Xu Qing smiled and said "I don't dare", but he and Princess Danyang smiled tacitly at each other.
This time, not only Zizhu was confused, but even Tian Zhuo, who had come with him because he had nothing to do, looked back and forth at the two of them in confusion.
The two of them laughed, then turned around and saw these two confused people watching.
Xu Qing couldn't speak clearly in front of outsiders at the moment, and he didn't know how to speak. Due to the relationship between Tian Zhuo and Xu Qing, Danyang was unable to overstep his authority and make clear decisions for others first.
Therefore, after a moment of silence, both of them coughed in unison and changed the subject.
Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "Well, Tian Zhuo went to take back all the accounts from the accounting room for the past three months to summarize and clear the accounts. While you are still busy with these things, you can't delay today's homework."
Danyang laughed and told Zizhu: "Go to my warehouse and find some sable or ermine skins, as well as all the good things to keep out the cold. I'll show you the list tonight."
After all the ignorant people were sent away, the two of them got the topic on track.
"Mr. Xu will definitely have a long journey ahead of him. I just wonder if he still wants to go to court to do the humerus, or does he have other plans? As long as I can help, Mr. Wan Wang is welcome."
Xu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"The princess is really happy. If a boy with such a temperament is born..." He sighed secretly, and immediately calmed down his emotions and continued: "I really have something that I don't know how to talk to you about."
Danyang just smiled and raised his hand in greeting, saying, "Sir, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"In the past, I wanted to become a prince and become a prime minister, so that I could show off my talents. To put it bluntly, I wanted to express my ambition and bring benefits to the common people in the world who were once poor and downtrodden like me. Secondly, it was also for Xu's sake. What you have learned in this life is in vain.”
Danyang listened quietly, nodding slightly in agreement from time to time.
She really felt that a person as talented, characterful and ambitious as Xu Qing should not be buried.
Now she only needs to wait for the other party to speak, so that she can do her part for him. This is not only to repay him for all the help he received since entering the princess's house, but also to live up to the promise she made when recruiting talents.
However, listen and listen.
She always felt that there was something wrong with this statement... It seemed that Xu Qing had some different ideas now?
really.
"Princess, I wonder if you can listen to my unkind request?"
Upon hearing this, Danyang tightened his waist even more in his already upright sitting posture, and said, "Sir, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Seeing that it was so difficult to speak, she was afraid that the matter was not simple, and she was not sure whether her dignity in front of her uncle and the prince brother was enough, or that she needed to ask her mother to intervene?
I wonder if she can use her mother's name to ask her uncle for help now?
Fortunately, even if she offends her wise and mighty uncle at this moment, seeing that she and her mother are about to travel far away, it doesn't matter if she gets angry again, right?
But the degree to which something should be done, and whether it can be accomplished or not, ultimately depends on what Xu Qing wants or, to be precise, what he intends to do.
Danyang is secretly planning, but who knows the next moment they hear——
"I would also like to ask the princess to write a letter of recommendation to your father for me. Is it cheap?"
"Huh? Who are you talking about, sir?"
Danyang was so engrossed in his thoughts that he thought he had misheard or misunderstood what the other party said.
Xu Qing smiled and repeated it again, and then sighed with a self-deprecating smile: "Don't talk about joining the army, I never thought about it even a year ago."
Although Danyang was full of doubts after hearing clearly, he felt he could not interfere or ask too much, so he quickly suppressed the gossip as early as the fire was burning.
Who would have thought that I would not say much about this matter?
Realizing this, how could she suppress her original intention any longer?
"Sir, please don't blame me. What happened that made you change your mind? Besides, the battlefield has no eyesight. It's really not a good place for people like us who have no power to restrain a chicken."
"Don't blame me for talking nonsense. As talented as you are, you can show your talents anywhere, so why bother...
"
Xu Qing really didn't mind Danyang's seemingly offensive and nosy words.
After laughing, he slowly said as if to explain his confusion: "Thanks to the princess for such a ridiculous compliment, Xu has always been more shameless than the city wall, so I will accept all your compliments. I also boast about myself, with my body With my ability, I can really have a place wherever I go.”
"However, the world is open to me, but if I want to go north, I have to thank you and General Bai, whom Xu has never met."
These words really surprised Danyang.
"Oh? What do you say, sir? I remember that I never persuaded you to go to the bitter cold frontier fortress in the north, right? Besides, my father is also involved in this matter?"
Xu Qing smiled and nodded.
"The princess is not only Xu's boss, but also the "recommender" of me and General Bai. "
Looking at the little girl who was getting more and more confused, Xu Qing smiled and stopped playing riddles, and said bluntly: "You have never told me about Saibei, but do you still remember that you allowed me to borrow books from the general's outer study?"
Danyang was suddenly enlightened when he heard this.
"Have you read my father's travel diaries or notes?"
She had never heard that there were any rare treasures in her father's study, nor was there any prohibition against anyone entering at will. And she remembered that when she was a child, there seemed to be some nerdy students who came to her door with a greeting card from her father and said they wanted to study in the study room outside.
Therefore, when Xu Qing entered the princess's house and sorted out all the common affairs with her, and when he had nothing to do and mentioned that he wanted to borrow the books in the princess's house, Danyang immediately thought of the people coming in and out of the outer study room outside the city gate.
Unexpectedly, just a few old volumes of old books could actually have a profound impact on Xu's life.
How could someone as stubborn and eccentric as Qing have such a big impact?
Especially those things written by her father, when mentioned in the Zhenguo government office, they seemed to be always denounced by her grandfather, uncle and others as "evidence of guilt" that she was deviant and not doing her job properly.
When Xu Qing heard what Danyang said, a smile of disdain and sarcasm almost filled the corners of his mouth.
"Princess, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. Good things must be judged according to character. You can only feed donkeys and horses with sweet potatoes, radish and other rough ingredients to get a loud cry. If you hold out a jar of Mingqian Biluochun, I'm afraid you will only get a meal." Kick me."
"Puch-"
Danyang also knew that the other party's metaphor was a bit excessive, and it was her own grandfather, uncle and other relatives who were being derogatory.
But those people not only had a bad relationship with their father, but also criticized and criticized their mother and daughter. Even the eldest aunt and cousin, who seemed kind-hearted, had plotted against their family countless times, both overtly and covertly.
Such relatives are not as good as strangers.
What's more, what Xu Qing said was the truth, and the metaphor was so vivid that it was really hard for her not to laugh.
However, a smile was just a smile, and it was hard for her to say anything along with it.
With a slight cough, Danyang tried to regain his expression and brought the topic back to the right track.
"Well, what do you want to do in the north, sir? If you want to make it clear now, I would also like to state it in the letter, so as not to waste time or waste when you get there.
