Chapter 42: The Fox

Yu Zhi was very relieved, and he suddenly felt that those troubled things were no longer distressed. The second time you promised Yu Zhi so loudly.

Yu Zhi walked out of the quiet east courtyard, and after Qiu Jinfeng finished speaking confidently, he made his first request - to erase the reputation of asking the shame of asking the question.

This bad reputation is placed here by Yu Zhi, and he just feels that it doesn't matter much if he hangs it for the rest of his life. But what girl would want to marry such a notorious guy. What elder would marry his daughter to someone who is laughed at by everyone?

Yu Zhi was afraid that Li Wantong would care, and he was also afraid that Li Wantong's family would care. Most people in the world are worldly, and what secular people look at is money, status, and fame. Yu Zhi is also a layman, so he knows that these three things are very important.

The answer of the autumn wind is that the world is leisurely and difficult to block.

Therefore, Yu Zhi wanted to make himself famous, and a good reputation always worked better than a bad reputation. There are many ways to become famous, and for Yu Zhi, the most familiar one is the Qingyun test.

The college exam is not difficult, and Yu Zhi also feels that he can be in the top three in the Qingyun exam. Of course, he didn't have the confidence to beat Ye Qinghuan. Like Ye Qinghuan, who opened the first list for the first time, there was only one ancient person in front of Ye Qinghuan.

The top three of Qingyun's second list are also worthy of the ladies of those big clans in the Great Chu Dynasty.

However, Qingyun will try to be in the autumn of the next year, and there is still more than half a year before today. Yu Zhi couldn't wait, he felt that it was best to cover up with another reputation before Li Wantong knew about it. Although there are some suspicions of being a thief, after all, the flaws are not hidden.

The best opportunity at the moment is the mission from the north. This is also the reason why Yu Zhi came down the mountain. It's just that since going down the mountain, Yu Zhi never seems to have taken this matter to heart. That time I went to Zizhu Villa to threaten a few words, but it was still for Qiu Ruoruo, but it had nothing to do with the reception of the mission.

"You follow Ruo Ruo to receive the mission. Once things are dealt with, I have a workaround. "These are the words of the autumn wind.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Yu Zhi also knew that this job was not easy to do. At first, the purpose was to nourish the body of the Lingzhi and other treasures offered by the mission, but now it is just a different purpose.

Yu Zhi nodded in agreement, but found that he had no impression of anyone else in the mission in his mind except for that Meng Si and the county lord. Feeling ashamed, he hurriedly walked towards the west guest room.

In Yu Zhi's room, Qiu Ruoruo and Ye Qinghuan had been waiting for a long time. Since Yu Zhi left Kyoto yesterday, Qiu Ruoruo instructed her subordinates to notify her immediately as soon as they saw Yu Zhi's figure. So the moment Yu Zhi stepped into Qiu Mansion, Qiu Ruoruo knew that Yu Zhi was back. It's just that this guy actually went to the East Courtyard first, and Qiu Ruoruo didn't want to disturb him, so he waited quietly.

"Tell me, where the hell have you been?" Qiu Ruoruo asked with a forced posture.

It was already night, and there was only one lamp in the dimly lit room, and the candles were swaying in the cold wind that slipped through the crack in the door. Qiu Ruoruo's voice seemed to come from the darkness, and a few shadows allowed Yu Zhi to see Qiu Ruoruo's location clearly, and the atmosphere and scene were very weird.

Yu Zhi concealed it like last time, and carefully told the truth about the bamboo house and the young lady.

After Yu Zhi explained, Qiu Ruoruo asked people to enter the house and light the candles in the room.

"Since it is Brother Xiaoyu's lifelong event, why does Xiaomei have to do this errand for her brother." Qiu Ruoruo said. The affairs of the mission are not difficult, she has already received a will from the palace. If there is an order from above, it will be done by the bottom, and it can only be done.

Your Majesty has a will, and this matter is much easier to do. As long as you do what you want, you can't go wrong.

"Really?" Yu Zhi said suspiciously. It's not that he doesn't believe in Qiu Ruoruo, it's just that there has been no movement on the side of the mission, and there is no progress in the peace talks, so it may not be an easy errand to think about.

Qiu Ruoruo smiled confidently and said, "Of course." You just need to follow me and make sure you succeed. ”

Yu Zhi respectfully saluted Qiu Ruoruo and said, "Then please Qiuqiu." ”

Qiu Ruoruo also returned the courtesy. She wanted to know what kind of girl made Yu Zhi start to care about her reputation, so she wanted to erase this unbearable reputation. You must know that in the past few years, Yu Zhi has never put the six words "the shame of asking the academy" in his eyes. Even if Qiu Ruoruo is in a hurry, he doesn't see Yu Zhiyi. It was as if he was asking for a shame and shouting Qiu Ruoruo.

Now, Yu Zhi would not take her and Ye Qinghuan to the mountains outside Kyoto.

……

On the second day, at the urging of Yu Zhi, Qiu Ruoruo took Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan to Honglu Temple. According to Yu Zhi, since the next step is to receive the mission together, then those adults of Honglu Temple want to meet each other.

Hongroji Temple is located at the foot of the Imperial Castle in Kyoto's East Castle, so it is much easier to choose the location because you often have to enter the palace.

Yu Zhi and the three of them sat in one of the living rooms of Honglu Temple. In the middle of the hall, there are two rows of chairs and coffee tables, one chair and a small coffee table separated from each other. It is said to be a living room, but in fact, it is no different from the lobby of the usual home.

Cui Wenqi, the young master of Honglu Temple, heard Qiu Ruoruo come to the door, so he hurriedly waited in the living room. Although he was not happy that Qiu Ruoruo was such a little girl leading a group of officials from the Honglu Temple to receive the mission, this was a royal order that should not be violated.

For now, there should still be etiquette between the two sides.

Qiu Ruoruo sat in the first place, Yu Zhi sat down next to Qiu Ruoruo, and Ye Qinghuan sat last. Qiu Ruoruo was the emperor's candidate for the reception mission, after all, she had no official position in the court, so she also lowered her posture towards the people of Honglu Temple.

Qiu Ruoruo explained his intentions, and Cui Wenqi and several officials from Honglu Temple began to look at Yu Zhi. Surrounded by so many middle-aged men, Yu Zhi always felt that something was wrong, like a dignitary with certain habits who wanted to do bad things. Now that he is begging for someone, Yu Zhi has no choice but to endure it.

In the midst of all kinds of eyes, Yu Zhi felt more and more that this trip was not easy.

Cui Wenqi gave the officials on the side a look. Seeing that the man stood up and said, "This person is Yu Zhi of the Dao Academy?" ”

"Exactly." Yu Zhi replied without humility or arrogance. I am afraid that these identities were already known to Honglu Temple when Yu Zhi and the others entered Kyoto.

Hearing Yu Zhi's direct admission, the official said again: "Miss Qiu, Your Majesty asked us to receive the mission, first, for peace talks, and secondly, it must not damage the face of Dachu and the prestige of the imperial dynasty." This official has heard that this person has a bad reputation, and if he receives the mission together, I am afraid that the foreigners will laugh at me, and there is no one to use. ”

Qiu Ruoruo smiled lightly and put the cup in her hand on the coffee table. She had long known that Honglu Temple would have such a statement. Yu Zhi is neither His Majesty's appoint, nor does he have a deep background, who would be willing to let this person participate. When it's done, it's an extra share of the credit. If the success is lost, who should be held accountable?

And Yu Zhi's well-known reputation will become the most critical point.

The atmosphere was not tense. Cui Wenqi drank tea unhurriedly, waiting for Qiu Ruoruo or Yu Zhi to speak. He is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, an official of the fourth grade. Since the reception of the mission, his position has always been below Qiu Ruoruo, how can he be willing?

It's just a hairy little girl.

"That's what my grandfather meant." Qiu Ruoruo said.

Cui Wenqi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yu Zhi. He is a member of the Three Princes' faction, and after knowing that he received the mission with Qiu Ruoruo, he also received an order from the Three Princes - to get close to the Qiu family. Cui Wenqi understands that the so-called close to the Qiu family is the most important thing to be close to the old lady in the Qiu Mansion - Qiu Jinfeng.

After Qiu Jinfeng grew old, he became the prince and the prince. Since childhood, he has taught the prince to study, thinking that he should be much closer to the prince's side. But Qiu Jinfeng never seemed to be standing behind the prince, and rumors were still circulating in the East Palace. The autumn wind pointed at the prince and scolded that rotten wood should not be carved.

When the court dared to scold the prince like this, there was only one person who dared to scold the prince.

Although it is an unconfirmed rumor, there is no wind and no waves, and Qiu Jinfeng and the prince have never clarified the matter, and gradually many people have taken it as true. The third prince also saw an opportunity.

Cui Wenqi is depressed, now Qiu Ruoruo is above him, and now there is another hairy boy. He was reluctant. Honglu Temple respects him, all listen to his orders, he is used to being instructed by others, rather than following behind by others.

"Yu Zhi has seen the county lord of Nomin before. The county lord has a very good impression of him, and if he can take Yu Zhi to meet him, he may be able to promote peace talks. At that time, it will also be a great achievement for Lord Cui. Qiu Ruoruo said again.

Cui Wenqi laughed, he also wanted to use this time to get familiar with the Qiu family. That is what Mrs. Qiu meant. The official is naturally easy to say, but he just thinks that he should also give a lecture to the top. ”

"Master Cui is too worried. Your Majesty once asked me to ask the students of the academy to help, and when I went to Tiandao Mountain, I borrowed these two people like Master Li. I believe that after the success, His Majesty will only praise Honglu Temple for its ability. ”

Cui Wenqi laughed again, and praised Qiu Ruoruo for being careful and thoughtful. In fact, he thought in his heart that this was just a good official lady who was born with a high bed and a soft pillow by relying on her family background.

Qiu Ruoruo responded to these practice makes perfect, and also responded to Cui Wenqi one by one.

On the way back, Yu Zhi squinted his eyes and looked at Qiu Ruoruo. Qiu Ruoruo, who has a degree of advance and retreat in the Honglu Temple, doesn't want to follow the little sister next door behind him at all.

"What's wrong, is my makeup on?" Qiu Ruoruo covered her little face and took out a small mirror from her arms.

Yu Zhi smiled: "No, no, no." I just thought that the little fox in the Honglu Temple just now suddenly changed its appearance. ”

Qiu Ruoruo puffed out her little face and said angrily: "Who do you say is the little fox, who is the little fox?" As she spoke, she clenched her little fist and beckoned to Yu Zhi.

"In Honglu Temple, Qiuqiu and that Shaoqing are like two foxes, a young and an old, calculating each other. Qinghuan, don't you think it looks like it? Yu Zhi continued to tease Qiu Ruoruo's small fist while blocking it.

Ye Qinghuan listened, thought silently for a while, and then said seriously: "Yes." Fox. ”
