Chapter 357: A Lifesaver
Yan Xiao slumped on the chair in a daze, yes, even Yan Rongzheng, who favored him, knew that Yan Zhong was enveloped, it seemed that his status in the Minwang Mansion was really well known, he shook his head with a wry smile, and beat himself, the eldest son of the dignified son was mixed up like this.
People are sometimes afraid to recognize the reality, Yan Xiao mingles with those fox friends and dog friends all day long, and everyone still praises him according to his heart, but once he leaves those people, he is nothing, Yan Rongzheng stopped Yan Xiao who beat him, "Why do you bother, the tone is self-pitying, it is better to reflect on it." ”
Yan Xiao shook his head decadently, reflecting on Yan Zhong's mother's appearance, his mother was already old, all Yan Rongqiang's grace came from beauty, how could he win Yan Zhong, "It's useless." ”
Lu Xie has been looking at Yan Xiao with a smile, feeling pitiful and pathetic, his limbs are developed and his mind is simple, and both mother and son are very short-sighted, "It's really useless if you go on like this." ”
Yan Xiao smiled abruptly again, can there be a way?
It's time, Lu Xie stepped forward and leaned against Yan Rongzheng, and pouted towards Yan Xiao, "Seeing that your nephew is so decadent, shouldn't you help him, even I can't stand it." ”
As soon as Lu Xie's words came out, Yan Xiao suddenly seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, threw himself on his knees in front of Yan Rongzheng, buried his head and cried, "Uncle Wang help my nephew, otherwise my nephew won't even have a foothold in the Minwang Mansion." ”
It's pitiful, Yan Rongzheng pulled Yan Xiao up, looked at it coldly for a long time, and then said sharply: "Wipe your tears away for me first, even I can't look down on crying like this, not to mention your father, men don't flick when they have tears." ”
Yan Xiao was stunned, he didn't dare to stand up and wipe his tears, looking forward to Yan Rongzheng being able to win back a city for him, "Uncle Wang." ”
Putting aside the disputes of adults, Yan Rongzheng is still very pitiful Yan Xiao in his heart, his father is not hurt, his mother is stupid, if this continues, one day he will be destroyed in the hands of his parents, and now, although he has a different purpose, he can be regarded as helping him, so he said: "You are idle all day long, even if Uncle Wang has the heart to help you, I am afraid you will not be able to hold your breath." ”
At this point, Yan Xiao can only make a desperate bet, if Uncle Wang really dies, his father has a great chance of inheriting the throne, even if he can't be the emperor, he won't let Yan Zhong be the emperor, "The nephew must listen to his orders." ”
Ignorance makes people stupid, but too much knowledge makes people complicated, Yan Rongqiang is destined to be a loser, and he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to keep a vein for him, "Even so, I won't force you, but it's not a way for you to be so idle, after all, you want to enter the court as an official." ”
He wanted to be an official, but Yan Rongqiang didn't pay attention to him at all, and didn't give him anything except insulting him, but let the concubine's sin take advantage of it, thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth tightly, and he sulked nowhere to go, "I still have a chance to become an official in the court?" This may be a big joke.
People can't be arrogant, Yan Xiao is so unconfident, it seems that Yan Rongqiang didn't hit him less, Yan Rongzheng smiled and asked Lu Xie, "I heard that there was a vacancy two days ago, I don't know if anyone has set it." ”
Lu Xie waved his hand, "Not yet, it's too idle, people with backgrounds can't look down on it, and people without backgrounds can't reach it, do you mean to leave it to Yan Xiao Gongzi?"
Yan Rongzheng nodded, "Let me keep it for the time being." The excited look on Yan Xiao's face flashed, and he became depressed for a moment, why could Yan Zhong be in a good position, and he could only pick up other people's idle positions, Yan Rongzheng saw that Yan Xiao's mood was not high, "Why can't you look down on this errand?"
Yan Xiao dared to say no, he could only accept it head-on, Yan Rongzheng said with displeasure: "I just said that you will be like this to see if you can calm down, it's just that, I'm too lazy to care about you, you can go." So saying, he asked the butler to take him out.
The housekeeper walked a few steps and saw that Yan Xiao was depressed, so he said kindly: "Young Master Yan Xiao, forgive me for saying a disrespectful word, you shouldn't have done that just now." ”
Yan Xiao was depressed because he was kicked out by Yan Rongzheng and missed an opportunity, and at this moment, he was counted down by the housekeeper, and he was unhappy, "What do you mean that this son is only worthy of such an errand?"
The housekeeper shook in fear, "Don't dare, I didn't mean that, I mean that the prince has failed the prince's cultivation heart, even I can understand that the prince means to let you be wronged for the time being, but you didn't hear it." ”
When the housekeeper said this, Yan Xiaoden regretted it, he just disliked the idle job, and forgot what Yan Rongzheng had instructed, "What can I do about this? Now Uncle Wang has kicked me out." ”
The housekeeper then said: "The prince is too careful, although the prince is not easy to get close to, but it can also be seen that the prince pays special attention to you, and you are blood relatives, now you encounter injustice, how can he sit idly by, you must know that the prince is the most affectionate and righteous, otherwise how can my young master be friends with him alone?"
This is true, Yan Rongzheng is a person who values love and righteousness, and he has heard it for a long time, but now he looks back and begs him, and he doesn't know if he is still angry? But then again, they are uncles and nephews, "Then you say, do I still have a chance to go back now?"
"It's natural, and if you don't try, you won't even have a chance, will you?" the butler strongly supported.
Yan Xiao took a reassuring pill at the housekeeper's place, so he had the courage to turn back and come to the door of the study, but he could only hear what was being said inside, and he was about to speak, the housekeeper hurriedly made a silent gesture and whispered: "The prince doesn't like others to interrupt him, let's stand here, and it's not too late to go in after they finish speaking." ”
Yan Xiao stood patiently outside, only to hear Lu Xie say inside: "Rong Zheng, why didn't you tell Yan Xiao the truth just now?"
"The truth, what is the truth?" Yan Rongzheng glanced at Lu Xie inexplicably, "Those are all rumors that you and I have heard from other places, and I can't be true." ”
Lu Xie held the opposite opinion, "But what if it's true?"
"What is true and what is false, once this eldest brother is gone, the successor to the throne must be none other than the third emperor brother, and the third emperor brother will definitely establish Yan Zhong as the crown prince, if I say this to Yan Xiao, won't he hate his father even more, if their father-son relationship is not good, isn't Yan Xiao's situation more difficult?" Yan Rongzheng seemed to have his reason.
These words fell in Yan Xiao's ears for a while, before he only heard the gossip of those people outside, but now he heard these from his uncle Wang's mouth, which confirmed those people's speculations even more, and he didn't have time to think more, and heard the words inside: "Yan Xiao has no ink on his chest, I originally wanted to give him an idle position, get familiar with the people in the officialdom first, and then take the opportunity to learn to read and write, and then fight for it when the time comes, but he doesn't understand my hard work." ”...
