Chapter 197: Spreading Rumors

The general manager of the Internal Affairs Office bowed down to take the red seal, took out the red paper with the results written on it, and read aloud: "The first competitionβ€”β€”"

Li Jingshan held Ruan Mingyu's hand and unconsciously clenched it. Ruan Mingyu was caught in pain, but he endured it silently, and he didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows.

"β€”β€”Si Zhenfang's 'Hundred Flowers for Longevity' flower basket, exquisite carving, ingenious conception, win!"

Li Jingshan's gripping hand suddenly let go. Ruan Mingyu curled up his fingers and held them back.

Manager Du flipped the red paper over and said loudly: "If there is no objection, please start preparing for the second competition, which will be held in ten days!" ”

Everyone bowed and saluted, shouting "Niang Niang Chitose", sending off Lan Guifei, and leaving the Internal Affairs Mansion one after another. Yue Zangfeng walked up to Li Jingshan, looked at her fixedly, and suddenly asked, "Are you Li Zhiyuan's daughter?" ”

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, but still saluted in the same way, "It's the father." ”

"Compared to your father, your craft is still a little less skilled, but at a young age, it is really rare."

Li Jingshan was neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you Master Yue for your compliment." ”

Yue Zangfeng said: "I was originally from the word generation, in terms of seniority, you should call me an uncle." ”

Ruan Mingyu's eyebrows moved, and he was about to speak, when he saw Li Jingshan smile and said, "The ancestor went early, and we also have a relationship with the Li family. ”

Li Zhiqing, who was behind Yue Zangfeng, changed his face and scolded: "The little girl really doesn't know how to lift!" was stopped by Yue Zangfeng raising his hand, and said lightly, "No matter what, you are surnamed Li, and you are always from the Li family." I hope you don't make enemies of the Li family and harm the interests of Si Zhenfang. After all, your father was also the shopkeeper of Si Zhenfang back then. ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the hall first. Li Zhiqing flicked his sleeves heavily, snorted, and quickly followed.

Li Jingshan looked at their backs, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

Ruan Mingyu stepped forward and grabbed her hand, squeezed it into her fingers little by little, and interlocked her fingers. Seeing that she didn't react, she muttered slightly unhappily: "Yue Zangfeng, this person is really unkind, he actually pried the corner of the wall in front of me, and made him almost succeed." ”

Li Jingshan looked back and smiled, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense." I just thought, "Nanli and Beiyue", Yue Zangfeng, is worthy of the title of being on par with my father. ”

The two still walked out of the palace slowly holding hands, while softly communicating and analyzing the gains and losses of this competition. Li Jingshan is an expert, Ruan Mingyu has vision, and both of them are convinced by the judgment results. Acknowledging this jade carving, the carvers of Si Zhenfang are even better, and the victory is well deserved.

When he went out to the gate of the palace, he heard a surprise greeting from behind, "Miss Li!" How did you get into the palace? ”

Looking back, it turned out to be Chu Tiankuo who came out of the lower dynasty. The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and Chu Tiankuo learned about this competition, he comforted him a few words, and said, "Miss Li was discouraged, lost the east, and received the mulberry." I have good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?" Ruan Mingyu asked sourly, "Isn't General Chu about to be promoted again?" ”

Chu Tiankuo was canonized by the emperor as a town for meritorious service, and if he was canonized again, he would be crowned king. In the Dalang Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for sealing a king with a different surname, and Ruan Mingyu's words are clearly ridiculing Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo glanced at Ruan Mingyu, ignored it, and only smiled at Li Jingshan: "After returning to the court, I will write to the saint and ask him to reward the meritorious ministers in the counterinsurgency and the establishment of the county." Even the people who made meritorious contributions to the epidemic prevention in Xiling back then, I also sorted out the roster and sent it to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to commend it together. ”

Li Jingshan said happily, "This is great, whether it is a soldier who kills the enemy for the country or a righteous soldier who works for the benefit of the people, he should be recognized and rewarded as he deserves." ”

Chu Tiankuo reminded with a smile, "You also have one." ”

"Me?" Li Jingshan was surprised, "What did I do to be able to receive the emperor's grace?" ”

"You don't care about your safety in the nursing center, taking care of the sick day and night, how can you not be considered a meritorious person?" Ruan Mingyu responded as a matter of course, "Naturally, you should also be rewarded." ”

He looked at Chu Tiankuo with a smile, "General Chu, when the young master was in Xiling, he also contributed money and efforts to the local people, and did a lot for the local people to fight the epidemic and prevent the epidemic, should there also be a reward?" ”

Li Jingshan was blushing at the brazenness of her young master, but she didn't expect Chu Tiankuo to snort lightly, and said uncomfortably, "It's the Jingbao Pavilion that does a great deed, contributing money and goods to the local people, and broadcasting the township with a benevolent heart, and you can get the title of a benevolent businessman." ”

Li Jingshan's eyes widened, and Ruan Mingyu laughed, "Thank you, thank you, after all, from now on, our Jingbao Pavilion is also an imperial merchant canonized by the emperor." ”

Chu Tiankuo clenched his fists at them and said goodbye, "The holy decree and reward are waiting for the Ministry of Rites, and they will be issued in a few days." ”

Ruan Mingyu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, General Chu, in the future, you will get married, and the head and face jewelry for the wedding will be ordered in my Jingbao Pavilion, and I will give you a twenty-percent discount." Ouch! ”

The corners of Li Jingshan's mouth twitched, and she stepped Ruan Mingyu's toes. Chu Tiankuo said expressionlessly, "Thank you." He turned around and walked away.

Li Jingshan scolded in shame: "Where did General Chu provoke you, you iron rooster don't just give someone a set of jewelry to make Xie Yi, what else do you say!" Are you chilling? Before he finished scolding, he was hugged by Ruan Mingyu and walked in front of him, and fell into his arms unsteadily.

"I did it on purpose."

Ruan Mingyu whispered in her ear, "When I think of him once wanting to pursue you, I get angry, I just want to see him deflated." ”

Li Jingshan was speechless, and lost her temper, and stepped lightly on his toes in the middle of the night, "Childish." "90 look

Ruan Mingyu hugged her and laughed silently.

Ruan Mo drove a carriage to pick them up and stopped not far away. An iceberg had a rare tangled expression on his face, hesitating to step forward and interrupt them.

----

It was night, in the northeast corner of the capital, in the north corner of the capital, a dog barked from the back door, and a black shadow flashed into the door.

"That surnamed Li's ability, if it weren't for the fact that he happened to be tested for jade carving, and Yue Zangfeng happened to have a hand of jade carving skills. Today we don't have much chance of winning. ”

In the study, Li Zhiqing had a gloomy face and said gloomily, "Hmph, as a member of the Li family, I don't want to work for Si Zhenfang, but instead sell the master to seek glory." No, it should be a traitor! ”

"Master, since her background is not clean, it is easier to spoil her." The man whispered, "If she has a bad reputation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to enter the court." ”

Li Zhiqing hesitated: "If this is known to the palace......

"Her own family is not clean, and we are not spreading rumors." "And even if the court doesn't accept it, as long as it can disturb her mind and make her lose the next competition." Then they lost two games in a row...... They no longer had the opportunity to meddle in court affairs. The woman can clean up slowly later. ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Zhiqing's eyes, "Okay." I'll do it to you. Before the second competition, he was going to make a fuss. ”

The man retreated, and quickly disappeared into the night. Li Zhiqing stared at the lantern and said fiercely: "Since it can't be used by me, it will be destroyed." ”

----

"It turns out that she was kicked out by the Li family!"

"I heard that she is still the daughter of a criminal minister, why hasn't she been punished?"

"Also, I heard that she was divorced......"

"If you don't go to work, are you all hiding here and chewing your tongue!"

Chang Yong shouted angrily, which frightened the clerks so much that they almost jumped up, and hurriedly scattered to do their work.

"Come here," Chang Yong stopped a fellow, "where did you hear all these bastards?" ”

The guy was busy clearing himself up, "It's all from outside." Miss Li's ancestral home is the Li family in Minzhou, and everyone knows this. So when I heard it, I believed it a little......"

"What else?" Chang Yong's face darkened.

"Also, there are ......" the guy snorted: "It is said that she stole many of the secret skills of Si Zhenfang and defected to our Si Zhenfang, which is to sell and sell, sell and sell......"

"Enough!" Chang Yong let the people go and went straight to Ruan Mingyu's duty room. I saw the young owner holding a teacup, tasting this tea in a good way.

"Uncle Chang doesn't have to worry, he has his Zhang Liang plan, and I have my ladder over the wall. He dares to stink and shameless bad guy reputation, so I'll let him taste what it's like to be dirty and dirty. ”

Ruan Mingyu took a sip of tea with the tea leaves, and his eyes were sharply projected from the top of the rim of the cup, "I, Ruan Sanshao, pay the most attention to tooth for tooth and repay grievances directly." ”

---

At this time in the palace, the summer shade is beginning to grow. Concubine Lan and the four princes were walking in the imperial garden and were talking about it.

"That Li Jingshan, why is she the daughter of a criminal minister?" Lan Guifei asked suspiciously, "And those bad things that are rumored, it can't be without wind and waves, right?" ”

"Mother, whether those rumors are true or false is left to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to verify. I recently heard an interesting legend in the tea shop of the bookstore outside," the fourth prince said with a smile, "Son, I said that I would come with you to relieve your boredom?" ”

He said in a colorful voice, "In other words, the Li family in Minzhou City once suffered a disaster, and the person in charge was convicted and died......"

After a story was finished, Concubine Lan wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "God is pitiful, that child has suffered so much." After sighing for a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses, "How is this story you said so similar to the rumored life experience of Li Jingshan, but it is a completely different version, could it be ......?" ”

The fourth prince successfully provoked the suspicion of his mother, and he no longer continued to add oil and vinegar, but just smiled, "Now that the two powerhouses of Jingbao Pavilion and Si Zhenfang are competing, maybe there are those pickled things that can't hold their breath." As for what is right and what is wrong, it depends on who can come up with strong evidence. ”

Lan Guifei smiled, "A lot of nonsense is groundless, but where can people find evidence?" That's why it is said that the soft tongue is like a knife, and there is no blood in killing. ”

After speaking, he nodded thoughtfully, "If someone deliberately spreads rumors and slanders, that person is really sorry." ”

The fourth prince pulled his mother's sleeve and shook it, "So, if no one administers justice for her, won't she be wronged to death." ”

Concubine Lan nodded secretly, and said with a smile, "A small craftsman can cause many heated discussions in Jingshi, and this daughter of the Li family is really a strange woman." "I have a little more expectation for the upcoming second competition.
