Chapter 90 Cheer up
Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen went to see Master Xu together, and the two chatted with each other along the way, Chu Qingchen had always thought that Ren Xin was just a stubborn girl, and he had never seen much of the world, but after listening to Ren Xin's opinions, he began to have some expectations for her career, but he only felt that Ren Xin would please the empress and make a small position safely.
Xu Fuzi sat at the dinner table, holding a box in his hand, looking at it carefully, his brows were deeply locked, his expression was solemn, and he was a little impatient in his eyes, looking like he wanted to throw it away but had no choice but to hold it.
Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen sat down on the left and right of Master Xu silently, the master was upset and saw that the two of them came in and didn't speak, Chu Qingchen looked at the master like this, he must have lost, and deliberately stimulated the master, "But lost?" Glancing at Ren Xin as he spoke, he had really believed her guess before, and now it seemed that maybe he had too high expectations of her.
Xu Fuzi raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingchen, who still didn't speak, just sighed and shook his head.
"But what problem has the Empress given you?" Ren Xin looks at the master's appearance and is even more unlikely to win, if her previous guess is not wrong, the empress must have some problem to embarrass Master Xu, who made the master resign in anger before and not give the empress a point of face? The empress won't do anything to him if she can win over him, but it doesn't mean that the empress doesn't hold grudges at all, and it is very likely that she will make a little stumbling block for him.
Xu Fuzi opened the box in his hand, and a walnut-sized bead in the box shone faintly, "Night Pearl? Ren Xin was puzzled, why was Master Xu worried because of a bead?
"How do you know?" Chu Qingchen wondered, didn't Ren Xin grow up in a small town like Yicheng, how could he know such a treasure? Xu Fuzi is also strange, he doesn't seem to have introduced any jewelry to Ren Xin, because he is afraid that Ren Xin will know more about these things and lose his mind in the future.
Ren Xin looked at the eyes of the two of them, thought quietly for a moment, and chuckled, "Why did you forget, what did my godfather do?" He has traveled all these years, what has he not seen? By implication, she knew there was nothing strange about it. Ren Xin also wanted to ask Xu Fuzi about the stone, but looking at the master's state, it seemed that he had to solve his problem first, "Master, but what's the difficulty?" ”
"Alas, let you be right, the prime minister's only daughter Lu Qin'er will be born tomorrow, and more than half of the officials in the court will go to celebrate the birthday of his beloved daughter...... The Empress gave me the pearl of the night and asked me to send it to the Prime Minister to express my gratitude. Xu Fuzi said unwillingly, although he does not have a profound city, but he is also a fox, the empress is not unclear about teasing him by playing chess, but now he is asking him to give gifts to the daughter of the prime minister who is not waiting to see him in his heart, he is a little unwilling, although the prime minister has never intersected with him, and there is no grudge, but the prime minister Lu Zilin is the mastermind who forced Mu Zihan's grandfather to death, and he can't let go of this matter.
Ren Xin didn't know what entanglement Xu Fuzi had with the prime minister, and he was a little puzzled, but Chu Qingchen's face sank after hearing about the prime minister, and he got up to say goodbye and leave. "Master, it's not too early, Qingchen will retire first, and I'll come to see you another day."
Looking at Chu Qingchen and leaving after speaking, he looked a little strange, Ren Xin became more and more confused, could it be that Chu Qingchen also had something to deal with with the prime minister? How did this prime minister be, so unpopular......
Ren Xin looked at Xu Fuzi with a puzzlement, Xu Fuzi was also very strange, he didn't know what happened to Chu Qingchen, Ren Xin first came to the capital, and he didn't wait for a while, and sent Ren Xin back together.
"The empress gave you this priceless night pearl to Lu Qin'er, so is this bead a gift from you or a gift from the empress?" Ren Xin shifted the topic back, Chu Qingchen's temper was more difficult to figure out than a woman's heart, and she didn't bother to guess.
"I'll give it to you." Xu Fuzi stuffed the night pearl with the box to Ren Xin, picked up the chopsticks and ate on the table, and simply couldn't see it.
"The master has a holiday with the prime minister?" Ren Xin covered the box and put it aside, a little curious, the matter of the court, Xu Fuzi had never mentioned it to her, and even the fact that Xu Fuzi and Mr. Lu were old ministers of the previous dynasty was Chu Qingchen who came to invite them back to the court, and Ren Xin only knew.
"Nope." Xu Fuzi didn't want to mention that matter yet, if he hadn't resigned at that time, he could still say a few words for that person, but......
"The Empress may be doing it for your good." Ren Xin didn't understand the situation in the court, but since she was the empress, she definitely had her intentions in what she did.
"I know." When the master lost his temper, he was like a child, Ren Xin coaxed softly on the side, she and Xu Fuzi have thought about it for so many years, Xu Fuzi's temperament she has long felt clearly, he actually just doesn't want to go, he knows what the empress is thinking, otherwise he won't go back to "I know." ”
Just as he was still trying to say something, the master said, "Eat without saying anything, and sleep without sleeping." She had no choice but to shut up and finish a meal with her master in silence, because she was hungry anyway.
Alas, is this the atmosphere of reunion after a long absence?
"Since it is the empress's intention, the master must give this gift, but what if the master is sick? Isn't that just the chance to find someone to deliver it for you? For example, your student ......" Ren Xin tentatively put forward her own ideas, but she was just talking, she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, she didn't think that the master could let her go so safely, and in the end he would go by himself or take her with him.
But he didn't think about it, the master stared at Ren Xin thoughtfully for a moment, and then picked up the box and put it in Ren Xin's hand, "Then it's up to you, but you remember, the prime minister won't be majestic for long, don't get too close to him, just let him feel that you don't have the intention of going against him." "Master Xu instructed Ren Xin, he has his own thoughts, Ren Xin is the first woman to successfully pass the township test over the years, or because of the relationship between the master, this matter has already reached the ears of the prime minister, although he has not shown anything for some reason, but he must have been suspicious of the master and Ren Xin, or find some way to make him not hostile to Ren Xin.
Ren Xin didn't understand what this was, so he really asked her to give a gift, but what the master's words meant, Ren Xin couldn't figure it out for a while. The master asked Ren Xin to clean up the room in the mansion, which was the same room as Ren Xin's previous Ren Xin lived in Xu Mansion when he was in Yicheng, and asked him to inform Fu Bo that Ren Xin would not go back tonight, and by the way, he prepared clothes for Ren Xin to go to the prime minister's birthday banquet tomorrow.
In the middle of the night, Ren Xin couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning in bed, and couldn't figure out what the master had calculated, how could he let her, a girl who had just come out of a calf, give a gift to the prime minister's daughter, which also trusted her too much, what if something went wrong and affected him?
The next day, Ren Xin was carefully cleaned up by the maids, like a dream, and was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a trance, she walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with the night pearl in her arms, everything felt so unreal, she couldn't see what the official rank of adults walked by one after another, Ren Xin saluted again and again, but was not put in the eyes of anyone, like a little transparent.
But Ren Xin herself also wants to open, in this huge capital, what kind of beauty is not, has she been very deliberate to dress herself, it is normal to not attract people's attention with her appearance, she handed over Xu Fuzi's name post, the housekeeper looked at the name post, looked Ren Xin up and down, asked who she was, and then, let Ren Xin wait outside for a while, and came back soon after leaving, presumably to ask the prime minister if she let her in.
"Let's go inside." The housekeeper asked Ren Xin to go straight to the prime minister with a gift, Ren Xin was a little apprehensive, what is the situation, isn't the general gift directly received by the housekeeper? Then people went in to celebrate her birthday, so why did she go in to see the prime minister with gifts?
The prime minister set up a banquet for his daughter in the lobby, and when he was introduced by his subordinates, he just bought a foot in the door, and he was almost frightened by the officials in the room, just to celebrate the birthday of an eighteen-year-old girl, how could so many ministers come to support her, the prime minister has a lot of face, it's just ...... Is that really what the girl wants?
Ren Xin looked at the main seat, and there was a woman sitting next to the prime minister, who was round and jade, and full of spring, thinking that she was the protagonist of today, Ren Xin settled down, walked forward slowly, and saluted lightly, "The student Ren Xin visited the Prime Minister, and the family affairs Xu Fuzi couldn't get out of bed because of the occasional cold, so he had to recuperate, but he was thinking that today was Miss's birthday, and he had no choice but to come to celebrate Miss's ......birthday by Ren Xin."
Ren Xin said Xu Fuzi's helplessness and complimented the prime minister, and then praised Lu Qin'er, and finally greeted the officials present.
"I remember, you're the female lifter this year?" The prime minister asked knowingly, he heard the housekeeper say that when Xu Fuzi's students came to visit with gifts, he immediately thought of who the person was, but he clearly remembered the woman who had passed the village test against his will.
"Yes." Ren Xin replied softly, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I heard that you wrote a good article, but I don't know what other skills you have besides writing articles, if anyone is willing, can you perform something casually to help the little girl?" The prime minister thinks that since Ren Xin is here this time, it shows her intention to take refuge, and since she wants to surrender, shouldn't she show some sincerity?
Ren Xin lowered his head, his heart was cold, and he asked someone to entertain his daughter's performance in public, obviously he looked down on Ren Xin, and Ren Xin wanted to refuse.
