Chapter 968 Old Shuai He bid farewell to the army, Lu Dongjiang visited King Liang
In the study, although the young vassal king did not wear python uniforms, Lu Dongjiang was wearing meticulous official uniforms after all, but there was no meaning of the monarch and ministers’ report from beginning to end. It was like an ordinary chat between father-in-law and son-in-law, even involving official affairs, the young vassal king also smiled, mostly because the deputy manager was saying that young people listened carefully and had no expression of impatientness. During this period, the young vassal king even poured a cup of herbal tea for everyone in the house. Tea is a white frost tea produced in Lingzhou. It is like green ant wine, and it is so rusty that it is a summer tea, without any chewyness and has a strong astringent taste. Only the old tea tourists in Lingzhou who are short of money are happy to taste it. The reason why Baishuang Tea was appointed by Lao Liang King Xu Xiao as the “tribute tea” of the Qingliang Mountain Palace and the Beiliang border army was that in the tea production area, more than 800 people entered the Liangzhou border cavalry together, and they all happened to become robes. In a war outside the pass, eight hundred cavalry took the initiative to cut off the rear and all died in battle. The small county of Lingzhou, which had a sparse population, had only three small counties in its jurisdiction. At that time, almost every household was as white as white frost. In this regard, the Lu family’s children probably haven’t even heard of it. They just wonder how the young vassal king who has been used to the richest and most leisurely days in the world can make such a joke. Of course, as long as most young people can drink this cup of tea, they will still be as happy as they are even more difficult to drink or enter the stomach.
Only Lu Chengqing, who was standing in the corner, felt bitter.
Even for a short journey into the city, he was listening to Lu Chenghe and others chatting about the antique treasures that flowed into the people from the Northern Liang Palace. They all took a chance to find a few items and missed a few.
Lu Chengqing has no spare money, and even if he has it, he will not buy it.
At this moment, Lu Chengqing looked at the young vassal king who always smiled warmly, and felt that the aftertaste of the cup of tea was even more astringent.
Lu Dongjiang should also know that the war outside the pass is in full swing, and the young vassal king needs to handle heavy matters himself, so he did not stay for a long time and quickly stood up to say goodbye.
After the young vassal king stood up, he picked up a long brocade box placed on the corner of the table, walked around the table, and handed it to the deputy manager and smiled apologetically: “There is no good stuff here. I sent this box of ‘bamboo tube small purple cone’ from Wutongyuan. It’s not worth much, it’s just rare.”
Lu Dongjiang’s eyes lit up. He took the box and laughed and said, “The prince is intent. From the Great Feng Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn and Southern Tang Dynasty, the purple green 2-tips of Zhulin County in Huizhou were tributes. Fenglu clearly records that “the annual tribute green 5-tips and four-tips of purple hair”. Especially the purple hair brush “The old rabbit on the stone is like a tiger, and eating bamboo and drinking spring produces purple hair” is the most precious. Unfortunately, after the destruction of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, the war affected Zhulin County and almost no grass grows. This kind of small purple cone has become a lasting pen. It is said that even the imperial study in Tai’an City has only two or three small purple cones, and they are reluctant to use it, and they are only for viewing. Prince, I am not intimate. I have been searching for Qingzhou for more than ten years in my early years, but I am stillI can’t get it, I’m so lucky! “
The young vassal king smiled and said, “This is a coincidence. “
Lu Dongjiang came here and returned with excitement.
The Lu family’s children must be honored.
Just as the young vassal king stood up and sent them out of the study, Lu Chenghe suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, “I heard that when the prince was still His Highness, he once wrote a poem about ‘Rain hitting banana leaves a thousand times and sitting and watching 10,000 koi tails’.”
Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled, “That’s true. “
Lu Dongjiang knew something was wrong, but before the deputy secretary could make an adult stop him, Lu Chenghe, who seemed to be out of the bag, said directly: “The prince originally intended to belittle the fake wealth of Han Jiajing, a famous scholar in Jiangnan, right?”
Xu Fengnian still smiled and nodded slightly.
Lu Dongjiang, holding a brocade box, had just left the will, and in fact, he was looking forward to a beautiful thing in his heart.
Lu Chenghe said bluntly: “But the prince’s words are tantamount to laughing at a hundred steps with fifty steps. The poem of wealth and honor made up of golden and jade is naturally not really rich, but the prince’s listening to Chaohu koi, the thousand banana trees in Wutongyuan, and my “Little Zhai flirts with the light wind, the tall buildings hang lights and dissolve the moon’, how about it?”
Xu Fengnian’s smile even stronger: “The high and the low are judged. In fact, my second sister scolded me like you, saying that I was worse than the old guy named Han, and suddenly became rich and even Han Jiajing’s implicit skill in decorating his storefront was gone. “
Lu Chenghe was speechless now.
He really didn’t expect the young vassal king to reveal his shortcomings so much, and his beautiful drafts were useless.
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: “You are the Lu Gaobiao, who said, “I would rather be a ghost in Qingzhou than a dog in the northern Liang Dynasty.” Your sister once mentioned you to me in Wutongyuan, saying that you are too talented. “
Lu Dongjiang said smoothly: “Prince, this kid is a little talented, but he just can’t regard the word “sheng”. “
Xu Fengnian smiled but said nothing.
Apart from Lu Dongjiang who was satisfied, the young people bowed respectfully again.
Lu Chengqing was still walking at the end. For some reason, the unknown little family man suddenly turned his head and looked at him in a strange way. He happened to see the young vassal king smiling at him, and gently threw a small object to him.
Lu Chengqing subconsciously reached out to catch the cold object with the seal, and held it in the palm of his hand, with a confused look on his face.
The young vassal king blinked at him and turned to walk into the study.
Lu Chengqing, who was sweating profusely, tried his best to remain calm and continue to move forward slowly.
He let go of his hand a little and looked down.
It was indeed a small private seal with white jade texture.
The one Lu Chengqing holds is an appraisal seal.
This type of seal is used to seal calligraphy, painting and cultural relics. It emerged in the Dafeng Dynasty and flourished in the nine countries in the Spring and Autumn Period.
