Chapter 367: Hypocrites sympathize with each other
Chapter 367 Hypocrites are sympathetic to each other
And the skin is thick enough.
As an ordinary person, where is there any face to face his former master?
But the other party really went back to live in his yard!
After several people were ordered to send the people back to the inner prison, the two doors were closed. Looking at the young man leaning on the bed, Ji Xiu, who was disgusted and broken, was finally able to sneer.
"It's really good calculation, I still underestimate you! How? I stepping on this stepping stone, my official, is it easy to step on?!"
"Father..." Ji Wanyou pulled at his sleeve.
"My lord is misunderstanding." Compared with the irritation Ji Xiu wrote on his face, Zhan Yunzhu sitting on the bed looked very calm: "There is absolutely no heart to betray an adult."
"To this day, I am still acting ashamed of this official!"
"Father, you might as well listen to Master Zhan’s explanation before drawing conclusions..." Ji Wanyou took her father to sit down in the chair, and she persuaded her.
Speaking, Mu Han looked at Zhan Yunzhu remindingly: "Master Zhan..."
is giving him a chance to explain.
At this moment, her eyes are full of expectations.
She hoped that Master Zhan was not the kind of person her father said, and hoped that Master Zhan could continue to support each other with their Ji family.
"When I blocked the arrow for your Majesty last night, it was a subconscious action. At that time, the situation was urgent, and I had time to ask your lord in the future—"
Zhan Yunzhu calmly said: "And as far as the current situation is concerned, it will benefit the adults without any harm."
"Really? Why can't the officer see where the benefits are?" Ji Xiu's eyes were full of sarcasm.
This irony did not affect the young man at all. At this time, the other party only asked: "Do you still remember the adults, I once said that I want to help adults succeed?"
Ji Xiu just snorted and did not answer.
Zhan Yunzhu said slowly: "I have a common enemy with adults. No, for me, that is the enemy——"
"The enemy?" Ji Xiu said with a sneer, "In the eyes of the official, Xia Tingzhen is not so much your enemy, but it is a hindrance to your climb."
A person who can ignore his mother and sister in the family, will he really take the so-called family feud in his heart?
Oh, forget, it’s not just a family feud...
After all, Xia Han’s case also indirectly cut off his road to imperial examination. In this case, it is indeed enmity.
"No matter what the adults think of me, the situation is set now." Zhan Yunzhu's tone is still calm: "I will be with your Majesty in the future, and it will be a lot of help for the adults."
"It has helped me a lot? You are afraid that you can't stand a firm foothold in Chaozhong just by relying on yourself!" Ji Xiu looked straight at Zhan Yunzhu: "This official understands it thoroughly, you are thinking Please both ends."
Where is a human being, it is clearly a blood-sucking leeches, which can't be shaken off by sticking to the body!
He should have thought of it a long time ago, because he had become the emperor and turned his face with his former master. It was not something this "smart man" could do.
"The adults will think too utilitarian." Zhan Yunzhu sighed almost imperceptibly, and said: "My lord has the kindness to take in my knowledge, so I just want to repay the lord. Besides, Chaotang On top of that, the truth that mutual support can go further, adults must know better than me."
Ji Xiu tightened his green lips and said nothing.
"Yes, father, Lord Zhan is also thinking about the overall situation..." Ji Wanyou persuaded from the side: "Why don't you try to look at this from another angle? This is a good thing for both sides."
He said, looking at Zhan Yunzhu, his eyes earnestly said: "Besides, Brother Zhan also said that the relationship between our Ji family and Brother Zhan is not only about interests... How can we break our harmony due to a momentary misunderstanding, and let outsiders Reap the profit?"
Zhan Yunzhu: "Zai Xia's proposal is sincere, and I hope that the adults can seriously consider it."
When Ji Wanyou wanted to persuade him again, she could only hear her father snorted repeatedly and said, "If you agree or not, it depends on how the official feels afterwards!"
After he spoke, he got up from the chair "suddenly", and walked away with a deep expression on his face.
"Father……"
Ji Xiu opened the door, slammed it to both sides, and raised his foot to cross the threshold.
After walking a few steps, seeing his daughter did not follow up, he turned his head back, frowned and said solemnly: "Wan'er——"
Ji Wan leisurely said to Zhan Yunzhu: "Master Zhan... Take good care of you, and I will see you later."
Zhan Yunzhu nodded slightly, looked in the direction of the door, and said to her: "This matter is indeed my fault first, but Laoji girl, please make me and the adults apologize, let the adults try to calm down."
Hearing what he said, her expression and tone were earnest. Ji Wanyou raised her mouth slightly and nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, father, I will persuade him to agree."
"So thank you Miss Ji."
Ji Wanyou looked at him, and whispered softly: "Between you and me, why don't you have to say thank you..."
Hearing this, Zhan Yunzhu's eyes showed a slight smile, he only looked at the girl's eyes with a gentle expression, and said nothing more.
Ji Wanyou's heart jumped a few times, and her cheeks flushed quickly: "I'm going back first!"
After the girl said this, she turned around and left quickly.
Go to the door of the room, not forgetting to tell the servants to take care of Zhanyunzhu.
"Father."
Ji Wanyou took a few steps to catch up with Ji Xiu, and whispered softly: "You can calm down first, after careful consideration, it is not too late to draw a conclusion."
"What needs to be carefully considered? Is there still a choice for the father?"
"What does father mean?"
"Otherwise, why do you think he has to move back in a hurry?" Ji Xiu said, "This is for the emperor and for everyone to see-tell everyone that he is my Ji Xiu's person! "
If the son of a sinner who has been saved by his salvation enters the book province, will there be fewer people who are jealous and stumbling?
It depends on the owner to hit the dog!
"He has taken advantage of my Ji's family, and he still needs to borrow my name to stand firm. If I don't get something from him, wouldn't I really be taken advantage of!"
"Father, you must have thought of Master Zhan too well..." Ji Wanyou smiled helplessly: "Just now, Master Zhan asked me to persuade you to calm down."
But anyway, listening to the meaning of his father's words, he agreed to cooperate with Master Zhan.
As for easing the relationship, I think there will be opportunities in the future.
At this time, I saw my father stopped, looked at her, and said with a serious face: "Wan'er, today, the father must tell you a little bit clearly—"
Ji Wanyou felt a little uneasy for a moment when she met those eyes that showed the rare stern color.
"Even if I will have contact with this surname Zhan in the future, it is limited to the business between me and him. There is absolutely no other possibility. You and him should never see each other again!"
"……Father!"
Ji Wanyou's eyes were shocked and puzzled: "How can you deny Master Zhan that this is the case? You were clearly..."
"That's because he hadn't seen all his true colors at the time!" Ji Xiu severely interrupted her daughter's words: "His ambition is bigger than I thought before!"
"But doesn't my father need such a person to support our Ji family..."
"Wan'er, don't be stupid! By now, do you really think he is worthy of one of us? Everything is just his stepping stone!"
Ji Xiu's eyes are deep: "As long as he can climb up, he will catch him. When he really climbs higher, he will definitely find a more solid backing! At that time, Ji family, you, only I'm afraid there will be no good end!"
He is glad to see this person earlier now.
If not, she will be sent into the fire pit because of a momentary softheartedness.
Ji Wanyou shook her head and wanted to say more, but when she saw her father raised her hand, she stopped her from speaking, and said in a nonchalant tone: "You don't have to say any more, father can do anything about you, only this It’s impossible for my father to watch you choose the wrong way!"
After saying this, he turned around and strode away.
Looking at the back of her father's departure, Ji Wanyou clutched her sleeves tightly, her eyes gradually reddening.
The prejudiced father now seems to be tougher than ever. What should she do?
She grew up to seventeen years old, and finally waited until the man she truly admired and liked, and was enough for her and the Ji family to rely on, should she give up like this?
……
As it was getting late, Xu Mingyi got a portrait.
"Girl, this was only sent by Xiaoqi. Besides, Wu Shisun has two more words for Xiaoqi to tell the girl..."
Xu Mingyi stood in front of the window and listened to Azhu finishing those two sentences. A pair of twilight eyes were reflected in them, and they gradually sank.
Immediately, those eyes drooped, looking at the slowly unfolding portrait in his hand.
The portraits from Xiaoqi's men have always been vivid enough.
Only one glance can tell her who it is.
At this moment, Xu Mingyi was not surprised, nor did he imagine the violent ups and downs of mood.
She just sneered slightly, rolled up the portrait calmly, and when she turned around, she kept saying to Akui: "Let me go to Grandfather's."
Akui answered "Yes" and hurriedly followed.
When Xu Mingyi came to Zhen Guogong’s residence, he saw Mingshi sitting in the hall to play chess with his grandfather.
"Zhao Zhao, come over and show my grandfather, how should this chess go?" The king of the city, who had lost his chess skill to his grandson, raised his rescuer in an open manner.
"You have found the wrong person, and your granddaughter's chess skill is not much better than yours. You should give up as soon as possible." Xu Mingyi walked over and glanced at the chessboard and said.
"It's only halfway down, how can anyone persuade people to surrender?" Xu Mingshi was dissatisfied.
"You are so embarrassed to say, what kind of chess are you looking for with your grandfather, it's not clear that this is bullying?"
Her brother has been a chess basket since he was a child. It was his father and second uncle who took turns to accompany him to play big games. When it comes to Fengya's grandfather who only knows how to play walnuts, where is his opponent?
Xu Ming couldn't tell whether he was scolded or praised for a while, so his tone was fair to hear: "Am I not accompany my grandfather to relieve my boredom."
"This boring situation will be solved in another day. I have something to talk to my grandfather alone."
Xu Mingshi let out an "Oh", threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess bowl, and stood up.
When Xu Mingyi talked to his grandfather, he was always used to avoiding him, and his actions at this time were also out of habit.
Keren just got up and was about to retire with her grandfather, but suddenly he hesitated.
"But there are other things?" The Lord Zhenguo raised his tea bowl and asked his grandson.
"Grandson..." Xu Mingshi glanced at the portrait of Xu Mingyi rolled up in his hands, and asked: "Sister, you want to talk to grandfather, but is it a private matter?"
Xu Mingyi was very pleased by the "sister" shouting, and smiled and said: "It's not a private matter, it's a business matter."
The boy looked straight: "Then can I stay and listen?"
The reason why he came to see his grandfather today is to use chess to relieve boredom, because he wants to understand some business affairs at home.
"If you want to listen, of course you can." Xu Mingyi still smiled.
Xu Mingshi's eyes were slightly bright, and he hurriedly found a position obediently, and sat down straight.
Xu Mingyi handed the portrait in his hand to his grandfather, and said: “Does grandfather remember the rescuer that granddaughter asked you about this morning——”
Zhen Guogong nodded his head and unfolded the portrait, but he was surprised: "Zhan Yunzhu?!"
Xu Mingyi nodded: "It's him."
Xu Mingshi who was sitting there was surprised and said: "Brother Jinping is still alive?!"
Didn’t you commit suicide last year?
Xu Mingyi looked at his younger brother and said, “He is still alive, but don’t call him the brother of Jinping anymore. He is the enemy of our Xu family.”
Since the younger brother wants to grow up, some things that are in front of him must be clarified.
Xu Mingshi was shocked: "When did you forge your hatred?"
Although he and the brother next door are not very good, but the other side is still watching him grow up, and he is the disciple of his second uncle, and the other side's temperament is gentle and often guides his homework, so the impression given to him has always been restored. good.
"This matter hasn't been exposed. It's normal if you don't know it." Xu Mingyi roughly explained the process: "This person, like his father, had been working for Xia Tingzhen before. In the past few years, he had secretly inquired about the secrets of our Xu family. On the surface, we are close to us, but secretly, he is conspiring with others to deal with our town government—all in all, this is a hypocrite who is inconsistent and unpredictable."
Xu Mingshi can hear it in the mist.
Zhan's family does Xia Tingzhen's affairs?
Can Xia Tingzhen inquire about his secret affairs in his home?
When he wanted to ask another question, he only heard Xu Mingyi, who was sitting next to him, say: “If you don’t figure it out, please write it down for now, and then talk to you when you are free.”
Xu Mingshi nodded: "...oh, good."
There is no way. As a poor student who has not even completed the basics, it is normal for him to encounter these at first and not understand, and the teacher cannot be blamed for this situation.
"He turned out to be the one who rescued the driver." The Lord Zhen Guo frowned and said: "According to this, it was indeed a dead end at the beginning, and it turned out to be invested in Ji Xiu's Mansion!"
"That's right." Xu Mingyi said: "And according to the inquiries from Wu Zhao's men, the emperor intends to reward him for his salvation and let him enter the Chinese Book Ministry and serve as a member of the Chinese Bookstore."
Xu Mingshi's face was expressionless because of his fascinating hearing, but the little books in his heart had been memorized quickly, page by page.
"Zhongshusheren?" Zhen Guogong pondered for a moment, and said: "It seems that the emperor intends to reuse this person."
If it’s just for the so-called reward, you can give some rewards or give an official position at will, but the scholars in the bookstore are different——
Although is only a seven-rank official position, it is about writing and making edicts. If the emperor is highly regarded, participating in political affairs is not considered presumptuous.
But this person has never had the opportunity to meet the emperor before. This time he just saved a car. How could he get into the emperor’s eyes?
