Cry for Song

Chapter 73 Scientific Examination Counselor

I don't know how long it took, the onlookers on the hall gradually dispersed. There was a busy order in the hall on the first floor of the office building. Lv Huiqing understood that when he came, he felt heavy on his chest. He looked down and saw a cloth bag with thirty taels of silver in it. He looked around. There was no shadow of Tong Guan and Lu Shenyan. I don't know where the skateboard on the soles of my feet is,

Lv Huiqing sighed and stood up with the pillar. He felt wet under his nose. It turned out that he bumped into the pillar and his nose hit with blood. "Wonderful, unruly." He secretly scolded in his heart that he knew that he was ridicated by the people next to the king, but he was dumb and ate Huang Lian. Fortunately, he still had silver in his arms. It didn't matter if he couldn't be the shogunate of the royal palace. Anyway, he didn't leave the master here freely.

"Ji Fu." Lv Huiqing turned around and heard someone calling him. He looked up and Ouyang corrected and stood not far away from him, tentatively shouting his name,

Lv Huiqing raised his arm and hurriedly covered his face with his wide sleeves. Without looking in the mirror, he could also think that even if he was not blue and swollen, he was embarrassed enough: "Ag in the mistake, admit the mistake." As he spoke, he covered his face and quickly walked out of the hall of Zhennan King's office building,

Ouyang Xiu looked at Lv Huiqing's panicked look and asked Li Shen beside him in surprise, "I seem to know this person. Isn't this Lv Huiqing?"

Li Shen shook his head and smiled, "Drunken man, you are serious again. Look at him like that, he won't admit it when his father came. Maybe it's our prince who made a trick again, and I don't know how Lv Huiqing offended him."

"Li Shenzheng, Mr. Ouyang, why are you two here? Hurry up and invite me upstairs." Lu Shenyan walked to Ouyang Xiu and Li Shen in a few steps. His greeting made the hall of the palace quite a bit of a restaurant atmosphere,

Two people followed Lu Shenyan upstairs, and the bodyguard at the top of the stairs did not stop them. They all knew that some people in the royal palace did not need to report, especially Lu Shenyan who took him upstairs.

The three of them went straight up to the third floor. In the hall, Tong Guan was learning from Lv Huiqing's way to tell others. When he heard Lv Huiqing rushing straight to the pillar, it was appropriate. The seed teacher and He Zhu laughed,

"Cough." Lu Shenyan coughed a few times. The teenagers noticed that the guests were coming and hurriedly stopped laughing.

Li Shen and Ouyang Xiu also listened seven or eight points. They looked at each other and smiled. Lu Shenyan took them to the tea room. This is a VIP waiting room. The servant brought tea to the two. Lu Shenyan said politely, "You two sit down for a moment."

Lu Shenyan turned around and came to the study next to the king. He opened the door and saw that Wang was standing by the window with his back to the door and looking out of the window. Then he looked at Liu Qi standing in front of the desk with his head down, as if he had made a mistake.

"Your Majesty, Kaifeng Li Sanzheng and Mr. Ouyang are here."

When Wang heard Lu Shenyan's report, he turned around and said sternly to Liu Qi, "No wonder Master refused to come to the capital. If you do this, it will ruin the reputation of our teahouse."

Liu Qi blushed and defended, "Your Majesty, I can't do anything about it. Fortunately, there are only a few tea merchants making trouble now. The tea industry has collected our silver, which will definitely make a big deal smaller."

"Falt, no matter how small the shoddy thing is, it is also a big deal. You think that you can make money by paying tribute to the court's tea in business. In the future, every expenditure of the court will be carefully calculated. If the funds are reduced, start with this luxury goods first. At that time, our tea can't be sold in the market, you can wait to close it. "

Lu Shenyan shrank his neck. It was rare to see Wang side so angry. Liu Qi's face turned redder and he no longer dared to refute. He just whispered, "Your Majesty, the master is also angry about this matter. The shipping envoy forced the delivery. He said that this preserved tea should be taken from early spring tea and made into a group tea, but The shipping envoy will be delivered to the capital in February. Think about it, even if the tea tree sprouts, it will be fried and pressed before it will be shipped to the capital.

Wang Bian looked up at Lu Shenyan at the door, and then said to Liu Qi, "You go down first, and then settle accounts with you when you come back. As for the tea business, you go back and say to the master: I'll deal with the aftermath of this matter and let the old man rest at ease."

Liu Qi lowered his head and left the room. Lu Shenyan invited Ouyang Xiu and Li Shen into the study next to the king. The door of the study was closed. Lu Shenyan turned around and came to the hall. Tong Guan sat on the table with his legs on his back and was talking to Liu Qi.

Lu Shenyan stepped forward and said, "Os, Liu Qi, you have such a big temper when you come here."

Liu Qi waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, Mr. Lu, don't be sarcastic. Don't say that I can't do it well. Even if I give it to Mr. Lu, it may not be easy for you. The official above waved a big pen and asked us to send something to the tea bank. He didn't ask if there was any. How much it is. If you don't hand it over, it's a protest. At least deal with it first. It's really not like the time when the prince was in charge of the tea industry in person.

Lu Shenyan smiled and said, "You child, you are like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes at a young age. Let's go and have a working meal with me." After saying that, he turned around and signaled to the study next to the king to Tong Guan and several people, "I'll ask my servants to send it to your little brothers. Now these two officials are coming. I guess the prince will have dinner with them at noon. I'll hurry to greet them and get ready."

Tong Guan suddenly remembered something and patted his head: "Oh, I was having fun just now. My father hasn't seen anyone else. When I go downstairs with you, I'll talk to him." After saying that, he followed Lu Shenyan and Liu Qi downstairs,

Lin Haozhi was sitting on the edge of the aisle outside the hall of the office building. He leaned his back against the stone foundation of the hall and covered his face with a bamboo hat. From time to time, people hurried in and out of the hall passed by him, but few people paid attention to him. The bodyguards on the steps knew that this was the person the prince wanted to see, and they did not stop him. It was really difficult to see the prince. Since waiting for noon in the morning, Wang has not finished his work. Lin Haozhi is about to fall asleep for a long time.

"Hey, why are you here?" In a trance, Lin Haozhi felt that someone was standing in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was Tong Guan. A carp stood up, and Tong Guan stepped back half a step: "Huo, what's the matter? It means that Mr. Lin is still a practitioner."

"Is it the prince who wants to see me?" Lin Haozhi waited for his eyes to ask,

Tong Guan looked up and down at Lin Haozhi: "I really can't see that you still have two things left. It's not that the prince called you. The prince has two distinguished guests. I guess I can't remember you for a while. You go to the hall first to find Manager Lu and ask him to take you to the restaurant. Eat and drink and wait slowly."

Lin Haozhi sighed, "Mr. Tong, thank you." He didn't have the heart to eat. After saying that, he sat down again and closed his eyes with a bamboo hat.

When Tong Guan saw him like this, he shook his head and thought that his father had a good impression of this person. He said that he would be useful to his place. Last time, he also saw this man in Fanta Temple with a little loyalty, so he helped him. Look at what happened to him like this. Seeing that he is not a few years older than himself, don't look at Lv Hui next to him. Qing doesn't like it. Maybe Lin Haozhi will be able to work in the royal palace.

Thinking of this, Tong Guan patted Lin Haozhi on the shoulder: "Hey, why don't you tell me in advance? Maybe I can help you."

Lin Haozhi looked up at Tong Guan. He laughed and said, "Mr. Tong is a righteous man. I have known it for a long time. I came to say goodbye to the prince this time. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or late. I'll leave after thanking the prince."

"Resign, why are you leaving the capital? Last time I saw you, you said that when you got the final payment, you would buy a house to pick up your family and live in the capital."

"Forget it, you may not understand what I'm telling you about. Thank you, Mr. Tong, for your help. How about I treat you to a drink tonight?"

Tong Guan was a little embarrassed: "Well, I made an appointment to drink with Liu Qi today. I'm not good at splitting."

Tong Guan didn't know why Lin Haozhi suddenly changed his mind to leave the capital. He felt a little disappointed. At least he must have practiced watching Lin Haozhi's posture just now. Even if he didn't do garden business, he didn't ask questions when he came to the king's mansion as a bodyguard, but he couldn't pay attention to this matter. Besides, he didn't know whether Lin Haozhi was willing or not.

Lin Haozhi continued to wait for Wang's side, but Wang's side thought that as Lu Shenyan expected, the two friends in the officialdom came. He wanted to socialize well.

In the study, Ouyang corrected and played with the ivory pen holder on the Wang's bookcase: "Good things, the royal palace is rare everywhere. The way of building this pavilion is so special, as small as a pen holder of the prince, it is so rare and exquisite."

Wang Bian had just read the list of the jury that Li Shen gave him. He put down the list and said with a smile, "This was sent by Gao Zhisheng of Dali. At that time, I just arrived in Yongzhou. Fortunately, the emperor was also there at that time. Otherwise, I would not be able to wash the charge of jumping into the Yellow River."

"Why, Gao Zhisheng wants to hurt you." Ouyang Xiu asked in surprise,

"It's not Gao Zhisheng's business. There's someone else. It's complicated enough to talk about Dali."

Li Shen put away the list: "It's not the same everywhere. It's nothing more than a struggle for power or power. Let's not talk about Dali. Fortunately, the prince came forward and let the drunken man come out of the mountain. The jury has the participation of Uncle Ouyang Yong, but it adds a lot of color to this public trial."

Ouyang Xiu curled his lips and said, "I was slandered by the prince about this. I thought I was allowed to make a comment, but I didn't know until you were trained in Kaifengfu, that is, let more than 20 people raise a card in the end, not even a word."

Li Shen said, "Why not? Yes, others don't let you say it, but you have to let Uncle Ouyang Yong say it, right, my lord." He squeezed his eyes at the king,

"Hahaha, yes." Wang Fang thought that Li Shen also seemed to have learned badly: "Of course, Uncle Yong has a very important line. Don't forget that the jury will consider how many people agree to the execution and how many people who do not agree to carry out the execution. Don't be wrong at that time."

"Well, fortunately, I know the number." After Ouyang Xiu said, all three of them laughed,

Lu Shenyan held a banquet in the VIP room. After the three of them sat down, the king said, "Uncle Yong came just in time. I have something to invite you. There are more than 30 people in my family who participated in the scientific examination this year. I have ordered my subordinates to set up a separate hospital to let the candidates concentrate on their studies, but now he is a tutor. I don't know if Uncle Yong is willing to condescend."

Li Shen gave a thumbs up next to the king. The candidate for this tutor is too awesome. Since the second year of Jiayou, Ouyang Xiu has done several scientific examination examiners,

Ouyang Xiu raised his glass and said with a smile, "The prince looks down on me. Of course I am willing to. By the way, my lord, I seem to have seen Lv Huiqing just now, and his talent is also very talented. I remember that when I was the examiner for the first time, he was a Jinshi."
