Although he roughly understood what he said, Rong Chu still didn't quite do it, and reminded again: "You better be on guard, by the way, the Chen family might as well bury more eyeliner, there's nothing wrong, you and I don't know." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xie Chen glanced at him and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, I just know." ”

"Hey, you can't do that......"

"You have now become the number one imperial merchant in the imperial court, just remember to stabilize your position, I heard that the Cui family and the Shao family are not vegetarians."

At the mention of this, Rong Qi felt a headache, he walked a few steps and sat in front of the low table, fanning with a fan, and said: "Those two families are really difficult, and the foundation is thick, I really can't settle them for a while." ”

"If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, he will be punished." Xie Chen said lightly.

Rong Qi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I want to, but where can I move easily?" ”

This is his own business, so he didn't say more, "By the way, I got a piece of vermilion jade a few days ago, and it is in good condition, so I will use it as a gift for your marriage!" As he spoke, he took out a delicate small jade box from his arms and handed it to him, "I heard that this jade is extremely nourishing, not only invigorating the veins, nourishing the heart and lungs, but also warding off bad luck and eliminating evil spirits, which is very rare." ”

Hearing this, Xie Chen raised his head and looked at the thing he handed over, thought about it, took it and opened it and took a look, his hand was warm and moist, and there was a strange pattern engraved on it.

"Why don't you keep such a precious thing for yourself?"

"It's useless for me to ask for this, you know, except for the family, I am alone, I have no family, and it is also a matter of ashes." Besides, who said that he didn't give it away, but that the man didn't want it.

Xie Chen looked at him and said, "You are not too young, it is time to start a family." ”

"This is not a question of whether it should be or not, in short," Rong Qi thought for a while and waved his hand, "Forget it, tell you what to do, you are married." ”

Xie Chen's expression was light, there were no ups and downs, for him, starting a family was just a necessary process. As for who the other party is, he won't care.

"You still have to bear the responsibility, if you can't make up your mind, I can help you choose."

Hearing this, Rong Qi frowned, a little hesitant, Xie Chen didn't bother him, just waited for him to reply.

After a while, I only heard him say slowly: "If there is really a suitable one, just keep it for me, you are right, you still have to bear the responsibility." ”

The most ridiculous thing is that they sacrificed everything for the sake of those responsibilities.

Xie Chen heard his reply, bowed his head, Rong Qi didn't stay any longer, looked at the jade box in front of him again, and turned to leave.

On the bookcase, the piece of jade was still shining, and he looked at it for a while, then picked it up and walked it out of the study.

At the beginning of September, after Enke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the court was still treacherous and the situation was changeable.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Zhanwen looked at the pile of rolls in front of him boredly, and suddenly threw them down and said: "It's really annoying to watch it for so long, Chen Qing, you say, among these people, which ones should I choose?" ”

Chen Ning lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the scroll in his hand, and said: "In previous years, students from the north and south were admitted, and there were not a few, but this year, Jiangnan suffered from the war seriously, and the minister felt that more outstanding students from Jiangnan should be admitted. What's more, they also have a chance. ”

Zhu Zhanwen touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "There is some truth in what you say." Jiangnan is indeed a place where talented and beautiful people gather, and the people are outstanding. ”

"What the emperor said is that Xie Shilang and Rong Huangshang are examples, not to mention, there is a Fu Gongzi by your side, his article is also doing well this time, I think he will be able to become the emperor's right-hand man in the near future."

Referring to Fu Mingcheng, Zhu Zhanwen smiled, "Although he is not stupid, he is not very smart, and he can't compare to any of them." ”

"The emperor praised it falsely," Chen Ning said: "Xiao'er just has a little more brute strength, and he really doesn't deserve the emperor's praise." ”

Zhu Zhanwen laughed, "Chen Qing, don't come with me, I grew up with Ziming since I was a child, who is he, can I still understand?" ”

Chen Ning was exposed, and he was not embarrassed, he just stood there with a smile and his hands in his hands.

He did have a good son, a son who was not as good as others, and as a father, he was always proud of his son.

After Enke's list was confirmed, Chen Ning left the palace and returned to the Guogong Mansion, where he reported the matter to the old lady.

In the study, the old lady narrowed her eyes, "...... In this way, the emperor should think the same way, otherwise, it would not be so easy to listen to your opinion. ”

"Then my father thinks this matter is good or bad for our Chen family?"

"Water can carry a boat, it can also capsize a boat, you think it's a good thing, that's a good thing, if you think it's not, then it's not."

"In other words, the rise of the Xie family is not necessarily a bad thing for my Chen family."

Chen Ning couldn't help but loosen his brows when he thought of this, he was afraid that the Xie family would rise too fast, and with the emperor behind him, their families would be suppressed.

Old Lady Chen saw farther than him, and said: "You don't have to deliberately suppress them, just let them grow, and it is best to overshadow our Chen family in the limelight." ”

"What?" Chen Ning was surprised, did he say the opposite?

The old lady shook his head, "The emperor is supporting the Xie family, but do you think he will let the Xie family continue to grow, his purpose is just to check and balance." ”

And, in any case, the emperor's affection for the Chen family is heavier than that for the Xie family.

In this case, how could they really sit back and watch the Xie family blindly suppress the Chen family? On the contrary, the same is true.

After figuring out the key, Chen Ning arched his hand and said: "It's still the father's long-term vision, and the son is ashamed of you." ”

The old lady waved his hand, "When you reach my age, some things will naturally be understood." Well, do as I say, the emperor will only think that these arrangements are extremely reasonable. ”

How can Chen Ning have a reason not to go?

Since the old lady went out here, he went to Chen Yu and told him the same thing, and the latter nodded and said, "Grandfather's words are not wrong, father just do it." ”

"I know this," Chen Ning seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, two of the people you gave me have failed, and one of them has a good talent and has been handpicked by the emperor, and the others are not worried." ”

Chen Yu smiled, he had already known this result, where was the person selected by Xie Chen?

"Father look at it more, Xie Chen's methods are good, don't underestimate the enemy. According to what my grandfather said, our Chen family should be less in the limelight in the near future, and give all these limelight to those students. ”
