I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

There was a "buzz", the trembling sound of the dagger piercing deep into the wood.

Xue Yuan lowered his voice and smiled, "Chang Yuyan, you have to tell me the truth."

The cold sweat broke out on the top of Chang Yuyan's head.

Xue Yuan flicked the dagger, and the extremely good dagger made another clear trembling sound. Xue Yuan's voice has been bad these days, and his speech is like sand, and his tone is obviously good, but it may be threatening , what's more, his tone at the moment is definitely not good.

Xue Yuan smiled, "If the Holy Majesty hadn't mentioned me, you wouldn't have rushed to Xue's mansion to look for me in such a hurry."

Chang Yuyan tried his best to calm down, "Before you were always on duty by the Holy Majesty's side, making people jealous and envious. Now that I have been summoned by the Holy Majesty alone, can I show off in front of you?"

Xue Yuan squinted at him with heavy eyes.

"What can His Majesty tell me about you?" Chang Yuyan smiled wryly, "Or why should I hide it when I mention you."

My heart was pounding.

All nervous and apprehensive.

He didn't know why he had to hide the conversation with the Holy Majesty, but he didn't realize it when he was in it. Now that he thought about it, most of the conversations between the Holy Majesty and him were related to Xue Yuan.

Such cognition instinctively made Chang Yuyan unwilling to tell Xue Yuan the truth.

He opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times elegantly. After the cold sweat on the top of his head disappeared, he smiled slightly and said, "Xue Jiuyao, why did you become so strange today."

Xue Yuan was still looking at him.

The robe on his body was draped over his shoulders, even if his hair was disheveled, it couldn't stop the determination in his eyebrows and eyes.The dagger on the table was still shining coldly, but the trembling gradually stopped.

Xue Yuan withdrew his gaze, pulled out the dagger, continued to cut wood, and muttered: "It's harder than I thought."

Chang Yuyan didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"It's nothing," Xue Yuan said lazily, "By the way, I'll show you something."

Xue Yuan called the servant over, and the servant nodded and ran away after listening to his orders.After a while, the servant held a scimitar and presented it in front of Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan picked up the knife, and Chang Yuyan couldn't help but went up to take a closer look. He saw that the scabbard of the machete was all outlined with gold wire, and it was supplemented by more than ten thousand jewels. The tail is uniform in thickness.With only this scabbard, it can be concluded that this scimitar must be extraordinary.

And the more delicate the gold wire products, the more exclusive they belong to the royal family.Chang Yuyan blurted out: "Is this a reward from the Holy One?"

Holding the handle of the knife, Xue Yuan pulled out half of the scimitar, only to hear a "chuckle", and the sharp blade and scabbard made a lingering sound of fighting.

"This is the famous reward of the spring hunting day," Xue Yuan touched the blade, "is it beautiful?"

Chang Yuyan could hardly move his eyes, "It's so beautiful."

Xue Yuan smiled inexplicably. He drew out his scimitar and swiped across the table. A white mark was drawn on the gray stone table.

Chang Yuyan clicked his tongue: "It's so sharp."

"Beautiful is really beautiful, and sharp is also really sharp," Xue Yuan played a trick with the machete in his hand, and Chang Yuyan was terrified when he saw it. He finally threw the knife into the scabbard, turned around and said with a smile, " Such a good knife must be placed in the hands of someone who can handle it."

Chang Yuyan sighed: "Isn't it?"

Two quarters of an hour later, Chang Yuyan got up, bid farewell to Xue Yuan and left.As soon as Chang Yuyan came out of Xue Yuan's courtyard, before he walked out of the gate of Xue's mansion, he ran into Mrs. Xue who hurried over.

Mrs. Xue's makeup was neat, and seeing that Chang Yuyan hadn't left, she was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

Chang Yuyan bowed to Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Xue told him to get up quickly, and asked, "Brother Yan, you have a close relationship with Jiuyao, do you know any other extraordinary men he knows?"

Xue Yuan insisted on going out every day to have a look, even if he was carried out after suffering such a serious injury.It can be seen that the person he wants to see will not easily come to Xue's house, no matter how you look at it, it will not be Chang Yuyan.

Mrs. Xue was a little anxious, and there was faint worry and worry on her face. Chang Yu said something inexplicable: "Why did Madam say that?"

"I see that you are the only one coming to the house." Mrs. Xue forced a smile, "Thinking that Brother Yuan will inevitably be lonely by himself, I want to ask him if he has any other peers."

Chang Yu said to himself, with Xue Jiuyao's temper, who can get along with him?

Just like bandits and hooligans, Chang Yuyan and his snake and rat nest together.Chang Yuyan thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "If we talk about friendship, I don't know about it. But if we talk about an extraordinary man, there is one. It is Chu Wei, the son of Mr. Chu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry. The number one scholar when I was in the same class as me."

"The number one scholar," Mrs. Xue said thoughtfully, "I see."

When Chu Wei returned to the mansion that day, he heard about Mrs. Xue's visit.

Chu Wei paused, raised his head to look at his mother, and frowned: "Xue Fu?"

"Exactly," Mrs. Chu said, "Mrs. Xue is visiting her daughter's house for her son-in-law, and just happened to hear that you haven't married yet, so she specially came to talk to me about your son and daughter."

Chu Wei said: "The relationship between Chu's house and Xue's house is not close."

Mrs. Chu said angrily: "Isn't it possible to talk about it? I'm afraid Mrs. Xue is really anxious. I can't understand this kind of thinking best. Just like you, you are not much worse than the eldest son of Xue's mansion. Using study tours as an excuse, you have been unwilling to come back for a kiss for seven years, and now you have become the number one scholar and have been hired, and you are highly regarded by the Holy One. They don't even care about your old mother."

Chu Wei was thoughtful.

Xue Yuan is going on a blind date.

Isn't this just an opportunity to give up his heart for someone who has bad intentions against the Holy One?

Chu Wei raised his lips invisibly and lowered his eyes, as if he was listening to his mother's preaching, but in reality he was already thinking about how he could help Mrs. Xue and make Xue Yuan's marriage completely settled.

On the second day, Chu Wei followed Doctor Yushi to discuss matters in front of Gu Yuanbai.

The matter of Yushitai has come to an end.After the doctor Yushi left, Chu Wei stayed in front of Gu Yuanbai as an editor of the Imperial Academy.

After Gu Yuanbai finished handling the political affairs, he took advantage of the time to drink tea and laughed with him, "Chu Qing is very busy."

Chu Wei was a little ashamed, "I am ashamed."

Gu Yuanbai's lips were a little dry, he drank two extra sips of tea, the color of his lips was stained by the warm tea, and his light-colored lips were slightly rosy and healthy.He smiled gently, "Wouldn't Chu Qing tell me about your study tour while it's okay?"

Chu Wei came back to his senses, looked serious, and said seriously: "What does Your Majesty want to know?"

Gu Yuanbai asked, "How many places have you been to?"

Chu Wei said: "I went all the way south from the canal, and I have already been to most of the prefectures and counties that I passed through on the way."

"Go deep into it?"

Chu Wei smiled slightly, Zhilan Yushu, "It took me seven years."

Gu Yuanbai was in awe, "Then tell me what you have seen and heard in various places."

Chu Wei pondered for a while, then started from the beginning.He was lonely and arrogant when he was young, and he had a good reputation, but he learned a lot when he visited the hermits in various states and counties.

These great Confucians have their own merits, and their views on the world and problems are also very different.Chu Wei watched a lot, but forgot that he was still young. Hearing the things about the suffering in the world from the mouth of those great scholars, he only remembered the suffering, but forgot to remember the good side.

So in the next study tour, he only remembered the bad side.

As he spoke, Chu Wei's tone slowed down, and his eyes showed a bit of confusion.Gu Yuanbai flicked away the tea leaves with a teacup, and smiled, "Why didn't Chu Qing continue talking?"

Chu Wei pursed his lips, "I don't know what to say."

There are always a few disadvantages in various places, and it is just superfluous to talk about it.

Gu Yuanbai asked: "Why don't you talk about the customs and eating habits of various places? Also, are there many merchants in various places? Is the official school in the state capital consistent with the content of the official school in the capital? If not, what is the difference? Benefits, what can be changed, don't you know these?"

Chu Wei was stunned.

His expression lasted for a long time in a daze, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, a little distracted, "I have never paid attention to this."

Gu Yuanbai put down his teacup, and suddenly sighed.

This sigh lifted Chu Wei's mind, is the Holy Majesty disappointed in him?

Chu Wei pursed his lips so white that he lowered his eyes and said, "My lord, my minister..."

"Chu Qing should know what the purpose of the study tour is for," Gu Yuanbai said slowly, "We must not only see the disadvantages of each state capital, but also see the benefits of each state capital. Just like Jinghu Lake, Jingnan Mines If you know about it, then you can use this point in Jingnan to develop it according to your needs."

Chu Wei was thoughtful, he thought for a while, and said: "I understand."

Looking at it this way, he didn't learn anything in the past seven years of study tour.

Chu Wei was a little disappointed, but also a little relaxed.He suddenly smiled, "If it is possible in the future, I would like to follow the Holy Majesty to visit these places again."

Gu Yuanbai laughed a few times: "That's very good."

The corners of Chu Wei's mouth curled up, and he suddenly remembered what his mother had told him before. Chu Wei's heart moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said: "My lord, when talking about the study tour, I remembered some interesting things."

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and became interested, "Tell me."

"There was an old woman in the folk. The youngest child in the family was old but refused to get married. The old woman was so angry that she dragged the youngest family to visit homes with daughters. Whenever she saw anyone, she asked: Can my son marry your daughter?"

Seeing that the Holy Majesty laughed casually, Chu Wei said: "A few days ago, I heard from my mother that the wife of Xue's mansion also became anxious. It seems that she has already inquired about the news and is planning to make a marriage for Master Xue."

Gu Yuanbai suddenly realized that Xue Yuan was already 24 years old. In ancient times, he was already an old leftover man.

And unlike Gu Yuanbai's body, Xue Yuan's body is extremely healthy, he should marry a wife, and Mrs. Xue should be anxious.

"It's pretty good," Gu Yuanbai said, "It's not bad to start a family and start a business."

Chu Wei saw that there was no abnormality on the top of the saint, so he settled down in his heart. He smiled and said casually: "If Mrs. Xue likes some girl, General Xue is still on the way to the northern border. I can't do anything. Maybe I will bother the Holy Majesty and ask the Holy Majesty to give a marriage proposal to Lord Xue."

Gu Yuanbai opened a memorial, smiled, and said casually, "Let's talk about it."

Give Xue Jiuyao a marriage?
