Chapter 68: Rumors are spreading!
When Shen Chulan heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Xue'er has worked hard these days, you go back to rest first, and leave the rest to us." ”
Seeing the two brothers say this, Xu Ruoxue couldn't tell what their attitude was for a while.
Turning her head to look at Shen Chuhan, she saw that he gave her a reassuring look and asked her to leave.
The two of them looked at each other so understandingly, which made Shen Chulan and the others feel that something was wrong.
subconsciously directly blocked Shen Chuhan's gaze as he looked at Lifelike Snow.
"Sixth brother, do you have time, let's talk?" Shen Chulan stood with his hands in his hands.
Shen Churan saw that Shen Chuhan was standing unsteadily, so he stepped forward to support him.
The three of them sat down around a stone table in the courtyard.
Although Shen Chuhan was injured, his momentum was not inferior to the two of them.
The surroundings quieted down, and Shen Churan said, "Sixth brother, don't you think you're getting too close to Xue'er these days?" Do you want to ruin her reputation? ”
Shen Churan's words were already very serious, but Shen Chuhan didn't even look at him: "Is the fifth brother really just worried that I will ruin her reputation, or is it ...... Worried about something else? ”
Shen Chulan frowned, and she didn't hide it: "You won't have ill intentions towards Sister Xue'er, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the air condensed inexplicably.
Shen Chuhan said slowly: "The two elder brothers are inevitably too careful, if there is nothing to do, please go back." ”
After speaking, Shen Chuhan coughed a few times.
Shen Chulan and Shen Churan saw that he was not in good health, and they couldn't embarrass him for a while.
Shen Chuhan retracted his gaze and said, "I'm a little tired. ”
Shen Churan nodded, "The sixth brother is injured, so it is not appropriate to sit for a long time." ”
Shen Chulan's eyes kept staring at Shen Chuhan, but she didn't see anything abnormal about him.
"Sixth brother rest early, let's visit another day." Shen Chulan followed and said.
"Okay." Shen Chuhan got up slowly, and after Shen Churan and Shen Chulan helped him back to the room, they turned around and left.
After Shen Chulan and Shen Churan walked out of the courtyard, their heads wrinkled more and more tightly.
"Do you think the sixth brother will have any ulterior secrets with Xue'er?" Shen Chulan thought of the eye contact between the two before Xu Ruoxue left, and said with some anxiety in her heart.
Shen Churan shook his head: "Don't think too much, maybe we are too careful." ”
Shen Chulan pursed her lips and followed Shen Churan and left quickly.
Xu Ruoxue returned to the room, but she kept thinking about Shen Chuhan in her mind.
I've been thinking about what has happened in the past few days.
Taking a deep breath, Xue shook her head.
"Lifelike snow, what are you thinking! How can you have such an impure mind for a teenager! ”
Although her current body is only a teenager, the combined age of her two lives is not small.
How could she have a distracting thought about him?
Xu Ruoxue worked hard to brainwash herself, drank a sip of tea, and suppressed her thoughts.
When Ling Shuang came in, she saw Xu Ruoxue drinking tea absentmindedly, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Miss, who do you think is so serious?" ”
"Sixth brother, he ......." Xu Ruoxue subconsciously blurted out, and only after saying it did she realize that she had said the wrong thing: "Don't think about it, I ......"
"The slave didn't think much of it." Ling Shuang lowered her head and snickered.
"You're snickering?" Xu Ruoxue was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Ling Shuang waved her hand again and again: "Miss, the slave didn't say anything!" ”
Xu Ruoxue felt that the more she depicted it, the darker it became: "Go and go, don't bother me if it's okay!" ”
Ling Shuang, this girl is used to being lawless by her!
Palace.
Hall of Governors.
The seventh princess, Luo Xuezhi, had not seen Shen Chuhan and Xu Ruoxue for several days.
I thought it was the dead soldier who had succeeded, but when she got the news, she was unscathed, and none of the dead soldiers she sent out came back.
"Damn! A bunch of rubbish! Luo Xue angrily threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.
The palace people who came to report the matter trembled and did not dare to speak.
"What you say is true? Shen Chuhan was seriously injured? You didn't lie to Hongu? Luo Xuezhi always felt that something was wrong
The palace people were so frightened that they immediately begged for mercy: "The seventh princess spares her life!" Slave, slave really didn't lie! ”
"Useless stuff!" Luo Xue was angry, and directly angrily gave the palace person in front of him a kick.
Seeing this, Xi'er hurriedly reassured Luo Xuezhi: "The seventh princess is angry, your body is important!" ”
Luo Xuezhi calmed down a little, and said viciously: "Lifelike snow is fate,"
Xi'er helped her sit down: "Seventh princess, the sixth son of the Shen family was injured, presumably he saved Xu Ruoxue, and the slave maid felt that the relationship between these two brothers and sisters was extraordinary." ”
Luo Xuezhi immediately frowned: "What is an unusual method?" ”
Xi'er has been serving by the side of the Seventh Princess all the year round, and has been immersed in the palace for many years, so her ability to observe words and emotions is naturally not weak.
Thinking of Shen Liugongzi's eyes looking at Xu Ruoxue, he had a plan in his heart: "The eyes of the sixth son of the Shen family looking at Xu Ruoxue seem to be looking at his sweetheart, and the slave maid heard that Shen Liugongzi has always been extremely indifferent to people, but he loves this sister very much. ”
Speaking of lifelike snow, Luo Xuezhi's face was extremely gloomy.
"The slave maid also heard that the Shen family and Xu Ruoxue have signed a marriage contract, but I don't know which son of the Shen family it is." Xi'er told her master all the news she had heard these days
Xi'er's words made Luo Xuezhi immediately vigilant: "A wild girl who grew up in the countryside, she is also worthy!" ”
"But now the people of the General's Mansion are very fond of her, and a few days ago in the academy, there were still people in the academy who saw several other sons of the Shen family talking and laughing with Xu Ruoxue, so they were not affectionate!"
Luo Xuezhi's eyes instantly darkened, and she said coldly: "She is a good means, and she actually enveloped the Shen family!" ”
Xi'er immediately echoed: "This lifelike snow must be a fox!" ”
Luo Xuezhi's face was gloomy, and there was hatred in her eyes: "It seems that this princess has underestimated this village girl!" ”
Xi'er approached Luo Xuezhi in a low voice: "Seventh princess, the slave maid has a plan. ”
"Tell me about it!" Luo Xuezhi said with a frown.
"In a few days, the Siamese envoy will come to meet my Son of Heaven, the Siamese envoy has always liked to give His Majesty a problem, it is better to take the opportunity to push the Xue Ruoxue out......"
"Very good!" Luo Xuezhi thought that Xu Ruoxue couldn't get off the stage, and her heart was extremely happy when she was embarrassed in public.
"That's it, and when the time comes, find more people to promote our talented girl." Luo Xuezhi showed a cruel smile.
Xi'er nodded: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's better to leave this matter to the slave maid to do." ”
Luo Xuezhi's face had softened a little: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, and your reward will be indispensable after the matter is completed." ”
"Thank you, princess!" Xi'er immediately shook her head and looked happy.
Luo Xuezhi asked people to clean up the broken porcelain pieces all over the ground, and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
Everything is safe and sound in the General's Mansion now.
Although Xu Ruoxue was a little embarrassed when she faced Shen Chuhan, it took a long time to check Shen Chuhan's body, but it was a little less embarrassing.
On this day, just as Xu Ruoxue was talking in Shen Chuhan's room.
Ling Shuang ran in in a panic, not knowing how to speak for a while.
Xu Ruoxue was a little puzzled: "What are you doing in a panic?" ”
Ling Shuang looked anxious: "Miss, there are suddenly rumors outside that you have the talent to be the champion......"
The more she spoke, the quieter it became.
Xu Ruoxue was a little puzzled, and when she heard such an outrageous rumor, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "This rumor is not a bad thing, I want to be the champion, but unfortunately I can't!" ”
When she thought of those obscure ancient texts, she had a headache.
Shen Chuhan felt that something was wrong, and said, "Where did this rumor come from?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, now everyone in Kyoto knows that the young lady is a talented woman in the world." Ling Shuang cautiously repeated, "There are also people who say that Miss is a modern wise man, and she will definitely be able to defeat any Siamese messenger......"
"That's an exaggeration!" When Xu Ruoxue heard her say this, she couldn't help but shake her head, "There are any other Siamese envoys, I haven't heard of them!" ”
Shen Chuhan's expression suddenly turned grim, and he explained: "The Siamese envoy is a small border country of the Jinfeng Kingdom, and it can be regarded as a vassal country, but it is located in a remote area, and it will send envoys every three years. ”
"What about the envoy who won the victory over Siam?" When Xu Ruoxue heard it, she suddenly felt a little bad.
Shen Chuhan continued to explain: "Although the Siamese Kingdom is subservient to our court on the surface, it is just afraid that I will ride the iron horse, but it is still unconvinced in my heart, so every time I come, I will give Jin Fengguo three problems. ”
"Three problems?" Xu Ruoxue frowned, "What kind of problems are they?" ”
"I don't know, it's the great wise man of their country who came up with it." Shen Chuhan shook his head and said.
"What do you say about these three problems?" Xu Ruoxue felt that things were not so simple, and continued to ask.
Shen Chuhan nodded: "That's right, these three questions represent three years of tribute, as long as you answer one question wrong, it means that Siam has one less year of tribute, and if you are wrong in all three questions, then Siam will be exempted from tribute in the next three years." ”
"I see!" Lifelike Snow immediately became serious.
Thinking of the rumors in Ling Shuang's mouth, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Now that the people of Kyoto are rumoring that I can defeat the Kingdom of Siam, will there be any conspiracy?" ”
Shen Chuhan seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and there was no trace of surprise on his face: "I'm afraid it was the Seventh Princess." ”
"Damn!" Xu Ruoxue said through gritted teeth.
Obviously, at this time, she also understands that the rumors in Kyoto are all aimed at her, and she wants to make a fool of herself, and she can also manipulate public opinion in Kyoto to get out of the seventh princess Luo Xuezhi, who else can there be!
"Sixth brother, what should I do now?" Xu Ruoxue held her temples and said with a sad face, "Now that they have lifted me to such a high position, how can I explain that they can believe me." ”
Shen Chuhan pondered for a moment: "Don't worry about it first, you may not be able to answer the question of the envoy of Siam." ”
Xu Ruoxue cried with a sad face: "Sixth brother, you can really lift me up, you can't write articles, how can you have those problems." ”
"Every time there is a problem in Siam, it is strange and has nothing to do with writing articles." Shen Chuhan told her about the problems of Siam several times before.
"What are these things? Brain teasers? After listening to it, Xu Ruoxue found that these things were not something that normal people could come up with at all.
Not only has nothing to do with ancient texts, but it is completely contrary to common sense, and it sounds like a modern brain teaser.
