Chapter 24 Not the Eighth
Before he could come back to his senses, the strong man stopped his horse in a brightly lit courtyard and walked into Linchunyuan with Gu Qing. He shouted loudly, "Look, what's the matter that Old Cheng caught halfway?"
"What's the matter?"
Everyone in the courtyard looked at Gu Qing, who looked desperate and was being carried in the air.
It's over, his hairstyle is messy, and Gu Qing feels cold in his heart.
Cheng Yaojin let go Gu Qing falls to the ground and looks at the people in the courtyard thinking that this way of making a debut is so embarrassing. Why don’t you change your position and do it again?
"Hahaha!" Cheng Yaojin laughed, "It's this doll, who fooled my big baby with a small bag of broken leaves. What do you think?"
"Too thin!" said another middle-aged man, "I heard you made new paper? Not bad, I'm Niu Jinda."
Gu Qing bowed repeatedly.
Qin Qiong, not far away, looked at Gu Qing and turned his face and looked disgusted.
Cheng Yaojin picked up Gu Qing and sat down, and was caught on the wine table of a large group of military generals. Everyone here was drinking big wine bowls, and they were very murderous. They turned to look at the civil servant camp on the other side. There was much more politeness and wanted to go there...
"Little baby, what's the point!" Cheng Yaojin slapped the wine table and poured a bowl of wine for Gu Qing to drink, "Drink!"
Gudong... swallowed a mouthful of saliva hard, and Gu Qing looked at the bowl bigger than his face and couldn't get down. He picked up the wine bowl and sipped in front of a group of generals.
"What's the little baby? It's so unpleasant!" Cheng Yaojin slapped the wine table again, picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth.
"Cough cough cough..." Gu Qing coughed hard after being taken with a sip of wine.
"Old Cheng, he is still a child, why are you doing this!" Qin Qiong said.
"Hehehe..." Cheng Yaojin smiled, "Look, this kid is also in his teens, as big as my baby. My baby can drink a jar at the age of eight!"
"Your baby is all calves! Can it be compared with ordinary children?!" Niu Jinda also said.
Gu Qing wiped the wine on his face hard, and drank it all out. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "You guy is not polite. Don't be surprised by your uncles!"
As he said, he just drank a bowl of wine!
"Good boy! I like my old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin laughed, "Wow, hahahahahahaha!"
This loud laughter probably spread several streets.
"Before I arrived, I heard Duke Lu's laughter." Li Shimin walked into the courtyard with a smile.
A group of civil and military officials saluted one after another, "I will pay homage to Your Majesty and Empress."
Gu Qing stood in the crowd and saluted him. Li Shimin smiled and said, "I'll drink it all."
The emperor and the empress walked into the courtyard and saw a group of princes following behind. The prince should be standing in front. The fat man walking behind the prince gave Gu Qing a wink.
It was not until the emperor and the empress sat down that the civil servants and military generals followed.
He looked at the queen quietly. The woman was not beautiful but had a good temperament. When she noticed Gu Qing's eyes, she turned her head and looked down. Gu Qing hurriedly lowered her head.
The veterans were talking about the things on the battlefield, and Gu Qing broke up a chicken leg and nibbled it.
Li Tai walked over and winked Gu Qing, looked at the noisy generals around, and Gu Qing quietly left and came to the fat man, "What are you doing!"
"My mother wants to see you." Li Tai said.
Gu Qing followed Li Tai to the present queen, "Good Gu Qing, pay homage to the queen."
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "You are Gu Qing? I have read your poems and essays. There will be times when the wind and waves are long, and the clouds sails cross the sea."
"The boy is idle and has nothing to do, he wrote it out." Gu Qing grabbed the back of his head and did not dare to look up when facing the queen. This woman is very aura.
"Your master is Sun Simiao, I believe you understand medical skills as well." Empress Changsun continued to ask.
"I don't understand, I don't know anything." Gu Qing still lowered his head.
"I heard from Sun Simiao that you are a person who wants money." Empress Changsun asked again, "Why don't you accept the house that Qingque gave you?"
"Go back to the queen." Gu Qing thought for two seconds, "The grass people dare not accept it, but they don't know whether it was given by His Highness the King of Wei or His Majesty's intention. They are not very clear, so they dare not accept it."
Queen Changsun nodded, "Your new paper and movable type printing technique is clever. Tell me what benefits you want."
"I have already received the dividends from Your Majesty, so I dare not ask for anything else." As he said this, Gu Qing quietly glanced at Empress Changsun's expression and quickly lowered his head.
"You have a good poem and essay, and I searched for him all over the place. When I looked back, the man was in the dim light." Empress Changsun said again: "It is a waste to use good poems and essays in business. Fang Xuanling admires you very much. What do you think if this palace lets Fang Xuanling be your teacher?"
Thinking that he already had a master, it was not good to ask for a teacher, but seeing Li Tai winking at him hard, Gu Qing had to agree.
Empress Changsun said a few words to the palace maids around her and brought Fang Xuanling.
"My memory, Fang Xuanling pays homage to the queen." The old Fang Xuanling saluted.
Empress Changsun and Fang Xuanling said, Fang Xuanling looked at Gu Qing and said, "Sun Simiao is your master, and I am your teacher, are you willing?"
"Boy, I'm willing!" Gu Qing bent down and bowed deeply as a gift to his apprenticeship.
Fang Xuanling nodded with a smile.
Empress Changsun sat back beside her, and Li Shimin looked sideways and whispered: "How is it?"
"I can't tell much, this kid is slick." Queen Changsun lowered her voice.
"So you asked Fang Xuanling to be his teacher?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling.
"He is young and has not yet grown up." Empress Changsun said frowningly, "Fang Xuanling is a steady person and takes the overall situation into consideration. It is better to let this kid practice his temperament. If he is good at teaching, he will be a minister."
"He was not suitable for him to be an official at such a young age. There were no such young officials in the Tang Dynasty. The Queen's approach was a clever plan." Li Shimin raised his glass to everyone with a smile.
After celebrating Fang Xuanling, Gu Qing and Li Tai walked all the way in the courtyard. Seeing a group of princes and daughters walking together, a princess came and came to Gu Qing and said, "Are you Gu Qing?"
"Yes!" Gu Qing said.
"You won't salute to this princess?" the other party said, lifting his chin.
"Gao Yang!" Li Tai said angrily.
Gu Qing turned around and looked disrespectful.
Princess Gao Yang pouted and saw Gu Qing's fan, "Is the turtle drawn on your fan?"
"Princess, you're wrong." Gu Qing shook the fan hard, "This is actually a Xuanwu!"
"It's just a turtle!" Gao Yang pointed at the fan and was very serious.
"I'm wrong, it's Xuanwu!" Gu Qing corrected again.
"Hmph! It's the turtle, the big turtle!" Gao Yang said.
"Gaoyang! Don't be rude!" The prince came and said to Gu Qing, "I guess you are Gu Qing. I have heard of you these days. New paper and movable type printing can be said to be a contribution to the country."
