Chapter 53:-for-tat
When Xu Siming and the four of them expressed their loyalty to Xu Suyao, they told her everything they knew about the eldest princess Meixin, including the secret room between the princess's mansion and the Xu mansion, the use of code words, the path that the eldest princess was forced to take, and the forces that divided into two factions.
At that time, Xu Suyao had a deep memory, and Steward Zhou and Shan Jian both swore that these things were very secret, and even the saints did not know about them.
As a result, the saint of Dayuan didn't know, Xu Suyao didn't know, but she knew very well that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of Daqi knew, and she was very familiar with finding the secret room and going in to investigate just a few days after coming to Dayuan.
And those Taoist priests who came over yesterday, although they were looking for half an hour in the random hall, they also found it! It can be seen that the secret room of the random hall is not as secret as they imagined.
Xu Siming pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do you still have something to hide from me?" ”
Shuangdao told Xu Siming about the battle with someone in Xu Mansion, but even Shan Jian didn't know why Xu Mansion was targeted.
Xu Suyao smiled a little reluctantly, "It's inconvenient to tell you some things now, but don't worry, these things still need your help, and when they can be revealed, I will be the first to tell you." ”
Xu Siming was a little sullen, and Xu Suyao hurriedly said, "Look, you have been hiding the matter of my eldest princess for more than ten years, and I don't blame you, right?" Only this once, how about the next example? ”
Xu Siming reluctantly agreed, "Then leave the Lin family's affairs to me, you can't be soft-hearted." ”
Xu Suyao nodded, no matter how Xu Siming wanted to treat the Lin family, it had nothing to do with her. If it doesn't matter, how can she care?
After chatting about some of yesterday's suspicions, Xu Suyao suddenly asked, "How is Mr. Ji's affairs going?" ”
Xu Siming's brows immediately furrowed, "I'm not too optimistic, you also know that the foundation of the scholar clan is too thick, and the children of the Han family are in the inferior class, and they are too much worse than them." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Suyao was also a little curious and nervous.
Although she expressed her attitude not to participate in the gathering of the cold door, she did not say that she would definitely be the opposite of the cold door, now is not the time for her to come forward, she can only silently make suggestions behind her back and make a contribution.
"Princess Pingyang founded a special endowment club for the Shuyun Society, and on the same day, she gave the Shuyun Society a challenge letter, and yesterday I discussed with Mr. Ji for a day and did not choose a suitable person to fight." Xu Siming also brought out the expression on his face when he spoke, as if he had already decided that the Shuyun Society would lose.
"Who did the Shufu Society send to make you and Mr. Ji so pessimistic?" Xu Suyao couldn't help but ask.
"There are two talented characters in this batch of cold families, one is Ren Minghua, who is good at painting, and his handicap is shocking; A Zhong Ziqi, good at stroking the qin, his piano skills can make all beasts dance", Xu Siming did not notice the strangeness on Xu Suyao's face when he heard Zhong Ziqi's name, and then sighed, "But no matter how good Ren Minghua's painting is, it can't compare to Miss Lin in Dongfu, Zhong Ziqi's piano is wanton and free, but it can't compare to Princess Pingyang's overwhelming momentum, my chess skills can barely beat Miss Zhou." ”
Miss Lin refers to Lin Yueru, and Miss Zhou refers to Zhou Lingshuang.
And Lin Yueru's paintings, Zhou Lingshuang's chess and even Princess Pingyang's own piano skills have all been carefully guided by famous artists.
Princess Pingyang's move is indeed too tit-for-tat, the Shuyun Society will become the pillar of the Great Yuan and the marriage relationship without the intricacies of the circle, it is purely for the meaning of serving the saint, and the Shufu Society, famous for Zhiyi, this is to tell the students of the Hanmen that the scholars are born to be superior to them, and what is even more unbearable is that the Princess Pingyang's Shufu Society is full of women, if this time the competition is lost, the Shuyun Society can be disbanded directly.
Xu Suyao also fell into contradictions, Yu Gong, she naturally hoped that the poor students could win the first battle, win three games in a row, and gain a firm foothold in the capital, but Yu Private, she was Lin Yueru's friend, and she didn't want to see Lin Yueru hit again.
"How sure are you of winning the last two?" Xu Suyao decided that if she could, she could win the competition with a best-of-three system.
"The odds of winning are only four points. Zhong Ziqi as a man, although the style is free and easy, it is too wanton, even if the sound of the piano is beautiful, it is impossible to win in such an atmosphere", Xu Siming sighed, if he was not involved in this battle between the cold family and the scholars, Zhong Ziqi would definitely become a generation of celebrities, "Zhou Lingshuang is simply a chess idiot, her mind is all on chess, but it is not comparable to me, a busy person." ”
"Come less", Xu Suyao interrupted Xu Siming's self-pity, "In my opinion, the result of this competition may not be as pessimistic as you think." ”
Xu Siming's eyes lit up, "Do you have a way?" ”
"Mountain people have their own tricks", Xu Suyao sold a pass, "But I have a few requirements, if you and Mr. Ji can do it, I will have six points in this competition." ”
Seeing that Xu Siming was listening carefully, Xu Suyao raised her first finger, "First of all, you need to ask three people to be referees, one Mr. Ji, one me, and the other, you can do it yourself, but it must be someone from the Shi clan." ”
"This is easy, Mr. Ji himself is from a famous family and has a good reputation, and everyone must have no opinion when he is asked to be a referee; The Ye Pavilion Master can also be regarded as a typical representative of the scholar clan, he can also be counted as one, as for you, although it is a little difficult, but it should still be possible to add you to make up the number. ”
Xu Suyao pursed her lips, this little brother, don't forget to hit himself at any time, "Secondly, on the day of the piano competition, it is best to have a little rain, the kind of smoke and haze, can you do this?" ”
It's May and June, and there are rainy days, but the weather forecast in this era is classified, and it is difficult to estimate this time.
Sure enough, Xu Siming thought for a while before saying, "This, it depends on luck, but if there is a suitable day within half a month, we will definitely grasp it." ”
Xu Suyao smiled at this time, "The last point is that you must be better than Zhou Lingshuang!" ”
She can use some other means for the first two, but she can't use the last point, Xu Siming's good face is not something she can hold, in case it is self-defeating, she will not be able to eat and walk around in the future.
Xu Siming said with a smile, "I am naturally reliable, if you are sure that you have a clever plan, then we will win this competition." ”
If the time and place are right, you will naturally win.
However, Xu Suyao didn't say anything, "I don't care what the Lin family does with you, but you have to guarantee that the child in her belly with mint can be born." ”
Xu Siming snorted, turned around and went back to Zhaicaotang, while Xu Suyao called Mama Leng to find Ya Po to sell other maids in Xianglai Garden.
