Chapter 180: Hit the nail on the head
"You've never been with her, and you've been prejudiced against her, so you think she has other plans for everything."
Shen Tangxi looked at Xie Qingheng calmly, but Xie Qingheng didn't give in for half a step.
The atmosphere in the room calmed down for a moment.
Pei Geng and Ji Zhao glanced at each other, and they both felt a little tricky.
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal, why are you arguing like this."
Pei Geng said: "Tangxi, I think what Qing Heng said makes sense. ”
"It's not the first time that the Cao family has calculated them, so you can't sit back and wait for death every time, right?"
"It's okay for Su Ruan to make such a fuss, put the matter on the table, let everyone know that the Cao family is at fault first, and the Xie family is in charge, and the Cao family and the eldest prince can't do anything in secret."
After Pei Geng finished speaking, he bumped into Ji Zhao and motioned for him to open his mouth to persuade him.
Ji Zhao hit the nail on the head: "I also think what Qing Heng said is right, you are just prejudiced against Su Ruan." ”
Seeing Shen Tangxi coming over, Ji Zhao said:
"You have always been the smartest of us, and we and Qingheng are no match for you when it comes to calculations."
"But even I can see that Su Ruan has done nothing wrong with this matter today, if there is really anything wrong, that is, she took Qingheng's younger brother, as well as the Zhao family and the Bai family, who don't know anything, to go to the Cao family to make trouble, which is a bit too risky."
"If the Cao family didn't care about their face at that time and couldn't help but say that they did it first, even if the Xie family took care of it afterwards, they would have suffered first."
"Aside from this, what else did Su Ruan do wrong?"
Ji Zhao looked at Shen Tangxi and said mercilessly.
"What I can see, you won't fail to understand."
"If it weren't for your preconceived notions about Su Ruan and your belief that she had malicious intentions towards Qing Heng and them, then with your past temperament, you would have to praise Su Ruan for being smart."
"After all, if this matter were to be replaced by you today, you would have a seventy or eighty percent chance that you would have the same choice as her."
Shen Tangxi frowned tightly when he heard this: "I won't." ”
Ji Zhao heard him deny it, and raised his eyebrows directly: "No?" Then have you forgotten how you dealt with Qu Xingning in the first place? ”
Shen Tangxi was stunned when he heard this.
Ji Zhao said: "At the beginning, Qu Xingning's father, Qu He, had a bad relationship with Shen, and Qu He asked Qu Xingning to do something to you in the Guozi Prison, wanting to frame you on that township test. ”
"You knew what Qu Xingning wanted to do, but you didn't stop him, not only connived at him not to say anything, but also secretly pushed him."
"Although you didn't do it directly to him, but you used Qu Xingning to blame you for your fraud, in addition to Qu Xingning's fame, Shen Xiang also grabbed the handle and brought down Qu He, have you forgotten these things?"
Ji Zhao took the teacup, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Tangxi.
"So Tangxi, aside from your prejudices and preconceived ideas, Su Ruan is actually quite similar to you."
How can it be?
Shen Tangxi subconsciously shrugged his eyebrows, how could Su Ruan be like him.
The woman, she ......
Shen Tangxi wanted to find two words to describe Su Ruan, but after turning around in his heart, the deepest impression was the first time, Su Ruan was obviously crying while holding the tablet, but his tear-soaked eyes were extremely calm.
He looked a little stunned, and his eyebrows tightened.
How could she be like him?
Ji Zhao's words are particularly straightforward.
Seeing the doubts and hesitation in Shen Tangxi's eyes, Pei Geng said: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look like it anymore, since Qingheng has gone back, he also said that it is not a big deal, if you want to come to Xie Hou Ye and they have a way to deal with the Cao family, don't worry about it." ”
"The day after tomorrow is the day of the exam, instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about how to deal with this."
"I heard from my grandfather, the news is almost confirmed, this time it is for the prince to choose a companion to study, otherwise the emperor will not take the school exam himself."
"I don't have the ability, and I'm not interested in being a companion to His Royal Highness the Prince. What do you guys think? ”
Ji Zhao shook his head: "I'm not suitable." ”
In other words, he didn't want to go.
Pei Geng looked at Shen Tangxi and the two.
Shen Tangxi put Su Ruan's matter aside and said, "Look at what I do, you forgot that I am not qualified to be the prince's companion." ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered Shen Tangxi's situation.
Shen Tangxi's face was ruined when there was a fire in his home when he was a child, and he has been wearing a mask to cover most of his face all these years.
Although there are also people with facial injuries in the DPRK and China, the condition of those people is not serious, but Shen Tangxi is inseparable from the mask.
The prince's companion is destined to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven in the future, assisting the new monarch, how can he go to the court with a mask?
All three of them had a look of apology on their faces.
Shen Tangxi glanced at them: "What kind of expression are you guys?" ”
"I already knew my situation, and I was specially allowed to enter the national prison by looking at my father's face, and I was content after the township test, so I can't break the rules of the court for me."
"It's Qingheng, what do you think?"
Shen Tangxi and Xie Qingheng have been good since childhood, and their cousin relationship has always been close.
Even if there was a dispute over Su Ruan's matter just now, when talking about business at this time, Shen Tangxi was still full of concern.
"You are very good at studying, and my uncle once mentioned it before, saying that you should go directly to participate in the martial arts, and after the martial arts, you will be famous, so you will go to the army to practice, and after you return to the dynasty after saving some military merits, you will directly ask for the position of the son of the world."
"Although the identity of the prince's companion is noble, and if you are chosen, it is also beautiful, but for your current situation, it is not a good choice."
Ji Zhao also nodded and said: "I also think that although the prince's companion is destined to enter the court and be valued by the emperor, once he follows His Royal Highness the prince, it is equivalent to getting involved in the royal affairs." ”
The crown prince is weak, although he is protected by the emperor, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other people who should not have any ideas.
When the time comes, as the prince's companion, he will bear the brunt of the choice of those people.
If the crown prince can successfully ascend the throne, it will naturally be very good.
But if something happens halfway, no matter whether the prince is okay or not, the first to be unlucky is the people around him.
Xie Qingheng listened to their words and saw that the three of them were all looking at him.
He said calmly: "You can rest assured of me, I know it in my heart." ”
Shen Tangxi and the three of them thought that Xie Qingheng had a number in his mouth, and he would not mix with the prince like them, so they didn't continue to ask.
There was the sound of a bell ringing outside, and occasionally the footsteps of students in nearby residences walking out, Shen Tangxi said: "You can count it yourself, let's go, Mr. also said that he will take a policy test tonight, don't be late." ”
