Chapter 64 Argument on Reason
Meng Xia followed behind Tang Guiyi, and the two were speechless all the way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Gui occasionally looked back at Meng Xia, as if he had something to say.
It wasn't until he was about to reach the gate of the upper study courtyard that Tang Guiyi stopped and looked at Meng Xia.
"Ninth Princess, pay attention after you go in for a while, my grandfather has always been not very good-tempered......"
He thought about it and said truthfully: "I'm really sorry, you asked me to do things before, and I may have messed it up." ”
"What exactly does it mean to mess up?" After Meng Xia heard this, he asked rhetorically.
Well, that's not good news, but at least she needs to know how bad it is.
A few days ago, Meng Xia really asked Tang Guiyi for some help, naturally for Meng Tai's exam.
I thought that there should be no problem with Tang Guiyi's identity, but I didn't expect that there was still a bit of miscalculation.
Meng Xia and the Third Emperor Brother never mentioned this matter, first, they didn't want to worry about the Third Emperor Brother in everything, and second, it was best not to involve the Third Emperor Brother, so as not to have any accidents and affect the Third Emperor Brother.
And Tang Guiyi did keep his promise and never mentioned it to anyone again, including the Three Emperor Brothers.
Hearing Meng Xia's rhetorical question, Tang Guiyi smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's not just a matter of whether it's successful or not, I'm afraid grandpa has already guessed that it has something to do with you, so that's why I asked you to come over." ”
"I see." Hearing this, Meng Xia nodded knowingly to show that he understood.
"Ninth Princess, I'm really sorry, not only did I not help, I'm afraid I'm going to spoil your business. I didn't expect it to be like this, it's all my fault, it's me who didn't get things done. ”
Tang Guiyi said with shame.
Seeing Tang Guiyi blaming himself so much, Meng Xia comforted: "Senior Brother Tang, don't say that, if you can help me, it's already a big favor." As for whether it succeeds or not, it is not your responsibility. Don't worry, even if Mrs. Tang knows everything, at most he will teach me a few words, and there will be no big deal. ”
"Of course I know that." Tang Guiyi saw that Meng Xia not only didn't blame him, but also comforted him so much, and felt even more sorry in his heart: "I'm worried that I'm delaying your business, if you want to help the sixth prince, there must be your reasons, but my grandfather is extremely principled and extremely difficult to speak, and now that he knows that it's you, I'm afraid he won't agree." ”
Tang Guiyi never asked Meng Xia why he had to help Meng Tiger from beginning to end, it wasn't that he wasn't curious, but he didn't want Meng Xia to think that he was helping because he had other plans.
But now, he still hasn't helped anything.
"It's not a matter of life and death, Senior Brother Tang really doesn't have to think like this, otherwise I won't be at ease."
Meng Xia smiled and said, "There is Senior Brother Lao, I will go to see Taifu." ”
After saying that, she nodded slightly, and quickly walked into the courtyard, walked to Mrs. Tang's house and knocked on the door.
Mrs. Tang's voice came from inside, the door was not closed, let her go in by herself.
When you push the door in, you can see books almost everywhere in the room, and there are so many that people are amazed.
Meng Xia subconsciously looked at it, somewhat surprised.
Needless to say, there are several bookshelves full of books, cabinets, tables, next to several desks, etc., except for necessary household items, all other places where things can be placed are basically books.
Even the ground on both sides was temporarily stacked, and it didn't look like a place for the master to rest in the study, but more like a small library pavilion.
"Mrs. Tang, why do you have so many books here?"
Meng Xia walked up to Tang Taifu while watching.
She flipped through a number of books along the way, and found that there were all kinds of books, and it was difficult to see what they were for.
There were so many books that Meng Xia temporarily forgot why she came here, and her natural curiosity made her first thing she said after she came in was not to say hello, not to ask what Taifu Tang was looking for her, but about these books.
"The emperor ordered the old man to write new books, which are used to inquire about information."
Mrs. Tang raised his head from the large pile of books in front of him and replied simply.
Then, he put down the book in his hand for the time being, and did not beckon Meng Xia to sit, but went straight to the point and asked, "Why does the ninth princess have to put so much effort into the sixth prince?" Doesn't the princess know that changing the standards without authorization has affected the fairness of the examination? Or is it that the Nine Princesses are born to like to do these things that break the rules? ”
In three or two words, Tang Taifu pointed to the problem and directly questioned Meng Xia, without avoiding taboos.
He didn't even have the slightest need to ask and confirm the incident tactfully, let alone give Meng Xia any chance to deny it.
Meng Xia stood there and didn't rush to defend himself, but couldn't help but be silent.
"Why didn't the Ninth Princess answer?" Seeing this, Mrs. Tang's tone was even more stern: "Sharp words and quick thinking, these have always been the directors of the Ninth Princess, why are they silent in the face of the old man's questions today?" ”
"Taifu is angry, Ah Xia is just thinking about how to answer to make things easier to explain things simply and clearly."
Asked again, Meng Xia finally looked at Taifu Tang and said calmly: "I admit that Ah Xia does have his own selfish intentions in this incident, but I don't think I have done anything wrong, let alone any sinister intentions, and I also ask Taifu Mingjian." ”
"Mingjian? Up to now, the ninth princess doesn't feel that she has a problem at all, and it seems that this study is really no longer suitable for the ninth princess to stay. ”
Tang Taifu's attitude was extremely strong: "Even if the emperor insists on letting the ninth princess stay in the upper study, the old man will never agree!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Meng Xia was silent again.
She never thought that Mrs. Tang's attitude would be so strong, and she directly pulled it to no longer let her stay in the study.
After a while, her face was solemn, and she said with a straight face: "Taifu Mingjian, I don't want to change any rules with my own strength, this point has already been clearly answered to you when I entered the study assessment. Ah Xia just hoped that the Taifu could give the Six Emperor Brothers a chance to teach them according to their aptitude, so that he could gain more motivation and interest in learning. ”
"According to the meaning of the ninth princess, take a shortcut for the six princes, take a more lenient standard to let him pass, and make him feel that he has improved, this is for the good of the six princes? Will this give him more motivation and interest in learning? ”
Tang Taifu reprimanded loudly: "You are obviously taking other people's studies seriously, and you have to be high-sounding in order to achieve your own goals!" ”
"Ah Xia didn't take the Sixth Emperor Brother's studies seriously, let alone make any excuses for himself!"
Seeing this, Meng Xia struggled: "I just have the actual situation of the Sixth Emperor Brother, and I have found some learning methods that are more suitable for him for him, and within his ability, let him get the chance to pass as much as possible!" Ah Xia didn't think it was opportunistic, and he didn't think that doing so would have any bad impact on the Six Emperor Brothers. ”
