216, boss, you are too powerful
Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that Gu Tingjun already knew her true identity, and she was busy now, because Zeng Jian had entered Beijing.
Zeng Jian had already said that his father was going to be promoted and would enter Beijing soon, but he didn't expect the promotion of local officials to be so troublesome, and he had tossed it up to now.
As soon as he arrived in the capital, he didn't even enter the new house, so he directly found a reason to run out, and then inquired about the location of Qingxinfang.
Fortunately, Qingxinfang is now very famous in the capital, so he easily found it, Niu Haoran recognized him, and knew that this son-in-law was the younger brother of his own owner, so he greeted him personally with a smile.
Doesn't this just happen to be the emperor's departure? So he directly pointed out the box on the third floor and asked him to find Liu Jiaojiao by himself.
When Zeng Jian hurriedly went upstairs, Niu Haoran remembered that he forgot to tell Zeng Jiandong that his family had changed appearance now, but he didn't hurry up to tell the other party, but he felt that this seemed to be quite interesting.
I have to say that Niu Haoran, who seems to be loyal, actually has some bad taste in his bones.
When Zeng Jian pushed open the door of the box and saw that there was only a noble-looking boy and a handsome little girl inside, his first reaction was that he had made a mistake in the box.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I went to the wrong box!" He hurriedly apologized and turned to leave, but a familiar voice suddenly sounded, and his footsteps stopped in an instant.
"Zeng Jian? When did you come to the capital? ”
The voice...... He heard it right, it was his boss's voice!
But when he looked back, he didn't find Liu Jiaojiao's figure in the box, so he couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "I should have heard it right, right?" It's the boss's voice.,Could it be because I want to see the boss so much.,So I'm hallucinating? ”
Liu Jiaojiao's ears are very good, even if his voice is very low, he can hear it clearly, and he laughs out loud.
She walked over, deliberately patted him on the shoulder, and teased: "I haven't seen him for so long, why are you still stupid, and you even doubt your own ears?" ”
She originally wanted to say stupid and cute, but she was too lazy to explain this too modern language, so she simply changed it to "stupid".
Zeng Jian turned his head slowly, with a ghostly expression, and was stunned for a while before he asked in disbelief, "Boss?" ”
"I'm still not used to you calling me that, but I'm right." Liu Jiaojiao smiled sweetly at him.
"Oh my God! Boss, what's wrong with you? How did you change a person? ”
"There are too many rights and wrongs in the capital, and my face is a little too prominent, so I deliberately did something to change my appearance when I went to Beijing."
"It's my boss, it's amazing! I can't tell it's fake at all! How about you teach me? ”
"Hehe, teach you how to harm others? Dream! ”
"Don't, boss, I'm obedient now, my mother thinks I'm in trouble, if I hadn't forced me to die, she would have been ready to invite a Taoist priest to my house to exorcise evil spirits!"
Gu Tingfeng, who was left out in the cold, looked at the familiar appearance of the two, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably unhappy, coughed deliberately, and said, "Jiaojiao, who is this?" ”
Before Liu Jiaojiao could reply, Zeng Jian turned his head to look at him, his eyes were guarded and wary, and then he turned his head to look at Liu Jiaojiao again, and asked, "Boss, is he your brother?" Have you changed your appearance too? ”
Liu Jiaojiao looked at him like a fool, "You're not stupid, you're really stupid, my brother has no relatives and no reason in the capital, do you need to change your appearance?" He is the third prince of today! ”
That's right, Gu Tingfeng, who had already left and politely closed the box door when he left, didn't know which tendon was wrong, he came back again.
The emperor's only younger brother, the third prince Gu Tingfeng?
Zeng Jian was as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted Gu Tingfeng and said: "The little one doesn't know the identity of the prince, he offended the prince, and please don't blame the prince!" ”
Although his father is about to be promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department, no matter how big the official is, he is only an official, where can he be compared with the prince? What's more, his father has just entered Beijing and has not officially taken office, if he offends the prince at this time, his father will definitely kill his relatives and clean up the door.
Even if it was on Liu Jiaojiao's face, Gu Tingfeng would not blame him, not to mention that he was a generous person himself, so he casually raised his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and this king will not blame you." ”
"Little thank you, Lord Wang!" Zeng Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his head to look at Liu Jiaojiao, with a curious expression, and the meaning revealed in his eyes was very obvious-
Boss, you are so good, you actually know the third prince, and it seems that the relationship is not bad?
Liu Jiaojiao naturally understood the meaning in his eyes, glanced at him angrily, and then said to Gu Tingfeng: "His name is Zeng Jian, his father was originally the prefect of Yuncheng, and now he should be promoted, so he will come to the capital, and he is the little brother I received when I was in the town." ”
Zeng Jian hurriedly explained: "My lord, my father Zeng Xing, fortunately the emperor was very important, and he was transferred back to the capital to take over the post of secretary of the criminal department. ”
Liu Jiaojiao was stunned.
The book of the criminal department? Hey, this official is promoted like taking an elevator, it's really rubbing, and it's been raised several levels at once.
It seems that there must be someone behind this Zeng Xing, otherwise it would not be possible to be promoted so quickly, but I don't know what kind of person he is, if he is the same as Xu Tianci, he is also a diehard loyalist of the emperor, then it will be a bit troublesome.
Hearing Zeng Jian's words, Gu Tingfeng's eyes flashed, he looked at Liu Jiaojiao, and cast an inquiring look, meaning that your little brother is really reliable? Can it be trusted?
Liu Jiaojiao nodded affirmatively. Wanshulou
Just kidding, how could there be a problem with the Gu produced by the system? There is no need to worry about Zeng Jian's betrayal, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.
Gu Tingfeng asked Zeng Jian to close the door of the box, and then beckoned the three of them to find a good place to sit down, then he lowered his voice and said: "As far as this king knows, Prime Minister Wang Cheng is Zeng Xing's mentor, and Prime Minister Wang Cheng is the leader of Qingliu in the court. ”
Zeng Jian was confused when he heard this, as a competent gentleman, where did he understand the disputes in the court, and said in surprise: "My father is actually a teacher and student with the prime minister?" I never heard him mention it. ”
He didn't understand, but Liu Jiaojiao immediately understood.
In other words, Zeng Xing is a member of Prime Minister Wang's faction, and their faction has a bad relationship with the emperor.
Also, since ancient times, it is estimated that no emperor likes those clear streams with tendons, even Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who said the words "taking people as a mirror", for Wei Zheng, who likes to give him direct advice and does not save face, he is also smiling on the surface, and MM and P in his heart.
But the emperor loves face, in order to make people think that he is a wise monarch who can listen to advice, but he has to leave a place for the Qingliu people in the court, and sometimes even has to swallow his anger at them.
Very good, as long as it's not from the emperor's faction, maybe you can be your own help in the future.
Liu Jiaojiao exchanged a tacit look with Gu Tingfeng, and then she took the initiative to change the topic, "Zeng Jian, you haven't answered me what I asked you just now?" When did you arrive in the capital? ”
"As soon as I arrived, I came to you immediately before I even entered the house, boss, am I particularly righteous?" The single-celled animal was taken away the moment it was established, and looked at her with pride and pride.
"Surely you haven't had time to eat? For the sake of your righteousness, I'll cook something delicious for you myself, and you just stay here and wait. ”
She was just about to leave, but her arm was grabbed by Zeng Jian.
"Boss, the prince is still here." He approached Liu Jiaojiao, and his voice was extremely low.
Knowing that he was worried that he would leave like this, and if he didn't say a word to Gu Tingfeng, he would be blamed, Liu Jiaojiao smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I'm friends with the prince, he won't care about these red tape." ”
Zeng Jian's admiration for Liu Jiaojiao was beyond words, and his eyes widened.
Mom, he must have done a lot of good things in his last life, right? Otherwise, how could he recognize such a powerful boss?
Look, it's only been a long time since I entered Beijing, and I've become friends with a high-ranking and powerful prince!
Even though Liu Jiaojiao thought she was a thick-skinned person, she was a little embarrassed by his undisguised admiration, and after pulling his hand away, she said hello to Gu Tingfeng, and immediately left the box to go to the back kitchen.
Hey, this kind of blind worship makes her so uncomfortable, the whole person is starting to float a little, continue, don't stop!
made a few dishes by herself, and then she returned to the box on the third floor, only to find that Zeng Jian was the only one inside.
"Where's the prince?" Liu Jiaojiao asked while setting out the dishes.
Zeng Jian hurriedly replied: "The prince said that he remembered that he still had some things to deal with, so he went back to the palace first, let me tell you that he will come to you tomorrow." By the way, boss, do you have something very important to discuss with the prince? ”
"Why do you ask?"
"He told you not to leave tomorrow when the store closes, and he will come over at that time, and it sounds like there is something important that must be told to you in private."
Liu Jiaojiao didn't answer him directly, but said in a warning tone: "Hurry up and eat, go back after eating, and then forget everything you heard today, just when you don't know anything, understand?" ”
Zeng Jian nodded like pounding garlic, without the slightest look of doubt, and promised in a firm tone: "Boss, don't worry, I don't know anything!" ”
This is the benefit of Gu, the person who is under Gu will extremely blindly carry out any orders of the Gu person, and there will be no curiosity and questions that a normal person should have.
After Zeng Jian was full of food and drink, he took a bunch of rainbow farts at Liu Jiaojiao's cooking skills, and showed his loyalty, seeing that the time was not early, he was forced to go home by Liu Jiaojiao.
Not long after he left, Liu Jiaojiao was about to call his men to clean up the leftovers on the table, when Niu Haoran suddenly pushed the door and walked in.
"Boss, you ...... Are you okay? He asked with concern.
God knows that since he knew that the emperor had arrived, his whole heart was raised to his throat, for fear that something would happen.
Originally, he wanted to ask when the emperor left, but he was afraid that Gu Tingfeng was still there, so he endured it. Finally, Gu Tingfeng left, but after a while, he suddenly turned back, and then Zeng Jian came again, and he had to endure it until now before he came to inquire about the situation in person.
Liu Jiaojiao understood what he was worried about, and shook her head with a smile: "Didn't you see me standing here?" All right. ”
"The emperor didn't do anything about you, right?"
"I'm just an ordinary little girl, how can he do anything to me? But I'm a little careless today, maybe the emperor will know that I am Xu Tianci's daughter by now. Thinking of this, Liu Jiaojiao suddenly had a headache.
Niu Haoran's face immediately changed, "How come?" You have never entered the palace, how can the emperor recognize you? ”
"He is the emperor, there are many capable people under him, my movement into Beijing this time is a bit big, he can't be unaware, plus I am too showy at the poetry meeting, it is estimated that there are already secret guards investigating me, although I have never entered the palace, but the portrait must have appeared on the emperor's imperial case."
"What then?"
"Hehe, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what else can I do?"
