Chapter 42 [VIP]
Xie Liu poured Rong Jue a cup of hot tea: "I've been sitting for a long time, drink something hot. You came to me, what do you want to say?"
Rong Jue glanced at the painting box he treasured at hand: "Sir, are you going to visit Mr. Lu?"
But when Rong Jue asked about himself first, Xie Liu was not in a hurry to ask him, and gave an affirmative answer: "Mr. Lu has some friendship with me. Over the years, although there are few letters, it can be called a heart-to-heart relationship." .”
Is it so good?
Rong Jue was a little awkward: "Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"
Xie Liu paused for a while before saying, "I thought I would never come to Dingjing again."
Regarding Xie Liu's matter, Rong Jue had heard other staff members mention it before in the mansion, and his words were full of respect.For Xie Liu, they were convinced.
A look of nostalgia flashed across Xie Liu's face: "It was thanks to Mr. Lu that I was able to return to Mobei back then."
Rong Jue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice to show that he was listening.
Seeing him like this, Xie Liu felt his hands itch for some reason.
——It looks so obedient, and people can't help but want to stroke it.
Rong Jue didn't notice it, and after inquiring about Lu Changming, he brought up Qi Lan.To say it was a previous meeting would be a bit rusty and indifferent.
Xie Liu suddenly thought of what Rong Xu did, and felt a chill: "Don't tell me you want me to go up and give you a hug? The prince didn't even do that."
He added: "No matter what, he is still a prince. We are just vassal princes, and the superficial etiquette still needs to be in place."
"No." Rong Jue replied, "I just feel... a little alienated. Aren't we prince-son-party?"
"What do you think serious sex should look like?"
"It's just like that." Rong Jue couldn't answer. In the past, he and Qi Lan were always close except for conflicts. Sometimes because of Qi Lan's good temper, Rong Jue would push him even further.
"I've never been a prince before," Rong Jue said loudly, "This is the first time I've been good at cutting!"
Xie Liu: "..."
He looked outside to make sure there was no one there: "There is a first time for everything. You are so loud, do you want everyone to know that you are panicking?"
"I'm not panicking!"
"Then what are you saying so loudly?" Xie Liu changed his tone, "Could it be a guilty conscience?"
Rong Jue spoke even louder now: "Why am I guilty? What can I be guilty of?"
Xie Liu: "..."
He sat for a while, waited for Rong Jue to calm down, and then asked: "His Royal Highness, do you think that the way we treated the crown prince before did not show our closeness to him?"
Rong Jue muttered "nonsense" in a low voice.
"Very good." Xie Liu took back the teacup in his hand, "Then tell me how to do it right."
How can this Rong Jue speak?He thought back on his time with Qi Lan before, and stopped talking.
Xie Liu raised an eyebrow, slightly provocative: "Why don't you say it? Don't you want to have a long talk with me?"
"Let's talk about it, sir."
Xie Liu stared at him for a while, narrowed his eyes, and concentrated on drinking tea: "Let's talk about it when I come back."
What else can Rong Jue say?
I had no choice but to nod obediently.
===
When Xie Liu arrived at Lu's mansion, he first handed over the post according to the rules, and then waited at the porter's house, and then walked in slowly after the young man inside came out.
Lu Changming was waiting for him in the lobby, and when he saw Xie Liu coming, he smiled heartily: "Come here as soon as you come, and bring any gifts, Xu Zhi, even if you come empty-handed, I welcome you."
Xie Liu handed the painting box to him: "I'm so embarrassed."
After receiving the gift, Lu Changming didn't open it immediately, instead he pulled Xie Liu to say a few words. After the two talked, Xie Liu asked about Rong Jue's past situation in the Imperial College.
"Sir, I also know that there is nothing we can do to go to Beijing alone with only one seedling in Mobei. I am really concerned that I want him to learn well, I am afraid that he will learn badly, and I am worried that he will find me annoying..." Xie Liu whispered He sighed, then drank tea and covered his wide cuffs to his face, "Mister laughed."
Lu Changming nodded to show his understanding: "I know, although I have no wife and no children, I also have nephews at home, and I will miss them when I am in Beijing."
"Your Majesty is still good," Lu Changming said, "He is very sensible. Although he is a little impulsive at times, he is really smart. Xu Zhi doesn't have to worry about the successor of the king."
Xie Liu responded with a smile, and the two talked a little more, and took out the painting from the painting box to admire.
Before they knew it, the two talked about Rong Jue again.
"It's not that I said that His Royal Highness is really not good at calligraphy and painting." Lu Changming stroked his beard, "He can still read that character, anyway, it's not ugly."
Lu Changming was still satisfied with Rong Jue's grades, and he also had a sense of accomplishment when he talked about it with Xie Liu: "Your Majesty is able to comprehend his studies and draw inferences. Although there are some points that sometimes cannot be explained, you can understand them with a little mention. "
Xie Liu was also very happy. It seemed that Rong Jue had spent the past five years in Dingjing in vain. It was worth it just because Lu Changming taught him to read.
"Our lord said that one must know the characters, but in my opinion, one must also read the book, at least one must understand what others are saying. Dingjing literati gather, and Rongwang's mansion can't give people a rough impression."
Lu Changming nodded and said yes: "Xu Zhi really broke his heart. In my opinion, the prince has a really good vision, and he has chosen the eldest prince—now he is the prince."
The honorable children in Dingjing will go to the Imperial College when they are old enough to qualify. Lu Changming has been there for so many years, and he knows the qualifications and character of each family.
In his opinion, Qi Lan should be calm when he is patient, and he should be clean when he should make a move.
If he is not the prince, there is really no one suitable for him.
Qi Bo seems to be flamboyant, but he still hesitates inside, and is easily dragged down by the people around him.
Qi Shen is timid and cowardly, with deep thoughts, not a big guy.
"The crown prince is really nice, and he gets along well with the crown prince. Xu Zhi's worries are unnecessary." In order to increase his credibility, Lu Changming also picked a few things to talk about, and concluded: "The crown prince can tolerate the impulsiveness of the crown prince." , Such a monarch and his ministers couldn’t be better. They grew up together, they have entered and exited together for so many years, they are as good as one person, the prince of the future..."
He looked at Xie Liu's gloomy face, and patted his shoulder in relief:
"Mobei will not be bad."
Xie Liu: "..." I always feel that something is wrong.
He thought for a while and asked: "The prince really treats our son so well? Is it a little too much?"
According to what Lu Changming said, Qi Lan would be successful, even if he didn't, with Prime Minister Wang behind him, it wouldn't be too bad, he wouldn't follow Rong Jue so eagerly.
——Qi Lan's deeds sometimes can be called flattering.
Xie Liu's mood is very complicated, whether their single-minded son knows or doesn't know what the prince has done.
===
Rong Jue noticed that after Xie Liu came back from Lu Changming, he looked at him with strange eyes from time to time.
When it is really unbearable, Rong Jue will ask: "What's the matter, sir?"
Then Xie Liu would just shake his head and walk away.
It’s weird.
This strange incident was told by Rong Jue to Qi Lan as if it was a joke.
At the end, Rong Jue stroked his chin and said, "Do you think Mr. Xie found out from Mr. Lu that I'm actually an unworldly genius?"
Unworldly talent?
Wang Mingda just took a sip of water and couldn't help but spit it out. He coughed a few times and forced himself to hold it back, and the water flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Hongbao, who was sitting next to him, let out a disgusted "Huh" and said, "Go away."
Qi Lan didn't drink any water, so he restrained himself. He coughed a few times to cover up: "This is really hard to say."
Li Hongbao also nodded in agreement: "I also think that Mr. Lu has learned a lot and learned a lot about the past and the present. Maybe he really discovered how powerful Ah Jue is!"
Qi Lan was interested in Rong Jue, so naturally he could say anything, but what the hell was Li Hongbao's sincere praise?
Wang Mingda felt that his whole body was not good. Could it be that Rong Jue was really an extraordinary talent?
——Crap.
Qi Lan gave Wang Mingda a restrained look, said something else to Rong Jue, and quickly turned Rong Jue's attention away.
Finally, there is no need to hesitate in this strange topic.
Wang Mingda heaved a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he saw Li Hongbao staring straight at him.
"What kind of eyes do you have?" Wang Mingda trembled.
Li Hongbao snorted: "Do you think Ah Jue is useless?"
"Where did you come to this conclusion?" Wang Mingda didn't dare to think that way no matter how brainless he was.
Li Hongbao said seriously: "It's written in your eyes."
Wang Mingda became interested and teased him: "Do you still have mind reading skills?"
"Of course not." Li Hongbao said with contempt in his eyes, "What kind of eyes do you have?"
Wang Mingda wiped his face: "Okay, I have bad eyesight, but you have the best eyesight." To be able to make Wang Shizi a friend, and to board the big ship Qi Lan, he will not accept it!
"Naturally!" Li Hongbao puffed out his chest proudly, "I will be the number one speaker in Daqi in the future!"
"...very ambitious." Wang Mingda didn't want to speak.
Qi Lan and the others were sitting in a group, and Qi Bo and the others were also in a group.
There were a lot of them, forming a circle, Qi Bo was naturally in the middle, and Qi Jialing was also here.
Since Coach Feng left, Lu Changming felt that there were enough personnel, so he didn't ask Emperor Tongxi for any more people. The people on the school grounds were not affected at all.
——After all, they are not practicing martial arts seriously.
Qi Bo poked Qi Jialing who had been watching from a distance: "What's wrong with you? Why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you like riding and archery in the past, and didn't you like the school field?"
Qi Jialing: "I want to see more of Brother Huang's heroic appearance on the school grounds."
Qi Bo: "Do you think I will believe it?"
Qi Jialing paused, bowed his head and said: "Well, I actually want to learn riding and archery a little bit. Look at me, is there still time?"
Before Qi Bo could speak, Feng Xiujie on the side yelled strangely: "What is the princess doing like this? If it hurts from a fall, your empress and Your Majesty will feel sorry for you."
"It's none of your business!" Qi Jialing snorted angrily, "I will learn if I want to, and if I don't want to, I won't learn. Is there anyone else who can force me to do it?"
