Chapter 54: Jing'an Academy (I)
Zhao Rui said with a smile: "I will consider and consider these things that Pei Qing said." Then he said, "Go to the academy." β
Pei Xu said respectfully: "It's just the minister's humble opinion, maybe there is a deeper level of interest in it, and the minister can't see it." β
East Wall Library, West Garden Han Mo Lin. Tongzheng Hall Academy is a place where the fragrance of books lingers, and it is also the yearning of literati and scholars. Take a break inside and talk about things so that you don't feel uncomfortable all the time.
"Like Xiao Bozhou, I won't say that, I'm tired of hearing all kinds of flattery all day long." He took a sip of his tea.
"Xiao Shilang?"
Zhao Rui said lightly: "What do you say about ten thousand years, long live, alas, these nonsensical words are just comfortable to listen to." β
Pei Xu smiled and put it away.
"Like you, you don't talk big. I like to tell the truth, and I don't reject people like Xiao Bozhou, and I feel better when I listen to him occasionally. β
Pei Xu smiled wittily: "Prince, you are really witty, you obviously like to listen to it, but you want to make a detour." β
The solemnity of Zhao Rui's complexion disappeared, and Xinxin smiled: "It's a shame that you are still a outspoken and daring shepherd, blindly flamboyant." β
"Your Highness, in fact, I don't know something."
"What's the matter?"
Pei Xu weighed his proportions and said very cautiously: "Why did Xiao Shilang suddenly want it?" "Why did you suddenly offer a woman? It's also unaware. Even he only knew that there was such a person because Wei Yu casually mentioned it.
His tone was flirtatious, "That's what I asked." It is common for the same surname to be connected to the sect. β
"Ah, the minister just, just." At this time, I don't lie.
"Okay, I know what you mean."
Pei Xu was naΓ―ve, "The minister's mouth is not good, which makes you laugh." β
Zhao Rui sneered and said, "Don't talk about this, how are your wedding preparations?" β
"This," he muttered again.
Zhao Rui smiled: "If you have something to say, just say it, you don't have to choke in your throat." β
"Uh, this,"
Pei Xu remembered that he had asked the matchmaker to go to the Feng Mansion with gifts several times, and he was in a hurry. Later, when I asked for the name, I put a lot of thought into it. I asked about the family, parents, family wealth, etc., and just went through the motions. Halfway through, the poor one was pulled a few layers of skin by Xiao Shao.
"Or is it for money?"
Marrying the daughter of an official eunuch and giving three or five gifts is said to have discounted her dignity, not to mention the marriage between the powerful. However, he expected that Pei Xu would not be short of the bride price for the girl.
"Well, that's it. I've been in suspense about the marriage, but I'm afraid that I'll miss something. β
Zhao Rui chuckled and said, "You, I don't know if you Pei Xu has any money." But your Pei family is really good at that money. So don't pretend to be poor in front of me, and ask me for money again. Otherwise, when you stretched out your hand, I would have thought you had come to ask for almsgiving. β
The prince teased well, and Pei Xu only laughed.
"No, no. The minister has already taken care of it. Pei Xu asked again: "I don't know if the prince has heard about the household servant?" β
Zhao Rui sighed: "Pei Xu, why can't you always say everything today?" β
"Maybe I'm too careful, I've heard some rumors about Lu Shilang of the household department recently."
Lu Yao? Zhao Rui shook his head, "No." β
Pei Xu couldn't say it directly, "Some news, ah, some bad news." But in the end, these are all chasing after the wind, and there is no basis. β
"Huh?" Zhao Rui hesitated, "You can tell me carefully." β
"I'm afraid it's too early to say now. Some of the ministers in it failed to take the time to confirm it, and it is not good for the rumors to reach you. If I say it wrong, it is not my sin. Your Highness should be a minister blowing gusts of wind to you, so you don't have to pay attention to it. β
Zhao Rui had a shadow in his heart, and then smiled: "Keep talking about business." β
"Your Highness has seen the process of giving up people?"
"Don't mention it," Zhao Rui was angry when he heard this, "The person you recommend is a sour-faced person who bites his tongue, blows his beard and glares when he is excited, and puts up a shelf full of scholars and famous Confucians." When he saw me, he ignored and ignored me, but he didn't miss his white eyes. β
Zhao Rui's words are also sour, but he is also a prince, and he would make such harsh words.
"I know Cheng Guangyun, he doesn't look like a person who can say such things."
Pei Xu said with a clear conscience, in fact, he was embarrassed by Cheng Guangyun last time. served tea again, and gave him an apprentice, from beginning to end, it was like serving his old father Pei Yizhi.
"One walked, and here came a more powerful one. It's really hard for me to be a prince, I see him in the future, I eat and drink well, and I have to endure his white eyes, what do you call this? β
He couldn't help but smile and said, "As long as you want Corporal Lixian, he will naturally obey." β
"I wish I never saw him again."
Pei Xu smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, Sheren, please use it." Wei Yu held the plate of cheese, "The Dining Bureau has made a new hibiscus cherry pastry, please taste it." β
Zhao Rui was stunned, "You exchange this for a crystal cake for him." β
"Don't, don't, this is fine."
He knew that he was notoriously disliked to eat crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, and deliberately joked about him.
Zhao Rui picked up the hibiscus flower, "It doesn't seem to be the season for the hibiscus to bloom now, why is there in June?" β
"Ah, this is what the head of the garden has worked hard to teach people to cultivate."
Pei Xu pretended not to hear and ate the pastries vigorously.
"Oh? Why is she so diligent? β
"It was Xiao Fengyi who said that you like Furong, so she went." Wei Yu whispered, not even daring to raise his head.
"It's a pity that it shouldn't be opened at the right time."
Wei Yu saw that he didn't get any benefits, but instead made him unhappy, "The slave took this plate down." β
Zhao Rui pointed to Pei Xu, who was eating and drinking, "No, give it all to him." β
"Thank you." Pei Xuqiang swallowed something in his throat.
"Give him that pot of hibiscus flowers, too."
Pei Xu almost choked to death, "What did you say?" β
"Give you a pot of hibiscus flowers."
He said: "The minister doesn't like Hibiscus either." β
If Pei Xu said that he remembered the allusion of hibiscus turning into broken root grass in the past because of this pot, isn't this a great scenery? Then, not only will Xiao Fengyi be jealous of him, but the prince will directly expose his skin.
In fact, he was most afraid that he would meet the prince's hibiscus flower in the future, so he would not accept his things no matter what. Moreover, Xiao Fengyi has good intentions, and he must not let him live up to this heart.
The prince was puzzled: "Forget it, let's put it in the academy." β
Wei Yu smiled: "Yes, yes." When he saw that neither of them was waiting to see him, he did not disturb them.
"Jing'an Academy has added a few hibiscus, and the scenery is even more beautiful." Pei Xu admired the rockery stream outside the window, "However, there are few paintings in the academy." β
"Painting? There are some people who are good at drawing, but the painting is not to my liking. β
He smiled and said: "The prince Yang Su can paint landscape paintings, but he has never shown others. β
"I've seen it once, and I'm not good at penmanship. It is Han Yonglin's paintings, which win my heart. β
