Chapter Seventy-Six: A Winner in Life

readx;

Xinyuelou's predecessor Oiran Guan He unexpectedly ransomed out of the building, which made countless people in the capital sigh, thinking that Xinyuelou had lost its pillar this time, and the business was naturally much worse, but he didn't expect that the boss of Xinyuelou was really a big skill, and he actually dug up the first name in Jiangnan.

Different from Guan He's tall and generous, Moyu is a typical Jiangnan woman, gentle as water, small and exquisite, but it makes the people in the capital extraordinarily novel, waiting for three or five months, Guan He has already been slowly forgotten by people, after all, it is just a Qinglou woman, if now who still says that he is nostalgic for the name of the previous Oiran, isn't it a joke?

It was almost noon, but what was surprising was that today's Moyu girl, who had only been in the capital for a few months and had a firm foothold, did not go to a nap as she had done in the past, and was already performing very stage.

Mo Yu's singing and dancing talents are naturally excellent.

After clearing the many girls who accompanied the dance, Moyu sat there in an emerald green skirt and sang while stroking the piano, the sound of the piano is a common resentment song in Jiangnan, sad and sad, people who are accustomed to Guan He's soft and beautiful style obviously lack immunity to this, and some extremely sensitive scholars and scholars are red-eyed, and they really can't wait to go on stage to comfort that Moyu.

Moyu's voice is also extremely beautiful, with the unique feminine style of Jiangnan women, soft and glutinous, it can provoke people's hearts, the voice seems to have a magical power, and the straight people feel that their hearts tremble, and they feel that they seem to have a flirtatious meaning if they have nothing, and then look at Moyu's charming little face that may be tired of Fuqin, everyone in the audience really can't wait to take pity on it, some of them have been in the Fengyue Field for a long time, but they unconsciously fantasize about it, such a painful beauty, such a delicate and seductive voice, if you receive it in the room, do the things of men and women at night............ After singing the last sentence, the sound of the piano also stopped abruptly, because she was working too hard, Mo Yujiao on the stage was panting, her pretty face was red, her eyes looked upstairs, and then she shook her salute, as if she was thanking the guests, and as if she was saluting someone.

Looking at your Oiran Jiaojiao's panting appearance, there was an ambiguous laughter in the audience, as if I remembered some similar scenes.

Mo Yu got up, although she had a charming little face like a fox, but compared to her small and delicate height, her figure was indeed a little more domineering.

Childlike face**!

The old qualified Fengyue guests in the audience suddenly came up with this word in their minds, just looking at Moyu's movements, the delicate people secretly looked back upstairs, obviously, there is a reason why Moyu is so hard working today, maybe there is a big man sitting in a box upstairs now, even if the background is as deep as Xinyuelou, he does not dare to slack off, and sends Oiran to work hard to curry favor.

A few figures faintly appeared in the window of the best box upstairs, and then I heard a male duck shouting in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a reward!"

The people downstairs are all frightened, although there are many big people who come to Xinyue Tower, but there are not many people who seem to be as special as the prince.

............................................................................................................... Not to mention the discussion of the low voice downstairs, in the best and largest box upstairs, the crown prince Li Zhi, who was praised by Emperor Liang as gentle as jade, was drinking with a group of people, and there were rookies in Shilin like the new champion Guo Xianyan, like Li Liang, the son of King Jing, who was bound to ascend to a high position in the future, and a promising rookie like Chu An, the third young master of the Chu family, but at this moment, the only core was His Royal Highness the Prince.

Li Zhi also drank a lot of wine, with a slight flush on his pale face, and became more and more handsome and elegant.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank a glass of wine with everyone without pretense, his face turned pale for a while, and he looked a little dizzy, but he still said with a strong smile: "I am really happy that this king can sit at the same table with you today, and I can't hold it back for a while, I drank too much, and please don't laugh." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help retching a few times, and his expression was extremely painful.

Many scholars were really worried and moved, and hurriedly persuaded the prince to put down the wine glass, and resolutely did not allow the prince to drink it again, and the middle-aged eunuch behind the prince also served sobering tea in a timely manner, Li Zhi drank a few sips, and his face looked better.

Guo Xianyan is the champion of today's department, and naturally he is the leader of many scholars, and said with some gratitude: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't think we are shallow, and we are really moved, but if His Royal Highness hurts his body because of this, it not only violates the original intention of this banquet, but also makes me feel guilty and uncomfortable.

Seeing the pain that Li Zhi was really drinking, everyone also echoed in unison.

Li Zhi shook his head with a smile, frowned and said, "This is a big fallacy!"

Guo Xianyan was frightened and shocked, and was busy getting up to apologize, and everyone was also nervous, not knowing why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly said such a thing.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to hold Guo Xianyan down, and said slowly: "When the banquet was held today, this king said that this is the king's private banquet for you, and it is a private banquet, so don't care too much about etiquette. I regard you and Guo Gongzi as friends, and just now Guo Gongzi opened his mouth and called him a subordinate official, wouldn't it not give face to this king? Isn't it a big mistake!"

Guo Xianyan was held down by Li Zhi's arm, and he couldn't get up, but his body trembled with excitement, and he finally pressed his mood, picked up his wine glass and said in a trembling voice: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, Your Majesty is ...... No, the student punished himself with three cups!"

Many scholars also felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really kind and generous, and their expressions were a little moved, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people and mixed eyes, they would be afraid that they would kneel on the ground and swear allegiance to the death, but only Chu An and Li Liang looked at each other and smiled, which was meaningful.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi pressed Guo Xianyan's arm again, smiled at everyone and said, "Look, Guo Gongzi is so scheming, he just said that he would change the tea, and he will take the opportunity to drink secretly............"

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Guo Xianyan with an embarrassed face and laughed.

............................................................................................................... The atmosphere reached ** for a while, and everyone removed the wine utensils and replaced them with tea, since His Royal Highness the Prince is so enlightened and friendly, everyone has let go a lot, and they got together to talk about it, and even a few sat on the ground with a tea cup, but there was a bit of a sense of madness in the previous dynasty.

Outside, Mo Yu had just finished playing and singing to herself, and the middle-aged eunuch bowed his head to listen to Li Zhi say a few words, and walked to the window to announce his appreciation loudly.

Although Guo Xianyan was teased by Li Zhi a few times, he was still a little proud in his heart, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was expressing closeness, and at this time, he naturally wanted to fulfill the duties of his confidant and courtier, and by the way, he showed his loyalty, hesitated a few times and persuaded him euphemistically: "The student thinks that His Royal Highness has a special identity after all, and it is better to keep a low profile in a place like Xinyue Tower." ”

Li Zhi thought about it, nodded and said: "You are still thoughtful, and you have a good time drinking with everyone, and you lost your sense of proportion for a while, but since you have already said it, you naturally can't take it back, it's really a bit troublesome." ”

Guo Xianyan frowned and thought about it, there was no good countermeasure for a while, Li Zhi's eyes skimmed over everyone, but he had a bit of an exquisite meaning, at this time, whoever can say a few words may be appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince, and there will be many benefits in the future.

It's just that the more people are at this time, the more cautious they are, it's okay to say it well, no matter how bad it is, there will be something to say, if it is bad, it will outweigh the losses and lose points in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Li Zhi looked a little disappointed, to be honest, all the people present here are a few handsome people in the capital, and they can at least occupy a certain position in the officialdom in the future, but at this time, they are all cautious, and they don't even have the courage to speak, how can they rely on them as a help in the future.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and the more this happened, the more no one dared to interject indiscriminately, and Guo Xianyan even had sweat on his forehead.

Chu An pursed his lips and looked at the green tea in his hand, although this is a good tea, but for sobering up, it is extremely strong, which makes Chu An very disliked, and he can't be too maverick, so he has to pretend to be in his hand, feeling Li Zhi's eyes glance at him three times and twice, he sighed slightly in his heart, as if he suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, in fact, this matter is not difficult to solve." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and a few people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at this time, there was finally someone to solve the situation.

Guo Xianyan wiped his sweat lightly, and asked with a smile: "It's also thinking too much, these are just small sections, it's really damn damned, but I don't know what Brother Chu thinks." ”

Chu An smiled at Li Zhi, then focused his eyes on the teacup in his hand again, and said softly: "Although this is a small section, but after all, His Royal Highness has a special status, how many pairs of eyes are watching, since it is mentioned to make things complete, at least there can't be any unpleasant words." ”

Guo Xianyan's expression was stagnant, but he was a little impatient in his heart, it was originally a casual sentence to express his loyalty, Chu An didn't have the slightest intention of rounding the field for himself, it was really a little uninteresting, but Chu An's status in the capital was not mentioned, even in this small circle with the crown prince Li Zhi as the core that had not yet been formally formed, Chu An's status was much higher than his own, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time, so he had to drink tea to cover up his embarrassment.

Chu An glanced at Guo Xianyan and shook his head secretly, this person has a talent to learn, but after all, his vision is limited, and he seems to be more eager to do things, maybe he can be useful in the future, but now he seems shallow, thinking of Chu Nan and Guo Xianyan's unhappiness, he shook his head and threw these thoughts out, naturally he didn't want to admit that his attitude towards Guo Xianyan was influenced by Chu Nan, and he said concentratingly: " Speaking of which, it is really nothing for His Highness to go out to meet friends, and going out to drink and listen to music with a group of friends can also show that His Highness is close to the people and kind, but after all, there are many people here, and it is inevitable that something bad will be said to go out, which may damage His Highness's reputation. ”

Li Zhi looked at Chu An and said eloquently, nodded slightly, and encouraged Chu An to continue with his eyes.

Chu An took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, only felt bitter, where is there a way to make the tea fragrant, put it aside casually, and continued: "Your Highness is kind, we here know about it, but people outside don't know. At this time, His Highness might as well do more, such as coming forward to order him to go down and serve some high-quality snacks and fruits to the people outside............"

A person next to him interjected: "It's better to settle the outside account together............

Chu An sighed softly, shook his head and said: "No, the tea house outside is worth a lot of money, and it is not a small amount when added together, if His Royal Highness comes forward to settle the account, do you think, will the people praise His Highness for his goodwill or sigh that the royal family is rich?"

The man looked embarrassed and stepped aside with a wry smile.

Li Zhi glanced at Chu An deeply, then laughed and nodded, turned around and ordered, and after a while, he heard a sound of gratitude outside, and when Li Zhi walked to the window to answer the salute, the noise outside was even louder.

Li Zhi sat down again with great satisfaction, uncovered the topic, looked at Chu An's eyes with some meaning, smiled and talked to Chu An, the words were very enveloping, but Chu An didn't seem to understand, and he was very measured when he answered, but he didn't have the meaning of taking refuge.

Guo Xianyan looked at Chu An with a little jealousy, and he was also a little disappointed in his heart, he tried his best to show his loyalty, but Chu An was in the limelight.

Li Zhi was also a little disappointed when he saw that Chu An did not have the slightest intention of throwing himself into his account, but he was more happy, not to mention the Chu family behind Chu An, just to say that Chu An's thoughtful thinking today will have a great future in the household department in the future.

Hubu, that's the money bag of the girder!

The atmosphere slowly became warm again, Li Zhi was also exquisite, seeing that Guo Xianyan looked a little depressed, he smiled and mentioned everyone's official affairs, but it made Guo Xianyan excited again.

Everyone here wants to make a career, and most of them are close to Li Zhi for the sake of a smooth career, but such as Chu'an, who really has some foundation, will not easily take refuge in the past, and most of the people here are just starting out in their careers, among which Guo Xianyan is the most smooth.

The new champion, the registered disciple of the scholar of the Chaosu University, now looks like he is going to be appreciated by the prince again, it looks really promising, of course, it is actually the same, at least the starting point is the imperial history of the eight products of the Imperial Inspectorate, even if his background is as good as Chu Qing, the fourth son of the Chu family, he has to go out honestly and start from the nine products after taking the prince's door, not to mention that it is the imperial history of the road and the place, which is humble and powerful!

Only Chu An and Li Liang remained unchanged in the audience, and the others couldn't help but show envious looks, especially Chu Qing, the fourth son of the Chu family who was making friends with a noble son in the corner, his eyes were clearly jealous and even jealous!

It's just a pity that Zhao Yuan, the beloved son of Chu An of the Chu family and Zhao Tianlong, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, is a minority after all, and he can show his talents in front of Emperor Liang at a young age, and he was entrusted with important tasks from the beginning.

Guo Xianyan is the champion of the new department, recommended by the recognized Su scholar of high character, and is very used in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the right imperial envoy Liang Rang has been praised in public several times, but it is a pity that the authority to promote is mostly in the hands of Emperor Liang, even if he is excellent, he has to work hard for qualifications, but the future of this person is recognized as promising.

Li Liang looked hesitant, frowned and thought about it, and said with a smile: "If you say that the future is immeasurable, I think you still have to say that the fifth young master of the Chu family is only twenty years old, right? ”

Li Liang is the prince of King Jing, and the only one who can make him bend over is the crown prince Li Zhi, even if he is like Chu An, he is polite at most, and at this time, he will not care about Guo Xianyan's face, ignoring Guo Xianyan's ugly face, taking a sip of tea and continuing: " Ha, think about it, that Brother Chu is really amazing, even if he stabbed such a big basket in Jiangnan, His Majesty only lightly exposed it, no, just after the recovery even promoted a few levels, it is still a six-grade member Wailang who is scared to death, even when the war was raging during the first emperor's period, there was no such precedent, right? Also, it is said that the fifth young master of the Chu family is extremely unfavored in the Chu family, but that is marrying the eldest lady of the Yang family, a famous beauty in the capital, this is not counted, the arrogant girl Guan He is also in love at first sight, and willingly rejected the prince and became the concubine of the Chu family............"

Li Zhi also knew about the grievances between Chu Nan and Guo Xianyan, and looking at Guo Xianyan's extremely ugly face, he wanted to persuade a few words to let Li Liang pay attention.

Li Liang was interested, grabbed Li Zhi's hand and said mysteriously: "Do you know that my father's righteous daughter is my righteous sister Xian'er, she is much more favored than me in front of my father, but a few days ago I heard my righteous sister begging my father, which means that she is also very fond of the fifth young master of the Chu family, this can't go out and talk nonsense, if your father is unhappy, everyone will be very miserable." Also, isn't it rumored that the Seventh Princess also looks at him different............ly recently? What a ............."

Chu listened quietly, took a few sips of the tea on the table, but he didn't know when he changed to light tea, and the impression of Li Zhi in his heart became a little clearer, looking at Li Liang for a while, his eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was missing something, and as if he was feeling something, he said with a smile: "If my fifth brother is in this situation, he should be called a winner in life!"

Li Liang was stunned, then stroked his palms and laughed.

Everyone's expressions became weird, Chu Nan's rocket-like ascension is naturally a hot topic in the capital, and it is well known that many beauties fall in love, Guo Xianyan Chu Nan has had several conflicts It is not a secret, and every time he was severely humiliated by Chu Nan, at this time, although Li Liang was just sighing, but at this time, it sounded inevitable that there was a suspicion of slapping Guo Xianyan in the face at this time.

At this moment, there were a few greetings from downstairs, the voice was a little familiar, a sharp-eyed probe looked at it, and said softly with some excitement: "It's Lord Xiao Chu, the new member of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The words were said to the crown prince Li Zhi, but his eyes were looking at Guo Xianyan, and he was a little gloating, just waiting for how Guo Xianyan's nemesis would embarrass Guo Xianyan this time.

The crown prince Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to order: "Go and please!"
