Chapter 473: Three from Four Virtues
Aren't ordinary people saying where and where, and being humble about winning a prize? Then they come up with a lot of flattery, and then the conversation box opens up, and they are happy.
But what Lin Changsheng said was thank you, unspeakable thank you, unceremonious thank you!
What are they going to say!
Looking at the confused crowd, Mu Jiu almost didn't laugh.
In fact, if Lin Changsheng has the heart to associate with a person, he is still very good at talking, and this performance only shows that he does not want to be an official in the court at all, and he is not willing to be in the company of these people.
Those people were stunned for a moment, shook their heads and left, some were still confused, some were dissatisfied, probably thinking that Lin Changsheng was too arrogant, how to say that they were also seniors who had been officials in the court for many years, and Lin Changsheng would have more to learn in the future.
Lin Changsheng took out an apple from the fruit bowl, picked a small piece with a dagger, tasted it, threw it back into the fruit bowl, chose another one and tasted it in the same way, then peeled it and handed it to Mu Jiu, "This is good." ”
This scene made the eyes of the people around him almost drop, so they directly stopped what they were doing and looked over here.
None of the ladies present served them to eat and drink, and it was outrageous that anyone spoiled their wives to such an extent.
"Hey, it's a shame on our men!"
"The husband is sluggish, the husband is sluggish!"
"Hey, the faces of the men of the Great Xia Kingdom have been lost by him!"
The people who said this were all the people who were thanked by Lin Changsheng just now, and they sighed one by one, as if the sky had fallen.
But the couple turned a blind eye, if there was no one else, Mu Jiu took a bite and handed it to Lin Changsheng's mouth, "Yes, you try." ”
Lin Changsheng took a small bite and pushed it away, "It's too sweet, you eat." '
"Sweet is delicious, I don't know how to enjoy it." Mu Jiu said angrily.
Those who watched it couldn't wait to poke themselves in the eye.
"It's too hurtful, this is the Prince's Mansion!"
"It's just moral turpitude!"
All kinds of whispers were unbearable, but Lin Changsheng was very Mu Jiu as if he hadn't heard it, Lin Changsheng just stared at Mu Jiu, as if she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Mu Jiu was also drunk, and said in a low voice, "You see that they have to treat me as a demon girl." ”
"Aren't you? Turned me smitten. ”
This......
This love word was said unexpectedly, well, this apple is too sweet, sweet to the heart.
Looking up at the faces of other officials, the colors are very good-looking.
"It's really embarrassing, how can such a person be a good official of the Great Xia Kingdom?"
"Isn't it, isn't it just a victory? What is there to be proud of, if the old man is a few decades younger, the old man can also win the battle. ”
"Isn't it just a bunch of bandits, I'm ten years younger, and in less than two days, I can take them down in one day."
Mu Jiu sneered, and said coldly, "Anyway, you don't need capital to brag, and you don't need to make drafts, maybe someone is talented, and one person can top an army of another country." ”
Lin Changsheng lightly tapped the tip of her nose, "Naughty." ”
Those who said cool words suddenly looked better, "The prince's banquet, how can a woman speak!" ”
"I don't know the rules, if it were my wife, I would have given her a big-ear shave, so as not to lose face!"
As soon as such words came out, the faces of the wives of those officials were also very good-looking.
But Mu Jiu had no intention of appreciating it, to put it bluntly, they were products of this era, and they couldn't talk about jokes, but they just felt sad.
Lin Changsheng didn't speak, and when Mu Jiu put the leftover apple heart on the table, he took a handkerchief and carefully wiped Mu Mu's hands, so as not to be sticky and uncomfortable.
However, not all women envy Mu Jiu, some women were scolded by their husbands and sneered at Mu Jiu, "Such a woman will lose her husband's family sooner or later, men are heavens, and it is natural for women to serve their husbands, but in turn they want their husbands to serve, such women are really ashamed of our women's face!" ”
"But no, women have to follow three and four virtues, I have always remembered to obey, I want the reputation of all our officials' wives to be far and wide, but I have been ruined by such an ignorant thing!"
Mu Jiu: "......"
Well, she felt sorry for them, but they fell on their own.
Lin Changsheng's cold eyes slanted slightly, and he glanced coldly at the ladies who were gossiping about Mu Jiu, and then lowered his head and continued to look at Mu Jiu, as if nothing had happened.
Only Mu Jiu noticed, his hands were as fast as lightning, he picked up the peanuts on the snack plate on the table and popped them out, and a few peanuts accurately fell into the wine glasses in front of the ladies who were gossiping about her, and the wine glasses suddenly shattered, and the wine splashed everywhere.
"Bang!"
"Ahh
The few women who said that Mu Jiu was ignorant jumped up in panic, what noble posture, what quiet and elegant and virtuous lady came to naught at this moment.
Oh this man!
Mu Jiu gently held Lin Changsheng's hand, "Okay, don't be angry. ”
"Not angry."
But that tone made Mu Jiu panic, didn't this seem like a tone of not being angry?
At this time, the eunuch sang in a sharp voice, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have arrived!" ”
All the cacophony was quiet at this moment, and everyone was busy pulling the hem of their clothes, lest they be disheveled.
Lin Changsheng and Mu Jiu also stood up and followed everyone to salute the crown prince and the crown princess.
The crown prince was very imposing, "No courtesy, please sit down with your lords and ladies." ”
Today's crown princess was wearing a very formal princess costume, smiling lightly, smiling at the wives of several important ministers, generous and decent, and then sat down with the prince.
The crown prince sat on the throne, "Today, this palace invites you to come, first, to thank you for your support to this palace, and secondly, I want to take this opportunity to introduce to you a warrior of my Great Xia Kingdom." ”
The crown prince looked at Lin Changsheng, "This is Mr. Lin Changsheng, the new warrior of my Great Xia Kingdom." ”
He led the defenders of Yanshan County to defeat hundreds of bandits and gave the residents of Yanshan County a peaceful living environment. Tonight, this palace will give Mr. Jinglin a cup for tens of thousands of residents in Yanshan County. ”
After speaking, he raised a glass to Lin Changsheng.
There have long been palace maids who filled Lin Changsheng with fragrant aged wine, and the wine was full of fragrance.
Lin Changsheng raised his glass in the direction of the crown prince, but did not say a word.
The faces of those officials, who had finally recovered because of the prince's arrival, became difficult to look at again, didn't this person know how to say thank you to the prince or something?
The prince obviously didn't expect Lin Changsheng not to say something like thanks, and only after a pause did he regain a faint smile, "Mr. Lin is really temperamental. ”
Lin Changsheng was very polite, "His Royal Highness the Prince, before I went, the grass people said that the grass people would not enter the court as officials, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can remember." ”
The prince's face froze, he had already asked Emperor Xia for a reward for meritorious deeds, and in the next sentence, he wanted to ask Lin Changsheng whether he wanted to be a hussar general defending the city or the right attendant of the Imperial Forest Army, but he was blocked by Lin Changsheng before he could say anything!
How can there be such stubborn people!
What's wrong with being an official, this is the dream of all men in the Great Xia Kingdom!
But Wei Shiming was also present that day, and the prince had to change his words at the end of the day, "This palace promised you, but Mr. Lin, don't you think it's a pity that you have a unique skill but don't use it to serve the country?" ”
"It's not a pity." Lin Changsheng answered cleanly.
But the crown prince did not give up, "I heard that your wife often goes to the Three Princes' Mansion to wander around. ”
In other words, are you already in line with the three princes?
Lin Changsheng stood up calmly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she also often meets with the Crown Princess. Master Wei knows this best, Uchiko is a medical woman. ”
The implication is that she is there to heal, so you don't have to worry about it.
The crown princess didn't dare to say that they met to calculate Yan Ruyu, so she followed Lin Changsheng's words and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Mu is the junior sister of the head of the White Courtyard, and her medical skills are so high that the palace medicine maids are beyond her reach. ”
The crown prince didn't believe it, the doctors with the best medical skills in Great Xia were all in the palace, but if he didn't give face to the crown princess in front of everyone, he didn't give himself face, "Oh? Is it? It just so happens that this palace has occasionally felt unwell in recent days, can Dr. Mu show his hand? ”
Mu Jiu stood up very calmly, "Does the prince want to do it now or after the banquet?" ”
"Now."
For a while, the officials in the entire hall looked at Mu Jiu in a daze and walked towards the main seat, then took out a thin black rope and handed it to the crown princess, asking the princess to tie it to the prince, and then stood with a hanging wire to diagnose the pulse.
Some time ago, Bai Yuan first spoke, covering his junior sister Mu Jiu, and it was also a stir in the capital, they thought it was a rumor, but they didn't expect Mu Jiu to really have kung fu.
Mu Jiu quickly put down the string, "The prince is fine, it's just that he is overthinking, just pay attention to rest." ”
"The imperial doctor in the palace also said so, but you are just like that."
Mu Jiu just smiled and didn't explain, and motioned to the crown princess to untie the string and return to her seat with the string.
The prince didn't like her, but he felt that Lin Changsheng was unwilling to enter the court as an official because of her, and her name was Mu Jiu, but no matter what, the prince would not easily calculate her life, and she didn't need to be tough on everything.
When she returned to her seat, Lin Changsheng took her hand, as if she would suddenly disappear.
The prince's face darkened, and he said, "A good man has ambitions in all directions, thanks to my Great Xia State, officials like you can prosper." ”
Mu Jiuxin said that it is about to collapse, you only care about fighting for power, no one is willing to work hard, the surface is peaceful, in fact, it is similar to Yanshan County, and many places have no livelihood.
But the other officials were different, they complimented the prince a few words, and drank again.
Since it's a banquet, it's natural that singers are indispensable.
A group of coolly dressed dancers walked to the center of the main hall, and the girl holding the pipa was half-veiled and flicked with her bare hands.
The crown prince maintained a domineering sitting posture, "Mr. Lin, this palace is very curious about how you killed the enemy, it must be very exciting, can you tell us about the situation at that time?" ”
Lin Changsheng refused without thinking, "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness the Prince, there are some tricks that can't be said easily, so as not to be said, and it won't work if you use them in the future." ”
This......
There was a gasp all around.
As the crown prince, such an embarrassment is not difficult for him, but he can still be gentle and elegant without losing his nobility, "It's the palace that is reckless, what Mr. Lin said is extremely true." ”
