But when he thought of the horse, he immediately grinned: "Good!!"

Su Changan smiled and said nothing.

Just started thinking about rouge.

There's so much to do.

But the most important thing at the moment is about rouge.

In addition, we need to make something delicious to drink and send it to the empress in the palace.

There are chrysanthemums.

Lemons maybe?

Besides, the weather is getting colder. How about getting some hot pot base or something and sending it in for her?

Go back and take a look at the materials for making rouge.

Chapter 55 Please Miss Changan save me!!

When they returned to the gate of the Su Mansion, Su Changan and the others saw Su Zifeng seeing off an official.

When the official saw Su Changan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After Su Zifeng's brief introduction, the man immediately bowed slightly to Su Changan and then left.

Su Zhaoxin watched the outsiders leave and ran directly towards his own yard like the wind.

Su Zifeng asked what was wrong.

Su Zhaoxin also left two words "copying books" and ran away without looking back.

This made Su Zifeng look at Su Changan in surprise. He felt that the sun was rising from the west. This brat Zhao Xin was actually going to copy a book!

Su Changan glanced at the person who left, although he did not show any curiosity.

But Su Zifeng on the side explained: "Although I can't really be considered as an official, I still have the position of Xielülang. Even if it's a sinecure, sometimes I still need to do something. Lord Luo is my superior and he wants me to do something. But let's not talk about this. What did you say to Zhao Xin? He can't even copy a book if he's forced to."

Su Changan nodded and said, "I promised him something, but the condition was to copy the book."

After Su Zifeng thought for a moment, he asked, "That horse?"

Su Changan nodded.

Su Zifeng smiled helplessly: "It's just you. If it were anyone else, no one would be willing to spend that much money on him."

After that, Su Zifeng said with relief: "But this is also his advantage. He finds ways to get what he wants. After all, he has a good heart and knows not to use our family to pressure or forcibly take it away."

But after saying that, Su Zifeng looked at Su Changan and lowered his voice and said, "The old man already knows that you are going back, and those people in the capital who know about your affairs have probably heard about it under the arrangement of His Majesty. But the old man said that you should stay comfortably and go back in glory. You can do whatever you like and don't need to have any burden on your shoulders. Your Majesty is in the palace and we are outside. Besides, Li Jiulang is grateful to you for saving Li Xingyue and will not let anything happen to you. He values ​​gratitude the most."

Su Changan nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to Grandpa and Uncle San."

When Su Zifeng heard the call of "Third Uncle", he felt much brighter and immediately said with a smile: "Just call me Third Uncle. I paid for the horse for that brat, but don't tell him. Let him copy the book first."

Su Changan immediately smiled and said, "I promised him, so I'll buy it anyway."

Su Zifeng immediately frowned when he heard this: "I am so sad that you are so distant."

Su Changan smiled helplessly: "After all, it was my promise to him, but I heard that the horse was injured. How about Third Uncle, for my sake, can you pay for the treatment and the stable?"

Su Zifeng heard this and immediately said with a smile: "Okay. Hey! I feel so comfortable when you call me Third Uncle."

But after he finished speaking, Su Zifeng seemed to have remembered something and immediately said, "I almost forgot. Come with me first. Xun Kuang brought a student with him and has been waiting for you for a long time. He said it was about the latest issue of the publishing house, but he didn't tell me much. I didn't bother to say much to that person either. He was too venomous, so I didn't ask much. But I think there are no good manuscripts, so I thought I would ask you for some poems and articles."

Upon hearing this, Su Changan didn't think there was anything wrong with writing an article to Xun Kuang and the others.

But I feel like this matter is coming up so quickly.

But after thinking about it briefly, he still had to do something that could not be left out, so he said, "Third Uncle, I saw some flowers growing in the greenhouse in our house. Can I use some?"

Su Zifeng was stunned. Although he was curious, he did not ask. He just said, "You can use them as you like. All the flowers are yours."

Su Zifeng paused for a moment, but then he changed his mind and said, "It was your mother and your third aunt who made it. Although your third aunt has only met you once, she has always wanted to thank you for the food you sent, especially the rabbit head. She likes it very much. After all, she came from Sichuan and likes spicy food. She has also been thinking about giving you something, and has been thinking about it until now, after all, you don't lack anything. Although the greenhouse workers have taken good care of the flowers, it's getting cold after all. I'll tell your third aunt and your mother later, and you can take whatever you want. If you don't have to bother, I'll find a way for them."

hear the words

Su Changan naturally said: "It's not much, but if it fails, the amount may be a little more."

Su Zifeng waved his hand: "Use whatever you want. If you want to use dried flowers, there are some over there."

Upon hearing this, Su Changan immediately said, "That's great."

However, Su Zifeng looked at Su Changan curiously, wondering what new things he was going to do. But after thinking about it, he decided not to ask. After all, what new things could he do with a flower? It would only be some small things.

Su Changan thought about it, maybe he would have to discuss things with Xun Kuang and the others later, and he didn't know when it would end.

So Su Changan looked at Su Zifeng and said, "Uncle San, could you please ask someone to get me some citrons and some mushroom ingredients? In addition, the kitchen also needs some butter, various peppers, and other dried peppers. I may also need more oil. I don't have a lot of these things in my small kitchen."

Su Zifeng was stunned for a moment and then said, "These things are common and easy to get. Are you going to make food again?"

Su Changan nodded: "Originally I should have found it myself, but these things take some time to make. Thinking that Xun Siye is coming, I don't know when it will be finished, so I have to trouble Uncle San to help prepare it, which can save some time."

Su Zifeng immediately said: "Don't be so polite with me, just tell me directly, and they are all ordinary things, simple! You are busy with your work, I will help you find it."

Su Changan thanked him immediately.

Su Zifeng was naturally unhappy again. He called him Third Uncle. If he continued to be so polite, he would be really sad.

Su Changan was speechless for a while.

But when the two of them arrived outside the Meiyuan Courtyard.

From a distance, I could see Xun Kuang squatting beside the bluestone road. He was very casual, leaning against the wall, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun. He didn't care at all whether his white clothes would get dirty. He was sloppy and had none of the spotless spirit that a scholar should have.

On the contrary, the young man next to him, whose clothes did not seem to be from any noble family, was dressed very cleanly. He stood respectfully to one side, but his body was straight and upright, as upright as a pen.

Su Zifeng introduced himself to Su Changan.

The young man's name was Yan Shu. He came from a poor family, was one of the most respected students of Mr. Yao, had extraordinary knowledge, and had been invited to the Early Winter Poetry Festival.

Originally, at that poetry competition, many people believed that he was one of the people most likely to win the championship, but he was overshadowed by Su Changan's poem "Spring Night".

Su Changan did remember Yan Shu, after all, Master Yao had specifically mentioned him, and later when many people gathered around him to talk.

This person just sat at his desk, not arguing with anyone, nor discussing anything with anyone, just looking at the paper in front of him and thinking.

And just looking at it from a distance, this Yan Shu has the gentle and refined air of a scholar.

Xun Kuang squinted his eyes to bask in the sun, so naturally he didn't notice Su Changan and the others at first.

On the contrary, Yan Shu saw it at first sight and immediately told Xun Kuang.

Xun Kuang immediately looked over, and when he saw Su Changan and Su Zifeng really coming, he hurriedly stood up and trotted towards Su Changan.

As soon as he approached, Xun Kuang immediately bowed and saluted: "Miss Chang'an, you have to save me this time."

Then, he looked at Su Changan with sincerity in his eyes.

Chapter 56: Write about snow, not just snow

Yan Shu also came over at this time and saluted Su Zifeng and Su Changan.

Su Changan first returned the greeting, then looked at Xun Kuang and asked, "What does this mean, Master Siye?"

Xun Kuang immediately shook his head helplessly and said, "Ever since you published that entire issue of poetry, our [Panshe] has been criticized, and many people have pointed fingers at us, saying that these issues are all mediocre articles and poems. But we are innocent, it's really because your issue was too amazing. Now even our Lord Jijiu, looking at those articles and poems that he would have approved in the past, now shakes his head when he looks at them."

"Moreover, the Lord Jijiu has also said that if the quality of the poems is not improved this time, I, the person in charge of the publishing house, will be punished. At least it will be several dozen taels of silver. So, please save me, Miss Chang'an."

Speaking of here

Xun Kuang bowed deeply to Su Changan again.

The same was true for Yan Shu.

Seeing this, Su Zifeng also started to curse: "Xun Banke, you told me not to say these nonsense and talk to my niece properly?!"

Xun Kuang raised his eyes slightly and looked at Su Zifeng: "Just treat it as me farting to you. Now that Miss Changan is here, I can't fart anymore."

Hearing this, Su Zifeng rolled his eyes.

But just speak.

Su Changan on the side said: "Xun Siye, get up quickly. I can't accept such a gift from you. I will just help you."

After all, it was just writing a poem or something, so Su Changan would definitely help.

Hearing this, Xun Kuang immediately said loudly: "Thank you Miss Chang'an for saving me."

As he spoke, he bowed again.

Then he stood up and looked at Su Zifeng and scolded: "What is the demeanor of a scholar? Look at Miss Chang'an, she agreed immediately. You are not like you who hesitates and refuses to treat me to a meal even though you have a lot of money."

Can this be related? ?

Su Zifeng wanted to retort, but he thought he couldn't win the argument, so he gave up and just looked at Su Changan and said, "I'll ask someone to prepare the things you want. I won't bring the flowers in the greenhouse for you, because I'm afraid they'll catch a cold and affect what you do. But you can bring out the dried flowers, and I'll bring them over as well."

Su Changan nodded immediately: "Okay."

Su Zifeng looked at Xun Kuang and was about to explain something, but after thinking for a moment, he turned around and left without even bothering to say a word to Xun Kuang.

What do you mean I don’t invite you to dinner? Who is the one who eats for free in my restaurant all day long?

Xun Kuang looked at Su Zifeng's back and shook his head: "How petty! He's not happy after I said a few words to him."

Su Changan shook his head helplessly.

However, Xun Kuang also made way for him. After looking at Yan Shu, he said to Su Changan, "Miss Changan should have seen this student. He also went to the early winter poetry gathering that day, but he was not very successful and did not even produce any poems. He brought it here today because he is the editor in charge of the publication office, so I brought it here as well. I hope Miss Changan will forgive me."

Su Changan smiled and said, "Why is Xun Siye becoming more and more polite?"

Xun Kuang chuckled, "If I were alone, I would definitely not do this, but this kid is dull. If I don't go through the process like this, believe it or not, when we get to the gate later, he won't even dare to go in."
