Chapter 117: Misunderstanding
Chapter 117: Misunderstanding
Seeing that the officials from the capital all showed deep helplessness and guilt, the banquet suddenly fell silent.
Even the sound of breathing was much lighter.
Song Li quietly glanced at Zhao Fuyin, Zhao Fuyin had been paying attention to the situation on Song Li's side, and when he saw Song Li's eyes on him, he quickly looked at Song Li as well.
Song Li glanced at Zhao Fuyin, only to see Zhao Fuyin nodding at her without moving, and he didn't know if he understood what she meant.
Zhao Fuyin suddenly stood up from the banquet and said bitterly: "Your Highness is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son, this is the honor of the people, and Weichen is incompetent and can only offer a thousand taels of silver to solve problems for His Highness." ”
"Good!" Seeing that Zhao Fuyin understood what she meant, Song Li immediately clapped his hands and applauded him, "Lord Zhao cares about the people, and spends a lot of money just so that the people can fill their stomachs, it is really worthy of being a parent official, Lord Zhao's behavior will definitely tell the emperor truthfully after returning to Beijing!" ”
Zhao Fuyin's face was dejected, and he waved his hand weakly, "This little thing is nothing to worry about, as long as the people can eat enough, Weichen will be satisfied!" ”
Looking at the two of them singing and harmonizing, Chu Tianfeng showed a meaningful smile on his face.
"Isn't King Pingyang setting an example?"
Song Li gave Zhao Fu Yin a look, and then looked at King Pingyang.
I saw that the old face of the king of Pingyang was suddenly colorful and extremely good-looking.
Zhao Fu Yin, as a magistrate, took the initiative to take out a thousand taels of silver, how could he fall as a prince, if this was spread, wouldn't it ruin his reputation in Jinyang.
He pondered for a while, and quickly said: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are really helpless, but the poor people are also very sad about this, this king took out 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 taels of gold, and negotiated with the nearby grain merchants to help the emperor's nephew help the surrounding people through this difficulty!" ”
His righteous and awe-inspiring words immediately led to applause in the audience.
There is no possibility of taking back what is said.
The corners of Song Li's mouth were slightly raised, all she wanted was to draw the blood of this old fox.
After King Pingyang made his statement, everyone at the banquet also stood up and said that they would advance and retreat with Chu Tianfeng and other officials from the capital.
After a while, the banquet became a donation bureau.
Everyone in the table expressed their hearts to some extent.
Chu Tianfeng looked at the people at the banquet, his mind changed slightly, and then he continued: "This palace will not let you contribute in vain, whoever donates 12,000 gold, this palace will order people to write it down in the book one by one, and in the future, those who have obtained fame in the clan can use this to advance to the next level, and the tax of businessmen will be halved for one year, and those who serve in the army will be added one class!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately set off a lot of waves.
Donations are also starting to increase.
It is not uncommon to buy official positions, but there are dangers.
Now as long as you donate thousands of gold to benefit your children and grandchildren in the future, why not.
Looking at the crowd that was surging to sign up, the smile in Song Li's eyes became deeper and deeper.
"Doesn't the son of the world mean one or two?"
Thinking of Chu Zeting, who was left to the side by her, Song Li suddenly became interested.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Chu Zeting's face, although he is a prince, he has many heirs of the prince of Pingyang, and he has not saved much when he is used to being lavish on weekdays, but if he doesn't donate some, he can't get by on face.
"Donate, why don't you don't donate!"
Chu Zeting glared at Song Li fiercely and quickly got up and left.
Looking at Chu Zeting who threw off his sleeves and left, Song Li only felt that his mood was unusually beautiful.
Before the banquet came to an end, Song Li left.
She returned to the restaurant, and before she entered the room, she felt a familiar smell.
"Why are you here?"
She walked into the room, looked at Gu Shaoqing who was sleeping on her bed, raised her hand to wake him up, and asked curiously.
"I can't come and see you if I don't have time?"
Gu Shaoqing opened his eyes and glanced at her, then turned over and said angrily.
Song Li pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around and came to the main hall.
"Pingyang Palace's Mansion is lively at this time, don't you want to go and see it?"
She walked to the main hall, poured a glass of water, and moistened her throat.
"What does it matter to me whether it's hot or not."
There was a soft sound in the bedroom, and then Gu Shaoqing also came out.
He took Song Li's cup, poured himself a glass of water, and said slowly.
"If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, say, what are you looking for me?"
Song Li glanced at Gu Shaoqing, who had used the cup he had drunk, and raised his legs to sit down in front of the chair.
"No, it's not." Gu Shaoqing frowned, and said in an unhappy tone: "I haven't seen you actually alienated from me for a few days?" ”
Song Li smiled, thinking that the commander of the punishment army that Chu Rong told her was actually Gu Shaoqing, his mind sank slightly.
She has never been estranged from Gu Shaoqing, but Gu Shaoqing is no longer the original Gu Shaoqing, he is a member of the royal family and obeys Emperor Tianxuan.
And she is the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion that the emperor regards as a thorn in the side, and the position of the two of them has shown that they can no longer return to the original two little guesses.
If Emperor Tianxuan made a move on the Guogong Mansion one day, Gu Shaoqing would beg for mercy for her, but in the end, he would still obey Emperor Tianxuan's orders, because he had royal blood on his body.
"Little Ion, give me something."
Seeing that Song Li didn't speak, Gu Shaoqing suddenly sighed and stretched out his hand to her.
Song Li slowly took off the mask and fake face, revealing her original appearance, she naturally knew what Gu Shaoqing was talking about, she looked at Gu Shaoqing intently and shook her head seriously and said, "I didn't." ”
"Little Ion!"
Gu Shaoqing accentuated his tone a little.
"See, it's not that I'm estranged from you, it's that you Gu Shaoqing don't trust me anymore."
Song Li smiled, and his smile was a little sour.
When Gu Shaoqing heard this, his expression was suddenly stunned.
There was no light in the house, and in the gray environment, Song Li couldn't see Gu Shaoqing's expression very clearly.
Similarly, Gu Shaoqing couldn't see Song Li's expression clearly, and didn't know if she was serious or just joking.
"It's not that I don't trust you......"
His voice was a little hoarse, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Song Li.
"I said I didn't take it, do you believe it?"
Song Li asked with a light smile.
Gu Shaoqing's eyes were a little obscure, he didn't know whether what Song Li said was true or false, he should believe Song Li's, believe what she said.
But he hesitated.
"You really didn't take it?"
He was silent for a long time, and his heart was very uncomfortable, but he still asked this doubtful sentence.
"I thought you'd believe me."
Song Li shook his head in disappointment, and the smile on his face faded little by little.
"Small Ionic ......"
Looking at Song Li's disappointed look, Gu Shaoqing shouted in pain, but he didn't know what to say.
He knew better than anyone else about the relationship between him and Song Li, and he also knew that if the trust between the two collapsed, it would be difficult for the two to go back to before.
"That thing is indeed not in my hands, I took Jing Yan to Jingwang Mansion on the day I entered the city, but that thing has been stolen by someone first, and I can't take it out if you ask me for it."
Song Li's fingertips trembled a little, she stood with her hands in her hands to cover her slightly trembling fingers, and said casually.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Gu Shaoqing didn't notice Song Li's abnormality, he nodded at Song Li, and said apologetically.
Song Li stopped talking, and the two fell silent in an instant.
After a long time, Gu Shaoqing took the lead in breaking the silence between the two, "Xiao Ion, we will always be the closest friends!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Song Li to speak, he threw himself away.
Song Li looked at the room where she was the only one left in a moment, and the sourness in her heart kept surging.
She and Gu Shaoqing can't go back to the beginning, Gu Shaoqing has his secrets that he can't share with her, and she will have them in the future.
The two are like two straight lines, and after they intersect, they drift apart.
As soon as Gu Shaoqing came out of the restaurant, Chu Rong stopped him.
He looked at Chu Rong who was delivered to the door, his eyes sank suddenly, and he raised his hand and grabbed Chu Rong's wrist and pulled him to a secluded alley.
"Old fox, is that thing with you?"
Looking at Chu Rong's face, Gu Shaoqing thought of Song Li's disappointed appearance before, and he suddenly got angry, grabbed Chu Rong's collar and asked loudly.
"What's that?"
Chu Rong looked at Gu Shaoqing, pretending to be confused, his eyes kept flickering and asked slowly.
"You're still pretending!"
Seeing that Chu Rong didn't admit it, the fire in Gu Shaoqing's heart became more and more vigorous, and he clenched his fists and couldn't wait to punch the face of this conspiracy at any time.
"It's really mine."
Seeing Gu Shaoqing angry, Chu Rong reluctantly told the truth.
Gu Shaoqing's hand holding Chu Rong's collar tightened, and there was a fierceness in his eyes, "Give me that thing!" ”
Chu Rong pushed Gu Shaoqing away and shook his head slowly.
"What the hell do you want, old fox? Do you know that the emperor has begun to be jealous of your identity, and you will only make the emperor even more jealous of you if you bring this thing with you, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about it for the emperor's uncle! ”
"He fought hard to save you, how can you be worthy of his hard work!"
"Shaozheng has not been recognized because of your bloodline, and you have not been able to recognize your ancestors for more than ten years, and you have lived a life of licking blood from the edge of the knife at the border pass, what are you not satisfied with?"
Gu Shaoqing was pushed back by Chu Rong two steps, a strand of hair scattered on his forehead, he didn't care about his embarrassed appearance, stepped forward again and grabbed Chu Rong's collar, and scolded angrily.
"I didn't say I wasn't satisfied." Looking at Gu Shaoqing, who was crazy, Chu Rong sighed slightly, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes, "You let go of me first and listen to me." ”
Gu Shaoqing didn't let go, and kept looking at Chu Rong with deep eyes.
For so many years, it was as if he had never known the person in front of him.
"It's really here, but I'm not going to give it to you......"
As soon as Chu Rong's words came out, he was punched hard by Gu Shaoqing.
Gu Shaoqing tugged at Chu Rong's collar, his teeth clucked, and a deep killing intent suddenly emanated from his body, "You dare to say this, I will clean up the portal for Uncle Huang today and kill you!" ”
Chu Rong didn't dodge and took a solid punch from Gu Shaoqing, he raised his hand and touched his cheek, his eyes changed from his usual warmth and suddenly became dark and bloodthirsty, "Gu Shaoqing, what are you crazy about?" ”
"You don't deserve to kill me!"
"Damn, Chu Rong, your conscience was eaten by a dog, right?"
Listening to Chu Rong's arrogant words, the anger in Gu Shaoqing's heart was completely ignited.
"Gu Shaoqing, I'll say one last time, don't go crazy!"
Chu Rong was also not to be outdone, he raised his hand and grabbed Gu Shaoqing's hand that fell on his collar, and the killing intent on his body was everywhere.
The two looked at each other, and the killing intent on their bodies kept surging.
Song Li was in the restaurant, and suddenly noticed this rich murderous aura and immediately became vigilant.
She quickly came to the window and carefully identified the direction of this killing intent, ready to find out, but at this moment the killing intent disappeared.
She was confused, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.
