Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

After seeing "Ping An Tie", Liu Bai immediately fell in love with this authentic calligraphy.

"It's such a pity to give such a good thing to Zhangsun Wuji."

Thinking in his heart, Liu Bai looked up at Han Tong, and said with a smile, "Could it be that you also received the invitation?"

Han Tong rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said, "My lord, the lower official is just a county magistrate, how can I get into the eyes of the eldest grandson? So I want to ask you, can you bring the upper and lower officials when celebrating the eldest grandson's birthday?" "

Liu Bai frowned and thought for a while, then sighed, and said, "Why don't I want to take you there? But, the invitation only has a certain Liu's name written on it. If I take someone else here without permission, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction with my eldest grandson." Joy!"

Han Tong wasn't too disappointed, he also thought of what Liu Bai said.

The dignified minister and servant shoot birthdays, and the people who go there are all bigwigs from the court. He is just a county magistrate, and he can't even count as a fart.

"What the young master said is also reasonable. However, I still have a merciless request. I hope that the young master can give the gift on your behalf. If you can take the opportunity to say something nice for the low official, the low official will be grateful!"

"It's not bad, but, as far as I know, Lord Changsun is not interested in things like calligraphy and painting. If he doesn't even take a look at it, I'm afraid Liu has no reason to mention your name."

Han Tong was taken aback.

"This "Ping An Tie" is worth a thousand dollars, why?"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bai's face sank, "What is the status of the eldest grandson, how can he put money in his eyes?"

Hearing what he said, Han Tong panicked.

"It's a slip of the tongue!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Bai, and said cautiously: "I also ask you to be an official, and point out a clear way!"

Since it is a gift, it is necessary to give a gift that suits Changsun Wuji's appetite. If he doesn't like it, no matter how expensive it is, it will not help.

And as the most "valued" young man by Changsun Wuji, how could Liu Bai not know his preferences?

Liu Bai nodded slightly, with a solemn expression on his face.

"My lord Changsun's legs were injured when he fought with His Majesty in the early years, and the pain became unbearable in winter. Liu specially asked someone to bring a rare white tiger skin mattress from Liaodong. I think my lord Changsun will be very satisfied."

Han Tong's eyes lit up.

It is indeed very appropriate to use a tiger skin mattress as a birthday gift.

Not only is it precious, but it is also something that can be used in daily life. As long as the eldest grandson Wuji is covered with a tiger blanket, he will be able to think of the person who gave this birthday gift.

Wonderful!

However, even though he thought about it, he couldn't think of similar birthday gifts.

He simply gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master, can you mention to your eldest grandson when you are giving the birthday gift? The next official is willing to give the "Ping An Tie" to you!"

He knew that Liu Bai liked calligraphy and painting very much, so why not give Liu Bai a few good words when he asked Liu Bai to give him a birthday present.

In this way, not only did Changsun Wuji notice him, but he also flattered Liu Bai.

Surprised expression appeared on Liu Bai's face, and then he nodded in a 'difficult' way, "Forget it, it's rare that you have such a heart, so Liu will mention it to the elder grandson, as for the future, it depends on your luck! "

Han Tong was grateful, bowed again and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

After returning home, Liu Bai put the "Ping An Tie" in the dark compartment of the study.

This secret compartment is specially built for collecting treasures.

Also placed inside is Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Outing".

The reason why it is placed in the dark compartment is not that it is afraid of being stolen.

Instead, they are guarding against 'house thieves'.

On weekdays, only oneself can enter the study room, but Cheng Chumo and the others would occasionally come here to look for Liu Bai.

If it was placed directly on the shelf, maybe these three guys would have a short-circuit of their brains one day and destroy the treasure.

As for Han Tong

Liu Bai didn't bother to take care of him, since he wasn't one of his own anyway.

Say good things to Changsun Wuji for him?

Even if Liu Bai is crazy, he won't do this

Chapter 75: Changsun Wuji's Birthday Banquet, Did You See Liu Bai's Carriage?

Two days later, the eldest grandson's family put up lanterns and festoons in the other courtyard in Sanyuan County, as if it was Chinese New Year.

The housekeepers and maids were so busy that they didn't touch the ground, and the family guards, with eyes as wide as copper bells, wandered around and patrolled.

The people who came here today are all big shots, and there is no room for mistakes.

Changsun Wuji was sitting in the study on the second floor, drinking tea and reading.

knock knock --

"Enter!"

The eldest grandson rushed in, and before he could speak, he smelled the familiar fragrance of tea.

This kind of tea fragrance is unique to Liu Yexuan.

As soon as he smelled this smell, Chang Sun Chong immediately thought of Liu Bai, and at the same time, he also thought of his miserable situation three days ago.

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said, "Father, everything is ready!"

Changsun Wuji didn't raise his head, and said calmly: "Your Majesty has gone to Jiucheng Palace, so he probably won't come again. After the guests arrive, you should entertain them first!"

"The boy knows!"

The eldest grandson responded and withdrew.

After a long while, Changsun Wuji put down the book, took another sip of tea, and said, "Only one story has saved the Taoist sect from its decline, but this son of Liu Bai is becoming more and more difficult for the old man to see through."

I saw that "The Complete Biography of the Eight Immortals" was impressively written on the cover of that book!

He stood up, hammered his waist, and walked slowly to the window.

Looking down, the people who are busy have more expectations in their eyes.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

In order to enter the Zhongshu Province, he did not hesitate to personally visit many important officials in the court.

Today's birthday banquet is to see the attitude of these people.

At dusk, Liu Bai set off from home with Cheng Chumo, Chai Lingwu and Li Chengqian.

When passing through Jingyang County, I happened to meet Fang Xuanling and others who had just left the city.

As usual, the old guys drank tea and listened to books in Liuyexuan, and they never left behind.

Because of Li Chengqian's presence, several old guys got out of the car one after another and saluted Li Chengqian.

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Li Chengqian waved his hands like a little adult, and said, "Masters, you don't need to be too polite!"

Except for Dai Zhou, several others had taught Li Chengqian, but they did not hold positions in the East Palace, so Li Chengqian called them 'masters' instead of 'sirs', or directly called them official positions.

"I don't know where His Royal Highness is going?" Fang Xuanling asked.

He asked Liu Bai these words.

You know, Liu Bai is now the 'guardian' of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Liu Bai chuckled, and said, "It's the eldest grandson's birthday, so Liu will naturally go to celebrate his birthday!"

Everyone was startled.

The story of Changsun Chong and Wang Chongji being 'hunted down' by old Wang Gui in Chang'an was widely circulated.

Although people don't know the real reason behind it, they can vaguely guess that it has something to do with Liu Bai.

After all, Changsun Chong went back and forth between Chang'an and Liujiazhuangzi several times like a madman that day, and many people saw it.

Fang Xuanling and others also heard about it.

With such a big problem, the eldest grandson's family will still invite Liu Bai?

But Fang Xuanling and the others didn't ask, who doesn't have any secrets yet?

"Coincidentally, the old man and others have also received the invitation, how about going with them all the way?"

"So good!"

Anyway, with Cheng Chumo and the others, there is nothing serious to talk about. A few more people will save you from being bored on the road.

Fang Xuanling and the others got into Liu Bai's carriage without saying a word.

Dai Zhou simply asked his own carriage to go back, and got in too.

Liu Bai's carriage looks very big, sitting in it is better than being squeezed in Dai Zhou's carriage.

This carriage was specially made by Liu Baijia some time ago. It has a lot of space. From the outside, it looks like a house that can be moved.

He specially selected very light materials, and it is easy to pull up with two horses.

It's going to be dark soon, and the old guys were freezing outside just now.

As soon as I got into the carriage, I immediately felt a wave of heat rushing towards my face. It was extraordinarily warm. Compared with the outside, it seemed like two different worlds.

The crowd was amazed.

They saw it at a glance, a tin bucket in the middle of the carriage.

On one side of the tin bucket, there are several iron pipes that extend to the outside of the carriage.

There is also a small copper pot on the barrel, which is steaming.

Chai Lingwu picked up the copper pot and poured hot water into the cup on the tea table.

Everyone saw that there was a burning charcoal fire in the tin bucket!

"Young Master Liu, what is this?"

Fang Xuanling asked.

The carriages are all made of wood, and sitting in them in winter will not be much warmer than outside.

Some people would put a charcoal basin in the carriage, but Fang Xuanling and the others were not young enough to stand the smoke from the charcoal fire at all.

Although there is charcoal fire in this tin bucket, there is not even a little smoke in the carriage!

Moreover, it is far warmer than a carriage with a charcoal basin.

After sitting for a while, I was sweating a little!

Liu Bai took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Zhuo Jing is not in good health, and has always been afraid of the cold. A few days ago, he always went to the county to discuss business, so Liu came up with such a way to make the carriage warmer. As for the smoke, it hurts the heart and lungs."

In fact, this is an ordinary briquette stove.

It's just that it is still difficult to mine coal, so charcoal is used instead.

But Liu Bai was right, his original intention was indeed for Liu Wan'er.

Since Shen Wansan went to Youzhou, the family business has been handed over to Liu Wan'er again, and she has to go to the county almost every day.

With this carriage, Liu Wan'er can also suffer less.

Fang Xuanling and the others also picked up their cups one after another, took a sip of tea, and secretly moved their minds.

They usually go to court before dawn, especially in winter, when it is the coldest time before dawn.

Waiting for the door to open outside the palace is really tormenting, and it would be wonderful to have this kind of carriage.

There is no need to be frozen in the cold wind, and there is ready-made hot tea to drink!

Du Ruhui, who has been in poor health, suddenly said: "Young Master Liu, I wonder if this carriage can be cut off?"

After finishing speaking, he tapped his leg and sighed: "When the old man broke Dou Jiande with His Majesty, he hurt his bones. It hurts like a needle prick in the cold weather. If he had this carriage, he might be able to do it again." Live a few more years"

He sold it badly, and the other old guys quit.

Gao Shilian coughed heavily, and said: "Keming, you are still young, but this old man is ten years older than you. When I was an official in Yizhou, I hurt my heart and lungs. Now my condition is not serious at all. better"

He coughed a few more times, and said, "Young Master Liu, why don't you give the carriage to the old man? Make the price as you like!"

A group of old guys say something, I say something, each has its own reasons, and they say what they say, as if without this carriage, they would not be able to live tomorrow.

Liu Bai looked at the old guys with a dark face.
