Chapter 278: A good work must first sharpen its tools
This Princess Xuanning really did not disappoint Chen Mo, after eating these things, she ate for a while, these people were about to leave, and when they got to the bottom, sure enough, Her Royal Highness the wealthy princess took out the money for this meal, which was also more than ten taels of silver, but Her Royal Highness the princess was stunned and never blinked her eyes, which provoked those miscellaneous little girls to look at Chen Mo's eyes and reveal a little strangeness, but this person was too cowardly, with two such beautiful women to accompany him to eat, in the end, the meal money had to be paid by the daughter's family!
After Chen Mo saw the little guy's eyes, his face was also a little hot, he was very embarrassed, of course, the not very plump waist bag dispelled the impulse in his heart to step forward and plan to pay, people are poor and short-lived, this word is too true!
After waiting for this Princess Xuanning to settle the account, these three people came out of the Shu general, and when they arrived on the street, Her Royal Highness the princess looked at the sky, and there was a little disappointment on her face, and in a blink of an eye, she looked back at Chen Mo's body, and said softly: "It's not too early, this princess is going back to the palace, Chen Daochang, don't forget the things I told you just now!"
Chen Mo looked at the delicate face of Her Royal Highness the princess, and did not speak, just nodded lightly!
Seeing this, the princess didn't show any annoyance on her face, she still smiled like a flower, blinked at Mo Qian beside Chen Mo, and said, "Sister Mo, I'm leaving!"
"This princess is still quite good!" Mo Qian looked at the figure of the princess leaving, thinking about the things when the two of them got along, a little smile appeared on his face, and he said softly to Chen Mo!
"That's right, that's when I didn't see her spilled!" Chen Mo spoke, as if he thought of the situation when Her Royal Highness the princess, who was also a good person in Mo Tianxin's mouth, raised her hand indiscriminately and was about to slap herself!" "Okay, since something happened to this subject candidate, let's get here first today, and those who owe, after dealing with these things, let's make up for it!"
"It's okay!" Mo Qianxin nodded lightly, and as he spoke, he followed Chen Mo's steps towards the Taishi Mansion!
"I didn't give birth to such a big thing, you said that Dong'an wouldn't complain about me!" Chen Mo said softly as he walked, with a lot of thought on his face!
"Definitely not, where has Xu Sheng ever complained about others?" Mo said in his heart!
"That's the best!" Chen Mo said this, but he was still helpless in his heart, after all, this Taihua Mountain was still notoriously lazy when he was in Taihua Mountain on the first day, and he finally gave some days of leisure these days, and from today on, he will be busy again!
Chen Mo and the two walked, and they never noticed that at the other end of the street, the princess Xuanning, who left first, stopped and looked at the two people who left side by side from a distance, her face was full of expectations, she looked down, looked at the note in her hand, and wondered in her heart, I don't know who handed this Chen Mo's news to me! But there is no need to think about anything, anyway, this time it is to do something for his imperial brother, and that person must also be on his imperial brother's side!
......
Both of them are proud disciples of Taihua Mountain, and their cultivation is unpredictable, and the journey from this Shu general to the Taishi Mansion is nothing, and they have returned to the Taishi Mansion in a few steps!
That Uncle Zheng was like this, squatting in the yard, silent, smoking the dry cigarette in his hand in a muffled voice, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, his eyes were wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
After Chen Mo saw this, he really couldn't hold back, so he sent Mo Qian back to her own room, took a few steps by herself, and came to this Uncle Zheng's side, and she didn't dislike it, the whole person also squatted beside Uncle Zheng, and looked at Uncle Zheng's dry yellow face in a blink of an eye, and a little slander was born in her heart!
I've heard people say before that this Uncle Zheng was also a world-beating task twenty years ago, think about it twenty years ago, wasn't it when the old man of Shangqing Peak came down the mountain, he was able to break out of the world's best reputation at that time, and I think that this Uncle Zheng must have been very powerful back then!
"You kid has been watching us for a while, what do you think? Lao Tzu can tell you first, although we can't get any beautiful daughters-in-law like this, but we definitely won't do such a thing as breaking our sleeves and splitting peaches!" Zheng Bo opened his mouth, showing his yellow teeth, knocked his cigarette pot on the ground, knocked out the cigarette ash inside, and his face was full of disgust. No wonder this kid didn't touch the big girl who put a few water spirits, it turned out that he had such a habit, so he had to watch it more closely in the future, otherwise he might not be able to take advantage of himself by this kid! Thinking like this, Uncle Zheng tightened his clothes that he hadn't changed for half a month!
After Chen Mo heard these words, the whole person was stunned, and he turned to look at the horseman who had been driving for twenty years, and his heart was full of helplessness, how could he be in his mouth, he had become the good of waiting for Longyang!
"What did Uncle Zheng say, don't say that I don't have that kind of habit, even if I have, I can't do it if I don't touch the fine skin and tender meat like Dong'an and Yi Yi
Looking for you?" said on the side, Chen Mo threw Uncle Zheng a big white eye!
"Hey, it's good if you don't have it!" After hearing Chen Mo's words, this Uncle Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, completely relieved, and then spoke again: "Then what are you doing here with me?"
Chen Mo thought about it, as if he had some idea in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at the people who were careless, and saw that none of them had noticed his side, so he said to Uncle Zheng mysteriously: "What happened in the mansion today?"
"Alas, what should I be, it's just that this thing is so mysterious!" while saying, Uncle Zheng's face was still very disgusted, "No, I heard that in this scientific expedition, there are a lot of scholars who cheat, you say, what is this, just these scholars have read a lot of sage books one by one, and it is not ashamed to do such a thing!"
"Although our little master didn't take this matter to heart, but those who are at the moment are very worried in their hearts, after all, no matter how powerful the little master is, I'm afraid that he can't do the answer sheet that several Confucians discussed together, isn't it?
Saying this, Zheng Bo seemed to be worried in his heart, and he took out a pack of dry tobacco from his arms, shook it into the big smoke pot, lit the fire with a flint, and smoked the dry tobacco in a big gulp!
After hearing this, Chen Mo didn't have any expression on his face, just looked at the smoke rings floating leisurely in a daze, he was fascinated, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he looked at Uncle Zheng who came over there, and said softly: "Uncle Zheng, you have been driving in the carriage in the capital for many years, do you know everything about the layout in the capital!"
Uncle Zheng smoked the dry cigarette while not caring about it, but there was a little smugness on his face, and he said softly: "That's nature, I don't dare to say anything else, just talk about going to the capital, there is really no one more familiar than me!"
"Then which group of people from the DPRK and China are arranging the exam this time?" Chen Mo then asked, thinking about it in his heart at the same time!
"This time, I heard that it was an exam arranged by the second prince, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are the group of people from the Ministry of Rites, who have always stood behind the second prince, and they must be indispensable this time. The exam questions were leaked, it can't be said that they did something!" Zheng Bo said this, his voice stopped abruptly, and in the blink of an eye, he carefully looked at Chen Mo's face for a while, and his face was full of some appreciation!
"Good boy, the courage is really not small! The people who come down from Taihua Mountain are different!" this Uncle Zheng said as he spoke, grinning and revealing his big yellow teeth!
Hearing these words, Chen Mo didn't know how to continue, just scratched the back of his head, and still had a shallow smile on his face!
"You kid come with me!" As if thinking of something, this Uncle Zheng had a mysterious face, and after saying a word to Chen Mo, he took the lead in standing up and taking a step!
Chen Mo followed closely behind Uncle Zheng, and after a while, he saw Uncle Zheng in front of him take the lead in stopping in front of a house! That house was placed on the edge of the stable, thinking about the identity of this Uncle Zheng groom, thinking that this was Uncle Zheng's residence!
"Okay, you wait here for a while!" After Uncle Zheng said these words, he pushed open the door of the room and stepped into the room! Immediately after, a series of noises appeared in the room, like the sound of rummaging for something! Chen Mo could hear this, he didn't care, and after a while, the door of your room opened again, only to see that this Uncle Zheng was holding a package in his hand, and casually threw the package into Chen Mo's hand, while speaking!
"The master once said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! I don't understand the truth, so I know that you will definitely be able to use these things! What do you want to do, just do it with confidence, don't say that there is Taihua Mountain behind you, even if the mountain is high and the road is far away, Taihua Mountain can't take care of you, and our lord can't take care of you, and our lord doesn't dare to say anything else, just say that in the capital, there is really no one who our lord wants to protect!"
......
Speaking of these four waiters of the Ministry of Rites, although they are all officials in the Ministry of Rites, as colleagues, they are all on the side of the second prince, but they have their own likes and dislikes, and they are two by two!
Among them, there is a more special one, not because of anything else, just because this is the virtuous son-in-law of the left minister, and he is also the brother-in-law of His Royal Highness the Second Prince! On weekdays, this waiter of the Ministry of Rites Qiao Yuanming has always been good friends with Xiao Fengwu, who is also in the post of waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the two are inseparable on weekdays, as long as they are here in the Ministry of Rites, these two people must be together!
No, tonight is no exception, the rest of the Ministry of Rites has been cleaned up early, and only these two people are left, sitting at the desk and picking up the lamp, and I don't know what they are busy doing there!
"Brother Qiao, you don't have to wait for me tonight, just go back first, save the Xiangye worry!" The person who spoke, a talent, a dignified appearance, especially the pair of Danfeng eyes is even more brilliant, thanks to a man's body, otherwise, I don't know how much this pair of eyes will dump!
"It's okay, I already told my family when I came, and I might go back later today!" Qiao Yuanming over there raised his head slightly, and as he spoke, his shrewd eyes staring at Xiao Fengwu's face tightly!
Yes
In this way, I don't know what's wrong, this Xiao Fengwu's eyes dodged, avoided Qiao Yuanming's gaze, looked down at the book in front of his desk, but his mind was not on that book at all, for a long time, the book didn't turn a page, this Xiao Fengwu just looked down like this, and I don't know what he was thinking in his heart!
The doors and windows in this house were not closed, looking out through the window, there were no stars and moons this night, it was dark and dark, it was really infiltrating, at this time, a cold wind blew, and it did not cover the window, but made Qiao Yuanming's body shiver several times, and even blew up the book in front of Xiao Fengwu, and turned several pages in a row, but this Xiao Fengwu didn't pay attention to it at all!
This autumn wind was really cold, Qiao Yuanming couldn't bear the cold, raised his hand and rubbed his shoulder, got up, and closed the window!
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao?" Seeing this situation, this Qiao Yuanming couldn't help it, and opened his mouth softly, calling Xiao Fengwu's name!
"Huh?" Fang was distracted, and suddenly heard others calling for him, this Xiao Fengwu was shocked, his head was suddenly raised, and his slender phoenix eyes stared at Qiao Yuanming in front of him!
"Huh, Brother Qiao, but what's the matter?"
Looking at Xiao Fengwu's panicked appearance, Qiao Yuanming's heart was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but speak softly: "I'm afraid that Brother Xiao has something, otherwise, he wouldn't be as out of shape as Fang Cai!" While speaking, this Qiao Shilang's eyes were like torches, as if he could see people's hearts, staring directly at the Xiao Shilang in front of him!
Hearing these words, Xiao Fengwu's heart was weak for a while, avoiding Qiao Yuanming's eyes, he still lowered his head, and said softly: "No...... No, I have something to do, it's Brother Qiao who thinks too much!"
Seeing that Xiao Fengwu refused to admit it, this Qiao Yuanming stopped asking, sighed softly, and then spoke again: "Brother Xiao, you and I have been together for so long, if there is any difficulty, just tell me!"
"It's really not, Brother Qiao don't ask again!" As he spoke, Xiao Fengwu's face was a little helpless and bitter, and he was very panicked as he spoke!
At this moment, the wind outside suddenly became loud and whistled, and the two of them heard a loud noise, and then the window was blown open by the wind, and the wind raged in the house like a robber who had broken into the house!
Seeing this, there was some eagerness in the eyes of the two of them, but the difference was that the eyes of that Xiao Shilang were a little flustered in addition to these eagerness!
Qiao Yuanming hurriedly ran to the window and closed the window, which blocked the bandit-like wind and bolted the window, and after Qiao Yuanming hurriedly followed Xiao Shilang to pick up the papers scattered in the room!
These papers on the ground, scattered and scattered, are full of dense fly-headed letters, obviously there are some important things on it, where you can pick it up casually and it's over?
This Qiao Yuanming has a steady temperament, he is meticulous in doing things, and he is not in a hurry, but after slowly looking at the content on the paper, he put it away!
"Brother Qiao, just let me do these things! You can rest first!" That Xiao Shilang also hurriedly packed up the scattered papers, and while he was busy, he said to Qiao Yuanming!
"It's okay, two people are faster than one person after all, let's two of us together, hurry up and pack up, it's better to go home, look at the weather, I can't say that it will rain later, if we go slowly, maybe we will be left here!"
Although it was like this, there was no joy in the eyes of that Xiao Shilang, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know what he was worried about!
I saw that he picked up a piece of paper on the ground, and he didn't look at it, but just glanced at it roughly, and he didn't finish it yet, but the whole person was suddenly stunned, and then, Qiao Yuanming raised his head again, and looked towards Xiao Shilang's side, his eyes were burning, and he stared at the person tightly, his face was full of some incredible!
"Brother Xiao, I never thought that the person who leaked the exam questions turned out to be you?"
After hearing these words, Xiao Fengwu didn't have time to react, but he was stunned in place!
"Brother Xiao, why? You and I are both scholars of the same department, and we have been together for many years, and I also know your temperament, what is the thing that can make you do such a thing?" Qiao Yuanming said as he took a step and came to this Xiao Fengwu!
Seeing Qiao Yuanming's questioning appearance, for some reason, Xiao Fengwu's heart suddenly gave birth to a lot of disgust, and he couldn't help but laugh miserably, and replied: "Why? You ask me why? I, Xiao Fengwu, was born in a first-class jinshi, read the sage book for 20 years, and now I am a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, why should I do such a thing? Qiao Yuanming, it's because of you!"
