There is no doubt that the protection Danyang mentioned was not just to ensure that Tian Zhuo would be protected from accountability and beatings by his old club after he disappeared for no reason.
In the eyes of Xu Qing and Tian Zhuo, it was a threat to them. If she didn't like it, she would take action and ruin Tian Zhuo's current place of settlement!
Regardless of the identity of Princess Danyang, just using money to buy a maid in a wine shop, as long as the price is right, it is a matter of no effort.
In particular, Tian Zhuo was originally an orphan, and buying a dozen or twenty silver melon seeds from the dilapidated City God's Temple on the outskirts of Dongcheng was not much for him.
So as long as a servant comes to the door with money, will the wine shop feel that the money is too hot to force Tian Zhuo to stay?
When Princess Danyang really buys Tian Zhuo, it will be difficult to get off the tiger and there will be no way out.
Xu Qingyuan just wanted to let Princess Danyang release Tian Zhuo first, and did not want trouble to get involved with this poor child.
But under the current circumstances, how could he dare to mention it again?
Staring at Princess Danyang with a depressed look, Xu Qing simply refused to send Tian Zhuo away.
He clasped his hands in front of his chest and said straight to the point while breaking the jar:
"Tell me, what do you want from me, girl?"
Zizhu happened to come in a hurry at this moment, stepping in and out of the door to pay his respects to Princess Danyang.
When she heard this, her eyes immediately stood up and she scolded Xu Qing sharply:
"How dare you talk to the princess like this!"
Xu Qing glanced at the little maid with her hands on her hips at the door, and said with a smile:
"Haha, what's so daring about this? My apprentice and I are almost dead, how can we care about etiquette?"
During the verbal exchange between the two, Xu Qing's naturally casual and slightly scornful tone made Tian Zhuo stunned again.
In his memory, Mr. Tian has always been polite to beggars, friendly to good scholars, gentle and gentle to rough guys, and only looked coldly in the face of powerful people. He looked thin but could not be shaken by the wise man.
But now, the Mr. Tian in front of him seemed strange to the young man, as if he was facing a stranger he had never seen before.
Listening to the girl's words, it seems that she calls Mr. Tian, "Master Xu"?
What on earth is going on?
Xu Qing could feel the confusion, resistance, and even fear of the people around him that the person involved was unaware of. But he didn't explain anything to the young man. He just sighed and then raised his hand to rub the back of the young man's head.
After that, he got up and tried again, specifically addressing Princess Danyang, and said:
"The rest is between you and me, so there's no need to involve others."
The implication is that he is begging Princess Danyang to let this young man go and give him his freedom.
Danyang shook his head and said with a smile:
"I guess Master Xu plans to fight me to the death after sending his apprentice away, right?"
As expected, every teacher must have his disciples, and this all-or-nothing approach really comes from the same line.
But she also understood deep down in her heart that in order to protect each other from the current predicament and her "magic clutches", this was the most effective method imaginable for the two masters and apprentices who were so poor that they could only live.
Danyang sighed secretly in his heart, but there was nothing strange about his face. He even kept a faint smile. When the other person's face became increasingly ugly, he continued the previous sentence and said slowly:
"At the moment, Master Xu, it's better to stay calm. It's better to leave the princess's mansion, or to stay. How about you, listen to what I say and then think about it?"
Xu Qing snorted, got up and sat down on the official hat chair behind the Eight Immortals table. Although he didn't say a word the whole time, it was obvious that he was sulking.
Princess Danyang did not care about the other party. She was filled with anger because Tian Zhuo exposed her thoughts in front of him or because she was not agreed to the proposal.
After smiling, he pretended not to have seen anything and continued his words:
"Master Xu has outstanding painting skills, and his painting reputation is even more famous. But few people know that the book "Political Commentary" that was once popular in Kyushu in the early years was also written by Mr. Xu. That article can be said to be the number one hero in my heart. Wen. Therefore, saying that sir is my distinguished guest is not polite."
Of course, Xu Qing’s name has never been corrected, so it has something to do with this article.
And this was something she heard personally from Emperor Xuande in her previous life, and she still remembers it until now.
The main reason is that at that time, this weirdo who made huge waves almost in one day was not only quickly imprisoned by her wise uncle, but was also pushed out of Meridian Gate Lingchi in just a few days.
But at the time of execution, she happened to enter the palace and saw her uncle walking in the imperial garden in a daze.
It was at that time that she heard with her own ears that Emperor Xuande spoke with melancholy and regret about the life of the "prisoner" who was undergoing capital punishment that day. She was so frightened by the pain of capital punishment that Emperor Xuande described at the end that she could not sleep well for several days. .
Along with this, Xu Qing was also deeply imprinted in her mind.
And her last comment was the voice of her uncle Emperor Xuande, and it was also the reflection she came to after hearing this comment and reading it out of curiosity.
However, the moment Xu Qing heard this, he was completely shocked.
He originally thought that the little girl in front of him had not heard about his past because of something good, and came to trouble him to kill her boredom. It's just that someone in the family was ridiculed when he asked for a painting or visited him, and then after knowing his whereabouts, he came to take revenge.
But no matter how he guessed, Xu Qing never expected that the bean-like noble girl in front of him would have heard of something he had written for more than ten years.
That article, which was both criticized and criticized, is probably "older" than the little girl in front of me in terms of age!
"You, where did you hear that?"
How do you know that the article is good?
Although everyone will inevitably feel happy after hearing the praise.
But for a girl like Princess Danyang, let alone a talented woman with a reputation for talent, people on the streets said that she was uneducated and had no skills, and it was difficult to read even a big word.
Does such a person praise his own articles?
At this moment, Xu Qing, not to mention happy, felt inexplicably that his article had received malicious comments?
Of course, if the news spread that this article was written by him, there would be another headache.
But as a literati, Xu Qing once boasted of using his pen as his sword. Compared with the difficulties in reality, he was hit more mentally. This was praised by Princess Danyang!
Danyang didn't think much about it at first, she just expressed her feelings frankly and conveyed what her uncle had wanted to say but had no chance to say.
But before she could say this, she noticed something strange and quickly reflected it.
Danyang looked at the tangled application on Xu Qing's face and felt that he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. And again, secretly sighing in my heart.
Hey, it turns out that fame is "tiring".
Ahem, don’t worry about whether it’s a good name or a bad name. In this sense, they are all the same.
