Chapter 358: Zhao Guozheng's Wrath
The Xian Wang drank a cup of tea and said sadly: "Oh, I think that when the king woke up with a splitting headache after getting drunk once that day, he decided not to drink too much again. It is the king who asked the princess to remind the king all the time. Well, the concubine has been doing her duty all these years, but at this time, this king is... oh...some things really can't be controlled."
Xu Qing sat aside and put down the teacup in her hand, and kept nodding to express her understanding.
Sage Everyone in Realm has such a moment, and he didn't know how many last times he said that year.
Can you handle it?
Can't control it!
Although the two of them thought of different things, the results were similar.
All men, understand each other.
The wine of the virtuous king was taken away by the princess again, and the meaning of staying here was lost for the virtuous king.
On the way back to the palace, King Xian turned his head to look at Princess Xian and asked, "What did the princess say to Xu Qing's wife?"
Concubine Xian laughed and said: "It's all private conversation between some women."
King Xian didn't ask any more questions when he heard what Princess Xian said. Some things can only be said between women, and some things can only be said between men.
This is all normal.
For example, the virtuous king couldn't tell the princess that he planned to have Xu Qing build a wine storage room in the North Court of the State Chamber of Commerce.
The virtuous king said: "Jade is for people to raise. This king did not expect that the princess would give the jade bracelet that has been raised for more than ten years to the wife of that kid Xu Qing. He thought that the princess would leave it to Xue'er in the future. "
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Cultivating jade requires care and patience. Xue'er is too lively on weekdays, and her thoughts are not as delicate as Xu Qing's lady. If you don't give it to her today, she will be broken tomorrow. Give it to her." A jade bracelet for Xueer is better than making a good sword for Xueer for her to play with."
Xiao Ruxue stuck out her little pink tongue on the side, but didn't speak, obviously dissatisfied with Princess Xian's words.
She didn't like jade bracelets and other jewelry in the first place. Jewelry was indeed too cumbersome for her. It was inconvenient to wear and play with. In her opinion, those things were really flashy.
Giving her these things is better than giving to sister Su.
What she is dissatisfied with is that own mother concubine is obviously talking nonsense!
What do you mean if you give it to her today, she will be smashed tomorrow!
The last time I gave my own jade hairpin, I accidentally broke it after playing for two days!
Where is the day?
Concubine Mu is obviously wronging people!
...
On the way back to Andingbo Mansion
Xu Qing looked at the excellent green jadeite bracelet on his wife's wrist. He didn't know jade and couldn't tell the difference between ice, waxy and glass.
It's just that this jade bracelet is crystal clear, moist and smooth, and it should be worth a lot.
Moreover, wearing this jade bracelet on Su Qian's hand really added a lot of color to Su Qian.
Su Qian felt that her husband's gaze had been on her, and she was about to speak, but only heard a voice from beside her, her husband's voice.
Xu Qing couldn't help but sighed, "Graceful!"
Su Qian was slightly taken aback: "What is your husband talking about?"
Xu Qing said: "For my husband, the princess, tsk tsk, is too generous. Such a bracelet can be given away as soon as it is given away. It doesn't look like a prince at all. Madam, let me tell you, you don't know how stingy the prince is usually. Ah! Trying to cheat your money!"
"You say a couple, why is there such a big difference between people? I think the prince should learn from the princess, don't you think so?"
...
Residence of the Envoy of Zhao State
Zhao Guozheng came to Kuang Zhou's residence, looked at Kuang Zhou who was sitting at the table, and said, "Kuang Zhou, you are also a well-known younger generation in Dazhao. After defeating Chu State and Zhou State in a row, how can you be defeated by this small setback when you come to your mere Chu State?"
Kuang Zhou sighed and said, "Lord Lu, is that a small setback? Three poems and three words, and in the last scene, if it is not necessary, he can still come up with three poems and three words. I am afraid that this person is saying that he is the master of heaven." It is not an exaggeration for the God of Poetry to go down to earth. The officials are really powerless."
Zhao Guozheng looked at Kuangzhou's decadent appearance, and said with a serious face: "Kuangzhou, you are the only one who lost in the three competitions, and you lost to your opponent in the poems that my big Zhao is best at. Do you know the consequences?"
Kuang Zhou: "You go, you go!"
Envoy Zhao Guozheng: "..."
Why is this kid so stubborn!
Oh, yes, I have a good teacher.
If it wasn't for Kuangzhou's teacher, who was called Zhao Guoshihun, who had a very high status in the court and the public, if he dared to talk to him like that, he would really want to slap him.
What's more, he didn't expect Xu Qing to be able to come out halfway through this competition of poetry.
Three poems and three words are handed down from generation to generation.
Not to mention Kuang Zhou, even his teacher who was more than ten years younger than Xu Qing is probably no match.
What crime did he commit on this mission?
The deputy envoy on this trip is fine because he has a good father and can't afford to mess with him.
Kuang Zhou is just an ordinary envoy, he still can't afford to mess with him!
What's the point of being an envoy? !
Thinking about it made him angry, but he couldn't get angry at Kuang Zhou, so he felt very uncomfortable.
Zhao Guozheng suppressed the fire in his heart, looked at Kuangzhou and said, "Kuangzhou, I know you are suffering. This last scene is not about literary talent, but memory. You are born with great knowledge and memorization, and you can read it well since you were young." Shishu, are you still afraid of Xu Qing in this kind of competition?"
"In this way, as long as you win this battle, you will fight twice in a row, and you will be the number one hero in this battle. After returning to the country, I will definitely advise His Majesty to guarantee you two consecutive promotions, how about it?"
Hearing Zhao Guozheng's assurance, Kuang Zhou finally brightened his eyes and said, "Is this really true?"
Although his teacher has a high status in the government and the public, but out of suspicion, he can't recommend him directly, he can only make side-steps and let others do it.
But now that he has lost the competition, not to mention being promoted to two levels in a row, it is great to keep his original position after returning to China. Now he can be promoted to two levels in a row, which naturally makes him excited.
Envoy Zhao Guozheng nodded and said, "Of course it is true."
Kuang Zhou said: "Okay, I will fight!"
After coming out of Kuangzhou's bedroom, Zhao Guozheng finally let out a sigh of relief, and finally allowed Kuangzhou to fight this last battle.
Kuang Zhou is a well-known child prodigy in Zhao Guo who has a strong memory and can remember even difficult articles after reading it several times. That is why he was accepted as an apprentice by Zhao Guo's poetic soul, but his self-confidence was frustrated by poetry.
As long as he can rekindle his confidence to challenge Xu Qing, if he doesn't believe that Xu Qing can beat Kuang Zhou on this road.
Thinking about it, it's really useless. I have to persuade an ordinary messenger over and over again!
It is really unreasonable!
Zhao Guozheng just returned to the room and sat down, intending to drink a cup of tea to calm down the fire in his heart, but the teapot just ran out of water.
Zhao Guozheng shouted: "Come here, serve tea!"
Soon, an envoy came in with tea respectfully: "My lord, the tea is here."
The envoy of Zhao Guozheng took the tea and suddenly looked at the envoy: "What does your family do?"
The emissary said: "My lord, the villain was born in a poor family. Last year's imperial examination was a gift from the Holy Grace to get this official position."
Zhao Guozheng nodded: "So that's the case, then, which foot did you come in first?"
