Chapter 564 Arrangement of Mei Sheng
Chapter 564 Arrangement of Mei Sheng
"Ding, a customer has placed an order for a yellow pear wood octagonal food box." The viewpoint system's voice always sounds at inappropriate times.
Zhou Chang couldn't figure it out, and was interrupted again. Although he ignored the viewpoint system, he sent Liu E to say goodbye to Gao Yuan.
The two were naturally reluctant to leave, and Zhou Chang got on the carriage alone, holding the octagonal food box, and then he said in his heart: "You wish, this food box can't be sold."
The viewpoint system popped up: "Just to remind you, the commission for this food box is worth five thousand taels."
"wishful thinking."
"Six thousand taels of commission is also acceptable." Unexpectedly, the Viewpoint System raised the price again.
"Hehe..." Zhou Chang only had a sneer in his heart.
At this time, the thin monkey's head popped in from behind the curtain again: "My Lord, is the candy too sweet?"
The skinny monkey's "angry" eyes were not concealed at all, and his intention to ask questions was obvious.
In line with the principle of not wasting, Zhou Chang was about to pass the candy over, but his hand became uncontrollable and he couldn't move it at all, and he felt extremely reluctant to part with it.
I had to say sorry to the skinny monkey before I could even utter a word.
The skinny monkey had understood everything and curled his lips: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never take advantage of your Majesty's feelings. Your Majesty, keep it for yourself. According to my estimation, even if you get to Jindu, you probably won't be able to finish this box of peanut candy."
After saying that, he lowered the car curtain and went to wait for departure.
Zhou Chang smiled awkwardly, and his arms uncontrollably hugged the food box again.
After Gao Yuan said goodbye to Liu E, the group of people, including Mei Sheng, finally set off in a huge convoy.
Zhou Chang never asked when Yuan Qi left Beiji and returned to Danlu.
Since Wen Qingyan is here to accompany him, Prince Yi is redundant.
It was more than half a month later when I returned to Jindu.
On the way back, apart from having a box of peanut candy to keep her company, she spent the rest of the time thinking that this was Prince Yi's first business trip, so she must prepare a "gift" for Prince Duan and Prince Xian.
So on the morning of the second day after returning to Prince Yi's Mansion, after breakfast, Zhou Chang invited Zhong Yu to summarize all the disorganized information.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, sir. You came back very late yesterday. I heard that you haven't been feeling well these days. Are you okay?" Zhou Chang asked politely.
It was already dark when I returned home last night. I heard Aunt Jing mention that Zhong Yu must have caught a cold in the autumn. I didn't expect Prince Yi to come back two days earlier, so I went to bed early.
Zhou Chang also heard that it was nothing serious, so he asked Zhong Yu to come over this morning.
Zhong Yu looked fine, his wrinkles deepened on his brows which had been furrowed for many years, and his eyes were filled with excitement after not seeing him for several months: "It's okay, it's okay... But the prince's trip was dangerous, he must have suffered a lot outside."
Of course, Zhou Chang informed Zhong Yu in detail in the letter about what had happened in the north.
The only information obtained from Yuan Qi is best discussed with Zhong Yu in person.
Just as Zhou Chang was about to speak, Mei Sheng came in from outside with a tea tray.
"By the way, Mr. Zhong, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Lin Qi, also a Jinshi this year. Because he doesn't like being an official, he volunteered to come to the mansion to help." Zhou Chang hurriedly introduced.
Zhong Yu couldn't help but look at him differently.
Mei Sheng was still holding a tea tray in his hand, and he hurriedly bowed: "Mr. Zhong, I am honored to meet you."
Zhong Yu also stood up and said politely: "Thank you very much, thank you very much. You are the one who saved my prince's life. It is Master Lin who should thank me."
"How can I be worthy of such a humble title from you, sir? I am so ashamed, so ashamed..." Meisheng's waist was almost bent to the ground.
Zhong Yu also bowed deeply to express his sincere gratitude.
Zhou Chang couldn't stand the politeness between scholars.
Originally, when she entered the city yesterday, she sent Meisheng home to see her mother. She also promised that if he wanted to do anything in the future, he could come to the palace to find her at any time, and then he would say hello to Zhong Yu.
Unexpectedly, Mei Sheng came to Prince Yi's mansion early this morning, and just as he had done at Beiji Posthouse and on the way back, he wanted to take care of Prince Yi's daily life.
Before this, Zhou Chang had indeed encountered many inconveniences in his daily life away from home, so he greedily enjoyed Mei Sheng's care.
But now that I'm back in Jindu, I can no longer treat Mei Sheng like a skinny monkey.
So Zhou Chang entrusted Mei Sheng to Zhong Yu: "That's perfect, both of you don't have to be polite. Since we have already met, I would like to ask Mr. Zhong to take the trouble to arrange some things for Mei Sheng, even if it is just to let him help you as your assistant."
The clock and nature are constantly humble.
Zhou Chang wanted to say the whole thing: "Of course, when the library and school prepared by you open, I will arrange for Meisheng to teach there. I believe he will be able to do the job."
"Of course there is no problem with this, but isn't it a waste of talent?" Zhong Yu was sincere.
Mei Sheng put the tea tray on the table and poured tea for each of them without saying much.
Zhou Chang did not want to intervene too much on this issue: "As long as Meisheng is willing, it doesn't matter what teacher he is from. As long as he is willing to do it and the teacher can arrange it, it's all fine."
Mei Sheng remained silent, and Zhong Yu did not dare to ask more questions, so he just nodded and agreed.
Afterwards, Zhou Chang arranged Mei Sheng to live in the courtyard next to Zhong Yu.
Since Yuan Qi left, although Yuan Yun also brought a lot of people into the palace, many courtyards in the palace were vacant again.
Zhou Chang gave another final word: "Mr. Zhong, you can take time to teach Mei Sheng more, so that he can share some of your responsibilities as soon as possible."
"Yes, I've been thinking about that too." Zhong Yu nodded in agreement.
Judging from his expression, he was very satisfied with Mei Sheng.
Zhou Chang also reminded Meisheng: "Meisheng, you should not always do these rough jobs. Learn more from Mr. Zhong. It will definitely be useful to you in the future."
"Yes, these things won't delay anything." Mei Sheng agreed and then stepped back.
Zhou Chang reorganized his thoughts and had already thought about it in advance: "You mentioned in your letter that there is indeed a deputy general named Sun in the East Suburbs Garrison Camp, named Sun Xiang, who has a big black mole behind his ear, but he is not the deputy general beside King Xian?"
Zhong Yu frowned habitually: "According to the information I got later, this man should have been one of the deputy generals of King Xian before, and was later transferred to the East Suburbs Garrison Camp."
Zhou Chang couldn't help but frown when he thought about the numerous deputy generals surrounding King Xian, but he still tried to be rigorous: "Is it accurate? Is there someone with the same surname, or is there someone similar around King Xian?"
"No..." Zhong Yu shook his head with certainty. "According to investigation, since returning from the hunting palace last year, King Xian has successively replaced a group of people around him, including four lieutenant generals and four deputy generals. Basically, he replaced all his trusted people and placed them in various military camps in the suburbs of Jindu."
"Everyone around him was replaced... Then the people around the king are still fine, they just changed their positions and were not silenced?" Zhou Chang pondered. "Merry Christmas!"
