[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

Everyone couldn't help but change their minds about how tricky Xu Chengsong was.

After all, it is not difficult to be cruel to others, but it is difficult to be cruel to yourself.

With such an opponent, the Rongguo Mansion might have trouble sleeping and eating day and night.

Emperor Jianming narrowed his eyes slightly.

No one can know what he is thinking at this time.

Xu Chengsong held his breath.

Even if he has Cai Liang as a shield, there is a great risk in pleading guilty rashly.

He was betting that even if Emperor Jianming got angry, he would not easily break the balance between the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.

If he falls, the Seventh Prince's power will definitely be greatly weakened. At that time, the Prince's family will dominate, and the still reigning Emperor Jianming will definitely be in trouble.

Although everyone knew that the prince had a generous and gentle personality, it was not uncommon for father and son to kill each other in front of the Ninth Five.

There was a long, terrible silence.

Everyone in the hall was waiting for Emperor Jianming's words.

Zhang Heng is not the case.

If it is said that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who knows Emperor Jianming best.

Except for Zhang Heng, there is no one else.

Seeing that Emperor Jianming was silent, he already understood his decision in his heart.

Sure enough, after a long silence, Emperor Jianming spoke up: "It was Xu Qing's family. Although you started this matter, you can't blame it all. It's only your nephew who is narrow-minded enough to deceive you."

The seventh prince, Tu Lu, showed joy, and felt more and more grateful to Xu Chengsong in his heart.

Everyone was a little unclear about the source and context of it, and they were secretly dumbfounded—this His Majesty is too partial to Xu Chengsong.

It used to look like a thunderbolt, but now it seems that it is going to be lifted high and put down gently.

It is really unpredictable.

"Your Majesty's words are very true." Jia Daishan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out. He sighed, "Master Xu is able to recognize his mistakes. It is really a blessing. A sage also has something to say. Knowing a mistake can correct it. There is nothing good about it..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Jia Daishan had been keeping silent these days and rarely spoke.

So much so that when he made a sound at this time, everyone was shocked.

But those old people didn't think so.

It is not uncommon for Jia Daishan to debate Confucianism in the court before, and it is not uncommon for the Seventh Prince to be bloody.

Some have forgotten, but some have not.

Everyone was waiting for Jia Daishan's counterattack.

And Jia Daishan lived up to everyone's expectations, he continued: "I just don't know when Master Xu will come to our house to apologize, so we should make preparations first to welcome Master Xu?"

what?

Tu Lu suddenly turned his head to look at Jia Daishan, and asked Xu Chengsong to apologize to Jia She, what is this!

A dignified minister apologizes to a Xie Yuan, not to mention that there has never been such a thing in the past dynasties, even in the world, he has never heard of such a ridiculous thing.

Everyone was shocked, some were smiling, some remained unchanged, and some were mocking and sneering.

Emperor Jianming was stunned, at first he thought it was absurd, but after thinking about it, the fact that Xu Chengsong and Lao Qi were arrogant, if they don't suppress it, what kind of troubles will be caused in the future, asking Xu Chengsong to apologize to Jia She is just right Suppress their spirit.

"Yes." Emperor Jianming nodded.

Jia Daishan smiled.

Zhang Heng pursed his lips and smiled, Duke Rong was still as fierce as ever!This move alone humiliated Xu Chengsong's face, and took advantage of the situation to suppress the arrogance of the Seventh Prince's faction.

Xu Chengsong hardly bit his lips to bleed, he replied sullenly: "I know."

Tu Lu secretly hated him, and became even more indignant at Xu Chengsong's grievance, and made up his mind to pay back this loss in the future!

The early morning was gone.

When everyone left, they couldn't help but glance at Xu Chengsong.

The sun is not big in winter, and the cold wind is blowing.

Xu Chengsong stood silently, his palms were spread out, and the palms were full of bloody fingernail marks.

Tu Lu walked towards him, and when he walked past him, he said in a low voice: "Master Xu has worked hard."

Xu Chengsong nodded imperceptibly.

"Apologize to Rongguo Mansion?!" Cai Liang got up from his chair in surprise after learning about this. He was startled and angry, and the anger in his heart was burning, making his temples throbbing.

"What kind of man is he, Marquis Jia En, to ask uncle to apologize to him! Absurd! Absurd!"

"Master Cai, you can't say that." The housekeeper reminded calmly.

"Why can't you say it?!" Cai Liang looked at the butler angrily.

"Because His Majesty agreed to this matter." The butler said lightly.

Cai Liang suddenly choked up his words, it really cannot be said.

"Then... do you really want to apologize to him?" Cai Liang felt resentful, his teeth itching with hatred.

The housekeeper glanced at him, "Not only the master is going, but also Young Master Cai."

Cai Liang was stunned, he looked at Butler Xu in disbelief, and opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"How to say?" Xu Chengsong asked lightly, twisting a sunspot with his fingers.

When he was furious, he would play a game of chess with himself to calm himself down.

Today, he has already played the second game of chess.

"Master Cai didn't say no." The housekeeper replied respectfully.

Xu Chengsong hummed.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, "However, Young Master Cai - went out again."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Xu Chengsong also knew where Cai Liang had gone - Huayue Tower, the largest brothel in the capital.

"Let him go." Xu Chengsong just used him as a shield and didn't mind giving him some sweets.

Cai Liang went out angrily, thinking he was going to Huayue Tower to get drunk.

Who knew that the green jade he often ordered was picked up first.

"Mother Wang, didn't you say that Luyu won't accept outsiders?" Cai Liang said angrily.

The old bustard turned his eyes, ouched, patted his head, and forced a smile on his face covered with makeup, "Mr. Cai, you said that my brain can't remember things when I get old, is it really right?" Hold on, how about asking Cuiyan to accompany you?"

She had a smile on her face, but she was full of contempt in her heart.

Mr. Cai originally thought he was a son of a rich family, but he didn't even think he was a fart.

Every time I come here, I'll be tight-lipped, and it hurts like digging out my heart when I give out some money.

Ask Green Jade to entertain him, in the next life!

"No! I want green jade!" Cai Liang was already full of anger, and he was not willing to let go.

"That's impossible, Mr. Cai." The old bustard stretched out his hand, and a girl with hairpins came over pretty.

Cai Liang pushed the old bustard away, he was angry, he would not listen to what the old bustard said at this moment, he searched room by room when he got angry, and made a fuss.

The old bustard was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he hurriedly asked Gui/Gong to bring someone up.

"What's the noise?" When Cai Liang searched to the eighth room, he finally found the person.

There is not only green jade in the room, but also a young master dressed in brocade clothes.

"Hey, isn't this Cai Ziheng?" The young master recognized Cai Liang immediately.

Cai Liang's face was livid, "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." Brother Young Master hugged Luyu's waist and said with a smile: "It's really surprising that Mr. Cai has the leisure to come out to play. Now who doesn't know you said that your uncle Xu Shangshu framed Jia Enhou's innocence , who wouldn't say that you are wolf-hearted and vicious, if I were you, I wouldn't go out, lest I be ashamed and be looked down upon by others!"
