Chapter 396
Xi Dynasty and his party booked a private room, the jinshi did not dare to stop after greeting, Zhiji returned to his position, and the eyes projected secretly were still on the wing king, and the heart walked back to the great luck today to meet the wing king, although it was inconvenient to express it well due to the number of people, it was still difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.
The three of them entered the private room, and the ordered dishes were immediately served, the sound insulation effect of the private room was acceptable, and Hongrui was playful and deliberately listened to the corner of the wall, leaving a gap in the door so that it was easy to hear the sound of talking outside.
Xi Chao couldn't see Hongrui's careful thoughts, and he didn't ask much after glancing at it, and it didn't hurt to go with Hongrui to just listen to the fun.
Luo Changqing's heart is more active than before, and everyone has their own curiosity, that is, they want to hear what outsiders say about themselves, and they are afraid that they will be uncomfortable in front of the Wing King when they hear the words that block their hearts, and their contradictory hearts cause their eyes to inadvertently reveal a little melancholy.
The jinshi outside didn't dare to make a loud noise, they all wanted to show their best side to the king of the wings, and the things they talked about were not as high as the initial talk, although Luo Changqing was also mentioned, and the smart people replaced it with 'he', and the whispered talk tried to suppress the jealousy and contempt in their hearts.
Murong Xuan personally added tea to the three of them, signaling everyone to chat while using them, they were no longer as cautious as other Jinshi who had been in contact with the Wing King a few times, and they were always more and more afraid of comparing the rumored content with the real person.
"How is Luo Changqing in the household department?" Murong Xuan did not shy away from asking Qi Jie, who was in the household department, knowing himself and knowing the other could better distinguish whether he had made friends or not.
"In addition to the background of his net worth, he looks at a gentle gentleman from the table, and he is not arrogant or impatient and very organized. The method of a certain thing is somewhat similar to that of the prince. "Qi Jie doesn't mind revealing some useful information for Tongguo's friends.
"Of course, compared to the vigorous and resolute action with the prince, Luo Changqing is still not as good as him, and he should not be much worse if he has not tested his knowledge. He is a hard-working person. Qi Jie bluntly recounted his recent observations of Luo Changqing.
"The prince didn't give him his due position or even an errand, unlike me who did chores and had a lot to receive, the prince left people behind and didn't ask in person."
"Can the household officials tolerate such a person's savings?" Chen Ji curiously blurted out the doubts buried in his heart.
"Where there are people, it is inevitable that there will be no right and wrong." Gu Sicong could imagine all the difficulties after Luo Changqing entered the household department, "It was sent in by the prince again, and he is not a normal person without jealousy." ”
"That's what you said." Chen Ji rolled his eyes at Gu Sicong, "How can I overturn a boatload of people with one shot, I won't be jealous." ”
"Oh. I didn't see it. Gu Sicong has been in the foreign office for many years, and his temperament is much more cheerful and sleek than the previous one, and he has no burden at all when he ridicules his friends.
"There is no jealousy, there must be envy." Gu Sicong's tone was slightly raised, and his seemingly teasing words were full of affirmation.
"This is, who doesn't want to be favored by the prince. Since then, Qingyun has taken a step forward to the sky. Chen Ji was guessed in his mind, and he was not annoyed at all.
"That's not necessarily, the prince has always been incomprehensible." Gu Sicong still hasn't guessed what the Wing King's intention to appoint Luo Changqing is.
"Luo Changqing was embarrassed and endured it, and he didn't complain to the prince?" Chen Jifei made a joke, knowing that the result would be asked. Trying to adjust the atmosphere.
"If you file a lawsuit, you will never have a chance to rise to the top." Murong Xuan gave a definite conclusion. "Don't forget that the prince has a unique vision, and the people he picks are not bad."
"Do you want to try it first?" Chen Ji heard the implication in Murong Xuan's words.
"If you don't do it, others will also look at the face of the prince and get close to Luo Changqing and make superficial things." Everyone inside has their own careful thoughts, and Gu Sicong doesn't think about it, and he knows that it is nothing more than the word clinging.
"Deliberate approach doesn't work too well." Qi Jie opened his mouth and handed out useful news, "The prince doesn't seem to be very concerned about the selection of official positions. "The potential meaning is that it is possible that this matter is not under the control of the Wing King, if he takes over, the list should have been released a long time ago, and how many rumors in the household department can still be heard, and some people who intend to attack Luo Changqing are afraid that they will be overjoyed.
"Thank you." With such news, Murong Xuan and the others could put it down in their hearts, and it was appropriate for them to pray for Jie to mention it.
"The same dynasty is an official, and they will help each other in the future." Qi Jie knows the rules of officialdom, and one more friend is more helpful. Even if the interests of both parties are put first, it is better than making too many enemies and ending miserably.
The four of them raised their glasses at the same time and forged friendship with tea instead of wine. Today's trip is quite meaningful, it is not in vain to come here to gather, and the meal is enjoyable.
"These people can really pretend." After listening to it for a while, Hongrui in the corner of the wall pursed her lips disdainfully, she didn't hear much interesting things, "The voice is so low, and it doesn't seem to be manly at all." "In the past, people who read books did not look like they were not afraid of the sky and the earth, and they talked so loudly that sometimes they were blushing and their necks were thick, which was like today's voice as thin as mosquitoes and flies, for fear of being heard.
"As long as you talk a lot, you can find fault with anyone." It's funny that Red Stamen occasionally picks bones in eggs.
"The slave is telling the truth." Hongrui said to Luo Changqing again, "In the future, when you contact these people, you will inevitably be underestimated, and you must have a thought in your heart." ”
"Thank you, Miss Red, for the point." Luo Changqing thanked Hongrui for her kindness.
"Most people think that you rely on the master's support, and you don't come politely outside the words, don't learn those sour scholars who can only play tricks, you must grasp the advance and retreat to a certain extent, don't think you take a step back and open the sky, but others don't think so, you have to kick your nose in the face, thinking that you are afraid of him, some things should be strong to bring out the shelf, even if it is a show, you have to calm people, don't embarrass the master, point behind the back and point and say that the master knows no people."
Luo Changqing nodded and took Hongrui's words to heart, and knew that blindly giving in and showing weakness was a cowardly and deceitful expression, and he would never create such an impression on others, losing his own arrogance and losing the face of the Wing King.
On this day, Mu Jinming finally seized the opportunity to sleep with Xi Chao, and swept around with Xi Chao's suspicious gaze cheekily, seeing that he almost broke his work.
Although Xi Chao does not plan to take over the distribution matter, there are a lot of questions to ask, the Jinshi who are outside are almost back, and there is no conclusion on when the matter will start, and there is no objection to the list drawn up by Mu Jinming after reading it. Is it a bit long?
The courtiers and jinshi were anxious and did not dare to show it in their hearts, lest the emperor would twist it back on a whim, and he would cry in case of a big cry.
"Wait. Isn't it true that the courtiers haven't come up with a statute for the distribution of land according to your request, so how can they do it without exerting some pressure? "It's not enough to have benefits, the combination of grace and power is the king's way, and Mu Jin is clearly not in a hurry to control the strength of proportion.
"Don't play it off, it's ruining my plan." Xi Dynasty is reluctant to chase the courtiers with a whip and come up with a satisfactory charter, and willingly offering it is the solution to the United States. It can save a lot of work.
"Don't worry, it can't be bad, I'm not afraid that those people will patronize the distribution of heirs. Forget about your errands. Mu Jin was clearly calculating, not worried at all.
"Grind slowly, the matter of the field is not a matter of one party, and the process of multi-party interest competition is naturally good, and it is not beautiful to force it too tightly." What the tide has is patience. Moreover, there have been few solutions to the problem of land since ancient times. I don't care about the moment.
"I'm afraid I won't know if I drag it out." Mu Jinming's eyes flashed, "Aren't you unaware that hundreds of officials in the Ming Dynasty are used to using the word 'drag', they can afford it, but the people can't afford it."
Xi Chao felt that this was reasonable after thinking about it, so he let Mu Jinming play freely, and there must be a result in things.
After talking in the middle of the night, I don't know when I fell asleep, thinking that I would get up early tomorrow to practice swords. Just urged Mu Jinming, a slacker.
Waking up early in the morning, Mu Jinming carefully turned over and sat up and stared at Xi Chao, who was still asleep beside him. I can wake up earlier than the tide today, what a thing I am willing to show off.
Suddenly, the corners of his eyes swept slightly, and he looked closer suspiciously, not his own dazzle, how could there be a magnificent red on the right collarbone of the tide?
"Xi'er." Mu Jinming had never seen such a dazzling pattern on Xi Chao's body, and he was busy waking up the people around him, why didn't the people who should have gotten up early move at all today?
"Huh?" Xichao, who was still in a fog, opened his eyes and asked, somehow he was lazy and had no strength today.
"How can you have a vine-like mark here?" Mu Jinming touched it with his hands, and felt the warm and delicate touch on his fingertips, not like he was deliberately stabbed, as if it was growing in the skin.
"What!" Xi Chao dodged for a while, strange itching, I don't remember that I have tattoos and other patterns on my body, I looked at it with suspicion, there was a touch of red, I couldn't see what kind of pattern it was, I hurriedly got out of bed and walked to the mirror and tore open the collar for a photo, the bright color like a vine-like print appeared on my fair collarbone, and I reached out and touched the bump left by the general tattoo, as if it should have been there, this abnormal condition made me tighten my eyebrows, and secretly remembered what was wrong.
Mu Jin saw that Xi Chao's expression was different, so he knew that something was not quite right, and immediately ordered someone to call Imperial Doctor Xu, and he was anxious for fear of a single event.
"Hongming." The tide summoned the alarmed Hongming.
"Master?" Hongming came in and saluted the two masters first, "Is the master uncomfortable?" "It's rare to call a doctor early in the morning.
"This." Xi Chao turned around to let Hong Ming see more clearly, to say that he was really a little unwell, his heart was in a trance, and he suddenly remembered that last month was also a menstrual affair at this time, no wonder he couldn't wake up!
"This, this is?" Hong Ming was shocked when he saw it, "There was no yesterday." "Yesterday was to serve my master to bathe and change clothes, if I found out earlier, not to mention that in such a conspicuous position as the collarbone, it is a bright and dazzling color, unless I am blind, I can know it at a glance.
Xi Chao naturally has no impression of the ornaments that suddenly appeared on his body, and he was very irritable when this happened early in the morning, and with the chaos of the moon letter, his body was not very comfortable, and there were naturally obvious changes.
"What's wrong with your body?" Mu Jinming saw the extra things for no reason, and he couldn't wait to rip them off because it was too eye-catching, "Is there anything that shouldn't be touched when eating and using?" "I was afraid that it was poisoning, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.
"That's not it." Xi Chao can give a definite answer, his diet and daily life are taken care of by Hongming Hongrui, and there will be no stubble.
Hong Ming recalled the situation of the master's eating and use yesterday and even a few days ago, and found no abnormality.
Hongrui was just sent out yesterday, and she was not in the house at this time, otherwise she would have exploded when she saw this scene.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Xu came, and Mu Jinming directly exempted him, "What's the matter with this red seal?" "I was restless.
Imperial Physician Xu stepped forward to observe, and was shocked at a glance, his lips moved and he couldn't say half a word, how could he see the change in the Wing King!
Xi Chao suddenly didn't dress up because of the incident, only wearing a middle coat, and the things on his collarbone were clearly exposed, and the slightly changed expression of Imperial Doctor Xu sank.
"Make it clear." Mu Jinming lowered his face coldly, "It's not poisoning, right?" ”
"It's not poison." Imperial Physician Xu adjusted his chaotic mood and replied, "This is a medicinal herb called Hongyan that grows in the Yan Kingdom, I don't know if the prince has been calculated by any mistake to take this medicine?" It's no wonder that he asked this question, but because this thing is like thunder and has obvious special effects.
"Hongyan?" Xi Chao is really unclear So, the name is good, but the effect is difficult to say, looking at the expression of Imperial Doctor Xu, there is obviously another hidden meaning here.
Mu Jinming didn't know much about drugs, and he didn't know what a red face was, but fortunately it wasn't what he thought, "Does it have an impact on the body?" ”
"That's not it." Imperial Physician Xu replied truthfully, with the shrewdness of the Wing King, who lined the Wing King, he was not prepared to calculate, and this person was bold.
"The red face is non-toxic, and the reason why it got this name is a metaphor for the confidante of the world." Imperial Doctor Xu solved his doubts, "The place where Hongyan grows is at the junction of extreme cold and heat, only Yan has a suitable place to grow, it is a herb used to swear an oath with a beloved, and it will be effective within two or three months after both parties take it. "Think of a pattern crawling all over the body, the kind of picture that rushes into the field of vision looks very terrifying, so no face to go out to see people, not to mention that you will not like it after watching it for a long time, which makes it difficult for the husband and wife to live again, the humanistic vision dominates, and it is difficult to cross the hurdle in the heart if you like the beauty and hate the ugly.
"Who is it? Yan Suyi! As soon as Mu Jinming heard that Hongyan was growing up, he suddenly had an answer in his heart, his face was cloudy, and he secretly cursed Yan Suyi to be so bold!
"Is there a solution?" Xi Chao remembered Yan Suyi's sudden strong kiss before returning to Beijing, and he had probably calculated it at that time.
"This is not that the poison is difficult to solve, just like the pulse diagnosis at the beginning of the prince, no abnormalities were found." Doctor Xu explained, "The effectiveness of red face is only two years, and if you don't marry another person within two years, the color will change to black, and the solution is that there is no other way, you can use medicine to suppress it and not spread outward." ”
"What happens if you marry another man who wears a red face?" Mu Jinming was referring not to Yan Suyi himself, but to another person.
"This is not good, the medicinal nature of the red face is more evil, the color and style of the pattern after a pair of men and women take the medicine is the same, and the red face is another pattern after others take it, and there is still no investigation of why it has changed." Imperial Physician Xu could hear the eagerness under the emperor's voice.
Mu Jin cursed brightly and darkly, damn it! Raising his hand and waving away Imperial Physician Xu, he ordered him to go down to dispense medicine, the anger in his heart burned violently, and he greeted Yan Suyi, the eighteenth generation of the evil thief ancestor, if the real person is in front of him, he will definitely not blink in front of him, and he will directly cut the person into several pieces with a sword to relieve the hatred in his heart.
On the surface, the pretending is too perfect, a humble gentleman knows etiquette, and now he can reveal his original form, the fat man is down, Mu Jin vomits blood brightly, and he looks too highly at Yan Suyi's character. (To be continued......)
