After the day of Li Cunxu's succession, Cao Shuhua took leave, and his family has long been used to him traveling far away for business from time to time for so many years, so it's not surprising. He just asked for some advice and didn't ask any more questions, so he was relieved to let him go.

Cao Shuhua told Li Cunxu that he was going to leave, and Li Cunxu got up early on the day of Cao Shuhua's trip, but it was just as usual, and he didn't intend to see him off at all.

"His Royal Highness, Cao Lang is leaving the city today." Jing Xinmo secretly looked at Li Cunxu's face while talking.Because he has succeeded to the throne, the title has changed from Shizi to King Jin.

Li Cunxu opened his arms as usual to make it easier for the servant to take care of his clothes, "He went out of the city in the morning and clashed with the court, so he deliberately let me go. I wanted to promote him to an official position, but he ran away. Faster than anyone else, besides, there is no reason why the King of Jin would send a pick-up off."

"This, this, Cao Lang left the city so early, he must want to come back as soon as possible." Jing Xin paused, slapped his forehead, and said as if he had suddenly realized.

"The black part of your mouth can be called white, and the white part can be called black." Li Cunxu walked out of the hall and looked in the direction of the city gate. Because it was in the north, and it was only early spring, the wind in Yinshi had no moisture at all. The nasal cavity of the person who only blows hurts.

He said he was not going to see him off, but he probably still thought about it in his heart.

Cao Shuhua took the team out of the city gate at Yinshi, and dozens of carriages left the city gate mightily.Except the one for Cao Shuhua himself, the one for his entourage, and the one for Li Jiuling, all of them were full of goods.

Li Jiuling was someone Li Cunxu helped Cao Shuhua find who could speak foreign languages. Naturally, Cao Shuhua would not neglect him and arranged a car for him alone.In fact, Cao Shuhua still felt a little sorry, originally Li Jiuling only had to work every day, but now he had to go on such a tiring trip with him.

Cao Shuhua also expressed his apology specifically for this, and told him that if he was not used to anything, he would tell him.

Li Jiuling only replied that everything was fine, and that his attitude was neither close nor far away. Cao Shuhua only thought that it was because of his personality that he might not be good at interacting with others, so he didn't care too much.It's just that Li Jiuling said that he wanted to ride with Cao Shuhua on weekdays, which surprised Cao Shuhua very much.

"Why?"

"It's a long way and the two of us can be companions. If Cao Lang doesn't want to take it easy, it would be rude." Li Jiuling said.

"Just call me by my name. Cao Lang makes me feel uncomfortable. If you think about it, it's more interesting to have two companions on the road. How can I refuse?"

In this way, the two of them got into the same car.It's just that Li Jiuling said that the journey together would be more interesting, but he didn't say a word when he got into the car, and just sat and looked at the bamboo slips by himself.

Cao Shuhua didn't want to disturb him, so he didn't care about him, he just said in his heart, what a weird person.

Li Jiuling looked at the bamboo slips and frowned silently remembering what he was ordered to do.This Cao Shuhua looks good now, and he is probably very talented in business, but he shouldn't be so valued, every word and deed should be written down, such excessive attention, as a courtier, I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune .

Of course it is inappropriate to memorize it in front of others, Li Jiuling decided to memorize it together at night, fortunately, his memory is not bad.

In this way, Li Jiuling looked at Cao Shuhua occasionally, while pretending to be looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.What Cao Shuhua read seemed to be the playbook, tsk, it was too obvious that he liked what he liked.He originally thought that a nobleman like Cao Shuhua should read some classics, no matter how bad it was, it should be a collection of poems.Out of curiosity, Li Jiuling took a closer look.

At first, Cao Shuhua was not sure, after all, he thought it was too narcissistic for others to keep looking at him. In order to prevent blaming others, Cao Shuhua let Li Jiuling secretly look at him for a long time, and then he was sure.But it would be too embarrassing to tell people directly that you should not stare at me.

At noon, when the motorcade stopped for everyone to eat dry food, Cao Shuhua gnawed on the dry food in his hand and asked with a smile: "Today I saw that Li Lang seems to be interested in the playbook in my hand. If that's the case, you might as well tell me. If you like to borrow a few books, you can read them."

Li Jiuling didn't know that Cao Shuhua knew about it at this time, but the other party gave him the stairs, so he naturally walked down the stairs, so he simply expressed his doubts: "I saw Cao Lang today who seems to be very fond of drama, so Feeling a bit unexpected, I took a few more glances." "I see that you like history books very much." Cao Shuhua knew that Li Jiuling felt that opera was a bit out of date.

"There is a lot to learn from reading history books. Besides, those wise rulers and ministers in the history books seem to understand them better every time I read them."

"The reason why I like opera is probably related to it. It makes you happy to know these people. It also makes me happy that more people can understand these people." Cao Shuhua replied with a smile.

The caravan has been marching for several days, and it is already far away from Jinyang.Sitting in the carriage and being rocked by it.In the beginning, Li Jiuling had trouble falling asleep because of this, but now he almost feels nothing.The scene outside is already close to the outside of the Great Wall. Tomorrow is born, and it is a bit obvious on the bare ground. If you are a poetic person, I am afraid that you will have to write a poem in time. Unfortunately, this caravan is full of simple businessmen, the only two possibilities There was a leisure time, one was still a little dazed after waking up, and the other was not very interested in writing poems and prose.

After walking with the caravan for a few days, Li Jiuling was a little curious about the scenery different from Jinyang at first, and he was not good at writing poems, so he also wrote a few travel notes, planning to keep them when he went back.But no matter how novel it was, I was tired of watching it for a few days. At this time, the sun had just risen and the light was not good, so I could only look at the outside of the car idly.

After a few days of marching, Li Jiuling had a new understanding of Cao Shuhua.Before, I subjectively thought that Cao Shuhua was just a jester who relied on singing to get to the top, so I didn't like him very much.I even felt that arranging myself to come here might be because someone wanted to punish me.

But Li Jiuling found that Cao Shuhua always had his own ideas, which were different from those he knew before.Poetry and songs are superior, and operas are inferior and cannot be put on the stage. This is the consensus of almost everyone.But Cao Shuhua seems to feel from the bottom of his heart that these professions are all equal.The set of words that I said can always wrap myself around, and it always feels as if it is right.

parable

Li Jiuling looked at Cao Shuhua, who was half asleep and half awake. This person looked ordinary, even a little too defenseless.But there are always some strange but inexplicable things that can be said from his mouth.Moreover, the relationship between this person and King Jin is too good, no matter what happens, he should be able to leave his name in the history books.

"I always feel that it must be a great honor to be included in the history books, but it's a pity that I'm just an ordinary official." Li Jiuling couldn't help but think of himself and said a little frustrated.

Cao Shuhua was still yawning, but when he heard him say this, he comforted him, "Why are you so young and discouraged? You love history books so much, maybe you can even participate in the compilation of history books."

"Then I will accept your good words, but I think Cao Lang must be able to leave a mark in the history books." Li Jiulang looked at Cao Shuhua and said sincerely.

Cao Shuhua frowned when he heard that. He didn't belong to this era, and naturally it was impossible to leave any traces, so he had to perfunctory and said with a smile, "I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be an honest person." Flattering. Besides, even if a person like me is lucky enough to leave a name, it is probably the most inconspicuous type in history books. Who can understand me through those few words? It is better to live in this moment than that. "

Li Jiuling heard the joke in Cao Shuhua's mouth. Although he felt that there was some truth in it, but the things he liked were so underestimated, he felt a little unhappy, so he said seriously: "I want to write a biography for you."

"Eh?" Cao Shuhua's eyes widened and he was startled by Li Jiuling's words. If he didn't feel wrong, this person should have had some prejudice against him before, why did he change his nature so quickly.

Just as he was talking, Li Jiuling also felt strange about his own thoughts, and casually asked if he could write biographies for others, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I have written some scripts and printed books. The sales volume is not large, but it can still be subsidized. Home. I want to write a character similar to you in my storybook."

Cao Shuhua found it interesting that he could be written into the book by others: "Of course there is no problem. Then you have to tell me where you bought this book. I will also buy a set and come back to see if you write me as a book. What's up?"

"It would be great if Cao Lang agreed. I will give Cao Lang a set when the time comes."

"Don't call me that, Cao Lang. It looks unfamiliar. I'm not used to it." Cao Shuhua said.The name Cao Lang always has a feeling of superior and inferior, it sounds very unfamiliar, even a servant would only call him Cao Lang in front of outsiders on weekdays, at this time, it feels a bit strange to hear a peer like Li Jiuling call him that every day weird.In fact, he wanted to say that when Li Jiuling called him that at the beginning, but he was not very familiar with it, so he couldn't say it.At this time, they got acquainted and said it naturally.

"That's fine, but I don't know your words."

Cao Shuhua was taken aback when he said the word, the teacher gave Cao Shuhua the word before he passed it, it was Zihua.It's just that later I either lived in Xu Qing's Taoyuan academic school, or ran around in business, met few people of the same age, and Li Cunxu didn't like this word very much. He always called himself Shuhua, so he called himself Zihua. Very few people forget it over time.

"I was negligent. My name is Zihua. You can call me Zihua from now on."
