Chapter 122: Circumference
Xiao Zou hurriedly arrived at Qianyunju. The moment he saw Ji Ze, Xiao Zou's eyes lit up, with a vague eagerness as before.
Ji Ze's expression was indifferent, his eyes touched Xiao Zou's slightly, and he quickly looked away.
Xiao Zou's heart sank straight down. Ji Ze hasn't gotten rid of his anger yet
"The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Xiao Zou cheered up, squeezed out a smile, and stepped forward to salute King Qin.
King Qin replied with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to be polite. ”
Chen Yuanzhao is a junior, so he wants to take the initiative to greet him: "I've seen Mrs. ”
Xiao Zou said with a smile: "General Chen rarely comes to the mansion as a guest, if there is a place where the hospitality is not good, please also invite General Haihan." ”
Chen Yuanzhao cherished the words like gold: "Madame is polite!" He didn't have a good impression of Xiao Zou, and since he planted eyeliner in the Weining Hou Mansion, Xiao Zou's every move also fell into his eyes. He became more and more disgusted with the ruthless little Zou.
Xiao Zou didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Yuanzhao's expression, most of her attention was on Ji Ze, and said with a slightly flattering smile: "The prince sent someone back to the house to deliver the letter, I asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes carefully, and Qianyun Ju cleaned up inside and out." ”
Ji Ze replied lightly: "Mother Lao is bothered." ”
Xiao Zou was choked for a moment, and soon smiled again: "Recently, the prince has not returned home, and I think he is busy with official business. When Yu'er asked this morning, I was counted down. Of course, the prince should put public affairs first. I take care of the trivial matters in the house, and the prince doesn't need to worry. ”
This scene is very beautiful.
Ji Ze still looked lukewarm, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "Hard mother." ”
Xiao Zou's smile was almost unbearable.
She rushed to Qianyunju so badly just to show goodwill, it was impossible for Ji Ze not to know that she was doing this now
Xiao Zou was unwilling in his heart and didn't want to leave like this. Cheeky stayed, but didn't know what to say.
King Qin was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zou.
Men talk together, and they have to drink later. Xiao Zou has always been a clever person with raised eyebrows and eyes, why is he so blind today and has been staying for a long time?
Chen Yuanzhao also frowned subconsciously.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Xiao Zou gritted his teeth and finally got up: "The prince greets His Royal Highness King Qin and General Chen well, and the concubine will not bother." ”
Ji Ze finally glanced at Xiao Zou: "Please give the mother an order to let the kitchen prepare some decanting soup." ”
Xiao Zou's heart was instantly overjoyed, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and order." ”
Odd! Isn't it just about preparing decanting soup? Such a simple thing is also worthy of Xiao Zou's happiness?
Chen Yuanzhao's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected a very important thing all along.
Xiao Zou wanted to calculate Xu Jinyu, and even did not hesitate to use such pickled methods as medicine. And Ji Ze didn't have any opinions, so he let Xiao Zou arrange it
What's the secret?
Xiao Zou left with a happy face, and soon, Xu Zheng came.
This incident was in the hot summer, and there were several ice basins in the main hall of Qianyunju, which was naturally much cooler than outside.
The fair-skinned and handsome face floated with a light smile like a breeze, wearing a simple bamboo blue robe, the sleeves were embroidered with the same color silk thread bamboo leaf dark lines, and the hem of the robe also had the same dark lines, reflecting Xu Zheng's clear eyebrows and outstanding demeanor.
King Qin could barely suppress the impatience and heat in his heart, and his eyes were burning.
There is no shortage of delicate, supple and talented young people around him, but Xu Zheng is the best and most outstanding he has seen in his life. From appearance to temperament, everything is in line with his heart.
The more he couldn't get his hands on it, the more worried he was. He even took the initiative to come to the Marquis of Weining's mansion again and again for the sake of Xu Zheng. This has been almost unprecedented in his more than 20 years of life
For Xu Zheng, he is determined to win!
Xu Zheng didn't seem to notice King Qin's slightly aggressive and eager gaze, stepped forward with a smile, and saluted with his fists: "Xu Zheng has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin, General Chen and the prince. ”
King Qin's tone was casual and intimate: "Didn't I tell you?" In the future, when you see this king, you don't have to salute, and you don't have to be formal. ”
Xu Zheng smiled, his expression still respectful: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love." ”
King Qin looked at Xu Zheng more and more pleasing to the eye, and he didn't mind Xu Zheng's unfamiliar politeness intentionally or unintentionally, and greeted with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, just a few of us, come and sit next to this king to talk." ”
Xu Zheng couldn't refuse, so he had to respond, and walked to King Qin with a smile and sat down. Unfortunately, he sat face to face with Chen Yuanzhao.
Chen Yuanzhao was hesitating whether to talk to Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng glanced at him lightly, and then quickly looked away
It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the hearts of good people!
If it weren't for Xu Zheng's safety, how could he follow him to the Hou Mansion together? I knew that Xu Zheng was so unappreciative, he really shouldn't have come to this trip!
Chen Yuanzhao snorted coldly in his heart.
Fortunately, he was already an ice cube face, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy at all. It didn't affect King Qin's conversation at all: "Xu Zheng, it's going to be autumn soon." Are you sure? ”
Xu Zheng replied: "I have been studying hard these days, and I can't grasp it, but I will definitely do my best to live up to so many years of hard work." ”
Ji Ze interjected with a smile: "Cousin, there is something you don't know yet!" Today at the court meeting, the emperor appointed Lord Cao as the chief examiner of this year's autumn festival. That's good news for you. ”
When Xu Zheng heard the good news, he was also in good spirits: "Is it really Lord Cao who is the chief examiner?" That's great! ”
In the past few months, he often went to Cao's house to listen to Master Cao's advice, and benefited a lot. Now that Master Cao is the chief examiner of the Autumn Festival, it means that his road to the Autumn Festival will go more smoothly.
In order to eliminate fraud in the imperial examination, names must be pasted when marking test papers. However, everyone has their own preferences for reading exam papers, and if candidates can vote for their favorites, the chances of winning the examination will be greatly increased, and the ranking will be better.
Ji Ze smiled: "Of course it's true. Today, it will be decided in the court, and it is estimated that it will spread all over the capital in less than a day. From tomorrow onwards, there will definitely be more visitors to Lord Cao's mansion. Fortunately, Lord Cao has always appreciated your talents, and if you come to ask for advice, Lord Cao will definitely see you. ”
Xu Zheng didn't want to respond.
He is not so high-minded, he has ready-made connections, why not use it? Master Cao is willing to give a few words at will, which must be much better than his hard work.
He must take the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he must take a good ranking! It is better to be a blockbuster and famous throughout the capital.
There is no one in this world who can be trusted and relied on, if you want to protect yourself and protect your sister and mother, you can only rely on yourself!
King Qin smiled and said: "Xu Zheng, you have to concentrate on studying and preparing for the autumn season, the three of us will drink tonight, you don't have to drink, just pour wine for this king." However, when you pass the autumn exam, you have to accompany this king to get drunk and have a good time. ”
When he said the word fun, he paused subtly.
Xu Zheng only felt disgusting in his heart, but he smiled freely: "Of course." ”
Chen Yuanzhao's gaze swept over Xu Zheng's handsome face, and he reluctantly thought that this Xu Zheng was not stupid. Know that it is strong and easy to bend, and know how to maneuver skillfully. Endure for a moment in order to get out later.
It's a pity that Xu Zheng didn't know King Qin's temper.
The gentleness of King Qin's appearance is all disguise, the real King of Qin is ambitious, extremely controlling, and greedy by nature. The person who likes it will never give up lightly, and it is necessary to get it before he is willing!
If Xu Zheng thought that he had passed the Qiu Yu examination and would be able to escape the coveting of King Qin with his fame, he would be very wrong!
When the meal was ready, everyone moved to the dining room.
King Qin sat Ji Ze on the left side, and the boy he liked sat on the right side, and he was in a good mood. Xu Zheng pressed the disgust in his heart, smiled and held the wine jug in his hand, and poured wine for King Qin.
Drink it! It's better to drink you to death!
Ji Ze is very talkative, King Qin is also full of witty words, but Chen Yuanzhao has a cold face from beginning to end, and the action of drinking is very fast, cup after cup, his face does not change at all.
Chen Yuanzhao frequently toasted with King Qin, and King Qin was very interested and drank very refreshingly.
Xu Zheng quickly sensed the subtlety, and thought uncertainly, what did Chen Yuanzhao mean by this? I don't want to get King Qin drunk!
Would Chen Yuanzhao have such a good heart?
Of course, no matter what Chen Yuanzhao's intentions were, the effect was obvious. King Qin soon became drunk, and his eyes unconsciously became a little more presumptuous. When Xu Zheng poured wine for him, he casually and logically took Xu Zheng's hand: "Xu Zheng, this king appreciates your talent very much. In the future, when you come to this king's side to do things, this king will never treat you badly. ”
Xu Zheng resisted the urge to turn his face and leave, and said perfunctorily with a smile: "Your Highness has a good intention, I understand it." The autumn has not passed, what is the future? ”
King Qin used a little bit of wine to leak a trace of his ambition and desire~ hope: "It doesn't matter if Qiu Yu doesn't pass the exam, the position of a subordinate official in King Qin's mansion is reserved for you." ”
Chen Yuanzhao, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "There is no wine in my wine glass, Xu Zheng, you come and pour wine for me." ”
The tone was not polite, but Xu Zheng couldn't ask for it at this time, so he got up and poured wine and withdrew his hand, which also happened to avoid King Qin's aggressive solicitation.
King Qin felt a little lost in his heart, but he was not discouraged.
If Xu Zheng agreed to it, he wouldn't value Xu Zheng so much. For the teenager he likes, he has more patience.
This feast did not end until the hour of the child.
King Qin was so drunk that he had to stay in Qianyunju. Ji Ze was also drunk: "Cousin, please send one to Zixi on my behalf." ”
Xu Zheng wished he wanted to leave early, so he didn't want to respond.
The two of them walked out of the shallow cloud residence one after the other, and before they went far, a familiar figure suddenly came into view. R1152
