Chapter 708: The Old Things Are Revisited

Sitting in the spacious hall, Wu Chengsi had to compare this place with the mansion just now, and finally came to a conclusion in his heart. Although Wu Sansi's house was also magnificent, it was much worse than here, and he could conclude that the place he was in now was definitely not a place to meet important guests here.

Sure enough, the majesty of the heavenly family cannot be desecrated. This is the scene of this Xiuwen Workshop, I don't know what kind of scene it will be in the East Palace! I really don't know where Li Xian got such a lot of concentration to resist the huge temptation of the East Palace!

Although this Xiuwen Workshop is almost at the entrance of the palace, no matter who it is, it will probably move to the East Palace without hesitation!

He barely touched the tea brought by the maid, and only thought about what he should say. He is in his early thirties, not young, if he can't start at such an age, he almost doesn't want to make any big gains in his career. He is ambitious, but he himself knows that he is not the kind of person who is extremely talented, otherwise he would have been admitted to the Jinshi examination, and he would not have to go sideways at all.

When Li Xian walked in, what he saw was Wu Chengsi sitting there frowning and thinking. Although he knew that he had such a cousin, it was the first time he had seen it up close, so he had to take a good look. In the end, he smiled in his heart - isn't it just the same nose, two eyes and one mouth, looking like an ordinary person, at most a little gloomy.

He coughed lightly, and at this moment, Wu Sansi, who was still sitting there contemplatively, stood up in a hurry and stepped forward to salute respectfully. There is a way to stretch out your hand and not hit the smiling person, although Li Xian always has a sense of rejection towards the relatives of the martial family, but at this time, he nodded with a smile and said hello, and after sitting down, he also said a few words of greeting. I have to guess the meaning of others.

What Wu Chengji said was not very unexpected to him, after being jerky at the beginning, he began to show loyalty to the convenience, nothing more than saying that as a member of the Wu family, he was grateful for the kindness of Empress Taishang, so he wanted to repay and so on. At the beginning, how the Wu Chengqing brothers were demoted out of Beijing, Li Xian was clear in his heart, so he was very weak about this kind of ambiguous words. In addition, in the face of someone who did not need to be disguised, he simply yawned.

Li Xian, it's okay not to yawn. With a dozen yawns, Wu Chengji felt that he had just said the wrong thing, and secretly regretted it. Most people in the world like to listen to good words, and he still remembers that the last time he saw Empress Wu, he wept bitterly and expressed his regret on behalf of his dead father, but although Empress Wu didn't say anything on his face, he also rewarded him with a brocade robe when he left. At least a few words of encouragement without being salty. However, Li Xian didn't answer at all!

Seeing Wu Chenghe's face changing, Li Xian didn't bother to guess what people were going to say, so he simply said bluntly: "Cousin Chenghe, you might as well open the skylight and say something, you don't need to talk about him left and right." However, I said ugly things ahead, if you want to be an official, you must at least show the corresponding talent. I don't like people to show loyalty for any reason, loyalty is not something that can be relied on for a lifetime. Only it can be used for a lifetime. ”

Feeling that his words were still a little inadequate, he added coldly: "I never expect my subordinates to be loyal, loyalty lies in people's hearts, probably no one in the world can boast of controlling people's hearts, I naturally don't think highly of myself." If my heir and cousin had just come to show his loyalty to me, then there would be no need. I still have the emperor's fifth brother above me, and the emperor's fifth brother has my father and mother above me, right? ”

When he said this, Wu Chenghe's back was cold. Many things can only be thought about in the heart, how can there be such a casual outside as Li Xian? And he said it so clearly, and even said with a big grin that the so-called loyalty was originally an ethereal thing! Thinking that he thought he had thought it through before, he suddenly regretted that his intestines were blue.

Merely. Since it's here. He was really unwilling to go back empty-handed, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not good at reading." I don't have any other great skills, but I am good at calculations, especially numbers, and I want to get a position in the household department. I don't have the luxury of hoping that it will become a big career in the future, but I don't want to mix in this Luoyang City as a relative for the rest of my life. Although I, Wu Chenghe, am not a man who stands up to the sky, I don't want to live in such a mess. ”

These words made Li Xian feel a little touched. However, what he thought about was that the Wu family was only demoted before, but they were not exiled, if Wu Chenghei was really exiled to a place like Hainan for a few years, would he still have the backbone he has now? It's just that there is no assumption about this kind of thing, since his trajectory has changed, then Wu Chengsi is naturally the same.

"Since Cousin Cheng is telling the truth, then I will not fool you with any vagueness. Since you have entered the sixth grade of Tongzhilang, it is not unreasonable to enter the household department. Tomorrow you will go to the household department to take up a post, if there is no mistake within a month and the household department official approves, then you will be officially appointed. ”

Although Wu Chengsi said that he was asking for an official with a clear heart, he didn't expect Li Xian to agree so happily. You must know that Wu Sansi has been in Luoyang for so many years as a prince of the first grade, and he is still a foreigner of Shangshu Province who is too idle to be idle, and he can only go to the court as a ninth counselor, so he can actually get a real job?

Although he has not yet arrived, he is fully confident that he will be able to do it in a month's time. For this day, he has been preparing for a long time, and he will never be inferior to those old officials who are old in this way. So, he immediately bowed deeply and said: "Your Highness's grace from heaven and earth, I will definitely remember it in my heart, so as to repay ...... later."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xian interrupted with a smile: "There is no need to report later, you just don't let the Duzhi Dilang from the household department come to me to complain." For the sake of you, you are a martial artist, and you have this heart, so I will give you a chance, and I will not interfere in other things. If you don't succeed after this month, it's your own problem, and you don't have to blame me. ”

If it was said that Wu Chengji had thought that Li Xian had a clear understanding before, then at this moment, he didn't know how to judge this eccentric prince at all, so he had to agree. Knowing that today's visit had come to an end, he was about to leave, but suddenly stopped by the door.

"There's one thing I don't know whether I should say to Your Highness. This morning, my cousin Sansi summoned all the children of the martial arts family to train them together, and generally constrained everyone to keep a low profile, which is nothing to say. I just heard that when my grandmother was there that day, she used to love a handmaiden named Hui Niang, but I didn't see it this time, so I mentioned it by the way, but my cousin didn't answer at all. When I came out, I asked a maid and said that my grandmother was gone when she died......"

It's okay not to mention Wu Huiniang, but when he mentioned this matter, Li Xian suddenly felt that his head was big for a while. At the beginning, he judged that Wu Huiniang was likely to be the illegitimate daughter of his aunt Mrs. Korea, and he had also quietly tried it with his grandmother. Who knows that my grandmother is old and strong, and when she mentions this matter, she will talk about him left and right. And when she died, it was even more suspenseful, and after searching the whole family up and down, there was no such person as Wu Huiniang!

Whether it was the grandmother who had already arranged it, or Wu Huiniang ran away by herself, or who hid the person, in short, it is unknown. Although he believed in his grandmother's uniqueness and decisiveness, he leaned towards the first possibility.

After all, even if he is cranky, then he is also the granddaughter of his grandmother, although it is a granddaughter who cannot be exposed. As for how people were treated as maids by Wu Sansi in the first place, he really couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't think about it.

"Cousin Lao Chenghei is bothered."

He nodded lightly, and didn't say that this matter was very important, nor did he say that this matter was not important, so he sent Wu Chengji out of the hall. Of course, he didn't need to go to deliver the rest of the way, and he had his own butler to deliver people to the door. However, Wu Chenghe's request for an official was just an expected thing for him, and he was suddenly provoked by Wu Huiniang, which was a headache for him.

Li Xian fell in love with Wu Huiniang at the beginning, and he also tried to go to Mrs. Rongguo to say something, but was rejected. It seems that Li Shen, the king of Ji, also vaguely mentioned it later, saying that Li Zhen, the king of Yue, liked Wu Huiniang's appearance quite much, and once had crooked thoughts. And since those two incidents, his old grandmother will never take that girl with her as long as she goes out, and she has only seen him a few times when he entered the house.

With this in mind, when he returned to the women, he was still a little absent-minded. And Helan Yan heard that Wu Chengsi came to ask for an official in an open manner, so he inevitably muttered a few words there, saying something cheeky. The others listened too much to her babbling, so they laughed as if they hadn't heard anything. As for the hesitation on Li Xian's face, no one took it to heart.

After all, who doesn't have any thoughts these days?

Among the four sons of Empress Wu, Li Dan is now over seventeen years old, and it stands to reason that he can build a house and live separately, but he still does not shy away from living in Li Xian's house. First, it is lively here, and the sisters-in-law are good to him; The second reason is that because of the rich collection of books, he can enjoy it to his heart's content. It's just that, although he likes to read, he always has to learn some other skills according to the rules.

For example, on this day, at dusk and sunset, he dragged his body into the Dingding Gate of Luoyang City. If he could, he swore that he would never hunt for the rest of his life. I really don't know what's so fun about this hunting, so that the family has a large group of people from top to bottom, even his sister Li Lingyue is so enthusiastic.

Incidentally, his mother, Empress Wu, was also a good archer with a very high head.

After a long day of hunting and finding nothing, he caught one of his biggest prey on the path back to the city. Not a hare pheasant or boar or something vulgar, but a woman. That's right, Li Dan, who had just been crowned the prime minister, Li Dan, who was most afraid of seeing blood, was unfortunately prey to a woman who was in the bushes on his first hunt, and shot an arrow by mistake, and had to be brought back for treatment by burning the fire. Therefore, even when he entered the city gates, he was still depressed.
