholars in his house like Brother Sixteen, I heard him say that these people are very hypocritical, but in fact, they are very easy to handle, generally as long as they can talk about them, they will listen to you, and these people do things right for people, he looks down on you, he can do anything, he can't look down on you, it's useless to screw his head off." ”
"Sister Qinglan is the most reasonable, even someone as unreasonable as my father can make sense, I think she will definitely invite someone over. ”
What's more, someone like Sister Qinglan, anyone who sees it will like it in their hearts, right?
Zhu Chongba was silent for a long time, and he was a little moved by what he said......
But every time he went to invite Jiang Qinglan whenever he had something difficult, he had an unspeakable feeling in his heart, he trusted Jiang Qinglan, but he had a shameful grievance because of her omnipotence, which is why he could say his difficulties in front of Miss Ma, but he would not confide a word to Jiang Qinglan.
"Forget it......" Zhu Chongba hesitated.
"Brother Sixteen, Sister Qinglan spoils you so much, if you go to invite her, she will definitely agree. Miss Ma thought that Zhu Chongba was afraid of rejection, so she cheered him up.
"Do you think it's impossible to ask Sister Qinglan for help? I can help you say it. ”
“......”
Miss Ma's mind is not delicate, and she would not be so to the point under normal circumstances, but the person in front of her is her sweetheart, so she naturally took a lot of effort, and she said it in one sentence.
"No, I'll tell her myself. ”
Zhu Chongba hesitated again and again, and finally let go of the awkwardness in his heart and went to invite Jiang Qinglan.
It can be seen that when men engage in careers, they are rarely swayed by their own emotions and are extremely rational.
Although Jiang Qinglan has changed from the God of Wealth of the Heavens to the Demon of the Nether Realm, she still resists a little when she is asked to go into the mountains to find a man, after all, she can lie down and have a task now, why do she have to fight so hard?
But after Zhu Chongba said the name, Jiang Qinglan still gave in.
There is no way, that person is too heavy, Jiang Qinglan is afraid that he will not come, and he will not finish the cause and effect.
The person who hid in the mountains was Liu Ji.
Zhuge Liang in the world is divided into three parts, and Liu Ji who dominates the country and Liu Bowen!
Zhu Chongba's biggest thigh!
Go!
When entering the mountain, Jiang Qinglan left a large group of guards prepared by Zhu Chongba at the foot of the mountain, and was about to enter the mountain alone with a small bag of dry food.
What are you kidding, people hide from you and hide in the mountains, isn't it a bad thing for you to follow?
But Zhu Chongba did not agree to Jiang Qinglan entering the mountain alone no matter what, and in the end, the two of them each took a step back, and Jiang Qinglan went with a few guards.
The mountain is very big, but it is not difficult for people to find, they all have to eat grains and grains, and there is nothing wrong with going where there is cooking smoke, Jiang Qinglan and his party quickly found Liu Ji's residence in the mountains.
A fence yard, the roots of the fence are planted next to each other, a little maid is fanning the fire against the stove in the yard, it seems that someone in the house called her, the little maid put down the fan in her hand, and jumped towards the house.
Jiang Qinglan stood in front of the fence yard, straightened her clothes, cleared her throat, and smiled, her voice was soft and harmless, "Is there anyone?"
The little maid who had entered the house before quickly poked her head out of the house, and saw a beautiful sister looking at her with a smile, and couldn't help but reply, "Who are you looking for?"
"May I ask if this is Mr. Liu's house?" Jiang Qinglan asked politely, not because she came out with a little maid, so she had a contemptuous attitude.
"Yes, is there anything wrong?" asked the little maid.
"We have something we want to see. Jiang Qinglan said.
"Mr. Ji is painting, and he specially ordered people not to disturb him. "The little maid has big eyes and is innocent.
But Jiang Qinglan tried her best to stabilize her emotions and not let herself laugh out loud.
Base...... Old...... Sir, that's really a ...... Hahaha
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" The little maid was puzzled, Mr. painting does not disturb people, naturally she will not see this beautiful sister, her request to see was refused, why is she not disappointed at all, but laughs so happily?
Oops, I accidentally laughed out loud, Jiang Qinglan hurriedly suppressed her smile, "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Liu is good at learning and good at calligraphy and painting, but he is rarely exposed to people's money, I didn't expect to come this time, I actually met Mr. painting, so I thought that if Mr. can take a look, it will be really a blessing for three lives." ”
"Oh, sister, you speak the same way as Mr. Ji, it takes a lot of effort to understand what is being said. The little maid probably saw that Jiang Qinglan had no malicious intentions, so she walked out of the house and said in front of Jiang Qinglan, "Sister, let me tell you, someone came to see Mr. Ji before, saying that he wanted to invite him somewhere, but he was all driven away." ”
"Sister, if you are like them, don't say anything before looking at the painting, you will curse, but it will be fierce!" the little maid stuck out her tongue after speaking, she was frightened.
Jiang Qinglan smiled, that's unfortunate, she is the same as them.
"When Mr. finishes painting, can you please help me pass it on?" Jiang Qinglan said.
The little maid nodded to herself, and then went to the stove to fan the fire.
Jiang Qinglan looked at the fenced yard under control, smiled faintly, and stood straight in front of the door, without the slightest embarrassment of being turned away.
"Miss Jiang, this is obviously taking Qiao!" the guard couldn't look at it, and said angrily, "It's just that when he saw us coming, he called this little maid in and ordered him not to open the door, and lied that he was painting, I don't think it's painting, it's a demon!"
"Hugh is presumptuous. Jiang Qinglan glanced at the guard, with a hint of warning in her eyes, "I said before I went up the mountain that I didn't need to say much, forgot?"
The guards had no choice but to shut up and stand quietly.
The little maid in the yard fanned the fire in the stove, and the kettle on it was also boiling, and the little maid brought the kettle into the house, and came out again after a while, but at this time she didn't care about the stove, walked straight to the door of the fence yard, opened the door and raised her head to Jiang Qinglan and said, "Sister, Mr. Ji, please come in." ”
"Thank you, little sister, for passing through. Jiang Qinglan said, raised her legs and walked in.
The guards behind wanted to follow up, but they were stopped by the little maid, "Mr. Ji only invited this sister." ”
Then he closed the courtyard door mercilessly, and the guards wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Jiang Qinglan's look.
As soon as Jiang Qinglan entered the room, she saw a scribe in a Confucian shirt sitting at a desk, with a kettle and a pot of tea that had just been sent in by the little maid in front of him.
Seeing himself come in, he asked directly, "I heard that the girl wants to see the old man's paintings?"
Jiang Qinglan glanced at the kettle and tea in front of him, "To be honest, I don't want to." ”
