Chapter 121: Two Childish Ghosts After Returning Home
Under Wan Qing's gaze, Chu Luchen quickly stuffed the plum blossom cake into his mouth.
Suddenly he looked at Wan Qing with a blank look on his face and said vaguely, "It tastes pretty good."
"If it tastes good, just eat it. Why show such an expression?" Wan Qing sighed inwardly that it was not fun. She picked up her chopsticks and ate her food peacefully. When Chu Luchen still wanted to speak, she gestured with her eyes to eat.
After the meal, Chu Luchen left Wan Qing behind, "Wan Qing, from now on you can just call me Lu Chen in private. There is no need to call the second prince, it sounds awkward."
"Yes, the second prince." Listening to the three words Wan Qing squeezed out from between his teeth, Chu Luchen couldn't help but frown, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Yes, I'm not happy. You didn't react to the bad ones, and you didn't react to the delicious ones either." Wan Qing silently took the plum blossom cake from the plate and ate it herself.
Chu Luchen smiled slightly, Wan Qing's childishness really couldn't be taken back once it was exposed.
He stretched out his hand and scratched her nose lovingly, but he couldn't bear to discuss going to the border with her in a too serious tone, so he spoke in a normal tone, "Wan Qing, I'm going to the border in a few days.
I also want you and Jiang Zizhen to go together."
"Borderland?" Wan Qing's hand holding the plum blossom cake paused slightly, her childishness seemed to be gone in an instant, and the seriousness in her eyebrows made Chu Luchen feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'm definitely willing to accompany you when you go to the border. But I have to take a few people with me." Wan Qing put the plum blossom cake down and clapped her hands to brush away some of the debris.
Let's go to the border, let alone whether we can come back safely. The turmoil, epidemic and political strife alone are enough to extend this time indefinitely.
If you don't make enough preparations, it will be bad.
Ji Yufan and Su Ling must be brought with them. They are not afraid of minor ailments and will be of great use in this epidemic.
Jiang Zizhen will definitely not be able to pull her down. The sour plum soup and the head stuffed there may have some magical effect.
As for Qin Yi...if she agrees, she wants to take him with her. Their current information stays within the imperial capital and has not spread outside.
The changes in the frontier are crucial, so she wants to allocate some people to stay in the frontier and let them come back when they are mature.
The rest can wait and see.
By the way, I wonder if Chu Luchen wants to bring Captain Chi Xun with him. If he does, he and Jiang Zizhen can occasionally have troubles and relieve everyone's fatigue.
"Yu Chixun? I will definitely bring that little bastard with me. Otherwise, this journey will be extremely boring." Chu Luchen smiled and sipped the tea cup. Don't look at Yuchixun's careless look. Although his martial arts skills were barely adequate, he had so many thoughts in his mind.
Bai Xiaosheng knew a lot of strange news, so he was well prepared.
After the two finalized some details, they stopped talking again and had no choice but to drink tea and look at the ground.
"That... plum blossom cake actually tastes pretty good." Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Chu Luchen couldn't think of anything else to say, so he spoke uneasily.
Wan Qing nodded as if he had heard it, and then did not answer. He seemed to be thinking about something, paused for a moment and said, "Second Prince, I think you need to bring the person who was able to check the secret accounts last time."
.”
"Ah, you mean Pei Yuncheng? I will definitely bring this person with me. It is safest to leave this audit matter to him. Don't forget that our trip is to investigate this strange account in one fell swoop." Regarding the audit matter, he is very important.
He was confident, and his only worry was how to solve it after finding out.
It is definitely not a wise move to end everything in one pot. Sending away one moth will definitely attract new moths.
Grasping the small and magnifying it? That is even more impossible. This is tantamount to playing tricks on the tiger.
So he will definitely send the older ones to prison, and keep the younger ones... if they can be used for his own use, and if they can't, let them go in together.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Chu Luchen and Wan Qing fell into silence again.
"Then, I'll go back first. Let's go look for Jiang Zizhen tomorrow." Since she really had nothing to say, Wan Qing put down the tea cup, but it was rare to sit down and talk to Wan Qing, and Chu Luchen was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
"Wait a minute, has Wan Qing been studying calligraphy recently?"
"Recently, I don't want to learn regular script anymore. So I started using small regular script with hairpin flowers again. What's wrong?" Wan Qing looked at Chu Luchen intently, as if she was a little puzzled by his sudden mention of this matter.
Chu Luchen had actually known for a long time that Wan Qing no longer used regular script. After she left Zuofu, she rarely practiced calligraphy. However, Wan Qing's temperament was very good for practicing calligraphy, so it would be inappropriate to give up like this. So.
While feeling regretful, Chu Luchen also had the urge to teach her, "You don't want to learn Mr. Zuo's regular script, but would you like to learn my regular script?"
"Your regular script? There are so many different kinds of regular script?" Wan Qing paused and seemed to be interested. After all, she only had a casual liking for calligraphy, but she was not as obsessed with the piano art. After hearing this
The regular script is divided into different parts, so I couldn't help but look curious.
"This regular script is naturally divided into people. Mr. Zuo's regular script is upright and has no twists and turns. It can only be said to be regular. But my regular script is more grand than his." Chu Luchen said proudly, attracting Wan Qing.
He chuckled, how could he be so boastful about selling melons?
Chu Luchen was not upset and ordered Jiuying to get pen and ink and splash ink in front of Wan Qing's face.
Wan Qing watched silently, but couldn't see clearly at the table, so she quietly moved to Chu Luchen's side.
Chu Luchen's calligraphy is indeed more elegant than Zuo Jian's. Unfortunately, it lacks some polish due to insufficient experience, but you can already see the feeling of freedom and ease.
"How is it? You can see the difference." Regarding calligraphy, Chu Luchen thought that he did not belong to Zuo Jian. Seeing Wan Qing shaking his head, he was also a little unhappy.
"Don't be upset yet. Listen to me, you are still young now, how can you compare with the writing of Zuo Jian who has been experienced for a long time. However, I still prefer your regular script." After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chu Luchen still said
If you want to argue, you will immediately feel happy after hearing the second half of the sentence.
"Then you are willing to learn this regular script with me?" Looking at Chu Luchen's eagerness to try, Wan Qing couldn't help but laugh. How could he be so close to a weakling? He looked aloof outside, but in this mansion he was
Like a kid begging for candy?
However, in Chu Luchen's eyes, Wan Qing seemed to be like this. She looked very calm and organized on the outside, but once she entered the house, she was tormenting people, making fun and laughing all the time.
It was just that they disliked each other, but Jiuying and Ba Geer had already dragged these two people who turned into childish ghosts as soon as they returned home from the high altar.
However, the two of them are quite compatible. It would be great if they could grow old together like this.
