The first thousand one hundred and nine chapters drink slips
"Have Lord Han been to Silla?"
The speaker was Du Chong, the editor-in-chief of "Chang'an Express". He was the only middle-aged man here and he was also the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Everyone respected him very much. Plus, the newspaper was treating him tonight, so he naturally became today's editor.
Late initiator.
Han Yu contributed several articles to "Chang'an Express" last year, describing the drought in Jizhou, Hebei, which attracted the attention of the imperial court. Guo Song specially appointed Wei Yingwu as the pacifier of Hebei and went to Jizhou to urge the local government to fight the drought and calm the people. Therefore, Du Chong was deeply impressed by Han Yu.
.
Han Yu smiled slightly and said: "I haven't been there yet. I plan to go there this summer and autumn."
Du Chong immediately smiled and said: "Our newspaper will soon have a new column for collecting stories from foreign lands, so I will first make an appointment with Han Shijun for a manuscript."
"No problem. After I go to Silla, I will definitely write more about my experiences."
Guo Jincheng asked a little strangely: "Does the newspaper still have extra space now?"
Du Chong chuckled, "The current newspapers are single-sided, and soon we will launch double-sided newspapers, so there will be more content."
"But will the handwriting on the front and back affect reading?"
"No, we have done repeated experiments and increased the viscosity of the pulp by one point. As long as you don't look at the sun, the newspaper will not be transparent. In this way, the content of the newspaper can be doubled, and the introduction of each merchant can be more detailed.
a little."
At this time, Bai Juyi winked at Guo Jincheng repeatedly. He wanted to join the newspaper as a writer, but he finally sat down with the newspaper's chief editor. How could he let go of this opportunity.
Guo Jincheng understood and asked Du Chongxiao: "After the newspaper expands its edition, it should recruit writers, right?"
"Of course we have to recruit. Do you have any friends you want to introduce?"
Guo Jincheng pointed at Bai Juyi and said with a smile: "How about this Bai Jinshi?"
Du Chong laughed and said, "You're fourth on the list, and you actually come to the newspaper to work as a small writer. It's so unfair!"
Bai Juyi was about to speak, but Du Chong waved his hand and said: "I understand Bai Xiandi's thoughts. Many young officials want to come to the newspaper office part-time as writers. If Bai Xiandi is an official in the capital, maybe I will consider Jiulang's recommendation and arrange for you to work part-time. But after two years,
Heaven is the civil service examination, and officials will be awarded after passing the exam. If Bai Xiandi is transferred to a local government as an official, what's the point of me agreeing to you now?"
"What if I am assigned to the capital?"
Du Chong said calmly: "Since it is Jiulang's recommendation, of course I have to give him face. What if Bai Xiandi is assigned to be an official in the capital? Then you can come to the newspaper office to see me at any time."
After saying that, he took out a famous card and gave it to Bai Juyi. Bai Juyi was overjoyed and took it quickly. With the famous card, he would not be blocked from visiting Du Chong in the newspaper office.
Lu Nan next to him said with a smile: "Or is Xiao Xue's face more important? There are many young officials who want to work part-time in newspapers. I know a few colleagues who ask me to find connections? I can't help it? Xiao Xue solved it in one sentence. It's so simple."
It’s so enviable!”
At this time, Xiao Zhenye, who was very drunk, sneered and said: "You are a fool to find connections! He is the prince of Jin Dynasty, who dares not to give him face? Is he willing to sit here and drink with you? It's your face.
, you really take yourself seriously."
Xiao Zhenye saw Han Yu, Bai Juyi and others getting along well with Guo Jincheng. Guo Jincheng actually gave Bai Juyi a favor. He was so jealous that he went crazy with jealousy. Plus, he drank too much? In a moment of enthusiasm, he exposed Guo Jincheng's identity without thinking.
.
There was silence in the room. Everyone was stunned. Du Chong laughed and said: "Is this a big joke? You can't talk nonsense like this. Please invite him down to sober up!"
After saying that, he winked at several of his subordinates in the newspaper office. Who understood? He quickly picked up Xiao Zhenye and said, "Brother Xiao, if you are going to cause trouble by talking nonsense like this, go and wake up in the bar!"
He forced Xiao Zhenye to walk out, and Xiao Zhenye shouted: "I'm not drunk, I'm not talking nonsense, that's the truth, let me go!"
Xiao Zhenye was taken away, but the room was a little awkward. Guo Jincheng remained silent. Du Chong said with a smile: "It seems that I have to clarify something for everyone, because Xiao Xue has a great reputation and introduced several friends to the newspaper office.
There are rumors that Xiao Xue is the prince of Jin Dynasty, but the truth is not the case. The truth is that the big proprietor behind our newspaper is Xiao Xue’s elder."
Bai Juyi actually remembered the incident in the glass house and asked curiously: "Xiao Xue, the elder Chief Judge Du mentioned is your aunt, right?"
Guo Jincheng nodded, "It's my aunt and Zhang Shibo. You have met Zhang Shibo. He is the tall and fat senior in the glass house. He is one of the richest men in Chang'an. He and my aunt are both the big proprietors of the newspaper."
Bai Juyi wanted to ask the prince of Jin again about his son, but Xue Qing winked at him, and Bai Juyi immediately shut up knowingly.
Du Chong raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come! Let us raise our glasses again to congratulate our young prodigy Jiulang and Bai Laodi high school Jinshi, cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses together, "Cheers!"
........
Xiao Zhenye was drunk and was sent home by his entourage. He never came back. He drank for more than half an hour. When the time was almost up, the wine was over. Du Chong paid the bill and everyone said goodbye and went home.
Bai Juyi was very drunk and was helped onto the bullock cart. Guo Jincheng and Xue Qing were responsible for taking him back to the inn. Guo Jincheng got on the bullock cart and waved goodbye to Han Yu.
"Brother Han, let's meet again when we have time!"
Han Yu waved and smiled: "No problem, I still have a while in Chang'an. When you finish your busy work these days, I will treat you to a drink!"
"Drink...don't forget to call me!" Bai Juyi shouted vaguely.
"Don't worry! I can't live without you." Guo Jincheng said with a smile.
The ox cart slowly started to drive away. Han Yu and Lu Nan watched the ox cart go away and then got on the horses.
Lu Nan was born in Zuozangling, seventh rank, and had an official courtyard covering an area of two acres in Chang'an New City. Although his family had a house in Chang'an, Lu Nan lived in his own official courtyard. During his stay in Chang'an, Han Yu also
Live in Lu Nan's home.
The Guanyuan is located next to the Weiyang Palace in the New City. Walk north from Xi'anmenwai Street and ride a horse for a quarter of an hour to get there.
The two rode horses slowly. Han Yu sighed and said, "Old Xiao is so out of control today, talking nonsense like this!"
Lu Nan smiled faintly, "Do you think he is talking nonsense?"
Han Yu was startled, "Isn't it...isn't it nonsense?"
Lu Nan shook his head, "Did you hear Xiao Xue's denial?"
Han Yu thought for a while and became more surprised and said: "Yes! He just said that the newspaper was founded by his aunt and elders, and did not mention the prince of Jin at all. Is he really the prince of Jin?"
Lu Nan was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, I have suspected it for a long time. His guards are not ordinary guards. They can't be hired no matter how rich they are. One time, my master let it slip that Xue Qing was Xue Zizheng's son.
"
"Xue Xun?" Han Yu said in surprise.
Lu Nan nodded, "Xue Zizheng is Princess Jin's father, so Xue Qing is Princess Jin's brother, and little Xue spends all day with him, don't you think the answer is about to come out?"
Han Yu was silent in thought, and Lu Nan smiled and continued: "The crown prince of Jin is called Guo Jincheng, and Xiao Xue is called Xue Jin. His name in the newspaper office is Xuecheng. Old Xiao found out a long time ago, so he tried his best to flatter him. Unfortunately, he is today
He said something he shouldn't have said, and if I'm not wrong, he will be transferred out of Chang'an in a few days. Maybe he will get a blessing in disguise, and the King of Jin will give him a good job and send him to a local official."
At this time, Han Yu said with a smile: "Even if he is the Crown Prince of Jin, it doesn't matter. Since he doesn't want to regard himself as the Crown Prince of Jin, then I will continue to treat him as Xiao Xue."
"You don't care?" Lu Nan gave Han Yu a strange look.
Han Yu laughed and said, "What do I care? The King of Jin is in his prime. When it is the turn of the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that I will already be a third-rank official!"
Lu Nan's heart suddenly became enlightened, and he couldn't help but laugh: "You can see clearly, poor old Xiao just hasn't figured this out!"
........
In the room of Prince Jin's Mansion, Guo Song listened to the report of the female guard, nodded and said: "I understand, you have worked hard these past few days, please continue to protect the prince!"
The female guard bowed and retreated. Xue Tao on the side said angrily: "That guy named Xiao, how can he talk nonsense like this? He is still an official! There is no sense of propriety at all."
Guo Song was also very dissatisfied, but he did not show it. He just said lightly: "When you are drunk, you sometimes talk nonsense!"
"Husband, what should I do now?"
Xue Tao said worriedly: "If Cheng'er's identity is revealed, I'm afraid his safety cannot be guaranteed. Husband, we can't let him outside anymore."
Guo Song thought of the mysterious Tangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and nodded and said: "Let him go home tomorrow. He really can't live outside anymore. Hongwen Hall will be officially established in two days. He will go to Hongwen Hall to continue his studies. He just now
At the age of fifteen, you have to wait until at least the weak crown to build an independent mansion!"
"Then he is studying in Hongwen Hall, where does he live?"
Guo Song thought for a while and said: "It should be that he lives in Hongwen Hall. He is not the only one. There are about twenty teenagers. The children of Du Xiangguo and Pan Xiangguo will also study there, and there will also be some young new scholars.
Enter the Hongwen Hall to work as a proofreader."
"Wouldn't that mean we are isolated from the outside world?"
Xue Tao was a little worried. She wanted her son to be safe, but she didn't want him to be isolated from the world like he was in prison.
Guo Song smiled and said: "Don't worry! After Cheng'er entered the newspaper office, his personality became much more cheerful. I won't let him close himself again. I have already considered it. When the situation calms down, I will often let him go out with his friends."
If he wants to travel, he can continue to work for the newspaper, but he will change the way slightly. In short, Cheng'er has gradually grown up and started to have his own ideas. We have to respect him and can no longer treat him as a child.
