Chapter 16 The Gift
"What kind of thing is this?"
"I heard it was from the south. The craftsman of a Zhou surnamed Xuanzhou used steel wire made in Hanyang. Look, here is it."
The chattering girls were commenting around a "piano". There were always musical art teams in traditional banquets. If there were no actors, musicians would be placed on the side to play music.
It is just because of the system that the scale is generally controlled within a certain range, and some musical instruments cannot enter folk occasions.
Therefore, when the Xuanzhou "piano" was released, this instrument with unique sensuality and suitable for banquet venues was immediately welcomed by large, medium and small nobles and merchants and restaurants.
Official or super powerful banquet venues are still areas that people cannot reach and touch.
For ordinary people, Xuanzhou's "piano" may be sky-high, but for ordinary nobles, this price is really "people-friendly", at least much cheaper than playing "Yamu".
It’s just that the masters who type keyboards are too difficult to find.
"Who tuned this is really interesting."
"I heard that there are many people who are good at math in Xuanzhou."
"No matter how many there are, can you still be more than Wuhan? Everyone in Wuhan learns arithmetic."
"Who did you hear?"
"It's all like this. My sister is in Wuhan all year round. She said that it's really amazing to force Xiaolang to study in Wuhan."
There was another chatter. After the novelty was played with by a group of girls, the sound of the dingdong dingdong finally calmed down.
At this time, Zheng Xuanyi pulled Zheng's people to talk about something. Liu Shi nodded frequently. Soon, a middle-aged man looked for a woman in the side hall, probably his wife. He whispered, and the woman nodded slightly, then looked at a girl surrounded by someone with inconspicuous eyes.
"Bing Niang, come with Wei Niang."
"My mother, but what's wrong?"
"There is something to tell you."
As he said that, a group of girls widened their eyes and watched the Sixteenth Lady leave with curiosity.
When he arrived in a corner, the woman said to the sixteenth lady: "Your elder sister wants to take care of two children in Wuhan. You have kissed her since you were a child. In a few days, you can visit her in Wuhan."
The sixteenth lady was stunned. Seeing her mother's meaningful eyes, she was stunned: "Then... will I... come back in the future?"
Seeing that his daughter was so smart, the woman was very happy and stroked her cheek with a smile: "If you are happy with the appearance of Wuhan, it's okay to stay there."
After hearing what her mother said, the sixteenth lady almost cried, but the family's years of training and training allowed her to quickly control her emotions.
"My mom has anything else to tell me to give?"
"Miss Xue is delicious. There is Jiaqingzi in Jiaqingfang, which is the best in Henan. When you go, bring some fruit seedlings. When you arrive in Wuhan, remember to say that it was given to Mrs. Xue."
"Yeah, I've written it down."
In the hall, Zheng Xuanyi said to Liu Shi repeatedly: "Brother Liu, there is a lot of work for His Highness King Jin."
"It's okay, nothing wrong, a small matter."
This matter was a matter of the two sides hit it off and had their own needs. For Liu Shi, he won two birds with one stone, which not only made the niece of Princess Jin, reliable, but also went to Wuhan to pay a visit. If he could get to Hubei and Jiangxi's Education Department, it would definitely be worth the trip.
The local leaders can only say that there is hope, and Liu Shi is also forced to do this. The competition for the Director of the Jiangxi Provincial Education Bureau is absolutely fierce.
In addition to the central airborne, there are also local officials like Yan Shigu, the "monster". If they really fight, the name of the Liu clan in Hedong is really not enough.
However, Liu Shi had several plans, and he was not afraid of "jointly" with the Zheng family in Xingyang.
In the lively scene, the kitchen had already sent someone to report whether it was time to serve the dishes. So the "host" Liu Shi nodded and gave a brief order. Even if the banquet started, the slightly noisy banquet finally began with the sound of the "piano" in Xuanzhou.
A few days later, some news spread in the capital that the Zheng family, who originally wanted to marry King Li Zhi of Jin, had stopped. Originally, the emperor was still optimistic about this matter, but he did not intervene and neither opposed nor supported it.
Nowadays, we will definitely spare no effort to win over the pillars of the country. As for the minions, hawks and dogs, one emperor and another minister, God knows what will happen to the next generation. Director Li is not concerned about it, and it is purely due to interests.
King Li Zhi of Jin said that disappointment was a bit a bit, but he had not had a single horoscope yet, so it would be meaningless to care about these things.
Wuhan, thousands of miles away, was a bit lively. Wu Er's wife shook the portrait in her hand and looked at Zhang De and sneered: "What a Zheng family in Xingyang, this 'bingniang'...I don't like it."
"Why don't you like it?"
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you don't like it for no reason, there are so many reasons."
"'Bing Niang' is called 'Ying'. You have seen it since childhood."
"I've seen it?"
Old Zhang looked strange, "When did I see it?"
"You have not only seen her, but you also hugged her when she was a child."
“…”
Mrs. Zheng's words were heartbreaking, which made Lao Zhang feel like he had nowhere to complain.
When you were a child, I hugged you, and when you grow up... I'll marry you?
It must be a bit bad to say that marriage is a bit bad, but the nature is similar.
"What is Liu Xian's idea? Why are he hooking up with Zheng again?"
"Don't change the subject!"
Wu Meiniang held the baby in one hand and shook the portrait with the other hand, "Now even the capital knows your hobbies. Zhang Caozhi, you are so thick-skinned!"
“…”
The pot came from the sky, and Lao Zhang wanted to refuse, but the Zheng family in Xingyang was really skillful in this way. He said that he wanted Zheng Ying to accompany his lonely and lonely sister Zheng Wan, so he came to Wuhan.
It's smart.
Not only is it easy to advance and retreat, but it is also very flexible.
The most critical issue is that Zhang De cannot get married now, and the competition for status does not exist.
Even if Li Dongxi is absurd and Lao Zhang can stop flying boats, for the sake of the Lord of Longqing Palace, he will not be able to get married with a woman.
Reality is so nonsense, there are only a few foolish people with His Royal Highness and are still doing well.
"This Liu Xian is from a famous family. I am afraid that he will not be able to attract him. Could it be that he has set his sights on some seat?"
"What can Wuhan have...well?"
Cui Jue also glanced at Zheng Ying's portrait, which was a little fat, round and smooth, and her breasts were quite large. It can be said that Zheng's family has a lot of background... Especially Zheng Wan, a giant, is in front of him.
After hearing Cui Jue's analysis, Lao Zhang immediately pondered: "Did you have set your sight on the position of Director of Education?"
"He is afraid he won't get the position of Jiangxi Education Bureau, so Yan Shigu had already visited Fangxiu."
The governor of Xuanzhou serves as the director of the Jiangxi Education Department, without any problem. Moreover, Yan Shigu's family education and status in the martial arts world are not comparable to that of Liu Shi, a "backward" who is like Liu Shi.
The most important thing is that Fang Xuanling will definitely be in a lie.
Among the important officials who are still active in the Zhenguan Dynasty, Fang Xuanling's voice is the best. Ma Zhou, Changsun Wuji and others are all behind. Jiangxi's performance is really too fruitful. The development of Pengli Lake directly creates a "land of fish and rice". According to the increase in the number of cultivated land in Jiangxi, at most one or two generations, I dare not say that I have caught up with Jiangdong, but it is not that there is a huge gap with Jiangdong, one in the sky and one in the underground.
"Is it Hubei?"
Old Zhang frowned slightly, "Hubei Education Bureau is not as easy as Jiangxi's competition."
"Since you have prepared this gift, you might as well ask yourself, who is surnamed Liu, what you think before you talk about it."
“Okay.”
Although Wu Er Niang was sarcastic, she was indeed reasonable. .m.
