Chapter 177: Confronting the Enemy

The next day, Lu Xuan went to work in the household department with peace of mind according to the instructions of taking care of Huan Li, but he didn't expect that when he entered the door, it was Li Ce's disgusting face.

"Lu Lingshi, it's early." Li Ce greeted Lu Xuan with a grin.

Lu Xuan was in a hurry when he went out this morning, and he didn't have time to have breakfast, and his stomach was already a little uncomfortable.

But who is it that the current situation is involuntarily self-sufficient? Even if Lu Xuan felt helpless in her heart, she still couldn't help but smile at Li Ce: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Li. ”

"Hey, you and I are both officials, Lord Lu doesn't have to be so polite." Li Ce said to Lu Xuan with the appearance of a gentleman.

Lu Xuan didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to be polite: "The adult said that he was joking, the official position of the adult is above the lower official, and the lower official should follow the etiquette law." ”

The two of you were polite and polite, and Lu Xuan really couldn't wait to end this kind of conversation that she felt uncomfortable with.

At this moment, the topic was finally interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared: "Why, you actually know each other?" The person who spoke was Chen Weizhi, whom Lu Xuan had never met yesterday.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan hurriedly saluted: "Xiaguan has seen Chen Langzhong. ”

In the past life or in this life, Lu Xuan and Chen Weizhi have always been incompatible, although she has no prejudice against him in her heart, but his contemptuous attitude towards her is really difficult to make her reconcile.

This time, hearing that Chen Weizhi interceded for himself in the court, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to him in his heart, and his tone of voice was naturally more polite.

Lu Xuan behaved quite sensibly, as the saying goes, "Reach out and don't hit a smiling person", Chen Weizhi did not show the appearance of rejecting her as before, but gently signaled her to be polite.

Lu Xuan got up, and it was rare for a savior to appear, which could allow her to escape from the villain Li Ce, she immediately seized the opportunity to walk towards Chen Weizhi's side:

"Xiaguan was promoted to the new commander of the household department, and recently took office for the first time, dare to ask what the adults can order?"

Being asked by Lu Xuan like this, Chen Weizhi also happened to think of the things that had not been dealt with at hand a few days ago, and then nodded at Lu Xuan: "There is indeed something to bother you, if you have time, come with this official." ”

At this time, Lu Xuan was afraid that she would squeeze out the space even if she was not available, so she nodded and followed Chen Weizhi away without saying a word, and she didn't even say goodbye to Li Ce.

Li Ce stood in place and watched Chen Weizhi take Lu Xuan away, but he didn't mind.

It's just very strange, every time he sees Lu Xuan, he is like being opened into a chatterbox, and he is always attracted by an inexplicable charm on her, which even makes him feel that they are familiar.

It wasn't until he walked farther away and got rid of Li Ce that Lu Xuan respectfully saluted Chen Weizhi again.

Chen Weizhi was puzzled, and only looked at her blankly: "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Xuan explained: "The lord said good things for the lower officials in the court that day, and the lower officials have already heard about it, and the lower officials can be promoted this time because of the promotion of the adults, and the lower officials have thanked the adults here." ”

Chen Weizhi has never had a good face towards anyone, even in the face of Lu Xuan's gratitude to him, there was still no wave on his face, he only nodded lightly, and then used the high-sounding reason he always used to perfunctory Lu Xuan-

"This official just has one thing to say, Lu Lingshi doesn't have to take it to heart."

Lu Xuan didn't care about him, anyway, he has always been like this.

On the other hand, Chen Weizhi was a little caught off guard by Lu Xuan's gratitude for the first time.

I saw that his gaze seemed to dodge, and then he quickly changed the topic: "Do you know what official position the household commander Shi is?" ”

This is a test for others, which is really Chen Weizhi's consistent style of doing things.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan was also an official for two lifetimes in his previous life and present life, and he still knew the official system of the Great Liang Dynasty very well, so the questions that Chen Weizhi asked at this moment were naturally difficult.

Lu Xuan immediately spoke confidently: "Lingshi is the official position responsible for the trial of all documents in our dynasty, and there are subordinate envoys and scholars, and Lang Zhong is the direct superior. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the territory, land, household registration, taxation, salaries, and all financial matters of the country, so the Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for the examination of the relevant financial documents of our dynasty. ”

Chen Weizhi was generally satisfied with this answer, so he didn't deliberately embarrass Lu Xuan, and then nodded without hesitation: "It seems that you still did some homework." ”

Lu Xuan was praised by Chen Weizhi, and couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in his heart.

It's just that before she could warm up this joy in her heart, Chen Weizhi poured another basin of cold water on her-

"But Lu Lingshi shouldn't be too complacent, just know that these fur things are not enough for you to gain a foothold in the household department, if you want to get the approval of this official in the future, you'd better put away your little cleverness and be down-to-earth."

Lu Xuan knew that Chen Weizhi had never treated people with a gentle and jade-like side, if one day he didn't pay attention to who he gave a sweet date to eat, then it would definitely be another heavy slap in the face.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan didn't have too much hope for Chen Weizhi, it was enough to ask him not to have a lot of hostility towards him in the past life in the future.

Only then did Lu Xuan respectfully bow down towards Chen Weizhi: "The lower officials will strictly follow the teachings of Lord Chen, and in the future, they will definitely deny themselves and strive to be able to enter the eyes of adults as soon as possible." ”

There seemed to be some ambiguity in what he said, Chen Weizhi's face couldn't help but flush, and it took a long time to react, not as he understood.

turned to nod at Lu Xuan with an embarrassed expression, and then seemed to say something cruel: "It's better to be like this." ”

After speaking, Chen Weizhi disappeared from Lu Xuan's eyes as if fleeing, causing her to be surprised: "Did I say the wrong thing again?" How did he react this way. ”

Lu Xuan was puzzled, but thinking of Chen Weizhi's thoughts, it was difficult to figure out, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she just started her own business.

Chen Weizhi turned his back on Lu Xuan, and then took a few deep breaths violently, calming down his heart as soon as possible:

"What was I thinking, I thought she was hinting...... She just said that as a subordinate official, she could get into the eyes of the superior, how could I misunderstand that meaning? ”

After trying to calm down, Chen Weizhi left, and then did not appear in front of Lu Xuan again for the whole day, as if deliberately avoiding it.

Lu Xuan didn't take it to heart, having a Li Ce right now was enough for her to have a headache, where could she still care about what Chen Weizhi thought about herself?

But when Lu Xuan was worried about this matter, he never thought that there would be more headaches in the future.

She was planted in the center of the messy file, but there was a noisy sound outside the door, Lu Xuan ignored it, and just buried her head in hard work.

Until he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door, he seemed to be shouting, "His Royal Highness wants to see Lu Xuan." ”

Lu Xuan couldn't help but stop the movements in her hand when she heard this, looking at the entire Shengjing City, among the people she knew, there was only Shen Xixu who could call herself "His Royal Highness".

Thinking that Shen Xixu rashly went to visit Lu Mansion last night, Lu Xuan was stunned: Could it be that she came here?

Lu Xuan was afraid that Shen Xixu would be as open-mouthed as he was in the Lu Mansion yesterday, so he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and looked in the direction of the sound.

When she walked all the way to the Hubu compound, Shen Xixu was being blocked by a group of people, and the one standing at the front and dealing with her was Li Ce, who Lu Xuan didn't want to see the most.

How did they get together? Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised.

When I got closer, I found that the two sides seemed to be arguing over something, no, it should be said that Shen Xixu was accusing Li Ce, who seemed to be quite polite, because of something.

Although it is rare to see Li Ce being scolded with blood, at the moment, Lu Xuan is even more reluctant to tarnish Shen Xixu's reputation as the county lord of Pingchuan because of this.

After all, Shen Xixu regarded Lu Xuan as a close friend, and she didn't want to see her hurt her dignity as a royal family because of Li Ce, a villain.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately stepped forward and deliberately raised his voice and leaned down next to Shen Xixu: "Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness the County Lord. ”

Shen Xixu was still thunderous just now, and when she saw Lu Xuan greeting her, the anger instantly froze on her face, and turned into a well-behaved smile.

"Lu Xuan, you came just in time, what is the identity of this person, and he dares to block the way of the county lord." Shen Xixu said as he pointed angrily at Li Ce, who nodded at her.

Coincidentally, Lu Xuan didn't want to pay attention to him, so he introduced to Shen Xixu casually: "This is Lord Li Celi, a member of the household department. Lu Xuan struggled in his heart for a long time just by saying this name.

However, Shen Xixu didn't pay attention to it, anyway, what she cared about was Li Ce's rude behavior, and as for his identity, she didn't care at all.

She immediately waved her hand: "It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, if he dares to stop me from looking for you, it is a great crime of disrespect committed below, and the county lord has to teach him the rules for the Hubu Shangshu today." ”

Shen Xixu said that he was about to signal the people around him to go and teach Li Ce a lesson, but Lu Xuan stopped her by a ghostly way: "His Royal Highness the county lord has mercy." ”

When she said this, Lu Xuan felt remorseful, why did she intercede for Li Ce?

But if you say it, it will be spilled water, and it will be too late to take it back in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Ce was also taken aback when he saw this, and when he saw Lu Xuan, his eyes instantly emitted some kind of indescribable light.

Only then did I see Lu Xuan stubbornly continue: "After all, Lord Li and Xia Guan are colleagues, and Xia Guan has just arrived, and he asked His Royal Highness the County Lord to look at Xia Guan's face, so don't worry about Lord Li's unintentional loss." ”

Lu Xuan couldn't have doubted if he had been bewitched by the ghost just now.
