Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 35 Chapter 35
"My lord! Shen Ding really has no intention of messing around with you! Even if you don't believe in Shen Ding's determination to atone for your sins, then you should believe in Shen Ding's determination to repay your favor!"

After a long time, Shen Ding blushed and said.

This time he was sincere, so his expression was extremely sincere.It made Zuo Ming and Wu Dazhu somewhat confused.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Zuo Ming still chose to keep Shen Ding.

Firstly, this person is full of murderous looks, so he really doesn't feel at ease if he is outside; secondly, he really needs someone like him by his side to help him do things that are inconvenient for him.

Although Wu Dazhu was brave and able to force his way into the governor's mansion, kill the governor in public and escape, he was not suitable for doing some secret deeds.

Zuo Ming finally nodded, Shen Ding was naturally very happy, no matter how hostile Wu Dazhu's eyes were, he kowtowed and bowed.

After accepting Shen Ding, the three of them walked towards Chang'an in a stop-and-go manner.

Zuo Ming is a slow person, he can play wherever he goes, but he is happy, but he is anxious to the people in Chang'an city.

Just when everyone was wondering if Zuo Ming died on the way, he appeared in the direction of the south gate of Chang'an City with a monkey head mask on his head.

Looking at Zuo Ming who looked like he had returned from an outing, Zhao Si, who was in charge of delivering the decree, twitched fiercely at the corners of his mouth.

In the past few days, His Majesty has asked every day "Has Zuo Ming returned?" When he received the news that he was approaching Chang'an, he was sent to greet him in person, but this kid was lucky, he seemed to be having a good time.

Seeing Zhao Si and a group of guards from a distance, Zuo Ming immediately waved kindly, "Oh! Isn't this Mr. Zhao! Why do you have time to stroll around the gate of the city? It's better to come early than coincidental. Zuo passed by Guizhou recently. Zhou has learned a trick, Eunuch Zhao, please watch!"

Talking happily, Zuo Ming put on the monkey head mask, and then wiped it with his sleeve, and it immediately turned into a grimace, and then turned into a pig's face again.

He was having a great time, but Zhao Si didn't know what to say.

Zuo Ming's trick is the face-changing of later generations. To put it bluntly, the mask is a thousand-layer organ, and the valve of the organ is a rope. Zuo Ming just pulls lightly, and the outermost mask will be pulled into his clothes. Pulling again is the second layer of mask, and so on until the last layer.

This mechanism is naturally quite delicate, but Zuo Ming obviously didn't master it, and the movement of pulling the rope was too big, so everyone could see that he was playing tricks.In this way, where is there any appreciation at all?Everyone just thinks it's funny
Others can laugh, but Zhao Si has to hold back.Although Zuo Ming has no official position, but he is the only one who can make the emperor think about him for such a long time, and he is the only one in the whole Tang Dynasty.Such a noble person, he dare not laugh.

Besides him, there was Shen Ding who didn't dare to laugh, but his face was already flushed from the suffocation.It's not easy for him, and it's not the first time Zuo Ming has performed this trick, every time he's shocked, but he just doesn't dare to laugh.

Wu Dazhu let go, laughing and making Zuo Ming change again.
Seeing Wu Dazhu's support, Zuo Ming, who was full of vanity, quickly adjusted his mask, wanting to change it again, but he didn't want to be stopped by Zhao Si.

Just kidding, if you don't stop me, the guards will be rolling with laughter.This Master Zuo is such a spiritual person, why doesn't he have any self-knowledge?
After stopping Zuo Ming, Zhao Si directly read the imperial decree to invite him into the palace.

Hearing that he was about to enter the palace just after he came back, Zuo Ming was really bored to the extreme.However, considering Li Shimin's kindness to send the fake death medicine, Zuo Ming entered the palace honestly.But before that, he didn't forget to arrange Wu Dazhu and Shen Ding in An Le Juzhong.

As soon as Zuo Ming entered the palace, before he could stand still, Li Shimin threw a piece of paper to Zuo Ming with a red face, "Look! Look! There are still talented people in Chang'an!"

Zuo Ming looked at it inexplicably, and saw that there were a few small characters on it, "The Slender Red Line Ends Fate". The font is beautiful, and it was written by a woman.

"Fuck! It's really a match! It's amazing! It's amazing! It's really amazing!"

Seeing someone meeting the four absolutes he abbreviated, Zuo Ming was startled at first, and then he did not hesitate to praise him, which made Li Shimin feel elated for a while.

However, just when he was proud, Zuo Ming looked at him strangely, "It's just that your majesty is in a hurry to recruit me into the palace, it's not because of this!"

Zuo Ming really convinced Li Shimin, and there is no one else who is so boring.During this period of time, Zuo Ming almost forgot about the Four Absolutes, but Li Shimin still remembered it!And by the looks of it, he has been holding his breath for a long time.

After a slight pause, Li Shimin blushed and became furious, "What do you mean 'just because of this'? Isn't this a big deal? Isn't it a big deal to learn other people's half-baked tricks like you?"

Li Shimin's news is quite well-informed, and he naturally knew about Zuo Ming's tricks at the gate of the city, so he secretly scolded him as a "dandy".Now that Zuo Ming despises literary affairs so much, how can he not be angry.

"Hehehe you say yes! Just as long as you are happy! Just be happy!"

With an embarrassing smile, Zuo Ming actually knew that his tricks had become bad, but he couldn't help but want to show off. This is probably what he and Li Shimin have in common.

"Hmph! Later, you will put this couplet on a table for me and hang it at the main entrance of the Anle Grand Theater. I want everyone to know that my students are not vagrants!"

With a cold snort, Li Shimin said slightly less angry.

"Grass people respect the decree!"

For this request, Zuo Ming didn't care. Although he knew that the person was definitely not a student, but a "school girl" at most, but Li Shimin was in high spirits, so he didn't want to disturb his interest.

Seeing that Zuo Ming is so knowledgeable, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, and then continued, "Also, you should also prepare for the portrait painting. I have already prepared the paint you want. I will give you three days to rest. Three days later, come to the palace for a portrait of me right away! This is a pass token! You'd better come here in the morning, and I will beat your ass until noon!"

As he spoke, he threw a pure gold token to Zuo Ming.

There was no other way, it was too uncomfortable to wear those fine clothes, if Zuo Ming had to wait for another morning like last time, he and Empress Changsun would probably be exhausted to death.

However, seeing such a large piece of gold token, Zuo Ming opened his eyes with a smile, and immediately took a bite, seeing that it was really pure gold, he immediately put it away as a treasure.Li Shimin was speechless for a while.

Li Shimin even wondered if this guy would melt the token directly after he went out, and then return with a copper one.

But just when he was worried, Zuo Ming's words diverted his attention again, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! Caomin has improved his painting skills recently, and he can draw a complete painting just by taking a look at everything." Come down. There is no need to wait for three days, the grassroots will come to the palace tomorrow, as long as your majesty and empress are dressed in formal attire for the grassroots to take a look at, the portraits can be sent to the palace the next day!"

Zuo Ming said so firmly, Li Shimin suddenly couldn't believe it, "You are serious!? You have to think clearly, you are painting, not endorsement!"

With photocopying skills in hand, Zuo Ming was naturally full of confidence, and immediately patted his chest to assure him, "Of course it is true! This way of painting is the skill of grassroots housekeepers. If you smash the signboard here, then the grassroots How are you still messing around?"

It's no wonder that Zuo Ming is so angry, with a camera in his hand, plus the photocopying function, why does he need to work hard to draw?Wouldn't it be over if you just give him a photo?
"Okay! If you can really do it! I won't treat you badly, don't you like that gold medal? I'll give it to you! But my ugly words can be said before, if you don't submit enough paintings in two days Level, this is what I want to hit you with!"

Li Shimin is naturally happy to be able to suffer less.

Hearing that Li Shimin really wanted to give him the gold medal, Zuo Ming was overjoyed.Although he is a cannonball, he also knows the weight of this gold medal.

To put it bluntly, it is a status symbol. With it, you are the representative of the emperor, and anyone who sees you will be short.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is made of pure gold, so it looks great when you hang it around your waist!
After leaving the palace, Zuo Ming sang a little song and returned to Anleju.

At this time, Anleju has undergone earth-shaking changes. The area it occupies has five times its previous size, and the entire Grand Theater has more than doubled in size.

The most important thing is decoration.According to Zuo Ming, the current Anleju has been hung with glass chandeliers of various colors. Although the interior is still illuminated by oil lamps, it is much more high-end and atmospheric.

As soon as Zuo Ming came back, and before he had been warm with Hu Ke for a long time, Li Tai appeared in an unsightly way.But what he brought made Zuo Ming overjoyed.

It is a mirror, a mirror that is common in later generations and cannot be common anymore.

"What is plated here? Mercury or aluminum?" After playing with it for a while, Zuo Ming asked the question he was most concerned about.

With a wry smile, Li Tai said helplessly, "Neither, the two things you mentioned are too difficult to get. The master finally decided to use silver. Although the cost is a bit higher, it is more convenient to operate. You don't know Even so, it took us more than half a month to make such a large mirror."

Hearing that he chose to use silver in the end, Zuo Ming's interest suddenly waned a lot.But there is no way, he doesn't know how to make mirrors, he just produced an electron for Liuli Workshop, and the specific implementation still relies on the wisdom of those ancient people.

With their ability, being able to make a silver-plated mirror is quite good.

"Hey! That's no way! Let's use silver for now! I'll see if I can make an aluminum mirror when I think of other ways! By the way, have you sent this thing to the palace?"

Sighing, Zuo Ming asked Li Tai.

"This is also a custom! Father has already explained that everything produced by Liuli Workshop must be shown to him first."

Li Tai said helplessly.

"Give it away! It's not a treasure! By the way, how is the greenhouse I asked you to build?"

Curling his lips, Zuo Ming said indifferently.

When mentioning the greenhouse, Li Tai suddenly became energetic, "That thing is really useful. Some vegetables and fruits that are obviously out of season have turned green! I have grown up so much, and I have never seen anyone who can How do you grow vegetables in winter?"

Being watched by Li Tai with admiration, Zuo Ming raised his chin triumphantly, "It's not a secret! The reason why most crops cannot grow in winter is nothing more than the temperature is too low! As long as we artificially Adjust the temperature to wait! You said that you have already planted vegetables and fruits? Damn! You didn’t tell this to your father, did you?”

Talking eloquently, Zuo Ming suddenly came back to his senses, and then yelled out.

Looking at Zuo Ming embarrassedly, Li Tai smiled embarrassingly.

He also felt like a traitor, obviously the two of them had agreed to sell some fresh vegetables in winter to earn some money, but he didn't want to be the only one who couldn't hold back and showed off in front of Li Shimin in a fit of anger.

Well now, the greenhouse has been completed, but like Silver Mirror, he and Zuo Ming must not be there anymore.
