"Xi'er, isn't it masochistic to not eat or drink like this? Why bother? ”

Meng Lingxi, who was lying on the bed, was still indifferent when he heard this, he couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.

Meng Shunlin sighed deeply, and asked his subordinates to bring down the soup that was already cold, and then change the heat.

The Great Elder entered the room, and when he saw the silent and decadent Meng Lingxi, he stepped forward and slapped Meng Lingxi hard, beating Meng Lingxi into a daze, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at him.

Meng Lingxi was a little dazed at the moment, the Great Elder had always loved him, and he had never been so strict with him.

He was reluctant to even say anything serious, let alone beat him.

"Let me ask you, you have been talented and intelligent since you were a child, and your family says that you are a natural talent, and the clan has done its best to cultivate you, but you have lost to Su Yizhao, do you feel ashamed?"

The Great Elder's words made Meng Lingxi's face pale, and his voice was like a mosquito fly, "Yes!" Xi'er is ashamed! ”

Just when he thought that the Great Elder was going to continue to reprimand him, he heard the Great Elder's rebuttal.

"Nope! You shouldn't be ashamed! ”

The Great Elder's words surprised him very much, and he looked up at the Great Elder, only to see that there was not the slightest anger in the Great Elder's eyes, only kindness and tolerance.

"I'll tell you the truth, I calculated a hexagram for you and Su Yizhao before. This son is very strange, and if you come into contact with him, it will be a blessing and a curse. ”

Meng Lingxi was shocked, he looked at the Great Elder inquiringly, his eyes full of doubts.

"He's really powerful, and we're all defeated by him when we fight."

The Great Elder sighed, "Even we are all in his way, let alone you who are not deeply involved in the world. ”

Of course, there are reasons for contempt, but I have to admit that his plan is good. This son is really a demon, and you are not surprised or ashamed to be defeated by him. ”

Hearing the Great Elder's undisguised appreciation for Su Yizhao, Meng Lingxi lowered his head in disappointment.

He stepped forward and touched Meng Lingxi's head, "But people can't stand still, everyone will grow." He is one step ahead of you, and you can only catch up until you become him and surpass him. Instead of self-pity and self-abandonment. ”

Speaking of the latter, the Great Elder's tone became stern.

"He's a formidable opponent, maybe you've been chasing him all your life, or maybe you've surpassed him years later."

"Leave aside the rest for the time being, just talk about the nature of the mind. Only with a firm heart can we go to the end. And Su Yizhao's heart is different from ordinary people, his strength not only refers to his talent, but also to his heart, which you should learn from him. ”

Meng Lingxi was thoughtful, he was a little embarrassed, compared to Su Yizhao, he was indeed not calm enough.

In the face of two critical situations that seemed to be dead, he was able to take it calmly and quickly think of countermeasures. Deploy step by step and turn things around, this is his strength. ”

Meng Lingxi was very ashamed when he heard this, and he felt more and more that he was not worthy of being compared with Su Yizhao.

In fact, what the Great Elder didn't say was that Xi'er regarded him as an opponent, but Su Yizhao didn't take Xi'er in his eyes at all, Su Yizhao was aiming at the court.

It's just that he can't say this, he found that Xi'er's temperament has been a little crooked in the past two years, and he must correct it, and he can't let a good child be ruined by his own demons.

"I say all this, not to make you arrogant, but to make you think of him as a formidable opponent. Face him and surpass him. ”

He patted Meng Lingxi on the shoulder, feeling a little sorry for the burden on his shoulders at a young age.

"Xi'er, cheer up. You are simple-minded, he is scheming, and that's why you lost to him. ”

The Great Elder looked at Meng Lingxi, who was a little stunned, and said: "But this is what you must have to enter the office, no one can always maintain your heart, the court is the battlefield, you must adapt as soon as possible." The old man believes in you and believes that you will grow up as soon as possible. ”

Meng Lingxi pursed his lips, and then smiled bitterly.

They are naturally hostile and cannot sympathize with each other. If you have a different position, you can't become friends after all.

If they want to rise up, they may damage Su Yizhao's interests and damage the interests of the Su family.

That's it! So be it! If you can't be a friend, then let him be an opponent who can compete with Su Yizhao, which is also good.

The Great Elder saw that Meng Lingxi had figured it out, and his eyes were immediately filled with relief.

When the fourth prince and the prince of Jing'an arrived at the Northern Yuan Mansion, it was already three days later.

The group entered the restaurant, intending to stop here.

However, as soon as they stepped into the restaurant, they heard someone in the hall talking about Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi.

Now, the rumors of several nearby prefectures have been overwhelming, and Su Yizhao and Meng Lingxi have become famous.

However, whether the reputation of the two is good or bad in the end depends on the results of the final investigation.

"According to me, let the government compare Su Yizhao's volume, then won't the truth come out? Why make everyone suspicious? ”

The four princes and their entourage sat down one by one, and as soon as they ordered food, they heard a scholar next to them talking loudly.

"What Brother Feng said is reasonable, and I also think this is the most fair." One of his tablemates immediately chimed in.

"It's really strange to say this, why is there no movement in the government when it is so uproar?" Someone couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

Suddenly, a scholar leaned over to their table, and then said mysteriously to a few people: "Then it means that there are some things here, where do we outsiders know?" ”

The scholars at that table all looked at each other, and then their eyes flashed with gossip.

"Brother Lu, could it be that you still know some inside information?" The scholar surnamed Feng just now immediately asked.

"Huh~ You think about the identities of the two of them, one is a son of the family, and the other is a closed disciple of Shoufu, who knows if this involves the court?"

The Brother Lu sat down at that table as he spoke, and then several people at the same table immediately brought him tea and poured water, looking like they were listening attentively.

Even the people at the other tables pricked up their ears, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

"I see! Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, it depends on who can have the last laugh. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, "We people! Just watch the excitement, but don't get mixed in with it. Otherwise, I don't know if I will become cannon fodder when the time comes, so who is Xie Yuan? We don't get any good. ”

His words made everyone present speechless and came back to their senses.

Oh, yes! What are they talking about? Anyway, this Xie Yuan won't be able to take their turn.

Zong Zeming glanced at this person deeply, but he didn't expect this person's brain to be quite clear.

He pondered for a moment, then bowed to the man. "This brother, have you ever had a meal? If you don't dislike it, join us? ”

This Brother Lu has long noticed Zong Zeming and his party, no, this group of people is either rich or expensive, and they are outstanding, and they are from everyone's background.

I don't know what the reason is, he was a little hesitant. But after a while, he decided to go to the table and join in the fun.

These people are noble, and if I can make friends with them, I should not suffer.
