Chapter 2172: A big banquet
After listening to Qu Xiucai and the others, they finally felt relieved.
Gu Jinan looked at Mou Fang: "Mr. Mou, aren't you protecting Mr. Zhong? Why are you here?"
Mou Fang is a member of the Fuhu Army, but his task is to protect Mr. Zhong and he rarely returns to camp.
Mou Fang said: "The man from Qianshan County was born in a poor family, and he also had the important responsibility of hunting on behalf of the emperor. He Chengjin was a bit impulsive. Lord Zhong was worried and ordered me to accompany the man from Qianshan County for three years. When he comes back from hunting on behalf of the emperor, I can do it again." Return to Master Zhong as an errand."
After hearing this, Gu Jinan felt relieved. Zhong Huan was protecting Lu Bai by giving such a capable person to Lu Bai.
In short, Lu Bai is useful now. Zhong Huan and His Majesty will protect him and will not let him die within three years.
"I'm tired." Gu Jinli said, then went to see Lu Bai and asked him, "Do you want us to stay with you?"
Lu Bai shook his head and said with a smile: "No need...I have to go on my own in the future. You can't always stay with me."
After Gu Jinan and the others heard this, they stopped staying any longer.
But before leaving, Gu Jinan reminded him: "Your marriage is being closely watched, so you need to think about it."
Lu Bai said: "I'm thinking that if we don't get married for the time being, we should first finish the hunting tour on behalf of the emperor."
He has no one he likes, and he knows very well that after becoming a **** for Emperor Jingyuan to win over the people, he will probably not end well. He doesn't want to cause widowhood, so he simply doesn't get married.
He smiled again and said: "It's you, go back quickly to prepare gifts and go to Ouyang's house to meet the elders. If you don't go, be careful that Ouyang's family doesn't want you as their grandson-in-law."
Gu Jinan was forced to stay in the palace, which made him miss the time to visit Ouyang's house. He had to visit Ouyang's house as soon as possible while he had vacation.
Gu Jinan said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back first and come to see you tomorrow. Your Baronial Mansion is very grand. Hua Qianshan even said this morning that he would come to visit the Yamen."
Lu Bai laughed and said, "Don't just come for a stroll, just move in and live in Ducheng."
Whether Lu Bai was pretending or sincere, he looked happy now, and Gu Jinan and the others went back with peace of mind.
He looked at Ouyang Zhang and said, "Tomorrow, you can bring this calligraphy mill to the palace in the name of An Geer's father and let His Majesty see it. If His Majesty allows it, you can use this calligraphy mill to create more books." Let the books be spread throughout the Chu State more quickly and benefit the children from poorer families."
The rich and powerful families did not want the children from poor families to study, so they kept many books privately and prevented them from being exported. Even if the children of the same family wanted to read the books, they could only use copied books.
The copying is slow, and the circulation of books is also slow.
Yes. Ouyang Zhang responded.
Ouyang Hong looked at Gu Jin'an again and said: "Although the calligraphy mill is strange, it can be easily reproduced. Even if His Majesty takes a fancy to it, he will not reward your father greatly."
It means that he should not be too happy, as such things will not be of great benefit.
Gu Jinan said hurriedly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I understand."
Ouyang Hong saw that he was not disappointed and nodded with satisfaction.
After having dinner at Ouyang's house, Gu Jinan was sent back by the housekeeper of Ouyang's house.
Two days later, it was Lu Bai's knighthood banquet. The door of the baron's mansion was opened wide to welcome the congratulations from all the families in the capital.
There were really a lot of people coming to this knighthood banquet, ranging from royal family members to peddlers and servants. It could be regarded as a real fun with the people.
And this is what Emperor Jingyuan wanted.
However, there were too many people and it was a mess, and the palace was afraid of trouble. Emperor Jingyuan sent a group of imperial guards to maintain order, and even sent the chief eunuch.
With the **** here, the wealthy families and high-ranking officials knew that His Majesty wanted to protect Lu Bai, and they could not disgrace Lu Bai. Therefore, although they felt disgusted to sit at the table with the traffickers and lackeys, they were smiling the whole time. Dare to show off.
Mr. Lu County, congratulations. Its because of you that we can enter the Barons Mansion for a banquet! It was Chen Xiaoba who spoke, and they were also invited.
Lu Bai thanked them very much, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I made you suffer a torture because of me."
Chen Xiaoba waved his hand and said with a smile: "The man from County Lu is too polite to say this. Brothers help you voluntarily, and we don't help you in vain..."
He lowered his voice and said to Lu Bai: "The Ruan family has given us a thousand taels of silver, and we have become rich."Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
