In almost two days, at least a dozen people had read the note.

And they are all from poor families.

The news eventually reached the ears of the aristocratic family.

However, the transcript was not obtained.

Therefore, Gao Song, the head of the Gao family, invited several other noble families to taste tea.

Of course, it is said to be tea tasting, but in fact it is just for talking about business.

The current head of the Cai family is Cai Ji’s great uncle, named Cai Quanzhong, who was also invited.

In addition, Xiao Ce, the head of the Xiao family, was also there.

Of course, there are also first- and second-class families such as the Jiang family and the Lu family.

Although I didn't really come here to taste tea.

But everyone still commented on Mr. Gao’s good tea first.

Finally, Gao Song put down the teacup and smiled: "The tea is good, but it disturbs my mood and it is hard to taste it."

Gao Song's implication was clear, and everyone naturally understood it.

The head of the Jiang family raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it because of the recent uproar over the letter?"

Everyone else understood as well.

Gao Song still looked calm and composed, just using a tea needle to poke the tea leaves: "Although it's a small matter, it makes me upset. What do you think?"

This requires them to express their stance.

Xiao Ce asked, "Where did the letter come from? Prime Minister Gao, do you know?"

Gao Song glanced at Xiao Ce indifferently for pretending to be ignorant. He was too lazy to bother with it. "It was the Xu family. It came from Xu Yun. In addition, there is Lu An."

Cai Quanzhong also put down his teacup and continued, "They went to visit Song Qiao together a few days ago."

Lu Zhian said confidently: "Since it was given by Song Qiao, it must be the intention of the two majesties."

Jiang Yunhe, the head of the Jiang family, sighed: "If so, it will be difficult to deal with."

Gao Xu said, "You also have children taking the imperial examinations, so when you go back, you should pay more attention to this aspect. As for us, Your Majesty is cheating like this, and as your subjects, we naturally have to advise you against it."

He stroked his beard and smiled warmly: "Things like leaking questions must be stopped at the source."

Everyone present was not stupid and understood what he meant immediately.

Cai Quanzhong also smiled: "But since this is not on the test, I think there is no need to let the children spend more time on it."

Gao Song glanced at Cai Quanzhong and said, "Your Majesties, if you care, the children should pay more attention to it."

Even if I don't ask now, won't I ask when I meet the emperor in the future? Idiot.

Gao Song never looked at Cai Quanzhong again.

Cai Quanzhong's face turned a little purple, but he didn't say much and just calmed down again.

After drinking tea and the heads of the families left, Gao Song called Gao Xu.

Incense was lit in the room, and a faint fragrance and mist were diffused. Gao Song leaned back in a chair with a calm expression: "What do you think of Xu Yun?"

Gao Xu straightened his back and refilled his grandfather's tea. His smooth flow showed the bearing of a young man from an aristocratic family. He spoke slowly and calmly: "It doesn't really matter what kind of talent Xu Yun has. Your Majesty only needs such a person."

After a pause, he said, "Everyone has good luck sometimes."

Gao Song looked at his most proud grandson, curled his lips, put his hands on his legs, and looked more lazy: "Well said, everyone has good luck sometimes."

"Song Qiao is willing to risk his own reputation, all he wants is the trust and respect of your majesties." Gao Song snorted, "He claims to be upright and disdains to associate with people like us. He thinks he is above the world, and he doesn't even think about whether Xu Yun can bear his expectations!"

Gao Xu listened, holding the teacup, looking at the brown tea in the cup, and somehow he became distracted: It is said that my grandfather and Mr. Song did not get along and were holding a grudge against each other. Maybe it is true?

But Gao Xu soon put aside his distracting thoughts: "Everyone is always confused sometimes."

For example, you can’t tell what a real pearl is.

However, people with such poor vision and who are only interested in currying favor with those in higher positions are not worthy of being leaders.

Gao Song laughed again: "You are right. However, you should also pay attention to the government affairs recently and don't slack off. And don't let Xu Yun outshine you."

Gao Xu responded softly: "My grandson has always been paying attention to me and has never slacked off."

The things that these poor kids were fighting for so hard, he could easily get them every day. How could he be no match for them?

"But be careful. If you meet Xu Yun, you don't have to make friends with her, but you can't be too confrontational." Gao Song was satisfied, thought for a moment, and finally said: "Grandfather knows that you are arrogant and disdain to associate with her, but after all, she is someone His Majesty values."

Gao Song paused and said, "In short, we can't let people think that we did anything."

Gao Xu finally smiled: "Grandfather, you are joking. My Gao family would never target such a person."

Just ants.

Why lower your status?

Gao Song was pleased: "Do well in the exam. Our Gao family will have a top scholar."

Let these people see whether their Gao family is the number one family!

And this tall pine tree reminded Gao Xu.

After Cai Quanzhong returned, he also called his nephew Cai Ji.

Cai Quanzhong was actually in a bad mood after being stabbed by Gao Song. Especially when he saw Cai Ji, his mood became even worse.

After all, Cai Ji’s literary talent is indeed good, but unfortunately... he is not his son.

Compared with Cai Ji's brilliant literary talent, his sons all seemed mediocre.

In the future, the next glory of the Cai family will probably fall on Cai Ji.

Cai Quanzhong kept a straight face and didn't say anything for a long time. Cai Ji had already guessed a lot in his mind, so he didn't dare to ask rashly. After asking how he was, he stood there and waited quietly.

After a long while, Cai Quan looked at Cai Ji again, but did not mention what happened today. Instead, he talked about something else: "Have you dealt with the pastry shop issue?"

Cai Ji's face felt a little hot and embarrassed.

Not only did he fail to accomplish what he asked someone to do, but his uncle found out about it that day and gave him a lecture. He also told him to deal with it cleanly and not let anyone blame the Cai family.

I thought this matter was over, but my uncle brought it up again -

Cai Ji gritted his teeth and replied, "It's been handled. We paid them to keep their mouths shut. And they don't dare to complain."

"Even the Xu family has not pursued the matter any more."

As Cai Ji spoke, he lowered his head a little more.

Cai Quanzhong finally talked about what happened today.

After listening to this, Cai Ji couldn't help but frown: "Why is she so troublesome? What on earth do your majesties like about her?"

Cai Quanzhong glared at Cai Ji and scolded him, "Your Majesty, do you think you can slander her? Why don't you understand that your Majesty likes her? That means they need someone like her to be there!"

"So why did you mess with her?!"

Cai Ji immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Uncle, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Now that Cai Ji has also become a juren, seeing him so well behaved, Cai Quanzhong calmed down a little. He thought that since he was going to be an official after all, he should also consider his face. So, Cai Quanzhong softened his tone a lot: "You should get along better with Xu Yun."
