As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Obviously she seems to be angry, but she seems to be acting like a spoiled child with a look of happiness and anger. Rao Huamanlou knows that she is acting, but she is still a little bit embarrassed-what do you mean by putting your hand on my thigh, girl?

The young lady on the other side brought a glass of wine to Hua Manlou's mouth, her voice sounded like weeping and complaining: "Master Hou should punish himself with a glass, otherwise our sisters will definitely not obey."

He clearly said not to follow, but he leaned closer, and the milky white snow was looming, and even rubbed against Hua Manlou's arm...

Who can resist this?

Obviously, these two are mainly in the dinner atmosphere group, and they are very good at teasing people.

In the corner of Xiulou, there is a girl playing the piano, and three dancers in cool clothes are working hard in the center of the venue. It is a test of Huamanlou's endurance. At that moment, the obsession of a group of skinny horses will come alive .

There is also Suyunxuan's number one Liuyun girl, who is obviously by Liu Chao's side, but her eyes glance at Huamanlou from time to time to give a sneaky glance, the subtext is roughly like this: come and catch me, if you catch me, I'll let you hehehe!

That's right, Lao Liu didn't let this girl accompany Huamanlou, but found two other inferior girls. The reason was to hang him, and it would be a lottery after the matter was settled...

The incense in the room is obviously added a little bit, although the effect is not great, but in this kind of atmosphere, it has an added effect--if you don't have a little heart and mind, you are still a man?

Oh, it is also possible that it is not lifting, or it is not good.

So Hua Manlou couldn't help sighing: Old Liu understands!In this situation, how many men can chat coldly?I'm afraid I can't wait to finish my business and go to the next room!This is especially true if the person who comes is a novice in the Fengyue field, it is not impossible to make a fool of himself on the spot - vicious!

Hua Manlou lowered his head and took a sip of the wine that the girl handed him, then laughed and said with a pun, "Liu Butang, you're always doing things...you're not kind."

Liu Chao also smiled: "Master Hou said this, how many kind people are there in the court?"

The confrontation officially began.

(This chapter will not be reported to others, right?)

636. Talent

It was not the first time that Lao Liu and Hua Manlou had met. Although they had never met before, Liu Chao always believed that Hua Manlou was the most unprovoked person in the court—everyone who provoked him was worse than the other.

Let’s see, Li Ke gave Zhong Pu Zhenghao a begging title when he came back from Liaodong to lose contact. Since then, he has become unlucky day by day, and finally died of being involved with King Yiduan; Bing Ke gave Meng Xi several times to impeach Hua Manlou’s firearms were amazing skills and ingenuity, but they ended up gloomy and gloomy; the White Lotus Sect once robbed Huamanlou, but was punished to the point where everyone shouted and beat the rats crossing the street, and they had to take the blame for everything; Nie Shangshu lost his son; Shen Deyuan and the others lost their officials, exiled them, lost their heads...

There are too many similar things, and from various signs, it can be seen that Huamanlou did not deliberately target them, nor did they trip or play tricks like when Liu Chao was in power, so Liu Chao came to the conclusion: Huamanlou It is a person with good luck, this kind of person, it is best to keep a respectful distance.

That's right, Liu Chao is not afraid of Huamanlou's family background, he is not afraid of Huamanlou's two powerful father-in-laws, and he is not afraid of his identity as the emperor's adopted son-after all, the closer he is to the royal family, the more he must pay attention to it Influenced by status, the more you will be restrained, so many tricks cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise it will be easy for the emperor to clean up.

But luck is different, if you provoke him, you will definitely be unlucky.

This is very nonsense, but in fact, some people do fear ghosts and gods as they climb higher. They open their mouths about Feng Shui and keep their luck away. The deceitful circle of things...

In short, even though Liu Chao was quite upset with Huamanlou's "taking airs" in his heart, on the surface it can be said that he had no grudges at all, and he didn't even care about the thorns in Huamanlou's words, and directly admitted that he was not kind .

So Hua Manlou smiled slightly: "If Master Butang let Qingliu hear what he said, I will have to refer to you a few books."

"What's the reason? Is this official corrupting the court's reputation?"

"No, because the minister told the truth and ruined Qingliu's reputation."

Liu Chao laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Master Hou is not a kind person, just listening to this makes me so angry that I am so angry, how can I impeach him?"

Hua Manlou pointed out something: "If you die, you will die. I don't know them well, and they always frame me. They can't just let them talk, but I can't speak?"

Liu Chao's face froze when he heard this, but then he laughed again: "What Hou Ye said is, how can there be any reason for blindly being angry? If this officer encounters him, he might scold him."

Hua Manlou toasted: "The Ministry understands me."

Liu Chao also raised his glass: "I am a reasonable person."

The two of them seemed to be joking, but in fact they were both playing games.

What Hua Man Lou meant was: You came to Lanzhou Mansion to cause trouble for me without saying hello, isn't it too careless?If you don't give an explanation, Ben Hou will fight back - mentioning the censor is actually a threat, because Hua Manlou himself knows that the censors who have nothing to provoke him are miserable...

But what Liu Chao meant was: This matter was indeed done unethically, I was wronged, and I accepted the punishment.

So Hua Manlou said: That's fine, this part has reached a consensus.

Liu Chao: Make an offer.

Therefore, the people of the Celestial Dynasty are reserved, and they generally don't show it very clearly when talking about such things, otherwise they will appear very low.And where does this come from? This kind of hairiness generally originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, diplomats used the Book of Songs to chat and make appeals. The force was very high, but it was a bit brain-intensive.

Of course, Hua Manlou is not used to speaking like this, because the Riddler is going to get out of Gotham City, but he can do as the Romans do, so he specially asked Wen Liang to write him an outline...

After putting down the wine glass, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "There is something I want to ask Master Butang."

Liu Chao also smiled: "Master Hou, please tell me, you know everything."

Hua Manlou stretched out his hand and pinched the face of the little sister who was rubbing Xuezi carelessly beside him, and sighed, "Master Butang thinks, what is the shortcoming of this Marquis?"

Liu Chao was taken aback by this question: What is missing?

But soon he reacted and became sour.

Because some people say that the highest achievement that a person pursues in his life is generally like this: fame goes down in history, power dominates the world, and wealth rivals the country.

In terms of fame and history, Pingwo alone is enough to be full of flowers, and in fact he has been recorded in the memoirs of Emperor Guangxing; when it comes to power over the world, is the youngest boss in Dazhao enough?This is still the crown prince not on stage!In terms of wealth, it is generally accepted that people spend money all over the building, not to mention shipping, just by tinkering with things in Xishan, you can harvest a crop of leeks, and a broken furnace can sell for hundreds of taels of silver...

And these are all missing, so what else is missing in Huamanlou?

Liu Chao fell into deep thought.

Not to mention Liu Chao, Xuezi, who was supposed to liven up the atmosphere at this time, didn't know what to say-commonly speaking, she should say something like 'lack of slaves', but she spends all her time marrying several , and all of them are peerless...

Oh, the black one is not counted these days, but at least there is a town for the number one beauty in the capital, right?

Liu Chao thought for a long time to no avail, and then began to suspect that Hua Manlou's words were purely for Versailles, but at this moment, Hua Manlou suddenly said with a sad face: "Master Butang doesn't know? This Marquis lacks fame." !"

Liu Chao: Are you kidding me?

I have to say that Hua Manlou's words are really too much to say: scholars want fame in order to become an official, in order to become a privileged class, but a noble reincarnation like him is good for being born into a privileged class, so he wants fame. For eggs?

What's more, the Marquis with real power, a big boss, a person who would shake the capital even if he coughed, and then claimed that he was going to take the civil servant exam?Isn't this a mess?

Liu Chao suddenly became angry: If you want to start a war, just say it, are you really afraid of you as an official?Even if you can't beat you, I will spit blood on your face!

Liu Shilang took a deep breath, endured and endured before forcing a smile: "Master Hou... really knows how to joke."

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "When did Benhou joke? Master Butang doesn't know something, Benhou...depressed!"

Knowing that Hua Manlou is acting as a demon, Liu Chao has no choice but to act with him at the moment: "Why is Lord Hou depressed?"

"Liu Butang, let me tell you something. Benhou is considered talented, right?" Hua Manlou squinted at Liu Chao and said, "Have Liu Butang heard of the poems written by Benhou?"

"Uh... this..." Old Liu was suddenly embarrassed.

Huamanlou is not talented, and when he became famous, it was accompanied by the "Mocking Confucianism" that has spread all over the world. Later, there was a masterpiece that was written in both forward and reverse, so it is certain that, Later generations can't get around Huamanlou when talking about the Dazhao poetry circle.

So in this way, who would dare to say that Hua Manlou has no talent?

This bastard stepped on the face of a scholar to prove his talent!

637. Really?

I have to say that Huamanlou is so dazzling that many people subconsciously ignore his "poetic talent" when they mention Huamanlou, and Liu Shilang is no exception.

However, whenever someone in the capital wants to hold a poetry meeting, they will immediately think of Huamanlou, for fear that he will spoil the situation, so that later when scholars held poetry meetings in Beijing, they would basically choose a time when Huamanlou was not there, such as a few days ago It was held once when riding Huamanlou to suppress the rebellion.

However, what is shameful is that in the past two years, the Jingshi Poetry Association has not produced any good works at all, and there are not even a few of them that are passable. Some people have said that the great Zhao poetry circle is dead. dull.

So today, no one dares to say that Hua Manlou has no talent.

When Liu Chao was dumbfounded, Liu Yun, a famous prostitute beside him who had been giving Huamanlou affectionate glances, spoke for the first time: "Who in the capital doesn't know that Hou Ye is a poet? How many girls are looking forward to chatting poetry with Lord Hou day and night!"

This statement is actually a bit inaccurate. Chatting is fake, but it is true that you want Huamanlou to customize a poem. In this way, your net worth will soar—in the eyes of some girls, getting Huamanlou a A custom-made poem is even more attractive than marrying into the Hou's mansion, after all...

The former seems at least more likely, right?

But Huamanlou never hangs around in Yanjie and Liuxiang, which disappointed many brothel girls.

But today is a good opportunity, when Liu Yun heard that Huamanlou was coming, he made up his mind to use all the tricks today... Cough, let Huamanlou write poems for himself at all costs, so Huamanlou took the initiative When talking about this, she didn't even care about Liu Shilang's orders - don't forget, today she is a lottery, and her main function is to hang flowers all over the building...

But when she heard her speak, Xuezi who was beside Huamanlou immediately answered, "Sister Liuyun said that even in my dreams, my family can dream of Lord Hou, and even dream that Lord Hou wrote a poem for my family... whee."

Xuezi's expression of tea flavor in this tea was too low-level and too utilitarian, which directly broke Liu Yun's mind and made her grind her teeth in anger.

But then again, Xuezi also wants poetry!She hadn't thought of this at first, but when she suddenly thought of it, she got wet and wished she could drag Hua Manlou to the next room to read poetry all night...

"Cough, Master Hou is naturally talented, so what does Master Hou mean?" Liu Chao finally came to his senses after a long while, brought the topic back to the point, and gave Liu Yun a cryptic look.

"Miss Liuyun mentioned Yuzhuxuan just now, so does Liu Butang know what happened after Yuzhuxuan?" Hua Manlou sighed, and moved towards the young lady on the other side without a trace— Xuezi posted it all over, feeling a little hot: "Benhou is blocked at home by those so-called talented scholars! It's not for anything else, just because Benhou wrote a poem!"

Liu Chao was in a trance for a while: Isn't that because you scolded all the scholars?

Hua Manlou had a heartbroken expression on his face: "Benhou was so angry at that time! But they all have fame and fame, what can I do?"

Liu Chao was speechless: Didn't you send those people to Xishan to do coolies?

Hua Manlou sighed, "Although I was born in Xungui's family, I am also a disciple of a sage who studied poetry and books since childhood. Why can't they tolerate me?"

Liu Chao: So it's because you scolded someone...

Hua Manlou slapped his thigh—Xuezi's thigh: "Later, Ben Hou figured it out, it was because Ben Hou didn't have any fame!"

Liu Chao's face was blank: "Because of this, Lord Hou wants to take the exam for fame?"

It's confirmed, Huamanlou is a psychopath!

"Isn't that enough?" Hua Manlou gritted his teeth and said, "Just because I'm an honorable man, and because I didn't get the honor, they look down on me!"

At this moment, not to mention Liu Chao, even Liu Yun, who was smiling all the time, was in a daze: Today, who dares to look down on you?

But Huamanlou continued to 'vent': "Is it my fault that this Marquis was born in Xungui's family? Although many of Xungui's sons and nephews are unlearned and incompetent, this Marquis is not, this Marquis... He is very talented! So this Marquis is determined to be the first honorable person to obtain fame! This Marquis wants to be admitted to Jinshi, and he wants to be admitted to the imperial examination! Now I don’t lack anything, only fame!"

Liu Chao endured and endured, and finally didn't blurt out the fact that Huamanlou was beaten by his father for several months because of gambling a few years ago, and finally couldn't help scratching his head and said: "If Lord Hou...cough, if you want to get fame, Just take the exam yourself, who can stop Lord Hou? It seems that this dynasty can't help but honor the scientific exam, right?"

He couldn't stand this insane topic anymore.

But after hearing what he said, Hua Manlou sighed again: "Liu Butang, you are also a person who was named on the gold list and passed the exam. Do you think the exam is difficult?"

Liu Chao laughed when he heard this: Are you asking me?It's not difficult, it only takes 24 years of heart-to-heart study!

Speaking of this, which scholar is not a tear of bitterness?Which scholar is not full of complaints!

But before he could sort out his thoughts and vomit his bitterness, Hua Manlou said again: "I think it's difficult! Stereotypes are especially difficult! It's harder than going to the blue sky!"

Liu Chao also sighed when he heard the words: "What Hou Ye said is that if it weren't for stereotypes, I wouldn't have been wasted for several years in the past..."

Having said that, Liu Chao even forgot what he was going to invite Hua Manlou for today, and wanted to talk about taking part in the imperial examination in the past.

But Hua Manlou suddenly changed the subject: "Style writing is difficult and useless, does Liu Shilang think so?"

"Yeah..." As soon as Liu Chao opened his mouth, he suddenly became alert: "What does Lord Hou mean?"

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Since Liu Butang thinks so, then please Master Butang to find a way to eliminate stereotyped writing and increase policy theory, okay?"

At first, I thought that Hua Manlou was trying to trick her, but this turning point made Liu Chao unable to deal with it. In the end, she simply cut to the chase and asked, "What exactly does Lord Hou want to do?"

Hua Manlou waved his hand: "Didn't Ben Hou say that? Ben Hou wants to get a degree in the exam and want to be admitted to the university, but Ben Hou has limited time and no time to tinker with the useless and difficult stereotyped essays, so I would like to ask you Liu Butang thinks of a way, such as mobilizing contacts to facilitate this..."

Liu Chao resolutely shouted: "Impossible!"

God damn it, in order to test for fame, stereotyped writing is cancelled!

Liu Shilang was neither stupid nor crazy, he knew exactly what he could and couldn't do, and he had come to his senses at this moment, the purpose of Huamanlou's nonsense was to get him to agree to reform the imperial examination.

Although he didn't know what Huamanlou wanted to do in essence, whether he was really planning to take the scientific examination in such a painful way, but the impact of this matter was too great. it is good.

Seeing this, Hua Manlou just smiled: "Really?"

"Really...uh..." Liu Chao suddenly hesitated.

If you refuse flatly, is it possible to start a war?

(Ulla!)

638 Didn't I Say I Want Fame!

Liu Shilang has been in ups and downs for half his life, and he has never seen such a psychopath as Huamanlou.

A well-behaved official of the Ministry of Officials, Huamanlou was a little embarrassed before he appeared on the stage. When he first appeared on the stage, he also looked like a big villain. He was cold and stylish, but he was stunned after meeting Huamanlou Shengsheng was forced to become a spitting slave, which senior cerebral thrombosis thought up this script?

Liu Chao rubbed his forehead, and felt that he should bring the whole thing back on track, so he waved his hands and said, "You all go down."

He felt that it was time for a showdown with Huamanlou, and there were some things that these women could not hear.
