Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Prince
It was getting late, and five people sat around the fire.
Tu Zhangzhang's eyes fell on Li Yunlin, and he was reluctant to look away every time he rolled out a fish-belly white eye.
Li Yunlin didn't notice him at all, relying on his wrist injury, he asked Tiange to help him grill the fish, and his eyes were on her face, lingering.
Her dense black eyelashes were like black feathers, lightly covering those watery eyes, and her pretty side face added a bit of color under the jumping firelight.
She turned her eyes, coldly handed the grilled fish to him, and turned her head sideways to continue grilling the fish without any emotion.
Li Yunlin lost his mind slightly.
Suddenly, I missed the old Tiange very much, and when I turned my eyes to look at him, I always had a bright smile.
Meng Yuanxiu suddenly spoke, "Girl, the three of us have discussed it today, but we still can't borrow your money to participate in the imperial examination." One is that we are very likely to be unable to afford it, and the second is that the imperial examination is deep, and I heard that the middle school examination every year is predetermined, either high-ranking officials and relatives, or a lot of money is given, so we don't need to fight this water. ”
Chu Tiange persuaded: "Try it, it doesn't matter if you hit the water." ”
Meng Yuanxiu shook his head, "It's really not necessary, girl, thank you for your kindness." ”
He took out the silver ticket given by Tiange and stuffed it back into her hand.
Li Yunlin interjected: "You want to participate in the imperial examination? ”
Meng Yuanxiu was indifferent to him, but he also responded, "Hmm." ”
"Give me your name, and I'll arrange it for you." Li Yunlin's abacus is very good, this is to help Tiange save favors, she must be very happy.
Chu Tiange was stunned and glared at him with some displeasure.
Meng Yuanxiu was shocked by his shocking remarks, and then smiled silently disapplausively, sure enough, there are few children in the family who have a good brain.
Tu Zhangzhang snorted and squirted out the fish meat in his mouth.
"I said this son-in-law, you are the imperial examination is run by your family, you say that the arrangement will be arranged? Even if it is a relative of the prime minister, you have to take care of it carefully. You better go back and ask your father first, what's going on with the imperial examination! ”
Li Yunlin suppressed his temper and said patiently: "It's my family's business." ”
Especially after the supervision of the country, the results of the palace have to be handed over to him in the end, and with this layer of rights, his control over the new officials is far better than before.
The three scholars looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Meng Yuanxiu couldn't help but laugh twice, but he lowered his voice and signaled, "Don't laugh!" ”
He said to Li Yunlin: "Just like you are a prince." But even the prince still does not have the right to say anything about the imperial examination. Except for the five princes and the crown prince in our Qianyuan Dynasty, who can interfere in the government? It's just a porcelain vase that has been hollowed out. Now the power of the imperial examination is in the hands of the prince. ”
Li Yunlin endured the anger of being despised and said, "I am the crown prince. ”
Meng Yuanxiu was stunned.
Tu Zhangzhang laughed even more unscrupulously, "Hahaha, you are the prince, the prince came here to cut his wrists and commit suicide?!" Hahaha......"
Li Yunlin's face sank.
"Hahaha, he said he was the prince! …… The prince almost died here, I saved him to survive, I have to blow this cow for a year, hahaha......"
Chu Tiange's heart trembled, and he glared at Tu Zhangzhang, who was laughing, his eyes getting colder and colder.
"Isn't it funny?"
Tu Zhangzhang seemed to have been poured cold water, and his laughter stopped abruptly, "What's wrong, isn't it funny?" ”
"One more word about him, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."
Chu Tiange said coldly.
Tu Zhangzhang was stunned for a while, and said dissatisfied: "What kind of temper are you experiencing, are you rich and amazing?" ”
Meng Yuanxiu tugged at him violently, "What are you doing?" Shut up! ”
Chu Tiange pressed Li Yunlin's fist that burst into the green muscles.
"It's funny and noble to make fun of someone else's suicide? You swallow it, chew it clean and don't talk about it again, I don't want to hear it again. ”
Meng Yuanxiu covered the mouth of Tu Zhangzhang, who still wanted to theorize, "Enough!" If you say it again, I won't be your brother. ”
Tu Zhangzhang closed his mouth, feeling more and more aggrieved, so he simply turned his back and ate the fish in a muffled voice.
Zhang Cheng leaned over and secretly whispered in his ear, "Zhangzhang, don't take it to heart, I see that Yuanxiu is in love with this girl." ”
Tu Zhangzhang was stunned for a moment, and glanced back at the woman in red, who seemed to be good-looking.
"Yuan Xiu is not blind, look at this 'prince', this girl's brain is definitely not good, so she can walk together."
Zhang Cheng said disapprerovingly: "But that girl is good-looking." ”
Tu Zhangzhang was disdainful, "I don't think so!" Far inferior to Hua Lanru. ”
"You spent all the money your father left you on that geisha, and you're still dreaming? You can't even see each other now......"
Chu Tiange relied on his extraordinary ear power to hear all their whispers into his ears, and sighed a little.
She also thinks that the embroidery girl is good-looking, and her brother used to go to the Qinglou for the embroidery girl.
But after going to the Qinglou once, he disappeared and was nowhere to be found, and his father didn't have the face to make trouble in the Qinglou, so as not to let everyone in the world know that the Chu family went to the Qinglou, and the matter would be over.
In addition, my brother was born after his father drank and was born, and he had some inferiority complex at home, and he didn't associate with her, so he didn't have any feelings, but every time he thought about it, he felt a little regretful.
Today, my brother has been missing for more than three years, and my father said that my brother must be dead.
Stuck in the past, he inadvertently turned his head sideways and bumped into Li Yunlin's hot gaze.
Li Yunlin looked at her with burning eyes.
"It's good that you'll still protect me."
Chu Tiange's face froze.
It doesn't seem to protect his thoughts.
It's just that the fact that he cut his wrists is also a sore spot for her, and she participated in this unbearable past, so she can't listen to others tearing such wounds, and she is ridiculing with great interest.
When she was full and cleaned up the mess, Li Yunlin pulled her aside and secretly whispered in her ear, "I really want to help them, just don't appreciate it." ”
Chu Tiange looked away in embarrassment and said in a low voice: "You don't want to avoid the corruption in the imperial examination, but instead abuse power for favoritism, and the Qianyuan Dynasty is worried." ”
"Only when we have power in our hands can we have the ability to drive away corruption." Li Yunlin defended himself: "The emperor who can centralize power in his hands will not be clean. ”
"Fallacies, helplessness, and complicity are two different things." Chu Tiange said.
Li Yunlin raised his wrist wrapped in bandages, and said pitifully: "I don't want to be in the same stream for a long time, I just want to make you happy." ”
Chu Tiange said: "You want to make me happy? Then go back and live a good life with your daughter-in-law and children, don't run to my house. ”
Her moonlit eyes were pale in color.
Li Yunlin said sadly: "I asked people to send Su Jin to a far place, and it should be a hundred miles away at this time." ”
Chu Tiange was stunned, "It's really unlucky to be your daughter-in-law and child." ”
"You also feel unlucky?"
"I'm alright! Nothing was lost. Timely stop loss is my blessing. ”
Meng Yuanxiu glanced at them from a distance, not knowing what they were chatting about, and it seemed to be very harmonious.
Tu Zhangzhang hurriedly muttered: "In the end, he was born with a golden soup spoon in his mouth, and he pulled it down after eating, and he didn't help." ”
"Say a few words, you." Meng Yuanxiu sighed, "No matter what you say, people really want to pay us to participate in the imperial examination." ”
"We gave her a bed, and we didn't ask for money, and this fish was also eaten for free."
Chu Tiange could hear it clearly, and the roots of his ears were slightly red.
Tomorrow, I will still go to the street to buy a shop cover and return it to them, it is indeed not good to eat for nothing.
