Chapter 264: Muddy the Waters

Just for this pot of flowers, I have to make a room for it alone, Zhongbo said that he didn't understand.

Forget about making a flower house, the lord still wants to find a merchant in the Western Regions to buy a few pieces of glass to install the window.

Is that glass easy to buy? Buying such a pot of flowers is simply a waste of money and labor.

The lord is really too extravagant, if he hadn't tried his best to persuade him, saying that it was too difficult to buy glass, the lord thought for a moment, and then gave up!

Otherwise, when he returns to the capital, the old man will definitely be scolded by the old lady.

After all, the old man said that he had no silver, and he wanted to find the second old lady to borrow money, and let the second old lady go to the old lady to ask for silver, didn't this make the old lady lose face?

"Sir! The Seventh Young Master is back, saying that he has something important to discuss with you! ”

Gu Yuan suddenly walked in and reported to Su Wenqing.

Su Wenqing looked at the sun outside from the window, and was suddenly a little confused, "Finished the exam so early?" ”

"The Seventh Young Master is the first to go out of the Dragon Gate every time." Uncle Zhong said with a bit of pride in his words, but after a moment, he frowned.

"But in the past, the Seventh Young Master would wait for the other young masters to return to the house together, why did they come back so early today? Did something happen? ”

Anyway, Uncle Zhong didn't believe that other young masters had also finished the exam so early, and he was only at the beginning of the application at this moment.

"Let him in!" Su Wenqing was still admiring the orchids, and he didn't care about the authenticity.

Su Yizhao quickly stepped into the study, which surprised Gu Yuan.

This little boy is not big, but he has always been calm and unhurried in the past, but he has never seen such an eagerness.

Although Su Yizhao's face was as usual at the moment, and he even smiled and asked him to report just now, he still saw a clue.

"Father! My son has something important to discuss with you individually. ”

As soon as Su Yizhao said this, Uncle Zhong and Gu Yuan couldn't hear the sound outside the strings, so they retired one after another.

"What is so urgent? Did you come out without finishing it? Su Wenqing looked at Su Yizhao and asked suspiciously.

Su Yizhao shook his head, and then handed the letter to Su Wenqing.

Su Wenqing took the letter very puzzled, but after seeing the content of the letter, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned the letter over and over again, and finally looked puzzled.

What does that mean? Where did you get the letter? Who wrote it to you? ”

Su Wenqing read it, and there was no signature on the letter.

Su Yizhao shook his head, "I don't know who wrote it, but he did remind us." If we handle it properly, we can defuse this catastrophe. ”

"No matter what the other party's purpose is, it doesn't matter if you secretly help us, or if you want to fish in troubled waters! At present, the most important thing is to think of countermeasures first. ”

Su Yizhao walked to the bookcase and poured himself a bowl of tea.

Su Wenqing looked at the contents of the letter and pondered for a moment, "You mean, you are mentioned in the letter written by Mrs. Zhu to the prefect?" ”

Su Wenqing is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is still very smart, but he is very lazy on weekdays.

"Since the news was sent to me, it means that the matter is related to me. Now that it is the time of the children's examination, if someone makes a fuss about it and gives us a trumped-up charge of cheating in the imperial examination, wouldn't our Su family suffer from unjustified disasters? ”

Su Yizhao's words finally made Su Wenqing's face solemn, and he glanced at Su Yizhao, "What do you think?" Tell me about it! ”

"It can be big or small, it depends on how to deal with it. However, it is unlikely that we will be able to calculate our Su family, and it is more like that we are coming for Mrs. Zhu and the prefect. ”

Su Yizhao put down the tea bowl, and then pondered, and said: "I'm afraid that the prefect was calculated, and someone exposed the matter of Mrs. Zhu's letter to the prefect, and even did not hesitate to build momentum for me before, in order to make people think that the prefect took special care of me because of Mrs. Zhu's relationship." ”

"You mean, those people are mainly for Mrs. Zhu?" Su Wenqing also analyzed.

"You may not know much about the court. The Zhu Taifu family is a pure minister, and they have not found out which vein the Zhu family wants to take refuge in recently. ”

Su Wenqing's meaning was very clear, but he immediately thought of the third prince.

"Is it because Taifu Zhu had the idea of accepting you as a disciple before, making people think that the Zhu family wants to join the command of the third prince?"

Su Wenqing rubbed his chin, feeling that he was not bad at analyzing.

Su Yizhao nodded, "It's possible!" But that's not enough. Perhaps, it was the Zhu family who secretly made some changes, which made the people behind them throw a mouse trap and want to stop all this. ”

Hearing this, Su Wenqing glanced at Su Yizhao deeply, but saw that Su Yizhao was frowning and pondering at the moment.

He suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and then said, "Maybe! It's just that this is all our suspicion, and it is groundless. ”

"The most important thing at the moment is to pick out our Su clan! The emperor has always hated fraud in the imperial examinations, and the punishment is relatively severe. If you are charged with such a crime, our Su clan will also collapse. ”

Su Wenqing paused, and then said: "But we don't know the content of the letter, and we don't know what the prefect means." ”

"Perhaps, let's meet with the prefect in secret, and then discuss countermeasures together. Anyway, now they are grasshoppers on a rope, and they can only go hand in hand. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked to Su Yizhao and carefully observed her expression.

Su Yizhao immediately shook his head, "Father, you are a gentleman, you may not have imagined how dirty the villain would be." ”

"We are above board, but outsiders don't know about it. In order to avoid gossip, meeting with the prefect in secret will only confirm the rumors. Those people may have planted spies on the prefect or our house, so let's not act rashly. ”

If you can't be calm and self-controlled, you will inevitably be in chaos when you encounter this matter, and this will have to expose a lot of flaws.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Su Wenqing's eyes, and then said, "Then what countermeasures have you come up with?" Let's hear it. ”

"Since someone wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, then we might as well muddy the water even more." Su Yizhao smiled, and then a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Su Wenqing asked suspiciously.

"My son likes to read the newspaper of the palace in the middle of the court, but the newspaper is interesting. Sometimes it is a major national event, sometimes it is a dispute between officials, and even a trivial matter in the backyard of some officials' homes. ”

Su Wenqing knew about Su Yizhao's liking to read the Di newspaper, because every time Su Yizhao took it from him.

He nodded, although he didn't know why Su Yizhao suddenly mentioned this, but he still waited for the following.

"Last month, my son read the newspaper and learned that the aunt of the fourth prince had a perverse temperament and was very particular about pomp. I wanted to invite a golden Buddha from Fayun Temple to go back and worship, but the golden Buddha was a businessman who made a vow to recast the golden body of the Buddha statue. ”

Su Yizhao's words made Su Wenqing nod, in fact, he didn't pay attention to these in the past, only looked at the major events in the court.
