Chapter 389: Refusal
The air seemed to be a little stagnant for a moment, and the four of them looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while, and then they could continue to talk.
Rong glanced around, pursed his lips and got up and said, "This tea is cold, I'll change another pot." β
Yin Sheng looked at Lu Chengyan with a firm look on his face, slowly stood up and said, "Young lady, don't be busy, we're ready to go." β
Master and Lu Chengyan also stood up.
Yin Sheng looked at Lu Chengyan and said seriously: "You can think about it again." After that, without waiting for Lu Chengyan to refute, he directly raised his hand to stop him, and then walked out with his master one after another.
Lu Chengyan had no choice but to go out with them and send them out of the Lu Mansion.
Rong gently tidied up the cup and teapot and placed them on the table next to him, and then sat down slowly in the chair.
Being recruited by the crown prince seems to be expected, after all, no matter how you look at it, they firmly support the crown prince as the next Ming monarch. And to put it mildly, the current strength and ability of their Lu Mansion, including the talent center, should not be underestimated.
The crown prince and the third prince are currently evenly matched, with five or five points. Therefore, a strong help is urgently needed, and the Lu Mansion is the best choice, Lu Chengyan has played an important role in the previous incidents, it is normal for the prince to want to win over, and it is normal for him to promise an official position.
It's justβ
"Squeak", the door of the hall was pushed open, Lu Chengyan walked forward, took off Rong Xiao's big hat from the screen over there, and after helping Rong put it on gently, he held her hand and said softly: "Let's go back to our own yard?" β
Rong nodded lightly, clenched Lu Chengyan's hand, and the two walked out of the hall.
The snow had stopped temporarily, but the road surface that had been cleared in the morning had accumulated another layer at this time, and Lu Chengyan led Rong gently and carefully walked forward step by step.
"Husband, I agree with your decision, and I don't think it's the right time." Rong whispered softly, looking up at Lu Chengyan, the hood slowly slid down the bun, revealing a few simple velvet flowers on the bun.
In the snowy scenery of heaven and earth, Rong is like a blooming snow and cold plum, and in those clear and clean eyes, there is firmness and courage, and there is no hesitation.
I believe in you, and I respect your decision, even if you will be hated and punished for it, I will stand by your side without hesitation.
"......Gently" Lu Chengyan called in a low voice, then grabbed Rong Gentle's hand tightly and said, "Gently, thank you." "Whether it is Lao Dingguo Gong or his father, they all want him to take the official career, and those who take the official career can shine on the lintel in the future, so that the Lu family can prosper again.
But at this time, taking the official path means that you will completely stand in line, the prince's honor and disgrace are closely related to you, if you win the bet, then everyone will be happy, if you lose, it will be the consequence of killing the nine clans.
So at this time, he and Rong Qingqing's thoughts are the same, not the time.
After returning to his yard, Lu Chengyan first added some silver carbon to the stove, then boiled hot water, and pulled Rong to sit down gently.
"I'll take this big pot later, the temperature is still low." Lu Chengyan said, tightened Rong lightly, then held her palm-sized face, and said with a slight smile: "It's still Mrs. who understands me best." β
Rong pursed his lips lightly and smiled: "Don't worry, I guess your refusal should be expected by the prefect." β
Lu Chengyan nodded, when he sent Governor Yin out, Governor Yin persuaded him two more words, and finally said that he would go sooner or later anyway.
He replied, "Then I'll go later."
The situation was uncertain and his foundation was shaky.
Besides, there is also the person in the high position, and their Emperor Majesty now recognizes him, but if he directly follows the crown prince to Song'an County, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, whether it is for the prince or him, it will be a hundred harms but no benefits.
"It was indeed expected by Governor Yin, but he didn't expect me to be so opposed, and I didn't bother to talk to him." Lu Chengyan raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
Rong chuckled softly, Lu Chengyan's current appearance is obviously a little disgusted with Governor Yin's too much admitting death, thinking that since it is the prince's team, the standing team on the surface and the standing team in the secret are actually the same, and they are the same in everyone's eyes.
But in fact, there is still a difference, it can only be said that the authorities of the Yin Governor's Mansion are fascinated, and they can't think clearly for a while, but if you think about it later, it is estimated that it will be clear.
.
Yin Sheng sat in the carriage, his eyes slightly closed, and seemed to be taking a nap.
The coachman drove the car and rushed all the way to the government.
After about a quarter of an hour, the master suddenly approached the coachman and said a place, and the coachman immediately turned around, and turned from the street into a side road, and then into an alley.
There was a carriage parked in the alley at this time, which looked simple and ordinary, but the faintly hung royal sign still made people dare not make a mistake.
The two carriages slowly leaned together, and Yin Sheng finally opened his eyes, opened the window and looked at the opposite side.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Yin Sheng called softly.
Xiao Yunjing opened the window, looked at Yin Sheng and said with a smile: "Governor Yin, what did Lu Chengyan say over there?" β
Yin Sheng opened his mouth, sighed, and nodded.
He said no...... I don't really understand why he refused, isn't that a good thing? Even if you don't talk about me, just his father, and the princess's mansion, who doesn't know that the Lu Mansion is with us, so why avoid suspicion? Yin Sheng said helplessly.
The master was silent on the side, but in fact, he could figure it out from another direction, that is, Lu Chengyan didn't want to be an official at all.
Xiao Yunjing seemed to have expected it, and the smile on his face did not change at all.
"It is estimated that Lu Chengyan has his own considerations, but since he doesn't go, he has to change someone I can trust, and I have to trouble Governor Yin to find it on his behalf." Xiao Yunjing said.
Yin Sheng frowned and said, "Why don't I try again?" β
Xiao Yunjing immediately shook his head and said: "No, it's not a matter of face, it's that since he refused, there must be a reason for him to refuse." Just as Governor Yin said, the Lu Mansion seems to be under my command in every way, but it is not, which may also be one of the reasons why my father trusts him more......"
Yin Sheng frowned when he heard this.
"So I still have to find a new candidate for me, and if I go after the year, I won't be able to come back for three months." Xiao Yunjing said, looking apologetic, and turned his head slightly.
Song Yumo smiled slightly, looked at him with firm eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'll wait for you to come back." β
Yin Sheng sighed and said, "Don't worry, the prince, there is still a backup candidate." β
Xiao Yunjing nodded, then slowly lowered the window, and the carriage moved slowly, and soon left the alley.
