Chapter 164: Ask Gongsun Jin for help
Depressed mansions, weeds.
It's not that the owner of the mansion can't see it, but he really doesn't bother to clean it.
He sat sullenly and waited, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks at the blank paper in front of him, not knowing how to put pen to paper.
It's been almost three months since he came to the capital, and every time he writes a letter to his family, it's the most tormenting time for him.
Gongsun Jin was worried, and the tips of his ears suddenly moved, listening to the sound outside the door.
Who knew that the man swaggered open the door, and a cold voice immediately sounded: "Can't even afford to raise a subordinate?" β
Jiang Huaiyin looked disgusted and walked into the room.
Gongsun Jin relaxed, "It's not that I can't afford it, it's that I definitely don't have much time in the capital, so there's no need to go to great lengths to find a servant." β
He got up and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Huaiyin, but he couldn't remember when the teacup was last cleaned, there was thick dust at the bottom of the cup, Gongsun Jin blew it embarrassedly, and still poured it for him.
Jiang Huaiyin didn't even look at it, and wanted to find a chair to sit down, but found that except for the position where Gongsun Jin had just sat down, the rest were backlogged and I didn't know whether to use soil to describe it, or mud to use more appropriate dust.
Shaking his head in a word, Jiang Huaiyin sat on Gongsun's chair by himself, fiddling with his fingers and glancing at the blank family letter, "Is this a good time to study?" β
"Wrong!" Gongsun Jin said bluntly, "I'm writing a letter of guilt." β
If the old man knew that he didn't even take the exam, he would have been a concubine in the eighth room for the rest of his life, and it was estimated that he would have to drink the northwest wind with him.
"Don't want to be in the job like that?" Jiang Huaiyin raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Gongsun Jin nodded solemnly, "The water in the capital is too deep, I just don't want to serve that faint king." Of course, if you're sitting in that position, that's a different story. β
He smiled ruffianly and sat opposite Jiang Huaiyin without care.
Jiang Huaiyin: "You enter the office first, even if you are on the list, this king can arrange a way back for you, as for the teacher, you can also have an explanation." β
"Cut~ You're going to be so good?" Gongsun Jin sneered, "Say, what's the purpose?" β
Jiang Huaiyin: "Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people, Li Xiang's faction has injected a large number of scholars to participate in this year's Spring Festival, and the king of Zhenbei has also planned for many years, arranging a lot of people who can't find out the details on the surface, but are loyal to him behind the scenes." This king wants you to participate in the Spring Festival, and it is best to find out the list. β
"Undercover?" Gongsun Jin's trembling expression was a little exaggerated, "Such a difficult thing, why don't you find someone else?" β
Jiang Huaiyin picked up the pen and wrote something on the paper casually, "Although this king's martial arts are higher than you, in terms of knowledge, they are slightly inferior to you." β
"Martial arts are higher than me?" Gongsun Jin was like a fried orangutan, got up and began to roll up his sleeves, and hooked his fingers at Jiang Huaiyin, "Come, call him out, let's compete!" β
Jiang Huaiyin wrote well, put down the pen, and looked contemptuous, "If you go to participate in the Spring Festival, you can find out the person of this king, and it will not be too late to compete again!" β
"After all, they still want to trick me into participating in the imperial examination!" Gongsun Jin sat back in the chair with a good face, but a blank piece of paper suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was the words that Jiang Huaiyin had just written.
The font is neat and has the publicity of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, Gongsun Jin pouted, "You don't take the test yourself - three thousand taels?" β
After Gongsun Jin saw the words on it clearly, his eyes sparkled, and the corners of his lips were about to reach the root of his ears.
"Is that true?"
Jiang Huaiyin tapped his finger on the table, "It's three thousand taels of high school champions, five hundred on the list, and one hundred on the flowers." β
The teacher didn't even give him a chance to go to Beijing, and Jiang Huaiyin knew that Gongsun Jin was short of money.
After all, there are still eight concubines in his hometown to rely on him to feed.
Gongsun Jin's delicate face flashed a trace of struggle, and then he looked at Jiang Huaiyin as if he were dead, "Deal!" Three thousand taels, all in cash! β
The corners of Jiang Huaiyin's lips twitched, "Don't worry, there is another additional condition." β
Gongsun Jin looked at him vigilantly, "What other prerequisites are there?" Can't you afford to play? β
The piece of paper was like an IOU, and he held it tightly in his arms, refusing to let go.
Jiang Huaiyin smiled with a hint of embarrassment, didn't look at him, and tried to make himself look less embarrassed and said: "The premise is - how to make the goddess affectionate?" β
"Poof!" Gongsun Jin suspected that he had misheard, plucked out his ears, and looked at Jiang Huaiyin's helpless expression that he had never shown, but finally couldn't hold back and laughed heartily-

Murong Fu's post came really fast.
The next day, Murong Ji received it.
It was still offered by the son-in-law of the third room, the so-called fourth cousin Murong Hao.
Murong Xi knew the old lady's intentions, but Murong Xi would never be able to reveal half a point to him.
Xu is Murong Hao has a bit of the pride of a scholar in his bones, and he did not test Murong Hao with words.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Murong Hao also instructed Bai Lu to find some good things and let Murong Hao take them back to the house for the old lady.
She sent Murong Hao away with her front foot, and then received another invitation.
Yes - Oriental Glass!
The marriage was really decided, even if Dongfang Li did not agree, the wedding was held as usual.
It can be seen that whether it is the deep palace or the rivers and lakes, as long as it is a person with status, more or less, he will be involuntarily.
Murong Ji opened the post and looked at it, the wedding date was a little rushed, at the end of this month.
I took a closer look at Old Madam Murong's birthday, which was the end of next month.
I also gave her some time to maneuver.
She pinched Dongfang Li's invitation, nodded her chin lightly, and began to think about how to move Jiang Huaiyin and let her leave the capital, go to Jiangnan, and run away directly?
He shook his head violently.
Murong Xi restrained her thoughts.
Every step she takes now will be followed secretly, and the most important thing is that the matter of the fire in Murong Mansion has just become a bit eyebrow-raising, and she must find out the truth before she can successfully retreat.
Swallowing the thoughts that were sealed in the bottom of his heart, when Murong Xi was pondering, Ye Lan suddenly knocked on the door.
"Princess, the prince is invited."
Murong Xi stared at the figure outside the door with a numb scalp, and stumbled in response, "I want to take a nap, does the prince have something important?" If it doesn't matterβ"
Ye Lan: "One hundred thousand urgent. β
"Here we are." Murong Xi rolled her eyes, Jiang Huaiyin in her eyes has always been calm and unhurried, even if she is in a hurry, she is still in a hurry?
Stepping into the study with an awkward mind, after hearing Jiang Huaiyin finish talking to him seriously, Murong Xi suddenly felt that Ye Lan's description was correct.
This news is simply urgent.
She flattered and poured a glass of water for Jiang Huaiyin, "It turns out that the prince is going to Jiangnan?" I haven't been to Jiangnan yet, I heard that Jiangnan is beautiful, can the prince take me to see it for a long time? β
Jiang Huaiyin raised her eyes to look at her angrily, "Do you want to go to Jiangnan?" β
