Chapter 119: Summoning the Wind
Shen Shiliu took the letter back to the house and looked carefully, Du Xuanmo temporarily settled in Kyoto City, and the emperor is now looking at the Chinese debt law, so whether he can finally gain a foothold in Kyoto City depends on whether this promotion is smooth. Although everything is fine there, the food is good, and the accommodation is good, but it is not as good as relaxing when he is by Shen Shimei's side.
"So many people in Kyoto City want to be promoted, one radish is a pit, and there are so many radishes without a pit, so they must not be able to relax." Shen Shiliu read the letter, although he felt a little relieved in his heart, he was still worried that Du Xuanmo would not go well in a place like the capital.
On the other side, Du Xuanmo did not encounter any difficulties, after all, with his back to Xiangye, there is no eternal enemy in the officialdom, and everyone will try their best to win over the forces that can be won over in everything, and will not let go of any opportunity.
"This Du Xuanmo is really beyond my expectations, I thought that the affairs of Fengyang County would be okay, but I didn't expect to enter the emperor's eyes, it's really terrifying!" Liang Zhengxin said that at the age of forty-five, he became the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, and the power belongs to the head of the three princes, but this Du Xuanmo is a rare talent he has seen over the years.
"My lord, this Du Xuanmo was pulled by you, the young man is ambitious, will it be ......" Wei Liao, the assassin next to him, said, it was all pulled up by Xiangye, he had never seen Du Xuanmo rise to the limelight so quickly, I was afraid that something was wrong.
Liang Zhengxin has also seen a lot of people, whether it is a talent or a villain, he still has the ability to discriminate, Fengyang County's eyeliner said that Du Xuanmo attaches great importance to the people's livelihood, not just for the sake of power, such a person can be used, after all, it is not easy to control without a conscience, and he doesn't need to control it if he has a conscience!
"Don't worry, how capable he is depends on how he does it, if he has a crooked mind, the emperor will never keep the scourge, you and I don't have to worry about it like this." Liang Zhengxin said that after so many years as an official, he still understands a truth, the right path can go far, and the crooked road will not last long.
Du Xuanmo suddenly became a celebrity around the emperor in the capital, he was originally the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and after coming to Kyoto City, he also went to the Hanlin Academy, and he has been active since then.
"The student's class for today has ended, please ask the teacher for guidance." Du Xuanmo said that as soon as he arrived in Kyoto City, he became a disciple of Xu Mao, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and even the final palace examination was highly recommended by Xu Mao in front of the emperor, and Du Xuanmo respected this teacher very much.
Xu Mao loves talents, he has also read Du Xuanmo's two middle and two yuan test papers, and when he asks about learning, Du Xuanmo can still answer him fluently, so he quickly recruited a disciple first, and now this disciple is really competitive and has become the light of the Hanlin Academy!
"It's a good thing today, the emperor cherishes talents, and he must be reluctant to let you serve in the Hanlin Academy, and when this 'national debt law' is almost mentioned, it is estimated that he will leave you in Kyoto City." Xu Mao said that although Du Xuanmo's knowledge was not taught by him, after all, with the name of the Hanlin Academy, their Hanlin Academy can be regarded as having face, and even if they see those military attachΓ©s and rough people in the future, their civil officials will have a waist pole.
Du Xuanmo was relieved, although the teacher Xu Mao was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and was not a powerful official, but he was well-informed, and with his words, Du Xuanmo felt that he was not far from gaining a firm foothold.
After leaving the Hanlin Courtyard, Du Xuanmo first returned to his residence, and he temporarily lived in the post house of the imperial court.
As soon as he arrived at the gate, Du Xuanmo saw a person, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Du Gongzi, you're back!" There were two little girls, one master and one servant.
Du Xuanmo nodded: "Miss Su is polite." Then he went and opened his own door.
Su Baiyue is the daughter of Su Lang, the imperial historian, and she is a young girl in her twenties, with a beautiful and graceful appearance, and any man will have pity when he sees it.
Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and Miss Boudoir loves white-faced scholars, when the emperor set up a banquet, Su Baiyue also went as a female dependent, and since then she has been haunted by Du Xuanmo and has fallen in love with Du Xuanmo.
Du Xuanmo opened the door and wanted to close it by himself, but the little maid next to Su Baiyue, Xiaohong, was not happy, and directly grabbed the door with her hand.
"Hey, why are you like this, my young lady came to see you in person, how can you ignore it like this?" Xiaohong is more strong, and her voice is not small, and Su Baiyue feels a little loud after speaking.
Du Xuanmo glanced at Su Baiyue and said, "It's not too early, and it's not appropriate for Miss to be here, so let's go home early." β
Su Baiyue tugged Xiaohong, and then said to Du Xuanmo: "Why does Du Gongzi always ignore me? β
Du Xuanmo said this when he saw what he said, so he opened the door and stood outside and said: "It's not that Miss is ignored, it's just that Miss has an important reputation in the boudoir, and Du is a man, so it's inconvenient to come forward." β
Su Baiyue's face was furious, and she said, "You know my intentions, but why don't you respond?" β
Du Xuanmo said with a smile: "Miss is joking, Du's family has already talked about family affairs, and he knows that he is not worthy of Miss." After speaking, he went directly back to the house, and as soon as the door was closed, he was completely isolated from the outside world.
Su Baiyue's eyes were red, she had been careful with etiquette since she was a child, and she also knew that she was born in a Wenchen family and should not do this, but Du Xuanmo had always ignored her, and the few letters she had sent before were returned without even reading them, she really couldn't sit still.
"Miss, let's go back first, he has a family affair!" Xiaohong comforted Su Baiyue.
Su Baiyue stomped her feet, and she could only walk, but she couldn't let go of it in her heart.
Su Baiyue, who returned to the house, closed the door at home, and did not eat dinner at night, although Su Lang loved his daughter very much, he did not take it to heart, and he did not know that he was in a hurry until the next person came to report that the water and rice had not entered for two days.
"Yue'er, what are you doing this for? You have to eat when you need to eat! Su Lang came directly to the girl's persuasion.
Su Baiyue was lying on the bed, covered by a big quilt, and didn't listen to anything, Su Lang pulled the quilt directly and couldn't pull it, so he said: "Let's just say something, you don't tell your father anything, what do you want your father to do?" Whatever you say, Daddy will promise you! β
Su Lang is a woman, just such a lone seedling as Su Baiyue, how can she not hold it in the palm of her hand?
When Su Baiyue heard this, she said, "Dad, what you said is true?" Promise anything? β
"Really, really!" Su Lang hurriedly agreed.
Hearing that her father agreed, Su Baiyue came out of the quilt and said, "Then dad has to help me, I have a crush on Du Xuanmo, I want to marry Du Xuanmo!" β
"Du Xuanmo?" Su Lang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Su Baiyue to get this idea, so he said: "Although Du Xuanmo is good at writing and learning, but he is from a white background, ...... you marry him?" β
Su Lang hesitated, although Du Xuanmo said that Lianzhong Sanyuan was valued by the emperor, but he did not have a family background, even if such a person recruited a son-in-law, although there was nothing bad, but compared to those who had a family background that had been passed down for several generations, it was much weaker. The inheritance power of several generations is deep-rooted, and any one of them is stronger than Du Xuanmo!
"Daughter, think about it again......" As soon as Su Lang finished speaking, Su Baiyue covered herself with a big quilt again, and continued to listen to nothing and eat nothing.
Su Lang was helpless, so he said: "You have to give your father some time, then Du Xuanmo's family history has to be touched from top to bottom.1"
Xiaohong had been listening to the side, and then stepped forward and said, "That Du Xuanmo said that there was already a marriage in his hometown, I think he deliberately said this because he wanted to hide from Miss!" β
"Deliberately said that there was a marriage? Why did he say that on purpose? If there is no marriage, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to marry the pearl of my palm? How many young descendants are waiting with their necks stretched, what does he have to hide? Su Lang said, glaring at Xiaohong.
Xiaohong was aggrieved and said: "It's Liang Xiangye who is on the hook, and they must think that we are ......."
"Shut up! It's really getting more and more unruly, go outside and kneel! Su Lang directly scolded Xiaohong, and then said to Su Baiyue: "You eat first, don't burn your body!" β
When Su Baiyue saw that her father had loosened her mouth, she naturally stopped being willful, and ate as soon as she got out of bed.
As soon as Su Lang left, Su Baiyue called Xiaohong back.
Xiaohong knelt for a while, her knees hurt, and she said, "Miss, can this be done?" What if it's really a marriage? β
"What if you are married? I heard that his hometown is a poor country, what good woman can there be in that place? My family background and appearance are definitely not as good as mine, so when the time comes, I will just send it away with money! Su Baiyue said, she hasn't been hungry much in the past few days, and she has eaten secretly, and letting her subordinates say that is just letting Su Lang listen to her.
Shen Shimei, who is far away in Fengyang County, naturally doesn't know so much about Kyoto City, and still lives his own small life.
"This heat must be mastered, if the heat is not right, the dish will be watery, not to mention soft, and the color will be poor!" Shen Shiliu took the apprentice very carefully, but it wasn't that she liked to take the apprentice very much, but she really couldn't learn if she didn't teach Wen Huai carefully!
Wen Huai is a bit slow to learn, and teaching it three times is basically ineffective......
Wen Huai held the pot, and it was easy to turn the spoon upside down, and nothing else ......
"Apprentice, you can practice here again, let's eat the waste dishes at night......" Shen Pomegranate is bad, and Wen Huai is also bad.
Outside the kitchen, Zheng Erzhu ran in, pulled Shen Pomegranate and ran to the lobby, Shen Pomegranate was inexplicably wonderful: "What's the matter?" β
"The county master's daughter has been killed!" Zheng Erzhu said as if he was facing a great enemy.
Shen Shiliu was stunned: "The daughter of the county master? She remembered that the owner of Jinfeng Restaurant was the son-in-law of the county magistrate, and it seemed that he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
"It's over, we have offended the daughter of the county master, we have no place in Fengyang County!" Zheng Erzhu was flustered, he had never seen this battle, and he was a little confused.
Shen Shiliu directly grabbed Zheng Erzhu: "Don't panic! The daughter of the county master also has to pay attention to a reason, in broad daylight, she can still eat people? "It's a little tricky, but she's really not afraid!
