The silly and sweet spring of crossing

Chapter 60. Splendid Lantern (2)

When he woke up the next day, Qiu Baichen rubbed his waist and stretched again. He Lanyuzhi had already dressed, so he brought clean clothes for him to wear.

"Would you like me to go with you?" He Lanyu's health is fine, and now the capital is full of waste, so he has a lot of things to do, but if Qiu Baichen needs it, he will spend the whole morning with him .

"Do your business first. I'll just go by myself. With his personality, if you go, I'm afraid he will feel that I'm oppressing you." Qiu Baichen put on his clothes and said with a smile.He Lanyuzhi kissed his brow, the two of them kissed for a while, and they stopped lingering. They both cleaned up and had dinner. He Lanyuzhi went to the study, and Qiu Baichen brought a gift and the lantern he had a few days ago to visit Ding. tripod.

Ding Ding is a well-known lantern maker in the capital, his ancestral craftsmanship, in fact, apart from being more conservative, the lanterns he made are indeed very delicate and beautiful, which is exactly the style that people in the capital like.

As a craftsman, most of them have to get older to be better. Time will allow people to accumulate experience and become proficient.But it doesn't mean that talent is not important. If you don't have a certain talent, you can only be a craftsman who copies others, and it is impossible to become a famous craftsman.

Qiu Baichen didn't dare to say that his talent is very powerful. His advantage is that he is a modern person, and there is too much wisdom passed down from his ancestors.But of course he is also talented. He has been making lanterns for less than 20 years. It is also very impressive to be able to achieve his current achievements.

Ding Ding is a senior, and Qiu Baichen brought a palace lantern made by him, with embroidered flowers and birds on it, this lamp is very expensive.Qiu Baichen didn't know what Ding Ding liked, but since he was a lamp maker, he should like this gift.

When Qiu Baichen arrived, he thought it would be someone from the Ding family who came to pick him up, but when he opened the door, he saw Ding Ding. When Ding Ding saw him, he turned his back and didn't look at him, wanting to show that he didn't care about Qiu Baichen at all. don't care.

Qiu Baichen couldn't help laughing out loud, but he met a more awkward person than He Lanyuzhi.But now He Lanyuzhi didn't feel awkward towards him, outsiders all had a cold face, and he didn't see any awkwardness.

Ding Ding snorted, he would definitely lose face if he laughed at him, he walked into the living room, Qiu Baichen followed, and the servant was behind him holding a gift for him.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll take back today's gift." Qiu Baichen still remembered the way he looked at his lantern at that time, and now he remembers being cold-faced with him.

"There's no reason to take the gift back. Let me see what it is." Ding Ding became excited when he heard about the gift.Usually there are quite a few people who come to visit him, and they bring all kinds of gifts, but Qiu Baichen is definitely different.

"This is called a palace lantern." Qiu Baichen is holding a palace lantern. The palace lantern is a wooden frame with a silk surface. It is very delicate. It will take a long time to make one.Before Qiu Baichen pushed the palace lanterns away, he made those two lanterns and sent them to the palace before. Today, he brought them here to Ding Ding, which was considered a great deal of face to him.

Qiu Baichen asked the boy to give the box to Ding Ding, Ding Ding opened it, and when he saw the lantern inside, he couldn't maintain his cold face immediately.Qiu Baichen told him that he wanted to open a lamp shop in the capital. After all, he didn't know much about the capital, so he asked him for help.

"If you don't ask me for this matter, King Min can handle it, but if you come to me, you can trust me, so I'll help you take a look." Ding Ding doesn't open a shop now, and he has also taken in a few apprentices. They are all making lanterns outside to open a shop now, and the money they donate to him every year is enough for him to live comfortably.

To open a store, the location is of course the first ring. There is also a chamber of commerce in the capital. Before opening the store, Ding Ding and Qiu Baichen went to the chamber of commerce in the capital. They explained their identities, and the president came out to receive them directly.

To be honest, Qiu Baichen has a psychological shadow on the chairman of the chamber of commerce, and always feels that he is someone like Qin Chengbi.However, it may be because there are many important people in the capital, and if one sentence is wrong, one's life may be in danger, so the people in the capital are more gentle in their dealings with others, and they will not be arrogant.

Besides, now Qiu Baichen's identity is King Min's concubine, and King Min is now deeply trusted by the little emperor, who has the guts to dare to confront him.

In the capital, shops of the same kind will gather together, each with its own characteristics, whoever can do it will do it, and if he can't do it, he will leave. Competition has become commonplace, and everyone is used to it.If it was before, Qiu Baichen might have experienced a little intrigue, but now he bought a shop on the busiest street in the capital, and called three apprentices from Xinfang City to make lanterns here.

He also asked Wang Xian to come, but just to see the world. The head office of Jinxiu Lantern Shop is in Xinfang City. Wang Xian is his most proud apprentice. We get along with each other day and night and have feelings for him. Thinking that his parents are gone, he doesn't want him to leave. too far.

Those who come to the capital to make lanterns will be given a part of the bonus according to the income of the lantern shop every year. How much money they can earn is directly linked to how well their lanterns are made. Qiu Baichen is not afraid of them being lazy.

Qiu Baichen also made some lanterns, and put them in the store, and did not take them out, otherwise the family would definitely become a vinegar jar.Although the big wedding was not going well, Qiu Baichen's opening of the lamp shop has been going smoothly. He Lanyuzhi even personally wrote a plaque for him. The layout of the lamp shop is similar to that of Xinfang City, with several lamp shops next to it.

On the day of the opening, it was still a half-price discount. Except for the customers who bought the lanterns, other shops also sent people to congratulate them, and they also checked the situation of Qiu Baichen's lanterns.

There are many styles of Qiu Baichen's lanterns, which are divided into two types, one is the style of the capital, magnificent lanterns, the color is mainly red, and the flowers are clustered.The other is the type in Xinfang City, which incorporates a little exotic style, and the style of the lantern is relatively fresh, which makes people's eyes shine.

The lights were turned on, earning more money than Xin Fangcheng, and there were so many people who came every day, the shopkeeper and the shopkeepers were too busy to sit down and have a rest, but if they could earn more money, no one would care. feel very tired.

The operation of the lamp shop has become regular, so Qiu Baichen continued to be the hands-off shopkeeper. He traveled around the capital by himself with his servants. When he was hungry, he bought some delicious food. When he was tired, he found a place to sit and feel the capital. customs.

In the teahouse, he really heard a lot of voices, some of which were very interesting, and some of which were... guessing, and he didn't know who came from it.

He Lanyun has never said how to arrange He Lanyunzhi. Helan Yunzhi is still in the palace and is under house arrest, but He Lanyun doesn't want to short him.

He Lan Yunzhi has completely given up fighting for the throne, and he doesn't want Lu Ping or He Lin to treat him. It can be said that he has nothing to love in life, and he has already sprouted the will to die.However, he was used to enjoying the feeling of being alive, and he couldn't help but really seek death, so he fell into a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas on how to deal with the sinful prince?" At the court meeting, a minister came out and asked. In fact, most people had forgotten that there was such a person as He Lanyun. Now that someone mentioned it, everyone looked at He Lanyun. , and wait for his reply.

"In terms of reason, he is a traitor and should be executed. But he is my uncle after all. Now that the royal family is withered, I don't want to drive the uncle to death." He Lanxuan said, it was reasonable and reasonable, creating a serious relationship The image of the little emperor who values ​​righteousness.

"Your Majesty, don't raise tigers to cause trouble." An old official who had been with the late emperor said before, he had contact with the first noble concubine and He Lan Yunzhi, and he hated them very much.It seems to be an understatement to mention the seizure of the heirloom back then. Only those who experienced it at that time know how dangerous it is.

"I will consider it myself." He Lanxuan said, "I will deal with this matter as soon as possible. If you have anything else to do, please hurry up and talk about it."

After a court meeting, it was already noon, He Lanying didn't eat much in the morning, and he listened to the reports from the ministers. This year's situation was originally not very good, but because of the precautions taken before, no major incidents have occurred yet. The disaster is that there are too many things.

He Lanxuan left the hall and went to find He Lin.After Yan Ming was killed, He Lin still often came to the palace to study with He Lansong, and He Lansing would sometimes give him advice.

Everyone in He Lan's family is smart and quick to learn. Although He Lin is only a little over ten years old, he is still a child and understands a lot of truths.Because of his mother and father, he matured earlier than other children.

"Lin'er, it's well written." He Lanxuan said after reading the article written by He Lin.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, can you become the No. [-] scholar this way?" He Lin joked with him.

"I'm afraid that the number one scholar is not as good as Lin'er's writing. Does Lin'er want to be an official in the future?" He Lanxuan asked.

"I think, I want to be a high official so that I can protect my mother and my father." He Lin lowered his head as he spoke, afraid of offending He Lanxuan.He Lanxuan was not annoyed when he heard the words, but instead patted his head pityingly.

"Does Lin'er want them to be together again?" He Lanxuan asked.

"My mother doesn't want it, I just want them to live well." He Lin and Lu Ping have been dependent on each other since they were young, and their hearts are still toward her.

"But I can't guarantee that Uncle Huang will survive." He Lanxuan said, He Lin turned to look at him, his eyes were watery, and He Lanxuan's heart softened for a while.

"What will happen to the rebels? Lin'er, you've seen it too. I'm the emperor, so I can't decide everything." He Lancong continued. He Lin wanted to ask him to let He Lanyunzhi go, but it was of no use.He was still too naive now, so he didn't expect that He Lanxuan was actually taking the opportunity to blackmail him.

"I have always wanted to find a satisfactory companion to accompany me in the palace, and when he is older, I will assign him an official position. Lin'er, if you are willing to be my companion, then I will fight for it, although it is impossible Putting Uncle Huang back to reunite with you will not hurt him in the slightest."
