0027 Sudden joy
"Prince, I am ignorant, I don't know what the Prime Minister calls me to come down." Xia Bolong replied immediately.
Cai Jing laughed: "Do you understand calligraphy?"
Xia Bolong glanced at Cai Jing's motto treasure that had just been formed on the desk, then nodded, and said softly: "I understand a little bit."
"Haha, since that's the case, then tell me, how do I write my handwriting?" Cai Jing asked.
Xia Bolong took a closer look at Cai Jing's calligraphy and saw that his calligraphy was vigorous, free and easy, stretched and elegant, stretched and relaxed, and extremely pleasing to see.
"Haha, Prime Minister, I'm sorry. Judging from this ink treasure, the words are strict but not restrictive, and they are not out of rules. The regular writing is like a master Guanjian, and they are discussed above the temple; the running writing is like a noble young master, with a brilliant spirit and a brilliant radiance. Such ink treasures are rare in the world." Xia Bolong kept praising.
Cai Jing laughed loudly and said loudly: "Bolong, you really have a pair of wise eyes. These days, I have seen that you understand poetry, songs, calligraphy and calligraphy. I think you are a talented person. Has your injury healed?"
"Reply to the prime minister, my injuries have healed." Xia Bolong said.
Cai Jing nodded slightly, rubbed his beard, and said with satisfaction: "Okay. Bolong, since you have such a great talent, have you ever wanted to be an official?"
"Be an official? I'm not hiding it from the prime minister. I've thought about it, but I just missed the opportunity." Xia Bolong said.
Cai Jing said: "Well, since you have this idea, you can do it. Let's do it. I'm going to find you an errand. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Article? What is the errand?" Xia Bolong asked.
Cai Jing laughed and said, "Well, I didn't make the decision. It depends on what official position the emperor wants to give you."
"Emperor? Prime Minister, are you talking about the Emperor?" Xia Bolong said in surprise.
Cai Jing nodded and said lightly: "Don't panic. I think you are talented and are going to introduce you to the emperor. A man, you must have some fame, otherwise, how can you feel assured to let me entrust Xinrui to you?"
After hearing this, Xia Bolong asked hurriedly: "Prince, are you saying to betrothing Xinrui to me?"
Cai Jing said softly, "I have already found out in the capital. You don't seem to have any family members in the capital. Seeing you dressed like this, it seems that you really came from the Western Regions. Xinrui's whole mind is on you. Why can't I, a father, tell me the truth, do you like Xinrui?"
"I like it, of course I like it." Xia Bolong replied casually.
"That's good, just like it. Since you two like each other, that's fine. But Xinrui is my favorite daughter, and I can't just give her to you like this. So, you must have a fame and fortune. I will introduce you to the emperor. With your talent, you can do a job with the emperor. As long as you have good eyes and clever minds, this fame will come soon. You can go back and prepare first. I will take you into the palace when the emperor has time these days, and I will bring you into the palace and recommend it to the emperor." Cai Jinglang said straight.
After hearing this, Xia Bolong couldn't help but feel happy, but his face remained the same. He bowed to Cai Jing and said loudly: "Prince, I'm leaving!"
Cai Jing said "um" and waved to Xia Bolong, and Xia Bolong left Cai Jing's study.
After Xia Bolong withdrew from the study room, he returned to his residence and thought to himself: "It seems that Cai Jing is still good? Not only do he betrothed her daughter, he also wants to introduce me to the emperor. Haha, I am so lucky."
Xia Bolong took two steps forward and immediately stopped, thinking: "No, if I marry Cai Jing's daughter, then I will be Cai Jing's son-in-law? Then... Then I am not the son-in-law of a treacherous minister?... Let's just ask, I am not the son-in-law of a treacherous minister, as long as I am not a treacherous minister. Isn't Cai Jing going to introduce me to the emperor? As long as I coax the emperor to comfortably, I will be a celebrity around the emperor in the future. If the emperor supports me, am I still afraid of Cai Jing? Well... I just want to marry Cai Xinrui, I care whether his father is a treacherous minister. Anyway, he is not my father."
Xia Bolong thought while walking, and unknowingly arrived at his room.
In the room, Cai Xinrui and Xiaohe were waiting there anxiously.
Cai Xinrui saw Xia Bolong showing her figure, hurriedly went up to meet her and asked, "Bolong, is there anything wrong with my father calling you?"
Xia Bolong pretended to be pitiful, sighed softly, and said, "Hey! Prime Minister..."
Cai Xinrui saw the expression on Xia Bolong's face and asked hurriedly: "Does my father want to drive you out of Cai's Mansion? No! I have to go find him!"
Seeing Cai Xinrui turn around and leave, Xia Bolong hurriedly stopped Cai Xinrui and said with a smile: "Xinrui, don't go. The prime minister is not trying to drive me out of the mansion, but to introduce me to the emperor."
"Recommend to the Emperor? Really?" Cai Xinrui was quite happy when she heard this.
Xia Bolong said: "Well, it's true, and..."
"And what?" Cai Xinrui asked.
"And the prime minister wants to betroth you to me!" Xia Bolong said happily.
Cai Xinrui's face turned red and she asked, "Are you all saying true? Do my father really want to give me...benefit...to you?"
Xia Bolong nodded heavily and said, "Of course it's true. What? Don't you want to? Well, then I'll go to the prime minister now and shirk this marriage!"
"No! No! Who said I don't want it anymore? I do, I do." Cai Xinrui said.
"Hehe, as long as you are willing, as long as you are willing." Xia Bolong smiled.
Cai Xinrui asked, "Then did my father say when..."
Xia Bolong said: "Haha, can't wait for my kind heart??"
"You can't wait in a hurry, I'll just ask casually." Cai Xinrui said.
Xia Bolong talked softly and said, "It's this matter that is annoying. Your father insists that I have fame and fortune before begging me. So, wait for a while."
"Since my father has introduced you to the emperor, it means he values you very much and is optimistic about your talent. So, I believe that it won't take long to get a good reputation." Cai Xinrui said.
Xia Bolong laughed loudly: "I hope so."
——————————
The next day, Xia Bolong was still sleeping soundly in the room, and heard Cai Fu's voice outside the door.
"Young Master Xia! Youth Master Xia!"
Xia Bolong was woken up by Cai Fu's voice. Although he was a little reluctant, Cai Fu was a celebrity in front of Cai Jing after all. He was ordered to rescue him twice, so he put on his clothes.
Xia Bolong opened the door and saw Cai Fu's red face, changing all his outfits from head to toe, and his clothes were very bright, he joked: "Butler Cai, are you planning a blind date? You are actually wearing such a handsome dress?"
Cai Fu smiled and said, "What did Mr. Xia say? I'm so old, how could I go on a blind date? I'm so proud of my master's Hongfu, so I have this outfit. By the way, Mr. Xia, Master, please tell me to go there quickly."
"Where did you go?" Xia Bolong asked.
Cai Fu said: "The master is waiting for you in the study and said he would recommend someone to know you."
Xia Bolong said: "Well, okay, I'll go with you now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Bolong went out with Cai Fu, passed through most of the Cai Mansion, and then arrived at Cai Jing's study.
Before entering the study room, Cai Fu shouted outside the door: "Master, Mr. Xia is here."
"You all come in!" Cai Jing's voice came from the study.
"Prince Xia, please!" Cai Fu smiled and said respectfully.
Xia Bolong stepped into Cai Jing's study and cursed in his heart: "This Cai Jing doesn't have someone to have a good rest early in the morning. It's okay if you get up so early, but you actually pulled me up too."
After entering the study, Xia Bolong and Cai Fu came to the inside of the study together and saw Cai Jing sitting on the Grand Master's chair, with a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes sitting beside him.
Cai Fudang walked over first and bowed to Cai Jing and the middle-aged man: "Master! Grand Marshal!"
Cai Jing waved his hand, and Cai Fu walked over and stood beside Cai Jing.
Xia Bolong also imitated Cai Fu's appearance and bowed: "Prince! Grandmaster!"
Cai Jing said: "No gift! Sit!"
Xia Bolong immediately sat down and his eyes looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was about forties, strong, dark skin, average appearance, and a small beard on the corner of his mouth.
The middle-aged man looked at Xia Bolong and said to Cai Jing: "Taoshi, are you talking about this young master?"
"Yes. His name is Xia Bolong, and he knows all the poems, songs and essays. There should be no problem with being a job by the emperor." Cai Jing said.
"Well, that's the best." said the middle-aged man.
Cai Jing said to Cai Fu beside him: "There is no longer your business here. Go to the kitchen to give instructions and make some buns."
Cai Fu bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
Cai Fu kept getting up and walked out.
"Come back!" Cai Jing shouted.
Cai Fu had just taken two steps before stopping, turned around and asked, "Master, what else do you have to give?"
"Where did your outfit come from? Is it so glamorous, can you get rich?" Cai Jing looked at Cai Fu's whole body and asked.
Cai Fu replied with joy: "Hongfu, the master, is really rich. This is what I bought yesterday when I sold the fan that the master wrote poems."
"Your brother, the dog slave, actually sold the fan I wrote about. I ask you, how much did you sell?" Cai Jing asked.
Cai Fu replied: "Master, I sold it for 20,000 yuan."
"Oh? Who bought it?" Cai Jing asked hurriedly.
Cai Fu immediately said, "It's a handsome young man. When he saw the master's name, he directly offered 20,000 yuan and bought the fan."
"If I sell less, I should sell it for 30,000 yuan! If I sell it again in the future, I have to negotiate the price. Do you know? Okay, you can go down." Cai Jing shook his head and said lightly.
Cai Fu quitously and left the study room.
Xia Bolong was a little surprised when he heard that Cai Fu sold the fan yesterday for 20,000 yuan: "I thought the calligraphy of these literati would be so valuable only in future generations, but I didn't expect that it would be so valuable now. Haha, when I came back, I asked Cai Jing to write seven or eight poems for me and sell them, so why don't I make any profit?"
"Bolong, I will recommend you. This is Gao Qiu, the commander of the Palace Commander's Mansion, Taiwei Gao. Come and meet him." Cai Jing said lightly.
