Zhao Chengxi looked at Song Lingxiu: "What does Song Gongzi think of this person?" ”

Song Lingxiu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Although this person is a little arrogant, if he really learns people, this arrogance will not be harmless." ”

Zhao Chengxi nodded, and Song Lingxiu said again: "Although you can't judge people by their appearance, the so-called poetry and calligraphy are self-contained, and a person's knowledge and accomplishment, identity and status will be unconsciously revealed in his gestures." ”

When Zhao Chengxi heard this, he panicked: Could it be that he knows my identity?

Even Qin Chongzhou, who had been bowing his head and tasting tea, also set his eyes on Song Lingxiu.

As a result, Song Lingxiu's gaze crossed Zhao Chengxi and looked at a place behind Zhao Chengxi: "They said that Fan Gongzi seems to have no talent and will only rely on his father, but I just took a look, and his behavior is not like a young man who is shallow in learning." ”

Zhao Chengxi has no impression of this Fan Yanqing, but he still has a certain understanding of his cousin. Because Mrs. Meng regarded him as a parent, Mrs. Meng occasionally talked about him when chatting with Zhao Chengxi. It is understood that although Meng Yingran is informal by nature and likes to have fun, he still has real talent and learning, but he has no big ambitions, and his friends must not be people who have no ink.

Qin Chongzhou finally spoke: "As far as Ben Hou knows, Fan Yanqing has been taught by Fan Zhili since he was a child, and he is a person with real talent and learning, but he is also quite chic and uninhibited, and he is closer to Meng Yingran. Therefore, rumors cannot be trusted. ”

Zhao Chengxi nodded when she heard this, Qin Chongzhou's words solved her confusion.

Because Zhao Chengxi's table and Meng Yingran's table were not far away, Meng Yingran and the two also saw Zhao Chengxi at this time, and they were hesitating whether to come over to say goodbye.

Xiao Lianzi saw Meng Yingran's gesture, so he whispered a few words in Zhao Chengxi's ear.

Zhao Chengxi thought about it, took into account Song Lingxiu and the three of them, and went to Meng Yingran's table.

"Bi Gongzi, what are you going to do?" Song Qiaoqiao asked.

"You'll find out later." Zhao Chengxi kept it a secret.

Zhao Chengxi got closer and recognized this Fan Yanqing had also seen it in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, but he didn't draw the question when he beat the drum and passed the flowers, so Zhao Chengxi didn't have much impression of him.

Zhao Chengxi saw that they wanted to get up and salute, so he walked forward in three steps and two steps, pressed the shoulders of the two to stop them, and then sat down.

"I'm going to have a private interview today, don't reveal my identity."

"Is Your Majesty here today also for the leak of the test questions?" Meng Yingran asked in a low voice.

When Zhao Chengxi heard this, he was stunned: "What? You say the test questions are leaked? ”

Meng Yingran reacted, secretly annoyed that he was quick for a while, he was here to investigate this matter, and when he met His Majesty, he took it for granted that His Majesty was also here for this matter.

Zhao Chengxi saw Meng Yingran's crampedness, and said with a straight face: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Meng Yingran had to explain truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the market these days that Yanqing will take advantage of the family to win the first place in this exam, and Yanqing's character is believed by the minister, so the two of us secretly investigated who was spreading rumors." ”

Fan Yanqing, who was on the side, spoke: "Your Majesty, the grass people definitely don't have such thoughts, and my father doesn't dare to bully the king, please let Your Majesty know." ”

"How's it going?" Zhao Chengxi was noncommittal to Fan Yanqing's words and asked.

"Weichen and Yanqing found that someone used Yanqing as bait to secretly sell test questions, if this exam is destined to be unfair and provoke the candidates to be angry, at this time someone provides them with such a shortcut, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be tempted."

"Have you caught the mastermind behind it?"

"No, the people behind the scenes are careful, they are the ones who take the initiative to contact the candidates first, so I will come to Pingshuixuan today to see if anyone will be their next target." Meng Yingran sighed secretly, obviously at a loss.

"It means that the more dissatisfied you are with Fan Yanqing, the more likely you are to be targeted by them?" Zhao Chengxi rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"So to speak." Fan Yanqing added: "You also have to be wealthy, after all, the test questions are not cheap. ”

"It's easy to do, you two watch, remember to improvise." Zhao Chengxi stood up as soon as his words fell.

Meng Yingran and the others didn't understand what Zhao Chengxi meant, but they saw Zhao Chengxi pointing at Fan Yanqing's nose and scolded angrily: "Young Master Ben is so angry here, and I have persuaded you for so long, but I didn't expect you to refuse to admit it, and keep using your official father to pressure me, okay!" You're amazing! This young master has been reading poetry and books for so long, but he didn't expect to meet such a bad seed as you who rely on your father! ”

Zhao Chengxi's sudden crackling accusation directly made Meng Yingran and Fan Yanqing stunned, but fortunately, Meng Yingran immediately realized Zhao Chengxi's intentions, reacted, quickly entered the play, and replied unceremoniously: "What is your identity, since you dare to talk to us like this!" ”

"Let me tell you, Young Master Ben doesn't have the dignity of your officials, but Young Master Ben is also a big family in our hometown, so he is rich! Young Master Ben scolded you today, and he was happy, and the tea money of everyone here was recorded in the account of Young Master Ben! ”

Zhao Chengxi is so high-profile, naturally it attracted the attention of the audience, everyone heard it, this person is a character, not only pointed at Fan Yanqing and scolded him, but also exempted them from tea money, which is really happy.

Xiao Lianzi immediately understood, went downstairs to settle the bill, Zhao Chengxi passed by Meng Yingran's side and quickly said, "I'll see me in the Hou Mansion later", and after speaking, he went downstairs as if nothing happened, and responded with a smile to the attention of the people everywhere while walking, so embarrassed.

Song Qiaoqiao asked, "Eh, why did he leave without saying hello?" ”

"Are we going to leave too?" Song Mingming also asked.

"Wait." Qin Chongzhou and Song Lingxiu opened their mouths in unison.

As soon as the two finished speaking, they looked at each other again and were silent.

Zhao Chengxi got out of Pingshuixuan and did not get into the carriage, but walked around the street.

"Your Majesty, someone is following us." Chang Yi whispered in Zhao Chengxi's ear.

"Ignore him." The corners of Zhao Chengxi's mouth raised, and a fish was hooked.

Zhao Chengxi fully showed what it means to be rich and wealthy along the way, what he saw and what he bought, and he bought all the way until Xiao Lianzi and Chang Yi couldn't hold it with four hands, and Zhao Chengxi gave up.

The three of them were tired of shopping, so they found a restaurant and ordered all the signature dishes. Just when Zhao Chengxi was full of food and wine, and secretly cursed in his heart why the person who was following him didn't come out, a man with two mustaches sat opposite Zhao Chengxi.

Chang Yi just wanted to step forward and drive away, but Zhao Chengxi stopped with a look, and looked at the person with a smile: "What is this brother doing?" ”
