After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 54

Shang Qingyao is not a fool, on the contrary, he knows better than outsiders - Xie Tangru doesn't believe him.

Xie Tangru's suspicion and suspicion are sometimes even stronger than the blood of the Emperor's House.

Song Xuan didn't quite understand him, or he already understood where Shang Qingyao's ideas came from, but he felt unbelievably absurd.

"There are so many talented people in the world, why does your majesty insist on sticking to Mr. Xie alone? Whenever your majesty recruits, none of the young talents in the Kyushu would dare not refuse."

Song Xuanhang first said.

In the world, is there no one who can compare with Xie Tangru?Song Xuan didn't believe it.

Shang Qingyao stood with his hands behind his back. He was tall and straight, full of oppression.Most of the time, he doesn't deliberately show the majesty of the emperor, which seems to be the performance of the new emperor who is approachable, but Song Xuan feels that it is precisely because of this that the appearance of the emperor is more terrifying when it is revealed.

"There are indeed many young heroes in the world, but I can't wait for all the heroes in the world to enter my court."

Song Xuan cupped his hands and bowed three times. He thought that His Majesty cared more about Wei Guogong's son than an ordinary king would value his courtiers. However, since ancient times, there have been monarchs who have paid homage to the virtuous and corporal several times, lowered their posture and sincerely invited the reclusive master to come out of the mountain.

He vaguely felt that there was something unusual in it, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Therefore, Song Xuan had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being, and said: "The son of Wei Guogong is naturally loose and loose, so naturally he doesn't want to be confined to the temple. Since your majesty values ​​him, why don't you start with Wei Guogong?"

Shang Qingyao played with a piece of exquisite jade pendant, lowered his eyes halfway after hearing Song Xuan's words, but did not speak.

.........

Mr. Xie returned to Duke Wei's mansion full of thoughts, Zhang Xianshi had been standing at the gate with his whisk for half an hour, looking around and finally saw Xie Tangru getting off the carriage, wishing to stick his eyes to him immediately.

"Is there something wrong with the immortal master?" Xie Tangru raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Xianshi has practiced for many years, no matter whether he is good at learning arts or not, but the ability to play tricks is only superficially learned by Taoist Zhang.He read a few scriptures from Taoism and put on an air of a master before he slowly said in Xie Tangru's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "The poor Taoist calculated that the son will be doomed in the near future, so he reminds the son to be more careful. When encountering difficult decisions, you must think twice before acting.”

Xie Tangru's eyes darkened, she twirled her sleeves with her fingertips, and after a while she smiled nonchalantly: "The immortal master has a clever plan, I did encounter something that left me at a loss as to what to do, I wonder if the immortal master can give me some advice?"

Master Zhang Xian stroked his beard, thinking that you wouldn't listen anyway if he reminded him, so why make it difficult for him to make up a few impromptu words.

Zhang Xianshi said inscrutablely: "My son only needs to act according to his heart."

Follow your heart?

Everyone will say this, but it is not generally difficult to do it, and it is also difficult to measure.

The Taoist is here to fool him.

But Xie Tangru didn't expect Taoist priest's advice at all, even if he gave him advice, he might not listen to it, politely pretending to be suddenly enlightened: "Thank you, immortal master, for the foolish people understand."

He left after saying that.

Master Zhang Xian: ...No, what do you know?I still don't understand!

He stared dumbfounded at Xie Tangru drifting away, and looked at the unlucky apprentice Zhang Daoshi, who whispered: "... Is your son so enlightened? But we haven't told him yet..." He was stared at by Zhang Xianshi Eyes, immediately shut up resentfully.

-

In fact, the two masters and apprentices worked together for several days, planning to make up a catastrophe for Xie Tangru, and then Master Zhang came forward to resolve it, and logically proposed conditions for Xie Tangru to let them leave Wei Guogong's mansion.

As a result, the plan only had time to complete the first step.

Master Zhang Xian muttered: "Could it be that young people are so hard to be fooled now?"

After walking away, Xie Tangru's expression faded, and she told Jianshuang: "Keep an eye on their movements, I have something to ask them."

Jianshuang's eyebrows and eyes curved: "Yes. Besides, Xue Ciyi said that she wanted to see you."

This is strange.

Xue Ciyi has been in Wei Guogong's mansion for so long, every day she either plays on the swing or is critical of the poor food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by the mansion, she is more honest than at her own home, and never thought of meeting the master of Wei Guogong's mansion.

Xie Tangru pondered for a moment, then became interested: "Then we will see each other."

The terrifying bloodstains on Xue Ciyi's face had receded, and she was still a beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth.She looked at Xie Tangru innocently with her chin on her face, looked up and down curiously, and giggled for a long time: "You are the son of Wei Guogong, and you look good in skirts."

"How is Miss Xue at the residence these days?" Xie Tangruo didn't answer Xue Ciyi's words, and moved away from the subject lightly.

Mentioning this, Xue Ciyi's small face immediately puffed up, and she complained endlessly: "It's not good at all. Your Wei Guogong's mansion is too poor! Look at the clothes on me, even my maidservant in my house is too poor." Don't wear it."

Her innocence and arrogance are exactly the same as when she was in Yuzhou, but for a girl who has experienced family ruin, no one to rely on, and was once reduced to a place of fireworks, it is a bit out of place.

Xie Tangru smiled and listened to her, and said calmly: "If Miss Xue doesn't like Wei Guogong's mansion, you can go back to Yuzhou."

"........."

Xue Ciyi was silent for less than a moment, and then said firmly: "You won't drive me away."

"Oh?"

Xue Ciyi: "I am the daughter of a criminal minister. If anyone sees me leaving your house, they will know that you are protecting the prisoner. At that time, your father and mine will end together."

She tilted her head, and her innocent tone revealed that she didn't care about her biological father's fate.

And equally anachronistically clever.

Xie Tangru began to find this daughter who was raised as an eyeball by the governor of Yuzhou very interesting.

"My father won't end up with your father. Your father is mentally ill and plotting against you, but my father doesn't."

"The emperor said that you have it." Xue Ciyi curled her lips, "But my father is a little sick, but fortunately I will follow my mother. I don't want to talk about these boring things. I heard that Shen Yu came, you find him Come on, I'm not having any fun here."

She bosses her around as a matter of course.

Xie Tangru ignored her: "Miss Xue takes good care of her illness. When Miss Xue recovers from her illness, there will be many fun things to do."

I was afraid that Xue Ciyi's life would not be enough to play with.

Jianshuang and Xie Yuan stood at the door talking.

Xie Yuan hugged his sword, and leaned lazily against the door: "I heard that the little girl inside looks very similar to you, is it your sister who lives outside?"

"Nonsense." Jianshuang said coldly, "I can't compare to the daughter of the governor of Yuzhou, and I haven't seen any similarities."

She is different from Xie Yuan who was picked up halfway. She was raised by Mrs. Wei Guogong's wife since she was a child, and she was carefully cultivated. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is half a lady in this mansion.Later, the wife of the Duke of Wei died of a sudden illness, and Jianshuang followed Xie Tangru.

Even if she took ten thousand steps back, if she really had some so-called blood relationship with Xue Ciyi, then it wouldn't matter.They are just strangers who have never met, how can they be called sisters?

"It really doesn't look like it." Xie Yuan touched his chin, "She looks better than you."

Jianshuang glanced at him coldly, Xie Yuan put away his hippie smile, and said seriously: "Her eyes are indeed a bit like yours, but they are just eyes. Her eyes are also similar to Shizi's, the eyes of the world It's like this back and forth, there are two, who can make a third one out of thin air? It's a coincidence in eight or nine out of ten."

This is actually a bit like comfort.

"Of course it's a coincidence."

While the two were talking, Xie Tangru walked out of the house, held his chin and thought for a while: "This Miss Xue is living a better life, how can my father's meager salary support such a delicate girl. Nowadays, there is no comparison in the mansion. In the past, when it was a difficult time, it was enough to give Miss Xue two steamed buns for each meal."

Jianshuang's mouth twitched: "Yes."

Xue Ciyi didn't know what she said, and offended this master who had never been tolerant and magnanimous.

Xie Tangru stood on the steps for a while, then said: "Jian Shuang will go back to the study for me to grind, I have to write a letter to Shang Qingyao."

Jianshuang blinked in confusion.

"Miss Xue is still right. What if the emperor finds out that I have secretly hidden a criminal minister and cuts off my father? I have to become an important minister that His Majesty relies on to save my father's life."

Jianshuang: "..." You are really a filial son.

She has no opinion on it.

Although the prince disliked Shen Yu for not telling half a word of the truth, Jianshuang felt that compared with Shen Yu, the prince Xie was as good at making up nonsense.

If Wei Guogong knew about the son's filial piety, he would probably be so moved that he picked up a fire stick and chased the son for three streets.

Xie Yuan: "Then the son intends to become an official in the court?"

"Yes." Xie Tangru said with a smile, his eyes were flickering, unable to distinguish his true emotions, "Love of the emperor, if I decline again and again, wouldn't it be that I don't know what's good? What kind of position do you think I want from Shang Qingyao? suitable?"

Jianshuang and Xie Yuan didn't dare to answer these words, they looked at each other, lowered their heads and laughed sloppyly: "It all depends on Shizi's will."

In fact, it also depends on what Shang Qingyao thinks.

Throughout the ages, no one has heard of forcing someone to become an official.But it's not surprising that anything happened to the son of his own family.

"Northern Gate Bachelor is a good official position." Xie Tangru narrowed his eyes.This official position is in charge of drafting and promulgating the imperial edict. The more formal name is "Hanlin University Scholars". It can be regarded as one of the official positions of the emperor's confidantes. Although the rank is not high, the number of military and political secrets that can be accessed every day Probably second only to the emperor himself.

More importantly, this official position stood beside the emperor when he went to court, and was above all officials.

——There is no need for Xie Tangru to look up to others.

Low-key enough, seemingly inconspicuous but actually holds a lot of power, and will not be exhausted.

Xie Tangru was very satisfied.

Shang Qingyao was also very satisfied with Xie Tangru's willingness to continue his official career, so he let him take up the post without saying a word.

There are only two people who are not satisfied.

One was Song Xuan. He always felt that if Xie Tangru was given such an important position, if it fell into the hands of this incomprehensible prince, Shang Qingyao's reputation would be ruined.

The other is Shen Yu.

Xie Tangru took office as a new official, and he didn't forget to recommend him when he was proud.

It's just that if it wasn't for almost recommending him to be a little yellow door, Shen Yu would have admired the generosity of Xie Shizi very much.

It's a pity that Shen Yu didn't have this opportunity.

He had no choice but to sternly spurn the opportunity of Xie Shizi who must be vengeful and harmful.

Shen Yu, who was arranged to copy books every day under the supervision of a group of old men in the Xiushi Museum, thought expressionlessly.
