Chapter 231: How Do You Want Me to Treat You
The bird's nest porridge is stewed sweetly and softly.
Nan Baoyi lowered her eyelashes, and her heart was shaken.
β¦β¦
Nan Baoyi lived in this private house for many days.
Gu Chongshan seemed to be quite idle, and would return here every evening to teach her to play the huqin and teach her various rhythms, but she could see from the faces of the accompanying eunuchs that Shengjing City was not peaceful.
Come to think of it, the second brother must be for her, and he is stirring up the city.
Spring nights are quiet.
Under the corridor, Nan Baoyi was adjusting the strings, thinking about things.
Gu Chongshan was eating tea, and seemed to mention it casually: "There will be ten more days, and it will be spring." Guess who are the examiners this year? β
Nan Baoyi was careless: "Mrs. Jiang Jiang Hua must be one of the examiners, and he has to be the examiner for all years." β
Gu Chongshan bowed, "The remaining two are Taishi Lingshu Changyong and Xiao Yi." β
Nan Baoyi was surprised.
The imperial examination, held every three years, is an important way for scholars to enter the officialdom.
The examiner is generally served by knowledgeable high-ranking officials and magnates, and the second brother did not serve as the examiner in his previous life, so why did he mix up the examiner in this life?
In his previous life, he had participated in the imperial examination, but in this life, he had never even participated in the imperial examination, not even a showman, which subject should he take the exam?
As if seeing her doubts, Gu Chongshan explained lightly: "He made a lot of trouble in the city in order to find you. In order to appease him, the emperor sent him to serve as the chief examiner of the Spring Examination. Come to think of it, it also has the meaning of balancing the Jiang family. β
Nan Baoyi is enlightened.
Taishi Lingshu Changyong, the father of King Cheng's side concubine Shuli, is also an important figure in Jiang Taifu's faction.
If you don't want the Jiang family faction to control the imperial examination, you have to make a fuss about the arrangement of the chief examiner.
Old emperor, this is to balance the court with the power of the ministers.
She played the huqin.
Now, she can play a full tune.
She looked down at the strings, and the events of Yulou Spring that day came to her mind.
She and Nan Yan had to deal with the Jiang family, and they had written a way to break the enemy in the palm of each other's hands.
Nan Yan wrote, Chunqiu.
What she wrote is also a spring slur.
Jiang Taifu Jiang Hua has served as the chief examiner of the Spring Festival seven or eight times, and there are countless protΓ©gΓ©s admitted by him, almost monopolizing half of the court, not counting the officials who are released.
This is also one of the reasons why the Jiang family is powerful.
And to say that there is no cat in it, she doesn't believe it.
Use this spring festival to find evidence of Jiang Taifu's favoritism and fraud, and you can drag him down from the position of Taifu.
Without his care, what would Jiang Guifei have?
But to make a fuss about the spring, she first had to get out of here.
The song came to an abrupt end.
She put down the huqin and said solemnly: "Nine thousand years old, I can't stay here anymore." β
Gu Chongshan was eating tea.
He looked indifferent and ignored her.
Nan Baoyi got up and bowed to him, "I didn't hurt my life to Jiang Guifei, and even taught me the rhythm and huqin, I am very grateful to be nine thousand years old." It's just that I still have important things to do, so I'll leave first. β
After saying that, he hurried towards the end of the small courtyard.
Gu Chongshan covered the tea cup.
He stared at Nan Baoyi's back, his narrow eyes gradually cold.
He said in a deep voice: "If you want to go, what do you think this place is?" β
Nan Baoyi didn't look back at all.
Gu Chongshan's face turned a little colder, and the green jade tea cup was thrown out of his hand and smashed at the girl's feet, and the tea splashed on her skirt.
Nan Baoyi turned around.
The moonlight was quiet, and she stared at Gu Chongshan, her body tense, like a young beast ready to fight.
"Don't go."
Gu Chongshan emphasized word by word.
Nan Baoyi smiled, "Nine thousand years old, I can't stay here for the rest of my life, I always have to go home." I know that you are not easy to explain to Jiang Guifei, so it is better for you to tell her that I have suffered a lot at your hands these days, and as a cooperation, when I appear in front of outsiders, I will make myself look haggard and pitiful. Come to think of it, she will have balance in her heart. β
"You think I kept you here to handle her errands?"
"It's not just to deal with her, but also to blackmail the second brother."
Dark clouds cover the moon.
Nan Baoyi stood in the shadow of the peach blossom tree, her expression calm and calm.
Gu Chongshan's background is pitiful, but his personality is really bad.
If it weren't for the second brother's dislike of her in his previous life, she would have wondered if this guy who took her in in her previous life and dragged her through the alleys with blood was also to threaten the second brother with her.
The wind is blowing.
The lanterns under the eaves were blown out by the wind one after another.
Gu Chongshan's face was shrouded in darkness, and it was even more terrifying than usual.
His red lips pursed into a cruel arc, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Don't go." β
I want her to stay in this private house.
She stayed here, and when he returned from the palace, he would have a kind of anticipation of going home.
She's not here, it's just an empty mansion, no different from the palace.
Nan Baoyi looked at him.
The current Gu Chongshan's aura is the same as when he was angry in his previous life.
It was she who made it up, and she forgot how terrible Gu Chongshan was when she was angry.
She subconsciously backed away.
Gu Chongshan had already stepped down the steps, and walked towards her step by step with a calm face, "Don't go." β
Nan Baoyi swallowed.
She turned suddenly, and made a quick run towards the gate at the end of the courtyard.
But Gu Chongshan is faster!
The figure appeared behind her in an instant, and he grabbed her arm and threw her to the ground!
"I said, don't go!"
He paused word by word, and his face was extremely cruel.
Nan Baoyi's heart was beating extremely fast, staring at him in a daze, and she kept retreating to the corner.
Gu Chongshan squatted down in front of her, stretched out his hand to hold her cheek, and said in a dumb voice: "As smart as you, you probably have already guessed my secret, right?" β
Nan Baoyi bit her lip and didn't say anything.
"When I was a child, I came to the Nanyue Imperial Palace, and the little palace maid who served me looked like you. She once smiled and said that she would serve me for the rest of her life. But when I became a eunuch, she was the first to leave me. She bribed the lady in charge with money, and she was successfully transferred to the more promising Shangyi Bureau. β
Gu Chongshan pulled his lips, his smile was a little weird, "Guess, how did I treat her after I gained power?" β
Nan Baoyi whispered: "Kill her." β
"Yes, kill her. She knelt at my feet and kowtowed desperately, unbuttoned her clothes, and cried out to be my counterpart. But at that time, I didn't care about her anymore. I ordered her to be burned and her ashes scattered in the corners of the palace. β
Gu Chongshan tilted his head, his fingertips were like cold poisonous snakes, and slowly outlined Nan Baoyi's eyebrows, "So, how do you want me to treat you?" β
