Chapter 39: The Way of Being an Official (4/63)

Mrs. Lu frowned and glared seriously, Feng Yun's cheeks rose a little dissatisfied, and her jade hand was raised lightly, forcibly unbuttoning Xu Buling's shirt.

Xu Buling was helpless, and honestly spread his hands.

The strong muscles in the chest are clearly defined, and there is an obvious black blue at the ribs, which was smashed by Zhu Manlong's fierce fist, although it did not hurt the muscles and bones, but the body was poisoned and weak, and it would definitely not be able to recover in a short time.

The palm-sized black bruise was like a cloud of ink on white rice paper.

Mrs. Lu's fierce expression suddenly turned into distress, and her eyes were angry and anxious: "Why are you so disobedient?" He raised his hand and wanted to give Xu Buling a few orders, but he was reluctant to do it, so he wanted to call someone to call the imperial doctor over.

Xu Buling hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "It's just a small injury, it will be fine in a few days, and there is no need to mobilize the people." ”

Mrs. Lu was born in a family since she was a child, and she has never even seen a chicken killed, and she saw that the baby she wanted to hold in her mouth was so seriously injured, where could she stand it:

"Your chest is bruised and slightly injured, you were already poisoned and couldn't move, and you were promised to go fishing in Qujiang Pond and still restless, and the blood that went to Baimazhuang to kill was like a river, and you can't be a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes?"

Mrs. Lu's words were stern, but her face was full of nervousness, and she carefully helped Xu Buling to lie down, took out the standing medicinal wine from the cabinet, and gently smeared it on Xu Buling's chest wound.

Xu Buling lay down honestly, looking at the mature cheeks leaning over, the wind was as moist as warm jade, the red lips were like vermilion lacquer, and the light breath was blowing on the skin on the chest, crispy and numb. He coughed lightly and said with a smile:

"I'm honest, I didn't do it very well last night, my reputation was carried by Xiao Ting, and I didn't leave a name for the people......"

Mrs. Lu pinched his arm in annoyance: "Even if the Li family's sins are unforgivable, you can just say hello to the yamen, or tell me, I can go and say hello, can I go and take the risk in person?" If you force your anger and hurt your heart, you don't know what will happen to you? ”

Facing Mrs. Lu's reproach, Xu Buling chuckled and nodded:

"I know, I know, I'm measured."

Mrs. Lu snorted lightly: "I say this every time, and I don't take it seriously afterwards, I was angry that day, and I stood by and stared at you every night to see if you were afraid......"

Xu Buling frowned slightly: "What are you talking about, Aunt Lu is young, beautiful and virtuous, and her temperament is gentle and considerate......"

A series of sweet words.

Mrs. Lu glanced at her angrily, but she was reluctant to preach, so she picked up the food box from the side and opened it, which contained a plate of longan.

Mrs. Lu opened the longan with her fingers, revealing the flesh as white as jade: "I just went to the Queen Mother, let's teach Xiao Ting a lesson...... Hmph~ The Queen Mother looks serious, in fact, she must be very proud in her heart, and thinks that Xiao Ting will do the right thing......" said and twisted his fingers and sent them to Xu Buling's mouth.

Xu Buling's eyes were full of helplessness, and he sat up and opened his mouth to catch the dragon's eye.

"I knew at the time that it was you who did it behind your back, Xiao Ting's virtue, and he couldn't do anything about White Horse Village if he gave him a hundred guts. I'm not good at debunking......"

Broken thoughts, talking about some parents.

Mrs. Lu is widowed at home and has no children, her status is high but she can't interfere in politics, and there is only one person around her who can speak, which is inevitably a little clingy.

Although Xu Buling was always hiding, he never showed an impatient look when he was really caught, and chatted with Mrs. Lu very seriously about these trivial things: "Xiao Ting is just lacking roots, and people are not bad, he is the queen mother's own nephew, and the queen mother naturally favors him a little ......"

While speaking, Xu Buling sat up, raised his hand to press Mrs. Lu's shoulder, and gently rubbed and twisted slowly.

Mrs. Lu's back straightened, and the longan in her hand almost fell to the ground, but she quickly recovered as before, turned her head and glanced at it, and after making sure that there was no crooked thought in Xu Buling's eyes, she accepted this dedication quite satisfactorily:

"By the way, on the first day of the lunar month, the concubines in the palace went to Qujiangchi to enjoy the snow, and a few ladies from Kuishou Street inevitably followed, and I had to go too. I can't talk to them, you come with me......"

"A bunch of women's families, I'm going to do something in the past, those official ladies are just as ...... as"

"Not happy?"

Mrs. Lu turned her head, face to face, a little closer, and then slightly separated, revealing a little dissatisfaction.

Xu Buling could say anything, and nodded: "Aunt Lu's words, I will definitely listen to ......"

"Hmph~"

Only then did Mrs. Lu retract her dissatisfied expression.

chattered and chattered until a box of longan was eaten by two people, and Mrs. Lu stopped her words and got up to admonish:

"Rest well, don't go out again, if I hear your good name......"

"When I hear my good name again, I stew myself in an iron pot!"

Xu Buling nodded seriously.

Mrs. Lu pursed her red lips and put away the food box: "Don't lie to me anymore." He walked out slowly.

Xu Buling breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his head and lay down again, but he didn't feel sleepy.

After a moment, Xu Buling suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised his hand to his nose and sniffed it, and raised his eyebrows lightly:

"Senshiba-sai's 'Tsukinomiya Katsura'...... How to use the same incense powder with the surname Song, is it possible that this has become popular recently? ……”

----

At the end of Kuishou Street, outside the mansion of the Li family, the Royal Forest Army arrested two 'self-assertive' doormen into the prisoner car. Dressed in cloth clothes with a gloomy face, Li Tianlu walked into a prisoner car and went to the quarry outside the city to serve as a servant.

The high-ranking families on the street have not fallen into the ground, and the people who can live on Kuishou Street, even if the Li family is at the bottom, will not be pushed to the bottom, and they may soar into the sky one day, and it is taboo to offend people for the sake of the speed of the tongue.

Gongsun Lu and Gongsun Ming, father and son, failed to help the Li family last night, and they must come over to escort them in person today, and apologize to the Li family by the way, so as not to pull the hatred on their heads.

Gongsun Lu took it upon himself last night to run to Li Tianlu as a pawn, but he caused a commotion, but Gongsun Ming was not lightly angry, and he was still chattering and scolding at this time:

"You eyeless thing, I heard that something was wrong with White Horse Village, and you still put your face up. Didn't you eat enough last time? So many of the people under your command eat dry food? I have to show my face......"

Gongsun Lu was angry in his eyes, but he was helpless, and bowed down and said, "The child knows his mistakes...... The Li family has always befriended the Quartet and behaved in a low-key manner, I thought it was an idle errand, so I went by myself, how could I have thought that the Li family's head hit Xiao Xiang's knee, and the Li family is so devoid of conscience......"

Gongsun Ming touched his beard and pondered: "Last night was not like Xiao Xiang's style, the Xiao family didn't look down on the Li family at all, if Xiao Xiang was angry because he knew about the White Horse Village, he could let Xiao Gongzi take the soldiers and horses over to search, there was no need to go deep into the tiger's den......"

Gongsun Lu also felt that Xiao Ting's appearance last night was a little strange: "Xiao Gongzi is in the capital, he has always done everything, but he doesn't do business, he was too vigorous last night, if it weren't for Xiao Xiang's guidance behind his back...... Who would that be? ”

Gongsun Ming walked back and forth with his hands behind his back: "You said that last night, there was a guest from the Xiao family, and there was a female catcher of the wolf guard?" ”

"That's right, that female catcher happened to bump into Xu Shizi in Daye Fang last time and cracked the case of illegal salt...... Hiss-"

Gongsun Ming thought of something, and his eyes were full of astonishment: "The swordsman yesterday was Xu Shizi?" This is too far-fetched, Xu Shizi is not doing serious things than Xiao Gongzi, and the last time he eliminated harm for the people, it was the reputation that your father forced on him. Besides, Xu Shizi was poisoned, so he couldn't do anything big, and there was no need to use such a big price to clean up the Li family......"

Gongsun Ming shook his head: "Fool, being an official in the capital, you have to have a long brain." ”

Gongsun Lu was slightly puzzled and got a little closer.

Gongsun Ming thought carefully for a moment, and then began to deduce it seriously: "Let's assume first, it was Xu Shizi last night. The Xu family and the Xiao family don't care about a Li family at all. Last night, Xiao Ting and Xu Buling conspired to go to the White Horse Village without the help of their homes, what was the purpose? ”

"What is it?"

"Fame."

Gongsun Ming shook his head: "The most important thing for the children of the family is reputation, Xu Buling and Xiao Ting are both the sons of the capital, no matter if they are young, they are about to reach the age of the crown, if they are worthy of the reputation of the 'sons of the gentlemen', how will they govern in the future?" Xiangye must be looking for a chance to let them wash his name. ”

Gongsun Lu touched his chin, as if he had an understanding: "There is some truth...... If that's the case, why didn't Xu Shizi show up last night? ”

"Alas!"

Gongsun Ming's face was full of hatred: "Make the best use of things, today the whole dynasty is praising Xiao Gongzi for being upright, this is Xiao Gongzi's reputation."

After a few days, I will find another opportunity to pull Xu Shizi out, in addition to the reputation of eliminating harm for the people, I can also have a big reputation of 'having a city government in my heart and not vain fame', killing two birds with one stone. If Xu Shizi had jumped out last night, there would have been no matter about Xiao Gongzi. ”

Gongsun Lu suddenly realized and nodded: "...... What if the swordsman last night wasn't Xu Shizi? ”

"Baby, you're still too young."

Gongsun Ming touched his beard and chuckled: "If you are really just a guest of the Xiao family, and you didn't show up yesterday, then you won't show up in the future, and it is impossible to fight for that reputation with Xu Shizi."

As long as the news spreads, this matter was not done by Xu Shizi, but by Xu Shizi. ”

"What if Xu Shizi doesn't admit it?"

"Xu Shizi will definitely not admit such a good thing, and the more he does not admit it, the more he will 'not value his name'. The Xiao family has some relationship with King Su, and if they can sit back and enjoy their success, they will naturally acquiesce. ”

After Gongsun Ming pondered carefully, he was shocked: "Daddy is really thoughtful...... So what do we do? ”

"Let the news fly for a while."

Gongsun Ming looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and sighed loudly: "When the time is almost right, let's take the news first!" Xu Shizi and Xiao Xiang saw that their father was so good at doing things, even if they didn't say it, they would remember the good of their father in their hearts, which is called the way of being an official. ”

"Oh...... The child understood......"
