Chapter 89 Slander
Chapter 89 Slander
Rao Gao Minxing, who prided himself on being calm and steady, was beaming with joy when he received the order to act as interim governor.
After suffering for so many years, when he thought that he would stop at the position of chief minister in his life, a happy event unexpectedly fell from heaven!This is only temporary, and there is no guarantee that he will not become the official governor of the three prefectures tomorrow.
"My lord, now I have walked 99 steps out of a hundred steps, and I am just about to shiver for the last time."
Gao Minxing looked left and right around the imperial decree, tirelessly.Hearing what the person next to him said, he nodded and ordered without raising his head: "Xiu Lin is right, if you don't crucify him, it's hard to guarantee that he won't turn over. I'll leave it to you to handle the outside affairs. Some people, spread it to a wider range, I want the sage to have to be cautious even if he wants to use him."
The young man named Xiulin raised his head, showing a calm face, but the depths of his eyes were full of gloom.If Xiang Yuan and Zhao Shen were here, they would definitely recognize that this man named Xiulin was Zhang Yan, Zhang Xiulin, who planned to poison him during the provincial examination.
Xiang Yuan accepted the order, and was not in a hurry to go to Beijing to defend himself. Instead, he ordered his servants to pack their bags, and at the same time led Zhao Shen to wander around the Hejian mansion leisurely.
Prince Li Qiqian knew about this in the afternoon when the order to reprimand Xiang Yuan arrived. He didn't rush to ask, but asked Mo Shu to pay attention to the situation in the mansion. , Li Qiqian was silent for a moment, and decided not to intervene for the time being.
Xiang Yuan asked people to watch him not take him to the south of the Yangtze River, Li Qiqian seemed to have given up on this thought, and took Xiang Anjue out to eat and drink all day long, eating almost all the famous snacks in Hejian Mansion.
On this day, two groups of people met in a liquor restaurant on the Yanliang River. They sat by the window on the second floor, overlooking the sparkling Yanliang River and the beautiful scenery of fishing boats and sampans.In front of a half-grown child (and a noble person) and a small doll, Zhao Shen was embarrassed to hook Xiang Yuan's shoulders, shook off Xiang Yuan, stood on the balcony by the window, and listened to the gentle breeze. Xiang Yuan hugged Zhuang Zhuang and told him eighteen ways to eat shrimp.
"How do you know so many ways to eat?"
Li Qiqian was very surprised. Xiang Yuan always gave him the impression that he was wise, funny, and not at all pedantic, but no matter how enlightened he was, he didn't seem to be willing to deal with the stove.This time, Zhuang Zhuang actually talked about how to eat shrimp. Just now, the waiter in the restaurant came up to pour tea, and after listening to it, he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet, as if he was afraid that they would order some to try.
Xiang Yuan glanced at Li Qiqian, squeezed a peanut into his mouth, and fed another to Xiang Anjue who had been pretending to be obediently waiting, seeing him chewing vigorously, couldn't help but smile.
Li Qiqian sat opposite, humming.
Then Xiang Yuan said slowly: "I not only know how to eat shrimp, like this, this." Xiang Yuan pointed to the shiny red braised pork on the table, and the rich-flavored clear-boiled chicken, and said, "I can still eat these meats." Name dozens of ways to eat it."
Li Qiqian squinted his eyes, expressing his disbelief.
"The ancients said: 'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen', Mr. Xiang doesn't seem to be able to cook."
Zhao Shen heard it from outside, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, showing a smile, and thought: Although Congzi doesn't cook every day, as long as he cooks, the things he cooks are very suitable for his taste, not only taste good, but also every day Every time he cooks something different, he can cook the same ingredients in different ways.Sometimes even he was a little suspicious, how did the son of a poor family know how to eat so many ingredients?Perhaps cooking also requires talent.
Li Qiqian still couldn't believe it. He was in the palace, and the royal chefs were all over the country, each with their own special skills and exclusive skills. Even he, who drank gold and swallowed jade since he was a child, didn't know that there were so many ways to eat on weekdays. Of course I don't believe that Xiang Yuan, who came from a poor family, can know so many ways.
Zhao Shen heard that Xiang Yuan began to tease Li Qiqian in a serious manner, scaring the dignified prince for a moment.Suppressing a silent laugh, his gaze swept across the balcony next door, where some students gathered, lively and lively.Zhao Shen listened for a while with a smile on his face, the corners of his raised mouth slowly fell back and tightened, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
The students were still talking, and one of them, a handsome man wearing a square scarf, stood up and said a lot about Xiang Yuan in a mysterious and mocking manner to the students who were waiting for him to speak with interest. rumor.
It is said that Xiang Futai, who was newly appointed in Hejian Mansion, was born in a poor family, and before he won the first prize, he was a half-baked person who was hated by everyone in their Lizhong Xinxin Club.Afterwards, he vividly told about the strange things that Xiang Yuan (the unlucky young master Xiang didn't wear before) did one by one, in exchange for the students at the same table who couldn't believe it, and also had the excitement of spying on the secret of the second-rank senior.Hearing the funny part, seven or eight people roared with laughter and shook their heads one after another. Some lamented that it was insulting, some lamented that people should not look good, and some wondered how a person with such character could get the first prize in the exam and then rise all the way.After sighing, they couldn't help expressing their lack of talent, lamenting that they didn't have the good luck of Xiang Yuan, who was obviously not good at character, but was able to win the toad palace, mocking him as a beetle who ate swan meat.
Zhao Shen was so angry that his hands shook.
These students who are familiar with the books of sages and sages, who know the shame and etiquette, are so open-minded and dark behind their backs, slandering Miaozi with unreasonable things!
At some point, Xiang Yuan had already walked behind Zhao Shen, holding his daughter-in-law's tightly clenched fist with one hand, gently stroking his back from top to bottom with the other, and said softly, "Daughter-in-law, don't be angry. It's just jealousy, jealousy A sour scholar who doesn't care about grapes, and they care about nothing, just ruined my good mood."
"They are too much! How can they spread rumors like this? Gongzi is obviously not such a person. If they say that, how can you have a good reputation outside?!"
Xiang Yuan touched his nose, inexplicably feeling a little guilty.He wanted to tell his wife that five or six out of ten of the things the students said were true! -_-||
Although he was not the one who did these things, but in the name of Xiang Yuan, he had to admit it if he didn't.However, Xiang Yuan sneered slightly, he didn't intend to be a fool to admit it frankly.
Li Qiqian walked over with Xiang Anjue in his arms, and naturally heard the students next door mocking Xiang Yuan, and immediately raised his eyebrows. As a prince, the power he had cultivated since childhood was instantly released.
"Presumptuous! These students are in vain scholars, talking nonsense, believing the rumors in the market without telling them, and even fueling the flames, slandering the court officials, it is simply hateful!"
Zhao Shen: (⊙o⊙)...
As expected of a prince!With such a show of power, his whole body is full of the aura of a powerful man, and he can't see the childish look he had when he was funny.
"Bad guy, speak ill of Daddy! Qianqian, hit him!"
After Li Qiqian called himself Mr. Qian, Xiang Anjue very consciously started calling him Qian Qian.
Mo Shu's brows twitched nervously. Every time he heard Mr. Xiang's young master call Prince Qianqian, the sentence would pop up in his mind: Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.This happens every time.
Mr. Xiang is really lenient, he doesn't care about it.Could it be that he really thought that with the young master's childish words, he could hug the prince's thigh for a long time?
In the palace, he has seen too many guys who lost their lives due to inappropriate words.
Xiang Dazhuang grabbed Li Qiqian's leg and pulled his trouser leg. After Li Qiqian hugged him up, his little butt fell off, and he waved his fist at the balcony on the other side, giving orders as a matter of course like a bully.
Li Qiqian was very angry at first, but when he saw Xiang Anjue's appearance, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Xiang Yuan pinched Xiang Anjue's chubby cheeks, and pressed his forehead against his small forehead, and said, "Don't be angry, Daddy has a way to punish the bad guys."
Xiang Anjue tilted his head and retracted his fingers.Turning around and nestling on Li Qiqian's shoulder, his eyes were half open, drowsy.
Xiang Yuan: (⊙o⊙)
I was moved for less than three seconds!
Li Qiqian carefully supported Xiang Anjuan, not even letting Zhao Shen want to take over.
He had never had a chance to touch the fragrant and soft child before, but now that he had finally had a good time, he was naturally reluctant to let go.
"Congzi, don't listen. These people are just using hearsay to attract people's attention, and they are not worth caring about."
Zhao Shensheng was afraid that Xiang Yuan would feel bad when he heard it, so he hurriedly tried to pull him into the house.
Xiang Yuan amusedly followed Zhao Shen into the house, and sat down by the window. Seeing that Zhao Shen was still nervous, he said slowly, "Actually, these words have been spread for a few days."
what?
Zhao Shen's eyes widened, he really admired Xiang Yuan's big heart, everyone called him a despicable and shameless villain outside, and he was still indifferent after hearing it for a few days.
"In the beginning, there were some rumors. I thought they were just gossip, but I didn't want it to become more serious and more detailed. Most of them were about my work in the club. I knew that there was someone deliberately trying to mess with me behind it."
"who is it?"
Xiang Yuan squeezed Zhao Shen's finger, in exchange for a sharp eye.
"Guess who is so familiar with my story relationship in the club and has some problems with me?"
Zhao Shen frowned and thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Li Guangyu?"
Xiang Yuan shook his head.
Zhao Shen paused, clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "I see, it must be Zhang Yan!"
Xiang Yuan smiled and nodded.Zhao Shen snorted angrily, "It's true that you will never change your nature!"
Seeing Li Qiqian's doubtful face, Zhao Shen told how he had drugged and harmed Lin Hong before.Li Qiqian was concerned about the drowsy Xiang Anjue who was lying on his shoulder, so he didn't dare to slap the table, but said sternly: "This kind of despicable villain should never make it to the top!" After finishing speaking, he tilted his head Glancing at Xiang Yuan, Li Qiqian said again: "However, I think if it's just Zhang Yan, a student who has been deprived of fame, and still can't make such a big noise, it's probably not just a personal grievance."
Xiang Yuan nodded approvingly, Li Qiqian was excited when he saw it.
"That's true. Zhang Yan has done a lot of harm. Not only was his fame taken away, but after that, he was no longer allowed to take the imperial examination to become an official. For him who is determined to get ahead, it is tantamount to the collapse of the world. If he still wants to stay in the officialdom , there is only one way, to be an aide."
Seeing that Zhao Shen and Li Qiqian were listening seriously, Xiang Yuan didn't continue to play tricks, and said directly: "Coincidentally, my followers have found out that Zhang Yan has been in and out of Gao Minxing's mansion many times, and once he goes in, he always has to pass by." It took a few days to come out. Not a staff member, how could Gao Minxing provide for a idler who can't do anything in vain."
"But, Zhang Yan is so young, he is an aide"
Zhao Shen was a little puzzled. In his impression, the general staff members were senior and experienced talents or seniors, but he had never heard of such a young staff member.
"Huh..." Li Qiqian snorted coldly, and said mockingly, "I'm afraid that this Zhang Yan, who got into Gao Minxing's eyes with such a low-level means, is like a raccoon!"
"Master, look quickly, that ship is coming out!"
