Chapter 67: Truth and Lies

These words were like knives, piercing into his heart fiercely, Bu Tong's hand hidden in his sleeve slowly tightened, and his face tried to pretend to be relaxed so as not to be seen abnormally, and he gently drank a sip of tea,

"Your Highness's words are a little mean, Lord Tang is directly under His Majesty, and now he is quite favored, if these words reach his ears, it is inevitable that he will not get close to His Highness in the future, which will only increase his troubles."

Mu Hequan knew that he was speechless, and when he saw the steps, he naturally wanted to go down, "What Ah Tong said is reasonable, none of the people here today are outsiders, and they will not reach the ears of the overseer." ”

Bu Tong smiled, he had already scolded the swear words in his heart, since he realized that he liked Tang Xuanlin, he could no longer listen to others offend him, Tang Xuanlin's lost appearance when he was mentioned to the sore spot a few days ago is vivid, how can he let Mu Hequan this bastard talk nonsense?

"County Lord's Mother," Si Lin licked his lips and continued to lean over and ask,

"Lord Tang, but the old injury has recurred? You have been treating from the side until now, why is it still so serious, I am afraid that you are lying, you were still murdering and hurting people in the gatehouse of the Six Princes' Mansion earlier, but you were so ruthless, but you only called yourself sick and avoided guests in just two hours, I am afraid that others are stupid. ”

Butong looked innocent,

"I'm afraid that Lord Tang is really being treated as a fool, Lord Tang interrogated the prisoner in the newly established Beizhen Fusi, but he didn't come back until near lunch, I waited for him for most of the day, and now Lord Tang is recovering very well, and I won't need to change the medicine in a few days."

Sure enough, Si Lin and Mu Hequan all looked like they had the habit of eating flies.

Butong was very happy, and got up briskly,

"His Royal Highness's explanation is really unconvincing, Tong'er didn't go home to spread this word to make his father and mother sad, the two don't have to get up to send, the courtiers are really tired this day, so they will leave and go home to rest."

After Bu Tong finished speaking, he lifted his skirt and left in the chagrin of the two of them.

When I went back to the house, there were a lot of pretensions and horses at the door, and Bu Tongxin walked into the door and called a family member.

"There's a guest in the house? Why don't you park the wagon in the backyard and pile it up in the doorway? ”

The family members looked embarrassed, "Miss, there are too many people, the backyard can't fit anymore, and these people won't stay long before they will be driven away by adults, and they won't have time to tidy up." ”

Soon to be driven away? Ayuki was curious,

"Who are they?"

The family at the door came up mysteriously, "After the Lantern Festival, we have to prepare for the triennial spring exam. ”

Feelings are to go through the back door, Bu Tong smiled, sure enough, this kind of thing has been extended to the present, and there has never been a shortage of people who want to take shortcuts.

Chun Tao had been waiting by the door, and when she saw Butong coming back, she happily put down the snacks in her hand and ran over, "Miss, are you back?" Let's go back to the yard and change my clothes. ”

Butong took her and walked inside,

"Father is probably very troublesome now, isn't he?"

Chun Tao knew these things, and pouted and said disdainfully, "It's all officials, and the princes of the court are so ignorant, for the sake of their own unsuccessful children, they actually want to go through the back door of adults and seek the ranking of the emperor's list, how can adults be so upright and honest?" ”

Bu Tong nodded, looking at the gray-faced person in front of him walking towards him with a gift in his hand, and the two were talking about Fang Cai.

The official-looking man sighed heavily, and the family next to him spoke, full of resentment,

"Lord Nanguo is really stubborn, obviously he loves this former dynasty jade tripod very much, and his eyes have not left for a moment, but he just doesn't want to let go of his mouth to help his son, don't be angry, there will always be a way."

Former Dynasty Yuding? Sounds a little interesting, since he entered the house, how could he let it slip out, Bu Tong walked out with Chun Tao, deliberately walking slowly to attract the attention of the two.

Sure enough, the official's eyes lit up when he saw Bu Tong, and he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen the county lord Niangniang, the lady is radiant and graceful, and she is really an immortal from the sky, guarding my dynasty." ”

Damn, this person is talking nonsense, and I really haven't heard a few words about it this day.

Bu Tong circled for a moment, and had to look at him with a smile,

"This lord, why are you so polite, the courtier is just an ordinary woman, fortunately His Majesty prefers her, how can she be asked by the adult, but the courtier has never been concerned about the court, I don't know where the lord is?"

This person smiled brightly, "Your Majesty Kyoto Prefecture Yin, Su Ruihai." ”

"It turned out to be Lord Su," Bu Tong saluted, "It's the courtier's clumsy eyes." ”

It turned out that this was Su Ruihai, the incompetent and cowardly Lord Yin, with Tang Xuanlin leading Dongchang and Nanbei Fusi to sit in Kyoto City, it saved his mind, he was idle and idle on weekdays, how could he now be on the gate of the Nanguo Mansion? It seems that he was still driven away by Bu Tingyun.

Su Ruihai saw that Bu Tong was polite, and even kicked his nose and cheek, "The county lord's mother, my son Su Jie, is the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable, seeing that the spring exam is approaching, he was startled and broke his leg when he went out to talk about poetry and books with friends, and this delay took three years, this ......"

Butong, who was in the blind date market, instantly understood the hidden meaning of these seemingly beautiful words, "knowing the book" must not be learned; "Knowing etiquette" is arrogant, rude, arrogant, and domineering; As for "talking about poetry and books startled the horse", I'm afraid that I accidentally fell off my horse when I went out to have fun, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it is not broken, and most of the time I am lying at home at the moment.

Bu Tong interrupted him with a smile,

"The adult is serious, the son is full of poetry and books, and now there is more than a month left in the spring test, the son can take care of his illness, if not, the person will be carried into the Hanlin Academy, the father does not want to open this precedent, the courtiers go to ask for the adult, and the adult can return home with peace of mind."

After that, Butong smiled and looked at the brocade box that Ding was holding,

"Your Excellency, what else do you bring with you for this little thing? It is supposed to recruit good men for the country, and the bribery is definitely not done by adults, isn't it to congratulate the courtiers on being crowned? ”

As soon as Su Ruihai's mouth opened, Bu Tong blocked his words again,

"Chun Tao, accept the kindness of the adults, the adults can rest assured, the courtiers will go to find their father, this year's spring exam, Su Jie's son will be able to sit in the examination room safely."

After saying that, he turned to the direction of the backyard, and Chun Tao held back a smile and took the brocade box from the sluggish family, "Thank you, sir." ”

After that, he hurriedly followed Bu Tong, leaving Su Ruihai to look at Bu Tong's figure in place, standing at the entrance of the inner courtyard and staring.

The master and servant who were hurriedly hiding behind the rockery laughed breathlessly, and Chun Tao put down the heavy brocade box, "Miss, you are really too bad, people obviously want to find a reputation for their son, but you just want to do something else, his son's bastard style, but he is famous in Kyoto City, even if he sits in the examination room, I am afraid that he will not be able to write an article." ”

Bu Tong smiled and calmed his breath,

"I naturally know that the son of the Su family is incompetent, and I didn't promise him anything, even if his son has a broken leg, what does this have to do with entering the spring examination of the Hanlin Academy? Choosing good people for the country, the most taboo favoritism and malpractice, and the foundation is broken, how can I harm my father like this? ”

"Count you Mingli," Bu Tingyun suddenly came out from behind the rockery, and only one Chang'an was followed behind him.

"Since you know that favoritism is wrong, why do you still accept gifts from others?"

Bu Tong smiled and greeted Bu Tingyun,

"The daughter has seen her father, and the daughter listened to the master Su say that her father loves this jade tripod, since he has the heart to bring things into our family, and the things are fortunate to get the eyes of my father, I found a reason to stay, and he can't say anything."

Bu Tingyun glared at Bu Tong angrily, "What kind of bastard words, I heard it innocently, how can there be a lady from your family who asks for a congratulatory gift!" ”

Bu Tong smiled and motioned to Chun Tao to hand the things to Chang'an on the side,

"Father was too worried, and Master Su didn't say that this thing was a bribe to my father, didn't he also agree to give it to me?"

Obviously, he also hid in the back garden to avoid those people who were placed, but he was still able to teach his daughter a serious lesson, and Lord Nanguo was really "upright".

Bu Tingyun's eyes followed the brocade box to Chang'an's hand, and his face was happy for a while, but he was still hard-mouthed,

"It's not enough for you to learn this rule, so let it be."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, Chang An blinked his eyes and asked, "Then this thing, should you let your family send it back, or?" ”

Bu Tingyun's eyes looked sideways into the distance, "This cheeky one is already coming back, wouldn't it seem that the people in our house have no backbone if they are sent back?" If you take it away, it will be a waste of good things to keep it in her hands. ”

Chang An snickered, "Yes." ”

The two of them waved their sleeves and left, Bu Tong thought that Mu Hequan didn't have to believe what he said, there was no need to tell the honorable at all, so he simply took Chun Tao back to the house to make up for sleep.

This sleep came to the sky was slightly dark, Bu Tong opened his eyes, only to feel dizzy and swollen, so he got up to find water to drink, and happened to meet Bai Peony Medicine came into the door, and looked at Bu Tong with some surprise,

"I thought it was Chun Tao joking, but it turned out that she really hadn't woken up yet? Hurry up and get dressed and go to your brother's yard, Lord Tang has brought back the news. ”

Hearing Tang Xuanlin's name, Bu Tong's eyes suddenly widened, "Sister-in-law, wait for me for a while, and then go out." ”

Bu Tong simply curled up his hair, followed everyone to Bu Yiyang's courtyard, Tang Xuanlin was already sitting in the pavilion and drank two teas, and when he saw Bu Tong enter the door, he got up and saluted in a proper manner.

"I've seen the county lord's mother."

Bu Tong looked at Bu Tingyun and Mrs. Qi were there, and in Bu Yiyang's lively eyes, he stubbornly helped him up.

"You don't have to be polite, you still have injuries on your body, get up quickly, but there are clues about the eldest sister?"

Tang Xuanlin nodded lightly,

"It's already settled, the human and material evidence is there, but the county lord Niangniang met with His Royal Highness the Sixth and Lord Silin today, what did they say?"
