"The people under him don't understand the rules, so Xu Gongzi is frightened, and he doesn't want to loosen his ties to Xu Gongzi quickly." The man glanced at the person behind Xu Huaiqing, "Young Master Xu, I invited you over this time to negotiate a deal with you." ”

"Deal?" Xu Huaiqing moved his wrist, which was a little stiff because he had been tied for a long time, and raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

The person in front of him was well-dressed, and he knew at a glance that he was either rich or expensive, but he didn't think that there was anything on his body that could be worthy of the other party's painstaking "invitation".

"I know that Xu Gongzi must still have doubts in his heart, but you can take a look at this first, perhaps, this thing can make Xu Gongzi interested." The man said as he pushed a carved box in his hand.

Xu Huaiqing hesitated for a while before opening the box, only to see a piece of paper lying quietly inside.

"It's ......"

"That's right, this is the title deed of the first embroidery workshop in the capital, and it can be regarded as a gift from me to Xu Gongzi, I hope this gift can express my sincerity enough."

Xu Huaiqing stared at the contents of the box with a gloomy expression, and he didn't know how long it took, he suddenly snapped and closed the lid, "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?" ”

"Xu Gongzi doesn't have to be nervous, I said, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation today." The man said as he dropped another piece. On the chess table, Bai Zi, who was originally pressed by the sunspot step by step, suddenly reversed, and the frozen situation suddenly came to life.

"Cooperation? I don't think that I, a scholar, would be able to give you such a big gift. The box was pushed back again, and a hint of appreciation flashed in King Wei's eyes.

This Xu Huaiqing, in the face of such pressure from him, can still be neither humble nor arrogant, but he is calm.

Thinking of this, King Wei suddenly straightened up a little, "I can't hide it, I am the current King of Wei, and I came to Xu Gongzi today to ask, is Xu Gongzi willing to be my staff?" ”

Xu Huaiqing raised his eyebrows differently, although he knew that the identity of the other party would not be simple. , but I didn't expect it to be King Wei, "The prince inevitably thinks too highly of me, with the identity of the prince, I can't find any talented people." ”

"Xu Gongzi, don't be presumptuous, I have read the file of your township examination, your strategy is very well written, if there is no accident, you will definitely be able to come out on top in the examination."

It turned out that this person actually had this idea, he had long known that the DPRK and China had formed a party for personal gain, and there were many factions, but he didn't expect to start buying people's hearts so early. If someone else had been here, perhaps they would have been grateful to Dade for accepting the title deed and showing his loyalty.

It's a pity that the person in front of King Wei now is Xu Huaiqing. He had already decided where he would go from here. Rather than participating in partisan disputes, and the slightest carelessness may lead to the wrong team, it is better to be a lonely minister from the beginning, unless His Majesty is present in person, otherwise he will never show the willingness to follow.

No matter how fanciful King Wei said, Xu Huaiqing didn't even blink his eyes.

King Wei's throat was dry, and he didn't see any reaction from Xu Huaiqing, so he was immediately a little displeased, "Young Master Xu, I don't know what you think about our cooperation?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiqing reacted, "Lord, how can Xu be able to get the favor of the prince, it's just ......"

Before King Wei was happy, Xu Huaiqing changed his words, "It's just that as a courtier, it is natural to assist the emperor wholeheartedly and serve the emperor, so that the court can be restored." The prince has great ambitions, and he must have the same idea as Xu. ”

How could King Wei not hear the sarcasm in Xu Huaiqing's words, when his face sank, "Hmph, don't toast and don't eat and drink." I'll give you face, do you really think you're going to be able to go to high school? As long as I want to, you don't expect to be able to enter the court in your life. ”

Facing the threat of King Wei, Xu Huaiqing's expression was indifferent, "Since this is the case, then Xu will wait and see." ”

He picked up a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard. Xu Huaiqing arched his hand and turned to leave. And on the chessboard behind him, Bai Zi, who had just turned the situation around, suddenly fell into a dead end.

King Wei stared at Xu Huaiqing's back, his expression was dark and uncertain, and after a long time, he hooked the corners of his mouth with pity, "Come on, invite Master He over." ”

Then Lord He is one of the examiners of this examination.

"Xu Huaiqing, I want to see if you can still be as tough as you are today when you know that you are not on the list."

On the way back, Xu Huaiqing's expression was a little solemn, then King Wei may not just give up, this time, I am afraid that someone will do something.

Maybe it was because he was thinking about things, Xu Huaiqing didn't pay attention to the scene in front of him, until when he returned to the door, a figure suddenly flew into her arms, "Xu Huaiqing!" Where have you been. ”

The warm touch made Xu Huaiqing stunned for a moment, and when he realized who the person in his arms was, he suddenly softened his voice, "Last night, I suddenly thought that a book was left in the private school, so I thought about going over to get it." ”

Don't tell Jiu Jiu about King Wei, lest she worry.

"What books are worth running to get in the middle of the night, do you know that you are about to scare me to death." Bai Jiujiu complained aggrievedly.

God knows how nervous she was when she woke up to find the bed next to her empty. Fortunately, Xu Huaiqing came back safe and sound.

Bai Jiujiu, who had palpitations, rubbed in Xu Huaiqing's chest, and his fluffy hair brought a burst of itching, Xu Huaiqing shook his head with a smile, "Okay, I'm not fine, am I fine?" Let's go in and have breakfast, I guess you'll be hungry by now. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Jiujiu's stomach let out a loud grunt.

lowered his head in embarrassment, Bai Jiujiu wished that there was a crack on the ground that he could get into. Xu Huaiqing didn't embarrass her, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, but this behavior made Bai Jiujiu feel better.

This matter was quickly left behind, and except for Xu Huaiqing, the people of the Xu family did not care.

Although a lot has happened recently, the Lantern Festival is still coming as scheduled. Bai Jiujiu's enthusiasm for the Lantern Festival has not diminished in the slightest, and after letting the people hang up all kinds of lanterns, they also specially prepared a sumptuous dinner.

It wasn't until the moon hung on the treetops that she went back to her room to rest after a busy day.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she suddenly felt a whirlwind of the world, and a sense of exhaustion swept over her body. Somehow, I fainted and fell to the ground. At the same time, a streamer of light enveloped the entire room, and people from the outside world only saw Bai Jiujiu lying on the bed, asleep as usual, and did not notice anything unusual.
